Chapter 101· Chapter 101
This is a land of boundless darkness where a burning furnace rests. Billions of worlds are born from it, some of which float up to the world orbit with hope, while others are trapped in darkness and turn into eternal nothingness.
The World Forger and his pet, the dragon Barbatos, guarded the forge and forged the world, but everything changed when Barbatos killed the World Forger.
Barbatos left behind all the dark multiverses that were supposed to be destroyed and recast, intending to use them to invade the normal universe and drag the entire multiverse into darkness.
Messiah and Barbatos looked at each other across the endless darkness. His gaze only stayed on Barbatos for a moment before moving on the dim star that Barbatos blocked behind him.
It was the world's furnace that should have burned eternally, but now it has gone out.
Compared to Barbatos, whom he could kill at any time, Messiah still felt that the extinguishing of the World Crucible was more important.
Messiah had not expected Barbatos to extinguish the World Forge, and the moment he saw the dimmed star, he realized why the Supreme God told him not to be obsessed with completing his mission.
Worlds are dying in the multiverse every moment, but it can always remain in a vibrant and stable state because new worlds are being forged in the world furnace every moment.
Once the Crucible of Worlds is extinguished, the multiverse will become a stagnant pool after losing the injection of vitality, and then step by step towards death and destruction in silence.
"So that's how it is." Messiah gazed at the dim black star and whispered to himself, "The omniscient and almighty Jehovah already knows the 'future', so he is telling me about it."
But this is just the Messiah's subjective speculation.
He hopes that the Supreme God is a merciful and loving God, and subconsciously rejects the possibility that the Supreme God does not love the world, so he regards the words and deeds of the Supreme God as hints.
The Messiah hoped that the Supreme Father would love the world.
The bat dragon with a hideous and twisted appearance flapped its wings restlessly. After realizing that Messiah's attention was not on it at all, Barbatos' mood turned into anger.
"Messiah, are you looking down on me?" Barbatos moved his claws impatiently. His sharp claws felt itchy, and he felt the urge to tear something apart. "Even if you are the Son of God, you will pay the price for underestimating the God of Darkness!"
Barbatos admitted that it was afraid of the Messiah. The Messiah's power symbolized light and purification, while its power came from darkness and destruction, and the Messiah just restrained it.
not to mention……
Barbatos looked at the Messiah's calm and indifferent expression. The Messiah was the Son of God who was born to destroy it. He was the savior given by God to the multiverse, and his strength was far stronger than it.
When Barbatos saw Messiah for the first time, he saw that he was destined to be killed by Messiah in the future, so he repeatedly tampered with the world Messiah experienced.
In the first world, it deliberately brought forward the destruction of the metropolis, allowing the ignorant Messiah to witness the destruction firsthand, but it could not resist the Messiah's natural desire to protect the people he loved.
Fortunately, Messiah chose to protect by means of destruction. Barbatos saw other possibilities from this, so he intensified his actions and continued to make changes in the second world.
In the second world, it deliberately made Messiah the brother of the second-generation Robin who was destined to die, and secretly gave a psychological hint to Batman who would become the Bat Who Laughs in the future. However, Messiah erased the possibility of Batman becoming the Bat Who Laughs, and let the damn second-generation Robin crawl out of the grave, allowing Messiah to once again master the power of protection.
After the end of the second world, Barbatos realized that the time for Messiah to wake up was getting closer, so he directly manipulated the third world, causing the Laughing Bat and the Supreme Leader, who were supposed to never be born again, to appear.
Results, results!
Not only did it not delay the Messiah’s awakening, but it directly facilitated the Messiah’s awakening!
Barbatos was furious, very furious, and wished the Messiah and everything He cared about would die, but he could not do anything under the Messiah's gaze.
The previous times it was able to act tactfully were because the Messiah was still in a confused state, and the Supreme God did not know why he did not stop it, so it was able to successfully influence the worlds that the Messiah entered.
Messiah knew nothing of Barbatos's thoughts, nor of the impotent rage that Barbatos hated him so deeply but could do nothing about.
Facing Barbatos' questioning, Messiah acted as if he didn't hear it, and all his attention was focused on the extinguished World Crucible. He was thinking about how the weak Barbatos managed to extinguish the World Crucible, and how he could reignite the World Crucible.
Barbatos felt that it was about to lose its breath and heartbeat due to the rage. If it was still in dragon form, two streams of flame would have been spewed out of its nose.
"Messiah!" Barbatos gnashed his teeth. "How dare you ignore the great Bat God, the Lord of the Dark Multiverse, the dragon Barbatos who symbolizes darkness and destruction!"
Messiah didn't even look at Barbatos, but was still concentrating on observing the World Crucible. He saw an extremely strong dark power at the core of the World Crucible. This power should not be able to survive in the World Crucible that could even burn the world.
Barbatos became even angrier, especially after realizing that its behavior was nothing but impotent rage.
It flapped its bat wings angrily, wanting to attack Messiah, but gave up after seeing the powerful strength contained in Messiah.
But soon, it noticed that Messiah's gaze had been fixed on the World Crucible, and instantly thought of a way to 'attack' Messiah, and so it became happy again.
"You care about the World Forge a lot, don't you?" Barbatos said proudly, especially after noticing that Messiah finally looked at it. Even if it was just a casual glance, it was much better than not even looking at it at all. "You know how I extinguished..."
Messiah saw that Barbatos seemed to want to give a long speech, and even if Barbatos wanted to talk about something he cared about, he didn't really want to listen.
"Get to the point." Messiah looked away gloomily. After interrupting Barbatos, he said concisely, "Speak or die."
If he told it, he could let Barbatos live a little longer. If he didn't tell it, then there would be no value for Barbatos to live. The only value might be that after killing it, he would have one less buzzing noise in his ears when he continued to study the World Crucible.
Barbatos was so angry that he was about to attack Messiah regardless of the consequences!
But thinking of the Messiah's devastated expression later, it became happy again with the comfort of the method of spiritual victory.
"You've also seen the dark power at the core of the World Forge. I didn't inject this dark power into it." Barbatos laughed recklessly, his tone revealing undisguised malice. "You know, these dark multiverses should have been destroyed, but I left them behind."
Messiah's expression was startled for a moment, and then turned cold and serious in an instant. His calm eyes as he looked at Barbatos finally became murderous.
That's it, that's how it's supposed to perform!
Barbatos laughed loudly. It was the Messiah's fault for insisting on saving the third world. If He had come to it earlier, it would not have had time to destroy the World Furnace.
If the Messiah had not developed feelings for weak humans without permission, it would not have thought of this good idea.
"Yes, these are the Dark Multiverses." Barbatos looked back at Messiah defiantly. "I threw them into the Crucible of Worlds. While burning these worlds, the Crucible of Worlds was also infected."
Seeing Messiah's gaze frozen like ice, Barbatos asked knowingly, "Why are you angry? These are just worlds that were meant to be destroyed. I am their creator, so I naturally have the power to dispose of them."
"Oh—" Barbatos seemed to suddenly remember something, "Is it for Batman? For your Bat-father?"
"I forgot to mention that there are so many dark multiverses that it wouldn't take that many to extinguish the Crucible of Worlds. I specifically picked some of the worlds where Batman has gone dark."
Messiah moved suddenly, and the cold murderous intent approached Barbatos in an instant.
But before death came, Barbatos spoke faster.
"Don't you hate that your bat father has fallen? I destroyed their fallen world. You should be thanking me. I sacrificed the Dream Knights that I was planning to form."
"Right." Barbatos thought, since he was only going to die, he might as well say it out loud before he died. The angrier Messiah got, the happier he got. "You're Batman's son, so you should call me grandfather. After all, I'm Batman's 'father'. Batman was born after he saw me."
“You should…!”
Before Barbatos could finish his words, Messiah suddenly grabbed his throat and interrupted him.
But it no longer cares.
After all, seeing Messiah so angry represents its success.
How wonderful it is that it can make the Messiah, the Son of God who was born to save the world, angry.
Barbatos laughed loudly under Messiah's palm, but the laughter suddenly disappeared the moment Messiah opened his mouth. It looked at Messiah's face with horror, almost thinking that it had driven Messiah crazy.
Otherwise why would the Messiah say not to kill it.
"No, I won't kill you outright."
Messiah also smiled, a warm smile appeared on his face after the ice and snow melted, and his expression was terrifyingly gentle.
At this moment, Barbatos regretted that he should not have provoked Messiah so recklessly.
But obviously, it was too late.
"There are better places for you to go than death, Barbatos."
Messiah looked at Barbatos as if he were looking at a pitiful and lovely being.
【Author’s words】
I finally finished writing it, but Jinjiang missed me. Why is it stuck again? I hate it.
I've been a bit busy these past two days. I have to go to the hospital to check my ligaments QAQ. Didn't I complain about falling down on one knee in May? At that time, the bone was fine, so I didn't take it seriously. As a result, it still hurts now. I suspect that I may have injured the ligament. Now I have to go to the hospital for an MRI for further examination [burst crying][burst crying][burst crying]
You can’t take a CT scan after a fall and then ignore it because the bones are fine. It’s possible that the ligaments were damaged. [Heartbroken]
