Chapter 82
Messiah took one last look at the family portrait, then he closed his eyes and suppressed the surging emotions in his heart. He suppressed all the memories of his previous world deep in his memory, and his expression gradually calmed down.
He raised his hand to turn off the "Eternal White" CG, and the screen automatically went to the next page.
[Do you want to open the third round of the world? ]
Messiah clicked "Yes" without hesitation. The weight of life he carried urged him to start the game as soon as possible.
He wants to save these worlds that are destroying themselves, atone for his past deeds, and become a savior who truly lives up to the title of "Messiah."
"Messiah" is the savior in the Bible. He is the holy son given by God to mankind. Legend has it that he will bring salvation to mankind and lead mankind to light.
The Messiah hopes that he, like the “Messiah,” can bring salvation to these doomed worlds.

——[Orphans without relatives]
The Messiah deliberately chose to be an orphan with no relatives and no ties, so that his goal of saving the world would not be affected.
When entering the second world, Messiah's goal was to bring "liberation" to the second world, but it was put on hold due to the existence of his relatives in the second world. In the end, he turned to emotionally ruling the world, but gave up because of the existence of his relatives.
Emotions would make him weak, and only when he is free from all worries can he focus on saving the world.

[Player identity: Messiah Ake, 14 years old, orphan with both parents dead, living alone in
Birthplace: Central City
Messiah blinked slowly. If he remembered correctly, Central City was the city where the Flash lived. Would this be the first place he would come into contact with the Flash in this world?
In the first week of the world, he was born in Metropolis, and the first superhero he came into contact with was Superman. In the end, it was Superman who led the world to fall.
In the second round of the world, he was born in Gotham, and the first superhero he came into contact with was Batman. The name "The Bat Who Laughs" also proves that it was Batman who led the world to fall.
So, in the third round, will it be the Flash who leads the world to decline?
The image of the Flash using his speed force to secretly puff up his cheeks and eat snacks in the meeting appeared in Messiah's mind, and Messiah could not imagine what he would look like in a dark state.
Messiah dismissed the image of the Flash's hamster from his mind, and the screen switched to the next page.
[Start the game]
--[yes]
A white light suddenly lit up, and Messiah was immersed in chaos. He passed through a soft film and saw the shadow of a bat shrouding the earth.
The shadow of the bat exuded a dark aura that disgusted Messiah, as if there were a pair of invisible eyes staring at Messiah, causing Messiah's face to unconsciously turn cold.
This dark aura was exactly the same as the one Messiah smelled in the Court of Owls in the previous world.
Messiah and the bat shadow stared at each other briefly, and the invisible eyes behind the bat shadow seemed to have encountered a natural enemy and quickly retreated.
The shadow of the bat that was shrouding the earth slowly dissipated, and the Messiah successfully descended to Earth.
Black and white.
This was the Messiah’s first impression upon seeing the central city of this world.
The place is filled with overwhelming black and white, as if commemorating the existence of something.
The Flash's flags were hung on the city's buildings, white roses were piled on both sides of the road, most pedestrians were dressed in black and wore white lilies on their chests, and even the roadside stalls were wrapped in white cloth.
The entire central city was filled with a gloomy atmosphere.
The Messiah looked up silently at the Flash statue at the place where he had descended, with white flowers piled under it.
A sobbing child walked up to the statue holding his mother's hand, bent down and placed a bouquet of white lilies in front of the Flash statue.
"Goodbye, Flash." The child said with tears in his eyes.
Messiah stood in front of the Flash statue and witnessed the old man tremblingly put down a white rose, the police solemnly laid a wreath, and the students crying as they put down a large bag of snacks.
"The Flash is dead."
This is the message that the Messiah received from this black and white central city.
A golden light appeared on Messiah's palm and slowly gathered into a white flower, which Messiah gently placed in the sea of flowers in front of the Flash statue.
Messiah glanced at the smiling face of the Flash statue, then turned and walked towards the city. He wanted to obtain information about this world.
Why did the Flash die?
The Messiah stopped in front of a shopping mall with a large screen hanging on it. A very familiar face of the Messiah was announcing to the world with a sad expression.
On the screen, Superman is giving his speech.
"It is with heavy heart that I announce the passing of The Flash. Barry Allen has left us forever."
"The Flash was a key member of the regime. He was once one of the founders of the Justice League, a protector of Central City, and our comrade. However, he lost his life to the conspiracy of the vampire kingdom."
"The vampire Green Lantern lurking in the government killed Barry! The Ghost King transformed Green Lantern into an extremely cruel being. He took advantage of the friendship between Green Lantern and Barry and made Green Lantern kill the defenseless Barry.
"This is the Ghost King's conspiracy, and it's also a provocation from the Vampire Kingdom to the government!"
"I, Kal-El, the Supreme Leader of the Regime, hereby declare—the Regime will declare all-out war against the Vampire Kingdom!"
"If you're interested in joining the regime, you can sign up at the regime's recruitment office and contribute to taking back the world from the vampires and avenging our friend the Flash!"
"Kill the Ghost King Nightwing and take back the other half of the Earth!"
Messiah stared blankly at the scene on the screen. The Supreme Leader, Batman, Shazam, Cyborg and Hawkgirl stood side by side, solemnly swearing to the world in unison that they would lead the regime to fight against the vampire kingdom.
The regime of the Supreme Leader, the Vampire Kingdom, the Ghost King Nightwing, the vampire Green Lantern who killed the Flash... and Batman who joined the regime?
These familiar yet unfamiliar existences impact the Messiah.
From just a few words in the Supreme Leader's speech, Messiah felt the cruelty of the vampire.
What if the Supreme Leader of this world was the same as the Supreme Leader of the Dark Multiverse: Injustice in the first game... plus the cruel vampire kingdom...
Messiah was shocked and stunned. What kind of universe was this? How could it be so chaotic?
The speech image on the screen began to play again, and the sad face of the Supreme Head of State appeared on the screen again.
Messiah opened his hearing and vision, and based on the discussions of the surrounding Central City residents, he learned that the Flash's death had happened a month ago. The Supreme Leader's speech had been repeated in Central City for a month, taking away nearly half of the young and middle-aged people in Central City.
Those young and middle-aged men accepted the conscription of the regime and joined the super-powered army created by Lex Luthor, heading to Metropolis, the central battlefield between the vampire kingdom and the regime.
“…”
Messiah gazed at the white of Central City and whispered softly, "It turns out this white is not just for the Flash."
——Also for their loved ones who died in the war between the regime and the vampire kingdom.
Dick... No, why did Nightwing in this world become the Ghost King?
Why would Batman, who has always been against dictatorship, join the regime in this world?
With the experience of the first world, Messiah was already familiar enough with the political power, so he first focused his attention on the vampire kingdom.
...Perhaps, there is also a factor of influence from the residual emotions from the previous world.
Messiah freed his hearing and vision, focusing his attention on the entire Earth, and began to explore the "Vampire Kingdom" and the "Ghost King Nightwing".
"Bludhaven…and Gotham?"
Pieces of information were sent back to Messiah, allowing him to learn about the two most important cities in the vampire kingdom.
[The vampire kingdom rules half of the earth's land. Bludhaven is the vampires' human pasture, where vampires raise their food - humans.
Gotham is the capital of the vampire kingdom, where the ghost king Nightwing and his superheroes who have transformed into vampires are stationed.
Messiah couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Human...ranch?"
Vampires... actually raise humans as livestock?
Messiah learned a little about the cruelty of vampires from the Supreme Leader's speech, but he didn't expect it to be so cruel.
"How could Dick become like this..."
Messiah couldn't imagine Dick becoming so cruel. He was the original Robin... the wonder boy in everyone's heart...
Messiah quickly summarized the information about the Ghost King Nightwing, and he soon found the origin of the Ghost King, which came from Batman's oral narration and the Ghost King's tacit consent.
[After the destruction of Metropolis, Batman killed the Joker, and the Joker's death brought many impacts to Gotham. Batman has been busy dealing with the subsequent impact and has reduced his meetings with the Bat Family.
Once he finally dealt with the fallout from the Joker's death, he convened the Bat-Family to discuss how to deal with the regime established by Superman and the Justice League.
But at the Bat Family's meeting, Nightwing behaved strangely...
The bats sensed something was wrong, and Nightwing suddenly attacked and killed all the bats present, from Jason to Damian, to Alfred and Barbara, no member of the Bat Family was spared.
Only Batman, who escaped death, became the only survivor and brought the information to the Justice League that Nightwing had turned into a vampire - Nightwing had lost all his emotions and memories.
Later, Nightwing, who turned into a vampire, became the Vampire King. He transformed superheroes such as Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Hawkman, and Raven into vampires and established the Vampire Kingdom.
In order to fight against the ghost king Nightwing and avenge his dead family, Batman took the initiative to join Superman's regime.]
Messiah silently read the intelligence collected by his brain. It turned out that this was the origin of the vampire kingdom and Batman who joined the regime.
He couldn't believe Dick would become so cruel, but the Supreme Leader was once a gentle and compassionate Superman. Messiah thought so, Nightwing was just another more cruel Supreme Leader.
"Is this the world destined to be destroyed..." Messiah murmured, "This world is more hopeless than any other world before it."
The vampire kingdoms are at odds with the regime, each occupying half of the Earth's landmass, and this is even just part of the chaos in this world.
According to the intelligence collected by Messiah, a war also broke out between the Amazons and the Atlanteans. They occupied the land and sea along the coast and fought each other under the command of Wonder Woman and Aquaman.
[Wonder Woman and Aquaman were once members of the regime, but at a regime meeting led by Batman, Queen Hippolyta of Paradise Island and Queen Mera of the Sea accidentally had an argument, which turned into a battle, and finally both of them died.
Wonder Woman, who lost her mother, and Aquaman, who lost his wife, hated each other. They withdrew from the government and returned to Paradise Island and Atlantis.
Wonder Woman became the new queen of Paradise Island and led the Amazons to declare war on Atlantis, vowing to avenge her dead mother.
Aquaman also led the Seven Seas Kingdom to declare war on Paradise Island, vowing to avenge his dead wife.]
Paradise Island became an ally of the regime, Atlantis became an ally of the vampires, and the Earth was completely split into two parts.
——Now, the entire earth is caught in the war between the regime and the vampire kingdom, and between Paradise Island and Atlantis.
The ruins of Metropolis are the center of the battlefield between the Regime and the Vampire Kingdom, while Paradise Island and Atlantis are fighting on the coastline.
Messiah always felt that there was some inconsistency in the intelligence about the Vampire Kingdom, Paradise Island, and Atlantis, as if some invisible hand was manipulating them from behind.
But those shocking scenes left Messiah no time to think further.
The sky above the city ruled by the ghost king Nightwing is covered with dark clouds, which have become human pastures for the vampire kingdom. The vampires unscrupulously enjoy and transform the humans in the city.
The coastal cities, divided between Paradise Island and Atlantis, were filled with Amazons and Atlanteans fighting recklessly, destroying cities as they went.
The ruins of Metropolis were scattered with vampire ashes and human corpses, and the corpses of Amazons and Atlanteans floated on the ocean.
The city ruled by the regime... turned out to be the most peaceful place on earth. With the assistance of Batman, the brutal supreme leader became the hope of mankind.
Messiah stared blankly at the devastated earth and the unrecognizable people. His former companions were fighting each other, and innocent humans were wailing and wailing.
Is this the world destined to be destroyed...
How can I save you, Earth?
How can I save you, humans?
