The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 1734 S Apocalypse Event (28)
"Wait, what is going on?!" The woman holding the steel whip took a step back, looked up at the sky with wide eyes, and a roar echoed outside the star port.

"This is a star port floating in outer space! Why is it raining??!!!"

The men following the woman were also a little panicked. They took a few steps back and looked at the vision in the sky at a loss. However, the lowly men next to them who were not wearing armor but wearing cloth clothes lowered their heads in confusion. Looking at their hands, the rain falling on their skin did not slip from the surface of the skin, but disappeared.

The woman was stunned for a moment, a look of panic flashed in her eyes, and veins suddenly appeared in the hand holding the steel whip. She said in a very low voice that no one else could hear: "How is this possible? The force field of Apokolips has been broken. ?! This, this is absolutely impossible, no one has ever done it, no, we must find a way to solve it."

She gritted her teeth, and the expression on her face gradually turned fierce. The muscles in her arms stretched out the tights almost instantly. With a loud roar, she swung the steel whip suddenly, and the electric current flew in the entire hall.

"Go ahead, kill them!" the woman screamed, "We must not let them invade Apokolips!"

She had completely forgotten her contemptuous attitude just now, because she knew more than the other low-level soldiers here, so she understood what the change that had just happened meant.

Apokolips itself is a massive force field.

This is the truth that only Apokolips’ high-level officials know. The reason why this planet can maintain such a strange state under the physical rules of the universe is because Apokolips is both a planet and a galaxy, a physical celestial body, and an aggregation of energy. body.

In addition to maintaining the existence of Apokolips, this force field also has the most important function. Any creature living in this force field will be affected by the force field and become loyal to Darkseid, and will eventually become Darkseid. A fanatical fan of Said, willing to sacrifice everything for him, including his own life.

This is why Darkseid's fleet will plunder prisoners all over the universe and then scatter them on the huge surface, because after a while, they will become naturally loyal soldiers and workers, asking for nothing in return, just Willing to die for Darkseid.

There is no need for Apokolips to develop robots and clone tactics that may go out of control or rebel. Instead, the natural intelligent lifeforms affected by Apokolips's force field are the most loyal. You only need to throw them on the surface of the planet for a period of time. There is nothing better than this. A cheaper way to make cannon fodder.

But now, it seems that there is another darker force field that is gradually eroding the Apocalypse force field covering the star port. Perhaps it is not accurate to say that erosion is more like a replacement or cover, the familiar force field in the star port. The force field has completely disappeared, replaced by the cold wind, cold rain and darkness, as well as silent seriousness and terrifying crazy laughter.

"Lady Lashina, something is wrong..." A trembling voice came from behind the woman. She turned to look and found a guard slumped on the ground, looking at the top of the starport with a horrified expression.

There is a masked area with a transparent roof. The woman called Rashina looked back, and the forced calm expression on her face completely collapsed, because what appeared above her head were dense dark clouds and behind the dark clouds. A full moon now.

"What the hell is going on here?!!" Rashina shouted in collapse: "This is a space station, where does the atmosphere come from? What is that yellow celestial body that glows?!!"

Constantine, who was stroking the wine glass with his fingers, also showed a puzzled expression. He looked at the inexplicably changing weather on the screen and asked in a confused tone: "So what is going on? Who did you send and what did you send?" Is it an illusion? But if it's just a scene, why are these people worried?"

"This shows that what they saw was more than just a scene." Schiller lightly held the upper rim of the wine glass and placed it flat on the wooden armrest. He put one leg on the other and crossed his fingers on his body. Before, he showed a smile, but didn't explain much.

This is to mention the derivative law beyond the law of aggregation of Batman and the Joker, which is Gotham's identity formula.

Did Batman and the Joker come first or Gotham first?
This is actually a question worth thinking about. Some people believe that the Joker was born in the darkness of Gotham. It was the dark social status of Gotham that gave him a bad day, and the Joker appeared.

If you follow this idea, the order of appearance should be Batman first, Gotham second, and Joker third. It is precisely to highlight Batman’s dark characteristics that Gotham will always be affected by a kind of root darkness. , so the clown was born.

But the problem with this idea is that it deconstructs the fatalism between Batman and the Joker. It believes that the Joker is an indirect product, just a supporting role in Batman's dark story, and is an equal existence to Gotham. He was even born in Gotham. Gotham is a bit lower.

But this violates the law of aggregation of Batman and Joker. The equality of Batman and Joker is an unchanging identity of the DC universe. They are always directly related. It is not who caused the creation of the other, but they always achieve each other and are interdependent.

So it seems that the existence of Gotham is unnecessary between Batman and the Joker, but in fact Gotham represents not only a city on the east coast of the United States, but also a symbol of Batman's never-ending journey. The elements that build the stage in a dark story are as complex as those that build the characters of Batman and the Joker.

As we all know, the elements that make up the Joker can include Batman's gaze, a chemical pool, a bad day, a smiling face, the circus, etc. Then the first element that makes up Gotham is naturally Batman, and the second element is Batman's old enemies.

Gotham is a stage set up for the never-ending struggle between Batman and his old enemies. Therefore, wherever the struggle is staged, there is a stage, and naturally there is Gotham. This is the identity formula of Gotham.Of course, since Gotham is defined in this way, it can be deduced that the biggest factors affecting the existence of Gotham are Batman and his old enemy. Although the old enemy includes the clown, in the Gotham identity formula, the nature of Gotham's existence The biggest influence is still Batman.

In other words, this is somewhat similar to the Batman-Joker Law of Aggregation. As Batman exists, Gotham will change due to his different states.

For example, Batman like the Batman of the main universe seems completely unable to save Gotham. That is because the darkness in their hearts has never been changed, and the darkness in Gotham that originated from its roots will not. If it disappears, the dark nature of this city will continue to exist for a long time.

But in some comics, Batman ceased to be Batman and became Bruce Wayne, using commercial means to save the city, successfully saving the dark city and restoring true order to Gotham.

Some people say that those dark Batmen are stupid and didn't think of using capital means to save the city, but in fact this is just the influence of the bottom root of the universe. When Batman is in a quagmire and cannot save himself, Gotham cannot be saved. When he left behind all the darkness of the past, Gotham was naturally able to see the light again.

Schiller, who witnessed Bruce's transformation with his own eyes, naturally confirmed this. If Batman is saved, Gotham will be saved. If Batman sees the light, Gotham will be able to see the light again.

The man who is called the protagonist in the story is so deeply bound to his stage background that anyone who wants to bypass Batman and save Gotham is just a daydream.

But for this phenomenon alone, Schiller believes it is possible to dig deeper.

First of all, if the darker Batman is, the darker Gotham is, is there something else about Batman that changes Gotham, like the strength of Batman's bond with the Joker?
However, after Schiller's student Bruce became an angel, Schiller did not notice much change in Gotham. He believed that this might be because Bruce replaced Gabriel's person, rather than truly becoming an archangel. Gabriel's position already existed, Bruce just took his place, so it didn't have much impact.

Schiller's series of big plans to capture the evil Batman include a small experimental goal, which is to see if this uncontaminated natural Batman will have some strange powers after he has acquired it. Gotham changes.

As we all know, Batman cannot use magic, otherwise the universe will be destroyed. Therefore, Batman who accepts other powers cannot stay in his original universe. Otherwise, even if the universe is destroyed, the experimental results will not be seen.

After Bruce from Schiller's universe brought little Bruce here, Schiller was not sure whether this individual who had not yet become Batman could be considered Batman or whether the experiment would be effective, but he was here anyway, so let's give it a try chant.

After successfully seducing Nyarlathotep to become interested in Bruce Jr. and lent him his power, Schiller took Bruce Jr. into the dark space. It was a bit beyond his expectation that Bruce Jr. was more ambitious than he imagined. If there is a bigger one, either don’t have it, or have it all.

After learning that Bruce was likely to have merged the powers of Nyarlathotep and Barbatos, Schiller thought it was time to test whether his assumption was correct, so he turned to the Necromancer for help while Helen and Harley When writing the book, he gave a very detailed plan including theory and implementation methods.

In the Necronomicon, Schiller introduced the Batman-Joker Aggregation Law and several formulas in this law in detail to Harley and Helen, including the conditions for the creation of clowns, and the phenomenon of the binding of Batman and clown strength.

That's why the two girls felt so shocked when they saw this plan. The reason is that no one in this world knows Batman better than Schiller.

Of course, Schiller expected that Helen would eventually take the role of the Joker. After all, she had already guessed the true identity of the Necronomicon. Helen knew that everyone involved in Schiller's plan might be pushed away. There is still hardship to be endured, but the more you pay, the greater your rewards will be. Helen keenly felt that there were benefits to be gained from this, and finally agreed.

According to the Batman-Joker Aggregation Law, the Doomsday who became the Joker must be stronger than Batman. Therefore, little Bruce almost immediately discovered that the two forces that were originally competing with each other in his body were transformed into one that he did not even react to. The speed came together and some wonderful chemical reactions took place.

The dark multiverse energy representing Barbatos merges with the cipher power representing the outer god Nyarlathotep. When power and knowledge merge into one, Batman's strength rises rapidly until he reaches the point where he meets the young boy The Joker of Doom is on a level like no other.

By the same token, Gotham, which was deeply influenced by Batman, has also changed. In other words, Gotham's current strength is approximately equal to Bruce Jr. and Helen of Doom, and Doom itself is a complete supermodel.

And because the changes produced by Little Bruce are inseparable from occultism and magic, his own stage Gotham also has similar attributes, implying darkness, madness and dazzling mystery.

Little Bruce looked up, and what he saw from the rain, dark clouds and the moon that appeared and appeared behind the clouds was not only Gotham, but also the always cloudy, damp and cold bay town in Massachusetts.
