I want to have a date with Superman

Bruce shook his head and said: "You have such a wonderful idea. I can't control my dreams, and I can't guarantee that dreams related to the power of Manhattan will definitely become a 'dark dream' chosen by the dark multiverse.

As a result, you frequently broke the world barriers in the fifth and sixth dimensions, causing the origin wall to collapse faster. Not only did you fail to find the power of Manhattan to solve the crisis, but you artificially created a multiverse-level crisis.

To take a step back, even if there is a dream of 'Batman Blue' becoming a dark universe, you will definitely be able to find Batman Blue before he controls the power of Manhattan?

The flow of time in the Dark Multiverse is obviously much faster than that of the main universe.

Maybe only a few days have passed in the main universe, and a certain dream world in the dark multiverse has completed its life.

You said it yourself, if the 'Dark Blue Bat' really appears, even if the dark universe in which he lives comes to an end, he can escape and evade your search.

In the end, you still can't find the power of Manhattan to solve the crisis, but instead create a multiverse-level hidden danger. "

"The best way is for me to stop having nightmares, especially 'Blue Bat Dreams,'" he concluded.

"Alas, it seems that the 'Blue Harley' plan cannot be realized in a short time." What he said made sense, and Harley could only sigh helplessly.

Bruce frowned and said, "You haven't completely given up on this plan yet?"

"When the world is completely peaceful, and when the 'Galaxy Admiral' retires, I can spend a few years waiting in the dark multiverse: you dream of the 'dark blue bat' in the human world, and I observe every new birth in the sixth dimension. The nightmare world.

I am not the Sage of Ochi.

Although I am also disgusted by the story of the Dark Multiverse, I can barely bear to swallow it for the huge benefits.

Well, I can strip away my emotions and remain absolutely calm and rational. " Harley said.

"I'm afraid that the multiverse will not be completely peaceful in a 'short time'. I can't even see signs that the crisis will disappear. Instead, I feel that the crises in the future will only become more frequent and more terrifying." Bruce said pessimistically.

"Just watch, it won't be long before signs of Uuchi Taiping will appear." Harley's tone was certain and her expression was very confident.

She wasn't overly optimistic.

When many large-scale multiverse-level crises broke out before, it was Papetua who hid behind them and stirred up trouble.

Now that she has tested the reaction of the Origin Judge and related organizations, she will soon jump out on her own.

When Papetua commits suicide, at least the crisis within the DC multiverse will be reduced a lot.

At that time, the world will be at peace.

Only crises from outside the multiverse require Harley's personal attention.

Even in the crisis of the omnipotent universe, Dr. Manhattan's power is still very advanced, very easy to use, very valuable, and it is worth her spending several years to plan.

"What are the signs of peace in the world?" Bruce asked.

Harley shook her head and said, "When the omen appears, you don't need me to tell you. You can see it and understand it yourself."

"Why don't you just go to Dr. Manhattan and ask him for the Power of Manhattan?" Bruce asked.

Harley rolled her eyes at him, "Do you think he and I are friends, and he will give me whatever I want?"

"I thought you two had reconciled," Bruce said.

Harley laughed at herself: "I wanted to take advantage of him and be good, first steal his power, and then continue to be friends with him.

It's a pity that I'm not dead now. It's not that he forgave me for stealing the origin of 'Black Manhattan', but that he tried to kill me but failed.

That day I not only stole his origin, but also killed his last and only love.

Without me, Aunt Angela would get the power of Black Manhattan and become the female Doctor Manhattan.

She may continue to double as Dr. Manhattan in the quantum realm.

But at this time, Aunt Angela had already overcome her sorrow and met her beloved again.

After her second marriage, she can now even take care of her children.

Dr. Manhattan will never truly forgive me in my lifetime. "

Bruce looked thoughtful, and asked after a moment: "No matter how absurd our nightmare is, as long as it is a dark dream, as long as it is selected, the absurd dream content will become reality?

If I dreamed that I had the omnipotent power of God, wouldn’t there be a ‘God Batman’ in the dark universe?

If you want some kind of power, just let us have nightmares with corresponding content. Wouldn't it be possible to use the Dark Multiverse as a vegetable garden and harvest the strange power you want in it? "

Harley pondered: "Theoretically, the Dark Multiverse is the vegetable garden of 'Origin'.

Not only the dark multiverse, but also our multiverse, isn’t it the vegetable garden of the ‘Transcendental Organization’?

Not long ago, didn’t the Omega Titans come in to harvest the essence of civilization?

As long as the strong are strong enough, the world will revolve around the will of the strong, and the rules of the world are the embodiment of the will of the strong.

But the Dark Multiverse is not a vegetable garden for harvesting ‘miracle energy’.

It might be easier for me to talk to Superman if he were here.

He comes from a rural farm and has farmed before. He knows that the vegetables grown in different vegetable gardens are different, and the factors such as fertilization, cultivation, and soil are different.

The Dark Multiverse is a garden dedicated to extremely dark emotional energy.

Miracle energy is just a by-product, and its type and output are difficult to control.

No matter how absurd the content of the dark dream is, the extreme emotions provided are the same, with no qualitative differences or changes.

But dreams come from knowledge and experience. If you have never seen a woman, even if you have an erotic dream during the estrus period, you will only dream of yourself cuddling with a strong man with a bearded face. "

Bruce's cheek muscles twitched slightly.

"The same thing applies to energy. You can't dream about energy that doesn't exist in the universe.

And the energy you have seen must exist in the universe.

Since it is the energy in the universe, it is of course controlled by the ‘origin’ and can be generated from the egg of the universe.

Of course, our multiverse experience has been quite unique in recent years, with several external ‘new forces’ coming in one after another.

Just like the power of Dr. Manhattan.

Before Crisis on Infinite Earths, even if you dreamed of becoming Dr. Manhattan, even if your nightmare was chosen by Barbatos, it would be difficult for a 'blue-skinned Batman' to be born in the dark dream.

Because at that time, the power of Manhattan only belonged to Dr. Manhattan and had not become one of the basic energies of the universe. "

Bruce's eyes lit up and he quickly said: "I dreamed that I became 'Blue Skinned Bruce', just after you robbed the power of Dr. Black Manhattan.

The Crisis on Infinite Earths hadn't started yet. At least it wasn't over yet. "

The leader of the Crisis on Infinite Earths is the Anti-Monitor King. He wants to devour the Ten Thousand Heavenly Instruments and turn the entire multiverse into a "new antimatter multiverse" based on antimatter energy, thereby gaining power beyond ordinary creators, that is, becoming the "Master" "Prison".

The reason behind the outbreak of the Crisis on Infinite Earths was Papetua. She used whispers to bewitch the Anti-Supervisor King and made him have the ambition to become the Supervisor.

The root cause of the crisis on Infinite Earths is the "Origin" of the DC multiverse, which wants to forcibly integrate the outsider Dr. Manhattan into the "Origin" and make his Manhattan power become part of the basic energy of the DC multiverse.

Then destiny comes, and the "abandoned" Earth scientist in the parallel universe encounters an experimental accident and accidentally punches a hole connecting the antimatter universe in the laboratory, causing antimatter energy to pour into his earth and his universe. Only then did he An opportunity for the anti-surveillance king to start a wave of antimatter.

Before the Crisis on Infinite Earths was completely over, and before Harley held Papetua's hand and restarted the new universe, Doctor Manhattan's power was not part of the DC universe and was not controlled by "Origin".

By that time the caster had already burped.

Papetua not only bewitched the rebel king, but the brains of her four "sons" were polluted by her whispers.

Before Crisis on Infinite Earths began, Barbatos began using Bateman's nightmares to create a dark universe.

If Bruce's "Blue Dream" took place before Crisis on Infinite Earths, or even during Crisis on Infinite Earths, then they don't have to worry about the suspected missing "Dark Blue Bat" now.

"Are you sure you haven't had the 'Blue Blues' dream again after the Crisis on Infinite Earths?" Harley frowned slightly. Not only did she not smile as easily as Bruce, but there was a hint of haze in her originally calm and clear heart.

At this moment, destiny seemed to be lightly touched by something, and ripples appeared in the river of destiny.

But it could also be an illusion, Harley was very unsure.

"The 'Blue Bat Dream' that I have the deepest impression and the clearest memory is only once. As I said before, after you snatched the power of black-skinned Manhattan, I collected Dr. Manhattan's detailed information and prepared to become the 'Fourth Doctor Manhattan'. Defense Plan'.

The original blue-skinned Doctor Manhattan was the first Manhattan, the later black-skinned Doctor Manhattan was the second, and you are the third person with the power of Manhattan.

The "Fourth Doctor Manhattan" is the second person after you to successfully steal the power of Manhattan.

I'm worried that someone will repeat your adventure and become a 'crisis factor' that is out of control and ultimately threatens the security of the earth. "

"You're just worried," Harley said.

Bruce said sternly: "You may not have noticed, but after you successfully harvested the fruits of the 'Seventh Knights', the US government, the Pentagon, and even mysterious organizations similar to the 'Seventh Knights' were all very excited and wanted to reappear. The experiment of the 'Seventh Knight'.

Since Dr. Manhattan is dead, they even plan to plot against you and extract the power of Manhattan from you.

If the Crisis on Infinite Earths hadn't come soon after, and you had made a splash, challenged the gods, shocked the multiverse, and also restarted the universe, rewriting the reality of many people who participated in the "Fourth Manhattan Experiment", they would have definitely caused a lot of trouble. Disaster.

Didn’t the later ‘Emperor’ Captain Atom master the weak Manhattan quantum force? "

"When I say you are worried, I mean that you are completely incapable of handling this kind of crisis, and all 'defense plans' are useless," said Harley.

Bruce sighed and said: "You are right. After studying the detailed information about Doctor Manhattan, I found that there are only two ways to go in the 'Fourth Doctor Manhattan Defense Plan'. One is to take you as the main one and rely entirely on you to fight against the Fourth Doctor Manhattan Defense Plan." The fourth Doctor Manhattan; the other is that I myself become the Fourth Doctor Manhattan.

Then I dreamed at night that I was becoming Dr. Manhattan step by step.

I may have dreamed about Dr. Manhattan later, but they were not as impressive as that time. "

Having said this, a relaxed smile appeared on his face again, "At least we don't need to worry about that 'Dark Blue Bat', right?

Even if his story appears in the Dark Multiverse, he is destined to fail to become a true blue-skinned Bruce. "

Harley opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't express the "shadow" in her heart.

She wasn't sure if it was an illusion, and telling Bruce would only make him more worried.

And his blind worries can easily turn into "dark dreams."

"Well, as long as you stabilize your mind and no longer have nightmares about 'Blue Batman', we don't need to worry about the 'Dark Blue Bat Crisis'."

Bruce's smile faded and he said distressedly: "I can temporarily control myself not to think about something, but I can't always control my thoughts, let alone my dreams.

In addition to thinking less and thinking less, do you have any other suggestions?

Can you let the Dream Lord Morpheus take away my ability to dream? "

"Morpheus can certainly do it, but dreams are a combination of active thoughts and dreams.

Without the ability to dream, first of all, you will become dull, your mind will be as heavy as cement, and you will no longer be able to keep up with the clown's flexible and bizarre thoughts; secondly, you will lose interest in everything, even if the clown is in front of you. Even when dancing, you are insensitive and unresponsive.

Have you heard about how Morpheus took the helmet from the demon in hell, right?

He threatens Lucifer that if he doesn't let him go, he will deprive all demons of their dreams and dreams.

Even demons are afraid of losing their dreams, and yet you took the initiative to let Morpheus take away your ability to dream. Is there something wrong with your head? "

Seeing what else he wanted to say, Harley waved her hand and said: "Go back for vacation honestly. The more peaceful and peaceful your life will be during the day, the more peaceful your sleep will be at night.

Letting yourself live like an ordinary person is the normal way to eliminate the nightmare world.

Other evil ways will only make your nightmares more terrifying. "

Bruce finally asked: "If I or a superhero is left with a psychological shadow during the Omega Titan Crisis and has a nightmare about the Omega Titan, can the Omega Titan be resurrected?"

Harley's tone was affirmative and she said without thinking: "The Omega Titan resurrected by the Origin can still destroy the planet, but destroying the planet is only required by the story.

They are no longer Omega Titans and pose no threat to the multiverse. "

Half a month later, the excitement of the Omega Titan Crisis has subsided slightly.

Alien ambassadors no longer rush to Earth in an endless stream, and the "heroic couples" who go on vacation also return to their posts in high spirits.

Wayne Manor, underground bat cave.

night.

Bruce spent two hours reading the "Batman Family's" duty records in Gotham over the past half month, and learned in detail about the latest trends in Gotham's criminal activities.

"Damian, Jason, if you are fine tonight, you will still perform patrol duties. Dick, go to the west of the city to inquire about the movements of the Clown Gang. The Clown has not made any big moves in three months, which is very abnormal."

"Aren't you back?" Dick was surprised. In the past, Batman tried his best to handle matters related to the Joker by himself, sometimes not even allowing them to follow him, and not allowing them to participate at all.

Damian also frowned and said, "Jason and I patrol the streets, what are you doing?"

He thought that his father had been holding back for half a month and finally returned from vacation, ready to stretch his muscles!

Bruce hesitated for a while and said frankly: "I originally planned to patrol the streets by myself and go to the west of the city to collect information about clown activities, so that you three can have a few days off.

But after returning to the Batcave, I found that my mind was easily immersed in Gotham's crime cases, and I could no longer maintain the absolute peaceful state of mind I had on vacation. "

The three "sons of the bat" all looked puzzled, "Focus on the matter in front of you and don't underestimate any criminal incident. Isn't that what you taught us?"

Bruce thought for a while and finally told the nightmare crisis of "Batman Blue".

Damian whistled, "How cool! Blue-skinned Batman, I really want to see it."

Jason glanced at him and said coolly: "Even the Dark Knights can't be dealt with. If you really see the fallen blue black knight, it's useless even if you shout 'Hallelujah'."

"This is not necessarily true. Last time Sister Harley was in Destiny Garden, it was not convenient for her to show up directly. If I call her for help this time, she will definitely come in person.

With her by my side, the thick-skin magic must be extremely powerful, and I can fight the blue black knight until the end of time. Damian said with a longing expression.

"If you are immersed in crime as usual, you may have nightmares again?" Dick looked at Bruce with concern and asked.

Bruce nodded, "Think about it every day and dream about it at night. This is one of the basic rules of dreams. I can't control it, but it's impossible for me to never stop paying attention to the criminal activities of Gotham villains."

"How do you plan to solve the nightmare? Simply looking for Sister Harley won't have much effect, right?" Dick asked again.

Even if Bruce didn't say it, he was sure that he must have looked for Harley.

"I'm going to Acharas, and I may not come back for a few days." Bruce said.

"Acharath." Dick was stunned and asked in surprise: "Are you going to ask for help from the goddess Asal?"

Bruce nodded, "Maybe He can help me, at least give me some useful suggestions."

Damian said excitedly: "Can I go with you? I have heard of the name of the goddess Asar for a long time, but I have never been to Acharas or seen her.

Perhaps, we can call the raven, who often talks about the care that the goddess Asal took for her in the early years. "

Jason and Dick were a little eager to try it out, too.

Goddess Asal is not very famous, but she is the real master of "Witch Harley"!

Harley herself has not specifically publicized the name of Teacher Asal, but as her fame grows, everyone pays more attention to and is more curious about her. Even every advanced civilization has an "Analysis Report of Witch Harley Think Tank".

They even analyzed how many fake matches she had played when she was a child and found relevant videos.

Not to mention the teachers who imparted her wisdom and skills.

Mortals have no access to Assar's information, but extraordinary people, especially the gods, are not ignorant of Assar.

The "Bat Family" knows more than others. Asal is only the enlightenment teacher of "Witch Harley", but he is their father's real mentor.

Batman is Asal's true descendant, and he has inherited Asal's "hidden ways."

Therefore, Asal can also be regarded as the master of Dick, Jason, and Damian.

But they had never seen their master, nor had they been to Acharas.

Even Batman rarely visits Acharath in recent years.

"You won't be able to see Goddess Asal, or even communicate with her." Bruce explained: "She has been hanging on the Origin Wall for more than thirty years, and her breath is getting weaker and weaker, and her spiritual power can hardly be transmitted.

Fortunately, Acharas is the kingdom of God in which His divine body is transformed, and there is His statue in it. If someone with a close relationship calls Him in front of the statue, He can barely communicate with the other party spiritually.

Your past will only cause His already depleted mind to wear out faster and more.

This is why Rachel talks about Him but hardly ever goes to Him.

I have also rarely gone to Acharas in recent years.

If the nightmare world wasn't really tricky, I really wouldn't want to disturb him. "

Acharath is closer to the Origin Wall than in the past, and it is also more dilapidated and lonely than in the past.

More than ten years ago, when Harley first came to Acharas, she was just an ordinary little human girl who needed to breathe and keep warm. Although Acharas is dilapidated, there are very large building ruins. Before Harry found the statue of Asal, he had to walk up a long staircase and pass through many complex buildings.

The grandeur and greatness of the past are also evident through the ruins.

Walking among the ruins, you don't have to worry about lack of oxygen or body temperature loss.

At this time, Bruce cut his wrists and spread blood. Before using the power of his blood to activate the teleportation circle, he deliberately put on the "Space Bat Suit" and put the batarang forged from the Tenth Metal in his pocket just in case.

He is right.

The ruined temple of Acharas, like a lonely boat in the ocean, has long been unable to maintain a normal ecosystem. The air has almost been lost, and the environment is worse than outer space.

"Teacher Asal, Teacher Asal"

Bruce called to the statue for more than half an hour before barely receiving a response from Goddess Asal.

"Bruce, is that you? Are you still alive?" Asal asked weakly and surprised.

Bruce was a little confused, "Did you hear anything? Who told you that I was dead?"

"No one told me that no one else has been here except you." It seemed like silence, but also like lack of strength. After saying a sentence, you need to take a breath and regain your strength.

After a full ten seconds, she said again: "What time is it now? It has been tens of thousands of years since you last came to see me, right? You can live to this day, have you become a god?"

"Tens of thousands of years?" Bruce asked in surprise: "The last time I came to see you was last year. It was October of the year before last. I told you about the 'Era of the God of War' and the 'Darkseid War.' remember?"

"It's only been two years? How do I feel?" Asal said in a sad voice: "But I feel like tens of thousands of years have passed. I am too weak, so weak that I have lost consciousness of time and my own existence, except for the boundless darkness. , coldness, nothingness and pain, I could see nothing.

Alas, fortunately you came today and we can see each other one last time.

If this trend continues, my consciousness will be completely extinguished in less than a month, and I will be like the giant stone sculpture on the origin wall, with no feelings, no thoughts, no hopes, no pain, otherwise it will be too painful. "

Bruce was very worried, his eyes were red, and he almost shed tears.

Goddess Asal was not the person closest to him, but she was the teacher who helped him the most and was the most sincere to him on his spiritual path.

Especially after being well-informed and dealing with other gods, he understood even more how rare Teacher Asal's humility, gentleness, patience, tolerance, and frankness and selflessness were.

It can be said that Asal helped him establish his first impression of the gods, and later all the gods broke this impression.

Goddess Asal probably felt the sadness in Bruce's heart, and took the initiative to ask: "Do you have anything to do with me today? Oh, by the way, tell me about your experiences in the past two years. I guess you will meet again. There were a lot of terrible crises, and Harley solved them, right?"

Bruce first told the crisis on Earth after the Darkseid War in great detail.

Whether it was what had happened or some of their conjectures, they were all told in detail.

"Ah, Goddess Hecate, I didn't expect that the multiverse-level crisis can no longer satisfy you. Now even the transcendent beings from the omnipotent universe have been attracted."

Even though Goddess Asal was prepared to hear the explosive news, she was still shocked by the Omega Titan Crisis.

"We are not dissatisfied." Bruce was a little helpless and a little embarrassed after being complained about.

"Hey, you may not be happy to see Omega Titan Crisis, but Harley must be very excited. Even the Creator was defeated by her, and this multiverse has made her bored."

Asal laughed and then hesitated: "Why hasn't Harley come to see me? Could it be that after she became famous, she forgot about me as a teacher?"

"Of course not!" Bruce said quickly and firmly.

"Then why didn't she come with you?" Asal's tone was filled with disappointment and resentment.

She hadn't seen her "most proud disciple" Harry for many years.

"She said that the next time she comes to see you, it will be when she rescues you from the Origin Wall." Bruce felt a little unsure, but his tone remained firm.

"Ah, Harley wants to save me from the origin wall?! Can she really help others escape from the origin wall?" Asal asked nervously and happily, and then immediately said excitedly: "Harley will definitely save me from the trouble. She can easily defeat the Omega Titan, how could the mere Origin Wall be able to stump her?

Bruce, go back and tell Harley to come and rescue me immediately.

I'm dying. My consciousness is about to be completely extinguished. It's too late if I don't take action now! "

Bruce has known Harley for many years and knows her very well. He knows that she must not have forgotten Asal and that she must have her own plan.

But at this time, he really couldn't bear to refuse Teacher Asal.

He was worried that if he let her down, her consciousness might be completely extinguished prematurely.

"Teacher Asal, don't worry. I will go to Harley immediately after I go back and explain your current situation to her. Whether she is ready to save you from the origin wall or not, I will bring her to see you. No matter how many times, she It will definitely help you.”

"Oh, what else did you come to see me for this time?" Asal thought thoughtfully.

Bruce told the story about the dark dream again and asked: "Can I use the art of invisibility to hide my dreams so that the dream dimension cannot record my dreams?"

"Well, your idea is very good and very creative. However, the original purpose of the art of hiding was to hide energy and breath. It cannot be said that it is completely impossible to hide dreams. You can at least try to research in this area."

Three hours later at midnight.

"Why did you come back so soon? Didn't you say you were going to stay in Acharas for several days? Goddess Asal has not solved the nightmare problem, right?"

Jason, who had completed his patrol mission for the night, was very surprised to see Bruce return to the Batcave with an expressionless face.

"There was an accident over at Acharas. You activate the Bat fighter. I want to go to Lishan immediately." Bruce said.

"Fly a fighter plane to Lishan. OK, I understand."

Jason didn't know what Bruce was anxious about, but he was sure he was really anxious.

"Harley, you have to come with me to Acharas quickly." After seeing Harley, Bruce could no longer maintain the calmness on his face, and said anxiously and directly: "Teacher Asal is gone, and you are the only one now." You can save her. If you don't save her, we may never see her or hear her voice again."

Harley was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was doing and asked, "You went to Acharas? Teacher Asar is hanging on the wall of origin. No one can hurt her. Why did she suddenly die?"

"Having the Origin Wall itself is a great harm. No one hurts her, but the Origin Wall continues to extract her origin, petrify her soul, and erase her self-awareness.

She has been hanging on the Origin Wall for 32 years!

That's the origin wall!

Look at the gods you tricked into the wall of origin back then. How many of them can still retain their consciousness today?

It is really not easy for Teacher Asal to persist until now. "

Harley frowned slightly, "She has lost consciousness now?"

Bruce nodded, his expression reproachful and worried, and said: "Tonight I went to Acharas to ask her about the method of dream seclusion. She was very angry and exhausted at that time. In order to help me study the dream seclusion, After spending a lot of energy, he finally became silent and breathless.

I called her for a long time and prayed in front of her statue for half an hour, but there was no response.

Alas, it's all my fault. I should come back to you first and wait until you rescue her from the wall of origin before studying the 'Dream Escape'. "

There was not much worry on Harley's face, she was just curious: "What is the principle of dream seclusion? Tell me about it."

"We just started talking, and we have been chatting for less than an hour, but there is no reason." After a pause, Bruce shouted anxiously: "Now is not the time to discuss the dream of seclusion, follow me to save Teacher Asal! "

Harley was silent for a while and sighed: "Now is really not the best time to save her."

"So, you can really save her from the Origin Wall?" Bruce's eyes lit up and he urged again: "You may have your own perfect plan, but Teacher Asal has no time, and now is the last step to save her. opportunity!"
