Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

"Don't waver, Lucas," Batman said.

He felt sad seeing the look on Lucas's face.

"I'm glad you came here and stopped me."

If possible, Batman doesn't want Lucas to be the one who kills him, but the only one who can stand in front of him is Lucas.

His eyes traced the outline of Lucas. The little child who was once in the petri dish has grown up.

"I...Bruce, I'm glad to see you too." Lucas looked at Batman complicatedly and tightened his grip on the gun in his hand again.

In this final showdown, it is indeed a good thing to see the normal Batman.

The person in front of me may be the last normal humanity in the Laughing Bat. From the enemy's point of view, it is easy to solve if he does not resist.

What's more... thinking of his companions fighting bloody battles outside, Lucas knew he couldn't be soft-hearted here.

But before taking action, Lucas had one last question.

"Bruce, can you tell me where Damian is?"

Lucas knew that Damian was not dead, but his brother was hidden in the dark universe by the Laughing Bat. Of course he would not give up looking for Damian, but if he could directly tell him where he was, then of course he would. Everyone is happy.

"Damian..." Batman's eyes were full of guilt and pain.

What makes Batman most desperate is that he himself killed his favorite relatives and friends over and over again, and destroyed the city he loved so much, so he could only stand here, numbly looking at the city he once protected.

"He is in a dream." Batman said, "If it were you, you would definitely be able to find him."

"A dream...I understand." Lucas took a deep breath.

Lucas, seeking answers, knew this was the end.

"Have sweet dreams, Bruce."

After he finished speaking, there was a gunshot.

"Bah"

In an instant, the sky broke out, and Batman fell backwards, his figure gradually dissipated, and the clown's body on the ground also disintegrated.

Lucas stretched out his hand in silence, his fingertips no longer feeling the falling raindrops.

"...Ah, the sky is sunny."

With the death of the owner of the dream, this dream is rapidly collapsing, but Lucas does not leave immediately.

Hope said hesitantly, "I don't think that Batman has no possibility of repentance..."

"Yes, he can indeed repent." Lucas sighed, "But it is too cruel for him."

Let me ask, how will Batman face this after he wakes up? Faced with the blood on his hands, even the world he wants to protect has been shattered.

Lucas knew that even if the original Batman came back, there would only be one thing he would do, and that would be suicide.

In the past, Lucas would prevent repentant villains from committing suicide, but only the Laughing Bat would not. His evil deeds are countless, and those who need to make amends are no longer in the world, and Lucas and Damian, who are also victims... …

He doesn't need it, and neither does Damian, and Batman knows that.

"Hope, can you do me one last favor?" Lucas asked.

"Huh? Of course, as long as it's Lucas, it's totally fine!"

Lucas smiled softly, "...thank you."

……

Did we win?

Everyone stared blankly at the laughing bat that suddenly froze and then suddenly exploded.

There was silence for a moment.

"we won?"

Finally someone said tremblingly.

This sound broke the dead silence, and everyone began to cheer.

"we won!"

"We defeated the gods!"

"Finally won!"

……

"We won..." Tim looked at the broken Laughing Bat in the distance, but a trace of confusion appeared on his face, "But where are the Lucas people?"

The win was a win, but one less person shared the victory, which made Tim feel uneasy.

Jason had the same feeling as Tim. He was closer to the Laughing Bat, but when the Laughing Bat exploded, he did not see Lucas in the escaping energy.

"Hey! Have you ever seen a child that tall fall from the sky?" Jason casually grabbed an Asgardian warrior next to him and asked.

"Huh? What are you talking about in the middle court?" Asgard looked puzzled.

"Just tell me whether you saw it or not!" Jason's tone suddenly became excited.

Not appropriate! The Laughing Bat is obviously dead! If Lucas didn't succeed, then how could...

Jason's pupils shrank.

That kid can't do it!

Everyone in the Phantom Thieves also noticed something was wrong.

"Where's Lucas?"

"Come closer and take a look." Tim said solemnly, taking the lead in running towards the center of the battle.

Batman immediately looked for Lucas, but Batman looked at the sky, "Superman."

The big blue man heard Batman's cry, and Superman, who was originally rubbing shoulders with a group of Asgardian warriors, quickly flew to Batman's side.

"How's Lucas?" Batman asked.

"Huh? Lucas?" Superman looked confused.

Batman frowned and said sternly, "He is also your son, can't you be more considerate?"

"No, no, you misunderstood me!" Superman waved his hands in panic.

Although it is true that Superman has never raised children, and Connor is closer to Martha on weekdays, he is not willing to bear the blame.

"Lucas has been missing since he entered the Laughing Bat." Superman sighed.

These words made the pressure on Batman become even lower. Doesn't this mean...

"No, are you lying?"

Tim, who received news from multiple sources, was in disbelief.

"What's wrong, Tim?" Peter looked at Tim, "No news from Lucas?"

"Yes, yes...but..."

Seeing everyone's excited and expectant eyes, Tim opened his mouth but stopped talking.

Seeing something from Tim's expression, the excitement on Harry's face gradually faded, "Tim, tell us the truth, what happened to Lucas?"

"Lucas... didn't come out from there..."

"what?"

"This...how could this happen..."

"impossible!"

Mindy stepped forward and grabbed Tim's clothes, "But didn't we win? Lucas will be fine!"

"I don't know." Tim said helplessly.

"why is it like this……"

The joy of victory was diluted by the news that Lucas was alive and dead. Everyone who knew Lucas was worried about his safety.

"Huh? Why do everyone look so ugly?" Hope suddenly appeared, flapping her wings.

"Hope!" Gwen said in surprise.

"You were with Lucas before, right? Is he okay?" Gwen asked a series of questions.

"Lucas is okay." Hope didn't understand why everyone was so anxious.

"What about...the others?" Tim couldn't help but ask.

"Lucas said he was going to find his brother and asked me to come and make sure you are safe." Hope naturally stopped on Tim's shoulder.

"That's it." Tim breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Hope, the replaced memory finally clear.

"Why did it suddenly turn into a bird again?" Tim asked.

"Ah..." Hope blinked, "I'm not a real human being. If I act like that again, I'm not deceiving myself."

"No one will care."

Looking at Tim's side face, Hope felt slightly relaxed. With this sense of familiarity, that boy must be Tim. What a fate.

"Hahaha, I have adapted to this look. Let's wait and see when I am ready." Hope said.

After sharing the information brought by Hope with other people who cared about Lucas, they were finally able to celebrate their victory at this moment.

Barbatos and his Dark Knights have brought a lot of suffering and separation to the main universe, which will take time to appease.

After everyone ended the nearly month-long mourning ceremony, they discovered that Lucas still had not returned.

"Hope, do you think Lucas is really okay?" Tim couldn't help it.

"Uh...well..." Hope showed a troubled expression.

"Hey, what do you mean by hesitating?" Jason frowned and said, "Can you give me an accurate answer?"

"Actually, I don't know either!" Hope took out the tray with abandonment.

"Huh?" Jason said in disbelief, "You don't know what it means?"

Hope's identity is no longer a secret. The X metal, which represents many possibilities in the world, is so powerful that it can change the mind and memory. How can such Hope not sense Lucas' whereabouts?

"What I said is true!" Hope said anxiously, "X metal is not omnipotent, right! Before Lucas left, he told me not to worry, he would definitely bring Damian back."

"Huh? Damian in that world didn't die?" Tim was a little surprised.

"Lucas was sure of it, and that weird Batman was sure of it."

After entering the inner world of the Laughing Bat, Hope and Lucas had the same perspective. After returning, everyone asked Hope to explain everything that happened there.

After hearing that Lucas personally killed the normal Batman in the Laughing Bat, everyone fell silent.

"Well done." Jason was the first to praise Lucas for what he did. "If we don't kill that Batman, the Laughing Bat probably won't die either, and more of us will die."

"Although that was my father, he is no longer my father." Damian said.

"This can be considered a relief for him." Tim sighed.

"Oh...thank you Lucas." Dick said.

Finally all eyes were on Bruce.

"Huh? You don't think I will blame Lucas, right?" Bruce said helplessly.

He sighed and expressed his opinion, "I know myself, I'm afraid it's the one who opens his mouth first and lets Lucas kill him."

With Hope's do-you-know expression on her face, Bruce continued, "I definitely can't accept what I did, and had no choice but to let the only person who could stand in front of me understand me. "

"Ah...it's exactly the same as what Lucas said." Hope couldn't help but said.

"It's normal for people of the same position to resemble each other," Tim said.

But the top priority now is to find Lucas, who is missing.

Due to the numerous casualties, holidays were held everywhere. Knowing that Lucas had not come back, everyone in the Phantom Thieves was invited by Tim and came to Wayne Manor.

"After such a long time, nothing will happen to Lucas, right?" Peter said nervously.

"Bah, you don't want a crow's mouth!" Mindy said quickly.

"We have to find Lucas. The Phantom Thieves will not give up any of their companions!" Gwen clenched her fists.

Raven said, "I'll do anything."

Harry couldn't help but look at the tall man leaning against the wall with his peripheral vision.

"I'm Jason Todd, Xiaohong's brother." Jason took the initiative to introduce himself.

"Ah, you are the new persona user." Harry reacted immediately.

"The response is very fast." Jason crossed his chest, "But the focus now is not on me, but on finding Lucas."

"Is there nothing Hope can do?" Mindy looked at Hope.

"Well..." Hope tilted her head in embarrassment, "I can indeed vaguely confirm that Lucas is fine, but where exactly is he..."

"Is there any vague positioning?" Tim asked.

"I only know that he should be in a dream."

"Dream?"

"Don't worry, you can treat it as a palace." Hope said soothingly.

"The palace..." Tim murmured, his eyes suddenly lit up, he took out his mobile phone and opened the Different World APP.

"Lucas Easton...um...Wayne Manor...home..."

"Wait a minute, Tim, aren't there people who repent of evildoers? Will they really happen?" Before Peter could finish speaking, he was slapped in the face by the voice of the APP from another world.

[Destination confirmed, start navigation. ]

"Eh?!!"

Everyone's eyes were dazzled. The Wayne Manor in front of them had not changed, but they knew that they had entered Lucas' palace.

"Does a Persona user actually have a palace? And it's Lucas." Peter was a little doubtful about life.

"Good job, Red." Jason said.

He didn't know much about the affairs of the other world, so he didn't interfere much.

The clothes on everyone's body did not turn into battle clothes. This was natural. How could Lucas regard them as enemies?

"So where will Lucas be?"

"We just have to find it," Tim said.

Wayne Manor was still familiar to him and Jason. If others looked for it on their own, they might get lost in the twisted corridors and rooms.

"No, just go to the Batcave." Jason said.

He raised the corners of his lips and said confidently, "I have a hunch that Lucas will be there."

"Bat Cave!" Peter's eyes suddenly lit up, "Gu...can you actually go to the Bat Cave!"

"If you like it, it's not impossible in reality." Tim smiled slightly.

Everyone in the Phantom Thieves is a trustworthy person, so there is nothing wrong with entering the Batcave.

"Really?!" Peter's eyes widened, but he still remembered their mission, "We'll talk about it later. We'll find Lucas back first. It's not good to be without him all the time."

Although it is called a palace, everywhere everyone goes is the same as in reality. This shows that there is nothing twisted in Lucas's heart, but why is this place called the palace?

"This problem will be understood when we find Lucas." Hope said.

When they stepped into the Batcave, everyone was stunned by the huge petri dish in the center. In the green nutrient solution, the black-haired boy was sleeping quietly, holding another black-haired boy in his arms.

The two of them closed their eyes tightly, as if they were in a dream.

"Lucas and Damian..." Tim took a step forward.

This step seemed to disturb something. The eyelashes of the young man in the petri dish trembled slightly, and then he slowly opened his golden eyes.

Lucas looked helplessly at everyone who found this place, and the green nutrient solution slowly dropped according to his thoughts.

"I didn't expect you to find me so quickly."

"How long are you going to stay here if I don't come to you?" Tim glanced at Damian, who was sleeping peacefully.

"It might take a long time," Lucas said uncertainly.

He hugged Damian tightly, "I finally found Damian. He has been completely mechanically transformed. He can only communicate through the chip on the back of his head. His self-awareness has almost completely disappeared. He only has a little instinct towards me." reaction, I think as long as I stay with him, Damian will be able to recover sooner or later."

"Are you stupid?" Jason couldn't help but stretched out his hand and flicked it to Lucas' forehead, "This method is too inefficient! It's better to bring it back and let's work out a solution together!"

"But...Damian will be ostracized..."

"What Damian?" Jason raised his eyebrows, "I only know that Damian, that devil kid, is still in the real world and furious. Isn't the one in your arms called Archipald?"

"Ah..." Lucas looked at everyone blankly.

"Yeah, yeah, come back with us, Lucas."

"Let's help you find a solution, and your family will be cured!"

Lucas lowered his head, raised the corners of his mouth, and raised his eyes, blue eyes as clear as the sky.

"Ok!"

He stepped out of the petri dish with Damian in his arms, and the palace disappeared.

The reality is sunny and the future is still very long.
