What bad intentions could Batman have?.

"Superboy-Prime is done."

In the Crucible of Worlds, Barbatos was thinking silently. He exhaled a breath of purple lightning, propped up his upper body, and concentrated on weaving the fate of the dark multiverse.

The entire dark multiverse is Barbatos's domain, and in such a place, no one can escape his shadow.

breathe……

His voice panted and played music in a rhythmic rhythm:

Breathe.

You see, fate is a sophisticated web. As long as you pull it at the key node, history can turn in the direction that Barbatos expects.

So easy.

……

……

……

breathe……

William Hand sat in his seat on the spaceship. As the matter came to an end, he was a little nervous, as it should be.

He began to breathe softly, at exactly the same pace as Barbatos's.

Bane sat quietly in his seat. He stretched out a finger and tapped his knee lightly.

At this time, they were placed in Brainiac's skeleton spaceship, and not far away, Night Owl's Earth was protected in a bottle, emitting blue light, which contrasted with the surrounding cities captured by Brainiac.

Most of the creatures in those cities have been spoiled by Brainiac to the point that they will die if they leave his spaceship. Therefore, since obtaining this spaceship, except for some creatures that have the ability to settle in other galaxies and are entrusted to the Yellow and Green Lantern Corps, Chen Tao has been keeping the other creatures in captivity.

This spaceship became Chen Tao's trophy after Brainiac was defeated by Batman, but because it was synchronized with Batman, many of the functions of the spaceship seemed too repetitive for Chen Tao, so it has not been of much use until now.

While Night Owl is dispatched to the entire universe to use the Orange Light Ring to control the four main propulsion towers (

There was silence in the spaceship. Brainiac's spaceship had good sound insulation. They were in the main cabin and there was no buzzing noise at all.

The screen in front of them was playing the confrontation between Batman and the Anti-Monitor. Until the last moment, Batman did not agree with William Hand's plan to commit suicide in exchange for the arrival of the Dark Lord, but he still arranged for them to be here - out of respect for their awareness.

Bane was so focused on the screen that he didn't notice William's situation.

"Hey, Mr. Bane." He heard William Hand say, "I've been thinking...Lucius and Batman once tried to make me a Green Lantern in an experiment, but I couldn't get the recognition of the Green Lantern ring."

He muttered, "Does this mean I don't have the will to be a hero?"

Bane answered him: "If you expect me to comfort you, you are wrong, William. Your enlightenment has nothing to do with the Green Lantern Ring. It is just a weapon, nothing more, not an identifier of willpower and courage."

On screen, Superboy-Prime is not back as usual.

Bane's heart was getting heavier and heavier. After seeing that Batman and the Justice League had been fighting the Anti-Monitor for another ten seconds and Superboy-Prime still hadn't returned, he suddenly stood up.

"William, Superboy-Prime is finished."

Bane said to William.

He turned to look at William Hand: "I'm afraid it's time, we have to..."

Then his movements froze.

He saw William Hand turn his head...

Half of that originally pretty face was now covered with a large number of insect-like limbs and dead flesh.

That is an important feature of the body being occupied by the Black of Decay. The only and most powerful controller of the Black of Decay, besides Bane and the Queen of Death Abigail Akan, is the current owner of the Black of Decay...

"Anton Arcane... it's you!" Bane took two steps back. "When did you sneak onto this spaceship, a clone with powerful strength? How could you..."

"Oh, of course. No one ever paid any attention to me."

"William Hand" spoke, and Bane knew that it was actually only Arcane who was possessed by him who was speaking.

"A gear that no one has ever paid attention to, a trap that is so ingenious."

Arcane sneered, "Since I have already made my debut on this stage, why do you think I will just quietly hide in Batman's universe and do nothing?"

"Why, Arkan? This will do you no good." Bane warned: "Batman has already prepared enough plans to delay the Anti-Monitor, but if you intervene, the Justice League and Batman will be quickly defeated, and the Anti-Monitor will most likely catch up with our escaped universe. If the Anti-Monitor swallows up the universe, do you think you can still stay out of it..."

Before he could finish his words, a huge green vine whip made of the green of all things came towards Arcaian from behind, but Arcaian controlled it. William Hand's half of his body was already deformed, and he grabbed the giant vine whip with one hand.

"It's a brand new world, isn't it? It's the universe of Night Owl, where the natural forces are far less clearly divided into master and slave like the natural forces in our world. The Green of All Things in this world is an unattended pan-consciousness, without the Tree Council and the May Queen. (Note: The Tree Council is the consciousness of the trees, the May Queen represents the vines, and Poison Ivy is its spokesperson.) Therefore, in this universe, you can call on more Green of All Things without scruples."

Arcane said, "But unfortunately... the Black of Decay in this universe also does not have the Decay Council, so... you see, the increase is proportional."

As William Hand's still normal half of his face let out a heart-wrenching scream, a large number of insect limbs grew on the deformed half of his body, covered with foul-smelling mucus.

Before the huge green vine could grow more branches to bind William, the limbs took a step ahead of him and fiercely inserted into the vine, then corroded the vibrant green into foul-smelling gray.

The vine fell from the wall of the spaceship, and a large number of festering limbs grew in its place. In an instant, it turned into a stinking centipede-like creature with hundreds of pairs of legs, surrounding the already corroded William.

"Someone gave you an order... Someone is helping you do all this." Bane's brain worked quickly. He was extremely intelligent. If he had not always focused his energy on scientific research, Bane might have become a scientist like Luther.

Arkain's abnormal behavior and the easy invasion of the spaceship made him think a lot, but it was obvious that Arkain would not help him solve the puzzle.

"This is all fate. The dark multiverse has no escape from this fate, right?" he said.

A drop of sweat appeared on Bane's face under his hood.

He still has the ability to fight with Akain, but this fight is meaningless.

Batman and the Justice League simply do not have the ability to confront the Anti-Monitor head-on. Even though Batman is possessed by three great Lanterns, he can still unleash the power of a parallel universe Batman that exceeds his original synchronization limit even if he loses the energy of all humans on Earth. However, two of them are forcibly tied to himself by him, and he cannot exert his full strength.

He left Arkain and the Blood Bull in his own universe and did not bring them here this time. Batman said he had to plan for the future, and the Blood Bull and Atrocitus, who could control the lamp beast, must become trump cards that Luthor could manipulate. But Bane knew very well that Batman realized as well as he did that in such a situation, even if the Blood Bull was tied up like Parallax and Ion Shark, it would not have much effect.

Batman's plan is to use Superboy-Prime to attract the attention of the Anti-Monitor. Once Superboy-Prime fails, Batman will take out the Black Lantern Ring and turn himself into the carrier of the Dark Lord. The plan that follows is a desperate fight.

But Bane and William had already decided that Batman could not be the carrier of the Dark Lord. One reason was that he could not exert his full power, and the other reason was...

"Batman is bigger than any of us."

Bane said, "William, you have to wake up, William."

"Damn it, open your eyes. I taught you that. I taught you to fight against that control. That damn fear that comes from the bottom of your heart, I want you to overcome it!"

He dodged the attack that Arcane controlled William to launch at him. Fortunately, they were in the main cabin of Brainiac's skeleton ship instead of the collection room. Otherwise, once the city in Brainiac's collection was destroyed by the aftermath of the attack, all the creatures in it would die without a burial place.

There are specific steps to release the shrunken cities from the bottles. Simply breaking them will only lead to death. Bane has immediately sealed the exhibition hall and activated the protection program to ensure that the earth is safe.

And he would trap Arkan here and kill him.

Wild beast hairs grew on his body. His hands turned into beast claws and then expanded rapidly. His huge claws pressed the centipede that had transformed from the giant vine to the ground. A large number of plants grew wildly on the ground and drilled into the centipede's body.

"William! Wake up!"

His cry was deafening, like the cry of a dying Alfred to his Bruce in the universe of the Batman Who Laughs.

No, Bruce, don't let that thing control you... I know you can...

Then he saw that his little Bruce seemed to have escaped the control of the Joker virus, and he thought...

The Laughing Bat took advantage of this and defeated him.

"William, I need your help!"

The voice sounded like the Flash Barry Allen shouting at Batman in the Red Death's universe.

Bruce, let me help you. You are controlled by that thought. Changing the past will inevitably lead to doom...

"Wake up, wake up! Batman needs your help, the world needs your help!"

useless.

This is the fate that Barbatos weaves. He always creates a slip at the critical moment.

The huge, multi-legged centipede broke free from Bane's restraints, and one green vine after another was broken. The huge centipede hugged Bane from behind.

Hundreds of limbs, some human arms, some insect limbs, and some dead beast limbs, hugged Bane's body. The centipede opened its ferocious mouthparts, and Bane had to grow deformed metal arms from behind to resist.

He also has Batman's metal spirit in his body.

Anton Akai originally planned to go into battle himself and completely kill Bane, who was at a disadvantage, but then he felt the eyelids of William's body move, so he had to let Bane go.

"Right, William. You are actually afraid of death in your heart."

William Hand's half of the face, the half that was completely controlled by Anton Akan, whispered softly:

"You don't want to sacrifice at all, right? Batman has already prepared a black lantern ring, what can you sacrifice? Aren't you just looking for death?"

"But this man in front of me." He pointed at Bane and said, "He brainwashed you with honor, kidnapped you with morality, and led you into this place of death.

Think from your heart, William. Did you decide to come to this world because you wanted to, or was it the result of your dearest teacher Bain's induction? "
