Knights of DC

Chapter 1071 Reign of Supermen: Revenge

Finally, all the complicated work is over, the second half of the year will be relaxed, and it will be over quickly!

Desire In Gotham City, Ke Wen is like an outsider walking through the streets of the city, watching the inner desires of Gotham citizens reflected in this city.

As seen before, a new city was established, bringing new order and new rules, but these Gotham citizens who survived the big event and lived in the newborn Gotham City did not Get used to this kind of life.

Or they just passively abide by the rules of the new Gotham City, whether it is law enforcement, justice or administration.After the newcomers supported by the Wayne Group came to power, even if they wanted to make rules like those powerful and powerful, but as the benefactor behind them, the Wayne Group would not agree, at least Batman would not agree, and Batman is basically in the Wayne Group It is the boss, plus there is Fox who has the same goals as him, basically cut off the thoughts of these newcomers.

They are forced to abide by the rules, and citizens are also forced to abide by the new rules they make.

It is precisely because of this that they began to miss the era when Batman appeared at night every day. Although Batman is still the greatest fear in their hearts, under this fear, they can do things according to their own ideas. Freedom, as long as it's not too outrageous, Batman doesn't bother to find them.

And it's this morbid nostalgia for Batman that breeds a morbid desire to fantasize about how great it would be if they were Batman.It is these desires that were used by the Wayne couple to build a Gotham under desires and imprison Batman here.In other words, Batman is imprisoned by the desires of the citizens of Gotham, by the city he has dedicated, and even could have given his life to.

It has to be said that this is a kind of irony. What he tried his best to protect, in the end betrayed him and made him sink into it.

But Ke Wen also knows that this phenomenon is temporary, and humans are highly adaptable creatures. The current citizens of Gotham are not used to this kind of orderly life, but as time goes by, themselves, they The next generation, their grandchildren, will also begin to get used to life in the nascent Gotham City.It can even be said that I like or fall in love with this kind of life, not the kind of freedom to do whatever I want.

To borrow a sentence from the Great Emperor, it would be heartless not to miss the old Gotham, and it would be mindless to return to the old Gotham.

So Ke Wen was only emotional at the beginning, but later relieved.

But those are things in the future. What Ke Wen has to do now is to solve the current situation, how to find Batman in this Gotham City of desire.Similarly, he was also curious about how the Wayne couple who came from the flashpoint timeline did it, whether it was the Laughing Bat who helped them behind the scenes, or another existence he didn't know, or themselves, It will take a certain amount of time to build a whole Gotham City of Desire like this, even for Ke Wen.

Yes, for Ke Wen, it is not difficult to reproduce Desire Gotham City.The Kamen Rider OOO possessed by him has this ability. It is nothing more than to visualize the desires in people's hearts, and then combine them together. The power of a knight itself is one body with two sides, good and bad, all from the heart.

And just when Ke Wen, and his son from the future of the two branches, followed the clown to find the whereabouts of Batman in this Gotham of Desire, a big change was also unfolding in the outside world.

Ke Wen, Ke Xue, Conan, and the clown don't know that in Gotham City, which is formed by the deep desires of Gotham citizens, the flow of time here is not synchronized with the outside world. What's more troublesome is that this kind of time The out-of-sync stream also affects their perception, making them think that they just spent a few days in this Gotham of Desire, but in the outside world, a month has passed without a sound.

This month was the most tormenting for Dick who came to Ke Wen after discovering that the Waynes and his wife were abnormal.

Because Ke Wen went to Gotham City to investigate because he came to inform the Waynes of the abnormality of the Wayne couple. It turned out that he only met Thomas Wayne in the Batcave and left after talking for a while. A month of no audio.This situation made Dick want to directly inform other people, including Clark, to investigate the Wayne couple together several times, but when he thought that Batman, who is very likely to be missing now, had Ke Wen in his hands, Dick couldn't help it. Not holding back, he kept staring at the Wayne couple.

And to guide Ke Wen into this desire Gotham city created by them with the help of Gotham's hearts, the Wayne couple didn't care about Dick who had become suspicious of him. Thomas Wayne was still playing his own role, as Alfred. The good friend in Red's eyes, the good grandpa in the eyes of Damian and other juniors, and the clown Martha who left only one puppet did not show any flaws, and let everything go on normally.

It's just that while Dick is worried about Ke Wen's disappearance, other people's lives are going on as usual.

As I said before, after successfully running for the presidency, Clark also relied on the popularity he had accumulated as Superman, plus the support of the two major capitals of Lex Group and Wayne Enterprises, and implemented various new policies in the country. Of course, the previous domineering style has also been changed internationally, and various strategic deterrence has begun to be transformed into strategic cooperation, although internally there are still many old-fashioned factions who are blocking or protesting Clark's various policies.

But in front of Clark's huge voter base, as well as the financial resources and connections of the two major capitals, their opposition voices are also extremely weak. At least in front of Clark, who is in the limelight at this time, they can only keep their mouths shut. Willing to give up their own interests, or be forced to join.But as long as they join, with Clark's high-quality brain in exchange for giving up superhuman powers, he has a hundred ways to make them a member of his group.

Die-hards persist, Compromises join in, others do their part to help those in need, and Cyborg continues to track Cyborg and Leticia Luthor .In such a daily life, when Ke Wen went to the White House to talk with Clark a month ago, Clark and Lex signed the climate regulation satellite that was specially prepared for the establishment of diplomatic relations between land humans and submarine humans——International Free Trade Island is also ready.

On this day, Clark put on his formal attire early, entered the presidential car together with Louise, who had been promoted to first lady, and Jonathan, who became the eldest son, and went to the satellite launch base under the escort of the convoy.

Similarly, on the day of Clark's trip, another team also came from the other side of the ocean in a special plane, escorted by Kong Kenan and others from the Ministry of Self-improvement.

Because this international free trade island itself is led by the two strongest countries representing land humans, East and West, and then Clark talked with the sea king of Atlantis, who represents sea humans, and was witnessed by everyone and the sea royal family. built up.

And now to launch an exclusive climate regulation satellite for this island, which represents the cooperation between the two branches of mankind, all the leaders of the three parties will be present.

Fortunately, under the DC world view, all countries have a bit of a black technology foundation, and they are no worse than here in terms of black technology. A mere transoceanic flight is not a tiring ride. Take a nap on the plane quietly. The many black-tech special planes of the Ministry of Self-improvement will send the leaders in charge of this satellite launch to the satellite launch base without any wind or waves.

Not to mention there are several super rookies like Kong Kenan escorting him. Even if Clark regains his superhuman strength, he can't say that he can break through this blockade 100%.

Kong Kenan and their special plane were safe and sound, and were heading towards their destination.On Clark's side, when Clark took his wife and children in the presidential car to the satellite launch base, the Justice League International, which Clark advocated and was currently forming, included several semi-retired members of the former Justice League. Including the veterans, Ke Wen and the younger generation are also escorting along the way.

They all know that this is the most public travel for Clark in this period of time. From here to the satellite launch base, there are so many pedestrians coming and going in the urban area. Once Mechanical Superman and Leticia Luthor are hiding in it The sudden attack, the Clark family is definitely fine, but these innocent pedestrians involved will definitely make this satellite launch a joke.

For this reason, the semi-retired Flash and Wally the Flash boy, who is slowly taking over the mantle of the Flash, have been shuttling through the crowd with incredible speed and strength. Observe every pedestrian to see if any suspicious characters appear.

In the air, Kara, Wonder Woman, Wonder Girl and other members of the flying ability also maintain a synchronized speed with the presidential car below, ready to deal with possible incidents at any time.

Martian Manhunter and Martian Girl are there to use the telepathic ability together to detect whether there are any abnormalities in the brain waves of pedestrians in the places they pass by. .

"To be honest, this seems to be the first time that all our members have assembled in a non-combat state, isn't it a bit too exaggerated." He grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth, and Wally joked there too.

"When something really happens, you'll know you're not exaggerating. Be serious!" Giving Wally a slap on the head, took a handful of popcorn from Wally's mouth, took out a banknote and put it in the vendor's hand, Lightning Xia also corrected there.

"No way, not counting our side. At that time, there will be a self-improvement department there, which can be said to be the guardian of the two most powerful superhero organizations in the East and the West. If his mechanical superman can still cause trouble, I will kill him on the spot." Eat this cart!!" Wally said disdainfully when the Flash took the banknotes from his pocket to pay.

"Then you're settled. Think about it, it's not like the mechanical superman in the universe hasn't done bigger things than this in the past, so he likes to give himself extra meals?"

Hearing this, Wally was also taken aback, because he thought that in the old universe, the mechanical superman had indeed done more fierce things than this, such as directly paralyzing the entire network of Apocalypse, using the network of Apocalypse to communicate with Dak Seid is tough.Thinking of this, Wally ran even harder. He didn't really want to eat the stall, mainly because he didn't have the conditions.

It can be said that except for Cowen and Batman who are temporarily missing, Shazam who is far away from Campbell, and Zatanna who has not returned home to visit relatives, the rest of the people who are protecting Clark's presidential car overtly and secretly Gathered here, just to escort Clark.

Of course, not all of them, such as Damian who was watching the live broadcast with Thomas Wayne in the Wayne Manor in Gotham City at this time.Originally, he also wanted to participate in the escort of Clark's special car, but before he left, he saw Thomas Wayne in the study alone looking at himself and Martha taking a photo with Bruce when he was a child. The figure of a person was so lonely , Damian also stayed and stayed with his grandfather.

"Aren't you going to follow them? Helena has followed." Touching Damian's head, Thomas Wayne was like a kind elder, caring for Damian there.

"If I go there, grandpa, you will be lonely. What's more, I will definitely fight with that guy in the past, so let's forget it." Thinking of the appearance of little Jonathan entangled with his sister every time, Damian also felt very sad. His face was upset, but he was helpless.

Because if there is no accident, the marriage between little Jonathan and Helena can be said to be a royal order, unless the two of them hate each other.Otherwise, there is no chance. This kind of imperial appointment can be said to be accidental or inevitable. As the two families with the best partners in the world, Clark and Bruce are also very happy to see such a situation happen, and will try to promote it.

The so-called freedom of marriage and love sometimes depends on the situation. Like this kind of childhood sweetheart, they are all high-quality men, not to mention that little Jonathan is the first generation of purebred Kryptonian mixed with the earth, and there are so many Weird adventures, it is really difficult to make Helena look at other boys with admiration, or even be interested.

Just like in Lan Fatty, why Shizuka likes Nobita and is just a friend to another De Mushan who is fully developed in morality, intelligence and physique.

Nobita, the abbreviation is Nobi Nobita, and his full name is Nobi, the friend of the Maya Sun King, the founding master, the savior of dinosaurs, the king of the heavenly world, the emperor of the sea, and Nobita.I will take you Shizuka to witness the sea of ​​stars, the long river of time and space, if you disagree with each other, can you do this when you come out of Mushan?Just like this, I will stick to you Shizuka forever. The same situation applies to little Jonathan and Helena. Under such innate conditions, it is difficult for the two of them to think about it.

It was also because of this that Damian decided to stay out of sight, lest he would have to fight with little Jonathan when he went there.

"If I'm lonely, Alfred will accompany me," Thomas Wayne naturally knew what Damian was thinking, and while comforting Damian, he also said that he was retreating.

"So you and grandma were with Alfred when father was not at home?"

"Eh...that's not true, we'll just wait at home for Bruce to come back, or pick him up."

"Then I'll stay with you and wait for my father to come back here, or find my father and pick him up."

"Damian, you are really a good boy."

Listening to Thomas Wayne's praise to him, Damian, who has slowly changed his awkward personality, just turned his head, looked at the private car of President Clark on the screen, and smiled there.And Thomas Wayne didn't seem to see it, he looked at Damian sitting on his lap with a cloudy expression.

While the outside world was waiting for the meeting of the leaders of the three parties to witness the launch of the exclusive international free trade island and the exclusive climate regulation satellite, in this Gotham city of desire built by the hearts of Gotham citizens, Ke Wen has broken another illusion .

Looking at the desire environment in front of him where he substituted himself into the birth of Batman, Ke Wen couldn't help but sigh.His time perception has also become dull due to the influence of Desire Gotham. Although unlike Conan on the other side, Ke Xue and the others thought it was only a few days, but Ke Wen knows that more than half a month must have passed by the outside world.But looking at this desire Gotham made up of human hearts, Ke Wen also felt dizzy.

Only now did he finally understand why people said that Batman was the only monster created in Gotham City.

Since he entered this Gotham of Desire, all his experiences have become magical. Deep in the hearts of these Gotham citizens, they miss the old Gotham under the inspection of Batman all the time. Substituting themselves into the role of Batman, none of them know who Batman's true identity is, but they are using their own way to substitute themselves into it, and what will it be like to substitute themselves with various tragedies? case, become a Batman.

This Gotham of Desire, built by people's hearts, is also following the disorder of the old Gotham, with robberies, shootings, and theft happening everywhere.Then, in these cases, the protagonists became Batman after being tortured, or became Batman because they couldn't understand the chaos, but they didn't always stick to the bottom line of not killing like Batman. The person he hates the most in his subconscious will kill him time and time again.

Ke Wen, on the other hand, relied on his unique ability to destroy this reverie time and time again.Because Ke Wen knows very well that this repeated torture is rooted deep in the hearts of these people, and it is staged over and over again, until a certain moment, when a scene like these desires deep in their hearts happens in reality, they also become The person he became after entering this illusion of desire completely collapsed.

The person who announced this desire for Gotham had no intention of letting Batman come out from the very beginning. Not only that, he also planned to make Batman watch the Gotham citizens living in the new Gotham City degenerate and go completely crazy.But these are only potential factors, and a fuse is needed to fully complete his plan.

"It's really ruthless, I don't understand, I see you, aren't you happy to see your son grow up, why, finally came to this correct timeline, and also saw me in the right timeline I have not forgotten the entrustment you have given me for the efforts I have made, but you are so impatient to use this method to destroy everything your son guards and insists on? Or are you not them at all? Can you answer me?"

Ke Wen looked at the illusion of the case where he was substituting himself into the tragedy one after another, and he was also talking to himself there. With Ke Wen's words, the illusion around him also collapsed, turning into silver cell coins Inhaling Ke Wen's hand of desire that turned into Greed, after the last sentence, Ke Wen stretched forward fiercely, and tore it hard at the void in front of him.

Everything in front of him was like a curtain, torn apart by Ke Wen's sharp claws.And the clown freak transformed by Martha the clown just stood there, with a clown smiling face looking straight at Ke Wen, as if he was not surprised that Ke Wen could easily find where he was.

"Huh? The same breath as me? You are the third clown? No, not you, you are the Greed that pure desire twisted the cell coin and transformed it into a core coin. It really opened my eyes Yeah, so it's you, Martha."

In the end, Ke Wen also understood the reason, why when he met and talked with Thomas Wayne, he could feel the dangerous breath from Thomas Wayne, and also understood why such a desire appeared in Gotham , if this extremely powerful and distorted desire comes from the obsession of Thomas Wayne and Martha the Clown, then it is indeed possible.

In the movie version of the 40th anniversary of Kamen Rider, Shuka can also create a core coin monster representing the concept of Shuka by virtue of a cell coin dropped by Ankh.Although I don’t know what’s going on in the DC world, Batman and the Joker can definitely rank in the top three in terms of strength and distortion of will, but Ke Wen doesn’t understand where the Wayne couple got the desire cell coins, the third clown Under the intervention of the will of the universe, what was given to them by the power of the same birth?

No, the third clown can't do this yet, or he won't specifically give birth to a completely distorted weirdo, even if he can, it should be himself.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you are smarter than I thought, but how did I become what I am now? It doesn't seem to be the focus of your investigation. Isn't your mission here to find my precious son?"

"If you really want to look for it here, wouldn't it suit you? It keeps me stuck here for a longer time. Compared with this, I want to know how you became what you are now. Someone must be influencing you. I know existence, or those visitors from the dark multiverse.”

"You'll know if you catch me? Then I don't mind playing hide-and-seek with you, provided that you know how to find it."

Speaking of which, the space that was originally torn apart by Ke Wen also has a healing trend. In this city constructed by the inner desires of Gotham citizens, Martha the Clown can be said to have endless energy.

"Finding is not my specialty, but it doesn't have to be me to find Batman. Don't focus on me alone. In addition, this is your home field, and it is also my home field!"

Regarding Martha the clown's attempt to hide his trace again, Ke Wen just raised his hand of desire, and the space in front of him that was trying to repair also began to decompose into desire cell coins, flying towards Ke Wen's hand , absorbed by it.

And the clown Martha, who seemed to be thinking of something, also felt something was wrong, and she didn't want to continue to entangle with Ke Wen, but in the next second, the space between her and Ke Wen was completely broken, and she stepped into a deeper level, and the scale was smaller. The old Ke Wen also transformed into his Kamen Rider 000 (Oates) exclusive final combination form of gods and demons at the speed of light at the first time, and caught the core coin monster transformed by the clown Martha, and the two also moved towards a deeper relationship. Layers of Desire Gotham Fall.

Just when Ke Wen took the monster transformed by the clown Martha and fell into the deeper layer of Desire Gotham, Conan and Ke Xue also noticed the third clown who was still trapped on the first floor. The change.

In front of them are also the illusions of Batman transformed by Gotham citizens substituting themselves into the tragedy. Conan and Ke Xue have no feelings. The idea, only the third clown, will be sad every time after breaking the illusion, even when seeing these people start to fall after imagining themselves as Batman, from the excitement at the beginning, to anger, to numbness , and then to the present senselessness.

Conan and Ke Xue didn't understand how the third clown in front of them had so many mental journeys. They just instinctively felt that the superficial desire Gotham they were in before them seemed to have become unreal.

"Is it my illusion? I always feel that this place has become unreal just now," Ke Xue looked at the sky above his head and asked in doubt.

"It's not an illusion, it's true, it's just that we don't know the reason. Compared with this, let's think about how to deal with this guy in front of us now. He seems to be neurotic. No, he is already neurotic, so his condition has worsened. ?”

Regarding his brother's doubts, Ke Xue also had an expression of helplessness, and he was not good at psychiatry.It's just that when Conan and Ke Xue guessed that the clown's suspected illness was getting worse, the clown who was still numb just now suddenly became excited, watching the surface of Gotham, which had become illusory because of Ke Wen and the clown Martha, was also there. Laugh out loud.

"Oh, oh, as expected of you, you found the key point so quickly, so you know I'm here, right? Also, after all, we have fought against each other as old enemies before."

"Old enemy? You mean our father is here too?!" When the clown mentioned the old enemy, Conan and Ke Xue also suddenly became alert, and subconsciously wanted to cover their faces with something.

And the clown laughed out loud looking at the two brothers' thieves-like expressions, "Don't be so nervous, he doesn't have time to play father-son recognition drama with you now, we have more important things to do."

"Have you found where Batman is?"

"I have to thank your father, but now you should follow Uncle Jock to find my Bat Boy."

A gray dimension wall rises again in front of the clown. Without thinking too much, Conan and Ke Xue also plunge into it, followed by the clown, and the three of them enter the deeper world again.

Returning to the outside world, under the escort of the semi-retired Justice League veteran and the new generation, Clark’s special car also came to the satellite launch center, and Kong Kenan and other leaders of the Ministry of Self-improvement, as the representative of ocean humans, Atlanta The Neptune of Sri Lanka has been waiting here for a long time.Familiar people also nodded when they met, and Clark was also escorted by two Kryptonian bodyguards, Zod and Fiora, to the booth. The leaders of the three parties also officially met.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lex Luthor, who designed the satellite, also gave a speech there, and then passed the launch order to Clark.

Getting up, Clark also gave a short speech, and then said to the staff on the launch pad through the microphone: "Launch!"

In the distance, the rocket carrying the climate control satellite was ignited, propelled by the orange flame, and flew towards space in front of the cameras of the crowd and the media. For a while, the people who followed the satellite launch were also in front of the screen Cheers, because with the launch of this climate-regulating satellite, it also represents the first steps that Earth humans have taken to mastering the weather, which should be a good thing.

While watching the satellite launch in the dark and in the bright, vigilant about the surroundings, including the Space Self-improvement Department and the Justice League, until the moment the rocket entered the atmosphere, they did not see the attack of the mechanical superman, even in other cities. The sudden incident, such calm, also let them breathe a sigh of relief.It's just that the calmer he was at this time, the more serious Lex Luthor looked on Clark who was watching all this on the booth.

Because it's not in Cyborg's style, he can't and shouldn't just watch it happen.

"No, no, no, there must be something wrong..." Seeing the flames slowly disappearing in his eyes, Clark also muttered.

"What's the matter Clark, is there something wrong with this satellite?"

On the side, the Neptune sitting there and the leader escorted by the Ministry of Self-improvement also heard Clark's chanting, and wondered there.

"No, this satellite was designed by me and your team together. There is no possibility of problems. After that, it will dock with my previous satellite in space, and then become an enlightenment to illuminate the international free trade island. star···"

Halfway through the speech, Lex also seemed to understand something, and suddenly his face changed drastically, and he looked at Clark.

In Gotham City's Wayne Manor, Damian watched the rocket gradually rising into the sky on TV, and immediately realized something was wrong. He was also talking there like Clark and Lex at the scene, but he was bigger than the two of them. A quicker thought of the reason.

He jumped off Thomas Wayne's lap at once, ran to the telephone station beside him, and dialed Jonathan's private number directly.

At the venue, Jonathan Jr., who was guarding the surrounding area, also received a call from Damian immediately. He was confused and quickly connected, wondering if Damian had anything to ask him.

"Hello, Damian?"

"Quickly ask your father to stop the satellite launch! Mechanical Superman must be waiting for this satellite to come up in space. He wants to control this satellite and completely destroy that international free trade island!!"

Damian's voice is very loud, even if the hands-free is not turned on, besides the leader who is an ordinary person, Clark is also a super-enhanced person with his own Kryptonian physique, so naturally he heard it immediately. Damian sent the message, but when Damian passed the message, it was too late.

In space, the mechanical superman who has been parasitic on the Lex Group satellite and Leticia Luthor, who was also transformed, immediately blocked the remote control on the ground through the extended mechanical tentacles, and directly connected the two satellites.Immediately, the launched satellite also deployed its solar charging panels. Before the satellite could draw energy from the sun, the mechanical superman also took out the mother box that had been prepared and placed it on the satellite.

Responding to the will of the mechanical superman, the mother box transformed the climate regulation satellite in front of him at the fastest speed beyond recognition. Under the control of the mechanical superman, it was also locked in the direction already, symbolizing the countries inside the earth, the humans on land and the seabed. The international free trade island which symbolizes the confluence of human beings emits a beam of light.

The dazzling light beam pierced the atmosphere, landed in front of the crowd and the media's cameras, and directly enveloped the sky above the International Free Trade Island, forming a completely wrapped shield.

And on the international free trade island in the shield, the people and things on this island at this moment were also pressed the still button at this moment, and they were completely frozen, even the air.

The long-planned action and the sudden attack made everyone present unable to react.They thought that the mechanical superman would deploy defenses for the purpose of destroying the satellite launch ceremony, but they did not expect that the mechanical superman had been waiting for this moment. He would use the satellite launched by Clark and the others to destroy what Clark and the others were doing to change this cycle. All our efforts start from this international free trade island in front of us!
In this sudden change, the figure of the mechanical superman also appeared above the satellite launch base through projection. Looking at Clark who was angry because of being calculated at this time, the mechanical superman also smiled triumphantly.

"Did you not expect me to do this, Superman? As I said, I will destroy everything you guard and create. Don't you want to create a new future? I really want to know, give up the idea of ​​Superman now. With your identity and this power, do you have the ability to stop me from destroying the international free trade island that you have finally established through lobbying.

During your tenure, an island plus the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives and nearly trillions of losses, this is really a bad political event, this is my revenge for you.Of course, you can also try to stop me, stop my family, you know where I will be, let’s see how you behave, hahaha! "

Amid the triumphant laughter of the mechanical superman, the projection slowly dissipated, and the expressions of everyone in the venue were cloudy and uncertain.
