Chapter 568: 3. Self-help

"Om"
After being repaired, the altar in the dark was activated again. Driven by enough monster souls, this thing began to try to tear open the space again, but after running briefly for more than ten seconds, the dark red energy above the altar Suddenly, it calmed down again.
Professor Hawkins and Dr. Essen looked a little dull, but they still brought their assistants forward to collect the test data.
"Failed again..."
Batman looked at the scene in front of him. Under the black mask, there was a trace of undisguised disappointment in his eyes. Beside him, Saber in a windbreaker leaned on a long knife with a sheath and also sighed:
"It seems that the space in this world has been impregnated with something we don't know. It can't break the space with the previous method. It's damn."
"There will always be a way."
Batman clenched his fists, Shen Sheng said: "We will not be trapped here and wait to die..."
It seems to be comforting Cyber, but it is more like cheering himself up. Obviously, after 27 days of trying, after harvesting many failures, even Batman felt a trace of despair.
The whole city was thrown into the Devil’s rift as a whole, the city’s security range was shrinking every day, and the monsters of the Devil were planning a counterattack every day. Although the urban order had not collapsed under the temporary power of the Devil Gang, but to be honest, accompanied It is only a matter of time before the hope of getting out of trouble is getting smaller and smaller and a full collapse.
"The city's supplies have been counted."
Cyber ​​sat in a chair, stroking the handle of the knife, and whispered: "According to the current consumption rate, it will last for up to six months...I plan to send someone to clear the black market today."
"This will make the city unstable..."
Batman thought for a moment, and replied: "The existence of the black market has the effect of stabilizing people's hearts, which we discussed at the time."
"But I did not allow them to buy and sell survival supplies in private!"
There was a trace of indifference in Cyber's voice: "I gave them enough ammunition to arm, and I let them drive those who eat and die, the purpose is to make every part of the city use the right way! Instead of letting They took the opportunity to encroach on more people...Swan told me that those prisoners used materials to attract women to do abnormal transactions. At this time, I can’t wait for children to pick up guns. How can this be allowed to happen!"
"They must transfer all the living materials in their hands to the devil's help, so that at least the city can last longer... Speaking of it, do you really not care about the guys who are recruiting and buying horses under your name? ?"
Cyber ​​raised his head and looked at Batman with a smile on his lips:
"Bats will...hehe, they can really name it."
"Forget it, the current city needs these forces, and they are doing well in the east of the city."
Batman took off his mask with some fatigue. He leaned on the chair and said like a dream: "If in my name can really make more ordinary people become warriors enough to protect themselves, then let them go, just Just a name."
The conversation between the two ends here, the next time is a silence. As the nominal city leader, the pressure on the two people is very heavy. Cyber ​​needs to find a way to live for his brothers and relatives. He can be selfish. Abandon the city, but Batman can't.
This man dedicated everything to Gotham, and he couldn't allow himself to protect the city like that...destroy.
"The clown has collected enough monster bodies... to replace the mortal body to resurrect those dead souls."
Cyber ​​lit a cigar. In today's city, this is already a rare enjoyment. He threw it to Batman. The latter lit it silently. He also needs to release pressure. He listened silently to Cyber. Tells, it was a cruel action:
"I don't know if ordinary people can accept their resurrection in another form, but in the current form, we need more people to regain control of the city!"
Cyber's fingers were tapping on the table, and a glimmer of light flashed in his narrowed eyes:
"I want to turn Gotham into a magic floating city completely. The demonic mages under Sim have this knowledge. For this, we have to actively cut off the weathered buildings outside the city and turn it into the original volume. Two-thirds, and according to the calculations of the demon masters, if this project is to be completed within one month, we need at least 200W people to act together, plus the soldiers who resist the invasion of monsters, based on the current population, I need to revive the Joker at least 60W people!"
"It will be a cruel process, and it reminds me of the stories of the Middle Ages."
Batman was silent for a few minutes before speaking: "But if it is to save more lives, I am willing to do so!"
"Okay, don't calm your face."
Cyber ​​breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is actually not a bad thing. Bruce, resurrected with a monster body. Those ordinary people have better physical fitness than human bodies, and their bodies will not be different from other humans, as long as they can Re-accepted by the order, there will be no mess, and this, you need to adjust, my people will cooperate with you."
"and many more"
Bruce Wayne knocked on the table, he looked at Cyber: "Why me?"
"Because...I am going to find another way."
Cyber ​​smoking a cigarette, he said in a lonely tone:
"Now this road does not work. I suspect that the universe cube on the other side has blocked the space. I have to find a way to go back and release it. I don’t know how long this process will take, but after I leave, this one The city can only be given to you. Oliver's character is not suitable for managing the city, including my loved ones, my brothers, I can only ask you."
"What are you going to do?"
Bruce asked quietly, "You already have a way?"
"Yep."
Cyber ​​nodded:
"Sim told me that when the wind of the void blows through the city at a fixed time every day, the space barrier will be weakened. Only a few minutes, I can be called back to by that time, and then from and It’s difficult to find a way back to this world, the prince of won’t allow me to pass easily, especially after I killed Lucifer’s human avatar and helped Gu Yi imprison Mephisto, Every devil and demon in the world will try to kill me."
He moved his fist and fingers, and took a purple shining reagent bottle from his arms and placed it in front of Bruce:
"I'm not even sure that I can safely reach this world, but I can't let Catherine and Selena survive in this hell. I must go this way and kill every creature that is in front of me. This news must Be blocked, and after I leave, you need enough power to continue to control the city!"
"Inject it! Bruce, I know you don’t want to be a monster, and you don’t want to trade with demons, but to control cities that are destined to be more and more dangerous...you must have stronger power!"
Cyber's tone clanged: "98% concentration of the desperate virus, it will make you an undead Batman, with your Fenrir armor, before I find a way, you are the king of Gotham!"
"You must also become the king of Gotham!"
He looked at Bruce Wayne, and he said quietly:
"It is a cruel destiny before you. I don’t want to ask you which of your bottom line and your people is more important. I won’t force you to make decisions with sounding words, Wayne. If you don’t, I will let Catherine take over all this, but what the girl will do, I can't imagine, I trust you more than her, at least, you have seen the darkest people in the world, and you know how to deal with them ."
"In this city, you... are the most suitable."
"I..."
Bruce stood up, he walked to the window, he was smoking a cigar, like a silent shadow in the darkness, he was thinking.
Cyber’s suggestion undoubtedly challenges his bottom line, but this is not the same as the previous Ninja Master’s coercion. Doing the same thing in the name of justice and in the life of evil is two for the existence of Batman. A completely different concept. Although he is very clear, Cyber's conversation this time is completely true, without any hypocrisy, but it is still a difficult decision.
Under this difficult decision, Cyber ​​was not in a hurry. He gave Bruce enough time to think. Until ten minutes later, Batman turned around and he looked at Cyber:
"Are you really willing to give everything for this city? Even if it is dead?"
"No, I don't want to!"
Cyber ​​replied without hesitation: "If possible, I will abandon Gotham without hesitation and take my brothers and loved ones away, but now that I have been trapped in it, I have to do it, it's that simple, If you think I’m sacrificing for this city, just go with you. Also, beware of the clown, this guy’s recent actions I don’t understand...he said he was caught by the shadow warriors very early, I don’t believe it !He must be planning something."
"But no matter what, you made a sacrifice, the reason is not important."
He came over, put on his mask, and then reached out to hold the purple potion in his hand. He looked at Cyber, took a deep breath, and said:
"The contract? Bring it!"
"what?"
Cyber ​​looked at Bruce suspiciously, and the latter snorted: "The kind of contract that the devil uses, you are right. In the face of this bad situation, I need strength."
He looked at Cyber, his eyes widened, and he shook his head:
"If even a villain is willing to sacrifice everything to save the city, then I have no reason to refuse to make the same sacrifice. This is your city, but this is also... my city, if I don’t fight for it, Who is it?"
A smile flashed in his eyes:
"Don't tell me, you plan to give me a terrible demon assistant..."
"Hahahaha!"
Cyberhaha stood up with a smile. He took out a crystal clear, fist-sized soul stone suspended like a spiked heart from his sandal wood fan, just holding it in the air. Hearing the mad roar of the soul's anger and unyielding is simply shocking.
"I’ve already prepared it for you...the soul of the king of the dragon, the hegemon of the sky in hell, the poisonous wings with shadows and death, come on, take your crown, the son of God’s destiny, and it Sign a contract..."
In the pale light of the soul stone in his hands, the bad smile on Cyber's face showed no doubt that he said softly:
"Then become... the Bat Demon who ruled Gotham!"
Batman took a deep breath. He looked at the soul stone suspended in the air. He held out his hand and held it in his hand. His voice surged in the darkness, like a nightmare:
"So... please let me be king!"

Three days later, somewhere in hell, above the dusty ground, an abrupt storm rolled up and rolled up the heavy rust-colored dust on the ground, revealing the grim land covered with pale broken bones The space is shaking, as if a giant beast wants to tear open the space and come to this eternal ominous place.
The black lightning fell from the sky, tearing everything off the ground, just like the end of the world in hell, farther away, the lord of the fierce warlord Sim, occupying a large territory on the edge of hell, commanded his most The elite demon army is waiting quietly on the white bone mountain farther away. Even if it is, it is not willing to enter this chaotic land.
To tell the truth, can Cyber ​​survive the fissure storm of the two worlds? No one may have his self-healing ability, and in the face of the sharpest spatial rift, it is difficult to say whether he can survive it.
Sim is also playing drums in the heart. In the event that Cyber ​​hiccups, he will also be martyred. He can't help but look back at his powerful army.
"Ah... this is my territory and warrior..."
The voice did not fall, an embarrassed figure was thrown out of the space crack, and the whole body was cut a terrible wound by a sharp space crack all over his body. His left arm and legs were missing, and his body was burned. The scar, but fortunately, he stood up and began to regenerate quickly when he smashed the ground that had been completely destroyed.
The venom lying on his shoulders grunted twice, quickly covering his body, and reorganized a style of Cyber's favorite black trench coat and casual suit.
As he got up, Sim slapped his wings and landed in front of his eyes, flying the rust-colored dust off the ground. The dragon lowered his head humbly and said to Cyber:
"Welcome to your other kingdom... Cyber, is waiting for you to conquer!"
Faced with this domineering invitation, Cyber ​​tapped the dust on his body, carried the Teng Gu sword's scabbard in his left hand, looked around, and snorted:
"No, no time! I'm busy!"
