Chapter 2239: Battle of the Twin Cities! (70)_1

Inside the palace of Apocalypse Star's Darkseid, the supreme ruler of Apocalypse Star, Emperor Darkseid deeply furrowed his brows, repeatedly pressing the communicator button and listening to a message transmitted from the far reaches of the cosmos.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty the Emperor, this is Tivorens, your faithful subordinate... I don't know where I am, it's all darkness here, frightening, terrifying..."

"I saw four gigantic entities...they are hidden deep in the cosmos... they are plotting something... Your Majesty the Emperor... they want to invade! They want to invade the cosmos!"

"He spotted me! He's looking this way! Your Majesty the Emperor, you must... Ahhhhhhh!"

The scream abruptly ended and Darkseid's expression became increasingly grave. At the end of the recording, there was a special sound wave that was difficult to detect, sounding like some sort of whisper, but even Darkseid's most intelligent commander, Desaad, couldn't understand the language.

The sound wave was sent for decryption, but what Darkseid was pondering was the other information. From the recording sent back by Tivorens, it could be known that he fell into a certain darkness and saw four evildoers hidden in there, who were plotting to invade the cosmos.

There are too many things in this world that want to invade the cosmos, and most of them are alarmist, Darkseid has never been fond of worrying about unfounded threats, but that he would sit here and seriously consider this matter could only indicate that he had already made his decision.

This dates back to when the three Batmen invaded Apocalypse Star initially. Not delving into the process of their confrontations, the most baffling of all was the ability to completely alter the climate and atmosphere of Apocalypse Star.

As previously stated, Apocalypse Star is essentially Darkseid's divine realm, not a real planet, but a complete dimension, comparable to Asgard. However, Darkseid's authority in Apocalypse Star is much higher than Odin's.

Within the boundaries of Apocalypse Star, Darkseid is an omnipotent god, nothing can supersede him. However, the day a dark atmosphere descended, it abruptly shattered Darkseid's authority, which made Darkseid feel a great sense of crisis.

Since then, he has been studying the remaining image data incessantly, and even found the energy leftover on the original architecture.

Darkseid is not human, and his perspective of viewing the world is different from most three-dimensional creatures, and what he could discern is that this dark energy does not belong to this universe.

In layman's terms, although Darkseid is not a system administrator, when his authority over a file is higher than anything else, he could glimpse the true nature of the system and know which bytes should not show up in his folder.

This range should not have occurred not only within the dimension of Apocalypse Star but also throughout the cosmos. Thus, this is energy from beyond the cosmos, and if it appeared here, it would mean that some existence from beyond the cosmos transferred it over using some method.

The only suspect would be Batman.

At that time, when Apocalypse came upon the convergence of the three bats, Darkseid felt a baffling discomfort, as if he couldn't wield his strength, as if punching on cotton. Now, it looked like it was entirely due to the interference caused by Batman's dark energy.

For the dimension of Apocalypse Star, this dark energy is like a redundant file. Although it couldn't damage the system, if there's too much of it, it would surely occupy operating memory and slow down calculation speed, something which Darkseid won't allow.

During the process of purging the residual dark energy, Darkseid discovered that it shouldn't be some natural phenomenon, but a program meticulously woven and constructed by an intelligent life.

This is too suspicious, Batman was full of this energy. Could it be that he was the envoy of some evil god?

Although Darkseid disliked the three bats breaking in recklessly to his home, and coveted the half-life equation in the hands of Primary Universe Batman, the wisdom not inferior to Batman made him understand that Batman would not submit to an evil god.

So there was only one possibility left, Batman was used by some evil god, but he didn't know about it.

Darkseid indeed wanted the equation from Primary Universe Batman, but the reason he sought Batman this time was to inform Batman that he might be trapped in a conspiracy woven by an evil god over many years.

It wasn't out of kindness. Darkseid, undisputed to be the number one emperor of the cosmos, partially grasped the uniqueness of Batman. He knew that if Batman lost control, it would be bad for the entire cosmos, and in addition, the dark energy was also troublesome for him, and it could create problems if it spread throughout the cosmos.

So the reason he dispatched an army to look for Batman this time was to discuss cooperation with him. It's not even about inviting him over, but to give him a special communicator for a secret conversation.

The reason why it's so troublesome is that Darkseid was still at war with the Green Lantern Corps, and members of the Justice League were also involved. Darkseid knew that if he wanted to warn Batman, he couldn't let his two righteous partners know, or else they may suspect Batman of having unseemly associations with Apocalypse Star.

If the evil god comes, there would be conflicts among comrades, and Batman would completely fall under the control of the evil god, that would lead to trouble.
