Chapter 221: My Name Is Barbatos!

Black Kryptonite!

The moment that name appeared, countless Supermen across the various DC worlds felt their breathing stop, overcome by an incomparably intense sense of fear and unease!

In their eyes, that thing was like a black hole, as if it could devour the soul itself!

And that was only through the screen!!

They simply could not imagine what the Superman in the footage was feeling right now!

At the same time, what was even more terrifying was that this thing had not formed naturally at all. It was something Batman had actually managed to make.

That really was not scientific in the slightest!

"Clark, do you know how good I've been to you?"

The Batman Who Laughs held up the Black Kryptonite and said with a grin,

"I put a great deal of thought into this thing. For that, I even used your cousin as a test subject first."

Superman was instantly shocked and enraged.

"Y-You... what did you do to her!?"

A terrible premonition had already risen in his heart.

The Batman Who Laughs stroked his chin and pretended to think carefully.

"Let me think..."

"Mm, she was too fragile. After only two seconds, she personally tore her family apart, and then her body couldn't endure it and collapsed."

As he spoke, he suddenly laughed again and said in a tone as though cheering him on,

"But if it's you, Clark..."

"I'm sure you can hold out for a few more seconds!"

"Do your best!"

As his words fell, he crushed the Black Kryptonite. In an instant, it shot out like a black ray of light!

Superman's face filled with horror, yet he was powerless and unable to resist in the slightest.

His expression stiffened, and his scarlet eyes rapidly turned pitch-black.

Then he slowly turned his head and looked at his wife and child with a chilling gaze!

He had been corrupted. He had not even lasted three seconds.

A horrifying smile appeared on Superman's face. He grabbed his wife's head tightly, completely ignoring his child's screams.

Bang!

In the next second, his beloved's head exploded!

A mist of blood spread out, and brain matter splattered everywhere!

And the scream turned into shrill laughter.

Superman fell to the ground, while his child had already transformed into a little Joker, personally digging out his heart before madly chewing on it!

Crunch, crunch... The sound of chewing was horrifyingly clear.

The blood sticking around his mouth gradually formed a terrifying smile as well.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

The Batman Who Laughs kept applauding, his eyes filled with incomparable satisfaction.

The father was corrupted and killed his wife, while the child killed his father!

Hahaha, what a splendid comedy this is!

A comedy?

It was more terrifying than the most horrifying horror movie!

At this moment, almost no one outside the screen could laugh. Instead, what they felt was deep terror.

Inside the House of Mystery, Constantine sucked in a cold breath.

Damn it!

If anyone ever said again that he never did anything human, he would absolutely fight them to the death!

Compared to the Batman Who Laughs, he was practically a harmless Teletubby!

And not just any Teletubby—the fourth one at that!

As he spoke, he wiped the dense layer of cold sweat from his forehead and let out a long breath.

To be honest, even Trigon from Hell was someone he wouldn't care much about... not that he had ever actually run into him.

But this Batman Who Laughs—just watching him through the screen alone was enough to make every hair on his body stand on end, filling him with chilling dread and fear!

He was practically like one of those evil gods fabricated in certain church myths—something that should not even exist!

With the death of the Justice League's final hero, the last hope of that world vanished as well.

This time, there was no one left who could stop the Batman Who Laughs.

From this day onward, morality and humanity were completely slain, and only madness continued to breed.

Not long afterward, the world beneath his feet turned into a heap of ashes. The sky began to tremble, and everything was destroyed!

The ending of every world within the Dark Multiverse was self-destruction and total collapse.

But only this Earth -22 had already perished at the hands of the Batman Who Laughs before its self-destruction.

In the end, all that remained was the Batman Who Laughs, seated upon a terrifying throne made from dried corpses, chains in his hand leading one laughing child after another as he gazed into the void.

On the beach, Bruce revealed a grave expression.

The other party clearly could not travel across universes on his own. There was obviously something else going on!

This was not the end, but the beginning!

He was waiting.

"Could it be that I have no further room left to fall?"

The Batman Who Laughs gazed into the void, and for the first time, the smile disappeared from his face.

But at that moment, a voice suddenly came from the darkness.

"Of course you do... Bruce Wayne..."

Suddenly, space began to tremble, as though some colossal existence were trying to pierce through the barrier of the world and enter.

Crack!

As that shattering sound rang out, an unimaginably massive pressure descended. Endless darkness appeared out of nothing in the void, eroding all space!

But barely a second later, everything suddenly fell still again.

And standing before the Batman Who Laughs was an existence dozens of meters tall, draped in a tattered cloak, with no way to see what lay beneath it!

Hueco Mundo!

The surface of Aizen's body burst apart instantly, spraying countless streams of blood, while a crack even appeared in his Eyes of Truth!

He stared at the figure on the screen in utter disbelief!

The very moment those Eyes of Truth had sensed it, they had already perceived an unimaginable crisis and decisively shut themselves.

But even so, merely sensing that aura for an instant had left him gravely wounded, to the point that he had nearly died!

Even Doctor Manhattan was constantly restraining his own power!

Yet the existence before them was simply far too outrageous!

Below him, the Espada trembled like cicadas in winter.

The pride they had once possessed had long since vanished!

And at this moment, they lowered their heads, not daring to look.

At Lux Nightclub, Lucifer could no longer maintain his calm posture. His eyes were fixed firmly on the screen!

Damn it!

Just how many things had the old man never told him!?

How could there be something like this hidden within the Dark Multiverse!?

Although he could sense that the other party was not stronger than himself, within that dark aura was a primal force—

Destruction!

At this moment, he could see it completely clearly!

The self-destruction of the Dark Multiverse was partly due to its instability, yes, but those worlds that had been utterly annihilated were destroyed by the thing before them!

On the beach, all four of them felt their hearts pound wildly, while cold sweat instantly drenched their clothes!

Although it had only flashed by for an instant, that aura just now had almost shattered everyone's minds!

At this moment, even Bruce could not help cursing inwardly.

Fuck!

What the hell was that thing!?

"Who are you?"

The Batman Who Laughs asked excitedly.

In the next second, a deafening roar came from the shadows beneath the cloak:

"My name is Barbatos!"
