Chapter 203: Welcome to the Green Lantern Corps!

Outside the screen, countless viewers stared in horror!

The laughter that seemed to emerge from the depths of darkness and chaos made their scalps go numb and their souls tremble!

Some of the more timid viewers even screamed and burst into tears despite being separated from it by a screen!

"What the hell are those things!?"

Inside the room, Strange, who had been pretending to be mentally impaired, shuddered and cried out, completely losing control of his expression!

Wong, whom the Ancient One had sent to "care for" the patient, nodded firmly in agreement.

He did not even notice that his patient had suddenly recovered.

He only felt as though he were staring directly into darkness itself!

Those seven humanoid creatures were terrifying!

Seaside Villa!

Tony drew a deep breath, unable to conceal the horror in his eyes!

This was the first time a video had displayed something so frightening from the very beginning!

A monster covered from head to toe in bone spikes!

An ominous shadow wearing armor and wrapped in lightning!

A dripping figure resembling the ghost of someone who had drowned!

But the one who disturbed Tony the most was the pale-faced man wearing crimson lipstick and leading a group of sinister-looking children!

He resembled a human more than any of the others.

Yet at the same time, he seemed the least human of them all!

Looking at him felt like staring into a mass of madness and darkness!

On a sofa not far away...

Even Deadpool, who planned to exploit the fact that Tony had blown his head off once to freeload for the rest of his life, sucked air through his teeth.

"Fuck. The darkest thing in any world really is the old Bat!"

"Good thing I never went to DC looking for my cousin!"

Naruto World!

Countless shinobi felt chills run down their spines as cold sweat poured across their faces!

Although Doctor Manhattan was the most powerful existence revealed so far, he was fundamentally lawful and benevolent!

But these beings were completely different!

They had been shocked by Doctor Manhattan's strength, but they had not felt this kind of instinctive terror!

Even the Tailed Beasts, who were regarded as incarnations of evil, appeared no different from ants before these creatures!

Hidden somewhere within the Shinobi World...

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki felt as though he could no longer breathe!

Even his eye could not perceive anything from them.

It felt as though it might shatter merely from trying!

DCEU World!

Apokolips!

Steppenwolf had returned and already begun gathering an army of Parademons, but Darkseid now wore a grave expression!

He did not care about this so-called Dark Knights group!

The power possessed by those individuals was not enough to make him feel threatened!

What concerned him was something else entirely!

Through his eyes, which contained the Omega Effect, he saw an enormous bat-like shadow standing behind them!

From that entity, he sensed an aura of "destruction" unlike anything he had ever encountered!

Compared to it, the scent carried by Steppenwolf after conquering tens of thousands of worlds was not even one hundred-millionth as intense!

There was no doubt!

What that being had destroyed was not merely planets, but...

Universes!

And certainly more than one!

Earth, Justice Society Headquarters!

The spacecraft constructed from Nth Metal had yet to be completed.

Hawkman was currently staying at an ancient manor in London.

It was Doctor Fate's home and served as the Justice Society's temporary headquarters.

"Kent, do you know where these beings came from?"

The white-haired old man beside him removed his helmet and shook his head. Despite his age, there was no trace of frailty in him.

"I'm sorry."

"All I can see is darkness."

"Them?"

"No."

"Us."

On the beach.

Arthur, who had been lying down, abruptly sat upright. His normally carefree face was now filled with anxiety.

He instinctively swallowed and cautiously turned toward Bruce.

"Bruce, those people look like they're all..."

"Batman."

Bruce's expression was as dark as water as he directly finished Arthur's sentence!

The instant the figures appeared, he had recognized every one of them as another version of himself!

But why were they so consumed by darkness!?

Even more alarming was their apparent leader.

That Batman resembled the Joker and seemed to possess no extraordinary power whatsoever, yet Bruce felt a faint trace of fear merely looking at him!

Gotham!

The Joker stared blankly at the screen for a moment before bursting into maniacal laughter!

At that moment, he experienced an unprecedented level of joy!

He was even happier than he would have been if he had become the protagonist of the video and performed before countless worlds!

"Bruce... Bruce..."

"Hahahahaha!"

"As expected, I am you!"

"And you are me!"

"Hahahaha!"

Gotham City Police Department.

Commissioner Gordon's heart sank!

He recognized the bat symbols.

Combined with the title, there was no doubt that all of them were Batman!

But how could the most righteous and unwavering man Gordon knew possibly fall into darkness!?

This had to be some kind of illusion!

Perhaps Bruce had been forced to submit to darkness temporarily, only to carry out a decisive counterattack at the very end!

That had to be the truth!

There could be no other possibility!

At that moment, the scene finally began moving.

Dark Multiverse—Earth Negative Thirty-Two!

Gotham!

It was still that same dark alley and that same night of despair that could never be forgotten!

After leaving the movie theater, Thomas and Martha Wayne lay in pools of blood.

But the robber beside them did not flee in panic!

Holding his gun, he looked at the terrified young Bruce with a vicious smile.

"I'm finished here, kid!"

"Now close your damn eyes and beg for mercy, and I might let you live!"

Having fallen from heaven into hell, Bruce watched his parents' blood flow into the dark and foul-smelling sewer.

He knelt on the ground with his head lowered, feeling utterly powerless.

At the beach.

Clark knew this was not the Bruce beside him, but he suspected the two of them had been no different at that moment.

He comforted him:

"It's normal for a child to be afraid in a situation like that."

"Surrendering would also have been the sensible choice."

But after he spoke, Bruce shook his head and replied meaningfully:

"No."

"He didn't surrender."

Clark immediately looked confused.

The murderer gave him a satisfied glance before turning around and fleeing.

But the instant the man turned his back, Bruce raised his head once again!

Tears streamed from his eyes as he stared at the fleeing figure.

His gaze contained grief, fury, and overwhelming hatred!

But there was not even the slightest trace of fear!

He had lowered his head and fallen to his knees only because he was looking sorrowfully at his parents!

Outside the screen, Bruce seemed to sense Clark's astonished gaze and said heavily:

"Back then... I couldn't do that."

"My heart was filled with fear."

The moment he said this, Clark, Barry, and the others returned their attention to the screen with even greater focus!

At that moment, a streak of green light crossed the distant sky like a meteor and arrived before Bruce almost instantly!

It was a ring radiating brilliant green light!

In the next moment, a majestic voice rang out:

"Sentient life-form identified."

"Bruce Wayne of Earth, you possess the powerful will to overcome great fear."

"Welcome to the Green Lantern Corps!"
