Chapter 127 The Fire Is Almost Extinguished
As Batman piloted the helicopter back, he mentally prepared a long list of purchases to implement his backup plans.
He had to get all of this done before Doomsday razed Metropolis and everything in Gotham to the ground, and before the Wayne family could still operate with enough resources.
Just as he was making his calculations, the door of the helicopter flying high in the sky was pulled open from the outside.
Joey, carrying Diana in his arms, flew straight in against the wind pressure of the propellers and placed the unconscious Diana inside the aircraft cabin.
Batman noticed what the other person was carrying: the Helmet of Destiny.
Superman succeeded.
"Get ready to turn off the engine."
Before Bruce could offer his congratulations, Joey, clutching the Helmet of Destiny, uttered these words and flew out of the cabin again.
As all the monitors on the cockpit dashboard began to beep and alarm, Batman knew why they wanted him to shut down the engine.
The helicopter was flying forward at an abnormally high speed, as if Superman was holding it up from below.
Batman had just turned off the engine and taken his hands off the control stick when, in a flash, he realized that the three of them had already arrived at Wayne Manor, the place where it all began.
Batman, who was about to get up to pick up the injured Wonder Woman, was stopped by Joey:
"She still has excessive radiation residue in her body, let me do it."
Without the lead-plated Batsuit to protect him, the residual radiation was enough to cause illness for a mortal like Batman.
Joey didn't want two more patients suddenly appearing in the Justice League's watchtower.
Bruce glanced at the golden Helmet of Destiny in Joey's hand.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he seemed to see a pair of huge black wings sweeping across the mirror-like smooth surface.
Like a bat spreading its wings and taking flight.
Joey patted the helmet in his hand and said:
"Find Martha and get her to put everything back to normal."
The Helmet of Destiny began to gleam with golden light, and it began to convey new information to Joey.
It can restore everything to its original state, but some remnants of this distorted reality will continue to exist in the original world.
Tonight, Joey heard no good news from the Helm of Fate.
Including its inability to heal Diana's injuries, this ancient creation from Earth clashed with Naboo's power.
And some even worse news, such as the fact that the world is indeed on the verge of collapse.
Thinking Joey was referring to Batman, he reached out to take the helmet.
I'm going to find her. ::
However, the helmet spontaneously floated up and headed towards downtown Gotham City.
"Bruce!"
Watching the helmet disappear, a somewhat bewildered Batman was embraced by Catwoman who had rushed over:
"You worried me to death!"
"I'm so sorry, Selena."
Batman removed Catwoman's hands from his body:
"I am not him, and all of this is about to end."
Catwoman sighed, lost in thought: "Will that other Bruce, my one, ever come back?"
"....I have no idea."
After a long silence, Batman lied without batting an eye.
This is a distorted reality, an abnormal history.
Another playboy, Bruce Wayne, never existed in the first place.
"I see it now. There is a heaviness and vicissitude in your eyes that the other young master never had. I can't imagine how much suffering you have endured."
Alfred, who was standing nearby, also rushed over. He was so busy with the dinner party that night that he didn't notice Bruce's unusual behavior immediately.
"In any case, may you rest in peace, young Master Wayne in the other world."
"Thank you, Alfredo..."

Before Batman could even utter a word of thanks, the butler, who had devoted his entire life to the Wayne family and was now showing signs of aging, vanished like a phantom.
Batman returned to the bustling circus tent.
"Holy crap, this is amazing! They even have Batman in the show!"
The atmosphere at the scene was completely ignited by the sudden appearance of Batman to save the day, and the audience's loud cheers almost lifted the roof off the tent.
This was a few hours earlier, when Batman saved the Dick Grayson family.
He not only returned to normal reality, but he also returned a few minutes early.
After confirming that no one in the Grayson family was injured, Batman connected to the Justice League's channel. Before he could speak, he heard Superman's anxious shouts:
"Scythe, we have wounded soldiers and need to be teleported!"
"Teleportation...Unable...Error...Logout..."
Communication signals from the watchtower headquarters were intermittent until Steelbone temporarily switched the communication channel to a non-dedicated civilian channel, relying on the Internet:
"All systems, large and small, within the watchtower experienced timer malfunctions, paralyzing the entire system! This should never have happened!"
Cyborg couldn't understand what he was seeing within the system; the central processing unit in the Justice League's Watchtower, which was supposed to be able to accurately calculate and observe the aftershocks of the universe's destruction, had malfunctioned.
The timer inside suddenly shifted back several hours, causing all other related subsystems to malfunction due to this error of a few hours, triggering a chain reaction.
"The central core isn't the problem; the problem lies with this world. Several hours of time have been stolen from the entire solar system."
The sound of something cutting through the air could be heard over the communication line; it was the sound of Superman's cape taking off.
"Batman, deal with your family—she doesn't seem so crazy anymore."
Joey also discovered that the Helm of Fate had restored reality to its original state, even a few minutes earlier.
With the magic gone, Yang Yi could now see the entire circus from afar.
Inside the tent where you encountered Martha and old Thomas, Martha the clown, her face covered in white pastel paint, sat slumped in a pool of blood, holding a sharp knife, looking dazed and confused.
Old Thomas, clutching the pistol in his arms, stood firmly in place, unlike a few minutes earlier when he had rushed in without hesitation.
Seeing that the two had no intention of fighting to the death, Joey, whose teleportation was blocked, picked up Wonder Woman, who was still unconscious from the high dose of radiation, and flew towards the watchtower.
Fortunately, the Amazons were physically strong enough that the radiation dose that would kill an ordinary person dozens of times was not fatal to Diana.
At this moment, a tug-of-war is unfolding within her body between the Amazons' powerful self-healing ability and the collapse of her cells and tissues due to nuclear radiation.
At this moment, Joey desperately needed the medical equipment in the watchtower to help stabilize her injuries.
This time, the Helmet of Destiny did not allow Martha to wear it; instead, it soared into the sky, flying alongside Joey.
Joey felt something stirring restlessly in his chest, so he opened his uniform and let it fly out on its own.
It was the tarot card that the blonde Kara had given to me back then.
Although no one told him where it came from, Joey was somehow convinced that the card came from Lady Shangdu.
At this moment, the tarot card image begins to change again, from "The Fool" to the fleeting "The Lovers".
Then it quickly changed again, settling on a card that signified extreme danger.
A bolt of lightning struck the spire, causing it to catch fire and collapse, with people falling from the top.
Whether the "Tower" is in its forward or reverse position, it is a more dangerous and serious omen than "death".
Adversity, suffering, deception, destruction—this card particularly represents unforeseen disasters.
However, Joey no longer wants to interpret the vague omens of this tarot card, because the Helm of Fate had given him a clearer and more explicit warning.
The Joker was able to easily steal the divine power of Naboo, the god of order, because a dramatic change was about to occur throughout the universe and even beyond.
The universe that Joy inhabits, composed of dark matter, did not form spontaneously, but was forged by a greater being.
Joey had already gleaned a glimpse of the truth from the information wave that nearly killed him during his battle with Barbatos.
Now, the Helmet of Fate is showing him clearer guidance and foreshadowing the adversity to come.
This is a colossal catastrophe that transcends the entire universe, and all worlds will suffer in the impending catastrophe. A clever yet deadly deception has slid the already chaotic and disordered dark universe into an even darker abyss.
These universes, which were already almost doomed to destruction, will soon face a catastrophe they cannot comprehend.
Because the place where these universes were forged was a blazing furnace located in the midst of chaos and nothingness.
Under its master's care, the creative fire in the heart of the furnace once burned eternally, continuously forging, reshaping, and maintaining the endless multiverse.
Now, the fire has gradually died down.
