American Comics: Multiverse of Madness - #501 - Chapter 498 Barbatos!
“Suffer death, devil!”
The Punisher took the lead and bore the brunt of the attack on the unknown Batman variant.
Although he didn’t know what the monster in front of him was or how dangerous it was, the Punisher believed in Doctor Strange and Zhang Yi behind him.
As the god of death in Hell’s Kitchen, no one knows more about close combat than the Punisher. Moreover, he has fought many demons before, so he was not frightened by this weird bat monster.
Coupled with the fact that Doctor Strange and Zhang Yi, the two most outstanding wizards in the world, are standing behind him, the Punisher believes that no matter what kind of trouble he encounters, those two will protect him.
Doctor Strange and Zhang Yi did not live up to the Punisher’s trust. The moment the Punisher acted, a golden light and a wisp of green flames followed them.
The Punisher, holding an ax in his hand, arrived in front of the weird Batman in an instant, but before he could launch an attack, the weird Batman struck back and flashed over the Punisher’s head at extremely fast speeds.
The Punisher only had time to raise his hand to block, and the next moment, the weird Batman’s hand blade stabbed the Punisher’s neck.
Golden light suddenly appeared, and a bell erupted in the air.
This was Doctor Strange’s guardian magic being triggered. The blade on Strange Batman’s arm collided with the golden magic circle, and a burst of sparks burst out.
When the plan failed, the weird Batman immediately ran away, trying to distance himself to find an opportunity for the next attack.
But just when he moved less than three meters, green flames suddenly emerged from the ground and quickly turned into a circle, trapping it inside.
“Got you, Bruce.”
Zhang Yi silently stretched out his hand, and the gushing ground fire immediately turned into a large net, severely blocking all his escape routes.
“No, that’s not right.” Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the hunched-over bat monster in front of him, making whistles.
“What’s wrong?” Doctor Strange came to Zhang Yi’s side. He asked curiously while controlling the magic circle vigilantly. “Did you notice anything wrong?”
Hearing this, Zhang Yi frowned deeply. Originally, he did think that this guy was Bruce Wayne. After all, in the multiverse, the only guy who can wear this suit is Batman.
But the problem is, it is true that Batman is Bruce Wayne, but not all Batmans are Bruce Wayne. The guy in front of me may not be the guy in his mind.
“I originally thought this was some variant of the cursed Bruce Wayne, but” Zhang Yi licked her dry lips and shook her head slightly.
“He’s not the Batman you remember, right?” Doctor Strange quickly understood what Zhang Yi meant.
Strange, as the Sorcerer Supreme, has experienced similar things in the past. Although he does not know Batman or who Bruce Wayne is, he has experienced this kind of identity theft many times. few.
Having been dealing with demons and creatures from other dimensions for many years, he often encounters things like demons occupying the bodies of superheroes, or Skrulls stealing the names of superheroes.
“Yes.” Zhang Yi didn’t mean to hide it. He looked at this strange monster seriously, his frown deepening. “In my memory, it seems that there was such a weird Batman, but”
“But what?” Doctor Strange asked curiously.
Zhang Yigang was about to speak, but saw the strange Batman in the flames making another move.
Its hands suddenly became thicker, its nails became sharp and sharp, and the cloak on its back turned into a pair of ferocious black wings, and its mouthparts let out a dragon roar.
The terrifying aura rose instantly, and the strong pressure overturned Zhang Yi’s flame net. The punisher closest to it took several steps back, watching the changes in the strange monster with vigilant eyes.
“What a weird energy. I have never felt this kind of darkness and distortion. What the hell is this?”
Doctor Strange’s handprints continued to change, and the huge ‘well’ magic barrier immediately gathered into a hard golden barrier, which together with the flames formed a cage again, blocking it inside.
Hearing Dr. Strange’s exclamation, Zhang Yi moved his hands quickly and directly converted the energy in his body.
‘Madam, are you here? ’
(At your service, my lord!)
The connection was reestablished, and Miss Time’s voice instantly resounded in Zhang Yi’s mind at Zhang Yi’s call.
‘Analyze this guy’s energy response, take photos of its soul, and then help me convert some stellar energy. ’
(As you wish, my lord.)
After Miss Time finished speaking, a flash of orange light suddenly burst out of Zhang Yi’s body. At the same time, a third eye opened on Zhang Yi’s forehead instantly.
“Stephen, help me!”
After saying hello, Zhang Yi took two steps forward, formed a golden beam of light with his hands and shot it directly in the direction of the weird Batman.
“coming.”
Doctor Strange also understood immediately. Although it was the first time they cooperated to deal with the enemy, the cooperation between the two seemed to be particularly tacit.
As soon as Zhang Yi took action, Doctor Strange immediately responded.
Several chains came from the void and tightly tied the opponent’s wings, restricting the opponent’s movements. No matter how hard they struggled, they could not break free in a short time.
At this moment, Zhang Yi’s magic beam had already arrived in front of him. Without any obstruction, it hit the strange Batman’s chest head-on.
boom! !
When the two came into contact, a magnificent energy reaction broke out instantly, blowing Zhang Yi’s windbreaker and Doctor Strange’s cloak, while the Punisher leaned down and lowered his center of gravity to avoid being blown out.
“Ouch, ouch, ouch—”
Under the bombardment of the golden beam, the weird Batman instantly began to struggle violently.
At this moment, its entire body began to shake, as if there were several monsters fighting for control of its body.
The sharp teeth and bloody mouth suddenly opened and roared. A strange and ferocious dragon head emerged from its neck, and on the other side, a strange face of a bat poked out of its head.
The tentacles all over the body continuously exuded black gelatin, dripping on the floor of the Supreme Sanctuary and emitting thick black smoke. Under the light, the shadow of fear continued to twist and squirm on the wall.
“Your Majesty, Emperor Weishan, what kind of monster is this?”
Seeing the strange creature struggling crazily under the bombardment of Zhang Yi’s powerful energy, Doctor Strange’s face became a little stiff.
Next to him, looking at the monster composed of a black dragon, a bat, and an octopus, Zhang Yi frowned and revealed its identity.
“That is the product of Barbatos, the final dragon who destroyed the multiverse, the bat god.”
“Isn’t Barbatos one of Solomon’s seventy-two pillars of demons? I’ve dealt with it before, and it’s far less weird than the guy in front of me.” Doctor Strange turned to look at Zhang Yi.
“It’s just the same name, these two guys are not the same species.” Zhang Yi responded casually, and then suddenly increased the energy bombardment in his hand.
As Zhang Yi’s energy bombardment increased, the weird Batman howled even more sadly.
At the same time, the dragon head and bat face inside its body were gradually suppressed, leaving only the disgusting tentacles still swinging.
“Now!”
Zhang Yi shouted loudly, and the punisher next to him immediately took action.
He suddenly rose up, like a leopard ready to hunt, quickly came to the strange Batman, raised his ax and struck down.
This time, the Punisher finally succeeded in hitting the enemy, and the magical artifact ax directly chopped off some of the thickest tentacles on the weird Batman.
“Good job Frank.”
Doctor Strange praised him, his hands kept changing in front of him, and finally he slowly spread his arms.
As he moved, stick-shaped metals wrapped with magic runes stretched out from the ground and walls, one horizontally and one vertically, criss-crossing directly into cages.
At the same time, the walls and the ground began to move, and the entire space was quickly compressed. Next to Strange Batman, the area that was originally the size of a basketball court was instantly reduced to the size of a bathroom under Doctor Strange’s control.
Coupled with the bars made of rod-shaped metal, the weird Batman was directly restrained into a cell.
Under the combined efforts of Zhang Yi and Doctor Strange, more than a hundred blocking and restricting magics were blasted through, tightly restricting it.
Weird Batman roared and rushed towards the cage.
But as soon as it came into contact with the rod-shaped metal, it was blasted back by a burst of colorful energy, and hit the ground heavily. Black smoke came out of its body, and it couldn’t get up for a long time.
Only then did Doctor Strange breathe a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Turning around and looking at Zhang Yi, he had to admit that if Zhang Yi hadn’t been by his side and joined forces, he and the Punisher would never have been able to trap each other so easily.
Looking at Zhang Yi, who had been staring at the strange Batman in front of him, Doctor Strange asked again.
“So, can you explain what this is, and what the Dragon of Ending is.”
“In another multiverse, there is something called the world melting pot. Amid the hopes and fears of all living things in the world, countless parallel universes are also produced there.”
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Yi shook his head and spoke.
“The universe born of hope and beauty will continue to spread and become part of the glorious multiverse, and those twisted, dark and despairing universes are the food of Barbatos, the dragon of the end.
Barbatos was responsible for destroying those dark parallel universes and turning them into pure energy to return to the melting pot of the world. However, the crazy Barbatos did not complete his duties. Instead, he left those dark universes behind and let them return to the melting pot of the world. It turns into its own nutrients. “
“You mean, this guy in front of you is the top soldier from the Dark Multiverse named Barbatos sent to explore the way?” The Punisher couldn’t help but ask.
Doctor Strange next to him also frowned. “Could the Dark Multiverse be the source of the pollution?”
“impossible.”
Zhang Yi directly denied this conjecture and continued.
The swelling has subsided, but the joints are still a little painful and it is not very convenient to move. Thank you for your concern. I did not expect the pollution to be so serious (no)
Then there are groups. I’m a bit of a homebody and social-phobic, so I didn’t think about setting up a group at first, but I will still set up a group after everyone asked me to finish today’s update first.
Thank you again for your support
