บท 2252: Chapter 1524 C: The Twilight Event (End) _2
Last of all, there needs to be a Joker virus. The Joker Cain's blood that Bruce injected into Thomas comprises two parts, one is Cain's blood, and the second is the Joker virus on the Joker-converted Cain.
In conclusion, after Joker's disappearance, Thomas Wayne should be the prime successor.
Lying on the bed, a stiff smile gradually curled up on Thomas's lips. However, at that moment, Bruce abruptly cut off the energy supply of the Initiation Ritual Magic Array in the operating room.
This Magic Array is primarily used to stimulate the energy within the Blood Clan's blood. The energy within the Blood Clan's blood is an essential condition for keeping the initiates alive, after all, their nearly depleted blood is insufficient to sustain their life.
Once the positive energy from the magic stops, the magic naturally ceases to operate; thus, the part of Cain's blood, which belongs to Cain's power, will also be cut off. Consequently, Thomas, who relies on this power to live, should naturally die.
But the Joker is immortal.
A paradox then emerges. The initiation ceremony is interrupted, causing the initiates to naturally die. However, Thomas is the first candidate to be converted into the Joker, and the Joker is immortal.
The world's rules want to utterly transform Thomas into the Joker, but Thomas has already been put on the death list. In the domain of the living, this person has disappeared.
The world rules can't transform a dying person into the Joker, and death can't accept a Joker who is immortal according to the rules; they both struggle against each other.
The death in the DC World is not that humane, it's more like an automatically running system. If the system can't continue running, then the object would be marked as an abnormal target, and then displayed in the error report. The error report will ultimately be submitted to the administrative head, which is God.
So what is God doing now?
He is looking for Gabriel all around the world, with no time to watch the error reports. Thus, the situation is held up here.
In other words, Bruce trapped a bug, which let Thomas stuck in the present "not dead or alive" state.
While at this moment, Bruce brings Joker Martha back again and continues to bind her in the Dreamworld, waiting quietly.
The Joker's strength changes with Batman. According to the first law, if Batman dies, the Joker will also disappear.
Batman Thomas, who corresponds to Joker Martha, has already climbed onto the death list. It's equivalent to him being dead, merely stuck in a freeze. If Batman dies, the Joker naturally doesn't need to exist. Thus, Batman Thomas and Joker Martha's dynamic binding is unbound.
Then, according to the Joker's transformation principle.
Firstly, there needs to be Batman's gaze. Right now, Bruce is watching Martha while pouring his feelings towards her.
Secondly, Batman needs to have a deep connection with the Joker. Bruce is Martha's biological son.
Furthermore, the Joker needs to have a bad day. The death of Batman Thomas is equivalent to the death of Joker Martha's husband.
Last of all, there needs to be a Joker virus. Joker Martha was originally the Joker, so the Joker virus naturally existed inside her.
Thus, Batman Bruce and Joker Martha reach a dynamic binding again, complying with the Batman-Joker law once more.
Then, according to a variant of the second law of Batman-Joker, the more awake Batman is, the more awake the Joker would be. The less serious Batman is, the less mad the Joker would be.
The clarity of Joker Martha who is bound to Batman Bruce will change with Bruce. Currently, in this world, there isn't anyone more awake than Bruce.
Consequently, Joker Martha gradually regains her senses, the Joker virus in her body weakens, and the madness in her eyes gradually recovers its vivacity.
Through the messy face paint and horrifying bent lips, you can still see the elegantly kept beautiful face of the madam that bears no trace of time, the classic and melancholic beauty in Batman's appearance stems from his mother, Martha Wayne.
As the madness in Martha's mind gradually faded and the residual memories began to tell her reason what cruel thing she had done, the always kind and loving Martha Wayne finally couldn't help but break down.
She sat on the ground, covering her face with her hands and began crying non-stop. Then, as if suddenly thinking of something, she looked up at Bruce, who was also looking down at her.
Bruce slowly knelt down and embraced Martha. Just as he was about to say something to comfort his mother, two angels, flapping their wings, arrived belatedly.
Michael and Lucifer peered at Thomas who was lying on the operating table in the operating room, his life hanging in the balance. Michael, glaring at Lucifer, said, "You said let him try, now look what happened, what do we do now?"
"Should we try a reboot?" Suggested Lucifer, somewhat troubled. Then, he raised his head, looked around at their surroundings and said, "It's not easy, not to mention that the Flashpoint Universe is exceptional. A reboot might end up in a crash. God forbid if this dammed Batman goes to his mentor and complains, I wouldn't want to end up like Gabriel."
"But if we keep stalling, Death will eventually notice something's wrong. When he complains to God, God wouldn't blame Batman, would he? We would be blamed entirely, and it would be 'Two gods can't keep an eye on one man!'
Lucifer and Michael both sighed deeply. Between clenched teeth, Lucifer said, "I knew nothing good would come from dealing with Shiller!"
After some thought, Lucifer said, "How about the two of us secretly resurrect Thomas? Just remove his name from the death list, pretend nothing happened, guaranteed Death won't notice."
"That would be interfering with the world order!" Commented Michael, who was rather righteous.
"I'm correcting the world order!" Countered Lucifer, bending his fingers as he calculated, "Why did Batman come here? Because he became an angel. But why did he become an angel? Because Gabriel renounced his angelic status and gave it to him. Why did Gabriel renounce his angelic status?"
"Don't look at me like that, I know I provoked him, but surely God shares some of the blame as well? I'm cleaning up the mess for God, otherwise, if a few universes collapse because of this incident, it wouldn't look good for God."
"That's just a weak excuse!" Michael commented.
"You now see why I am God's favorite angel!"
Without saying another word, Lucifer waved his hand, and Thomas took a deep breath, sitting up straight on the bed.
Bruce had already left with Martha. He brought Martha to his universe, effectively leaving the plot in the Flashpoint Universe unchanged. Thomas would still end up in this universe due to the same accident, thus avoiding a time paradox.
Using the power of Bruce's Holy Light, Bruce and Martha landed in Gotham Cathedral of his universe.
Standing in front of the podium, Martha looked at the familiar scene and couldn't help but ask, "How did you do it? Little Bruce, I mean... How did you eliminate that terrible virus?"
Outside the cathedral, the twilight of Gotham was thickening. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the colored glass windows onto Martha's face, brushing her eyebrows with heavy strokes of golden oil painting and draping her shoulders with a soft veil.
Behind the pulpit of Gotham Cathedral, the statue of Jesus in agony lowered its head. Its features became blurred in the evening mist. After the madness had completely vanished, Lady Wayne seemed as gentle and graceful as the Madonna in an oil painting.
Bruce looked at Martha's face, which had not changed much from his memory. He remembered one night after kindergarten, when he had rushed into his mother's arms with a smile, the sunset shining through the gaps of the tree leaves in front of the school gate onto Martha's shoulder was as beautiful and radiant as it was now.
Bruce stepped forward again. Martha, tormented and exhausted by madness, looked a little confused, like she had forgotten many things. But only the instinct of a mother enabled her to open her arms and embrace her son into her arms, who had grown much stronger than what she remembered.
Motherly love is the only love in this world that comes from instinct, a love that can be achieved without any choice or resistance. It is unconditional and always great.
At this moment, Bruce finally understood why his mentor had wanted him to take a different path—to not go gently into that good night, but as ordinary people do, to die before the night comes, in that brilliant, passionate, emotional twilight, to drown in a gentle embrace.
So, he said in a childish, choked voice.
"Because... I am not Batman."
