Chapter 1021 The Laughing Bat Reappears, This Time... Enemy or Friend?
In the main universe, Diana Prince tried her best to convince herself that she wasn't swimming in water, but her limbs still ached. She told herself that she didn't need to breathe, but her lungs still craved air. When she finally reached the deep seabed, a target that looked like a black mirror, fear arose spontaneously.
The answer is there, but it is unbreakable.
"call!"
Diana emerged from the deep, dark expanse that resembled water, returning to the Moon of Witchcraft. On the shore, Queen Hecate, Chen Tao's allied heroine, and Witchfire awaited Diana's return.
"How is it going now?" Queen Hecate asked.
"It's so dark. I still can't find a way to leave the collective unconscious. There's nothing in there, and none of the other two aspects of Hecate that you mentioned came to find me."
"I have to try again," said Diana from the main universe.
Then he saw Queen Hecate and the League of Heroine exchange a glance.
"Perhaps it's time, sister."
In the main universe, Diana heard the two people say, "You've found the bottom, and this time, we'll go down with you."
"Okay—okay. I understand. Is there anything I need to be careful about?" The female warrior from the main universe took a deep breath.
"There's nothing to be careful about, unless I had to say there is—"
The League of Heroine and Queen Hecate exchanged a glance.
"You'll need to keep us on our toes, so it might take a bit more effort than before."
"Okay, but before we begin our escape, I have one more question to ask."
"That's what the female warrior from the main universe said."
"Go ahead and say whatever you want," the League of Legends heroine replied.
"What exactly is the story of Empress Hecate? In the stories I know, I mean, my brain is starting to reveal to me the history before the universe rebooted."
At a very close point in time, did the universe reboot? I'm already beginning to see the history before the reboot, so vividly. But I still don't understand, before the DC multiverse rebooted, what should I call you, Empress Hecate?
You are a Dark Multiverse version of Wonder Woman, an evil version of me. I don't understand why, with just a universe reboot, a former villain has become—a superhero—and is now planning to join me in saving the magical side of the DC multiverse. I don't want to publicly question this, but I still want to understand what exactly happened.
Wonder Woman said this.
Then he saw Empress Hecate sigh before him.
"Sister, don't you understand?"
She said, "I was a product of Hecate's successful evil timeline. Like you, I was also a being created by the World Makers. However, instead of ascending to the positive matter universe, I fell into the dark multiverse."
"Compared to yours, my history is one of collapse, of falling apart after making mistakes. And the history of my existence should, in itself, successfully prove this point."
Queen Hecate said, "But the existence of the real Hecate proves just how ridiculous I am, doesn't it?"
I am merely a poorly made copy of her, not a rational individual. My existence is nothing more than an insignificant illusion. Therefore, I often ponder how I, now an illusion, should spend the rest of my life.
Diana, the judge, found the other party's attitude rather strange. It didn't seem like something a logical person would say; it was more like some weird idea that someone had just made up after getting drunk. She turned her gaze to the Alliance heroine standing next to her and saw the other party nod at her.
Then he heard the Alliance heroine use some kind of magic to project her voice, whispering in her ear, "Well, your guess was right."
After I captured Queen Hecate, I did indeed use unconventional methods against her. You know, in my world, Luther deconstructed a portion of Perpetua's power, creating some strange things that could generate a fake, simulated timeline with an accuracy infinitely close to the real timeline, and then project people's consciousness into it.
I did this to Empress Hecate, who had lived in that world of consciousness for countless years, served her sentence, and also changed her mind.
The main universe's female warrior felt a chill run down her spine, and she subconsciously retorted, "If you could somehow reshape her mind—"
"No, strictly speaking, it's what I realized." Then the heroine heard Queen Hecate's voice interrupt, telling the two of them, "Strictly speaking, it's what I realized: I am ultimately just a poor imitation. My evil comes from the personality and memories that the World Maker set for me when it created me. Isn't that a kind of control? And now I can force myself to do things that I would never have done in the past. This is rebelling against my creator."
Empress Hecate adjusted her crown, which made her appear more upright and confident.
"You might think this is some kind of parallel universe heroine controlling me, but you're mistaken."
She whispered to Diana in the main universe, "Even though I come from the Dark Multiverse, I am still a person with self-awareness and free will. So, enough talk, it's time to fight."
Empress Hecate was the first to merge into the body of Diana in the main universe, followed closely by Diana of the Alliance.
So when Diana from the main universe once again ventured into the dark shadows of the Witch Moon and found that invisible barrier, her thumping finally attracted the attention of the creature behind the screen.
A friendly hand pulled him through the barrier, while on the other side, he felt a sense of open air.
The two Wonder Women joined Queen Hecate together —
I witnessed the other two aspects of the Triad Goddess —
Listen up, Diana and her sister, time is running out, and there's still so much you don't understand. You've been caught up in a huge drama, and to end it, you must figure out the whole story.
Magic existed in the beginning, when it was still very primitive, like an endless light of possibility growing ever fuller, surrounding the still-forming multiverse. Thousands of years later, some people called that space the realm of the gods, and this story predates the birth of the gods—it originated at the very beginning of life, from the first dream of the impossible.
This story originates from the first magical creatures, who, in the instant of shaping themselves from the astonishing light of the universe, sought to roam in a pure realm of possibility and joy, where what they conceived could become reality.
Before long, the girl realized that she was not alone in the darkness. Behind the realm of the gods, there was an even darker place, connected to an even darker multiverse.
It was as if he were born from light, while she was born from darkness, their origins reversed, existing outside the DC multiverse. The monster eyed the girl menacingly, and out of fear, she created layers of barriers beneath her feet to keep him away.
She did not want her beautiful, infinitely possible world to be tainted by fear, so in order to forget this creature of fear, she began to visit Earth, the new center of the multiverse, to observe the growth of humanity.
She would bestow upon them the gentle touch of her magic, surprising them with the possibilities contained in the world around them. Her worshippers gave her a name that meant "faraway" in their primitive language.
Because they believed that the girl lived on the distant moon, they called her Hecate.
As the human race grew, their beliefs became more refined and began to take on more rigorous forms. As a result, his world took on diverse new forms, from the powerful council of gods to the pantheon, each with its own mysteries and magic.
All the gods in the system wanted to win her favor, believing that she was the one described in their respective creation myths. She acquiesced to this idea because it suited her wishes.
Oh, to put it another way, Diana, Hecate was changing. To face the new situation, she needed to mature, and she felt it was her responsibility to take on a new form of magic and faith. The girlish side receded, and the motherly side took over.
Many gods began to court Hecate, and eventually, she accepted the affections of Hades, the Greek god of the underworld.
The Olympian gods welcomed her as one of their own, and even though the mighty Zeus realized that her power was greater than his own, they still hoped that he would mold her into a god according to their model.
He became the goddess of magic, and her followers would place honey at the crossroads under the silver moonlight, and she would appear to answer their every request. This continued for generations.
But as he gave generously time and time again, people noticed her boundless power, which far surpassed that of the other gods they worshipped.
They longed to wield this boundless magic themselves. They memorized the magic circle he had used when he visited the Crossroads and imitated it. They successfully summoned Hecate and imprisoned him within a circle forged from the moon.
People will no longer submit to any god or any power; they will place their own will above the universe.
Thus, Hecate was imprisoned for many years, and every day she prayed to her fiancé and the gods she had joined, who had said how truly they loved him.
Until one day, Hades came to him with a simple message: he had found a new bride, Persephone, the daughter of the nature goddess Demeter.
He told Hecate that the Olympian gods had decided they would no longer welcome Hecate into the gates of Olympus, and so he left.
Hecate screamed, realizing she had been captured and imprisoned entirely with the tacit approval of the Olympian gods. They wanted their power, not through her generous gift. In her screams, she sensed a presence she felt would never return, a dark, inverted entity, much like him. The reflection of power was fraught with turmoil, venom, and threat, filled with hatred. Driven by rage, she forced her way through the membrane of the multiverse, touching his dark opposite and introducing a wisp of dark magic into this world.
Yes, that's right, Hecate stole the power of the Inverted. She actively embraced her opposite, bringing even more malevolent magic to the DC multiverse.
She roared at the mages, promising them the dark magic they desired—a magic capable of tearing the world apart. This power would erode and destroy them from within, spreading endlessly and irrevocably, never to be sealed away. When she bestowed this power, her heart was filled only with malice and hatred; her maternal side had been completely replaced. Hecate donned a new face, a vengeful one; she became the embodiment of hatred, letting this power surge through the world.
Furthermore, he wanted to make the gods experience his wrath, to remind them of his high position in the universe, and of his extraordinary and terrifying power. If they dared to betray him again, he would use that power to end their divine authority. She saw the fear in their eyes, and she knew they understood.
But she could no longer trust anyone, so she chose five human girls, each of whom bore a resemblance to her former self, and divided her power into five parts, hiding them within the five girls.
She longed to take revenge on the Olympian gods.
But he ultimately failed to do so; when he was released again, all the Olympian gods of the world had already died at the hands of Perpetua.
Therefore, Hecate soon had a new target.
Boom!
-
The deafening roar echoed across the sky, resonating within the mind of the witch Circe.
She knew that Batman Dragon was intentionally provoking her, which was why he chose such a direct and violent method instead of using a more abstract and difficult-to-understand approach.
The earth was burning, the sky was trembling, Batman Dragon's cloak was fluttering in the hurricane, and the countless monsters created by Hecate's magic were so numerous that they could have put the Justice League in a tough fight, but they were all crushed to ashes by Batman Dragon's punches.
In an instant, everything crumbled like a tidal wave. When the witch Circe looked up again, she saw that the wilderness was deserted, the evening breeze was blowing, and the world was quiet.
The witch Circe saw Batman land gracefully in front of her.
"Let's go."
The witch Circe heard Batman Dragon say.
He quickly began giving directions, using a magical ritual to locate the target.
But soon he sensed that Batman Dragon had stopped.
"What's wrong?"
She instinctively asked the question, then looked up. And then she understood why Batman: Dragon had stopped moving.
Because they saw a person appear before them.
Someone even Chen Tao never expected to appear here.
The Bat of Mad Laughter.
