The Asylum of All Worlds

Chapter 548 Those Bruce Waynes in the Basement

"What does the universe look like?"

asked young Bruce Wayne, lying on the lawn of the manor.

"Look up and you can see," Thomas replied, not having a conversation like this with his son in a long time.

Bruce Wayne raised his head. On the dark sky, there were lush spots of light and nebula flickering. Bruce knew that it was an explosion 1 years ago, and the light came into his field of vision from a distance he couldn't imagine.

He couldn't imagine what kind of civilization or scene it was, but in the end, it just turned into a flash.
"So, what about the places you can't see?" He asked again.

"can not see?"

"Yeah, what you can't see, like over there." Bruce Wayne pointed to the edge of his vision in the distance, where there were blurred shadows, blocked by invisible clouds, leaving nothing but nothingness: "Or something more Far away, beyond those stars."

Old Thomas was silent, as if he knew something, but he was hesitant to tell his son about these things.

He looked at the sky, and after a long time said: "It's another universe."

"Another? Universe?"

"That's right." Old Thomas smiled. "There is another universe far, far away, and there are more universes passing through that universe."

"how many?"

"It's like a pot of water. After it boils, every bubble is a universe. In an infinite time, they grow, then burst, and finally replaced by other bubbles. Those universes are called [planes] .”

Bruce Wayne nodded half-understanding: "So, are those planes different from ours?"

Thomas smiled: "Of course they are different, but they are also the same. For example, there may be countless you and countless Gothams in countless planes, but... each of them is different."

"It's so interesting!" Bruce sat up excitedly: "If there is a chance, can I meet them?"

Thomas looked at the sky, another star point disappeared, he didn't know what was going on in his mind, the night wind blew through his hair.
"Yes, my son."

He responded lightly.
At that moment, the young Bruce Wayne had deep expectations for other planes. Of course, there are good ones in these planes, and there are also planes full of stories that should never be staged.

They are twisted, misshapen, desperately struggling to survive in the light of their benign multiverse counterparts, but ultimately doomed to perish.

Perhaps this terrible universe itself is one of them.

somewhere far away.

It's also called Gotham.
Aged Bruce Wayne sitting by the window
His legs could no longer be lifted during a certain battle, and his eyes could no longer adapt to the dark light, so he could only sit in a wheelchair and wear reading glasses.

As the days passed, Bruce felt more and more old and slow. This kind of aging made him feel helpless.

then.He turned to The Flash for help, hoping to "catch up with the corruption of Gotham" with the help of the Speed ​​Force.

However, The Flash turned him down.

Because Barry has experienced it firsthand, he knows better than anyone that the Speed ​​Force is going to be a dangerous drug for Bruce amidst the desperation and grief that is likely to come.

Bruce Wayne is a smart guy, he knows, and Barry is right.

So he readily accepted Barry's words.

But maybe he didn't notice it himself, this idea just sneaked into his heart and hid it
In the following years, Bruce Wayne gradually adapted to himself as an old man. He read the newspaper and watered the flowers every day. He raised a lot of flowers, and would put a bunch of them on the grave of his parents on time.

Of course, gradually, he also got used to putting the same flowers in front of Alfred's grave. The old man is too old, he will definitely leave first, oh, maybe he will soon too.

Bruce Wayne, start waiting to die.
However, one morning suddenly, when he woke up, he found himself in a strange prison cell! ?

Where is this place?

He didn't know, but gradually, he was surprised to find that in this cell, he was the only one imprisoned!All sorts of Bruce Wayne.

This is too unbelievable, but he can only choose to accept it.

Just like that, Bruce Wayne sat in this cell, waiting for a future that he didn't know. After a long time, he even felt that he was going to die here. Finally, one day, the door of the cell was opened

A teenager, sitting alone on the lawn of a huge manor, he also looked up at the starry sky.

However, what he thought of was not the vast universe, but his parents.

The gunshots at the age of 8, which always echoed in his ears, made him unable to sleep well for several years. Although he can fall asleep peacefully now, it is just adaptation, not forgetting.

"Hi, young man."

Suddenly, a green light opened the curtain in front of the young man, and a person radiating green light appeared in front of Bruce Wayne.

The man stretched out his hand, and in the palm of his hand was a ring emitting green light.

"You are chosen, my child"

Everyone who overcomes fear may be selected by [Lantern Ring] and become the guardian of the Green Lantern Corps.

Trembling, Bruce Wayne picked up the ring
No one knew that he hadn't actually overcome his fear, that fear was only covered up under the rage, and adapted to in the long memory.

This time, the ring was chosen for the wrong person.
Many years later, a green planet far away from the edge of the universe lost its luster with the sound of an explosion.

On the entire planet, there are erupted and torn earth everywhere, ruined walls, and corpses everywhere. Only Bruce Wayne, who has grown up, stands on the top of a high mountain, looking at the planet that is about to be destroyed under his feet.

He exudes a light yellow, which is the color of the green light of the lantern ring mixed with blood.

It was he who destroyed it all.

"The night is vast, and the light is extinguished! The day is gray, and it is about to be king! The morning light flickers, and the midnight is long! The tricky lamp is always bright, and the dawn is black!"

Bruce tampered with the oath of the Green Lantern Corps.He didn't want to be Bruce Wayne, and he didn't want to be Green Lantern; he stood in the blaze of blood-stained Green Lantern energy, but felt as if he had been engulfed in shadow; The cave, he was still in, with darkness and bats.

He took off the lantern ring angrily, all of this was meaningless.

"Come on, punish me!"

He yelled to the sky.

In the next second, he was surprised to find that he was already in a prison cell.
