Gotham City—
"Master Bruce… No! How could that be, Master Bruce…!"
The butler looked shaken, losing his footing and slumping onto the ground.
As the butler who had followed Bruce Wayne for the longest time, even watching him grow up from childhood, he could not accept that his own Master had become like this!
It was too horrifying… too evil!

Kiritsugu Emiya hesitated for a moment, but quickly arrived at an answer.
Justice… sometimes comes in different sizes!
He could abandon a smaller justice for the sake of a greater justice!
Soon, the answers of three people appeared on the screen.

[ Kiritsugu Emiya (Type-Moon): "Should" ]
[ Kyubey (Puella Magi Madoka Magica) "Should… is it?" ]
[ Artoria⦍Caster⦎ (Type-Moon): "Should" ]
[ Ding, three people answered correctly. ]
Soon, the screen changed—
『 The Multiverse is the collection of all possibilities and realities. Numerous universes resist the darkness, but this is only blocked by a thin wall.
That wall is a moment, or a choice. The only God of Time who can traverse the universe between the realms of darkness and light, Fuginaut, stands above the highest dimension.
His gem-like eyes gazed at the 52 universes before him with indifference.
A Multiversal War is about to break out!
And he is searching to see if there is any world within the Dark Multiverse that can be of help!
In such a harsh zone, does a newborn hero forged by the flames of fear exist?
Otherwise, the coming darkness will swallow everything!
Finally, after searching countless universes, one world finally caught Fuginaut's attention. 』

[ Peter Parker (Earth-616): "Oh! Dear God, just listening to the name, you know the Dark Multiverse isn't harmonious at all." ]
[ Aiwass (A Certain Magical Index): "The Dark Multiverse, an existence opposite to the Multiverse? Does such a Multiverse really exist?" ]
[ The Beyonder (Earth-616): "Theoretically, it does exist. If the entire Multiverse is an ocean, then the Positive Multiverse is the seawater, and the Dark Multiverse is the silt and gravel beneath the seawater." ]
[ Kiritsugu Emiya (Type-Moon): "You mean the worlds of light and hope are the Positive Multiverse, while the Dark Multiverse consists of those flawed or fallen, decaying worlds." ]
[ The Batman Who Laughs (DCEU Earth-12): "Hahahahahahaha! That's right! That's exactly it! Kiritsugu Emiya, your awareness is very high!" ]

In the chaos, a figure in a blue robe, with a large head and a small body, looking incredibly strange, quietly watched this scene.
A ripple flashed through the Watcher's brilliant eyes.
That is a world equal to theirs…
Fuginaut… As a Watcher, he has actually chosen to take action. That implies that a terrible turmoil is about to erupt in that world.
What is a Watcher? If the universe is a pond, then they have long since been outside this pond. Whenever they wish, they can drain the water in the pond at any time, wait for the creatures inside to perish, and then inject fresh living water.
But as Watchers, they never interfere with the universe; they only observe it.
However, a long time ago, they did perform small-scale operations on the universe, such as eliminating some violent races and creating some gentle ones.
But later, they had a disagreement with the Celestials and fought a war for billions of years before giving up on interfering with the universe.
In other words, once an existence like a Watcher takes the initiative to act, a major event is bound to happen!
But as for his world…
The Watcher looked at all the universes being peaceful. Occasionally, a world or universe exploding is quite normal, right?
A smile appeared on the Watcher's strange face.
At the same time, on Earth, Deadpool looked up blankly. The voice in his head said there was a guy called the Watcher peeping at him.
"Oh shit! How could I possibly beat such a powerful Peeping Tom!"

A brilliant electric arc flashed, and the figure of the Flash, Barry, flashed by. In just the blink of an eye, he had crossed a city and arrived at the city's edge.
Looking at the screen, which was exactly their world, Barry couldn't help but reveal a trace of longing. He wondered if he would have a chance to appear.
He definitely would, right? After all, he is the fastest man in the world… no, he should be the fastest man in the universe, right?!
The Flash was full of confidence!

『 It is a reality existing in the gap between the positive matter and antimatter universes, filled with the karma of decay, chaos, corruption, and despair.
This is a chaotic universe where hope is obliterated, and no redemption exists, and the ruler of the Dark Multiverse is the Bat-God named Barbatos!
Residing in this Dark Multiverse of despair and chaos, Barbatos deeply loathes the Positive Multiverse and is preparing an invasion plan at all times!
During a chance encounter, Barbatos saw Batman, who had been transported to the prehistoric era. He discovered that this man shared the same meaning and symbolism as himself!
This man could become his ladder to invade the Multiverse!
Thus, Barbatos began to plan this ultimate war, the largest and longest Multiversal invasion in history! 』

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
A confrontation between light and darkness? Everyone suddenly felt bored.
They had even guessed the general plot. It was nothing more than an evil villain attempting to invade the Multiverse, but in the end, being defeated by a righteous hero, right?
Is there any other choice besides this old cliché?
Everyone shook their heads, the anticipation in their eyes instantly dissipating.
Countless villains in the Myriad Worlds also couldn't help but sigh. When would they ever be able to stand up?

『 In ancient times, three major tribes ruled the world. They were the Bear, the Bird, and the Wolf. Barbatos secretly bewitched Hath-Set, causing him to create the Bat Tribe, also known as the Tribe of Judas, using Batman as a blueprint!
Soon, the Bat Tribe became strong, and conflict erupted between it and the Bird Tribe!
Hath-Set used a weapon made of Nth Metal to kill the chieftain of the Bird Tribe and his wife. Due to the properties of Nth Metal, the souls of the three were bound by the metal, beginning a cycle of reincarnation and struggle over a long period!
Tens of thousands of years later, the Carter couple had a strange and terrifying dream!
In the dream, the flames of war and piercing laughter permeated the entire world. What terrified Carter even more was that a strange, terrifying Batman statue towering into the clouds stood in the center of the world!
And on the legs of that Bat statue, dense black spots were wrapped around it. Carter looked closely and felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Those were… countless wailing, twisted people!
The Carter couple woke up from the dream with a start. They looked at each other, knowing this was a secret regarding Nth Metal!
In order to understand the secret of Nth Metal, the two constantly investigated deeper, but the more they investigated, the more alarmed they became!
They learned about everything regarding their past lives, and the clues left by every reincarnation pointed to a certain Bat-God!
This struggle was not meaningless; they were preventing some kind of dark invasion!
Finally, the Carter couple used the Nth Metal dagger left by Hath-Set to open the door to the Dark Multiverse!
But in that instant, the world turned upside down! The world began to tremble violently!
Then a huge explosion occurred in the entire laboratory. An indescribable dark creature cast a gaze of death, and then the Carter couple completely disappeared. 』

〜Warhammer 40k Universe〜
The Emperor on the Golden Throne awakened, but it was merely an awakening; he still could not leave the throne.
Looking at Barbatos on the screen, hatred and anger flashed in the Emperor's eyes.
Barbatos's appearance at this moment seemed to transform into the appearance of those four peddlers in the Warp!
A thought suddenly flashed through the Emperor's mind: this world, any world, perhaps should not have the existence of gods.
Regardless of whether the god is good or evil!
—
『 Batman was also investigating the matter of Nth Metal. The things he grasped far exceeded the Carter couple. To investigate Nth Metal, Batman even activated the Multiverse Tower hidden in the Fortress of Solitude!
He wanted to use the Multiverse Tower to analyze the origin of the metal, but what shocked him was—nothing!
The entire Multiverse had no traces of these metals!
This meant… these metals did not come from this Multiverse!
Soon, Batman arrived at Olympus, wanting to ask the Greek gods about the origin of these metals. Here, he met Wonder Woman, Diana.
Diana spoke bluntly. The gods no longer had time to care for humanity. A catastrophe was approaching, a catastrophe that could not be spoken of, one that made even the gods tremble!
So the gods chose to leave, following their hearts.
Batman's mouth twitched, but he didn't care, as gods were just like this. But in the end, the kind-hearted God of Fire gave a divine sword made of the Eighth Metal to Batman.
And he repeatedly warned him: never exchange the light of the divine sword for darkness.
Batman, having failed to get help from the gods, used the Sun Sword to exchange for the Blade of Darkness made of the Ninth Metal from the League of Assassins!
At the same time, the Guardians privately summoned Hal and ordered him to go to Wayne Manor to investigate the restless dark forces.
Although Hal was puzzled, he still came to the Batcave to investigate the situation. 』
『 .....』

Hephaestus, the God of Fire, and Wonder Woman felt their vision go dark, leaning back tactically. Child, you are invincible.
One second ago, you were told not to exchange light for darkness, and the next second, you fell?
Just that impatient?!

『 Soon, Hal arrived at the Batcave. Here he discovered a secret room, and inside he found a large amount of different metals. But in the deepest part, he shockingly discovered the imprisoned Joker!
Hal didn't understand, but the Joker laughed heartily!
Having been soaked in Dionesium, he had once witnessed the murals of the Bat-God with his own eyes!
In just an instant, the Joker realized that behind it was a terrifying dark force older than human civilization!
Due to the negligence of the two, the Joker took the opportunity to escape and smashed a device called the Final Invention!
When Batman rushed back, the Joker had already fled. Looking at the smashed Final Invention, Batman frowned.
That was a protective device that could ensure Gotham City would always have a Batman. This machine had once helped him recover his lost memories!
And in that instant, he suddenly thought, since the Final Invention could help him recover his memories, then could it be… Batman looked at the Nth Metal!
With Hal's help, Batman rebuilt a new Final Invention and mixed Nth Metal into it, attempting to once again peer into the strange truth within the endless darkness!
With just a hasty glance, a look of extreme terror appeared on Batman's face. He even fell to his knees, unable to breathe.
He saw nothing, yet seemed to see everything. That darkness, like an abyss, made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
At the same time, tens of thousands of meters deep in the underground world, the Tribe of Judas, which had continued since ancient times, monitored everything. Upon seeing Batman peer into the abyss, they felt genuinely happy. 』
『 .....』
〜Bleach World〜
When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. A smile of interest appeared on Aizen's face.
Once one chooses to peer, one can never stop, until step by step one walks into the darkness.
As long as they are living creatures, they cannot escape curiosity.

『 A place of natural beauty and outstanding people, the simple and honest folk of Gotham City.
Batman and the Justice League gathered. They looked at a mountain emitting an ominous, cold aura that had suddenly appeared in the city center, and fell into silence.
The violent energy surrounding it made everyone uneasy. According to Superman's observation, the inside of the mountain range was hollow!
After some thought, the group quickly entered the interior of the mountain and met the Challengers of the Unknown here.
They told the League that this mountain was the prologue to a full-scale invasion. It was a plan by a certain dark force starting hundreds of thousands of years ago!
The dark existence named Barbatos wants to invade their world. To open the door between the Dark Multiverse and the Main Universe, he must use a human portal, and this chosen person must consume five secret metals!
And in all the records, Barbatos has a connection with Batman, Wayne!
The Challengers of the Unknown immediately decided to kill Batman, but at this moment, Red Tornado, beside them, suddenly roared, then swept Batman away along with the last piece of Nth Metal. It turned out all of this was Batman's plan!
He did all this just to research the Nth Metal!
And Batman indeed discovered a shocking secret!
At this time, the members of the Justice League also gradually realized something was wrong, because the channel between the Multiverse and the Dark Multiverse had already begun to be built, and its progress was even 80% complete!
That means Bruce Wayne has already come into contact with four types of metals!
And at this time, Batman had already thought of a solution!
That is, he intends to replicate the Final Crisis event again, be sent back to the prehistoric era by the Omega Beams, and then bring Carter's mace to permanently return to the past!
But regrettably, Prince Khufu's tomb had long been destroyed, and Batman coming here was merely the plan of the Tribe of Judas. They had long discovered Carter's notes, tampered with the contents, and guided Batman to eat the metal!
Batman was trapped in place and could only watch helplessly as the final metal was poured onto his body!
His body subsequently transformed into the door leading to the Dark Multiverse!
Finally, dragged into the void by twisted dark energy, accompanied by strange, trembling laughter, several alien Robins suddenly sprang out, devouring the Judas tribesmen completely.
Superman and Wonder Woman looked at the scene before them in shock. They subconsciously asked where Batman was.
"Bruce Wayne is right here." Seven sharp, twisted voices sounded simultaneously!
Appearing before the two… were seven Batmen, DIFFERENT IN APPEARANCE BUT EXTREMELY STRANGE!!!
NO… NO!!! THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT BATMAN!!!
But in the next moment, a more terrifying black Bat shadow appeared from behind the seven people. Then, with a wave of his hand, Superman and Wonder Woman were directly turned into dried corpses! 』
『 .....』
〜DC Extended Universe, Earth-1〜
Clark Kent looked shaken, unable to believe it!
He… actually didn't even have room to resist, and directly turned into a dried corpse?!!
He is Superman, the strongest in the world!
The Flash beside him was equally shocked, but he wasn't too worried, because he is the fastest person in the world!
But before this thought could settle, the screen changed again.
