After Nine Years in the Multiverse

Suddenly, the door to the room was pushed open, and an elderly man with a full head of silver hair walked in carrying a tray.

"Master, you're awake."

Seeing Bruce Wayne awake, Alfred called out joyfully.

"Alfred, I—"

"You were missing for eight years, a full eight years! Thank God you've finally returned safe and sound!"

"What?"

Bruce Wayne was shocked and muttered, "I was only gone for a few hours, no more than a day, how could it be—how could it be eight years?"

"Sir, you really have been missing for eight years." Alfred, having put down his plate, looked at him with tears of joy.

Eight years, eight years— Bruce Wayne had a vague idea.

The Lord of the Void named Su Quan said that the location of the Brawl Arena was at the end of the Multiverse Timeline, and that's why he had been 'missing' for eight years.

Bruce Wayne looked at Alfred's white hair. "You've had a tough time, Alfred. You've gotten old."

"Master, you haven't changed at all, you're still so young, so where have you been for the past eight years?"

"Where did I go? I went to the end of time and participated in a bizarre competition."

Bruce Wayne muttered to himself, then stood up and asked, "How did I get back?"

"A young man with an Asian face brought you back. He said you promised him $100,000, and I gave it to him."

Bruce Wayne's expression shifted, and he hurriedly asked, "When?"

"Last night."

Bruce Wayne asked again, "You gave him the money? In cash?"

"Yes."

"I see."

Bruce Wayne was almost certain that the person who sent him back was Su Quan, the Lord of the Void.

And he probably hasn't left Gotham City yet!

Bruce Wayne didn't care about the $100,000 he was swindled out of; what he cared about was the other party's purpose in staying in Gotham City, or rather, in staying in this world.

Also, the reason he sent himself back eight years in the future!

"Tell me what has happened in the past eight years, and what changes have occurred in Gotham City during these eight years."

Bruce Wayne must fill the void of his eight-year absence as soon as possible, and then—find him!

Two flowers bloom, each representing a different branch.

At this moment, Su Quan was wandering the streets of Gotham City.

Last time, due to time constraints, they captured Bruce Wayne and left immediately, which Su Quan deeply agreed with. This time, he naturally wanted to experience it properly.

Regardless of who becomes the Champion among the five people in the first season, Su Quan will remain in their world for a period of time.

As mentioned before, they were all carefully selected, and each of their worlds was worth Su Quan's consideration.

Take this world for example.

Bane, Catwoman, Miranda are all his targets, and he is equally interested in the Batmobile and the Bat-cycle.

One Batman, and not even the Main World Batman, is not enough to satisfy Su Quan's appetite.

Yes, this Batman is not the Batman from the Main World's Justice League, but the one from the Batman trilogy.

Su Quan took him away eight years ago, around the time when Batman had just dealt with the Joker and Two-Face Harvey Dent.

According to the plot, Batman took the blame for all the crimes, maintaining Harvey Dent's positive public image.

Afterwards, Batman became a wanted criminal and disappeared.

Six months later, Bruce Wayne, who was nearly crippled, was forced to return to action because Bane and Miranda, representing the League of Assassins, wanted to destroy Gotham, and Batman was brought back into the world.

Su Quan originally didn't plan to send Bruce Wayne back eight years in the future, since he couldn't control the exact time of travel when traversing worlds outside of Marvel.

However, this time, it might be because the Magik's teleportation ability was merged into the Impossible Man's Dimensional Teleportation.

When he traveled through time, he clearly felt more at ease and in control, which is why he sent Bruce Wayne eight years in the future, which is now!

Walking down the street, Su Quan found that the simple and honest Gotham City were pretty much as she had imagined.

It's morning now, and the sun was shining brightly just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, it's become overcast and oppressive.

The bizarre Gothic buildings stand tall, and although the streets are bustling with people, not many crimes seem to occur.

Perhaps it's too early?

After all, if idle gang members could get up early, they wouldn't have become gang members in the first place.

That's not quite right either. This statement might hold true elsewhere, but in Gotham, a place almost synonymous with darkness, it's not necessarily true.

"Clack clack clack—" The crisp sound of high heels came from behind Su Quan, growing louder as it approached.

Before Su Quan even turned around, he smelled a faint, pleasant fragrance wafting over, refreshing and delightful.

A hand reached out from behind and hooked around his arm. Then a tall figure came into view, followed by a sweet voice.

"Don't speak, don't turn around, don't show anything unusual, help me, someone is following me."

The woman holding Su Quan's arm twitched her lips slightly, and she quickly explained the situation to him in a pleading tone.

Su Quan caught a clear look at the woman's appearance out of the corner of his eye.

With a slightly elongated face, fair and delicate skin, large and bright eyes, and a beautiful yet not seductive eye shape, she gives off a feeling that can be both sweet and salty, both alluring and cool.

Catwoman: Selina Kyle!

Su Quan recognized at a glance whose pretty face it was.

Of all the known versions of Catwoman, she is definitely the most beautiful and unforgettable one!

Using his Psychic Abilities, Su Quan scanned the pedestrians behind the two of them. None of them seemed unusual, meaning that no one was following her.

"Someone's following you? I think you're the one following me!"

Good grief, I haven't even come looking for you yet, and you've come looking for me instead.

Are you my target, or am I your target?!

Selina acted very naturally, as if Su Quan were really her boyfriend or husband.

Su Quan was no less impressive, performing even more naturally than her. Not only did she appear completely unaffected by acting, but she also subtly added her own dramatic flair.

"Honey, I'm actually very insecure. I don't even dare to hold other people's girlfriends' hands when we're walking down the street."

Su Quan wore a smile, seemingly speaking sweet words, but in reality, he was spouting nonsense.

Selina rolled her eyes inwardly. "Don't worry, I don't have a boyfriend."

"You're lying," Su Quan said directly.

"I'm not lying, I really don't have a boyfriend."

"If you don't have a boyfriend, then what am I? Aren't I your boyfriend?"

Su Quan looked like he had been tricked, and raised his voice as if he was angry.

Selina could already feel the gazes of those around her, and she quickly said ingratiatingly, "Of course you're my boyfriend. I just didn't understand what you meant and thought you thought I had other boyfriends."

"Darling, you're my only boyfriend, I swear!"

As she spoke, she also took the initiative to hug Su Quan.

"I'm just in trouble and need your help, don't go too far."

Su Quan wrapped his arms around her and chuckled, saying, "This is Gotham!"

The honest and simple Gotham of Gotham are not very kind to strangers.

Selina gritted her teeth in anger. She was a native of Gotham and knew exactly what Gotham was like.

You, an outsider, dare to pretend to Gotham and lecture me? I'll steal everything from you, down to the last thing you have! I'm not Catwoman!

Selina inwardly scoffed, but outwardly she feigned a delicate and vulnerable demeanor. "What... what do you want?"

"Didn't you say I was your boyfriend? Then be my girlfriend for a few days."

"Impossible."

"Don't rush to refuse. Look behind you, aren't they following you?" Su Quan, holding Selina, shifted slightly in his direction.

Selina knew perfectly well that no one was following her; this was just an excuse she used to get close to the guy and steal the strange metal Bracelet from his hand.

As a notorious jewelry thief, she was surprised to find that she couldn't even recognize what material the other person's Bracelet was made of, which made her very curious, so she suddenly had the idea to pull off a heist.

Selina glanced over casually as she thought about it, only to see several guys instantly act as if nothing had happened when she looked over.

Is it true that someone is following them?!

Selina blinked in disbelief. This... this is too much of a coincidence! Someone really was following me?

Wrong!
