Ma Zhaodi actually had one more conjecture that he had not voiced.

"Permanent fixed-link channels between two worlds" was information only he knew. The system had said nothing about why the two universes had inexplicably converged, though it had explained why the Arkham Universe wanted to cooperate.

[This convergence of universes is a rare opportunity for it to save itself. There is a chance it can rewrite the course of the established storyline.]

According to what they knew now, once the link channel was completed, the strength of the two universes would gradually rise to match that of the Arkham Universe. Put another way, could the Arkham Universe use the link channel to gradually draw closer to his universe along the course of its future timeline?

It was not as though this universe intended to completely copy his own. But his universe really did not have many bizarre complications—Darkseid, Barbatos, the Court of Owls, Trigon. Well, whether Trigon existed here was still uncertain, but this side was indeed peaceful enough. It did not face an extinction-level crisis every other day.

At least, he had lived in Gotham City for nearly two years, and the Justice League had not even shown a trace of itself. That was precisely because this universe had no world-level crises. Every hero could focus on protecting their own patch of ground.

Had the Arkham Universe taken a liking to this aspect and wanted to use a sufficiently safe world as a template, gradually filling itself out into a complete universe?

Ma Zhaodi had no answer. But discussing such a thing with Batman did not seem meaningful either. After thinking it over, he realized there was no need to consider the question—the way things stood, completing the link channel would benefit both sides.

He and Batman did
