Gotham, You're the Craziest-Is This Still Mount Shu?
Beneath the Bloody Sky, Ten Thousand Ren Bone Peaks pierced the clouds like fangs.
The lair of the Nether Spring Blood Demon is embedded deep in a fractured abyss. The jagged rock walls are covered with Human-Faced Sores, and the seven orifices of each distorted face ooze putrid pus and blood, which converge into nine dark red rivers of blood.
The broken nascent souls of cultivators floated on the river, emitting mournful cries like infants amidst the blood-red waves.
At the heart of the cave, a throne is formed by a thousand skeletons, with Netherworld Ghost Fire burning in the eye sockets of their skulls.
The stalactites hanging upside down from the dome are actually solidified Blood Marrow. When they drip down, they come into contact with the boiling magma on the ground and explode into a toxic mist of sulfur and foul stench.
Zheng Zha's tiger's mouth still retained the burning pain from his training Zhao Yingkong, but when he opened his eyes, his nostrils were filled with a foul stench.
Where is this?
The same question arose from Zhao Yingkong and Zhang Heng. Turning to look at their captain Fang Yu, all three realized that the situation was developing in a very outrageous direction.
"Fuck you! Is this still Mount Shu?" Fang Yu clenched his fists, completely bewildered.
"Laozi 've already thought about how to explain the Earth Grudge Fear to Bai Mei. I've also purified my Ghoul Bloodline. And now the hell is telling me we're on the Demonic Faction?"
Fang Yu raised his hand, and the holographic mission interface projected by his wristwatch displayed: Help the Nether Spring Blood Demon devour Chiyou Blood Cavern, remaining time: 79:59:59
"This is outrageous!"
The sixteen newly reincarnated individuals slowly awoke. At first, they felt dizzy and their consciousness was hazy, but when the pungent stench entered their nostrils and they heard the mournful cries that sounded like those of an infant, they instantly became alert.
"What! What is this place?" A young man wearing glasses asked in a trembling voice, his body shaking uncontrollably. He looked around in terror at the towering, fang-like Ten Thousand Ren Bone Peaks, the Human-Faced Sores oozing putrid pus and blood, and the river of blood floating with corpses. His eyes were filled with fear and confusion.
A girl with a ponytail burst into tears, covering her eyes tightly with her hands, unable to bear the horrifying sight any longer. "I want to go home, what is going on!" Her cries echoed in the eerie environment, adding to the desolation.
Despite the chaotic scene, no one believed they had been kidnapped. After all, the unimaginable surroundings did not seem like a staged illusion.
Just as everyone was gripped by panic, Zhang Heng from the Central Continent Team suddenly froze, his gaze fixed on a woman in the crowd.
The woman had a good figure, wearing tight sportswear that accentuated her curves, but the well-developed muscles in her hands showed that she was not a delicate woman.
At that moment, she also noticed Zhang Heng's gaze. The two stared at each other for a moment, but Zhang Heng seemed to have been burned and quickly turned his face to the side.
The woman then walked towards Zhang Heng.
Seeing the scene becoming increasingly chaotic, Zheng Zha took a deep breath and shouted, "Everyone, calm down! Listen to me!"
His voice was particularly loud in the noisy environment, and the crowd's panic subsided slightly as they all turned their attention to him.
Zheng Zha cleared his throat and began to introduce the Main God Space with a serious expression, "Everyone, the place we are in now is a place beyond your imagination. It is full of dangers and opportunities, and every mission is a matter of life and death for us."
Everyone listened to Zheng Zha's words with shock and disbelief on their faces, but the bizarre scene before them forced them to believe it.
After introducing the Main God Space, Zheng Zha, who had received Reward Points, glanced at everyone and then asked, "Now, I want to know, has anyone in the team seen the movie ' The Legend of Mount Shu '?"
The crowd looked at each other, whispering amongst themselves. Some shook their heads, indicating they had never seen it before, while others looked thoughtful, trying to recall the plot of the movie.
A special little boy in the line raised his hand and said, "I've seen it."
Zheng Zha glanced at the boy, wondering why the Main God had sent a child this time, when Fang Yu spoke first.
"You devise a plan on how to break this deadlock as part of the Netherworld Blood Demon Faction. I'm open to your suggestions."
Upon hearing Fang Yu entrust this matter to a child he had never met before, Zheng Zha didn't quite understand, but then he heard the child say:
"Based on your description of the Main God Space, I roughly guess that this Main God must have some demand for us."
As he spoke, he rubbed and poked his chin. "It might be trying to extract our fear. After all, this place looks so creepy, and it's like being in a series of Horror Film, so it's hard not to think about it."
"But you also say that there are Limitless possibilities and that you can exchange anything you can think of under the sphere of light."
"So that means the Main God wants us to grow."
His eyes locked onto Fang Yu: "I think that under its rules, there must be no inevitable deadlock."
Fang Yu nodded. "There is indeed no guaranteed death, but it is difficult to find a way out, especially after we have joined the ranks of the Nether Spring Blood Demon."
At this moment, a thin man wearing glasses interjected, "I... I don't quite understand. I've seen the movie too."
Zheng Zha waved his hand. "You go ahead."
The thin man with glasses continued, "Bai Mei Ascends, Dan Chenzi was possessed and controlled, Li Yingqi's primordial spirit was extracted and imprisoned in Chiyou Blood Cavern, Xuantian Sect was burned to ashes, Changkong Wuji to combine the sword and only a wisp of his primordial spirit was preserved, and he came out as an unenlightened fool."
"This situation seems to be very advantageous to us, doesn't it?"
Fang Yu's lips curled up, but before he could speak, the child said, "Since there are opposing camps, it means that the ending of the movie will be completely different if someone interferes. Judging from what you've said, the Nether Spring Blood Demon does indeed have a very high chance of winning, but don't forget one thing."
"The Main God did not send us here to reap the benefits without sowing."
The boy thought carefully for a moment and continued, "Although I haven't read many novels, the realm where one can ascend at any time should be at the Mahayana Stage. At the beginning of the film, Bai Mei had already used the Vast Heaven Mirror to cover the Nether Spring Blood Demon, almost disintegrating it."
"It was Dan Chenzi who did something as foolish as Star-Lord, giving the Nether Spring Blood Demon a chance to escape. Later, the Bai Mei broke into the Blood Cave. In order to save them, Bai Mei threw the Vast Heaven Mirror into the Blood Cave, which triggered the plot of Bai Mei Ascends to the universe to find a more powerful magic weapon."
He rubbed his chin. "I think Bai Mei isn't stupid. He's clearly someone whose cultivation level far surpasses that of the Nether Spring Blood Demon, yet he always sends his Nascent Soul Stage stage disciples to deal with the Nether Spring Blood Demon. That means..."
"He was simply worried that after he ascended to heaven, there would be no one on earth to take charge of things, which is why he created so many crises."
The boy thought about it carefully, "If my analysis is correct, the Nether Spring Blood Demon only reached the Tribulation Transcendence Early Stage after devouring the Chiyou Blood Cavern. With such a cultivation level, Bai Mei, who is in the Mahayana Stage, can be killed instantly."
"And we mortals, under the Bai Mei eyes of Bai Mei, who is at the Tribulation Transcendence Peak Stage, can hardly achieve anything."
"Furthermore, to be blunt, although I don't know the movie's setting, those numerous soldiers from Mount Shu who can Sword Flight all have at least the Foundation Establishment Stage to Golden Core Stage cultivation levels."
He looked at Zheng Zha and the others, "I think, even those of you who seem to be the strongest," he turned to Fang Yu, "Haven't reached the Tribulation Transcending Realm, have you?"
Fang Yu curled his lip, "Don't even mention transcending tribulation, even reaching the Nascent Soul stage would be difficult. Xiao Honglü, stop analyzing, I think I have an idea."
Xiao Honglü was a little confused, pointing to himself, "How do you know my name?"
Fang Yu shrugged. "I guessed from the way you spoke."
"No, no, no! This... this doesn't make sense, does it? You know me? That shouldn't be possible, how could you possibly know me? This, this..."
Ordinary people's wisdom cannot transcend the characters' own thinking; only people like Chu Xuan and Deadpool can understand what the information Fang Yu revealed truly foreshadows.
At this moment, there are only three minutes left before the Main God's Protective Shield is activated.
At this moment, the woman standing next to Zhang Heng spoke up loudly, "Those two 'veterans' have already finished speaking, so why is this 'veteran' not saying a word?"
Zhang Heng's pupils contracted immediately. "Vivi... I... I was..."
Ming Yanwei snorted coldly, "Do we know each other? Why are you calling me by my name?"
Xiao Honglü was stunned again, "They know each other too?"
"They're more than just acquaintances," Fang Yu explained, suppressing a laugh. "They're a couple. When they were passing through an alley, they ran into a group of Blondie thugs. Zhang Heng abandoned Ming Yanwei and ran away, leaving Ming Yanwei to be attacked by the group from both sides."
"Ah?"
Meanwhile, atop the Shushan Mountains, a line of white faces appeared one by one as beams of light shone down.
From the crowd, a middle-aged man holding a rapier, wearing straw sandals and a cloak, burst into laughter. "Dreams! Dreams!"
The bald man holding a curved sword rolled his eyes. "Roger, our target this time is the Vast Heaven Mirror. I used up an F-rank Authority! Don't cause me any trouble."
"Hahaha, is this your dream? It feels great to have your dream entrusted to you like this!!!"
"."
"Wait a minute," Ah Xing, the wise man in the crowd, suddenly looked at the Reincarnation Watch. "Central Continent Team? Captain, have you heard of this team?"
The bald man frowned. "Isn't that that bitch's team?"
At 2:17 a. m., the Copper Bell on the antique telephone suddenly rang.
Bruce Yu lifted the Gotham Gazette cover from the phone and answered it.
"Mr. Bruce? This is Jane." The woman's voice was crackling with static, and there was the intermittent sound of wind in the background. "Jack hasn't been home for three days."
After borrowing the Penguin's assets, Bruce Yu moved out of the apartment, and he became Jane's only source of support in the city besides her husband, the Joker.
Bruce held the receiver between his shoulder and ear. "Madam, given your husband's profession, three days shouldn't be a problem."
Jane shook her head. "He'll come home on time, no matter what he's doing."
"That's something I hadn't thought of. Okay, I'll help you look for it."
In the disciplinary cells on the seventh basement level of Arkham Asylum, twelve Tesla coils formed a strange bat shape on the dome.
The Joker was hanging upside down in the center of the ring electrode, green liquid dripping from the hem of his purple suit trousers onto the metal floor, looking utterly miserable.
"The current intensity was increased to seven times the Gotham police standard."
Batman's mechanical voice, tinged with an eerie tremor, said, "You're a madman, so you need to increase the dosage."
The Joker, no longer able to laugh, roared, "You're the madman! You're the madman of all in Gotham! Let me go! I need to get home and let my wife know I'm safe!"
Batman remained unmoved. "Here, some people have lost their mothers, some have lost their children, some have lost their Bat Family. And you."
"Why can't I lose my wife?"
"Fuc*!"
Compared to the Red Death Batman, even the Joker seems perfectly normal.
Bane's roar came from the next cell, where his prized Venom catheter was being modified into a torture device for prisoners.
The Killer Croc's scales burst open under microwave irradiation, and the cryogenic chamber of the Mr. Freeze turned into a sauna.
Batman even smeared itching powder on the back of a villain who had lost both arms.
It can be described as heinous crime.
"Aaaaaah! Hahahaha!!!"
After being tormented by an electric shock, the Joker suddenly looked up, a twisted smile spreading across his face.
"My dear bat, you've finally got it!" He was convulsing from the electric shock, but his mouth stretched to his ears in a grin. "But using Arkham's old equipment is so unoriginal; I got a much more exciting batch last month."
Batman casually swung the joystick, amplifying the current fourteenfold.
The Joker's retina began to bleed under the intense light stimulation of a hundred times per minute, reminding him of the stinging sensation he felt on the day he was transformed by the chemical vat.
"Gotham needs order." Batman suddenly stood up. "Don't you like creating chaos?" He walked to the chair that was holding Scarecrow, grabbed Scarecrow by the neck, and turned the Fear Gas Mask upside down on his face. "Now the whole city is under my fear."
The Killer Croc suddenly let out a non-human howl, and rows of hard metal objects were inserted into his scales from the opposite direction, turning him into a bloody mess, like scraping fish scales.
In the room where Poison Ivy was, videos of humans destroying the forest played 24 hours a day. Poison Ivy clutched her head in pain, but a glass dome descended in front of her, inside which was a blooming rose.
Just as Poison Ivy was stunned, the device beneath the cover suddenly spewed fire, engulfing the rose and burning it into a blackened stick in a few seconds.
"No! No! No!" Poison Ivy cried, stroking the glass dome with heartache.
But Batman, seeing this scene in the lobby, smiled.
"Look at yourself now!" The Joker's pupils dilated to their full sockets with excessive excitement. "You're crazier than anyone else!" His protruding tongue trembled with each electric shock, yet his laughter grew even more manic. "But darling, you've missed the most crucial step."
"Oh? What is it?"
The Joker scoffed, "Gotham isn't your place to call the shots!"
Batman stood up, his sinister face clearly visible in the dim light. "You mean Bruce Yu?"
"He will soon receive the same treatment as you."
