DC Universe: Gotham City of Outstanding People
At this moment, Xu Xiao's figure appeared in this city for the first time, surveying this destined central city.
"As expected of the core region of the DC Multiverse, it's incredibly lively here."
Xu Xiao's perception penetrated into another dimension, allowing him to sense several special forces permeating the city, or more accurately, residing on Earth, though concentrated here.
The negative energy of the entire world converges here, and the legendary source of those vicious criminals is the influence of this force.
" Batman, the Joker, and Metropolis Superman... oh, and most importantly, the Flash... tsk tsk, so many iconic anchors of the DC Universe, no wonder there are so many accidents on Earth."
The DC Universe, like the Marvel Great Chiliocosm, is a vast world with infinite universes and infinite timelines; its immensity is beyond doubt.
However vast the world may be, its development always revolves around certain points, namely the protagonist or the chosen one.
All the development and evolution of a world revolves around these chosen ones, which is why you should try not to mess with the main characters lightly.
These people may seem ordinary, even just average people, but you have no idea how many powerful figures are watching them from behind the scenes.
Truly, a single hair can affect the whole situation!
During his casual conversation with the Goddess Nüwa, Xu Xiao discovered an interesting point: even Sage cannot directly see through the evolutionary process of the world.
Although they can see through cause and effect, predict the future, and even identify the chosen ones in the dark to predict the course of the world, they do not know everything.
Therefore, they will focus their attention on those special individuals in order to control the development of the world.
"Fortunately, this time I was just skirting the rules; the main force was the First Firmament and its allies. I was only responsible for picking up the scraps."
Xu Xiao doesn't have the habit of foolishly taking matters into his own hands. His agreement with First Firmament states that his responsibility is only to open up the channel between the Marvel and DC Universe and help Marvel's forces infiltrate, not to start a full-scale war.
DC and Marvel had a brief period of contact, but they were separated for some reason. Reconnecting is not actually that difficult.
"However, if it's just about opening the passage, the First Firmament Beings will definitely grab a piece of the pie and run. I can't let you get here so easily."
"I will make this channel as wide as possible, and make this opportunity as big as possible, to the point that both of you see a chance to tear a piece of flesh from the other."
"Only if you two fight each other fiercely can I profit from it."
Xu Xiao smiled slightly, then immediately concealed his aura and hid in the shadows.
To bridge the gap between two worlds, the first thing to do is to find a suitable anchor point.
Anchor points can be inanimate or living things, but Xu Xiao chose a group of people—yes, a group of people.
A group of villains, evil people, who are opposed to the so-called Justice League!
The first prerequisite for anchoring is that it must have a certain connection with the world; you can't just find any random passerby to be an anchor.
Supervillains are different. These are representatives that emerged because of the protagonist's birth, to highlight the protagonist, or simply to represent the Dark Side of the Universe or the clash between the two sides. Apart from a few special cases, most of them don't attract much attention.
These entities, capable of clashing with the protagonist representing justice, are inherently connected to the world and are excellent pawns.
Just like what Xu Xiao did in the Marvel Universe, he chose to target the major villain Apocalypse, and only after a hint of trouble appeared did someone notice it, but by then it was too late.
This time, Xu Xiao plans to follow the same approach, giving the villains of the DC Universe something unique to Marvel, so that they can become anchors connecting the two worlds.
First, the first seed – Bane!
Actually, if Xu Xiao hadn't noticed that several people were paying attention to the Joker, he would have chosen the Joker. That guy's Seed of Desire were very compatible with Xu Xiao's; he was a completely capricious villain.
However, Bane is no less impressive. He is intelligent, ruthless, decisive, and a highly intelligent character, making him a villain with both courage and strategy.
The first world Xu Xiao chose was the timeline of Batman: The Dark Knight, because he valued this villain.
As a man capable of delivering a 'broken back' blow to DC's own son, he is highly admired by Xu Xiao.
"However, it's a little too early, at the moment."
Xu Xiao's Divine Sense swept across every corner of Gotham, and even searched several nearby cities, but he did not find Bane's whereabouts.
Clearly, this group of international mercenaries had not yet arrived in the beautiful and resource-rich Gotham City to become Batman's adversary.
"The guys in Arkham are alright, except for the Joker, the others are pretty good anchors, it's just a shame there's too much attention on them."
Xu Xiao's Divine Sense scan revealed several unique figures among them.
The Joker, Joker Girl, the Penguin, the Scarecrow, the Riddler, and other villains have all been captured and imprisoned by Batman, and none have escaped yet.
However, Arkham, as the city's training ground for villains, has several higher-dimensional beings watching it, or more precisely, watching the Joker, making it inconvenient to take action.
"No, let's check with the others first. We can't alert them yet... Oh right, these guys should be able to handle it."
Xu Xiao's gaze fell upon Gotham City's affluent district, where many of Gotham City's wealthy businessmen, political figures, and elites resided.
At the same time, it is also the Dominator of another force in Gotham City — the Court of Owls.
These dark forces, which have existed since the Gotham, are organizations of ordinary people, but their madness and the power they wield are quite remarkable.
Because of their faith in Barbatos, the god of darkness, these guys fantasize about helping an Jashin from the Dark Matter Universe invade the main matter universe, and even want to receive his blessings. They are simply driven by greed.
"However, having desires is a good thing. Since they are willing to worship Barbatos, they probably wouldn't mind having another generous God."
Xu Xiao smiled. He wasn't afraid of people having desires; in fact, it was a good thing, as it made it easier for him to control them.
