Chapter 1150 Becoming the Protagonist of the Batman: Dragon Story

The Riddler Edward Nigma returned to Gotham at dawn, specifically to their target location, Gotham.

The universe of Heroes' Death.

This godforsaken place is teeming with zombies.

Gotham is usually drizzly, but today the weather is unexpectedly good, just like the city is happy that it has finally gotten rid of more than 800 million parasites.

Too many people have died. The anti-life zombie virus spreads through electronic products and the internet, which means that everywhere human civilization has set foot is filled with dead people, with only a very few lucky ones struggling to survive in the piles of corpses.

Clearly, they haven't encountered any of the riddle-makers yet.

puff!

The Riddler swung his crowbar, imagining the zombie in front of him as Batman, Bruce Wayne, the Joker, or someone else. He kicked the zombie to the ground and then plunged the crowbar deep into its skull.

"Uh, maybe I need to remind you, actually all the victims of Heroic Death can be reversed back into humans, you know that?" the Time Master said weakly from the side.

"Whatever," the riddle teller replied.

Unlike the inhabitants of this universe, the Riddler and the Time Master know the world's original destiny. They only need to find Cyborg, his body, or anything he left behind to work backward from the answer, solving the zombie crisis first before dealing with the Anti-Monitor.

"To be honest, if I were the Anti-Monitor, Zombie Superman or his true form should have landed on our heads the moment we landed," the Time Master complained from the side. "I don't understand why."

"Or he could grind the steel skeleton of this universe to dust, or put it somewhere we can't find it at all, but he did nothing and just let us wander around in his world."

The riddle-maker said, "Do you know what this means?"

He swung the crowbar again and struck a zombie wearing a Stars and Stripes outfit on the head, then pried open its skull.

Of course, this zombie didn't say "I can help you play the flute" at all.

"What does it mean?" the Time Master asked.

"This means that Lincoln March's judgment was completely correct, and the things we prepared beforehand are no longer needed."

"What are we going to do with him? I've already dragged him all this way."

The Time Master said, showing the Riddler the cart he was pulling, on which Reverse Lightning, bound by a ring of negative energy, lay.

"There are more and more zombies, and we can't keep dragging this burden along indefinitely."

"We're 9 kilometers from the Bat Cave. There will be plenty of equipment there that we can use directly. Trust me, I'm quite proficient in using bat equipment. Let's find another car. The car we just saw was badly damaged. There must be an unused car in the garage of one of those houses over there."

"It's obvious we can't walk another 9 kilometers with him. He's been struggling, and we have to find a way to replenish the energy in the bracelet, otherwise he'll break free."

The riddle teller sighed.

"So you mean you want to release it?"

"Uh...maybe we can find a power plant."

"That's certainly possible, as long as we find a power plant to charge him, or I can directly modify the high-voltage electricity on the utility pole—but actually, we're not without other methods, such as simply killing him and then manipulating his corpse; the anti-surveillance agents still wouldn't be able to track us. We have other options—"

"Uh, wait a minute." The Time Master interrupted the Riddler, pointing to the swarming zombies in the distance.

"Sigh, alright." The Riddler hurriedly walked to Reverse-Lightning, who was being pulled by a trolley, and then pressed a button on his wristband. Immediately, countless tiny nanobots were released from the wristband, forming a small display screen.

The riddle teller adjusted himself slightly and then said, "Sit still."

Nothing happens.

"Oh, come on, stop struggling, Dr. Swann. If you don't lead us away, you'll be eaten to pieces by these zombies during this time. Why drag us down with you? You'd better—ouch!"

A flash of yellow lightning illuminated the scene, followed by a shift in the surrounding space. They reappeared in the same spot, but the horde of zombies that had been closing in on them had vanished without a trace.

They used time travel to arrive on the same street two hours later in the same timeline, thus avoiding the approaching horde of zombies.

"Let's go, let's continue. Head straight to the Batcave; there'll be enough power to charge the bracelets there," the Riddler said. "The Batman Dragon plan will guide us. With the equipment, I can search for Cyborg worldwide via the network. And the Anti-Monitors will have absolutely no way to—"

As the Riddler reactivated the highest level of suppression on Reverse-Flash's superpowers on his bracelet, he said this, but soon he noticed a look of horror on Reverse-Flash's face.

In an instant, instinctively, the Riddler dodged to the side, but there was no attack as he had expected. He turned his head to look at the Time Master, only to see a blank expression on the other's face.

Immediately afterwards, he felt something dripping onto his chest. When he reached out to touch it, he immediately felt his hand covered in blood.

"What's going on—"

"Yes, with the story of Batman: Dragon suppressing me, I indeed cannot kill you in the simplest way, but that doesn't mean I can't do anything."

The riddle-maker heard the sound and gasped; he realized where it came from. It wasn't from the outside world.

"Stay away from me, I'm afraid I've been infected by the anti-life zombie virus—when?"

From the riddle-maker's perspective, he first saw a ball of fire suddenly burst into flames on the ground in front of him, the fire rising rapidly and then quickly turning blue.

He heard the Time Master calling his name loudly, but it all seemed incredibly distant, as if from another world.

"Yes, if I can't stop the story of Batman: Dragon, then I can only join in, but there are ways to join in."

The Riddler first saw a ball of energy resembling the sun brewing in the blue flames. That was the final, barely formed form of the Anti-Monitor, killed by the Justice League at the end of Crisis on Infinite Earths, after losing its physical body.

"If I don't want to become the villain who gets defeated in the story, then there's only one other thing I can do—"

"To directly become the protagonist of the story."
