After the banquet, Bruce Wayne privately inquired about the remains. After spending 20 days together, you felt he was a trustworthy person. So, without hiding anything, you told him everything you knew and summoned your own double before him.

Bruce Wayne didn't see your double, but smiled and said he was also interested in the Saint's remains. However, he wouldn't deliberately fight for them.

On the evening of January 1973, 1, while you were resting, a series of patterns suddenly appeared on the back of your left hand. They resembled the Latin letters CRUS, which translated into Chinese means: Move your feet. Could this be another effect created by the saint's remains?

However, a newspaper immediately resolved your doubts. The newspaper featured a picture of a mountain whose top was shaped exactly like the pattern on the back of your hand. If I'm not mistaken, this is the saint's remains in your left hand guiding the location of the next body part.

Then, you read some religious books about saints, hoping to find out the origins of the saint whose remains were left behind. In this world, a saint is someone who can perform miracles even after death.

According to Vatican regulations, anyone confirmed to have performed at least two miracles after death is considered a Saint. Therefore, in this world, some Saints are not officially recognized until three to four hundred years after their death, making them the greatest of the great. Lex Luthor and the Church are using this tournament to search for his remains, demonstrating his significant position among the Saints.

Furthermore, the saint's remains are incorruptible, and not just devout believers, but people all over the world seek them. For example, on August 1640, 8, during the civil war between England and Scotland, the remains of St. Christopher were seized from the Scottish royal family and worshipped as their patron saint. This marked the beginning of the glorious British Empire, which lasted for over 22 years.

[And the saint among saints can grant the holder a thousand years of glory and power.]

[Counting your unexpected Stand abilities and partial divine power, two miracles have already occurred. According to Vatican standards, this is undoubtedly the remains of a saint. Suddenly, a thought arises within you: you want to successfully collect all the body parts and see what happens. Can this allow you to travel back to your original world and change your predetermined fate of being poisoned by a cup of wine?]

After seeing this, Zhou Ning couldn't help but twitch his lips. Lanling Wang's goal was to return to ancient times and become a prince? How unambitious! However, the concept of saints here seemed a bit similar to that in the world of "Apocalypse", only not as exaggerated.

In the world of Apocalypse, those whose power surpasses that of a demigod, but whose status falls short of that of an angel, are called saints. In the story behind Apocalypse, the remains of Saint Zachary, the recognized saint of the Ascetic Church, have caused several miracles. Using his remains can trigger divine interventions and bring good fortune—a trump card held by the Ascetic Church's Darkland Diocese. The scepter used by Saint Zachary during his lifetime has also become a sacred artifact, a method for the creation of unknown artifacts: Saint relics are extremely rare and typically monopolized by the major Orthodox churches.

Continue the simulation.

[Also, you've discovered something interesting. You hadn't noticed before. There are at least five or six people here searching for the Saint's remains. Since you were the first contestant to escape the demon's clutches, someone else probably leaked the news of their possession. For the entire evening, half their attention has been focused on you. It's quite outrageous.]

If I'm not mistaken, starting from the next stage, I'll face unprecedented challenges. There might even be several teams of assassins waiting for me. Furthermore, no one around me can be trusted, as anyone could be bribed into becoming an assassin.

The next day, the third stage of the race kicked off, starting from Monument Valley, crossing the Rocky Mountains, and ending in Canon City. The total distance is 510 kilometers, and the shortest possible schedule is expected to be 7 days.

This section of the race takes you through the mountains, with countless wild beasts roaming nearby, but this isn't a problem for you and Bruce Wayne. It's true that people are destined to be together. After more than 20 days together, you and Bruce Wayne have become close friends, and now even you can sing a few lines of rock music. (You earn the achievement: Friends (IV))

Contrary to your expectations, nothing happened for the first three days. It wasn't until the evening of the fourth day, when you reached the foot of the marked mountain, that you encountered a large group of people.

This group includes Roman Sionis, currently ranked 12th (Black Mask, the DC villain from the original universe), wearing a black mask; Slade Wilson, the 17th-ranked veteran (Deathstroke, the DC villain from the original universe); and Kyle Rayner, ranked 19th (Ion, the DC superhero from the original universe). The Joker also happened to pass by on a bicycle, and your old acquaintance, Jorg Washington, came galloping over on horseback from another mountain path.

[This group of people, suspected to be children of this world's plane, have appeared nearby one after another. You can't help but narrow your eyes. Perhaps the remains of the second saint are actively attracting the host in their own way.]

Not long after, a sand sculpture quietly emerged from the dunes ahead. In its hands, it held two objects that looked like wooden eyeballs. The usually low-key Joker suddenly burst into astonishing speed, heading straight for the wooden eyeballs.

At the same time, you rushed forward, but were stopped by Roman Sionis, wearing a black mask. He whispered to you, demanding that you hand over the Saint's left hand! Roman Sionis wasn't a Stand user, but he was a skilled marksman with dual pistols, possessing exceptional hand-to-hand combat abilities. The black mask even possessed powerful mental powers capable of controlling the minds of others. Slade Wilson, on the other hand, was incredibly strong, a marksman too, far surpassing your strength, and even possessing remarkable self-healing abilities.

[As for Kyle Rayner, he's a Stand user. His Stand can control and manipulate the elements, creating attacks like ice storms and dark force fields. He's incredibly formidable, and they're all working together!]

A fierce battle is unfolding. Since it's not raining, you can't use your Stand abilities, making a quick victory difficult. However, Bruce Wayne doesn't hold back any longer, unleashing a dazzling array of weapons.

[Even on the other side, the Joker was riding his bicycle furiously towards the sand sculpture in front of him, while chattering non-stop about moral principles. They collected the remains so that those who were truly qualified could gain true power and thus be more capable of "saving" the world.]

Listening to his rambling speech, you couldn't help but sigh wearily. Tell him that there are no true saints in this world. Everyone has selfish desires. When power and strength belong to the same person, the world will only become worse.

The Joker ignored your words and continued to charge forward. Bruce Wayne's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was touched.

Just as the Joker is about to grab the two eyeballs, Bruce Wayne extends a grappling hook and retracts them. The two eyeballs fly high in the air, one of which flies straight towards you, but Bruce Wayne is knocked away by the enraged Joker's punch.

When Bruce Wayne raised his head again, everyone was shocked. You saw that one of the wooden eyeballs was embedded in the left side of his eye socket, pressing towards the position of his left eye, and finally completed the fusion.

[At the same time, behind him, a silver-white evil spirit with rabbit ears, pink shoulders, and a silver body was floating.]

[Behind him, Batman in black armor gradually emerged, followed by Batman in blue armor, and then Batman in red armor...]

[You grabbed the other eyeball in your hand and pressed it against your right eye without hesitation.]
