What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 440 Gentle Story (Part ) Part

Boom!
A light came on, hitting the center of the high platform.

This place looks like a secret base of some evil organization, surrounded by darkness and eerie silence.

clack.

The sound of leather shoes tapping on the marble floor, and then the sound of walking up the stairs.

Someone is walking onto the high platform used for speeches, or the stage... gently, slowly, carefully following the handrails in the dark.

Then he slowly approached the beam of light on the high platform.

First came the leather shoes, then the trouser legs, and then... the white coat.

"Welcome, welcome - welcome to Dr. Ivo's laboratory, agents, ladies and gentlemen, professionals, and every officer who is inconvenient to appear."

At this moment, it was Dr. Ivo who appeared under the light. He once served in the secret society of super-villains formed by outsiders under Night Owl. He was a genius scientist and the inventor of the subordination robot.

……

In the shadows, Chen Tao, with another face on his face, sat quietly with other government officials.

……

"Even in the political realm, Amanda Waller and General Swanwick... I think you all know who I'm referring to, and the secret is at your level. It’s not really a secret…”

"They are willing to stand up for Batman, but some opposition parties, or many opposition parties, can they shake Batman's authority? They can't."

Of course, everyone can rest assured that neither Amanda Waller nor Ron Ronzi (Mars Manhunter), nor Steve Trevor, nor even Batman himself can do anything about this meeting. without any interference. "

The imperfect subamozo robot he once made was destroyed by Reverse Flash on his own, and since then, he has disappeared...

Of course, they could see that Dr. Ivo was goading them, but so what?

……

He never thought that so many people would attend this meeting.

Under such circumstances, someone suddenly told them that he, Dr. Ivo, could create weapons that were enemies of the Justice League. With the poor and ignorant brains of these politicians, it was impossible to imagine such a situation.

He shrugged: "Think about it... In this world, no one could refuse you. No one could limit what you did. In the past, no matter how much Batman made trouble, it would only be within the confines of Gotham City. , but now through Justice League, his influence has radiated throughout the United States."

Although Dr. Ivo did not see the eyes of the dignitaries hidden in the darkness, he could clearly feel the distrust in the silence.

"That's enough, stop your nonsense."

Since the purpose of instigation has been achieved, there is no need to anger this group of people anymore.

"As long as you are willing to help me create opportunities, believe me." Dr. Ivo said, "I can make Batman bow to you."

"Batman Secret Files."

Dr. Ivo immediately stopped.

"I am dissatisfied with the current situation where Batman is completely out of control and unable to obey any of your orders."

The golden lightning of the Speed ​​Force flowed through his body, and he appeared directly in front of Dr. Ivo, as silently as a ghost.

"Wayne Group, Lex Group, business, medical fields, movies, culture and art fields, scientific research institutions, cutting-edge science, scientific research fields, Batman's influence is too great and too much."

A rough voice came from the darkness. The voice was obviously changed, but the anger contained in it could still be heard.

Following Dr. Ivo's introduction, the Yamozo next to him suddenly turned into fly ash, disappeared under the light, and then reorganized next to him in the blink of an eye.

The expression on his face was ugly.

Until it showed up here.

"Please rest assured that this is a private meeting. Everyone here will never know who is participating in the meeting with you. It is for this purpose that the meeting venue is so dark.

"It's not just that, everyone. Everyone who appears here today must think that Batman is above the law, ignores public power at will, refuses to fulfill his national duties, or let's simply say..."

"Literally, Amazo can be completely integrated into Batman's body, like a parasite, parasitizing Batman's body, thereby tampering with his will and manipulating his body."

Dr. Ivo slowed down his tone: "Think about it, a Batman under your control..."

He fully understands this situation. After all, Batman's power is obvious to all, and the battle between the Justice League and Darkseid on the coastline is also known to the entire world.

"I would like to solemnly introduce to you. The third generation of Amazo. It is fully capable of defeating any member of the Justice League except Batman."

He continued.

Then he paused and said:
"So... I'll keep this short."

Lies won't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife. What he said is true.

"Therefore, my suggestion to you is not just to defeat Batman. What's the point of defeating Batman? You need an obedient Batman, not to completely destroy the existing system of the Justice League to protect the earth. And that's what I do for To solve this problem.”

He said: "Amazo was not only developed by me to be a nemesis against the Justice League, but it is also a powerful fusion device."

He has always lacked direct participation in politics. This time he appeared here because he had been secretly following Dr. Ivo's clues and planned to see what he planned to do. Only then did he discover it.

"And the most important thing is to let me give it a try. It doesn't matter, right? If it fails, you can just blame the whole thing on me, the super villain."

He clapped his hands, and the next second, a man nearly two meters tall, with explosive muscles, appeared. A giant like a wall appeared quietly behind him.

"You were once the masters of the United States, and could even control the appointment and dismissal of the president. But now, you are being treated like thieves..."

After all, ignorance is the norm for most people, and people like Dr. Ivo are really few and far between.

"Updated April 4th."

"I am Batman."

Chen Tao sat in front of the Batcomputer.

The Batcave was empty at this time.

"Not long after I leave the cage where General Zod is imprisoned, I am sure that Night Owl will organize a prison break plan and set General Zod free."

"Supergirl Kara-El's father, Zor-El, is a genius. He reverse-engineered Brainiac's City in a Bottle force field technology, thus temporarily preserving Argon City after the destruction of Krypton. After a while——

But the end result is obvious.

Originally, this story could only prove that the last residents of Argonne City were the only surviving Kryptonian remnants. However, through the manipulation of Night Owl, General Zod quickly got the information about Argonne after proactively asking Supergirl. The city has information on many Kryptonian corpses.

Just by looking at General Zod's expression, it's easy to guess what he will do. "

"Even though I used the Code of Life to remove General Zod's genetic limiter, the limiter in his mind is more deeply rooted than in his body."

"After confirming that the Code of Life cannot resurrect the nemesis, General Zuo De will naturally think of another method. Since he cannot create new Kryptonians, then resurrect the old Kryptonians, and then use the Code of Life to eliminate the Kryptonians. Genetic limitations that prevent natural reproduction.”

"So he will definitely attack the corpses of those dead Kryptonians."

(Note: In the comics, General Zod actually did this. He tried to use the fountain of youth of ninja master Raixiao Ogu to resurrect the corpses of Kryptonians.)
He paused and then said:
"And I let it happen."

He turned his face slightly, half of his face hidden in the darkness.

Then he added: "This is a last resort."

Then Chen Tao closed his mouth.

Many plans can only be formed in silence. When you are determined to launch a fatal blow, you should never speak to others.

This is true for every Batman in the Dark Multiverse... They break through their own bottom line for the reason of "having to do it". After breaking through once, they want to break through a second time, and then three or four times.

Eventually leading to complete depravity.

This change is often subtle, and Batman often doesn't notice it happening.

Just like the slippery slope theory, once Pandora's box is opened, it will never stop.

But for Chen Tao... to put it simply, he is Chen Tao. And here is the slippery slope theory...

It’s a fallacy!
Isn't it just insulting the corpse? This is bullshit. I am just insulting the corpse king. I used to...

Chen Tao suddenly felt guilty.

In short, Supergirl and Clark must not let Supergirl and Clark know what General Zod is going to do, and they cannot admit in this life that he allowed Zod to do that.

Please follow the authority when urgent matters arise. Please understand.

Chen Tao comforted himself in his heart, and then continued:

"It's all about defeating the Anti-Monitor. April 4th, Batman, record completed."

He stood up, walked out of the main control room of the Batcave, walked along the stairs to the rest area on the second floor, and saw Alfred standing at the dining table.

"Good evening, Master Bruce."

Chen Tao nodded and took a drink from the other party's tray.

"Your protein, caffeine, and creatine, mouthwash grade, lord, just taste."

He made a pun: The taste of justice...can be insanity. (go bananas)

Chen Tao finished his drink.

"Very good, eh."

Then he said:
"I have to go."

"The Fiji Vacation helicopter is broken down." Alfred said: "Due to long-term neglect of maintenance, some battery-operated instruments on the operating platform have malfunctioned."

(Note: This helicopter appeared in Chapter 186!)

Chen Tao knew that although he was talking about airplanes, he was talking about himself.

"Alfred, I'm taking a good rest. But not now. I'm a little busy now."

He said, "Sorry."

"Arthur sent me a message. He wants you to participate in an ocean festival held by Mercy Harbor."

Alfred said, "You can go with Wonder Woman."

"We can discuss it later, Alfred." Chen Tao said, and then he realized that it would be a bit rude to say this, so he hurriedly explained: "Martian Manhunter and Amanda Waller told me, I have to attend a meeting where many politicians in the United States invite me to attend.”

"That meeting..." Chen Tao paused.

His back was turned to Alfred, and a ferocious expression appeared on his face where Alfred could not see him.

Then he turned his head, facing Alfred looking more relaxed than ever.

"You know, those meetings are stinky and long, but I have to go there, there's nothing I can do about it."

He promised: "But there will never be any fighting and killing at the meeting. After the meeting is over, I will go to the Ocean Festival that Arthur invited me to, okay? Oh, by the way, he recently hoped to build the The embassy Xuelang base is almost completed, and the Ocean Festival may be able to promote this matter and promote it..."

As Chen Tao talked, the topic changed from "relaxing and relaxing at the Ocean Festival" to "how to use the opportunity of this Ocean Festival to promote the Atlantis Embassy and promote Aquaman's affairs."

Yes, he still has things to prepare for Neptune...

The invasion of Atlantis is almost a foregone conclusion, and Night Owl will definitely control the other party to do so, no matter how.

He plans to strengthen Chen Tao's universe by any means possible, hoping that Chen Tao's universe can stop the anti-monitor. All aspects of this plan are too huge, and Chen Tao only understands part of it.

But the only thing that is certain is that Night Owl will never be stingy about killing innocent people. This is absolutely unacceptable.

Chen Tao can tolerate General Zod's insult to the corpse, but he will never allow Night Owl to affect good people when he executes his plan.

if that is the case……

Trying to take advantage of Night Owl himself would be equally guilty.

"Sigh... Sometimes I wish I could fight them for you. I'll fight the curse of Batman."

"Batman doesn't always need to fight, Alfred." Chen Tao said, "At least not for this meeting."

"I just treat it as a mascot at the conference." Chen Tao said.

You see, as he knew it would.

This world will never give him a chance to breathe. Chen Tao understands this world.

He left Alfred's side and flew through the night sky of Metropolis.

Then he suddenly looked around and saw that the brightly lit city suddenly dimmed.

So he changed direction, and then he saw. On the clouds not far away, the bat symbol whirled in the center of the beam.

Soon, he landed on the rooftop of the Justice League headquarters, and Chen Tao pressed his head slightly.

"what happened?"

"An hour ago, the power grid was cut off due to an earthquake. Not only Metropolis, but also Gotham City, and several surrounding cities were all without power."

What appeared in front of Chen Tao was Martian Manhunter, who had been staying at the Justice League headquarters.

"If this is some kind of attack..."

"Then the scale will definitely be very large, one that can affect the entire city." Chen Tao answered him.

"That is to say, the monster is on its way. While we are waiting... the power outage in Metropolis is not a problem. Gotham City has been lacking a strong person to suppress it recently." Martian Manhunter said: "This It will be difficult."

"I have some sense of instant vision." Martian Manhunter said: "This kind of thing is also called potential memory."

"Relived memories, when we feel comfortable, he comes to remind us to prepare for threats."

"So now what, comfortable?"

Martian Manhunter paused, and then said seriously: "This earthquake is a bit unusual. Especially..."

"Especially when that meeting is about to begin."

"Are you really going to go to the meeting alone?" Martian Manhunter said: "The power outage looks like an earthquake, but there is another possibility. The earthquake is just a reason. The real situation is..."

"The electrical energy is absorbed and becomes someone's power." Chen Tao said: "It is absorbed by some kind of creature and used to strengthen itself, just like a living wire."

(Note: As mentioned in the previous article, the female villain who uses electricity can also absorb electricity.)
"You know this very well." Martian Manhunter said: "I guess the power outage will be restored soon, and the creature that absorbed all the electricity in half the state..."

"This is the opponent I have to face." Chen Tao nodded: "I will handle it alone."

Martian Manhunter was silent for a while: "Don't kill. It's best not to kill."

"I will break every bone in their bones." Chen Tao nodded.

"Ah."

Then they were silent for a while.

"They shouldn't do this to you," Martian Manhunter said. "It's not fair."

"It doesn't matter." Chen Tao answered him: "You have never let this kind of thing bother me before. You have done a good job."

Then he said: "You have other things to be busy with, go and do it. There is also Aquaman's Ocean Festival, and I ask you to be prepared to evacuate every civilian present at any time. Inform Clayface and Barry and ask them to put whatever they have on hand Put things aside and take some time to come and be ready to save people.”

Chen Tao said.

As he spoke, the sky began to glow with light. That's when the electricity returns to normal use.

"And I...should also deal with what I need to deal with."
