What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 445: Starfish, the starfish in the universe, Night Owl’s layout, and the language that Lord Orm can understand
The vast starry sky.

An extremely large cosmic starfish with a huge eye, which can even be called a cute one, is floating quietly.

Under his eyeballs, the mouthpart-like organ opened and closed, and countless small space starfish spewed out. These newborn fragile creatures were exposed to the universe, but they did not appear to be harmed at all. .

They gathered, surged, and swam in the cosmic space, quickly pulling their fleshy little bodies away from the mouthparts of the ejecting starfish, making enough space for other clones that were about to erupt again.

Starro, the conqueror of the universe, has created enough of these small starfish... These small starfish surround him like satellites, forming a huge group of sea "stars" like a ring.

Although telepathy is not a common superpower in the DC universe, it is by no means rare. Although there are some disgraceful second-rate telepaths like Brain Demon, most characters with telepathic abilities can be called terrifying.

Whether it's Maxwell Lord, or Brainiac, Martian Manhunter, Manchester Black (appeared in Volume 2, the British Alliance, purple-haired British man), Despair (Mars Manhunter villain, one-eyed pink-skinned alien) People, who are also telepathic), psychic pirates (Batman villains, this guy is very powerful, but physically weak. In "Batman v3", he was knocked down by the ventriloquist who could not control his mind with his fists), Gorilla Grodd, they are both powerful telepaths, and we are familiar with many of their horrific deeds.

But for those with telepathic abilities, even if their strengths are distinct, there is basically not much difference.

For example, Martian Manhunter, even if his telepathic ability is actually stronger than that of Despair, he cannot tell the winner the first moment they meet.

Most telepaths cannot completely crush another telepath, except for one of the strongest telepaths...

Then it continued to spray the little starfish clone, the alien creature with holes all over its body floating in the universe.

Buzz buzz buzz buzz…

An Owl fighter plane flew out, contracted its wings in the cosmic space without planetary gravity, and transformed into a spaceship capable of sailing in the universe in a short period of time.

Starro has done this act of making small starfish to control all living things on the planet more than once. He should have completed all the work within a few hours, but now he is just like a cow that cannot milk, Slowly spray out those clones in units of hundreds.

"Starro, how many of the 80 billion clones have you produced?"

Starro was not disturbed by the appearance of this fighter plane, it was still concentrating on completing its work.

The buzzing sound of Didi sounded in the cosmic space not far away from Starro, followed by the opening of the blue portal.

This behavior in itself is nothing, but combined with his huge body, it seems a bit creepy and terrifying.

Not too fast, but too slow.

Starro's huge eyes rolled and then stared at the Owl spacecraft.

The Owl fighter plane hovered and stopped in the universe, and then the voice of the Night Owl came from above: "You have to hurry up, time is running out."

Starro the Starfish of the Universe, Starro the Conqueror.

"If you are willing to let me telepathically communicate with you, I don't need to waste time and effort using this creature to communicate with you."

But now, something's a little unusual... about how quickly Starro the Conqueror created these tiny starfish.

It stopped spraying the little starfish clone, and the nozzle under the eye squirmed for a while, and then it was stretched. He spat out an alien creature with small holes all over its body. Of course, this alien creature also had a starfish attached to it. Doppelgänger.

This method of activating abilities, which is completely different from other telepathic users, makes Starro secure the throne of being the most powerful telepathic person.

Immediately afterwards, the hole-eyed creature vibrated like a sound, forming a complete language in Night Owl's spaceship. In addition to being a bit low, the speech was even quite clear:

Starro has conquered countless planets. What he is best at is creating countless small starfish in a short period of time, parasitizing all the creatures on that planet and turning them into a part of Starro. Then he can It will retain that planet, or drain the spiritual energy of all living things on that planet as "eating", and then continue to search for the next planet.

The slightly larger cosmic starfish attached to him squirmed and stretched out its five limbs, spraying some energy towards the creature's back as a boost, driving the hole-eyed alien creature to the front of Night Owl's spaceship. Then posted it.

Because his mind invasion ability is a physical mind invasion, no matter how strong the telepathic person is, he will not be able to use his ability if his little starfish sticks to his face.

Of course it has to do that, there is no air in a vacuum for transmitting sound.

"You asked me how many clones I have completed? The clones I knew in the past only needed to be tough enough and able to control my goals, but now you ask me to create some small genetic surgery experts that can transform the entire organism. Their It’s dozens of times more difficult than those simple clones.”

"Starro. There's no point telling me how hard your job is."

"Night Owl" in the owl spaceship said.

Starro knew that this was probably just a robot remotely controlled by the other party. Although Cosmic Starfish did not understand how the other party controlled it remotely across the vast distance of billions of light years, he did it, so Starro did not Plan to delve into these details.

"I just need you to tell me how many clones you have created now, and how many of the 80 billion people on earth I can turn into carriers of the red of all living beings."

"Almost 60 billion people." Starro said: "I am making them faster and faster now. When your plan is fully launched, I can still make a little more."

"That can still catch up." Night Owl nodded: "But don't forget, in addition to humans, you have to add your starfish genetic modification engineer to all creatures on the earth except humans.

Time is really running out, I remind you again, you have to hurry up.

You'd better remember, Starro, you're not working for me, you're working to save your own skin. You've invaded my mind, and you know exactly what a dangerous monster the Anti-Monitor is. "

"So only you can take me away from this dying universe. I know, Night Owl, I warn myself every day that I am doing my best," Starro said.

"Very good." Night Owl replied: "Lord Orm has been completely fooled. That idiot who knows nothing will use Atlantis's counterattack system to sink the entire earth to the bottom of the sea. In this state , in order to survive, every living thing will have to accept the red power of all living beings brought by your starfish clone."

Night Owl said: "That power will strengthen them, and unless the green of all things agrees to watch all living things on the entire earth perish, the red of all living beings destroyed, and face the black of decay alone, otherwise it cannot stop all living beings. Red is a de facto expansion.”

"When the entire earth sinks into the bottom of the sea, and all living things become the red creation of all living things, Batman must be willing to draw power from these creatures to fight the Anti-Monitor, even if he is not willing. Even though..."

Ye Xiao paused, he only hesitated for a moment, and then continued firmly.

"Although this would most likely cause those beings possessed by the Red to go completely berserk, in effect they would all become like the Bat. low-level spokespersons, and this means that these spokespersons can become better batteries than ordinary people.”

"And I will assume the role of the Speed ​​Force center, and through my clone help Batman distribute the so-called 'pressure' you call to every creature on this planet... But I still don't understand why you said it's possible for Batman reject?"

Starro, the conqueror of the universe, said: "After you told me before, I thought about it for a long time, but I still don't quite understand your concerns."

"Although I have never met Batman, but if this universe is going to face the Anti-Monitor, shouldn't Batman go all out to use everything he can?"

"You have helped him prepare so many materials and weapons to fight against the Anti-Monitor. If it were me, I would not refuse your help at all."

Starro's words made Ye Xiao somewhat silent.

"Yes, if it were you, if it were me, I would have absolutely no hesitation in letting all creatures in the world become my 'battery' without even having to do anything on my part. If I were Batman, I would have done that a long time ago. "So you think Batman had a similar plan before?"

"Not really, I mean, at this point, Batman isn't going to make any preparations."

"I don't understand."

"Batman thinks he has a bottom line." Night Owl said: "Turning those innocent creatures into red creations of all living beings will most likely cause irreversible devastating consequences to them. At worst, it may also cause lasting consequences. There's no way Batman would do something like this, it's not a superhero thing in his opinion."

"But the world is about to end."

"Here's the problem. Whether it's Superman or Batman, they always refuse to face the fact that we have to sacrifice a small number of people to accomplish a greater cause. They always think there is a better way to solve all this, they always think they There are options, but this is ultimately a form of huge arrogance and ignorance.”

Night Owl said: "I'm sure Batman must be trying to convince Orm, and I'm sure he will never agree to such behavior. We never had a choice. All we can choose is to try our best..."

"play hard!"

……

……

……

"?!??"

Arthur, the king of the sea, held his head. He put his arm around Batman's shoulders and whispered to him: "Om was just born in Atlantis and is different from the land people in terms of culture and form, but he is not a fool.

Sooner or later he will find out the truth. If you lie to him so blatantly, it will only make things worse if he finds out. "

"What are you whispering, brother?" Om said next to him.

"Yes, yes, look at what he said, 'What are you whispering, brother?' This guy is like an opera singer from Shakespeare's stage play." Chen Tao said: "Lord Orm cannot Understand our world, Arthur. The rules by which our world operates are as elusive to him as data and code."

"I don't intend to scornfully call him a primitive man, because this concept is relative. In his view, we are also savage primitive people."

Chen Tao whispered to Neptune King Arthur: "So change the concept, Arthur, use your brain, and talk to him in words that Orm can understand."

"The King of Atlantis."

Chen Tao said: "I pay my highest respect to you."

Orm didn't speak. He looked at his brother and then at Batman in front of him. He still didn't understand what was going on.

"Out of Atlantean etiquette, don't you plan to return the greetings of another king?"

The next second, Orm was greeted by Batman's aggressive questioning.

"..."

Chen Tao's face darkened: "It seems that Atlantis is not a civilized country."

"That's enough. I pay my respects to you, King of Land. But this will not change my attitude towards coming to investigate this time. And..."

He looked at the confused Arthur standing next to him: "And how dare you make an Atlantean royal family surrender to you -"

"You'd better figure it out, Prince Orm." Chen Tao interrupted him rudely: "The great King of the Ocean, Lord of Atlantis, Arthur Curry visited my kingdom, he just Settled here for a short period of time.”

Chen Tao stretched out his hand and pointed at the Xuelang base behind him:

"And make long-term efforts to establish peaceful intercourse between Atlantis and the land kingdoms."

"On the contrary, you...I heard that you call yourself the King of the Ocean. What on earth is going on?"

Chen Tao spoke more like an Atlantean than an Atlantean. He grabbed Arthur, the King of the Sea, who didn't understand the situation, and then continued:
"I heard that the law of Atlantis is that only the eldest son of the previous king can inherit Atlantis. I thought it was the King of Atlantis who had been establishing peace negotiations with me, and you are a what's the situation?"

He said: "There are two kings in Atlantis now?"

Then he turned his head and faced Sea King Arthur: "Did your brother blatantly seek power and usurp the throne while you were leaving Atlantis and negotiating with us?"

Orm opened his mouth to speak, but Chen Tao pointed at him: "Your brother ignores the laws of Atlantis?"

Then he suddenly showed an expression of realization: "Did he lead the marine army this time to kill his own brother to silence him, so that he could ascend to the throne? A dirty political struggle - conducted in the form of murder and war?"

Then he turned to look at Lord Orm: "Previously, an extreme Atlantis organization calling itself the Hong Beast attacked the land, causing the death of countless civilians and soldiers. With the mediation of the King of Atlantis, Arthur, I forgive Atlantis and am willing to sign a friendly alliance with you."

"I deeply understand that the extreme Atlanteans cannot represent the entire Atlantis. I think I am a sufficiently enlightened and rational king."

"But what about you? What reward have I received for my kindness, restraint, and friendly attitude?"

"Honestly, you two confused me."

His face darkened:
"If you Atlanteans are full of betrayals, conspiracies, and cruel blood murders, Arthur, how do you want me to believe what you said that the land can make peace with Atlantis?"

He pushed Sea King Arthur away: "This is your younger brother who wants to seek power and usurp the throne. It's best for you brothers to resolve the dispute over the throne of Atlantis and then talk to me."

He said: "The king of land should only talk to another king. At that time, whether it is war or peace, it will all depend on this new king of Atlantis."

"So Prince Orm, King Arthur, who is the King of the Ocean? I need you to give me a definite answer, now."

Aquaman Arthur was pushed forward by Batman, and he came face to face with Lord Orm.

What Batman did made his head a little confused, and he subconsciously said: "Om, you..."

Plop.

Lord Orm knelt down on one knee.

"According to the laws of Atlantis, brother, you should be the king of Atlantis. I have no intention of usurping the throne."
