What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 448: You will eventually encounter an enemy that you cannot defeat despite your best efforts (5200 words long chapter)
"What happened?"

"Quick, quick! Raise! Raise the suspension bridge! Protect the totems!"

"what!!!"

In the screams of a Red Warrior of All Beings, the Blood Cultist tore off his leopard head. These creatures with animal heads and human bodies, long bird wings, and holding weapons are creatures that have used the power of the souls of all living beings in the past generations. After death, they entered the red Hades of all living beings and were reincarnated into warriors.

For example, users like Killer Croc and Human-Faced Bat will become them after death under normal circumstances.

There can only be one King of Life in each generation, but there can be as many users of the Red of All Beings, so the number of Red of All Beings warriors is still relatively considerable.

Their force value is not bad, but the problem is that they are the creations of the Red of All Beings. When faced with another user of the Red Power of All Beings who has higher authority than them, they can only... be completely defeated.

"Pathetic creatures, how dare you attack me! I am flesh and blood!"

Soon the Red Army of All Beings was defeated. The red warriors of all beings waved their wings and retreated toward the palace of the Totem Council in a panic.

"Damn it, we're too late, we don't have time to close the suspension bridge!"

He stepped on the blood, and strands of blood spread out from his palms, mobilizing the blood of the red warriors who had died like the veins of blood vessels, creating a route as dense as a spider web under his feet.

The Blood Cult Master also took this opportunity to manipulate blood vessels like lightning to tear open the flesh and blood barrier formed by the totems.

This magical trident of Lord Orm is, to a certain extent, the same as Arthur's, possessing the ability to command the sea.

"Brother Totem, what did you do...ahhhh!!!"

Even though the Bat Mage synchronized with Chen Tao does not actually understand the water magic unique to Atlantis, he can still mobilize part of the sea water just by relying on this weapon called the Trident, which is actually a casting staff... At least To prevent some people from wanting to cross Orm and launch a tsunami.

"So - let me ask again. Can we talk now?"

As soon as Lord Orm thought of this, he saw Batman's face turn green, and then three pink dots lit up on his forehead.

"Oh, the facts are before us, brothers and sisters, as you can see, I chose this man, and I told him the way to enter the red of all living beings, in order to achieve great things."

"Bold, you..." Rhinoceros Totem wanted to say something more, but as the Blood Cult Leader raised his arm, the entire red hall shook like an earthquake, and then collapsed.

Damn it, if his magic trident hadn't been stolen before this happened——

"You could have chosen me. If we joined hands with the Red of All Beings, we could have controlled the four directions and achieved real hegemony! Great Totem Council, fellow totems... You may be able to fool your pathetic incarnations, but I have figured it out long ago. You guys are just a bunch of little animals that shrink and panic in front of the real power!”

He crushed the opponent's throat and threw it to the ground.

For a moment, Orm felt that his blood pressure was about to explode. He hurriedly interrupted Batman:

Following the death scream of the totem spirit, the antlers totem pulled out the claws that had penetrated the opponent's back with an expressionless expression.

Soon, there were piles of corpses at the entrance of the hall, and no one could stop the blood leader.

"I ask again, do you still want to stop me?"

"Part of the power of the Red of All Beings was eroded by him. This can never be done out of thin air!" Rhino Totem said: "Whether it is technological means or magic, although it is possible to connect to the Red of All Beings, it is absolutely impossible to capture it. With such a huge red power of all living beings, this is even close to the King of Life! Someone must be hindering it, we must..."

"I abdicate."

"Where are you? Where is the ruler of this place? I will let you know that you should fear me!"

"No, I gave it to my brother! Arthur! My brother Arthur!"

Immediately after the blood leader howled, several huge bone spurs penetrated the two crocodile-headed men who were running desperately on the bridge:

In the ruins, countless red blood veins were held in the hands of the Blood Cult like lightning. The many totems of the Totem Council gathered together and jointly held up a protective shield made of flesh and blood to resist the falling building debris.

……

"I'm just doing my duty. I'm fed up with you old fools who only choose children and liars to be your avatars. You also give in to Batman in every possible way, so much so that you let him regard the Red of All Beings as anything he wants. , the back garden where you can walk wherever you want.

A large number of Atlantis warriors had floated up from the water, and they looked at their king blankly.

The rhinoceros totem turned around suddenly and looked at the antlers totem.

You have allowed the Red of All Living Beings to succumb to the shadow of the Rotten Kingdom and the Green of All Things. This will no longer be the case. The time has come for the Red of All Living Beings to rise. And Blood Cult Leader...you are my warrior! "

……

In the end Lord Orm could only take off his helmet.

He raised his head and saw in the main hall, several red totem spirits of all living beings. Their majestic and huge bodies were high in the red hall.

"How is this possible? This is the Red of All Beings, our domain!"

Okay, no more teasing fools.

A wild boar totem with a humanoid appearance said:
"His powers...where did he get them?"

As a shrinking light belonging to Brainiac flashed, Chen Tao took out the magic trident belonging to Lord Orm from behind his butt: "Om has given me the throne of Atlantis. ——”

Chen Tao curled his lips.

Lord Orm had almost forgotten about Batman holding his magic trident: "Which ear did you hear that?!?!"

Two crocodile-headed men tried in vain to raise the suspension bridge.

"What? It turns out you didn't give it to me." He heard Batman say: "But you just said it yourself."

"It's too late!"

The Blood King pinched the neck of a Red Warrior of All Beings and lifted him high:

……

Who are you looking at? I'm talking about you, Night Owl.

Chen Tao's peripheral vision swept through the many Atlantis fleets and warriors on the sea level. It was still unclear whether Ye Xiao had made any preparations.

But in fact, if you think about it from another perspective, if Chen Tao was Night Owl and he wanted to plan all this, he would definitely prepare a plan after the failure of Lord Orm, especially since Orm has no resistance at all to his brother Arthur. in the case of.

"Om, those people you brought are your die-hard loyalists, and they will not obey my orders."

Arthur said.

But his words were immediately refuted by his own brother:
"They obeyed the laws of the Atlanteans."

"That's because you are willing to abide by the laws of Atlantis. Orm, don't extend your own moral level to all those under you." Chen Tao said.

"I will accompany you to let your men return to Atlantis first, and this ridiculous war will stop here." Arthur said.

Chen Tao glanced at the other party. Why wouldn't the people under Lord Orm obey Arthur's orders? He is the King of Atlantis, who dares not to obey?

Arthur just found an excuse to ask Lord Orm to return to Atlantis with the Atlantis fleet.

He was afraid that Batman would ask Orm to go to jail for what he had done. In the original comic plot, Orm killed too many people, so Arthur could not protect him. But now, Orm just wants to take action, but does not actually implement it. At the same time, the live broadcast has been cut off, without causing any substance. Of course, Arthur hopes to send Orm back to Atlantis rather than suffer other consequences.

In this regard, Chen Tao’s opinion is:
What are you thinking? You overestimate my moral standards.

What he said was to Orm and also to Arthur. Arthur is a typical person who puts his own moral principles on the head of his old bat, but for Chen Tao, there is absolutely nothing pedantic about "crimes that do not result in established facts are also crimes that require jail time" and are full of procedural justice. idea.

Does the government have any objections? Does the Pentagon have an opinion? so what?
Wait, no one thinks that Chen Tao will confront the government people head-on over this kind of thing, right? Of course not. What is the purpose of Batleniac's telepathy? No matter how big the opinion is, if even the memory has been wiped out, then what's the point of dispute?
After all, Chen Tao is fully capable of flattening and rounding the people in the government. He will not mess up the situation just because of the stupid idea of ​​"I can't change other people's minds."

Of course……

Chen Tao watched Arthur and Lord Orm walking towards the Atlantean fleet.

Of course, if he were Night Owl, things wouldn't end so easily, he was sure...

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!!!!"

In an instant, violent screams suddenly sounded in the Atlantean fleet.

An Atlantis soldier desperately grabbed his throat, and then black burrs sprouted one after another on his palms and cheeks.

The sharp nails grew wildly and pierced his own throat in an instant, but in just one breath, the wound healed and disappeared.

His nose and muzzle stretched and stretched, beginning to develop in the direction of a canine, and then there was a howl that was not like a human voice.

"What the f*ck is going on."

Chen Tao cursed.

He turned his head and asked suddenly into the air: "What did you do, Night Owl?"

There was little response. "Stop pretending, Night Owl, nanobots are just the rest of my fun."

Chen Tao said.

He raised his hand, and the broken bats moved synchronously with the silver-white examples on his body. Black sand spread in the air, and in an instant, some tiny blue dots appeared in the air. Those were the nanorobots controlled by Night Owl that were forced to condense in the air by Chen Tao's nanorobots.

Soon, those blue nanorobots condensed into half of the night owl's blue face in mid-air.

"Bruce," the face said, "I'm helping you. Please, don't do that."

"I don't think so." Chen Tao said.

"You have almost guessed my plan, haven't you?" Night Owl said: "As long as the tsunami from Atlantis floods the land, you will soon have more than 80 billion small killers strengthened by the red power of all living beings. Crocodile, the help they can provide you is far greater than the millions of Atlanteans you are currently trying to plan."

"If the victory over Atlantis is based on everyone -"

"You know very well that the change in the Redness of All Beings is not an irreversible change."

Night Owl said: "Once they are restored, it will still be the world you like."

"Many people will die. Those who can't bear the red power of sentient beings, those who can't bear my share of power, and even those who are accidentally drowned due to their position after transforming animals... too many. life."

"So what?" Ye Xiao said: "You reject my plan just because of this? If the whole world is about to be destroyed, what's the point of insisting on these damn bottom lines?"

Night Owl on the other side seemed a little angry, and then he took a deep breath:

"Listen to me Batman, do you think you are very proud? You have seen through my plan and you can solve all problems. You feel like you are omnipotent and like a god. You feel that you are extremely smart and intelligent and can solve it. All the problems in the world?”

"Bat, I know these things too well, I know these things too well...because I used to be this kind of person."

Night Owl is even somewhat sincere: "I am invincible in my universe, calling the wind and rain, just like you have done now. The plans I have made have never failed. My brain is active and intelligent, and I can always think about the enemy." Where you want to be and respond in advance.”

"Except for my failure with Dick Grayson the Claw... I have never failed. Even against those with super powers."

"Supermaster, Super Queen, although they are naturally powerful monsters, I have them at my fingertips."

"...But you have never seen what despair means, right? You have never encountered an enemy in your life that you cannot defeat even with all your strength."

"But I've seen it, I've seen it. That's why I made these plans. I lost, and I lost miserably. As long as this incident can survive, as long as there is a little hope of defeating that guy... the so-called morality And the bottom line is something that can be thrown away casually.”

"So I tell you from the bottom of my heart: Agree to my plan, and then we will work together to see if we can defeat the Anti-Monitor. Do you agree?"

Then he saw Batman tilt his head slightly.

"What you said is true, you are telling the truth."

"Yes."

Ye Xiao said: "So what's your decision?"

"In other words, if I am willing to implement your plan, can you help me get 80 billion 'trackers' who can share the pressure?"

"Yes, and as long as you are willing to cooperate with me, we have the ability to minimize casualties. Although all transformed humans will become red beasts without brains, as long as you cooperate, I can make them Most of them have gills so that if they are accidentally trapped in a bad position, they will not drown."

"Bat, I have made the best offer. This is not for me, but for your universe... maybe a little for mine," Ye Xiao said.

He saw Batman lower his head and said nothing, which briefly gave him a little hope.

"But, I refuse. What I like most is saying no to self-righteous people."

But then, this hope was immediately shattered.

Night Owl's face darkened.

"That doesn't matter." He said: "There is no tsunami that floods the whole world to assist transformation. Letting beastmen attack ordinary people to transform them is also an implementable plan. It's just that this plan is more bloody and cruel than the tsunami plan. But it's your choice, Batman, you..."

Then he met Batman's indifferent eyes.

Night Owl realized something. He fell silent.

After a while, he said: "The Blood Cult Master can solve the Totem Council."

"Blood Cult Master? Who is that? In short, it should be the 'dark side of the red of all living beings' who is under your influence and control. Let me understand it that way."

Chen Tao said:

"Yes, he can indeed solve the Totem Council."

Then he paused and said:
"But he can't solve the Justice League."

He almost felt pity: "I really want to see what the scene was like at that time."

"You're stupid, Batman."

He heard the voice of the night owl.

"You have no idea what you are doing...you...you will eventually encounter an enemy that you can't defeat even with all your strength, Batman."

Chen Tao turned his head.

……

……

……

Paradise Island.

"Ahhhhhhh, Diana! This battery compartment is too painful! By the way, what is a battery?"

"Sisters, I know this is difficult, but if we have no choice, this may be our last choice. Listen to me, inhale, exhale, it feels like you are lifting a thousand-weight stone lock... I know you can do this - sorry, I'll take a call."

"The kind of thing that can deliver letters in an instant like Hermes (the twelve main gods of Olympus, who has the function of a messenger)?"

Diana didn't have time to answer the questions from her Amazon sisters, so she turned on the communicator:
"Batman?"

"Diana, I need your emergency support..."

Pentagon.

"General Swanwick (Martian Manhunter's false identity) The files here... General Swanwick?"

When Martian Manhunter's female secretary opened the door and walked in, she only saw an empty desk and an open window next to it.

There is a note on the table that says:

I'll be back soon.

"But the meeting will start in three minutes. What about your speech? General?" the female secretary shouted, "Isn't it?"

Kansas.

Kent Farm…

Clark in the field trying to fly again...

Gotham City, Botanical Garden.

Poison Ivy, who was trying to cultivate a wood cycad (an endangered plant with dioecious species), took out her cell phone...

Central City.

Interstellar Labs.

Barry is constantly trying to speed up on the cosmic treadmill, but he's never fast enough.

This was strange, Batman had told him that every Flash had the ability to travel through time, and he had been mastering his powers for years.

He should have mastered this ability, but that limit is always in front of him, and he can't break through it no matter what.

Sisko and Catherine were helping. They were collecting experimental data, but soon Batman's face appeared on the computer in the Star Lab:

"Barry, we may need your help here. Can you put aside what you are doing and come back?"

"Oh, by the way... help pick up our teammates."
