What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 490: SS-Class Female Batman: Drowned Soul

Chapter 490: SS-Class Female Batman: Drowned Soul (5000 words long chapter)
"Ah I?"

boom!
Aquaman Arthur's expression changed, and he swung his trident, as if he wanted to hit Anton Arcane who was suddenly jumping towards Batman with a backhand, but a beam of heat vision got there before him and burned the kryptonite blade installed on his trident into ashes.

"you……"

Arthur couldn't say a word before he was knocked away by General Zod who rushed over like a cannonball:
"You may have seen a Kryptonian before... but I bet Kal-El would never kill you—"

Arthur was distracted and left wide open, and in an instant Zod punched him, leaving his face covered in blood.

The two men came up from the basement here, smashing the ground dozens of meters deep like a piece of tofu, and left the scene directly to fight in the more open space on the ground.

Chen Tao walked back and protected the fragile mage Meila in front of him.

He thought slowly.

...People always infer others' next actions based on their usual cognition of them. They used General Zod's obsession with reshaping Krypton to mislead me, and then took this opportunity to launch a sneak attack -

It was not a physical attack, but a magical damage. It was the barrel theory! The amount of water a barrel could hold depended on the shortest board. Anton Arcane found the shortest board that could cause the most damage to me.

When I was injured and weak, I asked General Zod to lead Aquaman away... leaving only Mera and I.

All of this is a very wise strategy, but the premise is...

I have to be weak.

This plan doesn't seem to be planned by Anton Arcane alone. I don't look down on the master of the Black of Decay. Even the swamp monsters can't contend with his power.

But this development, which has an extremely clear direction...the fact that the dark multiverse will never have a good development, was deliberately placed in front of me in a mocking way.

There has never been a "bad development" so blatant. The Anti-Monitor must have frightened Zod, making him realize that he is an invincible enemy, so Zod surrendered like this.

But he still deliberately made Zod appear to be trying to resurrect his Kryptonian compatriots, giving me the false illusion that things could be resolved peacefully, and then struck back when necessary... a slap in the face with the steel glove.

He was trying to attack my mind. Someone was trying to induce negative emotions in me. But fortunately, anger, sadness, disappointment, rage, and all these emotions related to humans...

Still under my control.

Chen Tao covered the horrifying wound on his chest. Within just a few seconds, the wound was wrapped with a large amount of metal threads and then safely protected.

He gave the order to Meila: "Control the water of the Lazarus Pool."

"I can not do it……"

Meila said: "Some kind of magic... a kind of spatial isolation?"

The water of the Lazarus Pool rose up under Meira's control, as if wanting to drench Anton Archain once again. However, the water did not cause any harm to Archain as before, but passed through Archain's body like an image created by a 3D projection.

"He sucked all the water from the Lazarus Pool into the Black Dimension of Decay."

"So, although this pool of green water still appears to be there, it is already a mirage."

Chen Tao was indifferent.

That's right, if it were him, he certainly wouldn't be so foolish as to leave this pool of water posing a threat to him.

Now that the self-torture tactic has been used, after using it to hurt Batman, it is natural to activate the previously prepared plan to remove the pool water from the battle.

Chen Tao retreated quickly.

He must leave this area first and then find Aquaman Arthur. Of course, he must bring Mela with him.

The most famous ability of the Black of Corruption is transformation, and this transformation is almost unmatched when the Black of Corruption is at its strongest.

In the "Rotten Kingdom" event, Anton Akane transformed almost all the heroes in the world, including Wonder Woman, Superman, and the Flash...

Anyone who fights him and gets a scratch on his skin will be corrupted and turned into a corpse. The degree of contagion is even comparable to that of a Black Lantern Corpse. Even a Black Lantern Corpse must have a host wear a Black Lantern Ring in order to transform others, and Arkain's Black of Decay is even faster than this.

Although at this time Akain's Corrupted Nation was not as strong as it was after it devoured the Swamp Monster, the agent of the Green of All Things, and Maxine, the King of Life, the agent of the Red of All Things, in the "Advent of the Corrupted Nation" period, if he were to infect Mera, things would become more complicated.

Chen Tao's face had already shown some signs of being eroded by the Black of Decay. What he didn't know was that he had slightly overestimated Anton Akan. The Lord of the Black of Decay didn't have the ability to erode Chen Tao and Meila at the same time.

Because all energy is conserved, Chen Tao only saw Anton Arcane corrupting others at will in the comics he read, so he subconsciously confused Arcane, who had devoured the red and green natural forces, with him who had not;
For Arcane, the most important thing now is of course to corrupt or harm Batman as much as possible, so that he can weaken Batman as much as possible before the final battle breaks out for the Anti-Monitor. This is the greatest significance of this battle. He can help the Anti-Monitor increase his chances of winning and make his victory foolproof.

Meira extracted moisture from the air and condensed a huge blade made of water in the air, but it still failed to stop Arkain who jumped over like a skinned frog.

He looks ugly and disgusting, but he moves as fast as the wind and lightning.

Even if he didn't devour Red and Green, his power was still not to be underestimated. It was much stronger than his ugly appearance made it seem. The water blade created by Meila and the vortex-like water spear hidden behind the water blade did not cause any injuries to Akai. Akai jumped on Chen Tao and tried to push their battlefield underground:

"Batman!"

He swung his claws and grabbed the nanorobot on Chen Tao's chest, causing it to explode:

"I'm glad you accepted my invitation, even though you've delayed it for too long!"

"I heard you were busy playing the role of a shepherd...some kind of savior, then you know what I'm going to say!"

"You're always just going in circles. I feel so sorry for you!"

Mera saw Batman struggling violently. He tried to fly upwards like a dragon, but eventually he fell to the ground like a bird with broken wings.

"Batman, what's your plan?"

Mera controlled the water blade, which was mixed with kryptonite, and fiercely cut the corpse of the Kryptonian who rushed towards him. Even though the corpse had just been pierced by Aquaman Arthur with the kryptonite-sheathed blade, with Anton Arcane's personal action, it now crawled up from the ground again like a puppet finding a new operator.

"my plan?"

Then Mera heard Batman's voice: "Find Arthur and seek rescue..."

"Your communication has been cut off." Anton Akan grinned, his hands pinching Batman's neck:

"Did you think we wouldn't have expected it? So we wouldn't have expected you to gather the Justice League to besiege us?"

"Run away first, Mera." Mera heard Batman say, "Get to a safe place first, and then I need you to bear the burden for me-"

"Worried about your friends? No, of course you wouldn't do that. I know you use your lackeys to power you up. I've seen you do that before."

Arcane said, "So you must have discovered that the surrounding space is blocked by the Black of Decay, and the flow of the Speed Force is stagnant, right?"

He said, "Do you think that after seeing your abilities, the Anti-Monitor won't take effective countermeasures?"

Batman was silent for a moment:

"I drew too little speed force. If I had drawn a lot of speed force in advance to form a torrent, this barrier would not have been able to do anything to me."

"Then you never expected that we would kill you from the beginning. You didn't have time to establish a connection with the Speed Force in the first place, so you can't connect at all now, Batman!"

Anton Akan grabbed Batman by the neck and lifted him up:
"It's useless to say anything now. Don't faint so quickly, Batman. I want you to be awake and witness what happens next. I want you to watch me tear your last bit of resistance into pieces!"

He said: "Just like you once supported Bane to seize my power... When I kill you, I will kill Bane, you thieves who stole my power. I have killed countless agents of the Black of Decay besides me. You are all as hateful as my niece..."

(Note: The person Anton Arkan mentioned here is Abigail Arkan, the Queen of the Black of Decay. She is actually the real mistress of the Black of Decay who is the counterpart to the Swamp Monster of the Law of All Things and Maxine of the Red of All Beings. Anton Arkan merely stole a large amount of the Black of Decay's power and surpassed his niece in power.)
Meila's face looked a little ugly.

He saw Batman looking at him, and then he heard Arcane's voice:
"Come on, you don't care about your teammates at all. To you, she is just a portable battery."

"I will take you to find Arthur." Mela heard Batman say: "Then you will be responsible for protecting him. I will extract some of his power and help us get out of this predicament..."

boom! ! !
As Batman spoke, a silver-white light appeared on his body, and the sharp bone spurs of the Ravager flashed on his body for a moment. It was also with this brief synchronization power that Batman, with Akain holding his neck, broke through the ceiling of the basement and broke into a larger battlefield. Mela hurriedly followed.

Her heart sank to the bottom. If it was just Anton Akan, she wouldn't have such thoughts. However, Anton Akan's words showed that all of this was planned by the Anti-Monitor.

"You always show your arrogance in the wrong places. You always think you know your enemies, but you don't know everything."

Meila heard what Akan said:
"Look, you never took me seriously, did you? Never thought I was a dangerous person, you never thought I was a threat, you never thought that General Zod might not obey your orders. Such thoughts never entered your poor brain, you took your victory for granted, you always focused on those characters who you thought were more dangerous, the Anti-Monitor, Darkseid, Superboy-Prime..."

They broke through the surface and landed on the ground. The area around them was a jungle with few people. Only around the building there was a large open space where all the trees had been destroyed by the aftermath of the battle.

Then Meira saw General Zod riding on Aquaman Arthur, whose face and body were covered in blood.

His own blood.

There is no doubt that General Zod is killing with all his might, just like Batman in the dark multiverse who initially tried to attack Superman with a kryptonite spear, but his arm was cut off by his heat vision and he had to inject himself with the destructive virus. Once the Kryptonians are prepared for kryptonite weapons, the threat that such things can pose to them will be reduced in an instant.

"Batman!"

He looked in astonishment at how Batman was held in Arcane's hand like a dead dog. He had thought that this scene should be the other way around.

Then he saw Mela rushing towards him, he heard his lover screaming, almost losing her mind and using water to cut at his back. He turned his head sharply and saw General Zod waving the Trident of Aquaman and stabbing it at his back.

He turned his back and gripped the tip of the trident tightly. He felt the blade of the trident cut through the flesh on his palm, making a creepy sound of friction on his bones.

"Arthur! Think of a way!"

Aquaman heard Batman's voice: "Think of a way!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!"

He roared, and actually used brute force to push away General Zod's trident. Then he clenched his fist and knocked General Zod flying backwards, smashing countless huge towering ancient trees like weeds.

Mela's eyes glowed blue, and she remotely summoned a large amount of water from the surrounding lakes. Arkan put down the "seriously injured" Batman, with a solemn look on his face.

He seemed to have underestimated this female sorceress who controlled the water flow. Although he used the arrangement of time to ban the Pool of Lazarus, it was impossible for him to have thought of incorporating all the water from several surrounding lakes into the spatial shield of the Black of Decay.

He hadn't expected that Meila could summon so much water from such a distance. This water must be...

"I am Meira, I control the water!"

The rushing water flow was summoned by Meila like a tsunami and flew high into the sky from afar. Countless water flows carried a large amount of mud and sand, and surrounded Meila like steel cables. She stepped on the waves and held the ocean current in her hands. In such a battlefield with water on the ground, Meila played to her greatest strengths.

The roaring water condensed into a giant water knife over 40 meters long, and swung towards Akai. But before that...

Meila screamed, her attention was all on attacking Akain and she didn't even notice the black gas coming out of the fish and shrimps that were swept to his side by the water flow.

A crab that seemed to be completely controlled by the Black of Decay was hidden among a pile of normal crabs. It jumped onto Mera's back before she could react, swung its claws, and pierced her tough Atlantean skin in an instant, injecting the black power of the Black of Decay into Mera's body.

Meila screamed and fell to the ground. The rushing water disappeared in an instant.

Akan was stunned.

I did this? Why didn't I have a plan for this?
? He was a little confused, but Arthur, who was standing next to him, saw his wife lying there, and Batman slumped there like a dead dog, and his eyes turned red in a blink of an eye.

He pounced towards Akain like a mad tiger, but soon bumped into a man with red eyes.

"I'm sorry," General Zod said. "I'm afraid I have to do this."

Arthur butted his head into Zod's chest, but his powerful biological stance made Arthur's headbutt ineffective.

With one punch, the exhausted Arthur was hit like an iron plow, plowing the ground for dozens of meters, and the ground exploded like a bomb.

He rushed back and was hit harder. This time General Zod caught his arm and knocked his head high up.

The transformation spell that Zatanna cast on him finally reached its limit, and Arthur's fish-headed form appeared in front of Zod.

Seeing that Arthur had not lost consciousness yet, General Zod punched him again, and countless fish scales flew out like shrapnel.

"Batman...you..."

Aquaman was breathing heavily, he felt that he had been forced into a desperate situation.

He tried to seek help from Batman, but he only saw Batman lying there silently, like a dead bat.

"Batman can't help you, he can't help anyone," said General Zod.

Then he turned to look at Arkain, and then his eyes fell on Meila, who had been corroded by the black of decay: "Nice sneak attack."

Arkan frowned. He wanted to explain to General Zod that the crab controlled by the Black of Decay was not his creation, but he couldn't figure out what happened just now without his control over the Black of Decay's creations.
"See how you struggle feebly against the inevitable, defeated by an enemy you despise, like a fish pulled out of water, lying helpless in the mud. How pitiful."

General Zod turned his gaze back to Batman who was lying there.

"I really wish Kal-El could see you now. You made me miserable when we first met. You banished me to the Phantom Zone again..."

Red hot rays shot out of his eyes, burning the place where Batman was lying into a sea of fire.

"Zod, the Anti-Monitor needs the secrets and power of Batman, and we can't kill him just yet."

"I know Arcane, but you don't know Batman."

General Zod said, and inexplicably the image of Superman's mother who was so heartless in front of him emerged in his mind, and his face darkened.

He continued:
“Even if he was defeated, he would be planning something in secret.

"Believe me, he looks so powerless right now, but he might be preparing some extremely disgusting tricks."

For example, Superman's thick phlegm. General Zod tried hard to forget it, but when Batman's conspiracy was mentioned, this past memory played repeatedly in his mind.

"Rather than being forced to face his tricks later, it would be wiser to completely disable him now..."

He added: “More sensible… and more satisfying.”

Chen Tao lay on the ground in the classic death posture of Longzhu Yamcha, his eyes fixed on the silver-white words on his retina:

【warn! warn! Anchored item detected:]

[Aquaman's exploded fish scales]

[Warning, please hold the anchoring object immediately. ]

[Warning, Batman files have been found that this anchoring item can target]

【Drowning Ghosts】

[Danger Level: SS-]

Damn, after all this effort, I finally achieved my goal.

Chen Tao sat up from the ground, feeling pain all over his body.

damn it.
