What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 519: The wildly laughing night owl destroys his entire family!
"Night Owl, we have intercepted all the nuclear bombs."

Lady Styx floated down to the ground, and beside her, the Demon of Despair carried the last nuclear bomb and dropped it lightly to the ground.

This kind of Earth weapon is very powerful, but it is very bulky compared to the energy weapons of the War World or other races in the universe. It doesn't take much effort for Lady Styx and Despair to deal with these things.

"Nite Owl?"

Ms. Styx pressed the communicator: "Can you hear me?"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, of course."

The Night Owl on the other end of the communication finally spoke, and Ms. Styx heard the other party say in a strange tone that she had never heard before: "Something happened over here."

"What's going on?" Despair asked. "Don't tell me you let Luther get away in this situation. And what's wrong with your voice?"

"Luther stabbed me, and the wound on my neck left me—"

"Oh, fragile mortal." Lady Styx interrupted Night Owl. The disdain in her heart was almost beyond words, and she couldn't even maintain the respect she had forced herself to show before.

Both Night Owl and Despair wisely ignored this episode. Night Owl continued, "But Luther escaped? No, of course not. That's another question."

"Luthor's nuclear bomb is just a cover, a means to delay time. When the nuclear bomb is activated, it will also activate the backup plan he left in all the propulsion towers he has handled, which will cause problems in the process of advancing our universe."

"How many problems can there be?" Despair said, "Your wisdom is commendable, Night Owl. Luthor has no ability to leave a backdoor under your nose that would put our universe in danger. Didn't you tell us so?"

Despair does not want to be aggressive. Although he is also the ruler of a terrifying empire, his character is more sinister and cunning than Lady Styx.

Among all people, he always packaged himself as harmless, and even played a role in lubricating the relationship between Night Owl and those allies of the cosmic overlords.

This would provide him with good help in replacing Night Owl in the future. Therefore, it was very useful for him to manage the relationship with Night Owl well...at least before they completely fell out.

His question was met with a moment of silence from Night Owl: "Luther certainly didn't do it, but someone else did."

"Who?"

"Batman."

Ms. Styx and the Demon of Despair looked at each other.

"You just need to tell me what the current situation is." Ms. Styx interrupted him impatiently: "I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

"Luther's dirty tricks will prevent our propulsion tower from connecting to the planet's core."

Night Owl said: "This will have devastating consequences and make it impossible for our universe to accelerate."

"What did you say?"

It seemed that Lady Styx and Despair understood: "Does this mean that we can't lead the entire universe to escape?"

"I'm afraid so. Batman has backed up Luthor by destroying the magic circuit structure of each propulsion tower. Let's attend the meeting first. I have summoned all the allies. It's still the same place where we held the meeting before. This time it's not a communication meeting... Everyone's real body will be present."

Night Owl hung up the phone, and Ms. Styx and the Demon of Despair looked at each other, and both saw the anxiety in each other's eyes.

The Despair can no longer pretend to be a good guy. They are strong, stronger than most creatures in their universe, and this is because the stronger they are, the more they understand how terrible the Anti-Monitor is and how stupid it is to fight him.

They thought they could discuss it calmly and continue to be domineering in the new world. But the accident before them would threaten their lives, which were already safe. How could they not be upset?
With the opening of the teleportation portal, it only took a few seconds for Despair and Lady Styx to appear in the hall together, and at this moment almost everyone in the hall had gathered.

Soul Eater squatted in the corner, Galaxy Puppet sent out his own energy-condensed clone, and Starro also sent his own clone, Starfish, to attend the meeting.

At this time, Night Owl sat silently in the main seat of the conference room with a serious look.

"Night Owl, you told me we could escape." The Despair Demon suppressed his anger and questioned the other party in a low voice: "You must give an explanation for this!"

"Yes, I told you, but things have changed."

The Despair Demon's questioning elicited a fearless response from Night Owl. Although the Despair Demon could tear the Night Owl into pieces with just a stretch of his hand, Night Owl acted as if he was the one who could kill the other in an instant:
“I just told you that we have a high probability of escaping, but we cannot rule out the possibility of failure.

And at that time, in exchange, you will provide the strength you have to help us overcome the difficulties together."

But this argument obviously could not convince everyone present. They were a group of tyrants and villains. Their patience was almost exhausted. Night Owl stopped beating around the bush and said:
"So now I need you to actively connect to the magic network of the entire universe and use your own power to guide the power of the planetary star into the propulsion tower to replace the effect of the original magic circuit."

"That means we become conductors of energy, which is dangerous for us."

"A conductor of a small amount of energy. I will first manipulate the planet's heart to release a little energy, and then let it flow through your body. Once it is connected to the propulsion tower, I will slowly increase the power, and then you can leave."

Ms. Styx heard Night Owl say, "This is the only way. It is also one of the backup plans I prepared in advance to deal with the damage to the Advance Tower. We can only talk about other things after we ensure our survival."

"This is dangerous for us." The clone of the Galaxy Puppet said slowly. Although he sometimes seemed irritable and easily angered, he seemed surprisingly calm on these issues. He even didn't say a word from just now until now. He just watched Night Owl and Despair Demon and the others talking with cold eyes.

"Yes, you are indeed in danger. When carrying these energies, you will be very weak. Most of your strength is used to wrap up the magic that guides the heart of the planet."

"But on my planet, in my world, what other dangers will you encounter?"

Night Owl said: "Luthor has been captured. There is no force in the entire universe that can threaten us."

There was a sudden silence at the scene, and everyone stopped talking. The Despair Demon tried to use his telepathy to detect the other party's thoughts.

Although he had proven that the other person was a robot several times before, he still made this behavior a habit.

There was no reaction, he could not enter the opponent's brain, the Despair Demon knew that the opponent had activated the mental blocker. No matter how many times he experienced this, this feeling was too unfamiliar to the Despair Demon who was used to detecting the opponent's thoughts to decide his next move.

This habit restricted his decision-making ability and prevented him, the "greatest common denominator of interests" in the small group of cosmic overlords, from speaking up at the first opportunity.

When he came to his senses, the rhythm of the whole conversation was still led by Night Owl.

"If the Anti-Monitor finds out I'm trying to escape, I'll be the first to die, along with my beloved universe, my Gotham City."

“I will try my best to protect your safety. Once you fail, this universe will completely become food for the Anti-Monitor. Both you and I will die at the hands of the Anti-Monitor. I don’t understand what you are considering. We are all gathered together to survive, aren’t we?” “Okay.” Before the Despair Demon could figure out what to say, the voice of Lady Styx came to his ears. She agreed with what Night Owl said, and the other cosmic overlords followed suit one after another.

Despair Demon felt that such a plan was very dangerous, as they were directly exposed to Night Owl, but, on second thought, Night Owl would never joke with them about his own universe and his own life.

What are you afraid of?

Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is indeed no reason. So this brief meeting was quickly adjourned, and everyone received the task of hanging themselves on the propulsion tower. Soon, they each took a tower and hung themselves on it...

It was like one pig after another hanging themselves on the meat hooks. Even when the iron hooks pierced their buttocks and caused bleeding, they were hypnotizing themselves that this was a necessary sacrifice.

The Devil of Despair checked his propulsion tower and indeed found traces of Luther's tampering. Although he did not understand the structure of the propulsion tower, he could recall through his telepathic ability that Luther had been working in this area.

When the Devil of Despair confirmed Night Owl's statement on the spot, the last glimmer of doubt in his heart also disappeared.

So he conscientiously hanged himself on the southeast tree, and then asked the night owl:

"Is it already activated, Night Owl?"

The method Night Owl mentioned worked.

He began to feel a trickle of fluid flowing through his body into the thruster tower, a trickle at first but now gradually increasing.

"Are you done? Night Owl?" he asked. He felt a slight stinging pain, but the energy flowing through him was within his tolerance.

"Wait a little longer. I need to wait a little longer before I can completely introduce the magic power into the propulsion tower." He heard Night Owl answer him in the communication: "I am introducing the energy brought by each of you at the same time, and then manipulating the heart of the planet."

"You have to hold on for a while."

The universe overlords in the channel talked about it for a while, and finally believed what Night Owl said, but soon after a while, Despair felt something was wrong.

"What a ghost."

He gritted his teeth and said, "Are you kidding me? There's more energy coming, and it's even bigger?"

He gritted his teeth and said, "Night Owl, didn't you say it was an experiment? What kind of experiment would require energy infusion exceeding the stellar level?"

"It's a bit too much. Are you not okay yet? Night Owl?" The low voice of the Galaxy Puppet sounded in the communication channel.

"I wonder when this infusion will end. It's a bit too much for us."

"Nite Owl?"

No one was talking in the communication channel. Just when the Demon of Despair was beginning to doubt, he heard some strange noises coming from the Night Owl, as if something was about to rush out of his throat and roar, but he was desperately holding it back in his throat.

"I'm sorry, I was so badly injured that I didn't show it to you."

"What's going on?"

"It's very difficult for me to move now. It's too difficult for me to guide the magical energy. I'm sorry, but I need you to hold on for a while longer."

"What's wrong with you??? Can you give me a specific time?"

The Galaxy Puppet started to get angry, and then Night Owl said, "Sorry, after the new world, I will divide a hundred more sectors from my own share as compensation for everyone."

Night Owl's generosity was beyond the expectations of all the universe overlords. Everyone was silent, except for Despair Demon, who had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

"What injuries did you suffer? Why did the voice sound like this?"

"I'm so sorry, I've been procrastinating, but I can't get away from the fact that when I killed Nightwing, I contracted a new type of nanovirus I've never seen before, created by Batman."

"That virus is all over Nightwing's body cells, but for it to work it must be mixed with Violent Wolf's blood."

"This toxin is more potent than any toxin Batman has ever possessed and has ever used on me. It is harmless when trapped in a mutated cell, unless..."

"Unless he's dead," said Lady Styx.

"Yes, Styx. Once the cells die, the toxin will be released. The dose is roughly only enough to infect one person."

"Night Owl..."

"The toxin took control of me in just... at least about twenty minutes. He rewired my brain to make it more like... the Joker's... If the program proceeds as planned, I will be able to retain the same high level of rational thinking as before, but my moral core will be replaced by something more insane."

"The Joker's dying wish is that whoever can kill him can become him."

"Wait, why didn't you tell us this in the previous meeting?"

"No, I wish I could be more certain. But just now I have confirmed my doubts."

The ominous premonition became stronger and stronger, and a bolt of lightning suddenly struck the Despair Demon's forehead: "It's you!"

Hahahahahaha!

A creepy laugh accompanied by the trembling of the Demon of Despair sounded in the communication channel, and then in an instant, all the overlords of the universe suddenly felt that the magical energy flowing through their bodies turned into a glutton that absorbed their power, almost sucking them dry in an instant.

Intense screams suddenly rang out in the communication channel.

"Do not!!!!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

“WOHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!”
