What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 531 The brave ones died, but I am still alive
"Listen, Luther, I have everything planned out."

Luthor heard Batman say, "Everything is going according to plan."

Everything was going according to plan. This attitude, as if treating Luther as a fool, made Luther so angry that he almost jumped up.

"Roar?"

Bizarro flew in from outside the Hall of Justice. When he was teleported back to his own universe, Luthor put him outside the Hall of Justice and let him sit outside playing with the tea and snacks on the table, but the other party flew in now.

Bizarro's simple mind couldn't quite comprehend the current situation, so he stood behind Luther.

Then I started to daydream.

"No, you didn't calculate that." Luthor said, "If you have already figured out how to deal with Superboy-Prime and the Anti-Monitor, why did you go to the trouble of executing the current plan? Now that the plan is complete, you are..."

"I figured it out."

"you have not."

"I figured it out."

"enough!"

Batman repeated these words over and over like a sulky child.

Luthor gave full play to his intelligence and wisdom, and once again proved from various details that it was impossible for Batman to plan until today.

Batman was finally unable to deny it, so he smiled lightly.

"Okay." Luther heard him say, "But no matter what, I have a reason to go."

"Then why did you make such a plan that would sacrifice other universes from the beginning?" Luther shouted, "I thought... I thought I had completely understood your plan, and I thought we worked well together. We have now succeeded, and the plan has been completed!"

"Because I can make up my mind to risk my life, but I can't let the entire universe take the risk with me."

He heard Batman say softly: "If we have to do whatever it takes, our universe can survive, right? I won't give up Night Owl's universe, but I don't have the right to tie everyone down and gamble their lives on the chance to save both universes."

He tilted his head.

Luther's armor, which had been connected to the propulsion tower system, also sent a signal at this time: "Warning, an unknown universe replacement is being prepared."

He looked at Batman suddenly: "Are you planning to do this?"

Then he said, "No, I refuse. I can't watch you die."

He attempted to remotely control the armor to stop Batman's cosmic displacement, but to no avail.

"It's useless." Chen Tao said, "You are more familiar with the propulsion tower system than I am. You are the expert in operating this thing.

But I don't need to fight with you for control of the tower system. You use armor to connect to the tower system, and I just need to be able to hack into your armor."

He no longer cares about Luthor, who is trying to stop the displacement reaction, and turns to the Justice League.

They looked at themselves in silence.

"Everyone in the Justice League."

No one cares about Luther anymore.

Everyone is listening to Batman.

"Now, I would like to give one final order."

Bizarro looked at everyone blankly.

He didn't understand why Luthor turned his back to Batman and gripped the arm guard of his armor so hard that his knuckles became numb and white.

Bizarro's simple mind did not find the person who hurt Luther, and he didn't understand why the other party was in so much pain.

"Here you and I will part ways."

"Warning, unknown universe replacement is about to be completed." Lex Luthor's armor made a sound.

Chen Tao raised his head slightly.

He looked out the dark window of the Justice League lobby.

It was midnight, and the Earth was empty, without a single human being. Those infected with two-headed monsters were constantly creating more two-headed monsters in the universe. With these hundreds of billions of purple-light two-headed monsters, even without the help of the cosmic overlords, Lex Luthor could comb through the energy of the planet's heart and lead the universe to escape.

In fact, because they are too numerous and not just individually powerful individuals, their effect is even better than that of the cosmic overlords of Night Owl.

His universe will escape very quickly, and no matter what happens, no matter what it is, it will be impossible to intercept it.

He succeeded, and he did a great job.

Of course, there is one last question.

He knew of Barbatos' existence, and he also knew how the dragon led to his fall.

He felt like he was being targeted, and he realized that once he crossed the line of abandoning innocent people, he would become a vessel for Barbatos to infuse with dark energy.

He might be able to resist, he might be able to find a way to fight this indoctrination, he might be able to find a way to control himself, but in the end...

My heart has already made up its mind...

Is not it?!

I...why am I doing this?
Why should I sacrifice my life for my universe?
Am I really ready?
I am surrounded by disturbing thoughts and fear.

I am timid, but I have made my decision. I will...take the initiative to cut off my retreat.

I have left my suicide note, I have left my secret plan for the world.

So it's time.

"Justice League, listen to my orders."

"From now on, Lex Luthor will be the next direct leader of the Justice League, and he will operate the Thruster Tower to bring our universe to safety."

"everyone……"

"We all have to survive."

This is my last fight. I voluntarily choose an outcome that may lead to death, without being forced by anyone.

No, and no reason is needed.

All of the problems you have encountered so far will end today, and the way they end will be in an extremely personal way.

I will return to the Night Owl universe alone, and then...

"Do not be silly."

he heard Wonder Woman say.

"We won't let you go back alone."

Chen Tao was stunned.

"We have a responsibility to save the lives of millions of people on his world," said Martian Manhunter. "I once thought you wouldn't do that, and to be honest, I have always been hesitant about it."

"If you want to change your decision because of mine, there's no need to do that." Chen Tao said, "This is just my decision."

"No. This is a decision made by all of us." Aquaman said, "Your plan is to prioritize the safety of our universe, and then save the other one. And what a coincidence."

"Our plan is to work with you to protect the safety of our universe, and then work with you to save another one," said Wonder Woman.

"Except for Hal who is still in a coma and has not realized it yet, all of us are prepared."

"Even me." Shazam shrugged.

"I never thought this was something that needed to be discussed, Bat." Wonder Woman said, "Leaving us alone? You think too highly of yourself. You are full of the arrogance of personal heroism."

"So whether you agree or not, we will do this." Superman Clark concluded. He turned to look at Lex Luthor: "Lex, I know that although you don't have the ability to stop Batman, you have the ability to send us over as well. Sorry for the trouble."

Everyone in the Justice League stared at Batman. Chen Tao also stared at them blankly. He saw the same awareness in the eyes of every member of the league.

They refused to budge.

"it is good."

So finally, a smile appeared in Chen Tao's eyes.

He said, "Okay. Let's go together."

"You...you are all fine."

"You guys..." Luther's voice came from the side.

He was shaking all over: "You crazy people, you are looking for death."

No one responded to him.

Quick.

Luther roared in his heart.

Speak quickly.

Tell Batman and everyone in the Justice League that you'll go back with them to save that Nite Owl world.

Lex Luthor, you... say something!

Don’t you call yourself the savior of mankind?

Don’t you have the courage to die bravely?

But when Luther opened his mouth, his tongue seemed to be stuck with glue.

He did not agree with this almost suicidal behavior. He had spent a lot of effort and finally saved his world.

Lex was shocked to find that even though he had been a member of the Justice League for a long time, he still disagreed with the Justice League's actions on many issues from the bottom of his heart.

He thought that Batman would succumb to the facts like himself and choose to sacrifice other worlds with peace of mind. Therefore, to a certain extent, he completed his own moral desensitization and self-comfort through Batman's behavior.

But now the actions of everyone in the Justice League and Batman deeply hurt him.

Are you the only heroes?

You're the only one who doesn't give up on anyone?
Am I, Lex Luthor, the bad guy who feels comfortable sacrificing others to save himself?
He wanted to curse loudly, to loudly rebuke everyone in the Justice League, and then to say that he would go with them to save the world.

He, Lex Luthor, can also be just, he can also be a hero!
But why can't I say a word?

"Luther, I need you to stay in this universe."

The loud bang exploded in the dazed Luther's ears, almost driving him crazy.

"The propulsion tower system cannot be operated without you. If you go with us, our universe will not be able to escape. You are too important, Lex. I'm sorry, from the structure of the plan, you are the one who is destined to stay behind."

Lex Luthor no longer knew what he was saying.

He just heard Batman say: "Tell me, which is harder, dying bravely or living with everything on your shoulders?"

"You've had it harder than any of us, and I know you've been wronged terribly, Lex, and I'm sorry."

"I'm really sorry to leave you here."

Luthor didn't know how he watched all the members of the Justice League disappear into the portal.

He felt everyone walking by him patted him gently on the shoulder, as if sealing the rest of their lives on Luther.

This is so heavy... so heavy.

He stared blankly at the afterglow of the portal that dissipated into the air and turned into tiny stars.

Bizarro looked at Luther stupidly.

He watched as Luther's teeth chattered and he whimpered as if he was dying.

He wanted to yell as loud as he could, but no sound came out.

He wanted to weep, to rage, to run away.

But he just operated the thrust tower system as if nothing had happened. His gums were bleeding.

He still had responsibilities to fulfill.

He manipulates it mechanically.

Bizarro walked up to Luthor and searched his body but couldn't find any flowers to give him. So the mentally retarded monster could only try his best to stretch out his hand, imitating the actions of the Justice League before they collectively entered the portal, and patted Luthor on the shoulder.

Luther turned his head and looked at Bizarro. Then he suddenly grabbed his head and banged it hard:
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Idiots! Batman is really looking for death, and the Justice League is also looking for death. They are a bunch of idiots and recklessly brave."

"They are all going to die now. They are all going to die."

"None of them will survive. Just wait and see. Once they leave this universe, when the two universes no longer overlap, they will never be able to come back. They will all die there!"

"Now the whole world will fall into the hands of me, Lex Luthor. No one in the whole world can resist my rule. I can do whatever I want. Amanda Waller is completely under my control. She can't beat me at all. Hal Jordan, that mentally retarded idiot, I can trick him into selling him and he will help me count the money."

"Batman and the Justice League will definitely regret leaving this world in my hands. When I am Superman's enemy, I am the most dangerous one! Now no one in the world can stop me!"

He shouted loudly: "I am the king of Metropolis!"

"I am the King of Gotham, the King of Midtown, the King of Star City!"

"I want to expose my true nature. I want to do whatever I want!"

"No one can stop me! Because everyone in the Justice League is dead. These idiots committed suicide, which led to such a disastrous result!"

He kept shouting, and then his voice became lower:
"Wow... I... I will survive, and live forever, until I die of old age, on a hospital bed."

"They are indeed brave, but I will live, the coward..."

"I will live."

……

……

……

stay……

stay……

stay……

Mobius was in a daze.

Ah, I see.

The shadow that looms over the entire multiverse.

Countless universes were engulfed by the anti-life equation and turned into nothingness in a burst of white light.

The Watcher was killed, and countless heroes besieged me, but these ants were defeated in an instant.

I will eventually devour the entire multiverse and get what is supposed to belong to me!
I am so strong, I am so great and brilliant.

I am the Anti-Monitor!
First kill Superboy-Prime, then devour this universe. I have to act fast and catch them before Batman's universe completely escapes, and then...

Mobius's thoughts had just reached this point when he saw a ball of fire burning in the air in the distance, like the sun appearing in front of him.

Hey, what is that?
