Chapter 459 Weapons Invading the Battlefield, Night Owl's Plan! World Destruction!
"Alexander Luther killed almost the entire criminal syndicate."
Owl spaceship.
Nightwing watched the horrific scene on the screen as if he were there in person, their perspective still fixed on the Martian's eyes.
Martian is Martian Manhunter's counterpart, which means that in addition to Martian Manhunter's shapeshifting ability and super strength and speed, he also possesses extremely powerful telepathic abilities.
If Night Owl wants to completely control him, he must secretly capture Martian, use his overwhelming telepathic abilities to imprison his mind when he is powerless to resist, and then turn him into a puppet completely manipulated by telepathy.
At this moment, Nightwing suddenly realized that the information he had obtained from Night Owl—that Night Owl claimed he could transform all of humanity on Earth through the Crimson of All Beings—was actually from a person with extraordinary telepathic abilities!
This means that many of his plans and ideas about Batman were... no, Batman must have been aware of these things, which is why he wouldn't tell me his preparations...
Nightwing immediately and wisely cut off his thoughts on what Batman might have up his sleeve. He had already deduced that Batman had placed him next to Night Owl as a pawn to distract Night Owl. Therefore, he should make the most of his position. He guessed that the more schemes Batman had, the more detrimental it would be to Batman's plans.
I'm an idiot, I'm an idiot, I'm an idiot...
Dick kept trying to convince himself not to think about it, but he still had worries in his heart.
Does the owl's undisguised display of these things in front of him mean he feels that nothing else matters anymore?
"Yes, none of that matters anymore, just as you think, Dick."
Nightwing stiffly turned his head to look at Night Owl sitting next to him.
His expression was both sorrowful and ferocious, then it calmed down.
Just then, a thunderbolt suddenly struck Nightwing's mind.
"You're planning to destroy our universe?" He suddenly stood up and grabbed Night Owl by the collar. "You're going to destroy our world?!"
"You guessed it," Night Owl said, his expression sorrowful and somber. "I'm so sorry."
"Batman... he already guessed it, which is why he refused to team up with you to fight the Anti-Monitor."
Nightwing took two steps back, clutching his head: "Because you never intended to turn every living thing on Earth into a living battery for Batman to charge."
You don't genuinely want to team up with Batman to defeat the Anti-Monitor; you're just using this to cover up some other scheme to ultimately turn our world into a weapon capable of harming the Anti-Monitor.
“Create a cage that keeps restarting time,” Nite Owl replied. “Through Batman, the Anti-Monitor will be trapped forever on the day he arrives.”
"But... but that won't work. The anti-surveillance agents won't be trapped forever."
"But the time he was trapped was enough for me to shift my world, to deviate my universe from its originally predetermined dark multiverse trajectory..."
Night Owl said indifferently:
"That way, once the anti-monitor escapes from your universe, it won't be able to find us again. The Dark Multiverse is so vast, even if we're unlucky, we won't run into it a second time."
"But..." Nightwing said.
"That's right, but Batman saw through my intentions. I mean, maybe he didn't see through them completely, but he guessed that I had ill intentions."
Night Owl said, "So, billions of people haven't been converted into batteries yet. Although Batman is still under my guidance and has successfully mastered the ability to reboot the timeline, he can no longer hold off the Anti-Monitor for long."
"At most, he can reset the timeline to 15 times the previous day, or reset it to 15 days ago all at once, and then he will run out of energy to continue resetting it."
He looked into Nightwing's eyes:
"So, you clever fool, tell me, what do I want to do now? Here's a friendly hint: the Anti-Monitor will become stronger by consuming the universes it desires. I think it's a very simple logical deduction, and the answer is already obvious."
Nightwing took two steps back, blood rushing from the soles of his feet to his brain, making him dizzy and almost swaying.
Nightwing, clinging to his last shred of hope, said, "This...this doesn't make sense. You want to destroy our world—"
"It's like destroying the prey that's about to be eaten to prevent the beast from becoming more difficult to deal with after it's had its fill," the owl said. "If the prey is willing to cooperate with me to become a cage, I don't need to do that."
"Yes, yes, that's right... You're collecting combat power in our world that you can control. This ebb and flow is exactly what you want to see. If you collect combat power and the Anti-Monitor also devours our world and becomes stronger, then the situation becomes a never-ending battle where the good is one foot ahead and the evil is ten feet ahead. In that case, your actions would be meaningless."
"But you can't possibly handle a raging beast!" Nightwing finally regained some of his senses and said, "You can't be that stupid, can you? You're just a guide helping the beast find food—"
"Our relationship is far more complicated than you think," Night Owl interrupted him.
"If there's a hunter chasing the beast, he won't have time to bother me. As long as I don't completely disregard everything and fight him to the death right now, he'll tolerate whatever I do."
Night Owl said, "So you know, once Batman has completely used up the Speed Force that can be used to restart timelines, and I force the Speed Force to restart timelines again, the Speed Force will start to go berserk."
"The devastating Speed Force storm will completely engulf your world, and the Anti-Monitors will get nothing."
Even if Batman dies, it doesn't matter. Alexander Luthor has already killed Johnny Quick, meaning he's also gained the Speed Force. Using him to reboot the timeline is the same. I usually have several backup plans, you should be familiar with them, plan B.”
He softened his tone: "In short, I want you to know I'm fully prepared. I'm sorry you have to endure this. But it's the only way, I had no other choice, my dear child. I made this decision with tears in my eyes."
Nightwing jumped up to attack him, but was immediately restrained by mind control and forced back into his seat, unable to even make a face.
"I'm so sorry, child, I'm so sorry," Night Owl said. "No matter how many times I say it, it can't fully express my apology, huh? Is there anything else you want to say?"
He waved his hand as if giving a command to a large starfish, and Nightwing found himself able to speak again.
"Batman will stop you."
He said.
The owl's slightly smiling face turned completely cold.
"Maybe," he said.
Who knows?
"Since Batman saw through your previous plan, he can... Waaaaah..."
Nightwing's mouth was gagged again.
Night Owl opened the communication on another screen. As the call connected, he saw a beaming "Thunder Zamza" Alexander Luther and the Super Queen nestled in his arms.
That bitch.
Night Owl didn't say anything to Thunder Zamsa; instead, he turned his gaze to the Super Queen beside him.
"It seems your plan has succeeded, Queen Super," he said. "I am willing to submit to you."
"You really did find it," Super Queen said.
"You don't need to pretend that the child in your womb is mine to gain my support, Louise," Night Owl said. "I knew that from the beginning, but you know me; I only ever submit to the strongest."
He spouts nonsense, his outright lies flowing like a never-ending stream, completely outmaneuvering Alexander Luther and the Queen of Sussex's intelligence.
"Superpower is too brutal and completely blinded by the Kryptonite provided by Batman. Alexander, Lois, you are the ones most suitable to take charge of the Crime Syndicate."
"If you can destroy the Superpower, you will be able to destroy the Anti-Monitor. You will be more powerful than ever before, and two worlds will be willing to submit to you. I sincerely hope that I can have a place in the new world you create."
"That would be my honor, and my hope."
"We were driven out like stray dogs by the anti-surveillance agents, so let's go and defeat them now, great master..."
"Master...Master..."
……
……
……
The screams were deafening.
If Superpower still had any sense, he would have run away from such excruciating pain long ago.
That's the kind of person he is. For him, nothing is more important than his own life. But at this moment, he has completely lost the instinct to escape. After a brief moment of clarity, his eyes immediately fell into utter madness again.
"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill..."
The anti-monitor's attack was interrupted; he was thrown into the air, regained his balance, and then planted his feet in the ground, kicking up large swaths of dirt that had been thrown into the sky.
He looked at Batman, who had been completely transformed into the Destroyer, and used his arm, covered in protruding bone spurs, to lift the panting Superman from the ground.
"Roar! I'm going to kill..."
Fear flashed in Superpower's eyes as he escaped being disintegrated by the Anti-Life Equation, but it was replaced by an even more complete madness in the next second: "I'm going to kill you..."
"Calm down." The Counter-Monitor saw Batman pinch Superman's spine with his bare hand. He always felt that there was something strange about the connection between the two of them. When he saw this action, he was almost certain that Batman had tampered with Superman's head... but it doesn't matter.
The results are the same.
You'd better be stronger... Come on, Batman, let me see what else you've got up your sleeve.
Hurry up and kill me.
As the anti-surveillance man thought this, he looked up and seemed to see a huge black shadow behind Batman spreading its bat-like wings and grinning at him.
That is Barbatos, the god of bats and the dragon of the dark multiverse. He is the master of the infinite dark multiverse.
He creates endless, darkest, most nightmarish creations as his minions for his impending invasion of the light multiverse.
He's got his eye on him... The Anti-Monitor knows it, Mobius knows it, he plans to use him to create another nightmarish version of Batman, and Barbatos will never give up.
Even if he wipes out everyone in this universe and devours it, he will still be trapped in the dark multiverse destiny network woven by Barbatos in the next universe, just like a strong insect that, even if it breaks free from the spider web, will still have countless remnants of spider silk left on its body, like the night owl.
Did he really think he didn't know what the Night Owl had done? The Night Owl was like those remaining spider webs, which were usually difficult to restrain his actions, but if he stumbled into another web, such as the world before him, those remaining spider webs would bind his hands and feet.
Night Owl is under Barbatos's protection. If the Anti-Monitor forcibly tears these remaining "webs" off his body, it will definitely consume more power—otherwise, do you really think the Anti-Monitor would be so kind as to let Night Owl's universe go?
In short, if we can't tear off the spider silk, then so be it...
Let these spider webs hang there.
The anti-surveillance agent stared at Batman before him. "Please, stronger, much stronger."
Only in this way could he have a chance to make a drastic sacrifice in this game of hunting and escape, or even, if given the chance...
Even the most cunning hunters are often killed by brown bears, and jaguars, who hunt others for a living, can become prey for crocodiles even when they approach unfamiliar water sources.
The balance of offense and defense, the roles of hunter and prey... sometimes, how can we really distinguish between them so clearly?
Superpower regained some of his composure: "Where's that bitch Louise (Super Queen)? And Johnny Quick, Martian, I clearly already..."
Chen Tao realized he had overestimated the other person's intelligence, so he immediately tried to distract him: "Focus, Chao Ba, the enemy in front of us is the most dangerous right now."
Superpower's attention was once again drawn, and he lunged at the Anti-Monitor again. While the two were locked in a hopeless struggle, Chen Tao gave an order to the Justice League members nearby:
"Everyone, retreat. Return to Earth. A dangerous enough figure will soon arrive on the battlefield. I don't want him to see you as prey and cause a civil war."
"Wait a minute, we come out here, get beaten to a pulp, and then slink back home like that? Are you sure, Batman?" Hal said.
Chen Tao stared at him: "Please, Hal."
Halton immediately looked away guiltily: "I didn't say I disagreed."
The green ion shark swam nimbly behind Chen Tao, three pink lights appeared above his head, and then he raised his hand, releasing Brainiac's Shrink Ray at Hal. Hal did not resist, and was immediately sucked back into the Earth that Chen Tao had swallowed.
"Let's take advantage of this time to deal with the remaining Shadow Fiends on Earth, everyone," Chen Tao said.
Then he thought about it.
Although these things are meaningless after the timeline restarts.
Superman Clark Kent patted Chen Tao on the shoulder. The second one was shrunk, and he knew he could always trust Batman.
One by one, the members of the alliance shrank, until soon only Diana remained.
She paused, then lowered the tip of her sword:
"Can you handle this, Batman?"
She hesitated for a moment: "I...I want to help you."
"It's alright, so far the situation is still under control."
Chen Tao told her, "It's still under control for now."
Then he said, "You need to go back to Earth first."
Behind him, a massive portal opened not far away; it was a portal remotely opened by the Father Box.
Diana knew this wasn't the time for idle chatter, so she nodded:
"Take care of yourself."
"Um."
Wonder Woman wanted to say something more, but she let the shrinking light shrink her.
Her beautiful eyes seemed to speak volumes; they were truly...beautiful.
Chen Tao turned his head and saw Thunder Zanza embracing the Super Queen, his eyes glowing blue, as they appeared on the battlefield.
