Chapter 359 58 The Bat Family Is a Bunch of Cowards! They Even Cheat in Front of a Weak Woman!
Chapter 359 58. The Bat family is a bunch of cowards! He still cheats when facing a weak woman!
The showdown between the old man and Thalia should have started long ago.
But it is said that the elders of the factions within the Assassin's Alliance have been trying to find trouble with their status. They accused the old man of not being a master of the Assassin's Alliance and not qualified to participate in the leadership ceremony.
This forced the old man to take part in the master test first. However, the elders were very calculating but could not bear it. Thomas passed the very difficult master test in less than five days.
Faced with this situation, the ulterior elders could not withstand the pressure and held the succession ceremony for the head of the devil.
Er Tong was quite critical of this matter.
He was pulled by Damian to help, causing him to miss the big fight with Mason in his home world. This was a waste of time and life for Ergong, who was determined to save him because of his experience.
But the good news is that their recent efforts have paid off.
The old man relied on the strong assistance of his group of 2077 corporate dog roll kings. When he became a master assassin, he also successfully won the support of a group of small forces, giving him his own base.
"Damian and I have sneaked into the depths of the Assassin's League's castle, and the leadership battle between the old man and Thalia will also enter the final stage. The little madman's prediction of the situation is very accurate.
The elders of the Assassin League ambushed the killer here. They did not want the second Demon Head to be born today. "
Er Tong reported the situation to Mason in the "live" communication, and Mason was not surprised by this. He found a lounge and pushed the door in, then zoomed in on the scene in front of him and said:
"After finally getting through Lei Xiaogu, who would be willing to have another strong leader on their head?
Be prepared, Erbong, to proceed with Damian's plan, and if they are really ready to split the organization, give them some color. "
"Well, I just want to apply for permission to move."
Ertong said:
"Because you don't like to see massacres, and I don't intend to conflict with you on this matter."
"No, Ergong, I don't like to see meaningless massacres."
Mason lit a cigarette and emphasized:
“I wholeheartedly support actions like the current one to eradicate the unjust, and if I hadn’t really been unable to get away, I would have been happy to join them.
Is the old man's 'persuasion' to his 'right-hand man' still going well? "
"He didn't talk about it."
Ergong shrugged and loaded the kinetic energy revolver in his hand while saying:
"I didn't ask, but a few days ago the elders and several masters of the Nordic faction who firmly refused to recognize the old master's qualifications and their headquarters were mysteriously destroyed overnight.
I suspect that it was the little sister Diana and the broken-armed Sea King Arthur who did the good deeds. There must be an expert involved in doing it so carefully.
Speaking of which, I don't know where you found this 'old man', but every time I stay with him, I feel uncomfortable all over. The feeling of squeezing the cool breeze from between my teeth is like seeing A Batman who has crossed the line. "
The most rebellious member of the Bat Family had a strange longing at this time. He complained to Mason:
"If I had been cast as Robin by this guy in the first place, I swear I would never complain about him for anything, and this guy would be the perfect version of me thirty years later.
If I can be like this in the future, I will definitely feel that my life is worthwhile. "
"Did you just say 'crossing the line'?"
Mason shook his head and said:
"No, Jason, the Batman who has crossed the line is not like the old man. Thomas can be considered the 'blackened hidden model' among all Batmans in all parallel worlds.
If he really crosses the line, it's impossible for us to cooperate with him. "
"Shh, they're here. I put this camera here. If you want to see the details, just adjust the position yourself."
Damian next to him gestured to him, and Ertun let go and allowed the drone in his hand to enter optical concealment and fly into the air under Mason's cross-world remote control.
He lurked over and took out his beloved famous sword from his bag and handed it to Damian. The latter carried the black famous sword behind his back without saying a word and was ready to attack.
Both of them put on assassin-type Isu armor made by Mason himself.
Not only is it easier to move around, it can be optically camouflaged when necessary, but it is also shielded by the aura enchanted by Mason himself, allowing them to hide here without being discovered by anyone.
Mason controlled the drone and flew forward in a circle in the secret room under the castle.
He saw that the Demon's Head Sword, which was the token of the leader of the Assassin Alliance, was placed on a stone pedestal in front of the Lhasa Road Pond that exuded a green luster below.
The seven elders of the Assassin's Alliance also stood there waiting for the two candidates to enter the final hall.
These elders dressed in different styles are all loyal generals from the ancient Lei Xiao era. They command different factions of the Assassin League all over the world, from the forests of Black Africa to the neon cities of East Asia, to the samba-style shelters of South America. Under the influence, the forces formed by Lei Xiaogu have already spread all over the world.
Damian's grandfather spent nine hundred years building this organization. It doesn't look outstanding on the outside and even has the impression of a "loser".
However, being defeated by the Justice League so many times and yet being able to make a comeback shows the profound heritage of this organization. Defeated once by Batman and his gang, the League of Assassins will win ten times a hundred times elsewhere.
They can afford to fight a war of attrition, and patience is their greatest advantage.
"boom"
Two stone doors leading to the Lazarus Pool Cave suddenly opened on both sides of the final hall. The old man's figure appeared in the left passage. He walked into the hall and left bloody footprints.
Thalia's figure appeared in the passage on the right, and she was a bit miserable.
The blood on his body is not only the enemy's, but also his own.
The two of them had been tested by the assassins since they entered the castle, and they had to go through several levels to get here.
Because it was a battle of leaders, the assassins participating in the test would not show any emotion. Both of them struggled to break through the pursuit and assassination of nearly a thousand assassins each.
They were allowed to use any weapon.
The same goes for the assassins. This is not a point-and-shoot test, but a real sword and gun full of death.
In the final stage of the attack, hosted by thirty ancient assassin masters who were resurrected with secret techniques, they must complete crisp kills with one against thirty to advance to the final step.
This was the test that Lei Xiaogu set for his successor. The king of assassins who had lived for more than nine hundred years would not allow the legacy he left behind to be obtained by the weak.
At this time, under the faint green light reflected by the Lazarus Pool, under the silent gaze of the seven assassin elders, the old man reached out and took off the broken battle clothes and cloak and threw it at his feet, while changing the magazines for his guns. , while looking at Talia Al Ghul who was struggling to bandage the wound on the opposite side.
The latter's body was covered with wounds, as if he had rolled in a circle on a knife blade. The most fatal injuries were on his legs and waist and abdomen. Even if the bleeding had stopped, the open wounds were still shocking.
Her left arm was almost completely destroyed.
But Thalia's pale face showed no sign of surrender.
This woman as cunning as a fox was unambiguous when it came time to fight. She wrapped her left arm around her and grabbed the assassin's blade in front of her with her backhand, making a gesture of preparation for battle.
It is her lifelong wish to succeed her father and become the King of Assassins. She has regarded this goal as her life ideal since she was a child.
Originally, there was only one step away from realizing it, but the damn Mason interfered and forced the old man into the leadership battle.
What saddens Thalia the most is that her son actually "betrayed" her at this moment.
Originally, as an outsider, the old man was not qualified to participate in the affairs of the Assassin's League. It was Damian who sent back the Demon's Head Sword and pressured him as Lei Xiaogu's direct heir before the Council of Elders allowed the old man to participate in the Master Trial. This gave him the qualifications to join this competition.
In other words, the Thomas Wayne in front of him is actually competing in Damian's place. This is theoretically a competition between mother and son for the leadership position.
Damn it!
My good son must have been bewitched by that bastard Mason Cooper!
"You can admit defeat, Thalia."
The old man was holding two guns, and the scarlet visor under the hood that was darker and more sinister than Batman exuded a chill. He said hoarsely:
"You are no longer in a good condition to fight. You can just retreat and go where you should go."
"Where should I go?"
Thalia sneered and said:
"You mean your son's bed? No! Don't even think about it! Thomas, I have already lost to a Batman, and I will not lose to a second madman wearing a bat suit."
"You shouldn't bring this up."
The old man's tone became colder and he said:
"This reminds me of how you used him. This may be the reason why you always fall behind in the fight with Selena. You are not pure enough.
This is true whether it is love, ambition, cruelty, martial arts and strategy. "
"Shut up!"
Having been stabbed in the second painful spot in her heart, Thalia stepped on the ground and attacked the old man.
Under the meaningful gazes of the gloomy elders around them, the two rivals who aspired to be the leader and who could be regarded as "family members" in a sense fell into a desperate situation of fighting each other.
In fact, being able to pass the test in the castle has proved that both of them have the personal strength to lead the Assassin Alliance, but after all, there is only one leader.
The sound of gunshots streaking through the cave echoed, and Thalia was quickly suppressed.
Under the old man's outstanding "gun fighting skills", it was difficult for her to even get close. Even if she barely managed to get close, she would be hit hard by the revenge knight with a vicious attitude.
Logically speaking, an old man in his fifties should not have such a strong body, but the various physical skills Thomas displayed at this time made him look more dangerous than Bruce in his prime.
This scene also made the elders watching frown.
Although Lei Xiaogu has always wanted his most outstanding disciple, Batman, to lead the Assassin's League, for these powerful elders, they prefer Damian Wayne's succession.
Only a leader who is easily shaken can be manipulated.
Of course, it would be better to have the Presbyterian Council control all of this without a single-minded leader.
In the exchange of eyes with each other, these elders quietly sent signals in various ways.
Soon, dense footsteps sounded all over the cave. The old man's body was shaken by the feeling of being targeted, and Thalia, who was holding a sword in hand, also stopped attacking.
She wanted to scold the elders for being rude, but the next moment she was kicked out by the old man.
After rolling on the ground in embarrassment, he fell into the Lhasa Road Pool. The harsh bullets were also flying in the cave. The elite dead soldiers in black rushed out of the stone door and attacked without saying a word under the suppressed fire. The old man attacked and killed him.
The structure of this cave is completely undefendable. Under such well-prepared firepower, Batman, the revenge knight who doesn't know where he came from, will have to suffer from this no matter how powerful he is.
That's what the elders thought.
Their plan was indeed flawless, but the missiles that exploded in two directions almost at the same time woke them up from their sweet dreams.
Everyone turned around in shock and saw two figures, one tall and one short, standing up beside the rocks of the Devil's Pond. Damian was carrying an armed backpack and continuously projecting smart missiles to bombard the shooters at high places, while Erbun was holding a semi-automatic light sniper to harvest. The dead soldiers approaching the old man gave Thomas enough time to retreat.
But would the old man retreat in this situation?
What a joke!
Only by mastering the organization in front of him can he better protect his lost son!
And now this shameful betrayal is even more disgusting!
He rolled to avoid the grenade at his feet, approached the stone platform, grabbed the Demon's Head sword, and took out several "Mason's Special" smoke bombs from his waist and threw them at his feet.
The billowing smoke quickly enveloped the area, and after entering Batman's home court, the old man felt more at home.
Screams and dying sobs echoed in the chaos, as if the door to hell had opened and a murderous ghost wearing a bat suit was released into the world.
However, the fact that the old man was able to kill everyone was not all because of his greatness. The old revenge knight in his fifties was very up to date with the trend, and he also cheated secretly.
"The three people in front are holding explosives. It is recommended to shoot them from a distance!"
In the "ears" of the old man's Bat-helmet, Cyborg Victor Stone's voice constantly reminds him where the enemy is and provides him with immediate tactical options.
This data consciousness that was stripped and stored by Mason using the Soul Killer has now become the old man's "portable radar", which is equivalent to a "full picture hanging" plus a "wall hanging" in this confined space.
When several elders saw the situation exposed and saw the old man turning on the "Killing God" state, they immediately decided to put oil on their feet. As long as they could return to their territory, there would be something to talk about.
However, Damian, who was filled with anger, would not leave them the chance to leave.
"Zarp! You have tarnished Lei Xiaogu's name!"
The famous sword was swung, and the white sharp blade accurately pierced the heart of an old man under the quick thrust of the little madman. He then fell to his knees under the fierce kick of the little madman, and then the brutal owl leader made blood flow like an execution. The light exploded.
Several other elders were shocked by Damian's murderous intent. At this critical moment, they suddenly realized that maybe it was a stupid idea to support Damian Wayne's beautiful vision of succeeding to the throne.
This little madman is as powerful as a young tiger roaring in the forest, and they may not be able to suppress it.
It can only be said that Lei Xiaogu's vision in selecting successors is much better than theirs.
"Shua"
Bloody sword light also burst out from behind. As the guarding dead soldiers were slashed and fell to the ground, two barrels holding Alice also walked out of the darkness, blocking the last way of these elders.
But Er Tong’s attention is not limited to this.
He fired the last bullet of the pistol sideways, hitting Thalia's hand as she crawled out of the Lazarus Pool. The beating bullet represented a reminder.
Thalia, who lost the boss fight, can't leave just yet.
Her captain, Mr. Mason Cooper, wants to talk to her, and this is an invitation that loser Talia has no right to refuse.
"Mother."
In the smoke after the killing was suspended, Damian's voice, holding a blood-stained sword, sounded beside Thalia, with a hint of guilt and uneasiness.
Thalia, who was wrapped in a blanket, turned back and stared at her son expressionlessly, saying that it was impossible for her not to be sad, but the scolding and sarcastic words Damian imagined did not appear.
Instead, his mother stared at him, and after ten seconds of silence, she said:
"You finally learned some real wisdom and inherited your grandpa's great vision. You chose the right person to represent you to retrieve your inheritance, although the price was my failure and exile.
I don't blame you, Damian.
But remember, when you grow up, you have to rely on your own ability to get back what belongs to you from Thomas Wayne.
My silly boy, you have chosen for yourself an opponent that you may never be able to defeat in your life. "
"But Thomas is over fifty."
Damian complained softly:
"When I am forty years old, he will be over ninety. I think all I need to do to get the League of Assassins back is to sign the extubation notice, and you may be looking down on your son too much.
Give me another ten years to see if I can knock the Revenge Knight to the ground. "
"Um?"
Thalia's son's wise words didn't really make Thalia happy. She snorted, causing Damian to stand upright immediately and subconsciously.
"Learn from Mason with caution, Damian."
Thalia stood up and said to her son seriously:
"Imitate him, follow him, but don't become him. The path he wants to take is something you can't take. I don't want you to become that kind of hero. That is a fate heavier than Batman."
