Chapter 818 The Power of the Lasso of Truth
"Damn it! Is this Saiyan really so scary?!" Seeing that his attack had no effect on Robert, the butler Afu cursed in his heart. To be honest, if Batman had not been caught by Robert, the butler Afu really didn't want to be an enemy of a strong man like Robert.
But now Batman is in Robert's hands. If the butler Afu wants to rescue Batman, he can only ignore his own life, because in his heart, Batman's safety is much more important than his own life!
But the butler Afu didn't seem to realize that when the strength difference is too big, desperately can't change anything. Otherwise, when dealing with Doomsday before, there was no need to wait for Robert to come back to save the scene. The Avengers fought hard and Doomsday was solved...
But at this time, the butler Afu controlled the Hell Demon Mecha and rushed to Robert's location. When the energy attack couldn't do anything to Robert, the butler Afu chose close combat, which was also a helpless method.
Even if it is calculated, the butler Afu has more confidence in close combat than energy attack, because as mentioned before, the Hell Demon Mech is the most powerful mech that Batman can build at present. It not only has the extraordinary means of the Hell Demon, but also has the most advanced technology level on Earth... No! It has surpassed the current level of Earth technology!
This set of Hell Demon Mech is not only made of vibranium, but also incorporates some other metals and technological products. It can be said that except for the lack of N metal and the inability to nano-nize all materials and continuously repair the mech, the technical level of the Hell Demon Mech is not much worse than Tony Stark's mech.
Even if these last few gaps make the combat effectiveness of the mechs of both sides a bit worse, at least in terms of close combat and sturdiness, the Hell Demon Mech is definitely not bad!
This is what Batman and Butler Afu have repeatedly tested. The defense of the Hell Demon Mech is even better than pure vibranium. In theory, no attack on Earth can break the Hell Demon Mech. Even if the opponent is a Saiyan, at least it can collide a few times, right?
"Snap!" Robert frowned as he watched the butler Afu controlling the Hell Demon Mech attacking him, preparing to rescue Batman by attacking from behind. He stretched out his hand to block the fist of the Hell Demon Mech, and exerted force at the same time.
Robert had already paid attention to this material when the military used the Vibranium Mech. In order to test his own strength, Robert specially placed the Vibranium Mech at home to see when he could crush the Vibranium.
At that time, Robert could not shake the material of Vibranium, and there was still a big gap between him and Clark who could easily crush Vibranium, but now Robert is no longer the same as before.
"Crack!"
Therefore, as Robert exerted force, a crisp sound echoed in the room, and the Hell Demon Mech began to break from the fist part, directly spreading to the whole set of mechs, until the butler Afu was exposed.
Robert had no intention of killing the butler, Alfu. After all, the two had dealt with each other several times, and the current Batman was not the real Batman. After he dealt with this fake, the situation in Gotham still needed the butler to deal with it.
"You don't have to bother. If it was the real Batman, I could give him a chance to explain, but he is not, and it is not worth it for you to fight for him!" Seeing the butler Alfu fall to the ground from the fragments of the mecha, Robert slowly shook his head and said.
"Huh?! What?" When the butler Alfu saw the Hell Demon Mecha broken, he was desperate, but when he heard Robert's words, the butler Alfu was instantly at a loss.
"It's like this, aren't you going to say anything? Or do you think you can still hide your identity?" Robert looked at Batman, who was still silent, and said.
"Is he a Skrull?" Kara, who was watching the show outside, rushed to Robert's side and looked at Batman and began to look at him.
"Skrulls?" The butler Alfu beside him had a blank look in his eyes. He had no idea what a Skrull was, and he didn't even understand how his master became a Skrull.
"Skrulls are an alien race that has the ability to disguise themselves as others." Robert looked at Batman, who was still silent but with a slightly changed expression, and said, "They can completely become another person, and even have the memory of this person, which is almost unnoticed by outsiders..."
"How can there be such a terrible race? Then how did you find out that the master was not his original self..." Seeing that Batman was still silent at this time, the butler Alfu, who didn't believe it very much, suddenly believed it a little, because he felt that the Batman held in Robert's hand was so strange.
"I've come into contact with several Skrulls before, otherwise I would not have been able to discover this pirated stuff." Robert took a deep look at Batman, and the energy in his hand began to act on Batman. He was trying to see if he could remove Batman's disguise, but even though Robert brought great pain to Batman, he still did not reveal his Skrull prototype. If Robert had not noticed that Batman's breath was abnormal, Robert would have doubted whether he was wrong.
"When was the master replaced? Where is the real master?" Hearing Robert's words, the butler Alfu's eyes flashed with worry, and his mood became low, because from the current situation, Batman is afraid that he is in danger!
"Then I don't know, but at least when I last saw Batman, he was not a Skrull..." Robert answered the butler Alfu's question while trying to force out the prototype of Batman, but after a few attempts, Robert still failed to force the Batman in his hand back to a Skrull. In desperation, he looked at Diana who was looking at Batman and asked, "Diana, do you have any way to make him show his true form?"
"I can try it. You know, my Lasso of Truth can know some special information..." Diana nodded, picked up the Lasso of Truth at her waist and said.
"Yes!" Robert's eyes suddenly lit up, and he put Batman down casually.
After Batman regained his freedom, he immediately started running, but his speed was too slow in the eyes of Robert and others.
"Shua!" The next moment, the Lasso of Truth bound Batman's body directly, and with the divine light on the Lasso of Truth surging, Batman's body began to tremble constantly.
"Buzz!" Batman's body began to change constantly, and finally turned into a Skrull face that Robert was very familiar with.
Of course, for the Skrulls, each of their faces is different, but for Robert, the slight difference between the Skrulls' appearance is not enough for Robert to distinguish them. The perception of Qi is more reliable. Anyway, in Robert's opinion, this Skrull looks exactly the same as the ones he had seen before.
"It's true! He's really not the master. The master is probably dead! I'm sorry for the Wayne family! I'm sorry for the old masters' instructions!" The butler Alfu collapsed when he saw the Skrulls in their true form. He sat on the ground and cried sadly, which made Robert and Kara sigh.
"Malik! Skrulls! Tell me your purpose for coming to Earth!" Diana knew Malik's name directly through the power of the Lasso of Truth, and began to interrogate Malik.
"Secretly invade the Earth, replace some important figures, secretly rule the Earth, target superheroes, and wait for the adults to come..." Malik's face flashed with a struggling light. The consciousness of the Skrulls was quite good, especially with the blessing of racial abilities, but under the blessing of the artifact such as the Lasso of Truth, Malik was still forced to stutter out the plan of the Skrulls.
"Wait a minute, let's ask who the mastermind is! Where did his kryptonite come from!" Robert was not too surprised to hear Malik's answer, because this was basically consistent with Robert and the Avengers' calculations about the Skrulls, and Robert had not forgotten about the kryptonite. Finding the mastermind behind the Doomsday incident through Malik was the most critical thing!
"Where did your kryptonite come from? Do you know the person who gave you the kryptonite? What's his name?" Diana nodded and asked according to Robert's question.
"The kryptonite was given to me by Lex Luthor. He is not one of us, and he doesn't know that I am a fake Batman. He was originally planning to plot against Batman because he knew Batman's character and knew that Batman was originally very afraid of Superman. As long as there is kryptonite, a weapon that restrains Superman, then Batman will definitely attack Superman!" Malik's words were smoother than before.
I don't know if it's because Lex Luthor is not one of the Skrulls, so Malik's statement will not touch the core secrets of the Skrulls, so there is no burden to speak out.
"Not a Skrull? Lex Luthor? Who is it?" Robert's eyes flashed with a trace of confusion. Could it be that they were really calculated by an ordinary person? This is more difficult to accept than being calculated by the Skrulls.
Especially Lex Luthor knows so many secrets of Superman, the Avengers, and even Batman. He is not a simple guy...
"If it's an ordinary person, why don't we let Tony and the others investigate the information..." Kara looked at Robert and suggested, "Maybe the other party is not an ordinary person, but a hidden supernatural person?"
"Okay, Jarvis, you investigate the information about Lex Luthor, the more detailed the better!" Robert nodded and contacted Jarvis.
"Lex Luthor? How could it be him?" Tony Stark was stunned when he received the news. He never thought that Robert would investigate Lex Luthor, because although Lex Luthor is an ordinary person, he is not simple.
Lex Luthor's identity is very similar to Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne. He is the chairman of Lex Group. Although Lex Group is not as good as the current Stark Group, it is not much worse than Wayne Group, and it is even richer than Osborn Group.
And from the name of Lex Group, it can be seen that Lex Group is completely different from Osborn Group. This is the group belonging to Lex Luthor. It is not named Luthor Group after the family name, but uses the name Lex, which also symbolizes Lex Luthor's absolute control over the group.
It can be said that Lex Luthor is definitely a top figure in America, a capital tycoon. His influence is even higher than that of Bruce Wayne's public identity, because Lex Luthor once ran for the head of America.
As we all know, a wealthy man running for the head of America is definitely a matter of attention. Even though Lex Luthor failed in the election, his reputation is still very loud among ordinary people in America.
If Lex Luthor is also a superhero with a hidden identity like Bruce Wayne, then Tony Stark would not be so surprised, but now Lex Luthor is suspected to be the mastermind behind the Doomsday incident, which makes Tony Stark somewhat unacceptable.
But it was unacceptable. This was the information conveyed by Robert. Tony Stark still asked Jarvis to start the investigation. However, the information Jarvis found was normal information on the surface. Even some internal information of Lex Group was found by Jarvis. But even so, Tony Stark did not find any abnormality.
"Is Lex Luthor hiding too deep, or did Robert make a mistake?" Tony Stark frowned and muttered as he looked at the information Jarvis found.
Although Jarvis is the top artificial intelligence on earth, he is not omnipotent, and there is no way to see all the intelligence and information on earth, otherwise the mysterious company established in secret would not have been completely undiscovered by the Avengers.
"You continue to investigate first. When I'm done with this, you can tell me the location of Lex Luthor and I'll go over and see if the truth can be revealed!" Robert was not too disappointed when he received the news from Tony Stark. If he found the secret of Lex Luthor directly, it would mean that the mastermind behind the scenes had no ability. Wouldn't it be more uncomfortable to be calculated by someone without ability?
"Tell me, how will you Skrulls deal with others after they replace others? And how many people have you replaced? Who are they?" Diana continued to interrogate Malik for information through the Lasso of Truth. (End of this chapter)
