Chapter 2441: Battle for the Cloak (Twenty-Eight)

Chapter 2472: The Battle for the Cape (Twenty-eight)

Bruce used his tentacles to lift Robin King's body onto the table nearby, and turned to Schiller and asked, "What do you want to do? Open his skull? Maybe we can try to start from the eye sockets..."

Schiller understood that he was euphemistically asking whether to give Robin King a frontal lobotomy, but he knew that this method would not work. The editor who created Robin King had already said that this guy was just a teenage version of a laughing maniac. His strength did not come from his physical condition, but from the settings of the top management, so even if his brain was used, it would be difficult to turn him into an idiot.

"Take the box off his belt first." Schiller looked at the box on the front of Robin King's belt and said, "There seem to be a lot of props in it. See if there are any you can use, and give the rest to the other Robins."

Bruce was not polite. He had been staring at Robin King for a long time, and naturally knew how powerful his ability to take out the right props from his belt was at any time. He wanted to see what this belt was about.

After untying the belt and taking the box, Bruce seemed a little disappointed because he found that he couldn't open the box.

This is not surprising. After all, if there are really some extremely powerful props in it, King Robin will definitely not take precautions. Bruce used tentacles and Naia's energy, but he couldn't do anything with the box on the belt.

Schiller was more concerned about King Robin's body. He took a quick look and found that King Robin's skin was corroded now. It is very likely that he was thrown into the pool used to transform Robin by Crazy Laughter.

This means that King Robin's current physical condition is more complicated than Schiller imagined, because there is a possibility that King Robin's brain does have congenital lesions, but after he was thrown into the pool, he added another layer of crazy influence. Schiller needs to carefully distinguish which are congenital lesions and which are acquired transformations. This is a more troublesome task.

"We have to find a quieter place." Schiller said, "His spirit body won't be back in a short time, so we can study where his madness comes from."

Little Bruce is actually more interested in the box on the belt, but since it can't be opened now, it's better to do research with Schiller. Maybe it can be opened after the secret of King Robin is cracked.

After a little thought, the two came to the laboratory under Wayne Tower. After Batman of the Arkham Universe became president, most of the experiments conducted here were related to energy innovation. Little Bruce could see that in addition to trying to make up for the loopholes in the entire American system, the president also planned to build a new engine for the country.

Just when Schiller was doing a basic check on King Robin, Little Bruce found more traces left by President Wayne here. It seems that the Batman of this universe will collect some reports about new policies and write some annotations. Now all these materials are stored here.

Little Bruce can understand why he doesn't go back to the study in Wayne Manor to do these things. When he stayed in Wayne Manor in the main universe, there was no quiet day. The Robins were really too noisy.

Bruce looked around and found that President Wayne's reputation was quite high. He had been in office for only a year, but there were signs of unification in all parts of the federation.

As we all know, the United States is not so much a unified big country as a union of a bunch of powerful small countries. The power of each state is unimaginable. Compared with issuing orders, the president is more like waving flags and shouting. He shouted, but whether the people below listened or not was another matter.

But Wayne, the president, did not come to power through elections. He was directly at the gates of the city and put on a yellow robe. For Batman at the time, the situation had reached a point where he had to go.

It is also well known that kings who are difficult to convince the public during the process of coming to power will always use some small means after coming to power, and the era after that will be peaceful and tranquil.

After all, there is no way. If you come to power through means that are not in line with the previous rules, there must be a lot of troublemakers below, and if you don't suppress them, you can't sit in this position steadily.

At that time, Bruce Wayne had to be the president even if he didn't want to be. His and Robin's true identities were exposed. If he didn't take economic and political measures, he would not be able to be Batman, and his children would also die socially.

In this case, he was already in power, so it was impossible for the people below to shake his position.

So the first thing Bruce Wayne did after he came to power was to build a strong government, and the most important step in building a strong government was to cut down the vassal states.

Many people would think about this question: what would happen if Batman, the strongest character in the history of comics, became the emperor?

The answer is that no matter how fiercely those state governments and capital groups shouted, they couldn't do anything to him.

On the one hand, they couldn't fight back with force. Wayne directly brought Zenith technology. Who could beat this living father? On the other hand, their political minds and economic means were far inferior to the super genius Batman. They were divided and divided by him in a very short time. When it comes to manipulating power, Batman is no less inferior.

In this way, most of the local powers of the entire United States Federation were taken back in less than a year, solving the problem of separatist regimes, and basically solving most of the problems in the United States.

The United States has too much capital. If it were not for the disasters buried in the early days of the founding of the country, it would not have been able to become a complete person, and it would not have declined at such a fast speed. If this problem is solved, it will not be a problem to lie on the gold mountain and eat the capital for another 50 years.

At this stage, the Batman President of the Arkham Universe faced the problem faced by Bruce in the universe where Schiller was located - the fundamental problem of the capitalist system.

There is no perfect system in this world, but the capitalist system is obviously a bit too imperfect. Although it is full of contradictions in theory, the description on paper has even been beautified a lot, and there are more problems in actual operation.

The world's number one superpower has operated this system for so many years, and the accumulated stubborn diseases are countless. The most anxious problem for the ruler is only one: the bomb will explode sooner or later, but you don’t know where it will explode or how big it will explode.

The bomb in Bruce's universe has obviously exploded, and it exploded in a very bizarre way. Who would have thought that the music festival was still being held happily one second ago, and the economy of almost the entire country exploded into fireworks in the next second.

Bruce had indeed anticipated this. The Cold War had come to this point. It depended on which of them could hold on and not collapse. If one of them could hold on, the other would definitely collapse.

It was like there were two starving ghosts, but there was only one steamed bun. Who could still chew the bun and swallow it? The other would definitely starve to death.

The United States in Schiller's universe not only failed to gnaw the giant bear's corpse, but also because the Soviet Union's lingering breath forced Europe to unite, and the United States' plan to destroy its father was no longer expected. This time it was completely starved to death.

The day after the outbreak of the economic crisis, the government was completely shut down, and state governments declared bankruptcy one after another. The capitalists and politicians refused to let go when they had meat to eat, but they ran away quickly when they found that there was no food. They evacuated in less than a day, and the entire country became anarchic in the physical sense.

Almost at the same time, after solving the political problems, President Batman of the Arkham Universe found that this was not the end, but the beginning of the beginning. The mess left for him was the kind of dead end that would have been effective in the early stage of treatment, but now there is no solution.

They had exchanged a few words in the system of the fighting world.

Bruce found this out in the letters they corresponded later. It is very likely that one of them sent a group message - Bruce guessed that it was the younger Batman - and then it was received by the other party. Both parties found that they were facing the same problem now.

So the two of them began to communicate, and the main research direction was how to solve the fundamental contradiction of this system.

Then these two super geniuses came to the same conclusion, that is, there is no solution in this world.

But this did not discourage Batman. He understood that if there was no solution to a problem, it would prove that it was not wise to stick to this problem, so it would be better to study another problem.

Since the contradiction cannot be solved, is there a way to delay this contradiction indefinitely, which is equivalent to never erupting.

After the two of them studied it, they found that this method really existed, that is, the so-called suffering of the people.

With Batman's force, it won't be a problem to suppress them for a few hundred years. If he starts plundering the whole world and sucks blood while suppressing, he can indeed drag out a prosperous era.

But is Batman trying to leave a name in history? Of course not, so this method is completely putting the cart before the horse.

In the end, the two of them still came to the same conclusion - there is no solution on Earth, so they can only go outside the Earth.

The exchange of letters came to an abrupt end here. Because there was really no confidential information, these letters were not encrypted. After reading them, little Bruce didn't see what they wanted to do. I'm afraid the same is true for other people who read these letters.

But little Bruce is different from ordinary people. After all, he is Bruce Wayne, who can think from the perspective of others. Since the final conclusion is that a solution must be sought outside the Earth, then from the perspective of human history, this so-called solution can only be two words - war.

Whether it is an alien invasion or an active war, it can well divert the internal contradictions of the Earth, thereby diverting the internal contradictions of the United States.

Because a lean camel is bigger than a horse. If the earth is facing a crisis of destruction, the first thing other countries will do is to unite to save the United States. They can't cut off one arm first when facing a powerful enemy, right?

They don't even need to save it. They just need to not add insult to injury when facing a powerful enemy. Bruce Wayne can always give this country a break with his extraordinary means.

But the question is, where does this foreign enemy come from?

Little Bruce thought about it. He felt that the plan of randomly sending signals to attract aliens must be unreliable, because the people attracted are uncontrollable. What if the other party really destroys the earth with one shot?

In Batman's view, alien invasions and the start of interstellar wars to generate pressure must be controllable. Even if he cannot control his opponents, he must at least understand them.

When it comes to the desire to invade the earth and Batman's understanding of it, Bruce has to think of one person - Darkseid, the emperor of Apokolips.
