Chapter 2442: Battle for the Cloak (Twenty-Nine)

Chapter 2473: The Battle for the Cape (Twenty-nine)

In the clock tower of the Prophet's base, Barbara looked at the protective device logos that lit up one after another on the computer screen and smiled. Now 80% of the protective device energy has been turned on. As long as there is danger, these devices can be used.

The Robins are also coming back one after another, but they no longer have the excitement of having to compete when they left. They are either frowning or thinking about something.

When everyone came back, Barbara poured them hot tea and asked, "What happened?"

"We encountered that mysterious fog again." Jason spoke first, "This time it showed many different properties, Dick, you go first."

Obviously, they had discussed it once in the communication channel before, and Dick also told the whole process of the incident that he summarized.

Barbara also came to a similar conclusion, and the rules in the fog she summarized were similar to those of the Robins.

"What I am most worried about now is that if Batman has returned to Gotham and encounters this kind of fog again, he might..."

Nightwing of the Arkham Universe said this, and everyone showed a worried expression. Obviously, this is not aimless. Since staying in the thick fog for too long will cause abnormalities, the seriously injured Batman might not even have a chance to rest.

"Don't worry too much, Batman can handle it. If he can't, at least he will send us..."

Just when she said this, the computer behind Barbara rang. She immediately pushed her wheelchair to see it, tapped the keyboard a few times with a serious face, and then said: "Our communication transceiver system captured a faint signal, which was sent from somewhere in Gotham City, but the specific location cannot be determined."

All the Robins came over. After Barbara analyzed it, she only got a lot of binary symbols. The Robins began to take turns to crack it. They are already used to cracking this kind of puzzle.

During the cracking process, Barbara said, "I think this may be sent by Batman. It is not convenient for him to contact us now, or he may be carrying out some secret plan."

Dick sighed and said, "I think our focus is to find the location of the signal and bring him back. A seriously injured patient said he wanted to hang out outside, and you just ignored him?"

"Don't say that, Dick." Red Robin shook his head and said, "It's not like we haven't tried it before. When did we succeed? It's better to follow his plan, at least it can have some effect."

Everyone was silent. They all knew that what Red Robin said made sense. No one present didn't know that Batman was a mental patient. Didn't they try it before? They couldn't.

Soon Robin of the Arkham Universe screamed, and saw that those originally chaotic binary symbols were arranged into a square by him, and a pattern was displayed on it.

"Cape! Batman's cape!"

Barbara was the first to recognize the pattern. It was obviously a cape with the Batman logo printed on it.

Why is it a cape? Everyone was confused, but Red Hood, who had witnessed Batman's battle, took out the bottle containing the five-dimensional demon. He shook the bottle vigorously and asked, "Hey, do you know anything?"

The demon was dizzy from the shaking inside. He knocked on the inner wall of the bottle and said, "Stop shaking! How do I know what cape is... Wait, is the cape you are talking about a long black cloth hanging behind the back?"

The Robins came over again, looking at the pairs of eyes staring at him, and the five-dimensional demon cleared his throat and said, "Okay, I don't know what a cape is, but if you are talking about the thing behind the hard and black iron shell, it has been taken away."

"Batman's cape was taken away? By whom? "

"My last master, Robin King." The little devil shrugged and said, "He appeared in front of Batman, and the two of them talked for a while. Robin King suddenly started yelling, snatched Batman's cape, wrote something on it, and then put the cape into his belt."

"Robin King snatched Batman's cape, wrote something on it, and finally took it away." Barbara sorted out the information she got from the five-dimensional little devil, and said as if she suddenly realized, "It seems that the written thing is very important. We have to take Batman's cape back."

Things are back to the starting point. They still have to deal with Robin King first, that is, they still have to attack Wayne Tower.

"I've said before that it's not enough to just activate the protective device and then sit and wait for death." Red Hood snorted coldly and said, "As long as the culprit is caught, everyone will be safe."

"I think we really can't delay any longer." Nightwing of the main universe packed up and said, "I guess there are crazy monsters released by him all around. If too many people go there, it's easy to alert the enemy. I'll go over and take a look at the situation."

Nightwing left quickly. Not long after he left, Barbara glanced at the computer and said, "Batman won't send us a message unless it's a very critical moment. What's on the cloak?"

In a Bat-safe house hidden in the sewers underground in Gotham, the main universe's Batman helped the Arkham universe's Batman lie down and helped him peel off the remaining armor fragments.

This was not an easy task, because at this time the Arkham universe's Batman had become a bloody man, his body was covered with coagulated blood, and almost all of his skin was completely peeled off, like a dying criminal after torture.

Those broken armors were embedded in his flesh and blood, and almost every move would bring unimaginable pain.

"I think you're a little too rash." Batman of the main universe said as tactfully as possible: "Before dancing with snakes, at least prepare the antidote serum first."

Batman of the Arkham Universe shook his head slightly. He didn't say a word while taking the armor fragments. It seemed that he didn't even have a pain reflex. He said in a very hoarse voice: "The only thing that surprised me was that Robin King took advantage of the connection between me and Jason's symbiote."

"So you didn't even need the symbiote in the end." Batman sighed deeply, and while treating the wound of Batman of the Arkham Universe, he said: "Tell me about your plan."

"Equation..." Arkham Batman only uttered such a word. He said: "If it weren't for Jason's accident, I would have got the equation now."

"What equation?"

"Anti-life equation."

Batman frowned deeply. He had never heard of this name, but he knew that he also had an equation in his hand, which was the main reason that attracted Darkseid to attack the earth where he was.

"Let's start from the beginning." Batman said.

"I need to change this country." Arkham Batman said, "I have to change it because I know that darkness will come soon."

"So..."

"I have to attract Darkseid." Arkham Batman closed his eyes and said, "This is what another Batman told me... No, he is not Batman anymore, another Bruce Wayne told me."

"There was no serious injury in our original plan." Arkham Batman's voice was extremely dry. He said, "Bruce in another universe also needs to change the situation in their universe country, so we worked out a plan together."

"The earth needs external pressure. Our chosen opponent is Darkseid. For this, we need a bait, which is the anti-life equation, but neither of us has this equation."

Batman frowned. He knew which Bruce the Batman in the Arkham universe was talking about, but he remembered that he and Bruce in the Schiller universe both had the equation.

Arkham Batman seemed to see what he was thinking, and he said: "What you have in your hand is not... not the complete anti-life equation, but a part of the life equation."

Batman nodded. In fact, he had already guessed that the equation in his hand was definitely not an ordinary thing. At that time, Darkseid in his universe attacked the earth just for this equation.

"How do you know that King Robin has the Anti-Life Equation?"

"Bruce has been to many dark universes..." Arkham Batman said, "He investigated the universe where King Robin was born. One of the heroes was killed by some anti-life creatures. The corpse of that creature was left behind and was discovered by Bruce."

"So this is a trap you set for King Robin?"

"Not now." Arkham Batman sighed and said, "Originally, I thought I had a symbiote in my body that could heal injuries. I gave the symbiote a lot of energy just to support King Robin's first wave of attacks."

"I know King Robin is very strong, and I don't want to defeat him. As long as I can still speak when he appears in front of me, I will have a way to use the half of the life equation Bruce gave me to trick King Robin into writing down his equally incomplete Anti-Life Equation."

"You did it."

"Yes, it's not difficult." Batman of the Arkham Universe paused and said, "He knows that the anti-life equation in his hand is not complete, otherwise it would not have any function except transforming anti-life creatures."

"He thinks that the half of the equation in my hand can help him complete the equation, so I showed him my half of the equation first..."

"Wait, aren't you worried that he will go back on his word?"

Arkham Batman snorted and said, "As long as you first devalue his inventions and put him in a situation where he can't refute you, his primary goal will naturally become to prove to you how talented he is."

Batman immediately understood that this was a trap set by Arkham Batman a long time ago, so he naturally had enough time to think about how to trap King Robin.

In fact, it's not difficult to think about it this way. The complete anti-life equation is probably very powerful, and everyone wants it, but if King Robin had it, he wouldn't have to kill a superhero and create a bunch of anti-life creatures.

The anti-life equation in his hand must be problematic. On the one hand, he strives to complete it, and on the other hand, it is revealed that the equation he came up with is a defective product.

The combination of the two, coupled with Batman's carefully woven rhetoric, made it easy for Robin King to be provoked to break down during the conversation, and he would choose to prove to Arkham Batman that he was the only genius in the world who could come up with the anti-life equation.

So after Arkham Batman showed the half of the incomplete life equation in his hand, Robin King might have had another inspiration, and completed the anti-life equation in front of Arkham Batman.

"So where is this anti-life equation now?"

"On my cape."
