Chapter 2521: Battle for the Cloak (Fifty-One)
Chapter 2495: The Battle for the Cape (Fifty-one)
Finally, the Robins from the Schiller Universe persuaded the others because what they said made sense. If Batman is really dead, then you should take revenge and choose a successor.
But the problem is that there is now sufficient evidence to prove that he is not dead. This is just part of his plan. Then everyone is still Robin. Their job is to be Batman's assistant. Now that Batman has assigned a task, who else will go?
Let's take a step back and say that they are thinking about dividing the family property before the person dies. Even if Batman has become President Wayne now, you will see whether he comes back to deal with you.
The Batman of the Arkham Universe is particularly quiet, which actually means that he is particularly intimidating. One of the main reasons why he and the Robins don't have a good relationship is that he is too majestic.
However, the majesty he had established on weekdays came in handy at this time. When they thought that Batman might settle accounts with them after he came back, the Robins of the Arkham Universe said that they were still weak birds and it was better for them to stay in their nests.
The Robins of the main universe were still eager to make trouble because they did not suffer much from the thick fog. However, this was the Arkham Universe after all, so they could only follow the host's will.
In this way, the focus of the Robins was to find a way to attack Wayne Tower to find King Robin and get Batman's cape back from him. However, the first thing they had to overcome was still the thick fog on the long journey from here to Wayne Tower.
While everyone was enthusiastically discussing the types of monsters in the thick fog and how to deal with them, Batman and Batwoman were discussing another matter.
They were not as interested in a certain existence in this accident as the Robins. They were more comprehensive and observed from a macro perspective.
In this way, they faced a more difficult problem-who was the real mastermind behind the scenes and where he was.
Batman had already made a guess in his mind.
Don't forget what he had just deduced before coming here. It is very likely that there is a mixture of the Joker and Batman causing trouble in various universes.
He had just deduced this, and something happened in the Arkham universe. Who else could be the mastermind behind this?
Batwoman had heard about Batman's guess, but she thought it was too absurd. She simply couldn't imagine what it would be like if the Joker and Batman were combined.
But this did not prevent them from deducing what this guy would do based on the code of conduct of Batman and the Joker.
Batman first pointed out the key point, "What do you think the purpose of the mastermind is?"
"This is not a question, but a hint." Batwoman said immediately: "It is indeed strange. If he wants to invade this universe, there is no need to go through so many detours and go through so much trouble. Just throw those weird-looking Robins into the army."
"If his target is the Batman of this universe, then he should let the so-called Robin King kill him with one blow, instead of trapping him. Such a person will not have any extra sympathy."
"The only thing I can think of now is that he is after that equation. If, as you said, the power of that equation is extremely powerful, then he must want it, and he wants to get a complete one directly."
Batwoman obviously meant to send Robin King to get the half equation that Batman has from Arkham Batman, use Robin King's wisdom to synthesize the complete equation, and then sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor.
As for why she didn't just take the half in King Robin's hand, Batwoman guessed that there might be a grudge between the two of them, and they were in a relationship of mutual use. King Robin would never give it to him, so she could only use this method to catch the cicada while waiting for the oriole behind.
"But the second half of the plan..." Batwoman dragged out a long tone. She really didn't understand it, especially the part related to the thick fog. What was she doing?
What good would it do for him to put all these people in a dream? You say it's to make the other party lose their ability to act, and then sneak attack, but you can sneak into the other party and steal the other party's soul, so wouldn't it be easy to destroy the body by the way? Why go around in such a big circle?
Batman soon realized that Batwoman probably didn't deal with the Joker too much because of her experience in this universe, or she was a love-brained person, and she didn't pay much attention to the Joker at all, and her attention was all on her dead boyfriend.
This caused Batwoman to ignore a special attribute of the mastermind behind the scenes-he is the Joker, and all his plans are not for profit, but for attacking the heart.
It is not impossible to say that the Joker made a plan to obtain a key prop, but this plan must be a process, not a result, and certainly not his original purpose.
He must have taken this prop in the end to arrange a bigger plan, and the purpose of this ultimate plan is to break Batman's mind.
From this perspective, many seemingly meaningless operations of the mastermind behind the scenes are explained.
First of all, Robin King's attack caused Arkham Batman to suffer severe physical damage. Pain will torture the human spirit, make thinking scattered, and weaken mental strength.
Secondly, letting Arkham Batman know that Jason, who was already mentally unstable, was stimulated again, which was another mental shock, adding another burden to the mental weakness that was already weak due to physical weakness.
Then, Superman also fell into weakness and pain in order to save himself, and even completely lost his previous powerful strength, becoming worse than ordinary people, which would also make Batman more painful.
In other words, all of this is actually just to torture Batman and make him very weak when entering the dream world.
And the Joker's ultimate goal is to defeat Batman, so there must be more disasters in the dream world later, and they are the kind of disasters that go straight to the essence and make Batman completely collapse.
"What will it be?" Batwoman asked.
"No, we can't think along these lines." Batman denied her and said, "Let's just assume that the Joker really has this ability. He has prepared a perfect plan and is fully confident that he can completely defeat Batman's mind in the final dream moment. So where do you think the Joker will be at this time?"
Batman and Batwoman looked at each other, and the answer was self-evident - how could the Joker allow someone else to destroy Batman personally?
"He often imagines my collapse and calls it a great turning point." Batman said, "In normal times, he hopes to be the only jester in front of me, and at this moment, he must be the only audience."
"In other words, the monster that combines Batman and the Joker is likely to be in the dream world now." Batwoman said.
Batman nodded and said, "Be ready to rush out and give Batman a fatal blow at any time. It seems that we have to go there."
Batwoman knew that he was referring to the hole near the portal. Of course, they also knew how dangerous it was to jump directly, but things had come to this point. I'm afraid that this game has reached its final stage, and they have to go there.
Clark stayed behind to guard the bodies of the ill-fated couple Batman and Superman in Arkham, while Batman and Batwoman headed for the cave entrance where the portal was located.
The thick fog still lurked with danger, but it was not yet a match for Batman and Batwoman. They soon arrived near the cave entrance, and before jumping down, Batwoman asked.
"What about the mysterious visitor in the fog? What role do you think he plays in such a play?"
Batman remembered the tarot card, so he said, "He is far more mysterious than anyone imagined. The monster provoked him in order to let the thick fog cover everything... He will pay a greater price than he imagined."
The two quickly jumped down the cave entrance.
After a long fall, they soon found themselves on the roof of a building. Looking down, it was a very strange city, which looked like Gotham, but with many more buildings that Gotham did not have.
"Don't worry about it." Batman said, "Everything is possible in the dream world. If that monster gets the power to fabricate dreams, nothing he fabricates is strange."
Batwoman knew that Batman was reminding her not to argue with the madman about logic. If the other party is really a combination of Batman and the Joker, it would be crazy.
"We have to find Batman." Batman looked far away and said, "There must be information about the Wayne Group in the newspapers and news media. Let's check it now."
This is simple for them. They just went into a newspaper office to look for news. As expected, the Wayne Group is no longer called the Wayne Group. They also learned about what happened that year from old newspapers.
"It seems that we are no longer the heirs." Batwoman sighed and said, "But to find a person named Bruce Wayne among ordinary people..."
"Go to the Gotham Police Department." Batman said, "They will definitely record where little Bruce went back then. As long as we can find the files, we can figure out what happened to Batman in this fabricated dream world."
It was almost dark, and the two of them found the Gotham Police Department in the last rays of the setting sun. To be precise, it was a combination of the Gotham and New York Police Departments. The city is called New Jersey City.
The formal method would definitely not be able to retrieve the files. The two waited for a while, and when it was completely dark, they climbed into the police station with familiarity, locked the archive room as quickly as possible, pried open the door and walked in.
The next second, the two were enveloped by the light of the flashlight.
"Who's there?!" A female voice came from the depths of the archive room.
Batman and Batwoman looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. They also met their colleagues?
As a result, the flashlight flickered again and again, revealing a police uniform. Batman and Batwoman immediately realized that this was not a colleague, but a mouse meeting a cat.
What else could be said? Batwoman rushed over, kicked the flashlight away with a side kick, and then quickly grabbed the opponent and pinned him down.
Batman picked up the flashlight that fell on the ground. With the light, the two saw that the person being pinned down was a female police officer, and her name was written on her work ID - "Vigus Gein".
Sorry I overslept
