Chapter 100 The Warriors' Defeat

[Warning! Warning!]

[Batman No. 52, your danger level has increased]

[You have been upgraded from no level to F level]

The silver-white font of the Alfred Protocol stopped on Chen Tao's retina, and the huge stinging feeling that ran through his brain disappeared, replaced by a clear mind.

"This is impossible."

Bane was a little numb.

He didn't know how many times he had said this word, perhaps dozens, perhaps hundreds.

But do you know what is different from the past?

He has no more cards.

He is at his wit's end.

He said: "No matter what, you can't be unscathed in such a close-range nuclear explosion."

Frustration.

Intense frustration. Bane looked at the dragon that finally appeared in front of him.

All the appearance features of Batman were different from what he had seen before, but there was only one thing that had never changed.

Eyes.

Those indifferent eyes, eyes looking down from above.

Those contemptuous eyes, the smile hidden deep inside, always mocked his powerless struggle.

He said: "I have clearly calculated that even a nano body would..."

"It would also be seriously injured, right?"

Chen Tao answered him. After he turned into a dinosaur, his voice became more dull and deafening: "Actually, I'm curious about one thing."

"Take a look at what you have on you, Bane. Amber gold, Titan venom, the green of all things, the black of decay."

"You borrowed my power."

Bane immediately realized without him saying: "Venom?"

But he continued:

"But even so, it's not that bad..."

"Super double venom," Chen Tao said: "I caught your subordinate, nicknamed 'Zombie', remember?"

"So what, you are just..."

"I controlled him with the Mad Hatter's chip and provided him with the most advanced laboratories and instruments. The drugs made in that place are much higher in purity and mildness than those made in your small workshop."

Bane was speechless for a moment.

He originally thought that the other party would say something like "My willpower is stronger", "I have overcome the venom", "Venom makes me stronger", which might make him feel better.

Venom is indeed affected by purity. Although high-purity venom will greatly test the user's body, it will undoubtedly bring more powerful power.

"You only rely on these..."

"And amber gold."

Chen Tao said like a treasure: "And the water of the Lazarus Pool."

"And the protective clothing prepared in advance," Chen Tao explained: "It is better to say that it is protective armor than protective clothing. The cost is at least more than 2 billion US dollars, which is about the same as the most expensive fighter."

Chen Tao added in his heart:

And the body of the undead claw bat zombie...

"And Dr. Phosphorus."

Bane turned his head and saw that Dr. Phosphorus was indeed missing from the Arkham people.

Chen Tao explained:

"Like the Atomic Skull, Dr. Phosphorus is also a superhuman who can absorb the energy of nuclear bomb explosions. His power also comes from nuclear energy. Although his combat power is not strong, he is like a large rechargeable battery."

Bane knew that he had underestimated the other party.

"But I clearly defeated him on the way here like many Arkham people..."

"Mr. Skeleton is just a tool. We only need him to absorb energy. It doesn't matter what he is beaten into. He is just one of many tools."

"Do I need to tell you in detail how much preparation I have made for this?"

Bane stopped talking, because he didn't need to know how Batman escaped, because all this had already happened and was of no help to the current situation.

But he couldn't help asking, he knew very well that this was a feeling of regret and loss.

He analyzed his mind very clearly, but he couldn't control himself.

He knew that he couldn't let this emotion control him anymore.

"So, is it the end now?"

He asked: "Is this the final decisive battle?"

"No doubt." Chen Tao answered him: "Do you have any other trump cards?"

Bane was silent.

Of course not.

Failed.

Being pushed to the edge by Batman, all his plans were in vain, surrounded by people like Bat, and Bat became stronger.

The odds are slim.

Bane closed his eyes, then opened them.

But... I'm still here.

There was a tsunami surging in his eyes.

Bane is still here!

"Do you think you can win?"

Bane's eyes flickered like stars in the dark night.

Those failures could not defeat him——

I know who I am.

"Do you think I will definitely lose?"

I am Bane, I am a warrior of justice, I want to defeat the dragon.

I know that the only one in the world who can defeat me is him.

"Ah——"

But you raised your fist and prepared for a fierce battle.

You roared, and the long-accumulated anger was smoothly released under the control of your calm mind.

The thick green color, like ink, made half of your body appear lush green.

More green leaves grew from the woody muscles and spread to the top of your head.

You roared.

Under the bright moonlight, the warrior rushed towards the dragon alone.

But——it was in vain.

You can't defeat him.

Once again, you reviewed all the optional paths, and all the optional paths pointed to the same ending, which is your end.

It was fierce.

You punched the giant dinosaur in the face.

But before the fist touched the skin, the huge dragon face disintegrated into black mist and surged around the fist.

Then the next second, your chest was gently stroked by a sharp blade.

Crunch, squeak, squeak, squeak--

It was like a saw sawing a piece of iron, a sound that made people's teeth ache.

"It's useless!" You roared: "You can't do anything to me--"

Before you finished speaking, your whole body was entangled by countless black sands.

Then you saw countless car parts metal mixed with dinosaur green muscle tissue and many miscellaneous venom infusion tubes, condensed into a terrible fist in front of you.

Then the next moment.

The world was shaken, and blood filled your lips and nostrils.

One of your ribs was bent into your lungs, and you took a deep breath, but in vain.

The edge of your vision began to deform, then blurred and dim.

You fought back, you always fought back.

But everything ended in the same way, darkness rushed towards you, breathing stopped, and the world became dark.

You fell to the ground.

You saw the black giant blade slide across your chest again, making a teeth-grinding sound, like cutting steel and gnawing wood.

The aftermath poured onto the ward of the Arkham Asylum next to you, splitting the huge floor in two, and then collapsed with a loud noise, raising a cloud of dust.

Your consciousness was blurred.

You heard the illusory singing:

"Through me, you will enter the city of weeping...Through me, you will enter endless suffering..."

"...Before me, everything was unformed..."

"...Those who come, quickly abandon all hope!"

So you fell to the ground, and your body was scattered in the darkness of the wilderness.

You felt a little warm and relieved.

(Note: The poem that Bane heard was from Dante's "Divine Comedy")

Great, I'm finally done.
