Chapter 326: Shocking Change
"I'm not."
Chen Tao said:
"I'm Batman."
He looked at Talia, and then saw the assassin's daughter turned her head away: "Of course, you are Batman. You are always Batman first. No matter what you become, this will never change."
"What a pity."
She said: "Before I really met you, based on the information alone, I didn't fully believe that you had changed so much."
She elegantly pulled out the sharp blade from the screaming brain demon's head.
"You... I obviously controlled you... I read your thoughts, you are just a stupid woman who wants to steal a man from Wonder Woman... How did you... How did you..."
The brain demon's voice was intermittent. Although his head was stabbed, even at this moment, he was still concerned about why his ability was ineffective.
Oh... No. He was just delaying his recovery time. Chen Tao began to notice that the wound in his brain was constantly adding new cells at the nano level.
"You believe too much in your telepathic ability." Talia said, "Just like a person who has been walking with a cane for a long time can no longer walk after throwing away the cane. If you don't believe me, try it. You still have this chance to read my mind."
So the brain demon really did it.
Then he quickly withdrew with a confused look on his face: "You... you actually..."
"... I am cursing you in my mind in Spanish mixed with Arabic." Talia said:
"But you don't understand a word, you illiterate."
Chen Tao:...
This method of dealing with telepaths is quite effective. If the brain demon can't figure out what the Spanish and Arabic that Talia reads mean, then it means that he may also be deceived by the false ideas deliberately created by the other party.
But Talia is also amazing. She constructed a false idea with her will alone and deceived the brain demon. This is not something that ordinary people can do.
"Everything you read before was what I wanted you to find, idiot."
Talia raised her sword and pointed at the other party: "And now, are you ready to die?"
She raised her sword with murderous intent on her face. Everyone on the field guessed what Talia would do next.
Brain Demon's teammates tried to rescue him, but were blocked by the nanorobot blade swung by Chen Tao. The fluttering blade not only stopped the rushing mammoth, but also corroded the steel spikes driven by Weiguang's ability to control matter, and finally blocked the rocket fired by the small invention.
With the deafening explosion and air wave of the rocket, Talia backhandedly cut the neck of the brain demon.
As she pulled out the blade violently, the brain demon fell to the ground with a gurgling sound. He desperately covered his bleeding throat and made a sound of tracheal leakage.
Talia turned to look at Chen Tao: "You didn't stop me?"
"Why should I stop you?"
Chen Tao said.
"If you want to kill him to vent your anger, just kill him. It's nothing."
This sentence is quite normal except that it doesn't sound like something a superhero like Batman would say.
"Even if his throat is cut, I can still pull him up and continue working."
"...What?"
Chen Tao stretched out his hand, and strands of black gauze wrapped around his palm and soon flew to the brain demon with a hole in his neck.
In an instant, his wound was sutured, and the bleeding stopped immediately. He opened his eyes. Except for being a little weak due to excessive blood loss, he seemed to be fine. From the time his head and neck were cut open to now when he was restored to his original state, the whole process seemed like a joke.
"Is he... is he really okay?"
Talia wanted to check on the brain demon with some uncertainty, but as soon as her hand touched his shoulder, she suddenly heard the brain demon with his head down making a puffing sound.
"Hehe, hehe, hehe, hehe..."
"Ah!!!"
Talia was frightened by the creepy smile on the brain demon's face and took two steps back, then chopped the opponent's neck with a knife, and blood spurted out with a hissing sound. Chen Tao was so scared that he hurriedly repaired his neck.
"Don't cut it. Even if the nanorobots can close the wound in a short time, the brain demon will still die if he loses too much blood." Chen Tao stopped her, "This is a rare telepathic person. I still have use for him!"
Talia was pale and held the knife with lingering fear. She could no longer hold back the expression of "old friends meeting" on her face:
"I thought Lei Xiao Aogu (Note: Ninja Master, Talia's father, an antique who lived for 700 years) was the most evil person I have ever seen! What did you do to him?"
"It's just the potion of the Joker... I have been studying his legacy..." Chen Tao muttered, but in the end he said to Talia concisely: "It's just a means of control. When I took action, I used the nanorobots to release anesthetics to him, and then secretly injected him with some potions behind his back."
Chen Tao wiped his face, and then a pale, laughing face appeared on his face. He directly controlled those low-level "clown" creations through the Joker.
Talia stared at Batman's laughing face in disbelief.
Ah? What is this?
She had imagined countless times the scene of her meeting Batman again. She had thought that she would fight with Batman, and she had also thought that the next time they met, they would roll on the bed and merge, and even thought that they would get along like a real family of three...
But she had never thought that before she and Batman merged again, the Joker merged with Batman first!
She turned her head and looked at the villains around her, as well as the two metal villains, Steel Beam and Shrapnel, who were lying there not far away and had lost their combat effectiveness, and then sighed:
"Why don't you deal with these guys first, and then help Wonder Woman deal with Cheetah, Gigantamax, Silver Swan and Jinx, and then we can talk."
"I have something to tell you."
Clang!
Chen Tao turned around and saw Wonder Woman swinging her sword, then fiercely colliding with Leopard Woman's claws, then she held the shield in her hands and knocked over the giant woman who tried to grab her from behind, but her feet sank and half of her waist fell into the mud created by Jinx's magic.
"No," Chen Tao said, "Diana doesn't need my help yet. If she needs help, she will call me."
Chen Tao said, "I am now curious about the purpose of the person who planned all this behind the scenes. He turned to look at Talia.
"Talia, aren't you curious?"
Seeing that the other party did not answer, he said to himself, "Let me guess, you once created an organization, but one day you found that most of the people in this organization had been replaced by another organization, and you became a commander without troops, and the organization you created was out of your control. "
"That's right. "Talia said, "Leviathan once belonged to me. "
"Then they held you hostage, and used the telepath, Brain Demon, to control you and your child in an attempt to distract me through you, thereby delaying time, tripping me up, and achieving a secret that cannot be told."
"Yes, yes, that's right..."
Talia was about to nod, and then she suddenly froze. She turned her head and looked at Chen Tao: "You... you know?"
Chen Tao nodded: "Damian Wayne, you gave him a nice name."
Chen Tao ignored Talia who was doubting her life next to him, and continued: "No matter what the person behind the scenes wants to do, I have made sure that nothing will go wrong."
Chen Tao turned to Talia and asked: "Do you know the name of the organization that did this to you?"
"Not sure." Talia shook her head: "I was controlled by them before I could react. Although I corrected my mistakes and continued to act, I still knew nothing about them."
"They are the Crime Syndicate, an evil version of the Justice League that almost invaded our planet from a parallel universe. "Chen Tao briefly introduced the Crime Syndicate, and then said: "It seems that Night Owl and his outsiders must have discovered my important position in the Justice League." He boasted without blushing, and then said: "So they will definitely find a way to hide first, and then increase their chances of winning, and the most convenient way is..." Chen Tao just said this, his phone rang, he raised his arm, and it was Barry the Flash who called. "Batman, this is Barry the Flash Allen. I have helped Firestorm escape the attack just now. Someone did want to attack Firestorm... But I have solved the problem now, just as you arranged..."
Firestorm is a super form formed by two ordinary people who merged without any power. Their power comes from the Firestorm Matrix.
This is a very special thing. It not only allows the user to have flaming hair, but also allows Firestorm to emit "fusion decomposition waves" from his hands, which can pass through solids and change things by reorganizing atoms, and such changes are often permanent.
The most important point is that the Firestorm Matrix can accommodate more than two people. As long as it is slightly modified, Firestorm can immediately become a huge prison, locking up countless people.
In the comics about the Crime Syndicate that he had read in his previous life, after the Crime Syndicate came to the main world, they attacked the Justice League in the midst of a civil war and imprisoned most of the members in Firestorm.
If the Crime Syndicate in the comics would choose to use Firestorm to weaken the Justice League, then it should be the same now.
And the facts were exactly as Chen Tao expected. Everything in front of him was too deliberate, and even made him feel a little bored.
He knew the other party too well. This understanding was not only from the information given to him by the Joker, but more from his understanding of the other party from the comics.
He had a basic idea of what the Crime Syndicate wanted to do, which was like shooting an arrow before drawing the target, setting a trap on the opponent's target, keeping a backup plan, and then waiting for the opponent to take action.
Although he didn't know when the opponent would take action before, the moment Talia appeared in front of him today, he already knew that the Crime Syndicate had taken action, and then he naturally and logically notified Barry the Flash and ordered him to find the opponent through the locator left for Firestorm in advance, and calmly lead him out of the opponent's trap...
Everything was easy.
"Hmm, who are the people sent by the other side? What? Atomic Family? Who are they? Oh, that group of atomic robot villains, right? It doesn't matter, don't confront them head-on..."
"What, there are nuclear power plants around you?" Chen Tao's voice rose eight degrees: "Don't fight there!"
"...Hmm, not bad, it seems that our enemy Crime Syndicate has chosen a good place to fight - but refuse him, tell him that we want to choose the place ourselves."
Chen Tao hung up the phone, shrugged, and said: "Nothing new."
Then he made another call in front of Talia: "Hello, can you hear me? Lex Luthor, how are you doing over there?"
He who has read the comics knows very well that in addition to Firestorm, there is another important point for Crime Syndicate:
Lex Luthor. This bald egg, Superman's biggest opponent, looks like a Viking on Earth 3, with thick hair. Unlike Lex, he has similar powers to Shazam and Black Adam. He summons lightning to gain power after shouting "Shazam" and can absorb the power of the superpowers he kills. Therefore, he kills superpowers crazily on Earth 3 and is so strong that no one in the Syndicate can compete with him. After using the Super Queen's Submission Lock to eliminate his power, he was imprisoned by the Syndicate and brought to the main world.
However, he is the homonym of Lex Luthor, which means that their voices are exactly the same, which means that Luthor's voice can give power to Shazam and eliminate his power.
Although in the original plot, the Crime Syndicate did not discover that Lex Luthor was the homonym of Shazam, nor did they discover the fact that "Luthor's voice can transform Shazam", which led to Luthor relying on this information to win Shazam in the final decisive battle and completely defeat him.
But out of caution, in order to prevent the current Crime Syndicate from discovering, Chen Tao had already notified Luthor to guard against the Crime Syndicate in advance, which was enough for Luthor to be well prepared to resist the opponent.
He did not ask how Luthor prepared specifically, which was a kind of distrust and insult to Bald Egg. He never doubted Luthor's strength. No matter what villain he faced, Luthor was uniquely strong.
In the comics, as one of the biggest villains of the Justice League and Superman, he could always easily defeat the enemy without his Batman worrying about it. Chen Tao never looked down on the other party because he was harmless now.
However, on the other end of the phone, he heard Killer Croc's panicked voice.
"Oh no, Batman, Luthor was captured by the Crime Syndicate!!!"
Chen Tao: "Fuck."
