Chapter 437 Batman Is Always One Step Ahead, Night Owl and Abandoned Son
A dark corner in the universe.
"Are you okay, Night Owl?"
Grell...Darkseid's daughter. She cooperated with Night Owl to kill his father Darkseid and eradicate the evil bloodline from him in her.
At this moment, when she walked into Night Owl's owl cave, she saw that it was pitch black inside. In the dim light reflected by the computer screen, Night Owl sat alone in front of the owl computer.
He had taken off his helmet, revealing his mortal face under the helmet.
This was an unexpected scene, because Night Owl had not revealed his true identity in front of others for a long time. Grell's dark red eyes inherited from Darkseid. Flowing in the corners of the surrounding rooms, she knew that if Night Owl was here now, it meant that he was confident that he could solve her at any time.
Night Owl looked at the screen.
On the screen, Nightwing Dick Grayson was sticking out his hips and exercising with fitness equipment in the venue belonging to Night Owl. His streamlined muscles, due to his low body fat percentage, protruded on his uniform like a peacock with its tail spread.
On a sub-screen next to him, the space hunter Violent Wolf was lit. The strongest man put his big feet on his space motorcycle, and the other hand was on the iron chain connected to the back of the iron hook hanging on the front of the motorcycle and the other end was connected to his waist.
"You are here."
Grell heard the voice of Night Owl. The voice seemed a little hoarse and weak, as if something was drained.
She walked to the side of Night Owl, and then she noticed that Night Owl's eyes were full of bloodshot, as if he had not closed his eyes for several days and nights.
His eyes were full of hardship and haggardness, and the whole person seemed to have aged 10 years.
"Turn on the light and I will talk to you again." Grell said.
Night Owl did so.
Soon the lights illuminated the entire Owl Cave, and Greer said, "I have been following the Atlantis situation, and Lord Orm is developing exactly as we expected."
Night Owl did not speak, neither expressed approval nor gave any other instructions, like a body with its soul taken out. Greer did not understand what was happening to him now, but continued, "Preparations for Starro are also in place."
"Through Lord Orm, we can make Conqueror Starro achieve what we want. That cosmic starfish is unworthy of being called a mind controller, and you are playing with it in your hands. I still admire you for this, Night Owl."
Seeing that Night Owl did not respond, Greer continued to report what she was going to say:
"Over at the Red of All Living Things, due to the relentless pressure from Anton Akain, the Lord of the Corrupted Country, the members of the Blood Church affiliated with the Red of All Living Things are also planning to make the Red of All Living Things grow in an abnormal way. They are always like this, just as you showed me the information - Plant Master Jackwood also tried to let the Green of All Things swallow Devouring the Red of All Things, and now the Red of All Things wants to devour the Green of All Things in turn. When facing danger, the first reaction is not to solve the danger, but to do everything possible to harm others, strengthen oneself, and then confidently think that they can escape the mouth of the beast. They will never learn to cooperate with others, and this is where we can use them. "
"Darkthorn (Note: a magic character, a druid who masters magic, and the plant master Jason Wood, and Poison Ivy are all representatives of the Green of All Things) has completely thrown himself into the arms of the Red of All Things. This traitor of the Green of All Things will be the first opportunity for the Red of All Things to show the dark side to Batman. I have introduced Lord Orm to them. The people of Darkthorn and the Church of Blood have now begun to cooperate with each other. I thought they were controlling Lord Orm, just as you expected, Night Owl. ”
She said: “And all of this, all of these people, are like puppets being manipulated, becoming chess pieces on our chessboard. Our plan to manipulate them has been completely successful. At that time, the people of the entire earth will become users of the power of the Red of All Creatures. In this way, according to the intelligence we have collected before, these millions of people transformed by the Red of All Creatures will be enough to become Batman’s living battery. ”
“Plus Aquaman Arthur Curry. What you asked me to do has been successful. While we transformed him, we still retained his sanity. He was crazy in the trench for a while, and I thought it failed... But now, his connection with the Red of All Creatures has been fully established, and he has The powerful life force within will become the key for the red of all living things to devour the green of all things. Apart from the change in appearance, his IQ was hardly affected, although this may be the reason why his IQ was not high to begin with. Batman was so overwhelmed by the Kryptonian affairs that he didn't realize the changes in Aquaman at all. "
She turned around and sat on the edge of the computer operating table: "Batman is known for his wisdom, but you are better. He didn't even realize that everything was your handiwork. General Zod knew nothing and he couldn't tell Batman anything. "
"You have already given Batman Parallax and Ion Shark, and helped him control the Crime Syndicate. Everything is under your control, Night Owl."
Night Owl still didn't respond.
This strange state made Greer somewhat dissatisfied, but Greer continued: "I have secretly informed General Zod and asked him to find a way to meet Supergirl. And Supergirl will tell General Zod the message you want to convey. Then the last piece of the puzzle has been put together, Batman will be strengthened by you to an unprecedented degree, and Darkseid..."
She paused, then continued: "And Superboy Prime, have you figured out his position on the Origin Wall?"
Night Owl still didn't speak, Greer frowned, and finally lost patience: "What's wrong with you? Are you dumb? I thought I came here to discuss the next step with you."
She said: "Or are you still brooding over the last failure of the Mobius Chair? What's the importance of that thing to you? Are you listening to me?"
"All this is meaningless." Night Owl whispered.
His voice was a little dejected.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing." Night Owl said.
He casually made up a lie to Greer: "What I mean is that these alone are not enough to strengthen Batman to the limit and enable him to fight against the Anti-Monitor. We need Superboy-Prime. He alone can replace all our previous plans. You should have seen the previous intelligence about Superboy-Prime."
"Yes, that's right." Greer nodded.
This is why Night Owl didn't intend to hide it in front of the other party at all.
With Greer's brain, what if she didn't hide it? What can she detect? Night Owl only needs one sentence to dispel her doubts. This is a dimensionality reduction attack on IQ. Greer never realized that although she was standing next to Night Owl at this time and talking to the other party as an ally, she was still a puppet controlled by the other party.
Chess pieces always imagine themselves as chess players. In this regard, Greer is no different from Lord Orm, many members of the Red of All Creatures, and even Starro.
In front of Night Owl...
All people are just useful tools, and Batman is the same in this regard.
Night Owl thought silently.
Batman claimed that those people were his companions, and that the Justice League was an alliance rather than his dictatorship.
But Night Owl knew that Batman was the same as him. In Batman's view, those people were not his teammates at all, but just human tools.
He would do what he wanted... Even if he didn't do that, it didn't matter.
But do you know what the saddest thing is?
The plan has changed. Although the process and the result have not changed, the purpose has changed. The Mobius Chair has revealed to Night Owl that what he did has no effect, so Night Owl must consider Plan B. He always has Plan B, even though this plan may seem very, very cruel.
He once thought about preserving both worlds at the same time, and his previous plans were based on this attitude, but you know, things are always not so satisfactory.
"Abandoned."
Night Owl said.
"That's right, Lord Orm and the others are abandoned. They only need to strengthen Batman to achieve our goal." Greer nodded and said, "I will continue to follow up on the plan."
You see, abandoned people never feel that they are abandoned.
And the people who are really cared about by Night Owl... the people who are really not going to give up by Night Owl...
After Greer left.
Night Owl turned his head and looked at Dick Grayson, the Nightwing who had been working out on the computer screen. Suddenly, he pulled the microphone next to the Owl computer to his mouth.
"You heard everything I said just now, Dick. You have been here for so long, and you have already figured out the basic situation, right? How long do you plan to pretend?"
Nightwing on the screen looked normal, as if he hadn't heard anything.
He raised his American hips again and slammed them against the fitness equipment, as if this was just an ordinary buttocks raised in millions of ordinary fitness. He wiped the sweat from his head, and the corners of his mouth curled up a smile that fascinated millions of girls.
Night Owl shook his head: "I know you have tried many times, but don't try, you won't have a chance to pass the information to Batman."
He put on the owl mask and looked at a corner of the room: "I know you installed a bug here, and then over there..."
He looked at another corner, and then the hood detected a bright spot: "Some nanorobots? Old tricks. Don't think I don't know, Metal Spirit."
He operated on the owl computer for a while, and soon a box suddenly rose from the corner of the room, imprisoning some tiny spores of plants in the air, followed by a small insect lying in the corner of the room.
"Batman left a lot of tricks on you." Night Owl commented: "But they are all tricks that have been played."
He said: "Batman sent you to my side, do you think I don't know what he is thinking?"
"You..."
Night Owl wanted to say something, but he suddenly frowned.
Because he saw Nightwing, who was still working out, suddenly put down his fitness measures. He stood up directly, as if he had heard some instructions, fumbled around the gym, and then found the camera directly, smiled at the camera, and showed his white porcelain teeth.
This is impossible.
When Nightowl secretly monitored Dick Grayson, he used a hidden camera, which was a technology derived from the Father Box. Do you think it was a hidden camera left by a pervert in a roadside inn? Is it so easy to find?
From Dick Grayson's perspective, this position should be just an ordinary wall.
On the other screen, the dozing Wolf suddenly turned his head... No, it wasn't him who turned his head, but the necklace on his neck seemed to be alive, and it pulled his head sideways, almost breaking his neck... Although this force was not enough to break Wolf's neck, it was just a metaphor.
The necklace on his neck flowed like water, and then condensed into the head of Batman:
"You made a mistake."
Night Owl frowned and stood up.
Baolang was awakened by the movement of the necklace. He opened his eyes blankly, and then three question marks floated on his head: "My *** Batman!? Why is it always you?"
Then Nightwing on another screen said:
"There is not one spy, but two - what does this mean, Batman, what does it mean to not have to pretend? Wait, do you have a spy besides me? Oh, okay, okay."
He shrugged and showed the smile that fascinated thousands of girls again: "You know, Batman is always one step ahead."
Then he retracted his smile and explained: "This is the original words Batman asked me to say."
Night Owl looked at Baolang on the screen in some surprise.
Then he put on a smile: "What does it matter?"
He stared at Batman's metal head: "You didn't hear all of my words. Some parts were cut off and not heard by Nightwing. Your arrangement was based on Violent Wolf and Nightwing. If I didn't let them hear it, you wouldn't know. You have been waiting for the opportunity for me to confront them, so that you can hear me leak the information you want to hear. You succeeded, how do you feel now?" He said in a deep voice: "You should have begun to gradually realize that our goals are temporarily the same, right?"
He said: "We all want to kill the Anti-Monitor."
...
...
...
"Although this is not the first time we meet, please allow me to introduce myself again... I am Batman."
"I know you. Hello, Bruce. During those controlled times, I can still feel you."
Supergirl said.
"Let's not talk nonsense, I want to meet General Zod."
She asked cautiously: "Can I?"
