Chapter 440 A Gentle Story (Part 2)

Boom!

A light came on in the center of the platform.

This place looked like a secret base of some evil organization, with darkness all around and terrifying silence.

Click.

The sound of leather shoes tapping on marble tiles, and then the sound of walking up the stairs.

Someone was walking up to the platform, or stage, for speeches... gently, slowly, and carefully along the handrail in the dark.

Then he slowly walked into the beam of light on the platform.

First the leather shoes, then the trouser legs, and then... the white coat.

"Welcome, welcome - welcome to Dr. Ivo's laboratory, agents, ladies, gentlemen, professionals, and every officer who is not convenient to show up."

At this moment, it was Dr. Ivo who appeared under the light. He once served in the super villain secret society formed by outsiders under the command of Night Owl. He was a genius scientist and the inventor of the Yamozhu robot.

The imperfect Amojo robot he had made was destroyed by Reverse Flash single-handedly, and he disappeared since then...

Until he appeared here.

"Please rest assured, this is a private meeting, and everyone present will never know who is attending the meeting with them. The venue of the meeting is so dark for this purpose.

Of course, you can rest assured that no matter Amanda Waller, Ron Rongzi (Martian Manhunter), Steve Trevor, or even Batman himself, they can't make any interference in this meeting."

Then he paused and said:

"Then... I'll make it short."

He clapped his hands, and the next second, a giant with a body of nearly two meters, explosive muscles, and burly. Like a wall, he appeared silently behind him.

The golden lightning of the Speed ​​Force flowed through his body, and he appeared directly in front of Dr. Ivo, as silent as a ghost.

"I would like to introduce to you the third generation of Amojo. He is fully capable of defeating any member of the Justice League except Batman."

Although Dr. Ivo did not see the eyes of the dignitaries hiding in the dark, he could clearly feel the distrust from the silence.

He understood the situation very well. After all, Batman's power was obvious to all, and the battle between the Justice League and Darkseid on the coastline was also known to the whole world.

In such a situation, someone suddenly told them that he, Dr. Ivo, could make weapons to fight against the Justice League. With the poor and ignorant brains of these politicians, it was impossible to imagine such a situation.

After all, ignorance is the norm for most people, and people like him, Dr. Ivo, are really rare.

He continued.

"Not only that, everyone. Everyone here today must be dissatisfied with Batman's being above the law, arbitrarily ignoring public power, refusing to fulfill his national obligations, or simply put..."

"Batman is completely out of control and cannot help but obey any of your orders."

"Wayne Group, Lex Group, business, medical fields, movies, cultural and artistic fields, scientific research institutions, cutting-edge science, scientific research fields, Batman's influence is too great, too much."

"Even in the political field, Amanda Waller and General Swanwick (Note: Another identity of Martian Hunter, a US military general)... I think you all know who I am referring to. This secret is not a secret at your level..."

"He They are willing to speak for Batman, and some opposition parties, or many opposition parties, can they shake Batman's authority? They can't. "

He shrugged: "Think about it... In the past, no one in this world could refuse you. No one could limit what you did. In the past, Batman was only in the scope of Gotham City, but now through the Justice League, his influence has radiated to the whole United States. "

"You used to be the masters of the United States, and you could even manipulate the appointment and removal of the president. But now, you are like a thief, being..."

"Enough, your nonsense stops here."

A rough voice came from the darkness, which was obviously changed, but the anger contained in it could still be heard.

Dr. Ivo immediately stopped.

Since the purpose of instigation has been achieved, there is no need to anger these people again.

Of course, they can see that Dr. Ivo is instigating them, but so what?

Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife. He said the truth.

"Therefore, my suggestion to you is not just to defeat Batman. What's the point of defeating Batman? You need an obedient Batman, not to completely destroy the existing Justice League system that protects the earth. And I am here to solve this problem."

He said: "Amazoo was not only developed by me to fight against the nemesis of the Justice League, but also a powerful fusion device."

"Literally, Amazoo can completely merge into Batman's body, just like a parasite, parasitizing on Batman, thereby tampering with his will and manipulating his body."

As Dr. Ivo introduced, Amazoo beside him suddenly turned into ashes, disappeared under the light, and then reorganized beside him in an instant.

"As long as you are willing to help me create opportunities, believe me." Dr. Ivo said: "I can make Batman bow down to you."

"And the most important thing is to let me try, it doesn't matter, right? If you fail, you can just blame it on me, the super villain."

Dr. Ivo slowed down his tone: "Think about it, a Batman controlled by you..."

And in the shadow, Chen Tao, with another face, sat quietly with other government officials.

He has always lacked direct involvement in politics. This time he appeared here because he had been secretly following Dr. Ivo's clues and planned to see what he was going to do, but he found out.

He didn't expect that so many people would participate in this meeting.

The expression on his face was very ugly.

…

…

…

"Batman Secret Files."

"Updated on April 13."

"I am Batman."

Chen Tao sat in front of the Batcomputer.

The Batcave was empty at this time.

"Not long after I left the cage holding General Zod, I was sure that Nite Owl would organize a prison break and free General Zod."

"Supergirl Kara El's father Zor-El is a genius. He reversed Brainiac's bottle city force field technology, thus temporarily keeping Argonne for a period of time after the destruction of Krypton -

But the final result is obvious.

Originally, this story could only prove that the last batch of residents in Argonne were the only surviving Kryptonians, but with the manipulation of Nite Owl, General Zod soon asked Supergirl about the information that there were many Kryptonian corpses in Argonne.

Just looking at General Zod's expression, it is easy to guess what he will do."

"Even if I use The Life Code removed General Zod's genetic limiters, but the limiters in his mind were more deeply rooted than in his body. "

"After confirming that the Life Code could not revive his nemesis, General Zod would naturally think of another way. Since he could not create new Kryptonians, he would revive the old Kryptonians, and then use the Life Code to remove the genetic restrictions that prevented the Kryptonians from reproducing naturally."

"So he would definitely attack the bodies of the dead Kryptonians."

(Note: In the comics, General Zod really did this. He tried to use the fountain of youth of the ninja master Lei Xiao Aogu to revive the bodies of the Kryptonians.)

He paused, then said:

"And I let it happen."

He turned his face slightly, half of his face hidden in the darkness.

Then he added: "This was a last resort."

Then Chen Tao closed his mouth.

Many plans can only be formed in silence. Before you decide to launch a fatal blow, you should never speak to others.

Every Batman in the dark multiverse is like this... They break their bottom line for the reason of "having to do it". After breaking through once, they will want to break through a second time, then a third time, and a fourth time.

Finally, they will fall completely.

This change is often subtle, and Batmans often don't notice it happening.

Just like the slippery slope theory, once Pandora's box is opened, it can never be stopped.

But for Chen Tao... Simply put, he is Chen Tao.

And the slippery slope theory for him...

is a fallacy!

Isn't it just insulting corpses? This is shit. I am insulting the king of corpses. I used to...

Chen Tao suddenly felt guilty.

In short, Supergirl and Clark must not know what General Zod is going to do, and he can never admit in this life that he let Zod do that.

In an emergency, you have to make decisions, please understand.

Chen Tao comforted himself in his heart, and then continued:

"Everything is for the purpose of defeating the Anti-Monitor. April 13, Batman, record completed."

He stood up, walked out of the main control room of the Batcave, walked down the stairs to the lounge area on the 2nd floor, and then saw Alfred standing at the dining table.

"Good evening, Master Bruce."

Chen Tao nodded, and he took a drink from the other party's tray.

"Your protein, caffeine, and creatine, mouthwash level, Master, the taste of justice."

He made a pun: The taste of justice... is actually insanity. (go bananas)

Chen Tao finished his drink.

"Very good, um."

Then he said:

"I have to go."

"The Fiji Leisure Vacation helicopter is broken." Alfred said: "Due to long-term neglect of maintenance, some battery-powered instruments on the console have malfunctioned."

(Note: This helicopter once appeared in Chapter 186!)

Chen Tao knew that although he was talking about the plane, he was talking about himself.

"Alfred, I'm taking a good rest. But not now, I'm a little busy now."

He said: "Sorry."

"Arthur sent me a message, he hopes you will attend an ocean festival held by Ci'en Port."

Alfred said: "You can go with Wonder Woman."

"We can discuss it later, Alfred." Chen Tao said, and then he realized that it would be a bit impolite to say this, so he hurriedly explained: "Martian Hunter and Amanda Waller told me that I have to attend a meeting where many American politicians invited me to attend."

"That meeting..." Chen Tao paused.

He turned his back to Alfred, and a ferocious expression appeared on his face where Alfred couldn't see.

Then he turned his head and faced Alfred, looking more relaxed than ever.

"You know, that kind of meeting is boring and long, but I have to go, there is no other way."

He promised: "But there will be no fighting and killing in the meeting. After the meeting, I will go to the Ocean Festival that Arthur invited me to, okay? Oh, by the way, the embassy Xuelang base that he hopes to build recently is also about to be completed. The Ocean Festival may be a push for this matter, so as to promote it..."

As Chen Tao talked, the topic went from "relaxing at the Ocean Festival" to "how to use this opportunity of the Ocean Festival to promote the Atlantis Embassy and promote the affairs of the Sea King".

Yes, he still has things to prepare for the Sea King...

The invasion of the Atlanteans is almost a foregone conclusion, and the Night Owl will definitely manipulate the other party to do so, no matter what way.

He plans to strengthen the universe where Chen Tao is by any means, hoping that Chen Tao's universe can stop the anti-monitor. This plan is too huge in all aspects, and Chen Tao only knows part of it.

But the only thing that is certain is that Night Owl will never be stingy about killing innocent people, and this cannot be done.

Chen Tao can tolerate General Zod's insult to the corpse, but he will never let Night Owl affect the good when executing his plan.

In that case...

He who tries to use Night Owl will be equally guilty.

"Alas... Sometimes I hope I can fight them for you, and I will fight against the curse of Batman."

"Batman doesn't need to fight all the time, Alfred." Chen Tao said, "At least not for this meeting."

"I'll just be a mascot at the meeting." Chen Tao said.

You see, just as he knew.

This world never gives him a chance to breathe, and Chen Tao knows this world.

He left Alfred and flew in the night sky of Metropolis.

Then he suddenly looked around and found that the brightly lit city suddenly dimmed.

So he changed direction, and then he saw. On the clouds not far away, the bat logo was dancing in the center of the beam.

Soon, he landed on the rooftop of the Justice League headquarters, and Chen Tao pressed his head slightly.

"What happened?"

"An hour ago, the power grid was cut off due to an earthquake. Not only Metropolis, but also Gotham City, and several surrounding cities have all lost power."

The Martian Manhunter who had been staying at the Justice League headquarters appeared in front of Chen Tao.

"If this is some kind of attack..."

"Then the scale must be very large, the kind that can affect the entire city." Chen Tao answered him.

"That means the monster is on the way. While we are waiting... Metropolis is not a big problem with the power outage. Gotham City has been lacking a strong person to suppress it recently." Martian Hunter said, "This will be difficult."

"I have some déjà vu." Martian Hunter said, "This thing is also called latent memory."

"The memories we experienced again, when we feel comfortable, he comes to remind us to prepare for the threat."

"So what is it now, comfortable?"

Mars Hunter paused, then said seriously, "This earthquake is a bit unusual. Especially..."

"Especially when the meeting is about to start."

"Are you really going to the meeting alone?" Martian Hunter said, "The power outage looks like an earthquake, but there is another possibility. The earthquake is just an excuse. The real situation is..."

"The electrical energy is absorbed and becomes someone's power." Chen Tao said, "Absorbed by a certain creature and used to strengthen itself, just like a live wire."

(Note: The female villain who used electric current has appeared in the previous article and can also absorb electric current.)

"You know all this very well." Martian Hunter said, "I guess the power outage will be restored soon, and the creature that absorbs all the electricity in half a state..."

"That's the opponent I have to face." Chen Tao nodded, "I will handle it alone."

Mars Hunter was silent for a while: "Don't kill people. It's better not to kill."

"I will break every bone of theirs." Chen Tao nodded.

"Yeah."

Then they were silent for a while.

"They shouldn't do this to you." Martian Hunter said, "It's unfair."

"It doesn't matter." Chen Tao replied him, "You have never let this kind of thing bother me before, you did a good job."

Then he said, "You have other things to do, go and do it. There is also the Sea King's Ocean Festival. I ask you to be prepared to evacuate every civilian present at any time. Notify Mudface and Barry, let them put aside the things at hand and take some time. Be ready to save people at any time."

Chen Tao said.

As he spoke, the sky began to glow. That was the light of normal power restoration.

"And I... should also deal with what I should deal with."
