Chapter 443: Night Owl Instigates Rebellion Against the Justice League, Countdown to the Arrival of the Anti-Monitor

It was late at night.

Meila and Arthur had already gone to bed in their clothes.

The starlight at midnight was quietly and gently projected on them.

Then it began to drizzle. The drizzling dew began to fall in just a few minutes, and the slightly rising mist left a hazy reflection on the window.

Meila muttered and turned over, then hugged Arthur's arm.

Arthur suddenly opened his eyes.

He raised his head like a lion, and Meila opened her eyes almost at the same time.

He stood up silently, pulled his arm out of Meila's arms, and then took the Trident of the Sea King leaning against the corner of the room with a quick step. Although his speed was fast enough, he did not make any sound on the floor.

Meila waved her hand, and the water in the fish tank not far away also flew out silently like a dragon, enveloping all the goldfish in the tank who didn't know what happened.

The rain was still falling, getting heavier, dripping, wet.

Arthur made a shushing gesture to Meila, then stood in front of her, gently pushed open the bedroom door, and walked towards the living room.

Meila put on a bathrobe and followed closely behind.

"Squeak~"

Arthur was shocked.

His feet stepped on the floor, but the sound was not made by him.

He raised the trident and saw a man sitting in the main seat of their living room with an expressionless face. Although he made an onomatopoeia of the sound of the floor being stepped on with his mouth, he was still as cold as a statue, without any sense of life.

Boom!

A thunderbolt illuminated the dim room, and the man's face was also looming in the thunderbolt.

A chill rushed directly from the soles of his feet to Arthur's spine.

"Night Owl." Arthur said.

"I'm glad you know me, so I don't have to take the time to introduce myself."

Night Owl showed a slightly weird smile at the corner of his mouth. For someone like him, forcing himself to smile is even more terrifying.

"Batman left a lot of protection around your house. It took me a long time to remove it - maybe not completely, but enough for him to not understand what we talked about today."

"What do you want to do?"

"Anti-Monitor."

"What?"

"I'm surprised Batman didn't tell you." Night Owl said: "The world is going to be destroyed."

"Batman told me that the Anti-Monitor is going to invade the earth." Arthur frowned and said: "But the earth will not be destroyed. We will defeat them, just like defeating Darkseid."

Night Owl: "..."

"I am amazed at your ignorance." He said.

"Batman is right not to tell you everything. Because for a fool like you with low IQ, knowing the truth about how terrible the Anti-Monitor is not only can't provide any help, but will make you unable to focus on the tasks he assigned to you, further disrupting his plan. But you know, there is a slight discrepancy between what Batman and I know."

"I don't understand what you are talking about. What do you want to say?"

"What do you think of Batman?"

"What do you mean."

Night Owl: "..."

"Batman is a superpower, he can summon parallel universes, The Batman of the parallel universe, yes, is this what you know? "

"Yes."

"What are the conditions for him to summon the Batman of the parallel universe?"

"Robin (Robin here refers to the third generation Robin Tim Drake, now retired) once summarized it."

Arthur said: "After someone suffers an unprecedented defeat and believes from the bottom of his heart that he has failed, he can find a way to synchronize the Batman of the parallel universe through something on the other person."

"What else?"

"Someone died after a tragic defeat."

"Yes, that's the problem." Night Owl said.

"I don't understand."

"Don't you think it's weird?"

"The way Batman gets his own abilities in the parallel universe? Frankly speaking, I've even seen irony magic, and I don't think it's..."

"That's not what I mean. Damn, it's tiring to talk to a low-IQ idiot."

Night Owl let out a breath and continued:

"I mean the method."

"Use your seaweed brain to think about it. Even if you go to a fried chicken shop to buy a fried chicken meal, you will get different packages for you to choose if you pay different prices--

Why do you think that Batman uses two ways to get the abilities of the Batman in the parallel universe, and what he gets in the end will be the same?"

Arthur felt that his brain was a little insufficient: "You mean..."

"Energy and mass are conserved. Superman's abilities come from kryptonite, which is an energy ore. Superman's abilities come from yellow sunlight, Mela's abilities come from magic, and your abilities come from the bloodline of the Aklanteans, or part of it comes from the Red of All Creatures--but what about Batman?"

Night Owl spread his hands: "Why, why has no one ever thought about this question?"

"So..." Night Owl said slowly: "I want to put forward a hypothesis, a guess without any evidence."

"Hah!!!"

Meila manipulated the water flow and turned it into a sharp blade. In this instant, the water blade cut the head of Night Owl, but underneath it was not flesh and blood, but rows and rows of metal components.

"Thought projection robot, his body is not here." Meila said: "Don't believe what he said, he is bewitching you, Arthur, he..."

But the next second, Meila's face turned green and she fell to the ground holding her neck.

"Meila!!!" Arthur hugged his girlfriend: "What did you do to her?"

He originally wanted to attack Night Owl, but his face turned green.

And on the originally cut head of Night Owl, countless nanorobots were also quickly repairing the huge wound.

"Relax, Arthur, it's just some neurotoxins. I gave you a chronic toxin at the Ocean Festival, and then I used the powder sprinkled in the living room just now to accelerate its onset.

But believe me, with your Atlantean strong physique, there is almost no medicine in this world that can knock you down. Such toxins can be metabolized out of your body in just a few tens of seconds.

And even in the state of poisoning, you are not without a chance, right? So let go of your hand holding the trident and listen to me."

"Your girlfriend is a little smarter than your seaweed brain. She guessed what I wanted to say halfway through."

"No... Arthur..." Meila said. She tried to use magic, but it was too late.

"My hypothesis is that if Batman's superpower is actually essentially [killing and plundering power], just like Thunder Zansha?"

Meira once again shouted delicately and used the water blade to cut the robot remotely controlled by Night Owl in half.

But the upper body of Night Owl, lying on the ground, was still saying: "Due to some efforts of Batman, he successfully tampered with the underlying operating logic of his own abilities, and the price he paid for this was..."

"He was not able to fully exert his power."

"Shut up!"

Meira's water blade instantly smashed the head of the robot controlled by Night Owl, but she misjudged one point:

The robot's voice-generating device was not a mouth.

Night Owl's voice came from the chest of the robot that had already fallen to the ground:

"So you understand what I mean? If you are really forced into a desperate situation..."

"Perhaps heroic suicide is the way to enhance Batman and save the world..."

"Hah ah ah ah!"

The entire Night Owl robot was cut into pieces and shattered by Meila's water blade in an instant.

Although the blue color on Meila's face had faded, she fell to the ground powerlessly.

"No, no, no, it's not."

Meira said:

"Suicide is too ridiculous. If it really fails, suicide can't change anything. We can escape. I mean, didn't Night Owl escape from a parallel universe?"

Arthur looked at the love of his life.

She was about to cry, so beautiful and lovely.

He was willing to do anything for Meila, including death.

Then he laughed: "Don't worry, don't joke, I won't be fooled by Night Owl."

He comforted his girlfriend, but deep in his heart...

He knew that Night Owl might not lie.

He thought quietly, and then watched the fragments of Night Owl robot slowly turn into ashes.

Wonder Woman's residence.

Diana quietly watched the Night Owl robot that she cut into pieces in the corridor disappear.

She thought about what Night Owl had just said.

Midtown.

The Flash's residence.

Barry was wrapped in the speed force, facing a handful of ashes on the ground, frowning.

He had just used a supersonic hand knife to cut open the chest of the Night Owl robot, but the words the robot said before it was destroyed kept echoing in his mind.

Shazam's home.

Billy Batson told his parents that nothing had happened just now.

When he returned to his dormitory and climbed onto his upper bunk to prepare for sleep, his hands were shaking and he muttered softly.

In the darkness, his brothers and sisters heard his whispering voice.

His sister Mary asked, "What did you say, Billy? Suicide?"

"Nothing."

Billy closed his eyes and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Martian Manhunter.

Superman.

All the members of the Justice League, at different times and in different places... thinking silently together.

What if... What if everything Night Owl said was true...

If it was really like he said, there was no choice and it was the end of the road...

Then what he said... is very likely to be the only chance to win...!

…

…

…

Many years ago, Gotham.

Chen Tao, who had just scared Bane away, paused and stood among the bodies of the mercenaries he had recruited to fight Bane and then killed.

Looking at the silver-white instructions that kept popping up on his retina, he fell into deep thought.

What does this mean, huh? I ask you. What does this mean.

Why can I pick up the anchoring props when my teammates died tragically?

Anger, shaking, cold.

Could it be that I, the Dark Knight, the caped crusader, the guardian of Gotham, the greatest detective in the world, the famous Batman, can only make a living by exploding the gold coins of my teammates in the future?

Looking at the relics of his teammates, Chen Tao felt a sour nose, and a poet-like feeling of sadness and sorrow surged in his heart.

No! Never!

Superheroes must have backbone!

Even if I die, I will never pick up the bodies of my teammates!

ДO

……

……

……

Origin Wall.

Chen Tao, who came here again through the Eternal Cellar, stared blankly at the Supreme Little Superman who was stuck there like a statue not far away.

"Alas, even if I get him down, I can't control him."

Chen Tao's eyes were empty, and he was worried about the Supreme Little Superman.

"Before, he didn't come down and beat me into a cookie the first time because of the interference of the Blood Slaughter Bull. But the same trick can't be used for the second time. Even if I recapture the Blood Slaughter Bull now and let him parasitize on the body of the Supreme Little Superman, it will be difficult to replicate the last operation."

"【Anger is the way the enemy controls himself】Once the Supreme Little Superman understands this, the Blood Slaughter Bull will no longer be able to control him... just like the Golden Saint will not fail in the same trick for the second time."

"It's easy to get him down again, but this time it's really easy to invite a god but hard to send him away."

Chen Tao hugged his head. There was no one else here, so he dared to show such an expression: "Aaaaaaaaa, if there was a Mobius Chair, I could just look up the method to defeat the Anti-Monitor with one click, so there would be no need to think about it myself."

Then he started to act stupidly next to the Origin Wall:

Help! (Running around)

What should I do? (Twisted crawling)

It's over! (365-degree Thomas spin)

After a minute of madness, Chen Tao sat down again. The indifference and Batman-like calmness appeared on his face again.

"Anyway, if there is no other choice, then I can only let him out first."

Chen Tao thought silently.

"A powerful character who may be able to fight the Anti-Monitor will always be my last trump card. Maybe it won't be used, but I always have to be prepared."

Then he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the Eternal Vault.

"Atrocitus has contacted and recalled the Blood Bull... I have to do another thing."

On Apocalypse.

Darkseid's obsidian face was as black as obsidian.

He looked at Batman who emerged from the sonic boom tunnel.

The other party's behavior was so natural, as if Apokolips was his backyard, bastard!

"Hey, Darkseid, good afternoon."

"..."

"Uh... do you know what I'm here for?"

"The destruction of this universe means nothing to me." Darkseid said.

"Ah, yes, yes, I know, you are a high-dimensional god, how do you say that? Thousands of faces of evil. But the anti-monitor we are facing this time has the anti-life equation, you must be interested, right?

Don't pretend, you are still willing to see me, which means that our agreement has been reached from the beginning."

Darkseid almost smiled, almost.

"Really smart." He said.

...

...

...

...

Night Owl's universe... let's call it Earth 3.

After a flash of blue light from a portal, Night Owl appeared here. As soon as he landed, he immediately knelt on his knees and then crawled forward two steps.

"Master."

He didn't dare to raise his head, but he could still feel the flame-like breath of the Anti-Monitor burning his body.

"Thomas..."

He heard the other party call his real name: "You figured out how Batman found Superboy-Prime. Right?"

"Not yet... not yet, Master." Night Owl bowed deeply: "I'm sorry."

"Is that so." The Anti-Monitor's voice could not tell whether he was happy or angry.

"Then you have built a portal to take me to that universe, right? You'd better think about it before you answer."

Night Owl heard that voice: "I have already given you a chance to postpone. I told you there is no second time."

I really can't drag it on any longer...

Night Owl sighed deeply in his heart. He had bought a long time for Batman and himself, but he still couldn't face the Anti-Monitor calmly after the plan was completed.

But even so, he had to take the last risk and buy a little more time.

"The portal has been built, but Master, it still needs final debugging."

He said, "I must ensure that your arrival is foolproof. It only takes the last month... No, I only need 15 days."

He said, "I can dedicate that world to you."

Night Owl was ready to be punished. He decided to take this risk and try to fool the other party, just like he had done countless times when facing Superman.

But to his surprise, the Anti-Monitor actually agreed to his proposal.

This made Night Owl a little confused.

He was ready to be compressed even these 15 days.

But...

The other party let him go so easily.

This means that the other party may be fooled by him, and there is an even worse possibility:

The other party does not care about his little tricks at all.

This is the worst case.

"15 days." Anti-Monitor said.

"15 days." Night Owl answered him.

Night Owl calculated the time, which was about a few days after the completion of the Atlantean embassy "Snow Wave Base".

"And at the lecture on the completion of the base, Lord Orm will definitely launch an attack."

Night Owl thought.

And his plan will be launched accordingly.

"You'd better act faster and more decisively, Batman."

Night Owl lay on the ground, thinking quietly.

"Please."
