Chapter Eighty-Eight: Phase 2: Full Launch

Led by Thomas Elliott, the true reticent and other half of the Xenomorph Knight, the sixth day of the unknown virus dropped by the Xenomorph Monomer Wind has passed in Gotham. This night, Gotham returned to the past, cheating, smashing and robbing, from morning to night, and as the last line of defense of the city of Gotham, whether it is Dick as Nightwing, or Damian as Robin and Gotham Police exhausted in this night, it has no effect.

Gotham, like a derailed train, is falling into the abyss, and they are just using their flesh and blood to prolong as much time as possible. And they have a more important problem to solve, that is, when they return to the Batcave, the missing old butler Alfred and his party make them almost collapse.

"No, how could this happen!" Looking at the mess inside the Bat Cave, Dick sat on his knees and shouted.

And Damian and Helena are also looking for traces of their mothers in the ruins, but nothing was found, except for a ghost card left behind, this night, for Batman's Bat family, is undoubtedly a catastrophe, their base camp was breached by the Joker, their own family was also taken away, and what is even more terrifying is that Batman has no news so far, and there is no news, which is the biggest bad news, which means that Batman may also be more auspicious.

From this moment on, Dick understood that they had been defeated, and that they had been stepping into the trap they had set for themselves since they faced the man named Silence and the man who called himself Tempest, a fellow of Faiz, the alien knight who had previously bewitched him. Sitting feebly on his knees, the ruins of the bat cave made Dick feel like a man, helpless, wandering, and hanging over him.

"No, no one can be reached, Dick, what are we going to do."

With a little confusion, Damian also walked over with Helena and looked at his eldest brother. No matter how precocious Damian is, he is still a twelve-year-old minor after all, and this time, the whole family is torn apart under the calculation of the enemy, and it is not something that Damian can face, the only thing he can rely on is Dick's eldest brother, but he feels that he seems to have another brother who takes care of him.

"Huh?" At Damian's question, Dick also came back to his senses from his panic, looking around and looking at his younger siblings, Damian, Helena, Raven, Wonder Girl, little Jonathan, these are the relatives gathered around him, he can't take them on an adventure, looking into the distance, the bat searchlight that should have been lit over the Gotham police station did not move.

Yes, after the death of James Gordon, the chief of police of Gotham, who will turn on that light, it can be said that from now on, Gotham is back to the original situation without Batman, a crime-ridden ownerless city. But the difference is that there was no Batman in Gotham, no Superman in Met, and no Flash in Canterlot.

Now, there is no Batman in Gotham, but other cities have their own superheroes, and these superheroes know each other and can rush to help themselves when they need help. Before, they didn't ask for help because of Batman, and they thought they could handle it all, but now, Batman is missing and his family is captured, and all Dick can do is protect the rest of his family and contact his friends.

"We inform the Justice League, inform the Titans, that we can't continue like this anymore."

Dick, who confirmed what he was going to do next, also took out his mobile phone and began to dial the two emergency call buttons of the Justice League and the Teen Titan, which was the only way he could think of at the moment. After the phone was dialed, Dick was also about to put the phone back and evacuate with Damian and his group, and on the side, little Jonathan, who seemed to have noticed something, stepped forward and asked directly.

"Dick, are you sure you informed the Titans and the Justice League about them?"

"Yes, I'm sure, don't worry, Jonathan, Batman will be fine, if there's anyone in this world who knows Batman best, it's your father."

"No, I know this very well, I'm just curious, then who is the number you are dialing on your phone now."

When little Jonathan said this, Dick also subconsciously looked at his mobile phone. I saw that on my mobile phone, in addition to the number I used to urgently call the Justice League and the Titans just now, there was another unknown number that I had already called. He didn't put a note on this number, and he didn't have any impression, but he typed it out, as if it was engraved in his muscles, and when he looked at this unknown number, for no reason, Dick also had an expectation in his heart, expecting the owner of this number to pick it up.

"yes, whose number is this..."

Looking at the unknown number that was still in the communication, Dick also said inexplicably.

And half an hour before Dick and the others returned to the Batcave and found that their home had been burglarized, they carried the defeated and unconscious Batman and Alfred and his party from the Batcave, and returned to Thomas Elliott's private estate. Placing it on the ground at will, the new god Dessard, who was in charge of garrisoning Gotham City and completing the Darkseid Godhead splitting plan, also looked at the Dark Knight who had made himself deflated several times until he was autistic.

I never thought that the Dark Knight, who even the great Darkseid had to threaten to be soft, would become a prisoner like this, and even stole people's base camps, this contradiction between reality and fantasy made Dissad a little uncomfortable, and at the same time, he also labeled Thomas Elliott, Joker, and Bane as extremely dangerous for the people who worked with him, including this Gotham City.

"That's it?"

"No, this is just the beginning, that outlier Faiz was temporarily kicked out by me, but I don't want anyone to ruin this game, you who are in charge of opposing the Justice League, you shouldn't do nothing, just watch, right?"

Sitting in a chair, Thomas Elliott also said there.

"As you wish."

In response, Dissad also teleported through the mother box and disappeared into the underground chamber, while Batman and Alfred stayed here. Sitting there, looking at the villains gathered around him, not only the Joker, Bane, but also the silence used to confuse his identity, Penguin, Black Mask, even Harley who broke away from Gotham and poison ivy, these villains who once caused trouble to Batman and stirred up storms in Gotham, are all concentrated here.

But with the exception of the Joker, Bane, and a few villains who initially collaborated, most of them had no sparkle in their eyes, and it was clear that Thomas Elliott had used mind control to control them.

"Okay guys, let's wait for the sun to rise tomorrow, and after that, Gotham, it's ours, let's witness the collapse of this dark knight."

Raising the glass of red wine and drinking it down, Thomas Elliott also transformed into the form of a heterogeneous single wind in the process, rolling up a green hurricane, and disappearing into the underground vault with these villains, except for the clown. Looking at this other half of W, who can be regarded as a real alien knight who fits with himself, Thomas has lost the freehand nature he had before, because he has not yet figured out the clown's brain circuit.

"What are you going to do, Joker."

"I just want to stay with my batboy, and I have to have Uncle Clown to tell the bedtime story."

"Feel free to do so, don't go overboard, if you still want to see him completely break down."

Without saying anything about the Joker's self-indulgence, Thomas Elliott departed, preparing to take over the city of Gotham and become the true master of the city. Only the Joker remains, putting the unconscious Batman in a cell, and the Joker also sits inside, looking at the fainting Batman with an oozing smile.

"Now, it's just you and me, Batboy~"

Late at night in New York, at the headquarters of Goode Games, Dissad's figure also appeared in front of Steppenwolf.

"Batman has been defeated, and the corruption of his godhead has also reached a critical step, and the others are in charge, don't let those guys meddle."

"Oh, so fast? What about the Kamen Rider, how is he? ”

"Hehe, shut yourself up, that's probably the case, I'm not asking you right now, Steppenwolf, hurry up and do your thing."

"Yes, yes, I know very well, so let's begin, guys, the start of Phase 2."

Steppenwolf didn't have a big deal about Dissad's order, just sat there, and through the mother box floating in front of him, he said to the other Apocalypse Star New Gods who were in charge of following up on the Darkseid Godhead Corrosion Plan, and let them start the so-called Phase Two in full.

Fiji, in the resort, the superhuman couple who went out on a honeymoon trip also talked about love in their rooms, as the first time to really enjoy the honeymoon life that newlyweds should have, Superman and Louise, the old husband and wife, exude the atmosphere of love all the time. They cherish this hard-won honeymoon trip more than anyone else, just like now, although the two have long been husband and wife, they are talking about love, and they are teasing their desires.

"Haven't we been too often lately, Clark, I've just given birth to little Jonathan."

"Don't worry, it's not so easy, little Jonathan's stinky boy is not the first time to get pregnant, it's okay, come on~"

As he spoke, Superman, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was about to make a move, but Louise blocked his mouth with his palm.

"I've got to take a shower first, and besides, you've got to hurry up and book tomorrow's itinerary, rent a car or something, there's only a few days left on your honeymoon, and you should go back to the Met and do what you want."

"Ah, why do you have to take a shower, every time you collapse on the bed, you also sweat."

For his wife's sudden interruption of interest, Superman is also helpless. But I still got up, with a little helplessness, and prepared to go out with my mobile phone and room card.

"Please, you're my husband, besides, you're Superman, maybe you'll be able to take a shower, hurry up, small town boy, I'm in a good mood today, so I can..." As she spoke, Louise also attached her ear to Superman's ear, saying a little trick between men and women, and Superman's honest and honest face also showed a smile that only men understand.

"Okay~ I've written it down, wait, I'll go now."

With a bit of excitement, Superman ran straight out of the room. And Louise, the young and beautiful hot mom also hummed a little tune to take a shower, for the story she just shared with her husband, Louise was also a little excited, just when Louise closed the door to take a shower, the door of the room opened, a mysterious figure walked in, put down something in front of the TV, and left.

Louise was unaware of this, and so was Superman, who left, and his super hearing didn't hear anything uneasy about his wife. It took half an hour, such a short time to shower herself, Louise came out, towel wrapped in wet hair, and at the same time noticed the thing in front of the TV, a videotape, and when Louise saw the name on the videotape, her face turned a little red.

She is not young, as a 32-year-old woman, has she never eaten pork and has never seen a pig run, not to mention that she still eats Krypton pork, after seeing the name on this video, she naturally understands what it is. This is a material program in the hotel, that is, *****, also known as a small movie, but she didn't expect that in this resort hotel, there is a project that can be paid for through the Internet, and there is this kind of video tape method, and the style is a little retro.

Not to mention, this tape is still a video with Superman as the main character, which she really didn't expect. But after thinking about it, it's normal, her husband is Superman, a superhero who has saved the world many times, the strongest superhero, such a big halo, such a big IP, if there is no derivative industry, she doesn't believe it herself, like Superman and Batman's text, small movies, she knows everything, but if you watch it, this is the first time.

Looking at the videotape in her hand, Louise couldn't help but think about it, like a cat scratching her heart.

"I guess Clark also knows about this, but he just doesn't tell me, since he doesn't say it, it's not a violation if I see it myself, well, that's it, I'll take a look, look at the guy inside and see if it looks like Clark's Superman outfit."

With this somewhat self-defeating excuse, Louise sat on the edge of the bed, put the tape in, turned on the TV, and began to watch it. The picture turned on, and Louise, who was still a little excited and looking forward to a smile, saw the picture advance, the smile on her face began to fade away, and the remote control in her hand was powerless to fall to the ground, and coincidentally, Superman, who had been out for half an hour, also came back.

"Honey, I'm ~back~coming~, you don't even know what just happened, I..."

When he opened the door, Superman, who was smiling, saw the scene of his wife looking at him with tears streaming down her face, and the eyes that looked at her were full of anger, disappointment and sadness. Superman, who originally thought about tonight's entertainment project, was also stupid there at this moment, especially when he also saw the picture on TV, he was even more stupid, even the mobile phone he held in his hand was pinched into pieces by him in this inadvertent situation.

Outside the hotel, since the beginning of the honeymoon trip in Gotham, the Superman couple has been on a journey all the way, eating dog food for nearly a month, and Darkseid's second son Kalibuck is also standing under the tree, looking at the room of the Superman couple, and also showing a vengeful smile.

This kind of situation is not only happening on the side of the Supermans, but also in Canterlot, Philadelphia, and Apocalypse, which have the follow-up of the Apocalypse Star's new gods, even other cities that do not have the follow-up of the Apocalypse Star's new gods, whether they are members of the Justice League or members of the Titans, are more or less in a situation, so that they can't get Dick's emergency call information in the first place.

Gotham, Curvin was still looking at Gotham from the building, and behind him, blue lightning flashed, and Wally, who had changed his appearance, also appeared behind Curwen.

"Eh, I received a call for help from Dick, did you receive it, should I play?"

"No, I didn't receive it here, it's not the time for you to appear, just protect the person I let you protect, on his side, someone has already passed."

"Oh, then pay attention to yourself, hurry up and put an end to this, I always feel that this timeline is getting more and more wrong."

With his sixth sense as a speedy person, Wally also instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and did not say anything to Curwen in this regard, and turned into a blue lightning bolt again and left the building, leaving Curvin alone, continuing to look at Gotham City.

After Wally left, Curvin took out his phone, which showed Dick's caller ID, but Curvin didn't answer.

"I said I forgot, but it's pretty easy to call, but I'm sorry, partner, this time, I have to reply to your message later."

Saying this, Ke Wen also watched the caller ID on his mobile phone automatically hang up after continuous unresponsiveness, and then, the photon blood vessels on his body surged, transformed into the appearance of the alien Faiz, and disappeared into the night.

Similarly, in the Batcave, Dick watched himself make an emergency call, and after the unknown number dialed out of nowhere continued to unresponsive and hung up, the sense of anticipation in his heart also turned into disappointment and a little sadness. While the Titans were contacted, the members of the Justice League did not give a single response, except for one person.

"Tsk, Batman has only disappeared for less than an hour, have you all become like this, I don't remember teaching you a stupid student."

The voice sounded, and when he turned around, he saw Death Knell appear in the bat cave with his son and daughter, and the appearance of Death Knell also made Dick stunned.

"Deathknell, is this your call?"

"Cut, I'm always the only active contact, can anyone reach me? I just happen to have a business in Gotham.,Don't worry.,I'm just in an employment relationship with that so-called Arkham Knight.,Now that the relationship is over.,As a teacher, I don't think it's too much to look at my students.,But your performance is really bad.,Who's better than that.,Who's coming.,Forget it.,Don't come with me quickly.,Things haven't gotten to the worst yet.。 ”

Death Knell, who also did not think of it, also gave up the memory, and said there in an impatient tone. Because his base camp was stolen, coupled with the appearance of Death Knell, Dick temporarily let go of the doubts in his heart, and followed the pace of Death Knell with a group of younger brothers and sisters, and as the first Titan brought by Death Knell, Dick also noticed the two children next to Death Knell whose eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Knell, and also asked with a little curiosity.

"These two won't be yours..."

"Yes, my son and daughter, you are their senior."

"Huh? Wait a while, you have both children and go to Green Arrow to trouble, start the second spring? How are you like Batman? ”

Death Knell: ······

The sixth day of Gotham passed like this, and as the sun rose, the seventh day of Gotham arrived, which was the outbreak cycle that Thomas Elliott had set for the unknown virus. In fact, there was no need for the seventh day, the whole city was already shrouded in the shadow of the virus, and the night's riots were not suppressed, but as the body function continued to decline, the people infected with the virus continued to cough up blood and became more dangerous.

The virus, modified by Thomas Elliott, did not take the lives of the citizens of Gotham, but only caused them to cough and have a high fever, and at the same time stimulated certain nerves in their brains, making them extremely incitative, and at the same time, it also gave them a burst of physical strength, and every now and then someone would break through the car door in a fit of rage, and at the same time, the price paid was a further decline in their physical function.

The accumulation of public grievances also made Gotham enter a new stage on the seventh day, and Gotham City went on strike. Those citizens who had been infected with the virus and had obvious symptoms took to the streets and gathered in front of the city hall building, and this time, even the police who had maintained order at the beginning did not stand firm, they were also people living in Gotham City, and they also had families.

And now, their own family members are also part of the demonstration, they can still point their guns at their own family, the only thing they can do is not to let the order become chaotic, and at the same time, they also hope that the city government people will come out and give an explanation, especially the mayor who protects him.

There were no journalists, no news, because the journalists were also part of the demonstration, and they gathered in front of the city hall and did not make an impact. Standing there like this, coughing because of the virus, a pair of eyes that have not slept well, and bloodshot eyes are the best way to apply pressure, because no one knows when this string called reason will break.

Under this pressure, the mayor came out, took his work team, looked at these Gotham citizens who were looking at him, and walked out hard. It's just that before he could stand in front of the podium and was about to announce the plan, a gunshot rang out, and the mayor, who was kidnapped by the clown and intimidated and peed his pants, had an extra hole in his head, and he fell down like this, and the scene was suddenly in turmoil.

But before the crowd could disperse, the mercenaries led by Bane also rushed out of the crowd as soon as possible, and while putting down the police, they also stood in front of the podium and began to speak.

"Good morning, citizens of Gotham."
