Chapter 303: City of Miracles
Solomon Grandi's super-strong defense, near-invincible self-healing ability, and super-human-level arm strength, combined with the fact that he is a long-dead zombie that cannot be killed, all make this enemy even more terrifying.
And tonight, Grandi, whom Batman encounters at the Iceberg Casino, is an unprecedentedly powerful version that has never been encountered so far.
A device activated by Copote sent a huge amount of electricity into Grandi's body, and now the eyes of the large zombie, the mouth and nose are releasing golden electricity, and the body seems to be expanding and exploding. The torn shirt on his chest was torn open like strips of rag, and the flesh on his chest seemed to have been cut by electricity, revealing the shocking dark yellow ribs under the skin, which were also filled with golden electricity.
Grandi's previously locked arms ripped off the chain along with the heavy iron ball, swinging it like a meteor hammer. Anything touched by his "heavy weapon" left a deep crater, and if he was hit directly, Batman would certainly not be able to escape the fate of being smashed into meat sauce.
But he's Batman, and he's been through worse.
More than five minutes of grappling, but for Batman, it will definitely not be just five minutes of energy, which requires an extremely high degree of concentration.
Fortunately, he can rely on the fact that Grandi is simple-minded, just a walking dead who relies entirely on instinct. This means that he doesn't think at all.
Batman dodged Grandi's huge, golden-powered fist that dodged on the spot, and it hit the Penguin-Man's transformer that was supposed to charge him. And the surface of this transformer was coincidentally coated with gel explosives by Batman.
"Boom!"
The electricity and the flames were released in an instant, and Grandi let out a high-pitched scream, and then fell down with his head in a dull voice, groaning on his back, and the electricity seemed to be more powerful than it had been before—more than overloaded.
Copote, who was originally standing on a high place with great interest and waiting to see Batman being dismantled by his big man, saw this completely unexpected development, his face immediately changed, and he turned around quietly before Batman's attention was shifted.
However, the next moment, he regretted it. Maybe he should stay and honestly wait for Batman to handcuff him and find a cage to keep him in.
And now, standing in front of him, it was a guy who was a head taller than him, covered in heavy silver armor, and had a seeping blue face under a transparent glass hood.
Isn't this the same frozen man who was recently put up in the Penguin Man Museum as a collector's item?
"Hey, hey?" Copote greeted awkwardly, his feet already shaking. In the face of Batman, at least he knows that his life is not in danger. But now, he felt like he might be hanging.
Tower of Miracles.
The tallest building in Arkham City, the upper part of which is the headquarters of the LTTE. Strangely, however, the lower part of the building was completely unguarded by Stevich, as if the lower part of the Tower of Miracles had been given to someone else all the way down to the surrounding area.
That's why this is where Roy's attention is grabbed.
Continuing down from the ground floor requires passing through layers of heavy old doors. The base of the Tower of Miracles seems to have been a fortress a hundred years ago, with layers of thick and sturdy door panels, and it seems to have been equipped with a variety of sensors that were very advanced a hundred years ago, capable of monitoring anyone who came here at any time.
The moment Roy stepped through the first door, the voice of a hundred-year-old announcer came out of the speakers endlessly.
"There is no salvation in this world." The announcer said, "A city like Gotham City would erupt like hell, from heaven to earth. These buildings will be so tall that they will obscure the sky, and the people who live in them will be exhausted by the pollution they create. When, at the end, there is no space left, the whole world will die, and the world will struggle to take its last breath. ”
"But it doesn't have to be your future, Gotham City." After a pause, the announcer continued, "There's one last better way. Behind this wall lies the last hope for humanity's survival. This astonishing discovery will lead to a glimpse into the future. Let's get closer and witness the future of Gotham City! ”
At this time, Roy had already walked to the last door, and on the door hung an ancient painting that was unknown how many years old, and the yellowed drawing paper seemed to depict Gotham City from a hundred years ago.
"The heart of Gotham will beat with the Lhasa Road Pool, and its energy will be transmitted to every street and thousands of households, providing everyone with plot, safe energy. The mechanical guards, on the other hand, will always be on your lookout, ready to help you, and keep you safe from some bastards when you need protection. But more importantly, our beautiful world can survive. ”
That's the end of the broadcast.
It seems that in the last century, someone found a branch of the magical Lhasalus Pool in Gotham City, and tried to extract the magical power from it as an energy source to supply the world. But in the end, both Lhasa Luchi and his grand plans were locked behind one door after another forever, and they did not see the light of day for a hundred years.
And the part that is sealed behind this door is known as the "City of Miracles" in Gotham.
As for what he calls "mechanical guards", Roy also saw it.
Along the way, there are many places lying on the ground with most of the scrapped body parts, but the internal structure of these machines is quite advanced from the perspective of a hundred years ago. When Roy scanned it with the scanner in his mask, he even found that their memory could still be connected, and they might be able to see what had been recorded in the memory.
The main entrance was tightly sealed, and it was clear at a glance that it had not been opened for decades, to say the least. So if the people of the Alliance were hiding in the City of Miracles, they definitely didn't enter through this door.
In other words, there are other entrances.
It might be a good idea to look around and see if there are other entrances that can pass through this door, but there is no need to do that right now.
Leaning against the side of this door lies a paralyzed mechanical guard, though his vision sensors and memory may still be working. If he can extract the visual images he has preserved, then this guy who has been lying here for hundreds of years may be the eyewitness that Roy needs most now. (To be continued.) )
