Chapter 230: Bat Mage, Exploding Gold Coins and Scientific Research Results
Chen Tao stared at Black Adam, who had turned to ashes in the wail.
He was different from ordinary criminals, simply put, he was a magician.
Many people may be accustomed to Black Adam swinging his fists and punching people like Billy, but they ignore that he is not a powerful child like Billy, he is a veteran user of magic, just like Zatana, Constantine, Faustus, the demon Trigan, Lady Shangdu, the Meditation Mites, and so on.
And mages have a very striking characteristic: they are very difficult to die.
Not to mention Constantine, who does not accept hell, a mage like Faust, who has even destroyed the world in a certain timeline, can still turn himself into a human head worm and survive there.
Therefore, unless there is a crisis of the level of the Giant Beast, such as Zatara, the father of Zatana, a key member of the Dark Justice League and a user of the Irony Magic, for many mages, "going up in ashes" or "dying" does not mean that they are really dead. Sit-ups were a regular order for them, and resurrection was as common as eating and drinking.
Even Zatara, who died because of the beast, often sat up in front of his daughter from time to time.
All in all, dead, but not completely dead.
This is the reason why Chen Taohao did not hesitate to give Black Adam a hard blow.
If it was so simple to send Black Adam to the West, then the Wizarding Alliance thousands of years ago would not have locked Black Adam up.
Now he had only temporarily dispersed the other, like dispelling the hazy mist of the early morning.
However, on the morning of the second day, the annoying fog will still return.
Of course, Chen Tao glanced at the mechanical superman standing next to him.
As for his inability to die and sit-ups, Black Adam was only given the mechanical superman next to him to lift his shoes. The mechanical superman Hank Henshaw, his body is just a container for his consciousness, even Darkseid can't kill him, he was destroyed in the comics I don't know how many times and still resurrected, he and Black Adam, one is more kraft candy than the other.
Chen Tao walked to Black Adam's ashes.
"Hah, I knew it!" Killer Crocodile whispered to Captain Cold, "Trust me, Batman will laugh at the pile of ashes later, and then wipe them evenly and apply them to his body." β
Facing Captain Cold's terrifying gaze, the big green crocodile swore and said, "That's right, this is what we Gotham people will do." β
Martian Manhunter nodded to the side. The government's analysis of Batman's behavior is not a day or two, and the other party does often do some more abstract than concrete behavior. Killer Crocodile had been with Batman for a long time, and he knew each other well, making the same assumptions as the government sources had left on him.
But to everyone's surprise, they saw Batman half-crouched on the ground.
Some tiny nanobots condensed in his palm, forming a tiny urn.
"Holy, the deceased. May you turn into waves and fade with the sea, and fly to the edge of the sea and the sky in the faint space of the sunset. β
Batman then pours the ashes into a small box he made with nanobots.
The little box floated up to his head, and just when everyone thought he would suddenly start laughing and show the ashes in his mouth, he just let the box float quietly next to his head.
"It's not what you say." Captain Cold bites his ear at the killer crocodile.
"Actually, think about it." Killer Crocodile said: "Black Adam was completely killed by Batman, but in this matter, he behaved so normally to collect the ashes of the other party, which is the most abstract." β
The big crocodile published his "Abstract Theory of Relativity", but soon turned his head to meet Batman's disapproving gaze, and was suddenly too frightened to speak.
But Chen Tao quickly drew his attention back from the killer crocodile.
γWarning! Warn! γ
[Detected to be in possession of Anchor Item: Black Adam's Ashes]
[Description: From the legacy of the magical guardian thousands of years ago after his extinction, his despair and wails before his destruction were the same as when he was sealed away thousands of years ago.] Along with it was his insatiable greed for magical power. You might be able to use it to summon Batman from an alternate universe. γ
[However, the existence that is reflected because of the thirst for magic, could it be some kind of good mage?] γ
["No! Don't shout! Don't make me shout that spell! It's going to kill me! β

[Hazard Level: B-]
[In the main universe, Batman believes that magic cannot be controlled and cannot be controlled, so his attitude is to stay away from magic. However, in a certain dark multiverse, instead of traveling the world, Batman of that world learns magic from Zatana, and later chaos magic, killing the demon Atregan, whose wand is enhanced by a ghost to become a cunning and agile magician. γ
Chen Tao looked at this explanation thoughtfully.
"Let's go." He said.
Naturally, he took Black Adam's ashes, leaving not even a small grain in placeβ
The nanobots are still on the ground, screening and searching for Black Adam on a microscopic level.
He picked up the still unconscious leader of the Justice League and let Kara Zo-El take the lead and fly towards the city.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
For the whole world, no one knows about the war that took place in the suburbs before.
But the only thing that is certain is that with the formation of the Alliance, soon the forces under the command of the government and the personnel of Batman merged, resulting in a major earthquake.
Gotham, inside the Wayne Group's laboratory.
"Ah, Batman, you're here." Lucius turned his head and saw Batman, as he always did, as he usually did, as he had done from the edge of the window, as wisps of tiny bat robots flew in, his face full of exhaustion, though he probably didn't feel it.
Lucius was sure that the other party must be physically and mentally exhausted. As one of the core members of the Batman group, Lucius is well aware of what has happened during this time, and the problem of the fusion of the two groups has kept Bruce even busier.
"Dr. Silas Stone." Chen Tao nodded to the other person in the room, as if he had seen the other person. Then he couldn't wait to ask, "What happened to the research on the mother box?" β
In the center of the room, the mother box was in the middle of all kinds of sophisticated instruments, and countless tiny particles on the surface were constantly swimming and emitting a magnificent and terrifying light.
"It's not good." Dr. Stone was the first to speak, "Everything we had in mind about the mother box was problematic. β
"How?"
Dr. Stone pulled out a remote control and pressed it, and a crack opened in the steel wall next to him, revealing a terrifying monster soaked in nutrient solution.
Or the corpse of a terrible monster with strangulation marks everywhere and scorch marks from laser weapons piercing it.
"We're trying to fuse a living creature with the technology of the mother box, as you say, to create a half-mechanical, half-biological weapon."
Dr. Stone pushed his glasses, he had been studying the master box for a long time before Lucius, and he was a true expert.
"However, the experiment failed completely, and the mother box only frantically devoured every creature under his control, and this thing did not understand the meaning of creation."
He said, "Those creatures have all surrendered to the will of the mother box, and have become monsters that only know how to kill, and some even show demon-like characteristics. β
"The first time we created him, there was a terrible riot in that monster. If it weren't for Lucius having arranged for Poison Ivy to be present beforehand," Dr. Stone glanced at the broken monster with some trepidation, "Maybe we're going to have another experimental accident." β
"Frankly, the idea of trying to create a cyborg with Apocalypse technology is almost impossible." Lucius added on the side:
"We've tried a lot of times, we've changed the parameters countless times, and built a lot of machines like you said for the newborn cyborg to devour, but no matter which animal we use, we're just clones ......"
Lucius scratched his head first: "Well, even though those clones don't have any consciousness, this still challenges the lower limit of morality. β
"But even with so many methods, we all ended up failing, no matter what."
"Even a normal human being with a will will cannot succeed." Dr. Stone spoke, "There is a limit to human consciousness, and it is impossible for them to compete with the control of the mother box. β
"So ......"
"So?"
Chen Tao savored the answers given by the two scientists, and still had some reluctance: "If we use a real ......"
"Such an idea is neither responsible nor scientific."
But as expected, he incurred unanimous opposition from both of them.
"Okay, okay."
Chen Tao's eyes were a little gloomy, he actually didn't say that he wanted to use the real "person", which was himself.
But after all, he didn't dare to bet on whether he would rely on the ability of the bat Leniak to crush the mother box, or whether the mother box would erode himself with the mind of the Apocalypse.
It's still too dangerous after all, and it didn't get to that point.
Chen Tao clenched his fists, and then slowly released them.
But then again......
The mother box is completely incompatible with living beings? How was the steel bone born?
Is the existence of every superhero really an irreproducible miracle?
Wait a minute......
"Have you used all the machines in that lab that day when the demons attacked?" Chen Tao touched his chin and asked, "Don't leave any clutter, is it the arrangement of the day?" β
The two scientists looked at each other, then nodded together.
"Yes, but that doesn't change the outcome of the failed experiment."
Chen Tao quickly browsed their experiment logs, and then looked at them, but suddenly had a feeling of being terrified. He paused, then said:
"Is there a possibility......"
Is it possible that without his intervention that day, even if Victorstone, the future Cyborg, really tried to fuse with the mother box, as in the comics, he might not have succeeded?
His fusion with the Mother Box will only create a terrifying monster instead of a future superhero Cyborg?
This may seem like nonsense, but the fact that the mother box is completely incapable of merging with living things as shown in the experimental data seems to be a fact.
Hell, what kind of dark universe do I live in?
But he quickly stuffed such negative emotions back into his heart, and then calmed down, and temporarily changed the subject: "Okay, you two, we have other work to do next." β
"I need your help with my questions about Gorilla Grud and the Turtle Man," he said. β
"Do you know the two of them well enough now?"
"Okay." Dr. Stone said, "But I'm afraid it's going to be a little while, tomorrow." I asked my son, Victor Stone, to watch his basketball game today. β
Chen Tao glared at him.
Dead in his life, Steelbone's dad came to see his rugby game?
"It's a rugby game, right?" Lucius next to him said.
"No, no, it's a basketball game." Dr. Stone replied, "My son, Victor Stone, is now not just a football player, he is a basketball player. β
His face was filled with a look of pride that belonged to his father: "Today our whole family will go to see his basketball debut. β
"Victor! Victor! As he spoke, the father began to dance, imitating Victorstone's most famous slogan on the football field.
"So I can't be late." Dr. Stone gestured for a moment, then said, "I promised my son that he would go to see him." In order to take care of my schedule, he even stuck in the time of the game and delayed his promotion so that I could be there for his competition. β
"I can't let him down."
He looked at the clock hanging not far away: "And it's too late now, it's time to get off work." β
"But......" Chen Tao frowned, he was now busy with all kinds of messy things every day, and he didn't want Dr. Stone, an expert in the study of mother boxes, to leave work at all......
I haven't even gotten off work, how can you get off work, ahh
A certain bat that has been busy lately roars in his heart.
However, before Chen Tao could say anything, Dr. Stone had already begun to resolutely pack up the things on the table: "Don't come to me next time when you're about to get off work, Batman, oh, I'm sorry anyway, but let's talk about the important things tomorrow." β
He divided everything by two, and then lifted his feet, and in an instant he slipped away.
"See you tomorrow!"
Syllable!
Batman slapped him on the head.
Lucius looked at him with some caution.
"Ah, don't be angry, Batman."
He carefully pondered the words, "I know you're stressed, but Silas has vowed never to let his son down again since he almost lost it last time." β
"He was determined to be a good father," he said. β
He saw that Batman didn't speak, and he couldn't help but start worrying about Silas Stone.
Dr. Stone is the man sent to Batman by the government, and the other party doesn't trust Dr. Stone as much as they trust him. He didn't want the other party to be at odds with Dr. Stone.
But in the end, he still took a deep breath when he saw the other party:
"Forget it."
Chen Tao said: "You can accompany me to train my new ability." β
