Gotham.

Inside the Wayne Group's laboratory.

"Herong humanoids and Shangdu Cheng set a box of mothers! Drink! (The mother box is fused with humans to a certain extent!) ）

Buzz ......

Chen Tao gasped.

Silvery-white particles faded from his body, sweeping over his sharp shoulder armor, his armour with three iron spikes, his gray mage robes, and the upside-down bat emblem on his chest and embedded in front of the red round emblem.

When the particle broke away from the bat mage's dark golden magical universal belt and made a final goodbye to the hem of his robe, Chen Tao's legs went limp, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

"How are you, Batman?" Lucius hurriedly came over and helped him up from the ground: "Are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine."

Chen Tao nodded, looking at the restless mother box in the compartment not far away: "Don't come to me, concentrate on manipulating your instrument." ”

"It's all done." Lucius shook his head: "We have failed too many times, and we have repeated the experiment too many times, and the computer has already preset the whole process by Silas, and I have further refined the process just now." ”

He said: "If you can succeed, you will succeed, and if you fail, it has nothing to do with my manipulation." ”

So Chen Tao stopped talking, he looked at the buzzing instrument from the Apocalypse Star, his face was a little gloomy.

Although the results have not yet come out in the end, he already has a vague premonition that this time it may still not be successful.

The bat mage's anti-speech magic, though nominally learned from the Dark Universe's famous Grand Magician Gwani John Zatara, was actually studied under Zatana.

Unfortunately, without the magical genes and enviable mystical aptitude of Zatana's mother, Sindra, even someone as brilliant as Bruce Wayne could only be called a "user of anti-language magic" rather than a "master of anti-language magic".

Irony magic is certainly one of the most powerful spells in the DC Universe, but it's always the people who use it, not the magic, that is powerful.

Zatana is able to use anti-speech magic to erase other people's magic, and even create things out of thin air, so as to achieve a grand scene that is close to saying what she says and smearing reality, but that doesn't mean that a bat mage can do the same.

Chen Tao gritted his teeth.

He couldn't help but wonder if he could get Zatana and cast the anti-language magic together, would he be able to force the mother box......

Rumble!

The tremor of the mother box finally reached its peak, and in a dazzling fusion of light effects and almost explosions, the light of the mother box hit the clone not far away, turning half of his body into a mechanical form, and then began to frantically devour the weapons that had been prepared around him.

"Roaring !!!"

The monster roared in the sky, making a muffled cry.

"Quick, start mind control!"

Chen Tao turned his head to Lucius and gave an order, and the other party had already begun to do so without him saying it.

He stood in front of a large mess of instruments, his head sweating: "I'm trying, it doesn't work!" ”

At this point, the clones had fused with the surrounding weapons, and had almost completely lost their human appearance: "Roar!! ”

One by one, twisted metal protruded from its back, transforming into swaying tentacles that slapped against the transparent shield again and again.

"Didn't the pink pill work for him too......"

Chen Tao felt it silently for a while, and he was in a very bad mood.

It's a matter of course, he's stupid.

Although Ivy's special pink control pill can affect even Wonder Woman or Superman who has become Doomsday, the two of them are flesh and blood anyway, and although one has the blood of a god and the other has a biological position in the gene, they still do not go beyond the scope of pharmacology.

But the one in front of you?

The other person's body, or the part of the other party's cells that still exists, is completely undominant in this body, and no matter what medicine is taken, it is useless.

Chen Tao scolded in a low voice.

Then the silvery-white particles overlapped on his body again, this time, although the pointed ears were still sturdy, his skin was downright green, he was wearing a black and white metal spacesuit, and there were three pink ports reserved for his head to connect to the ship.

Rayniac, a fusion variant of Batman and Brainiac in a dark universe.

If you borrow the computing power of the other party......

Crash!

The transparent protective shield was broken, and fragments of tempered glass and various high-strength materials fell like raindrops, Lucius squatted down skillfully, and then picked up an explosion-proof shield to block his head, and the half-metal twisted monster roared and rushed straight in, and countless metal tentacles attacked the two of them in an instant.

But in the next moment, he was knocked to the ground by more metal tentacles stretched out from behind Chen Tao, who was synchronized with Brainiac, and was slammed to the ground twice like a weak child, falling straight to the ground, and then nailed to the ground in a large shape by more metal tentacles.

"Don't move, be obedient. Let me see if you're not developing properly. ”

Two other tiny mechanical cables protruded from Rayniak's head and thrust into the cyborg as he twitched and resisted.

Then, after a small burst of electricity, the mechanical monster raised its head in the air, and after a final roar, it exploded into a large mass of disgusting slime and machine parts.

Holding a half-human-high explosion-proof shield and hiding behind the table, Lucius, who was not splashed with the slightest disgusting thing, walked over, calmly put the shield aside, and then said to Batman, who was lying on the spot, his eyes were out of focus, and he was panting a little out of strength:

"You've got to stop."

He found a rag from the drawer next to him, handed it to Batman, and then took out another one and began to wipe the screen of the computer: "You have been synchronizing your so-called Batman of the other universe over and over again for more than 4 hours, the intensity is too high, your body can't stand it, it's okay." ”

He said, "You can't reverse the transformation of the mother box to those clones by becoming Brainac, there is no need to try again." ”

"Get the next clone out." But all he heard was Batman's calm voice with anger: "Come again!" ”

"Calm down, there are no clones anymore, they have all been burned out by you for 4 hours." "Science is not brainless trial and error," Lucius said, "and miracles of error, while existing, are not universal." The cultivation of clones also takes time. Do you think they are potatoes that grow in the ground in just two days? ”

Hearing Lucius's words, Chen Tao finally regained a little sense, but he still covered his head: "You don't understand! This is an extremely serious problem.

If no one can turn off Apocalypse's blast channel, it means that if Darkseid comes, we'll have to fight him to the death, rather than being able to open the blast channel and send him back to his hometown if he refuses to leave. ”

"We don't know exactly how strong he is, but it's conservatively estimated that he is also at the level of the Justice League alone," he said. ”

"If we don't find a way to send him away and fight for a long time, even if we can gain the upper hand for a while, we will be defeated by him little by little with his fists, and finally slide into the abyss."

He didn't care if Lucius could understand it, but grabbed his head and said repeatedly: "It's terrible! ”

He appeared to have a nervous breakdown.

"Actually...... I don't quite understand a little. Lucius hesitated for a moment, then said, "You told me before that as long as Steppenwolf didn't find the three mother boxes, Darkseid couldn't have come to Earth. ”

He said, "Well, it's easy, we just don't let Steppenwolf get the mother box, right?" He couldn't summon Darkseid, so it didn't matter how to send Darkseid back. ”

He said: "You said that one mother box is in the hands of the Amazons, and the other is in the hands of the Atlanteans, they are all well guarded, plus the mother box in front of you, Steppenwolf does not have three of them, and no crisis will happen." ”

"So it may be that I am simple, or that I don't understand the situation, but I don't quite understand why you are so anxious," he said. ”

Then he saw Batman turn his head to look at him.

"Uh, did I say something wrong?"

"That's right." "But I didn't do it entirely because I 'anticipated the worst'. ”

He said, "Who says if you can't collect all three mother boxes, Darkseid can't come in any other way?" ”

According to the information he got from Wonder Woman, it is basically certain that the world he lives in now about the three mother boxes summoning Darkseid is indeed similar to the setting in the movies he watched in his previous life, but the problem is that in the DC universe, nothing is absolute.

Darkseid's various fancy ways to come to the earth, are there still few plots in the comics?

To believe in a specific statement, and then not to prepare for any other possibility, is not only pushing yourself into the abyss, it is killing yourself with everyone.

Chen Tao turned his head to look at the clock on the wall not far away, then frowned, stretched out a hand, and controlled it to fly onto the clock face, wiping off the red strawberry jam splashed on it.

"Dr. Silas Stone and his son's basketball game must be over soon, right?"

He turned to Lucius and received an affirmative answer.

"Then it's time for him to get back to work."

Immediately after that, without waiting for Lucius to speak, Chen Tao flew into the sky and flew directly towards Victor Stone's basketball court.

Victor Stone is a newcomer from football to basketball, and the game he played was not a regular league between colleges and universities, but the most common street basketball league.

One of the criteria for a game like this is that the rules are relatively relaxed, the venue is very casual, and the time is even more negotiable, which is why Victor can take the initiative to card himself to the promotion time until after work in the afternoon.

The moment Dr. Silas Stone planned to go directly to accompany his son without working overtime, Chen Tao had already locked the location of Victor Stone's basketball game through the Internet.

At this point, he was full of anxiety, thinking that the game should be over now, and that it was time to call Dr. Stone back to join him in the experiment.

But halfway through the flight, the old butler's call came.

"Master Wayne, you promised me to come back for dinner tonight."

"I'm sorry, Alfred, I don't have time right now, I'm really sorry, but I'm afraid there's something more important to do." In the whistling air, Chen Tao replied with his mouth like a machine gun: "I'm in mid-air now, and I have a meeting with Amanda Waller later." ”

While perfunctory to the old butler, he landed on the corner of the street on the edge of Victor Stone's game basketball court, and then walked out to continue the call with Alfred:

"Come back to sleep? I'm sorry, Alfred, I ......."

"Victor, Victor!"

Chen Tao's voice was interrupted by the carnival of the mountains and the tsunami.

He turned his head to see Dr. Silas Stone standing in the audience on the basketball court, desperately shouting his son's name along with the crowd.

And the whole stadium has become a sea of celebration.

Victor Stone's team won.

Chen Tao looked at himself.

Covered in blood and the rancid smell of not taking a shower in days, he had just killed a metal robot monster, and all this in front of him was like two worlds from what he had just experienced.

"Dr. Stone! Dr. Stone! ”

Chen Tao shouted twice, but the other party did not hear his words, and Silas Stone happily climbed over the fence and hugged his son Victor Stone, jumping and jumping with joy.

Chen Tao knew that the man who almost lost his son, after he was lost and regained, would see his beloved son as more precious than anyone else in the world.

Victorstone's mother also climbed over the fence and ran towards Victorstone. A family of three hugged each other and shared the joy of victory. In the cheers of countless people, Chen Tao shouted twice, but the sound became smaller and smaller, and finally stopped.

He sighed, then slowly walked to an empty auditorium not far away, sat down, and looked at them with some blank eyes, looking at the family of three not far away.

The smiles on their faces made it seem as if the time it took for the fire to burn their eyebrows slowed down.

They were so happy that he couldn't bear to bother.

He looked at it for a moment, a little dazed, a little envious, and a little greedy, and then he pouted and opened the communication amid a cheer of celebration.

"Hey, Alfred? I changed my mind. Yes, yes, I would push off the meeting with Waller. Come back in the evening? Yes, I'll be back for dinner. ”

"I want a sandwich! Well. Well. ”

"Alright."

Chen Tao hung up the phone.

That's nice.

(Note: The Bat Mage killed the host of their cosmic demon Atregen in the official DC setting, and sealed the opponent known as "Magic Superman" into his soul, and also captured the ghost and made it power his wand. If he's really that strong, there's no reason to be so rubbish.

And the ranking of the strength of the official mage given by DC is as follows:

Orthodox Academics (Zatana) Weaker than Archmage (Doctor Fate), Weaker than Half-Demon Blood (Zakkan), Weaker than Demons (Etregan), Weaker Than Guardian of Nature (Swamp Monsters), Weaker Than Three Original Sins (Phantom Stranger), Weaker than God's Vengeful Spirit (Ghost)

Therefore, the book has been set up in two parts, only retaining the history of his study under Zatana's father Zatara, changing the sealing demon Atregen into his own soul to killing the other party, and changing the captive ghost to a wand strengthened by the ghost, ignoring the outrageous settings that only exist on paper. And the history of the other party's seal of "Magic Superman" Atregen also conflicts with another Batman who fused with Atregen in terms of personality, so the final positioning danger level is B-)
