Chapter 436: Batman is always one step ahead, the night owl and the outcast
Some dark corner of the universe.
"Are you okay? Night stalkers? ”
Grell ...... Daughter of Darkseid. She teams up with the Night Stalker to kill his father, Darkseid, and eradicate the evil bloodline from the other party.
At this moment, when she walked into the owl's burrow, she saw that it was pitch black. In the dim light reflected off the computer screen, the night owl sat alone in front of the owl computer.
He had removed his helmet, revealing the mortal face beneath his helmet.
It was a surprising sight, as it had been a long time since the Night Stalker had revealed his true identity to anyone else. Greel's dark red eyes, inherited from Darkseid. Wandering around the corners of the surrounding room, she knew that if the Night Stalker was here now, it would show that he had the confidence to solve himself at any time.
The night stalker looks at the screen.
On the screen, Nightwing Dick Grayson pouts his hips and is working out on a gym machine in a venue that belongs to a Night Stalker. His streamlined muscles erect on his uniform due to his low body fat percentage, like a peacock with an open screen.
And on a secondary screen next to it, the Cosmic Hunter Tyrant Wolf is lit. The strongest hunk rests his big foot on his space motorcycle, and the other hand is attached to a chain attached to the back of the hook hanging from the front of the car and the other end to the chain around his waist.
"You're here."
Grell hears the night stalk's voice. The voice was hoarse and weak, as if something had been drained.
She walked over to the night stalker, only to notice that the night stalker's eyes were bloodshot, as if they hadn't closed their eyes for days and nights.
His eyes were full of distress and haggardness, and he seemed to be 10 years old.
"Turn on the light and I'll talk to you again." Grell said.
The night stalker did so.
Soon the lights illuminated the entire Owl Cave, and Grell spoke, "I've been following up on the affairs of Atlantis, and Lord Orm is exactly going in the direction we expected. ”
The Night Stalker didn't speak, neither approving nor giving any other instructions, like a shell with its soul drained. Grell didn't understand what his situation was, but continued: "The preparations for Staro are in place. ”
"Through Lord Aum, we were able to get Staro the Conqueror to do what we wanted. That cosmic starfish is in vain the mind master, and you play with it. At this point, I still admire you, Night Stalker. ”
Seeing that the night owl did not react, Greel continued to report what she was about to say:
"On the Red side, due to the pressure of Anton Akane, the Lord of the Corrupt Country, those members of the Blood Church who belong to the Red of All Beings are also planning a plan to make the Red of All Living Beings grow in an abnormal way. They are always like this, as you showed me - the botanical master Jack Wood also tried to make the green of all things swallow the red of all things, and now the red of all things wants to swallow the green of all things in turn. When faced with danger, the first reaction is not to solve the danger, but to do everything to harm others, strengthen yourself, and then confidently feel that you can escape the mouth of the beast. They will never learn to work with others, and that's where we can take advantage of them. ”
"The Dark Thorn (note: the magic side, a magical druid, along with the plant master Jason Wood and Poison Ivy Girl, is the spokesperson of the Green of All Things) has fully thrown himself into the arms of the Red of All Things, and this traitor to the Green of All Things will be the first time that the Red of All Things will show its dark side to Batman, I have introduced Lord Orm to them, and the people of the Church of Dark Thorn and Blood are now beginning to think that they are controlling Lord Orm, as you might expect, Night Stalker."
She spoke: "And all this, all of them, are like manipulated puppets, becoming pawns on our chessboard. Our plan to manipulate them has been completely successful, and when the time comes, the entire population of the planet will become users of the Red Power, so that, according to the information we have gathered before, the millions of people who have been transformed by the Red will be enough to become Batman's living battery. ”
"Plus Aquaman Arthur Curry. What you told me to do has succeeded, and we have reinvented him while still retaining his sanity. He had been going crazy in the trench for a while, and I thought he had failed...... But now, his connection to the Red of All Things has been fully established, and the powerful life force in his body will become the key for the Red of All Things to devour the Green of All Things. Aside from the change in appearance, his IQ was barely affected, although it may have been the reason for his low IQ in the first place. And Batman was so anxious about the Kryptonian that he didn't realize the changes in Aquaman at all. ”
She turned around and sat down on the edge of the computer console: "Batman is known as wise, but he is even better. He didn't even realize that everything was your handiwork, General Zod didn't know anything, he couldn't explain anything to Batman. ”
"You've already given Parallax and Ion Shark to Batman and helped him take control of the Crime Syndicate. You're in control, Night Stalker. ”
The night stalker still didn't react.
This strange state of affairs made Grell a little unhappy, but Grell continued, "I have secretly informed General Zod and asked him to find a way to meet Supergirl. Supergirl, on the other hand, will tell General Zod what you want to convey. Then the last piece of the puzzle has been put together, and Batman will be strengthened by you to a degree that you have never seen before, and Darkseid......"
She paused, then continued, "And Superman Supreme, have you figured out where he is on the Wall of Origin?" ”
The night stalker still didn't speak, and Grell frowned, finally losing her patience: "What's the matter with you?" Dumb? I thought I was here to discuss with you what to do next. ”
She said, "Or are you still haunting the last failure of the Morbius Chair?" What's so important to you? Are you listening to me? ”
"None of this makes sense." The night stalker whispered.
His voice was a little downcast.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing." Night Stalker said.
He casually weaved a lie to Grell: "I mean, that alone isn't enough to strengthen Batman to the limit so that he can stand up to the anti-monitors." We need Superman Supreme, who alone can stand up to all of our previous plans. You've probably read the previous intel on Superman Supreme. ”
"Yes, that's right." Grell nodded.
That's why the night stalker doesn't intend to hide it in front of the other party at all.
With Greel's brain, what if it doesn't hide it? What could she perceive? The Night Stalker only needed one sentence to dispel her doubts, which was a dimensionality reduction blow to her intelligence, and Greel never realized that even though she was standing next to the Night Stalker at this point, talking to each other as an ally, she was still a puppet manipulated by the other party.
The chess pieces always fantasize that they are the ones who play chess, and at this point, there is no difference between Grell and Lord Aum, the numerous members of the Red of All Beings, or even Staro.
In front of the Night Stalker......
All people are just useful tools, and in this regard, Batman is no different.
The night owl pondered silently.
Batman calls those people his companions, claiming that the Justice League is an alliance and not his dictatorial kingdom.
But the Night Stalker knows that Batman is just like him, and in Batman's eyes, those people are not his teammates at all, but just tools in human form.
He'll do what he wants...... It doesn't matter if you don't.
But do you know what is the saddest part?
Plans have changed. Although the process and results have not changed, the purpose has changed. The Mobius Chair has revealed to the Night Stalker that what he's doing has no effect, so the Night Stalker must consider Plan B, which he always has, even though it may seem very, very cruel.
He'd thought about preserving both worlds at once, and his previous plans were based on that attitude, but you know, things don't always work out that way
"Abandoned son."
Night Stalker said.
"That's right, Lord Orm, they're outcasts, they just need to be able to strengthen Batman to achieve our goals." Grell nodded and said, "I'll keep up with the plan." ”
You see, an outcast never feels like an outcast.
And the people who are really cared about by the night stalkers...... The real night stalker is not going to give up......
After Grell left.
The night owl turned his head, and he looked at Nightwing Dick Grayson, who had been working out there on the computer screen, and suddenly pulled the microphone next to the owl computer to his lips abruptly.
"You heard that, Dick. You've been here for so long, and you've figured out the basics, haven't you? When else are you going to load? ”
Nightwing on the screen looks as usual, as if nothing has been heard.
He pouted his American buttocks again and slammed them into the gym machine, as if it were just an ordinary pouting of thousands of ordinary gym sessions. He wiped the sweat from his head, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile that fascinated thousands of girls.
Night Stalker shook his head, "I know you've tried many times, but don't try, you won't have a chance to pass the information on to Batman." ”
He put on an owl mask and looked into a corner of the room: "I know you have a bug here, and then ...... over there"
He looked to the other corner, and then the hood detected a bright spot: "Some nanobots? Old-fashioned tricks. Don't think I don't know, Metal Spirit. ”
He worked on the owl computer for a while, and soon a box suddenly rose from the corner of the room, imprisoning the tiny spores of some plants in the air, followed by a small bug lying in the corner of the room.
"Batman has left a lot of little tricks on you." The Night Stalker commented, "But it's all tricks that have already been played." ”
He said, "Batman sent you to my side, do you think I don't know what he's thinking?" ”
"You ......"
The Night Stalker wanted to say something, but he suddenly frowned.
Because he saw that Nightwing, who was still exercising, suddenly put down his fitness measures. He stood up as if he had heard some command, groped around the gym for a while, and then found the position of the camera so straight, smiling at the camera, showing a mouthful of white porcelain teeth.
That's impossible.
The night owl uses a hidden camera when secretly spying on Dick Grayson, which is a technology derived from the parent box, do you think it is a candid camera left by a pervert in a roadside hotel, so easy to spot?
From Dick Grayson's point of view, this location should be just an ordinary wall.
On another screen, the wolf who was still napping suddenly turned his head...... No, it wasn't that he turned his head, but the necklace around his neck seemed to be alive, and he pulled his head sideways and almost broke his neck...... Although this strength is not enough to break the neck of the wolf, it is just a metaphor.
The necklace around his neck flowed like flowing water, and then condensed into Batman's head:
"You're a little mistaken."
The night owl frowned, and he stood up.
The wolf was woken up by the abnormal movement of the necklace, he opened his eyes blankly, and then three question marks floated on his head: "My *** Batman!?" Why are you always there? ”
Then Nightwing on another screen said:
"Spies are not one, but two - what does that mean, Batman, what does it mean that you don't have to pretend? Wait, did you have a spy besides me? Oh, okay, okay. ”
He shrugged his shoulders and smiled again at the same fascination of thousands of girls: "You know, Batman is always one step ahead. ”
Then he retracted his smile and explained, "That's what Batman asked me to say. ”
The night owl looked at the wolf on the screen in amazement.
Then a smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "What does it matter." ”
He stared at Batman's metal avatar, "You didn't hear all of what I had to say. Some parts are pinched off and not heard by Nightwing. Your setup is based on Tyrannowolf and Nightwing, and you wouldn't know if I hadn't made them hear. You've been waiting for my chance to have a showdown with them, so that you can hear for yourself what I want to hear. You made it, how do you feel now? He said in a deep voice, "You should have begun to realize that our purpose is the same for the time being, isn't it?" ”
"We all want to kill the anti-watchers," he said. ”
……
……
……
"This is not the first time we have met, but allow me to introduce myself a little more...... I'm Batman. ”
"I know you. Hello, Bruce. I can still feel you in those controlled hours. ”
Supergirl said.
"Let's not talk about it for now, I want to meet General Zod."
She asked cautiously, "Is that okay?" ”
