"Wayne, Quinn, I have to admit that you two are two of the best of all the apprentices I've met in my long years."

Both Batman and Green Arrow looked up at the images floating on the screen, alert, but didn't stop what they were doing.

Because this is a video that has been prepared in advance.

They looked around to make sure that nothing was going on in the room was noticed by anyone outside, and that there was no intrusion at the door or anywhere else.

"If you see this video, it means that my base has been breached. Although I know that this will happen sooner or later, it is also a bit disappointing......"

"This old guy talks a lot." Arrow runs Felicity's program through a spider-bot, copying all the data.

Batman took matters into his own hands, sifting through key information from the assassins' database, while also muttering, "Lars is just trying to stall for time, maybe he planted a bomb in the base."

But he did this too much, just uploading the information to the metal spirit's server, it would also take ten minutes, enough for us to die in the trap a dozen times. ”

The next moment, Lars El Gul, who was in the video, spoke: "In retaliation for your damage to the Assassin Alliance, I have spread explosives under this base. Once this video is triggered, the entire base is blocked. ”

Green Arrow raised his head in surprise and gave Batman a thumbs up: "You still know this old guy better!" ”

Green Arrow was Yao Fei at the beginning, and the identity of this old man is a mystery, and he has something to do with the mysterious ancient kingdom of the East, but he can't fight with the Eight Poles of the Assassin Alliance.

After leaving Purgatory Island, he met Talia's sister, who, due to a series of accidents, came to Lars El Gul and was chosen by him as his heir.

But the two people came into contact for only a few months, and they were all fighting and killing in the middle, or talking about some philosophical speculation, and they did not go deep into private matters.

But Batman is different, and although the League of Assassins is only one stop in his journey of self-exile, he has a deep entanglement with Lars.

Arguably, in addition to Crime Alley, Lars is also one of the most important factors that made Batman appear in the world.

"I wish I had never seen them!"

Batman's face under the mask let out a sigh and said to Green Arrow, "If I could see Ian during my exile journey, maybe my life would be a little better now." ”

The two of them stood in front of the computer and chatted, waiting for the copying to be completed.

As for finding the explosives buried by Lars, it was completely unnecessary.

They knew that the entire base must be covered with explosives.

Lars is not a saint, if he wants to kill, he will definitely use the most decisive means to ensure that the enemy dies without even scum.

While the two were chatting, a red alarm sounded throughout the base, and a shrill sound spread throughout the base.

All the Assassins received the news that the enemy had invaded the base and was about to blow itself up, but they did not have the slightest fear of death.

For the Assassins of the League of Assassins, the meaning of their lives was to dedicate their lives to Lars El Gul in order to create a world that the Assassins believed would eventually come.

Amid the red glow and the cacophony of sirens, the Assassins did not hesitate to draw their swords and impale the villagers who were carrying supplies for them.

Then, stepping on the blood of innocents, they strode towards the blockaded central area, ready to use their bodies and blood to drag the enemy in their footsteps and die with them.

"They're coming!"

Green Arrow walked over to another computer, called up the base's internal surveillance, and watched hundreds of assassins rush over as if they were dead, giving him a headache.

"So, I hate these cultists!"

With that, he pulled out a special arrow from his quiver, aimed it at the heavy iron door, and shot it straight out.

Bang!

The moment the circular arrow touched the iron door, it exploded directly, spewing out strands of foam, and in contact with the steel, it instantly fused together, locking the entire iron gate and the main body of the building together.

Green Arrow also didn't forget the vents above his head, locking all the openings to the outside world.

"Those people can't get in now."

Batman looked at the readings on the computer screen and nodded unhurriedly.

Although it is impossible for them to get out of the door now.

Lars' video continues: "Of course, I know that even such a burst of action may not necessarily be able to keep you two.

So, I have one last word for you......"

"Hurry up, old man!"

In Green Arrow's muttering, Lars on the screen said in a deep voice, "The Illuminati are not your enemies now, the real enemies are in the sky, in the universe, in that deep darkness."

Darkseid, his greedy gaze always fixed on the anti-life equation. If you survive, send a message to Ian to stop our pursuit and unite against the invasion of the Apocalypse. ”

"Cut!"

Green Arrow smiled disdainfully: "Wasn't it their Illuminati who provoked first?" They were the ones who betrayed our intelligence to Steppenwolf, and they were the ones who allowed Anton Arkane to invade reality. ”

"Now, this shameless fellow, even said he wanted peace?"

He shook his head, two puffs of air came out of his nose, and said in a deep voice, "I'm really curious about what these faces are made of. ”

"That's something for the Justice League to think about, and we don't need to be distracted by it now."

Batman ignored Lars' declaration and focused on the computer in front of him.

And when the video ended, a blood-red number appeared on the big screen, counting down from 10.

That's the countdown to the explosives explosion!

At the same time, there was a rumbling sound outside the door.

In order to break in, the assassins directly brought grenades and explosives, violently broke down the door, and the sound and power of the gunpowder explosion shook the entire mountain wall.

"The data is copied, let's go!"

When the number reaches 5, Batman retrieves all of the spider-bots and pulls a disk out of the case.

4！

Green Arrow grabbed Batman's arm, pulled out a cylindrical beacon with a red glow at the top, and thrust it into the floor.

3！

The red light at the tip of the beacon spread across the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a complex circular pattern that burned into the steel floor.

2！

With a boom, the pattern contracted into a swirling vortex of energy, opening a burst channel to the outside world.

1！

Green Arrow grabs Batman and jumps into the blast tunnel, leaving the deadly area before the final moment comes.

Bang!

The unknown explosives arranged by Lars were detonated, and the exaggerated power of the explosion directly destroyed the base in the mountain.

The shock wave continued to rise along the tunnels inside the mountain in all directions, tearing through the mountain as easily as tearing through a fragile piece of white paper.

Green Arrow and Batman appeared on another mountain, feeling the vibrations coming from under their feet, and their hearts were terrified.

They looked into the distance and saw countless rolling stones rolling down the mountain like raindrops, killing countless animals living in the peaks.

The towering peaks are centered on one point, and they are sunken down, and the verdant forest falls into the peaks, which look as if they have been swallowed.

"Shouldn't we be glad this isn't a city?"

Green Arrow looked at the vanished mountain peak, his face gloomy.

He didn't even dare to think about what the consequences would be if such a bomb was arranged in Star City?

In particular, Lars was particularly fond of choosing cities for raids.

Although, in his own words, this is to burn out the decay and let a better world be born out of it.

But what about people now?

"Let's go!"

Batman didn't respond to Green Arrow's question, just patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"It's time for us to meet Ian and report to him on the results of this operation. Here, the other members of the coalition are responsible for the aftermath. ”

Green Arrow nodded, and the two called the Justice League superheroes on duty today, and then they disappeared and were teleported back to the Hall of Justice.

As soon as they walked out the door, Batman and Green Arrow saw Ian waiting for them.

"As soon as the watchtower took off, it detected a large-scale geological change in South America, which is inseparable from the two of you!"

Ian's gaze swept over Batman and Green Arrow's bodies to make sure they weren't hurt, and then got down to business.

"It's Lars, he planted a lot of explosives at that base, and all the assassins are dead."

Batman briefly outlines the ins and outs of things in one sentence.

Green Arrow added, "But before the explosion, we copied all the data in the base. ”

"I've seen it."

After the invasion of the Rotten Realm, Ian's bond with the Metal Spirit has become even stronger.

Batman stepped forward, took a disk from his belt, and handed it to Ian, "This is a message from the Illuminati. ”

"These guys are finally willing to face us head-on."

Ian took the disk, his thumb and forefinger metalized, and read the information in less than a second.

"What the hell are these guys going on in their heads?"

Ian sneered, "Now I remember that there is still an apocalypse star hanging in my head? What did you do earlier? ”

Batman took off his helmet, revealing Bruce's face, and asked seriously, "So, are you going to refuse the Illuminati's 'peace' offer?" ”

Brewster's intention to be peaceful was accented.

Ian touched the disk in his hand and asked playfully, "Do you know why Lars brought up the anti-life equation?" ”

A tendon in Batman's head was plucked, and he instantly understood what Ian meant.

The same is true of Green Arrow, who folds his arms and complains, "Is he threatening us? If we continue to fight, the Illuminati will use the anti-life equation and die with us? ”

"They have the ability!"

Ian doesn't doubt this: "Vandal was able to handle Luthor precisely because he knew a lot about the anti-life equation. ”

He looked at the disk in his hand that reflected the light, was silent for a while, and then said, "Forget it, just let them go for the time being!" Rather than letting Apocalypse Star go to the other traitors, it is better to keep the Illuminati, at least we know this group of people. ”

Ian made a decision, and neither did Bruce and Oliver.

The Justice League, under Ian's auspices, has almost plowed the earth, Superman, and they are flying all over the world, basically digging up all the Illuminati members they can find.

If you continue to fight, you won't gain much.

If it weren't for that, Bruce and Oliver wouldn't have taken such a big risk and infiltrated the Assassin League's base.

Although the two of them already have a tendency to self-destruct, they will not take the initiative to seek death.

"Is the anti-life equation really that powerful?"

Somehow, Oliver suddenly became curious about this thing.

Ian looked at the fleeting dark green light on Oliver's body and nodded, "The anti-life equation is hugely powerful, but I don't think there is any life that can completely master him."

Even a new god like Darkseid, if he tries to understand the core of the equation, will only be led to self-destruction by the equation. ”

"Then let's just send the equation out, can't we just sit back and wait for the Apocalypse Star to blow itself up?"

"It's that simple, Darkseid is not stupid, it's impossible not to see the potential danger."

Ian shook his head, the reason why Darkseid was in a hurry to fuse the equation in the original book was because he had been defeated by the Justice League several times, coupled with the persecution of the new creation star, so he gave it a go.

Now, although Steppenwolf is gone, Darkseid is still the Dark Monarch on top, how can he be dizzy and risk himself.

"Prepare honestly, my young master Quinn, don't think about having nothing."

Ian stifled Quinn's idea of taking the plunge and joined them to check the Assassins' League data.

……

In the palace of Vandal Savage, he met with Lars El Gul.

This palatial hall is dotted with crystal lamps everywhere, and it is brightly lit as if it were in the middle of day.

A special scent spreads through the air and sweeps over those mural reliefs, giving a sense of reassurance.

Vandal himself poured a glass of red wine for Lars, and the wine fell into the crystal glass like a ruby.

"The base in South America was raided by Batman and Green Arrow, and all the data was taken away, including the words we left for Ian."

Lars did not go to pick up the wine, he did it in a soft chair, he also straightened up, maintained an ascetic style, and did not indulge himself.

He asked Vandal, "Ian, this is a man who will not give up until he achieves his goal. I don't think the anti-life equation can threaten him. ”

"His steadfastness will not outweigh his love for ordinary people."

Vandal lifted the quilt and shook it, took a sip of red wine, and said confidently: "Although he seems to be freewheeling, nothing can restrain him." But this is the kind of person who is more principled. ”

"And, he knows things I don't know and trusts him to make the right choice."

Lars stared at the red wine on the table: "We need to rest, if he is willing to accept peace, this is the best outcome." ”

"Alas, Lars, my dear old friend, there is no real peace in this world!"

Vandal put down his glass, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.

Lars frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Vandal, I don't mind if you tear up the agreement, but what good is it for us to tear up the agreement at this time?" ”

"You are mistaken, my old friend!"

Vandal smiled and clarified for himself: "I don't have any plans for the Justice League, and there are others who are dissatisfied with superheroes!" ”
