What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 231 Bat Mage, Exploding Gold Coins and Scientific Research Results

Chen Tao looked at Black Adam who was reduced to ashes amidst the wails.

He is different from ordinary criminals. Simply put, he is a magician.

Many people may be used to Black Adam beating people with his fists like Billy, but they ignore that he is different from a child with power like Billy. He is a senior magic user, just like Zatanna and Constantine. , Faust, Diabolik Trigon, Lady Xanadu, Meditation Mite and many more.

The mages all have one very distinctive characteristic: it is difficult to die.

Not to mention the hell-resistant Constantine, a wizard like Faust, even when the world was destroyed in a certain timeline, he could actually turn himself into a human-headed worm and linger there.

Therefore, unless they encounter a crisis of the level of a giant beast, such as Zatara, an important member of the Dark Justice League and the user of irony magic, Zatanna's father, for many mages, they will be "wiped into ashes" or "Death" does not mean that they are truly dead.Sit-ups are commonplace for them, and resurrection is as common as eating and drinking.

Even Zatara, who died because of the giant beast, often did sit-ups in front of his daughter from time to time.

All in all, he was dead, but not completely dead.

This is why Chen Taohao did not hesitate to give Black Adam a hard blow.

If it were so easy to send Black Adam to death, then the Wizards' Union thousands of years ago would not have imprisoned Black Adam.

Now he only dispelled the other party temporarily, like dispersing the hazy fog in the morning.

However, the annoying fog would still come back the next morning.

Of course, Chen Tao glanced at the mechanical superman standing next to him.

Regarding his inability to die and sit-ups, Black Adam is only allowed to carry the shoes of the mechanical superman next to him.Hank Henshaw, the mechanical superman, his body is just a container for his consciousness. Even Darkseid can't kill him. He was destroyed countless times in the comics and still resurrected. He and Black Adam are more awesome than the other. sugar.

Chen Tao walked towards Black Adam's ashes.

"Ha, I knew it!" Killer Crocodile whispered to Captain Cold: "Believe me, Batman will definitely laugh wildly while holding the pile of ashes, and then spread them evenly on his body."

Facing Captain Cold's horrifying gaze, the big green crocodile said firmly: "Yes, this is what we Gothamites will do."

Martian Manhunter nodded secretly beside him.The government's analysis of Batman's behavior is no longer a day or two. The opponent often does some actions that are more abstract than concrete.Killer Croc has been with Batman for a long time, and he knows him well, and his assumptions are consistent with the impression left on him by government information.

But to everyone's surprise, they saw Batman squatting on the ground.

Some tiny nanorobots condensed in his palm, forming a small urn.

"Holy, the deceased. May you turn into waves and fade away with the sea water, and in the dim light of the setting sun, fly to the edge of the line where the sea and the sky meet."

Batman then poured the ashes into a small box he created using nanobots.

The small box floated next to his head. Just when everyone thought he would suddenly start laughing wildly and then pop the ashes into his mouth, he just let the box float quietly next to his head.

"This is different from what you said." Captain Cold bit Killer Croc's ear.

"Actually, think about it carefully." Killer Croc said: "Black Adam was completely killed by Batman. In this matter, he acted so normally and collected the ashes of the other party. This is the most abstract thing."

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 Killer Crocodile.

【warn!warn! 】

[It has been detected that you are holding an anchor item: Black Adam’s ashes]

[Introduction: The legacy left by the magic guard from thousands of years ago after it was wiped out in ashes. His despair and wailing before his destruction were the same as when he was sealed thousands of years ago.Also wiped out in ashes was his endless greed for magical power.You might be able to use it to summon Batman from some alternate universe. 】

[However, could the existence reflected by the desire for magic be some kind-hearted mage? 】

["No! Don't shout it! Don't let me shout that spell! It will kill me!"

[Transformed crisis energy: 159]

[The crisis energy you have at this time is: 969]

[WARNING, DOWNLOADING TARGABLE BATMAN FILE]

【Bat Mage】

[Danger level: B-]

[In the main universe, Batman believes that magic cannot be controlled or controlled, so his attitude is to stay away from magic.However, in a certain dark multiverse, the Batman of that world did not travel around the world, but learned magic from Zatanna, and later learned chaos magic, killing the demon Etrigan, and his wand was stolen by the ghost. Strengthened and became a cunning and agile magician. 】

Chen Tao looked at this explanation thoughtfully.

"Let's go," he said.

He naturally took away Black Adam's ashes without leaving even a small particle on the spot——

Nanobots still remain on the ground, identifying and searching for Black Adam on a microscopic level.

He picked up the still unconscious leader of the Justice League, let Kara Zor-El hit her head first, and flew towards the city.

……

……

……

To the entire world, no one knew about the war that had taken place in the suburbs.

But what is certain is that with the establishment of the alliance, the forces under the government and Batman's personnel soon combined and 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 flying in from the edge of the window into wisps of tiny bat robots as usual. His face was full of exhaustion, even though he I may not think so.

Lucius was sure that the other party must be exhausted both physically and mentally.As one of the core members of the Batman Group, Lucius is very aware of what happened during this period, and the integration of the two groups made Bruce even busier.

"Dr. Silas Stone." Chen Tao nodded towards the other person in the room, indicating that he had met him.Then he asked eagerly: "How is the research on the mother box going?"

In the center of the room, the mother box is among various precision instruments. Countless tiny particles on the surface are constantly swimming and emitting a magnificent and terrifying light.

"The situation is very bad." Dr. Stone was the first to say: "Everything we thought about the mother box was problematic."

"How to say?"

Dr. Stone took out a remote control and pressed it. A gap opened in the steel wall next to it, revealing a terrifying monster soaked in nutrient solution.

Or the corpse of a terrifying monster. The monster's body was full of signs of strangulation, and there were scorch marks from laser weapons piercing it.

"We are trying to merge a living creature with the technology of the Mother Box, as you said, to create a half-mechanical, half-biological weapon."

Dr. Stone pushed up his glasses. In the field of mother boxes, he had been studying it for a long time before Lucius, and he was a true expert.

"However, the experiment completely failed. The Mother Box would only madly devour every creature under its control. This thing did not understand the meaning of creation at all." He said: "Those creatures were all surrendered to the control of the Mother Box's will. They have turned into monsters that only know how to kill, and some even exhibit demon-like characteristics."

"When we first created him, the monster had a terrible riot. If Lucius hadn't arranged for Poison Ivy to be present in advance," Dr. Stone glanced at the broken monster with some fear: "Maybe we There’s going to be another experimental accident.”

"Frankly speaking, the idea of ​​trying to create a cyborg with Apokolips technology is almost impossible to realize." Lucius added next to him:

"We have tried many times, modified the parameters countless times, and built many machines as you said to be eaten by the newly born cyborg, but no matter what kind of animal we use, we still use clones... "

Lucius scratched his head first: "Well, even though those clones don't have any consciousness, this still challenges the lower limit of morality."

"But even with so many methods, we all failed in the end anyway."

"Even normal humans with will cannot succeed." Dr. Stone said: "Human consciousness has limits, and they cannot compete with the control of the Mother Box."

"so……"

"so?"

Chen Tao carefully savored the answers given by the two scientists, but still refused to give up: "If we use a real..."

"Such an idea is neither responsible nor scientific."

But as expected, he aroused unanimous opposition from both of them.

"Alright alright."

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 whether he relied on Batleniac's ability to crush the Mother Box, or whether the Mother Box used the mind of Apokolips to erode him.

After all, it was still too dangerous to get to that point.

Chen Tao clenched his fists and then slowly released them.

But then again...

The mother box is completely unable to be integrated with living things?How was Cyborg born?
Is the existence of every superhero really an unreplicable miracle?
and many more……

"Have you used all the machines in the laboratory when the demonoid attacked that day?" Chen Tao touched his chin and asked, "Nothing left behind, just the layout for that day?"

The two scientists looked at each other, then nodded together.

"Yes, but that doesn't change the result of the experiment's failure."

Chen Tao quickly browsed through their experiment logs, and then looked at them, but suddenly he felt like he was overthinking them.He paused and then said:

"Is there a possibility..."

Is there a possibility that without his intervention that day, even if Victor Stone, the future Cyborg, really tried to fuse with the Mother Box like in the comics, he might not have succeeded. ?

Would his fusion with the Mother Boxes only create a horrific monster instead of the future superhero Cyborg?

This conjecture may seem nonsense, but the experimental data showing that the mother box is completely unable to integrate with living things seems to be very true.

Damn it, what kind of dark universe am I living in?

But he quickly put such negative emotions back into his heart, then calmed down and temporarily changed the topic: "Okay, you two, we have other work to do next."

"I need your help with a question about Gorilla Grodd and Turtle Man," he said.

"Do you know them well enough now?"

"Okay." Dr. Stone said, "But I'm afraid it will be a while, tomorrow. I made an appointment with my son Victor Stone today to watch his basketball game."

Chen Tao stared at him.

He's dying, and Cyborg's dad came to watch his football game?

"Is it a football game?" said Lucius next to him.

"No, no, it's a basketball game." Dr. Stone answered him: "My son Victor Stone is now not only a football player, but also a basketball player."

His face was filled with a proud look that only belongs to a father: "Today our whole family will go watch his basketball debut."

"Victory! Victory!" As he said this, the father actually started dancing, imitating Victor Stone's most famous slogan on the football field.

"So I can't be late." Dr. Stone gestured for a while, and then said: "I promised my son that I would definitely visit him. In order to take care of my schedule, he even blocked the time of the game and postponed his promotion. Speed, just so I can be out there and compete in his games.”

"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."

"But..." Chen Tao frowned. He is busy with all kinds of messy things every day. He doesn't want Dr. Stone, an expert on mother box research, to get off work at that time...

I haven't even gotten off work, how can you get off work?

A bat that has been busy lately roared in his heart.

However, before Chen Tao could say anything, Dr. Stone had already started to pack up the things on the table resolutely: "Next time, don't come to me when you are about to get off work, Batman, oh, anyway, I'm sorry, but it's important Let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

He cleared up all the things in three strokes, then raised his feet and disappeared in an instant.

"See you tomorrow!"

Snapped!
Batman slapped him on the forehead.

Lucius looked at him cautiously.

"Ah, don't be angry, Batman."

He carefully considered his words: "I know you are under a lot of pressure, but Silas has vowed never to let his son down again since he almost lost his son last time."

"He was determined to be a good father," he said.

Seeing that Batman was silent, he couldn't help but start to worry about Silas Stone.

After all, Dr. Stone is the person sent to Batman by the government, and the other party will not trust Dr. Stone as much as he trusts him.He did not want to create a barrier between the other party and Dr. Stone.

But in the end, he took a deep breath when he saw the other party:

"never mind."

Chen Tao said: "Please accompany me to train my new abilities."
