What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 342: Is it possible that there will be a second Justice League?

"... Your respective goals, you have the right to leave and achieve them, but... I suggest that we work together so that we can help each other."

the Alps.

In an old castle.

You see...my name is Maxwell Loud.

I was born into a wealthy family. My father, Albert Lauder, was a good man, a good husband, and an even better father to his son. He was in charge of the commercial operations of a large pharmaceutical company, and he invented a weight-loss drug that was very effective.

The diet pill made him rich, yet when I was a teenager, my father discovered that the diet pill caused cancer.

He was actually stupid enough to announce the fact that this drug caused cancer, then apologized for it, then lost all his money, and finally committed cowardly suicide.

At my father's funeral, my mother told me that my father was too weak and too compassionate. If it had been her, she would have covered it up instead of admitting it or even committing suicide because of it.

She told me that I must do whatever it takes to disenfranchise those I deem unworthy of everything...until they have nothing left.

This sentence has become my life credo.

When I graduated from college, I joined a global peacekeeping organization, the government-owned Shogi Kai. Because of my outstanding performance, I quickly became the No. 2 person in the organization.

But this is not enough. My purpose in joining the Shogi Club was not to become the number 2 person in it.

So when the shogi club's headquarters was attacked by cultists, their actual leader of the shogi club surrounded me.

That's a desperate situation, right? Isolated and helpless, surrounded by enemies...

But this is a ladder for me to climb.

I have always consciously hidden my superpowers. As I grow older, my mind control abilities continue to increase, but I almost never disclose the fact that I have superpowers to anyone.

So at that moment, I controlled my boss to hold the grenade and die together with the cultists.

I naturally became one of the co-leaders of the Shogi Club, but I didn't want to be a "co-leader." So other leaders were either fired or died on the spot due to various incidents, and finally I became the only leader.

Everything is perfect, right? Shortly after I mastered Shogi Kai, Brainiac invaded Earth. I was drafted by the government immediately.

I would have been given the authority to form a global organization of superhumans and humans to deal with such crises. However, this promise eventually became a reality in the mirror, when Batman. He stood up and solved the crisis on his own, and the government also established the Sky Eye Society led by Colonel Amanda Waller and Steve Trev afterwards, and established contact with Batman.

As for my shogi club? I was abandoned. Batman cut off the ladder I climbed. He formed the Justice League after the incident, and this global superhero league organization should be following my lead. I should be the one who masters global superpowers and saves the earth!

But I soon realized two important reasons why I was abandoned:

One, I am not strong enough.

Two, I don’t have the ability to master the entire Justice League like Batman does. I can't control them, but Batman can arrange them like chess pieces.

This is a problem that must be solved.

As long as I control the Justice League, I can completely control them to transform the earth into what I want, and I can use the power of the entire League to practice complete justice on the entire planet.

No one can commit a crime, and no one will commit a crime. All wars will end completely in vain, because all weapons will be destroyed by me. There will be no more famine, no more pain.

I will create...a new era.

"You may be able to save the world Maxwell Lord, but why should we do this?"

Johnny Solo's head is a mask, and his eyes flicker slightly, showing a look of struggle: "Since the King of Tears gave me a new life, I have gained contact with the energy of multiple dimensions, and here It was also diverse..."

"Johnny Solo is right, Ekron's Emerald Eye can feel that time is missing... I must find the Legion." The Emerald Queen said.

She stroked the huge eyes suspended in mid-air, her eyes filled with worry.

(Note: The Emerald Queen here is referring to the Legion of Super Heroes in the 30th century. However, because Doctor Manhattan stole ten years of DC and caused the Flashpoint event, which restarted the timeline, this Legion and the Legion were A large number of heroes, such as Saturn Girl and Brainiac 5, were erased from history. However, the Emerald Queen retained part of the memory before the restart)

Maxwell Lauder said:

"Oh, Emerald Queen, I promise you that I can help you search. I have some information."

He looked sincere, and the Emerald Queen met his eyes.

After a while, she nodded vaguely: "Yes, you are right."

"Then it's time for you to answer me, Pony..." Storm Wolf asked, "How can we know that you didn't use that crappy mind control trick on us?"

"I don't dare to do this to you, Tyrannosaurus." Maxwell Lord looked at Tyrannosaurus, and then activated his mind control ability to deal fierce damage to Tyrannosaurus.

As he started, he said: "Everyone knows that you will kill anyone who wants to attack your brain."

As Lauder spoke, he secretly wiped away the blood that was about to flow out of his nose. This is the price for activating his ability.

The violent wolf was also slightly dazed, and then quickly became happy: "You're damn right, if you dare to do this to the only macho man, I will kill you bastard bitch!"

"We have walked this old road before, Laud. Is there anything different about you?" Rostam, the assassin holding a flaming blade, asked.

"We have one thing in common, Rostam, hatred." Maxwell Lord said: "If you help me achieve my goal, you will get additional benefits when you take revenge on the most hated person, Amanda Waller."

"Maxwell is right." Dr. Polaris was also in a trance, and then he said angrily with some abnormality: "Amanda Waller needs to pay for everything we have done!"

"I'm glad you have the same opinion as me, Dr. Polaris." Lauder said: "Your control of metals is of great help to our cause."

"Okay," said Johnny Solo, whose head was a mask.

"Let's assume that we have agreed to your conditions, but what are your plans for us?"

"There's one more thing that needs to be done before we do anything to Amanda Waller."

Maxwell Lord turned his head and looked at everyone controlled by him.

He said:

"Where we are going is extremely dangerous, but I know you are very experienced in this matter."

"What about the heroes? Batman?" Dr. Polaris asked: "You are not so stupid as to think that an escaped Leopard Girl can delay Batman from having time to come back, are you?"

"of course not."

"I have other plans," said Maxwell Lauder.

He walked slowly: "For so many years, Batman has been replaced by different Robins, but you know, I got the news. I'm afraid this time Batman's new Robin and It was different in the past. That Robin was his son, his biological son. To be honest, I was a little surprised when I discovered this. Batman used to not have any weaknesses or weaknesses, but now he has them." "He has A child's love will interfere with his judgment, causing him to make wrong decisions or draw wrong conclusions. I can use this to trap Batman to death, at least so that he cannot interfere with us in a short period of time."

Maxwell Lord said: "As for the other members of the Justice League, I also prepared a gift package for each of them. By the time they have a chance to free their hands to stop us, it will be over."

"Don't say Batman himself is trapped. Even if he is not trapped, he cannot resist all of you at the same time - I have carefully studied Batman's ability composition. He uses some powerful powers that are obviously beyond the ordinary. It's time to need help from other Justice League members. I think it's some kind of energy drain."

Maxwell Lauder said: "It is worth noting that this method of energy extraction cannot be done out of thin air, but requires a variety of instruments. I can destroy these instruments in advance, and then Cut off the Justice League."

"And cutting off the Justice League is equivalent to cutting off half of Batman's power."

"Even if he solved the thing that trapped him by himself, he would not have time to solve the troubles that the entire Justice League encountered."

"Even taking a step back, it doesn't hurt to occasionally have two League members present. The device of the Justice League that transmits power to Batman has also been destroyed, and Batman simply does not have the ability to perform the hat tricks he is best at."

Maxwell Lord said: "Unless he has the ability to create a new Justice League."

……

……

……

"I always felt like something wasn't quite right."

Chen Tao said.

He was on the phone with Speedmaster at this time.

"My dearest ally, if something happens, you will help, right?"

"What are you doing again?"

There was a rattling sound on the other end of the phone. It was Speedmaster chewing his kryptonite.

The voice sounded exactly like a prairie dog.

"Our agreement does not include me helping you fight." Speedmaster said: "And things on my side are also very complicated. Your previous promises have not even been fulfilled. Johnny Quick and Death Storm are just being stupid now. Sit down, where is the plan you promised me to enhance them?"

"Lex Luthor is still preparing. Come on, buddy, you have to admit that the enhancement plan is not so easy to create. But I guarantee that their enhancement plan will quickly increase their strength, not like you You must slowly eat kryptonite to strengthen it.”

Chen Tao's words were well founded, and Speedmaster's attitude could not help but soften a bit: "But this is not enough. Our agreement does not..."

"I'd like to offer you more kryptonite."

He heard Batman say: "More raw materials for making kryptonite as a reward for your attack."

Speedmaster narrowed his eyes. The conditions offered by Batman were already very generous, but he still wanted to extract more.

"Still not enough."

Speedmaster said: "Even without you, I can collect raw materials by myself. You can't use what I can already get in exchange for the opportunity for me to take action."

Then he felt a moment of silence from Batman on the other side of the phone.

"Plus an opportunity to use the Speed ​​Force." Chen Tao said: "You also know the Speed ​​Force, right?"

"The power of Johnny Quick. He can use this power to transform himself from a weak loser into a scud. And you?"

"Haven't you ever thought that you also have the Speed ​​Force?"

"Think about it. It turns out that your speed is already fast enough, and you can resist magic and be invulnerable. It makes you faster, and the enemy can't even grab the hem of your clothes."

Chen Tao followed suit: "This is definitely a good choice."

……

……

……

In the corridor, Maxwell Lauder avoided the former members of the Suicide Squad he had recently recruited and quietly appeared in a certain room in the fortress.

As a silver-white portal opened, a beautiful woman walked out of the door. She was the super queen of the Crime Syndicate.

"What's the matter? My dear -" Maxwell Lord sat on the sofa without saying anything. Seeing this, the Super Queen twisted her waist and walked towards him.

As she walked, she lowered her head slightly: "Why are you looking so sad? Our deal has been reached."

She took out a small bottle of crimson blood from between her breasts: "No, here it is. The blood of Wonder Woman. Was the blood of Leopard Girl useful before? It's time for you to give me what I want. .”

Blood came out of Maxwell Lord's nose, which made the Super Queen's expression change.

"Don't even think about using your mind control ability on me. I'm a demigod and your mind control ability has no effect on me."

The scandal was discovered, but Maxwell Lauder showed no apology at all.

"You Amazons are trouble," he said. "Both you and your princess."

The Super Queen did not correct Mark Silverlawd's misunderstanding, and she certainly would not be stupid enough to tell him that she was not a member of Wonder Woman's tribe.

Their relationship was a transaction and nothing more.

So the Super Queen's voice became colder: "For the sake of the transaction, I won't care about your behavior, which is like a scorpion's instinct to sting people."

She said: "But you'd better finish that thing for me quickly, before Speedmaster finds out."

Lauder saw that the other party had already reached out to pinch the lasso around his waist. He immediately changed his tune:

"Of course, of course."

"I will definitely keep my promise."
