What bad intentions could Batman have?.

"Then...that darkness is actually countless shadow demons."

At the Pentagon, Amanda Waller stood up suddenly and stared at the screen.

She has experienced wars, superhuman wars, countless crises that threaten human security, and there are even many terrible things that even Batman doesn't know about. She has experienced things that are enough to scare the bravest souls.

Yet even she quailed before the dark, cold face of death itself, and what she saw in those burning eyes... was the end of it all.

On the street, countless pedestrians screamed and fled. The soldiers raised their guns and shot at the Shadow Demon, but in vain.

Gotham.

Chen Tao flew in the dark red sky, his eyes shooting out red heat vision, like a sharp sword piercing the darkness.

"Damn it."

While flying, he gave orders to Hal and Arlene Sue, the current actual controllers of the Green Lantern Corps: "Take your people and put up the protective shield!"

The appearance of the Shadow Demon cast a shadow over Chen Tao's heart...

The fact is: Even though Night Owl proactively revealed a lot of information about the Counter-Monitor to him, Chen Tao still knew very little about the Counter-Monitor.

In the comics he read in his previous life, the powers of the anti-monitors in different major events in different periods were very different.

There is the Great Demon of Destruction who almost destroyed the entire DC universe during "Crisis on Infinite Earths", there is also the period of weakness when half of the body was broken by Superboy Prime during "Sinestro Corps War", and there is even the period of "Flashpoint" in the New 52. "After that, due to the restart of the timeline, he directly lost his supreme position as a god and became a mortal named Mobius who was just enslaved by the [Anti-Life Equation].

Even during the "Darkseid War", he was reduced to a 50-50 fight with Darkseid, and it took a lot of effort to defeat him.

According to the intelligence provided by Night Owl, the appearance of the Anti-Monitor he is facing now is exactly that of the mortal Mobius from the "Darkseid War" period. He can be said to be the weakest Anti-Monitor. version of.

But the current scale of Shadow Demon was obviously created by the strongest version of the Anti-Monitor during the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" period.

Damn Night Owl, you didn't even collect such important information? !

Star City.

Green Arrow flees from Shadow Demon's attack.

Despite the protection of the green barrier in the sky, the dense shadow demons outside the barrier still make people shudder.

He rolled and jumped across the gaps between tall buildings.

Some shadow demons entered the city before the shield was raised, and he was now exhausted.

He jumped down from the tall building, and the rope arrows he shot drove his body flying in the air.

He turned sideways and shot a shadow demon with an energy explosion arrow.

He fell to the ground.

But then more Shadow Demons attacked Green Arrow, and he was once again forced to run away, but when he once again flew in the air and looked back, he saw with eyes splitting his eyes the streets were being slaughtered by Shadow Demons. The mother who protects her child in her arms...

He rushed forward regardless of his safety, but in the next second he was overwhelmed by more shadow demons. The rope broke and he lost his footing. At that moment, a green lantern ring flew into his hand...

Los Angeles.

In the city protected by the yellow barrier, Black Bolt burst out a large stream of electricity, turning countless eroded shadow demons into fly ash. He was panting, but looked up, only to see more shadow demons spreading like locusts from the other side of the joint.

Atlantis.

In prison.

Lord Orm lowered his head and grasped the bars of the cage with both hands.

"tell me."

He asked the Atlantean guards outside.

"What happened outside?"

He heard a loud rumble under the water, the roar of the Atlantean cannon.

"Atlantis has been invaded."

"By land people?"

"The common enemy of both land and Atlanteans, the Anti-Monitor."

Crunch, creak, creak, creak —

Under the superhuman strength of Lord Orm, even the Atlantean cage specially made for him could not stop him from pulling with all his strength.

"Take me to fight."

he told the guard.

"You...you are no longer the King of Atlantis."

"But I'm still a warrior!"

The whole world is like this, shadow demons are everywhere.

Earth's handful of heroes unite, their mighty power pales only in comparison to their boundless courage.

Deep in the universe, the owl spaceship.

"You see, Dick. If Batman would have gone along with my plan, this wouldn't have happened."

Night Owl and Nightwing Dick Grayson sat together. There was a small plate of snacks and drinks on the table in front of them, but Nightwing noticed that the other person had not eaten at all. This shows that Ye Xiao is wary and always only uses the Ye Xiao robot controlled by him remotely to communicate with him.

Night Owl was still talking: "If Batman is willing to accept my plan, the Anti-Monitor's shadow demon army will be defeated in front of the 80 billion orc army that has completely transformed into beasts. This will definitely greatly weaken the Anti-Monitor." ”

He noticed that when Dick looked at the tragic scenes of the shadow demons raging on the screen, the corners of Dick's mouth slightly raised.

In fact, the army of shadow demons has not yet been able to break through the protective shields put up by the Yellow and Green Lantern Corps in major cities on a large scale, but even if the protective shields have not been put up, a small number of shadow demons who entered the city can already make those heroes drink. The pot is ready.

Night Owl just intercepted some images of the area invaded by Shadow Demon and showed them to Nightwing Dick Grayson. He didn't know what he wanted to prove. Maybe he just wanted to prove to Dick that Batman had led him astray.

"Your plan will turn 80 billion people into beasts. Even if we leave aside the casualties that may occur if they kill each other, I will only say one thing: this transformation is most likely irreversible. You have never thought about it at all. Restore them to normal people. They are consumables and resources to you, but they are not human beings.”

"They are warriors fighting for their own survival." Ye Xiao said: "Their transformation can increase the probability of victory in this world."

Nightwing was silent, and then he said word for word: "Letting untrained civilians go to the battlefield is not what a hero should do."

"If the world is going to be destroyed, then there is no point in worrying about these things." Ye Xiao said: "When a world must struggle to survive, considering moral principles is undoubtedly a kind of slow suicide."

"There must be other ways." Nightwing said.

"There is no other way." Ye Xiao said: "Either use the red beast of all living beings to transform everyone, and then let them fight with the shadow demon, at the cost of becoming bloodthirsty beasts, or let them remain helpless beasts. The powerful people, and then sit back and watch everyone being slaughtered by the shadow demon. "

He said to Nightwing: "Tell me, how do you choose?"

"Batman must have other plans." Nightwing said: "He will save everyone, and no one will die today."
