What bad intentions could Batman have?.

Fiji is the first place in the world to see the sunrise.

Mount Tomaniwi, which is 1324 meters above sea level, is located here. This is also the highest mountain in Fiji. It is an extinct volcano. Under the mountain, you can see Fiji's rural scenery and large sugar cane fields.

And inside the Tomanive volcano, in the huge cave...

A burst of violently flashing space ripples carved a smooth curved surface into the stone wall.

A blue light illuminated the pitch-black cave, which was created due to volcanic eruptions and is located hundreds of kilometers deep beneath the mountains. It should have been a place where no human being could stand.

hum!

A buzzing sound that made people feel goosebumps sounded, and then it became quiet.

hum!

A small blue space portal lit up, then quickly extinguished it, and then quickly lit up again. A man's angry voice came from behind the portal:

"Damn it, Golden Pioneer, I told you, you must not... That will cause the timeline to shatter and cause reality to collapse..."

"Damn it, Richard, do you think I want to? If I really could..."

"Shut up! Stop talking nonsense, I beg you. Quickly erase all influences..."

"Why don't you come and try it!"

"Damn you, Golden Vanguard, you bastard!"

"...This is beyond my ability!"

"...Shut up! Focus on your work..."

As the two voices cursed each other, the little blue portal that lit up again soon disappeared into the air again, as if it had never existed.

……

"I know you have your own ideas, Lex."

Chen Tao was lying on his side on a deck chair high up on the yacht, with the huge parasol above his head casting a shadow on his face.

"I'm not opposed to any of this in principle, but you're well aware that we need a backup plan."

He stretched out his index finger and tapped the armrest of the lounge chair. His gaze extended from the colorful coral reefs in the sparkling blue sea below the yacht to the silver light shining when countless fish leaped into the distance, quietly. Standing quietly on the extinct volcano there.

"I need you to help me figure out whether Night Owl has the ability to transfer people all over the earth...and if he can't, has he tried hard enough..."

If an ordinary person heard this, he might just think that Batman was asking him to help him collect intelligence, but Luther on the other end of the communication was immediately keenly aware of Batman's real thoughts hidden behind these intelligence collections, and Bat Xia didn't seem to intend to hide it from Luthor.

"Are you considering Night Owl's plan?"

"Why not?" Chen Tao said: "The so-called plan is not set in stone. If Night Owl can really take away people from the entire earth... Have you seen the Night Owl plan I shared with you? ?"

Luther heard Batman say: "I have to say that Night Owl has gone through a long period of planning, verification and preparation. As long as he can really increase the speed of his universe before the Anti-Monitor reacts, he will be able to survive in the Dark Multiverse." Build a high-speed escape track to..."

He briefly repeated the principles of Night Owl's plan to Luther, and then continued:

"If he can really take away everyone on the earth and save them, this might not be a good backup plan, and he can definitely be listed as a backup.

And what’s more important, you know? The success rate of this plan is extremely high. If my plan has a success rate of only 20%, your plan has a success rate of only 30%, and Night Owl's plan has a success rate of at least 70%. "

Batman didn't say a word about what would happen to him, and Luthor's heart sank when he heard it.

"Even if Night Owl's plan succeeds and he migrates all living humans on the entire earth to his universe, those people will only be slaves to Night Owl in the future."

Luther said: "Night Owl's first plan was basically to use the Blood Master to irreversibly transform all people into beasts. He has no mercy for ordinary people. As long as there is a goal that he thinks is noble enough, He uses ordinary people as consumables without blinking an eye.

Although there is nothing comparable in terms of doing bad things, I still have to say that compared with him, I almost become a saint. "

"If you are gone, who else do you think can control Night Owl? Batman?

You have crippled the Justice League, as I once said, a sickly blue boy scout, an ignorant Amazon female madman who only knows how to kill people with a sword, a minor child who masters magic, and has an unsound mind. Ring Bearer, and a widowed middle-aged woman, do you think they can arm-wrestle with someone like Night Owl?

Especially Night Owl and hundreds of millions of people who have been trained into dogs by him. Superman will not even kill people. Let me tell you what will happen, he will be beaten to death by Night Owl.

Night Owl only needs to send 300 civilians loyal to him to defeat your Justice League. Those with super powers may be able to fight against a monster over 300 feet, but facing 300 civilians, they will become handicaps. A child who has no strength to restrain a chicken. "

Luthor said a string, but he only heard Batman's low chuckle:

"It's okay, and you, Lex, I believe in your intelligence."

Luther took a deep breath, he wasn't sure whether he was angry or some other emotion.

He forced down the sentence "and you" that echoed repeatedly in his mind, and then continued to say in a deep voice:

"Do you want to kill yourself?"

"Is it the desire for self-sacrifice? Or damn, are there any misanthropic feelings? Can noble self-sacrifice make you orgasm? Make you feel moved and feel like you are a great person?"

He mocked: "Even a third-rate author who writes popular novels will not write a plot in which the protagonist dies, especially if he is stupid enough to commit suicide. If he did, we would generally call it an illness."

"No, no, what are you thinking about? Of course not." Chen Tao quickly shook his head and denied: "I told you, it's just a backup plan. We should be prepared no matter what time."

He told Luthor: "So that's why I need you to confirm that. I want to find out whether Night Owl can really do it or whether he is just lying."

"Okay." Luther agreed immediately.

Then he paused: "There is no point in sacrificing other people's victory. Batman, this is what you told me. You will never sacrifice people in the world to maintain your victory, but... what if it is you?"

"Don't be stupid," he said.

"...Come on, you misunderstood." Chen Tao was speechless. He was just simply preparing the follow-up plan.

"I'm not stupid. I won't follow Night Owl's plan completely. As long as I can trap the Anti-Monitor, the mission will be accomplished. I will naturally prepare for my escape. You don't have to worry about that."

He said this, and then told Luther: "And if your or my plan can succeed, then there will be no need for me to do such a dangerous thing as facing the Anti-Monitor directly, right?"

He waved his hand: "Okay, no more nonsense, let's go confirm."

"Night Owl will not be stupid enough to tell me directly, let alone trust me enough to tell the truth." Luther said: "So the result I give you can only be a judgment based on the information I have."

"Yes, I know very well, and I only make decisions based on your judgment. But first you have to get me information and submit your own analysis to me."

"Ah."

"Ah."

Chen Tao hung up the communication and looked at the sparkling sea ahead.

Soon, Night Owl will plunge the whole world into a state of mad two-headed beasts. The heads of those beasts will be directly controlled by Chen Tao through the starfish clones of Starro, the Conqueror of the Universe, without damaging his original personality. Next, temporarily strengthen the bodies of all people.

After everything is over, Chen Tao can also use this kind of control to completely destroy those beast personalities and take back the red power of living beings that has been merged into ordinary people, so that they can transform from extraordinary creatures back to ordinary people.

As for those beastly personalities...

It can only be said that these puppet personalities he created were not human beings at the beginning, and Chen Tao had no moral burden on them at all.

What he did to the ventriloquists back then was far more serious than this, not to mention that those crazy lycanthropic personalities basically had no strict logic, but were just identical products produced purely around the stamp of thought. Just like cloned organs.

And after all, this is the best way now, isn't it?

"Master Bruce."

Chen Tao turned his head and saw Alfred standing behind him.

Although they were already in Fiji, the old housekeeper didn't look very happy. With a worried and contradictory attitude, he brought Chen Tao a new plaid shirt and a macadamia nut drink.

"Hmm...very good." Chen Tao took the drink and took a sip.

"...Master Bruce, I suggest you go to the beach now... We have prepared a party, and there will be many local tourists and people..."

Alfred chattered beside him for a while, and then concluded:

"I want you to join this party, Master Bruce, like a normal person."

"No, not for now. But I will come to participate soon."

Batman shook his head: "Now I plan to sleep for a while, just for a while."

He was really tired.

Chen Tao no longer needed to sleep. The magic of the Metal Spirit turned him into a living incarnation of metal, and a piece of living metal does not need to sleep at all. This is one of the reasons why it can keep running non-stop all year round without resting.

But he just wants to have a good sleep today. Ye Xiao can do a lot of things he asked him to do, and then like the top logistics department minister, he can help him arrange things that require his intervention, so He finally had a chance to sleep, sleeping like a lion in his cave.

He could sleep, and when he closed his eyes, he could forget everything, fall into a drowsy state, and completely forget all his troubles.

Then when he wakes up, he goes to the party again and experiences something he has never experienced since he came to this world. Well, it's all very good, very good...

He thought as he put on his sunglasses and closed his eyes.

Ok……

One thing is true.

Luther was right...about death.

He was prepared, and Chen Tao was sure that he was prepared.

If it was really necessary to implement Night Owl's plan, Chen Tao knew that this was a sign of weakness and that he had no way to pursue the best of both worlds, so he chose to sacrifice one person's life.

What if that person is ready to take the risk?

What if that person is determined to survive? He could use a little softness, right? Maybe he can try other people's plans, he can slightly violate his principle of not wanting to sacrifice anyone——

Sacrificing your own safety doesn't count as a sacrifice, does it?

This is indeed a kind of weakness. If it were in the past, Chen Tao would not even consider such a plan. He never doubted that he could have it all, and he never doubted that he could get a perfect ending with his intelligence.

But this time is different, different from the past. As Night Owl says: "The Anti-Monitor is an enemy you've never faced before."

So even if you are a little weak, you can still...

boom!

Chen Tao just thought that, and then suddenly there was a loud noise, which made him jump from his chair. Then he raised his head in shock and saw the volcano not far away suddenly exploded.

boom! ! ! ! !

The hot magma made a loud roaring sound without warning, and then erupted directly from the crater and rushed into the sky.

Chen Tao:? ? ? ? ?

He was stunned and took off his glasses and leaned on the edge of the yacht. He once suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes.

This is an extinct volcano, not an active volcano. How can it still erupt? !

Where does magma come from? Out of thin air?

What about the rules of physics? What about geographical knowledge? Damn it doesn’t exist anymore?

Chen Tao was dumbfounded. He subconsciously planned to open the communication and call the Flash, and then realized that he was the only one with the Speed ​​Force now.

"Damn it, Batman calls the Justice League." He pressed the headset made of nanobots next to his ear: "I need help."

Chen Tao almost doubted himself... Am I a disaster star or something?

Not far away, a large amount of volcanic ash was swaying downwards. Without Chen Tao's help, it is conceivable that Fiji would soon look exactly like Pompeii. Chen Tao soon ran out of time to talk nonsense and think.

Forget it, save people first.

Wait, does this count as overtime?

Damn it, my vacation!
