Chapter 1907: U: Beyond the Great Event (33)

Ruling the Earth by force versus ruling the Earth by economy—which one is more evil?

Lord Superman and his team only use violent means to combat criminals. Although it doesn't align with the judicial procedures of a civilized society and there are indeed accidental injuries and killings, generally speaking, the public security on Earth right now is incredibly good.

But ruling the Earth like a profiteer—Lord Superman looks down at the metal piece in his hand again. He thinks, with Batman's technology, he could completely turn this thing into a weapon.

If he only pursues money, then everyone would have to buy the things he produces, because if they don't, they would be defeated or eliminated by others. He would become the most terrifying arms dealer in the world.

Just as Lord Superman thinks of this, he hears Bruce over there talking at length to Arthur about his plan.

"With the scale of Wayne Enterprises, plus my management level, if nothing goes wrong, I can definitely concentrate the vast majority of the global economy on myself within 30 years..."

"Don't talk about any anti-monopoly laws; they are ineffective against me. Every one of my products can be epoch-making..."

"Of course, you might ask me what I'm doing earning so much money. The answer is that I'm preparing to become the 'Final Owner.' Do you know what a 'Final Owner' is?"

"Simply put, it means global wealth is concentrated in one person. The entire Earth's resources, land, water sources, and even the air are my property. Only I have the power to use them, and only I can decide how to distribute them."

"Then I can transform the entire Earth according to the methods I want, arranging everyone's housing, food, and lifestyle..."

Lord Superman truly feels a bit helpless. He hasn't missed the Batman of his own universe this much in a long time.

This is a hundred times more terrifying than he imagined.

Actually, Bruce is just stating the initial plan that Schiller proposed to him. Of course, both of them tacitly assume this plan is carried out under the premise that Batman has the ability to obtain completely sufficient resources.

Simply put, it is a plan to establish a controllable society within a communist society with extremely abundant resources, which can also be called "raising all of humanity in luxury."

Of course, so far, this is still just an empty shell of a plan, because Batman is still in the stage of absorbing knowledge to enrich himself, so this is just a "pie in the sky" without any details filled in.

But his way of narrating makes it sound as if he is going to monopolize all the Earth's resources and then wantonly enslave humanity.

Lord Superman truly starts to have a headache.

And Arthur is especially supportive, clapping his hands and saying, "A highly creative comedy subject. If I could really perform this on stage, this topic would make me an overnight sensation."

"I'll make your merchandise sell for 100 dollars!"

Bruce reaches out and high-fives him. The two of them shrug their shoulders and giggle, looking just like two happy Samoyeds, while Lord Superman is as serious as a Husky that just tore up the house.

Spider-Man can't get a word in during this series of discussions, but he suddenly notices a change in the situation on the screen and points at the screen, shouting, "My God, the two of them are fighting!"

Everyone turns to look, only to find that in the time they were chatting, the situation on the field has changed drastically.

First, the group of people in the cage woke up, or perhaps it was the Gem Man who deliberately woke them up. Anyway, the moment they woke up, they started screeching again.

And another strange sight is that Schiller and Bat-Bane are fighting.

It's simple to say: after hearing that roar from Seeing Natasha, the two Batmen instinctively ran in two different directions, while Seeing Natasha ran in a third direction.

The directions the three were running didn't overlap, so Schiller could only choose one path, and he chose to chase Bat-Bane.

Bat-Bane was running for his life at first, but as he ran, he thought, why am I running?

Now everyone is in a state of reduced physical ability, and after so many years of combat training, can I really not beat a crazy surgeon?

Facts prove he really can't.

This isn't a matter of combat technique, and there isn't a huge difference in their weight classes, but Schiller's strength is immense, reaching a completely unscientific level.

Bat-Bane, pinned to the ground, catches a glimpse of Schiller's reddened back of the hand and realizes almost immediately that this might be an excited attack state caused by a mental patient's episode.

He instinctively reaches for the medicine at his waist and, with quick eyes and fast hands, jabs a needle into Schiller's neck.

However, giving a mental patient a sedative is a therapeutic act, and in this game, the effect of therapeutic medicine is greatly weakened. Bat-Bane jabs him twice, but Schiller has no reaction.

Bat-Bane has to take advantage of the moment Schiller covers his neck to break free from his grip, staggers to his feet, retreats a few steps, turns around, and runs.

"What the hell is wrong with him?!" Bat-Bane asks Seeing Natasha beside him while running.

"He's crazy!"

"I'm not blind! I'm asking for the reason!"

"What is there to ask about?!" Seeing Natasha roars impatiently. "Can't you just treat him as a freak with infinite strength?! Is now the time to ask questions?!"

Bat-Bane takes a deep breath. If medicinal means can't be used, then only physical means can be adopted, but infinite strength is indeed a big trouble.

Suddenly, Bat-Bane looks up at the top of the cage's iron chains.

The Gem Man seems to have truly done something to the people in the cage, because after the dark clouds covering the end of the iron chains disperse, what is revealed is a giant hand belonging to the Gem Man.

It has always been the Gem Man holding the cage with his hand.

Bat-Bane's gaze lingers on the cage's iron chains for less than a second before he turns and sprints toward the cage, with Schiller in hot pursuit behind him.

Bat-Bane places both hands on the edge of the cage, exerts force, swings one leg up, and immediately climbs onto the bars.

The people who woke up look at him blankly, while Bat-Bane glances back at Schiller standing at the bottom of the cage and climbs toward the top of the cage without stopping.

Schiller follows closely and boards the cage. The man in the suit, whose arm was almost pulled off by him earlier, lets out a scream that doesn't sound human.

Just as Schiller grabs the bars firmly with both hands, wanting to continue climbing up, the man in the suit scrambles to the side of the cage, snatches the little boy from the woman's arms, and throws him at Schiller, clearly wanting to attract Schiller's attention through a sacrifice.

Schiller doesn't even look at him, but his eyes meet the little boy's for a split second, and he sees that those dark eyes are filled with fear.

Batman and Seeing Natasha also chase to the bottom of the cage. Batman looks with surprise at Schiller, who has already climbed to the top of the cage. He stops Seeing Natasha, who is also about to climb up, and says, "The situation isn't right. Schiller's heartbeat is faster."

By this time, Bat-Bane has climbed onto the iron chain, using a short burst of explosive power to climb up more than two meters, and Schiller follows closely, jumping up and climbing up right behind Bat-Bane.

And Batman's gaze lingers on the little boy.

The two are like participants in a pole-climbing competition, climbing rapidly along the iron chain.

The Gem Man is stunned again by this sudden turn of events. He wants to pull his hand back, but he remembers that the people in the cage are ordinary people. Now, if he pulls his hand back, the impact force generated would definitely be enough to shake them into meat paste.

So he can only watch helplessly as Bat-Bane and Schiller climb onto the back of his hand one after the other along the iron chain.

The two sedative injections Bat-Bane gave Schiller finally have some effect. Schiller's figure sways, almost falling off. Bat-Bane seizes the opportunity, rushes up, and throws a punch.

Schiller is knocked to the ground, but he quickly climbs back up and returns the favor with a strike. The two trade blows, and soon they are both covered in blood on their heads and faces.

"Stop! Both of you stop!" the Gem Man shouts in vain, but it seems there is some rule that prevents him from directly acting against the people in the arena.

The two above are fighting fiercely, and Batman and Seeing Natasha below are not idle either. Batman climbs to the side of the cage, reaches out, and scoops up the little boy who was just thrown over by the man in the suit.

He simply measures the width of the little boy's skull and the gap between the bars, finding that this boy should be able to squeeze out. So he supports the boy's back with his hand and says to him, "Don't be afraid. First, stick your head out, and I'll take you away from here."

The little boy looks at him blankly but instinctively follows instructions. Unfortunately, he fell when he was thrown over earlier, and his back seems to be bruised. As soon as he turns over, he lets out a cry of pain.

"Wait! Get us out too!" the hippie girl shouts.

"You can't get out." Batman says very calmly, "Only children can squeeze through the gaps, but I will save you."

The man in the suit has already pounced over. He grabs the little boy's leg and shouts, "If you save him, you won't care about us! You can't let him out!"

"Don't do this." The female teacher rushes over, wanting to push the man in the suit away. She says, "Save one if you can. He's just a child."

"Just because he's a child, he must stay! Because only then will these people save us! Otherwise, the child will die too! Isn't our life a life too?!"

"Uh oh." The Gem Man's gloating voice comes through. He says, "Looks like everything is back on track. The good show is about to begin."

As soon as he finishes speaking, Seeing Natasha "whooshes" up from the other side of the cage, grabs the bars, and swings violently.

The people in the iron cage are knocked over again. More importantly, the man in the suit is knocked to Seeing Natasha's side. Seeing Natasha pulls him over by his leg through the gap, reaches her arm into the cage, grabs the man in the suit by his hair, and then strangles his neck through the cage.

"Open his briefcase!" Seeing Natasha roars.

"No! No!" The man in the suit kicks his legs and screams, but he can't break free from Seeing Natasha's grip at all.

The female teacher wipes the blood from her forehead, crawls over, grabs the man in the suit's briefcase, and pulls hard. After getting it, she opens the zipper with trembling hands.

Inside falls a knife and a blood-stained women's shirt.

"On the way to dump a body? Hmm?" Seeing Natasha says coldly. "The first time I saw you, I knew you were a murderer, and a habitual offender who specializes in killing prostitutes."

"Of course, even if you weren't, it wouldn't matter. I'm not a superhero."

After finishing, she directly strangles the man in the suit's mandible with her elbow and pulls hard backward. The screams emitted by the man in the suit are deafening.

"Crack, crack, crack!"

The man in the suit had his head crushed and split open by two railings.

Brain matter sprays all over Seeing Natasha. She pants, lets go, and says in an eerie tone, "Now you know whether you can get out, right?"

The whole arena is as dead silent as if no one were there.

And Batman keenly notices that when Seeing Natasha points out the man in the suit's identity as a murderer, a trace of panic also appears on the face of the female teacher who is holding the murder weapon.

Are all the people here murderers?

No, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

In an instant, Batman understands the truth of this puzzle. ===== CHAPTER 1908 =====
