Chapter 2387: Battle of the Bats (Part 6)

"Uh, Batman?" Gwen Spider-Man tentatively shouted, but soon she discovered that this figure looked different from the photos of Batman shared on the Spider-APP forum.

The other party didn't speak, and the moment his footsteps stepped out, Gwen Spider-Man could only see a blur of red light flash past her, and then that strange red Batman appeared behind the time manipulator.

A flash of blue light flashed in the time manipulator's eyes. The red figure retreated to the central part, a flash of golden light suddenly appeared on his body, and then he moved forward again.

Two colors, blue and gold, collided in the air, and Gwen Spider-Man finally saw a trace of surprise on the time manipulator's face opposite.

With a swoosh, he appeared on a high building in the distance, and then appeared behind Gwen again, staring closely at the red Batman standing in place, and said in a low voice, "Who are you?"

"That's not important. Tell me what time is."

"Your speed transcends time." The time manipulator said, "If you don't know what time is, you couldn't have done this."

"Answer me! What exactly is time!!!"

Gwen Spider-Man stood between the two, a bit confused. She didn't know whether she should leave now, and didn't know whether the two would let her leave. Just when she was hesitating, she saw a reflection flash in the alley in the distance.

Then Miles poked his head out and waved at her. Gwen Spider-Man hesitated for a moment, then shot another web and jumped into the alley; no one stepped out to stop her.

As soon as Gwen Spider-Man landed, two Spider-Men popped out from behind, one was the Noir Spider-Man holding a gun, and the other was the Scarlet Spider-Man.

"Why did you all come over?"

As a result, another figure walked out from behind. Gwen Spider-Man turned her head, and it was Gwen. Gwen immediately made a shushing gesture, letting Gwen Spider-Man swallow her exclamation into her stomach.

"They said there is a super big machine here, and they need me to study it." Gwen said, "Just send me over."

Gwen Spider-Man immediately realized what Gwen was talking about. This was also the result of the Spider-Man team's investigation over the past few days.

Charles and other mutants were investigating the Spirit Flow Sect, the New Warriors team was investigating the Wildfire Gang, and Spider-Man was very interested in the mysterious X Alliance.

They always revolved around this alliance these past few days, and although they couldn't go deep, they also found an important clue.

Although the people in this alliance didn't seem to have any main goals, and didn't know who the boss was, they seemed to be collecting raw materials everywhere recently, with the purpose of manufacturing a machine.

What this machine was specifically, and what it was used for, no one knew, but Spider-Men were always very interested in machines. However, it was a pity that Spider-Men who hadn't passed the test were not allowed to enter the mental world, and the vast majority of Spider-Men couldn't pass the test.

Nick's requirement standard for this mission was very high. First, the mind must be mature, which excluded the vast majority of Spider-Men who hadn't finished college.

The personality couldn't be too good. This wasn't a place for joking around. It required decisiveness and firmness. The subtext was that those who didn't kill weren't allowed in. After all, it was a life-and-death situation. If a saintly heart flared up at a critical moment and couldn't make a killing blow, then the one who died would be oneself.

Most importantly, there were too many mental ability users in this mental world, so the emotions of the team members couldn't be too rich, which blocked 99% of Spider-Men.

However, it was possible to pick a few tall ones from the short ones. Gwen Spider-Man herself was a relatively depressed person, and her various abilities were also good, barely considered qualified. Noir Spider-Man and Scarlet Spider-Man were relatively suitable, while Miles was here for logistics. After all, there weren't many Spider-Men willing to do logistics.

They originally intended to strike at the root, but who knew that a time manipulator would kill them halfway. Gwen Spider-Man originally wanted to lure him away, but let alone lure him away, she operated for a long time there, and hadn't left the original position by half a meter.

The time manipulator's ability was also basically explored. It was that there was no weakness at all. His ability had no cooling time, that was, he could manipulate time unconditionally, directly rewinding the other party.

However, there was one characteristic, which was that after he reset the other party's time, the memory wouldn't be reset. Spider-Men thought this might be one of the breakthroughs, but they hadn't had time to study it carefully yet.

Spider-Men hid in the alley next to them, stretched their heads to look out, and soon began to discuss.

"Who is that guy who looks like Batman?" Miles asked first, "Could he be a Batman from some other universe? Does every universe have a different color Batman?"

"No, Peter said that the vast majority of them are pitch-black. This one is relatively bright. I think it might be a mutant of Batman." Gwen speculated while touching her chin.

"He can also control time." Noir Spider-Man's voice was very low, and he said, "The time manipulator said that this Batman has transcended time, but it seems that this Batman thinks the time manipulator is stronger, seemingly wanting to get something from him."

"Get what?" Gwen Spider-Man turned back and asked.

"Didn't you hear it? He seems to have been asking questions like what time is."

"He wants to know what time is, but there shouldn't be a standard answer for this, right?" Miles said with some confusion, "In everyone's eyes, the meaning represented by time is different. For example, in my view, time is an ethereal thing, and things that happen in time are meaningful."

"I think time is a tragedy." Gwen Spider-Man said, "If something can never stop, it is destined to be a tragedy."

Noir Spider-Man and Scarlet Spider-Man didn't express their views on this topic. They clearly cared more about the current situation.

Now the two on the street were actually fighting evenly. The red Batman's soles were flashing with golden light. Accompanied by his every disappearance and reappearance, the golden light became more and more concentrated, almost covering his entire body.

The time manipulator's body also began to appear with blue light that looked like substance. His black hair began to float constantly, and blue light like thunder filled his eyes.

Every confrontation between them was very short, and it could even be said that in the eyes of ordinary people, there had never been a confrontation. Every time, they disappeared and reappeared instantly, but from the blue and golden shadows left in the space, it could be seen that they fought for eternity in that instant.

"That Batman's ability seems to be movement." Noir Spider-Man said, "His movement speed reached a certain point, so that it could produce a kind of energy, and then he could use this energy to move faster."

"Is he really moving? Why do I feel that he can travel through some different space?" Gwen Spider-Man said with some surprise, "Always appearing and disappearing."

"Because he is too fast, and has transcended time." Noir Spider-Man said, "During his movement, time does not flow, so the time manipulator's manipulation of time is meaningless. He cannot reset time back at a node where time does not flow."

"But this kind of energy will always run out, right?"

"It seems that he is not a user of this kind of energy, but a producer." Noir Spider-Man said, "If he were only a user, he is not from this universe, and the energy brought is limited in the end, and it is impossible to waste it like this."

"Unless he himself is the source of power, every action of his can produce this kind of power, so he can use it unscrupulously." Noir Spider-Man judged.

"Then what should we do now? Who should we help?"

"Wait and see." Noir Spider-Man thought for a while and said, "I think this Batman is not the time manipulator's opponent at the moment. His use of this energy doesn't look skilled. After they decide the winner, we might be able to go and talk to the time manipulator."

Just as Noir Spider-Man expected, the time manipulator indeed couldn't reset the Flash-Batman's time, but that was limited to when the Flash-Batman was running. Once he stopped, he would still be reset.

So the Flash-Batman had to keep running, but the problem was that he was Batman, not Flash. Batman had never used the Speed Force in the first half of his life, and taking over Flash's mantle was only for a very short time.

He either ran in the Speed Force, or left the Speed Force to attack the time manipulator. He didn't know how to attack the time manipulator while running in the Speed Force.

The two moves he used in the past, Speed Force collision and directly grabbing people into the Speed Force, were not easy to use. The former could be dodged directly by the time manipulator, and when the Flash-Batman reached out to grab the latter, his hand felt like it was reaching into the cold void, and there was nothing there.

The Flash-Batman felt that he touched time at that instant. He believed that the time manipulator was very likely time itself, or at least a part of time, so he was more anxious to get the answer from the time manipulator.

But unfortunately, he didn't find the time manipulator's breakthrough. The anxious mentality made him lose the quality that Batman should have. As a result, the moment he came out of the Speed Force, countless blue time flows erupted, and with a swish, the Flash-Batman found that he had returned to the place where he had just come out of the portal.

The Flash-Batman left, and the Spider-Men walked out. In fact, Gwen Spider-Man didn't have much confidence in her heart, but Noir Spider-Man was very steady.

"Hello, I am Spider-Man." Noir Spider-Man introduced himself to the time manipulator and said, "I know, my friends have been hanging around near your base recently, which makes you feel threatened, but we just want to know what this is all about."

"I don't know if you are clear about the things in the real world, but obviously, whether it is the mental world or the real world, it cannot go on like this, otherwise the disaster will destroy us all."

The time manipulator's always expressionless face suddenly had a trace of fluctuation. He said, "War is wrong, it must stop."

"I couldn't agree more." Noir Spider-Man said from the bottom of his heart, "I come from an era different from them. Very unfortunately, my hometown just broke out in the Second World War."

Spider-Men heard an extremely obvious gasp, but it wasn't made by any of them.

Spider-Men watched with their own eyes as the expression of the originally expressionless time manipulator cracked.

Although their time was reset instantly, and then the time manipulator returned to an expressionless state, Noir Spider-Man immediately realized that the other party's attitude towards war was not quite right.

War is indeed a very terrifying thing, but if you haven't experienced it personally, you will never understand how terrifying it is to what extent.

The other party has experienced war? Noir Spider-Man thought, but this is impossible. The owner of this mental world is very young. In the time he has lived, the world has not broken out in a large-scale war, and he has no reason to be on the front line. There is no reason for him to have this reaction.

"Peace is everyone's appeal." The time manipulator said, "Our only purpose is to prevent the outbreak of war. If you also want to do this, go to the National Library to find me."

Noir Spider-Man stared at his back, but what he saw was not a vibrant young man, but more like an old veteran he saw when he participated in street speeches with his parents. ===== CHAPTER 2388 =====
