Chapter 2402: The Battle of the Bats (Part 21)
After Green Lantern Batman woke up, he couldn't believe everything he saw—a whole team of Batmen.
Of course, he was the more special one among them. Green Lantern Batman was also polluted, but the problem was that he was too young when he was polluted. The pollution affected his mind, but in the end, the cruel things he did shaped his personality. It can be said that even if the pollution is eliminated now, his bad character will not change back.
Since this is the case, he should not cooperate at all, stand on the opposite side of everyone, and make everyone restless.
But unfortunately, this role has long been played by someone.
"What's the matter with the two tentacles behind your back?" Batman looked at Little Bruce and said.
"None of your business." Little Bruce replied.
Batman was choked. Very good, another rebellious teenager. This world is really going to be destroyed by teenagers.
"Don't call them two tentacles." Helen reminded, "They have names, what were they called? Tati and Gian?"
"Only people whose brains are the size of walnuts will never remember their names. The ones on duty today are Rapt and Luna."
"Forget it." Barry had to complain, "You have more than 6,000 tentacles, and two are on duty every day. Who can remember them?"
Batman really wanted to say, compared to what these tentacles are called, isn't it more surprising that there are 6,000 tentacles? Where did Batman get the tentacles?
"Speaking of which." Harley turned to look at Little Bruce and said, "What's the matter with the Evil God? You said the one who lured you at the beginning was not Nyarlathotep, who was that?"
Little Bruce shook his head and said, "I don't know, but if Alfred didn't see it wrong, when I was still in the womb, my mother received a call, and my conversion to Nyar instead saved me."
"I felt your temper was terrible from the beginning." Barry muttered in a low voice, "Simply like crazy."
Little Bruce didn't refute this point, he just said seriously, "That damn insurance investigator, I have to say he is a part-timer, he is actually a damn teenage criminal."
"Aren't you?"
"I said I haven't committed a crime." Little Bruce said impatiently, "Listen to me, although that guy is neither professional nor annoying, he did find some clues."
"What is that?"
"Martha often goes to church to pray." Little Bruce recalled, "She will go to the cathedral on important days, but usually goes to the community church."
Batman immediately pricked up his ears. He cared about everything related to Martha.
"The community church is maintained by all the residents in the community." Little Bruce recalled, "According to the nun in the community elementary school where I am, one year before I was born, which was just when Martha was pregnant, a lightning bolt knocked the church down one night, so it had to be rebuilt."
"Will a lightning bolt knock down a church?" Batwoman questioned, "If I remember correctly, Wayne Manor is located in Cat Getan's Upper East Side, where all are rich people. How could the church built by the people here be knocked down by lightning?"
"This is exactly the problem. Jerome investigated this accident. He believed that some pollution started from that time, so he began to suspect my mother, and naturally he would suspect me."
Harley gasped and said, "He knows you are the body that caused the disaster in Cat Getan?"
"I'll say it again, that's not a disaster. If I didn't use Nyar's power to clear the pollution in Cat Getan City, then this damn city would not get better either."
"It's just that the movement to clear the pollution was a bit big, and the transformation process was a bit intense, leading to the death of some criminals who were seriously polluted. This damn insurance investigator, for the sake of his damn company not making damn claims, wished he could rush into my house."
Little Bruce could be described as gnashing his teeth, but he took a deep breath and continued, "He investigated the problems in the process of rebuilding the church and my mother who often went to pray. He suspected that my mother had been polluted, and naturally he would suspect me."
Hearing the word pollution, all Batmen pricked up their ears. At first, they thought Little Bruce was different from them, that he was on the side of Bat-Rex and Bat-Monster Car, that is, although an accident occurred, Batman was not Batman, but his sanity was normal, and even because of some accidents, he untied the knot of many years and became closer to a normal person than other Batmen.
Bat-Rex and Bat-Monster Car were both like this. Bat-Rex was because he experienced a death, and the terror between life and death made him more cherish life than other Batmen, and thus closer to normal people.
And Bat-Monster Car did everything he could do. He perfectly saved the whole world and took care of humanity.
It's just that in the end, humanity didn't need him to take care of them and chose freedom. This is not something he can control. He has completed his ideal and also completed self-salvation in the process of saving others, realizing his own maximum value, so he could follow Bruce away without any regrets in the end.
And other Batmen who suffered conspiracies mostly left in tragedy and regret. Although they finally got a not-bad ending, most of the tragedies that had already happened could not be recovered.
Although Little Bruce looked more like the latter on the surface, it was obvious that he was sober, so everyone thought he was actually the former, not crazy, just a bit strange in breed.
But now it seems there is another possibility. He was actually supposed to be polluted, but because some episodes occurred, the mastermind's conspiracy failed, and this episode also made him what he is now.
"Talk about pollution in detail." Batman said.
"The community church started to become wrong after it was rebuilt." Little Bruce recalled, "Alfred recalled that the best psychologist in the community was full every day, and before that, he even only had two meetings a week."
"Someone crazy?"
"Many people were in a poor mental state, including my mother. The doctor suspected that she had prenatal depression, but Alfred said that the results of the check at the central hospital at that time showed that the hormones were no problem, the fetus was also very normal, and there were no environmental factors that would make Martha feel worried and anxious."
"In order to comfort Martha
"What strange words?"
"Blood." Little Bruce replied: "It's just this one word; neither Jerome nor I understand what it means."
Batman and Batwoman exchanged a glance; they immediately thought of the dark red liquid decomposed from the metal, which the figure in the thick fog had also called blood.
"Wait a minute, why does this plot sound a bit familiar?" White Knight suddenly said with a hint of surprise. He turned his head to look at the Mechanical Batman beside him and said: "A monster replaced Alfred and corrupted Batman; could it be that a monster also replaced the priest and corrupted Martha?"
Harley could clearly see Little Bruce's complexion change, so she asked: "Has anyone seen the priest that Martha was always praying to? Judging by his age, he shouldn't have retired yet, right?"
Little Bruce shook his head and said: "This is an important clue; I will go back and investigate."
"I suggest you don't go, and let that Jerome go instead." Batman suddenly spoke up: "If someone tried to corrupt you before you were even born, and you weren't corrupted due to some accident, he will definitely be paying attention to you, so you cannot easily show your face."
"I won't go begging him." Little Bruce raised his voice and said: "Last time, he didn't know where he got a candle and burned off one of my tentacles; that hurt!"
"He looks very much like a righteous knight." Barry whispered again: "Going through all sorts of hardships to find items, defeating the Great Demon King, and so on."
"Shut up, Barry!"
"What on earth are you all talking about?" Green Lantern Batman had to interject: "What corruption?"
When everyone's gaze focused on him, Green Lantern Batman couldn't help but feel nervous. With so many Batmen, even if some of them looked bizarre, they were still Batman, and the pressure brought by their collective gaze was terrifying.
"I don't think I've been corrupted by anything." Green Lantern Batman said: "I just killed some criminals; they deserved to die."
"No one said they didn't." Flash Batman said: "But you'd better take that ring off your finger before you keep talking."
"What? No..."
Bang!
Doomsday Batman jumped directly onto Green Lantern Batman, pinning him down firmly. Because there was no Green Lantern energy, Green Lantern Batman couldn't break free. Batwoman stepped forward, wanting to take the ring off his hand.
But after they studied it for a while, they discovered that this thing had completely fused with the finger bones of Green Lantern Batman, and even the nerves had intertwined. Batwoman gave a hard tug, and Green Lantern Batman let out a scream.
Peter walked up. He had just studied that helmet and discovered that the energy circuits in this ring were almost identical to those on the helmet, which meant that energy opposition was still needed to eliminate the core.
The energy required for this was no small amount. Wonder Woman had exhausted all her divine power just to barely eliminate the core inside the helmet, and there was clearly no other Wonder Woman here...
Aisha walked up and said: "Thanks for having so many Batmen, *hic*."
A rich yellow light flashed in her eyes, and the Yellow Lantern energy instantly dissolved the Green Lantern ring's defense system, also very easily following the energy circuits to find the core.
However, the difference was that because Yellow Lantern energy and Green Lantern energy are mutually generative and restrictive, Aisha used her own fear energy to wrap around the core and take it out.
At first, when the Yellow Lantern's light was relatively intense, everyone hadn't yet seen what this core was; they only saw a ball of light emitting some kind of ominous glow.
But after Aisha carefully withdrew her energy, what appeared before everyone's eyes was an egg. On the egg was a large mouth filled with sharp teeth, which was currently grinning and laughing wildly.
