Chapter 2427

The War God Batman is currently facing an awkward situation.

The thing is, he brought his girlfriend, the Wonder Woman who has lost her mystery, back to the main universe.

Thomas and Martha were overjoyed. They have always liked Diana's personality, but unfortunately, the Batman and Wonder Woman of the main universe couldn't spark any romance. Since other universes have such good news, they naturally provided the most favorable conditions they could.

The most important thing right now is to help Diana restore her divine power. However, after discussions between Diana and her brother, the God of War, they believe that Diana's demigod bloodline has not disappeared, but her energy has been exhausted. Because she consumed too much, she completely overdrawn the energy the bloodline could provide, and since the supply couldn't keep up with the consumption, it naturally manifested as an inability to use divine power.

So the top priority now is to find enough energy to fill the void of missing divine power. As long as the first trickle of water can be added to this dried-up creek, the demigod bloodline will naturally be able to exert its effect and complete the subsequent energy supply.

For ordinary people, there are naturally two choices when looking for energy: either rely on magic or rely on science. The War God Batman chose the latter because he was truly fed up with magic.

For example, projects like artificial suns are things Batman is certainly researching, but so far, it is neither the mainstream of the human scientific community nor Batman's mainstream discipline. To obtain such a large amount of energy through science, Batman also needs more in-depth research.

But now, in order to investigate the mysterious blood, all the machines in the Batcave are running at full power and simply cannot spare any time to help the War God Batman. He has to find a research institution himself.

After hearing about this, Thomas and Martha indicated that this was a small problem. They quickly found one of the few remaining energy research centers preserved underground in the Sky Island Gotham for the War God Batman to use.

However, because there are not many research centers left, most of the villains capable of scientific research are clustered here to work, including Mr. Freeze.

The War God Batman swears that he absolutely had no intention of touching Mr. Freeze's frozen wife, but the fusion ignition project that the War God Batman attempted was really too power-consuming in the initial stage. Even with the energy support of Wayne Enterprises, it still caused the research center to trip the circuit breaker three times within a few days.

Even with backup energy to keep his wife in the cryo-chamber safe, Mr. Freeze simply couldn't bear it anymore.

Mr. Freeze, Victor, cannot be considered a simple villain in any universe. There are basically two reasons why he wants to freeze the world: either he wants to save his wife, or his wife really can't be saved, and if I can't have a good time, no one else should either.

But as long as his wife is safe and his experimental progress is smooth, Victor can simply be called a clear stream among villains. The most extreme thing he has ever done is at most use a freeze gun to freeze Batman and talk to him about life.

But the so-called "a rabbit will bite when cornered." The War God Batman's energy-consuming method, which disregarded the lives of others, angered Mr. Freeze. Soon, the War God Batman was frozen there with a "thud."

It stands to reason that with divine power, the War God Batman wouldn't be unable to break free, but the room was full of instruments. If he unleashed a burst of divine power, not only would Mr. Freeze's research project be ruined, but the one in his own hands would also be hopeless. So what else could he do? He had to stay put honestly and listen to Mr. Freeze talk about life philosophy.

But it just so happened that Diana broke in at this time. She originally came to find the War God Batman to persuade him not to be too anxious. Although he had no divine power and couldn't use magic, his brute strength was still there; he hadn't directly turned into an ordinary person. Moreover, for long-lived species, the basic unit of measurement is years. Batman being so anxious would only lead to mistakes in his haste, which was completely unnecessary.

As soon as Diana broke in, she understood what was going on. The expression on her face said it all: "See what I told you?"

However, this also had to be solved, and the method of solution couldn't be punching Mr. Freeze down, because Diana had heard what Mr. Freeze said in the room before she came in, and Diana felt it made quite a lot of sense.

There are millions of Batmen in various universes, but it just so happens that the one in her own home is a super impatient person. If he had even a little bit of patience, he wouldn't have just fainted; he didn't even take a look and thought he was dead, and then put on the helmet like a madman.

Although Ares, the War God who forged this helmet, is at fault, isn't it also a problem that you, Batman, rushed to take the bait?

Diana herself was already full of anger about this matter, and it just so happened that Mr. Freeze, Victor, brought up this topic.

"... I really don't know why you can be so stupid. We are currently on a sky island flying in the sky, and energy is very precious. Even if ground replenishment is possible, any transmission path has losses. Would you pay for this?"

"A person who has reached middle age is still so childish. I simply can't imagine it. If I were at your age and still spending my parents' money, I wouldn't be as at ease as you are."

"On the surface, you just cut the power to this research center a few times, but in reality, you have stopped several important projects. These are all important projects related to the future development of our sky island. Do you know how many people and how many things your parents have to smooth over behind the scenes for this?"

"And I don't even want to talk about you." Mr. Freeze expressed great disdain. He said, "You've done so much, but in reality, it's counterproductive and useless work. Is it to move your girlfriend or yourself? Do you think you are a teenager? Do you still need to get 999 roses to make the girl you like cry with emotion?"

"Perhaps there is such a possibility: he actually has a way and the willingness to solve this matter independently, but you, just because you might have been at fault in this matter, and you are wholeheartedly trying to make up for it, completely disregard his opinion and start doing all sorts of things on the side, acting arbitrarily at the risk of potentially committing an even greater mistake."

"If this causes some consequences more serious than a power outage, such as a huge explosion or casualties, he will inevitably share these responsibilities with you because you didn't get his consent. I really don't know how a mature adult could do such a... thing that I cannot evaluate."

Mr. Freeze's tone was calm and rational throughout, but he was actually just complaining. At least that was the case before Diana broke in. When Diana broke in, he knew that this couple was truly a perfect match.

Entering the laboratory without protective clothing, without gloves, without preparation, and not closing the door after entering—violating more than 200 laboratory regulations in three minutes. No wonder they say that people who sleep in the same bed are cut from the same cloth.

However, seeing Diana's aggressive appearance, Mr. Freeze knew that things couldn't end well today. He had already pulled out his gun, only he had just finished the end of the previous sentence. As a result, Diana not only didn't rush up to beat him, but stood there staring with her eyes wide open, nodding continuously.

"Batman, actually, I've wanted to say it for a long time. You are a bit too hasty in dealing with Ares. I know that for humans like you who can only live for a few decades, a war that has lasted for so long is a very terrible disaster, but then again, this war has lasted for so long, so it must have its reasons. It is really not wise for you to want to end it with one big decisive battle."

Diana sighed and said, "I have always believed that the theory of quick victory and the theory of surrender are the same thing. The root cause lies in the fact that if I cannot fix something immediately, then this matter is doomed to failure. This is a very extreme and dangerous idea, and these ideas are always swirling in your mind."

"Why can't we wait a while? The more you see your compatriots struggling in pain, the more you should remain clear-headed, instead of blindly pinning all your hopes on a decisive battle. And you have made this mistake more than once. I really don't know what's wrong."

Judging from her expression and tone, Diana had also been holding it in for quite a long time. Actually, she didn't have much of a real feeling before, but after seeing so many Batmen, she also discovered that the one in her own home was an extremely special variety among Batmen—the "Hasty King."

Although other Batmen are not all old conspirators who prepare one plan for decades or even centuries, at least what they lack least is patience. There are very few prey that can compete with Batman in patience. Just as Harley evaluated, the vast majority of Batmen are cautious to the point of having no flaws.

But the one in her own home can't be called cautious investigation or patient lurking; it can only be called taking the bait like a straight hook and salty bait. If I don't perform a fancy hook-taking for you today, I'd be sorry for the trap you carefully laid.

"Impatience is not very likable." Mr. Freeze shook the gun in his hand and said, "You are not quite the same as the Batman I know. That guy's posture sometimes reminds me of a koala coming down a tree. When he is there, the whole space seems like a slow-motion movie. Sometimes the main reason I like chatting with him is his stable mood, which is unhurried and has everything within expectations, which can very well alleviate my anxiety."

The War God Batman, who was frozen in the ice, was speechless. Of course, he couldn't say that these two people were completely wrong, but Diana, do you want to see what you are doing? You are criticizing him together with a murderer who attacked your boyfriend. Can this world still be saved?

Diana walked over and knocked on the ice. Now Batman could only move his eyeballs, so he silently gave a look that said, "Save me out quickly."

Diana seemed to think that such a Batman was very interesting, so she cleared her throat and said, "Of course I am very willing to save you out, but just as we said before, if you cannot guarantee that you won't use your hot temper to cause so much trouble again, I'm afraid you'll have to stay here for a while longer."

Batman blinked, obviously expressing agreement, but Diana knew her boyfriend best. She said, "No, it won't work. To express your sincerity, you have to take off the helmet and give it to me."

Batman hesitated slightly. After all, he had already sobered up and was no longer bewitched by the helmet, so he didn't feel that this thing was precious. He didn't usually use divine power anyway, so to coax his girlfriend to be happy, he still nodded.

"Please, sir, can you defrost the ice above his head for me? Be precise, just the helmet part."

"Very happy to serve, enlightened lady." Actually, Victor had been curious about that helmet for a long time. He used the freeze ray gun to unlock the ice shackles on Batman's head, and Diana went up and took the helmet off.

Victor walked over and touched the helmet, immediately frowning and saying, "I can feel an extraordinary energy in this thing."

"That is my divine power."

"No, no, no, not only that. These patterns are very peculiar. They look like an energy amplifier created by another civilization. It looks like it might be useful."

"Can you crack and study it? Sir."

"Of course, but you let it go first. I need to hear the story of this helmet. If our research can be successful, perhaps your, mine, and this city's energy problems can all be solved."
