Chapter 2463
Little Bruce lifted King Robin's body onto the table on the side with tentacles, turned his head to look at Schiller, and asked, "What do you want to do? Open his skull? Perhaps we can try to start from the eye socket..."
Schiller understood. He was euphemistically saying whether to perform a frontal lobotomy on King Robin, but he understood that this method was useless. The editor who created King Robin had already said directly that this guy was a teenage version of the Laughing One, and his strength did not come from his physical condition, but from the setting of the higher level, so even if his brain was moved, it would be difficult to make him directly become an idiot.
"Take the box on his belt down first." Schiller looked at the box on the front of King Robin's belt and said, "There seem to be many props inside. You see if there are any you can use, and give the rest to other Robins."
Little Bruce wasn't polite either. He had been staring at this King Robin for a long time, so naturally, he knew how powerful the other party's ability to pull out suitable props from the belt at any time was. He wanted to see what was going on with this belt.
After untying the belt and taking the box down, little Bruce appeared somewhat disappointed because he discovered that he couldn't open this box.
This wasn't surprising. After all, if there were really some extremely powerful props inside, King Robin definitely couldn't have made no precautions. Little Bruce used tentacles and Nyx's energy, but had no way to deal with the box on the belt.
Schiller was more concerned about King Robin's body. He checked it slightly and discovered that King Robin's skin was now corroded, which was very likely because he was thrown into the pool used to transform Robins by the Laughing One.
This meant that King Robin's current physical condition was more complicated than Schiller imagined, because there was such a possibility that King Robin's brain did indeed have congenital lesions, but after he was thrown into the pool, another layer of crazy influence was added. Schiller needed to carefully distinguish which were congenital lesions and which were acquired transformations. This was a relatively troublesome job.
"We have to find a quieter place." Schiller said, "His spiritual body can't come back in a short time. We can study where his madness comes from."
Little Bruce was actually more interested in the box on the belt, but since he couldn't open it now, it was better to do research with Schiller. What if he could open it after cracking King Robin's secret?
After a little thought, the two came to the laboratory under Wei En Tower. After Batman in the Arkham universe became president, most of the experiments conducted here were related to energy innovation. Little Bruce could see that this president, in addition to trying to make up for the loopholes in the entire American system, also intended to build a new engine for this country.
Just when Schiller was doing a basic check on King Robin, little Bruce discovered more traces left by President Wei En here. It seemed that Batman in this universe would collect some reports about new policies and write some annotations. Now these materials were all stored here.
Little Bruce could understand why he didn't return to the study of Wei En Manor to do these things. He didn't have a quiet day when he stayed at Wei En Manor in the main universe. The Robins were really too noisy.
Little Bruce looked and discovered that President Wei En's prestige was quite high. He had been in power for less than a year, and there were faint signs of unification everywhere in the federation.
As everyone knows, the United States is less a unified big country than a union of a bunch of powerful small countries. The power of each state is unimaginably large. Compared to giving orders, the president is more like shouting and cheering. Shouting is shouting, but whether the people below listen is another matter.
But Wei En, this president, didn't come up through elections. He was directly under the city walls, wearing a yellow robe. For Batman at that time, the situation had reached the point where he had to go up.
Also as everyone knows, a monarch who has a hard time convincing the public after taking office will always use some small means after taking office. The subsequent era is one of peace and prosperity.
After all, this is also a matter of no choice. You took office through means that did not conform to the previous rules, and there must be a bunch of thorns below looking for trouble. If you don't suppress them, this position won't be stable.
And Bruce Wei En at that time had to be president even if he didn't want to. The true identities of him and the Robins were exposed. If he didn't take economic and political measures, it would be fine if he couldn't be Batman, but his group of children would also have to die socially.
In this situation, since he had already taken office, it was impossible to give the group of people below any chance to shake his position.
So the first thing Bruce Wei En did after taking office was to build a strong government, and the most important step in building a strong government was to weaken the vassals.
Many people will think about such a question: what will happen if Batman, who is known as the strongest character in comic history, becomes emperor?
The answer is that those state governments and capital groups that shout the loudest can't do anything about him.
On the one hand, they can't fight in terms of force. Wei En directly descended with Tiandingxing technology. Who can beat this living father? On the other hand, their political brains and economic means are far inferior to the super genius Batman. In a very short time, they were divided and ruled by him. When it comes to manipulating power, Batman is not inferior.
Just like this, the vast majority of local power in the entire American federation was taken back in less than a year, solving the problem of vassal separatism, and basically solving most of the problems in the United States.
The foundation of the United States is really too thick, but if it weren't for the disaster buried in the early days of the founding of the country, leading to him not even being able to be a complete person, he wouldn't have declined at such a fast speed. If this problem is solved, lying on a gold mountain and gnawing on the old foundation for another 50 years is not a problem.
Reaching this stage, Batman President of the Arkham universe faced the problem faced by Bruce in the universe where Schiller is—the fundamental problem of the capitalist system.
There is no perfect system in this world, but the capitalist system is obviously a bit too imperfect. Although it is full of contradictions from a theoretical point of view, the description on paper is even considered to be beautified a lot, and there are more problems in actual operation.
This world's number one power has also operated this system for so many years, and the accumulated stubborn illnesses are countless. The problem that makes the ruler most anxious is only one: the bomb will explode sooner or later, but you don't know where it will explode, and you don't know how big it will explode.
The bomb in Bruce's universe has obviously exploded, and it exploded very strangely. Who knows that the music festival was being held happily in the previous second, and in the next second, almost the entire country's economy exploded into fireworks in the sky.
Bruce did indeed have expectations for this long ago. The Cold War reached this step, just looking at which of them could persist without collapsing. One stabilized, and the other must collapse.
It's like there are two starving ghosts now, but there is only one steamed bun. Whoever can have the last bit of chewing strength to swallow the steamed bun, the other must be starved to death.
The United States in the universe where Schiller is not only failed to gnaw on the corpse of the giant bear, but also because the Soviet Union's lingering on forced Europe to unite, and the United States' father-killing plan had no hope. Now it is completely starved and fainted.
The day after the economic crisis broke out, the government completely stopped working, and the state governments announced bankruptcy one after another. Capitalists and politicians wouldn't let go when there was meat to eat, but ran fast when they found there was no food. In less than a day, they withdrew completely, and the entire country physically became in a state of anarchy.
Almost at the same time, after Batman President of the Arkham universe handled the political problems, he discovered that this was not the end, but the beginning of the beginning. The pile of mess left to him was the kind of dead end that had curative effect in the initial treatment, but had no solution long ago when dragged to now.
They had had a few words of communication in the system of the Battle World.
Little Bruce discovered this point in the letters they communicated later. It is very likely that one of them sent a group message—little Bruce guessed it was the younger Batman—and then it was received by the other party, and both parties discovered that the problems they were facing now were the same.
So the two of them began to communicate, and the main research direction was how to solve the fundamental contradictions of this system.
Then these two super geniuses reached the same conclusion, that is, there is no solution in this world.
But this could not make Batman discouraged. He understood that if a problem had no solution, it proved that it was not wise to stick to this problem, so it was better to study another problem.
Since the contradiction could not be solved, was there a method that could allow this contradiction to be delayed indefinitely, approximately equal to never erupting.
After the two of them studied it, they discovered that this method really existed, that is, the so-called let the people suffer a little more.
Relying on Batman's force means, suppressing for another few hundred years is not a big problem. If they start global plunder again, suppressing while sucking blood, then they can indeed drag out a prosperous age.
But is Batman for leaving a name in history? Of course not, so this means is completely putting the cart before the horse.
In the end, the two of them still reached the same conclusion—there is no solution on Earth, so they can only go outside the Earth.
The communication of the letters stopped abruptly here, because there was indeed no confidential information, so these letters were not encrypted. Little Bruce didn't see what they wanted to do after reading them, and I'm afraid other people who read these letters were the same.
But little Bruce is different from ordinary people. After all, he is also Bruce Wei En and can do empathy. Since the final conclusion is that he must seek a solution outside the Earth, then judging from human history, this so-called solution has only two words—war.
Whether it is encountering alien invasion or actively launching war outward, it can well transfer internal contradictions on Earth, thereby transferring internal contradictions in the United States.
Because the so-called lean camel is bigger than a horse, if the Earth encounters a destruction crisis now, the first thing other countries do is definitely to unite to save the United States first. They can't cut off an arm first when the enemy is at the door, right?
They don't even need to save them. They only need to not fall into the trap when the enemy is at the door. Bruce Wei En then uses his heavenly means, and he can always let this country catch its breath.
But the question comes, where does this foreign enemy come from?
Little Bruce thought about it, and he felt that the plan of sending signals to recruit aliens casually was definitely unreliable, because the people recruited were uncontrollable. What if the other party really smashed the Earth with one shot?
In Batman's view, the alien invasion and the start of interstellar war used to generate pressure must be controllable. Even if there is no way to manipulate the opponent, at least there must be some understanding of them.
Mentioning the desire to invade the Earth and Batman having some understanding of them, little Bruce had to think of one person—Darkseid, the Emperor of Apokolips.
