Chapter 279: Fear Laughing Demon (Part 2)

~10 min read 1,855 words

In the deepest part of Batman's consciousness space, the battle has been continuing. The black tide summoned by the Fear Laughing Demon has become its own stumbling block, because water-dwelling birds can attack the monster's legs from under the sea surface.

The giant penguin that Kebote turned into can not only attack with its sharp beak, but also stir up water currents when flapping its wings, forming whirlpools, approaching the Fear Laughing Demon. Every time it is hit by these whirlpools, the legs supporting the Fear Laughing Demon's body are pulled in one direction, causing it to lose its center of gravity.

And every time it staggers, Alberto, who is flying in mid-air, will fold his wings, dive downward, and then fiercely hit one side of its body. Even if it doesn't fall, it will make this huge monster sway for a long time.

And the blizzard and Gordon's firepower suppression in the field are the most damaging to the monster. Bullets and ice cones like bullets hit this monster without interruption, making it skin and flesh torn, and just healing has consumed a lot of energy.

Green Lantern Hal mainly played a role in controlling the field. He only discovered in the process of attacking this monster with green lantern energy that he was somewhat helpless about the lower body of this monster, that is, the part of Parallax. Parallax's body seemed to carry a layer of special defense, which could resist the power of green lantern energy. No matter how Hal attacked, it remained motionless.

This monster, although ugly, has to admit that its body shape is very favorable for dealing with sieges, because its lower body is a multi-legged structure like a centipede, and it also has a long, big tail, which makes its center of gravity relatively stable. Even if one foot is injured, it will not fall easily.

And the upper body is human-like, with two excessively thick arms. Every time it waves, the combat units in the air need to dodge, otherwise, if they get hit, it will be very uncomfortable.

"Head, its weakness is the head." Kebote's voice echoed in everyone's ears, and soon Victor's voice also sounded: "In a dream, we don't need to talk close, we only need to communicate with our minds, just like I do."

"I also agree that its weakness is the head. Every time we want to get close, it will use its arms to protect that place."

"My goal has always been a headshot!" Gordon squatted on the roof of a building and said: "But its protection for the head is too tight, I can't find a chance!"

"I'll go for a feint to attract its attention, you guys find a chance to attack its head!" Alberto's voice came from mid-air. After speaking, the sound of wind rang out, and he circled rapidly along this monster, making the Fear Laughing Demon turn its head constantly, looking for his figure.

"Tashing"

Kebote was also constantly attacking the lower plate, making it unable to turn around, and could only rush to parry. Victor found a chance, condensed a huge ice crystal in the air, and shot it toward the monster's head.

The ice crystal appeared behind the Fear Laughing Demon, so it had to turn its upper body, and then use its arms to block the back of its head.

But just at this time, Gordon in front was also in position. A missile that was unusually large rushed out along the launch rack, almost in an instant, came to the front of the Fear Laughing Demon, and then hit its small head.

With a "boom", the monster let out a fierce scream, its body began to tremble constantly. Clearly, this attack worked.

And it wasn't just effective on the surface. It can be said that this attack helped a lot, because inside the monster's body, there was another war.

Just as Shiler expected, Parallax, the laughing egg, and Batman, these three could never live in peace. The laughing egg was a native of this consciousness space, its main opponent was Batman, and it brought Parallax in, originally wanting to deal with Batman together with Parallax, and then let itself escape smoothly.

But Parallax is a very chaotic creature. It is very difficult to reason with it. In the consciousness space of the host it parasitized in the past, it was the only one. It didn't want to share territory with others. Even if the laughing egg let it in, it bit the guide as soon as it turned around, wanting to swallow the laughing egg and then occupy Batman's consciousness space alone.

And Batman couldn't allow two monsters to make waves in his consciousness space. Whether it was the laughing egg or Parallax, neither was a good thing. Batman didn't want to cooperate with either of them at all, so both were his enemies.

The laughing egg wanted to escape, Parallax wanted to occupy Batman alone, and Batman wanted to eliminate both of them, which led to these three parties fighting each other inside the Fear Laughing Demon.

Originally, the laughing egg had the upper hand. This deformed and strange embryo, even if it hadn't hatched yet, was terrifyingly powerful. Parallax and Batman could only barely resist its attack.

But the attacks from the outside could still help them turn the tide of the battle. A heavy blow hit the head of the Fear Laughing Demon, that is, the part occupied by the laughing egg, making it suffer heavy damage all of a sudden.

This was also one of Batman's plans. He knew that after this monster was born, those two Jokers and Professor Shiler couldn't sit idly by and would definitely find ways to attack it.

This monster is composed of three parts, namely the head controlled by the laughing egg, the upper body controlled by Batman, and the lower body controlled by Parallax.

Every time an attack approached the head, Batman would control the monster's arms to block the attack, but this was not to protect the laughing egg, but to send a signal to the outside world—the head is the monster's weakness.

Batman believed that these people outside must be able to understand his hint. Sure enough, they used a beautiful cover and feint to make the laughing egg suffer heavy damage.

The head controlled the coordination of the monster's entire movements, and the injury to the head led to the monster's weakened control over the will in its body. Batman took the opportunity to break out. After the monster screamed, yellow scales spread to the upper body, and the black and bat patterns gradually faded away.

Soon, the Fear Laughing Demon turned into a Parallax with a laughing egg head. The bat elements completely disappeared from the monster's body, and Batman appeared over Cat Getan.

He looked around at the situation. Except for the person who looked like a green light in a traffic light that he hadn't seen, he quickly guessed who these strange things around him were.

Batman didn't rush to attack, but came to Gordon's side and asked: "Did you see two Jokers?"

"Joker? What Joker?"

"Who brought you into here?"

"Oh, it's Shiler, what's wrong?"

"Then where did he go?"

"He said he had things to do."

Batman narrowed his eyes. He guessed that Shiler intended to do something big, but he didn't expect what method Shiler would use to reverse the current situation.

Just as he was thinking about this question, he suddenly heard a crisp "click" sound coming from his consciousness space.

It was a bit like the sound of a door lock opening, and also a bit like the sound of a truck carriage connecting, but after this sound, Batman looked at the horizon, where mist like clouds and sea was surging.

Gray mist rushed over quickly, and in an instant, it submerged the entire city. Batman recognized that it was the ability Shiler used during the Battle of Living Hell.

But this kind of mist didn't cause any damage to anything on the field, as if it were really just mist in the natural world, coming silently and going silently.

The mist rose and rolled between the cities, as if the entire city suddenly floated into the high sky's cloud sea, and the Fear Laughing Demon, which had lost Batman, didn't care about this mist that didn't cause any damage.

But soon, the mist became thicker and thicker, rising higher and higher, until even the tallest building in the entire city was submerged.

The Fear Laughing Demon realized something was wrong. After a sprint, it wrapped around Wayne Tower in the consciousness space like a centipede, and then squatted on the roof.

The gray mist under its feet rose like bone-attached gangrene, changing from light gray to thick dark gray, and the bottom layer became pitch black.

No one knew where this kind of mist came from, but everyone felt a kind of indescribable mystery and danger from this mist.

The mist filled the entire consciousness space, occupying all areas including the sky, and in the sky, a shadow like a mirage appeared and disappeared.

Batman looked up and saw that it seemed to be a towering tower. He looked at the tower from top to bottom and found that it had at least three hundred floors.

As the mist became thicker, the shape of the tower became more solid, until it condensed into a complete entity, and a towering Tower of Babel landed in the center of Cat Getan.

Everyone's attention fell on this huge tower, and in their gaze, the top of this tower continued to pile up, bricks and tiles were built up, pillars were supported upward, and in just a short moment, more than a dozen floors were added.

After seeing this tower, the Fear Laughing Demon felt great danger from Parallax's keen intuition. It flew toward that tower quickly, and Batman's voice echoed in everyone's ears: "Stop it."

Suddenly, birds screamed, wind and snow raged, machine guns roared, and this was not as good as a black figure.

Batman's pitch-black cape danced in the gray mist, and the whole person flew quickly without the help of any tools, even faster than the Green Lantern.

He rushed in front of the Fear Laughing Demon, and then slapped it, and the invisible power directly slapped this huge monster into a somersault. Clearly, in terms of willpower, no one could compare with Batman.

The rest of the few all followed, began to besiege this monster, forced it away from before that towering tower, and as the battle became more and more intense, the Tower of Babel also became higher and higher, until it pressed against the barrier of deep and surface consciousness.

Without caring about the obstruction of the barrier, this tower was still getting higher and higher, breaking through one layer of dream after another, from deep consciousness to surface consciousness, and then along the soul rushing out of the flesh,

At this moment, Shiler's voice echoed in the conscious space, and he said: "Everyone, get ready..."
