Chapter 2831: Movements of Each Team (Part 2)
"Everyone saw each other during the pre-grouping, so I won't say much more. Next, we need to formulate a course of action. We must improve our strength at the fastest speed; otherwise, it will be difficult to defeat the superheroes of the various worlds, and thus difficult to seek benefits for our own universes."
"So now, we need..."
Just as the Prime Universe Batman said this, Bruce interrupted, "We need to save people!"
All the Batmen's gazes fell on him. Bruce seemed to suddenly lose his nerve, shrank his neck back, cleared his throat, and said, "I have some new information here. Do you want to hear it?"
All the Batmen's gazes became focused. Bruce simply hid behind Owlman, only poking out a head, and said, "I know a Batman who received an invitation and confirmed it, but couldn't come."
"Couldn't come?" Batwoman deliberated on his wording and said, "You mean he can't come? But this isn't a big deal, is it? Entering the Battleworld is entirely voluntary. If he had something come up..."
"It wasn't just 'something came up'," Bruce said. "It's not that he didn't want to come, but that he couldn't. Miss, do you not understand English?"
Batwoman was choked by him, but Owlman turned his head and said to Bruce, "You'd better be polite to the only lady here."
"She's not the only one," Bruce was still arguing back. He said, "There should be another lady, but she hasn't arrived yet."
"You seem to know a lot of different information." Arkham Batman's gaze, filled with killing intent, fell on Bruce.
"I'm also a closed beta player. Is it strange that I know different information? Alright, let's talk business. That guy didn't not want to come, but given his current situation, he couldn't come at all."
"I'm not lying to you. Open the card pool for the limited instances yourselves and scroll down; you'll see it soon."
The Prime Universe Batman opened the card pool. Because there was no such thing during the previous closed beta, he didn't know what was inside and hadn't had time to look carefully.
He scrolled down and saw a somewhat unique cover. It was an incomparably pale face with high cheekbones, sunken eye sockets, and it looked exactly like an evil ghost.
The cover of this limited instance undoubtedly attracted the attention of all the Batmen, but when they saw the summary, their hearts stopped for a split second at the same time.
"The Most Miserable Batman in History."
The Prime Universe Batman actually found it hard to imagine who could deserve this title. Or rather, everyone was miserable; who could be called the most miserable?
Bruce poked his head out again and said, "See, I didn't lie to you. This guy received an invitation, but his current state makes it impossible for him to come. We'd better be able to draw this instance and go save him... You wouldn't want to stand by and watch him die, would you? Surely not?"
Whispers began to rise in the cave. The Prime Universe Batman narrowed his eyes and gave Bruce a warning look. He had completely disrupted his opening arrangement; he had originally planned to go to the Future Universe to get some building materials and weapons.
Batman knew very well that when there are enough people, standard weapons are the only solution. Otherwise, it's just scattered soldiers and individual fighting. Without being as strong as Superman, daring to split up and attack is a death sentence.
Therefore, it was very necessary to unify weapons and conduct unified training. And since everyone was Batman, there was no need for a second set of equipment of the same technological level. It was definitely better to go to the Future Universe to get weapons with a higher technological level.
But since Bruce had said it to this point, the other Batmen certainly couldn't say they wouldn't save him. In fact, the Prime Universe Batman was also somewhat tempted; he wanted to know what exactly had turned the Batman of that universe into the "Most Miserable Batman."
At this moment, a hand rested on his shoulder. Arkham Batman signaled him with his eyes to agree. The Prime Universe Batman looked at the killing intent in his eyes and could only sigh silently in his heart.
It seems that being president doesn't temper one's temper, or is it that this presidency is just filled with rage?
"I think we can go take a look," the Prime Universe Batman finally spoke. "The probability of other teams eyeing this instance is not high, but..."
He deliberately dragged out a long tone, then looked at Bruce and said, "You can't go."
"Why?"
"No why."
"You're abusing your power for personal vendetta."
"I am."
Bruce retracted his head with a "whoosh," but Owlman's gaze toward the Prime Universe Batman became somewhat unfriendly.
The Prime Universe Batman sighed in his heart again. It really wasn't that he was being unreasonable; this was the best response method he had summarized during the process of dealing with Bruce.
In the Prime Universe Batman's view, Bruce had three main tactics: "read and reply randomly," "straight hook, salty bait," and "shrewish cursing."
So when he tried to bring up a topic, you only had to be more unreasonable than him to avoid being led around by him.
The Prime Universe Batman sneered in his heart: You are far worse than your teacher. Schiller's three tactics are truly unavoidable—"hitting the nail on the head," "mental manipulation," and "precision defense-breaking."
"What do you plan to do?" Bruce asked again.
"You misunderstood; I'm not going either," the Prime Universe Batman said, almost explicitly stating, "I'm going to keep an eye on you."
Bruce was just about to speak, but the Prime Universe Batman preempted him: "Judging from this description, this universe must be extremely dangerous. We need to send some strong people. I think this Batman is good."
The Prime Universe Batman looked at Arkham Batman. Bruce seemed to be able to distinguish who was the boss, rarely talking nonsense in front of Arkham Batman. Seeing him walk out, he didn't say anything more.
He exchanged a few words with the Grim Knight Batman next to him, and finally, this Batman carrying a gun walked out. He and Arkham Batman looked at each other; confirming the look in their eyes, neither was someone to be trifled with.
At this time, the God of War Batman (The Merciless) stood out and volunteered, saying, "I'm afraid the situation in this universe won't be too good. I have the power of the helmet, so I can go with you."
The Prime Universe Batman turned to look at Batwoman. Batwoman frowned slightly and said, "Alright, I'll go too."
The two of them were quite firm allies because Batwoman suspected that the Batman Who Laughs had killed Catman. She wanted to avenge her fiancé, so naturally, she was a die-hard supporter of the Bat-team.
She could even be extreme enough to destroy the world for her boyfriend, so naturally, she obeyed orders at this time.
The Prime Universe Batman thought to himself: It wasn't that he didn't trust Arkham Batman's intelligence, nor that he didn't believe in the God of War Batman's martial prowess, but precisely because of the miserable state of that universe's Batman, he had to find someone who could hold these people back to prevent them from really going on a killing spree and causing some trouble.
Batwoman was also very extreme, but according to the Prime Universe Batman's contact during this period, he found that female Batmen indeed had certain advantages; their risk aversion was higher than that of males, which was another kind of conservative extreme, so they were very good at acting as brakes for certain impulsive individuals.
The Prime Universe Batman also had a fairly deep understanding of Arkham Batman. This Batman belonged to the type where everything was good; he could simply be called a "hexagonal warrior," even three points stronger than himself. The biggest problem was that he was too cold and ruthless, incorruptible, and his execution was so strong that he couldn't stay for even one more second, as if he were racing against time every moment.
He and Batwoman were complementary. Added to that was the Grim Knight, a Batman who could kill, and the God of War Batman with the power of the helmet, so rescuing a miserable Batman in a bad state shouldn't be a big problem.
After deciding this, the Prime Universe Batman fixed his gaze on the Mind Hunter.
Batman was destined to be different from Superman; they were not people who could solve problems through friendly negotiation. Voting was even more of a mere formality. The timing of raising hands, the order of speaking, and the results of voting could all be played with millions of schemes, and in the end, the result might not even be determined. For Batman, this was a waste of time.
Among Batmen, the magic weapon to stand out was probably subjective initiative. The more actively one stepped forward, the more likely one was to win. The vast majority of Batmen preferred to hide behind the scenes to observe, so the closer one was to the front, the more likely one was to get leadership.
The Prime Universe Batman no longer hesitated. He spoke: "Because I am a closed beta player and have some experience, before coming here, I brought a mind-reading protection device. Just now, as soon as I walked in, this device sounded an alarm."
A few words instantly ignited the tense atmosphere in the cave.
Mind reading could be ranked at the top of Batman's most hated abilities. Of course, if it could be used by him, it would be at the top of his favorite abilities.
In the current situation, the entire cave was a huge dark forest for all Batmen. Whoever spoke first would be exposed first. Therefore, when the Prime Universe Batman stood out to preside over the situation, they didn't speak, just to observe first and gain more information advantage.
As a result, now you tell us that someone who can read minds has already mixed in, and our minds might be exposed to him without any defense. Is this appropriate?
Other Batmen were not without mind-protection devices. After all, many Batmen had come into contact with mind readers, but they also knew that there were many types of mind reading. Being able to defend against one type of brainwave intrusion didn't mean being able to defend against all.
The atmosphere in the cave calmed down, but Bruce's voice sounded: "Instead of worrying about mind reading, you'd better worry about the corruption of evil gods. There are quite a few non-humans here."
"This troublemaker," the Prime Universe Batman cursed in his heart. "Lighting a match can be considered killing a chicken to warn the monkeys, but setting fires everywhere is just terrorism."
Instantly, countless Batmen's gazes were focused on those Batmen who didn't look very human. Magic was something that had always been taboo for Batman.
Suddenly, countless pitch-black tentacles flashed past from the ceiling, and countless unspeakable whispers sounded in people's ears. A figure walked out from the crowd.
"I am an evil god. What do you plan to do to me?"
"Just joking," Bruce's head shrank back with a "whoosh" again. He said, "I just said there are, I didn't say I wanted to do anything to you. I don't have any weapons on me."
Every word out of his mouth was that of an old fire-starter.
And looking at the little Bruce who held the Necronomicon in his hand, with more than 6,000 tentacles dancing behind him without wind, almost turning into a mass of pitch-black darkness with no discernible face, the Prime Universe Batman decided to call him "Evil God Batman." ===== CHAPTER 2832 =====
