Chapter 2860: The Great Battle of the Lego Minifigures! (25)

~10 min read 1,930 words

Looking at Batman's expression, Shiler knew that he definitely hadn't given up on his plan and still intended to continue doing something seriously. But judging from the style of this world, it was unlikely he would succeed, only adding to the joke.

They really had to consider a realistic problem now, which was whether this group of people could break through to the 13th floor. If not, they might have to apply some external force.

Now the ordinary maze on the 4th floor had trapped them for a long time, which could be considered Shiler bringing it on himself. Originally, with Batman's IQ, walking through a maze shouldn't be difficult, even without a map or being able to fly up to look, it wouldn't be trapped for so long.

But Shiler's teaching of social skills made Batman a bit too worried about his teammates' views. Superman said where to go, he didn't refute directly, just let them try. Wonder Woman said which intersection they had passed, he didn't deny it, trying his best to take care of his teammates' emotions.

These teammates' emotions were taken care of, but the problem couldn't be solved at all. Instead, under the guidance of those guys, they went further and further astray, twisting the originally simple route into a ball of hemp.

Although this was not without the mischief of the world's great will, Shiler thought about it and felt that he had made quite a few contributions, so he still had to add a brainy character to this team.

Not long after, an echo came from the very empty maze. Everyone calmed down and listened carefully. Martian Manhunter's voice sounded in everyone's ears, "I'm coming to find you. There's a door near me. Where are you now?"

Superman felt like he had been granted amnesty and said, "Great, J'onn, let's go find you. Where should we go?"

"I'm not too sure either, but I think if those cultists have also passed through the maze, then the places where people often move, the moss on the floor must be relatively less. You might be able to use this clue."

Everyone suddenly realized. Batman took the lead and walked forward, saying, "So that's it, let's go."

At this time, Superman also felt something was wrong. He looked at Batman with some doubt and said, "Actually, you saw it long ago, right? Then why didn't you remind us?"

"I just felt that what you said also made sense." Batman shook his head lightly and said, "How can I not give you a chance to try?"

Wonder Woman spread her hands helplessly and said, "Please, Batman, you can have something to say directly. The problem is solved, and everyone is happy."

"I hope so."

Superman and Wonder Woman exchanged a look. Superman cleared his throat and opened his mouth, "I know we might have done something wrong before, for example, some parties didn't call you..."

"Some?"

"Just a few times." Superman confessed, "On one hand, it's because we always called you before, but you weren't willing to come. Every time you said you had something to do, we didn't want to disturb you. On the other hand, we really had some things to discuss behind your back..."

Wonder Woman pushed Superman lightly and opened her mouth, "Who to leave behind was the result of the previous generation and our joint choice. It seems we have many choices, but in fact, we have no choice."

Batman hummed lightly, noncommittal. Wonder Woman and Superman could only hope that they could persuade him next time.

They soon found the door along the traces on the ground. The door behind Martian Manhunter was the gate. They fumbled on the gate for a while and then found that this door had no mechanism, just push it open.

They found the road to the fifth floor. After opening the door, a wide dark river appeared in front, and a drawbridge spanned the riverbank, but there were countless mechanisms firing flying knives on both sides. This level seemed to be a test of body technique.

Shiler and Tim in the Batcave looked at the instruction manual for a long time and found that this level was the one they pieced together most perfectly. Each mechanism was pressed very well, no parts were left out, and it wouldn't cause any trouble due to the tightness of the Lego piecing.

Watching this group of people break through the level was not interesting, although Green Lantern's green light energy was out of power again, and Superman's biological field didn't seem to work well, so they could only rely on their own abilities. No one could take Batman over.

But in general, this level of physical technique was not difficult for Batman, just a bit thrilling.

Taking this opportunity, the three of them started to discuss what to do next. Before that, Batman first asked Shiler, "What about that guy holding two knives? What did you let him do?"

"He has serious business to do." Shiler said, "If we want to transport raw materials in large quantities, we must find a spacious venue to open a portal. I let him explore the map."

Batman nodded. He felt that being a teammate with this Shiler also had benefits. Whether true or false, the other party always gave an answer, not playing the trick of saying half and leaving half.

"Then let's seriously explore the next plan." Batman said, "Logically speaking, the Batman of this universe is also on the invitation list of Battleworld. Why do you think he didn't go?"

"It is more likely that the invitation letter sent by Battleworld disappeared due to all kinds of humorous reasons." Shiler said very clearly, "Maybe the postman fell into a ditch, or maybe it was taken away by a dog."

Batman was speechless.

"I must point out that even the universe where the Batman who has already participated is located is possible to become a dungeon. When the time comes, you will receive an invitation letter in the mail."

"In order not to let your world be messed up by this group of people, you must go back and be the gatekeeper, deciding what this group of strange visitors from other worlds can do in your universe."

Shiler revealed an unprecedented piece of news. This wasn't written in any introduction words, and the main universe Batman hadn't seen any similar situation in the dungeon.

"But your situation is special." Shiler changed the subject and said, "Your universe cannot be messed with, otherwise it is easy to have big problems, so they might not have added your universe to the card pool. You and all the contestants in your universe should not need to guard the gate."

Batman frowned slightly. This was a good thing out of caution, but in fact, he was also at a loss, because if there was a group of powerful visitors from other worlds appearing in his universe, he could borrow them to do some things he couldn't do or couldn't achieve.

"But this is unfair to you." Shiler said, clearly his view was consistent with Batman's. He shook his head and continued, "So you might receive a compensation email."

"Is it me who has it, or do all the contestants in our universe have it?"

"It should be all of them." Shiler said, "The big world opposite also has a universe that cannot be messed with. The compensation you received is the same."

Batman started thinking about the information revealed by Shiler. If there was compensation, it was acceptable, but it depended on what the compensation was. Batman didn't think it would be ordinary materials, otherwise Shiler wouldn't need to bring this matter up separately. Since he brought it up, it must be useful.

"I don't know what the specific compensation is now. In order to avoid suspicion, it was formulated by some people who didn't participate in the game." Shiler said, "But I suspect it won't be ordinary materials, but should be some kind of permission."

"Xu Kequan?" Batman seemed very interested in this vocabulary.

"You might feel that it is unfair for us, the constructors of the game, to also participate in the competition. After all, we know the structure of the entire game, and even know the situation of many dungeons. The starting point is naturally much higher than others."

"But in fact, it's not that simple. Each dungeon is not just a game, it is a real universe. What they can get from a universe is much more than many people imagine, and the most important of which is permission."

"Suppose a Batman who has never left Earth in a dungeon game comes into contact with the manager of this universe and obtains some universe permission from the manager's hands. Can he be called a god in this universe?"

Batman seemed to realize something immediately and said, "So, the contestants will soon realize this, and their purpose may change from the beginning of obtaining resources and benefiting their own universe to competing for power and becoming gods of other universes."

"Yes, in order to prevent this situation from happening, there will be a rule of guarding the gate. The gatekeeper needs to prevent the situation from expanding and guard the order of his own universe."

"My universe won't have such a situation. Logically speaking, it's a good thing, but I received compensation." Batman said in a low voice.

"Besides you not being able to use them to do things, there is actually the most important point: they cannot become enemies of your universe. Note, it is the enemy of the whole universe."

Batman suddenly realized something. His face became solemn. He thought, yes, visitors from other worlds are almost enemies of the whole universe. Even Darkseid would not allow these outsiders to mess around on his turf.

This means one thing, that is, all other universes that can be invaded will welcome enemies of the whole universe at a certain point in time, and these enemies come from various different universes and have various magical abilities, clearly very powerful, and cannot be dealt with by a single force or two.

This will definitely force all kinds of creatures within the universe to unite. Whether it is Earth, Apokolips, Mount Olympus, or those strange planes of the magic world, once they feel the threat of outsiders, no matter whether they are willing or not, they have to choose to join forces.

This will promote a reshuffling of forces within the universe, possibly with technological cooperation and upgrades, the fusion and change of patterns, and even the replacement of power levels.

And if there is no such external enemy, the evolution speed of the universe might be much slower. At least Batman can't think of anything other than these outsiders that would make him and Darkseid choose to cooperate.

From this point of view, he lost a lot.

That's why the compensation would be something as important as universe permission, Batman thought. Shiler should be reminding him implicitly or explicitly. The permission given to him should be quite useful, otherwise it wouldn't be able to make up for such a big loss for him.

Then he brought it up now, is it because he wants to cooperate?

Batman looked at Shiler and said, "What do you want me to do? Make an offer."

"Don't rush. I don't know what the permission is now. I have one request: send me a message as soon as you receive the compensation email." ===== CHAPTER 2861 =====
