Chapter 2861: The Great Battle of the Lego Minifigures! (26)

"Except for me, all universes have the possibility of becoming dungeons. In this way, your universe is also the same?" Batman asked.

"Yes, we were well prepared before we came. Not to be modest, the situation in our universe is much better than most universes now. The large and small forces in the universe have basically been settled, so it doesn't matter whether the external enemy comes or not."

Batman immediately realized that Shiler was referring to the universe of his other big world, but he didn't care about this. He said, "I'm talking about the universe where Arrogance is."

"Him? You don't have to worry about that." Shiler shook his head and said, "This is exactly a part of Bruce's plan. It was he who proposed to mix in the universes of the contestants."

Batman immediately reacted and said, "Is the economic or political situation in the universe where Arrogance is bad now?"

He felt that if Bruce chose to do so, it could only be like this, because only when the situation was not very good would it be necessary to have an external enemy to unite people's hearts.

"Economic crisis." Shiler said, "The United States is encountering a Great Depression that is rare in a hundred years, and the Soviet Union hasn't died yet, and Europe hasn't died completely, so the balance is tilting."

Batman is the person who knows best what kind of virtue the United States is, but even if he doesn't consider it as an American, but from an objective point of view, the ending is the same whether the Soviet Union or Europe becomes the superpower.

By that era, the Soviet Union and the United States were no different, so no matter which one became the only pole, the future of the world situation was a visible tragedy. The best situation was still a tripod, and if possible, the more feet, the better.

But now the United States has suffered heavy losses, although it has also implicated the whole world, but if someone falls into the trap at this time, and really breaks the United States, then the imbalance is sooner or later.

To return to balance, counting on other countries to be kind is impossible. After all, the United States has been perverse for so many years. If they don't fall into the trap, they should be powerless.

So the best way is to involve the attention of other countries, let the United States breathe a sigh of relief first, so that it will not make the balance side too heavy, nor will it lead to the United States jumping over the wall in a hurry, turning the Cold War into a hot war.

This external enemy is clearly the outsider of Battleworld.

Bruce's plan is not small, Batman thought. He might want to take this opportunity to thoroughly integrate all the countries on his Earth. Even if he can't achieve a United Earth, he must at least have a confederation system.

In this way, the outsiders going to this dungeon must be carefully selected. If the strength is too low, it will not constitute a threat. If the strength is too high, it is easy to ruin the Earth. If the moral level is too high, it cannot form pressure. If the moral level is too low, it is easy to be difficult to recover.

Batman calculated in his heart and immediately realized who Bruce was aiming at. He looked at Shiler and asked tentatively, "Owlman?"

"He is one of them." Shiler nodded. He didn't tell Batman that what Bruce was looking at was actually the entire Crime Syndicate, and Owlman was just the leader among them.

"The risk is too high." Batman seemed to have guessed it himself. He sighed and said, "He is so sure that he can manipulate a half-crazy Batman?"

"Not to mention a half-crazy one, even a completely crazy one, he wouldn't not want to try." Shiler lowered his voice. He stared into Batman's eyes and said, "I have different opinions on this crazy idea of his, but you know I can't say it directly."

Batman frowned slightly. After such a long contact, he also had some understanding of the relationship between the personality traits of Shiler. In general, these two who often float up are the most complex.

Neither of them likes the other to interfere with the universe they are responsible for, and their views on their own universe and the means of maintaining the universe are also different.

From the surface, Greed is more radical, having settled almost all the big and small things in the universe in the same amount of time.

Arrogance here is more conservative. For such a long time, there has been no progress, the map exploration is not much, and there is almost no contact with most forces outside the Earth, even the Mount Olympus that is close at hand has almost never dealt with it.

But in fact, Batman can see the essence through the phenomenon. Greed is actually the more conservative one. He chooses to advance step by step, step by step, improving in all aspects.

And Arrogance is not so much moving forward at a turtle's pace, but rather he has been waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback, an explosive eruption.

So it is clearly the former that is more conservative, while the latter is like a gambler, hoarding all the chips, just waiting for an all-in.

It seems that this external threat plan formulated by Bruce is the pass that Arrogance has been waiting for. He poured so much energy into Bruce, which is to wait for this qualitative change one day.

But Batman can also fully understand Greed's worries. This risk is too high. It can be said that all the chips are pressed on Bruce. If his manipulation has any mistakes, it will be a total loss.

In terms of reason and emotion, Batman does not agree with Arrogance doing this, but there is also a saying that blood is thicker than water. Arrogance's student is Bruce, and he has such certainty about him, so Batman, or even Greed, has no way to interfere directly.

"Do you want me to explore Bruce's reality now?" Batman also looked at Shiler and said, "Even without testing, I can accurately tell you that he is mostly a facade now."

"Impossible, he must have a backup." Shiler said very firmly, "He is not unaware of Arrogance's thoughts. If he fails this time, he won't even think about graduating in his life."

"So he actually hasn't graduated yet?"

"It's a long way from a doctoral degree, but if he succeeds, maybe there will be great hope."

Batman touched his chin and said, "If this is the case, he might take it seriously, but I really can't see where his trump card is."

Shiler looked at Batman with suspicious eyes. Batman paused and said, "I didn't lie to you, nor did I deliberately not want to say. The first time I saw him, he showed that he had completely attracted Owlman's attention. He seemed very skilled, simply like a manipulation master, but you and I both know this is far from enough."

"Using this group of criminals to integrate the Earth he is in is no different from dancing on the tip of a knife. If it were me, I would even change everyone's brain and turn them into puppets."

"Just some attention, it can't reach the effect he wants at all, and it's far from the safety line. So maybe, that's not his good card." Batman said while thinking, "If it were me... no, can't substitute me. Arrogance's student is not a normal Batman, he is crazier than a lunatic."

Batman shut his mouth and thought for a few seconds. Suddenly, he raised his eyelids and looked at Shiler, saying, "Is there another Joker in that universe?"

Shiler nodded. Batman thought thoughtfully, "I guess that Joker will be his trump card."

"I didn't see anything special about Jack." Shiler said, "But if the strength of Joker and Batman is bound, then he might really have some skills we don't know."

"Are there any special events in Arrogance's universe recently?"

"Haven't heard of it."

"Then you probably have to go back and ask." Batman said, "Jack will never be a simple Joker. If he is a backup prepared by Bruce for himself, making him have such confidence to directly lead a team of criminals to his own universe, then the power he masters might be more outrageous than you imagine."

Shiler also knew that being able to deduce these with limited information was already Batman's talent.

Tim didn't know what they were chatting about, so he just drank coffee on the side and watched the monitor. The process of passing the 5th level was indeed not very exciting, but it was still thrilling and interesting.

"It's time to delve into the plan of this universe." Shiler said, "If the Batman of this universe was originally on the invitation list, he can still go to Battleworld, but we have to find a way to find his invitation letter."

"You want to bring him out, why?"

"He will come in handy." Shiler said, "Don't forget the style of this universe. Usually, he might only add chaos, but if it comes to the end of the road, he is the only breakthrough point."

"In this way, we can also bring the Joker out and let him add chaos to other teams." Batman immediately thought, "Then it's better to let all the criminals in Arkham Asylum go to their respective teams."

"That's the best." Shiler said, "I'm not sure if the so-called recycling plan of this universe is really implemented, or just a clever misunderstanding. If it's the latter, then Thomas and Martha are likely still alive."

"Lego version?"

"Don't worry about whether it's the Lego version first, just say whether they are Thomas and Martha." Shiler said, "And they are better than your parents in that they are Lego minifigures, they come with a humorous attribute, basically afraid of everything, possessing your parents' souls, and not afraid of being kidnapped and threatened."

Batman immediately understood. This might be the price Shiler was willing to pay, but this couldn't help but move Batman. What Shiler said made sense.

The current Thomas and Martha are in the main universe. If there are no accidents, they will stay there during the Battleworld period to prevent being caught by outsiders when going to other universes.

This might be the only pair of Batman's parents in the multiverse. If they are really kidnapped, it will be a threat to all Batmen.

But if they can find the Lego-made Thomas and Martha of this universe and bring them back to the base where Batman is, they can better unite the Batmen, and even some seemingly evil Batmen are not impossible to win over. After all, the source of all Batmen's tragedies is the death of their parents.

And Lego-made parents also have advantages. First, they are basically fearless of physical damage. Even if they are broken into parts, they can be pieced back together. Although chemical damage is a bit troublesome, Batman has the confidence to give them a layer of protection, making them fearless of chemical corrosion, plus life factors that can slowly repair limbs, it can almost be said that they are immortal.

In this way, there is no need to worry about someone catching them and using them to threaten the Batmen, plus their own humorous attributes, maybe they can make the kidnapper steal a chicken but lose the rice.

Looking at Shiler's glowing eyes, Batman tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Not enough, I need more information."
