"If you must do this, I don't suggest you be too straightforward. Moving with emotion and reasoning with logic is of course the best. If you can't, don't tear your face off too early, otherwise, it will easily put us in a passive position." Green Lantern shook his head and said.

"I know, of course." Superman's tone seemed to contain a storm. He put his hands on the table, crossed his fingers and said, "If they know our intentions, they will never agree. We also cannot use force to coerce them."

"Why not?" Wonder Woman asked.

At this time, Batman, who was using monitoring equipment to monitor the situation in the conference room, realized that the Diana from the previous universe was right. The Wonder Woman in this universe had problems; besides her inexplicable stance, her IQ also had problems.

"Because they possess the power of time." Flash said, "People who possess this power are very powerful; if they are really as you say, able to backtrack universe time without limit, then we cannot be their opponents."

"You also claim to possess the power of time." Wonder Woman said, "But you haven't achieved anything either."

"That's completely different." Flash said, "What I possess is the Speed Force, not real time. I also have no way to modify the past. Do you think I haven't tried?"

Wonder Woman looked away, appearing a bit disdainful. Superman continued: "I don't want to expose my intentions at the beginning, this will make them extra defensive. I hope they are best using this power to protect themselves."

"Also true, if they come to deal with Brainiac, but fall into danger, and have to use the power of backtracking time to save themselves, that can't be considered us having designs on them." Wonder Woman said again.

Batman in the room sighed. Superman had better not really want to do this, but looking at the situation, even if he didn't want to do this, Wonder Woman would persuade him to do so.

But this is very stupid, completely treating the opposite side as fools. But unfortunately, the opposite side's intelligence is intact, and can even be said to be exceptionally smart.

Negotiating with smart people requires interest exchange. It can be said that as long as the interest is big enough, it's not that they won't help.

So what Batman has been worried about is the consequence of backtracking time, not whether the other party will help backtrack time. He knows completely what the opposite side wants, it's just that he doesn't want to give it, so he doesn't go out, using silence to express his protest.

But now it seems that the group of people sitting outside can't even see this point. They are still thinking about obtaining the other party's power through deception and fooling, but this simply won't work.

Originally, if they broke off negotiations, it would be a good thing for Batman, but it wasn't that simple at all, because Batman had long seen that the opposite side was not the "Justice" League.

Compared to his own group of cute and stupid companions, the other side was the real Injustice League.

They were not like the Justice League of other universes, following the rules and having justice in their hearts. Their mouths were about principles, their hearts were all about business, and they were vengeful, showing a kind of evil and madness deeper than super criminals.

Fooling them is not a good idea.

Should he go out and tell them the consequences of doing so, and save the situation as much as possible, or continue to stay here and wait for them to break off negotiations before cleaning up the mess? The balance in Batman's heart swayed constantly.

But just at this time, the flash of inspiration of the stupid emitted an even more dazzling light.

"If they used the method of time backtracking to deal with Brainiac in their universe, and did it many times, that means they couldn't defeat Brainiac head-on. Perhaps we can utilize this point." Wonder Woman said.

Batman felt that he couldn't think of how this logic was established even if he thought for three days and three nights. But no one present raised any objection. The silence coming from the monitoring equipment made Batman gradually begin to re-recognize the human species.

"I think we can pretend to go deal with Brainiac with them, and then retreat at the critical moment. They will be forced into a corner by Brainiac, and naturally, they will use that power to backtrack time."

"But they won't backtrack to the correct time point." Flash glanced at Superman and said, "No need to backtrack to as early as we need."

"Perhaps we can interfere with them." Wonder Woman said.

Now Batman also fell silent. This remark was almost equivalent to "perhaps we can interfere with a nuclear bomb in flight."

Superman hadn't spoken, Batman thought he had other strategies. This wasn't a good phenomenon, the other party finally started using his super brain. His starting point was good, but he had better not start.

"They will come soon." Superman said, "I hope you can behave more enthusiastically, and it's best if no one lets anything slip."

Superman scanned the room and said: "... I can hear it, you know."

"We stand united by your side, naturally we will help you. You need to be careful about Batman." Wonder Woman said, "If you don't keep him under watch, he might tell the other party all our plans."

"And then laugh them to death?" Batman thought in his heart, "Sounds like something the Joker would do."

"He locked you up before, you locking him up once is nothing impossible." Wonder Woman said, "At least don't let him have the opportunity to contact them. What do you think?"

"You cannot imprison Batman!" Flash said.

"But this is for Earth." Wonder Woman raised her voice and said, "Before, he locked up Superman for Earth's safety. Now for Earth's safety, why can't he be locked up? Does he only sacrifice others?"

"I don't understand whether you are thinking for Earth's safety, or for your own selfish desires." Flash slapped the table hard and said, "Why can't you learn to accept those things that have already happened, learn to learn lessons, learn to keep a clear head?!"

"Well said." Batman thought in his heart, "Unfortunately, it's of no use."

"Sit down, Barry!" Superman looked at him and said, "There's no place for you to speak here."

"You don't think I'll listen to you, you cruel executioner! You killed the Joker, you can say he is your enemy, then why did you kill Shazam?! He is innocent! He is still a child!!" Flash had already started roaring.

"I said, sit down!" A laser beam hit, and Flash disappeared instantly in the golden light.

Others stood up one after another, making a defensive state. Flash's attack was really hard to guard against, they couldn't help but be nervous.

But after waiting for a long time, that golden lightning didn't appear. Wonder Woman sneered and said: "A coward who flees in the face of battle! This is what Batman taught him."

Half a while later, Batman saw golden light appear in his field of vision. He didn't speak, because he was worried about being heard by Superman.

But what appeared in front of him wasn't the Flash he was familiar with, but another younger figure.

The light on Barry faded, followed by another golden figure chasing out. Flash appeared very nervous, he just wanted to say something, but Barry shook his head at him and pointed to the conference room next door.

Barry's hand pressed on the wall. Black-gold light spread out until it covered the surface of all the walls.

Batman saw that all the places touched by the black-gold intertwined light began to produce tiny debris. The light of the universe flickered in the debris, and then it gradually converged into cracks, as if the entire space had been cut off.

"Hello, Batman. Looks like you've encountered some trouble."

"Are you from your universe?"

"Yes, I'm here to scout the way, and by the way, to ask you."

"Ask me what?"

"We want to talk to you, but we only want to talk to you. Although it can't be said that Batman is more important than Superman, at the current stage, we need Batman's power more."

"What is this? An ultimatum?"

"Of course not. Besides you, we have other choices. After all, there are quite a few Batmen in the multiverse. We chose you because the universe you are in is waiting to be rebuilt, which fits our requirements very well."

"Do you know you sound like a cultist now?"

"I'm glad you still have the mood to joke." Barry said, "Perhaps the trip to our universe didn't really make you realize what kind of people we are."

"I don't need to know more either."

"You will know more, very soon."

After Barry left, Flash sat down beside Batman. He said: "He is very powerful, I was controlled by him almost in an instant. That kind of mysterious black power gives me a very bad feeling. Batman, you are right, Superman is inviting the wolf into the house."

Batman remained silent and didn't echo Flash. He was just thinking.

Barry can travel through time, and the Barry of that universe is exceptionally good at this. Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Batman could guess that it must have been Barry as the main force who backtracked the time of that universe.

After coming to this universe, has he been to the future? Did he see certain things happen after returning from the future, and then come to persuade himself?

Batman wasn't sure, but he knew that if this were really the case, certain things that would happen in the future would be very tragic.

If he stood out and talked to them now, perhaps there would be hope for a turnaround. But Batman didn't want to do this.

He knew what the Justice League of that universe wanted to talk to him about. Barry had already mentioned it, the Earth of this universe is waiting to be rebuilt.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the mess created by the previous Superman's tyranny is simply a big trouble. But Batman knows that stable order is difficult to shake, but if it is a mess, it is very simple to establish a new order.

The Justice League of that universe wants to help him rebuild order, but they certainly don't have such good intentions. They will definitely intervene and shape the order into what they want.

Will that be better for ordinary people? Batman doesn't know either, he is still thinking and hasn't made a decision.

This is not because he is not decisive enough, but because he realizes deeply that the impact this brings to their universe is far more profound than the surface.

Especially looking at the entire multiverse, if the Justice League of that universe reorganizes the order of this universe, it means Batman and they are on the same chariot. In the future, no matter which universe or organization in the multiverse he treats, Batman can only stand on their side.

This may not necessarily be a good thing, especially when Batman hasn't seen through them yet. His caution made him not make a decision so quickly.

But there is another possibility, they only want to talk to him, and if he doesn't talk, some idiots are going to bleed.

Batman doesn't know if it's his own selfish desire at work. He can only control himself as much as possible, don't think in that direction. He just needs time to think and make decisions, rather than letting things slide to take revenge on anyone.
