Chapter 3611: Injustice League (Part 11)

"God, what happened!" Seeing the unconscious Hal, Clark hurriedly rushed over.

"We encountered a sneak attack by the enemy's robots while covering the rear," Superman said, "Hal was low on energy and was hit by a shell, and passed out."

Clark sighed and said: "Hurry and help him in to rest."

Bruce complained on the side: "We've only been here for a short while, and we've already lost one and injured one..."

"Alright," Oliver walked over and said, "We came to help in the first place. Participating in battle will always lead to injuries. Let's go see Hal first."

Clark and Bruce didn't argue further upon hearing this, and followed Oliver to the room where Hal was resting.

Superman, however, took this opportunity to come to the lower level. Seeing that the room where Wonder Woman had been locked up was already empty, he knew Wonder Woman must have run away while the Green Lantern energy was weak.

But just at this moment, Batman appeared at the end of the corridor. He looked at Superman and said: "You let her go."

Superman didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt for being exposed; he just nodded and said: "You know those people have bad intentions."

"You let her go, not to prevent them, right?"

"Since you know I'm doing it to guard against you, you should have some self-awareness," Superman walked forward without showing weakness, staring into Batman's eyes, "No matter what, I want to save Lois. You'd better negotiate terms with them properly, don't play any tricks."

"Actually, I'm very curious," Batman's speaking speed was slow and leisurely, not sounding nervous at all. He said, "If the resurrected Lois knew about these things you did, seeing our world now, what would she think?"

"Time reversal will take us directly back to the past. Everything will return to the way it was at the beginning."

"So you don't want to retain your memories?"

Superman's expression collapsed instantly. He stared fixedly at Batman and said: "Why would you think I want to retain my memories? Do you think this is some kind of beautiful memory for me?!"

"I thought you liked ruling Earth very much," Batman said, "You can forget all of this without any burden, acting as if nothing happened. That's certainly very good. But I won't do that."

"Why?"

"You know this can't be treated as if it didn't happen. I'm not just referring to these things on our Earth. During this period, we had contact with the outside world. If we just lose our memories like this, then all this information will be gone too."

"Is this really that important?"

"Clark, you're not a child of only a few years old. Don't use beautiful dreams to numb yourself. Today there is Brainiac invading Earth, tomorrow there will be someone else. If we abandon all information outside the universe and act as if we know nothing, then if there are other invaders like this coming, who else can we find to help?"

"Who cares about you," Superman said, "I will go back to the past and then forget all of this."

"But at that time, you won't be my match," Batman looked at him and said, "I know you ruled Earth, know that you will cause such a disaster one day. What do you think I will do to that you who lost your memory?"

Superman's expression became very ugly. He finally understood Batman's meaning. He was beating around the bush here, nothing more than saying: "If I choose not to forget, then don't you think about forgetting either."

Superman was very angry, but he was helpless, because he knew Batman would definitely choose to retain his memories. And if he retained his memories, while he forgot, that innocent self of his couldn't possibly beat Batman.

And the Batman who hadn't lost his memory had witnessed how he ruled Earth with extreme violent means; he would definitely not be reassured. He might even go directly to imprison that Superman who hadn't lost his memory. He and Lois still wouldn't be able to live happily together.

"I can go help you negotiate with them," Batman said, "But I will only ask them to return to the time point when Lois died and bring her over."

"No!!" Superman roared immediately, "You can't do that!!"

"Why?"

"You..." Superman was speechless for a moment.

"Why don't you want Lois to come to the present? You can still get married, have children, and live happily together."

"You know!"

"Know what?" Batman took another step forward, looked at Superman and said, "Know that Lois actually doesn't want you to kill? Know that Lois doesn't want this world to become like this? Or do I know—Lois will be very disappointed in you?"

BANG!

Superman punched Batman in the face. Of course, he controlled his strength. He didn't want to kill Batman, he was just too angry.

Batman tilted his head, touched his cheek and said: "You don't dare to do that, which proves that you know in your heart that all of this is wrong."

"I'm not wrong!" Superman stared at him, slowly retreated a few steps, and then said, "I'm not wrong, no one can judge me!"

After finishing, he flew out of the window. Batman just stared quietly at his back, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

In the room where Hal was resting, he didn't have the slightest paleness of having just passed out, but lazily yawned, leaned on the pillow and said: "I went to see, the Brainiac of this universe is ridiculously weak, weaker than the one in our universe."

"Just those robots he made, I could dismantle them with one hand, and even that spaceship of his doesn't have any defense function against Green Lanterns. I could even decompose the spaceship directly."

"Not strange," Clark stood by the wall with his arms crossed and said, "The Superman and Batman of this universe are not strong. Especially Superman, he really feels quite weak, don't know if it's because the sun wasn't enough."

"They have called people from other universes to help before," Bruce seemed to be checking some Battleworld information, and then said, "The final result was that the Superman of this universe didn't beat the others, and then was locked up. This shows that his level is definitely weaker than most Supermen."

"Doesn't matter, anyway, what we're looking at isn't his martial arts level," Oliver said, "It's quite good that they are a bit weak."

"About Lois..." Clark opened his mouth somewhat hesitantly, but soon stopped talking.

"Of course I know you want to save her," Hal said, "After all, Lois is indeed a completely innocent victim. But I think you also know, even if you save her back, if you don't solve the conflict between Superman and Batman, it's all in vain."

"So in the end, we will save her back, right?"

"I think Barry should have already marked the point," Bruce said, "Wait until the problem between Superman and Batman is solved, then go fish Lois back."

"Then she and Superman will have a lot to argue about," Clark shook his head and said, "I know Lois; to a certain extent, she hates evil even more than I do. If she knew I almost destroyed the world for her, she would definitely dump me."

"But the Superman and Lois of this universe should be married, right?"

"That can also end in divorce," Clark sighed and said, "If Lois really picks a fight with Superman for divorce, then that would be a huge show."

"I heard Metropolis was also destroyed," Hal said, "How about this, next time we go to Brainiac's spaceship, let's see if we can get that collection engine, let Barry take it back to the past to save Metropolis, and then put it in the present. That way, maybe the conflict between the two of them won't be that big."

"Whether it's possible to carry such a large mass through time is still an unknown. But I can let Barry try," Bruce said, "And that collection engine is also useful to us. Getting it over is good too."

"I'm increasingly feeling like we're a marriage mediation office," Hal adjusted the pillow behind his back and said, "Hope these people appreciate our favor."

On the other side, Superman found Wonder Woman who had run out. Wonder Woman grabbed his arm very anxiously and said: "That was really framed by those people, I didn't kill anyone! You must believe me."

"Even if you killed him, so what? Don't tell me you also want to preach some no-killing theory like that Batman?"

Wonder Woman opened her mouth, but in the end, didn't say anything. She looked at Superman and asked: "When can I go back?"

"Not in a hurry. Batman decided to go talk to the outsiders..."

"Don't tell me you still believe Batman?!"

"I don't believe him, but I have no other way; can you go talk to them? You've already witnessed how cunning they are. However..." Superman paused for a moment and then said, "We have to find a way to get something on Brainiac's spaceship."

"What thing?"

"Brainiac possesses a technology that can mentally control others. I need the technology on his spaceship."

"Then when are we going?"

"We have to wait. Batman needs to prepare."

"Batman is going too?! Why is that? Don't tell me he can be of any help?"

"Do you understand technology?"

"Uh..." Wonder Woman was speechless for a moment.

"I don't understand either," Superman said, "I don't even know what form this technology exists in. Is it a blueprint, a machine, or some code. Without Batman, we can't accept whatever technological legacy Brainiac has."

"Don't tell me you want to take that thing to control Batman? Then if he knows, won't he have some precautions?"

Superman seemed to have a headache from Wonder Woman's stupidity, and he said: "Our biggest problem now is not Batman! It's that damn group of outsiders and the time-reversal technology in their hands! To negotiate with them, we must have chips..."

"But what we discussed before, wasn't it to find a way to detain them..."

"I received the latest news, the key to time reversal doesn't lie with these people at all. The most critical person didn't come, and it's also very difficult to force him to submit with threats. We can only talk."

"But you let Batman go talk to them, he will definitely lie to you! He is just opposing you for the sake of opposing you..."

"But at least he is useful to me," Superman turned around and stared coldly at Wonder Woman, "You'd better be too."

After finishing, he turned and left. When he returned to the base, Batman acted as if nothing had happened, nodded at him and said: "I'm almost ready, when are we leaving?"

"Right now," Superman said, "Diana is coming up with us. Although she doesn't have much of a brain, at least she can fight; it's good to help us drag down a few robots."

"Also true. Can't leave her alone on Earth, otherwise she'll definitely go look for trouble with those people again," Batman rarely reached a consensus with Superman.

After the two of them left, Clark's ears twitched, and then he said: "They're gone, should be heading toward the spaceship."

"We'll follow behind them. They'll definitely cause some chaos on the spaceship, so we can take the opportunity to steal the collection engine," Hal stood up and said.

"Don't forget our plan," Bruce smiled and said, "Get ready to take action."
