Chapter 3811

~11 min read 2,128 words

Another night. Just after finishing dinner in the restaurant and preparing to return to the dormitory, Arkham Batman was called by Main Universe Batman. The two walked side by side in the corridor. Main Universe Batman turned his head to look at Arkham Batman and whispered, "Do you feel Owlman is a bit strange today?"

"Seems like it." Arkham Batman said, "The look in his eyes when he looks at you is a bit wrong, his desire to attack is too strong, and he even dares to look at me twice. This is very abnormal."

"What do you think is wrong with him?"

"It seems your plan to send Iron Man to interrupt their learning progress didn't succeed." Arkham Batman said, "He definitely learned something from Schiller... wait a minute, how could Schiller teach him real skills?"

"That's the problem." Main Universe Batman said, "Owlman thinks the special power he obtained was given to him by Schiller, but Schiller isn't a mage and doesn't understand contracts at all. So if Owlman really completed the contract, how did he do it?"

"Although Schiller isn't a mage, he has a good relationship with the Sorcerer Supreme and might not necessarily not know those demon gods. If he acted as a go-between... no, the Sorcerer Supreme couldn't let Schiller mess around in this regard. If he wanted to let outside demon gods contract students in the school, then he must relax the control over the school and let the demon god's power enter the school. But the Sorcerer Supreme wouldn't allow such things to happen; this is a bottom-line issue."

"So now there are two possibilities." Main Universe Batman said, "Either Schiller really persuaded the Sorcerer Supreme, or Owlman didn't contract any demon god at all."

"You mean the power he obtained will go wrong?" Arkham Batman frowned.

"What on earth is going on, we'll know if we try." Main Universe Batman said, "If he really obtained power, he will inevitably go to the Magic Forest to test it. Let's go there tonight."

"Won't it be too risky?" Arkham Batman said, "What if he really takes action against us?"

"So it can't be just us going; I'll go call Bruce."

Main Universe Batman parted ways with Arkham Batman at the corner of the corridor and came to the door of the Mercury Academy dormitory, just happening to block Bruce who was about to walk out.

"Are you looking for me for something?" Bruce looked in a bad mood.

"Failed to take advantage of the situation, right?" Main Universe Batman mercilessly exposed Bruce and said, "You wanted to manipulate Owlman when I was suppressing him, making his state worse, and even falling into a desperate situation. But you didn't expect that I introduced Schiller as a variable, and Owlman didn't fall into a desperate situation but was about to turn the tables. Then why not listen to my next plan."

Bruce pursed his lips and didn't answer, just taking it as tacitly agreeing with Main Universe Batman's guess. He said, "You shouldn't have involved Dr. Schiller; he is a very dangerous person. In my opinion, much more dangerous than the professor. The variables he brings are no good for you."

"What makes you think I don't understand his danger?" Main Universe Batman's tone remained flat, and he said, "If a bomb is destined to explode, what a smart person should do is push my enemy to the place closest to the bomb. Isn't that right?"

"You succeeded." Bruce's tone remained unchanged, and he said, "But whether I can manipulate Owlman is not important to me."

"Sour grapes."

"Tell me what you want to do." Bruce appeared quite impatient and said, "If you talk nonsense again, I won't accompany you."

"Owlman might have obtained new power from Schiller, but we think there's a problem with this matter. He might go to the Magic Forest tonight to test his new power; you come with us."

"Why should I..."

"Either we beat him half to death, or he beats us half to death. Don't you want to go and watch the fun?"

Bruce was speechless. He thought, he really wanted to.

"Very well, you win." Bruce said, "If you beat him half to death, I'll rush out to save him; if he beats you half to death, I'll go back to school to call people. Is that it?"

"That's right." Main Universe Batman nodded and said, "Of course, it's best to call another witness, so he doesn't deny it."

The two only walked a short distance before they finished discussing, and then they parted ways. When Bruce returned to the dormitory, he just bumped into Owlman walking this way. Bruce leaned against the stairwell and sized up Owlman, but Owlman clearly had something on his mind and didn't notice his gaze.

As Owlman brushed past him, Bruce shrugged his nose lightly, revealing a look of realization.

"So it was a devil who fought Lucifer in the Magic Forest that day. However, Owlman doesn't look happy about having his revenge, but rather still looks a bit annoyed. There will really be a good show to watch tonight."

The night was cool like water, and it was even more humid in the Magic Forest. Owlman walked toward the lake with deep and shallow steps. Even though he had already obtained power, he still felt very thirsty, his desire burning, and he had to soak in cool water to feel a bit better.

Moreover, this damn power wasn't easy to control at all, didn't listen to his commands, and couldn't be used like other mages. Saphir said this was a normal phenomenon, but if it couldn't be controlled, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

He had to solve Main Universe Batman and Arkham Batman as soon as possible, otherwise, who knew how many bad tricks they had waiting for him?

Owlman entered the lake water. This lake was very large; as long as he swam to the center of the lake, he could release his power unscrupulously. As long as he practiced more, he would definitely be able to do it as easily as moving his arms.

Soaking in the lake water, he began to constantly expand Mephisto's power to the surroundings, sometimes turning into a sword blade to slash over, sometimes like a heavy hammer, smashing ripples on the water surface. But the intensity was always hard to control; either the thunder was loud but the rain was small, or it caused an explosion even though he clearly didn't use force.

Main Universe Batman and Arkham Batman, hiding behind a tree and watching all this, exchanged a look. Sure enough, the power Owlman got was problematic. A normal mage shouldn't be like this.

Because they skipped grades, they could communicate with more great mages. The great mages no longer avoided talking to them about demon gods. In the conversation, the great mages often emphasized one thing, that is: it's not humans praying to demon gods for power, but both sides cooperating, each having what they want.

Human souls are very special to demon gods, but they are always blocked by the Earth's magic defense network. So agents became a very important communication channel. Without special circumstances, demon gods would absolutely not toss their agents around; even for the sake of the Sorcerer Supreme, they would make their power listen obediently.

Owlman's current situation was clearly that the demon god didn't like him and insisted on making his power go against him, which would lead to frequent loss of control of the power.

Despite this, Main Universe Batman and Arkham Batman still waited for a while, until Owlman had released most of his power and was preparing to go ashore, before walking out from behind the tree.

"Why are you here?!" Owlman retreated a step vigilantly, then reacted that his actions just now might have already been seen by them.

"I didn't expect you to have completed the contract." Main Universe Batman said, "What do you think the Sorcerer Supreme will think?"

Owlman's fists clenched in an instant. He had already walked to this step; he absolutely couldn't let Main Universe Batman ruin his good deeds.

Flames ignited suddenly, burning in the air, making crackling explosion sounds. Main Universe Batman and Arkham Batman instantly dodged to both sides. The two's throwing stars were thrown almost at the same time, but were blocked by a blood-red shield.

Owlman revealed an extremely evil smile and said: "No matter what, I have obtained more powerful strength than you. You have no chance to find the Sorcerer Supreme."

After speaking, raging flames ignited, and for a moment, Owlman seemed to have split into many shadows. The smell of ashes permeated, and Main Universe Batman and Arkham Batman had to stand back to back, guarding against sneak attacks in the darkness.

Countless ashes floated, obscuring their vision. Suddenly, a crack split open on the ground, magma gushed out, forming a large hand and slapping toward them. The two dodged again, but those ashes floating in the air were like sharp knives, cutting toward their vital parts.

Main Universe Batman used his arm to block, and in a moment, his arm was cut into a bloody mess. Arkham Batman bent down and hid in the bushes, not being hurt by the ashes. He pulled Main Universe Batman, and the two hid behind a large tree together.

"This is trouble." Although Main Universe Batman said so, there wasn't much tension in his tone.

Arkham Batman looked back, and sure enough, there was a bit of holy light behind the floating ashes; it should be Bruce who came. But Bruce didn't show up, clearly not intending to save them, just intending to watch the fun.

"Shall we go?" Arkham Batman asked.

Main Universe Batman shook his head and said: "Still have to probe his bottom line. Can you find him?"

"No problem." Arkham Batman concentrated, and soon, behind another tree only two or three meters away from them, he captured a faint heartbeat.

Instantly, three throwing stars were thrown. One hit the tree first, forcing Owlman out; the other two went straight for the other party's face. As soon as Owlman walked out, he faced the cold light of the throwing stars; he reacted a bit slowly, and even though he rolled to the side to dodge, his eyelid was cut open by a throwing star.

"Uh..."

Blood flowed down, entering his eyes, destroying half of his vision. Arkham Batman, however, had already jumped onto this tree like a vigorous cheetah, leaped down from the blind spot of the upper right vision, and tackled Owlman to the ground. Immediately following were three punches, and the other eye was also hit until the vision went black.

Owlman let out an angry roar, using magic power to flip Arkham Batman over. But as soon as the other party landed, it was another sweeping leg; Owlman hadn't even had time to crawl up before he lay down again, his waist was kicked heavily again, and he rolled several times on the ground.

"You bunch of... you bunch of bastards!!!" He gritted his teeth and cursed, "I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!!"

He didn't care whether he could control so much power anymore, and a huge magic power instantly erupted around his body, and raging flames burned within a ten-meter range around him.

"Oh no, he's going to lose control." Arkham Batman said, "Run!"

But it was already too late. Those energies that Owlman forcibly summoned weren't released smoothly, but were compressed in his body, and triggered a violent explosion.

"BOOM!!!"

Strange, who was meditating in the principal's office, was almost shaken off the couch. He hurriedly stood up and rushed to the window, looking at the collapsed trees in the Magic Forest, dumbfounded: "Why did it explode again? Is the feng shui of this Magic Forest bad? Why do problems occur every three days? If this continues, can the movie really be released as scheduled?"

"Wait." Strange knocked on his head. "Now it's not a movie problem. Who blew up the Magic Forest? It wouldn't be Mephisto again, would it?"

Strange couldn't care about much, flew directly to the explosion site, and then saw Batmen lying all over the ground there.

He knew it! He knew it was this group of Batmen who were playing tricks!

Strange was not lightly angry. But anger was anger, he still hurriedly saved people, used magic to scoop everyone up, and then took them to the school infirmary.

Schiller actually hadn't slept yet today, helping him put all the Batmen on hospital beds. After Strange left, Schiller looked at the room full of Batmen and revealed a satisfied smile.
