Chapter 3821

The day before setting off for the Arkham Batman world, Schiller entertained Lucifer in his office at the sanitarium. He placed a cup of coffee in front of Lucifer. Lucifer just rubbed the wall of the cup with his fingers, his expression somewhat listless.

"Director Chris is dragging you to discuss the War in Heaven again?" Schiller finds his expression somewhat amusing and says, "If you knew what he had said to me, you would feel your encounter is nothing."

"What did he say?"

"He said he wanted all my personality traits to go out one by one to discuss with him, so that he could find the most suitable one when performing."

Lucifer spits out a mouthful of coffee, which does indeed restore some of his spirit. He sighs and says: "The people in your universe are too crazy. I just want to go home now."

"Don't be in a hurry, there's one more thing I'd like to ask for your help with." Schiller says, "Do you have a Moon God on your side?"

"Moon God? You mean the kind in myths and legends? There shouldn't be, but Heaven has angels specifically responsible for celestial movements. Why ask this?"

"I want the status of a Moon God." Schiller says, "Simply put, it's to have the ability to control moonlight on your side."

Lucifer doesn't show any difficulty either; he just asks: "Why do you suddenly want to be a Moon God?"

"Batman came to me, hoping I could go over there to watch the place. But the identity of an ordinary person is inevitably not very deterrent. He hopes I can join the Justice League as a superhero, to facilitate his subsequent actions. I think Moon Knight is a good identity, don't you?"

"What kind of power do you specifically want?" Lucifer asks, "If it's controlling the celestial moon, I'm afraid it will be very difficult. You also know that Earth is the center of the universe, and the operating rules of any celestial body related to Earth are very important and cannot be easily changed."

"So I don't want to control the celestial moon, but just need the power of moonlight. Of course, this may inevitably lead to a certain change in the form of the celestial moon. But I guarantee I won't break the moon."

"Alright. Are you planning to give this power to Khonshu?"

"Why give it to Khonshu?" Schiller says as if he sees what he is thinking, "Although Khonshu is needed as a middleman in this universe, if you can give me power directly, why look for a middleman?"

"It's just that you might not be able to adapt to being a superpowered person." Lucifer says, "Controlling energy is not that simple. If possible, it's best to let others do it for you."

Schiller seems to have heard something; he stares at Lucifer tightly and says: "Don't tell me I also have a setting where I'll have bad luck if I touch superpowers or magic."

"That's not it." Lucifer shakes his head and says, "You have powerful muscle strength when your mental state is too poor. Then what happens when your mental state is too good?"

"What do you mean?"

"Energy pouring directly into your body might lead to your spirit being too excited, and then losing control. You shouldn't want to encounter this situation, right?"

"But I also obtained a lot of magic energy before."

"That wasn't actually obtained by you, but by the Gray Fog." Lucifer explains, "Whether you are willing to admit it or not, the anchoring relationship between the two of us has never been truly lifted. This will have many effects on you. For the life you want, most of them are not very good."

"No wonder your temper is so good in front of me."

"My temper has always been very good." Lucifer says, "Only the weak will be incompetently furious. Besides, I don't seem to have any reason to be angry with you."

"Is that so? Even if you returned to Heaven because of me?"

"This is different." Lucifer laughs and says, "Although you got me back into Heaven, you also got Bruce in there. That broken place is finally not as boring as it has been for tens of thousands of years. It's chaotic every day, which is quite interesting."

"Alright. Then how about giving it to the Gray Fog?" Schiller asks.

"Sure. But are you sure you only want the power of moonlight? Perhaps you can pick a more deterrent one. You can also go ask Nyarlathotep..."

"I am joining the Justice League." Schiller says somewhat helplessly, "Not invading the multiverse."

"You'd better not be." Lucifer rolls his eyes.

Cat Getan. In Arkham Knight's base, he stares at the image on the surveillance screen with a frown, looking completely puzzled.

"So you mean, I was just talking to myself there? There wasn't a second person from beginning to end?"

"Yes, Jason. Although I don't want to say it, if a can of beer makes you hallucinate, you'd better not drink in the future." Barbara's slightly worried voice comes from the headset.

"I didn't drink too much!"

"Drunkards all say that."

Arkham Knight clenches his fists, grabs the huge Batman doll next to him, punches it twice, and then says: "Did Batman call you?"

"No. He should be busy with Amazon diplomatic affairs recently. You also know that's Wonder Woman's hometown. He delayed his routine visit to the Amazon because of his visit to East Asian countries before, and Her Highness the Princess was already a bit dissatisfied. This time, the diplomatic level of 12 countries was raised, but the Amazon was not among them. Wonder Woman must be very angry. He has plenty of trouble to deal with."

"A small country that relies on tourism to get rich dares to compete with the Federation?" Arkham Knight is quite surprised and says, "They aren't all demigods on Themyscira, right? What kind of diplomatic level do they want? The kind where they exchange wedding rings?"

"Jason." Barbara's tone can't help but carry some complaints, and she says, "You must not be caught by reporters. If you accept an interview like this, Mr. President's work for the past six months will have been in vain."

"I'm not stupid, how could I say these things to reporters?" Arkham Knight raises his eyebrows and says, "I'm serious, how does Wonder Woman have the standing to criticize the President's diplomatic policy?"

"She isn't criticizing, she is just actively striving for it. You also know she has a high reputation internationally. The Amazon has also been actively standing on the side of the United States. After so many years, even if there's no credit, there's hard work. If the diplomatic status is shaken, international public opinion won't stand on our side."

Arkham Knight sighs slightly and says: "I don't believe Batman would really delay a routine visit because of a visit to another country. And isn't it just a verbal diplomatic level? If it's raised, it's raised; it's not like he's missing one. Why must he make things difficult for the Amazon?"

"I don't know about that." Barbara says.

Arkham Knight suddenly has a thought. He says: "Do you think it might have something to do with what he wants to do?"

"What he wants to do? You mean the thing that might intensify the internal conflict of the Justice League? In order to win Wonder Woman's support, he deliberately suppressed the Amazon?"

"I guess that should be it." Arkham Knight says, "He wasn't president before, so he was always frustrated in the Justice League. Sometimes Superman and Wonder Woman would unite to oppose him, and he had no way to deal with it. But now it's different. He holds the power."

Arkham Knight's tone becomes somewhat low, and his tone is also somewhat complex. He says: "Just adjust the agricultural policy of the central states a little, and Superman applauds him. Treat the Amazon coldly in diplomacy, and Wonder Woman has to smile and apologize to him. This is probably the joy of being president."

"I don't think Wonder Woman will give in because of this." Barbara clearly holds a different view, and she says, "When it comes to the bottom line, Wonder Woman won't change her mind because of the Amazon. But if it's not a bottom-line issue, why go to such great lengths?"

Arkham Knight clearly doesn't know what's going on either. If it's about weapons, equipment, and fighting, he's very knowledgeable, but if it's about political struggle, he's basically in the dark.

Since Arkham Batman took office, he hasn't understood almost all of his policies. But he can keenly feel that the situation in the court has changed many times, and the current Federation is already the world of the new emperor.

He sits in the chair in front of the table thinking, and finally decides to solve the problem at hand first. He asks Barbara again: "Are there any other places in the city with abnormal energy fluctuations?"

"Not yet, yours is his last stop—if he really exists."

"I said I didn't drink too much, that wasn't my hallucination!"

"Then how do you explain that the surveillance system on your mask didn't capture anything? And the bullets are all sitting well in your gun, not falling to the ground at all. And..."

Arkham Knight hangs up the communication directly. Just as he is packing his things, preparing to go out for another turn, he suddenly receives Batman's communication.

"Come to Wei En Tower." Arkham Batman is concise and comprehensive.

Arkham Knight takes his equipment and goes to Wei En Tower. As soon as he enters, he sees a familiar figure standing by the window—not referring to Batman, but the Moon Knight he just saw.

Arkham Knight's hand immediately grips his gun. But soon he hears Batman say: "Why are you standing there like a fool? Let me introduce you, this is Moon Knight, a new member of the Justice League."

"Why did you bring him here?" Arkham Knight asks, "I mean, he is a new member of the Justice League, shouldn't he go to the Justice League?"

"Yes. So I invited the Justice League to Cat Getan to provide some valuable suggestions for the construction of the new base. What do you think?"

"You are truly crazy, Batman!" Arkham Knight's tone contains a kind of anger, "Didn't you think about how much trouble that group of dangerous people would cause here? Or are you doing it on purpose?"

"They are not dangerous people, and they won't cause any trouble here." Arkham Batman says, "I require you and the other members of the Batman family, together with Gordon, Moon Knight, and other forces within Cat Getan, to keep an eye on them for me."

Arkham Batman's tone is too cold, and Arkham Knight is also shocked. He opens his mouth, doesn't say a word for a long time, and finally just squeezes out a sentence: "You, what are you going to do to them?"

"Thinking of worrying about them now?" Arkham Batman sneers, walks behind the desk and sits down, saying, "I have some very urgent things to do. But this matter cannot be known by the Justice League. The subsequent consequences may also trigger the entire Justice League to oppose it. In order not to cause trouble, I have to strike first."

Arkham Knight is silent. He can actually feel that after Batman became president, he has already changed. If it were in the past, he would absolutely not use such crude means. Before convincing the Justice League, he would not do things that might make them collectively oppose him.

But Arkham Knight also can't help but think, what kind of thing would make the Justice League collectively oppose him. Batman isn't thinking of starting World War III, is he?

Arkham Knight shakes his head, shaking those absurd thoughts out. He takes a deep breath and says: "I'll listen to you, tell me what to do."
