"Phew... finally it's almost finished," the Flash breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the huge Lantern furnace in front of him, which was unprecedented, and said with some admiration, "I didn't expect this thing to be so magnificent after it was built, and it can store so much power..."

Green Lantern also stood under the Lantern furnace and said: "Those damn Guardians of the Universe really didn't take less kickbacks. Such a big Lantern furnace can be filled to the brim, we must have run more than 200 trips, right?"

And Barry just hugged his arms, shook his head helplessly and said: "Don't you guys feel that there is something wrong with the style of this Lantern furnace?"

"What's wrong?" The two looked up at the same time.

The huge Lantern furnace was more than ten meters high. Although it looked similar in shape to the Lantern furnace commonly used by Green Lanterns—a round jar with a big lamp in front—the center was not the logo of the Lantern Corps, but a bat.

"Why does Batman like bats so much?" Barry asked, "Must he engrave bats on everything?"

"Oh, you're talking about this," the Flash shrugged and said, "This thing was built by him, so there's no problem with engraving his logo on it. I feel it's more pleasing to the eye than the Green Lantern logo."

"That's for sure," Green Lantern said coldly, "The Green Lantern logo was designed by the Guardians of the Universe, and I feel uncomfortable seeing it now. After the war is completely over, we will vote to choose the logo we designed ourselves, and we won't use those bastards'."

"Don't let Batman participate in the vote," Barry said, "Otherwise you will have to rename yourselves the 'Green Bat Corps,' which sounds like that kind of vegetarian gathering."

"Okay, don't talk about this," the Flash interrupted them, and then said, "Now that the energy is back, should we be able to start building the magic defense network? I heard that Batman transformed his seven safe houses distributed around the world into the pillars of the magic defense network. As long as the energy is poured in according to a certain method, Earth will have its own shield."

"Originally it was indeed like this, but now the plan has changed," the main universe Batman pushed the door and walked in, saying, "I need to charge the armor, and then we will go to Mount Olympus."

The three of them turned their heads to look at him. The main universe Batman continued expressionlessly: "The Hellbat armor I controlled before has already developed an improved version, but because there was not enough energy to drive it, it could only be placed in the Batcave as a decoration. Now it finally comes in handy. You all come with me."

The three followed him from the special secret room at the bottom of the Batcave to the first floor of the Batcave. There was a square specifically for parking vehicles, but several Batmobiles and Batplanes were stored in the hangar next to it. At this time, there was only a mecha workbench and a very handsome mecha here.

The Hellbat armor was black and red, covered with spikes, and had a pair of huge mechanical wings on its back. The mask also became fully wrapped, the material was non-reflective matte metal, and only the eyes had a "V"-shaped red visor. The pointed bat ears became shorter, and changed from upright to slightly curved forward, and the bat pattern on the chest and the belt became bright red.

Green Lantern and the Flash were seeing this armor for the first time, and they both sighed. The Flash walked around the armor a few times and said: "My God, this is too cool. Why have you never worn it?"

"After going to Apokolips last time, I discovered more shortcomings. Since I learned a trick from a mecha master in the neighboring world, I changed it to external energy. But the energy required to drive this armor is too much, and before getting enough energy, I could only shelve it. Fortunately, the energy problem is solved now, and it can see the light of day again."

The main universe Batman took a pyramid-shaped crystal from the workbench next to him. The Flash leaned over to take a look and said: "I think I know who the mecha master you mentioned is. When I found out that a person actually embedded a reactor in his chest, I couldn't wait to run away; and when I found out that this reactor also has a hot-swappable function, I even wanted to quit the Battleworld directly."

Green Lantern looked at him with some confusion. The Flash whispered: "Tony Stark. Have you seen that annoying guy in the Battleworld? He is extremely arrogant, but he is indeed skilled in mechanical engineering. That reactor on his chest can even charge my phone."

"Then how do you have the nerve to say people are annoying?"

"Just because I wanted to take that reactor to charge my phone, I had to listen to him complain all the way. You don't know how pretentious he is..."

The main universe Batman ignored their whispering, just placed the crystal on a slot next to the mecha workbench. The pipes gradually lit up, and the power of the seven lights stored in the Lantern furnace in the secret room below made the energy pipes emit colorful light, and when it was transmitted into the crystal, it made this otherwise plain gemstone become dazzling.

After charging was completed, the crystal flashed. The main universe Batman cut off the power, picked up the crystal again, and inserted it into the slot on the chest of the Hellbat armor.

In an instant, the mecha emitted a faint red light, the subtle sound of gear friction sounded one after another, and the whole mecha seemed to come alive.

The main universe Batman pressed the button, and the mecha was placed on the ground. He walked over and turned his back to the mecha, and the mecha armed him like a well-fitting piece of clothing.

"How is it?" The main universe Batman's voice became deeper and hoarser after being processed by the Hellbat armor.

"My God, you sound too evil," the Flash said, "Like that kind of evil robot that might destroy the world at any time."

"I have only one question," Green Lantern said, "Who do you plan to fight wearing it?"

His implication was: you didn't wear it when you faced Darkseid and took down the Guardians of the Universe, now that you've dug it out, you wouldn't be planning to attack Heaven, would you?

"If I really wanted to fight someone, I wouldn't wear it," the main universe Batman shook his head and said, "You know I'm not the kind of person who relies too much on violence. The most important role of this mecha is deterrence."

Green Lantern kept nodding, with an expression of "ah yes yes yes," and then asked: "Then who do you plan to use it to deter?"

"Of course it's the gods of Mount Olympus," the main universe Batman said, "My counterpart in another universe got a large sum of energy from them, at least two-thirds of ours—of course, that's the amount of all the gods combined. I don't need that much, having one-third is enough for me to maintain a leading advantage. So compared to raiding their home directly, I think I can talk to them."

"Will Diana agree?" The Flash couldn't help but ask.

"I'm wearing this to make this request to her, she will definitely agree," the main universe Batman said, "And she will also be glad that I'm just going to rob, rather than planning to slaughter the whole family like my counterpart."

"You've really changed a lot, Batman," the Flash shook his head and said, "In the past, you wouldn't have said robbery so righteously."

"I just wouldn't say it. Okay, what was it? —Justice League assemble."

Ten minutes later, Superman and Wonder Woman looked at Batman, who had already finished arming, and didn't listen to his plan content at all. As soon as the meeting ended, Superman immediately started to rub his hands.

"Quick! Batman! Let's have two moves!" Superman imitated a football player warming up before the game and said, "I won't bully you, today is a cloudy day. If you can take three moves from me, I will support whatever you do!"

"Don't mess around, Clark!" Wonder Woman stopped him, and then said, "Batman should have a sparring match with me first, so that we can verify the degree to which the armor is affected by divine power. If this can't be determined, wouldn't it be very dangerous when facing the gods?"

After speaking, she looked at the main universe Batman and said: "I don't object to you going to Mount Olympus, Batman. But the premise is that you have to beat me, a demigod, first, otherwise, my old father and hundreds of brothers and sisters will make you look good."

"Then let's try it," the main universe Batman said, "Do you think if I go to the Battleworld wearing this equipment, they will mistake me for Iron Man?"

"You are much cooler than Iron Man," Superman flew up and came between the two as a referee, "Three, two, one, start!"

Without any fancy techniques, the two figures collided together. Wonder Woman urged most of her divine power, and the magic energy on the chest of the Hellbat armor became brighter and brighter.

Boom!

A small-scale energy explosion shook both of them away. The smoke cleared, Wonder Woman looked around vigilantly, and the moment she felt the energy fluctuation, she had already been knocked away.

But while flying in mid-air, she twisted her body, her arms' divine power appeared again, crossing in front of her chest to block Batman's another fierce attack. After landing, she kicked without showing weakness, and the mechanical wing on one side of Batman's armor flexibly stretched out, blocking Wonder Woman's attack.

Finding that she couldn't kick him at all, Wonder Woman flipped upward using the kicking action, landed behind Batman, and threw another punch straight at his back. But Batman's figure disappeared with a swish.

"What's going on?" Wonder Woman frowned slightly, "Did you call the Flash for help?"

"Of course not," the main universe Batman reappeared and said, "This armor can reach sub-light speed at maximum output."

"Then won't you be okay?" Superman asked in shock.

"Of course not without magic energy protection. But now the energy is sufficient, the internal magic shield can ensure that the internal space is in a constant state, and I will be fine."

"My God, this is too magical. My usual highest cruising speed can only reach sub-light speed," Superman shook his head and said, "You can actually fly as fast as me by relying on a mecha—I really came to Earth right."

"In fact, I am preparing to build a mecha for you," the main universe Batman said, "Converting magic energy into the yellow sun energy you need, so that even without the sun, you can continue to fight. What do you think?"

"Sounds not bad, but you won't put Kryptonite in it again, will you?"

"Of course I will. I also specifically designed a slot for storing Kryptonite on the gauntlet, completely isolated from the inside by magic energy. You can use it to fight other Supermen."

"Why would I fight other Supermen?" Superman couldn't help but say, "Although there are indeed a few with bad tempers among us, most Supermen love each other. We even exchange recipes, and even help counterparts with their drafts, not like you guys who are at daggers drawn."

Wonder Woman couldn't help but sigh and said: "Sometimes I really envy your innocence, Clark."

"You don't seem surprised that I would go to Mount Olympus to rob, ma'am," the main universe Batman looked at Wonder Woman.

"Yes, because Wonder Woman of that good partner universe already reminded us in the group: if Batman tricks us into going to some small dark room recently, don't go. She has already been locked up, fortunately, Batman's target was Mount Olympus later, and he didn't really want to do anything to her, otherwise we would have to go save her collectively."

"What on earth are you doing?" Superman was a bit confused, he said, "Is there anything I don't know about what happened in the multiverse?"

"How long have you not looked at the Battleworld news?" The main universe Batman asked.

"I stayed in the universe for too long, causing me to have to stay up all night to finish the draft. I blocked all social media, what on earth happened?"

Superman said while opening the Battleworld communication channel. As soon as he opened it, tens of thousands of messages were brushed out in the group.
