Chapter 3909: The Nameless Bat (End)

"But this will also have problems," the Adventure Batman said, frowning. "When we concentrate our strength in one place, other universes will inevitably be slaughtered by it. Can we accept such losses?"

Other Batmen were somewhat silent. Obviously, no one was willing to accept it, especially since the Robins in quite a few of their universes had already been harmed. Batman absolutely could not accept the death of a Robin.

If they fought the mastermind in this mode, abandoning their own universes, it was very likely to cause tragic consequences. This was something Batman had to worry about.

Then it might turn into: although the people went to the main universe, their minds were all on their own universes, and as soon as they received bad news, they would rush back. In the end, neither the main universe nor their own universes would be handled well.

"There is another way," the Main Universe Batman said. "We concentrate our strength to compete with it for a universe it absolutely cannot give up. This way, we concentrate our strength, and it must also concentrate its strength; it probably won't have the ability to take care of other universes."

The Batmen discussed in low voices again. They naturally knew which universe the Main Universe Batman was referring to. They had long realized the difference of the main universe. And what made them feel some doubt was: would the mastermind realize this?

If the mastermind could realize the importance of the main universe, it would absolutely not give up this territory. In order not to be driven out by the united Batmen, it would definitely use every means, exhaust its computing power, and deploy all its threads to protect its arrangements in this universe.

Because once the main universe became completely safe and secure, more than half of any multiverse-level disaster would be considered settled. The invader wouldn't want to see this happen, so it could only choose to play a game of chess with Batman in the main universe.

But if the other party didn't realize this at all and still pursued a strategy of blooming everywhere, then although they could take this opportunity to make the main universe safe, there would always be other universes that would suffer.

"We can try to make it realize this, but in reality, we don't have any evidence," the Mechanical Batman said. "We can't just say it's our intuition, right? Electronic life probably doesn't believe in that."

"Do you think there should be an absolutely safe universe in the world?" the Adventure Batman said again. "Or rather, there are two."

At first, the Batmen didn't react, because this was a bit of a leap. But as soon as they heard the Adventure Batman say "there are two," they immediately remembered: in the world on their side, two people had also successfully defeated the mastermind and left it with psychological trauma. The universes where these two people were located must be safe.

One was the super Brainiac, and the other was that Batman whose existence was unknown. These two had long since defeated the mastermind and thwarted its invasion. Their universes were naturally safe. If they wanted a safe base camp, this was the best choice.

"Which universe do you think it is?" the Adventure Batman asked.

"Obviously not any of us, otherwise we wouldn't be appearing here," some Batmen sighed and said.

"We are almost all here," the Arkham Batman looked around and said. "The super Brainiac not appearing in our universe is bad news, but it is also good news. And that Batman who might have defeated the mastermind shouldn't be any of us either."

Along with his words, the hearts of all the Batmen sank. Neither the super Brainiac nor the possible Batman was among them, which meant they either fell into the evil camp or the neutral camp. No matter which camp, they wouldn't listen to them.

In fact, the justice camp led by the Main Universe Batman and the evil camp led by Owlman didn't have many people. The majority was the neutral camp. After all, although most Batmen could be considered the lawful camp, they were also very cautious and preferred to observe when the wind direction was unclear, rather than taking sides.

The problem now was, if it fell into the neutral camp, it might be okay; if it fell into the evil camp, they would really have hit the jackpot.

But unfortunately, if this super Brainiac really existed, Batman was unlikely to exist. To be precise, to survive in a world ruled by a super artificial intelligence, this Batman probably wouldn't be the very righteous kind, but more likely to be in cahoots with the super Brainiac, making it more likely to stand in the evil camp.

And once this safe house in the multiverse was obtained by Owlman and the others, don't expect them to use it as a base to deal with the invader. They would definitely find a way to negotiate with the invader and cooperate with it to deal with the people on the Main Universe Batman's side.

If this was the case, it would be the worst situation.

"We really have to probe," Batwoman straightened her body and became serious as she said, "What exactly is going on with Owlman's side?"

"Do you think sending him a message will work?" the Adventure Batman probed. "He shouldn't leave it on read, right?"

"No," the Arkham Batman immediately denied. He said, "If their progress is slow and they haven't united yet, as soon as we send this message, he will definitely realize we are all together, which will instead expose that this is a multiverse invasion, providing him with information and accelerating his progress. And if we mention the super Brainiac, he might search based on this information, which would be disadvantageous to us."

"But we also need information from their side. Even if we don't send a message and go to investigate quietly, I'm afraid it will be hard to hide from him, and information will leak anyway. Nothing ventured, nothing gained," the Adventure Batman said.

The two had a disagreement, so they both looked at the Main Universe Batman. The Main Universe Batman was also thinking. This was actually a trade-off regarding choices.

Probing the evil camp from their side would leak some information to the other party, but at the same time, they would obtain information from their side, which could barely be considered an equivalent exchange. The Adventure Batman sought stability and preferred this method.

But if they thought of a way, perhaps they could sneak over to investigate. There was indeed a risk of being discovered, but if they weren't discovered, it would be a case of getting something for nothing. The Arkham Batman liked to push forward, so he naturally liked this method.

"I am confident I won't be discovered," the Arkham Batman said. "I can have results in one day at the fastest. What do you think?"

The Main Universe Batman was clearly tempted. He knew the Arkham Batman's ability was very strong even before magic enhancement; he was the number one assassin on the server, dealing with the FMVP in the Dark Nights: Metal event.

Now with magic enhancement, it was even more extraordinary. Driving the Batmobile was like entering an empty land, and opening portals was even more silent. And Owlman had been misled at the magic school; his research on magic was definitely not as deep as his. Arkham Batman's trip would likely uncover quite a bit of intelligence.

Moreover, they also had the Flash Batman, who perfectly compensated for the shortcomings of Batman's lack of speed and the Flash's lack of brains; he was almost the perfect Batman and a natural information gatherer. It was a waste not to use such resources.

Even if they let the Doomsday Batman and the God of War Batman go find Owlman for a fight, not only could they get a lot of intelligence, but they could also beat him up.

Just as the Main Universe Batman was about to speak, Batwoman spoke up: "I don't think it's necessary to be so troublesome. We don't have to ask Owlman directly; we can ask others in their camp."

"You mean..."

"These guys all have their own agendas; how could they be truly loyal to anyone? Their greatest common interest is that they all dislike us, but that doesn't mean they like their teammates very much. Especially since Owlman's performance at the magic school was very poor, and he has done nothing for too long since returning, I'm afraid many people have already wavered."

Other Batmen nodded. The so-called evil camp was actually a flexible camp without high moral standards. They could stand together to oppose the justice camp, and they could abandon the underperforming Owlman and throw themselves into the embrace of justice. In the end, it was nothing more than the word 'interest'.

Unfortunately, Owlman himself wasn't very impressive. First, he was outmaneuvered by the Arkham Batman at the magic school, and after returning, he became obsessed with researching that complex and useless black magic, and there had been no movement for a long time.

The struggle of the multiverse was like sailing against the current; if you didn't advance, you retreated. Owlman's performance was naturally very disappointing, and many people in his camp would waver, only he himself might not have realized this yet.

And the Batmen of the Main Universe Batman's camp could just use this point to extract some intelligence from the waverers among them. The other party would also be happy to sell them a favor at this juncture, making it convenient for them not to be bothered when they became fence-sitters later, leaving themselves an extra way out.

"Who do you think is more suitable?" the Main Universe Batman asked.

"Injustice Batman," almost all Batmen said in unison.

The Main Universe Batman also thought of this answer. Because judging from the magic school, Injustice Batman was less of an evil camp member and more of a 'shit-stirrer' camp member, specializing in sarcasm and disruption.

Did he help Owlman? It didn't seem so. Although he followed Owlman, he didn't make any contribution. Anyway, when Owlman was blown up, he ran quite fast. But if you said he was an undercover agent, that wouldn't be quite right; he looked more like a troll.

Such a person could be won over, and even if not won over, they could cooperate briefly. Extracting some intelligence from him was the best choice at the moment.

"I'll send him a message," the Adventure Batman said. "... Forget it, I'll just call him on speakerphone. Anyway, he can guess we're together."

The communication was connected quickly. Injustice Batman's voice was lazy: "Hello? What's up?"

"It's me," the Adventure Batman said. "Any movement from Owlman's side recently?"

"You mean him? He hasn't left his universe recently; I don't know what he's tinkering with. What's wrong?"

The Batmen looked at each other, knowing their deduction was correct. Owlman seemed not to have realized at all that a disaster was happening in the multiverse and was still burying his head in his own affairs.

"Have you seen any strange electronic life forms recently?" the Adventure Batman asked very bluntly.

"I have, actually. Then don't tell me you intend to kindly come and help me. If you want something, just say it."

"We want to know if there's any special universe on your side, like one with a super artificial intelligence or something."

"You shouldn't be asking me this question; after all, I haven't been to many universes," Injustice Batman said. "I'm sorry, I can't help."

The call was hung up quickly. But all the Batmen realized that Injustice Batman had something in his words. Injustice Batman was telling the truth; he really hadn't been to many universes. After all, he entered the Battleworld relatively late, and he didn't have any means of multiverse travel himself, so it was true that he couldn't help.

But he was clearly hinting: if you want to find a certain universe in the multiverse, you have to find someone who has been to many different universes, referred to as a 'universe street-walker'.

Most Batmen had families and businesses, and they didn't spend all their time in the Battleworld. Multiverse travelers were even rarer; after all, going to different universes carried risks, and most Batmen weren't willing to do so—except for one person.

Arkham Batman and Main Universe Batman looked at each other.

"It seems we have to go find him."

"Yeah, it still reached this point."

"Really a headache."

"I don't really want to go either."

Batwoman was a bit strange. She looked at the two of them and asked: "What riddle are you playing? Who are you going to find?"

The Main Universe Batman looked at her deeply, and then spat out a name: "—YOUKNOWWHO (The Nameless Bat)."
