Chapter 3960: MU: The Super-Body Incident (Part 51)
"Hey, catch." Spider-Man handed a wrench to the figure beside him. It was a Batman with a mechanical body. At this time, they were in the Batcave full of various mechanical equipment, repairing an old mecha.
"Where was I?" Mechanical Batman said pretending to recall, "Oh, at that time I was about 16 years old, not much older than you. Before I set off to travel the world, Alfred asked me to go to the Caucasus Mountains to see..."
Spider-Man listened to the story between him and Alfred while tightening the screws, and then he nodded and said: "It's really good, I also want to travel the world. Unfortunately, I don't have that much money, and I don't have time. Fortunately, there is the Battleworld, I have already visited many cities for free."
"Oh, where have you been?"
"The place I go most is Cat Getan," Spider-Man said, "I also wrote a "Cat Getan Travel Notes" for the Cat Getan of the main universe. This book is very popular, almost all Spider-Men have read it. In fact, I wrote it as a diary at the time, and I didn't expect it to be so popular."
"So you are that great writer Spider-Man." Mechanical Batman's tone contained some laughter, he said, "I heard your companions mention it before, you are not only the brave person who ate crabs first, but also provided a very good experience manual for later people."
Spider-Man scratched his head shyly and said: "Actually, that doesn't count as anything, there are many later writers who wrote better than me. I know you are encouraging me, but don't always praise me like this, I will be vain and complacent."
"In fact, literary talent might be your most inconspicuous talent," Mechanical Batman said, "I didn't expect you to be able to fiddle with these mechas. Did you study this major in college?"
"Ah, no. This is what I learned in Stark Group's laboratory. You know, Iron Man has many such mechas, I like to study them when I have nothing to do..."
Crack. The power was suddenly cut off. Spider-Man jumped in shock.
"Don't worry, maybe there is a problem with the lighting power supply..."
"No, something is coming!" Spider-Man raised his voice and shouted, "150 feet! 80 feet! 30 feet! He's coming!!!"
By the end, Spider-Man was almost screaming. The moment his voice fell, Mechanical Batman's body suddenly trembled.
Spider-Man jumped two meters high on the spot, almost hitting the ceiling of the Batcave. After landing, he looked left and right, immediately pulled a plug from the big machine next to him, pulled it off directly, and connected the wire directly to Mechanical Batman's metal body.
Zzz—!!!
The violent electric light illuminated the dark Batcave. The large amount of current passing through in an instant was the nemesis of any mechanical body. Mechanical Batman's body short-circuited directly and fell stiffly to the ground.
Spider-Man hurriedly turned out the backup equipment from the cabinet next to him, hesitated, and didn't connect it directly to the body. He thought about it, carried the backup equipment with him, carried the fallen body, walked out of the front door of the Batcave, and threw the body outside directly.
Then he brought the backup equipment back to the Batcave, locked the door tightly, and went down to the safe house all the way. After entering the safe house, he connected the backup equipment to the spare body.
A few minutes later, Mechanical Batman woke up again. He looked at Spider-Man and said: "This is backup consciousness? What's wrong?"
"Something invaded the Batcave and directly took away your body," Spider-Man said, "I sensed it, but he came too fast, I only had time to short-circuit that body, throw it outside the Batcave, and then enable your backup consciousness."
"Great job, boy." Mechanical Batman couldn't help but praise, "He shouldn't have had time to completely swallow my original consciousness. Let's go up and see what's going on."
Mechanical Batman left the safe house and walked upstairs. Spider-Man had to follow him.
Soon Mechanical Batman called up the surveillance at the entrance of the Batcave. The moment the surveillance was turned on, it happened to capture that the previous body stood up staggeringly, and actually walked away like nothing happened.
"God," Spider-Man couldn't help but sigh, "He directly snatched your body. What is he going to do?"
Mechanical Batman shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either. He said: "I'm going to the main universe for a meeting soon, maybe I can tell other Batmen about this situation, they should have some ideas."
Spider-Man nodded and said: "You should go to the main universe, I heard there is a magic defense network there, so that the other party can't attack you. Don't wait, go quickly."
Mechanical Batman didn't delay either, and headed to the main universe at the fastest speed. He thought he came early enough, but didn't expect that when he arrived at the Hall of Justice, the Batmen were almost all there, and they were discussing enthusiastically at this time.
Mechanical Batman found the main universe Batman in the crowd, and then said: "New news, that Ultron doesn't know what madness he is having, suddenly attacked me and snatched one of my bodies."
Unexpectedly, the main universe Batman was not surprised at all, looked at him and said: "Did your universe also have an accident?"
"It seems your universe also had an accident." The main universe Batman sighed and said, "We just learned that now Ultron is looting bodies on a large scale in the multiverse, taking away many powerful bodies. We are discussing why he wants to do this."
Arkham Batman was shocked, but at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it was not just his universe that had an accident. If everyone had problems, then this was not an accident.
Then he heard the main universe Batman say: "We suspect that it might be that Ultron's dream lover has appeared."
Arkham Batman's heart lifted again. No wonder, when Stark explained, the first thing he said was the birth of that female magic creature. Sure enough, compared to this, the destruction of the universe was not important.
"We suspected before that he might want to create a perfect lover. If nothing goes wrong, he has succeeded now. But unfortunately, the transformation of life form has made the Ultron in each single universe have autonomous consciousness. In order to compete and woo, they have to loot bodies to fight other selves." Batwoman said.
Arkham Batman was thinking about how not to expose the problems of his universe, and still reveal important information to them. He thought for a while and said: "Then it is still the previous speculation, this mysterious lover must be stronger than all Ultrons, otherwise she cannot have such autonomy."
"She doesn't necessarily have to be stronger than all Ultrons, as long as she makes them unable to control her." The main universe Batman said, "Therefore, we suspect that she might know magic."
"But this doesn't make sense," Mechanical Batman said, "Ultron can't touch magic at all, how can he create a magician?"
"That means this lover was not created by Ultron at all, her creator is someone else." The main universe Batman said.
"You mean Ultron has a helper? But if this helper is powerful enough to directly create magic life, why would he help Ultron? And using this method, what benefits can he get?" Batwoman asked.
Everyone else had no answer. Speculating on the motivation part is the most troublesome—because of the various strange existences in the multiverse, each has its own position, and there are even many unknown chaotic creatures. Their motivation is completely unpredictable, maybe it's just a whim. It is impossible to infer the identity of the other party by this.
Soon, the main universe Wonder Woman returned to the main universe. She rushed into the base in a hurry, and after seeing the room full of Batmen, she braked sharply, and a look of hesitation appeared on her face.
"What's wrong, ma'am?" Arkham Batman turned his head and asked her.
"I have some situation here." Wonder Woman paused and said, "The Wonder Woman of the Injustice League universe is dead, but the Superman of the Injustice League refuses to admit that he did it. The Lasso of Truth confirmed his words. And we found some problems in Nightwing's universe—do you want to see this video?"
Wonder Woman took out the communicator and sent the video to the main universe Batman. The main universe Batman projected the video onto the projector. Of course, there was nothing to see, Nightwing only appeared for three seconds from showing his face to disappearing.
"What is that blue light?" The main universe Batman touched his chin and said, "It doesn't look like the energy of the lantern group, nor does it look like a technological creation. Perhaps it is some strange existence. Things are getting more and more complicated."
Arkham Batman looked at the main universe Batman. He trusted the main universe Batman's judgment, because the main universe had just finished a star war, and even Oa was taken down. The Blue Lantern Corps might have also participated in the war, and the main universe Batman must have seen them take action. If he said no, then it probably wasn't.
At this time, the main universe Green Lantern also flew in, obviously called back by the main universe Batman. He looked at the video and shook his head and said: "This is definitely not the power of the lantern group. Blue Lantern is not this color, nor is it used like this. Perhaps it is some kind of teleportation device?"
Batmen also began to discuss: some analyzed the color of the blue light, some analyzed the direction of the source. But in the end, they came to a conclusion, anyway, it was definitely not the existing Batman technology. Of course, it did not rule out that a Batman from a certain universe had a whim to create such equipment, but the probability was not very high.
"You say, will the one who saved Nightwing be the same person who created the mysterious lover?" Batwoman asked.
The Batmen were silent for a moment. The main universe Batman said: "In short, what can be determined now is that behind Ultron, there must be a mastermind we don't know, hiding in our multiverse. If we can't find him, then even if Ultron is solved, the multiverse is still very dangerous."
"Who could it be?" Arkham Batman muttered in a low voice. But in fact, he already had some guesses.
He opened the Battleworld interface and sent a message to Bruce: "Where are you now?"
"I'm on vacation next door, what's wrong?" Bruce replied very quickly. Judging by his speed of replying in seconds, it was unlikely that he was doing business.
Arkham Batman's hand inputting paused. Although he felt Bruce was very suspicious, he didn't have any evidence. He didn't know for a while whether forcing him, bringing him back from next door, or pretending to know nothing and letting him stay there, which one was better for his universe.
Hesitating for about half a second, Arkham Batman decisively chose to play deaf and dumb. As long as he didn't ask, Bruce wouldn't have the risk of coming back. They would have a battle with the world next door sooner or later, so it was more beneficial for him to put Bruce there to add trouble to them.
Arkham Batman looked at the main universe Batman, who was also operating the Battleworld system just now, and estimated that he also suspected Bruce, but he probably made the same decision as himself. In order not to let Bruce come back, the Batmen tacitly gave up their obsession with the truth.
Without Bruce making trouble on his side, it was a huge strengthening; and the opposite side welcomed the arrival of the Nameless Bat, which was bound to be a mess. The enemy slows down and I speed up, which is equivalent
The Arkham Batman covered his eyes with his palm again, slightly bowed. He was currently using all his wisdom to think about how he could possibly cover this up.
He could now somewhat understand the plight of the main Marvel Universe; things like poking a hole in the sky really couldn't be exposed, otherwise, his universe would have absolutely no way to survive in the multiverse.
Of course, it wasn't that he wanted to hide the truth and delay progress, but rather that this process needed to be slightly beautified. The Arkham Batman stepped forward two paces, pushed Stark back against the wall, and said, "Listen, there was never any 'creation project'; everything was just an experimental error, okay?"
"What?! But I should have naming rights for such a perfect body..." Before Stark could finish, he saw the burning murderous intent in those blue eyes hidden in the shadow of the cowl.
He swallowed hard, hurriedly made the sign of the cross on his chest, and said in a sorrowful tone, "Okay, experimental accident, everything was God's arrangement, how unfortunate."
The Arkham Batman still couldn't help but curse in his heart: Why are the people in this universe all like this... Who do you think he takes after?
