Chapter 4045

"Isn't that Batman?"

The main universe Batman had just walked out of the conference room when he heard a slightly familiar, but completely undisguised malicious voice. He turned his head and saw Owlman's two round eyes.

"Hello, Owlman." The main universe Batman stopped his steps and looked at him, saying, "If not being Batman makes you so proud, then don't always dive into the pile of Batmen when choosing your collective affiliation. That will only make you look like you're lacking love."

Owlman was stunned. He was even blank-brained for a moment from being scolded. Wait, buddy, what's wrong? Why such a big temper?

I failed at black magic, was hunted by my own teammates, had my location exposed by an evil electronic life form, and was finally brought to another universe; I didn't even have such big resentment. Has the sky fallen?

The main universe Batman is usually not a person who would scold others. He wouldn't use personal attacks to communicate with people worth scolding; and he wouldn't even give a glance to people not worth scolding. He hadn't even personally attacked the Joker. Owlman didn't know for a moment whether he should feel honored.

He thought that if he rushed out to provoke Batman, the main universe Batman would silently look at him as he did in the past, and then turn and leave. Of course, if the one wearing metal armor were there, he might want to give him a punch, but he would also be stopped by the main universe Batman. Why is the script wrong today? Did Batman eat gunpowder?

"I..." Owlman opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute for a moment. Don't say it, the main universe Batman really hit the nail on the head.

Actually, Owlman's biggest weakness isn't justice or evil, nor is it whether his brain is easy to use, but that he simply isn't Batman. He isn't even Bruce Wei En. Then mixing in the pile of Batmen is actually not justified.

Although Battleworld classified him into the group of Batmen, not being is not being. Especially, he had other counterparts, such as the Owlman in Watchmen, and the Owlman in the cartoons. Then he should be classified separately, instead of mixing with the Batmen.

Of course, the principle of "better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix" doesn't work for Owlman. Of course, he wants to gain status in the group of Batmen, rather than playing with his few counterparts from the boondocks.

Although Batman must have discovered this weakness long ago, not saying it out loud naturally has its reasons. After all, what Batman needs to do is unite the vast majority, rather than subdividing the group according to everyone's different points. That is not beneficial to unity.

If Owlman doesn't count as Batman, then perhaps many Batmen wouldn't count as Batmen, and then immediately many Supermen wouldn't count as Supermen, and many Green Lanterns wouldn't count as Green Lanterns. Then, the multiverse alliance would fall apart in an instant. Out of consideration for the overall situation, even if the main universe Batman knew this, he wouldn't say it openly.

But today, I don't know what happened, Owlman felt he might have lost his mind, actually coming up with a killer move.

Owlman was also somewhat hesitant in his heart; the main universe Batman looked like he was in a fit of anger. If he still recklessly went to provoke him, he was afraid he would be kicked into a black hole. Owlman doesn't call it cowardice, but "those who know the times are heroes."

Thinking this way, Owlman's subsequent mocking words didn't come out. The main universe Batman didn't pay attention to him either, turning and walking in another direction. Owlman wanted to know where he was going, so he followed behind him.

As a result, when he opened the door, he saw Thomas Wei En.

"Father." The main universe Batman called out. "How is Mother? Is she okay?"

"Not bad, accompanying Selina to pick out a wedding dress." Thomas said very gently. "Originally I was going to be their driver, but you said there was a shortage of manpower here, so Martha told me to hurry over. Is everyone else okay?"

"Not bad, Batman hasn't suffered any losses. However, quite a few Supermen were killed in action, otherwise, we wouldn't need to replenish personnel."

Thomas sighed and said: "War inevitably has casualties; when I was on the battlefield, friends who were talking and laughing together the day before fell into the trenches the next day, and I didn't even have the chance to bandage them. The war between superheroes might be even more cruel than this. Losing a close friend for the first time must be very sad. Perhaps I should have let Martha come with me."

"Forget it, Bruce's wedding date is approaching, it's more important to pick a wedding dress." The main universe Batman said. "Let me introduce you, this is little Thomas Wei En. In one universe, he is my brother, your eldest son."

From the moment he entered the door, Owlman had already started to feel restless. Seeing Thomas Wei En's face again gave Owlman a very severe stress response. His hands were already pressed on the darts.

Owlman's origin has been modified. Previously, he was a purely evil Batman who killed the kind Wei En couple and his own brother. However, later, it was changed to the Wei En couple being greedy and vicious capitalists, and Owlman accidentally killed his brother while trying to eliminate them.

Actually, the latter origin is more reasonable, because Earth-3 itself is a reversal of good and evil. The Wei En couple in the normal universe are philanthropists, so the Wei En couple in Earth-3 being unscrupulous entrepreneurs is more reasonable. At least Owlman's origin story is this now.

Moreover, the Wei En couple wasn't good to the Wei En brothers either, busy with work all year round and never coming home. The servants hired at home were also greedy and snobbish, treating the two brothers perfunctorily, and even abusing them, while the Wei En couple didn't care at all.

Childhood shadows are hard to erase. So despite knowing that this Thomas might be completely different from his own biological father, when he looked over, Owlman's heart still trembled.

Now he can be sure that the main universe Batman has gone half-crazy. In order to disgust him, he didn't even hesitate to call his own father to the battlefield. Who else can tell you apart from the Joker?

Despite cursing loudly in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on the surface. He didn't even dare to attack Thomas, not entirely because of psychological shadows, mainly because there were many other Batmen in this base. If he attacked someone's own father, wouldn't he be chopped into minced meat?

By then, don't talk about winning over other Batmen, he would be the public enemy of all Batmen in the universe. He couldn't do this kind of thing.

But perhaps the main universe Batman had made up his mind that he wouldn't dare to do this, so he deliberately brought Thomas over to disgust him. Who is the evil Batman, does it still need to be said?

"Why is he dressed like a scuba diver?" Thomas asked somewhat puzzled. "Forget it, I discussed with your mother before whether we should have another child. But we both felt that we couldn't make up for the debt we owe you with another child, which wouldn't be fair to you."

Owlman got goosebumps all over. The main universe Batman nodded as if nothing had happened and said: "If you want to have another one, I hope it's not like Bruce."

"Speaking of Bruce, where is he?"

"Went out to execute a mission, but should be back before long..."

The two talked while walking towards the back door of the room. Owlman didn't want to follow, but wanted to hear what they were saying, but was afraid they would think he had something to say to them. He hesitated on the spot, and finally decided to give up.

This main universe Batman's mental state didn't look normal, it was better to stay away. He had to study what happened during the time he was away, especially to figure out how the main universe Batman suffered defeat.

And the main universe Batman just chatted with Thomas for a little while, then went to do real work.

He came to the cell where Erik was being held. Actually, it couldn't be called a cell, it was just an ordinary room. Because of Darkseid's existence, Magneto was just an ordinary person without superpowers at this time. When the main universe Batman went over, he looked like he had just woken up.

Seeing his appearance, the main universe Batman frowned. As far as he knew, Erik Lehnsherr wasn't someone who could fall asleep in this situation.

"Hello, Mr. Lehnsherr." The main universe Batman was very cautious; he wasn't deceived by the young appearance of the person in front of him at all, but respected him as much as possible as an old man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life.

Erik didn't answer, just sat opposite him, still looking a bit distracted. The main universe Batman began to worry a little about his health.

"We have no intention of hurting you." The main universe Batman had to say, "Locking you here is just a stopgap measure, and it's just to use you to exchange for prisoners. But your old comrade seems to have some opinions about us."

Erik lowered his head, still not speaking. The main universe Batman had to change his way, saying: "He killed most of the Flashes and many Supermen, including those from my universe, just because we caught you."

"Perhaps." Erik said.

"What do you mean by perhaps?"

"Did he tell you personally that it was because you caught me?"

"Of course, the Flash heard it."

"That might only be part of the truth." Erik yawned and said, "Actually, I should thank you; this is the only good sleep I've had in the past six months."

The main universe Batman frowned deeply.

"Perhaps you don't know, our universe has four Omega-level mutants who were born not long ago. Before you caught me here, I had been taking care of them. I don't know if you can imagine that workload, but no matter what, you rescued me from that kind of hell, I should express my gratitude to you."

"... Four Omega-level mutants?"

Erik lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers, then said: "Yes, and it is precisely out of gratitude to you that I must remind you. Without my help, whether it's Wanda or Charles, or the children's biological parents, none of them have the ability to take care of them alone, and none of them can control them at all. The truth of what you said about Charles going crazy because I was caught might be that he tried to control those four little demons but failed, and triggered a series of chain reactions. The consequences of failure are not borne by just one side."

The main universe Batman seemed to be listening to some Arabian Nights. Mainly because their universe really didn't have creatures like mutants, which made it very hard for him to imagine scripts like super babies destroying the universe, and thus he had no concept of such disasters.

"You mean, Charles going crazy wasn't because of you, but because without you, no one helped him take care of the children, so he went crazy?"

"You got one thing wrong, most Professor Xs aren't that kind. He would only think that you imprisoning me or killing me directly just provided him with an opportunity to comfort me, which can strengthen his control over me. Perhaps he should thank you instead."

"Perhaps you would describe our relationship as intertwined love and hate, but what dominates this relationship is not love, but precisely the negative part of it. If you want to make him go crazy, you should use not his love for me, but his hatred for me."

"For example?"

Erik looked up at him, then said: "For example, between victory and him, I chose the former, once again."
