Chapter 4071: MU: The Super-Body Incident (Part 162)

~12 min read 2,205 words

Owlman asked very directly, without going around in circles at all. But in his current state, directness is normal. After all, everyone knows that he is holding his breath and wants to compete with the Main Universe Batman.

Now that the Main Universe Batman has achieved such a great battle result, he must be anxious and eager to achieve battle results. Naturally, he will want to participate in the next combat task. This is something everyone knows, and it is not abnormal.

And Owlman knows that the Main Universe Batman cannot refuse and must let him participate. Because this guy has been trying to win over other evil Batmen. His philosophy is to save as many as possible, try to unite everyone, and be fair and strict, not biased, and not affected by personal likes and dislikes.

Since he has set up this persona, he must do it perfectly. So even if he scolds Owlman verbally, he must give Owlman a chance to make contributions in serious matters. Otherwise, it is easy to be seen as deliberately wearing small shoes. In that case, other evil Batmen will no longer dare to come to take refuge, and other Justice Batmen may also feel that the Main Universe Batman is not fair enough.

So Owlman took advantage of the fact that the Batmen hadn't left yet and deliberately rushed up to ask like this, which was to kidnap morally. Aren't you, the Main Universe Batman, wanting to be a saint? Then if you don't agree to my combat request, you are narrow-minded and retaliating.

The Main Universe Batman pondered for a while, and then said: "There is a combat task next, but I think your ability is not suitable..."

"Whether my ability is suitable or not, you have to say it clearly first. Otherwise, how do you know I am not suitable?"

"Of course, because I understand..."

"Then you tell me, where have I been during this time? How much do you know about that universe? What new ability have I gained in that universe?"

The Main Universe Batman frowned. Owlman said somewhat proudly: "You don't know. Since this is the case, you can't use the old set to judge my ability. You tell me what the combat task is first. If it's really not suitable, will I still go to die?"

"Alright," the Main Universe Batman said as if he couldn't hold him back, "We have found the whereabouts of the Soul Stone, but that place is indeed a bit dangerous, and there may be enemies. We are organizing a combat team to go search..."

"I will be the leader," Owlman said, "You should know that I dare to take this task, naturally I have certainty."

"However, the stone is a thing with magical attributes. Your grades in the magic school are not good, and I haven't heard of any eye-catching performance..."

"Then you probably don't know, I just relied on a curse to knock down the Ultraman of our universe..."

The Main Universe Batman frowned, seemingly thinking. Owlman continued: "Moreover, the stone won't run. If I fail, you can send someone else."

"I can let you try," the Main Universe Batman said, "But we have to make a three-chapter agreement. If you dare to violate it, I will order the termination of the combat operation."

"Don't worry," Owlman said, "This is my first combat task, I will definitely try my best. But you also have to give me a few good hands. If there are drag-bottles interfering with my actions..."

"No," the Main Universe Batman said, "First of all, the combat team must be united and absolutely not fight internally..."

It is said to be a three-chapter agreement, but the Main Universe Batman actually said several points inside and outside, wishing to explain everything in detail. Owlman was impatient to the extreme, but still stood in place and finished listening.

"I have sent the coordinates of the mission target to the spaceship in advance," the Main Universe Batman said, "You can look at it after you get on the ship."

A glimmer of light flashed in Owlman's eyes, but he still nodded calmly and walked toward the equipment warehouse, looking like he was actively preparing for battle.

After leaving the conference room, Arkham Batman, who had walked out before, slowed down a few steps and stayed to walk side by side with the Main Universe Batman. He whispered: "I warned you, he has had unclear magical fluctuations recently. Why are you still..."

"The coordinates I gave him are fake," the Main Universe Batman said, "The contradiction between Owlman and me is well known, and the opposite side cannot let go of this opportunity. Since this is the case, we will count on it, and we are worried that there is no one to distract their attention."

"How do you know that Owlman will definitely cooperate with the other party?"

"Bruce might not have before he went. After Bruce went, he will definitely cooperate with them. How annoying that guy is, you are not unaware."

"No wonder you sent him to appease Owlman," Arkham Batman clicked his tongue and said, "At that time, I thought you wanted to use Bruce's young image to make Owlman recall his brother, and then move him."

"You really think he misses his brother that much?" The Main Universe Batman sneered, "This kind of person loves himself forever. If you let him do it again, even if he knows he will kill by mistake, he will still do it. Between his brother living and his parents dying, he will always choose the latter. Constantly looking for substitutes is also to satisfy himself. Truly loving someone is to make him strong, not to let him be trapped in the image of a weak person who needs protection for a lifetime."

Arkham Batman stopped talking. The two of them walked forward in silence. After a long while, the Main Universe Batman said again: "Although Owlman can be used to involve part of the other party's attention, the other party has been forced to a dead end and is afraid that they will not give up so easily. They still have a lot of power that has not been used. Others are easy to say, but that group of trapped Supermen, we must save."

Arkham Batman nodded, obviously agreeing with this point. He said: "Actually, I didn't expect you to drag it for so long before going to save. Is it because they are Supermen?"

"That's right. If it were anyone else trapped, I would definitely go to save them immediately. Because others would never understand me like that. But Superman, he will definitely think I have more important things to do, and would rather I didn't come to save them. So I have to finish the plan I laid out; otherwise, even if I saved him, once he knew that the plan to save him delayed my important business, he would have to... look at me like a dog that just got a shot."

The Arkham Batman seemed amused by this metaphor, but after thinking about it, he felt it was quite apt and couldn't help but repeat it: "A dog that just got a shot... Actually, I've never seen a dog get a shot, but I can completely imagine it."

"This matter still has to be left to you," the Main Universe Batman said, "but I will assign you a helper. He has done a lot of research in this area and should be able to help. Who are you planning to go with this time?"

"The Agent, of course. That black-haired Constantine is also good; he gets things done cleanly. That's all; too many people would be a bit inconvenient."

The Main Universe Batman nodded and said, "The place we are going this time is quite special. In the evening, I will have that helper come to pick you up."

By evening, the Arkham Batman was in his room organizing his equipment. This operation was bound to be dangerous because the one who captured Superman was Charles, whose body they had destroyed and who they had severely injured. The other party would absolutely not let it go.

According to what he knew, the Dream Realm here in the Marvel side was completely different from the one back home; it wasn't that powerful. If he had to describe it, it was an independent dimension composed of dream power, where each individual universe was not interconnected, and it didn't have a master as powerful as the Dream God.

But this also meant that it would be even more chaotic there. To arm-wrestle with Professor X in the mental world sounded like a fantasy. However, the current Charles was not in his complete form, so it wasn't impossible to try.

As soon as it hit nine o'clock, the Arkham Batman suddenly heard a loud bang. When he turned his head, the wall of the room behind him had been smashed in, and the front of a massive truck emitting a faint glow had poked into the room. Jack the Joker, sitting in the driver's seat, flashed a big smile at him.

The Arkham Batman closed his eyes helplessly, hoping that what he was seeing was a hallucination. If he had known that the helper the Main Universe Batman found was this guy, he should have let Owlman do this job.

But since he had already accepted it, there was no other way. The Arkham Batman sighed and said, "Open the back door of the truck; I need to drive the Batmobile in."

The other party didn't say much and opened the door. The Arkham Batman walked to the back of the truck and realized that he was no longer in the base; outside the room was a void. He summoned the Batmobile and drove it into the cargo hold.

He sat in the back row of the truck's cab, and the two remained silent all the way until they reached the room where Schiller was. Schiller had also already prepared his equipment and was waiting there. As soon as he got into the car, he said, "This time might be a bit troublesome. There is one crucial Doctor Strange who wasn't captured."

"Who?"

"Dream-Power Doctor Strange. You can think of him as half a Dream God, and the other half is Professor X; now the two of them have joined forces. The difficulty is roughly equivalent to punching Lucifer once."

"Doesn't sound that hard," Jack said. "Bruce can slap Lucifer into the Holy Spring three times a week."

"And then get kicked into the Eden Lake by Lucifer, right?" Schiller rolled his eyes slightly and said, "This time we almost killed Charles; he absolutely won't let us off easy."

At this moment, the car had already arrived in front of Constantine, who was still wearing a trench coat, carrying a box, and had a cigarette dangling from his mouth. When he got into the car, he handed one to Jack, and the two sat there blowing smoke. Schiller asked for one and held it in his mouth without lighting it, while the Arkham Batman turned his head to look out the car window.

The driving process was quite smooth, and no accidents occurred. Most of the time was spent driving through a vast white space, and road signs gradually began to appear along the way. No one knew how Jack distinguished the direction, but in any case, the scenery began to become increasingly dense.

Afterward, a road suddenly appeared. Jack slowed down slightly and frowned a little.

"What's wrong?" the Arkham Batman asked.

"Looks like someone is welcoming us," Jack said. "Not coming out to talk?"

"It's me." A figure appeared in the middle of the road. It was the Dream-Power Doctor Strange. He said, "I know your intentions, but this is not the place for a fight. The dream dimension on our side is relatively fragile. Superman caused a huge scene here and already destroyed quite a bit; if you guys do it again, I'll be homeless."

"Then what do you propose?"

"Not all disputes have to be resolved with force. Of course, I'm not saying we should negotiate. How about we change the rules and use the Dream World's way of playing?"

"The Dream World's way of playing?" the Arkham Batman asked. "What do you intend to do?"

"Four of you, three of us, one nightmare scenario each. When entering the nightmare, the protagonist of the nightmare will relive the scenes of that year, the teammates are responsible for saving him, and the opponents are responsible for interfering. Whoever saves the most wins."

"Sounds quite interesting," Jack smiled and said. "If we win, you let the people go? Then if you win, what do you want?"

"The location of the Soul Stone," the Dream-Power Doctor Strange said. "Even if you get the address, it's impossible to be faster than you. At that time, we'll each rely on our own abilities to snatch it; you won't lose out."

Jack looked at the Arkham Batman. The Arkham Batman pondered for a long time and slowly nodded.

?? It's really going to break two hundred chapters...
