Chapter 4349: Justice League: Assembly (Part 4)
In Battleworld, in Batman's base, the light of the portal flashed, and a figure in a suit and leather shoes walked out. He was tall and strong, but had many white sideburns that many Batmen didn't have; although his appearance didn't show old age, his temperament was more mature, and his face was also very serious.
And outside the portal, two Batmen were already waiting for him. Main Universe Batman stepped forward and shook hands with him. Immediately after was Adventure Batman. The three walked into the base together.
"To tell you the truth, inviting you here is also a last resort. The data I sent you before has already attached a series of reports such as detection readings. The invasion of dark energy is indeed a fact, and choosing your universe as a bridgehead is probably not without a target."
"I'm sorry." Ben-Bat said, "Perhaps they think I no longer have the ability to save the crisis."
Adventure Batman shook his head and said: "I'm afraid not. In the multiverse, there are many Batmen who have entered old age, not to mention that aging is not the most severe predicament. If you just want to find a universe where Batman is weak, then the Dark Multiverse is the best choice."
Ben-Bat frowned slightly, and they sat down on the sofa. He put one leg on the other and then said: "I don't know either, what is so special about my universe that deserves extra attention. Do you have any ideas?"
Main Universe Batman and Adventure Batman looked at each other, and Main Universe Batman said: "We have guesses, but we can't tell you. Because cognition is also a kind of power, which may disturb your mind. This dark power invasion is likely to be more biased toward the magic side, and the mental state is particularly important."
"I think you have already come into contact with magic power," Adventure Batman said, "That is indeed magical, isn't it?"
"Yes, the magic power you provided to me can even seriously injure Superman in an instant. This is indeed very incredible. Is this kind of power common in the universe?"
"That's right," Main Universe Batman nodded, "Now, Batmen are focusing on conquering the acquisition and use of this power, which can add bricks and tiles to the safety of our universe. But you came to Battleworld relatively late, and now it is probably very difficult to catch up with the progress."
"But the crisis may break out in my universe." Ben-Bat kept frowning, and he said, "This is not optimistic."
"We looked at your physical examination report," Adventure Batman said, "The degree of your body wear is far beyond our expectations, and the plans we prepared to adjust the body state are all useless. Of course, I know you are definitely not reckless to get to where you are now; you must have your difficulties, but you still have to think of other ways."
Main Universe Batman supported his forearm on his knee, leaned forward, and then said: "There are two plans now. Either we will try to use magic energy to repair your body; or, we will seek help from the medical means of another big world; they have made great achievements in this regard."
"Tell me specifically." Ben-Bat replied.
"The benefit of using magic to repair is fast. As a universal energy, when acting on the human body, it can almost repair fatal damage in an instant. However, you have never absorbed similar energy before, so there may be a certain rejection reaction, and the consequences are unpredictable, and the risk is relatively large.
"And if you use the technology of another big world, as far as I know, there is a universe that is selling therapeutic agents with good effects. The only problem is that the production principle of the therapeutic agent partially refers to the self-repair ability of lizards. If the dosage is too large, unknown mutations may also occur. Moreover, the other party's asking price is very high; if the dosage is too large, we may not be able to afford it."
"Sounds like neither is a good choice."
"They are just stopgap measures," Adventure Batman said, "Actually, the biggest problem is that you are too seriously injured, but we don't have more time to handle it properly."
"Let's not talk about this first." Ben-Bat terminated the topic, and he said, "Now I want to know, besides helping me recover, what other measures do you have to deal with the crisis."
The two looked at each other again. Main Universe Batman said: "I have already sent the equipment list over; didn't you read it?"
Ben-Bat shook his head and said: "I don't want these conventional equipment."
"But..." Adventure Batman said with some difficulty, "With your physical condition, I am afraid you can't use more radical equipment."
"It is because my physical condition is not good that I can only use more radical equipment." Ben-Bat said, "If even the residual heat cannot be exerted, the young Justice League in my universe simply cannot deal with such a serious crisis."
"But I heard Superman has already..."
"He is too young." Ben-Bat lowered his eyes and said, "Compared to mastering his own power and transforming the world, he is still in the stage of exploring the world. This cannot be rushed."
The three were silent for a while. Main Universe Batman said: "I think we can ask that one. He used magic to transform his Batmobile, and the effect is very good; he should have come up with a set of magic-transformed equipment now..."
Adventure Batman knew he was referring to Arkham Batman. He nodded and was about to open the Battleworld interface to contact Arkham Batman, but at this moment, Ben-Bat looked at Main Universe Batman and said: "You have a Hellbat armor."
Main Universe Batman's movements paused, and Ben-Bat continued: "The forum topped the video highlights of the multiverse war, and I saw someone introducing in the comment section that the armor you wore in the final battle..."
"No," Main Universe Batman refused very decisively, and he said, "I use magic energy to power that armor, but if you have no experience in absorbing and using magic energy, what you can consume is only your life force. And with your current physical condition, wearing this thing is no different from suicide."
"I need the final trump card." Ben-Bat said, "Besides, even if it is driven by life force, it is not completely impossible to think of..."
Main Universe Batman silently looked at him. Although Ben-Bat looked a bit old, he didn't look like he was giving up on himself; perhaps he really had a way.
A tall battle armor flashing with red light was dragged out of the portal. Bruce stood in the center of the Batcave, looking at the legendary "Hellbat Armor," and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
He took out his phone and dialed the number. Soon, Schiller appeared at the entrance of the Batcave. Seeing this armor, he also clicked his tongue in wonder.
"It seems that this crisis is really serious, otherwise Main Universe Batman would probably not take out this big baby." Schiller circled the armor.
"Perhaps, some things start too late and end too early." Bruce sighed inexplicably, "If I could design and build such an armor at his age, many things would not have happened, and I would not be so powerless."
"I think you probably got the cause and effect wrong," Schiller shook his head and said, "If you had this ability, you wouldn't need this armor, and things wouldn't have developed to what they are today."
Bruce did not refute, but nodded, and then he said: "That's true. Let's not talk about those; we have to survive this hurdle first. Do you have any good ideas?"
"It seems you are very sure that I have a way to let you wear this armor."
"I have heard of your great name in Battleworld," Bruce turned around to look at him and said, "What you did in my universe is indeed worthy of your reputation. Now, the stage has been set; don't you intend to let us see it?"
Schiller still looked up at the armor and then said: "I do have a way. But the old rules still apply; you say your plan, I say my plan."
"I have already obtained the list of members of the Main Universe Justice League," Bruce walked over, clicked on the computer screen, and the information of many people appeared on the screen next to it, and he said, "I will go and recruit them one by one."
"Method?"
"I know that if I just appear in their lives out of thin air, they probably won't agree."
"Are you planning to wait until there is a monster invading Earth, threatening their lives, and then go to persuade them?"
"Then what is the difference between me and Amanda?" Bruce turned around again and said, "How Clark decided to fight for Earth, they will also do the same. I'm just old, but my brain can still be used."
Schiller probably knew what he was planning to do, so he said: "How much do you know about Greek mythology?"
"You mean the Olympian pantheon? Wonder Woman's hometown?"
"That's right."
"You must know a lot. First it was ancient Egyptian mythology, then Greek mythology; you like to make articles in this regard."
"Of course, because it's simple and easy to use. In Greek mythology, what caused the conflict between Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite?"
Bruce raised his eyes slightly: "... Golden apple."
"Golden apple?" Diana frowned at the man in front of her. He picked up the coffee cup, took a sip of coffee, looked at the flow of people outside the cafe, and then said, "Why ask this suddenly?"
"The crisis is imminent. I'm afraid you don't have the confidence to deal with all the enemies alone. If you want Batman to return to his peak, the golden apple is the best choice." Schiller looked at him and said.
"Return to the peak? You mean, he is not at the peak now???" Diana looked incredulous, "How much more money does he want? Buy the whole Earth?"
"It's not a matter of money," Schiller said helplessly, "He used to be a superhero with the smartest brain in the world, but now he is trapped by the injuries left in his youth and inevitable aging; his youth is gone."
Diana rubbed the cup, seeming to feel a bit uncertain. Schiller straightened up and then said: "If you want to know more about him, or know more about yourself, why not go to Battleworld?"
"... You mean that advertising trap?"
"The invitation was designed by me."
"Sorry."
Schiller shook his head and said: "I'm glad you think it's an advertising trap, not something else more deadly. I once thought about forcing buying and selling, letting people be pulled in the moment they touch the invitation, but considering that some people do have stress disorders, I finally gave up this radical approach."
"Then I think the advertising trap is also quite good," Diana said, "Absenteeism without leave will make me lose my job. However, do you think I can go in and see, what will I see there?"
"Your counterpart, of course, they usually call each other sisters, and you are one of them. They can tell you more about superheroes."
"Okay, I'm also curious about what I would look like in other universes." Diana said, "I hope we can get along happily."
"After this, Batman should gather us to go to Wayne Manor." Schiller stood up and said, "It's time to unite, heroes." ===== CHAPTER 4350 =====
