Chapter 4064 MU: The Superbody Incident (144)
Night Owl was genuinely startled. He rolled away in a flustered manner, barely dodging the heat rays. But the two heat rays had carved a deep trench in the ground. Good heavens, that's even more ruthless than Superpower. And who are you subordinate to?
“Batman,” Injustice Superman called to Injustice Batman, “come with me.”
Injustice Batman stood up and walked towards him.
The two left the meeting room. It was clear that Batman was willing to speak but didn't want to, while Superman wanted to speak but dared not. In short, everyone remained silent, making the atmosphere in the meeting room exceptionally strange.
"Aren't you going to say anything?" Night Owl asked. "Isn't that Batman being controlled by that evil Superman? As his counterpart, why aren't you going to save him? Is this the justice you claim to uphold?"
“He did it voluntarily,” said the main universe Batman.
"Are you kidding me?" Night Owl scoffed. "What Batman would willingly let Superman control him? Would you?"
“If my universe’s Clark Kent dared to tax the rich with 96%, I would too,” said the main universe’s Batman.
"Uh..." Night Owl choked for a moment, as if only then realizing what he had just heard. He raised his voice and said, "96% tax? Why doesn't he just rob people?!"
Then it dawned on him: others might not be able to, but Superman really could. After all, his body of steel makes him impervious to assassination. But this guy rules the earth, and he actually goes around robbing the rich to help the poor? And he even robbed Batman?
"Even so, you can't just let this happen. What about the humanitarianism you always talk about? Even if he did it voluntarily, this method is still unacceptable, isn't it?"
“Don’t jump to conclusions if you’re not Batman,” said the Adventurer Batman. “It’s precisely because he’s our counterpart that we understand. Maybe if we saved him, he would resent us. We wouldn’t do something so thankless.”
Night Owl was truly speechless: "Do you want to hear what you're saying? One person willingly allowed himself to be mind-controlled, and a bunch of people think he really did it willingly. Even I, a madman, think you're all insane."
Owl couldn't accept this twisted relationship at all. He only wanted to use it to attack Batman, and didn't really want to save anyone. After receiving a collective denial from Batman, he didn't delve deeper or make any effort; he just talked about it and moved on.
But one person took it seriously: Injustice Superman, standing right outside the conference room door. Good heavens! There was still someone who understood. He was truly fed up with being the bad guy.
If he's wrong, he can be locked up in Fortress of Solitude. He could even tolerate being locked up with Wonder Woman from Injustice, instead of wearing a long face all day, listening to people talk about how he mind-controlled Batman, and then watching them stiffly remain silent as if nothing happened when the attention shifts to that.
“If you’ve only wanted to torment me, then you win,” Injustice Superman said, looking at Injustice Batman. “You’ve used up all the knowledge we have for each other. I will hate you for the rest of my life.”
“Then hate.” Batman Injustice smiled and said, “I’m honored that you’re a Superman who can genuinely hate others.”
"Stop with the vague talk, I've had enough. So why did you call me here?"
“We’re short-handed,” said the Injustice Batman. “A lot of Supermen died in the last battle. Anyone we can contact will be brought in to make up the numbers, and you’re one of them, of course.”
"If you had considered my life or death even for a moment, you wouldn't have made me one of them." Injustice Superman sighed. "What do you want me to do now? Go back to Superman's office and have a good, thorough warm-up exercise with them, making a fool of myself in the next world?"
"They'll tolerate you because they need your power. More importantly, Batman needs your power. So, they won't make things difficult for you."
“No, you have to come with me,” Injustice Superman said through gritted teeth.
“They’ll interpret that as showing off.” The Unjust Batman raised an eyebrow again. “Showing off your evil spoils, showing off your ruthlessness, showing off your unreasonableness. Be careful, you might actually get beaten up.”
"This was the plan you proposed, and now you're leaving me to face all of this alone?!" Injustice Superman said in a low voice.
"Of course not, don't I also face many Batmen's sympathetic and admiring gazes?"
"They won't hit you!"
“They’ll try to study me,” Batman Injustice shrugged. “I even suspect they’ll go to Professor X for help because of me.”
Then Injustice suddenly tensed up and said, "Can Professor X tell?"
"Even if he could see through it, why would he help us?"
"Uh, this would be a good blow to Batman's reputation?"
“But I’m not Batman’s leader, so I can easily dismiss this as a trivial joke. Or Professor X might just think it’s a joke and never bring it up.”
Injustice Superman looked on in astonishment. Injustice Batman, however, shook his head and said, "He and his old partner do things way crazier than this."
"for example?"
"Batman from the main universe had us research Magneto's helmet, and guess what? It was made of plastic."
"what?"
“We conducted a series of material tests and determined that it was pure plastic without any special structure. There were also two teeth marks on the lower edge, which looked like they were bitten by a six-month-old baby.”
"They have a six-month-old baby?! Is Magneto in their universe a woman, or is Professor X a woman?"
Batman Unjust couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "What I mean is, that helmet is completely unremarkable, it doesn't even offer basic protection. If a child's baby teeth can leave a mark on it, how could it possibly be made of any sturdy material?"
Injustice didn't say much, saying, "Maybe it's just a decorative prop, something to look cool, similar to my helmet."
“But the main universe Batman asked us to create a brainwave shield based on this helmet,” said Batman Injustice. “He clearly misunderstands the relationship between the two of them.”
"He didn't know they had a child together?"
"Are you drunk?" Batman Injustice stopped and said, "Are you even listening to what I'm saying?"
"You said that Professor X and Magneto were very wild when they were young. You got your hands on a Magneto helmet with a child's teeth marks on it. So, do you think Professor X knew they had a child? Didn't Magneto tell him?"
“You should watch less of those 8 o’clock dramas,” the Unjust Batman finally snapped. “I mean, this so-called mind-blocking helmet is completely useless, but Magneto still wears it all the time.”
"Maybe that was their token of love. You still haven't told me which one of them is the woman."
Injustice Batman clutched his forehead. It seemed Injustice Superman's super brain had been fried from working too fast before; now he was just spouting whatever came to mind.
"In short, the main universe Batman gave me an impossible mission."
"Come on, that's for me. They all think I've got you under my control. Do you think the main universe's Batman would expect a Superman like me to develop some kind of mind-blocking device for him? Relax, buddy, it's not your turn."
The injustice-ridden Batman was speechless. It seems this super brain hasn't completely burned out yet; it hit the nail on the head, directly addressing the core issue.
“But you can actually build it,” Batman Injustice had no choice but to say bluntly. “Brainiac’s ship really does have brainwave control technology, doesn’t it? You’ve seen it, you have the blueprints. If you don’t build it, the main universe’s Batman will ask you for it sooner or later. Otherwise, why would he let you come here?”
"Didn't you say that Superman sacrificed too much and they were short-handed?"
"Then just let me go, since you're the one controlling me anyway."
"You mean he called me over here because he wanted to get the blueprints for the brainwave control device to use against Professor X? Is that thing even useful?"
"In their view, if that thing can control Batman, how could it be useless?"
"But I don't really control you. What if it doesn't work?" Unjust Superman was really confused by him.
"You're not a normal Superman, you're an evil Superman who mind-controls Batman. Giving him fake blueprints is perfectly normal. To prevent you from tricking him, the main universe Batman will also carefully examine the blueprints and confirm their feasibility. Even if it doesn't work in the end, he'll only blame himself for not seeing through your scheme."
"Then call his Superman to beat me up?"
"His Superman is dead, otherwise would I dare let you come here?"
Now it was Injustice Superman's turn to be speechless.
"Anyway, just give me the blueprints, and I'll bring them up during my research. They'll know it was you who suggested it. The main universe's Batman knows you have this technology, so he'll definitely focus on studying it. If it's useful, it might improve his impression of you; if it's not, well, without Superman, he can't beat you anyway."
“But his Superman isn’t really dead, so he still can’t escape this beating, can he?” Injustice Superman sighed, but still nodded and said, “Okay, I can only make a copy of the information for you, but I don’t know if it will be of any use.”
Soon, Injustice Batman left with the data and returned to the lab to begin studying the useless helmet with the other Batmen. In the process, he revealed the technical data and blueprints of the brainwave controller.
Meanwhile, the main universe's Batman is discussing matters with the Manhattan Batman. The main issue concerns their base: although dimensional separation has been implemented, it's not foolproof, given the enemy's dimensional-jumping technology. While their coordinates are currently untraceable, the enemy possesses numerous powerful individuals, and some might be able to break through; further defenses are necessary.
“I can add a magical defense network to this planet,” Superbody said. “However, this technology itself comes from the mages here, and they could very well be able to break through it.”
Just then, Manhattan Batman narrowed his eyes and said, "Someone is carrying out a dimensional invasion...it seems to be those sorcerers. They have very sophisticated spatial breakthrough technology."
“Their portal technology is incredibly advanced,” the main universe Batman said. “Can we hold them off? If not, let them in and fight.”
"It's nothing, just a bunch of low-dimensional beings," Manhattan Batman said nonchalantly. He simply stretched out a hand and made a pinch in the air. The main universe Batman saw his hand suddenly flash, and a piece of paper appeared out of thin air, on which were many sorcerers.
It was a very peculiar perspective, as if he had suddenly become a higher-dimensional being, looking down upon lower-dimensional beings. The other party was completely unaware that he was watching them.
“That’s incredible,” said the main universe Batman.
“We can exchange prisoners of war with them,” said the Manhattan Batman. “We can use the sorcerer to get Superman out.”
"what?"
“Superman. There are a few Supermen with strong mental abilities who didn’t die, they’re just temporarily trapped. We can use these sorcerers to trade with them, and at the same time let them know that we’re not to be trifled with. Even if their most powerful mutants came, something might happen to them. This way we can achieve strategic deterrence, and no one will dare to use nuclear weapons first.”
Brain-controlled infarction is insurmountable.
