Chapter 3613: Injustice Alliance (II)
"If you must do this, I don't recommend you to be too straightforward. It would be best if you can appeal to their emotions and reason with them. If you can't, don't break things off too soon, otherwise it will easily put us in a passive position." Green Lantern shook his head and said.
"Of course I know." Superman's tone seemed to contain a storm. He put his hands on the table, crossed his fingers and said, "If they knew our intentions, they would never agree. We can't use force to force them."
"Why not?" Wonder Woman asked.
At this time, Batman, who was monitoring the situation in the conference room with a monitoring device, realized that Diana from the previous universe was right. There was something wrong with Wonder Woman in their universe. In addition to her inexplicable stance, her IQ was also problematic.
"Because they have the power of time." Flash said, "People who have this power are very powerful. If they can go back to the universe indefinitely as you said, then we can't be their opponents."
"You claim to have the power of time," Wonder Woman said, "but you haven't done anything."
"That's totally different," the Flash said. "I control the Speed Force, not real time. I can't change the past. You think I haven't tried?"
Wonder Woman looked away, showing some disdain. Superman continued, "I don't want to reveal my intentions right from the start, as this will make them extra defensive. I hope they use this power to protect themselves."
"That's right. If they come to fight Brainiac, but get into danger and have to use the power of time travel to save themselves, it doesn't count as us targeting them," Wonder Woman added.
Batman sighed in the room. It would be best if Superman didn't really want to do this, but judging from the situation, even if he didn't want to do this, Wonder Woman would persuade him to do it.
But this is very stupid, and it completely treats the opponent as a fool. But unfortunately, the opponent's intelligence is intact, and it can even be said to be extremely smart.
Negotiating with smart people requires a give-and-take exchange of interests. It can be said that as long as the interests are big enough, they will help.
So what Batman is worried about is the consequences of going back in time, not whether the other party will help him go back in time. He knows exactly what the other party wants, but he doesn't want to give it, so he doesn't go out and expresses his protest with silence.
But now it seems that the group sitting outside can't even see this. They still want to gain the opponent's power through deception and fooling, but this doesn't work at all.
Originally, if their talks broke down, it would be a good thing for Batman, but it was not that simple at all, because Batman had already seen that the opponent was not the "Justice" League.
Compared to his group of cutely silly companions, the other side is the real Injustice League.
They are not like the Justice League in other universes who follow the rules and have justice in their hearts. They talk about ideology but are all business in their hearts, and they will take revenge for any slight, showing a deeper evil and madness than super criminals.
It's not a good idea to fool them.
Should he go out and tell them the consequences of doing so and try to salvage the situation, or should he stay here and clean up the mess after their talks break down? Batman's mind was constantly swaying.
But at this moment, the fool's inspiration flashed and emitted an even brighter light.
"If they used time travel to deal with Brainiac in their universe, and did it many times, it means that they cannot defeat Brainiac head-on. Maybe we can take advantage of this." Wonder Woman said.
Batman felt that he could not figure out how this logic worked even if he thought about it for three days and three nights. But no one at the scene raised any objections. The silence coming from the monitoring device made Batman gradually begin to re-understand the human species.
"I think we can pretend to go with them to fight Brainiac, and then retreat at the critical moment. They are forced into a corner by Brainiac, and they will naturally use that power to rewind time."
"But they won't go back to the right time." Flash glanced at Superman and said, "No need to go back as far as we need."
"Maybe we can disrupt them," said Wonder Woman.
This silences Batman, too. This is pretty much the equivalent of "maybe we can disrupt a nuclear bomb in flight."
Superman has been silent, and Batman thinks he has another plan. This is not a good sign. The other party has finally started to use his super brain. His starting point is good, but he'd better not start.
"They will be here soon," Superman said. "I hope you can be more enthusiastic and no one should let the cat out of the bag."
Superman glanced around and said, "...I can hear it all, you know."
"We are united around you and will naturally help you. You have to be careful of Batman." Wonder Woman said, "If you don't keep him under control, he may tell each other all our plans."
"And then make the other person laugh to death?" Batman thought to himself, "That sounds like something the Joker would do."
"He locked you up before, so why not lock him up once?" Wonder Woman said, "At least don't let him have the chance to contact them. What do you think?"
"You can't imprison Batman!" said the Flash.
"But this is for the earth." Wonder Woman raised her voice and said, "Before, he locked up Superman for the safety of the earth. Why can't he be locked up for the safety of the earth now? Is he just sacrificing others?"
"I don't understand whether you are thinking about the safety of the earth or your own selfish desires." The Flash slammed the table hard and said, "Why can't you learn to accept what has happened, learn lessons, and learn to stay sober?!"
"Well said," Batman thought to himself, "but it's useless."
"Sit down, Barry!" Superman looked at him and said, "You have no right to speak here."
"Don't even think about making me listen to you, you cruel executioner! You killed the Joker and you can say he was your enemy, then why did you kill Shazam?! He is innocent! He is still a child!!" The Flash has started roaring.
"I say, sit down!" A laser beam came over, and the Flash instantly disappeared in the golden light.
The others stood up and took precautions. The Flash's attack was hard to defend against, and they couldn't help but be nervous.
But after waiting for a long time, the golden lightning did not appear. Wonder Woman sneered and said, "A coward who runs away from the battlefield! This is what Batman taught him."
After a while, Batman saw a golden light appear in his field of vision. He did not speak, for fear of being heard by Superman.
But the person who appeared in front of him was not the Flash he was familiar with, but another younger figure.
The light on Barry faded, and then another golden figure chased out. The Flash was very nervous, and just as he was about to say something, Barry shook his head at him and pointed to the meeting room next door.
Barry pressed his hand against the wall. The dark-gold light spread out until it covered the entire surface of the wall.
Batman saw that all the places touched by the black and gold light began to produce tiny debris. The light of the universe flashed in the debris, and then gradually gathered into cracks, as if the entire space was cut off.
"Hello, Batman. Looks like you're in a bit of trouble."
"Are you from your universe?"
"Yes, I'm here to explore the way, and I came to ask you by the way."
"Asked me what?"
"We want to talk to you, but we are only willing to talk to you. Although we can't say that Batman is more important than Superman, at this stage, we need Batman's power more."
"What is this? An ultimatum?"
"Of course not. We have other options besides you. After all, there are many Batmans in the multiverse. We chose you because your universe is in a state of disrepair and meets our requirements."
"You know you sound like a cultist right now?"
"I'm glad you're in the mood for a joke," Barry said. "Perhaps your trip to our universe didn't teach you much about who we are."
"I don't need to know any more."
"You'll realize more, soon enough."
After Barry left, Flash sat down next to Batman. He said, "He is very powerful. I was controlled by him almost instantly. That mysterious black power gave me a very bad feeling. Batman, you are right. Superman is inviting a wolf into the house."
Batman remained silent and did not agree with Flash. He was just thinking.
Barry can travel through time, and the Barry in that universe is particularly good at this. Although he has not seen it with his own eyes, Batman can guess that it must be Barry who is the main force to go back in time in that universe.
After he came to this universe, did he go to the future to have a look? Did he come back from the future and see something happening, so he came to persuade me?
Batman wasn't sure, but he knew that if that was the case, some of the things that would happen in the future would be very tragic.
If he stood up and talked to them now, there might be hope of reversing the situation. But Batman didn't want to do that.
He knew what the Justice League of that universe wanted to talk to him about. Barry had already mentioned that the Earth of this universe was in a state of disrepair.
To ordinary people, the mess created by Superman's tyranny is a big problem. But Batman knows that a stable order is hard to shake, but if it is a mess, it is easy to establish a new order.
The Justice League of that universe wants to help him restore order, but they are certainly not so kind. They will definitely intervene and shape the order into what they want.
Would that be better for ordinary people? Batman didn't know, he was still thinking and couldn't make a decision.
It's not that he wasn't decisive, but he was deeply aware that the impact this would have on their universe was far more profound than it seemed.
Especially looking at the entire multiverse, if the Justice League of that universe is to restore the order of this universe, it means that Batman is on the same chariot as them. In the future, no matter which universe or organization in the multiverse he deals with, Batman can only stand on their side.
This may not be a good thing, especially when Batman has not seen through them. His caution prevents him from making a decision so quickly.
But there is another possibility, they are only willing to talk to him, and if he doesn't talk, some fools will bleed.
Batman doesn't know if it's his own selfish desires that are at work. He can only try his best to control himself and not think about it. He just needs time to think and make a decision, rather than letting it go and taking revenge on someone.
