Chapter 74 The player does not allow the player to kick back a bento box.

The last time Jason used the Batplane was when he was working with the villain team. After that, it was kept at the Bat's secret base near Wayne Enterprises for maintenance. The cabin is spacious and clean, and Jason's new motorcycle doesn't feel cramped inside.

"Why aren't you wearing the Batman suit?" Tim noticed that the player was always wearing casual clothes, which was not conducive to his self-protection.

Tim doesn't wear his uniform because he doesn't have time, but players can put on their nanobat armor efficiently and quickly.

"Intuition," the player said deeply.

"What?" Tim asked, puzzled by the nonsensical answer.

"My intuition tells me that if Steppenwolf had seen me in the Batman suit, I would have been killed on the spot," Wen Yue sighed. Although she had only regained partial memories, her intuitive instincts were strongly warning her that donning the Batman identity would draw all enemy fire and aggro. It wasn't that she didn't want to wear it; she was afraid to.

Tim seemed to be deep in thought, recalling how Steppenwolf's attempt to kill Superman had failed because Batman had taken the hit for him, and he nodded in agreement.

Surprisingly, the player was quite self-aware.

Wen Yue sent a message to Harley's team, summoning them to deal with the Parademons invasion of Gotham. She originally intended to continue cooperating with the villains as Red Robin, but unexpectedly discovered that the team members had been recruited by the Batman family. It seems that the player will do quite a bit during their time as Batman in this world.

After handling the aftermath of the emergency, Wen Yue suddenly heard something fall to the ground behind her. She turned around and saw the lonely mother box lying on the ground.

She bent down and picked up the cube that was flashing with mysterious runes. The Mother Box was in a semi-activated state due to the influence of Apokolips. Now the Mother Box was like a locator, constantly emitting energy fluctuations that called out. Even if she put it in her personal space, it would be of no use, as Apokolips technology would sense its location.

The mother box disappeared from Wen Yue's hands; its only purpose in being placed in the player's backpack was for easy carrying.

The bat-shaped fighter jet took off, defiantly breaking free of the ground, and headed away from Wayne Manor.

"Where's the raven?"

Jason and Dick exchanged glances, both looking equally puzzled. Tim remained silent, avoiding the player's questions.

Wen Yue paused for a moment, then looked out the plane window as if she realized something.

The air vibrated like ripples in a pool, and a terrifying, evil energy dyed the edge of the night sky even darker than black, as the dark clouds dispersed to reveal an eerie red moon.

Near Wayne Manor, the air trembled and cracked, and countless tentacles formed from shadows burst forth, spreading and growing. The ubiquitous soft tentacles concealed deadly intent, indiscriminately attacking friend and foe alike. Buildings, trees, and lawns lost their outlines and were twisted into a pile of mud. The bloodthirsty darkness continued to expand outward, pulverizing the Parademons.

Endless tentacles swarmed around the center, and the giant bird formed from the convergence of shadows suddenly opened its four eyes, like a ferocious beast breaking free of its shackles, its eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty and cold red light.

The piercing screams of the Parademons gradually faded into the distance, and the darkness and shadows within the countless tentacles became increasingly blurred, with Wayne Manor turning into a tiny black dot left behind them.

"So powerful..." Dick exclaimed in amazement.

Shadows and darkness manifest as tentacles to attack, manipulating matter and space—these are all Raven's abilities. Her magical power is immense, even surpassing that of some demon lords.

"This is bad." Wen Yue's expression turned grave. "The raven has gone out of control."

Raven uses most of her power to maintain the seal on Sanguma and suppress the influence of the evil power within her. Under normal circumstances, Raven would not use her magic so recklessly.

This was the first time Raven had unleashed her magic without reservation. To buy time for the rest of the Bat-family, she fought countless enemies single-handedly, brutally defeating Steppenwolf and leaving numerous Parademons helpless. However, such immense magical power also meant that the evil forces within her were no longer restrained. This unleashed evil magic would reverse and distort her mind, plunging her into chaos and rampage. The appearance of the four-eyed red raven signified that her negative emotions could no longer be suppressed.

Upon learning the information provided by Wen Yue, everyone understood the seriousness of the situation. Dick's earlier excitement vanished, and his hand, which had been resting on the window, turned white.

“We have to wake her up. If she has been affected and her mind is distorted, it is irreversible. The sooner we do it, the easier it is for her to break free from the influence and wake up. The later we do it, the slimmer the chances become.” Wen Yue has already made her choice between the Mother Box and her family.

The Bat fighter jet made an emergency turn and headed resolutely back to the place it had just fled from.

“Bruce, I’m sorry. Actually, I was aware of Raven’s plan at the time, but I didn’t stop him… It was my fault.” Tim was somewhat at a loss.

Wen Yue placed her hand on Tim's back, gazing at Wayne Manor as it gradually came into focus in the distance. "No, it's not your fault. You didn't expect things to turn out this way. In fact, none of us are at fault; the enemy is undoubtedly the one who is. But I hope that next time you face the same crisis, you will choose yourselves."

The sky reflected on the sea always embraces everything, and the azure eyes where clouds and sea intertwine are as warm as jade. The calm tone reveals the heart: "No matter what, you are the most important. I can take everything back afterward, but I am very afraid of you... afraid of losing you."

Tim had witnessed players providing psychological counseling to others, but when he became the person involved, the feeling was completely different. He nodded blankly, and the extinguished light in his eyes lit up again.

The moon is unaware of its own brightness, and the grains of sand are unaware of their own nature. Many things are unknowable; one can perceive them but cannot comprehend them. Making a rational choice is not difficult; what is most unbearable is the terrible consequences that the choice may lead to.

It takes courage to make choices that go against one's own reason, choices based on one's heart. But for a player, it simply means the difficulty of the game increases, and they can only try their best to turn the tide afterward. Wen Yue wasn't absolutely certain of winning this game, but she didn't want to give up on what she cherished from the very beginning.

Players don't want to win with nothing.

“Bruce, I’ll go alone,” Dick suddenly said. “I’ll go wake Raven, you guys take the Mother Box and go.” Raven had volunteered to stay behind for the sake of the Bat family members, and if they still failed, wouldn’t Raven’s efforts have been in vain?

Wen Yue remained silent for a long time before saying, "You might die." The player's emotions were in disagreement.

“I have plenty of gadgets. I can survive on my own.” Dick was confident he would survive. “Trust me, Bruce.”

“I will do everything I can to bring back the raven,” he said.

Wen Yue opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, she said nothing. A thousand thoughts were suppressed in her heart, and she nodded in silence.

“I’ll go too. My Robin can act as our eyes, finding a safe path to avoid the Parademons when we take the Raven,” Tim said, his mind made up.

Wen Yue could see the determination in his eyes, a firm belief in salvaging everything. "Okay, take care of yourself." The player didn't object; when she agreed to be the first, she was already prepared.

Wen Yue bent down and gave Tim a light hug, bidding them farewell.

As the cargo bridge deck of the Batplane lowered, Dick pulled Tim towards the clouds. Tim, quick-witted, grabbed the door frame beside him, startled by the sudden turn of events: "Wait, are you going to jump?" He wanted to save people, not risk his life.

“It’s okay, I can take you gliding.” Dick smiled, revealing two dimples. In contrast to his innocent and sweet smile, his actions were forceful. Robin, with superhuman strength, pried open Tim’s trembling hand gripping the door frame and, with Tim on the verge of tears, leaped down into the sea of ​​clouds.

The fierce wind howled in his ears, and the rapid freefall from the sky made his heart pound. Tim let out a desperate howl.

With the blue lark's blessing, Dick was fearless, steadily carrying Tim as they soared through the sky like the wind's darlings. The simulated biological force field device shielded them from the cold wind—a gift from Superman in the vampire king's world.

"Charge! Save the Raven!" Dick led his men toward Wayne Manor.

"Help, help me!" Young Master Tim thought this was still too advanced; at least let him put on a parachute.

...

Inside the Bat fighter jet, Wen Yue operated the control panel, and the belly panel slowly closed.

“You gave him the Nanobat Armor.” Jason noticed that the player, under the guise of a hug, put the Nanobracelet into Tim’s school uniform pocket.

"The nanotech armor has a Red Robin mode, which will protect him in dangerous situations," Wen Yue explained calmly, turning her head slightly and raising the corner of her eye.

In the world of Vampire King, players once disguised themselves as Red Robin and left behind particle memories when repairing Red Robin's uniform with nanoparticles, allowing them to transform into Red Robin's uniform form.

“Your Batman suit isn’t on the fighter jet,” Jason said, leaning against his motorcycle with his arms crossed. “What are you going to use to fight Steppenwolf?”

“Even with a uniform, I still can’t beat Steppenwolf.” Wen Yue said helplessly, her gentle gaze falling on Jason, and she said calmly, “It’s okay, I have you here.”

Jason, the player's strong support and forward.

The fighter jet vibrated slightly, and scattered Parademons appeared outside the window.

"So fast? It seems Dick and Tim are quite efficient." Wen Yue looked up at the sky through the transparent glass, where countless Parademons appeared on the horizon, chasing after her.

The fact that the Parademons caught up so quickly indicates that Raven's power has weakened, but it also suggests that the possibility of Raven regaining her senses is higher, and that she hasn't completely lost her humanity. Although she may later face the Trigon breaking free of her seal, everything can still be salvaged.

"Ready? We're about to unleash some speed and passion." Wen Yue smiled slightly and began racing.

"Be ready at any time. You pilot, I retaliate." Jason sat at the control panel, rapidly maneuvering the aircraft and activating its reserve weapons arsenal.

Artillery fire and bullets flew together with flashes of light and roars. One by one, the Parademons surrounding the fighter lost their mobility and fell from mid-air. The Parademons could not even keep up with the speed of ammunition replenishment. In the blink of an eye, only two or three remained. A single shell emptied the battlefield.

The clash ended swiftly and overwhelmingly, with Jason effortlessly dismantling the enemy encirclement and efficiently eliminating the Parademon pursuers. This time, the pay-to-win teammates and Bat Tech had a slight edge, and Jason carried the casual players to victory, dominating the entire arena.

Jason finished aiming his weapon, looking unsatisfied: "I've only just warmed up. Pfft, not a single one of them is any good."
