Chapter 58: Thank you for the invitation. The wolf is feigning sleep, a pretext to lure the enemy. ...
"Let's head back first, come to my house for a visit." Wen Yue activated the hover mode and said to Martha without looking up. The player drove the Batmobile at full speed, hovering and sprinting ahead, leaving those private cars that were driving obediently on the road far behind.
This is certainly not the player deserting; the player is going back to retrieve their spear. The Kryptonite Spear, an essential weapon against Kryptonian creatures, exclusively crafted by Batman.
Blessed is Doomsday.
The Fourth Calamity Bat Family Bundle (Name Already Set, Do Not Change!) Group Chat —
[Bowane]: How's your mission going?
[Digra]: Aquaman isn't cooperating, we're going to go find the Flash.
[Dodo]: We've been teleported to The Flash's house, but no one's home.
[Tidley]: We found Cyborg, but his father has been captured by Parademons. We're going to go with Cyborg to rescue his father.
[Jetsund]: Steelbone has a mother box, which I have placed in the isolation device you provided as requested.
[Bwayne]: Raven and Dick's mission is canceled. You, Tim, and Jason will go to help Cyborg. You don't need to fight the Parademons directly. After finding Cyborg's father, you can teleport directly out of the Parademon's lair.
[Digra]: Received!
[Dodo]: Understood.
[Tidley] sent location information.
[Tidley]: Come here.
[Jay Thoud]: We came in the Batmobile, keep an eye out. Cyborg and I will go in first to scout, Tim will be waiting for you in the car. @Tidley, you're in charge of those two.
[Tidley]: ...Would it kill you to speak directly when we're this close?
[Jesus Todd]: No.
...
Wisps of smoke rose, the sky was shrouded in the black ash of the nuclear explosion, and the island was deserted for miles around, devoid of any sign of life.
While Wen Yue was away at home, America's military manually increased the difficulty level, launching a nuclear missile that severely damaged their allies. Atomic radiation and nuclear weapons weren't Doomsday's weaknesses, but Superman's. This not only rendered Superman incapacitated but also provided Doomsday with the energy to unleash his second phase of power—a clear case of a liability. Players who were initially eager to engage the enemy silently withdrew.
Forget it, let's find our main DPS who's floating in space first, otherwise we have no chance of winning this game.
But Doomsday thought this was a good opportunity. Heat vision burst forth from his eyes. Seeing that things were not going well, Wen Yue quickly turned the car around and did a dragon tail swing. The heat vision narrowly missed the car body.
Fortunately, Doomsday crashed on a sparsely populated island. Its heat vision only scratched the paint on the Batmobile, demolished the already dilapidated buildings into ruins, and turned a few scattered roads into broken concrete and twisted steel bars. Other than that, it did not cause any other damage.
Doomsday only needs to turn his neck and shoot heat vision from his eyes, but the player has to do much more. Not only do they have to swerve the Batmobile to avoid it, but they also have to use Kryptonite bullets to strafe Doomsday from a distance, weakening the enemy's combat power while drawing a lot of aggro.
As players accumulated more and more hatred, Doomsday, which had been suffering setbacks, became enraged and went into overdrive, with its heat vision sweeping frequency and speed increasing exponentially.
Wen Yue could barely keep up at first, but later she completely gave up, relying entirely on the Bat AI's autopilot to carry her. The player isn't some legendary racer, and the skill required to outmaneuver Doomsday is far too much; it's really giving the player, an ordinary person, too much credit.
Another wave of intense light swept across the Batmobile, causing it to fly erratically after being damaged.
The Batmobile's flight system malfunctioned, forcing it to land. The flying vehicle was downgraded to a racing car to continue, and the offline speed and passion were reduced to dodging on the ground, which was incomparable to the previous game experience. Players immediately became obedient and dared not have fun anymore. The current situation is critical and there is nothing left to rely on.
With the Batmobile restricted to the ground, the difficulty of kiting the monster skyrockets, and another hot-eyed, rapid-fire barrage occurs, prompting a superhero to intervene and save the day at a critical moment.
Her thick, curly, dark hair was whipped about by the air blast, her classic red, blue, and gold suit exuding a powerful, timeless aura. Wonder Woman's eyes were firm and sharp; this resolute warrior was utterly unafraid of Doomsday, whose eyes glowed red. She crossed her arms to protect her silver bracelets, creating a defensive field to deflect the attack, instantly overturning Doomsday's massive form.
The critical situation was instantly resolved, and Wen Yue wiped the fine sweat from her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
I nearly died; I almost had to restart. Sure enough, the cure was within seven steps. Thanks to Wonder Woman for her strategic brilliance.
Wen Yue took out the Superman pills Damian had given her earlier, swallowed a bio-capsule, and instantly gained immense power that enhanced her physical body. The player's perspective was finally able to keep up with Wonder Woman and Doomsday's pace; her comprehensively enhanced physique was no longer a hindrance on this battlefield.
The mechanical cat-eared armor in its fully mobile form allows the player to aim and fire red solar rays to weaken Kryptonians. This move is still in the experimental stage, so it's a good opportunity to test it out.
Red rays burst forth from the tips of the cat ears, leaping and flashing alongside Doomsday, but repeatedly missing it. The auto-tracking system's aiming accuracy was appalling, so players silently turned it off.
The accuracy of the ray's outline of the human body is not important; the main thing is that players prefer to do it themselves.
Kryptonite bullets were too conservative, and the accuracy of the red solar rays was appalling. Players simply unleashed a wide-range attack, maximizing the energy output of the red solar rays. A burst of red light erupted with a chilling power, then instantly faded and extinguished, but the fleeting red solar rays were enough to put Doomsday into a brief state of weakness.
Before Doomsday could absorb the nearby nuclear energy and return to its peak, the player pulled out an RPG, manually aimed, and fired. The damage was minimal, but the attack was highly targeted. The Bat Workshop, having meticulously modified its equipment, unleashed a barrage of kryptonite powder. At this point, forget about dust pollution; let Doomsday take a few more breaths to clear its head.
The Great Superman drifted and wandered in the universe, regenerating under the yellow sun, and rushed back to the surface without stopping. However, in the heavily polluted battlefield, the Kryptonite powder was indiscriminate in its destructive power, and the Great Superman, who had just entered the battle, almost collapsed again due to his weak legs, but still managed to do his part with amazing willpower.
Even after being heavily weakened, Superman's combat power is still stronger than the player's base stats. With Superman's addition, the critical situation on the field has been further alleviated.
The second phase boss is tough, but not a problem for players with a walkthrough guide. As we all know, Batman usually only stumbles in surprise attacks; when faced with prepared enemies and situations, Batman always has a Plan B, leading his teammates to victory.
The strategy to overthrow Doomsday involves three steps. First, bring back our main character, Superman. Superman performs admirably, returning by basking in the sun. Second, delay Doomsday's advance, with Wonder Woman, newly joined to the fray, taking over this role. Third, assemble the superheroes to besiege Doomsday, with the player, Batman, delivering the final blow with his Kryptonite spear.
With the original player's melee abilities, it would have been difficult to deliver the final blow, but with the buff from the Superman Drug, that's no longer a problem.
The original main damage dealer, Wonder Woman, was knocked away by the unleashed Doomsday, and the player took over her position to fight back. Superman fought with all his might, firmly holding Doomsday to the ground. Doomsday roared but couldn't break free. The player, Batman, appeared from behind Superman with a Kryptonite spear and launched a surprise attack, instantly defeating the big boss.
The battle was successfully completed, and Doomsday came to an end.
Facing the enemy lying on the ground, Da Chao, utterly exhausted, struggled to sit up and catch his breath. The others exchanged smiles, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, their tense bodies finally relaxing. The effects of the superhuman drug in the players' bodies also began to wear off, and a feeling of weakness washed over them.
After the fierce battle, Wen Yue, leaving the unable-to-stand Superman behind, approached Wonder Woman, adding 1 to her superhero encyclopedia entry: "Hello, I'm Batman." The player extended their hand to Diana.
“Wonder Woman.” Diana and Wen Yue shook hands politely, then looked back at Superman sitting on the ground.
"Superman." Clark, who was not far away, introduced himself with a smile, his hands on his knees.
Wen Yue raised her arm, and the intelligent AI on her gauntlet projected images and data, sincerely inviting, "I've received news that the Apokolips army is about to invade Earth, but one person's strength is ultimately limited. Therefore, I'm preparing to form an alliance that brings together heroes from all sides, called the Justice League, to work together to deal with the impending crisis facing Earth. Are you all interested in joining?"
"How could I miss out on something like this?" Wonder Woman said with great interest.
"Of course." Their eyes met, and Da Chao's answer was unwavering.
The Justice League's Big Three gathered here, and this historic moment was recorded by Batman's diligently working satellite. Wen Yue has already planned the editing of the footage afterward; it's so meaningful and valuable to keep, she's ready to secretly treasure it.
A ripple of spiritual energy spread gently, a warning rang out with a sharp wail, and the scene distorted from a spiritual perspective. As Wen Yue watched the scene unfold, it suddenly changed: behind the relaxed Superman, the axe blade gleamed coldly like starlight in the night, and the sharp battle axe carved a broken crack in the air; Steppenwolf, who had been lying in wait for a long time, raised his battle axe high, tearing through the darkness and arriving silently with blood and killing intent; the spatial fluctuations somehow transported the enemy behind Superman, through the sonic boom channel opened by the Mother Box.
—Which of the three Mother Boxes—Paradise Island, Atlantis, and the human cities—has Steppenwolf obtained it? It's more likely the enemy stole the Mother Box from Paradise Island. Jason had previously mentioned isolating the Mother Box at Cyborg's house, and Dick, Raven, and Aquaman had recently communicated, with no mention of an invasion of Atlantis. Only Wonder Woman, who joined the battle with the players and Superman's beating of Doomsday, is not on Paradise Island, making her the most likely target for Steppenwolf's attack. Behind Steppenwolf's unsportsmanlike act of a sneak attack lies Darkseid's deep fear of Superman.
Thoughts raced through the air in an instant, but actions allowed no hesitation. The screen vanished, and the player returned to reality.
Wen Yue's expression froze instantly. She turned around abruptly and rushed towards Da Chao without hesitation.
The mechanical cat-ear armor is designed with the ability to instantly accelerate while hovering, making it extremely practical. It was used to carry us during the surprise attack on Doomsday, and it will come in handy again now.
Batman's armor could withstand the axe blade, but not the immense impact. The shockwave was the most lethal, sending the player's figure blurring as they slammed into the already dilapidated and neglected building.
The crumbling wall collapsed with a deafening roar, sending pebbles flying and dust billowing up. The tremendous commotion seemed to shake the very earth.
What capital crime did the player commit that warrants being buried alive?
The light dimmed for a moment, then immediately brightened again, as Da Chao reacted quickly and dug Wen Yue out.
His internal organs groaned, Wen Yue coughed a few times, and a trace of crimson appeared at the corner of his mouth. His mortal body was overwhelmed, and his brain was screaming in pain.
This axe strike carried a hint of personal grudge, and its penetrating attack was truly impossible to defend against. The powerful internal force shattered the internal organs, and Wen Yue could feel the life of this body slowly slipping away.
Just because it can't be pierced doesn't mean it won't hurt. There's a difference between a bulletproof vest and an iron bell shield. Although the bat uniform's powerful bulletproof protection didn't penetrate the armor, all the bones inside were broken and the internal organs were shattered.
Maru, it seems like Watashi is really going to be finished here.
Doomsday and Steppenwolf put on a show of no good today: the wolf feigned sleep to lure the enemy. The dog player has finally met an opponent even more dog-like than herself; she seems to be breaking down, in every sense of the word.
The scene before my eyes gradually blurred, and the light and sound seemed to come from another world.
Superman's voice trembled as much as his grip on the player's hand, "Bruce..."
"Clark, protect the Mother Box," the player Batman succinctly commanded.
Anyway, players will revive no matter what, but Wen Yue doesn't want the earth to be destroyed by the time she wakes up, or to have to fight a losing game like before, which is too skill-intensive. It's better to explain in advance that you can manually lower the difficulty.
