Chapter 104 Chapter 104 Small in stature, with a bad temper...
Under the persuasion of two reliable, adult and experienced parents, the novice guardians finally realized that "only when they have a good rest can they take better care of their children" and decided to wait until they had caught up on some sleep and rested well before picking up their children.
Now that Superman is here, there is no need for Alfred to drive a truck in the dark disguised in human skin to transport the frozen claws from the freezer.
Superman sent the fourteen cubs to the farm, and the whole litter of magical boys and bat kids to the Blüdhaven Rental House, the Blüdhaven Rental Apartments, and Wayne Manor. He and Batman then took the frozen claws to the claw cold storage in the abandoned base of the Court of Owls.
After finishing all this, Superman finally learned from Batman what they had experienced in the past 24 hours.
"I suspect the Court of Owls isn't all that matters."
Batman and Superman stood on the pure white maze of the Court of Owls' stronghold, with newly erected claw freezing capsules on the pure white open space below.
"An organization that has the ability to take root in Gotham for so long and so deeply cannot have stayed in Gotham for hundreds of years."
"Bludhaven is very close to Gotham, and so is Metropolis."
If the Court of Owls can extend its tentacles to Blüdhaven this time, then they may also extend their tentacles to Metropolis.
Superman: "I understand what you mean. I will keep an eye on them. However, there is one thing I am more concerned about, and that is about Benjamin and Li Hua."
Batman: "What do you mean?"
Superman: "You said their guardians sent them here to equip them to face future crises. But with their current combat prowess and experience... their guardians haven't made any moves?"
Batman didn't directly answer Superman's question, but simply said, "They still need to grow up before they can bear the burdens of the future."
Superman: "They're still kids."
"That's what I said," Batman said. "But Azmis said that the problems in Benjamin's original universe can't wait for him to grow up to solve them. Even if he grows up, he can't solve them alone. That's why he sent the two children here."
"They are the hope of that universe, and perhaps even several universes."
Is the neighboring universe in dire straits to this extent?
Superman was speechless for a moment, then asked, "Do Benjamin and Li Hua know about this?"
Batman: "They knew, and they didn't give up."
Perhaps this is why Azmis, Dr. Contradiction and No. 666 chose them.
The world's best partners looked at each other speechless for a moment.
......
These 24 hours were really busy. After Jason returned to his room in Blüdhaven, he lost consciousness almost as soon as his head touched the pillow. He woke up not because of the force of his biological clock or the sunlight outside the window, but because of the overwhelming hunger in his stomach.
Jason then remembered that the only things he had eaten in the past 24 hours were energy bars and water.
It was impossible to continue sleeping on an empty stomach, and Jason had no intention of letting his stomach suffer.
He remembered that there were instant noodles and instant milk tea bought by Li Hua in the snack cabinet, which were perfect for breakfast - or lunch.
Jason tiptoed down the corridor and down the stairs. Just as he was about to reach the stairs, he heard the sound of some device being activated, and a green light illuminated the stairs.
Benjamin woke up so early?
Jason walked down the stairs and, as expected, found a small alien with gray skin, a bit like a frog with a beard, on the dining table. He was wearing a black and green robe and holding a device with an Omnitrix pattern in one arm.
The device was very small, about the size of a can of Coke. It was because the alien was so small that the picture looked so funny.
"This alien is quite strong, considering your current physique."
With the experience of the alien monster, Jason accepted the alien form with its own device well, and he even had the leisure to convert it: if the proportion of this scene is adjusted to that of a human, it is roughly equivalent to carrying a rice jar on one hand.
I don’t know if it was a racial issue or Benjamin was not interested, but the alien had a stern face, as if someone owed him five million, and seemed to be glaring at people.
But with this shape and size, the deterrent effect is so small that it is cute.
The little alien blinked, and Jason noticed that the alien's blinking direction was not horizontal, but vertical.
He picked up the little alien in his arms in amazement and observed it closely as if he were holding a doll or a figurine.
"Hey man, that blinking thing is a little weird. Do you have any special vision now? Like you can only see moving objects or something?"
The alien, who was the same size as the figurine, had his mouth corners almost hanging to the ground, and his green eyes with horizontal elongated pupils were narrowed, looking extremely unhappy, but he really didn't want to talk, so he had to try to use his expression and eyes to make Jason back down.
What a joke! Jason was stealing the Batmobile's tires and was discovered by Batman when he tried to subdue Batman with a crowbar. Is he someone who would back down so easily?
What's more, Jason understood Benjamin and knew that if Benjamin was really unhappy, he would speak up or run away. In times like this, he was speechless but generally acquiesced to this behavior.
So Jason didn't put the little alien down. Instead, he changed directions a few times, trying to observe it more closely. "The more I look at it, the more it looks like a frog. What do you call this alien hero? Frogman?"
Frogman looked like he was about to puff up with rage.
"Is there any food? I'm starving."
Li Hua yawned as he walked down the stairs. He hadn't gotten enough sleep yet, and like Jason, his sleep had been interrupted purely by hunger. He desperately needed food to soothe his rumbling stomach. But when he reached the stairs and saw the alien creature Jason was holding in his hands, he suddenly woke up and almost jumped up.
"What the hell, Azmis?!"
"......ah?"
Jason's hand, which was about to poke the beard-like tentacle on the alien's chin, suddenly froze. His neck, like a rusty gear, sluggishly turned his head towards the small gray creature, and he struggled to connect his impression of "Azmis".
"You are...the scientific Batman?"
It's so small! Is he 20 centimeters tall?
"I am Azmis, of Galvan, creator of worlds, the five most intelligent beings in the galaxy, and inventor of the Omnitrix."
The little gray frog frowned, and although he didn't struggle, one could tell from his tone that he was very impatient.
"I'm not that idiot Benjamin, understand? Now put me and my invention down right now, you reckless little Earthling."
I don’t know whether Azmis was angry because Jason held him like this, or because he was mistaken for Benjamin...or maybe both.
Jason dreamily placed Azmis and his invention carefully back in its place, rubbing his hands guiltily. "Sorry, I didn't expect..."
"Come on, forget it. I know you got the wrong person." Azmis interrupted Jason's apology and turned to Li Hua, "Where's Ben? I want to see my invention."
Li Hua pointed upstairs: "Ben is in the innermost bedroom, but he is sleeping. He transformed too many times yesterday..."
"I know. He pushed the Omnitrix to near overdrive, and the energy waves he emitted were detected even outside this universe."
Azmis said.
"So, to prevent him from destroying my invention and taking the universe with him, I came here in person. Take me to see my invention."
Li Hua: "Wait a minute, I'll go up and wake him up. But I have to say, Ben didn't almost hack the Omnitrix on purpose. He was trying to save someone..."
Azmis waved his hand to stop Li Hua: "No need to explain, I'm not here to see Ben, I'm just here to see my invention. I can still finish my work even if he sleeps."
After only five minutes of meeting, Jason finally understood why Benjamin and Li Hua's evaluation of Azmis's character and mouth was always inversely proportional to his technical ability.
This guy's mouth is really irritating!
No wonder two assistants defected.
Hell, after meeting Azmis, he actually subtly understood what Benjamin had said before: "Compared to Azmis, Batman is really eloquent and amiable."
This is how contrast creates beauty, and mentor contrast creates mentors with worse tempers.
"Stop dawdling and get going."
Azmis jumped directly onto Jason's shoulder - he jumped at least one and a half meters high. Sure enough, this was an alien frog!
"Azmis, you..."
Li Hua felt that Azmis did not seem to be angry. At least so far his tone was very steady, and there was no sign that he was going to get so angry that people would wonder if he was going to puff up like a frog.
"Did you actually already know why Ben transformed, and simply didn't want to disturb his rest?"
Azmis: “I didn’t say that.”
Jason: “…”
But you didn't deny it either.
Less than five minutes into the meeting, Azmis's stubbornness and bad temper were fully revealed.
Benjamin and Li Huacheng didn't bully me. The old frog is much more annoying than the old bat!
Li Hua pushed open Benjamin's bedroom door. Benjamin was still sleeping unconscious when Jason walked in with Azmis standing on his shoulder.
Specifically, when Azmis asked Li Hua to pull out his representative's hand to facilitate the operation of the Omnitrix, Benjamin did not react at all. If it were not for the obvious rise and fall of his chest, Jason would have reason to suspect that Benjamin had left this not-so-beautiful world.
Azmis didn't know where he touched the Omnitrix, but he completely disassembled the dial. He carried it in his free hand and jumped onto Benjamin's bedside table. Then he jumped into Li Hua's open palm. His voice was much softer than when he was downstairs, but it was loud enough for Jason and Li Hua to hear:
"Okay, let's go."
Jason: "Just leaving like that?"
The Omnitrix's dial was completely empty now. Even though Jason knew nothing about alien technology, he knew it wouldn't work.
"Apparently this simple and dirty room is not enough for me to complete the delicate operation."
Azmis said as a matter of course, as if Benjamin's bedroom was not a place with kicked slippers on the floor and coats and equipment that had been temporarily thrown on the ground because he was so sleepy last night, but a place like a garbage dump swamp.
"Take me to the living room. I think the table where I landed after time travel is spacious enough."
Jason:......
He really wanted to fight back, but was afraid of waking Benjamin.
How did Benjamin communicate with Azmis calmly?
-----------------------
Author's words: Benjamin: Hit the ball straight (physics) (a thunder ball kicked open the door of Azmis and destroyed the biochemical suit that Azmis had trained for many years)
Albedo scene:
Azmis: I want your watch back.
Albedo: You can't do this! (But Azmis still didn't flip his hands after jumping)
Azmis (jumps up) (takes it away): I can.
Benjamin's Occasion:
Azmis: I'm going to take your watch!
Benjamin: (Raises his hand) (Ready to tap his watch) Okay, come and get it.
Azmis:......
What Li Hua was thinking: How do you trim the Gavin tentacles? They're all flesh. Should you do surgery or tie them up like hair?
Jason feels that he and Albedo will have a lot in common.
[Inaccurate small theater]
Jason: Are you also your mentor's second assistant and student?
Albedo: Is your representative color also red?
Jason: Do you eat junk food too?
Albedo: Have you ever been willing to risk your life and try your best to gain the recognition of your mentor?
Jason: Did you end up taking a path that was completely opposite to your mentor’s?
Albedo: Have you ever been told by your mentor that you are too extreme and arrogant?
Jason: Does your mentor also have a mouth but can’t speak?
Albedo: Your mentor is also very smart and many people respect him, but do you know that he has a bad temper?
Jason: One last point...
Albedo/Jason: Have you ever turned from love to hate for your mentor and rebelled against the mentor you once respected the most?
Jason: ...
Albedo: ...
(shake hands)!
To be honest, I really thought about which world's Albedo went to cause trouble with Jason who had gone offline under the Red Hood, but after thinking about it, I decided not to. If Albedo's technical level was used up, Gotham would probably be destroyed.
