Chapter 139 Chapter 139 Mood and state are both 180...
Human beings are but the smallest existence in the universe. As an insignificant individual in the universe, people are destined to have limited perspectives on the things around them, and are also destined to have questions throughout their lives.
For example, right now, Jason really wanted to know: "I can barely believe you had a reason for mistaking those two guys, but why do you think I'm Wonder Woman?"
The last time a child asked him if Little Red Riding Hood had changed gender, Jason just laughed it off because it was just childish talk.
But this is what Batman is about. How did he manage to change his race and gender at the same time?
"Do I look like an Amazon?"
Batman thought to himself that the strength you had in lifting me with one hand and punching Superman was not something an ordinary human could produce.
"Who are you then? You look familiar to me."
Jason: "What do you care about me——"
Li Hua: "You are his father."
Batman looked at Jason with an even darker gaze.
My son in the parallel world is this big now?
Batman: "Who is your mother?"
Um?
When Batman heard that "Red Hood" was the son of his counterpart, his first reaction was not "Which son of mine is Red Hood?" but "Who is the mother of my son?"
Benjamin asked directly, "Don't you have a son?"
Batman: "No."
"What about Robin?"
"What's Robin?"
This Batman not only has no son but also no Robin!
Everyone was shocked, as if they had discovered a new world.
Jason even asked: "How old are you this year?"
Batman was unwilling to answer: "It's not important. Find a way to get back quickly and leave."
"Aren't you looking for a solution?" Jason said, "Since we have the same goal—we both want each of us to go back to our own homes—please share the information about the clowns in this universe with us."
"Oh yeah, since you killed the Joker, you wouldn't mind if we dig up his grave to check, right? After all, these days are not peaceful, and a body buried underground could potentially start a new life a second time."
Batman: "Sure, but we have to go back to the Batcave."
"That's not good. We're not that familiar with each other yet."
Jason wondered how come Batman was still so trusting after being tricked once, and actually invited strangers to his lair.
Because he has elderly parents and young children, Jason's old bat relatives will not let outsiders into the Bat Cave casually. After all, Wayne Manor is above the Bat Cave, and bats have a strong sense of territory when protecting their cubs.
But this bat doesn't seem to be that territorial.
Is this a trick? Is Superman the only one going crazy in this universe?
"It doesn't matter. You know where the Batcave is anyway," the Batman said. "And I have nothing to lose."
After Alfred left, Batman no longer had any worries, but from then on, Batman was the only one living in the Batcave.
If the Batcave didn't contain his full set of office equipment and was not secretive enough for Batman's activities, Batman actually wouldn't really want to go back to the cold and empty cave where no one else was except him.
Fortunately, he still had friends at that time. His friends who liked to wear colorful combat uniforms would come to visit this dark cave from time to time. Among them, the one who came the most was naturally his former best friend - Superman.
After Superman's betrayal, Batman is the only one left in this cave.
Benjamin: "Then do you want to go together later?"
After a long silence, Batman replied: "Okay."
"I suppose you don't have much luggage to bring?"
"No."
Benjamin poked the Omnitrix and was unsurprisingly surprised to find that the alien technology he had just transformed into had not yet finished charging.
Batman has a large piece of kryptonite in his hand that he uses as a spearhead, so if he becomes a Kryptonian, he will definitely be affected.
But considering the situation of Batman and Superman in this universe... it is unlikely that he will let go, and it may further stimulate Batman's nerves that are stretched to the limit.
Asking Batman to drop his spear is like asking Benjamin to put down his Omnitrix, Li Hua to put down his staff, and Jason to put down his gun. This is an act of disarmament.
How can you ask others to surrender their weapons at will? How can you ask others to surrender their weapons at will?
So Benjamin plans to transform into a stingray this time.
Although the Stingray does not have a biological force field like the Kryptonian, Batman and his friends are strong and not afraid of wind resistance.
He could fly slower.
But in the eyes of Batman, who didn't know that Benjamin could transform into other forms, it meant something else.
Go together = Ben has to transform into a Kryptonian again = Batman can't bring his Kryptonite spear = Batman needs to give up his only weapon that can obviously threaten the Kryptonians.
This could be a trap.
Batman thought.
But even if it was a trap, he had no choice but to go. If this new temporary Kryptonian also broke off relations like Superman and stopped acting, no one would be able to stop him. Now he was the only one who could protect the world.
It would be best if we could temporarily stabilize the opponent, but if we can't... he still has the Doomsday virus.
That was something he had done to stop Superman from wreaking havoc on the world, a last resort that he could only use when he had no other options.
Although the other party looks different from Superman, but... Superman was not like this at the beginning. This world really can't afford to take the risk.
Batman waited for Benjamin to transform, but after standing there for thirty seconds, he still didn't move. The young wizard with the wand even squatted on the side of the road with his eyes blank. He couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say you were leaving?"
Benjamin was still poking his watch. “It should be ready in a little while. Don’t rush it.”
Batman: "Does that transformation tool need to be clicked a certain number of times before it activates?"
Jason scoffed. "No, what he's doing is no different than trying to speed up waiting time by pacing in place."
Benjamin: "That's not right. Maybe it can sense my urgency."
"If it really has the consciousness to sense you, wouldn't it be more likely to delay time?"
Li Hua rolled up her layered skirt, struggled to pull out a small compression bag from the universal belt around her waist, and took out a huge net from it.
Batman watched as Li Hua tried to spread the net, but it was so large that after a long effort, the net was almost twisted into a knot. Then, very naturally, he handed one end of the net bag to Batman beside him and said, "Give me a hand, let me shake it out and spread it on the ground."
As soon as he got the material, Batman knew that the material of this net was the same as his cape, Kevlar fiber.
Batman was still wondering what the purpose of this giant Kevlar net was when he saw the magic boy spread out the circular net on the ground and stepped inside. The Red Hood's tone was a little unnatural:
"Does it have to be this way?"
"There's nothing I can do. I've used up all my magic power and can't fly." Li Hua said helplessly.
Even after consuming a huge amount of [Time] cards, he was still rushing with [Flying] cards, and as soon as he landed, he dealt another [Discard] card without any respite.
Other people's ultimate skills need CD, but Li Hua relies on the magic card shortcut keys to use skills almost without CD, so it is understandable that the mana consumption is higher.
Of course, after the training some time ago and the BUFF on his body, Li Hua's magic power was extremely consumed but not completely exhausted.
But magic power doesn't just fall from the sky, so in this case, every bit you save counts.
After all, they are not completely sure whether this Batman is crazy or whether he will go crazy again in the future. Li Hua needs to keep a backup plan.
Li Hua has seen people in the news and in real life who have become mentally twisted and done radical things because of major misfortunes.
Since the Superman in this world is crazy, it’s normal for Batman to be crazy too!
As the old saying goes, "Once bitten by a snake, you'll be afraid of the rope for ten years." This Batman had just been backstabbed by Superman, and now he was facing Benjamin in Kryptonian form...that wasn't a "rope," it was a "snake"! Li Hua didn't believe that Batman's mental activities were as calm as his appearance.
Jason must have thought of this as well, as he just pointed it out directly.
Benjamin...
Benjamin is a fool.
There was a 98% chance that he hadn't thought of this at all, and didn't realize that Jason was giving him a hint.
But it doesn't matter. Benjamin has always accepted his nickname of "idiot" well. If anything happens, he will just act with his teammates.
So although Benjamin's stupid style of not using his brain sometimes makes people angry, his willingness to listen to advice often makes up for this shortcoming.
Li Hua, Jason, and the local Batman stood in the center of the giant net, each with their own thoughts, waiting for the Omnitrix's buffer time to pass.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Benjamin, caught in the gazes of everyone, paused tapping his watch and said, "Have you finally noticed how handsome I am? Then don't stare at me so intensely, I'll be shy."
Li Hua and Jason both let out a loud retching sound, while Batman just continued to watch in silence.
"You guys really have no sense of humor."
The boy who called himself Ben took a picture of his watch, and the dazzling green light swallowed him in the blink of an eye, just as Batman was secretly preparing himself mentally.
To prevent him from doing anything extreme after seeing that face because of the murderous intent that arises in him.
Before the green light faded, Batman kept repeating to himself: That's not Clark Kent, that's not Superman. The liar is dead... You need to stay calm, you must stay calm...
Batman thought he was prepared, but when the green light faded, it wasn't the man's face that was there, but another red, hairless, winged, membrane-like creature that looked like a cross between a bat and a flying squirrel.
That's not Superman.
"Stingray!"
The strange creature flapped its bright yellow wings and flew into the air, circling around the net on the ground at an extremely fast speed. It grabbed the net bag with its claws and picked up all three people as if they were buying fruit in the supermarket, and even weighed them.
"It's lighter than I thought."
Friends who have seen or lifted things packed in net bags must know that when the things are lifted up, due to the effect of gravity on the deformation of the objects, the net bag will cause the things inside to be tightly clustered together like sardines in a can.
Batman was packed up with the other two, and he had to try his best to turn his head to avoid the magic boy's frizzy wig attacking his nasal cavity.
Batman could also hear Red Hood, who was huddled next to him, warmly greeting his companion: "Handle with care! We are not thick-skinned fools!"
The alien plane, which had never been seen before, quickly took off. Apparently, this creature didn't have the same biological perspective as the Kryptonians, because Batman was covered in the face by the magic boy's waving hair, almost suffocating him, and had to try to turn around to avoid facing the strong wind.
He finally understood what the early open-top fighter pilots felt.
The magic boy on the other side spat out the artificial hair in his mouth and complained loudly amid the sound of airflow created by the extremely fast movement: "Batman, stop moving your head! Your helmet ears almost poked me!"
Batman, who was blown from vertical to horizontal in the air by the airflow, silently moved his head to the other direction, but it was not easy to exert force at this angle and state. As soon as Batman moved slightly, he heard the sound of a hard object colliding in his ears again.
Turning my head, I saw a bright red helmet.
"Old fellow from another world, could you please stop moving? My helmet is not a church bell that can ring for you at will."
Batman: “…”
He'd really had enough, he wanted out, he wanted to go back to the Batcave.
