Chapter 119: Phase 2 Advancing (Part II)

At 11 o'clock in the evening, there were still 12 hours before Curvin met with Nora Allen, and the space watchtower, the Justice League headquarters, and the long-silent watchtower blast channel were also lit up at this moment, and at the same time, the number of the comer was also announced.

[Batman, A02]

As the electronic sound sounds, Batman appears in the Watchtower, where the members of the Justice League are supposed to meet every month. But now it's empty, but it shouldn't be. Because in the watchtower, there is a member of the Justice League who is most assured by Batman, and like Superman, he is the Martian hunter Jon Rongtz from the extinct planet, the Martian civilization.

Not inferior to the normal superman's strength, with a strategy on par with Batman, it can be said that Martian Manhunter is a combination of the advantages of Superman and Batman, coupled with strong mind control ability, such a member sits in the Watchtower, Batman is the most assured. Martian Manhunter did not appear in front of him from the moment Batman entered the watchtower, frowning, and Batman also walked inside the watchtower before stopping at a cell.

Looking at the empty chains in his cell, Batman's brow furrowed even deeper. Because here, the prisoner is a new god criminal of the Apocalypse, and before Manhattan officially did things, the new god who was doing things in Canterlot with the new god of the Apocalypse Mantis, obeyed the new god of the Apocalypse Star Grandma Kind, and in the Nemesis team, a female warrior of the Apocalypse Star named Heavy. It's just that in Manhattan's modified memories, it was originally captured by Cowen and Wally, and it became Wally and The Flash.

It doesn't matter, the problem now is that the female warrior of the Apocalypse Star named Stomp is missing, along with her teammate, Martian Manhunter. Especially when Batman saw the pool of blood on the floor of the cell, his heart couldn't help but burst, he squatted down, sprinkled a little magnesium powder from the universal belt around his waist, and then lit it. The flames burned in the blood, but Batman also noticed that there was no change in the blood, which made some of his worries let go.

Because Martian Manhunter has a weakness, that is, he is afraid of fire, which is a mental illness rooted in him. It can be said that Martian Manhunt is not afraid of fire at all, but his experience of exterminating the race and his strong mind control ability have built a psychological weakness for his brain that is afraid of fire. And this psychological weakness that can even deceive his own consciousness is fed back to Martian Manhunter himself, once it is contaminated with flames, his body and his consciousness will have various situations, even if they are separated from the body.

At this time, the pool of blood in front of Batman did not change color because of the flames, and operations such as deformation at least showed that Martian Manhunter was attacked in a very sudden situation. There was no way to react and he was subdued, and the guy who subdued the Martian Manhunter was not targeting the Martian Manhunter, but the Apocalypse female warrior who was imprisoned here.

"Did the Apocalypse move its hand? Jon, this is not your style, there must be something you want to tell me. ”

Standing up and looking around at everything, Batman was also talking to himself, he didn't believe that Martian Manhunter would be taken away without leaving any clues. With this in mind, Batman continued to search for information in the watchtower, came to the central computer of the watchtower, entered a specific password, and began to check the situation of the entire watchtower, and soon, he found the clues that Martian Manhunter wanted to give him in the computer.

"Have you been searching for clues about the so-called woman of the same name as Blake, this is the answer you left behind, you can give me, thank you, Jung."

At this time, a black-and-white photograph taken during World War II of the last century is also shown in front of Batman on the computer screen, a female warrior posing with several fighters, and behind them is Berlin, which has been devastated by the war and planted with a flag. The other is a photo taken at a museum exhibition a few years ago, and the same female warrior, black and white and color, are the same person, and on the photo, there is also a name: Mirina Black.

It's all too strange to have the same appearance spanning a century. But it is also in line with the previous situation. Serial murders are all over the world, and the names are all women named Blake. And the one in front of him has been verified by Rong En, has been active for more than a century, or even longer, and is still young, so he has mastered some unknown secrets. After getting the clues left by Martian Manhunter, Batman also thought about it.

"So, in what way would she be hiding in this society now, technology? No, there are too many clues to technology, so there is only magic, the female warrior, the ageless face, and the same bracelet on the paradise island on her body, the Amazon female warrior, it seems that Diana has to be contacted. ”

Based on the information left by Martian Manhunter, Batman also deduced from these two photos that the lady named Mirina Black was an Amazonian warrior and also possessed good magic. But magic itself is a relatively partial subject for Batman, but this subject, his wife is familiar, and after confirming that Martian Manhunter has no other clues left for him, Batman does not plan to stay in the Watchtower for long.

Walking towards the popping passage in the watchtower, I was about to leave from here. However, just as Batman was about to leave through the blast channel, he who should have stepped into the blast channel also stopped, his eyes stared, his hand waved, the cloak behind him blocked in front of him, and at the same time jumped towards the other side of the blast channel, this set of actions was done in one go, without a little hesitation, and just when Batman did this, the blast channel that was supposed to transmit Batman to leave exploded.

The powerful shockwave raged in the watchtower with explosive fragments, and even Batman, who avoided it in advance and jumped out of most of the ejection range of the fragments in the first place, was not spared. Some of the ejected pieces went directly through Batman's cape, armor, and pierced into his body, causing Batman, who was supposed to be hiding in cover, to move and deform in the air, falling to the ground, rolling out blood trails along the way.

And in the wreckage of the blast tunnel of the explosion, the lady named Gorrell who had summoned the anti-surveillance in Australia stood there, with a scythe in her hand and red eyes, looking at Batman lying on the ground at this time, smiling.

"Is that you, looking for my mother? Batman? No, it should be called you, Bruce Wayne~"

Holding a scythe in her hand, as the daughter of Darkseid, Gorrell appeared in the watchtower at this time, thinking that Batman could be arranged through the blast channel, but she didn't expect Batman to be so alert that she could detect what she was doing in the blast channel. Not killing Batman with a single blow did make Gorrell curious, but Batman was injured like this, so she didn't mind walking out and showing Batman in front of him.

"My name is Goriel, daughter of Darkseid, daughter of Mirina Black. Looks like you're nothing more than that, Batman. ”

Gorrell, who was standing there and introducing himself, looked at Batman who was poked by shards at this time, and was also a little proud, a mortal who made Darkseid take it seriously, but now he was lying there like a dead dog. In a way, he surpassed his father, Darkseid, who had always wanted to kill, didn't he?

"Gorrell? Darkseid's daughter, then everything that happens on Earth is you. ”

"Aren't you the greatest detective in the world, reason, while you still have the strength to think."

Walking up to Batman, he kicked Batman away with a single kick, and the fragments on his body also brought Batman a second pain while coming into contact with the ground. At the same time, the blade of the long scythe in Gorrell's hand easily cut through Batman's armor, leaving a long wound on his chest.

The pain stimulated Batman's brain, and as he looked at the red-eyed Goriel in front of him, who claimed to be Darkseid's daughter, clues were constantly connecting to his mind. From the serial killings of Blake's female namesake that happened all over the world at the beginning, to the anomalies of the members of the Justice League, and then his own memories were artificially modified, erasing all relevant memories of someone, along with deeds, all of them form a puzzle in Batman's mind.

"You're Darkseid's daughter, and as far as I know, Darkseid's sons want to replace him, and I think you're no exception, you're going to kill Darkseid. The serial murder of the same name on Earth shows that Darkseid also knows about your existence, your birth was an accident, and the hand of the Apocalypse is to find your mother, and to find you, but you and the Apocalypse are not everything, there are more dangerous beings guiding all this! Tell me who that being is! His name! ”

In his mind, Batman had put together all the pieces of the puzzle, but he still didn't know the name of Dr. Manhattan. When he first came into contact with Menyashi, Menyashi only said that there was a quantum god who was secretly watching their actions and would add some drama to them from time to time, and did not directly say the name of Dr. Manhattan. But as far as the information Batman has compiled now is concerned, it is definitely not only Apocalypse Star and the Gorrell in front of him who are playing tricks.

Modifying the memory of reality and erasing all the existence of someone in reality is such a delicate thing that Apocalypse Star can't get out, and Gorrell can't be alone. In order to kill Darkseid, there must be a being comparable to Darkseid, and it is clear that Gorrell has one in front of him.

"Funny, funny, worthy of Bruce Wayne, rated by Darkseid as the most dangerous mortal, your reasoning is great, but that's the end of it."

Removing the long scythe from Batman's chest, Gorrell applauded Batman's reasoning. Standing in the watchtower of the Justice League headquarters, Gorrell also looked at the Earth in space through the porthole, and also said there.

"What I'm going to do is kill Darkseid, and there's a great being, but you can't see it either, after all, you're just a mortal, a mortal named Bruce Wayne, who knows too much, and it doesn't do you any good, after all, you can't do anything, so knowing everything is just more painful, isn't it? Well?! ”

Gorrell turned his head and saw Batman, who had just been pierced by the shards, just stood up and looked at himself silently. The fragments of the wreckage that had been pierced to his body were still oozing blood dripping on the floor, but Batman didn't say a word, just stood in front of Gorrell like this.

"Interesting, do you still have to stand up after all this, I really don't understand the use of you mortal holding on like this, saying as if you can win me, goodbye, Bruce Wayne."

Raising the scythe, Gorrell didn't continue to talk nonsense with Batman, so he planned to behead Batman, and with a swing of the sharp scythe, he slashed at the neck. However, at this time, time seemed to stop, and Batman, who should have been beheaded by his own scythe as expected by Goriel, entered the attack range of his scythe as if teleported, and the last-to-first fist hit Goriel's throat like this, and Gorrell, who was also a demigod and half-human blood, was also difficult to breathe from Batman's blow.

'Dang', the scythe in Goriel's hand fell to the ground with a crisp crashing sound, and he clutched his throat with one hand, his vision was a little black because of the difficulty of breathing, and he fell to the ground weakly. But at this time, Batman, who triggered the critical hit and hitstun effect with one punch, reached out and grabbed Gorrell.

"Well, if you look closely, your eyes are indeed like Darkseid, radiating a light of destruction. But you're far worse than your father, at least Darkseid won't talk too much nonsense, he'll come up and fight directly, so, this opportunity is you gave me, besides, I'm Batman! ”

Looking at Batman's raised fist, Gorrell, who was still in a state of breathlessness, had only one question in his mind: why, could he still stand up and hit himself? Then, she was greeted by Batman's martial arts that fused various genres in the world, one punch, one palm, one finger, each blow with a special power technique, transmitting power to Gorrell's body and detonating in his body.

The strong constitution ensured that Goriel would not die in such an attack, but the same body structure as a human also took on more pain. As a human who has brought his fighting skills to the pinnacle of the DC universe, every blow of Batman can make Gorrell feel that every muscle in her body is wailing, and every nerve in her body is crying in pain, but it is useless, she can only be forced to accept Batman's Ora combo.

As the last blow hit Gorrell in the abdomen, Batman, who used his tenacious will to drive his body to make this set of combos, also stopped attacking, and Gorrell also flew out directly under a company like Batman, crashing into the pile of debris. The only thing Batman can do is throw out his special batrang, open the mechanism of the watchtower, and imprison it. After doing all this, Batman, who was standing there, couldn't help but smile, and then lost consciousness, bleeding and fell to the ground.

In the empty watchtower, Gorrell, who made a surprise attack on Batman, was knocked unconscious by Batman's outburst and locked up. Batman, who was ambushed by Gorrell, also fell there, unconscious, and everything seemed to come to an end here, until a door of light opened inside the watchtower, led by Mitron, who was sitting on the chair of the omniscient Morbius, and beside him was the Justice League isotope from the parallel universe Earth 3, the crime syndicate.

As the evil syntope of the Justice League, only three giants survived in the Crime Syndicate, Speedmaster, Night Stalker, and the pregnant Super Witch. Seeing the situation of both defeats in the watchtower, the three of them had to pay tribute to Batman's opponent.

"It's really a terrible person to be seriously injured like this and still be able to defeat the opponent."

"Heh, what does Bruce Wayne's serious injury have to do with Batman, Mittron, can you just take Batman away?"

Checking Batman's injuries, Night Stalker also asked Mittron there, and the Speedmaster on the side also looked at Gorrell, who was knocked down and imprisoned by Batman, his eyes were red, ready to cut the grass at any time.

"Just take Batman away, I seem to have overlooked something, besides, Supermaster, you don't have to think about killing her, you can't kill her, the existence that destroyed your world is on the way."

"What?! What are you doing here, let's go! ”

As the current god of omniscience, Mitron naturally knew who was behind Goriel, the Anti-Watcher, a powerful anti-god with a true anti-life equation. But what happened on Earth during this time, he also noticed that it seemed that between the Apocalypse and the Anti-Monitor, there was another being guiding all this, and the Mobius Chair knew all the information of the past and the present, and many things were in his mind.

But he needs someone to sort this information together, and the Batman in front of him is the best candidate, the world's greatest detective, much stronger than the night stalker. And just after Mittron said that the existence of the Earth 3 world where the destruction of the Super Masters is located is on the way. The superhuman evil congener, who had regained his power, reverted back to his cowardly face of being timid and scared, urging Mithron to take them away.

"I don't need you to teach me this, the answer to everything will be revealed soon."

In response to Supermaster's words, Mittron, who was sitting in the chair, left the Watchtower with the Crime Syndicate Triumvirate and the seriously injured Batman. Similarly, not long after they left, the same portal opened, and six black humanoid shadows walked out, directly imprisoned in the cage, and Gorrell, who was knocked down by Batman, lifted up and walked into the portal opened for him by the Anti-Monitor, and everything that happened in the Watchtower slowly ended.

Similarly, while Kirwen waits to meet Norah Allen to find out the so-called truth, and Barry Allen joins forces with the alien Drive, the new god of the Apocalypse, to create a world utopia. During this long night, other cities were also going on different actions, Philadelphia, the city where Shazam was located, and where he fought with the alien Wizard, a yellow taxi came to the city with all the wind and dust.

"Tsk, this time, you can feel the magic restlessness in the air."

Getting out of the taxi was none other than the detective from hell who had been commissioned by Zatana, Konstantin. As a master of trickery and a part-time detective of magic, he has a great feeling for the active magic elements in the city at this time because of the frequent opening of films by Shazam and the alien Wizard, and as he spoke, Konstantin also took out a box of Green Arrow chewing gum from his pocket, took out one and put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Since having one more goddaughter, Konstantin, as a godfather, has rarely smoked cigarettes, and has replaced them with chewing gum.

"I don't feel right here, Konstantin, I just found out that the breath of the old gods is active here, and if I continue to check like this, I always feel that there is another apocalyptic crisis that broke out in silence."

Just as Konstantin felt the magic elements in the air come alive, a small figure behind him was talking about his worries. Through the lights, you can see that this is an orangutan in clothes, with a pipe in his hand, and he is dressed as Sherlock Holmes. This is an intelligent creature known to Konstantin, an intelligent creature whose reasoning ability is not inferior to Batman's, and his name is Detective Orangutan.

"The Great Armageddon Crisis? Has it happened less in these years? No, I haven't seen anything, okay, I don't plan on you to continue to follow me to investigate, and I know what to do at this point, so I'll tell you about the rest when I go to your bar. ”

Regarding the detective orangutan's concern, Konstantin also looked indifferent, waved his hand, and motioned for his friend to drive away.

"John, don't die."

The window of the car was rolled down, and he was pitted by Konstantin, superimposed a hundred life strengths, and his friend Chas, who could not die, also said a word to Konstantin.

"Don't worry, I'm dead, hell will have to make trouble for me, and then no matter what kind of gods there are in this city, they will have to die of headaches, ha, help me say goodnight to my goddaughter."

Turning around in a dashing manner, Konstantin, who had his hands in his pockets, began to wander around the city of Philadelphia with his sad and tired face and a little dashing, he wanted to figure out who the gods who stopped in the city were, if he didn't know the origin, if he didn't grasp the character of the people, the difficulty of the pit would increase a little bit, in order to avoid this kind of trouble, it was better to be stable.

As for the taxi that sent Konstantin here, it also left with the orangutan, who could only speak human words. Philadelphia, a city guarded by Thunder Shazam, also with the arrival of Constantine, a detective from hell, plus the alien Wizard, the new god of the Apocalypse Star lurking in it, and the three old gods of Zeus from Greece, the situation has become mysterious for a while. A struggle between man and man, man and god, god and god begins on this dark night.

And in Canterlot, after a day of rest and adjusting himself to the best state, Kewen also woke up when the sun poured into the room. After getting up, Ke Wen, who had finished washing, looked at the itinerary that had been written on the calendar, and also sorted out himself, and after confirming everything was correct, he went out, and before leaving, Ke Wen looked back at the apartment he was living in for some reason.

"It's strange that I feel like I'm gone, and I'm not going to live there, so what do I want to tell myself, today, please give me an answer, Ms. Nora Allen."

Looking at the saved post-it note in his hand, Ke Wen also smiled, and after finishing speaking, he drove his ordinary Settron chariot and set off towards the agreed place.
