Chapter 159: Villain Behavior
"It's hard to describe what the Red of All Beings is."
The human-shaped crocodile with scales on his body sat on the chair. To be honest, this was not the first time he had taken Batman's plane, but no matter how many times he came, he would still feel uncomfortable with the decoration on the plane.
Killer Croc thought this was a kind of mental abnormality. He always felt that Batman had a problem with his brain, unlike him, Killer Croc, who was just a pure and cute crocodile.
He originally thought that the other party had decorated his underground base to look like a bat cave, which was already very abnormal, but he didn't expect that the other party even decorated the plane like a bat cave.
Is he addicted to pretending to be a bat?
Hey, look, there are fake bats hanging on the ceiling - damn, it's real!
Killer Croc was startled by the flying bat, and then he saw Batman in front of him opened his mouth and emitted ultrasonic waves that human ears could not hear (of course, crocodile ears could not hear either).
"Sorry, you continue, Waylon." He heard Batman's voice, but he was sure that he had seen sharp teeth protruding from the other party's open mouth just now.
The other party was like a beast, showing his fangs in the dark, and Killer Croc felt...
Wait, I am the beast, right?
Killer Croc always felt that Batman had stolen his script.
He knocked his head and barely focused his attention back on the matter in front of him.
Chen Tao looked at him with some worry. Killer Croc's brain has never been very good, and his behavior cannot be inferred by common sense.
After all, normal people would not knock their heads for no reason.
Chen Tao thought this was a kind of mental abnormality. He always felt that Killer Croc's brain was wrong, unlike Batman, who was just a pure and cute big bat.
A special effects film was playing on the TV in front of them.
"Rooster Thief" is now the hottest film in California-although only among children.
Killer Croc continued, "Sometimes you can clearly feel the call of the Red of All Living Things, but sometimes you feel that he does not exist at all, as if what you experienced before was an illusion." He said, "I have never tried to actively call the Red of All Living Things. He always responds to me when I am in danger." He paused, then explained, "It's like something that rises from the blood. Calling you and strengthening your body." Chen Tao silently compared what he said with his own feelings. His feelings about the Red of All Living Things were almost the same as not having any. The perfect human-bat serum is perfect, but along with the side effects, the power that the Red of All Living Things was forced to give was also stripped away. In his current state, even after the transformation, the physical enhancement is pitiful. But it doesn't matter. No matter how much, the power of the Red of All Living Things is enough. He touched his butt chin. Not long after. "We are here." Killer Croc heard Batman say that they were hovering in the air. Killer Croc looked at the scenery outside the window next to him and found that it was just an ordinary family. "So, what are we doing here?"
Killer Croc knew he shouldn't ask Batman about his plans. Batman always has plans, and he doesn't like others interfering with him.
But he was just purely curious. After all, he originally thought that the other party would take him to some terrible dragon.
"This is the Baker family, and his male owner is called Buddy Baker, the famous Animal Man... You hide in the plane first."
Then without waiting for Killer Croc to reply, Batman jumped off the plane, landed in front of the other party's door, and knocked on the door.
"Animal Man..." Killer Croc frowned, always feeling that he had heard this name somewhere.
Wait!
He suddenly realized that wasn't that the local superhero he had seen on the news during this period?
Knock knock knock!
Batman knocked on the door a few times.
"Come here, I'm here to open the door."
"Buddy, are you back, you... Wardfake!"
The one who opened the door was a woman with a big belly. She was Ellen Baker, the wife of Animal Man Buddy Baker.
Animal Man didn't seem to be at home. Only his pregnant wife Ellen and his eldest son Cliff were at home.
His wife immediately tried to close the door with great vigilance: "No matter who you are, pretending to be Batman will not bring you any benefits. And if you want to do anything to us, you've found the wrong person..."
Then Killer Croc saw Batman snap his fingers, and then the invisible Batplane appeared directly in front of them, interrupting his wife Ellen's voice.
Batman's lower body emitted black nanorobots, which lifted him up and floated slightly.
He seemed to be showing off. The plane changed its silent flight mode and hovered on the top of the Baker's house with a whistling sound.
"Yeah, it's the real Batman!"
Animal Man's eldest son Cliff was only a teenager and seemed to be a crazy admirer of Batman.
He took advantage of his surprised mother's inattention and directly opened the door, running to Chen Tao with cheers.
The teenage boy had a look of piety as if he had seen his idol, and he stretched out his trembling hands to grab the bat cape:
"Oh my God! It's Batman! I dreamed of such a day!"
He said very quickly:
"Are you here to see my dad, Animal Man? You are all superheroes... Oh my God! Batman is visiting my house, I can't believe such a good thing is happening!" He circled around Batman and shouted to his mother: "Mom, don't worry, it's the real Batman, look at his Batplane, he is a superhero, a good man--" At the shouting of the eldest son Cliff, Animal Man's wife Ellen seemed to relax her vigilance. She opened the door and walked out, then stammered, "Oh my God, it's Batman, please come in, um, I mean, please sit down. I'll call Buddy back right away."
The hostess took a long time to straighten her tongue:
"Oh my God, Batman, I heard about your urban legend in Gotham when I was in middle school! The store in front of my middle school even sold the same cards as yours. They treated you as a vampire and sold you as a set of cards with other urban legends such as Hanako in the toilet."
After confirming that it was true, the hostess also seemed very excited: "I have always been your fan!"
So Batman was going to use this family to do something?
Killer Croc thought silently. He felt some of the power of the Red of All Living Things in this house.
He had to admit that even if he had not seen Buddy Baker in person, the other party was very likely the most powerful Red of All Living Things he had ever seen.
What King Billy, what human-faced bat, had to stand aside in front of Animal Man. Even the places where he lived can leave such a strong life force, like a planet running its own orbit in the galaxy. It is hard to imagine how much power he has been given by the Red of All Living Things.
Killer Croc's head turned. Since he got close to the crowd and no longer curled up alone in the sewer, his humanity has grown significantly. At least his brain will not get stuck like in the past.
At this time, our big crocodile was thinking carefully.
Did Batman want Animal Man to help him deal with Brainiac? Oh, then he should really build a good relationship with Animal Man's family. With the help of Animal Man, they will definitely be able to...
He just thought halfway when he saw Batman not far away extending his hand to the two fans who invited him warmly.
Oh, is he going to shake hands with them?
Then Killer Croc saw Batman's hand brush and turned into a constantly rotating wheel, and then it hit the forehead of his eldest son Cliff.
"Ward Walker!"
This time it was Killer Croc's turn to scream, which looked very painful.
With a bang, the young child lay on the ground and fell into a baby-like sleep.
Before Animal Man's wife Ellen could scream, she was hit on the head by Batman, who had teleported in front of her. She fell to the ground without a word. After hitting her, Batman even reached out to hold her to ensure that she would not fall to the ground.
Killer Croc looked dazed.
"Waylon! Come out and clean the floor!"
He heard Batman calling him, and Killer Croc jumped off the plane and landed on the ground.
"Deal with the body...ah, no, deal with the unconscious person, you should understand."
Killer Croc nodded numbly.
In Gotham for so many years, he had worked as a gangster brother and a gangster boss, and worked for countless villains. Dealing with the body was already a job he was very familiar with.
"Then what are you still standing there for? Move them in."
Killer Croc's mind had already seen such a scene:
Animal Man, who had just returned from his heroic deeds, found that his pregnant wife and his eldest son had been killed, so he was furious and tore himself and Batman into pieces. Batman was fine, but he wiped his hand on his face and said, "It was Mud Face." Then he really became a roasted crocodile steak, deader than dead.
Oh, by the way, don't ask him how he knew Mud Face's mental state now. A few hours ago, when he just entered the Batcave, Batman left him in the rest area and went to do other things. Then Killer Croc, who was waiting for Batman to take him to work alone in the rest area, saw a large group of women, and then...
Fortunately, he was loyal to his girlfriend and didn't make a big mistake.
Killer Croc blinked and refocused his thoughts on the problem at hand.
It's okay. Anyway, when Animal Man comes to kill him, he will sell Batman out - damn it, how can he look more like a murderer with this face? But he was watching the whole process on the plane and didn't get involved at all!
The big crocodile moved both of them back to the room and put them on the big bed.
"Why did you throw this kid on the bed?"
Then he saw Batman pick up the little boy Cliff who admired him directly from the bed and threw him into the corner like garbage: "He is not needed."
Then he stretched out his hand, and countless black nanorobots slowly emerged from his body and climbed onto the belly of Animal Man's wife Allen.
Chen Tao narrowed his eyes.
As we all know, whether it is the Red of All Living Things, the Green of All Things, or the Black of Decay.
This kind of supernatural power can have countless low-level spokespersons, but there can only be one most powerful agent.
For example, the Green of All Things can have Poison Ivy and Plant Master as its spokespersons, but no one can replace the position of Swamp Thing.
Similarly, for the Red of All Living Things, whether it is Killer Croc, the Man-faced Bat, or Chen Tao himself, or even Animal Man himself, they are just useless low-level spokespersons, and cannot be compared with the real controller.
Among this generation of the Red of All Living Things, the controller whose status is equivalent to the Green Swamp Monster of All Things is named Maxine.
This future Queen of Life is now in the womb of his biological mother.
That's right, Buddy Baker is just the protector chosen by the Red of All Living Things for the real Queen of Life, with the purpose of defending her from the attack of the Black of Decay before the Queen of Life grows up completely.
But the problem is that our Queen of Life is not facing the Black of Decay at this time, but Chen Tao, Batman, a new kind of weak but equal-level supernatural power:
Metal Spirit!
However, the Red of All Living Things at this time has no idea what they are facing.
"Stop!"
Countless tiny nanorobots are invading the abdominal cavity of Animal Man's wife Allen.
Chen Tao saw a bird screaming violently on a branch in the distance, and then countless flesh and blood grew on its body. In a few seconds, the bird was turned into a cat head.
Chen Tao knew him. He was a member of the Totem Council from the Red of All Living Things, an elder from the Totem Council. It was he who insisted on training Maxine to become the Queen of Life, and it was he who arranged the so-called adventure of Animal Man Buddy Allen.
"Stop, you will cause Maxine to miscarry. You don't know what you are doing at all!!!"
Chen Tao did not respond.
"Batman!! Do you want to let the power of the Black of Decay continue to grow uncontrollably? The Queen of Life is the key to suppressing the Black of Decay. You are committing suicide, a complete suicide. You are harming all life on the entire earth. You are an act of terrorism. Stop it!"
The cat head seemed a little too excited, and even accusations such as terrorism came up.
Most users of the power of the Red of All Living Things will return to the Red of All Living Things after death and become a member of the Totem Council, just like the Tree Council of the Green of All Things.
Chen Tao deduced that the other party might have just returned to the Red of All Living Things not long ago - probably within a few decades, and the real immortals in the council would not understand this adjective.
"Let me enter the Red of All Living Things, elders of the Totem Council, I have something to discuss with you."
Chen Tao quickly said: "Don't think I don't know. I know you better than you think."
"You are not qualified to enter All Living Things -"
Before the cat condensed from the bird could finish, it heard Animal Man's wife Ellen screaming in a coma.
"You win." He shouted: "I will let you in, stop!"
