Chapter 160 Red of All Living Things

Chapter 160 Red of All Living Things

"Batman, I think you're a little too extreme." Killer Croc tried to organize his words. "Anyway, using an unborn baby as a threat is still a little too mean. We are superheroes, maybe we can use more gentle means..." Chen Tao glanced at him with his eyes slanted. Have you forgotten the years when you were a gangster in Gotham? "Ah, yes, yes." He nodded. Killer Croc said earnestly: "Superheroes should act like superheroes. We don't kill people. We..." "Unborn babies are not considered human beings." Killer Croc was silent. It actually sounded reasonable. Then he suddenly saw Batman smiled gently and waved his hand - seeing Clay Face, such a Batman was really scary. "You think too much. In fact, even if the Red of All Living Things doesn't take the initiative to send people to negotiate with us, I won't do anything to the future Queen of Life." His tone was so sincere that Killer Croc couldn't figure out whether he was joking or really thinking so. "I just want to scare those old antiques in the Red Totem Council of All Living Things. Otherwise, even if we scream our throats out, they won't take us seriously." Chen Tao said, "I'm a superhero. Killing a baby in the womb? Hahaha!" He smiled and patted Killer Croc's shoulder, and Killer Croc felt a chill down his spine. "Speak nicely, Bat."

"I'm really speaking nicely. I won't do such a thing."

"Really?"

"Really."

Chen Tao had a sincere expression, then paused and added: "After all, I'm not a villain like the Joker, the Riddler, Two-Face, Killer Croc, or Mr. Freeze."

Killer Croc choked, then immediately emphasized: "I'm no longer Killer Croc."

The big crocodile grinned, then raised his arms, showing his muscles: "I'm planning to switch to being a superhero now. Although it's illegal, it's not a big problem."

Then he made a classic bat-like standing posture: "I'm the night, I'm revenge, I'm - Crocodile Man!"

"Let's talk about it when your new movie is released." Chen Tao shook his hand, motioning them to stay where they are, then he turned his head and looked at the cat in front of him.

"Hey, cat."

He said.

He looked at the seemingly ordinary cat in front of him. This was a common tabby cat. Except for the slender body and the mucus that had not yet dried on his body, this guy was no different from an ordinary wild cat on the roadside.

But Chen Tao knew very well that it was not a wild cat. It was a "totem". When the king of the Red of All Living Things died, they would return to the Red of All Living Things and become a member of the Totem Council, becoming one of the controllers of this supernatural power, just as the "Swamp Monster", the incarnation of the Green of All Living Things, would end up in the Tree Council.

Chen Tao had read the comics and actually had some impression of this cat, but he had forgotten his name. So he spoke.

"What should I call you?"

"Itanesius."

(Note: the original character, it appeared in "New 52 Animal Man")

The cat seemed quite cooperative.

"This name is too hard to remember, so I'll call you Socks."

Chen Tao casually gave it the nickname given to it by the Queen of Life "Maxine" who was still in her mother's womb in the comics.

"Okay." Socks agreed, licked his paws, like a real wild cat, and then continued to pretend to perform his skills.

"How long will it take to open the passage to the Red of All Living Things?"

"It's almost there."

Chen Tao smiled.

"You are waiting for Animal Man to come back."

He said directly.

Socks could not help but stiffen.

"There is no doubt that Buddy Baker is the most important protector of the unborn Queen of Life, and the strongest agent of the Red of All Creatures so far."

"It is indeed a normal choice for you to pin your hopes on him."

Chen Tao kindly showed the image projected on his arm to Socks: "So now Animal Man is entangled by the people I arranged. I am here to decide the Red of All Creatures today, so don't be lucky."

In the image, Animal Man is fighting a large group of people: the heavily armed Deadshot, the Cheshire Cat wearing a mecha and holding a samurai sword, the tumbling and jumping Harley Quinn, and of course the most important figure - Poison Ivy surrounded by countless plants in the center.

"So this is why I hate you, you know? You want Buddy Baker to help you protect the future King of Life, but you don't want to give him too much power, so the result now is that he can't even deal with these few people quickly."

In the video, half of Buddy Baker's body swelled with huge muscles. He borrowed the power of dozens of elephants and swept away the vines that Poison Ivy had wrapped around him in an instant.

But the next second, the bullet of the Dead Shooter exploded on his forehead, and a huge electric current exploded, electrocuting him to fall in the air and lying on the ground twitching constantly.

Others rushed forward, some stepped on the nose, some knocked on the temple, and the sound of ping-pong was endless.

Socks heard Batman's voice ringing in his ears like a ghost:

"I used electronic means to block any calls Buddy Baker might receive, and created an information cocoon for him in a short period of time, but he still found that his family was attacked. You notified him through the Red of All Creatures, right?"

"But your time is too short. You can't quickly increase the power of Animal Man Buddy Baker. Your influence on the world is very limited."

The cat took a deep breath.

"How do you know so much?"

"I know more. For example, it doesn't take that long to open the Red of All Creatures."

Then Socks heard Batman's indifferent voice. He appeared behind the cat like a ghost. Socks felt that he was suddenly thrown into the cold sea water, cold, biting, and full of the breath of death.

The cat gritted his teeth, and the hair on his body exploded. His body squirmed, and then the gills grew out of his neck.

But the organs from deep-sea animals not only failed to relieve the fear he felt, but made him feel more suffocated.

And all this was not as good as the fear he felt when he saw Batman's actions.

Chen Tao walked directly to the side of Animal Man's still unconscious wife, Ellen, and stretched out a palm to cover her belly.

"Either open the Red of All Beings to let me in, or choose a new King of Life for you, Socks, I'll only give you 30 seconds to make a decision."

"Hey, Batman, you don't really want to..."

Killer Croc came up: "Even by the standards of villains, it's too beastly to attack a pregnant woman, you know..."

Then the next second, Batman turned around and glared at him.

Chill! Bone-piercing chill!

The air seemed to be freezing, and Killer Croc seemed to have returned to the scene when he first met Batman, many, many years ago, when he was still a fledgling gangster thug.

The black shadow fell in front of him like a meteor, his red eyes radiating the glow of the sun in old age, a majestic cold air roaring out from him, and his mouth spewed out cold air that could almost freeze the soul: "Shut up." Killer Croc then realized that Robin had told him that Batman was as good at instilling great fear in others as Scarecrow. He could scare others in more than 400 ways without hurting them, and even the closest people would be scared by him. The familiar fear surged in his heart again, and he dared not speak. Chen Tao scared Killer Croc away on the surface, but in fact, the other party's actions were all within his consideration. Killer Croc was equivalent to the chicken. He deliberately threatened the other party like this, just to kill the chicken for Socks to see. He was a little helpless. If he played his mind to such an extent, and Socks was still unwilling to open the portal of the Red of All Living Beings for him, he would really have no way out - Could he really strangle the future Queen of Life Maxine in her mother's womb? Not to mention how much hatred Animal Man would gain from this, if he really did that, Red of All Living Things would definitely not have time to train a strong enough agent.

Black of Decay would be completely out of control, completely occupy Red of All Living Things, and beat the other party back step by step, then the balance between nature would collapse.

Chen Tao didn't want to get involved in the magic side, but if Red of All Living Things really collapsed, it would be tantamount to suicide.

This is why he didn't plan to recruit Animal Man to join in the fight against Brainiac: as the protector of the Queen of Life, Animal Man Buddy Baker's duty is to protect the other party. Once he is called away, who knows whether Black of Decay will take advantage of the empty guard to take advantage of it?

Animal Man's daughter Maxine and Swamp Thing are the key to fighting Black of Decay. If there is a problem because he transferred Animal Man, it is equivalent to artificially creating a crisis. Isn't this idiotic?

And in the end, as Killer Croc said, he is not a complete villain after all. People still have to have a bottom line. He never thought of doing anything terrible to a pregnant woman from the beginning to the end.

He stared at the cat's eye of Socks, trying to control the last bit of expression on his face as much as possible.

This is a battle of momentum. As long as he can deceive the other party and let him open the portal of the Red of All Beings for him, he can...

Chen Tao has prepared for failure in his heart. It's nothing more than not being able to fuse Bat Dragon to fight Brainiac. In fact, in the end, it is not an unacceptable result. It's nothing more than one less trump card. He has made the greatest effort. Everything else will be left to the final result.

He raised his hand, and the black nanorobots coiled around his palm, "I advise you not to do any more tricks, Socks, this is the final ultimatum, and there are 10 seconds left."

"3, 2, 1--"

He put down his palm.

I'm afraid it failed.

It doesn't matter.

"Okay, I'll take you in."

Chen Tao showed a happy look.

Socks seemed to have made a decision.

"But I have a condition. I want to know what your purpose is. More powerful power? More authority?" Chen Tao immediately said:

"I'm not going to do anything to you. I just need a green dinosaur. I know you can pull it out from the long river of time. You are the embodiment of life on Earth, and all the lives of the past generations are part of you. Of course, this includes dinosaurs."

"Is that all?"

"That's all." Chen Tao said.

"We have no way to strip you of your abilities." Socks said with a complicated expression: "The Red of All Living Things is a very safe place, and few outsiders can enter."

He said: "If it is Animal Man, or the King of Life who has not yet been born, their power comes from our grant, so we can strip away their power at any time. They enter the Red of All Living Things and will not pose a threat to the Totem Council."

"But you are different, even Killer Croc is different from you. Like the human-faced bat, your power of the Red of All Living Things comes from extraordinary scientific potions, not magic."

"And you have no choice."

Chen Tao told him: "If you don't want to take risks, then you will just sit back and watch the King of Life being taken away by me. Kill, and then face the Black of Decay without any resistance. "

"You and the Black of Decay have no room for negotiation. He is expanding, a powerful natural energy that expands infinitely and follows instinct completely. You can't negotiate with them at all."

"But you can negotiate with me. I know you don't believe me, but what I ask for is nothing more than what you can give. We have a basis for negotiation. In any case, I also control the power of the Red of All Living Things. We are in the same camp."

Socks nodded. Batman was right. Instead of waiting to die, it is better to bet that Batman has good intentions. Moreover, their Totem Council is not completely powerless in the Red of All Living Things. When they get there, who knows who will win.

"Relax and sense that kind of network." Socks said: "Animal Man Buddy Baker once tested the power we gave him. Those nerdy humans in the Star Laboratory called it the animal mimicry field, but in fact we call it the network of life."

He stretched out a front paw and gently placed it on Chen Tao's arm.

"Feel the power of his Red of All Living Things, and you will soon find the door to his space in your body."

"What, Red of All Living Things is actually a specific place?"

Killer Croc made a surprised sound: "Oh my God, I always thought it was just an abstract thing, an invisible energy that connects all living things, and I just got a part of it by chance."

The cat rolled his eyes at the silly crocodile.

"That's because you are just a low-level agent!"

It scolded: "Stop talking nonsense!"

Chen Tao stretched out his hand.

Under his sleeves, the tiny metal of the Metal Spirit was slowly spreading, ready.

I suddenly found that there was a repeated paragraph at the end of the writing. I'm really sorry. I said how I could write 4,000 words so quickly today. It turned out that I accidentally got stuck when changing the paragraph before, resulting in two copies of the paragraph.

I will write more tomorrow, sob, sob, sorry to the big guys who followed me a few minutes ago.

"The Pirate Journey of Arceus" In the great pirate era, countless people rushed to the sea.

Those who obtain the power of Arceus come to this world as a new Arceus. The combination of Pokémon and fruit abilities will bring new changes to this world.
