Chapter 166 Brainiac Arrives
Nightwing thought he was seeing things.
He blinked, and Batman's face was still solemn, just like he used to be.
"I am seeing things..."
This was the first thought that came to Nightwing's mind after he got up from the ground with his buzzing head. Then he immediately thought subconsciously:
"Oh my God, if I jump up and crash headfirst to death because I'm too surprised, this might be the funniest way to die of the year."
Nightwing stood up from the ground.
He heard Deathstroke sneer. If it was normal, this level of ridicule would not shake his mind at all, but at this time, there were other villains everywhere. In the public eye, how would they compose him?
"Oh, you are Nightwing, the one who almost jumped up and fell to death when he saw the Joker."
Damn!
Nightwing forced himself to control his thoughts and not to diverge into that kind of social death scene.
Seeing Batman dragging the Joker.
"Hahaha, hahahahahaha!"
Nightwing was glad that the laughter came from the Joker. Even though he was wearing a straitjacket and being dragged on the ground like a dog by a collar, he still laughed hysterically.
"Oh, what's the wind, little Bat, that made you pull me out of the love nest you built for me?"
"Ah, let me guess, now I... ah no, the situation we are facing is - ah hu, ah hu, hahahahaha!"
"You want to ask me for help?"
This is too normal, it's completely like the Joker's style. Among a bunch of horror villains who said "Batman is my good friend", even a perverted killer like the Joker seemed to become friendly. At least he was still as crazy and evil as before.
Nightwing thought silently. After a short period of excitement, he had roughly guessed the current situation.
After so many years of "cooperation" with Batman, Dick thought he knew Batman better than anyone else. Let's put it this way, as soon as Batman raised his butt, he knew Batman was going to...
Well, in short, Batman has never been a pedantic person. Over the years, Batman has cooperated with villains under the premise of facing greater crises.
Deathstroke, Mr. Freeze, the Batman...
This time, the crisis is just a little bit bigger, so Batman has found a little bit more villains to cooperate with.
Is this a thing? Obviously.
Not at all!
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
Nightwing heard another hysterical laugh, and he continued to think:
But what help can the Joker bring to us? Since Jason died, hasn't the bat always...
Nightwing's thinking suddenly stagnated.
Wait.
He looked up and saw Batman squatting in front of the Joker, the mouth under the mask opened, and a more authentic laugh than the Joker.
The Joker stopped laughing, and he stared at Batman coldly.
Nightwing was dumbfounded, staring at Batman.
Chen Tao put away his smile, stood up and said, "Not crazy anymore?"
"You..."
Before the Joker finished speaking, he was hit in the face by Batman's heavy punch, which directly broke his nose, causing his pointed nose to bend to the side like a broken straw.
"I don't intend to cooperate with you, Joker." Joker heard Batman's cold voice, and he didn't know how the other party with a body temperature of 37 degrees could say such a cold word: "I just intend to use you, scum."
He said without turning his head: "Bane, give me a hand, help me hold this guy, okay? I feel a little sick."
The Joker's eyes widened, and he saw Bane walk out of the crowd and obediently pulled his reins.
The other party was still a strong man with a hood, cold and arrogant. If you ignore the fact that he was obeying Batman's orders at this time, he must look very deterrent.
Nightwing watched numbly as Bane, acting like a Robin, led the still cursing Joker away, and then slapped him twice with great force - the ancestral Robin-style violent law enforcement.
"You actually hit me! Only Batman would hit me! Only Batman can hit me!" The Joker screamed:
"Oh, you're dead, you're absolutely dead!"
Bane led him around the Batcomputer and walked into the small room next to him. Beside him, the zombie Blake followed step by step.
Nightwing knew that small room, which was old and broken, covered with cobwebs, hot in summer and cold in winter. There was only a small, old and broken bed and a small table.
That was his room, or the room before, where he lived for a while - even though this Batcave was not the one under Wayne Manor, it was still one of the largest sub-bases in Gotham City. In his childhood, he often slept directly in this base after the night patrol.
But now, it seems that Batman has transformed this place into a cage, and Nightwing is sure that his small bed is no longer there.
Before Robin, who was preparing to reminisce, had time to feel strange emotions, a sudden noise attracted his attention.
Nightwing saw the ventriloquist in a maid costume following him happily. The other party's appearance was too magical. Nightwing was about to say something when he felt a pair of hands on his shoulders. He turned his head and saw Alfred wearing a candle headgear.
He leaned down and whispered in Nightwing's ear:
"Master Nightwing, please come over here, I will briefly explain the situation..."
Nightwing was a little surprised: "Ah... one penny? You..." He wanted to say something else, but Alfred dragged him away.
The villains no longer paid attention to him, they began to gather around Batman.
The Batman who made Nightwing feel familiar and strange began to speak.
"Dear scumbags, I have brought you a pardon issued by the President of the United States. As long as you are willing to fight for the earth..." Nightwing, who was pulled to the corner, heard Batman say on the stage: "We must protect our planet. In the face of the justice of the planet, all problems are no longer problems..." Alfred whispered to him: "Bruce... Bruce has changed a lot. I don't know how to tell you, Master Dick. But in short, he is Bruce, our Bruce." "What are you talking about?" Nightwing also answered him in a low voice, his voice was a little sharp because it was too low: "Are you crazy, Alfred?" Alfred was silent for a while, and then said categorically: "You don't understand, Master Bruce is going to retire, this is the last journey." "I don't see him retiring at all." Dick said: "And I don't think Bruce can retire, damn, I was fooled by you, I don't think he is Bruce "Si." His voice was slightly serious: "The Batman in front of me was at least not the Bruce I knew. Password: "After being coerced, you blinked twice in a row." "No, I have not been coerced by anyone, Master Dick. And Bruce was not occupied, but Bruce recaptured his body. That never tireless Batman is gone. Bruce, Master Dick, helped him to defeat the last enemy, please. "Ye Yi frowned:" Alfred, to be honest, I didn't figure out the situation. "His eyes fell as if Batman Brucene, who was still talking to the villain. Deathstroke held out five fingers. Nightwing knew that the other party was asking for 5 million, which was just the starting price. The other party would soon raise the price little by little during the mission.
He knew Deathstroke and the other party's market. Don't think that if you ask Deathstroke to kill someone for only 2 million, you really treat him as a cheap commodity.
Then he heard Batman say: "What? 50 million?"
"Agreed!"
Looking at the dumbfounded Deathstroke, Nightwing was speechless.
He listened to Batman's explanation for a while, then said, "The alien collector named Brainiac? Don't worry, I will definitely help--"
Batman was still giving a speech:
"...We will have the final battle in the Slaughter Swamp, pull Brainiac out of his biological shell, remove his turtle shell, and let him face the horror and reality of the earth!"
"Superman, I, Wonder Woman, will fight alongside you. Once the war begins, there will be no north or south..."
"...Brainiac is a villain with telepathic abilities. In order to prevent him from controlling one of us, we have specially created a potion specifically for Blake's telepathic abilities..."
The ventriloquist in a maid costume walked among the villains with rows of pink pills. He walked to Nightwing's side and motioned him to take one from the tray.
Nightwing didn't want to take it, but the other insisted, so he was forced to hold one in his hand.
He turned and whispered to Alfred: "Alfred, always thinking that Bruce will retire, don't you think this idea..." Batman chattered on the stage: "... Dear villains, once you find that you are about to be controlled by the mind, I suggest that you take this pill immediately. It can help you maintain your clarity of mind and will not be disturbed by telepathic abilities..." "Our dead friend Blake will help us maintain our control over Brainiac's psychic abilities..." "This is a defensive potion jointly made by the government and Batman. Take it with confidence, and there will be no side effects..." "Just in case of emergency! We know much more about Brainiac than you do..." "This pill is very precious, you should take it first..." Boom! ! ! ! Chen Tao was halfway through his words, and before he could react, a loud earth-shaking noise suddenly exploded in everyone's ears. This was obviously not the shouting of the crowd at all. Chen Tao, who was still working hard to mobilize the morale of the crowd, suddenly felt depressed. He quickly turned on the communicator on his arm armor and received the message as expected.
……
……
……
In the vast starry sky, Brainiac was carefully looking at the city in his hand. This was something he had repeated countless times. When he came to a new planet, he first took the most prosperous city on the planet, and then gave the planet an extinction package as appropriate to ensure that the city in his hand would become a unique product in the universe.
Of course, he would also collect many animals on the planet and then raise them all in the city. Then he would eliminate some useless parts of the civilization, such as repetitive laborers and low-end workers, and kill them all, leaving only some more important roles in this civilization, such as scientists or leaders. After processing, he would hang these cities on his spaceship according to the position of the starry sky.
And his throne was in the center.
This was the experience he had accumulated over the years. By killing all those useless characters, he could extend the existence of the entire race in his spaceship, preventing these races from inevitably falling into depravity due to their inferior genes, and then becoming useless races, so that he was forced to clean them up.
He had been doing this for so many years.
But this time, he did not do what he often did before, but placed the entire city securely in the center of his spaceship.
He connected to the communication channel of the entire planet. Those communicators made by humans were like paper in front of him, and they were hacked into by him without any resistance.
He appeared in the picture.
"People of Earth, I am Brainiac."
One by one, metal tentacles were winding around him, connecting his biological shell and his body.
He said:
"After the invasion of General Zod, I hope you have had the experience of being invaded and know what I want to do. I hope you have seen the news that Metropolis has been taken by me in your backward news media, and you also found that Metropolis has become a blank land.
Please don't panic, you are lucky, this planet is special, and I will not bring destruction to you like in the past. I have a more important goal than you."
Brainiac crossed his hands: "Batman."
"I can let this planet go for him, as long as you give it to me."
"Nothing will happen. I will leave here, and you will continue your life. If you think that letting this planet go is not enough, then I will add one more. If you are willing to hand over Batman to me, I can even return Metropolis to you, but if you refuse..."
Brainiac adjusted a posture, but in an instant it became a more deterrent posture, which was simulated by its artificial intelligence, which could mobilize the fear of the earthlings to the greatest extent.
He knew that he had changed from a friendly negotiator to a terrifying threat in an instant.
This change in identity is more likely to arouse the fear of creatures like Earthlings, Brainiac carefully evaluated.
Before attacking the Earth, he planned to make Batman a lone man. He studied the reasons why General Zod's threat failed. His technology was far superior to General Zod. This time, Batman could not invade his channel.
But the next second, he heard someone talking behind him.
"You don't need me to ask for it. I'm here in person."
Everyone, I'm back from py trading again! (Satisfiedly covering his butt)
