Chapter 189 Am I Chen Tao or Batman?
Chapter 189 Am I Chen Tao... or Batman?
Bang!
Victor Stone was slightly dazed.
Eh?
He blinked.
Then he reached out and wiped his face, and saw the monster that was strangling his father's throat exploded, and the green demon-like blood splattered on his face like it was free.
His father fell to the ground with the monster.
"Cough... cough... Victor! I'm fine."
Dr. Silas Stone got up from the ground while coughing, but staggered and sat down again because of the pain.
He covered his throat that was swollen from being pinched.
Victor hugged his father in shock.
"I'm sorry, kid, cough cough... I'm sorry. But I want you to know that this is the world, this dangerous world." Dr. Stone said while coughing: "You call this thing a monster? And I come into contact with such monsters every day, and many secret projects that the government cannot reveal to you." He paused, a little at a loss for words: "I'm sorry I don't want you to play football, and I'm also sorry I missed your football game, but you should know, kid, but we are not living in peacetime, and the situation we are facing now is no different from 1914 and 1939." "I... I just want to protect you, when facing this kind of monster..." He turned his head and looked at Batman, who was flying with red eyes, and the strong man with lightning wrapped around his body. Like a child who suddenly mastered the power, he punched a monster that almost killed him just now, and sent it flying backwards like a spinning top, and then cheered "Yeah!" "I know, I know, father, I'm sorry." Victor lowered his head. The dozens of demons that flew out of the portal were quickly slaughtered by Shazam and Chen Tao in just a dozen seconds.
The demon that tried to escape from the door with the mother box was shot down by Chen Tao's red heat ray before it could touch the door.
Chen Tao held the mother box in one hand and dropped it to the ground.
"Good day, Dr. Stone."
Then he turned his head and nodded slightly to Victor Stone.
Silas Stone got up from the ground. He dusted off the dust and looked at the demons lying all over the ground:
"Batman, I..."
"Thank you, Batman, thank you for saving us."
Dr. Stone glanced at his son who interrupted him excitedly and thanked him on his behalf, and then continued:
"Well, it seems that my son has thanked me for me, so Batman, about..."
Chen Tao maintained an expressionless face and was quietly thinking about how to persuade Amanda Waller and others not to force the mother box in their hands after they came over.
Maybe the current demon invasion is an opportunity...
So he also said: "I..."
Buzz!
The mother box in his hand suddenly trembled.
"Wow!" Shazam screamed beside him: "What the hell? Is he going to explode?"
Everyone around was frightened and took two steps back.
Buzz!
The mother box trembled again, and countless blue and red energies emerged on the smooth metal block, bringing a burst of fine bumps.
"I think he may reopen the portal, Batman, throw it out quickly." Dr. Stone slowly backed away, then he turned his head and shouted to his experimental assistant: "Hurry up and track his position!"
Buzz!
Without Dr. Stone saying it, Chen Tao could see the changes in the mother box.
He threw the mother box out, and Victor protected his father and backed away.
Chen Tao stared at the creation of Apocalypse.
On the metal block, the dark red energy seemed to be trying to break through the suppression of the sea blue energy, and tiny lightning kept entwining, flickering, and then gradually died.
Buzz!
Buzz!
Buzz!
The Mother Box was trembling constantly, and the sound was more like something roaring through the metal.
"The fight just now is not over yet, right?" Shazam walked to Chen Tao's side, clenched his fists, and was eager to try.
Gra!
The trembling metal suddenly turned over.
Chen Tao was in no mood to answer Shazam's words. He floated up and stared at the trembling metal block.
What came out of it...what would it be?
Steppenwolf? Darkseid wouldn't come directly.
How could it be possible? Chen Tao shook his head violently. If it was so easy to do, then Darkseid would have come when the portal opened just now.
He could only send a certain type of demon to try to take away the Mother Box. There must be something still restricting him.
Chen Tao stared at the sea blue energy on the Mother Box. They were getting fewer and fewer.
"Don't you have an emergency safe room? Hurry back..."
Before Chen Tao finished speaking, he saw the Mother Box reopened in a violent sound and light, and turned into a portal again. The next moment, countless demons rushed out of it continuously!
"For Darkseid!"
"Hah!"
Shazam took the lead and rushed forward.
His lightning instantly penetrated the bodies of more than a dozen demons. The lightning was like an electric shock, connecting between the bodies of those monsters, and then electrocuted them like scorched flies falling from the sky. But the next moment, more demons rushed over and wrapped him up like a demon ball. Chen Tao immediately put his hand on his communication device. "Batman calls Nightwing, can you hear me?" This place was originally the information provided by Nightwing to him, how could he not participate in this operation again? Chen Tao brought Shazam here completely on impulse. Obviously, he had prepared other countermeasures to deal with some possibilities. For example, if the negotiation failed, he had to rely on force to forcibly seize the mother box, thus turning against the government and them, so he had to fight with the metal man. As a result, he turned around and asked Nightwing and the Suicide Squad, who were ambushed outside, to take out the pre-prepared super-large electromagnetic interference measures to beat the metal man and those mecha big guys into idiots. Or he could just let the Clayface who was hiding beside the president hold the other party, his son who was still in kindergarten, and the nanny hostage, and force them to sit down and negotiate...
Hahaha, but this kind of plan is basically a very low probability event, he is just prepared for it.
In short, he had prepared insurance measures in advance. Although the sudden appearance of the demon-like monsters was not in the plan, he could still mobilize enough combat power in the first time to kill all the demon-like monsters.
"Batman calls Nightwing, we need a..."
"Got it, Batman, what should we do?"
Chen Tao heard Dick Grayson's voice in the headset. He knew that as long as he gave an order, the other party would bring the entire suicide squad, including strong players such as Deadshot, Killer Croc, and Poison Ivy, into the laboratory. Unless Steppenwolf or Darkseid came in person, it would only be a dangerous contact battle.
"For...Darkseid!"
Chen Tao turned his head and saw a shadow wearing heavy metal armor and with two horns on his head, trying to come to the scene through the portal, but it seemed that there was an invisible film blocking his entry. He tried several times but failed to squeeze through. He could only roar angrily: "Attack! Attack!"
More golems were ejected from the portal as if they were free, filling the entire wide laboratory. Shazam, who had just burst into lightning and broke free from many golems, was submerged again. He made a desperate voice:
"Come again? I haven't even made a pose yet!"
Chen Tao immediately said to Nightwing and the others.
"You guys will..."
Wait.
Chen Tao looked at the future Cyborg in his regular clothes and his father, the doctor, and suddenly his head buzzed.
He recalled the origin of Cyborg in the comics.
Shouldn't Victor Stone lose a hand and a leg due to the explosion of the Mother Box, and fall into near-death, and then his father used Apokolips technology to transform him into a semi-mechanical Cyborg?
Chen Tao held the Mother Box in his hand and fell into deep thought.
Did his arrival inadvertently trigger some kind of butterfly effect, causing the failure of the birth of Cyborg?
Chen Tao frowned.
But there was no time to think about it. He subconsciously threw the Mother Box in his hand to Dr. Stone. More and more demons rushed towards him. Chen Tao shot out heat vision in his eyes and pierced through the body of a demon.
The opponent struggled on the ground for two times, and then jumped up again.
Chen Tao made up another shot and burned his head.
Although the ability of the Speed Bat is also a Kryptonian, it is undoubtedly much weaker than the real Superman.
Chen Tao has adjusted the heat vision to the maximum power. If it were Superman, this demon and the ones behind him should have been melted by now.
He mobilized the sharp blade of the Broken Bat, slashed another demon that rushed over, turned around and shouted to Shazam: "Protect the Mother Box!"
"Batman, we need to directly..." Nightwing's voice came from the headset.
"Wait a minute."
Chen Tao whispered back to them.
He and Shazam protected Stone and his son while fighting and retreating, running towards the laboratory at the back, where there were heavy enough iron gates and enough equipment to block the demons, and... Enough to turn Victor Stone into Cyborg like in the original plot. If he didn't interfere. Damn, what am I thinking? Chen Tao shook his head. Now might not be the moment when Cyborg was born. The most important thing was to get rid of all these locust-like demons first. He turned to Silas Stone and yelled, "Is there any way to close the Mother Box? You have been studying for so long, or do you have any way to let me successfully connect to this thing--" Chen Tao narrowed his eyes. At worst, he could activate [Bat Brainiac]. As the Brainiac version of Batman, his computing power was infinitely close to that of the real version of Brainiac. Although as an A-level Batman, he could not synchronize for a long time, but if it was just to close a portal... Chen Tao cut off a demon that pounced on him with his backhand, and then transformed half of his arm into a shield composed of nanorobots, constantly resisting the incoming laser energy bullets. "Together!"
He shouted to Shazam who was fighting with dozens of demons. After getting a response, thermal vision and lightning burst out at the same time, clearing a small area of demons in an instant, so they were able to successfully retreat to the safe house behind.
"Squeak!"
As the jack fell, a demon was also cut off in an instant, leaving only the front half struggling and crawling on the ground trying to raise a gun to shoot Chen Tao and his group, and then was hit by Shazam's lightning into a green mosaic.
"I didn't feel so disgusting when I killed bugs in World of Warcraft."
He said: "Today is so exciting! More exciting than playing games!"
Chen Tao was in no mood to talk to the excited Billy.
He repeatedly weighed the question about Cyborg in his mind.
If today is the day that Cyborg was born, then has he accidentally changed the plot now?
If the future Cyborg Victor Stone would not be dying when the demons invaded, then his father would not have equipped him with the technology of Apocalypse, and he would not have become that half-human, half-biological robot.
In that case, Chen Tao is missing a teammate who can directly connect to the Mother Box!
Chen Tao has always known that he cannot completely follow the plot of the comics to infer what is really happening in the world in front of him, but he never thought of taking the Mother Box away from Dr. Stone. He just wanted to study this dangerous thing together in advance.
He just came here to connect to the Mother Box and try to get some results of the Mother Box research.
This would not affect the birth of Cyborg due to various accidents as in the original plot, but the problem now is that the event of Cyborg's birth may have appeared directly in front of him at this moment!
Should I intervene?
If he saved Victor Stone's life and prevented him from suffering that accident and thus failing to become Cyborg, wouldn't this reduce his chances of winning?
"Batman, Batman?"
Chen Tao turned around suddenly and saw Shazam calling him constantly. He was so absorbed in his thoughts just now that he didn't even hear the other party's shouting.
Billy pointed at the door:
"Those demons are knocking on the door, I feel that the broken thing is very likely to fail."
"To make a long story short, maybe I can reopen a portal and send all those monsters back."
Dr. Silas Stone's voice came from the side. He had just placed the mother box on the instrument next to him and kept operating it for a while.
"The new portal will create a huge suction force, enough to pull all of them..."
He spoke very quickly, but then suddenly paused.
"Then do it, Dad, the door is about to fail!"
Victor Stone shouted to his father, but Dr. Stone still didn't say a word.
"Wait, Dr. Stone, I looked at the data, if you do that..." The experimental assistant beside him looked at the mother box placed in the center of the experimental equipment, and then looked at the data on the screen.
He wiped the sweat from his head.
"If you want to open that portal, someone must take the initiative to drag the mother box into the center of those demons. But this means... that person will also be directly sucked into the portal!"
When this was said, everyone looked at each other.
Once the question of "who should be the sacrifice" was thrown out, everyone was silent.
Chen Tao silently stretched out his hand, and a small piece of clay-faced man's body tissue grew on it.
He squinted his eyes.
In fact, no one needs to sacrifice. He can completely rely on nanorobots and clay-faced man's body tissue to build a puppet, just like when he was stalling for time when facing Luthor.
But...
Will it create a steel bone...
Damn it!
He shook his head.
What will Batman do?
What will Chen Tao do?
Will Batman really witness a person about to be injured and disabled, and he obviously has the ability to help him but doesn't do it?
As for Chen Tao, can he really tolerate his odds of winning...
He was still struggling, but a voice came to his ears.
"I'll do it."
He turned his head and saw the future Cyborg, Victor Stone said in a deep voice.
I found py again! (covering her butt shyly)
