Chapter 231 Bat Mage, Exploding Gold Coins and Scientific Research Results
Chen Tao watched Black Adam, who turned to ashes amidst the wailing.
He was different from those ordinary criminals. Simply put, he was a magician.
Many people might be used to Black Adam swinging his fists and beating people like Billy, but they overlooked that he was different from Billy, a child with power. He was a senior magic user, just like Zatanna, Constantine, Faust, the devil Atregen, Lady Xanadu, Meditation Mite, etc.
And the magicians all had a very significant characteristic: it was difficult to die.
Not to mention Constantine, who was not accepted by hell, a magician like Faust could even turn himself into a human-headed worm and survive there even when the world was destroyed in a certain timeline.
Therefore, unless they encountered a crisis of the level of the giant beast, such as Zatanna's father Zatara, an important member of the Dark Justice League and a user of irony magic, otherwise for many magicians, "disappeared into ashes" or "death" did not mean that they were really dead. Sit-ups were common for them, and resurrection was as common as eating and drinking.
Even Zatara, who died because of the giant beast, often did sit-ups in front of his daughter from time to time.
In short, he was dead, but not completely dead.
That's why Chen Taohao didn't hesitate to give Black Adam a hard blow.
If it was so easy to send Black Adam to the west, the Wizarding Union thousands of years ago would not have locked Black Adam up.
Now he just temporarily dispelled the other party, just like dispelling the hazy fog in the morning.
However, the next morning, this annoying fog will still come back.
Of course, Chen Tao glanced at the Cyborg Superman standing next to him.
In terms of his inability to die and sit-ups, Black Adam is only worthy of carrying shoes for the Cyborg Superman next to him. Cyborg Superman Hank Henshaw, his body is just a container of his consciousness, even Darkseid can't kill him. In the comics, he was destroyed countless times and still resurrected. He and Black Adam are more sticky than each other.
Chen Tao walked towards Black Adam's ashes.
"Ha, I knew it!" Killer Croc whispered to Captain Cold, "Believe me, Batman will definitely laugh wildly with the ashes later, and then spread them evenly on his body."
Facing Captain Cold's horrified eyes, the big green crocodile vowed, "Yes, this is what we Gotham people would do."
Mars Hunter nodded secretly beside him. The government has been analyzing Batman's behavior for a long time, and the other party does often do some more abstract, rather than concrete, behaviors. Killer Croc has been with Batman for a long time, and he knows him very well. The speculation he made is the same as the impression left by the government data.
But to everyone's surprise, they saw Batman squatting on the ground.
Some tiny nanorobots condensed in his palm to form a small urn.
"Holy, the deceased. May you turn into waves and fade away with the sea, and fly to the edge of the sea and sky in the dim sunset."
Then Batman poured all the ashes into the small box he made with nanorobots.
The small box floated to his head. Just when everyone thought he would suddenly start laughing wildly and put the ashes into his mouth, he just let the box float quietly beside his head.
"This is different from what you said." Captain Cold whispered to Killer Croc.
"Actually, think about it carefully." Killer Croc said, "Black Adam was completely killed by Batman. In this matter, he behaved so normally to collect the ashes for the other party. This is the most abstract."
Big Croc published his "Abstract Relativity", but soon turned his head and met Batman's disapproving eyes. He was so scared that he dared not speak.
But Chen Tao quickly pulled his attention back from Killer Croc.
[Warning! Warning! ]
[It has been detected that you have an anchoring prop: Black Adam's Ashes]
[Introduction: The legacy left by the magic guard thousands of years ago after he was destroyed. His despair and wailing before his destruction are exactly the same as when he was sealed thousands of years ago. Also destroyed was his endless greed for magic power. You might be able to use it to summon a Batman from a parallel universe. ]
[However, could a being that was reflected by a desire for magic be a kind wizard? ]
["No! Don't shout it out! Don't let me shout that spell! It will kill me!"
[Converted crisis energy: 159]
[Your crisis energy at this time is: 976]
[Warning, downloading files that can target Batman]
[Bat Mage]
[Danger level: B-]
[In the main universe, Batman believes that magic cannot be controlled or controlled, so his attitude is to stay away from magic. However, in a dark multiverse, the Batman of that world did not travel around the world, but learned magic from Zatanna, and then learned chaos magic, killed the demon Etrigan, and his wand was strengthened by the ghost, becoming a cunning and agile magician. ]
Chen Tao looked at this explanation and thought about it.
"Let's go." He said. He naturally took away Black Adam's ashes, leaving not even a tiny particle behind - the nanorobots are still on the ground, identifying and searching for Black Adam at the microscopic level.
He picked up the leader of the Justice League who was still unconscious, let Kara Zor-El hit him first, and flew towards the city.
…
…
…
For the whole world, no one knew about the war that happened in the suburbs before.
But the only thing that can be confirmed is that with the establishment of the league, the forces under the government and Batman's personnel soon merged and created a big earthquake.
Gotham, in the laboratory of the Wayne Group.
"Ah, Batman, you are here." Lucius turned his head and saw Batman, as usual, turning into a wisp of tiny bat robots from the edge of the window and flying in. His face was full of fatigue, although he himself might not feel it.
Lucius was sure that the other party must be exhausted physically and mentally. As one of the core members of the Batman Group, Lucius was very clear about what happened during this period. The problem of the integration of the two groups made Bruce even busier.
"Dr. Silas Stone." Chen Tao nodded to the other person in the room, which was considered to be a acquaintance. Then he asked impatiently: "How is the research on the Mother Box going?"
In the center of the room, the Mother Box was among various sophisticated instruments, and countless tiny particles on the surface kept swimming and emitting magnificent and terrifying light.
"The situation is not good." Dr. Stone was the first to speak: "All our previous assumptions about the Mother Box were problematic."
"What do you mean?"
Dr. Stone took out a remote control and pressed it, and a gap opened in the steel wall next to it, revealing a terrible monster soaked in nutrient solution.
Or the corpse of a terrible monster, the monster was full of marks of being strangled, and there were scorch marks from laser weapons piercing it.
"We tried to combine a living creature with the technology of the Mother Box as you said, so as to create a half-mechanical and half-biological weapon."
Dr. Stone pushed his glasses. In the field of the Mother Box, he had been studying it for a long time before Lucius, and he could be called a real expert.
"However, the experiment failed completely. The Mother Box only devoured every creature under its control. It didn't understand the meaning of creation at all." He said, "Those creatures were under the control of the Mother Box's will and turned into monsters that only knew how to kill. Some even showed demon-like characteristics." "When we created him for the first time, the monster had a terrible riot. If Lucius hadn't arranged for Poison Ivy to be present in advance," Dr. Stone looked at the broken monster with some fear: "Maybe we would have another experimental accident." "Frankly speaking, the idea of trying to create a cyborg with Apocalypse technology is almost impossible to achieve." Lucius added: "We tried many times, modified the parameters countless times, and created it as you said. Many machines were used to supply the newly born cyborg to be devoured, but no matter what kind of animals we use, we might as well use clones..."
Lucius scratched his head first: "Well, although those clones have no consciousness, this still challenges the bottom line of morality."
"But even if we use so many methods, no matter what, we all failed in the end."
"Even normal humans with will cannot succeed." Dr. Stone said: "Human consciousness has limits, and they cannot compete with the control of the mother box."
"So..."
"So?"
Chen Tao carefully tasted the answers given by the two scientists, still unwilling to give up: "If if we use a real..."
"Such an idea is neither responsible nor scientific."
But as expected, he aroused unanimous opposition from the two.
"Okay, okay."
Chen Tao's eyes were a little gloomy. He didn't actually say that he wanted to use the real "person", that is, himself.
But after all, he didn't dare to gamble whether he relied on the power of Bat-Lenyaq to crush the mother box, or the mother box eroded himself with the mind of Apocalypse.
After all, it was too dangerous, and it didn't go to that step.
Chen Tao clenched his fist, then slowly loosened it.
But then again...
The Mother Box is completely unable to merge with living things? Then how did Cyborg come into being?
Is the existence of every superhero really an irreplaceable miracle?
Wait...
"Have you used all the machines in the laboratory when the demon-like attacked that day?" Chen Tao touched his chin and asked, "Leave no debris behind, is it the arrangement of the day?"
The two scientists looked at each other, and then nodded together.
"Yes, but this does not change the result of the failed experiment."
Chen Tao quickly browsed their experimental logs, and then as he looked at them, he suddenly felt a sense of horror. He paused, and then said:
"Is there a possibility..."
Is there a possibility that if he had not interfered that day, even if Victor Stone, the future Cyborg, really tried to merge with the Mother Box as in the comics, he might not succeed?
His fusion with the Mother Box would only create a terrible monster, not the future superhero Cyborg?
This conjecture seems ridiculous, but the fact that the mother box cannot be integrated with living things as shown in the experimental data seems to be true.
Damn, what kind of dark universe am I living in?
But he quickly stuffed such negative emotions back into his heart, then calmed down and changed the subject temporarily: "Okay, you two, we have other work to do next." He said: "I need you to help me deal with the problem of gorilla Grodd and turtle man." "Do you have a deep enough understanding of the two of them now?" "Okay." Dr. Stone said: "But I'm afraid it will take a while, tomorrow. I made an appointment with my son Victor Stone to watch his basketball game today." Chen Tao stared at him. Oh my god, Cyborg's father came to watch his football game? "Is it a football game?" Lucius next to him said. "No, no, it's a basketball game." Dr. Stone answered him: "My son Victor Stone is not only a football player now, but also a basketball player." His face was full of pride that only a father could have: "Today our whole family will go to watch his basketball debut." "Victory! Victory!" As he said, the father actually began to dance and imitate Victor Stone's most famous slogan on the football field. "So I can't be late." Dr. Stone gestured for a while, then said: "I promised my son that I would definitely go to see him. In order to take care of my schedule, he even blocked the time of the game and delayed his promotion, just so that I could be there to participate in his game." "I can't let him down." He looked at the clock hanging not far away: "And it's too late now, it's time to get off work." "But..." Chen Tao frowned. He is now busy with all kinds of messy things every day. He doesn't want Dr. Stone, an expert in mother box research, to get off work on time... I haven't gotten off work yet, how can you get off work? Ah ah ah ah ah ah——A bat who has been busy recently roared in his heart. However, before Chen Tao could say anything, Dr. Stone had already begun to resolutely pack up the things on the table: "Don't come to me when you are about to get off work next time, Batman, oh, anyway, I'm sorry, but important things should be discussed tomorrow." He cleaned up everything in a few seconds, then lifted his feet and disappeared in an instant. "See you tomorrow!"
Pah!
Batman slapped his forehead.
Lucius looked at him cautiously.
"Ah, don't be angry, Batman."
He carefully chose his words: "I know you are under a lot of pressure, but Silas has vowed never to let his son down again since he almost lost his son last time."
He said: "He is determined to be a good father."
Seeing Batman didn't say anything, he couldn't help but start to worry about Silas Stone.
Dr. Stone was sent by the government to Batman after all, and the other party would not trust Dr. Stone as much as he trusted him. He didn't want the other party to have a gap with Dr. Stone.
But in the end, he saw that the other party still took a deep breath:
"Forget it."
Chen Tao said: "You accompany me to train my new ability."
