Chapter 332 I, Batman, and the Crime Syndicate are brothers
"Doctor, didn't you say you could communicate with that thing called decay..."
Johnny Quick turned his head and asked the expressionless flame skeleton.
"Decay Black."
"Yes, I mean the mysterious power called Decay Black."
Johnny Quick turned his head and looked at the Flash who was lying on the ground and trembling at a high frequency.
The face of his defeated opponent had been shaken into a blur, but in Johnny Quick's high-speed vision blessed by the speed force, the other party's face was full of pain.
He knew that the Flash was expelling the Atom Girl who invaded his body. Although he had confidence in his girlfriend, it was still difficult for him to say what the final result would be.
As for Batman...
Uh. At this time, the other party was lying next to the Flash, like a black porcupine squatting on the ground.
He put on a cheering posture like in a cartoon, kept shouting "Come on", and repeatedly said some incomprehensible words such as bondage and faith.
How can such cheering and encouragement help the situation...
What the ***!
Johnny Quick's eyes widened. His earphones heard his girlfriend Atom's complaints. The Flash was actually gradually expelling her from his body? !
Just because Batman was encouraging him like a kindergarten kid?
But even so, he still didn't dare to rush up and attack Batman at this time.
Before carrying out this mission, Night Owl repeatedly told them how powerful Batman was, and deliberately emphasized that they should run away when they saw the other party, and never think about fighting.
As for Johnny Quick himself, although he sometimes likes to "play", he and his girlfriend Atom generally obey the decisions made by the entire Crime Syndicate.
This is why in the history of comics, the Crime Syndicate chose Atom as a spy to carry out their plan to destroy the Justice League.
Therefore, at this moment, the speedster named Johnny Quick made a real mistake.
Now, he can either follow Night Owl's order, take Deathstorm with him, and then order his girlfriend Atom to come out of the Flash's body, and then the three of them will quickly escape together, leaving behind Firestorm who is still tied there, which is equivalent to executing a complete escape strategy due to the appearance of Batman. This is one choice;
Or he can completely ignore Night Owl's order, and then convey his opinions to his two teammates, while Flash Barry has no power to fight back, and do his best to attack Batman, trying to injure or kill him, so as to achieve his fundamental purpose of taking away Firestorm and Flash, which is another choice;
Which of these two choices does Johnny Quick choose? It is an extremely correct behavior. Even if he cannot achieve his goal, he can at least achieve part of it or escape unscathed;
But there is only one thing:
He must not choose nothing and hesitate in place.
The indecisive side of Johnny Quick's character prevailed, which may be a common problem among speedsters. They have too much time to think about their actions, and therefore the more they think, the harder it is to make a decision. Johnny Quick is an excellent executor, but lacks the talent of a leader. Such a character trait is fatal in the current confrontation.
It was either fight or escape, the opportunity was fleeting, but Johnny Quick just stood there, and then whispered to Death Storm:
"Didn't you tell me that you can feel the strength of the other party's life energy through this power?"
"It is through the Black of Decay to feel the ease of contaminating the other party."
"That's the same, so...what's the result?"
Death Storm was silent for a while: "I don't know."
"What do you mean by don't know?"
"Damn, Batman doesn't look like a living person at all."
Death Storm said: "I didn't feel any characteristics that could be corroded from him. It's just like an empty shell wearing Batman's coat."
"And there's nothing inside!"
"..." Johnny Quick thought for a while, then said:
"Have you contacted Night Owl and Speedmaster?"
"Not at all." Death Storm said: "So what should we do now?"
...
...
...
"Where is the Martian? Where is the Ringmaster? Where is Night Owl?"
(Note: These two people are the evil versions of Martian Manhunter and Green Lantern on Earth 3)
When Speedmaster heard Batman's question, he didn't intend to answer him.
He saw that Batman had untied the ropes on Luthor. The bald man lost the restraint of the ropes and slid down from the chair softly, then fell to the ground with a thud, face down.
"Wuwuwuwuwuwu..."
Luthor didn't know whether he was hit too hard or what happened, but he couldn't get up.
He whimpered, but Batman didn't mean to help him.
Superman was ready for the battle. Night Owl made a huge mistake in his judgment, but Superman was in no mood to blame him at the moment.
Batman's appearance meant that his plan to seize the method of making artificial kryptonite was under great threat.
He originally planned to let Deathstorm and Johnny Quick's affairs serve as a cover for him, but he didn't expect that he would become their cover, which was terrible.
He could accept that Deathstorm and Johnny Quick didn't get the enhancements they wanted, but he couldn't.
He is now the leader of the crime syndicate, but all this is based on his own strong strength.
Once he does not become stronger, and his subordinates become stronger, this will undoubtedly shake his power.
Hiss... Wait, this plan was prepared by Night Owl. Is there a possibility that he originally intended to use this method to indirectly weaken himself...
Superman's brain turned several ideas in a short period of time, but the movements of his hands had no effect at all. He walked towards Batman and began to gradually stretch his muscles. He needed to ensure that he was in the best condition.
Superman glanced at Luther lying on the ground.
In addition, he had to ensure that Luther's life was safe.
The cave is not an excellent battlefield, because Superman did not consider any factors of architectural mechanics when he used thermal vision to cut the mountain to create a cave. The reason why the entire cave has not collapsed now is entirely because he used thermal vision to heat and crystallize some rocks and forcibly reinforced the entire cave.
Otherwise, if he directly used thermal vision to drill holes from the cave to ensure lighting, could he still play SM games with Luther in it for so long?
Superman walked to a position almost close to Batman, and the two of them looked at each other from a distance, and neither of them spoke first.
Buzz!
Silver-white particles flashed, and Chen Tao, who was synchronized with the speed bullet, swept the ground under Superman's feet with a thermal line of sight, and immediately the top of the cave began to crackle and fall with rocks, and the whole cave was crumbling.
Superman hadn't reacted to what Batman wanted to do, and then he saw the other party grab Luther's neck and lift him up from the ground.
Luther, with a bruised face, was already in a very embarrassed state and looked pitiful. His lower body was dragged there limply, and Superman realized that he might not have restrained his strength when he tortured the other party just now, and he had already beaten Luther into high-level paraplegia.
Chen Tao released the synchronization of the speed bullet, and then he flipped his hand.
The nanorobot raised a curved blade dagger in his palm. Without saying anything, Chen Tao directly put the knife to Luther's neck: "Stop, don't get any closer! Otherwise I will stab him to death with a dagger!"
"???"
Superman fell into deep thought.
If he was not mistaken, he was the kidnapper, right?
Then the next second Superman realized that this threat was very real and flawless. If Luther died, he obviously couldn't get the method of making artificial kryptonite from Batman's mouth.
"Stop your people, Johnny Quick and Deathstorm."
He heard Batman say: "I demand that they both return to my alliance intact."
"You won't kill your accomplices-"
"Oh my God, Batman! Don't! Don't kill the Joker like you did..."
Superman pursed his lips. Luther's acting skills didn't seem to be very good, but he didn't dare to gamble. But he couldn't let the two of them leave, so the scene froze there for a while.
"Hey, brother!"
However, at this time, Batman opposite Superman said:
"There is no need for us to be hostile. As long as you are willing to share your rights with me, we can form a unified organization to enslave... to protect this planet."
"What did you say?" Superman slightly widened his eyes, and this action made his originally serious expression a little broken.
"What are you kidding?" Superman glanced at Luther next to him and cried with him: "What are you kidding?"
"Why, your Crime Syndicate is not recruiting new members? I'm not kidding, I sincerely want to join your Rogue Gang... cough, Crime Syndicate."
Superman has had enough of Batman's unwarranted teasing and humiliation. He secretly gave the Super Queen outside the communicator on his arm an order to protect Lex Luthor, and then prepared to take action.
He swung his fist and rushed directly towards Batman, and behind him, Super Queen, who had just jumped back from another mountain ruin, would rush over with him, using her body to protect Luther from being crushed to death by the rubble that fell from the incited collapse, while Speedmaster would hold Batman's waist and push through the entire mountain, and then the two of them would officially start fighting on the ground not far away.
This should have been the normal direction of things, and it was also the direction that Speedmaster could understand, but...
"This is the method of making artificial kryptonite." Speedmaster's action came to an emergency brake, and he was stunned to see Batman take out a paper formula and put it in front of him.
"Not only through compound synthesis, but the more important step is to use nanorobots to remove impurities."
He heard Batman say: "Did anyone tell you that artificial kryptonite was invented by me and copied by Luther?"
"What? No! You can't give this thing to Speedmaster!"
Speedmaster heard Luther screaming beside him, and he felt that he didn't hit the opponent too hard just now.
He tried to reach out and grab the document in Batman's hand, but soon came to his senses:
"Why?"
This could be a trap, or Batman's conspiracy, and he, Superman, would never be blinded by greed.
At this time, Super Queen hurried in from outside the cave. She was about to say something when she was interrupted by Superman.
Superman was angry that she had just helped Night Owl to speak, and he didn't want to hear another word from her.
"Because of the Anti-Monitor."
He heard Batman say to him very straightforwardly:
"Do you think I know nothing about the monster that destroyed your universe? Since they will destroy your universe, then our universe will also be one of their targets. Then what do you want to do, continue to escape? Keep running away?"
"I won't anyway. Even if you want to escape, are you sure you can find another world as beautiful as ours?"
Superman heard Batman say: "So I need strong teammates who can work with me to completely destroy the Anti-Monitor, instead of like what's happening in front of me--"
Superman carefully observed Batman's expression. He pointed at the bruised Luthor with his chin with some contempt: "Not only can't he help me, but he also needs my protection."
"We have a basis for cooperation. After defeating the Anti-Monitor, we can share this world together. This world is big and can accommodate all of us, but the premise is... it still exists."
"So, this is the deal."
Chen Tao said: "I will give you a method to make artificial kryptonite that will make you stronger, and even provide you with raw materials. You just need to eat as much as you can, and then fight alongside me. In return, you must release my three men, Firestorm, Flash, and Lex Luthor. Deal?"
"The Crime Syndicate will not share this world with anyone." Superman looked at Batman in front of him: "What you did is not the same as us."
His words made Batman's expression cold: "So, does this mean rejection?"
The two of them looked at each other, and then Superman shifted his gaze: "We will eventually have disputes, and there will eventually be a war, but not now."
Superman said: "I will recall Deathstorm and Johnny Quick. If you dare to give me a fake manufacturing method..."
"You have hands and feet, as long as you fly close to the ground at supersonic speed, you can destroy 50% of the population on this planet. Even if I can stop you, enough people will die. I won't be so stupid."
"You better know." Superman said. He raised the communicator on his wrist, started to contact and ordered Johnny Quick and Deathstorm to abandon Firestorm and Flash and come back quickly.
Luther, on the other side, was humming on the ground, and turned his head to look at Chen Tao.
He blinked.
Nanorobots, provide materials, and synthesize artificial kryptonite.
Luther knew what Batman wanted to do without asking. He looked at Superman who was holding the information and was very happy, and couldn't help but mourn for him in his heart.
However, after a while, Superman got a bad result.
The other party came over with a gloomy face.
"Something went wrong. Johnny Quick violated my order and planned to continue to attack Flash privately-but you left a clone there? You didn't even tell me." Superman said: "But we will solve the matter about Johnny Quick, and it will not affect our transaction."
