Chapter 337 Damian: The Man Who Aspires to Become King Robin
"Interesting."
Gotham, night.
In a temporary residential house somewhere.
Damian hid half of his body in the shadow behind the table, like a little bat ready to go.
Beside the burning fire, he heard his father talking to his mother.
He is only 6 years old this year, but he has completely mastered the disappearance technique that many 30-year-old ninjas in the Shadow Warrior League have not fully mastered. It is a stealth technique that creates the illusion of disappearance by deceiving others' senses, but in the hands of the former Batman, this stealth technique was played as a random refresh technique.
"You think the force that invaded the Leviathan organization you created is a super villain secret society led by outsiders under the Crime Syndicate."
Damian listened to his father quietly. His voice was low and slightly hoarse:
"Are you sure, Talia?"
"Isn't it?"
Damian heard his mother ask back:
"The Brain Demon is just a third-rate character who relies on superpowers to do whatever he wants. I have seen telepaths who are several times more powerful than him. And when this rubbish invaded my brain and tried to control me, he didn't even notice that I read his thoughts in reverse. Although he has telepathic ability, it is terribly weak. I can easily break free, and he can't even figure out whether I am completely under his control."
"If it weren't for them holding Damian hostage, I would have stabbed a rubbish like this into his head long ago."
Damian felt a little ashamed. He became a burden to his mother, preventing her from giving her all. Damian vowed that there would be no next time.
Talia's tone slowed down a bit:
"But it was precisely because of the incompetence of the brain demon that I was able to glimpse the truth. The person who gave the order to the brain demon was the guy called the outsider."
"Are you sure? Talia? The outsider looks like this."
Chen Tao said.
He handed a photo to Talia.
The other party took it in her hand, then observed it carefully by the fire, and then nodded:
"Yes, it's this pale-skinned man. It's him that I read in the brain demon's memory, he..."
"He stood in a room that looked like an interrogation room, and the brain demon was sitting on a seat. The other party looked down, holding a civilized stick, and took out a photo of you and Damian from his right pocket to show the brain demon, and his corsage was pinned on the left-"
"-Is that right?"
Talia's eyebrows suddenly frowned, because what the other party said was exactly the same as what she saw.
"How do you know?"
She said this first, and then suddenly said: "Have you checked the memory of the brain demon?"
"His memory has been modified. Not only his memory, but the memory of every villain who came to attack us has been modified."
Chen Tao said: "Although I joined forces with the Martian Hunter to explore their spiritual world, I still didn't find any obvious signs of tampering."
"Then what evidence do you have to say that he was modified?"
Talia asked.
Chen Tao lowered his head.
"Because... because I asked the Crime Syndicate directly."
"Huh!?"
"Didn't I tell you, Talia? Now we are in the same group with the Crime Syndicate, we are in the same boat."
"What's that saying? Being a superhero is not about fighting and killing, being a superhero is about making friends. So is there anything strange about this?"
"I made a deal with the leader of the Crime Syndicate, Superman, to ensure that we can live in peace without having to fight first. One of the important conditions is that he must stop the large-scale sabotage activities he had previously prepared on Earth, such as the Secret Society of Super Villains.
"Maybe... they lied to you and secretly ordered that outsider to form a secret society of super villains to prepare for some conspiracy. If they really didn't do anything, how could I get the memory of the Brain Demon?" Somehow, Talia seemed a little stubborn.
"Because the Brain Demon has become weaker. Come on, Talia, put aside your hopeless arrogance and think from the bottom of your heart. The Frightful Five have been fighting against the Teen Titans for so many years. If such an important member as Brainiac is really as weak as you said, then how did the Teen Titans survive for so many years? "
"There is no specific comparison of strength and weakness. This cannot mean..."
"Starfire, a member of the Titans, has fought against the Frightful Five for many years in the past and is an old rival of them."
"So what?" Talia asked.
"So, a few hours ago, I asked Nightwing to invite Starfire to the Batcave for dinner, and then used Brainiac as a sideshow during the dinner, tricking her into receiving a mental shock from the other party."
(Note: DC superhero Starfire, whose real name is Koriand'r, is a superpowered alien princess. She is the first generation Robin and the current Nightwing and Dick Grayson's lover. This is also the reason why Nightwing was invited, because the two of them were dating at the time.)
Talia didn't know what to say for a moment, but Chen Tao didn't stop talking.
"Then she commented that Brainiac was not as strong as before. Do you know what this means? It means that the Brain Demon has become weaker. "
"So Martian Manhunter and I reviewed the game again, but still found no substantial evidence that the Brain Demon's thoughts had been tampered with. However, when we repeatedly watched the scene where the outsider gave him orders, we suddenly discovered a problem. "
"The corsage on the left chest of the outsider."
"This is a very normal scene, and it is also in line with the etiquette of our planet, wearing a corsage on the left chest."
"But the problem is that in the parallel universe Earth 3, everything there is the opposite of Earth."
"Their habits are completely opposite to those on our planet. They don't wear corsages on the left chest, but on the right. Whoever is the mastermind who tries to cover himself up with the skin of the super villain secret society, he has no idea about the details of the crime syndicate, but regards them as the villains of our planet. This mistake caused his almost perfect plan to have a big flaw in the end."
"The brain demon himself is a telepath, although he is not very good at playing with the mind. But he is still a superpower. This means that if someone wants to tamper with his memory, it will become very difficult, dozens of times more difficult than tampering with ordinary people. But someone did it, and did it so perfectly. This is why I stopped you from going back to reorganize your Leviathan. "
"This time, going back to reorganize may not be as you imagined. You will face the empty space from scratch, but it is very likely to be in a dilemma of being besieged."
Chen Tao said sincerely:
"Once someone close to Batman is kidnapped, he will become a bargaining chip to threaten me. You threw Damian to me in order to prevent such a situation, but have you never thought that you might also become the target of kidnapping? "
"Not at all. "
Chen Tao and Talia looked at each other.
Talia turned her head away.
"But many of my subordinates are missing now. They are the people and teams I have accumulated over the years. I can't just abandon them. I thought I had eliminated the dangerous rebellious characters in my organization with your help, but now it seems that the real mastermind has not surfaced. But even so, I have to rescue my property from danger."
"So you want me to mobilize the entire Justice League to help you save your men?"
Talia blinked, and was actually a little playful.
"Obviously."
"Okay."
Chen Tao carefully considered it for a while, and soon agreed immediately. Since he didn't plan to join in person, he also added some people.
"In addition to the Justice League, I will also assign the Rogues to you. Don't underestimate them. When they join forces, they are enough to fight or even defeat any member of the Justice League, except Superman." Chen Tao thought and said, "Move quickly. The mastermind did not get rid of your men, but used them as bait to induce you to move in the direction he wants. You must achieve your goal before he reacts to prevent him from making adjustments based on you. You can immediately..." He rubbed his forehead with a headache: "No, no, I will let Lucius and Luther use the brain demon they captured before to find a way to create a high-power The blocker, wait until this thing comes out before taking action, it shouldn't be too difficult, Lucius has almost mastered the Mad Hatter's technology. From now on, every member of the Justice League must carry this blocker, a telepath with unknown purpose... trouble..." (Note: Mad Hatter Tetch, who can control other people's thoughts with a hat, has appeared in the previous article) "In short, this matter is decided. Next one." He whispered to the corner: "Damian!" "Damian!" "Father." Soon, Damian came out from the dark corner and stood in front of Chen Tao. He looked up and looked at Batman. "Well, formally meet, father. You are taller than I thought."
"I will send you to the Teen Titans. I am sorry that I can't be with you."
Damian lowered his head: "Is this a punishment, father?"
"Punishment?"
Chen Tao shook his head: "Of course not, this is protection and training. Train you to be a member of the team and a leader."
Chen Tao said: "I believe you are not unfamiliar with training."
"Yes, father."
Damian lowered his head slightly: "Follow your orders."
"..."
Chen Tao looked at the 6-year-old kid who bowed his head to him.
God, Talia has trained him into a machine that obeys orders...
Chen Tao would rather fight Darkseid than deal with such a 6-year-old Uchiha Sasuke.
"Ask a question quietly, you are not thinking in your mind at this moment, 'My teammates are all burdens, but if it is my father's request, I still intend to obey', right?"
Chen Tao asked.
Damian's expression paused almost visibly, and then he said honestly: "Yes, father." Chen Tao was speechless. "This will be a very cruel training." Chen Tao told him: "It is far beyond your imagination." Yes, the Teen Titans' teammates are all very hard to deal with. "You must persevere and be patient. Never act on impulse." That's right, first learn to manage a group of teenage teammates, let them stop having fun and listen to you. Chen Tao touched his chin: "This will definitely be a long-lasting and impressive training." ... ... ... ... ... The moon is high. Talia left Batman, and her expression changed from her usual expression to a little sad.
"You are not him... My love. You are not him."
Her expression was somewhat complicated, but also somewhat relieved.
"What's interesting is that after so many years, we can finally end it."
She lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking, and then she lifted her foot and left.
There were absolutely no crystal tears on the ground.
The next day.
On the long highway, the Batmobile was speeding.
Damian sat in the co-pilot seat and saw that the main driver's seat was empty, and next to him, Chen Tao's head appeared on the right side of the steering wheel.
It was tightly attached to the panel instrument, as if it was some kind of terrifying hematoma growing from it.
Damian ignored it, and his eyes, which were trained to be cold, looked at the decoration in the car with longing.
"Father, how can I get superpowers?"
"Work hard."
"What?"
"Haha, just kidding."
Chen Tao said: "We're almost there."
Damian, who was attracted by his attention, turned his head and saw a huge T-shaped building not far from the highway.
The t here refers to the entire building, which is exactly like a huge t, which itself represents the Teen Titans, Teen Titans, or simply Titans, and represents Titans.
"Is this where I will receive training?"
Damian raised his head and looked at the building in the distance. He has made all the preparations. The six-year training has made him a tough killer, a real assassin. He has been trained by the ninja master, Lei Xiao Aogu since he was born, and at the age of 6, he has achieved what many adults have not been able to achieve.
He has made all the preparations, no matter how cruel the training is, he can stick to it.
Damian is not unaware of how many Robins his father had before him.
Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, they all accompanied his father's career.
But he knows very well that he will be the most special one.
Because he will be the most powerful, cruelest, and coldest among the many Robins.
He will become the king of Robins!
Then, inherit the name... Batman!
This is Damian Wayne, a heavy burden engraved in his bloodline!
…
…
…
Boom!
Blue Beetle fired a shot that blasted the training robot from the chest to the back, chilling it to the bone. He fluttered his wings and flew up, and then his armor transformed into a sharp knife.
