Chapter 481: Destruction of Fiji (Bat:???)

Fiji, the first place in the world to see the sunrise.

Mount Tomaniwi, 1,324 meters above sea level, is located here. It is also the highest mountain in Fiji. It is a dead volcano. At the foot of the mountain, you can see the countryside of Fiji and large tracts of sugarcane fields.

And inside the Tomaniwi volcano, in the huge cave...

A violent flashing space ripple cuts a smooth curved surface on the stone wall.

The blue light illuminates the dark cave. This cave caused by volcanic eruptions is located hundreds of meters underground in the mountains. It should not be a place where any human can stand.

Buzz!

A buzzing sound that makes people feel goosebumps sounded, and then it returned to calm.

Buzz!

A small blue space portal lit up, then quickly extinguished, and then quickly lit up again. A man's exasperated voice came from behind the portal:

"Damn it, Golden Pioneer, I told you, you can't... That will cause the timeline to break and reality to collapse..."

"Damn it, Richard, do you think I want to? If I really can..."

"Shut up! Stop talking nonsense, I beg you. Erase all the influence quickly..."

"You try to operate it!"

"Damn Golden Pioneer, you bastard!"

"...This is beyond my ability!"

"...Shut up! Focus on your work..."

As the two voices cursed at each other, the small blue portal that lit up again soon disappeared into the air again, as if it had never existed.

(Note 2: DC superhero, Time Master Richard "Rip" Hunter, is also a time traveler. This character has appeared in the CW live-action American drama "Legends of Tomorrow".)

"I know you have your own ideas, Lex."

Chen Tao lay sideways on a lounge chair high up on the yacht, with a huge parasol above his head casting a shadow on his face.

"In principle, I don't object to this, but you know very well that we need a backup plan."

He extended his index finger and tapped the armrest of the lounge chair. His eyes extended from the colorful coral reefs in the sparkling blue sea below the yacht, to the silver light shining when countless fish jumped up, and to the dead volcano standing quietly in the distance.

"I need you to help me figure out whether Night Owl has the ability to transfer all the people on Earth... and if he can't do it, has he tried hard to do it..."

If ordinary people heard this, they might just think that Batman was asking them to help him collect intelligence, but Luther on the other end of the communication immediately keenly perceived Batman's real thoughts behind the collection of these intelligence, and Batman didn't seem to intend to hide it from Luther.

"Are you considering Night Owl's plan?"

"Why not?" Chen Tao said, "The so-called plan is not a static thing. If Night Owl can really take away everyone on Earth... Have you seen the Night Owl plan I shared with you?"

Luthor heard Batman say, "It must be said that Night Owl has gone through a long period of planning, verification and preparation. As long as he can really increase the speed of his universe before the Anti-Monitor reacts, he can establish a high-speed escape track in the dark multiverse, so as to..."

He simply repeated the principle of Night Owl's plan with Luthor, and then continued:

"If he can really take away everyone on Earth and save them, this is not a bad backup plan, and it is definitely capable of being listed as an alternative.

And what's more important, do you know? This plan has a very high success rate. If my plan has a success rate of only 20%, your plan has a success rate of only 30%, and Night Owl's plan has a success rate of at least 70%."

Batman didn't say a word about what would happen to him, and Luthor's heart sank when he heard it.

"Even if Night Owl's plan succeeds, he will move all the living humans on the entire earth to his universe, and those people will only be slaves to Night Owl in the future."

Luthor said: "The plan that Night Owl first proposed was to use the Blood Lord to irreversibly transform all people into beasts. He has no mercy on ordinary people. As long as there is a goal that he thinks is noble enough, he will treat ordinary people as consumables without blinking an eye.

Although there is nothing to compare in doing bad things, I still have to say that compared to him, I am almost a saint."

"If you are gone, who do you think can control Night Owl? Batman?

You have ruined the Justice League, just as I once As I said, a sickly blue boy scout, an Amazon madwoman who knows nothing about the world and can only cut people with a sword, an underage child who masters magic, a mentally handicapped ring bearer, and a widowed middle-aged woman, do you think they can compete with someone like Night Owl?

Especially Night Owl has hundreds of millions of people who have been trained like dogs by him. Superman doesn't even kill people. Let me tell you what will happen. He will be controlled by Night Owl.

Night Owl only needs to send 300 loyal people to beat your Justice League. Those superpowers may be able to fight a monster over 300 feet, but facing 300 civilians, they will become helpless children. "

Luthor said a string, but he only heard Batman's low chuckle:

"It's okay, and you, Lex, I believe in your intelligence."

Luther took a deep breath, he wasn't sure whether he was angry or some other emotion.

He forced down the sentence "and you" that echoed repeatedly in his mind, and then continued to say in a deep voice:

"Do you want to kill yourself?"

"Is it the desire for self-sacrifice? Or damn it, is there any misanthropy? Can noble self-sacrifice make you orgasm? Make you feel moved and feel like a great person?"

He mocked: "Even a third-rate author who writes popular novels will not write a plot in which the protagonist dies, especially if he is stupid enough to commit suicide. If he did, we would generally call it an illness."

"No, no, what are you thinking about? Of course not." Chen Tao quickly shook his head and denied: "I told you, it's just a backup plan. We should be prepared no matter what time."

He told Luthor: "So that's why I need you to confirm that. I want to find out whether Night Owl can really do it or if he is just lying."

"Okay." Luther agreed immediately.

Then he paused: "There is no point in sacrificing other people's victory. Batman, this is what you told me. You will never sacrifice people in the world to maintain your victory, but... what if it is you?"

"Don't be stupid," he said.

"...Come on, you misunderstood." Chen Tao was speechless. He was simply preparing a follow-up plan.

"I'm not stupid. Of course I won't follow Night Owl's plan in full. As long as the anti-monitor can be trapped, the mission will be accomplished. I will naturally be prepared to escape. You don't need to worry about this."

He said this, and then told Luther: "And if your or my plan can succeed, then there will be no need for me to do such a dangerous thing as facing the Anti-Monitor directly, right?"

He waved his hand: "Okay, no more nonsense, let's go confirm."

"Night Owl will not be stupid enough to tell me directly, let alone trust me enough to confess to me." Luther said: "So the result I give you can only be a judgment based on the information I have."

"Yes, I know very well, and I only make decisions based on your judgment. But first you have to get me information and submit your own analysis to me."

"Um."

"Um."

Chen Tao hung up the communication and looked at the sparkling sea ahead.

Soon, Night Owl will plunge the whole world into a state of mad two-headed beasts. The heads of those beasts will be directly controlled by Chen Tao through the starfish clones of Starro, the Conqueror of the Universe, without damaging his original personality. Next, temporarily strengthen the bodies of all people.

After everything is over, Chen Tao can also use this kind of control to completely destroy those beast personalities and take back the red power of living beings that has been merged into ordinary people, so that they can transform from extraordinary creatures back to ordinary people.

As for those beastly personalities...

It can only be said that these puppet personalities he created were not human beings at the beginning, and Chen Tao had no moral burden on them at all.

What he did to the ventriloquists back then was far more serious than this, not to mention that those crazy lycanthropic personalities basically had no strict logic, but were just identical products produced purely around the stamp of thought. Just like cloned organs.

And after all, this is the best way now, isn't it?

"Master Bruce."

Chen Tao turned his head and saw Alfred standing behind him.

Although they were already in Fiji, the old housekeeper didn't look very happy. With a worried and contradictory attitude, he brought Chen Tao a new plaid shirt and a macadamia nut drink.

"Hmm...very good." Chen Tao took the drink and took a sip.

"...Master Bruce, I suggest you go to the beach now... We have prepared a party, and there will be many local tourists and people..."

Alfred rambled beside him for a while, and then concluded:

"I want you to join this party, Master Bruce, like a normal person."

"No, not for now. But I will come to participate soon."

Batman shook his head: "Now I plan to sleep for a while, just for a while."

He was really tired.

Chen Tao no longer needs to sleep. The magic of the Metal Spirit has turned him into a living incarnation of metal, and a piece of active metal does not need to sleep at all. This is one of the reasons why it can keep spinning all year round without resting. .

But he just wants to have a good sleep today. Ye Xiao can do a lot of things he asked him to do, and then like the top logistics department minister, he can help him arrange things that require his intervention, so He finally had a chance to sleep, sleeping like a lion in his cave.

He could sleep, and when he closed his eyes, he could forget everything, fall into a drowsy state, and completely forget all his troubles.

Then when he wakes up, he goes to the party again and experiences something he has never experienced since he came to this world. Well, it's all very good, very good...

He thought as he put on his sunglasses and closed his eyes.

Um……

One thing is true.

Luther was right...about death.

He was ready. Chen Tao was sure that he was ready.

If he really needed to execute Night Owl's plan, Chen Tao knew that this was a weakness, a way to have the best of both worlds, so he chose to sacrifice one person's life.

What if that person was ready to take the risk?

What if that person was determined to survive? He could be a little weak, right? Maybe he could try someone else's plan, he could slightly violate his principle of not wanting to sacrifice anyone -

Sacrificing one's own safety can't be considered a sacrifice, right?

This is indeed a weakness. If it were in the past, Chen Tao would never consider such a plan. He never doubted that he could have it all, and he never doubted that he could get a perfect ending with his own intelligence.

But this time is different, different from the past. As Night Owl said: "Anti-monitor is an enemy you have never faced."

So even if you are a little weak, you can...

Boom!

Chen Tao just thought so, and then there was a sudden loud noise, which scared him to jump up from the chair. Then he looked up in astonishment and saw that the volcano not far away suddenly exploded.

Boom!!! ! !

The hot magma made a loud rumbling sound without any warning, and then erupted directly from the crater and rushed into the sky.

Chen Tao: ? ? ? ? ?

He took off his glasses in astonishment and leaned on the edge of the yacht, suspecting that there was something wrong with his eyes.

This is a dead volcano, not an active volcano, how can it still erupt? !

Where does the magma come from? Out of thin air?

What about the laws of physics? What about geographical common sense? Damn, they don't exist?

Chen Tao was dumbfounded. He subconsciously planned to open the communication to call the Flash, and then realized that he was the only one with super speed.

"Damn it, Batman is calling the Justice League." He pressed the headset condensed by nanorobots next to his ear: "I need help."

Chen Tao almost doubted himself... Am I a disaster star or something?

Not far away, a large amount of volcanic ash was spraying down. If Chen Tao hadn't helped, it was conceivable that Fiji would soon become exactly like Pompeii. Chen Tao soon ran out of time to talk nonsense and think.

Forget it, save people first.

Wait, does this count as overtime?

Damn, my vacation!
