Chapter 484: Talia and her father-in-law are captured, and the new mission target

Inside the Owl spaceship.

After Darkseid brought Chen Tao here, he returned to his Apokolips.

Chen Tao saw Ye Xiao again. He was sitting in his seat, tilting his head and tapping his fingers on the handle of the seat.

Although Chen Tao knew that what appeared in front of him at this time could not be Ye Xiao's true body, especially the owl spaceship, which was probably not the one where Greer and Night Wing were, he still captured Ye Xiao. There was a faint sense of exhaustion in his voice.

You're exhausted, brother.

Chen Tao felt a strange feeling of seeing himself in the past.

Taking charge is definitely not an easy task... especially when you no longer have anyone to rely on.

Although Chen Tao has been making preparations to be behind at critical moments, at least for now, Ye Xiao is the one in control of the overall situation.

"I'm preparing a lot of things at the same time..."

Night Owl gave an example casually and said: "The Amozo robot developed by Lex Luthor and his former colleague Dr. Ivo is very likely to become a powerful and dangerous combat force...

The development of this kind of weapon requires a very rare material as a raw material. This raw material is abundant in a dangerous alien civilization called the Senagan Empire several galaxies away... These idiots don't believe that your universe is going to be destroyed. We have to resort to force..."

"N metal, right?" Chen Tao asked.

Night Owl was startled. He deliberately did not tell Batman clearly about the rare materials he needed. In addition to not thinking that Batman was capable of participating in this level of scientific research - Batman is not a scientist, and he even hid part of what he knew from Batman. Intelligence, trying to use this intelligence gap to suppress Batman and seize the initiative for the next dialogue, but this plan was quickly torn apart by Batman using more intelligence he had.

"You could try to find someone named Carter Hall or Catal Hall, who might call himself Hawkman, or you could try to find someone named Kendra Sanders or Ciara Sanders. Woman, she's Hawkgirl. They're related to Senagon."

But even though Chen Tao said so, even if the couple is found, the Senagang people will probably have to use force to hand over the n-metal.

Night Owl gave Batman a deep look: "I will."

He originally planned to rely on his intelligence beyond Batman to remind Batman that only he could lead everyone, but Batman showed more detailed intelligence than him, which made his plan fail.

He made a mental note of the names Batman said.

Then he changed the subject:

"And Lord Orm on Earth, I was just planning to influence him - you know, Batman, the plan to flood the Earth, forcing you to agree to help me."

"I have forgiven you a long time ago." Chen Tao said.

Night Owl: "..."

"That's not what we're talking about." He waved his hand and continued:

"I once wanted to use him, but now the plan that required his participation has been abolished. Unfortunately, as the timeline restarts, the arrangement I left with him is still faithfully executing my previous plan. Coupled with the uncontrollability of Lord Orm himself..."

"So now I have to find a way to solve the problems I left before... But fortunately, the relationship between Orm and Sea King Arthur is still harmonious. Therefore, out of the face of Sea King Arthur, Lord Orm will not attack the surface for the time being. I will give you an additional task to remove Sea King Arthur and Sea Lady Mela. Both Lord Orm and us will be greatly affected by the presence of this couple."

"You want to kill Lord Orm? No, Arthur won't agree."

"I'll use other methods. You don't need to worry about that, Batman."

"You'd better tell the truth, Night Owl. Lord Orm is Arthur's biological brother. You can do anything to him, but if you kill him, Arthur will definitely be miserable."

——When your villain is your biological brother, this kind of screw-up situation usually occurs, turning a good confrontation between a superhero and a super villain into a bloody family ethics drama.

Chen Tao continued:

"I will never let Arthur suffer, so even if you kill him, I will restart time and resurrect him, and then the agreement between us will be..."

"That's enough. If you restart the timeline again, your few remaining balances for restarting the timeline will be exhausted. How many times do you think the speed force of this world can support time backtracking? Those few precious opportunities Use it at the most critical moment instead of wasting it on this ridiculous family ethics drama!”

Ye Xiao interrupted Chen Tao's speech. Chen Tao almost felt that Ye Xiao was a little worried, but this might be his illusion.

But this has nothing to do with Chen Tao. He is not the one making the decision now. He only needs to make his own request.

Even if Ye Xiao is annoyed to death and locked up...

Well, this doesn't seem to work. If Ye Xiao doesn't do it, he will have to do it himself.

You see, this is why Chen Tao used Metal Spirit's nanorobots to infect Green Lantern Hal so that he would not object to the plan when he faced Darkseid.

People are not NPCs. Even if they have the same goal, they will have their own demands. This is the trouble in the world. Once the organization becomes large and the more people there are, the less likely it is to act completely according to the planner's ideas.

But it is precisely because of this that the power exerted by a united alliance can be so huge after using persuasion, unity, and even dirty deception and control.

Becoming a single man is never the way to save the world. Even if the fundamental purpose of Ye Xiao and Chen Tao are completely conflicting opponents, they still have room for cooperation.

However, cooperation also requires skills. Chen Tao did not have nothing to do with Ye Xiao. Although he was indeed thinking about Arthur, he was also trying to gain his right to speak from Ye Xiao.

He had to control Night Owl. He always remembered that he was the one controlling Night Owl, rather than actually becoming Night Owl's subordinate.

"I will not kill Lord Orm, but I will also make him change his mind and become one of the combat forces that help us fight against the Anti-Monitor."

Ye Xiao promised this, and then continued:

"Put this matter aside for now, I will take care of it, but now I have a task for you, Batman."

He said: "I have been following up on the matter of General Zod. When I was with you..."

"You consciously allowed General Zod to resurrect millions of Kryptonians in Argon City, and planned to use this Kryptonian army as combat soldiers against the Anti-Monitor, right?"

Chen Tao said: "I know."

Not only did I know, I also allowed all this to happen. Of course, Chen Tao would not reveal this to Superman and the others.

"Yes, I do plan to do that." Now that they have formed an alliance, Night Owl honestly told his previous plan: "I told Super Girl about the existence of General Zod, so that she could go see him. The other party, and then General Zuo De, as I expected, got the location of Agung City from Super Girl."

"Then you manipulated General Zod's escape. I guess you also introduced him to the master of the Black Black, Anton Acain. You expected them to hit it off and then automatically generate a superhuman army of more than one million people for you. "Go ahead." Chen Tao said, "This plan seems to be going well and everything goes together. Is there any problem now?"

"No, there is no big problem with the plan itself." Night Owl said: "General Zod and Anton Akanen hit it off, but my original plan was that they would be in complete agreement a few hours before the Anti-Monitor completely invaded. , and then the millions of Nemesis they cultivated will be forced to fight to the death with the Anti-Monitor not long after they were born.

Then he took a deep breath: "But they didn't know when they got mixed up in advance. General Zod has resurrected his million nemesis and is now swaying across the universe. He hates you very much, Bat." Xia, this is a dangerous thing. The cannon fodder army I plan to create is supposed to help you consume the enemy's vitality, instead of fighting you before the enemy comes and then destroying our own strength."

"I can convince General Zod."

Chen Tao said: "General Zod only cares about his Krypton, and he will do anything for that."

He shook his head and looked at Night Owl with some confusion: "If the universe is destroyed, where will General Zod's New Krypton go? Like Darkseid, Zod probably knows how to be a landless person. How ridiculous the king is.”

"No, that's not the problem. There's nothing wrong with the plan, the problem is the target." Ye Xiao sighed, and then said:

"Now a new situation has arisen, otherwise I would not have come to you. I just found out that the Lord of the Black Corruption, Anton Arcane, has defected to the Anti-Monitor."

"What……"

"Don't think that everyone in the entire universe will be of the same mind as you, Batman. Just like me, I surrendered to the Anti-Monitor in order to preserve something, but I did it to protect my own universe, and they just did it to protect my own universe. Save your own life."

Night Owl said: "The Anti-Monitor has realized my rebellion. If he hadn't been repeatedly trapped in the moment of entering this universe by your time restart method, he would have destroyed my universe by now. ”

"Although he is still unable to break away from this blockade and come to your universe again, he can still exert contact with this universe through various means. Some creatures and powerful cosmic tyrants have listened to the counter-monitoring He became his believer through the whispers of the monitors, and Anton Arcane, the master of the Black of Decay, is one of them. What's worse is that the Anti-Monitor seems to have exerted some influence on him to strengthen his power. This is even more Danger."

Night Owl said: "So now General Zod has become a cosmic traitor who betrayed this universe in order to survive on Krypton. We must stop him and recapture the millions of Kryptonian legions."

Chen Tao: "..."

"Is there anything else going on?"

"Yes." Ye Xiao said, "Maybe you will know this person."

He snapped his fingers, and soon after, a woman wearing a tight-fitting black suit that outlined her graceful figure with a sinking face appeared in front of Chen Tao.

Chen Tao looked at her and blinked his eyes twice.

"……who is it?"

"My name is Nyssa Ogu." The woman narrowed her eyes.

"As long as you have any memory of my poor sister who you have always abandoned, you should remember her name. My sister is Thalia Ogu, and my father is—— "

"Master Ninja, Lei Xiao Aogu." Chen Tao said in a deep voice.

"General Zod attacked a certain branch base of the Shadow Warrior Alliance that owns the Lazarus Pool a few days ago."

Chen Tao narrowed his eyes.

Nisha said:

"He asked to use his father's Lazarus Pool to resurrect the entire city of Agung."

"Father does not need a failed general. In fact, father has always believed that the existence of Nemesis is a waste of our planet's resources, so father rejected his conditions."

"Lei Xiaogu is very aware of the influence of Lhasa Luchi on people. Even the greatest soul will fall under the corruption of the water... General Zuo De has gone crazy." Chen Tao said.

General Zod is not a native of Earth, so he doesn't know the situation. Although Lazaruschi can resurrect others, only a strong soul can keep the resurrected person clear-headed, otherwise the resurrected person will only fall into complete madness.

In the 600 years since he was resurrected by the Fountain of Youth, the ninja master Raixiaogu himself fell into a state of madness addicted to murder many times.

General Zod's wish to use the pool to resurrect his compatriots is simply a wishful thinking. The pool will turn all of his millions of Kryptonian compatriots from self-aware corpses into violent killing machines.

At that time, there is no need to wait for the Anti-Monitor to come. Millions of Kryptonians who are killing crazily are enough to completely slaughter the entire universe. The legion and the Senagan Empire are vulnerable to such a huge number of Kryptonian legions.

Most of the people in Argon City are ordinary Kryptonians without military training. The probability of them being able to escape from the bloodthirsty shadows that are killing people is almost less than 1‰.

"Yes, that's right. Zod left the Assassin League with no choice. My father used a kryptonite knife to kill General Zod and destroyed the Lazarus Pool he wanted. But there are many other pools. If you don't find these, Chizi, General Zuo De will not give up."

"So Zod captured my father and my sister," Nyssa said.

"I need your help, Batman."
