Chapter 515: Rushing into the darkness...with blood and courage (6,400 words long chapter)

Nite Owl's universe, Earth, Nite Owl's Gotham City.

When passers-by saw a group of guys in strange clothes stopping two men in black robes, then the two men in black took off their clothes, one turned into a bald human wearing armor, and the other turned into a After looking at the man in a blue cloak with the Speedmaster uniform, the group of old Gotham men and black flags quickly ran away with a wink.

Joke, people who have experienced the devastation of night owls know what to do when. If they were just ordinary criminals dressed in strange clothes, they might still have the courage to shoot each other, but the group of villains who came to block people all wore the Night Owl badges, indicating that they served the Night Owl, and in Brother In Tan City, the worst person to mess with is Ye Xiao.

They left the middle of the road to the fighting people. Even if they escaped from a seemingly safe distance, they still scattered like birds and beasts.

In the universe of Nite Owl, superheroes, if they can call it a criminal syndicate, never care about the lives of those watching from the side when they fight super villains.

"You actually used flames to deal with me?" Luther heard Bomb Girl's voice sounding like I'm made to laugh at you: "Don't you know that I am a master at manipulating explosions, the one I am least afraid of and the one I am most familiar with in this world... It’s the flame!”

The battle broke out completely. Bomb Girl raised a large amount of dust and created a violent explosion. The explosion collided with the flame ball ejected by the man-made object, and then splashed out like water.

In the flames that filled the sky, she actually blocked the first burst of flames:

"It seems that you are obviously an inferior copy of Superman, but what you don't know is that I once fought with Superman on the streets of Metropolis for more than an hour without losing. If a fire truck hadn't driven by, Superman would have died. That’s the day!”

As soon as she said this, except for the black bison who was frozen in the ice, several other villains immediately looked at her sideways. Didn't they realize that there is such a master among us? ? ?

"And when I left the prison, the coward Superman disappeared. I couldn't find Superman to let him die, but now it's not bad to kill the inferior copy first!"

Then she pointed at Luther: "And you, die obediently..."

Although Bomb Girl was ordered not to kill Luther, it did not prevent her from talking trash about killing him.

However……

"Ho! The man-made thing next to Luthor was still ignorant at first, but when he saw Bomb Girl pointing her finger at Lex Luthor and then saying words like "you" and "death", he became furious.

"Roar!"

He opened his mouth to the point where a normal person's jaw would be completely dislocated, and then even more exaggerated flames rushed toward his opponent.

With a loud bang, Black Buffalo, who broke free from the ice block, saw the flames set off by Bomb Girl collide with the flames ejected from the mouth of the monster wearing the reverse Superman uniform, and then explode.

Before he could recover from the shock of being frozen and think about how to attack next, he saw the bomb girl flying out like a kite with broken strings, wrapped in flames. Half of his body was burned black by the monster, which was obviously an inferior copy of Superman.

The fierce flames didn't stop at all, spreading directly over half of her body. In an instant, the extreme high temperature roasted the bomb girl from a living person into a skeleton, and then in the blink of an eye, her bones were also exposed to the high temperature. Vaporize.

The flame breath as thick as a pillar did not stop for a moment, and penetrated directly through the buildings behind. The man-made thing made by Luther shook its head, and the flame pillar directly cut off several buildings, causing a huge explosion. I don't know how many people died.

Do you think everyone is Clark Kent who dare not harm civilian lives on the streets?

Luther was caught off guard amid the deafening sound of collapse and the terrified screams of countless civilians who had no time to escape.

"Damn it, man-made thing, I never told you not to make too much noise... Damn it, forget it." Luther said:

"Let's settle this quickly. This farce should end."

A few old Gothams were too slow to react and didn't have time to run. When they found that their escape route was blocked by the ruins of a building, they desperately took out their guns and pointed them at Luther to empty their magazines.

But those were blocked by Luther's energy shield. Luther didn't pay attention to the gangster citizens of Gotham City who attacked him. Although these people were still alive, to Luther... they were already dead.

When he covered the body of the homeless woman with bloody clothes, he had already sentenced everyone in the universe to death in his heart.

He had completed his own psychological compensation and moral desensitization, so he allowed the artificial thing to do what he did... He could have stopped the other party, but this was meaningless and would have led to his own decline.

Luther aimed an energy cannon at the hyena trying to pounce on his armor. In an instant, the opponent's flesh and blood was pierced by accelerated particles, as easily as a piece of tofu dissolved with vinegar.

The multi-body copied a large number of himself, and then he heard something that made his hair stand on end. The sound was the sound of flesh being crushed by something moving at high speed.

In the world of extreme speed where he couldn't react, Luther's creation appeared behind him. He waved his pale-skinned palm and slapped the back of the multiverse. The superpower who had the ability to copy his own superpower flew out like a cannonball, and his whole body exploded on a building not far away, and blood splattered all over the wall like a mosquito full of blood.

"You!"

Black Bison was still reciting the spell. He was a wizard, but...

A large lump of sticky stuff stuck to his mouth, and the next moment Luther's palm was on his chest, and then everything was over.

"Hurry, we have to go." Luther grabbed the man-made creation that was already killing people and wanted to continue attacking the onlookers: "We will be attacked by a truly dangerous character soon. The level of Ms. Styx is completely different from this group..."

Puff!

Luther lowered his head in a daze.

He saw a steel bar break through his armor energy shield and pierce into his chest violently - how could a mere steel bar... Maybe some blue-purple energy eroded his shield and armor, using these as a cover to insert the steel bar into his body.

And his armor also automatically counterattacked the moment he detected his injury, and the "person" who secretly used the steel bar to attack Luther disappeared.

But that was not a living human or any creature... It was a humanoid condensed by dark matter driven by Ms. Styx.

Damn, Ms. Styx didn't not arrive, but arrived a long time ago. She had been hiding in the dark, and at this moment launched a fatal attack.

And beside him, the artificial creature also held its head and screamed. Ms. Styx's dark matter invaded his head, intending to use dark matter to control his body.

In the comics, during the "Infinite Crisis" period, Ms. Styx even used such a move. He had controlled Animal Man, so that the other party had to let Starfire kill him. This kind of dark matter erosion is different from mind control. At this time, Luthor's creation also wailed.

"No, I have deconstructed your dark matter. I just want..." Luthor grabbed the steel bar, which blocked his wound and prevented him from bleeding heavily. Fortunately, the energy shield of his armor was strong enough, and he still had a chance.

The Mother Box appeared in his palm. Batman taught Luthor Brainiac's shrinking ray to hide these key props. But Luthor did not simply use it as a tool to open the sonic boom channel. He connected the Mother Box to his armor, and the next moment the alien computer was completely integrated into his armor.

Luthor put one hand on the shoulder of the artifact. The function of the Mother Box to regulate particles instantly disintegrated the attack of Ms. Styx on the artifact using dark matter.

With the opening of the sonic boom channel and a dazzling loud noise, Luthor and the artifact disappeared on the spot.

Ms. Styx slowly walked out of her hiding place. She has indigo skin, is about 1.7 meters tall, has a pair of eyes without whites, and is as dark as the night sky, with a faint yellow glow. There is another pair of eyes at the position of the eyebrows, but it is slightly smaller than the main eyes.

"Run away..." She frowned slightly: "I should be able to track their location... But what good does it do me?"

Will it make Night Owl stronger after getting Lex Luthor? For Ms. Styx, although Night Owl and their group of cosmic overlords are still in the honeymoon period, she has already thought about the future struggle for cosmic hegemony. Night Owl's ability and plan make her quite afraid. She will certainly not let Night Owl become more powerful. For Luthor, either surrender to her or be killed by her. From the beginning, there is no option of really capturing him alive and giving him to Night Owl.

So she attacked just now, intending to kill him directly, but she didn't expect Luther to be the weak scientist she imagined. Since she didn't kill him with one strike, then...

"I'm here, Styx." Ms. Styx turned her head and saw a pink alien flying over from the portal that opened not far away. He was muscular and had only one eye on his forehead.

He was the nemesis of Martian Manhunter, Despair. His ability was almost a replica of Martian Manhunter. In addition to super strength and speed, he also had telepathy that was only slightly weaker than Martian Manhunter.

When Ms. Styx faced the opponent, she immediately used dark matter to protect her brain.

"Where is Night Owl's target?" Ms. Styx heard Despair ask: "Can you track where they fled to?"

Of course, Ms. Styx denied it flatly: "I can't. This target called Luther is stronger than we thought. He escaped. We must search the surrounding area in a carpet-like manner..."

While deceiving Despair, Ms. Styx thought silently in her heart.

"Run away, run away... my toy."

"Just let you dig a mouse hole on this planet and think you are at ease..."

"When things are done, I will come and catch you back."

"You little mouse, you are harmless to the overall situation."

...

...

...

"Huff huff huff huff..."

I have to admit that an hour ago, I thought about giving up.

I was severely injured by Lady Styx, which greatly affected my original plan to rescue Nightwing and others and then steal the heart of the planet together.

And I gradually realized a fact that I had been deliberately ignoring: Even if I succeeded in stealing the heart of the planet, I would not be able to bring it back to our universe. The two universes are thousands of miles apart, and Night Owl has activated his entire system and is gradually accelerating the entire universe.

The longer the time drags on, the faster the entire universe is accelerated. Night Owl is creating a deviation, pushing his universe into a faster track in the dark multiverse, enough to throw off the anti-monitor.

Not to mention that I have no ability to travel in the vast multiverse without leaving a single universe. Even if I do, rashly leaving the increasingly fast single universe will make me shattered like an ordinary person jumping off a train.

Even if I snatch the heart of the planet, I don't have the ability to take it away.

Therefore, the only way is to find a way to reproduce my original plan through coercion, but this means that I need to face Lady Styx again, and even face a large number of universe-level overlords besides her at the same time. This is not escaping from their hands, but defeating them all.

I really want to say that I can, but the fact is that even I can't do this.

I can completely change my plan. If I surrender to Night Owl, I will just become a caged bird in his captivity, but if I surrender to the group of universe overlords, I will be able to form alliances and establish a force that can compete with Night Owl after this universe completely escapes the Anti-Monitor. I have a lot of plans and future development directions to plan... But what's the point?

Some problems are really difficult, but I never give up.

My name is Lex Luthor.

This name has many meanings to others. They call me a scientific genius. Although Superman's clone is so inferior, he still shows my personal talent.

They call me a greedy shark and a leader, but no matter how others define me, it can't stop me.

I am patient.

Patiently waiting for the enemy to bleed into a river...

That moment.

"Cough cough cough..."

In the sewer.

Luthor has taken off his armor. He used the green armor to shoot a laser to disinfect the area where he sat on a large scale.

Then he carefully tore off the shirt stuck on his wound. The shirt soaked in blood made him gasp and sweat broke out on his head.

He also released a small group of nanorobots from his armor, which had a big hole in it. They quickly gnawed off the half steel bar that was still inserted in his body around the wound. Then the nanorobots took over Luther's nervous system and helped him perform a minimally invasive surgery. With a clang, the blood-stained steel bar was thrown to the ground.

The nanorobots helped him stop the bleeding, and then they returned to the armor and began to repair the hole in the armor itself.

"They didn't come to Nightwing's cell to block me..." Luther said hoarsely. Ms. Styx's attack injured his alveoli. Even with the healing of the nanorobots, he would not be able to be fine so quickly. After all, he was an ordinary person, not a superhuman who had been enhanced by serum.

After a while...

"Let's go." Luther said, "Follow this sewer pipe for another kilometer, and we will appear directly below the warehouse closest to Nightwing's cell, and then we will find a way to enter Nightwing's cell from there. I have rehearsed the plan to rescue Nightwing many times, and the success rate of this matter is very high."

As he walked away, he silently thought about Ms. Styx in his mind. When she didn't come to chase him, he guessed what Ms. Styx was thinking in an instant, and wondered how much benefit this attitude could bring him, but even so, the success rate of the plan was still very low.

He was upset and walked towards the depths of the sewer, but then he saw the stupid android he created standing in the light with his head down, refusing to move towards the dark cave.

"Artificial creature, move forward!"

"Experimental subject B0, I order you to move forward."

Without any response, Luther took a deep breath and controlled his almost furious emotions. Impotent rage has never been his style.

"Listen to me, kid." He said, "There is nothing to be afraid of. I don't care whether you stay or go."

"Roar, roar, roar..." The artificial creature looked at him in confusion. The red eyeballs under the lifeless whites, combined with the pale and uneven skin, looked a little scary.

Luther gently stroked his creation, then turned his head to look at the darkness.

"When I was about your age, I was not afraid of the dark, but there was something else that stopped me from moving forward."

He seemed a little melancholy:

"Ahhh..."

"When my sister got sick, I was just 17 years old. At that time, no one could do anything about her illness, only me. I was self-righteous and thought I could save her life... but I gave up."

Luther said: "I was afraid of failure, I was afraid of losing the only person in my life who meant a lot to me, so... I didn't face the unknown challenges, I chose to give up."

Luther's expression moved, and he showed a bit of confusion: "She... she didn't make it through that year. Since then, I have never let the fear of failure stop me from moving forward."

Luther finished speaking, but the artifact remained motionless. He was a little depressed and shook his head violently: "Oh, what's the use of telling you this? You are just a defective product, a monster without IQ."

So Luther took a deep breath again, and he abandoned the man-made object that was standing in front of the darkness. He turned his back to the other party, faced the darkness, and determined to step into it alone.

No matter what, she...

But then, he felt someone put a hand on his shoulder. He turned his head and saw the man-made object that he judged as a defective product word by word, making a somewhat unskilled voice:

"Bizzaro... don't give up."

(Note: Bizarro has a similar pronunciation to B-0 Experimental Subject Bzero in English. This is also the origin of the name of DC super villain "Superman" Bizarro and the origin of his story.)

"Let's go." Luther said: "We have to hurry up. Our friend Ms. Styx will deliberately stumble Night Owl secretly because she doesn't want me to fall into the hands of Night Owl, but he can't delay Night Owl's attention is too long, and once he finds out what we want to do, everything will fall apart. "

Soon after.

With a bang, Lex Luthor and Bizarro broke through the floor and found themselves behind the stables of Wayne Manor.

very good.

I've hacked into this place... The surveillance installed by Night Owl here can't do anything to us. All this is thanks to my preparation in advance and Ms. Styx’s deliberate help...

Luther thought as he quietly climbed out of the stable with Bizarro. Two horses were stunned when they saw two large living people. Before they could neigh, they were bitten on the neck by Bizaluo and died.

He has an energy shield, so it's actually better, but Bizarro's body was covered with horse dung, but fortunately, Superman didn't care about it, and even grabbed a bite of the horse dung.

vomit!

He immediately spat out the secret burger and followed Luther.

"The surveillance here can't even see us..." Luther was silent as he controlled the computer through the armor, trembling with fear every step he took.

He felt a little uneasy in his heart. Although he was well prepared, would things really develop for the better so easily? It seems that Night Owl doesn't pay much attention to Nightwing's defense. This shouldn't be a problem, right?

He even vaguely had a terrifying thought, what if he just walked into Nightwing's room and found that Nightwing and all the overlords of the universe were waiting for him there, or what if he just entered the room and found the entire prison... The cage closes, and Night Owl's voice comes out to tell him that he's been waiting for Lex Luthor to throw himself into the trap.

Troubling thoughts filled Luther's mind, but he had none at this time. There are other options to choose from, and there is no time to make other plans.

As they turned around the stables, walked along the tree-lined paths, passed through the cemetery, and approached the Wayne mansion, Luther left Bizarro where he was. Then he gave the order: "Wait for me here. I will call you when I need you, and you will rush over to save me. Do you understand?"

"Ho ho~" Luther understood what the other party said. He knew that the other party didn't want to wait here, but he still gave Bizarro the order forcefully.

Then he paused and added another order: "If I find that the enemy is too strong, I will give you another order. You must leave here immediately and find a place to hide until I call you again. Can you understand?"

Luther himself knows very well that if he really encounters such a situation, it means that he finds that the enemy is irreversible. Will he really surrender by then to survive?

Luther didn't know, and he wasn't going to think about it.

Under Bizarro's farewell, Luther finally stepped into the door of Wayne Mansion, which was empty. After passing through countless monitors, he followed the closet, hacked into the elevator at the back, and arrived at the Owl Cave. The most primitive Owl Cave was at the same location as the most primitive Bat Cave in their universe.

After a period of searching, he actually found a transparent cell on the lower level of the Owl Cave, and Nightwing himself was indeed imprisoned inside.

There are no Night Owls, no traps, and no other legions of cosmic overlords.

Luther was overjoyed. He rushed to the cage and released Nightwing. He immediately grabbed his hand without even having time to say hello and asked, "Batman left a dose of the laughing virus in your spine. On the surface, it actually has Some are left in the spine to stimulate, and another bottle is hidden using Brainiac's shrinking light. I need to give you the hidden laughter virus..."

That is the core prop of Luthor's plan. As long as he gets the potion left by Batman, he will have the chance to infect Night Owl. Only Night Owl himself can control the system in front of him...

Luther was still thinking about his plan, but the next moment, Nightwing's words made him feel like he was falling into an ice cave:

"It's gone, it's all gone. Luther, Nite Owl found all the Joker virus hidden in my cervical spine, and he took them all away..."

"Not a drop is left."
