Chapter 527: Good is not absolute enough, and bad is not thorough enough
"Tell me, Night Owl."
Night Owl heard the Joker ask: "How does it feel to be treated as a victim?"
"I can't...I can't fall down here."
Little Thomas Wayne may be able to feel frustrated or have negative emotions, but Night Owl cannot. Like a sophisticated instrument, he should respond immediately after discovering an unexpected situation.
So even though Thomas Wayne Jr. was wailing in despair at this moment, Night Owl immediately took action.
He ran away as soon as he saw Batman and the Anti-Monitor joining forces.
Luther thought he had modified his propulsion tower, but Night Owl had always ensured that he had the ability to block this displacement reaction at critical moments as easily as adding a hidden switch to a simple circuit.
The shielding network he prepared was supposed to block any travel between the two universes, so that Batman couldn't get through and interfere with him. Luther's preparations could also be cut off, and he could sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, but now with the When Batman and the Anti-Monitor joined forces, the two men, like an iron cone, pierced the protective net he had woven between the two universes using Starro, and appeared directly in his world.
"But it's not over yet." Ye Xiao hypnotized himself: "I still have the power to fight back."
He quickly made a new plan for himself: "The replacement between universes cannot start so soon, especially when the preparations made by Lex Luthor do not really take effect, or only take part of them."
"As long as I can seize the time to expel the Anti-Monitor and Batman from my universe in a short period of time so that they can't take away my propulsion tower system, I can confront Batman at such a close distance without any scruples. The universe launches a speed force storm..."
(Note: Chapter 495 mentioned that Night Owl's original plan was for him to launch the Speed Force Storm against Batman's universe, but he gave up after being threatened by Batman, but he still retained this ability.)
"No matter what terms Batman and the Anti-Monitor reach, his universe will always be a weakness that Batman can't give up. Once he plans to go back and save his own universe, he will inevitably have differences with the Anti-Monitor. In this way, they will have no time to take care of it. I."
It has to be said that the plan that Ye Xiao came up with in a short period of time, which is similar to besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao, is feasible, because in essence, this is not a slap on the head, but based on the rational use of existing resources.
But there is a premise for all this.
Stop Batman and the Anti-Monitor from capturing his propulsion tower system.
Therefore, he has to...
"I told you, you're done, Night Owl. It's time for retribution."
He heard the clown, the phantom he imagined, chirping and taunting him.
"Those damn plans of yours are so screwed up, useless and boring."
He heard the Joker say, "If you had made up your mind to sacrifice Batman's world early in your plan, you wouldn't have wasted your time with Lord Orm and the Lord of Blood."
(Note: In the early days, before Night Owl killed Metron, sat on the Mobius Chair, and completely determined that the Anti-Monitor could not be fought, he tried to join forces with Batman to fight against the Anti-Monitor instead of sacrificing each other. The Joker mocking this.)
Night Owl knows that it is impossible to escape Batman and the Anti-Monitor with his own speed. One of them can transform into a form that can use the speed force, and the other is a creature that can be called a god.
Even if Night Owl is wearing power armor, he can't match the speed of these two.
But thankfully, when Batman and the Anti-Monitor stepped out of the portal, they were in a fragile space and could not move immediately, so they gave Night Owl a very short reaction time.
He immediately mobilized a large amount of magical energy belonging to the heart of the planet through remote control. Through the unlucky Greer - after losing the group of cosmic overlords to help her share and channel the energy, Greer was already overwhelmed, but Nite Owl did not Pay attention to these.
He poured all the guided magical energy into Nataza's body, and then used the other party to cast irony magic.
(Note: The parallel universe peer of Zatanna, the master of irony magic, was mentioned in Chapter 505. Night Owl uses Nataza to regulate energy, but in the conversation with Luther in Chapter 508, it was confirmed that this is only an auxiliary method)
The powerful irony magic briefly blocked the time for the Anti-Monitor and Batman to act - at the expense of Nataza who suffered tons of magical backlash and almost died suddenly.
Night Owl opened the portal, gasping and fell on the floor of the safe house. This place would not be discovered by Batman and the Anti-Monitor for the time being, at least for a little while.
He felt his heart beating wildly and his blood rushing to his brain, driven by fear.
He raised his head and saw the Joker appearing in front of him in the position of a royal concubine lying down.
"Hey, Thomas. Have you ever thought about it. If you had made your goal clear from the beginning, treated Batman completely coldly, and weaved him into your shadow step by step, with the advantages of intelligence and advance preparation, now You've already escaped leisurely and watched the life-and-death fight between Batman and the Anti-Monitor, hee hee!" said the Joker.
Night Owl glared at the other party.
"Oh, dear, don't look at me like that. I am a reflection of your heart. You and I are one and the same! I am a figment of your imagination, remember? This is your inner voice, wow, in my image. It’s so romantic to say it out loud.”
Night Owl had no time to waste. He didn't answer the Joker at all. He stumbled to the operating table of the safe house and used the backdoor he left in the system. After skipping a series of complicated identity authentication links, Night Owl activated his new folder.
The Joker kept chattering beside him. He was as crazy as before, and then continued: "Or, you are kind to the end, and you completely reveal your true feelings to Batman. The two of you brothers will join forces, fucking double swords, and fight against the Anti-Monitor together. You promise never to give up anyone, and you will be so excited!"
He shrugged and continued:
"Well, then it sounds like this is an old-fashioned but awesome heroic epic. You are likely to be beaten like dogs on the ground in the final battle, but guess what, you win in the end!"
"This looks like a good ending."
"Warning, the emergency confrontation plan has been launched."
Night Owl turned a deaf ear to the Joker's words. He was concentrating on staring at the screen.
He was just in one of the propulsion towers, trying to block the two universes by creating a shielding network.
When Batman and the Anti-Monitor broke through the shield and came to this universe, they were guided by the shield network, just like there was a hole at the bottom of a huge trampoline, and naturally fell to the lower position through this hole.
In other words, the Anti-Monitor and Batman are not on the earth of the Night Owl universe now, but on a propulsion tower placed in other universe sectors that can be used as an attack target.
Night Owl took a deep breath.
He looked around and found that the Joker had disappeared beside him without knowing when...
Well, he was lucky.
"Starting... Emergency Countermeasure Plan: A"
The text flashed rapidly on his screen:
"The Galaxy Puppet is originally a war weapon with self-awareness. It is huge, even close to the size of the Milky Way. Most of the time, it uses its own energy to condense into a smaller clone to communicate with creatures that are much smaller than it."
"But he still has weaknesses. There is a micro planet embedded in his forehead, which is only 1/10 the size of a normal planet. That is his control core, central nervous system, and his only weakness.
Based on the transformation of the Galaxy Puppet in secret, we can control his actions through that micro planet. When necessary, he will be a fatal blow."
This is the log that Night Owl wrote for this plan to prevent others he trusts from being able to complete it well if he is not the one to launch this plan.
This plan was originally intended to target the many back-ups left by Night Owl when those universe overlords gathered together to oppose him, Night Owl, after escaping from this universe.
And now, although the Galaxy Puppet has been drained, it has reduced the difficulty of his control.
Then use the propulsion tower system to inject a large amount of planetary heart energy into the body of the Galaxy Puppet...
"I just need to drive them out as soon as possible for a while." Night Owl gritted his teeth. In the wide angle on the screen, the huge planet giant that was almost shocking was roaring to the sky, and countless small planets were smashed by him in the universe.
A battle puppet as big as the galaxy, this is the origin of the name "Galaxy Puppet".
"Do you really think you can fight the Anti-Monitor with this thing? Come on, you know from the bottom of your heart that this thing is completely nonsense. It is useless except for comforting you now."
The voice of the Joker sounded again, clearer than any time Thomas heard before.
"Tell me, Night Owl. My friend, my plaything, how long are you going to struggle?"
Night Owl did not speak. He stared at the screen intently, and then saw the Galaxy Puppet controlled by him on the screen, waving his fist, which was bigger than the planet, towards the Anti-Monitor and Batman.
A large number of innocent planets were destroyed in this galactic attack. Night Owl felt dry in his mouth. The opponent's powerful force gave him a little illusion.
He looked at another screen showing the current status of Batman and Anti-Monitor. At this moment, Batman had transformed into a state with wings on his ribs, looking like a dragon covered in human skin.
You see, Batman seemed to be using some power.
This gave Night Owl some illusions, making him really think that he could...
The next moment, the screen went black, and another picture was quickly transferred to the main screen, followed by a mechanical prompt:
"The plan failed, the Galaxy Puppet is dead. The Galaxy Puppet has been destroyed head-on."
A huge sense of suffocation grabbed Night Owl's heart.
He felt breathless.
He felt as if he was handcuffed and fell to the ground, and Batman was pressing his knee on his neck.
He couldn't breathe.
"Starting: Emergency Countermeasure Plan B"
A large number of Yamozhu robots were released by the program pre-controlled by Night Owl. Each of them has the same combat power as an ordinary Green Lantern, except that they have no emotions. This is the only drawback.
The human wave tactics, when facing the Anti-Monitor and Batman...
It is useless.
He looked at the robots floating in the universe that survived the attack of the Anti-Monitor.
Dr. Ivo put all his efforts into his creations, but he may not have known that these things were under the surveillance of the shameless plagiarist Night Owl, and that he had also made them into mass-produced models.
Dr. Ivo has always felt that he is an important ally of Night Owl with the Yamo Zhuo robot, but in fact he is only a researcher.
"Warning, starting: Emergency Countermeasure Plan C."
"Bombardment of magical energy infused into the heart of the planet. Warning, doing so is likely to cause irreversible damage to your universe. Are you sure..."
Night Owl confirmed it quickly, but he also guessed that such an attack would be no different than scratching an itch for opponents at the level of Batman and the Anti-Monitor.
At this time, he should have continued to come up with some plans until he could temporarily push the two enemies away from his own universe as he imagined.
However……
"I told you, Thomas."
The owl computer in front of Night Owl automatically activated emergency plan D.
But Ye Xiao knows very well in his heart that each of these plans is weaker than the last. If the previous Galaxy Puppet can't do anything, then there is no need to talk about these little things.
"Before this, you had a chance to choose. As long as you chose any of the two options, you and your universe would not be in this situation today."
Night Owl heard the Joker say: "But you can't want both, Thomas. Traitors and warriors are completely different species, and you can never be compatible with both."
"So why are you hesitant? Why did you want to join forces with Batman in the first place?"
Ye Xiao sat on the chair blankly. He knew very well that the plan he prepared could not affect those two people, but he had no other plans.
He was like a robot that had lost its set goal, sitting blankly on the chair.
Then……
Everything around him began to disappear, and the safe house was also part of a propulsion tower system.
If Batman is determined to empty his universe, then everything in this safe house that is involved in the propulsion tower system will also be taken away.
So Night Owl... can only moan now.
He fell to the ground helplessly, as desperate as a wounded beast.
He still wanted to be able to do something under hypnosis, but he could no longer do it.
"No matter which direction you choose, it is correct, but you chose nothing." Night Owl heard the Joker squat down and whisper softly in his ear:
"You're not good enough, but you're not bad enough..."
The Joker lowered his head and sighed softly:
"You...you."
"That's why it's so painful."
