Chapter 10: Pillars of Creation

　　It was as if he saw a torrent of steel.

　　The huge robot stood silently and solemnly, and Bruce Wayne's pupils contracted for a moment. That was the instinctive fear of humans when faced with something beyond common sense. In front of such a magnificent building, humans were as small as ants.

　　But it is the ants that build the giant, and it is the tiny human beings that can create such a great achievement.

　　Batman suddenly felt his hair stand on end and his danger radar went off. Regardless of whether the people of Beloberg really wanted to retaliate against the United States, at least they did have the ability to do so, and they really had guns in their hands.

　　It is hard to imagine, in those dark and desperate days, what kind of crazy leader would choose to build such a large robot, and what kind of crazy people would choose to follow this leader. Their original intention may have been just to break out of the wind and snow, but the current situation will only make those who are interested feel uncomfortable and unable to sleep all night.

　　"Let me introduce it. This is a robot that was modified by the first Great Guardian, Lady Arisa Rand, based on the prototype built before the snowstorm. It was originally intended to resist the snowstorm and protect Beloberg, but it was too difficult, so it was shelved until today."

　　Sambo pointed at the Pillar of Creation with great interest, speaking with great seriousness and pride, as if he were really a native of Beloberg, and had gazed at this creation in the wind and snow for half a century with barely perceptible fantasies in his heart.

　　"This is really... too crazy." Bruce Wayne muttered to himself, his hands shaking, trying his best to show his fear and loss of composure, while hiding his true fear. Now he began to suspect that Beloberg was going to rule the world.

　　"The snowstorm in Beloberg will stop now, but the ground eroded by ice and snow cannot return to its previous state. Klipper Palace predicts that this situation will continue for a long time. Therefore, in order to complete the construction of the railway and airport as soon as possible, the Great Guardian has chosen to restart the Pillar of Creation project."

　　Oleg walked out from the side and made an official introduction in the name of the leader of the Earth Fire. His gray beard was covered with snow and water. He participated in the construction of the project in the wind and snow. He stood here, watching over those who did not see the sunrise.

　　"Such a big thing... can it really move?" Bruce asked. After all, this thing looked too crazy. He really wanted to know what kind of core could drive such a huge thing. Could it be the legendary star core?

　　No, it doesn't look like a star core, Batman silently refuted this speculation in his heart. According to the clues provided by Robin, the energy of the star core will affect the human body, turning a warrior who is not afraid of death into an unconscious monster, and even affect the real world, making the past scenes appear like ghosts.

　　If the Great Guardian really cared about the people of Beloberg as much as she appeared to, then she would not have allowed them to work near the star core. So where is the real star core, and why did the red-dressed girl Clara give an answer that misled Luca?

　　Batman was stunned when he thought of this. Did she really not doubt Luca's identity at that time? Bruce remembered the flyers that he had treated as waste paper. They introduced Clara's daily work. In addition to maintaining order in the Rangers Base, the most important thing was that she was the most capable mechanical repairer in the entire mechanical tribe.

　　Obviously, Batman's crudely made mechanical arm did not fool Clara's eyes, and her act of misleading the fake Luca was obviously a trick. She probably didn't expect that it would be Hook who discovered him in the end, but she still achieved her goal by accident.

　　In response to Bruce's question, Sambo just smiled in an ambiguous way. Can we move? The former Great Guardian Cocolia knew it too well.

　　"It will move one day. Even if I can't see it, my descendants will see it. My descendants' descendants will live in a world without cold ice and snow, and the people of Yalilo will usher in a real spring. Then, we will celebrate the Warm Sun Festival together." Oleg said slowly, just like the common hope of the people who held on to Beloberg in those hopeless days.

　　Although Batman's paranoia and persecution mania are going crazy, and he wants to make a table of everything he sees, he can only push a cart and pour water everywhere. Players let this capitalist master experience what it means to serve the people.

　　The water poured by Master Wayne himself is really great!

　　Now that Batman and the Joker are both in the hands of the players, there is only one player left outside the field: Robin Tim.

　　To be honest, players still admire this third-generation Robin, but only during his complete Red Robin period. Now Tim Drake is just an intern and has not yet suffered the beatings from his second and fourth brothers. His eyes are still relatively clear and ignorant, and he does not understand the true dangers of this damn world.

　　Outside the suburbs of Beloberg, Ling Ke stood high on the hillside and looked at the distant sky with a telescope. The boundary between Beloberg and the United States territory was very obvious. The white ice and snow drew a clear dividing line here, dividing the integrated earth into two worlds: inside and outside.

　　She stood there for a long time, the full effect of the wind and snow immunity potion showing, like an eternal statue, until a tiny black dot emerged from the outside of the world and came closer and closer.

　　Tim Drake, the ruthless man who dared to stalk and photograph Batman at night in Gotham when he was only a few years old, the world's second best detective who deduced Batman's identity by his own efforts, the madman who dared to recommend himself after knowing that the second Robin had died, and now he is back driving the Batmobile.

　　From this we can conclude that Tim Drake is a stubborn person.

　　Meanwhile, inside the Batmobile.

　　"Hello, Tim, it's me, Nightwing Dick." A young voice came from the car communicator, with a hint of fatigue of a corporate animal.

　　"It shows here that you have logged into my Batmobile. Can you tell me what you did?" The Bat family's control freak is hereditary.

　　Tim in the car just pursed his lips with an unpleasant expression: "He kicked me out of the case. That was the clue I found."

　　The young voice paused, obviously empathizing: "I've had the same feelings as you, Tim. Jason and I have both been excluded by him. We thought he was authoritarian and dictatorial, but in the end he always proved himself right."

　　"So you're here to persuade me to go back?"

　　The younger voice was surprised: "No, of course not."

　　Dick even chuckled: "Tim, you dared to come to me and him directly, just because Batman can't be without Robin. Now you are just repeating what you did before."

　　Tim's tense nerves relaxed and he felt better: "So what do you mean?"

　　Dick: "I hope you can protect yourself. I have already lost a brother and I don't want to lose a second one."

　　Nightwing hung up the phone after saying this. Apparently they were all thinking of the same person. Jason's death brought indelible scars to the family, and also made the young and energetic Nightwing who was flying alone truly take on the responsibility of being the eldest brother.

　　At the same time, Jason said: "A-choo, who scolded me?"

　　Li Dazhentou, who was dozing off with his textbook in hand, was startled and his nose bubble burst: "Ah? Who? Where did the teacher leave it?"

　　"Li Suchang! Jason Todd! Both of you get out!" the gentleman was furious.

　　After the call ended and Tim unknowingly tricked his second brother, he continued driving. His target was not the Beloberg Administrative District, nor the giant robot with a distinct shape. In order not to be chased back by Batman again, he chose the Iron Guard restricted area that he had set foot in before.

　　Hoping not to be discovered, Tim prayed, and after properly placing the Batmobile, the cat hid stealthily in the corner.

　　"Little Jiejie~" Today's restricted area was a little unusual. A rock-style girl with gradient-colored hair stood at the entrance of the restricted area and called the garrison officer. Her tone was intimate but mean. Looking at her appearance, it was not difficult to guess that she and Jeppard were related by blood.

　　"Sister, don't call me that." Jeppard's tone sounded helpless and a little shy.

　　"Oh, little Jiejie, please let your sister go in and take a look, just one look. That is your sister's lifelong wish, please~" Jeppard's sister begged, and even used her ultimate move of acting coquettishly like a sister.

　　But how could the brother who had been his sister's servant for twenty years be fooled by such a little trick? "I'm sorry, sister, but without the order of Lady Bronya, no one can step into the Iron Guard restricted area."

　　The loyal garrison officer rejected his sister's request, and Shiluwa had no other choice but to walk away angrily.

　　Robin, who is alone and helpless, soon realizes that this is a potential teammate, but he is not sure whether this person can be trusted. In the absence of complete intelligence, he would rather be a lone hero.

　　"Maybe I know who to look for." Tim said to himself. He thought of the first night he broke into the restricted area alone and was finally rescued by a girl named Lingke. The weapon in her hand could effectively strike those monsters.

　　According to the clues revealed by Jeppard, Lingke is his sister, the youngest daughter of the Landau family. As a member of the city builder family of Beloberg, she should know a lot of information. And this Lingke is obviously a snow explorer. She said she wanted to go back to the tent last night, and today has not passed yet. There is a high probability that she is still on the snowfield.

　　The question is, how can he find people in the vast snow-capped mountains?

　　While thinking, Tim saw Jeppard's sister again. After learning that she could not enter the Iron Guard restricted area, she walked into the suburbs alone with her guitar case. Whether out of concern for the lone woman or consideration for her identity, Tim chose to follow her.

　　After another request to no avail, Sylva knew that it was not Jeppard's fault. It was just that the previous Great Guardian Cocolia died in a hurry. Although she knew Bronya's character very well and Cocolia died to relieve the snowstorm in Beloberg, she still wanted to see with her own eyes the place where she died. So she wanted to find Lingke and ask her where she could overlook the entire Beloberg. But before that -

　　"Boy, you've been following me for so long, isn't it time to come out?"
