Volume 2 Honoring Robin Chapter 45 What does it mean to eat both ends?
"Bang Bang"
The sound of sharp bullets was whizzing through the Arkham Asylum building that was about to become a ruin. A group of bastards in prison uniforms were howling and throwing homemade Molotov cocktails into the passage in front of them to prevent the black-clad ninjas from rushing in.
Ten minutes ago, they were still in the same group.
But now they are against each other and want to crush each other to death.
The reason is probably that the Assassin's League put forward an additional "condition" before handing over Gotham to the villains to rule.
They demanded that all the villains in Arkham and even those in Gotham gathered there "pledge their loyalty" to the League of Assassins by implanting micro-bombs.
This immediately hit the villains' bottom line.
If they were ignorant villains from other places, it would be fine, but you bastards, don't you look at where you are! This is Gotham, and the third-tier villains here would be big bosses in other places.
It's ignorant to bully us, right?
Isn't this the damn method Amanda Waller used to control the Suicide Squad and mass-produce cannon fodder?
Good job you guys!
I originally thought that everyone was cooperating on an equal footing, and everyone wanted to work hard to put an end to Batman's "reign of terror" in Gotham, but I didn't expect that in the end I would still have to be a super cannon fodder.
Who the hell would want to do this?
So, under the leadership of the angry rising villain "Kite Man", the entire Arkham fell into chaos.
The Assassin's League obviously underestimated the wonderful "ecological backlash" that would occur when a group of super villains gathered together and were instigated and led by someone.
In short, at the beginning of the internal conflict, the well-trained warriors were beaten back by a group of chaotic lunatics.
Especially after the patients in Arkham were led by the extremely brave "Kite Man" to smash open the patient collection room of Arkham Asylum, this group of psychopaths who got their equipment back immediately "upgraded their muskets to cannons".
"Burn you to death! Hahahaha!"
Gotham's famous arsonist, Killer Moth, held the flamethrower high in both hands, flew into the third floor screaming madly, and sprayed high-temperature flames to burn the black warrior in front of him.
"Go! My Alice! Go ahead and kill them!"
In the chaos, the Mad Hatter in a green top hat also hid in a corner holding his funny cane.
He laughed happily and used his evil brain wave controller to control several cowardly patients, and asked them to tie bombs to their bodies and rush to the Assassin's League to detonate them.
Amid the screams, no one knew who opened the door of a ward that must not be opened.
Then a glowing skeleton with dark green phosphorescent fire burning all over its body rushed out with a wild laugh, and detonated its own radiation power right on the spot, burning more than a dozen people to death on the spot. The madman was still laughing among a pile of burning corpses.
"Ding"
A makeshift coin flew into the air and was caught by a severely burned hand.
The two-faced man looked down, curled his lips, and threw the countdown bomb in his hand to the left. Coincidentally, a team of human-bat warriors broke the window and flew in from there.
With a loud bang, several human-bat warriors were blown to pieces on the spot.
The madman wearing a pig-face mask swooped down from a high place wielding two boning knives and smashed into the remaining human-bats, hacking them wildly like a butcher.
This crazy and extremely cruel scene brought Arkham's "carnival" to its climax, and the "Kite Man" who led the prisoners to fight back knocked down several black warriors to the ground with two stolen batons.
The two-faced man next to him whistled when he saw this scene.
This big boss who holds a "certain status" in the Gotham gang world showed a terrifying expression of admiration on his unique two-sided face. He said:
“Charles, your performance tonight proves that you are definitely not the third-tier minor character that the outside world has rumored. In fact, I have always felt that the Joker’s evaluation of you is biased.
I think you're a rising star in Gotham's criminal world!
How about this, when we get out, I can give you a prominent position in my gang."
Although Two-Face was still wearing prisoner clothes, he already had the aura of a big boss. His eyes on his creepy face turned and stared at the Kite Man who dropped the bloody baton and said:
"I need outstanding talents like you! Together we can build a great kingdom in this chaotic Gotham, and keep working hard to become bigger and stronger!
Poor Batboy has been destroyed by the League of Assassins. Look what a mess it is here, and he hasn't even shown up!
Tsk, that troublesome guy might be dead.
This is a great time for you aspiring young people to rise up!"
"I don't think so."
The Kite Man raised his hand and looked at his rapidly vibrating watch.
He took a step back, pushed the two-faced man back a few steps, and looked at the one-hour countdown on his watch. There were less than ten seconds left.
Then, while taking off his green villain uniform, he said to the two-faced man who invited him:
"I think Batman is not only alive, but has been watching you all the time. He is like the legends in those gossips, lurking in the darkness like a ghost, observing every move here."
"That's an exaggeration. Batman is not as scary as you think."
Two-Face also thought that Kite Man was afraid of Batman.
He stretched out his hand and placed it on the kite flyer's shoulder, and whispered confidently:
"We don't have to be afraid of him! He's not as scary as he appears , we can... Hmm? What's that noise?"
A shrill whistle came from the sky, and the two-faced man who was trying hard to recruit capable subordinates looked up in confusion.
Then he saw a strange black iron can falling from the sky, breaking through the skylight on the top floor and falling straight down in front of him and the kite man.
It was a solid black tank more than two meters high. When it landed on the ground, it made a cracking sound and a gap opened on the outside. There were also two handles and pedal-like devices.
Under the astonished gaze of the two-faced man, the "kite man" stepped forward, grabbed the handle and stepped on the pedal. The next moment, many automatic machines started working in the jar.
With a click, a mechanical-style titanium alloy black bat suit was put on "Kite Man".
At the same time, the duration of the polyjuice potion just ended under the master's micro-manipulation. When the "Kite Man" raised his head again, what caught the eyes of the dazed Two-Face was the cold and stern chin that made him so familiar.
"ah!"
Two-Face screamed like a frightened girl.
Even he himself didn't know why he was screaming.
He just stared blankly at the battle suit on Batman in front of him. The internal system constantly opened and closed the armor blades to make it fit better as the body returned to its original shape.
As the fully armed Batman stepped down from the portable suit storage, the black bat-wing cape was also connected to his shoulders.
"ah!"
Two-Face screamed again.
This time, the voice was filled with anger at being deceived and a hint of the fundamental fear that he thought he had forgotten but actually had always existed in his heart.
This scene brought a fleeting smile to the old man's lips, and then he said in his signature hoarse voice:
"I said! I'm always here for you... Now, Harvey, go back to your ward! Otherwise I'll send you back the 'old way'."
"Ding"
Under the master's dim gaze, the two-faced man tossed the coin in his hand up and then dropped it into his palm. He glanced at the front of the coin, curled his lips, threw away the pistol he had snatched, and said:
"You're lucky this time. Let's continue playing next time! Damn 'Kite Man'! Where is poor Charles? Where did you hide him?"
"look up!"
The master said something.
The Two-Face Man looked up and saw the real Kite Man who was controlling the kite flying through the broken skylight with a group of bat drones.
"Shit!"
Two-Faced cursed.
But when he lowered his head again, Batman was no longer in front of him.
He complained and grumbled, walking around the corpses scattered on the ground and back to his ward in the basement... The coin told him that he should listen to Batman now.
You can never go wrong with coins.
Coins never lie.
Damn Batman, you're lucky tonight!
——
"Batman really showed up? And he was mixed in with those psycho villains the whole time?"
On the rooftop of Arkham Asylum, where a towering rocket-like launcher had been set up, Ms. Talia sighed after receiving the latest information from below.
She was not surprised by this result.
It can even be said to be expected.
There was no way. The man she had loved deeply and longed for was so magical that he seemed never to fail or be willing to disappear.
Even if he was sent to hell, he could climb out step by step on his own. He was really a guy that made people fear him from the bottom of their hearts.
"It doesn't matter. The plan has reached the final stage."
Mr. Sandstorm next to Talia didn't care much.
Although he has been lurking in this world for a long time and knows the reputation of Batman, he does not think that Batman is invincible. In fact, he has absolute confidence that he can defeat the mysterious man in a one-on-one fight.
Not to mention that his teammates were already rushing to Gotham from all over North America.
Once the Hydra team gathers together, they will be able to defeat not only Batman, but even another superhero of the same level.
"Father and I have to stay here to prepare the launch procedure. The Scarlet Knight may not be able to stop Batman and his Bat-Family, so I can only trouble you, Mr. Sandstorm."
Talia said apologetically, but Mr. Sandstorm waved his hand to indicate that this was not necessary.
Since it is an established cooperative organization and we will have to rely on Talia to help manage this vassal world in the future, there is no need to make the relationship too stiff.
He turned into sand and disappeared on the spot, ready to capture the troublesome Batman, but when flying over the main body of Arkham Asylum, Mr. Sandstorm suddenly frowned.
The next moment, his figure appeared in front of Mason who was walking up the stairs like quicksand.
"Didn't I tell you to leave? Three-headed dog!"
He said sharply:
"Why do you want to come back again?"
"I'm here to report the news, Mr. Sandstorm!"
Mason wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Mr. Sandstorm in an anxious tone:
"You guys retreat quickly! Things are getting bad!"
"Um?"
Mr. Sandstorm showed a suspicious expression under his mask, and then he saw Mason threw him a special bat-shaped communicator. He took it in his hand and found that the Justice League had issued an order for everyone to assemble and dispatched different members to various parts of the world.
This news made Mr. Sandstorm stunned for a moment.
"Something's leaked!"
Mason whispered:
“Fortunately, I had infiltrated the Bat Family ahead of time and maintained a good relationship with them. Also, because I rescued Nightwing tonight, they were able to include me in the operation.
You were fooled by Batman !
He was not injured at all from beginning to end!
He was only in disguise to collect evidence that would convince others, and now he has what he wants. The entire Justice League has been mobilized, and the world's most powerful group of superheroes have begun to march to all parts of the world!
Mr. Sandstorm, there is a traitor among you!
You were deceived by that cunning woman!"
"who?"
Mr. Sandstorm said doubtfully:
“Who deceived me?”
"Talia al Ghul!"
Mason vowed:
"You didn't know she had a son?"
"I know, and I've already promised to include Damian in my reserve team."
Mr. Sandstorm became more and more confused as he listened, and then he heard Mason holding his hand and saying in a deep voice:
"But you definitely don't know that Damian's father is Batman! That woman has always been on Batman's side, she is not loyal to the League of Assassins at all!
Oh my god!
Your intelligence agents should be dragged out and fed to Batman!
Don’t you even know this fatal news?
Talia just sent her son to the Batcave, and I saw with my own eyes that the child has been well protected in Batman's base...
Let’s go!
This was a trap set for you from the beginning!
The Justice League wants nothing more than to take you down, and they are doing it now, before it’s too late.”
"Click"
The communicator in Mr. Sandstorm's hand was crushed.
A feeling of shame of being deceived and fooled surged into the heart of the B-level personnel, but then came a deep sense of crisis.
However, before he could give the order to retreat to his team, the tattoo on his left arm flashed.
As Mason watched, a scream echoed between the two of them, and a pretty woman's voice shouted in pain and anxiety:
"Captain! Run! Run! Superman is chasing us! Hank is dead, his heart was broken by Superman! Qinze released Tiamat but couldn't stop that Kryptonian bastard!
Oh no!
Kotosawa detonates the biological bomb but Superman is unharmed!
He's coming at me!
run!"
The Hydra team's communications were terminated.
Mr. Sandstorm was trembling all over. He grabbed his arm and called out:
"Storm? Storm! Answer me! Damn it! Answer me!"
“Go!”
Mason pushed the stunned Mr. Sandstorm, who gritted his teeth and said:
"The world gate of the Hydra team is on Storm. If she can't escape, I will have nowhere to go... Damn it! How could something that was originally going smoothly suddenly turn out like this?
I must……"
"beep"
A strange, light noise was heard from Mr. Sandstorm's belt, and he took down something like a compass, on which there was a small light that was rapidly extinguishing.
Mr. Sandstorm took a breath and said tremblingly:
"The leader of the 'Green Chaos' team is dead. They were supposed to be operating in London."
"It must have been Wonder Woman who did this!"
Mason suppressed his laughter and pretended to be horrified. He said:
"I heard that her activities are in the London area. This team is really unlucky to run into her. You should leave and don't let Batman find you.
The most important thing is, don’t implicate me!
I am risking my life to bring you the news!"
"Don't worry, it won't affect you, three-headed dog."
Mr. Sandstorm was a little overwhelmed by the sudden incidents. He tried to calm himself down, glanced at Mason again, and said:
"Where is your world gate? I'll lend it to you and I'll definitely give you a satisfactory reward!"
"It's in the Iceberg Bar! In Gotham City, on Glacier Avenue, in the booth on the top floor."
Mason quickly gave the location.
Mr. Sandstorm nodded without hesitation and immediately turned into wind and sand and disappeared in the extremely noisy yet chilling hell-like night.
After Mr. Sandstorm's aura completely disappeared, Mason carefully checked his surroundings and himself. After confirming that there was no monitoring force, he leisurely touched the needle of the Eye of Hell and sent a message to Zha Kang.
A minute later, Constantine's scream was heard again on the Justice League's communication network:
"Guys, I saw a guy running out of the alternate dimension! He must have sensed your actions and went to the material world to meet his evil compatriots.
That guy's destination is Gotham City!
Who is there?
Be careful not to get caught by him, that guy who can transform into wind and sand is extremely dangerous!
Lethal force must be used!"
A few seconds later, a cold voice responded on the Internet:
"This is Green Arrow. Target information received, I will begin the hunt!"
