Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

"...That's just the way it is."

Batman recounted everything that happened that day in a concise and concise manner.

Before the other members of the alliance could speak, the information Dick sent made Batman's expression become more serious.

"It's not like you've never fought a god before." The brave and fearless Green Lantern was still whispering to the Flash beside him, "There's no need to be so nervous."

Before the Flash could reply, he saw the serious Batman cast a disapproving look, and quickly elbowed Green Lantern, who was talking too much.

"If you ask me, old Bat is just too nervous..." Green Lantern didn't realize the hint given to him by his dear good partner.

It wasn't until the Avengers members who were fighting with the Justice League couldn't help but laugh, that Batman finally couldn't bear it and shouted, "Green light."

Green Lantern blinked and said without any guilt, "What's wrong?"

What a shameless green light.

Everyone in the Justice League is not a superior or subordinate. In private time, Batman will also make some harmless jokes with his teammates, but now it is serious business.

Batman took a deep breath and said, "The enemy is the god who controls the entire dark universe and has the power of many worlds. You should understand that our opponent is likely to be ourselves."

"You should indeed proceed with caution." Wonder Woman confirmed Batman's statement.

As a demigod, she can better understand what the identity of a god represents, not to mention that Barbatos is also the god of the dark universe, and his power must be extremely powerful.

"God..." Superman sighed, worry shining in his blue eyes.

With an enemy of this intensity and level, Superman would definitely stand at the forefront, but what worried him was how many people this battle would affect. The Black Zero incident could not happen again in Metropolis.

"The problem is, don't we still have to defend passively?" Shazam spread his hands and said honestly, "The Dark Multiverse or something, it doesn't sound like it's going to be easy."

He whispered, "I've never heard of it before."

Shazam, who possesses the wisdom of Solomon, is a rare magic hero, but for him, it was the first time he heard what Batman said. Shazam is an honest kid. When he saw Batman being so serious, he took it seriously. Get up and plan to ask the wizard when you go back.

"If the person you want to deal with is yourself..." Cyborg lowered his head and frowned.

This young man was flattered to be able to join the Justice League. He tried hard to keep up with these outstanding people, but... was it really possible to fight the gods?

"Well..." Cyborg's words made the Flash reveal his mask of pain. His opponent already had a Reverse-Flash. Do you want another Speedster...

"Batman, do you have anything to say?" Tony narrowed his eyes.

"That's right." Batman closed his eyes, "To be precise, the enemy we have to deal with is 'me'."

"You?" Everyone looked at Batman in confusion.

"What? B, what does this mean?" Superman asked anxiously.

Tony changed his posture anxiously, and with his smart mind, he thought of a certain possibility almost instantly, but he was unwilling to say it out loud.

"It's just a group of me from different worlds who have your abilities." Batman said.

"But...but, why do we have to be hostile to you, ah no, Batman from another world?" The Flash said in confusion.

"Brother." Green Lantern is not as naive as the Flash. He was frivolous before and sat upright without realizing it. "He is nothing more than an evil version of Batman with super powers. Don't worry about why you are hostile. Just remember It’s okay if they are enemies.”

"There are reliable intelligence sources, and there are people with green light capabilities on the other side." Batman said.

"Ha." Green Lantern raised his lips, "Then... I'll leave this one to me when the time comes."

Green Lantern's ability comes from his will. Hal will not give up in this regard. He is the greatest Green Lantern, even if his opponent is Batman.

"No matter what, Batman won't have my powers, right?" Superman said worriedly.

"I've thought about this." Batman exhaled, "Do you still remember the research on Doomsday?"

"I remember... the virus on Doomsday is contagious..." As he spoke, Superman opened his eyes wide, "You should say..."

"Well, it is indeed impossible for 'I' to have Kryptonian blood, but if I am infected with the virus from Doomsday, I can have the same abilities as Superman." Batman said.

"Uh..." Superman showed a toothache expression, and everyone's expressions were not very good either.

We are all teammates who have fought Doomsday. That monster is really difficult to deal with.

"If that's the case, it's just another Doomsday." Tony reacted quickly.

Doomsday's research was not exclusive to the Justice League. Just to prevent Doomsday's body from being used by interested people, it was thrown directly into the sun and destroyed efficiently and quickly.

Is the most feared thing about Batman his physical fitness? Maybe, it's really awesome to always maintain a physique at the peak of human beings and be proficient in various fighting techniques, but for superpowers and aliens, the mind is Batman's most terrifying weapon. This is also Batman's role in justice. The biggest reason why the Alliance is at the core.

Doomsday's ability is indeed comparable to that of Superman, but the virus also destroyed Batman's mind, so Doomsday is just Doomsday, not to mention that Superman, who has already experienced it once, will not be so embarrassed.

"Isn't there another issue that needs attention now?" Fury, who was a guest on the sidelines, looked at Batman with sharp eyes. "Where did your intelligence come from? Are you sure the intelligence is true?"

The invasion of the dark universe cannot keep the government in the dark. No matter how powerful the heroes are, they cannot have the manpower to protect everyone as much as possible. It is helpless to involve the government.

"I saw it with my own eyes." Batman said solemnly.

He wasn't going to explain anything to Fredo, and it was even less likely that he would tell Fury about Lucas's existence. They would definitely take this child away from them for more reasons.

"Sorry, Mr. Batman." Fury said coldly, "If there is not enough evidence, it is impossible for us to take action."

Who knows if what Batman said is true? Even if it is true, when and where the Dark Universe will invade? If they don’t know this, how can the government respond and make this information public? It will only cause unreasonable panic among the masses and cause more social problems.

These are all things that need to be considered. Batman can't just say that if someone from the dark universe comes to invade the world, he can act casually.

What's more, the vigilantes are a small group of people who don't trust the government. They have to endure because of the support of the people. Why should we listen to them?

The three-party meeting had to be suspended in a bad atmosphere.

Superman quietly glanced at the lower half of Batman's exposed face. It was extremely dark, and the terrifying aura on his body made people clearly feel how bad their alliance advisor's mood was now.

"Batman, I believe you." The chairman of the alliance stated immediately, "The premise of our meeting is to believe everything you say."

Of course Superman believes what Batman says. He has met Lucas from the Dark Universe and even seen part of his memories with Batman. The existence of the Dark Universe is of course undoubted.

but……

"What Director Fury said makes sense. We do lack too much intelligence at the moment, and we can't even take the initiative if we want to."

After all, no one but Lucas knows how to travel between the two universes.

Batman didn't speak, just stood there silently.

"Indeed, it's a bit unreal to suddenly tell us this." Green Lantern shrugged, "OA's information didn't even mention this."

"Neither does Apokolips." Cyborg shook his head.

"I...I'll ask the wizard." Shazam said quickly.

However, Wonder Woman did not express her opinion immediately, but looked at Batman thoughtfully, and after everyone had finished speaking, she said, "I did see some mark left by a high-ranking being on Batman. "

Wonder Woman's words suddenly attracted everyone's attention, including a certain Tony who reconnected to the watchtower.

"What does this mean?!" Tony asked directly without even saying hello.

"It's very simple. Batman is indeed being targeted." Wonder Woman frowned and said, "This being is of a very high status. I think it is the god named Barbatos that Batman talks about."

Tony uttered a curse word. He didn't understand how Bruce could be so unlucky and encounter so many enemies that were beyond the reach of human power because everyone had similar life experiences.

"So, I do think Batman is particularly gloomy today." Shazam observed Batman seriously, "I thought he was in a bad mood today."

Tony rolled his eyes and said unceremoniously, "That stupid guy named Shazam, how old are you this year?"

"Uh... what do I... have... to do with you?" Shazam wanted to say something at first, but then immediately stopped talking, turned his head away childishly, and ignored Tony.

To be honest, it was very eye-catching for a hunk in his twenties to do something that only a child would do, and at least Tony had a disgusted look on his face.

"Is there anything else?" Batman looked at Tony.

"It seems that you are really angry. You didn't even call me by my name." Tony raised his eyebrows, "Fury and I are not the same people."

"But don't you have SHIELD agents in the Avengers?" Shazam couldn't help but interjected, not looking very happy.

"Go ahead, what do kids know about games?" Tony waved his hand in disgust. He finally understood. This big man looked tall, but he was actually a kid at heart. Tony didn't care about such people.

"I just think you still haven't said something very important." Tony looked at Batman, "For example, what did you see with your own eyes?"

"Barbatos is coming," Batman said.

"Impossible." Wonder Woman, who initially believed in Batman, retorted, "If that kind of existence comes, I can't possibly not notice it."

After Wonder Woman, Shazam nodded crazily. Despite his young age, he felt that it was impossible to go wrong!

Batman was in a worse mood, but that wasn't because of Jason's sacrifice. Batman was very uncomfortable with being powerless in front of God. He was obviously so close to Jason at that time, but he couldn't save him.

"Is it related to the inexplicable fog in Gotham?" Superman asked.

"That's right." Batman said, "You have gone into the fog to investigate, right?"

"Well...it was completely white inside. I rushed in and kept running. I didn't know where I was. I could have circled the United States several times." The Flash said, "But when I suddenly gave up, When I had the idea, it came out all at once.”

"At that time, all the positioning systems failed." Tony, who also went in, added.

"After all, Gotham at that time seemed to have disappeared from this world." Shazam said softly.

"You are right, we have entered a different space and do not exist in the physical space." Batman used the words that mages often talk about unaccustomedly, "So, when Barbatos arrives, You who are in the physical space cannot notice it.”

"Okay, okay." Green Lantern spread his hands, "Don't worry about this. After all, the key to the conversation going on is that we all believe what Batman said. I think everyone here thinks so. "

If we really didn't take it seriously, everyone wouldn't get together, and who would be so free?

"That's what that old bastard Fury is like." Tony also said, "Don't look at the fact that he just used this to pressure you. In fact, he must have started making plans."

Batman looked at his companions who trusted him, and the heavy breath on his body gradually relaxed.

Yes, he is never alone, he has a group of like-minded companions.

"I understand, let's lay out some plans first."

At this time in Gotham, Lucas was also faced with the surprise of the arrival of his friends.

"Long time no see, Lucas." Peter gave Lucas a hug excitedly, winked and said, "Are you surprised?"

Lucas patted Peter on the back helplessly, "It must be a fright."

"We took the time to see you, so that's too much to say." Mindy said coquettishly, with her hands on her waist.

Two years have passed, and the little girl with purple hair has grown a lot taller, and her figure has begun to bulge forward and back.

"Such a big thing happened in Gotham, no matter what, we have to come and see it." Gwen said openly, "This is the responsibility of the Phantom Thieves."

"That's right, you are not the leader now and can't control us." Mindy made a face.

Raven stared directly at Lucas, "You...have become stronger."
