What bad intentions could Batman have?.

Lex Luthor took two steps back. All the means he had left in the entire central propulsion tower had been broken by Night Owl. He was still trying to launch a counterattack, but it was already a last-ditch effort.

"It's useless, Lex. I don't want to kill you - at least not yet." Night Owl said: "Unlike Luther in our world, you are an excellent scientist. I admire you very much, and I need talents like you. This is why you are still alive. You are still valuable, and you should be grateful for this."

Night Owl's voice was low and hoarse: "Originally, I was planning to bring Lucius Fox from your world here as well, but unfortunately, taking him away rashly would definitely touch Batman's sensitive nerves, so I can only take you, who is relatively unappreciated by Batman."

Of course Luther would not be instigated by the other party, which was too low-level. However, the more nonsense Night Owl talked, the more beneficial it would be for him, so Luther did not interrupt the other party.

Instead, he turned to Greer beside him and said, as if to deliberately induce Night Owl to continue talking: "Honey, I don't know why you listened to Night Owl again. To be honest, I always thought Night Wing told me that we were in the same group."

"Dick? He's a great guy, very delicious." Greer's eyes flashed red, setting off her skin, which was slightly obsidian in color, like her father Darkseid.

"But he still made a mistake... Never, ever take a woman's promise seriously, right?"

"Batman asked Dick to use his help in killing Darkseid as a bargaining chip to try to convince Greer to work for him." Night Owl said from the side: "And at that time, Greer and I happened to have a little... small misunderstanding. She thought I would regard Darkseid as an ally and abandon my cooperation with her."

Night Owl didn't say anything more. He did think about abandoning Greyer, and Greyer did betray him without hesitation and cooperate with Batman. Night Owl also imprisoned her...

But these are nothing. When it comes to important matters, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

They easily put aside their past grudges. What is better for themselves is the only motivation that drives them.

They moved on from this matter very quickly, and now they act as if nothing had happened.

"But there is still one thing I don't understand, you..." Luther wanted to continue talking endlessly, but his words were quickly interrupted by Night Owl.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Lex believes that you have also discovered that you are trying to summon the Green Lantern Corps of more than 2000 people that you and I captured and transformed, right?"

Night Owl said, his voice full of sarcasm.

"You must be confused. You hid this legion in my universe, and now you try to call them to protect you but they don't respond at all, right?"

Even this was pointed out, and Night Owl was finally satisfied to see a panicked expression on Luther's face.

"Yes," he said, "I didn't lie to you about that. You were able to transform those Green Lanterns into Doomsday cells and Parasites, and your level in both transformations is far beyond mine."

"Even for me, it is impossible to skip the most basic deconstruction of the DNA of these two organisms and directly master their transformation methods, just like being average in math in junior high school and suddenly becoming proficient in advanced math in high school."

"But the problem is, even if I can't compete with you for control of this army, it doesn't mean I can't make you lose control of this army."

Night Owl said: "Using the Green Lantern Ring to create a different space to hide? This is an old trick of the Green Lantern Corps. Even Hal in our world has mastered this trick long ago."

He said: "It's too simple and too careless. If it were me, I would not cover my army so carelessly."

(Note: Night Owl here refers to the cowardly version of Hal Jordan in their world, who has died in the suicide attack on Planet OA under the control of Lantern No. 1 in this book)

Luther lowered his head at the victor's taunting. He murmured in a low voice: "You are right. I was too careless and too arrogant."

"So it's all over, Lex. Be decent. After it's all over, I think we will work together for many years." Night Owl said: "I have prepared a comfortable enough house arrest place for you, you can..."

"No, not yet."

Then Night Owl heard Luther's voice. He frowned and immediately used the device on his arm to check whether the anti-space jump device in the entire propulsion tower was still activated, and then it showed that everything was normal.

"I admit that I was careless this time, but fortunately I have developed a habit, a habit I developed after being disgusted by Batman once."

As Luther said this, his face turned dark the next moment.

Talking about this habit always reminded him of the time when Bane, who didn't distinguish between friend and foe, slapped him in the face. That feeling of being fooled around by Clayface was terrible.

But~

Now pinch~

puff!

Luther had a leak.

He deflated like a balloon, and his entire face melted like wax. Of course, it was impossible for Clayface to control his clone from such a distance, so these Clayface cells were completely operated by Luthor himself, just like Batman used Clayface to leave an empty shell in his place.

After being hit critically by this move, although Luthor said no, he had secretly learned this move at some point. Even the Mudface cells in his body were cloned by him independently, rather than a direct gift from Batman.

"Don't think you're the only one who uses remote-controlled bionic robots to visit dangerous places that are inconvenient for you to reach." Luthor controlled his clone to dissolve, and taunted loudly: "You did win a game, but you think everyone else is a fool. Lex Luthor is not so easy to finish."

His real body never stepped into this propulsion tower from beginning to end, just like Night Owl's remote-controlled robot. Luther himself did not expect that this idle chess piece would actually save his life and give him a second chance.

He let out a villain's standard evil grin: "Haha, it's not over yet, Thomas, old friend!"

"I will be back soon, I promise, and that will be the end of you!"

As the evil villain finished his speech, Clayface Luther fell to the ground with a thud and turned into a large mass of Clayface cells that no one could control.

Night Owl and Grayer stood there quietly.

"What should we do, smart guy?" Greer said, "Luther ran away."

She seemed somewhat defiant, yet somewhat indifferent.

"He can't run away." Night Owl said in a muffled voice.

He walked to the owl computer next to the propulsion tower, and quickly typed in a long string of information. He soon obtained the highest authority, and then he gave orders to the owl computer.

"Help me connect to Orange Lantern's Laflitz, Despair, Lady Styx, Alfred, and his secret society of super villains, as well as Dr. Ivo and his Amojo."

(Note: Night Owl here refers to the evil version of Alfred in their universe, the outsider)

(Note: The King of Orange Lanterns, Lafleze, killed all creatures that attempted to use Orange Lantern energy, causing them to lose their physical bodies and become the embodiment of Orange Lantern energy, becoming his subordinates. This ghost army plus him became the Orange Lantern Corps. His personality is as extremely greedy as the embodiment of Orange Lantern emotions. He himself is a warthog-like creature with multiple fangs)

He quickly recited a long list of names of forces. He did this in front of Grayer to warn her not to have any other ideas.

This time, Grayer couldn't smile.

Amojo? Dr. Ivo? Laflitz, the leader of the Orange Lantern Corps? And the Secret Society of Super Villains?

When did they form an alliance with Night Owl and become his allies?

These people were completely unknown to Greyle before. Night Owl had hidden many things from her, and the "unknown" was often scary and intimidating.

Nite Owl is great at playing with these things, he's almost as good at playing with fear as Batman.

Controlling a person does not necessarily require the direct use of magic or technology, or telepathic superpowers.

Mental manipulation and the threat of fear are also ways to prevent others from acting rashly.

He had not put enough effort into intimidating Gray before, which led to her betrayal. Night Owl would not make the same mistake a second time.

Did you see that? Grayer, I will forgive you for what happened before, but if you dare to play tricks again, I have so many cards that you can't figure out. Are you sure that none of them are used against you?

So...be obedient.

"...Great Lady Styx, my ally, I need to entrust you with something...Yes, hunt down Lex, he betrayed us, you have to capture him alive, I can only feel at ease if I entrust this matter to you, the others are a group of people who only know how to kill...The Despair Demon will cooperate with you...Don't want to cooperate with the Despair Demon? He is just an auxiliary, you are the leader...What about the advancement tower? Don't worry, I have already made arrangements..."

"...Despair Demon, I need you to let go..."

"Dr. Ivo, it's time for your Amojo robot to show its prowess. Your robot must replace the Despair Demon and guard his tower..."

"...Laflitz, you requested before that we don't have to garrison a propulsion tower like the Galaxy Puppet Team, and I agreed to it, but now the situation has changed..."

"...No, I'm not breaking my promise. Haven't you always wanted the propulsion tower and the planet's heart? If you are willing for Ms. Styx to be stationed at the propulsion tower, after everything is over, the propulsion tower you are in charge of will be yours. Deal?"

"make a deal."

Night Owl hung up the phone expressionlessly.

"Lafleeze, this greedy warthog. What use does he have for the propulsion tower? It is useless. A propulsion tower alone is just scrap metal. But he simply wants to take that thing for himself. Stupid."

Night Owl shook his head.

Then he turned around and said to Grayer who had witnessed everything: "Get ready, it's time to set sail."

He paused, then opened his palms towards the air in front of him. At this point, the sound of the night owl finally began to rise, which made Grayer think it was an illusion.

"Set sail! Set sail! Head towards a free future!"

"No more danger, no more crisis. The chance to escape this dark fate... is right before our eyes!"

……

……

……

"So, what's the plan?"

Darkseid asked in the telepathic channel that Batman and he had established.

Batman spoke with such confidence, so the Lord of Apokolips thought it was worth listening to him.

"A special explosive made by the Guardians of the Universe." Then he heard Batman say seriously: "But if you want to hit it, you need to accumulate time."

If Batman had mentioned explosives, Darkseid might have still had some doubts, but when he heard the Guardians of the Universe come out, Darkseid no longer had any doubts.

He knew that Batman used the dead Guardian of the Universe as a grenade - even though he had been hiding on Apokolips, it did not prevent him from secretly spying on what Batman was doing in the universe.

Darkseid himself had once had a conflict with the Green Lantern Corps on Planet Oa. How could he not notice such a big thing happening on Planet Oa?

It was with these as a foundation that Darkseid finally made up his mind.

"how much longer?"

He asked in a low voice.

"About two minutes. Not short, but not too long either." After getting Batman's exact number through telepathy, Darkseid heard Batman's voice again.

"I will use something called the Death Treasure Golden Ball to create a golden portal behind you. This thing will be activated faster than the sonic boom channel you created. You must quickly jump backwards into the golden portal in an instant to avoid being affected by the violent explosion."

He heard Batman say: "Such an explosion will at most weaken the Anti-Monitor. I don't think it will actually kill him."

Chen Tao was talking nonsense, and he spoke with such confidence about things that didn't exist that Darkseid was fascinated and absorbed in his thoughts.

"But even if that's enough, we need to push the Anti-Monitor out of our universe, then close the door and release Superboy-Prime, let him see the Anti-Monitor before he sees us... and then gamble that Superboy-Prime won't come back to kill us first."

Darkseid didn't listen to the second half at all. As far as he was concerned, he had to either escape or carry out Batman's plan. What to do next was something he would consider after he had a chance to catch his breath.

Did he really think it was easy for him to face off against Darkseid and the Anti-Monitor? Although he felt that the Anti-Monitor seemed a little weaker than the last time he invaded the Batman universe... This seemed to be his illusion, but no matter what, he was almost unable to hold on.

"Okay." The Lord of Apokolips agreed to Batman's plan. He pulled himself together, and his eyes focused on the purple Omega Judgment, which could send people into an infinite parallel universe. It collided with the white rays shot by the Anti-Monitor, then faded away, followed by an even more intense collision.

"Hah!" The rays coming out of Darkseid's eyes were as thick as buckets. As he collided head-on with the Anti-Monitor again, the ground beneath their feet cracked like tofu.

"Batman damn it, how long?"

"It's coming soon."

Chen Tao responded over the telepathic link, with an expression as if he was holding back a bowel movement on his face, while secretly estimating how much energy Darkseid had consumed in this head-on confrontation with the Anti-Monitor, and whether the tired Darkseid would be able to avoid his plot.

A minute passed quietly and Darkseid began to breathe heavily, which was almost impossible for the Lord of Apokolips.

"How much longer?"

"84 seconds." Chen Tao continued talking for a while, and then continued to make an expression as if he was holding back a bowel movement.

Darkseid collides with the Anti-Monitor once again, and they grab each other's hands and wrestle like two gorillas.

"Done yet????"

OK OK.

Seeing that Darkseid was getting a little irritated, Chen Tao hurriedly said that the time was up.

Immediately afterwards, a golden portal appeared behind Darkseid.

"Great."

Darkseid immediately gave up the fight with the Anti-Monitor as planned, fell backwards, and went straight through the portal. He knew that Batman was going to use his trump card, and then he could continue to execute his plan of sitting back and watching the fight, and then...

He appeared on the Anti-Monitor's face.

Darkseid’s eyes widened: ?????

The Anti-Monitor was also stunned for a moment, then he didn't hold back and punched Darkseid in the face, leaving him with bruises all over his face. His obsidian face was distorted, and Darkseid's neck was bent 130 degrees, making people almost think his head was about to fly off.

However, such injuries could not do any harm to Darkseid. He barely stood up from the ground, but before he could say anything, a loud bang was heard.

Darkseid only felt a sharp pain in his back.
