What bad intentions could Batman have?.

"No, Batman has one in your heart as well as one in your spine!"

(Note: Please refer to the above foreshadowing

But Luthor's question only brought Nightwing a wry smile: "I told you, Lex..."

"Call me Mr. Luther!" Luther suddenly grabbed the non-existent hair on his head: "Your father and I are strategic partners!"

"Hush." ​​Nightwing agreed, but this problem of addressing did not help their current situation.

Nightwing smiled bitterly and said, "Batman did prepare two sets of the Joker virus for me, but the Joker potion that was deposited on my heart valve using Brainiac's shrinking ray did not escape Nightwing's inspection."

"Night Owl is much more powerful than we imagined. Not only did he examine my entire body and find all the hidden Joker viruses in me, he also used his telepathic ability to break through the mental protection Batman left on me. Batman originally expected that he would have feelings for me as his counterpart because of that Claw Dick Grayson, but in fact, that little bit of emotion was not enough to influence his actions, let alone shake his sanity."

"So..." he said.

"So..." Luther asked, "Have we completely failed?"

"My influence here won't last long. Night Owl will soon find out that we didn't choose to look for Violent Wolf, but came directly to you. He will also start to lead the troops that were originally going to Violent Wolf towards this side."

"I dare to guess that Night Owl will never let Lady Styx or any cosmic overlord-level ally to look for me. Instead, he will arrange at least two people - this is an improvement based on Lady Styx's previous indulgence of us. The other party's actions cannot be hidden from Night Owl's eyes."

"It's already difficult enough for me to face Lady Styx alone. Once Night Owl mobilizes more than two people to fight, the situation on our side will be completely one-sided."

Sweat beads appeared on Luther's bald head, falling drop by drop like rain. "Damn it, this is not what I prepared for..."

"What preparations have you made?" Nightwing asked. Luthor originally planned to let the stupid kid play by himself. He was seizing every moment to burn the flame of wisdom, but suddenly he changed his decision.

A certain intuition ignited Luther's mind, and his soul was shrouded in smoke and condensed in a fog, unable to see the future clearly. He vaguely discovered something, but could not grasp the key point.

He turned around suddenly and grabbed Nightwing's shoulders: "Repeat to me exactly what Batman said to you!"

"Oh, okay, that day..."

Nightwing was about to speak when he was interrupted by Luther: "Wait, no need, I want to read your memory directly."

Luthor pushed Nightwing to the ground without saying a word, then took off his armor and sat cross-legged in front of him. The armor behind him moved on its own, and then a large number of nanomechanical chains extended from his abdomen and were placed on Luthor's bald head. Then another one was connected to Nightwing's head without saying a word.

In an instant, a large amount of memory was synchronized into Luther's mind. Although it was a fixed-point reading and Nightwing had no power to resist, the mental shock still caused Luther, a mortal body, to bleed from his nose.

But his eyes were red, and he bit his bloody teeth:

I have to find out, I have to find out, what Batman is...

"...Night Owl strangling Nightwing would be making the biggest mistake of his life, because..."

"... Nightwing summoned Violent Wolf... Violent Wolf was beaten to a pulp... Nightowl was unable to kill Violent Wolf after it was reborn through dripping blood, but he could very likely... make him unable to save Nightwing anymore..."

Luther held his head.

No. What is it? What is it? How can we cut through the fog and see the truth?

tell me!

——Both Wolf and Nightwing have been on Batman's operating table. One provided his own cells, and the other received transplanted cells... At least that's what Batman claimed to the public, and it doesn't rule out that he was lying.

"…Dick, have you ever considered dying? Ugh, I mean, have you ever considered becoming a superhero with the ability to heal yourself…"

A bolt of lightning suddenly hit Luthor's head. The clue was so obvious that Batman deliberately misspoken the previous sentence. He...

Luther suddenly laughed nervously, and then his shoulders began to tremble.

He finally guessed it, he suddenly understood it!

The so-called wisdom is both a sharp blade that splits the fog and a drop of water that condenses into the fog.

He was too smart and believed in his own plan too much to see clearly.

This is a mistake only smart people make. The smarter you think you are and the more you think you are in control of the overall situation, the more often you will fall into a vicious circle of binding yourself.

And Night Owl will definitely make this mistake, and there is no point in taking precautions. This is not a problem that can be solved by taking precautions at all.

This is a curse to all those who have wisdom, and a deception of their wisdom. How can a wise man be deceived? What kind of person can deceive a wise man?

No one but the wise man himself.

"Are you okay? We have to find a way to escape. Night Owl will be here soon. There is no time to waste."

Nightwing was standing by and watching Lex Luthor crying and laughing, feeling anxious. It wasn't that he looked down on Luthor's skills, but no matter how good the skills were, they couldn't last too long under such a complete alarm system.

Every second they stayed here was a second more of a risk of being discovered and caught by the Night Owl. So why not run away?

"I have prepared a 8 million equivalent nuclear bomb for Gotham City," Nightwing heard Luther say, "It is about times more powerful than the Tsar Bomb."

(Note: The Tsar Bomb was a nuclear bomb detonated by the Soviet Union during the Cold War, with an equivalent of 5000 tons, about 700 times the power of the "Little Boy" dropped on Hiroshima, Japan.)

"You have prepared a backup plan. Can this help us escape from this predicament?" Nightwing was suddenly surprised and delighted.

"Of course I didn't think that I could make Night Owl surrender with just a small bomb like this. Neither Ms. Styx nor the group of cosmic overlords under him would be incapable of finding a way to stop the explosion. But the problem is that in addition to destroying Gotham City, Night Owl's nuclear bomb is also a trigger."

Nightwing didn't even understand what Luthor was trying to do for a moment, then he realized what was going on and was shocked.

"What? You want to destroy the entire Gotham City? There are at least millions or tens of millions of people there! No, we can't do this. Listen to me, Luther, they are all a group of living people..."

Nightwing was shocked by him, he didn't expect Luthor to be so explosive. If he really acted according to his plan, not to mention Gotham, several surrounding cities would be doomed.

"Enough, do you think our original plan to abandon this universe was so kind?" Nightwing wanted to say more nonsense, but Luthor pushed him down.

"I used this activation program to bind this nuclear explosion to the acceleration of this universe. I have secretly handled every propulsion tower built by Night Owl. If too many propulsion towers are damaged, the acceleration of this universe will decrease, and if the Anti-Monitor catches up with us, we will die."

Luther said: "So what I want to tell you is that we still have a chance to fight against Night Owl, and this topic ends here. I don't mean to really do this, I just want to use this to threaten Night Owl."

He forcefully suppressed the first Robin's doubts about whether the nuclear bomb explosion would harm the residents, and by diverting his attention, he helped Dick refocus his attention.

"In addition to the nuclear bomb that was secretly placed in Gotham City, I also have dozens of small-yield micro-nuclear bombs on hand, which can be used as weapons in a head-on confrontation."

Luther had already located Violent Wolf's location through the satellite. He gave Nightwing an order directly: "Follow me, I know where Violent Wolf is. We need to find him."

He chatted some useless nonsense with Nightwing again, then let the other party walk in front and quickly escaped from the cage prepared for him by Night Owl.

And when Nightwing didn't notice...

Luthor controlled the armor, causing it to grow a large number of metal tentacles, and quietly deleted a small part of his memory of the Batman plan he had just understood, leaving only the preparations for what he was going to do.

Very good, once he deleted those memories, then even if he was caught, the other party could use telepathy to read his memory...

Nor will he realize Batman's plan.

……

……

……

"Night Owl's plan has gone awry."

In another corner of Gotham City, in an owl cave sub-base where Violent Wolf is imprisoned.

The huge pink body of the Devil of Despair was leaning against the wall of the owl cave, his one eye closed, sitting cross-legged, dozing off.

At this moment, Ms. Styx was sitting on a chair nearby.

"Night Owl is wrong. Luthor's first target is not Violent Wolf, but Nightwing." Ms. Styx, who was sitting on the chair, was really bored, so she controlled the humanoid figures made of dark matter who obeyed his orders to help him find a stone, and then crushed it in an instant.

"It seems that our leader is not as well-planned as we thought." said Ms. Styx.

"I have informed Night Owl of the situation. He will make the corresponding decision after understanding it." The three-eyed pink-skinned alien did not intend to respond to Ms. Styx's malicious words, because he knew very well that there were countless temptations hidden behind these two complaints.

He had heard about the other party's attempt to form alliances and unite with other cosmic overlords, but at least for now, the Demon of Despair had no intention of getting involved.

Soon, they also received communication from Night Owl.

"Things haven't developed as we thought for the time being. Luthor went to rescue Nightwing first. Maybe he'll find it easier for him."

Across the screen, Night Owl said: "But despite this little episode, it is still impossible for them to give up Violent Wolf."

"The opponent's strength far exceeds that of Nightwing, enough to change the situation. Even if Luther rescues Nightwing, he will definitely bring him to find Violent Wolf."

As Night Owl said this, he exchanged a subtle look with the Violent Wolf in the cage across the screen.

"That's why I mobilized you to block him here. In order to prevent Luther from having any plans, I have prepared a new ally for you two."

The Devil of Despair and Ms. Styx looked at each other.

who is it?

"It's a second-generation Amojo robot, controlled by Dr. Ivo." Night Owl said, "Although it's not as powerful as the third-generation Amojo robot guarding the propulsion tower, it's still stronger than the ordinary members of the company next to you. If you three join forces, you will definitely be able to catch Luther alive, right?"

Night Owl said: "I have nothing more to say... Let's finish the work, allies. I think we should all work together before escaping the clutches of the Anti-Monitor, right, Lady Styx?"

Ms. Minghe looked unhappy. The other party directly called her name, which meant that what she had done had been discovered.

"In short, your configuration has far exceeded the upper limit of what Luther can handle. Even if he is stronger, he can't save Violent Wolf from you."

At this time, Baolang was lying in his cell, as if he was oblivious to all this. The eye contact he had just had with Yexiao seemed like a complete illusion.

As the communication ended, Ms. Styx and Despair continued to guard here together. This was the innermost location, and other members of the secret society of super villains were waiting for them outside.

"Will Luther really come?" Ms. Styx said, "This is completely suicide. In the previous encounter with the opponent, although I failed to stop him, I already have a rough understanding of the fighting power of Luther and his creation."

The Despair Demon did not respond to his words. Lady Styx wanted to say something, but the next moment...

"Attention, attention, someone is invading the Owl Cave, attention, someone is entering the Owl Cave!"

A shrill alarm sounded from behind the screen. This time, even the Despair Demon, who seemed calmer than Styx, began to feel a little curious.

Luthor clearly has the potential to avoid surveillance. He clearly has the ability to do so. He even did so when facing Nightwing before. But now, he is so brazen as to trigger a warning.

How is this going?

"If Luthor really comes, what will he rely on to try to defeat us? Relying on the damaged mecha he is using now, or relying on the mortal body that was injured by Ms. Styx before? Relying on his artificial creation, or relying on Dick Grayson who is completely powerless to us?"

The Despair Demon thought silently:

"No matter from which angle you look at it, Luther is doomed to fail this time. Why is he here?"
