Chapter 405 Batman Saves A Hand
Chapter 405 Batman Saves A Hand
Dane's expression was a little subtle after listening to her story.
The war between Rann and Senagon? Isn’t this a prelude to Infinite Crisis?
When it comes to the reason why these two civilizations went to war, this seems to be the only reason.
"Shayera, what is the real reason for your war with Lann?"
In Infinite Crisis, the cause of the war between the two worlds was Superman-Prime pushing Rann into Senagon's orbit, causing Senagon to fall towards the sun.
Senagan must fight Lann in order to survive.
Faced with Dane's inquiry, Shayera shook her head: "I'm not very clear about this."
Obviously Shayera's status in Senagang is not high enough to touch such secrets.
Dane pinched his brow, one wave after another...
But you have to be optimistic. This is the DC world after all. It’s just a world-ending disaster. It’s very common.
Just deal with it one by one.
So he patted Shayera on the shoulder: "Don't think too much, let's finish solving Darkseid's matter first.
Hearing him mention this name, Shayera put on a worried expression again: "Dane, do you really want to deal with Darkseid?"
"What? Even you have heard of his reputation?" Dane laughed.
Shayera quietly rolled her eyes: "We are not primitive people, and Darkseid is a very famous god in the universe. Even at the peak of our civilization, we did not dare to provoke him, so Dane you..."
Dane saw Shayera's worried look and reassured her again: "It's okay. I have found some ways to solve this problem. You should have more confidence in me."
Seeing his nonchalant look, Shayera seemed really confident. Although she still felt a little worried, she could only choose to believe, so she lay back in his arms again.
Doomsday nightmare world, the royal city of Atlantis.
Although the technology tree of the people under the sea is somewhat different from that of the people on the surface, in the final analysis, it is still the use of objective laws. With the Ability of Batman and Cyborg, it did not take long to deconstruct the crucial water ion technology of the people under the sea.
They then quickly set about assembling the time shuttle.
Although The Flash is not here, the red battle suit he once used is still in Batman's hands, and in the past, in order to study the speedster's ability, Batman secretly removed a piece of Barry's hair and obtained enough genetic information from it.
In the comics, Reverse-Flash once reverse-engineered and copied his Speed Force using only a battle suit worn by Barry Allen. Although Batman is not so heaven-defying, he has also found another way to connect to the Speed Force.
Now, it is time for them to verify the feasibility of this method.
But the result was not as smooth as they imagined.
"The 11th experiment begins!" Cyborg heard this and lowered his hand.
His hands have been repaired with Poseidon steel, and other metal parts of his body have also been upgraded with this magical metal. He is much stronger than before and should be able to withstand a few more punches from Superman.
After Cyborg pulls the hand valve, a sphere of huge amounts rises under the impact of water ion energy and rotates at high speed.
Under its disturbance, the surrounding water was pushed away, and clusters of lightning suddenly appeared in the void and were absorbed by the sphere. This was the manifestation of the divine speed force.
But the sphere only focused on absorbing, but nothing happened that Batman and Cyborg expected.
In their design, it was supposed to open the barrier between worlds and create a space-time wormhole large enough for people to pass through, but this did not happen.
"What went wrong?" Cyborg was about to doubt his life. He was sure that his calculations would not go wrong.
But after the 11th failure, Batman discovered the problem.
"It's the timeline. The approaching change of the timeline has caused the space-time barrier between the two worlds to change. It's not that there's a problem with our calculations, but that we can't calculate it at all.
Due to the assimilation of the time axes, the two parallel worlds begin to change their space-time positions. Before they end this synchronization, any calculation is useless.
The amount of calculations it requires is astronomical, and I'm afraid it would take a celestial computer to calculate it clearly.
"Is there nothing we can do?" Cyborg said unwillingly.
Batman comforted: "At this stage, we really can't do anything. Unless Barry cooperates with us on the other side, there may be a chance..."
But this Cyborg also knows that it can only rely on luck. They are completely blind here and have no idea what happened to Barry.
"Maybe there is a way to take a risk." Batman said pointedly.
"What solution?" Cyborg asked curiously. He was involved in the whole process of this plan, so why didn't he know that there was another solution?
"If we can make the ball absorb more of the Speed Force, maybe we can do it without Barry."
Cyborg frowned slightly when he heard this. The method Batman mentioned was actually to make the energy-gathering sphere absorb a larger amount of the Speed Force, so much that it could absorb the Speed Force equivalent to The Flash.
This is equivalent to creating a new "The Flash" and using the speed force to open the space-time gate here in person, which is theoretically feasible.
But the problem is that in order for the energy-gathering sphere to reach this point, it must increase its rotational speed. The higher the rotational speed, the faster it can absorb the speed force.
However, they have tried it before. There is a threshold for the speed that the energy-gathering sphere can reach. After exceeding this threshold, the speed of the sphere will remain unchanged and it will no longer be able to absorb more speed force.
And if it cannot absorb the Speed Force, the speed will not increase even more. This is a vicious circle, and Cyborg cannot figure out how to solve this problem.
But I heard Batman say: "The rotation speed of the sphere cannot be increased, not because of its original properties or material. This sphere made of Poseidon steel can withstand higher rotation speeds.
It will have the problem that its speed cannot be increased. Ultimately, it is because the connection channel between it and the Speed Force is blocked by another energy. "
Cyborg reacted now, "You mean, the magic shield of Atlantis?"
Batman nodded. The protective shield of Atlantis was put up by Poseidon and contained the rich power of the old gods. Although it could not stop Darkseid, it could stop the speed force that no one could control.
The power of the old gods and the speed force are essentially the first-level derivative energy of the divine wave. Although the power of the old gods has gradually become inferior to the speed force due to the decline of the old gods, the residual power is still there, so it still hinders the efficiency of the energy-gathering sphere in absorbing the speed force. .
But there is no way around it. After all, the protective shield is used to protect Atlantis. This is a sacrifice that must be made and a price that must be paid.
But what Batman meant made Cyborg have a bad guess in his mind, and the next moment, that guess came true.
"Cyborg, if we remove that protective shield, more Speed Force will enter here, and the energy-gathering ball will also be able to absorb more energy and reach the energy critical point."
"You must be crazy!" Cyborg looked at Batman in shock, "You know that Superman is outside looking for us like crazy, and you still come up with such an idea?"
"If Superman can borrow the Mother Box, then Atlantis' shield can't protect us."
It can be seen that Mera's behavior of protecting them really took a big risk. If she is not careful, she may ruin the few remaining members of her clan.
The current Superman is extremely ruthless, but it is not impossible to wipe them out with help.
Cyborg is very angry: What you do is unfair to those Atlanteans who are still alive!"
"Victor, we must survive before we can talk about fairness." Batman's expression was very cold, and his words were also very ruthless.
"Even if Superman never sees Atlantis in his lifetime, Apocalypse's transformation of the earth will eventually affect this place. Everyone's fate at the beginning of 430 has actually been doomed. Doing nothing is just committing suicide slowly. What does it mean? Nothing can be changed."
Even if the Atlanteans can hide here without being discovered by Superman and the demonoids, or temporarily hide in the sea in the center of the earth, the transformation of the earth by the Apocalypse star will sooner or later completely change the climate environment of the planet.
Poseidon once transformed the Atlanteans thousands of years ago so that they could breathe underwater, but can he again use his divine power to adapt Atlantis to the climate of a living hell?
If not, then the people under the sea will eventually be exterminated. Even if time is delayed, it will only increase the pain.
Why not give it a try! Bet on the chance of the success of the time shuttle. Besides, even if the protective shield is temporarily released, Superman may not be monitoring the entire world. As far as Batman knows, he is not that free.
"This matter cannot be decided by you and me. Mera and other underwater people must make the decision."
Batman frowned slightly. Cyborg's suggestion couldn't be said to be wrong. On the contrary, he was right, but he couldn't be allowed to do it.
Ask yourself, if Batman were in Mera's perspective, it would be difficult for him to make a rational choice. After all, it is always easier to sacrifice others than to sacrifice yourself.
So once Mera knows their plan, not only is it impossible for her to agree, but she may even fall out with them on the spot.
For a woman who lost her family and lover not long ago, and now can only hug each other for warmth with the remaining clan members, you cannot ask her to make such a rational and almost cold decision.
So Batman can't let Cyborg do this either.
"Sorry, Victor, I can't let you do this."
Batman quietly reached for his belt, his thumb seemed to press some button.
Cyborg instantly felt that he had lost control of his whole body, and only his head could move normally.
He looked at Batman in disbelief: "You put an electronic virus on me!".
