Chapter 327 Batman's Rapid Rescue

Chapter 327 Batman's Rapid Rescue

Chen Tao was stunned when he heard that Luther had been captured alive.

That's Luther, you're kidding me?

"Say it again?" Chen Tao didn't care about Talia for a moment.

Woman, get out!

He immediately inquired about the details:

"What is Mudface good for? Didn't I put him in charge of being Luthor's double? I warned him to focus on what really matters and stop wasting his time playing those insignificant roles, like Tim Drake. Now everyone in Metropolis thinks he can lift a car!"

"And then there's the act of disguising himself as a prostitute to sleep with those pitiful, innocent villains—is that something a human would do? It only exposes his abilities and makes some villains wary of him from now on! What's the point of such behavior? And his clones are also..."

"Never mind." Chen Tao rattled off a string of words like a machine gun, but immediately fell silent.

What's done is done, there's no point in talking about it now.

But he still wanted to figure out how Mudface had made the mistake.

The situation with Mudface is somewhat unique now.

Clayface's real name is Basil Caro. He transformed himself into a large lump of mud capable of taking on the appearance of other people through a chemical product made by his father. He is also an incurable performer, and strictly speaking, Clayface is a ruthless performance machine without a self-personality—yes, these are all old origin stories.

Of all the villains in Arkham, Clayface was already quite insane. And now his condition has become even more serious.

The story begins a little earlier.

Thanks to the "skeleton robots" created by Lucius, Clayface was able to truly break free from the predicament of "only being able to play one person at a time" for the first time. From then on, he was unstoppable and completely fell into the pit of group role-playing.

In the battle against General Zod, Chen Tao created a large number of robots and had Mudface simply impersonate the entire town, which opened up a new world for him.

Chen Tao helped him completely get rid of his bad habit of knocking others unconscious and then impersonating them.

Pretending to be someone else is so boring! Creating a town that never existed before is much more fun!

From then on, the mud-face game became more and more elaborate, with each version being as exciting as possible.

As far as Chen Tao knew, Mudface had created countless clones, most of which were originally just "dummy" figures without any identity.

But one day, one of Mudface's clones with a certain status successfully applied for a job at the National Bureau of Population Statistics. He climbed to a high position step by step by "bribing his superiors with beautiful women who were also Mudface in disguise." Now, many of his clones have become real citizens with social security accounts, which is quite absurd.

Not to mention that he's been impersonating Tim Drake, fighting crime in Metropolis... Even without using his shapeshifting abilities, Clayface, a true superhuman, could easily take down some street thugs.

The sheer number of clones has caused Mudface's thinking ability to completely stagnate. Simply put, his brain's CPU can't handle the ever-growing "graphics card" of his clones. He has to maintain those clones' normal and natural expressions when they see others, which inevitably distracts Mudface's own attention.

Therefore, most of the time, his clones that are not in "performance mode" are actually quite sluggish, like puppets without anyone controlling them. Only when a performance is needed will Mudface turn his attention to them and control the clone to move around.

Knowing this, Chen Tao ordered Mudface not to treat the matter of being Luther's double like a normal clone, and demanded that he completely control Luther's Mudface clone 24 hours a day. He even—

"But didn't I tell you before that even if Mudface is impersonating Luther, he doesn't have Luther's professional scientific knowledge? If an enemy really intends to observe him closely, no matter how good Mudface's acting is, he won't be able to hide it?"

Chen Tao asked Killer Crocodile on the phone:

"So I had him prepare five or six Luthor clones to help Luthor mitigate the probability of being attacked. Is Lex Luthor just that unlucky, that the enemy just happened to target him?"

"No, Batman."

Killer Crocodile's somewhat dejected voice came from the other end of the phone:

"This time the attacker is the Green Martian, Batman, the same Green Martian as Ron (Mars Manhunter's real name)! Except he has four arms. This guy not only has superhuman strength, but also damn telepathic abilities. We lost a supervillain named Mad Dog, and dozens of mercenaries in high-tech armor."

Killer Croc took a breath: "Invisibility, wall-penetrating, telepathy, this guy's abilities are no different from Martian Manhunter's, and he's not afraid of fire... He calls himself Martian Manhunter, Batman, you never mentioned him! This guy is already troublesome enough, what's worse is that he's accompanied by Superman, whom you mentioned before."

Chen Tao frowned.

"Lex Luthor was always so confident. He told me he could handle it and that he had a trump card up his sleeve—"

Bottom bottom bottom, that bald-headed boiled egg!

Who would have thought he couldn't handle it at all? But Superpower and Martian are just too strong... After Lex Luthor crashed, I planned to save him, but as soon as I emerged from the Red of All Beings, Superpower punched me and shattered my arm."

Killer Croc said, "If I hadn't run fast, I would be dead by now. This is no match for us, Batman."

"Okay, I got it." Batman's voice came from the other end of the phone. The voice was steady and deep, like Killer Croc shouting into an empty passageway in the sewers. Then, a deep voice echoed back like the sound of flowing water, quickly calming the still somewhat shaken Killer Croc down.

"I'll organize a rescue team for Luther, don't worry, it's not your fault," Chen Tao comforted Killer Croc. "Clean up the mess, rescue the wounded, do what you're supposed to do."

Chen Tao hung up the phone and turned to look at Talia.

"You've heard the situation; your case is just part of a larger attack. I hope you and Damian will temporarily rely on the Justice League's protection. The enemy we face is extremely, extremely dangerous."

"I understand." Talia nodded seriously. She felt very strange. The unquestionable feeling when the Batman in front of her calmly gave her orders reminded her of the Batman she used to know.

boom!

Wonder Woman's hair, which had been torn apart by Cheetah Girl and spread out like a broom, was covered in blood.

She slammed the leopard woman Barbara Minerva, who was bound by the Lasso of Truth, to the ground. The giant woman beside her had returned to normal human size and was completely unconscious.

Silver Swan is a beautiful woman with metal wings on her back, but her performance in this battle is even more dismal. Wonder Woman kicks her over when she is not yet completely unable to fight back.

"You—" Silver Swan groaned. She wanted to say something, but Diana ruthlessly stomped on her neck and she immediately fainted.

Chen Tao turned his head and saw that Jinx, Little Invention, and the others had all been taken down by Wonder Woman while he was on the phone, lying haphazardly on the ground. Even the siblings, Glimmer and Mammoth, were unconscious in the exact same position.

"I'm sorry, our date is off."

Chen Tao said to her.

He promised, "I can make it up to you next time..."

"There's no need for a next time." Wonder Woman raised her head, and Chen Tao then realized that the blood on his face wasn't hers, but someone else's.

The combative Amazonian warrior said, "Give the order. Who are we going to kill? I think fighting together is a good activity too."

"..."

That's a really simple and crude idea.

Chen Tao said, "We still don't know where Luther has been taken. This time we might be facing an evil version of the Justice League, so we need to organize our forces and track the signal I left on Luther, as long as he's still on this Earth—"

"Beep beep beep..."

Before Chen Tao could finish speaking, his phone rang again.

Chen Tao answered the phone: "Hello, this is Batman."

"Batman, this is Barry Allen, the Flash. We're in big trouble."

Outside a nuclear power plant.

The Flash, Barry Allen, and Firestorm stood back to back, warily watching the enemy before them.

One of them had a skull head, and on its head, like a firestorm, was flowing, fiery hair.

The other was dressed almost identically to the Flash, except that his bizarre hood and the bloodthirsty smile on his lips clearly told anyone who saw him that this guy was no good.

In the shadows of the surrounding bushes, Barry saw countless eyes reflecting the eerie light of the setting sun, like a pack of hungry wolves or a gathering of will-o'-the-wisps, watching their prey.

"Batman, this is a serious situation."

Barry said, "We encountered Deathstorm and Johnny Quick, the criminal syndicate members you told us about, which was dangerous enough, not to mention the large group of men they brought with them..."

The Flash stares at the enemies emerging from the forest one by one. They are all ambiguous figures, some are simply evil versions of heroes from their world, and others are a combination of several heroes and villains.

"I think they're all from Earth 3, and the opposite of our planet's superheroes. The teleportation device you left us was also intercepted by them, that Atlantean treasure called the Death Treasure: Golden Sphere... They pulled out a Poseidon trident just like Arthur's, it must be something from their Earth's Atlantis. The Golden Sphere's teleportation ability was completely broken in an Atlantean way."

And the magic circle you left behind was also broken... They came prepared.

Barry Allen, facing a pack of wolves and tigers, broke out in a cold sweat: "With Johnny Quick interfering, I can't escape even with Firestorm. You'd better come save me quickly, otherwise..."

"I see."

Chen Tao suddenly turned his head.

The plan changed, and there wasn't time to gather the other members; he had to hurry to put out the firestorm—

He believed that Wonder Woman had also heard his conversation.

Chen Tao transformed his head into a dinosaur's head, then vomited out three mother boxes.

Without the Death King's treasure, the Golden Orb, to teleport him, he had to open a sonic boom channel from Apokolips to achieve his teleportation goal.

"Let's go together," he said to Wonder Woman. "I've already notified the others to put Cheetah and the others in jail. We don't need to worry about it."

Wonder Woman naturally nodded.

As the teleportation portal opened, Chen Tao was ready to leave, but he suddenly turned around and looked at the villains, including the leopard woman and the giant woman, who were lying on the ground.

Something's not quite right.

Chen Tao thought for a moment and then changed it to Batreniak.

Then he told Talia to call Damian out, and Talia did so.

Before long, the cool kid Damian was pulled over from a secluded spot in a nearby house by his mother.

"Meet your father," Talia said, taking the other's hand.

"..." Damian stared blankly at the alien bat-man who was green all over and had three pink spots on his forehead.

"He's your father, Batman, uh..." Talia said, then turned to Chen Tao and asked, "Could you at least pretend to be a decent human being in front of your son for a moment?"

They were greeted by a shrunken beam of light from Chen Tao.

Then he continued to use the shrinking ray, shooting it at the villains lying haphazardly on the ground, first trapping the Brain Demon inside.

This is a treasure; we have to catch it first.

Chen Tao lacks telepathic abilities. Black, the purple-haired zombie who was Superman's villain, is now hanging on the Origin Wall. Even if he wanted to control Bane, it would be impossible for Bane to help him. The gorilla Grodd has telepathic abilities, but now the entire gorilla has been drained and is useless.

Therefore, even telepathic beings like Brain Demon are rare commodities for Chen Tao.

Soon, everyone shrank to the size of ants and appeared in the bottle in Chen Tao's palm. Although it looked like a bottle, it was actually a force field device that maintained the shrinking light to ensure that things shrunk by the Batreniak Shrinking Light would not be harmed by the outside world. Chen Tao transformed back into a dinosaur head, then opened his mouth and swallowed the bottle as well.

This set of smooth little combos is all about being completely inhuman.

Wonder Woman, who witnessed the entire event, was speechless.

got used to.

After doing all this, he nodded to Wonder Woman Diana, and the two of them disappeared into the sonic tunnel together.

The scene, which had been filled with a fierce fight, had now returned to calm. They had fought so brutally that not only civilians, but even the police dared not approach. Although they had all left, not a single civilian remained.

However, no sooner had Chen Tao left than a portal opened, and the two of them appeared on the battlefield where they had just been.

It was none other than Night Owl and Super Queen.

"What a pity," Supergirl said with some regret. "Batman realized what was happening and didn't leave Cheetah behind."
