Chapter 358 Night Owl Can't Understand (The Hero Who Talks to Fish Doesn't Exist in the Title)
"Because I need to utilize..."
"What specific weapon should be modified?"
Night Owl sighed. He knew that even if Superpower's IQ had dropped, a vague explanation wouldn't be enough to get him to back down, but he had already prepared an excuse before coming.
"A kind of magic cannon."
He explained, half-jokingly, "This magical cannon can create terrifying explosions on a planetary scale. I plan to use it to snipe the monster that's about to arrive in this new universe from Earth 3."
He softened his tone and said, "I want to do my part for our cause, Ayl. While you were consuming kryptonite, I was doing what I had to do."
Night Owl noticed a flicker in Superpower's expression.
Things were easier than he had imagined. In the past, Superpower would have attacked him by now to warn him not to challenge its authority.
"So you think the right thing to do is use Alexander Luther to build a magical cannon? Without my permission?"
The owl finally realized something was wrong.
His visions of the future and his deals with the anti-surveillance agents clouded his thinking, preventing him from realizing that Superpower was no different from the past. He had confined his mind with a flawed judgment, and only now was he realizing it.
In an instant, a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to Night Owl's brain. He realized that Superpower hadn't attacked him, which meant that the other party intended to kill him.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
"Your heart's pounding, Thomas. Hey, it's been years since I called you Thomas, remember? Back when we first created the Crime Syndicate, we always addressed each other by our real names, but to maintain an air of mystery in front of our subjects, we eventually switched to using code names. It gave us a damn air of authority, but it took us further and further astray, didn't it, brother?"
Superpower walked over and appeared in front of Night Owl, who was standing still. The two faced each other, nose to nose.
"Sit down," Superba said.
The owl did not move.
He was weighing whether to obey Superpower's orders or to launch a desperate counterattack now.
"sit."
Superba said it for the second time.
His eyes burned red, yet he still wore a smile.
"What's wrong, bro? Don't you want to sit down?"
Night Owl leaped into the air, threw a smoke grenade, and then turned and fled. He rushed towards the door, and countless weapons rose up in the Crime Syndicate meeting hall, firing at Superman. But Superman was unharmed; he blew away the thick smoke, which instead flowed back into the area around the fleeing Night Owl.
The Night Owl Armor's gas mask popped up, and he saw the Superpower, its eyes glowing red, flying towards him like a demon through the thick smoke. In an instant, it grabbed his armor and tore it apart like straw: "What's wrong...?"
"Good brother!"
With a tearing sound, Night Owl's armor shattered like a piece of paper, ripped in two by the Superpower, and blood gushed onto the ground like an explosion...
Night Owl blinked, ceasing his calculations about the consequences of the battle.
Damn it, even if he loses, he will never sit and wait to die. He absolutely cannot just stubbornly submit; he must…
Sit down in your seat like a well-behaved kitten.
Night Owl meticulously calculated the range of every movement, including every gesture, to ensure that each action would reduce Superpower's hostility.
There was no aggression in his eyes, but his heart was roaring wildly.
Damn it, how is this possible? Why is Superman like an idiot in front of Batman, but suddenly more shrewd than ever when he's with me?
This is not fair!
In a dark corner of the hall, some powdered kryptonite mixed with particles of heavy metals clung to a damp, cold moss plant in the corner.
Soon the moss began to grow lush and green at a rate that exceeded normal development, quickly breaking through the growth limits that moss should have and becoming as tall as grass.
An insect crawled by and was accidentally caught in the growing moss. With a low crackling sound, and amidst the gruesome sound of the insect's flesh being chewed, a tiny eyeball made of the insect's flesh remnants condensed at the top of the moss, with a faint metallic sheen.
After much effort, Chen Tao finally connected to the footage of the crime syndicate base. This eyeball trick was a technique Bane had used before, and after combining it with the power of the Metal Spirit, it became even more concealed.
Unless Superpower could scan the entire hall with X-rays, even he would have a hard time detecting it.
However, being able to connect here was still somewhat beyond Chen Tao's expectations.
Because if he can connect here, it means that this base is now within the Earth's sphere of influence in this universe, or at least not too far from Earth, otherwise elemental forces from Earth could not possibly reach this place.
It's important to understand that elemental forces like the red of all living beings and the green of all things are not exclusive to Earth; other planets also possess them. Earth's elemental forces cannot extend into star systems shrouded by the elemental forces of other planets.
However, he still has difficulty pinpointing the exact location of this base. Is it some unknown technology from the parallel universe Earth 3 Father Box?
He had already heard what Night Owl said, but he didn't know how much of it was true and how much was false; he had to wait and see. Superpower pressed Night Owl further before he could reveal what he was hiding.
Everyone believed that Superpower was also eager to know. And since Night Owl had deliberately acted foolishly this time, Superpower would definitely not let this opportunity pass. He would definitely use this as a pretext to thoroughly figure out what Night Owl was doing.
"That's right...that's right...that's exactly it."
Superpower walked up behind Night Owl. He patted the man on the shoulder, then looked down at him and placed both hands on Night Owl's shoulders.
That hand, strong enough to break steel, was now resting precisely on the softest spot on the owl's neck.
Night Owl suppressed the urge to retaliate, knowing that Superpower was now truly intent on killing. His encounter with Superpower had been too sudden, and Night Owl knew this wasn't the time to reflect on his carelessness, but he couldn't help thinking that way.
If he wore the armor he made himself...
But Night Owl quickly regained control of his heartbeat and breathing. He knew he was facing a monster beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. However, after so many years of dealing with this being, Night Owl had long since mastered the key to deceiving it.
Normal people believe they can control themselves. They believe they can control their own hands, their own thoughts, behaviors, actions, and personality.
But what about hormones? What about adrenaline secretion? What about heartbeat? What about the brain's bioelectric waves?
What about fear?
They cannot control these things; their understanding of their own bodies is too superficial. Only those who are truly skilled in training can master their bodies, like the Night Owl.
The rapid heartbeat and even the accelerated brain activity made lying to Superba almost an impossible task. He could see through a person's internal organs as soon as he opened his eyes, and even see the mucus on the kidneys clearly.
But the owl can do it.
He even went so far as to have an affair with Supergirl, and after a quick wash, he would come to see Superba.
The other party remains completely unaware of this.
He can do it.
“I don’t quite understand, Superpower,” Nite Owl said. “I know you don’t like Alexander Luthor, but I’m sincerely offering my opinion. We brought it from Earth-3 to this new universe not to treat it as a decoration, but if we need to use it, I don’t think we should.”
He tried to turn his head to look at Superba standing behind him, but Superba forcefully pressed his head down so he couldn't move.
That's right, that's the opportunity.
The owl controlled itself and began to release an aura of fear.
"Everything I've done is for the Crime Syndicate, Superpower. I'm making this request to you openly and honestly. If you don't agree, I can cancel this plan. You are the leader of the Crime Syndicate."
Superb began pressing down on Night Owl's neck repeatedly, like a gentle massage.
"So... what evidence do you have?"
"What do you mean?"
"What evidence do you have that you are manufacturing such a thing?"
"Show me the data. A magic cannon. Right? There should be blueprints, basic plans, right?"
Superba said, "Let me see. You must have been preparing for this for a long time. Keeping it from me—"
"Superb, I haven't been hiding anything from you, it's just that this thing wasn't even properly made before—"
"Uh-huh," Superba interrupted him.
Night Owl felt the Superpower tighten a bit; his armor groaned, and even his throat groaned.
The owl was having some difficulty breathing.
"You've been preparing for this criminal syndicate for a long time... so you should be able to produce something now," Superpower said.
"Then take the stuff out. Your armor has a projection function, now."
"Hehehehe..."
Night Owl started to gasp for breath as Superbar pinched him.
He immediately struggled to press the button on the portable projector on his arm.
His gaze was lowered, and in a corner where Superb couldn't see him, his eyes were cold.
Fortunately... fortunately he had made preparations beforehand.
What he said to Superpower wasn't entirely false; it contained some truth.
Fortunately, this information is verifiable; fortunately, he had prepared for a long time; fortunately, he used this as an excuse to try to seize control of Alexander Luther, rather than using any other method.
So Superbar looked up and, together with Chen Tao, who was manipulating the eyeball flower in the corner of the room, began to read Night Owl's plan, which he had projected onto the table from the projector on his arm armor:
"The Termination Plan...detonating a universe...using the entire universe as explosives...to stop the Anti-Monitor? How is that even possible?"
……
……
……
Berelf Prison.
Chen Tao opened the blast channel, but suddenly he stood there blankly for a while, and then his head turned into the shape of a car charger, and then a blue display screen appeared.
He stood there in that position for a while, until The Flash ran back to the scene.
Not far away, Amanda Waller organized the entire suicide squad to dig through the rubble. Many rescuers arrived at the scene while Chen Tao was in a daze. There were screams, blood, and dead bodies being dug out everywhere.
In this battle, Berelf Prison was essentially rendered useless:
90% of the prisoners are dead, so what's the point of having a prison?
Of course, supervillains are an exception. Almost all of the large group of superhumans Amanda Waller had painstakingly gathered escaped in this battle that nearly destroyed the entire prison. It could be said that Amanda Waller's years of accumulated resources were completely wiped out in one fell swoop. If she hadn't hidden some important items underground in Berelf Prison, her losses would have been even greater.
"Batman, Batman?"
Chen Tao turned his head, his head quickly shifting from the huge display screen of the car's computer back to his normal pointed ears.
He turned to look at The Flash: "What is it?"
"About Aquaman," the Flash said, his expression somewhat serious.
Chen Tao frowned.
He had been preoccupied with the question of the night owl, ignoring the fact that the Talking Fishman had disappeared at the start of the battle.
This isn't his fault. While Talking Fish Man isn't weak in combat, his weaknesses are very obvious—so obvious that even when controlled, he can quickly defeat his opponent. This isn't like Martian Manhunter; his weakness is entirely psychological.
If you didn't pay much attention to Aquaman Arthur from the beginning, then ignoring him is perfectly normal if he doesn't attack you.
"Arthur resisted the control of Eclipse at the start of the battle."
Barry said, "He simply turned and left the battlefield."
"So now?"
"So now Aquaman Arthur is missing," said Barry the Flash. "I can't get in touch with him, at least not for now."
"A guard who survived the earthquake told me that I saw him running like a madman through the surrounding jungle. That guard ran out of the Berelf prison area immediately. And according to my analysis of the traces he left behind, he knocked down more than 10 large trees like a bull and rushed straight into the sea."
"Then……"
"They just disappeared like that."
Barry said.
"This is unreasonable." Chen Tao frowned.
"How could Aquaman Arthur possibly resist the control of Eclipse?"
And indeed, that's the case. Even Wonder Woman, Diana Prince, a demigod, couldn't resist the magical control of Eclipse. So what makes Aquaman Arthur think he can? Just because he's bathing in the sea?
Although Aquaman Arthur is also associated with magic, no matter what, Aquaman Arthur's magic resistance could not possibly be higher than Wonder Woman's.
Then Chen Tao realized another problem:
"So even the magical shield that Eclipse set up around Berelf Prison didn't stop him?"
"I don't know," the Flash said. "The guard who saw Aquaman Arthur didn't see how he broke through the magic barrier either."
"He only saw the other side speeding away, blowing the trees into the sky like grass."
Chen Tao slapped his forehead: "Got it, I'll find a way to bring Aquaman Arthur back."
He muttered, "Okay, okay. But now I should at least go and get those people I threw to Red Lantern Atositas, right?"
He rambled on and on, like a dissatisfied child with his back to the Flash, not wanting the other to see the gloomy expression on his face.
The matter of Night Owl, the matter of Aquaman.
That's fucking awful.
