The Death Knell

Just as everyone in Zhenglian visited the earth in the sixth dimension and enjoyed the beauty brought by various harmonious societies, somewhere underground in Gotham, Su Ming was once again knocked out by the Laughing Bat.

"Gan, has the tactic of destroying joints at close range been seen through..."

The Laughing Bat can use the speed force. This is known information, so Su Ming stood there and planned to use a flaw to make Laughing take the bait.

However, the Laughing Bat did not take the usual path at all. Logically speaking, he would rush directly from the front to get the closest. However, he rushed to the wall on the other side, stepped on the wall and circled half of the field, and launched an attack from behind Su Ming.

The smoke bombs secretly arranged when hanging upside down from the ceiling had no effect, and Su Ming was knocked away without surprise.

He made another big hole.

There was no time to breathe. He immediately rolled on the ground to avoid the incoming heat vision attacks, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.

A set of super armor, paired with a master of tactics and fighting like Laughter, is really a bit disgusting.

Batman has many sets of armors. There is a floor in the Batcave dedicated to storing these armors. If they were numbered using mk, they would probably be numbered from 1 to over 50.

From the simpler Rogue Armor, Insider Armor, and Bat Riot Armor, to the more specialized Anti-Mudface Armor, Anti-Superman Armor, Luthor Prototype Armor, all the way to the Fenrir Armor of the Alliance, and used to fight against Hell Bat Armor, a cosmic threat.

He has many, many options, it's just that, generally speaking, Batman doesn't wear them.

It's definitely not to save fuel or electricity bills. He doesn't wear armor just because it's not necessary. What kind of armor can he wear when he can defeat an enemy with bare hands and using his brain?

But the Laughing Bat obviously didn't follow the routine and directly put on the strongest suit.

And currently, in addition to the speed force, heat vision, super strength, and super physical and magic resistance, this suit of armor that laughs wildly should also have abilities that have not been shown.

The Speed ​​Force alone is tricky enough.

Generally speaking, it is easier for speedsters to deal with speedsters. They just need to race. Those who fall behind are likely to be directly devoured by the God of Speed.

If non-speedsters want to deal with people who run that fast, they usually have to rely on calculation or cunning tricks, or magic can also work.

However, the armor of the Laughing Bat has been fully reinforced with metal. Although it is not known whether it is plated or enchanted, its magic resistance is really high.

Direct offensive magic no longer works, so you can only add auxiliary magic to yourself, or balance the strength of both sides by changing the field.

"Turning people upside down, ten consecutive rounds of greasy spells."

Su Mingfei, who teleported out of the pit, avoided the Laughing Attack in mid-air. At the same time, he traded with the Upside Down Man again to convert the magic power stored in it into some spells that were not available in the DC world.

Grease is relatively popular in the world of Dungeons and Dragons. It is widely used by mages there along with Spider Web and Colorful Jet.

To put it simply, its principle is to suddenly create a pool of black oil under the enemy's feet, causing the enemy to slip.

Among the users of the Speed ​​Force, except for Wally Bai who has special skills, everyone else needs friction to make the Speed ​​Force take effect.

Behind Su Ming, magic circles except for circles of trumpets appeared, like transparent plates emitting light purple light. They flashed for a moment, and then a large amount of black viscous liquid was sprayed into the room with a popping sound. every corner.

With these oils, even if Laughing's speed power is useless, Su Ming can repeat his old tricks even if the battlefield is changed.

Hellbat is a set of power armor, and all power armors have one thing in common. Whether it is for counterweight or for installing boosters, the soles of its feet are made of hard metal material.

Wearing iron-soled shoes to walk on oily ground? That was really a shame when I was a kid.

After completing this task, Su Ming had time to check the injury. The bones were naturally fine, but some of the nerves and tendons seemed to be broken, and half of the body was now slightly slower to respond.

"Tsk, tsk, it is indeed a death knell." The Laughing Bat's armor also flew up, giving up the use of the speed force: "Use oil to eliminate friction, tempt me to use fire to burn the oil, and then delay the time for the two of us. Roast them together in the fire, and then let me guess, you plan to cool down quickly and use hot and cold to cause the metal to fatigue or break. As long as there is a gap in the armor, you can start, right?"

Su Ming frowned under the mask. He had indeed considered this.

The hell bat armor was cast in the sun and then quenched in the deep sea of ​​the earth. It was not that Su Ming looked down on the earth's ocean. The key was that compared with the sun, was this quenching step weak?

Through the combination of quenching and tempering, key values ​​such as the stiffness, toughness and fatigue strength of the metal can be significantly changed.

The quenching of the Hell Bat Armor is not a problem, but it is a bit weak compared to other aspects.

So the tactics were naturally designed to target weak links. If the Laughing Bat hadn't planned to set fire to it, Su Ming had planned to use the spider web technique to seduce him.

The temperature can rise and fall as much as you want with magic assistance. Su Ming also has a way to protect himself. As for whether it is effective, you have to try it to know.

However, this fire can only be set by the other party. If you light the fire yourself, the purpose will be too obvious. But I didn't expect that even so, the Laughing Bat would guess the subsequent plan.

The other party flew up directly, revealing Deathstroke's plan, which meant it wouldn't work.

Fortunately, the opponent also gave up using the Speed ​​Force, which at least brought the speed of both parties to the same level.

The Laughing Bat doesn't have Barry's restrictions on himself. When he uses the Speed ​​Force, he doesn't care whether it will turn back time or affect the outside world. He can run as fast as he wants.

The magic floating cloak can reach that speed, but the underground buildings here, and Gotham City above, cannot withstand that kind of torment.

So now everyone no longer needs speed, and we have returned to a fairer platform.

Su Ming moved his neck and held the giant sword in his hand a few times: "Stop talking nonsense, let's continue the second round."

"Alas, you are actually quite pathetic. You have been working hard for false things, just like you are building your own dreams."

Laughing's armor began to deform, becoming more angular and sharp, the palms gradually turned into sharp claws, and silver light also lit up on his fingertips:

"If you could open your eyes and see the reality, maybe you would understand me, right? But you probably won't have this chance."

"Haha, you think what you see is reality, maybe it's just what someone wants you to see?" Su Ming also began to let Strangler change the shape of his armor, becoming thinner and more flexible: "Think about which ones are real and which ones are Illusion is equivalent to being trapped in a logical loop of dimensions and time. The simplest explanation is that everything I see is reality."

Vibranium 80% cannot stop X metal. One is a cosmic meteorite and the other is a creation metal. The gap still exists objectively.

Instead of turning yourself into a turtle shell and falling into the trap of laughter, you might as well not wear armor at all and just rely on your bones and self-healing ability to fight the opponent.

Su Ming didn't believe that the laughing Hell Bat Armor really had no side effects. It was a set of armor that burned life force.

"It's useless for you to lie to me. You have never been an idealist. After I kill you, I will find a way to read the memories in your brain. Maybe it will be of great help to my research? Hahaha.... ..”

The two talked trash to each other, trying to influence each other's mind, but it obviously didn't work. In the end, they still had to fight to see the truth.

The sound of metal clashing against metal echoed in the darkness again.

............................

"It's changed a lot here. In my impression, Gotham won't be like this..." Batman couldn't find the right words for a moment.

"Light?" A voice came from behind.

The two of them stood on a high observation deck, which was an observation deck suspended in the air. Although there was no Wayne Group logo hanging, he knew that similar ideas should be of the same origin.

Just like the relationship between the young Batman behind him and himself now.

"Yes, the city is clean and orderly. It is completely different from what I remember." Batman looked at his feet. It was a transparent material. Looking down on the city from here, it was like standing on the clouds.

The new Batman nodded: "Yeah, that's probably what you wanted it to be, and we've never forgotten it."

Bruce nodded noncommittally, a flash of emotion in his eyes, but it was well concealed, as always.

"You became Batman. It seems that I am dead. Except for Hawkgirl, Ron, and Superman, everyone in Zhenglian is dead in your past."

Batman behind him wiped his mask back, and pushed the hood with pointed ears back on his head, revealing the face of Dick Grayson, the former Nightwing.

"It's your sacrifice that brought all this, we..."

"Needless to say, at least it seems worth it now. My question now is, where are the villains of Gotham?"

Dick raised his arm and pressed a button on the terminal under his arm. The flying platform they stood on began to move quickly, bringing them above the familiar river mouth delta.

It's just that it's no longer the gloomy walls and buildings, nor are there any armed guards or crazy patients. The former Arkham Sanatorium has become the current Alfred Sanitarium.

"They have all been cured, and there is no longer a soil for crime in Gotham, and Arkham is gradually deserted. Alfred's health deteriorated a few years ago, but he refused our physical transformation using technology and magic. , passed away peacefully surrounded by all of us.”

Dick said with a somewhat nostalgic expression. At the same time, he lowered the flying platform and walked down gracefully. He greeted the people passing by, took Bruce with him to sit down at a table under the shade of a tree, and asked the waiter for two drinks. coffee.

"So in order to commemorate him, we transformed Arkham into a garden-style sanatorium, which is open to all Gotham citizens for free. Now, it is a real sanatorium."
