The Death Knell

In an unknown swamp somewhere in the universe, the Legion of Destruction has been paying attention to the movements of the earth, and naturally saw most members of the Justice League walking out of the underground of Gotham City Hall.

"It seems that the Laughing Bat has failed again." Brainiac said to Luther beside him. In the dim room, their bald heads were glowing with a faint light.

Alien doesn't mean anything special, it's just a bland statement of the fact.

Luther was not surprised either. He watched his team members gather around Papetua while he fumbled for a special small box.

"As expected, the Laughing Bat did not use his full strength. He was just testing Batman. It turns out that Batman became more terrifying after the death of the Joker. The troublemaker did not deceive them. Things went as we expected. some changes.”

Brainiac held his arms and floated aside: "Although Batman infected with the Joker's toxin is very good, I still have to say that that is just mortal wisdom."

Luther smiled: "You can't ask every human being to have a high IQ like me, and neither can Batman."

"The World Forger plans to reshape a universe in the sixth dimension to hide the truth, but I still prefer the fourth dimension. Maybe it wasn't the truth before, but I think we can turn it into the truth."

Brainiac also simulated a smile, but he just mobilized a few circuits and sent some signals to simulate an expression. It always looked like he was smiling but not smiling.

But it has no skin, just liquid metal, and the same goes for flesh. There are either circuits or pipelines underneath the metal shell.

Luther shrugged and made a helpless gesture, telling Brainiac not to force his expression:

"It's really ridiculous. Who does the World Forger think he can deceive? Papetua? Or us who hold the handle to the door to destruction? What he did is meaningless, and he also attracted the victorious Seven Warriors who are best at dealing with dimensional issues. Go deal with him. I guess this is Deathstroke’s idea. Batman doesn’t like asking the wizarding world for help because it’s unscientific and he can’t understand it.”

The green alien put away his smile, just cut off the transmission of some electrical signals, and restored the original appearance of the liquid metal:

"I can't understand how magic works, but as long as you treat them as a variable, it's not a problem to simulate the upper and lower limits of the effect first, and then bring it into regular calculations. Magic is not an illogical force, it still exists in a certain way. It follows a certain pattern."

Luther nodded noncommittally. It was indeed impossible for a soulless machine to understand magic, but even if he didn't know magic, he was still the smartest human being, so it didn't matter:

"Cersei said that the most powerful sorcerer on the earth now is Zatanna, followed by Alberta, and then herself. I think she doesn't know about Deathstroke yet. He is probably planning to eliminate her as a powerful sorcerer. Where are the remnants of Carter’s witchcraft.”

"We have been observing them for a long time. Deathstroke is indeed just as you said, just a mortal. In fact, he should have killed Diana and taken away half of the energy left by Hecate in her... That might allow him to To become a real spellcaster, he is not the half-hearted person he is now, and his choice is not the optimal solution to maximize interests."

Brainiac was floating like a pillar, his tone of voice unchanged.

Luther placed the box in his hand on a table nearby, reached out and touched the underside of the table. A projected keyboard appeared in the air, and he began to type codes quickly on it:

"This is human beings, this is the limitation of emotions on people, even cold-blooded mercenaries are no exception. Fortunately, I will not let the hormones in my body interfere with my judgment."

"What are you going to do with this thing?" Brainiac focused on Luther's movements.

"Things have changed, and of course we have to adjust our plans. We originally planned to let Bat Mite and Troublemaker exchange children, but now, he has other uses."

Luther smiled mysteriously and typed the last few codes. Suddenly, various defensive barriers on the round platform lit up. Not only did a cage made of black diamonds descend from the sky, but Brainiac's mind-controlling mechanical octopus also flew over.

Then, Luther raised his armor: "Now, open sesame."

After saying that, he opened the box in his hand.

boom!

A puff of smoke exploded from the box, and like a cartoon character appearing on stage, a small dark shadow jumped out of the box.

"Here are the die-hard Batman fans! I am the Dark Knight Bat-Elf in the five-dimensional world! Oops! (⊙o⊙)!"

Before he finished speaking, he hit the top of the black diamond cage. The expression on his face was as exaggerated as a cartoon character, with his eyes bulging and his mouth open like a portrait in Edvard Munch's "The Scream".

He covered his head and stood up, still sucking air from his mouth. When he looked up, he found that not only was he not Batman, but a group of villains surrounded him.

He immediately wanted to use his five-dimensional ability to escape, but Luther was already prepared, so how could he let him run away?

He has used all the counter-five-dimensional methods that the Justice League can think of, and he also has some exclusive patents, just for a scene like today.

If conditions hadn't allowed him to do so, he would have launched a project to clone fifth-dimensional humans.

"Hello, Batmite, are you glad to see me?"

Luther's friendly smile was no different from that of a demon in the eyes of the bat spirit, but no matter how he tried to activate his abilities, his abilities were like a cow entering the sea, with no reaction at all.

Seeing the little devil in a bat uniform squatting on the spot and holding his hands hard, his face turned red as if he was constipated, Luther smiled even more happily.

"It's useless. I guess you want to turn me into a light bulb, but I not only improved the black diamond cage, but also improved the mind shielding device, Crux Thought Octopus, not to mention the magic and stasis barriers, you Now that our thoughts and abilities are separated, it will be useless no matter how long you try.”

While saying proudly, Luther stretched out his fingers and tapped the outer edge of the cage, as if he were teasing a cat or dog through the cage.

"Villain! What do you want to do to me? Don't expect to get information about Batman from me!"

Papetua was hidden by Luther before summoning the bat spirit. At this time, Leopard Girl and the others could only gather around to watch the fun of the five-dimensional little devil.

This guy is like a smaller version of Batman, but has some weight management issues.

Luthor clutched his chest and showed a sad expression: "What you said really makes me sad. Why should I deal with Batman? You also know that I have helped him a lot, and I am still a member of the Justice League. Well, remember?"

The bat spirit lowered his two little arms and looked at Luther suspiciously. The bald man seemed to be right, but as Batman's number one fan, he must imitate his idol, and he must be suspicious!

"I do not believe you!"

The corners of the bat spirit's mouth turned downwards, and he pulled up a corner of his cloak to cover his round belly.

Luther turned his head and looked at Brainiac beside him: "Show him."

Without any nonsense, Brainiac immediately controlled several machines to fly over and played to the bat spirit the scene when the alien Poseidon invaded the earth.

His projection equipment is extremely advanced, and all kinds of tragic scenes seem to be happening around everyone. They are so real. Not only the screams and the sounds of wind and rain, but also the smell of blood and the salty smell of seawater are simulated exactly the same.

Luther raised his head and looked up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle, and sighed slightly: "We have suffered unprecedented losses. I didn't mean to trick you with a five-dimensional signal source, but we really need help. As you can see All this is just to prevent you from getting too excited and unwilling to listen to our explanation."

"Really?"

After the playback ended, Bat Spirit seemed to still be immersed in those tragic scenes. He didn't expect that so many things had happened since he hadn't been to the fourth dimension for a while.

But the situation in his fifth dimension is not good now. All dimensions are included in a multiverse. Although he can escape to the omnipotent universe and find a safe super universe to settle down, this DC multiverse is his home. ah.

Luthor has indeed reached an alliance with Batman more than once when facing external threats in the past, so it seems that he should be no exception this time.

Luther noticed the bat spirit's wavering, and he immediately looked at him with sincere eyes: "Of course, believe me, everything we do is for humanity!"

"Then what do you want me to do?" The bat spirit came closer and grabbed the bars of the cage with both hands.

Luther smiled and knelt down on one knee:

"It's very simple for you. I want you to help me restore power supply, water supply, transportation, and communications around the world. These are the basic living conditions that modern humans need. You know, although the alien bad guys were defeated by me, But I’m just an ordinary person, and I really can’t help people around the world.”

"The enemies have been eliminated and the floods have receded, but many humans are still dying due to lack of food, water or medicine. There is no means of communication, and they cannot be told where to get help. Every time he thinks of this, Luther feels like a knife. .”

Brainiac read on the side with an expressionless expression.

The bat spirit tilted his head, forgetting to even imitate Batman, with a puzzled expression on his face: "That's it? I can actually restore the earth to the way it was before."

"No, thank you for your kindness, but in times of crisis, what human beings need is self-reliance and self-reliance. You only need to do what I said. Please let us solve the rest by ourselves. This is the dignity of human beings."

Luther looked serious and magnanimously declined further help.

"Okay, let me out, and I will help you after verifying the situation." The bat spirit held his chin and thought for a while, and quickly agreed to the request.

It's really not difficult at all for him.

Luther also followed the agreement and released him from the cage, generously allowing him to verify it. Since Papetua was hidden in a device isolated from the world, he bet that the bat spirit would not care about it. Check it out here.

That's it, this is not the earth. You can see there is nothing here with the naked eye. The bat spirit immediately activates his ability to observe the situation on the earth.

Sure enough, the situation in Gotham is even worse than Luther said, and the floods haven't receded yet!

The bat spirit immediately activated his ability, and in just an instant, all the earth's infrastructure was restored, as if he was going back in time.

The big screen in New York's Times Square turned on, the landscape lights outside Gotham City's Iceberg Restaurant turned on, and the lighthouse on the cliff at Ci'en Harbor also turned on.

And dense various electrical signals instantly filled the air everywhere on the earth.

After people discovered that their mobile phones had signal, they immediately began to contact relatives or the media. They had too much to say.

So much has happened in the past few days that everyone is on the verge of collapse. They have too many problems that they want to vent online or on the airwaves.

"Solved." The bat spirit clapped his hands and walked up and down the floor with his chest raised: "No need to thank me, because... I am a bat spirit!"

Luther showed a sincere smile: "No, I still want to thank you from the bottom of my heart... You have helped mankind embark on the right path, haha..."

"Um?"

"Nothing. By the way, your old enemy Troublemaker is now in the Hall of Justice. He not only wants to torture Superman, but also Batman. I can't deal with him."

Luther seemed to suddenly remember something, patted his forehead and said eagerly.

"What?!"

The bat spirit immediately became angry. Although they were both the two strongest five-dimensional demons, hadn't they agreed at the beginning that Superman would belong to him and Batman would belong to him?

It's really too much to cross the line!

"Go and take care of him quickly. If you go late, I'm afraid Batman's body will be..." Luther turned his palms, which meant that the ashes were blown away by the wind.

"Bye-Bye!"

The bat spirit dropped a word and immediately disappeared in front of everyone.

The expression on Luther's face gradually turned ferocious, and he let out an uncontrollable low laugh. However, it only lasted a few seconds. He still swallowed his laughter and said in a low tone:

"The Fortress of Destruction has jumped again. Let's change places. By the way, Brainiac, the idiom about heart being cut by a knife is a good one."

Brainiac simulated a smile in response: "I copied the exact words from the Earth database. I don't have an organ like a heart, but it sounds like it should be quite painful."

"Haha, what a joke." The Fortress of Destruction moved to another place, and Luther turned around and praised his allies. Then he looked at the other people: "Next, let's start taking action to transform our world. Open a new page!"
