Chapter 265 The real spy is actually... a supergirl
Batman's Secret Files.
Updated on October 16th as follows:
I am Batman.
I will start keeping a diary from now on.
It is known that three spies are infiltrated within the Justice League.
1:
Hank Henshaw, the mechanical superman, codename: Pilot.
The other person's brain has been modified by Darkseid, and their free will has been distorted to some extent.
The reason I kept him was that I wanted to use him to lure out Steppenwolves.
2:
CC Batson, father of Shazam Billy Batson of the Thunder. Codename: Magician
I was just an ordinary person, but now I'm being mind-controlled by the Mite. While I was dealing with matters related to the Green Light, the Mite used the Black Adam attack to steal the power of Shazam the Thunder.
Billy Batson considered him family, and therefore shared a portion of Shazam's power with him. I was also considered family by Billy (though through irony), so Billy also shared a portion of Shazam's power with me.
So, rounding down, I am a member of the Meditation Mite family.
This magical connection will put Mite at a great disadvantage. The key is to prevent Mite from discovering that Billy also shared the power of Shazam with me—I have given Billy a strong enough psychological suggestion and am monitoring him 24 hours a day to make sure he doesn't let it slip.
Even if he's about to slip up, there's a way to fix it; I sent copies to everyone in the league. This remote control has several functions, one of which is to shock Billy Batson if he says something wrong…
After all, Billy is one of the people I pay the most attention to.
My energy is limited, and it's impossible for me to monitor everyone 24 hours a day, but I've put that effort into these four people: Billy, Alfred, Lucius, and Clark Kent.
Compared to the rest of the Justice League, they appear too weak and need more protection.
3rd: Unknown. Code name: The Player.
I've narrowed down my suspicions to just Conor McGregor and Kara.
To be honest, before this, I had suspected many targets: The Flash, Green Lantern... even Alfred.
To ensure everything went perfectly, I even considered having Billy share my modified Shazam power with each of them to control them.
However, I later ruled out this option. The power of Shazam involves magic, and it would be too dangerous to rashly share it with someone who has no understanding or control over magic.
Originally, it was perfectly safe for Billy to share Shazam's power because he could only share magic with family members he approved of. However, after my alteration using the Reverse Magic, although it still achieved the effect of sharing Shazam's power, it became far more unstable and dangerous.
I already have a synchronized object like the Bat Mage, which allows me to use irony at any time, so this kind of danger is basically nonexistent for me.
However, for other people, the danger is no less than allowing someone without electrical training to directly operate a high-voltage line.
Therefore, I ultimately abandoned that option. I just wanted to monitor my teammates, not kill them. I'm Batman, not Constantine. And after careful consideration, some people, like Barry Allen the Flash, are really not suspects.
(Note: Constantine is a character from DC Comics and a member of the Justice League Dark. He is most famous for resolving crises by sabotaging his teammates, earning him the nickname "Scumbag Constantine" among fans. He was responsible for the death of Zatara, the father of the ironic magic master Zatara.)
Through long-term surveillance and probing, I eventually ruled out all these options and narrowed down the suspects to two Kryptonians.
Bringing the two of them along to deal with Aquaman's affairs is yet another test.
And now, the result of the test...
I think Supergirl Kara is more suspicious.
First of all, she is too perfect.
She actually said something that sounds like Homelander: "Shoot you all to death with lasers."
This is highly unusual.
She followed almost exactly what I wrote in the book I gave her, "How to Become the Greatest Robin," and tried to do everything exactly to my liking.
But she had no idea that I had left many traps in that book.
The methods and practices I described are simply unacceptable to people with normal values and sound mental health.
After all, this book was originally written to fool Mudface and those Arkham lunatics. In order to cater to the audience, the content of the book itself is extremely insane.
Many things in it may seem normal to crazy people, but to normal people they will only feel that their worldview has been shattered.
It's impossible for a normal person to completely follow the format and rules in this book after reading it, just like an ordinary person won't suddenly become a detective after reading two detective novels.
A mature intelligent being will have its own habitual way of doing things and its own methods of handling accidents, and it is difficult to be immediately influenced by a single book.
But Supergirl Kara is different.
When she arrived on Earth, she was no longer a baby, but a teenager, and should have her own basic values.
She hadn't been in the Justice League for long after I put her in charge, but in that short time, she read a Batman Manual I wrote and turned into a slightly deranged Harley Quinn.
Even creating a Harley Quinn requires long-term brainwashing and deception. How could a character's personality change be completed in such a short time?
If Clark Kent were in such a situation, he would simply refuse outright, even if Batman were his best friend.
His education wouldn't allow him to use "Homelander-style" methods to intimidate the public, even though he knew it would be more effective.
But Supergirl did exactly that, and there's only one answer:
Harboring ulterior motives.
She was deliberately playing the role of an ideal successor to Batman.
He fully agrees with Batman's methods and carries them forward, working seamlessly with Batman and achieving exceptional efficiency and precision in his work.
Every Robin in history would lower her head in shame upon seeing this, then cry out, "Waaaaah, I'm not a good Robin."
In fact, Chen Tao really wanted such an heir.
Long ago, he realized that the world he lived in was different from the dark world he saw in comics, which was generally moving towards the light.
In such a world, those naive and somewhat excessive superheroes might not be suitable successors to whom power can be entrusted.
Super Girl is great; she's capable, intelligent, and just like him, she has no bottom line. Chen Tao likes her a lot.
If you spend a little more time teaching the other person how to laugh wildly, they will be a perfect successor.
But... it was all just an illusion in the end.
For some reason, Chen Tao felt somewhat lonely.
He was also reflecting on himself. Given his abilities, he shouldn't have taken so long to deduce the other person's suspicious identity; he shouldn't have had such high expectations of the Supergirl; he should have…
Chen Tao himself didn't notice that his gaze had changed...
It became more vicious and indifferent, like the malice of a broken pot after hope has vanished from its sight, or like the resolute roar of a cowardly hero when there is no other choice.
Chen Tao hadn't considered whether Supergirl Kara was brainwashed by Darkseid before the spaceship even reached Earth, or what; none of that mattered in the current situation.
all in all……
As a cloud of silvery-white particles enveloped him, the red light ring ignited in Chen Tao's hand again.
He used the flames formed from energy to drive out all the mud-faced body tissues that were hidden on his body, which then condensed into a large lump in his hand.
At this moment, he was standing on Ismot, making final preparations before returning to Earth.
Chen Tao drove the blood-red flames formed from the energy of the red light towards Mud Face.
blah blah blah...
The large lump of mud lay there lifelessly, allowing its body to be consumed by the flames transformed from the red ring. Soon it began to sizzle, and then its surface gradually turned to charcoal, fluttering off the large lump to reveal the body tissues protected within, which would then continue to be charred, in a never-ending cycle.
Chen Tao stared until the mud-covered face's body tissues completely turned to ash.
From the moment we left until now, the mud-covered part of his body should have witnessed the entire transaction between him and Atositas, as well as the existence of the Blood Slaughter Bull.
This cannot be kept.
Chen Tao conducted an experiment and found that the distance by which the clay face communicates with parts of its own body is limited, spanning approximately several tens of kilometers. If the distance exceeds these tens of kilometers, unless there are other clay face limbs along the way to act as "thought relay stations," it will be unable to keep up.
So don't be fooled by the fact that Mudface seems to be everywhere on Earth and can project its consciousness at any time; in reality, it has already passed through one transfer station after another.
Therefore, when Mudface doesn't need to concentrate fully on his performance, he always looks dull and slow-thinking, because his thinking is indeed slow.
This is why Chen Tao destroyed the mudface body tissues on Ismot. The distance was too great, and the mudface bodies were beyond his control. Eliminating them was the best opportunity.
The matter of slaughtering the bull was far too important for him to take any risks.
The only people who should know about this are him and Atositas; there can be no third party, not even the seemingly harmless Mudface.
After dealing with the mud-faced matter, Chen Tao turned around and saw that Atocitas had already re-erected the cross and nailed his companions' bodies back onto it exactly as they had been.
He deliberately dispelled the red light uniform from his body, returning to his naked red state. Then he climbed onto the cross, and Chen Tao nailed iron nails into his hands. Then, he used ironic magic to make the ring on his finger invisible.
With everything ready, he opened the portal created by the Death King's treasure, the Golden Sphere, and appeared directly in front of Supergirl and Superboy in one step.
He deliberately revealed the view from the other side of the doorway so that both of them could see Athocitas pinned to the cross.
Just as Chen Tao was about to say something, his gaze fell on Superboy Connor's face.
Chen Tao: ?
He had only been on Ismot for a short while when Superboy Connor, who had been jumping around excitedly, looked like he was about to die. His face was covered in the green of kryptonite, and he was touching his neck with a look of utter dejection.
"..." Chen Tao closed the portal behind him after making sure that both of them had seen it.
Then he looked at the chemical waste monster floating on the sea not far away.
The most important characteristic of this monster is not how powerful it is, but that when you attack it, it releases chemical waste that pollutes the environment. Its main attack is a combination of mental attack and environmental protection buff, making it a difficult type to deal with even for Kryptonians.
In particular, Chen Tao guessed that if the other party wanted to make some big moves, they would definitely not ignore targeting the two Kryptonians, and Kryptonite was an inevitable and traditional feature.
But he hadn't expected that before he even returned, Supergirl and Connor would have resolved the matter, and in such a way—
"Batman, I'm so angry!" Superboy Connor started complaining as soon as he saw Batman:
"That crazy woman! She knew perfectly well that the Chemical Scrap Monster had definitely swallowed Kryptonite, yet she still tricked me into using Frost Breath to freeze it. As a result, I got sprayed by the Chemical Scrap Monster, while she hid behind and stole the prize!"
Chen Tao glanced sideways at Supergirl, "You're really putting in a lot of effort to imitate my methods, aren't you?"
But he ultimately chose to praise Supergirl, and a new Batman emerged from the already dead chemical waste monster below:
【Chemical Waste Bat】
[Hazard Level: C+]
[Introduction: In the main universe, the Chemical Waste Monster was originally the result of an accidental chemical experiment. However, in a certain dark multiverse, things took a slight turn.]
In that most classic origin story, when Batman chased the stage actor disguised as Red Hood into the Ace factory, he didn't fall into the chemical waste pool alone; he was embracing someone else… that person was Batman.
[And that bucket of chemical waste didn't turn the stage actors into the Joker as it did in the main universe, nor did it make Batman laugh maniacally as many people expected. Instead, it produced a strange change that no one could have predicted.]
[The Joker, Batman, and a barrel of chemical waste—these three things miraculously fused together in a violent explosion, transforming into a monster called the Chemical Waste Bat.]
Another strange Batman. Chen Tao casually put it away.
Then he turned to Supergirl and asked, "How's Aquaman doing now?"
Supergirl said, "The hairy man crossed Atlantis and then headed back to shore. Aquaman is getting beaten up like crazy trying to stop him."
"How long have you been beaten up?"
"I don't know, but I won't die."
Hearing the Supergirl's answer, Chen Tao truly felt like he was talking to himself.
Why does that tone sound so familiar?
"Stop fooling around, let's go rescue Aquaman Arthur right away."
Chen Tao said.
He hurriedly used the golden orb to open the portal and then stepped inside.
Behind the door were Aquaman, his face bruised and swollen, and the hairy man roaring to the sky.
