Chapter 2151: Battle of Two Cities! (XVIII)
Batman is the best scientist in the world, this is an indisputable fact, but most people rarely realize this, most people just think he is a vigilante with a not-so-normal brain.
But how else can we say that people have quick wits?
A few days before Batman came back, many people realized that there was a big problem with the power system that allowed Gotham to fly into the sky.
If it were in another city, it would have caused panic in the whole city, because Gotham is now floating in space. Once it falls, let alone what kind of disaster the fall of such a large city will bring to the ground, at least the people in the city will definitely die.
But for the people of Gotham, you can live but not live. We have only been free for a few days, and we fell like this. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing for us?
For the precious freedom, they began to repair the system urgently, but limited by the fact that this system was made temporarily, no matter how much optimization is done, it can only be patched on the basis, but the basis determines that this system is neither stable nor efficient enough.
The members of Arkham Asylum have basically thought of all the ways they can think of, and even Robin has participated in the repair work, but unfortunately, there is a limit to what you can wish for. It is good enough to let them fly once, and it is impossible to stay in the sky for a long time.
Several top scientists in Gotham held a meeting and found that the fate of falling is inevitable, but fortunately they brought the Joker to the meeting. The king of Gotham comedy once again brought them good news - when you are in doubt, find Batman.
The people in Gotham suddenly realized, yes! Batman is the greatest scientist in the world! Is there any power system problem that he can't solve?
Batman happened to come back at this time, and the lunatics gathered together to discuss that they usually make trouble for Batman, so this time they have to show some sincerity when they ask for help.
So there was a scene in Gotham City with gongs and drums, firecrackers, red flags and crowds of people. The patients of Arkham Asylum led the people of Gotham to welcome Batman back to his loyal Gotham, and hoped that the future of Gotham would be better and better under Batman's leadership.
Walking on the streets of Gotham with cheers and streamers flying all over the sky, Batman's mother tongue is speechless.
They didn't notify me when they moved, and they asked me to fix the new house when it broke down. Who am I? Can I bear this?
Batman fixed the power system.
It's not entirely because of the welcome from the lunatics and the people of Gotham, but mainly because he is also in Gotham now. If Gotham falls, won't he be finished with it?
But he decided to adjust the power of the power system to let Gotham slowly descend, and it is expected to return to the atmosphere within a week and return to its original location within half a month.
This can be regarded as stirring up a hornet's nest.
The crazy people in Gotham didn't want to go back at all. They thought space was simply amazing. It was quiet, lonely, deserted and lively. It was the promised land of the Gotham people who were equally indifferent, irritable and neurotic. Let the sun go but not us.
This was within Batman's expectations. He knew the brain circuits of these crazy people too well. Why would he bother with a mental patient?
But what made Batman incredible was that the United States did not agree.
That's right. About a week after Gotham left the ground, the US Congress actually signed the Independence Act.
When the Joker slapped the legal documents in front of Batman, he was shocked. This was really Texas's death, Florida's uprising, and even the distant Hawaii had to sing a song of Dou E's injustice.
How could it be allowed to be independent?
Batman didn't figure it out at first, but he understood it when he drove the Batfighter back.
Gotham ran away, but he didn't take the entire continent with him. He just took the surface layer, which means that the altitude was lowered by dozens of meters, but the continental shelf is still there.
That is to say, the United States still owns this land, and it owns a brand new undeveloped land on the East Coast of the United States, where every inch of land is valuable.
After understanding this, Batman can already imagine the scene of a bloody fight in Congress, not for whether Gotham is independent or not, but for who will come to develop this land in the future.
The city with the highest crime rate in his country has disappeared, and at the same time, a new emerging land without any force majeure has been harvested on the golden coastline, and even a huge underground maze that can be developed as a tourist resource on the spot is attached.
The President of the United States was confused. After signing the Independence Act, he ran to Mount Rushmore overnight and shouted three times, "God bless America". The mayor of the metropolitan city sat at home, and the administrative divisions came from the sky. He held Huang on his left and Qing on his right. I am so crazy about my youth. I signed the decree in the morning, and the palace was built at noon.
The people of Metropolis and Blüdhaven are also happy. Blüdhaven is okay. Metropolis has also been troubled by dense population and high housing prices for a long time. Now there is a new area with a similar area to their own. Isn't it the opportunity for their children to become second-generation homeowners?
Some people are just wandering in their hearts, while some people have been homeless for a long time. Anyway, Batman couldn't say anything in front of the huge crowds of house-viewing groups. The only thing that gave him some psychological comfort was probably the owl who suffered even more miserably than him.
The government's work here couldn't be done, and they had to go back to Gotham to find a solution. Anyway, the house has not been built yet, and Gotham insisted on landing, and they probably couldn't do anything.
Then he encountered another extremely sharp problem, that is, his biological parents Thomas and Martha also disagreed with letting Gotham land.
After some investigation, Batman learned that the most popular house viewing group on the ground was viewing the real estate jointly developed by the Wayne Group and the Kane family. Batman thinks he should at least have Robin's support, right? They at least have the right and should be on his side, right?
It turned out that the Robins were the most vocal in their opposition.
After arguing with the Robins for two days, Batman gradually understood that Robin's disagreement was not because of abnormal brains or out of interest considerations, but simply because they were teenagers and they felt that their hometown was floating above the head of the earth. It looks cool and they think it will give them bragging rights when they go to college.
Alfred sides with the Robins.
So does Batman.
I have to admit that Batman was shocked that Robin would even consider going to college. If they did, Gotham would fly for the sake of their conversation at the party.
Batman thinks this is the biggest compromise he can make, but human nature is always greedy. When the Robins learned that there was an interstellar war going on in the universe, they said that Gotham is an integral part of the universe. We How could you not watch the fun?
Batman was really pissed off by them, but what was even more irritating was that Thomas and Martha actually swore that if you could be Batman, why couldn't you drive Gotham to take the children to the universe to see them for a long time? Let them come back safely?
Batman choked speechlessly.
He found that he had entered an extremely embarrassing stage of life. There was an old man above him and a young man below him. The young man made trouble with the old man, and the old man doted on the young man. He was caught in the middle and was no longer human.
When parents are alive, there is still a way forward in life. After parents are gone, there is only a way back in life. At this time, Batman's way forward is not very clear, and the way back is even more bleak. The word "angrily" is rarely used for Batman, but Now he could only get angry for a moment.
In the end, he decided not to listen to these people's advice. Anyway, he installed the power system himself, so he could just land and be done.
Unfortunately, his opponents knew him too well. Before Batman could activate the power unit, the Robins teamed up to summon Gotham to Hell.
Both Red Robin and Red Hood have learned magic knowledge before. The key is that Red Robin has a Lilith inside him.
That's right, Lilith never left from the beginning to the end, because she found that humans are really fucking interesting, and the human world is even more interesting. No wonder Lucifer never went back after he came once.
Lilith had no country or army to take care of, so she simply stayed in the body of Red Robin. After learning about the plight of the people of Gotham, the Mother of All Blood generously opened the gate to hell for them.
In the eyes of the people of Gotham, this extremely generous act almost made all the other demon kings of hell angry to death.
You want to have fun regardless of our lives, right? Last time, a Batman came and almost brought down the whole hell. This time you brought the whole Gotham. You have lived from the beginning of the creation to the present. How many years have we only lived?
Scolding is enough, the night Gotham came, Hell launched a large-scale mobilization and evacuation that had not been seen in thousands of years. Hell is a big place anyway. You can sit on the toilet wherever you like. Can't we just leave?
Facts have proved that this is not possible, because even Batman's modified power system requires energy. However, because of Batman's strong technical strength, the scope of energy is broader. Anything containing energy can be put into the extraction machine and stirred. The more pure the energy, the greater the power it can provide.
The demons in hell are actually energy creatures in the traditional human sense. When Gotham came down, he saw that there were batteries all over the place, why didn't they just start generating electricity?
This time, not only the lunatics from Arkham Asylum showed off their skills, but the Robins also showed no mercy. After all, these things are demons, and they can kill, eat and bury a dragon without any psychological burden.
If there were only Robins from the main universe, the efficiency would not be high enough, but the Robins from Schiller's universe were still here, and the efficiency of the two sides' cooperation was amazing.
There was a war in Gotham before, and the three districts of the upper, middle and lower cities were in fierce conflict. The families who had just regressed back to the gangster era were in urgent need of fresh funds.
When they saw that the two lucrative businesses of energy robbery and human trafficking were combined into one, how could they not do it? For a time, people in northern Myanmar called it Little Gotham Hell.
This situation has been going on for a while. At the beginning, some demon groups did not believe in evil and wanted to wait and see again after receiving the evacuation order. In the end, they all turned into batteries.
People in Gotham go out to patrol in different areas and time periods. Those who have planes fly planes, those who don't have planes drive trucks, those who are capable attack groups, and those who are incompetent rob and seize singles. It is our duty to rebuild the glory of the gang.
In fact, the people of Gotham can't defeat any decent demons. However, there are too many demons in hell, and not all of them are strong. Picking the ones who are easy to bully can be a rewarding experience in a short time.
As the saying goes, when you are full, warm, full of lust, and don’t worry about energy, it is naturally time for the people of Gotham to have fun. But although this hell is big, there is not much fun. The intensity and strategic level of the war in hell are not enough. Gotham people have already been there Tired of this.
Just then, Constantine arrived. After discovering Lilith in Red Robin's body, Constantine gave in.
It would be okay to be in the human world, and the worst case scenario would be to hang up the phone, but this is hell. Although Lilith's body has not come, the straight-line distance is equivalent to a street. She can parachute over at any time and make Constantine's head bloom. There is no choice. , I can only tell you all the situations I encountered.
When the people of Gotham heard that an Earth from another universe had merged with the Earth they were familiar with, they could not sit still.
Why did they work so hard and accumulate so much energy? Was it to fly to their dream new home? No, it was to have fun in the whole universe.
So what are you waiting for? Let's go and see what kind of sparks these two cities will create.
Amid deafening cheers, the huge city flying in the sky slowly took off, cheering and running towards a new visual feast.
Let's go!
