Chapter 134 The Essence of Blake

In a separate room in the Bat Family's underground base in Metropolis, Alfred was busy making a video call.

"What? Continue to be Robin... Master Tim, with all due respect, I'm afraid I have to tell you that there is no Bat Family business in Gotham that requires your participation... Haven't you seen the news?"

While talking to Tim, Alfred took a look at the surveillance camera next to him.

The surveillance camera showed the combat training area of ​​this underground base.

The Clayface was wearing a Robin uniform, lifting dumbbells with a grunt, and then jumped to the side to do horizontal bar hanging leg raises.

——I really don't know why a big lump of mud needs to exercise abdominal muscles.

But he is the Clayface, and a conscientious actor will train everything that Robin should train.

Alfred saw that the other party started to train his gluteus maximus.

He leaned down while shouting something like "I am the Robin with the most plump buttocks", and then...

Hmm...

Then his buttocks grew bigger like balloons, and spread out like butterfly wings behind him, and then he began to clamp ten spring arm bars at the same time.

As he trained, abdominal muscles immediately emerged from his buttocks.

The ventriloquist stood beside him in a maid outfit, holding snacks in his hands.

This was the one Harley wore before (this maid outfit appeared in Chapter 102) Later she stopped wearing it, so the ventriloquist...

Alfred shook his head, stopped paying attention to the surveillance, turned around and continued to perfunctorily deal with the third generation Robin Tim Drake:

"Master Bruce almost ended the crime in Gotham alone... What, you said that was Superman? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Tim on the other side of the screen looked insulted by his IQ.

Alfred calmed him down:

"Even if I disobeyed Master Bruce's order and gave you access to the Batcave, so what? You won't have a job to do. So just go to school. Haven't you been studying peacefully for three months? Children should be like children, and stop thinking about fighting crime all day long."

"Have you finished the test? Did you get an A+ on the test? Have you prepared for tomorrow's class? How can you sleep at your age?"

"Oh... I've finished everything."

Alfred was immediately refuted by the other party, so the witty old butler said:

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

This time it was the turn of the third generation Robin on the other side of the screen to be speechless.

He choked, and then couldn't help but said anxiously:

"You promised me that after the Gotham crime ban is lifted in three months, if there is a need, you will let me return to Robin's job!"

"If there is a need." Alfred emphasized: "Obviously, there is no need now."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Tim on the other side of the screen went crazy, and then started Please, and Alfred watched the other party's performance quietly.

"I just don't understand. Harley Quinn has been spending money like water in the largest nightclub in Metropolis for three months, dancing every day until her calves cramp.

Killer Croc, who is still on parole, has become a director in the film and television city with money, and Deadshot has simply settled down in Metropolis and talked to a new girlfriend. Why can everyone go to Metropolis, but I can't???"

Alfred glanced at the surveillance camera next to him.

There is also Clayface who wears Robin uniform every day and becomes your appearance to do justice in the city, and the new maid of the Bat Family, ventriloquist Arnold - since the other party picked up the maid costume that Harley Quinn threw away, his self-positioning has changed.

Anyway, she is no longer a dog.

Oh, and Poison Ivy, who does experiments every day, has moved to the top floor of the office building invested by Wayne to do experiments. There are glass windows there, which is almost the same as the open air.

Through photosynthesis, Poison Ivy can save time for eating.

Lucius was busy dissecting half of Doomsday's body. Everyone has been very busy these days.

"Alfred, are you listening to me?"

Alfred hurriedly continued to paint the pie:

"As for you, your prospects as Robin are promising..."

"Young people, you need more..."

"In half a year, I will let you..."

"Go to school? Isn't going to school Robin's job?"

"Don't be too ambitious..."

Alfred spent a lot of time talking and finally hung up Tim's phone.

The old butler wiped the cold sweat from his head.

Generally speaking, violating Batman's orders is basically a traditional skill of successive Robins. Tim was able to study in Gotham for so long, not only because he was the most obedient Robin in history, but also because of Alfred's ability to draw pie in the sky.

Of course, there is also the fact that Superman single-handedly destroyed all the crimes in Gotham.

Clayface is still working hard to train his gluteus maximus.

Alfred turned his head and saw that his Bruce was back on the access control. He immediately pressed the button on the keyboard to open the door for the other party.

A few minutes later.

"What was the result of the negotiation with Blake, Master Bruce?"

Alfred put the tray in his hand on the table next to Chen Tao, on which was still Alfred's secret chicken sandwich.

Chen Tao took it and took a bite.

Alfred's heart trembled, and the familiar frown appeared on his Bruce's forehead again.

"Very bad." Chen Tao put the chicken sandwich on the table.

He crossed his hands and looked deep: "I made a little mistake in my judgment of Blake before."

"Tell me more specifically?"

Alfred said.

"I knew Blake was a villain a long time ago, but unfortunately, I don't know why he is a villain."

He turned his head and looked at Alfred: "I bet he doesn't have the slightest idea of ​​abiding by the restrictions that Amanda has set for him."

Chen Tao couldn't help but recall his previous conversation with Blake.

…

…

…

“We have a basis for cooperation, Batman.”

Black stood on the round roof and looked into the distance.

A tile was taken off by his telekinesis and flew in front of him, as playful as a clever fish.

"Famine in distant places, ruthless wars, natural disasters, man-made disasters, gambling, human trafficking, drug trade, flesh trade, robbers and murderers, government lackeys, despicable cheaters, these evils have been rampant in our history since the beginning of human history, and they still exist today."

Blake pointed to Superman who was still giving a speech below: "'You will suffer the consequences if you do evil next time' Do you really think that this method can eradicate evil?"

Blake said:

"I grew up in evil. I know what evil looks like."

"I know what you did in Gotham, and I like it. It would be better if you didn't send all those dirty upper-class people to jail. But it doesn't matter."

Seeing Batman silent, Blake abruptly changed the subject.

He put his hands in his pockets and looked into the distance.

He said: "I still remember when I awakened my superpowers. You know, the common problem of adolescence, headaches, the feeling that my body is fighting against me."

He smiled.

"But after that incident, my sister Vera was almost thrown in front of a running train and killed."

Blake made a booming gesture on his head:

"Boom! Goodbye, headache. Hello, superpower."

The tile that was controlled by telekinesis and kept flying in front of him was torn into pieces by telekinesis in an instant.

"At that moment, I felt a certain calling." He raised his hands: "A sense of responsibility, a clear destiny:"

"You are born to eradicate the evil that has never disappeared in mankind for tens of millions of years!"

He floated up and flew, circling around Batman who stood there silently.

"The world is broken, Batman. Human beings are incapable of eradicating their own sins. They are ignorant, superstitious, cowardly and weak. And this is why we exist. We are born to lead mankind and create a better world."

Then he finally heard Batman's voice:

"You mean we should rule them?"

Black flew over his head:

"To be precise, it's not rule, I prefer to call it purification."

He said:

"Just like cutting off rotten meat, you know? Cut off those dirty and diseased ones, leaving only the normal ones."

He opened his hands: "Reshape the world according to our wishes!"

"You are ruling." Then he heard Batman say: "If an act looks like ruling and is also ruling, then he is."

Black stared at him.

"Okay."

He finally said, "This is indeed ruling. But, Batman."

"I'm sorry to brag like this, but I have to say that for ordinary people, the power of us superpowers is no different from that of gods. The strong always rule the weak, and only the born weak will think this is cruel."

"We can do much more than the government can do. We can completely eradicate evil, destroy the villains, and let those cowardly governments see what we can do."

"No more bickering, no more ridiculous democratic voting, no more ridiculous three-court trial, lawyers acquitted, only the pure good live and the evil die! Justice is upheld and evil is purified!"

"This is our God-given ability, and even more so our God-given power and God-given obligation. The day I woke up, I realized that we came to this world with such power, and we must have come to accomplish some great cause. We are born to complete the unfinished work of Jesus!"

"You put yourself above mortals, Blake, what do you think you are?"

"Come on, Batman. Think about it, Brainiac, and the Superman you are allied with. Humans need guidance, but they can never entrust their fate to aliens. We must protect our planet from the gods of those alien planets. And if we want to protect our planet from a god, then we must transform into..."

Then he saw Batman staring at him: "No one is a god."

Another eye contact.

"And, I hope you realize that the famous quote you just quoted comes from Hitler."

Blake shook his head. He sighed.

"I'm not a fascist. I'm just pursuing justice."

Batman didn't speak. Blake flew off the roof and stepped into the void:

"It seems that this conversation ends here. We don't have the same idea and may be on different paths. But having said that, before we end the conversation, I still want to ask-"

"What is your superpower?"

Batman didn't speak.

"Don't get me wrong, it's just that the abilities you showed before were very mixed, and I really didn't fully understand them."

"Are you a vampire or something? You can turn your body into fine sand, and then..."

Batman didn't speak for a long time, and Blake finally found something wrong.

He used his psychic ability to scan the other person up and down.

Except for the iron in his head, he was just an ordinary person with well-developed muscles.

"But... but you fought with the Kryptonians before..." Blake's brain was a little confused for a while: "You didn't... you completely relied on Kryptonite?"

He suddenly realized: "You let Superman do justice in Gotham on your behalf, so that Batman can be so fast!"

"So, you are just an ordinary person wearing a bat cosplay costume?!"

"No, I still have money."

Then Blake heard Batman's muffled voice:

"I have money."

Then Blake saw the other party snap his fingers, and a sci-fi style invisible bat plane appeared from the void not far from him.

Blake watched helplessly as the other party boarded the plane that looked very expensive, and then flew away.

He was left standing stupidly in the air.

…

"So, this is the result." Chen Tao exhaled:

"Blake's thoughts are more dangerous than we thought. An online angry young man, a human racist, and a new-age little fascist has mastered the superpower that can fight a nuclear bomb.

We should be prepared to deal with him - it's really troublesome."

He operated the Batcomputer, and countless news headlines appeared on the computer.

"Now Black and his Ultra League kill criminals like chickens, and have gathered a large group of supporters."

Chen Tao whispered: "We need to take a long-term view to deal with them."

He turned to Alfred and asked: "By the way, there is another thing, are you still tracking Bane?"

"Yes, Master Bruce." Alfred answered him: "But there is nothing, we have never found his whereabouts. Our old rival disappeared directly in the crowd after leaving Gotham with several Arkham villains he rescued. Also disappeared was the Red Hood that you asked me to pay special attention to. Bane must have made a big move, but I don't know what it is."

……

……

……

Let's switch the perspective to the other side.

Bane sat in a tavern, surrounded by all kinds of villains.

He squinted his eyes and watched a debate in the center of the tavern.
