Chapter 154: Hit Him First with a Big Punch (5000 Words)
As soon as Luthor arrived at the scene, he saw Black's crooked mouth and slanted eyes, and two decayed black insect limbs growing on his smooth forehead like a boiled egg, and his heart skipped a beat.
He had imagined many scenarios:
Superman killed Black, or did not kill him, or Black killed Superman in return, and even Batman killed Black, he had made relevant plans.
But why did Bane appear here?
Luthor did not care about Bane who was fighting Batman in the electromagnetic barrier, nor did he care about the mud faces who were blocked outside.
He shouted at the zombie Black:
"Black, Black!"
"Roar?"
The zombie Black was not controlled by Bane and looked dazed.
The sound attracted his attention, he turned his head and saw Luthor's green mecha, and there was no light reflected in the turbid eyes.
"Roar!"
Luthor soon realized that he had lost the ability to communicate with others.
He could not help but feel that the current situation was a bit tricky.
His original plan did not intend to let Blake die...
Luthor was in a trance for a moment, and then thought silently.
In his original plan, Blake had better die at the hands of Superman, so that he could prove that Superman was an unstable threat, and then directly use that trump card to kill Superman, and give Batman a hard time, but don't kill him...
Luthor felt his head was in a trance again, and he touched his boiled egg head in confusion.
Damn, has he slept too little recently?
He continued his thinking:
Use that trump card to kill Superman directly, and take this opportunity to kill Batman directly. The other party always interferes with his plan, and he should not be soft-hearted if he has the opportunity to kill him. Moreover, this opportunity is rare. If he fails to get rid of Batman this time, he may not be able to do it in the future-
After all, that trump card is not very stable and cannot be used for too long.
Luthor is not worried about the consequences of killing Batman.
Over the years, the actual controller of Gotham has caused too much trouble to the government and the military. A considerable number of people in the government hold the attitude that they hope Batman will die, and getting rid of him will just be a good way to establish friendship with them.
Yeah.
The motivation and logic of the idea of "killing Batman" are all self-consistent.
Yes, that's what he thought.
But Luthor quickly suppressed his rising murderous intent. Murdering Batman has never been the main goal, and the priorities must not be reversed.
He continued to think.
He also envisioned the scene where Superman did not kill Black. Superman would be overjoyed after discovering that the so-called Louis was just a disguised person by Snakeskin, and at this time, he would appear and take Black away.
With his ability, as long as he was not caught and thrown into prison by Superman and Batman on the spot, otherwise the charges against him later would be just a matter of wrangling in court, and he was fully capable of dealing with it.
Black's existence was still very important to him, and the first thing to bear the brunt of it was the control of "that trump card".
The trump card he used to kill Superman was too powerful. Even as the creator of the trump cards, Luthor often felt a palpitation.
Those guys were different from the parasites. Luthor had to rely on Black's psychic ability to completely control them.
That's why he helped Black subvert the two countries behind the scenes. All this was their deal. Black needed his financial resources, he needed Black's ability, and even needed Black to bring him in as an external aid, so that he would have more room for mediation when facing the five* buildings. The two hit it off and colluded with each other.
Wait, if Blake is so important to him, why did he originally plan to let Blake die in...
Luthor was in a trance again, he shook his head, a gleam of light in his eyes, and then made up a plausible explanation for himself:
His goal is to prove that Superman has a problem, and then kill Superman. If Blake dies, then his goal will be achieved, and Blake will be useless, so it's okay for him to die. It's definitely a profit to replace Superman with him, and it doesn't affect the plan.
This reason is barely logically self-consistent, but it's still far-fetched, but it doesn't matter, as long as the logical chain looks complete, he can accept it.
Luthor's eyes revealed a vicious murderous intent, but this look only lasted for a very short moment, so short that it made people wonder if they had just seen it wrong. Then, he returned to his original confused look, and then started thinking again.
Blake supported the dark blue telekinetic shield, and the equipment on Luthor's mecha detected the other party's telekinesis and also assisted Bane in the operation of the electromagnetic barrier equipment.
Damn, now the problem arises. Blake is dead, but he is controlled by Bane - Luthor has done a detailed investigation on Bane and knows that he seems to be able to drive plants, just like Gotham's once famous villain Poison Ivy.
But he never knew that Bane could even control the dead!
This had a very troublesome consequence:
The person he was originally going to rescue changed from Blake to Bane.
How much more difficult was this?
He had played Bane like a monkey before, pretending to sell Blake to him, and then used him as a tool to attract the attention of Batman and Superman. This was originally an old grudge.
After the other party had been sold by him once, would he still trust himself and let him rescue the other party?
But no matter what, he had to try.
Luthor would not be so naive as to think that he would be done after snatching the zombie Blake away.
If Black's eyes were just dull or had some other external symptoms, Luther might still take a risk, but look at what Black looks like now:
There are several cracks on his bald head, and dark red pus and blood are flowing out. His skin is like dead skin, cracking all over his body, revealing terrible muscle groups;
The most horrifying thing is his mouth. Luther feels that it is obviously dislocated. Half of his mouth collapsed and half stuck on his neck. His lips and surrounding face have rotted away. Sharp fangs have replaced normal human teeth, and saliva keeps flowing from above onto his belly.
No matter how you look at it, this is no longer a human. But he saw Black holding up a dark blue telekinetic shield and floating in the air, which means that even if the other party is controlled by Bane, his ability is still preserved and can still help him control "that trump card", which is enough.
So now it's back to that question.
"Bane! Bane!"
Inside the electromagnetic barrier, Bane covered his knees, and Batman stood beside him, folding his arms, like a statue made of steel.
They were like playing the game of 123 wooden man, not talking to each other, not making any extra movements, and letting the mud faces outside attack the electromagnetic barrier continuously.
Luthor called twice, but Bane was still dumbfounded and did not respond. He was also a little anxious.
"Don't waste your energy."
He heard Batman say: "This electronic barrier is very interesting. I used nanorobots to study and test it a little. The technical content is good.
Before the energy is exhausted, this barrier cannot be actively closed from the outside. The method of closing it from the inside is probably only known by Bane."
Luthor gritted his teeth. The mud faces outside were roaring and looking terrible, but the years inside were peaceful and the two got along harmoniously. Batman's demeanor, as if he was on a picnic, seemed a bit absurd in such a mess.
But Luthor soon calmed down. He turned his head and saw countless mud faces attacking the barrier relentlessly. So he said:
"Bane! Bane! Listen to me!"
He shouted twice, but the other party still did not respond.
"I'm here to rescue you!"
This time, Bane finally raised his head.
This action cheered up Luther a little, and he continued:
"I can't believe I'm standing with so many mud faces! My God, these guys are all - Bane, I'll help you deal with them first, and then rescue you, listen to me, we are in the same group..."
Then he saw Bane in the barrier with an expression of great humiliation, he bit his steel teeth and said word by word:
"Fuck you, I hate mud faces the most in my life! I want to smash mud faces to pieces!"
Luther immediately raised all the weapons of the entire mecha: "Yes, that's right, Bane, I hate mud faces too."
Although he originally didn't plan to attack the mud faces attacking the barrier outside, since the allies said they hated these little monsters made of mud, as a teammate, he should naturally do it for them.
And to be honest, these mud faces really have no effect on the electromagnetic barrier, and the energy consumed is negligible. It's better for Luther to directly use missiles or energy cannons to bombard them.
On the contrary, if he rescues Bane later, these guys will rush up to help Batman attack him, just like a toad jumping on his feet, which is harmless but disgusting. It is better to clear the group of soldiers outside while Bane and Batman are trapped in the electromagnetic barrier, so that he can escape with Bane at that time.
So Luthor reluctantly operated the mecha, bombarded it wildly, and quickly eliminated the mud faces attacking the barrier outside.
After all, these mud faces are just dummies made to backstab Bane. They emphasize surprise, strong camouflage, and good deception. They don’t have much combat power themselves, and they can’t resist the powerful artillery fire of Luthor’s armor after it is fully fired.
After all, the imaginary enemy of this mecha is Superman, so it is natural to use it to hit mud faces one by one, like slapping mosquitoes.
"You're the one who's going to chop my mud face off, right?"
Before Bane could react, Luther saw Batman in the electromagnetic barrier looking anxious: "These are all mud faces that grew up in a cultivation greenhouse!"
Luther felt a little weird. The other party's acting skills were too poor. Why did he pretend to be so excited?
Bane looked at Luther who was confused and Batman who was excited. He felt insulted and his face turned red.
Luther landed slowly and looked at the two people inside through the screen.
There were mud faces lying all over his body. Their metal robot skeletons were melted by the high temperature. The mud that was splashed everywhere was lying on the ground softly, gathering into a few balls with great effort, and still shouting:
"We are dead!"
Don't be funny, the mud faces are just a pile of living mud. Their fighting power may not be outstanding, but their ability to save their lives is unparalleled.
The continuous high temperature may kill the activity of these muds, but Luther knows very well that they can't be killed by his bombs now.
These guys are lying even after being defeated. It's really too much!
Inexplicably, Luther also felt a sense of sympathy. The mud faces are really annoying.
He saw Bane limping, standing up on one foot, and approaching him through the electronic barrier, saying word by word: "I hate Mudface the most in my life, and I hate Mudface lying to me the most."
"Don't talk about this for now, Bane, open the electromagnetic barrier quickly, I know this is your method, you must have a way to open it."
Luthor urged:
"Hurry up, I will carry you and you will run away. As long as you are not caught by Batman and Superman, with my relationship with the government, I guarantee that you will not even go to jail."
"You can still move freely outside, even without a restrictive anklet?"
Then he heard Bane's question, Bane sounded very angry, and seemed to be a little sarcastic.
"Yes, that's right," Luthor nodded hurriedly, "but the premise is that you don't get caught. Open the barrier quickly, I'll take you away, it will be too late when Superman comes back!"
He took a breath and said, "I know you had a grudge against me before, but we don't have any big hatred, and we can still cooperate. After all, our goals are the same on many levels."
Luthor felt so sincere. He always knew that he was a master liar who lied as easily as drinking water. It was not like himself to say such words wholeheartedly.
Then he heard Bane say, "I hate Mudface the most in my life. When I catch Mudface, I will use my fists to beat him from mud to rock!"
Bane originally wanted to say "break every bone in Mudface's body" but he soon realized that Mudface had no bones at all. He didn't even know what to do with him. Even the threat sounded like a cold joke.
This made Bane even more angry.
The "Luthor" outside was still saying nonsense like "We are teammates on the same front" and "Our interests are the same". Bane was furious to the extreme, but he calmed down unusually.
After hitting a steel plate, he realized that he couldn't run away.
Whether it was Superman or Batman, no matter what hat tricks the other party used, in the end, the other party defeated him, and he had accepted the fact that he would be sent back to prison soon.
But!
But!
You can do anything to Bane, even kill Bane, even break Bane's back, but you shouldn't insult me with Clay Face again! ! ! !
What a coincidence, he just suffered another miserable defeat, was desperate, and was about to be sent to prison. Before. Luthor, who made a fool of him and sold him without hesitation, ran to save him at the risk of being caught?
Luthor would really be so kind?
Luthor really has the courage?
What is he looking for?
Fuck you, Clay Face again! ! ! !
If he really believed the other party foolishly, he would be carried several kilometers away by the other party and get another shot, right?
Then after waking up, he found himself tied up in Batman's private prison, with a big mud face next to him, clapping his hands and laughing, "Ah - he was deceived, he was deceived again, he really thought he could escape, hahaha!"
Then this mud face turned into Luthor wearing armor, then Batman, then Superman, and finally turned into his appearance...
Just thinking about such a scene, Bane was furious and almost lost his mind.
He calmed down strangely.
"Okay, I'll open the barrier."
With Luthor's IQ, he quickly realized that the other party's attitude was a little bit wrong, but Bane's action of opening the barrier made him temporarily suppress his doubts.
The sea-blue barrier disappeared under Bane's control, and Luthor hurriedly raised his hand and fired at Batman.
Boom!
At the same time, the energy wave he had secretly set up when attacking Clayface exploded, knocking Batman away diagonally.
Luthor realized that the opponent was very tough, as tough as Superman.
But fortunately, he had made enough preparations.
He accurately calculated the point where Batman would fall. When Batman was knocked away and had no time to stand up, countless metal tentacles burst out from that position, inlaid with tiny kryptonite, and tied Batman up in an instant.
Dozens of gun barrels of different principles and calibers extended from Luthor's mecha. Various energy restraints and particle confinement were added to Batman by Luthor in just three seconds.
The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing, faster than lightning, smooth and fluent. Luthor was worthy of being Superman's strongest enemy. Even in such a short preparation time, he still successfully suppressed Batman!
"Very good, Bane, we..."
Luthor in the mecha wiped the sweat off his bald head, then turned around and looked at Bane.
What greeted him was Bane's powerful slap in the face.
Bane used dozens of different directions and different types of fighting techniques in an instant. All kinds of punches, kicks and unparalleled strength were poured on Luther's mecha in three seconds.
The whole set of movements was also smooth and flowing, faster than lightning, smooth and fluent. Bane is worthy of being Batman's strongest enemy. Even in such a short charging time, he still successfully dismantled Luther's mecha with his bare hands!
A gust of wind blew.
With a rustling sound, Luther felt a chill in front of him. He spent billions of US dollars to forge a super armor, but without the energy shield turned on, Bane took advantage of it and beat it into a large piece of scrap metal with his bare hands.
Bang!
Luther climbed out of the destroyed mecha in a mess wearing only a white shirt, and then the wreckage fell to the ground with a bang.
Bane was silent.
Luther was silent.
Batman was silent.
"Why did you hit me?" Luther asked Bane sincerely.
"Because you are Clayface." Bane also answered him sincerely.
"But, I am not a fucking Clayface!" Luther was angry.
He was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe.
"You..."
"I know now." Bane was a little apologetic, but he turned serious again: "But hit me first."
