Luther just arrived at the scene and saw two rotten black insect limbs growing out of Blake's head, which was as smooth as a braised egg and had a crooked mouth and slanted eyes. His heart skipped a beat.
He envisioned many scenarios:
Superman killed Black, or didn't kill him, or Black killed Superman instead. Even for special scenes like Batman killing Black, he had made relevant plans.
But why does Bain appear here?
Luthor didn't care about Bane, who was fighting with Batman in the electromagnetic barrier, nor the Clayfaces who were blocked outside.
He shouted to zombie Black:
"Blake, Blake!"
"Roar?"
Zombie Black was not controlled by Bane and looked dumb.
The sound attracted his attention. He turned his head and saw Luther's green mecha. No light was reflected in the cloudy eyes.
"Roar!"
Luther soon realized that he had lost the ability to communicate with others.
He suddenly couldn't help but feel that the current situation was a bit tricky.
His original plan did not intend for Blake to die...
Luther was in a daze for a moment, then thought silently.
In his original plan, it was best for Black to die at the hands of Superman, so that he could naturally prove that Superman was an unstable threat, and then directly use that trump card to kill Superman, while giving Batman a cruel blow. Yes, but don't kill the other party...
Luther felt his head was in a trance again, and he touched his braised egg head in confusion.
Damn it, have you slept too little recently?
He continued his thoughts:
Directly use that trump card to kill Superman, and take advantage of this opportunity to directly kill Batman. The other party always interferes with his plans, so he shouldn't be soft-hearted if he has the chance to kill him. Moreover, this opportunity is rare. If this If you don’t get rid of the bat, you 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 isn't worried about the consequences of killing Batman.
Over the years, the actual controller of Gotham has caused too much trouble for the government and the military. A considerable number of people in the government hope that Batman will die, and getting rid of him will just be enough to reconcile them with them. friendship building.
Um.
The motivation and logic of the idea of "killing Batman" are all self-consistent.
Yes, that's what he thinks.
But Luthor quickly suppressed his rising murderous intention. 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 Lois was just Snakeskin disguised, and at this time, he would appear and take Black away.
With his ability, as long as he is not caught and sent to prison by Superman and Batman on the spot, otherwise the charges against him will be nothing more than a wrangling in court, and he is fully capable of handling it.
Black's existence is still very important to him, the first of which is the control of "that trump card".
The trump card that he could use to kill Superman was so powerful that even as the creator of the trump cards, Luthor often felt heart palpitations.
Those guys are different from the parasitic demons. Luther must use Black's psychic ability to fully control them.
That's why he helped Black subvert those two countries behind the scenes. All of this was their deal. Black needs his financial resources, he needs Black's ability, and he even needs Black to be a foreign aid, so that he can have more room for mediation when facing the five-star building. The two hit it off and hooked up.
Wait, if Black is so important to him, then why was his original plan to let Black die...
Luther was in a trance again. He shook his head, a glimmer of light flowed out of his eyes, and then he made up a reasonable explanation for himself:
His purpose is to prove that Superman has a problem, and then kill Superman. If Black dies, then his purpose will be achieved, and Black will be useless, so it is okay for him to die. He can definitely replace Superman. It is earned and does not affect the plan.
This reason was somewhat logically self-consistent, but it was still far-fetched, but it didn't matter. As long as the logical chain seemed complete, he could accept it.
Luther's eyes showed vicious murderous intent, but this look only lasted for a very short moment, so short that it made people wonder if he had seen it wrong just now. Immediately afterwards, he returned to his original confused look, and then started thinking again.
Blake held up the dark blue telekinesis shield. The equipment on the Luther mecha detected the opponent's telekinesis and was also assisting Bane in the operation of the electromagnetic barrier equipment.
Hell, now the problem arises. Black is dead, but he is controlled by Bane. Luther has conducted a detailed investigation on Bane and knows that he seems to be able to control plants, just like the famous villain Poison in Gotham. Like Fujime.
But he never knew that Bain could control even dead people!
This has a very troublesome consequence:
The person he originally wanted to rescue changed from Black to Bane.
How many times more difficult has it been?
He had previously treated Bane like a monkey, pretending to sell Black to him, and then used him as a tool to attract the attention of Batman and Superman. This was an old grudge.
When the other party has been sold by him once, is it possible for him to trust himself and let him save the other party?
But you have to give it a try anyway.
Luther would not be so naive as to think that he would just take away the zombie Black and be done with it.
If Black is just blind-eyed or has some other external symptoms, Luther may still take a chance, but look at Black's appearance now:
There were several gashes on his bare head, and dark red and black pus and blood flowed out. The skin was like dead skin, split in pieces here and there on his body, revealing horrific muscle groups;
The most horrifying thing was his mouth. Luther felt that it had obviously been dislocated. Half of the mouth had collapsed, and half of it was stuck on the neck. The lips and surrounding face were completely rotten, and were replaced by sharp fangs one by one. His normal human teeth were broken, and saliva kept flowing from them on his belly.
No matter how you look at it, this is no longer human. But he saw Black holding up a dark blue psychokinetic shield, suspended in mid-air, which meant that even though the opponent was controlled by Bain, his abilities were still preserved and could still help him control "that trump card." ,This is enough.
So now it's back to that question.
"Bane! Bane!"
Within the electromagnetic barrier, Bane was covering his knees, and Batman stood beside him, arms folded, like a statue made of steel.
It was as if they were playing the game of 123 Wooden Man. They didn't speak to each other or make unnecessary movements, letting the clay faces outside keep attacking the electromagnetic barrier.
Luther called twice, but Bain was still stunned and didn't respond. He was also a little anxious.
"Don't waste your efforts."
He heard Batman say: "This electronic barrier is very interesting. I used nanorobots to do a little research and test it. The technical content is quite good.
Before the energy is exhausted, this barrier cannot be actively closed from the outside. It is estimated that only Bain knows how to close it from the inside. "
Luther gritted his teeth. Outside, Clayface was roaring and looking evil. Inside, the time was quiet and the two of them were getting along harmoniously. Batman's demeanor, as if he was on an outing, seemed a bit absurd in such a messy scene.
But Luther quickly calmed down. He turned his head and saw countless clay faces attacking the barrier relentlessly. So he said:
"Bain! Bain! Listen to me!"
He yelled twice, but the other party still didn't respond.
"I'm here to rescue you!"
This time, Bain finally raised his head.
This action inspired Luther a little, and he continued:
"I can't believe I'm standing with so many Clayfaces! God, these guys are all--Bane, I'll help you deal with them first, and then I'll rescue you. Listen to me, we are Together……"
Then he saw Bain in the barrier showing a humiliated expression. He bit his steel teeth into pieces and said word by word:
"Fuck you, I hate Clayface the most in my life! I want to smash Clayface to pieces!"
Luther immediately raised all the weapons of the mecha diligently: "Yes, you're right, Bane, I hate Clayface too."
Although he originally had no intention of attacking the clay faces who were attacking the barrier outside, since his allies said they hated these little monsters made of mud, as a teammate, he should naturally do it for him.
And to be honest, these clay faces have no effect on electromagnetic barrier attacks, and consume very little energy. It is not as good as Luther directly bombarding them with missiles or energy cannons.
On the contrary, if these guys later rescued Bane and rushed to help Batman attack him, jumping on his feet like toads, which is harmless but disgusting, they might as well do it now while Bane and Batman are both. When he was trapped in the electromagnetic barrier, he first cleared the group of soldiers outside so that he could escape with Bain.
So Luthor encouraged him to control the mecha and blasted wildly, quickly wiping out the Clayface who was attacking the barrier outside.
After all, these clay faces are just dummies made to stab Bane in the back. What matters is a surprise, strong camouflage, and good deception effect. They don't have much combat power themselves, and it is impossible to withstand the powerful artillery fire of Luther's armor when it is fully activated. .
After all, the imaginary enemy of this mecha is Superman. Naturally, it can be used to hit Clayface one by one, just like swatting mosquitoes.
"You're the only one who's going to hit my clay face, right?"
Before Bane could react, Luthor saw Batman in the electromagnetic barrier looking anxious: "These are all Clayfaces grown in the 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 to his left at Luthor, who was confused, and to his right at Batman, who was looking excited. He suddenly felt that his intelligence had been insulted and his face turned red with anger.
Luther landed slowly and looked at the two people inside through the screen.
There were all kinds of clay faces beside his body. Their metal robot skeletons were melted by the high temperature, and the mud that was splashed everywhere was left lying softly on the ground, gathering into several groups with great effort, and they were mumbling. Still shouting:
"We are dead!"
Don't be ridiculous, Clayface is just a lump of living mud. Their fighting ability may not be outstanding, but their life-saving ability is unparalleled.
Continuous high temperature may be able to kill the activity of these mud, but Luther knows very well that this is definitely not something he can kill with a few bombs now.
These guys even want to lie to others after being defeated. They are really deceiving others!
Inexplicably, Luther also became angry with some of the same enemies. Clayface was so annoying.
He saw Bain limping and stood up on one foot. He came up to him through the electronic barrier and said word by word: "I hate Clayface the most in my life, and I hate Clayface for lying to me."
"Stop talking about this, Bain, quickly open the electromagnetic barrier. I know this is your method. You must have a way to open it."
Luther urged:
"Hurry up, I'll carry you and run away later. As long as you're not caught by Batman and Superman, with my relationship with the government, I guarantee you won't even have to go to jail."
"Can you still move around freely outside without even wearing a restraint anklet?"
Then he heard Bain's question. Bain sounded angry and seemed a little sarcastic.
"Yes, that's it," Luthor nodded hurriedly: "But the prerequisite is that you don't get caught. Open the barrier quickly and I will take you to run 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 can still cooperate. After all, our purpose is the same on many levels."
Luther felt that he was so sincere. He had always known that he was a master liar who could lie as easily as drinking water. To say such words wholeheartedly was simply not like himself.
Then he heard Bain say: "I hate Clayface the most in my life. When I catch Clayface, I will use my fists to beat him from mud to rock!"
Bain originally wanted to say "break every bone in Clayface's body" but he soon realized that Clayface had no bones at all. He didn't even know what to do with him. Even the threats sounded like It's a bad joke.
This made Bain even angrier.
The "Luthor" outside was still talking nonsense like "we are teammates on a common front" and "our interests are the same". Bain 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 trick the other side used, as far as the result was concerned, the other side defeated him, and he had accepted the fact that he would soon be sent back to prison.
but!
but!
You can do anything to Bain, even kill Bain, even break Bain's back, but you should only stop insulting me with Clayface! ! ! !
What a coincidence, he had just suffered another disastrous defeat and was about to be sent to prison. Luther, who treated him like a monkey and sold him without hesitation, ran to save him at the risk of being caught himself?
Could Luther really be so kind?
Does Luther really have the guts?
What is he planning?
Fuck you, Clayface again! ! !
If he really foolishly believed the other person, he might be carried a few kilometers away by the other person, and would get another shot, right?
Then when he woke up, he found himself naked in Batman's private prison, with a large pile of clay faces next to him, clapping his hands and laughing, "Oh - he was cheated, he was cheated again, he really thought he was I can escape, hahaha!"
Then the clay face turned into armored Luthor, Batman, Superman, and finally his appearance again...
Just thinking about such a scene made Bain so angry that he almost lost his mind.
He calmed down eerily.
"Okay, I'll open the barrier."
With Luther's IQ, he quickly noticed that something was not right about the other party's attitude, but Bain's action of opening the barrier allowed him to temporarily suppress his doubts.
The sea-blue barrier disappeared under Bane's control, and Luther quickly raised his hand and shot Batman.
boom!
At the same time, the energy wave he had secretly arranged when attacking Clayface erupted together, knocking Batman away diagonally.
Luther noticed that the other person was very hard, as hard as a superman.
But fortunately, he made enough preparations.
He accurately calculated the point where Batman would fall. The moment Batman was knocked away and before he could stand up, countless metal tentacles erupted from that position, studded with tiny kryptonite. Batman is all tied up.
Dozens of cannon muzzles with different principles and calibers protruded from Luthor's mecha, and various energy restraints and particle confinements were applied to Batman by Luthor in just three seconds as if they were free of charge. on the body.
The entire set of actions was performed smoothly and smoothly, faster than lightning and smooth and smooth. Luthor is indeed Superman's strongest enemy. Even in such a short preparation time, he still successfully suppressed Batman!
"Very well, Bain, we..."
Luther in the mecha wiped the sweat from his bald head, then turned around and looked at Bane.
What greeted him was a powerful and heavy slap from Bain.
Dozens of fighting techniques in different directions and types were unleashed by Bain in an instant. All kinds of punches, kicks and unparalleled strange powers were poured out by Bain on Luther in three seconds as if they were free of charge. on the mecha.
The entire set of movements was also smooth and smooth, faster than lightning and smooth. Bane is indeed Batman's strongest enemy. Even in such a short time of charging, he still successfully dismantled Luthor's weapon with his bare hands. Mecha!
A gust of wind blew.
With a crash, Luther felt a chill in front of him. He had spent billions of dollars to forge the super armor, but without even turning on the energy shield, he was beaten into a big piece of trash by Bain with his bare hands. iron.
Bang!
Luthor, wearing only a white shirt, crawled out of the destroyed mecha in embarrassment, and then the wreckage fell to the ground with a clang.
Bain was silent.
Luther was silent.
Batman was silent.
"Why did you hit me?" Luther asked Bain sincerely.
"Because you are Clayface." Bain answered him sincerely.
"But, I'm not fucking Clayface!" Luther was angry.
He was so angry that he almost couldn't catch his breath.
"you this……"
"I understand now." Bain apologized slightly, but turned serious again: "But we'll fight first."
