Chapter 2455: Battle for the Cloak (XI)
King Robin arrived earlier than anyone expected.
When it gets dark, the lights in the entire Gotham are not as bright as before. The internal light of the glass curtain walls is almost completely extinguished, and the neon lights are like withered and dying flowers, with only a few scattered spots left. The city has shed its gorgeous coat, leaving behind a dark core.
A huge airship slowly appeared under the dark night sky. Countless spikes appeared on the hull of the airship, and it was painted with a huge smiley face.
A deafening broadcast sound that could be heard by everyone spread out from there, and King Robin's sharp voice sounded.
"People of Gotham, your king has come to fulfill this great promise. Now that Bruce Wayne is dead, I will be the new king of Gotham!"
"All of you must obey me and follow my orders. You are not allowed to have any objections to me. I..."
King Robin's voice became smaller and smaller. He folded his open arms, slowly walked towards the edge of the flight, stretched his head out and lay on the edge to look down.
There was no panicked escape, no bewildered expressions, no anger, screaming, blood, or chaos... only dead silence.
King Robin's eyes widened. He took a deep breath and rushed back to the boat. After a violent scream, two crazy Robins rushed out.
They also looked like children, seemingly only in their early 10s, but very skinny and hunched, with pale faces, and they also wore strange makeup. They grinned, jumped around on the spot, and nodded at King Robin, looking like some strange underground creatures.
"Go check the surveillance cameras to see what's happening to this city. Where have all the people gone? Why hasn't anyone come to welcome the great king?"
"What do you think would have happened if I had shot him when he stuck his head out just now?" On a building opposite, a man wearing a jacket, a silver-white mask, and a red sight above only one eye was lying on the ground adjusting a sniper rifle.
Next to him, Harley Quinn also lay on the ground with her chin in her hand and said, "That's too boring. Apart from showing that he is stupid, it doesn't show how superb your shooting skills are. If he dies like this, people will only call you a bastard who kills children, and your reputation as the Death Shooter will not be able to be maintained."
"That makes sense." Deadshot adjusted his gun rack and said, "But I really don't know who would be stupid enough to choose an airship as a means of transportation when they first arrived in a strange city, and stick their head out twice in less than three minutes."
"I can see that you're itching to do something, but you have to wait a little longer. We have to follow the script." said Harley Quinn with a giggle.
King Robin on the airship rushed into the monitoring room personally, but the surveillance footage that was broadcast all showed that the city had become a dead city with almost no human activity.
The only footage captured showing a human being appeared in a scene in which the person looked like he was dead, lying there without any movement.
"What's going on?! What's going on?!" King Robin yelled frantically, "Land! Land quickly!"
The Crazy Robins went to operate the airship, but King Robin still didn't believe it and kept stretching his neck to look down. Suddenly, he heard a very slight whooshing sound, and a bullet flew past his scalp and shot directly into the most vulnerable lower part of the airship's airbag.
Pfft!
There was a small hole in the airbag of the airship. King Robin turned around and the leaking air splashed his face.
"Block it quickly!" King Robin waved to his Robins, and the Robins quickly brought a ladder and started to block the hole.
The Death Shooter who fired the shot was surprised. He said, "It really is one of those primitive airships. What was he thinking?"
"Don't think about it, let's go." The Joker girl dragged him downstairs and said, "No matter how stupid he is, he should have seen you."
King Robin on the airship was indeed looking around, but it seemed that he did not have the ability to infer the shooter's position from the direction of the bullet. However, he began to rummage in his belt and soon took out a strangely shaped gun.
He picked up a fallen bullet on the ground of the airship, put it into the gun and fired it. The bullet then began to turn around and look for its owner.
Deadshot and Harley Quinn had just run downstairs to change positions when they heard a whoosh and a bullet shot towards them at an extremely strange angle.
Deadshot knocked Harley Quinn down directly, and when Harley Quinn got up from the ground, she found that the bullet had suddenly braked in the air and made a 180-degree turn and shot back again.
"What a trouble." Harley Quinn swung the hammer, and with a bang, the bullet was hit back.
"Hurry up, we have to deal with that airship quickly. The people on the ground are waiting anxiously, we can't let them down."
Deadshot and Harley Quinn climbed up another tall building and soon fired another shot at the airship, followed by the second and third shots. The poor airship was soon shot into a sieve, leaking air everywhere, and staggered down.
But King Robin jumped down before the airship crashed, looking for the murderer who dared to attack his airship with a ferocious face. But just as he landed on the ground, a manhole cover in front of him flew up with a bang, rose high, drew a graceful parabola in the air, and then fell to the ground with a clang.
"Roar!!!"
A huge black shadow roared and jumped out of the sewer, landing on the ground with a bang. When the smoke and dust cleared, King Robin saw the dense scales on his body.
"Oh, Killer Croc?" King Robin curled his lips in disdain and said, "You think you can stop my great journey..."
Just as he said this, another strong figure walked out from the street entrance. When he came over, King Robin could see the densely packed pipes on his back. He frowned and said, "Bane? This is quite interesting. Is this the welcome ceremony you prepared for me?"
At this time, a figure appeared at the other end of the street. His black and yellow armor revealed his identity. King Robin called out his name, "Deathstroke..."
Now there are enemies slowly surrounding him in front, on the left, and on the right, but King Robin is not panicking at all. He looks up to the sky and lets out a long laugh, "Right, that's it. Come and welcome me with all your heart, hahahahahahaha!!!"
The next second, his laughter came to an abrupt end, because another, even larger figure dropped from the sky, with spikes all over his body like winding and undulating mountains. On his angular and ferocious face, the fangs revealed when he roared flashed a sharp cold light. He first curled up his body like a sleeping dragon, then jumped up, expanded his chest, and the shock wave of his roar overturned the building in front of him.
Although Killer Croc was small in size, he was not willing to be outdone. He roared and charged towards the opposite side, but was easily thrown aside by the huge monster. Deathstroke jumped up, stepped on Killer Croc's shoulders and the walls of the surrounding buildings, and shot the monster twice on the back.
Although Bane stood still by the side, his fist was already swollen red and the blood in his veins seemed to be gushing out. Finally, he seized the opportunity when the monster turned sideways and punched the opponent's right shoulder.
The huge monster roared in pain, leaned forward, grabbed Bane and threw him out - bang! Bane smashed King Robin and the surrounding buildings away.
"Wait! Wait!" King Robin crawled out from under Bane's body and shouted, "Stop! Stop fighting! I am the king of Gotham!! You can't be here..."
Deathstroke did a somersault and landed lightly on the ground, then shot out his grappling hook and flew to the roof of the low house next to him, avoiding the monster's huge fist. Killer Croc flipped backwards, but his huge body was surprisingly flexible. He dodged to the side and then dodged the monster's kick.
King Robin was so busy shouting his lines that he didn't dodge a single blow. First, he was hit by the monster's huge fist, and was blown away along with the asphalt road. Then, another kick hit King Robin directly in the stomach.
"You damn bastard..."
"Batman." Deathstroke's deep voice seemed to make the dark clouds hang even lower. Robin King was about to finish the second half of his curse when he immediately realized, Batman? Who was he calling? It couldn't be him, could it? ? ?
"I'm not……"
"I never thought that one day I would become the enemy of Batman in this way." Bane stood up, exhaled a long breath, looked up at the huge monster, and said, "How sad, Batman, I didn't expect that the Dark Knight of the past would choose to go with the darkness now."
"You don't understand anything at all." The monster growled in a low voice, "It is this world that betrayed me!"
"Wait a minute!" Robin King jumped up and shouted, "What are you talking about? How can you be Batman? ! ! What the hell are you fighting for? ! ! "
“No one paid any attention to him.”
"You don't deserve the name Batman." Bane rolled his shoulders and said, "Then let's end this today."
Immediately afterwards, several figures swooped over again and fought with the monster.
Robin King was confused the whole time. In the past, he would not waste so much time talking to this group of people. No matter who caused trouble in front of him, he would just kill them all. But... Batman? He had to wait a little longer and figure out what was going on first.
It’s not that he is afraid of Batman, but he came here for a purpose. The Batman who was trapped by his five-dimensional little devil was too strong-willed and refused to let go. Now a monster Batman appeared here and got along well with these Gotham criminals. What was going on?
Forget it, I have to get some intelligence back, Robin King thought, turned on the recording device, recorded all the scenes of their fight, and added his own commentary, "This guy is a Batman of unknown species. I don't know why he has become so big. At present, his ability seems to be only brute force, but his strength is surprisingly great. If you need a big guy who can only do brute force, he is a good choice."
After finishing the recording, King Robin thought for a while and left a monitoring device at the original place, because he knew that the annoying guy who gave orders would definitely want all the footage of the battle. It would be bad for him to intervene rashly, so he went to look somewhere else to find out the reason why the people in Gotham were not moving.
Oh, by the way, there is also Batman. Robin King remembered that he had to pay attention to the battle situation with the five-dimensional little devil.
In a secret room built by Batman somewhere underground in Gotham, the Arkham Knight, who was helping Robin dismantle the protective device switch, suddenly staggered.
Clang! The wrench in his hand fell to the ground.
"What's wrong with you?" Robin asked.
Arkham Knight held his head and groaned in pain. Several fragments flashed through his mind, a familiar man, the skin on his back was torn, and a wound from his right shoulder to his left waist was bleeding profusely. The severe pain almost made his consciousness completely blurred.
"Save...save him...save..."
An extremely confusing signal came, and Arkham Knight could not hear any complete words. There were more fragments of injuries, the wounds were cut open and healed, and then cut open again. The final picture froze on a pair of deep eyes, still bright like stars.
"Ha..." The Arkham Knight took a deep breath, and when he woke up he saw the ceiling of Wayne Manor's bedroom. Barbara, Robin and Nightwing all surrounded his bed with concern, and Alfred stood in the distance.
"Batman...Batman is in danger!"
