Chapter 176 "Nightwing" Must Die

"Queen, how long are you planning to keep this from me?"

"You think I've lost my power and can't see through the skin, but you've overlooked your ever-growing belly."

"Is he Superba's kid?"

Inside the Justice League Watchtower, "Zanza" had his hands tied behind his back, a sack over his head, and his mouth taped shut.

He has been sitting here for seventy-two hours. He has lost his strength and his physical condition is even worse than that of an ordinary person. His whole body is numb.

But after "Superpower" led the "Criminal Syndicate" into this world, his triumphant voice echoed in my ears.

Before his eyes were covered, "Zansha" also had the image of "Super Queen's" slightly protruding belly in his mind.

What has kept him from fainting due to dehydration and other factors is his murderous intent towards "Super Power".

"That's my woman, Superbad—"

Zamsa was breathing with some difficulty. His unblocked ears could hear from the Justice League watchtower that Grid had left.

Shortly afterward, another group of people who were definitely not part of the "crime syndicate" arrived.

"Zansha" now only hopes that these people will discover him and treat him as an innocent human being.

Once the tape over his mouth is removed, he can summon magical lightning to restore his strength.

"Dick, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."

"Batman?"

"I am Batman. What exactly did they do to you?"

Batman looked up at Dick, who was Richard Grayson, "Nightwing".

At this moment, Nightwing was bound by a device as large as a building, his bare upper body covered in wounds.

As the designer and builder of the Justice League Watchtower, Batman knows what the device that traps Nightwing is.

A "murder machine" used to imprison "Doomsday".

The machine has circuits and pipes connected to Nightwing's body, and it also has a bomb on it that starts a countdown the moment Batman touches Nightwing.

That's not all. As the countdown for Bomb Brothers began, the door to the room where Nightwing was imprisoned slammed shut with a bang.

"Dick, relax, I'll get you out once I take this thing apart."

Batman ignored the closed door and began to dismantle the bomb intended to deal with "Doomsday" with his bare hands, even without the second tool.

Lex Luthor turned to look at the closed door:

"This door separated us from Sinestro, Black Adam, and the others."

"Child, come with me and destroy this door."

His palm cannon and Bizarro's fist flew towards the door together, but the door didn't even leave a mark, let alone open it.

"This room was designed to imprison Doomsday, Luthor," Batman said without turning his head.

"Damn 'no-kill policy'," Lex Luthor sarcastically remarked. "I seriously doubt that if you accidentally stepped on an ant, you'd hold a press conference overnight to apologize."

Batman remained silent, his brow furrowed as he stared at the bomb on Nightwing's body.

"It's no use, Batman—this bomb is connected to my heartbeat; it will only stop when I die," Nightwing said dejectedly.

"Either I die, or we all die—"

"No, you won't die—even if you do, I'll go to heaven and bring you back!" Batman said. "The Outsider has tampered with things in heaven; he'll help me."

Cold sweat trickled down Nightwing's face. He knew how difficult it would be to defuse this bomb, and with his hands bound, he could only continue to try to dissuade him:

"Please, listen to me—you still have time to leave."

"I won't leave you, Dick. I won't abandon you," Batman said through gritted teeth.

"You never abandoned me, never." Nightwing pleaded with Batman to leave.

But Batman just stared at the bomb on Nightwing, carefully turning off each relay one by one.

The bomb's countdown ticked away, and of the original five minutes, only three remained.

"We'll go together," Batman comforted Nightwing, but the changes to the bomb nearly drove him to despair.

Every time he disconnected a relay, it would automatically reset, as would the wires, and even the countdown screen could not be damaged.

As time continued to pass and the doors remained tightly shut, it seemed the Injustice League members outside had abandoned them.

Lex Luthor's gaze was grave:

"It seems there's only one last option left."

He raised his hand and fired a shot at Batman, who was looking away from him.

"Luther! What are you doing!" Batman was blasted away by a cannonball and crashed into a wall, shouting angrily in pain.

Lex Luthor's gaze was resolute. He walked to Nightwing's side and covered the other's mouth with one hand:

"I'm carrying out the plan. I need to survive, so Nightwing must die."

Not far away, Batman, who had been knocked to the ground, couldn't even see what Lex Luthor had done; he only saw Nightwing's head drooping limply.

The bomb's countdown reached zero instantly, but it didn't explode, indicating that Nightwing was dead.

"Lexor!!!" Batman hastily wiped the blood from his face and charged madly at Luthor.

"Bizaro, stop him!"

Luther shouted, and Bizarro immediately carried out the order, unleashing a burst of fire to stop Batman.

But Batman simply wrapped the cape around himself and charged at Bizarro's flames, extending his fist adorned with the "Kryptonite Ring".

"Ouch!" Bizarro was caught off guard and knocked down with a punch, and then Luther was also slammed to the ground by Batman.

"Wait, don't get in my way, you idiot!" Luther cursed angrily.

My battery is low. I was already barely managing to deal with the "Criminal Syndicate," but I can't worry about that now - the discharge device is activated.

Lex Luthor pointed his palm at Batman, releasing a large amount of electricity from his armor, causing Batman to convulse and fall to the side.

"I told you, I'm going to save the world!" Luther kicked Batman far away.

"Don't bother me anymore, I gave this child a 'cardiac arrest drug' to stop his heartbeat!"

"But I need to defuse the bomb quickly and give him an adrenaline shot!"

"Good boy, come and lend a hand!"

Lex Luthor yelled angrily, but instead of swearing, he explained what he had done.

Bizarro charged over with a roar, grabbed the bomb whose timer had stopped, and violently dismantled it. Luther grabbed Nightwing by the neck and pulled him out of his restraints.

Not far away, Batman put away "Kusama" again, his breathing quickening as he looked at "Nightwing":

"Dick?"

Batman ran up to Nightwing and hugged him tightly.

“,” Bizarro said, then hugged Lex Luthor tightly.

"What are you doing? Let go!"
