Vol.2 - Chapter 44 – Decisive Battle at the Peak of Arkham

In the dark night at four o'clock in the morning, two Batmobiles set off again.

This time, both cars have undergone significant temporary modifications. The number one car driven by Nightwing is equipped with heavy weapons such as a scatter intelligent landmine launcher, enough to turn Arkham into a sea of fire.

In addition to heavy weapons, the number two car driven by Selina also has a drone hive and a combat armor box that can be launched.

Inside the box is Batman's titanium alloy battle suit.

This time, they don't need to pass through the chaotic Gotham City. They can reach Arkham Asylum, which is also located in the suburbs, by driving along the outskirts of the city for twenty minutes from Wayne Manor.

Bruce Wayne, disguised as "Kite Man," is lurking in Arkham Asylum and constantly sending messages using a special wristwatch.

He has already met with Nightshade and the Crimson Knight there. The Assassin League has no intention of entering Gotham City but is assembling a special launching device.

Batman suspects that they are setting up some kind of large-scale destructive weapon that can destroy Gotham.

"Tell me honestly, how much did you loot from the Batcave to make you feel guilty and willing to take risks for Bruce?"

In the second Batmobile, Catwoman, who was driving the "City Tank," glanced at Mason, who was loading the final parts for the gun in the passenger seat.

She asked softly.

Captain K, who had just made a fortune, did not hide it from his team members. He smiled subtly and said in a low voice:

"Be good, don't ask now. I can only say that the harvest this time is enough to elevate Team K from poverty to the ranks of the wealthy.

Of course, it is difficult to convert those good things into substantial combat power in the short term, but luckily we still have a month to prepare before the first forced exploration mission."

"Have you ever considered that your actions in the Batcave will be discovered sooner or later?"

Catwoman said softly:

"This is different from when you looted the technology research and development laboratory in Wayne Tower. That time, you helped and got rewarded. But this time, you may have crossed Bruce's bottom line. I really feel that you may have taken something extraordinary."

"But I gave him a son."

Mason held a lump of magical metal in his hand, melted it with magic fire, and took out a pre-prepared mold to shape it. He glanced at Catwoman, who was driving, and said:

"If this is not enough to calm him down, Team K can also give him a wife. Selina, have you considered becoming a professional intelligence officer and providing support to Team K by long-term undercover work in Bruce Wayne's bed?"

"Tsk, young people are young people. They are so conservative even when telling dirty jokes."

Selina commented disdainfully and glanced at the gun parts being assembled in Mason's hand, saying:

"How long do you need? It looks quite sophisticated."

"They are all modular components. It won't take much time. I'm just making specialized bullets now. Drive steadily, and I should be able to finish when we arrive at Arkham."

Mason said so, increasing the melting of the magical fire in his left hand, allowing the metal shining with sandstone micro-light to melt and shape faster.

"Beep!"

Fifteen minutes after the two Batmobiles set off, the backup Bat Network finally came online with the joint efforts of Alfred and Barbara.

At the moment when the communication network covered the Batmobiles, a signal that had already left Gotham sent back the first message:

"Star City reinforcements have set off! Green Arrow, Black Canary, and their team are rushing to Gotham. They will be responsible for maintaining order in the city. Alfred, please give them temporary access to the Bat Network in a timely manner and guide them to meet with Commissioner Gordon and others who are still in the city.

Also, I received a communication from the Eye of the Sky on the way to Central City. Amanda Waller expressed a high level of concern about the current situation in Gotham and asked if support is needed."

"Decline! Tim."

Mason, who was busy, said coldly and decisively:

"That organization is suspicious. I can confirm that they have some unknown connection with the 'Suicide Squad'."

"Understood."

Tim's voice sounded afterwards.

Mason's words made Catwoman look at him in surprise. The young man touched the back of his neck and explained:

"Old K controlled me and Charles with the micro-bombs of the Suicide Squad. I suspect that he may have a cooperative relationship with Amanda Waller."

"How many potential collaborators do they have in this world?"

Selina gritted her teeth and said:

"The 'Six-Headed Snake' team contacted the Assassin League, Old K and the Eye of the Sky have made contact, and there are definitely three other teams supported by local forces.

These damn traitors!"

"That's their modus operandi, Selina. Infiltrate the world to find collaborators and support their own forces until they reach a certain level and launch the apocalypse."

Mason narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, saying to Catwoman:

"I now strongly suspect that the wizards in the Hogwarts world haven't really died. Is it possible that some of them are now active in the Star Society?"

"Your guess is not completely groundless."

Catwoman's tone also became cautious.

"Batman has sent new information. The conversation among the super villains is over, and the Assassin League is now forcing them to accept the implantation of micro-bombs."

Nightwing's voice sounded in the car communication, bringing bad news.

He said:

"Bruce has incited the villains to resist. Arkham is now in chaos. We need to speed up!"

In the next moment, the two Batmobiles entered a state similar to "overload," and the backup engines started to work, greatly increasing the speed of the two cars.Just as they could see the shadows of Arkham Asylum at night, Kite Man, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat of Car No. 1, also brought new information.

"Boss, Poison Ivy's strange flower has sent a message. She said she has arrived near Arkham and feels that nature is warning her to stop the Assassin League's plan.

She can also temporarily join our operation.

But she requests that her sentence be terminated immediately after the operation."

"Agree to her request."

Mason pressed the newly made engineering sniper bullet into the magazine and said:

"Let her immediately enter Arkham to assist Kite Man in helping the villains fight against the Assassin League and delay as much time as possible."

After saying that, he put the gun on his leg and started tinkering with the engineering bomb again. Making this thing was even simpler. Even young engineers could make a bunch of them with their eyes closed.

"We are about to enter the vicinity of Arkham! There are Assassin League helicopters above, and we may encounter aerial attacks. Be careful to dodge."

The voice of the young master sounded in the communicator.

Just as the crow's mouth finished speaking, a rocket whistled and hit the ground in front of Car No. 1.

The sudden burst of flames illuminated the night sky, and Selina immediately opened the vehicle's weapon system. The rear armor of Car No. 2 opened, and the mini missile nest lifted up and launched in full automatic aiming and searching.

In just an instant, Mason felt that he had entered a dangerous war zone.

But to be honest, compared to most war zones in the world, the murder rate in Gotham City was much more exaggerated. So these exciting things in front of him were just a small scene of drizzle to a true Gothamite.

Everyone had seen and experienced it before. Did this lousy Assassin League really think they could scare the people of Gotham with a few helicopters and missiles?

What a joke!

"Do you want to eject the Bat-suit to Bruce?"

Selina, driving the Batmobile, dodged and asked again. Mason shook his head and looked at the "communication waiting" on the complex control panel in front of him.

He said:

"Wait a little longer. The Snake Squad is still there, and it will be difficult for Bruce to approach Ra's al Ghul and that launcher under their obstruction. We must lure them away first.

I'll take care of this.

You and Charles follow Nightwing and rush in to assist Bruce."

Mason threw two magazines filled with cursed bullets to Catwoman and said:

"I know you have been trained well by Batman, but tonight, temporarily set aside the 'no killing' rule."

"What do you mean by 'trained'?"

Selina rolled her eyes dissatisfied and said:

"That's called learning, progress. Can't you use some better words?"

"Bang!"

A helicopter in the air was hit by an electromagnetic interference bomb ejected by the Batmobile, and it spiraled down to the ground, causing another burst of flames, interrupting their conversation.

When the No. 1 Batmobile forcibly crashed through the gate of Arkham Asylum, the heavy firepower on both sides opened fire at the same time.

These crazy assassins were using firepower density comparable to the Iraq War to block the Batmobile. After several intense explosions, even the front armor of the Batmobile was blown away.

Under this firepower density, Kite Man couldn't even take off for reconnaissance.

Fortunately, the young master was not a rigid person. While the Batmobile was under siege, he also launched a counterattack. Grenades and vehicle-mounted mortars were fired in all directions, and the six-barreled machine gun from the rear of the vehicle began to roar.

Of course, rubber bullets and stun grenades were just things that could break bones but not kill.

It was an old tradition of the Bat family.

"Remote takeover! Alfred!"

The young master shouted in the communicator.

In the moment when Alfred took over the automatic driving of the two Batmobiles, he rode on the Batcycle and was ejected, flying into the second floor of Arkham Asylum, smashing through the glass and rolling in.

The Batcycle also ejected.

Selina drove it and disappeared into the shadows behind Arkham Asylum under the cover of the two vehicles.

Mason and Kite Man stayed in place. He threw an under-slung grenade launcher to his subordinate, and the two hung the components on their respective guns.

In the next moment, modified grenades containing high doses of petrification and paralysis potions were shot towards the ambush positions from all directions.

These things were easily detonated in the air and rained down on the assassins, causing them to be hit one after another. After several rounds of firing, Mason ran out of petrification potions, and Asa's firepower density was also reduced by more than half.

"Charles, take off! Use the bomb swarm to deal with this place, be careful!"

Mason handed a Bat-computer-modified controller to Kite Man.

After taking a deep breath, Kite Man spread the kite on his back and used the mini jetpack borrowed from the Batcave to ascend without relying on the wind. After reaching the predetermined height, more than 150 Bat drones flew out from the two Batmobiles, including more than 50 flying bombs temporarily made by Mason.

In an instant, those explosive little things flew around Kite Man, giving a shocking feeling of a real swarm of bees attacking. The beams of light shining everywhere seemed to instantly brighten up this noisy night.

This was the firepower support that Mason had imagined!

Of course, this was only the basic mode.

After improving his engineering skills, there would definitely be more crazy weapons developed. The current flying bombs, whether in terms of destructive power or intelligence, were not enough to satisfy Mason.

"Tim, are you ready?"

Mason hid behind Car No. 2 as cover, raised the upgraded explosive hunting rifle, and used the combat assist aiming frame to harvest heads. At the same time, he shouted in the communication channel:"Hundreds of crazed ninjas are trying to chop off my head right now, so you better have some good news for me!"

"Cyborg is rebuilding the Justice League communication system!"

The third-generation Robin's response came through the communicator, his tone serious:

"I had to drag Dr. Stone out of bed, and his son thought we were under attack. Damn it! I was almost killed by that damn alien weapon."

"Cyborg is on it? Good."

Mason exhaled, notified Zha Kang with the Eye of Hell to prepare to send out the message, then jumped into the Batmobile and punched the eject button.

The battle suit launcher loaded at the rear of the second car immediately fired.

A black iron canister whistled into the sky, then under the watch of the legendary villain "Kite Man", who was leading the Arkham villains to resist the Assassin's League, it whistled down towards him.

A few minutes later, Justice League member, Mother Box cyborg Cyborg had just completed the secure network rebuild for the Justice League group communication.

But before heavyweights like Superman and Wonder Woman could speak, a signal that hadn't appeared for a long time preemptively appeared in the secure network that Cyborg personally built and maintained.

"Hello! Anyone there? This is Constantine! John Constantine!"

Zha Kang's anxious voice sounded as if he was being chased by a group of hell demons at the moment, he shouted:

"I'm evading pursuit in a different plane! I know you guys are in a hurry over there, but listen to me first! I accidentally discovered the true intentions of the Assassin's League here. Heroes of the Justice League, you better get moving now!

The attack on Gotham City is not an isolated incident!

I'll repeat it again!

What's happening in Gotham is just a cover for the Assassin's League's simultaneous attacks in other parts of the world!

The Assassins are planning a global crisis, they have a dangerous virus in their hands that can quickly spread and turn people into zombies after inhalation!

Yes!

The kind that appeared in Gotham before!

As far as I know, there are currently four 'super soldier' teams secretly trained by the Assassin's League responsible for these actions, their combat power is astonishing and they are highly destructive, suspected of having been enhanced by magic.

They are far beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers or street heroes!

Chickens, don't go to your deaths!

Superman! Wonder Woman! And Cyborg, who is trying to track my signal! Don't fuck around! America, Asia, and Europe, hurry! Find them! Stop them!

If things aren't settled by dawn, you'll be looking at a world overrun by zombies.

This is your dearest and bravest magical friend John Constantine's last reminder from a different plane.

We are bit.ly/3iBfjkV, find us on google.

I'm running now!

If you and this damned world survive, don't forget who saved you. Also, if I don't make it back, remember to tell Zha that.

I will always love her."

Zha Kang's emergency communication was cut off in the next instant, and the entire superhero network fell silent, as if everyone was shocked by the news.

Of course, it could also be because the news was sent by the unreliable Zha Kang, so everyone needed some time to discern its authenticity.

A few seconds later, Superman's calm voice rang out:

"Life signals suspected to be from the Assassin's League's super soldiers have been detected over the New Jersey Bay! Very strong, Constantine's warning is correct! I heard their conversation, about a dangerous operation called 'Doomsday'.

Everyone!

Get moving now!"
