Mr. Sandstorm, who has enough control ability to calm the chaos in Arkham Asylum in an instant, seems to have become the horn of the real counterattack of the Bat Family.
Especially when Batman rushed to the rooftop and was entangled with Ra's al Ghul, and the Scarlet Knight who rushed to attack Batman was blocked by the arrival of the Great Young Master.
The super villains who were supposed to stand on their side also turned against them under the leadership of the "Kite Man" disguised as Batman, and they suddenly went from being strong and powerful to being "useless".
Talia, the commander on the scene, felt her cheeks twitching.
She didn't understand what had happened in the past few minutes. She didn't even know that she had been regarded as a traitor by a dangerous person and hated.
But the sudden turn of events made this cunning woman immediately realize the danger.
After realizing that Mr. Sandstorm had left and was unlikely to return, this decisive and ambitious woman gritted her teeth and led a team of elite warriors to rush towards the launch pad that was not ready to launch.
She wanted to launch the missile-like object that had already been erected before the Bat Family destroyed everything.
After all, Gotham City was right in front of her.
This kind of launch from such a distance would prevent the missile from entering its intended orbit in other regions of the Americas, but it would be absolutely enough to destroy Gotham and the surrounding cities.
This was certainly not a personal grudge!
Talia was not as persistent in pursuing absolute justice as her father, who had lived for over eight hundred years.
Her idea was very simple.
Since the League of Assassins had decided to cooperate with the Star Group, whether the "Day of Reckoning" plan could spread to the world or not, this operation must be completed in the area she was responsible for.
In this way, no matter how the huge and terrifying organization pursued or dealt with them afterwards, their alliance relationship would not change.
And with Batman appearing and the entire Justice League seemingly mobilized, even if they wanted to escape, they had to have a plan. It would not end well if they rushed out like headless flies.
After all, could their escape speed be faster than that of the Flash?
They had to create something that would keep the Justice League busy enough to give themselves a chance to retreat into the shadows again.
"Bang!"
The killer moth rushing up from downstairs howled and sprayed the wildfire in his hand, but this pyromaniac was shot down by Talia from a distance.
The cold woman in the cloak waved her hand, and the silent warriors rushed forward to clear a path for her.
In front of them was the battle between the King of Assassins and Batman, and in the rear area was the collision between the Scarlet Knight and Nightwing. The swarm of Kite Man's kites bombing from above made the path forward extremely difficult.
But Talia finally reached the launch pad.
She quickly entered a command, and there were two gunshots when she inserted the launch key.
The black-clad warriors guarding Talia used their unique arm guards to shoot out small shields to protect the commander, but the moment the bullets hit them, they turned into stone.
"Damian is in the Batcave! If you launch it, it means your son is dead."
Mason's voice came from the sky along with the whistling of the kite.
There was also the sound of a medicine bottle breaking in mid-air, and a large amount of paralyzing potion was scattered. The explosion of flying bombs falling from all directions suddenly plunged this area into chaos.
The young man somersaulted and landed in front of Talia.
He pulled out his modified burst cannon and fired three bullets, forcing the assassin lady to retreat. And Catwoman, who sneaked up behind her, didn't want to say much.
In the moment when Mason attracted Talia's attention, Sujie's eagle flew past with a cold light and aimed at the back of this "birth mother" of Damian.
But as the daughter of the King of Assassins, as an excellent assassin commander, Talia was not an easy opponent. She was extremely sensitive to killing intent and danger.
When she felt the movement behind her, this beautiful lady instantly threw a smoke bomb and rolled tactfully to a safe area.
As she stood up, she drew the back blade from behind, and this time the invisible cloak did not give face, or rather, the malicious power in the cloak was looking forward to seeing a duel between the two women.
So after Catwoman's first assassination failed, Selina was "pushed" out of the invisibility cloak.
In that instant, the two women who had a close relationship with Batman met each other's eyes in this chaotic killing field. Talia took off the torn cloak on her body, but when she raised her hand to shoot, Catwoman's whip knocked the gun out of her hand.
The two equally beautiful, cold, and fierce women didn't waste any words.
As if sensing that the other was their "archenemy" in this life, they approached each other in Mason's strange gaze and then drew their swords to fight.
The young man shrank his neck as he watched.
He turned around and looked at the launch pad that Talia had already activated. Although the launch command had not been issued yet, the insertion of the key had already started the classic fifteen-minute countdown.
Mason carefully inspected the technological level of the entire launch pad in the rain of bullets, and then confirmed that he couldn't crack it by normal means, so he turned his gaze to the nearby launch frame.
The explosive device erected on it was not large, just the normal size of a small cruise missile.
"Charles, cover me!"
Mason took out his toolbox.
He made a gesture towards the sky to signal Kite Man to watch the surroundings, and then he shot his grappling gun at the launch button and sent himself up there.
"I could easily throw you into my briefcase, but I guess you must have a self-destruct device."
Mason joked and reached out to the special missile in front of him. The prompt label quickly popped up, verifying his bad guess:
Titan-type Biochemical Missile
Quality: Epic Engineering/Alchemy Creation·Outstanding Craftsmanship
Weapon Effect:The missile is a military technology product affiliated with the "Emperor Plan". It is designed to launch a deadly biochemical attack on the ancient Titans during their dormant state. It is characterized by its emphasis on carrying different types of biological virus warheads and its highly diffusive internal structure.
Currently loaded with virus warheads: 7.
The missile has entered the launch program, and forcibly moving it will activate the self-destruct program in 3 minutes.
Producer: Emperor Organization Military Technology Research Lab
Item description: The technology from another world renders bomb disposal skills useless against it, but luckily, versatile engineering is enough to handle this challenge.
Stretch your hands a bit, tell yourself not to be nervous, and now, pick up your engineering wrench and start saving the world!
Warning:
The biological virus warhead currently installed in the missile is the "2149 Universe Special Biological Extract (Origin Zombie Virus)", which is extremely dangerous!
Do not attempt to come into contact with the research until alchemy skill reaches level 7 and first aid skill reaches level 7.
The consecutive prompts from two information tags made Mason frowned. He glanced at the wristwatch recording the countdown to launch, and there were still thirteen minutes left.
He had to remove the missile's self-destruct device and take it off the launcher before it was launched.
Although he didn't understand the difference between this "2149 Universe Special Extract - Origin Zombie Virus" and the ordinary zombie virus, if the character card warned him so seriously that this thing was extremely dangerous, then Mason had to be extremely cautious.
Just as Mason started to disarm the bomb, while Kite Man was saving the world under the protection of the boss, on the chaotic rooftop of Arkham Asylum, Batman was engaged in a life-and-death battle with his "mentor".
Although Mr. Sandstorm had already sent an invitation to the King of Assassins, the personnel who were deceived obviously did not intend to leave with their new team members.
Although the King of Assassins was somewhat regretful, he was not very disappointed.
After all, he had lived for over eight hundred years, and nearly nine centuries of a long life were enough for him to face everything in life with a more calm attitude.
Just like now.
He and his most outstanding disciple stood on this narrow strip of land where even a cat would fall off, Batman unleashed all his skills in a fierce attack, while the King of Assassins, holding a gloomy black sword, appeared calm and composed.
Although every attack was resolved, it was no longer as easy and carefree as in the past.
This made the King of Assassins' slightly narrowed eyes filled with astonishment.
It had been over fifteen years since Batman left the League of Assassins, but he was still growing.
He did not waste his potential by returning to his hometown and fighting against a group of weirdos in strange costumes.
In fact, in the eyes of the King of Assassins, his disciple had almost surpassed his eight centuries of combat experience in less than twenty years...
Lei Xiaogu swung his black sword to block Batman's fearful assault once again, and in the deflection of the blade, he pushed him away. The boss rolled in the air, flexibly rolling off the force on his arms, and landed steadily on the eaves several meters away.
"If such potential can be used for good..."
The King of Assassins sighed regretfully.
In his unique voice filled with wisdom and experience, he said:
"My invitation to you is still valid, Bruce. As long as you are willing to take over my legacy, I can die with a smile now. You know, I am already too tired.
We don't have to fight to the death in this mad place."
"You are destroying the world!"
The boss said with disgust:
"Before today, I still thought that the League of Assassins was an organization that had gone astray under the leadership of an overly radical ideology. But after today, you are just a group of hopeless lunatics in my eyes."
"We are destroying the world? No, we are trying to prolong its existence."
Lei Xiaogu shook his head and raised the ancient sword in his hand, aiming it at his most outstanding disciple.
His eyes, which had always been narrowed, opened at this moment. His tiger-like whiskers trembled, and under the contrast of the raised collar of his green robe, he looked like a roaring tiger in the night.
"Bruce Wayne! Batman! I know very well what the Justice League has been doing in that observatory base in the planet's orbit for over a year! After the warning from Doctor Fate..."
The King of Assassins' tone became cold.
He said:
"You and your self-proclaimed righteous companions take turns monitoring the vast expanse of stars outside the planet. I believe you are the group of people who best understand the current situation on this planet.
But you chose to conceal the truth when faced with that reality.
Perhaps it was out of good intentions.
Perhaps it was to let the people of this world welcome the final day's curtain call in the sheltered ignorance when faced with unstoppable despair.
But you overlooked the fact that not everyone is willing to live in ignorance until the end.
My disciple.
I have also lifted the veil of the future, and I have seen the same cruel scene as you.
You made your choice.
So did I!
Perhaps you sneer at my approach.
But I believe deep down in your heart, you know that you and I are no different. We are both advancing towards the same goal, just with different methods!"
The boss did not refute Lei Xiaogu's words.
He just lowered his arms, and when he rushed up again, the sharp shark-tooth combat knife popped out from the arm armor, making a sharp sound in the night.
"Hmm, you have murderous intent..."
Lei Xiaogu burst into laughter, swinging his black sword and engaging in a fight with his disciple.
He said:
"That's right! Set aside order and chaos, kindness and evil, right and wrong, Bruce. This is just a game between two paths and two methods.
If one of us can reach the end, then there will be no loser in this battle!
Remember, my disciple.
If I die, you must continue to lead the League of Assassins forward. This is not a matter of whether you want to or not, but you know, you must do it!
That moment is coming...""And you and your desperadoes are still wasting our already limited time!"
The master finally spoke, his voice filled with intense anger.
With his left arm's shark-toothed combat knife, he blocked the tutor's black sword. Before the latter could break free, he clenched his fist and delivered an uppercut to the chin of the King of Assassins.
This fierce rising dragon punch sent the octogenarian flying upwards, only to be struck again by the master and sent flying out. However, he managed to stop at the very edge of the eaves in an almost impossible maneuver.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Batman.
He said:
"Your strength has increased! It has surpassed the realm of normal humans. Clearly, you have used some kind of item to enhance yourself. It seems that under pressure, you have started to break your own rules!
Well done, Bruce.
That's the way!
Only by making good use of everything can you lead everyone to the end.
Forget about Jason Todd.
Forget about the Scarlet Knight, he can never replace you!"
As he spoke, the weaponless old man crouched down. Just as the master charged at him, he mimicked Damian Wayne's attack on Mason in the Batcave. His fingers, clenched like a sword, jabbed at the master's heart at the same time as Batman's punch landed.
The deep explosion sent the King of Assassins crashing into the burning floor beneath Arkham Asylum.
The master, clutching his heart, fell to his knees. Even his special titanium alloy armor couldn't block the lethal blow from the King of Assassins, honed over eight hundred years.
Cracks spread from his heart, making the master feel as if the gates of hell had opened before him.
But his punch was fierce enough to send Ra's al Ghul, weaponless, crashing into the burning Arkham below.
However, the King of Assassins managed to escape the master's fierce entanglement.
He felt his heart rate slowing down, his life force ebbing from his body that had been through countless cycles of life and death.
As he fell into the sea of fire, he threw a grappling hook to the other side of the chaotic battlefield, pulling himself quickly to the launch pad. The Scarecrow tried to stop the old man but was knocked down with a few punches and kicks.
Coughing up blood, Ra's al Ghul turned the key on the launch pad and pressed the launch button.
Gotham, this decaying city, must be destroyed!
Search "pawread dot com" for the original.
Only then!
The Batman he had chosen could break free from his shackles and devote himself to a truly great cause.
However, several seconds passed and nothing happened!
The King of Assassins looked up in surprise, only to see a young man in a gray combat suit on the launch pad. He was removing some very precise modules from the dismantled missile and magically storing the silver missile in his magic bag.
"Whoosh"
"Bang"
The black throwing knife and the bullet fired almost simultaneously at each other. Mason, with a flash of blood on his chest, fell from the sky, while Ra's al Ghul, unable to dodge due to his failing heart, launched his final attack.
The blinding blood light exploded from the King of Assassins' forehead, causing him to fall to his knees and embrace death once again.
His body, like a decaying object, turned into ashes in the desolate night, leaving only an ancient robe and a fallen bullet on the spot.
The Scarecrow screamed and shot a grappling hook, pulling Mason into mid-air just before his head hit the ground and exploded. The young man, whose heart had been pierced by a throwing knife, was now desperately
gulping down unicorn blood from a test tube.
After completing a long-range headshot execution of an abnormal humanoid, the Cold-blooded Gunman trait took effect, shooting skill proficiency increased by X80, currently at Lv4.

Mason felt the unicorn blood healing him, pulling him back from the brink of death. He looked at the dissipating ashes and the fallen black sword next to him, and whispered:
"Not bad, worth it."
