Chapter 486 Giving Zod a Small Shock from the Orcs
Chapter 486 Giving Zod a Little Shock from the Orcs
How do you cheat Batman?
It's very simple; even Batman wouldn't imagine something that never happened.
As Lex Luthor of the main universe once said:
Break with convention.
(Note: During the Death Metal series, Luthor, who originally believed in human supremacy, broke with convention and joined the multiverse's mother, Perpetua, becoming a superhuman.)
If someone spends hundreds of years cultivating their persona, making everyone think they understand them, even the smartest person's thinking will fall into inertia and be led astray by the ninja master.
But for Chen Tao, thanks to his extensive comic book reading in his previous life, he was able to gain a deep understanding of almost every moment in Lei Xiao'aogu's life that made him famous—
This certainly includes his possession of his daughter Talia in "Batman Begins" and the series of outrageous seduction maneuvers he performed on the elderly Batman.
That's right, the Ninja Master did something as perverse as possessing his own daughter and then having an affair with a superhero in the comics. What Green Arrow is experiencing today is actually the same experience that the older Bruce Wayne in "Batman Begins" was deceived.
Therefore, it wasn't that Chen Tao was exceptionally intelligent to expose the ninja master who was hiding behind the scenes, but rather that Lei Xiao Augu's incredible actions were too famous in his previous life. After subconsciously going through the current situation in his mind, he immediately became suspicious of Nisha Augu.
This completely skips logical thinking, first assuming a possibility that a normal person would never think of, and then using the answer to verify the process.
Lei Xiaoaogu probably never dreamed that he would be betrayed by his future self in some future timeline.
A villain who often uses grand and imposing schemes and always prefers to confront heroes head-on, had his true colors exposed by Chen Tao the first time he tried to pull off a conspiracy!
When he realized that Batman had seen through his scheme, Master Ninja Rashomon knew that his entire plan to outmaneuver Batman had failed. His attempt to lure Batman and his crew into forcing General Zod to surrender at Lazarus Pool and create a million-strong Kryptonian army for him had also completely fallen apart.
Without the slightest annoyance at having his plot exposed, the ninja master immediately planned to escape.
Fortunately, he had made sufficient preparations beforehand. Then, with a loud bang, the spaceship shook violently.
"The ninja master manipulated a meteorite to crash into my spaceship. He used magic to deceive the ship's detection equipment."
Night Owl stood still as if walking on flat ground, his voice still calm. He really looked like a remotely controlled robot, his feet almost welded to the floor.
At the same time, a cloud of smoke rose from the Ninja Master's body.
X-rays couldn't penetrate it; it was a lead-based smoke bomb with added kryptonite. It seems the Ninja Master did a good job gathering intelligence on him, knowing he had the ability to transform into Kryptonian blood.
"I need to deal with the problem of the spaceship being hit," Night Owl said expressionlessly from the side.
"And I will take care of it—right now."
With a swish, Chen Tao once again grabbed Ninja Master Lei Xiao Augu by the neck. Under such circumstances, even Luther would not be able to escape.
In the blink of an eye, Lei Xiao Augu decisively surrendered, raising his hands: You win, Detective.
"Night Owl, do me a favor and send my mentor to jail, at least to a prison he can't escape from for the next few hundred years."
Chen Tao said.
"You don't know the exact location of the Pool of Lhasa, but I do, and you don't know where Zod is now, let alone his possible targets."
The ninja master said, "I can..."
But Chen Tao didn't listen to his nonsense at all. He quickly tied up the ninja master and said, "We'll find out his exact location. We don't need you to provide it."
Just kidding, how could Chen Tao dare to let the Ninja Master continue to participate in the whole plan? He knew very well that he was able to defeat the opponent so easily, but the failure was due to the Ninja Master being sent overseas and bad luck.
Chen Tao's strength has always been his willingness to never underestimate anyone. He always strives for completeness from beginning to end. He wouldn't be foolish enough to knowingly include the Ninja Master in the subsequent events, adding unnecessary complications to his plans.
Night Owl glanced at Batman, then typed on the computer for a while, and soon a completely sealed cabin rose up from the side of the spaceship.
Chen Tao completely ignored what Lei Xiaoaogu wanted to say and simply tossed him inside. Then, he easily found the interrogation button in the cabin next to the spaceship. Soon, the ninja master, who was occupying Nisha's body, was shocked by the electricity that came out of the floor, and every hair on his head stood up.
Green Arrow, standing nearby, had just recovered some of his normal reaction time from the shattered state: "Ah...ah...wait, if you capture him, how will you know General Zod's location?"
Chen Tao and Night Owl exchanged a glance.
Chen Tao gave Night Owl a look, as if to say, "Is the Green Arrow in your universe like this too?"
Night Owl gave Chen Tao a look:
They're about the same.
Almost simultaneously, the two felt a urge to laugh, but then, without prior arrangement, they both frowned, suppressing the strange sense of tacit understanding that was rising within them.
Green Arrow is actually one of the smartest characters in DC, but his intelligence sometimes drops drastically, especially when it comes to things involving women.
"I guided General Zod to Argon," Night Owl said.
"And I let Supergirl tell him about Argon City."
Chen Tao interjected, "So why do some people think we can't find Zod?"
"But even so, persuading General Zod won't be easy," Night Owl said. "What do you plan to do?"
In fact, if we exclude the fact that the Ninja Master's plan was to use the waters of the Lazarus Pool to control the resurrected Kryptonians, it would indeed be the best solution to the current situation.
General Zod was wary of Anton Akaine and didn't want him to turn his own people into corpses. Reviving his people with the spring water might be the only way to win him over.
The only problem is that resurrection caused by the spring water of Lhasa Road will result in a crazy debuff on the resurrected.
However, this was good enough for General Zod, because his comrades in this state at least looked like living Kryptonians. Even if they were insane, they could be slowly saved, which was much easier to accept than turning them into rotting corpses.
However, Chen Tao knew very well that this madness, while seemingly utter insanity, actually meant that the Pool of Lhasa Road might not have actually recalled the other party's soul.
He's been dead for so long, completely dead. His soul might have gone to heaven, or it might have gone to hell, or it might have been captured by some unknown underworld, such as the underworld of decay and darkness or the underworld of the red of all living beings. Finding his soul would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
General Zod might have thought that such madness and killing madness would only last for a while, but in fact it was almost a permanent mental state.
From beginning to end, General Zod's attempt to use the Pool of Lazarus to resurrect his brethren was a tragedy, destined to result in only a madman's body being resurrected.
In the animated film of the previous life, although the second Robin Jason Todd was resurrected by the Pool of Lazarus long after his death, that was a change made by the animated film to make it easier for the audience to understand.
In the original comics, Jason Todd's resurrection was caused by Superman the Primal punching the Heaven dimension, creating a "little reality-altering prank" that brought him back from the grave. It had absolutely nothing to do with the Pool of Lazarus.
"What do I plan to do? Night Owl, think about it."
Chen Tao asked, "How did we deal with Supreme Superman?"
He said, "Who says a mad body can't give birth to a normal, beastly personality?"
……
……
……
Argon, the shining beacon of Kryptonian knowledge and culture, is the birthplace of our greatest thinkers, and it was in this city that my parents met.
And then... Krypton was destroyed.
I remember that day on Krypton, when a cold, noisy wind howled through the valley, only to be interrupted by my father's voice.
Even now, whenever I close my eyes... I can still hear their screams echoing in my ears—
This can't go on anymore.
I am so grateful that Zo El, that great inventor, created the protective barrier, which saved Argon from being destroyed in the universe along with Krypton.
Although Argon was eventually destroyed due to food shortages and a damaged protective shield, the bodies of its inhabitants were preserved.
If these corpses can be resurrected, Kryptonian civilization can be rebuilt, and for this I am willing to sacrifice...
"Batman?"
When Chen Tao led Haiwang and his group into the Lhasa Pool hidden in the temple, the first thing they saw was a pile of corpses lying on the ground.
This is South America, the lost temple of the feathered serpent god.
Chen Tao revealed the location of the Lhasa Road Pool to Zod, and Zod indeed came.
This temple was magically altered by the Demon Lord Lei Xiao Aogu, and the Ninja Master arranged for guards to stand beside each of the Lhasa Road Pools under his control. These guards were personally trained by the Ninja Master from birth.
If anyone, human or alien, tries to covet the ninja master's property, these elite guards will swiftly and decisively deal with the intruder. They are willing to give their lives to protect the pool, and indeed, Zod has wiped them all out.
Meanwhile, General Zod was wrestling with a naked man whose once handsome face was now completely distorted. He let out inhuman howls, his eyes filled with murderous intent and bestial madness.
General Zod held him tightly, repeatedly speaking to the naked man who had torn his clothes to shreds, as if trying to awaken his reason and grasp at a remnant of the past.
But his efforts were doomed to failure.
Upon discovering Batman and his crew inside the temple, General Zod was so startled that he loosened his grip, and the naked man, who was completely unclothed, escaped his control and pounced straight at Chen Tao and his companions.
It opened its mouth like a wild beast and bit into Batman's neck. Chen Tao synchronized with the high-speed bullet, but he was still bitten and felt some pain.
Chen Tao's expression turned cold. In an instant, numerous bone spurs sprouted from his body. With just one kick, the Kryptonian, who had lost his mind, flew out like a cannonball.
"Enough. This has nothing to do with you, Batman. I've stopped invading your planet. I'm just looking for a way to save my world."
General Zod said, "I already know what you're going to do."
He looked at Aquaman Arthur and Mera, who were closing in on him, and a resolute expression appeared on his face.
"I will never let you catch me, Batman," he said. "I am now the key to the resurrection of Krypton!"
Chen Tao knew what he was going to do, just as Lei Xiaoaogu had said before, and it was also what he hoped for:
They completely cornered General Zod, then forced him to disregard the debuff of becoming a madman after his resurrection and start feeding Kryptonian dumplings, hoping to use this to fight against Batman and his team.
However, Chen Tao has other preparations now.
"I can help you resurrect your people, the kind of resurrection that has reason."
General Zod immediately stopped his desperate attempt to fight back, turning his head in surprise to look at Batman:
"Impossible. I tried everything but couldn't bring those madly killing compatriots back to their senses. I even had to kill them again to keep them silent."
He clutched his head:
"Can you really restore their sanity?"
"Of course, I can even resurrect them right now to show you. But I have one condition: after I resurrect your teammates, you and your resurrected comrades must obey us completely until everything is over. Deal?"
What reason did General Zod have to object? Seeing General Zod nod, Chen Tao finally felt relieved.
He immediately flew to the crazed, newly resurrected Kryptonian.
Chen Tao could fulfill all the important conditions for the two-headed orc transformation himself, so he immediately placed his hand on the poor victim.
Oh, of course, he needs to improve his recipe; the previous animal heads were in such obvious places that they looked a bit scary.
He now needs to make the animal's head as small as possible, preferably growing directly inside the body, so that General Zod will have the highest acceptance of it.
Soon enough, a resurrected Kryptonian who didn't look much different appeared before General Zod.
"Wait, he's not attacking anyone anymore, he's just standing there quietly?"
General Zod's eyes widened when he saw the other man: "Batman, you succeeded just like that? It was that simple? And his consciousness...?"
But before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from his compatriot in front of him:
"Croak!"
General Zod: "...?"
