Chapter 3974 MU: The Superbody Incident (Fifty-Four)
The main universe's Wonder Woman is convinced that this evil Superman is controlling the Unjust Wonder Woman. In the past, she would have certainly struck hard, but these are turbulent times. Batman has assigned her too many and too demanding tasks; if she fails, the multiverse could be in danger. She must focus her attention here.
Unlike Batman, Wonder Women aren't as tolerant as he is, able to hold meetings without flinching while a controlled imposter is nearby. Therefore, the main universe Wonder Woman's intention is to send the unjust Wonder Woman back to square one. "You can do mind control all you want, but don't do it around me. I'll settle the score with you when I'm done with this."
The main universe's Wonder Woman, carrying the controlled Injustice Wonder Woman, arrived at Earth-3, where Injustice Superman was located. She then dumped her there and hurriedly rushed back to attend to other tasks.
At first, Lord Superman didn't quite understand why Injustice Superman looked so dejected. But less than half an hour later, it was Injustice Superman's turn to stop him from killing Wonder Woman to silence her.
"By Raoh, how can there be such a crazy woman?!" Lord Superman practically cursed. "What does my relationship with Batman have to do with her?! Who does she think she is...?"
Before he could finish speaking, two laser beams shot towards him. Lord Superman turned his head and saw a team of Supermen approaching from not far away. He quickly flew backward and shouted at Injustice Superman, "They're here for you!"
To everyone's surprise, Injustice Superman had already flown several hundred meters away. Lord Superman quickly caught up with him and shouted, "Why are you running so fast?!"
"Are you going to stay and get beaten up instead of running away? Do you think you can beat them?!"
Lord Superman hesitated for a moment. Although he didn't want to be at a disadvantage, he had to admit that the two of them were absolutely no match for the four or five Supermen who were chasing them. Don't be fooled by the absence of a Superman from the main universe; none of these guys were pushovers. The leader, in particular, had a formidable record of pushing Apokolips with his bare hands—only a madman would fight them.
They had both flown away, but when Injustice Superman looked back, Wonder Woman was still standing there, and the other Supermen had landed in front of her, probably thinking that Injustice Superman had kidnapped Wonder Woman.
Injustice Superman quickly flew back. If Injustice Wonder Woman fell into the hands of these Supermen, they could offend them all in two or three minutes, and getting beaten up would be a minor matter; if she were really captured by them, her reputation, which had already fallen to rock bottom, would only decline further.
Injustice Superman flew back, and when he landed, he saw that the leader of the Supermen was unusually young. His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.
In the world of battle, there are no weak young superheroes. Those who don the uniform and enter the battle world at this age are mostly numerical monsters. Let alone four or five of them, he couldn't defeat even one of them.
But he has to take Wonder Woman away, otherwise even if he rescues Superman and pins the blame on him, he won't be able to salvage his reputation.
"You kidnapped Wonder Woman, didn't you?" the young Superman asked, looking at him. "You wanted to control her like you control Batman. You scum, I will never allow you to do that!"
After saying that, he flew towards Injustice Superman. Injustice Superman grabbed Injustice Wonder Woman and flew her into the air—an act that only confirmed he was a kidnapper. Several other Supermen behind him took flight and rushed towards him.
Back at the Battlegrounds base, Wonder Woman from the main universe grew increasingly angry. She slammed the documents on the table and exclaimed, "What are you looking at? I'm not looking anymore! That damned Superman has harmed so many people, and he thinks he can get away with it? He's dreaming!"
"Sisters, we have to go to the universe where the Injustice League is located, and at least destroy that brainwave controller. Otherwise, it will definitely control more people!"
The Wonder Women nearby nodded in agreement; they were clearly fed up with the situation. While the multiverse was important, if Injustice Superman continued to act so arrogantly, who knew how many more people would fall victim to his clutches? Anyway, Ultron had Batman on his side, so losing a few of them wouldn't make a difference; it was better to take down Injustice Superman first.
So, Wonder Woman from the main universe led her best warriors toward the universe where Injustice was located, determined to destroy the brainwave controller.
Meanwhile, Batman, who was processing information in the main universe, noticed that Wonder Woman and Superman were nowhere to be seen. Whether their plans were complete or not was unknown, but they hadn't sent a single message. This was completely unlike them.
In the past, when the Justice League was on a mission, they would frequently ask Batman for his opinion; now, with the Battlefield system, they can communicate anytime across the universe, so they consult Batman on everything, no matter how small.
But they hadn't sent any new messages for over two hours. Even the main universe's Batman didn't know what was going on, so he had to send a message to ask. But even more strangely, Superman and Wonder Woman stopped replying to his messages altogether.
This is absolutely unbelievable. While Wonder Woman might sometimes miss a message, Superman would never. The main universe's Batman is quite certain he's Superman's "special concern," and his replies are never more than three seconds late. Is the sky falling?
Meanwhile, the Superman from the main universe, who wasn't replying to the message, was currently at his base in the Battle Realm, fiercely cursing Injustice Superman with his counterpart. To defeat this evil Superman, the Supermen had even taken initiative, forming teams and arranging shifts to relentlessly hunt down Injustice Superman 24/7. The Superman from the main universe was their leader.
When the main universe's Batman messaged him, he was in a conference room passionately criticizing Injustice Superman. The Supermen below were also furious, each one practically fuming with rage, none of them paying attention to the message.
The main universe's Batman was puzzled: Was the task he assigned really that difficult? Why couldn't they even reply to messages?
Forget Wonder Woman and Superman, things aren't peaceful within Batman's group either. Cyborg Batman and Flash Batman are currently circling around Injustice Batman. He crossed his arms and said, "Is that Brainiac really that amazing, able to create a brain controller that I can't even sense the electrical fluctuations in? Could he have also designed a foolproof system for this brain controller that even Superman could understand?"
Batman, arms crossed, sighed and said, "The world is full of wonders. Ultron can shop all over the universe buying clothes, and Brainiac is no less so. None of these cybernetic beings do anything worthwhile."
Batwoman looked up from the monitor and said, "The test results aren't very optimistic. They didn't find any abnormal brainwaves. That Superman from Injustice probably used something really powerful. This is troublesome."
"Could it be a curse or something?" Batman, standing nearby, said. "It doesn't look like a technological product; I think it's more likely magic. Otherwise, why would he wait until Batman comes back from the magic academy to control it instead of earlier? Maybe he stole the magical energy that Batman obtained and then cursed him instead."
"That is indeed a possibility."
"I feel the same way."
That makes sense.
The other Batmen chimed in. At that moment, the main universe Batman walked through the crowd and said, "What are you doing? Didn't we say we were going to investigate the Battlecry system to find Ultron's true form?"
“We’re just checking on him,” Batwoman explained. “We can’t keep him like this forever, can we? What if he goes crazy from lack of intelligence after a while?”
“That’s right. If the control lasts too long, there could be long-term consequences.” The mechanical Batman sighed with great concern. “That evil Superman must have gotten the technology from somewhere. His control is so tight that we can’t find anything out.”
The main universe's Batman glanced at Injustice Batman. He couldn't very well refuse to help; in fact, he really wanted to, but the problem was he couldn't see anything amiss.
He'd even traveled to the Injustice universe, but still couldn't figure out how Injustice Superman had subdued Injustice Batman. The jar was just a container; it wasn't even powered, so destroying it wouldn't make a difference. Besides, he hadn't detected any electrical fluctuations. How was he supposed to save him?
The Batman of the main universe is confident that what he hasn't discovered, no other Batman can either. So discussing how to save the Injustice Batman is a waste of time.
That makes sense, but you can't put it that way. They themselves claim to be on the side of justice, so of course they should save everyone who needs saving. If they stood by and watched someone die, what difference would they make from the night owl?
This is the moral dilemma faced by most Batmen: as long as you claim to be a righteous hero, even if someone chokes to death on their own sneeze and you don't rush to stop them, it's your fault; if there are any people in the world who couldn't be saved, it's all your fault. This is the meaning of "nobility is the epitaph of the noble."
If the main universe's Batman were to say he wouldn't save them now, his prestige would collapse instantly, and the united Batmen would scatter like stars. This is the worst-case scenario.
So the main universe's Batman could only say, "Here's what we'll do: leave some of the more research-savvy ones to watch over him and figure out what's going on; the more combat-savvy ones can continue their work and protect the safety of the multiverse."
Many Batmen chose to stay. The main universe Batman didn't force them. Fortunately, the Arkham Batman remained a staunch supporter, but he couldn't handle all the work alone. The main universe Batman was also extremely busy.
It can be said that the root of everything was the bad idea of Batman Injustice to fake mind control, and the Justice League of the Bruce Wayne universe added fuel to the fire by releasing Wonder Woman Injustice.
Moreover, the latter is actually the main reason. Without Wonder Woman as a hindrance, Injustice Superman could have escaped; if the Supermen couldn't catch him for too long, they might have given up; and Wonder Woman and her friends wouldn't have targeted the Injustice League, at least they could have helped Batman.
But after the Justice League from the Bruce Wayne universe stirred things up, the three main characters are all busy with their own things, and it's clear that this will be the case for some time to come—even if they really go to war with the Marvel universe, probably not many of them will return. Bruce Wayne has perfectly achieved his goal of weakening the DC Universe.
Of course, he wouldn't let Marvel off the hook either. Bruce finished the last piece of bread, wiped his mouth, and said, "We can't let this universe's Iron Man bring in too many reinforcements. If he really unites the multiverse, it'll be troublesome."
"Then what should we do? Stir up some trouble here too? But I've heard there are a lot of powerful mutants here, and it would be disastrous if things went wrong," Clark said.
"It's alright. There's more than just righteous Iron Man in their multiverse; there's definitely evil one too. Let's find out how, then cooperate with him, assemble a team of evil superheroes, and let them cause trouble, right?"
Clark stood up and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."
Diana couldn't help but comment, "Having you is truly a blessing in the multiverse."
