Bruce found himself suddenly transported to a different location.
Standing before him was a superhero in a red uniform.
The Flash, from Central City.
Then, the one who summoned him here was…
Batman turned his head.
“Breath of Departure · Form of Land · Departing Dragon Night Dance!”
A streak of blue-white lightning flashed and crisscrossed in the blink of an eye.
The high-voltage electric sword clashed with countless black tentacles in an instant.
“So tough!”
This was the first time Shimizu had encountered such a hard substance besides promethium.
Just now, he had used the Breath of Departure, which had been enhanced by the Speed Force. He didn't know how many slashes he had made in an instant, but he couldn't completely sever these black tentacles.
Even if he occasionally managed to cut off a few, they would quickly regenerate.
With so many tentacles, it was difficult to cut them all off at once.
But at least the immense force carried by Shimizu's attack had sent all these tentacles flying back.
“Wally, I need you to restrain the enemy’s tentacles to create an opportunity. Flash, try using your speed to bring me close to the enemy’s main body. Its body surface is covered with a large number of tentacles, and only promethium weapons can break through its defense.”
Batman scanned the current situation and issued commands.
“I’ll listen to you this once.”
The Speed Force dagger was activated again, and the White Knight transformed into lightning once more, rushing across the field.
After mastering the Transparent World, Shimizu's reaction speed was incomparable to before, and his adaptation to the Speed Force also increased again.
【Current Speed: Mach — Current Speed Force Remaining: Seventy-nine Percent】
Dazzling lightning flashed everywhere. While the Speed Force was rapidly depleting, it also restrained most of the tentacles that spread out from the Cthulhu Batman.
“Can’t you change your method? It’s hard for me to exert force like this.”
Batman, being held in a bridal carry by Barry, said in a low voice.
“Sorry, I’m used to saving people like this.”
In a flash of lightning, Barry carried Batman on his back again.
“Actually, we can use my hand to vibrate at high speed, matching the vibration frequency of these things. We can directly pass through them and take the batarang off that guy’s body.”
Barry said as he carried Batman around, looking for an opportunity.
“It’s useless. I’ve tried using molecular oscillation weapons. Its composition is very different from the substances in the real world. We can only use the simplest method.”
A jagged promethium arm blade popped out of the Batman suit's arm.
“Barry! Circle around!”
Shimizu swept across the air, suddenly shouting at Barry.
Barry, carrying Batman on his back, acted quickly, running around the altar.
Shimizu made the same movements in the sky, while simultaneously forming hand seals.
“Wind Release · Tornado Hurricane!”
A strong wind surged, turning into a tornado, frantically sucking at every tentacle, except for the area where the Cthulhu Batman was located in the eye of the storm, which remained calm.
Barry didn't hear it, but he saw the opportunity.
“Swish!”
Batman was thrown out by Barry, his cape opening behind him, like a giant bat descending from the sky, pouncing towards the Cthulhu Batman.
The two Batmen engaged in the most primitive hand-to-hand combat.
One wore a promethium alloy battle suit, and the other wore a Batman suit woven from black tentacles.
The defense was extremely strong, but the former's attack was enough to break through the latter's defense. The promethium arm blade on his arm tore through the dense tentacle defense several times.
As long as there was enough time, victory was not difficult.
However, after only a minute of fighting, the normal Batman suddenly weakened, and was overturned to the ground several times.
“Current promethium battery capacity is insufficient and super-overload mode cannot be activated.”
“Damn it! You weakling, can you do it! You’re already weakening after such a short time!”
“…”
The tornado dissipated. Shimizu continued to run around the main battlefield, blocking the tentacles, while complaining.
“Suit’s out of power! Wally, give me one shot!”
Batman fell to the ground, his hands resisting the Cthulhu Batman's fist, shouting loudly.
“I’m busy right now!”
Shimizu said through gritted teeth.
He was the one bearing the most pressure in this battle. With the blessing of the Speed Force, he almost single-handedly blocked all the tentacles, so that he could create opportunities for Batman.
“I’ll do it!”
Barry shouted, quickly running back and forth on the ground, throwing the electric current generated by the friction of his running with inertia, like a spear.
However, the suit on the Cthulhu Batman drilled out dense tentacles at this moment, forming a bat-shaped shield behind him, blocking the lightning spear.
By doing this, a part of the suit on his body separated, revealing the handsome face hidden under the tentacles.
It was Bruce Wayne's face, but it looked extremely pale because it hadn't seen sunlight for many years.
Batman seized the opportunity, braved the attack, and inserted the promethium arm blade of his arms into the sparse tentacle suit, propped it open up and down, and tore it hard, revealing a batarang inserted in the Cthulhu Batman's heart.
A black batarang.
Faced with this situation, Batman could only bite the end of the batarang with his teeth, and pull it out by moving his neck and head.
Blood splattered, and all the black tentacles stopped moving at this moment, falling weakly to the ground.
A red electric light flashed past, and Barry instantly sent Jason and Jevon, who were hanging on the tentacles, to the ground.
Batman calmly took out a syringe from the utility belt and stabbed it into the other himself's body, injecting adrenaline, and then quickly took off the promethium battle suit on his body and covered the latter's chest with the breastplate.
“Start the life support program, use extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. I need to perform open-chest surgery temporarily to suture the wound on the heart. This can temporarily maintain your life, and then I need a hospital to install a defibrillator and support device for your heart. After half a year of recuperation, you will be able to return to normal.”
Batman pulled out the arm blade, preparing to use it as a scalpel.
He would not kill, even if that person was another version of himself from a world that had fallen into darkness. Therefore, before pulling out the batarang, he had already thought about what to do next.
He was confident that he could save the other self's life.
“No need for so much trouble.” × 2
The alternate Bruce lying on the ground said this, and Shimizu, who was walking towards here with a high-voltage electric sword, also said this.
“I won’t let you kill anyone, Wally.”
Batman looked at Shimizu and said solemnly.
