Chapter 315: #315 - I'm gonna kick your bat ass with my boot

They were falling from the sky, one of the robots heading straight this way. Of the remaining two, one was the friend Karl had invited over last time.

"So, Mr. J'onn, is that friend wearing a black bat suit?"

"Yes."

"Did he also visit this armory last time?"

Qingshui suddenly had a bad feeling.

You're too honest!

You believe whatever Batman tells you? And you're completely open with friends…

"Mr. J'onn, the Fortress of Solitude should have defensive weapons, right? That robot isn't a good guy. Your good son was injured by that guy. Use any powerful Kryptonian weapons you have directly!"

"Karl said to disable all offensive weapon programs when friends are visiting."

Damn it.

This is all Batman's fault.

Bruce Wayne, what kind of mind-control drug did you give Superman to make him listen like a little wife!

"Can Karl come out now?"

"No, to ensure the treatment's effectiveness, Karl is currently in a deep sleep. It's estimated to be two minutes and eleven seconds until the treatment is complete."

"Then can you move the things in here away?"

"You do not have such permissions."

Damn it!

Qingshui stopped wasting words, turned around, put on the White Knight armor, and rushed towards the entrance.

Batman visited the Fortress of Solitude's armory = Zur-En-Arrh visited = Failsafe knows the armory = Failsafe wants to take the weapons here!

"Boom!"

A loud noise exploded inside the Fortress of Solitude, shaking many transparent crystals from the dome.

Wonder Woman was slammed into the wall by Failsafe's heavy punch.

"Didn't you say you injected him with a virus called Mercy at the Watchtower? Why don't I feel even a trace of mercy from this thing?"

"I don't know. Maybe the virus was blocked by Failsafe's AI, or maybe it wasn't a virus at all."

Batman, wearing the anti-Superman armor that was once modified from the anti-cyborg armor, tried his best to fight Failsafe… while getting beaten up.

Fortunately, the outer layer of this armor, which was once used to fight Doomsday, was also plated with promethium, otherwise the world's greatest detective and master strategist would have kicked the bucket.

There was no way around it. Batman knew himself too well, and the Failsafe he created also knew him too well.

Perhaps Zur-En-Arrh could create a virus that could break through Failsafe, or perhaps even he couldn't.

It was very possible that the so-called Mercy virus was just an order from Zur-En-Arrh to Failsafe.

It was just that the order didn't cause Failsafe to restart and refresh as Batman had imagined, but instead caused it to blow up the multi-billion dollar Watchtower and actively descend towards the location of the Fortress of Solitude.

While getting beaten up, Batman quickly speculated about Failsafe's purpose.

Perhaps it was…

"Bruce Wayne, damn you, you paranoid late-stage patient, are you out of your mind!"

Batman's thoughts were interrupted by Qingshui's scolding.

"How long until Clark recovers?"

Batman asked Qingshui, who had arrived at the scene.

Diana hadn't fully recovered. If she were at her peak, she might be able to barely split the promethium defense with the Godkiller sword.

Now they could only hope for Superman.

"A little over a minute."

Qingshui said angrily.

As soon as he finished speaking, the red light in Failsafe's eyes brightened again.

"Activating Overload Mode."

Oh crap!

"Bang!"

A heavy punch smashed into the shield, sending Wonder Woman flying. Then, several freezing explosive bombs detonated beside Wonder Woman, temporarily freezing her.

Her divine power hadn't recovered yet. Wonder Woman might have to struggle for a few seconds to break free.

And in just those few seconds, the armor on Qingshui and Batman involuntarily exploded from the inside.

Without exception, the energy sources inside exploded!

"How are there nanomachines!"

"They must have been replenished at the Watchtower."

"No, then why did you lead this thing there? Didn't you say you were going to trap him in the Watchtower?"

Zur-En-Arrh told me that the Watchtower had a way to deal with this thing!

"It blew up the Watchtower."

"I invested billions in that too, you owe me money!"

"This isn't the time to talk about that!"

Batman staggered to his feet and found that Failsafe had not continued to attack him directly, but had rushed into the location of the Fortress of Solitude's armory.

Zur-En-Arrh definitely had other purposes he was hiding from him!

A sense of unease, that things were beyond his control, enveloped Batman's heart.

"Wort, can you still stand up?"

"I really want to take your brain out and see what kind of crazy things you're thinking that would cause such a mess, then kick your bat butt with my boot, and then stuff your weird bat brain back in."

Qingshui continued to curse as he got up from the ground and used Palm Healing to heal himself.

"Don't help me heal, go stop Failsafe!"

"Who wants to help you heal!"

Qingshui cursed again and rushed towards the armory.

He was very angry now.

Damn it, he hadn't been this embarrassed even when facing Doomsday before!

"Crack!"

The ice shattered, and Wonder Woman broke free from the ice, gave Batman a disdainful look, and then rushed up.

Batman: …

The energy module inside the anti-Superman armor was destroyed.

Failsafe really knew Batman's methods too well. Maybe the blueprints and countermeasures for every suit of armor Batman had ever created were stored in Failsafe's database.

While this anti-Superman armor had great defense and strength, without an energy-driven motor, it couldn't be operated by human strength alone.

He could only take off the armor first, otherwise his mobility might not even be as good as an ordinary person.

When the armor was removed, Bruce Wayne, wearing a shirt and rolling up his sleeves, chased to the entrance of the armory and found that Failsafe had already obtained what he wanted.

A thick energy gun that, when fired at something, would immediately disintegrate and disappear, directly erased.

And Qingshui and Wonder Woman were on the left and right, pulling on Failsafe's two metal arms, restricting Failsafe's movements.

Looking at the shape of the gun, Bruce Wayne suddenly seemed to understand something.
