Volume 7: Da Mu Da Mu Chapter 48: Mason's Anti-Dark Batman Tactics: "The Last Laugh"
"Snap, snap, snap"
Torrential rain swept across the ruins of Gotham. In this blind and devastated place, the Laughing Bat, who was recreated here via a strange metal card, clapped his hands, as if cheering for what had just happened before his eyes.
He watched with regret as another of his plans failed at the last minute. Although he tried hard to maintain his morbid demeanor, his gnashing of teeth could no longer be concealed.
I have played all my cards.
Even the last dark card that Barbatos gave him that could distort reality was used up, but in the end he still failed to complete his wonderful plan of one thing after another.
Under the cosmic tuning fork in the distance, the twisted evil creatures were defeated one after another under the fierce attack of the K Legion.
Barbara Gordon has hacked into the tuning fork's main control system. With the help of the Mobius chair, perhaps the plane blockade and expulsion will be lifted soon.
Even though a large army of conquerors and cleaners had already set out and would arrive here at any time, he still had confidence in victory, and the world still could not escape the fate of being conquered.
But repeated failures have made Kuangxiao a little impatient.
TMD!
Being stopped at the most critical moment every time is as uncomfortable as the damn inch-stop training.
"Who would have thought that the cute little Mason Cooper would actually find back what his mentor desired most? I guess all this was part of that little guy's plan."
The Laughing Bat stared at old Aunt Martha and said in a cold tone:
"You are Mason's trump card to protect Bruce Wayne's last sanity. Obviously, he also knows that once Batman loses his bottom line, it will cause a devastating blow to his ridiculous resistance.
Prepare early, plan early, well, he is really an excellent Robin... It's a pity, why can't I meet such a Robin to assist me? "
He complained as if he was feeling sorry for himself, while casually pulling out the rusty chain.
Just like magic, at the end of the chain emerged a short, laughing Robin who was as twisted and sick as he was, and a laughing Alfred in a bloodstained tuxedo.
These two ghost-like figures accompanied Kuang Xiao. They were the last remaining memories of the universe that he had destroyed long ago.
It is worth mentioning that this transformed Robin is the son of the Batman Who Laughs and he was transformed voluntarily after witnessing the Batman Who Laughs massacre the Bat Family.
As for Alfred, whose body was severely distorted, he was tortured by wild laughter to the point of collapse and was forcibly transformed into a madman.
"Look! Warm relatives and a beautiful family."
He pulled the chain in his hand, making a clanging sound, spread his arms, and announced to the Wayne family members in front of him:
"I also have my own 'relatives'. What will follow is a confrontation between the two Wayne families. With this final dispute as the stakes, Batman will always win!"
"Bang"
A gunshot rang out across the stormy night sky. Just as the Laughing Alfred's declaration of war was finished, a bullet blew up his head from behind.
Most of the twisted creature's skull was opened, and the magic -destroying with the power to dispel the dark aura on the hideous creature the moment it hit.
It can still be resurrected.
But it is no longer as threatening as before.
Hundreds of meters away, next to an underground tunnel, Alfred, wearing a butler's tuxedo and reading glasses, skillfully held an "Overwatch" heavy sniper rifle, then pulled the bolt, ejecting a hot shell as thick as a thumb.
His expressionless elegance and precise sniping moves represent the old butler, who was once an elite agent, but still has the strength to fight against the enemy.
The first target chosen by Lao Afu to kill obviously also represents his dissatisfaction with the miserable treatment he suffered in another universe.
But what was even more surprising was that the old man who had changed into a black combat suit was slowly crawling out of the tunnel next to Alfred. It was obvious that the shot fired by Kuangxiao just now did not hurt him.
"Master Thomas, next time you perform such a high-risk operation, please notify me in advance to prepare for the response."
Old Ah Fu reached out and pulled the old man up, saying very dissatisfiedly:
"If Butler Oswald hadn't notified me in advance, I wouldn't have been able to activate this abandoned passage in time to save you."
"Come on, Alfu."
The old man snorted, drew out the Devil's Head sword behind him, and said in a hoarse voice:
"I know exactly how many secret passages and bat caves there are in Gotham. Do you really think I picked my sniper spot randomly? I can be safe without your help."
"That being said ..."
The old butler curled his lips, raised the heavy sniper in his hand and aimed again. The next moment before pulling the trigger, he whispered:
"I am glad to see you once more before I die, Master Thomas."
"You took good care of Bruce, and I have to thank you, Alfred."
The two old men thanked each other, and then, under the cover of fire from the Butler Man, the old man drew his sword and stepped forward to meet the laughing Alfred who was rushing towards them.
The battle on the front battlefield had already begun with the brilliant sniper shot just now.
Laughing Maniac grabbed two scythes and attacked Batman and his Joker mother, while Damian faced his own time and space body in another universe alone.
Damian, fighting with his family, was fearless. He stepped forward to meet the enemy with a sword and a gun in hand.
Even King Robin has been defeated by him. Damian Wayne, who has given up on himself and allowed himself to be transformed by Mad Laughter, who is unable to fight against evil and dares not draw his sword against sinners and can only choose to go along with them, is just another nobody who must perish.
Behind Damian was Selina, who was gritting her teeth while bandaging herself, and the Last Knight, who was half breath away. Further away, the energy interference from the cosmic tuning fork was weakening, and it was not long before it was completely shut down.
The cold rainstorm hit the ground, causing Catwoman to look up and shout Mason's name to the sky, asking her damn little brother who was hiding aside and watching the fun to come out quickly.
If you don't come to bandage her, she will bleed to death.
"Whoosh"
The blue beam of light circled around Selina several times, and Catwoman's wound was bandaged perfectly, and adrenaline was injected to restore her fighting power.
She jumped up with a roar and rushed towards the laughing man with the cat-tail whip in hand.
The Last Knight is more troublesome.
It would be difficult for this guy to recover in a short time after being tortured repeatedly by the Infinity Gauntlet with Mad Laughing, but the latter stared at the Laughing Bat who was being beaten by three people, and reached out his hand to grope on the muddy ground.
"Click"
The sonic axe with broken strings was stuffed into his hand by a gauntlet with a faint blue light of speed force, and the moment he grasped the weapon, the Last Knight was filled with power as if he had a last burst of energy.
He stood up suddenly, howling and dragging his weapon as he staggered forward in the rain.
He must complete his final hunt.
"Bang"
The bloodstained sickle that was swung down was blocked by the master's arm armor, and the lieutenant general hit the weapon into the sky with his fists crossed. He was kicked and staggered back.
He looked at the man in front of him.
There was no more anger or hatred in the eyes beneath the black bat mask with stains, but instead there was a calmness as deep as a pool and...
mercy.
The last hole in Bruce Wayne's heart has been filled. The mental wall built by all the people who care about him, love him and trust him has become extremely solid. No matter how rampant the overflowing evil and darkness are, they cannot contaminate him.
It's such an irony and a joke!
The laughter that always seemed to have everything under control was now extremely angry. The anger was so intense that he gave up the fight and rushed towards Batman.
He slashed wildly with his remaining weapon and screamed:
"Why aren't you crazy! Why wouldn't you be crazy! We're the same, Bruce Wayne! Why do you think you can go back in time after what you've been through?
Why can't you accept the fact that you have already gone crazy? What qualifications do you have to despise me or pity me!
I will be stronger than you!"
"Bang"
What responded to him was a bullet flying out from behind him.
Bullets whirled from the circus pistol and struck the Laughing Man in the back. He was fading after losing his treasures and the last bit of his dark power.
But compared to the loss of power, the collapse of the dark and chaotic mind in the heart is a more fatal disadvantage.
Black blood splattered everywhere, and the long-lost pain surged into my heart.
He staggered in the rain and looked up, only to be met with a heavy punch from the master.
The sick head was raised by the blow, and a tooth broke and flew into the air. In the blurry rain curtain, Crazy Laugh vaguely saw a figure hiding in the raindrops.
He just stood high in the air, looking down at him.
There was neither joy nor sarcasm in his eyes, as if he was calmly sending a madman who should have died long ago to the grave.
"Mason Cooper, the one and only Robin..."
At that moment of wild laughter, he realized something in his heart. He forced Batman back in the rain and turned around to throw the Joker's poison gas, but Martha held it in her hand and took a deep breath as if she was admiring a flower or a tree.
The face that was not covered with clown makeup showed an expression of enjoyment.
In the rising thick green poisonous fog, Martha's figure became shadowy, and the old man farther away had already swung his sword to cut off the twisted head of the laughing Alfred.
The Knight of Vengeance raised his head, his eyes looking straight at the man with wild laughter. The cruelty and indifference in his eyes represented the final persistence of a sin-ridden father.
"So that's how it is, hahahaha, so that's how it is!"
Laughing Maniac was knocked down by Batman's another terrifying sudden attack while staggering. He rolled in the rain and mud to avoid the attack of the Wayne family, looking as miserable as a broken-back dog being sent to the slaughterhouse.
"You've been on guard against me."
He screamed in the rain:
"Mason! You knew what I would do to Bruce Wayne! You brought them back to guard against me. You knew that the man hiding in the shadow of the bat could never be my opponent. You found a second spiritual pillar for him besides false justice, which was something he had lost a long time ago but always longed for.
family!
emotion!
Love... ahem, Bruce Wayne is a bait, the bait you used to lure me in, all of this is part of your plan! Are you very proud of yourself?
How long have you been preparing for this situation?"
No one answered him.
Apart from the increasingly heavy rain and the Wayne family members who gathered around, tonight's battle had reached its final moments, but the outcome had already been decided just now.
Laughing wildly, he refused to admit defeat.
Covered in mud, he climbed up in the thunder and lightning, grabbing his broken scythe and rushing towards the Batman in front of him, but it was more like rushing towards the blurred figure in his memory.
"Bang"
Lady Catwoman leaped out from the shadow of the Master's cape and kicked back Yudou's trapped beast with her legs like a gymnastics champion, while Aunt Martha pulled out a dagger in the rain and hit him hard.
The figure in front of him kept shaking, as if there were hundreds of Batmen attacking him together, and the one leading the group was actually himself in the past.
"puff"
The old man's sharp blade pierced his heart from behind, causing the laughing man's struggle to completely stop at that moment, but then Damian pounced on him and knocked his grandfather from another world to the ground.
Every clown has the most vicious device in his heart.
They regard it as a kind of "inheritance". Whoever kills the clown will become the next clown, just as the Laughing Maniac prophecy says, whoever kills him will become the next hopeless Laughing Maniac.
"Hahaha, I am a highly poisonous creature, I will kill you instantly!"
The dark Batman, whose heart was pierced, laughed loudly and spurted black blood from his mouth. He opened his arms and pounced towards the old man. Catwoman wanted to step forward to stop him but was pushed away by the old man.
The powerful punch that had been charged to the extreme was swung forward. This punch embodied all of Bruce Wayne's resistance, opposition and disgust towards the other Bruce Wayne.
But it’s not just the Fist of Indifference.
It also represents the satisfaction of a broken heart being mended tonight, and the happiness of a family full of pain that finally gets a night of comfort, but is like a pale silhouette, a mirror image.
It represents the never-ending reunion and the inevitable separation, but at least at this moment, it represents the fist of hope that resists disaster and pain.
Of course, if we have to change it to a cooler, more mysterious and more handsome name, we might as well imitate the "Three Generations Under One Roof Fist" and temporarily call it "Super Supreme Invincible Wayne Family Secret Art Family Perfection Fist!"
This punch pierced through the rain curtain and passed through two worlds, passed through the pain of two lives, and hit the laughing man's chin hard, blasting away the madman who wanted to drag others to hell with him.
He fell awkwardly into the mud.
The disgustingly morbid dark helmet was also thrown away, revealing a hateful and terrifying face. In the cold rain, it opened its dark eyes for the first time in this material world.
He saw the Doomsday Knight rushing towards him.
The latter raised the hideous and strange sonic axe in the rain and chopped forward with his last bit of strength.
The axe blade was getting closer and closer, laughing wildly and widening his eyes.
He seemed to see from the reflection of the cold blade that the Bat Family that belonged to him in the past was reaching out to him, but then the scene changed, and those who had trusted him, followed him, loved him, and were killed by him personally turned into revengeful ghosts, reaching out their claws towards him.
"puff"
The axe blade chopped down and penetrated the heart, completely severing the life.
A strange red light surged out and hit the Doomsday Knight, knocking him back.
Catwoman and Damian wanted to help but were rejected by the latter with a roar:
"No! Don't come near me! My hunt is over, my mission is over, I can finally return home, we won, I am laughing my ass off.
it's all over."
His breath gradually weakened. The master looked at him and could only see a pair of tired and satisfied eyes under the dark helmet. He did not need help.
So Bruce strode forward, and in the rain he looked at the dying man's laughter, and he said:
"You! You're the worst Batman and the worst Joker I've ever seen!"
"Really? Then why are you laughing?"
He laughed wildly and retorted:
"I can feel your joy even without using my eyes, hahahaha... You feel like you've won, you feel like you've defeated the Laughing Bat, you feel like you've brought hope to your world.
How naive.
What a good game, but Batman never loses, it’s me…I won! All of this…all of this was in my…plan…”
"Bang"
A bullet sent from high in the sky blew up the pale head, pushing the last sneer back into the depths of hell. Mason appeared in the rain and grasped the handle of the sonic axe that chopped into the heart of the laughing maniac.
With just a slight effort, the ferocious sharp blade was raised in his hand.
He glanced at the master who turned around and said:
“This is my trophy!”
“No one is competing with you.”
The master replied unhappily.
This battle also made him mentally exhausted, but after the battle, Batman felt even more troubled when he thought about facing the truth that had finally been revealed.
Then he heard Mason say in a strange voice:
"The Batman Hunting Competition ended successfully. The real Batman received zero points in this game, while the seeded player Mason Cooper won the championship with a three-point... no, four-point advantage.
Maybe I should give myself a new title, called 'Batman Doomsday'... I think no one would object, right?"
