The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Chapter 230 The Collapse of Steel

The moment Batman finished speaking, Rachel instantly looked up, her eyes beneath the hood fixed intently on Batman.

A jet-black magical tentacle shot out from the shadows beneath Rachel's feet, lunging menacingly at Batman.

"Rachel, no!"

Tim instinctively cried out, but his eyes flickered with a moment of painful struggle as they glanced at Li Zhen's corpse beside Rachel.

Superman wanted to stop her, but the red light in Kara's eyes hadn't faded yet. He didn't dare gamble that if he withdrew now, Kara, whose personality had changed to a point that was quite unfamiliar to him, would continue to attack.

As the Flash, supporting himself on the stretcher, began to crackle with electricity, Rachel raised a hand hidden under her cloak and pointed it gently in his direction through the cloak.

In fact, Rachel had already decided to kill Batman the moment he admitted it, but she knew that with so many people at the Justice League, they wouldn't just stand there and watch her attack Batman.

So Rachel was prepared.

Having spent a long time with Li Zhen, Rachel naturally learned some of Li Zhen's tactical thinking.

She doesn't need to deal with everyone present, because among the Justice League members, only Superman and The Flash can react to the speed at which her dark magic is activated.

Since Superman was held back by Kara, when Rachel was about to make her move, simply restricting the Flash's movements would greatly increase the probability of success.

Just as Li Zhen has always practiced, he has super speed in attacking and super speed in attacking, but no super speed in whipping and dodging. The rest are mostly ordinary-level reaction speeds, not worth mentioning.

What she prepared for the Flash was a vicious magic that had never been used before, solely to ensure that the speedster would be completely incapacitated for a period of time.

A magical raven shrouded in black energy shot out from her fingertips. It was a type of soul magic, and apart from Constantine, no one else present could observe its existence in the real world.

The Flash had just released the stretcher and hadn't even put any weight on his legs when he collapsed in pain.

The magical tentacle that had already been unleashed had its tip transformed into a sharp, reflective blade, aiming to stab at Batman's chest, who was now only wearing a basic suit.

But there's one thing Rachel overlooked.

Jason, who had mutated into a gray giant, easily broke free from the lasso of submission that Artemis had been holding.

And to Artemis's astonishment, he snatched the Lasso of Submission from her hand, raised his arm and swung it, using the Lasso of Submission, which also contained magic, to shatter the sharp tip of the magical tentacle.

The attack weakened the magical tentacle's destructive power and altered its flight trajectory.

Finally, Batman, who was standing still, was lashed hard in the waist and abdomen by the magical tentacles.

Even though Jason weakened Rachel's vengeful, deadly blow, Batman was still whipped so hard he spat out blood and flew backward.

Firestorm quickly reached out and used the splitting wave, which could alter atomic structure, to turn the pile of rubble behind Batman into a slowly flowing pile of resin.

Seeing that the crowd had realized what was happening and stood in front of her, Rachel remained silent for a moment before lowering her hand.

"None of you are qualified to discuss how to settle him."

Rachel lowered her hood, pulled Li Zhen's body, and sank into the shadow dimension.

Once Rachel left, the Flash, who had been rolling around with his head in his hands, finally calmed down a little and weakly got up from the ground.

However, no one paid attention to the aggrieved Flash at this moment. Everyone was either looking at Batman lying in a puddle of resin staring blankly at the sky, or on guard against the gray giant holding the Lasso of Submission.

Jason tossed the lasso behind him, looked at Batman, and let out a sarcastic laugh that was hard to decipher.

"I thought the Batman from other universes might be different, but you seem to be just as bad as the one I know. He didn't kill the people who should have been killed, but you killed the people who shouldn't have been killed."

Artemis, filled with shame and anger, held up the lasso of submission, her other arm already reaching for the giant axe she carried behind her back, her eyes fixed on Jason's retreating figure with suspicion.

"You'd better behave!"

Jason shrugged and answered Artemis with a seemingly unrelated remark.

"My surrender just now was merely wishful thinking on my part. Now it seems I shouldn't have had any illusions about Batman in any world."

After speaking, Jason suddenly raised his head, took a deep breath, and swallowed all the remaining blue powder in the air.

He then shoved Artemis aside and turned to leave.

Batman, who had been lying down, finally made a move. He tumbled down from the pile of resin that was flowing like a mountain of melting ice cream and staggered as he tried to get up.

"No, Jason, don't leave here, I haven't healed you yet—"

Batman's words froze everyone else who was about to stop the gray giant, even Superman stared in astonishment at Jason's retreating figure.

The Grey Giant paused briefly, but not because of Batman's pleas.

Jason's massive, muscular body began to shrink, and his body returned to the threshold of a normal person at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Only the red bone mask remained on his face, as if welded firmly.

He turned his head, and an eye that shone with a scarlet light from the recess in his mask locked onto Batman.

About a second.

Move it away.

"Batman can never cure Jason because Jason is dead."

Artemis, of course, could not tolerate Jason ignoring her like this, and besides, she didn't understand the grudges and entanglements involved. She simply raised her giant axe and chopped at Jason.

Batman's eyes widened as Jason's body turned into a cloud of gray smoke the moment the giant axe fell.

The giant axe landed, shattering the brick Jason had been standing on into pieces.

Artemis frowned, pulled out the giant axe, and shouldered it again.

She was somewhat annoyed and wanted to turn back and ask others for their advice.

Then she saw Batman rushing towards her.

Even for the warriors of Paradise Island, this was a man whose existence could only be vaguely understood through Princess Diana's indirect descriptions.

For some reason, Artemis suddenly felt a sense of unease towards this man.

That guy from Diana's words shouldn't be in such a sorry state? In pain?

He collapsed at his own feet, reaching out as if he had lost his mind to scoop up the gray smoke that was fading into nothingness.

This inevitably led Artemis to feel a slight contempt for the man.

So she stepped over the Batman on the ground.

Since the Justice League members didn't seem to care that the "virus mastermind" had escaped, the Amazon warriors who were only there to help because of Diana had even less reason to stay.

Just as he was about to order the other Paradise Island warriors to leave with him, Superman, who was finally free, instantly flashed in front of Artemis, helped Batman up from the ground, and looked apologetically at the Paradise Island warriors.

"Um, I'm sorry, but everyone may need to be tested to make sure they are not carrying the virus before leaving."

T

Artemis glanced at Superman's massive pectoral muscles and put the giant axe down without hesitation.

"Of course, we will cooperate."
