Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

"The images, infrared and ultraviolet radiation, various waveforms and magnetic fields, are all so complete that they are indeed the complex conditions that a world should have, unlike those constructed illusions. Moreover, the No. 3 drone has also tested the collision and interaction with various objects over there according to the underlying logic. The tactile feedback is smooth, but no evil spirits have been detected?"

"No, there should be. The data here is almost identical to this one in every aspect, except for the magnetic field, which shows disordered fluctuations. Does this mean that the evil spirits over there have some influence on the magnetic field? And this is... the crystal that Kasa gave to Yotsuya Miko? What is that? Let me see..."

"—What the hell is this thing? Its energy level is higher than that of an entire nuclear power plant?!"

Chapter 50 Batman: What the hell?

Batman is cold, absolute, and calm. He would not be swayed in the slightest even if the world were to collapse. He is more robotic than a robot and more cold-blooded than a cold-blooded animal. If higher-dimensional beings exist in the world, then these higher-dimensional beings must be more human and more emotional than Batman.

So now, if you say, "Let's guess, is it possible that Batman is a human?" Haha, man, you've got me laughing! I declare this the best joke I've heard all day, bar none!

—The above constitutes the basic understanding of Batman held by everyone in Gotham City, excluding the Joker.

Because no one in Gotham City has ever seen Batman lose control of his emotions, well, except for the Joker.

But this is someone else's perception, someone else's opinion.

Only Bruce himself knew that before receiving years of training from Reshogu, he had always been an emotionally expressive young man who was easily seen through. Even after completing his apprenticeship under Reshogu, he still couldn't achieve the level of composure that was rumored outside, where he could remain calm even during the end of the world.

At least in those situations, he would definitely still frown in exasperation.

In terms of controlling his emotions, Bruce has to admit that, at least for now, he probably can't surpass the Joker and Reshogu.

So think about it, how could he possibly remain unmoved when faced with unimaginable situations? Perhaps when he puts on the bat mask and reveals his true identity as Batman, he would be unmoved even if the sky were to fall and the earth were to collapse—because that's how Batman should be.

But now, wearing the mask of Bruce Wayne, he still had to admit that he was visibly shocked and his facial expressions were slightly out of control.

Think about it, what kind of enemies did he face before this?

Oh, the university professor who releases terrifying poison gas, the fat gangster who likes to make deals, and the gamer who loves riddles.

What about something even more remarkable? An assassin master who has lived for a thousand years but has no special abilities whatsoever, a madman who is capricious and manipulates people everywhere—this madman also has no special abilities other than the tenacious regenerative ability of a cockroach. This is already the most formidable opponent.

Shortly before acquiring the chat group, Batman suffered his only defeat since appearing in Gotham, resulting in a broken spine. The enemy he faced at that time was just a muscular giant who constantly injected himself with technological drugs. Even though the drugs could boost his strength to two tons, Bane was still just a normal human being!

And now?

Okay, let's take a look.

Well, after comparing the data transmitted back by the three drones and eliminating all possible errors, the transparent blue crystal that could be held in the hand of a Japanese high school girl who had just turned sixteen was at least a hundred times purer than all known energy sources, including electricity, oil, solar energy, nuclear energy, and all other forms of energy.

What is this concept?

Well, in short, it's a concept that Bruce Wayne can't create at all and doesn't know how to create.

As for the level of energy contained within this crystal...

"Haha."

People can actually laugh when they're extremely speechless.

Bruce sat back in his chair, closed his eyes, and kept pinching the bridge of his nose.

Given that Bane, with his two-ton strength, can defeat Batman and break Batman's spine in public, how many Bane could the cunning and scheming King of Acting, who can casually produce a weapon capable of blowing up an island with a level of technology so advanced that Wayne Technologies cannot decipher it, kill in one go?

Bruce thought about it and realized that no matter what enemy they faced, Bane would probably feel that he had the upper hand. So sometimes it was quite enviable that this silly kid was so arrogant and confident.

"Hmm? Sir, I think I heard Bane's name?"

Alfred returned after finishing his business and entered the sterile room where the alarm had been removed and there was no risk of infection. He said with relief, "You don't need to worry too much. Bane doesn't have the experience of Arkham Asylum, and you were ruthless. If he were to escape and cause trouble, it would be at least a month before he does."

“If only I had Bane to worry about right now, Alfred.” Bruce pinched the bridge of his nose, opened his eyes, and forced himself to regain his composure.

Alfred was truly the best butler; seeing this, he immediately understood: "Judging from your expression, has some terrible suspicion been confirmed?"

Bruce remained silent, offering neither an answer nor a denial.

He actually wanted to say no, but that was indeed the case.

From the moment the chat group appeared, Kasa acted as if he had no desires or wants. The only time he slipped up was when Hachiman Hikigaya mentioned the Ultraman series. At that time, Kasa even made a request to obtain the complete set of Ultraman discs, especially the Land of Light series.

There's obviously a reason for this; these things are so important that Kassar could temporarily put aside his act and disregard his own desires and needs in front of his Bruce.

So what is the reason for this?

First of all, it absolutely cannot be of a physical meaning. The disc itself has no practical function, so obviously the important thing is the content engraved on it.

So, let's make a bold assumption: is it possible that the Ultraman series holds great significance for Kasa because of its storylines? For example, obtaining these things would be equivalent to Kasa having foresight into the future?

When they first introduced themselves in the chat group, Hibiki Yuta mentioned superheroes, which startled Bruce at the time, making him think his identity was about to be exposed. Fortunately, it wasn't. Later, he didn't forget about it and asked Hibiki Yuta for his so-called superhero works.

After receiving the red envelope, I discovered it was from an American comic book series called Marvel, which features many fictional, masked superheroes.

Yes, just like Batman.

Although Marvel is a fictional comic, imagine if the creators on Hibiki Yuta's side just happened to come up with a character called Batman and drew a superhero comic with a storyline of Batman fighting the Joker and the Penguin, and it just happened to be exactly the same as reality here, is that possible?

Given how vast the multiverse is, is it possible that this situation might just happen by chance?

It's possible, it's definitely possible.

"So... is it possible that the world of Ultraman actually exists?"

Bruce's gaze sharpened!

Chapter 51 Batman's Black Heart, Clash with Kassadin

【I am Batman】: "Speaking of empathy, I suddenly noticed something and I have to tell you. Yuta and Hachiman, don't be afraid, this is a chilling secret. You might not be able to sleep tonight after hearing it."

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "It seems like something ominous, and I'm a bit conflicted."

[Coward]: "I'm fine. I can be friends with Takarada now. I've made more than halfway to achieving my dream. I'm not afraid of anything now. But if Hachiman doesn't want to, then let's just forget about it."

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "Ugh, doesn't this make it seem like I'm the only coward? Damn it! If I didn't know you were genuinely innocent, anyone else doing this would definitely be stirring things up and playing the green tea bitch, Yuta!"

[Coward]: "Huh? Is that so? I don't quite understand."

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "So that's why you're not good at this. Oh well, this is just one aspect of the real thing, a side effect that must be borne. Phew... I'm ready, let's go!"

【I am Batman】: "Think about it carefully. Before awakening the Yin-Yang Eyes, for sixteen years, Jianzi also believed that the world was purely materialistic and that there were no ghosts or monsters. During those days, Jianzi's world was no different from our world except for the difference in the specific year and the specific level of technology."

【I am Batman】: "So, you might as well imagine it."

【I am Batman】: "In my world, your world, and our world, are we really that clean? You know, according to what Kasa said before, there are evil spirits in his world too, and he has even dealt with them."

【I am Batman】: "I don't mean to scare you, but is it possible that in the reality of the three of us, around us, there are countless strange and evil spirits lurking, just like in the story, watching us with predatory eyes, ready to prey on and hunt us down at any moment?"

【I am Batman】: "Perhaps we are just like the children before we awaken our Yin-Yang Eyes, aren't we?"

[Coward]: "..."

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "..."

The ominous words fell.

Although he kept emphasizing that he didn't want to scare people, Bruce chose the most persuasive and suggestive language that would induce associations and self-panic in people, employing the most sophisticated psychological manipulation on the two innocent high school students.

The results were outstanding.

When Bruce saw the two children fall into a long silence, he knew that his tactics had been a great success. Although out of consideration for their pride, Hibiki Yuta and Hikigaya Hachiman did not scream and spread their fear in the group chat, their hearts must have been in turmoil like the waves.

Thank goodness, thank goodness.

Bruce felt extremely lucky. Fortunately, there were only two cunning old foxes in the chat group, himself and Kassadin. Despite being at a significant disadvantage in terms of raw strength, he could still use his skills to disrupt the situation and test the waters.

Otherwise, if those three innocent high school students in the group were also like him, then Kassadin would truly be as impenetrable as a hedgehog, leaving him with no way to attack.

"Let me see, Kassa, just who you really are!"

Bruce stared intently at the chat group screen.

[Best Actor]: "Huh?"

[Actor]: "Now that Uncle Luther says it, it does seem like it's not impossible? But, well... regardless of whether there are evil spirits over there, as long as we can't see them, it should be pretty safe, right? As long as it doesn't deteriorate as drastically as it has recently over here, the harm shouldn't be too great, so it's better if we can't see them."

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "No, although from a profit perspective it's definitely best not to see it, the thought of the possibility Uncle Luther mentioned sends chills down my spine."

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "Just imagine, if a group of evil spirits were to surround me every day, including when I take a shower, and even when I get married in the future, that would be too, uh... I can't accept it, I can't take it, my head is spinning."

[Coward]: "Don't faint! Don't fall, Hachiman, I'm scared. Let's hold on together, brother! I'm even more scared!"

[Coward]: "I regret it. I shouldn't have let Uncle Luther say those things."

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "It's all over, there's no hope. Ah, I wish I could erase my memories! Ahhh!"

[Actor]: "Well... although it might sound a bit shameless and greedy for me, as the one being rescued, to say this, I think if the blue crystal I'm given isn't something that's particularly, particularly precious to Uncle Kasa, then if you're really afraid, why don't you ask him to give you one too?"

[Actor]: "The crystal the uncle gave me has an automatic detection effect. If there are evil spirits nearby, it will suddenly light up and instantly dispel all evil spirits. It's incredibly powerful!"

"it is good!"

Inside the Bat Cave, Bruce beamed with delight and couldn't help but praise it, his tone high-spirited.

Now, it's entirely possible to rule out the possibility that the entire chat group was a massive scam orchestrated by a single person using multiple accounts to deliberately deceive him.

But when it comes to Kassadin, you can never be too careful.

After discovering the energy intensity of the crystal that Kassa gave to Miko Yotsuya, as transmitted back by the drone, Bruce had been thinking about how to obtain the same item in a reasonable, discreet, and most importantly, without asking Kassa for it.

He still hasn't given up the possibility that Kassa might be a demon, so he would never ask Kassa for anything, as that could lead him into a trap.

But he really wanted a crystal.

That would require a roundabout approach.

In this extremely short time, Bruce devised a plan to induce fear in Yuta Hibiki and Hachiman Hikigaya, making them reach out to Kassapa for help.

If Kassa is forced by his character to help these two, can he really ignore Bruce, who is on par with them? He'll definitely have to give him a share too.

Then we'll have material to analyze and investigate ourselves.

What if Kassa makes an excuse not to give it to him?

It doesn't matter.

This proves that even if he played the role of a foolish good guy, those crystal-level energy resources were still precious to Kasa, and taking out just one would be enough to deplete his resources.

This allowed Bruce to get a glimpse of the true upper limit of Kassa's strength to some extent.

"Come on, let me see, Kassadin, what your response will be!"

Chapter 52 As long as you believe, Ultraman will come to your side.

At that time, Kasa was still in the port of Ot.

The reason he brought Mebius and his students along to aid L77 this time might be seen by other planets and creatures as a special favor, but no one in the Land of Light would think that way.

The truth is indeed very simple and pure: it just so happened that he received a reminder from Old Man Bei and had a new teaching approach, and it just so happened that the Ampera Empire was restless and needed to accelerate the students' growth, and it just so happened that there was a ready-made training ground for the students to hone their skills.
