American Comics: Trading Tom Cat

.........

At this moment, in the underground base.

Batman, who was still struggling violently to break free of his restraints, suddenly changed his expression and looked in one direction.

Suddenly, a figure appeared on the sofa not far away, holding a drink that was hard to tell whether it was tea or red wine, watching Locke with a spectator's attitude.

Batman's face twitched. I know you don't like me, but isn't this blatant spectator attitude a bit impolite?

Also, how long have you been watching this, you bastard?!

He was screaming inside, but he had to force a cold, awkward, and unsightly smile onto his face.

"Mr. Locke, could you please put me down?"

"Put you down? Why should I put you down?"

"That damned Luther Lex has created a monster, I have to stop him..."

Before he could finish speaking, Locke abruptly interrupted him: "Stop? What can you stop?"

"A Doomsday at the sub-Celestial level, still evolving towards the Celestial level. Even Kryptonians of the same level are no match for Doomsday, let alone a Doomsday of this level."

"Even with three sub-godfathers and Wonder Woman, they are definitely no match for that Doomsday."

"So, tell me, what can you stop this from happening?"

Batman instantly fell into deep thought.

"The Flash can provide some support, Cyborg can provide some technological assistance, Aquaman—oh, right, Aquaman hasn't appeared yet—and the other members can provide some combat support, more or less. But you, Batman, tell me, what help can you offer?"

"You have no superpowers, you're not superhuman, you can't provide any assistance, and your combat strength is utterly negligible; you couldn't withstand a single blow. What use are you besides going to watch the show?"

Silence, an even longer silence.

"What's even funnier is that, despite being completely useless, you possess the ability to subdue most members of the Justice League. In other words, you're of no help in fighting external enemies, and every member of the Justice League needs to be constantly on guard against a stab in the back from you."

"Just like this day that has already destroyed a city, and will most likely kill most of the Justice League members next, and there is even a greater than 40% chance that it will wipe out the entire Justice League and finally destroy the whole world. The process of its birth is also closely related to you."

"You're of no help to external enemies, but you can become the most terrifying boss to your own people."

"Don't you understand, Batman? You are the greatest evil in the world!"

After a moment, Batman took a deep breath: "Are you done?"

"If you're not happy with what I'm saying, I can listen to your scolding for a few more days. But please allow this process to be postponed a bit. I need to go out now. Even if I can't help in any way, even if I can only shield Superman from the most ordinary attack, I still have my own value."

"Haha..." Locke laughed, a very happy laugh.

He laughed loudly, then shook his head.

"I really don't understand why such a strange guy like you would be born."

"Your unwavering belief and will are truly rare."

"It's a belief that can be described as stubborn, which is probably why you would attract the attention of such a powerful being."

Batman's expression shifted instantly, and he abruptly looked up at Locke: "You mean, the birth of this monster is due to certain..."

"Hush, your strength is not enough to think about things you shouldn't think about, otherwise, your memories will be distorted."

Batman fell silent again, then spoke again after a moment.

"You didn't come here just to tease or scold me, did you? You have some purpose, and it's aimed at me, right?"

Locke didn't hide his agreement and nodded.

"I can help you take down Doomsday and prevent your Justice League from suffering casualties or even being wiped out. In exchange, you do one thing for me."

"it is good!"

Without any hesitation, Batman readily agreed.

Locke laughed. This Batman was truly a guy who was both annoying and intriguing.

In Locke's eyes, this guy had no redeeming qualities whatsoever, but for some reason, he had a feeling that if this guy agreed, he would do whatever it took to do it, and there was even a good chance that he could accomplish it.

"Do you remember the seven fundamental forces of the universe that I told you about before?"

"I remember, I need to recite it directly from memory."

"That's not necessary."

"The seven fundamental forces of the universe are not the entirety of this universe. There are also seven hidden forces that correspond to them. Among these seven hidden forces is one called the Sixth Commentary, a power that even I cannot fully comprehend."

“I don’t know if this power can be found elsewhere, but I do know that it exists on the Origin Wall. The Origin Wall is a special kind of power that can trap any existence under the multiverse. I need you to go to the Origin Wall to help me obtain the Sixth Note.”

"Of course, to avoid you dying outright, I'll tell you a secret: among the seven major forces of the emotional spectrum, the strongest, the White Lamp of Life, has the ability to detach itself from the Wall of Origin. This is a rare ability that allows one to break free from the Wall of Origin without entering the multiverse, and you have the potential to control the White Lamp."

Batman listened quietly, memorizing each word individually and then analyzing them.

A moment later, he raised his head and looked at Locke.

"According to you, this power is terrifying, and I seem to be the only one who could possibly obtain it, right?"

Locke shook his head, then nodded: "You can't say that entirely, but in some situations, no one is more suitable than you."

"That's not enough!"

"The risks and rewards are completely disproportionate."

"It costs more money!"

Locke laughed. He didn't really mind Batman's money-grubbing attitude. Their perspectives were different. No matter how much Batman offered, he couldn't come up with a price that would move Locke.

Furthermore, it must be admitted that if one wants to obtain the sixth annotation, this guy is indeed the most qualified choice. The Wall of Origin is something that even Locke doesn't really want to touch; that thing can even trap the multiverse!

Of course, that refers to the deep Origin Wall, which contains an extraordinary being, a being that guarantees at least a multi-dimensional existence, and may even go further.

If it's just the outer layer, it's still not difficult for the multi-layered structure.

Even so, Locke didn't want to touch that thing. It wouldn't be a big deal to pay a tiny price and let Batman, a guy with such a big heart that he almost had no sense of awe, try it out.

Locke was not disappointed by the failure; he considered other methods, hoping that if they succeeded, he would reap a great reward.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"A powerful artifact? Unparalleled power? It can even alter your bloodline!"

Batman shook his head: "I don't crave external forces, nor do I want any strange bloodlines. I want you to grant me one request!"

Locke narrowed his eyes. This cunning and ruthless bat spoke in such a tone; it was no simple matter that even a child could understand such a request.

"any request?"

"I need you to isolate those truly terrifying beings from spying on everything on Earth!"

This request is simply outrageous!

Those qualified to be flag bearers or entertainers are at least individuals, and there are many individuals at multiple levels.

It even involves other parallel universes, and there are even more old monsters, both in the open and in the shadows.

However, just a few seconds later, a smile appeared on Locke's lips.

"If you can bring back the sixth commentary, I will grant your request."

Once he gets his hands on the most troublesome sixth annotation, Locke is very confident that he can directly break through the first layer of boundaries. At that time, most of the multiverse in the DC Universe will have to give Locke some face.

After all, no cult would willingly get beaten up just to watch a spectacle.

"it is good!"

"Snapped!"

Locke snapped his fingers, and Batman's restraints instantly vanished.

Batman ignored his bleeding limbs and stared intently at Locke.

"The later requirements can be completed later, and we don't need to wait until later to deal with the monsters above, right?"

“Of course.” Locke nodded.

"Ankaragang, you've been a couch potato long enough, come out and stretch your legs."

"This will be a perfect opportunity for the people of this planet to see what...Heavenly Father truly means!"

Chapter 189 Heavenly Father! Heavenly Father

"Roar!!!!"

A roar like that of an ancient beast shook the heavens and the earth. Superman was instantly blasted away, leaving a terrifying trench in the ground that stretched to the horizon and was at least five thousand meters long!

The Martian hunter's heart skipped a beat, and his hair stood on end.

This monster's power is truly outrageous. Although he is also at the level of a sub-father, strength is not really his strong point. Both Superman and Zod are stronger than him.

Even Superman was punched into this state. Just thinking about taking that blow myself gives me the creeps.

People will die! People will really die!

However, Martian Manhunter chickened out, but the others did not.

Wonder Woman, wielding the Hercules bracers in her left hand and the Vulcan sword in her right, charged forward with an incredibly fierce and powerful attack, dealing damage that was even greater than Superman's.

After all, Superman can only use his fists. Although his stats are superior to Wonder Woman's across the board, in terms of explosive power, he really can't surpass Wonder Woman with all her magical weapons.

Unfortunately, it was all for naught. Doomsday possessed a super regenerative ability far exceeding that of Kryptonians; even with his heart pierced, he could fully recover in just a few breaths.

Moreover, as she continued to be injured, Doomsday's ferocity seemed to grow stronger. Wonder Woman soon couldn't hold on any longer and unleashed an unprecedentedly powerful punch. Even with the Hercules bracers, which were amplified tenfold in strength, Wonder Woman was unable to withstand it for a moment, and the ground beneath her feet kept cracking.

Just then, a crimson laser beam suddenly descended from the sky, striking Doomsday heavily and instantly sending it flying dozens of meters away!

General Zod, dressed in a Kryptonian combat suit, appeared in the void, and his entrance was undeniably imposing.

Seeing Doomsday, who was attacked by his heat rays but was only retreating without showing any obvious injuries, General Zod's expression turned cold.

"Kryptonian warriors, charge!"

Instantly, beams of heat shot out from all directions, all striking Doomsday. Doomsday was once again blasted away and forced back, letting out a furious roar.

The next moment, a heat ray much thicker than those of other Kryptonians came from afar and struck Doomsday again; this was Superman's heat ray.

"And I!"

With a roar, the Naruto Hunter Ray also erupted, its power no less than Superman's heat ray, and even slightly exceeding it.

"And don't underestimate demigods, you ugly monsters!"

Wonder Woman brought her hands together, unleashing a terrifying torrent of divine power, even more powerful than the ray attacks of the Celestial Father, which slammed heavily into Doomsday.

More than double-digit numbers of terrifying ray attacks all landed on the same individual; this single blow was enough to completely obliterate a sub-father in an instant!

Even something as powerful as Doomsday was instantly blasted away by this combined attack, sliding across the earth in a terrifying abyss before crashing heavily into the nearby sea.

After a while...

boom! ! ! !

A deafening explosion rang out, unleashing a tremendous shockwave that swept in all directions, further devastating the already ravaged city. Almost all the superheroes were instantly blasted away.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Some rather disheveled superheroes emerged from all directions, either walking or crawling out.

They were all in poor condition, and apart from General Zod and his group who joined at the end, almost everyone had some kind of injury.

Even someone as strong as Superman had bruises and welts all over his body; his steel body had almost reached its limit under Doomsday's punches.

"It's over, isn't it?"

Looking at the sea gradually calming down in the distance, Wonder Woman said.

Superman, enduring the intense pain coursing through his body, thought, "It should be over now."

"Under such an attack, even the most terrifying monster would be killed."

With more than double-digit numbers of Kryptonians, plus three sub-Celestials, and the full force of a demigod's attack, even in Superman's understanding, no being could stand against it.

"Let's go back, everyone's injuries are quite serious."

"Yes, it's time to go back."

"Watch out, that monster isn't dead yet!"

Suddenly, a loud roar came from afar. Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was Batman, who had disappeared for some time.
