Collapsing, the whole class turned into aliens upon waking up

Looking at the body falling from the sky, Brainiac slowly called out the other person's name.

"A killing machine, really... it's been a while."

Looking at his former teammates, the Laughing Bat grinned, revealing a slightly manic expression.

"What are you trying to do, you bastard?"

Ares spoke in an icy tone, and the Laughing Bat paused slightly upon hearing this.

Merciless Iron Fist, you've really made something of yourself, daring to talk to me like that now.

"It seems you've been through quite a bit in Teyvat. But... this attitude of yours when you talk to me, this condescending attitude of yours, is really interesting to me."

However, even if you become stronger, I will become stronger than you. Having received the blessing of Perpetua, my strength is probably unmatched by anyone in the Dark Knights.

The killing machines are incompetent and merciless, and the iron fist is useless. Considering the remaining value you have, I can spare your lives. This is my mercy as the former leader of the Dark Knights.

"Choose: submit to me, the laughing bat with unparalleled wisdom, or die here?"

Looking at the figure before him, the Laughing Bat made no attempt to conceal his attitude, for this was a game of utter domination.

Loss, defeat?

How could such a thing be possible? Even though the plan against Perpetua was not yet complete, the outcome of a real battle was already quite clear, given the blessings he had received from the Mother Goddess of Creation.

We will win.

A mere killing machine and a merciless iron fist, even with their considerable opportunities in Teyvat, can never compare to the powerful body that I have forged through various schemes and coincidences.

"That's really brave. Who gave you such courage?"

Unable to resist, Ares drew his sword, declaring that gods cannot be insulted and that this place would be stained with blood today.

"Times have changed, Bat of Laughter. I am no longer the same person I was before. Your chances of defeating me are only 0%. You'd better not do anything foolish."

Looking at the figure before him, Brainiac slowly began to speak.

Having witnessed the prowess of various all-around powerhouses, Brainiac's progress in the Honkai world has been remarkably rapid, far surpassing that of the original work.

"Do you dare refuse me, who possesses the gifts of Papetua?"

The Bat Who Laughs, deliberately adopting an arrogant attitude, said this in preparation for making a group of enemies for Perpetua in this world.

Teyvat is full of powerful warriors; who knows if Brainiac and Ironfist, who seem to have made great progress, have somehow gotten close to some powerful figure.

But that doesn't matter. What I'm after is spreading Papetua's infamy throughout Teyvat. Only when Papetua clashes with the local strongmen will I have the confidence to maneuver more steadily in the midst of it.

In the next instant, the grace belonging to Papetua erupted, and terrifying power swept across the surrounding sky.

Even with the Batman Who Laughs's control over power, it was difficult to perfectly contain the immense strength of this power. Barbatos's unused gift and the new power that Perpetua had infused into him—possessing both of these powers, the Batman Who Laughs looked at the two people before him and a smirk appeared on his face.

"Hmph, you actually dare to challenge me? In that case, I'll show you my sword."

Ares waved his right hand, summoning the sword forged from divine steel. He then prepared to give his two old teammates a good beating first, and then, using his identity as the Perpetual Agent, wagged his index finger at the Laughing Bat of Teyvat.

"You are the challenger."

Black, invisible claws emerged from behind, and the laughing bat's power at this moment was like that of a demon god descending to earth.

Although it is far from comparable to his peak Black Knight form, it still possesses a devastating and overwhelming power against ordinary opponents.

Black, invisible claws surged from behind the Laughing Bat, evolving into countless splitting black fluids that parted towards Ares. In the next instant, the Laughing Bat saw an incomparably dazzling sword light.

In the next instant, every trace of darkness contained the power to annihilate all things in the universe, and all the countless black fluids vanished into nothingness.

The Laughing Bat froze on the spot, wondering if... he had opened it the wrong way.

Brother, are you a ruthless iron fist?

When did my good-for-nothing counterpart become so outrageous?

The chilling glint of that sword strike would probably make even his current nominal boss, Papetua, uncomfortable.

"What kind of tile is this?"

Faced with the outcome of his attack being neutralized by a single sword strike, the Laughing Bat instinctively asked.

"This is the gift of Barbatos, the dragon of the Dark Multiverse."

A wicked glint of amusement welled up in Ares's eyes. Bruce Wayne, ah, he knew this man himself, was one of the few humans he could actually know.

From the memories of the merciless and iron-fisted man, she also learned a lot about the man in front of her.

This guy seems to have betrayed Barbatos and chosen to run away alone. I'm curious to see what kind of expression this Bruce counterpart will have after seeing how powerful I am now, thanks to Barbatos.

Is Barbatos really that fierce?

The Laughing Bat was slightly taken aback. This... this doesn't make sense.

He himself believed that the sword strike just now could have killed Barbatos, and facing Ares, whose strength even surpassed his current level, pointing a sword at him, the Bat of Laughter said without hesitation:

"Iron Fist, you and I are not the same type of guys who fight on instinct. You are not a suitable opponent for me."

At times like this, it's best not to go looking for the Merciless Iron Fist. With that kind of power, even the Merciless Iron Fist would believe he could kill you with a single sword strike.

"Then, shall I be your opponent?"

Brainiac's voice rang out at this moment, and the Bat Who Laughs breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing it.

The killing machine, this guy is arguably the most rational one in the Dark Knights, and at this moment he should be cooperating to give himself a way out.

However, upon closer reflection, it seems more likely that the merciless iron fist is lying. If Barbatos could truly grant such immense power to the merciless iron fist so easily, why would he be staying in some Dark Multiverse? He would have already single-handedly beaten up the entire Myriad Spheres.

"You and I are both beings who rely on intelligence. Come, killing machine, fight me!"

The black claws spread out from his back again; the Batman Who Laughs had clearly found a new enemy.

In response, Brainiac snapped his fingers crisply.

The next moment, the surrounding space cracked open, and countless metal tentacles appeared, binding the Laughing Bat into a dumpling, unable to escape.

Honkai Impact 3rd: Chapter 1305: Why was the maniac able to join the Dark Knights? Actually...

Unable to break free

Damn it, I can't break free from these tentacles no matter how hard I try.

To escape from here, Papetua's personal presence would likely be necessary.

"What kind of tile is this?"

Realizing he was now under someone else's control, and despite having guessed that his old teammate would become stronger, he never expected him to be this ridiculously powerful, the Laughing Bat instinctively asked.

“Hmm... Barbatos’s blessing.”

After a moment's thought, Brainiac said without hesitation, "Since my nominal ally has said so, I should cooperate."

Do you think I'm easy to fool?

The Bat Who Laughs was momentarily speechless at Brainiac's words.

At this moment, a wisp of Papetua's will, connected to the Laughing Bat, became alert.

Who is this Barbatos, this master?

I can hardly see the true strength of these two guys, but the power they have shown is enough to prove that their strength is probably no less than that of my descendants in the three-dimensional realm.

"This Joker-Batman hybrid from a parallel universe is just too lame."

Meanwhile, in the DC universe, a group of supervillains watched the Batman Who Laughs' live stream and commented on it.

"Hmm, is it possible, I mean, is it possible, that the fusion of the Joker's spirit and Batman's spirit would actually result in a great weakness?"

"Batman, I feel like he mostly relies on calm, strategic planning in battle, while the Joker fights with a madness far beyond what ordinary people can understand. If they merge, one moment they're insane, the next they're normal—isn't it better if they don't merge at all?"

After thinking for a moment, the Kite Man said this, and Hugo nodded in agreement: "Perhaps Batman plus the Joker is not the kind of combination of one plus one, but rather a weakening of the two original entities."

In this parallel universe, when the Batman Who Laughs recruits, he claims to be a fusion of Batman and the Joker, without revealing the existence of the Joker virus.

At this moment, Teyvat looked at Ares, the Bat of Laughter, and couldn't help but shake his head: "You are the worst teammate I have ever led. Bat of Laughter, your strength is enough to form a separate echelon in our Dark Knights."

To be honest, if it weren't for Lord Barbatos's high regard for you, I would have really wanted to kick you out of the Dark Knights. Your strength is far too far from the average level of the Dark Knights.

You are merely a mortal born in an era before the emergence of enemies that our Dark Knights generally encounter.

Ares said matter-of-factly, "As for calling him Lord Barbatos?"

Ha, when the gap in strength is high enough, there is no feeling of humiliation. Knowing Barbatos' strength, I see this guy as just casually making fun of me.

Oh no, I've become the weakest member of the Dark Knights.

Upon hearing this, the Laughing Bat was momentarily speechless. Was Teyvat truly so full of opportunities?

Judging from the attitude of the merciless and iron-fisted, it seems that they obtained some remarkable opportunity in Teyvat and then encountered many powerful enemies they had never faced before, which led to their achievements.

As for the Dark Knights... perhaps I am now the weakest member of the Dark Knights.

However, it's not a big problem. Everything will be fine once I take advantage of the fact that both Papetua and Tiwat are weakened and launch my amazing plan.

However, it seems unlikely that the group of supervillains currently watching him will be easy to subdue.

The Batman Who Laughs thought to himself, and as he expected, the supervillains in the base fell silent.

"Hiss, have we been fooled by the Laughing Bat? That guy actually dared to say that he is the strongest member of that Dark Knights."

Judging from the attitude of the other members of the Dark Knights, the Batman Who Laughs seems like just a menial laborer.

The Riddler's voice rang out at this moment, realizing that he might have overestimated the Batman Who Laughs's importance among the group of blues.

"They were completely and utterly crushed; it was a terrible sight."

Cheetah said mercilessly that although the villains summoned by The Batman Who Laughs did not include Darkseid or the Anti-Monitor, they had summoned quite a few villains from other heroes on Earth.

"How did such a weak guy manage to infiltrate the Dark Knights? And he can talk to fish?"

Captain Cold made a sarcastic remark, to which Orm gave him a disapproving look: "You dare to disrespect Atlantis?"

"Hehe, I have quite a few guesses about how he infiltrated the Dark Knights. You may not know this, but I guess the Batman Who Laughs was able to join the Dark Knights with such weak strength for some unspeakable reason."

Otherwise, how could the Dark Knights have the Batman Who Laughs as the weakest member? Actually, I think it's mostly because the Batman Who Laughs sold himself to Barbatos; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to sway someone like Barbatos.

Vandal Savage's voice rang out at that moment, and the immortal's face revealed a sinister expression.

"You're talking bullshit. Batman would never do something like that. Uh, I'm not so sure about the Joker."

Bane spoke without hesitation, saying that he didn't want his nemesis to have such an outrageous experience, but he wasn't so sure about the Batman who claimed to be a fusion of Batman and Joker.

That madman, the Joker, it's not surprising that he'd do anything.

Meanwhile, in Teyvat, the Laughing Bat's mind raced, quickly figuring out what to do next.

Is it to directly summon the arrival of Papetua or...

Well, let's try our best to get out of this predicament first. I just found the weak point of this tentacle.

"Even though I am imprisoned by the killing machine and need to maintain the power of the outside world, I, the Laughing Bat, am still incredibly wise!"

The attack was launched at the space extended by the tentacles, and in the next instant, as the space closed, Brainiac's tentacles lost their energy supply and became weak.

Having glimpsed the energy's trajectory through its goggles, the Laughing Bat did not hesitate to try to escape the scene, but in the next instant, countless tentacles covered the sky and imprisoned everything around it.

"Cut off your own power source? Not a bad idea."

Brainiac said this, having only unleashed a casual attack without truly unleashing its full power.

At this moment, the Laughing Bat's mood sank. Hmph, this world has indeed exceeded his expectations, and his current situation is quite awkward.

In that case, it's time to play my last trump card; the person standing behind me now is Papetua.

"Papetua, save me!"

Without hesitation, the Laughing Bat shouted, attempting to summon the creation goddess from beyond the world.

At this moment, Ares did not hesitate and severed the connection without hesitation.

Honkai Impact 3rd: Chapter 1306: The Main Expedition Against the Bat Corps, Launch!

The coming of Papetua was prevented at this moment, or rather, the signal to call for Papetua's coming was given.

The Laughing Bat also lacked the means to forcibly pull beings like Papetuana into the game called Teyvat.

After all, the Batman Who Laughs may be more powerful now than he was in his Dark Metal era, but he is far from being as powerful as he was in his peak form during his Death Metal era.

"They actually hindered my actions. Do my old teammates really have so little confidence?"

Gazing at Ares, the Bat Who Laughs spoke these words.

The power revealed by that sword strike just now told him that Ares' strength was probably far above his own.
