I, V, Gotham Legend

"...at least tell me your name." Batman knew that there was no hope, so he had to settle for the next best thing, "At least let us know who sacrificed himself."

"Forget it. Our heritage has never been considered to be passed down by the world since ancient times, let alone a sinner like me." The old man did not feel depressed, and his eyes seemed to be bright again. "But you can go find my successor. He is the continuation of our lineage."

"..." Batman closed his mouth and looked straight into the old man's eyes.

“Remember this, no matter how he chooses his life in the future, when he carries our tens of thousands of years of heritage and fights for all mankind, his name is Shazam.”

As if he had left his last words, the old man's almost transparent body slowly rose into the air.

He burned up the last of his life and merged with the magic circle to add the final layer of resistance to the old enemy he had never met.

"..." Behind Batman, the old man who was caught by the Trailblazer's claws looked at the ascended old man, and the soulless eyes under the mask seemed to flash a ripple.

Batman put away the box of pellets, turned around and walked towards the Trailblazer: "Let's go, it's our turn to fight back."

……

When Valerie came out of cyberspace, she felt like a diver floating to the surface, and she even felt like she was choked by the water.

It wasn't until her wet hair stuck to her smooth forehead that she realized there was real water.

His body was already soaked. It should be that his high body temperature triggered the ice bomb, but the ice cubes produced by the ice bomb were melted by his extremely high body temperature.

I'm so lucky to still be alive.

Valerie retreated back into the cabin and leaned back in her chair, feeling her heart pounding.

"V...you're finally back." Old Joe's relieved voice sounded.

"I should have considered an internal drainage system when I made this mecha." Valerie lowered her head subconsciously. She couldn't see under her feet because of the two bulges, but she could guess that the floor was flooded.

Old Joe didn't respond, but automatically closed the engine cover: "Let's talk about it after the modification. It's dangerous now."

"What..." Before Valerie could ask clearly, the cabin suddenly shook and the BT mecha automatically dodged to the side.

A whip lashed along the edge of the mecha and hit the ground.

Valerie turned around while driving the mecha and saw a tall woman in a black tights, waving a whip in her hand ostentatiously.

"It should be you, the hacker who broke into the network at close range." The woman in black flicked her whip and pointed it at Valerie from a distance. "I saw you retreat into your armor! I want to get you."

"Is this a confession?" Valerie replied in the mecha, "Excuse me, I have decided to be single for the rest of my life."

"It was the kind grandmother who asked us to take you back. You will become our new sister." The woman in black curled her lips.

"So you're here to recruit again. I've already told Darkseid I refuse."

"That's a pity. The master is much kinder than the kind grandma." The woman raised the whip and prepared for a fight. "For grandma, she doesn't care whether you refuse or agree. As long as you are brought to her, you will become one of us."

"I am immune to any form of mind control," Valerie said disdainfully.

"So grandma prefers primitive methods...and so do I." The woman said, and rushed forward again, the whip in her hand generating an electric current.

However, just when she was less than six meters away from Valerie and her whip was ready to go, a green locomotive came out from the side and knocked her flying.

Green Lantern came in, his forehead covered with sweat: "I was scared to death, you woke up just in time."

"How dare you say that? This guy even ran in. How are you doing your job as a bodyguard?" Valerie pouted.

"..." Hal Jordan wiped the blood off his torn battle suit, "I'm fighting three people at the same time."

As he finished speaking, a woman dressed in white and a woman dressed in blue floated in from outside at the same time.

NO28. The crystallization of technology

"Do we want to fight here? If we accidentally trigger the cocooning stage, we'll be finished." The tall woman in red armor asked with a snort.

"So we have to make a quick decision." As she said this, the woman in black with the whip stood in the front, and she performed a set of whip flowers as if to show off her skills.

The whip brought up lightning as she moved, and it looked like exploding sparks in the dark room.

Valerie felt something familiar. She raised her hands while driving the mecha, and the same single-molecule lines with shining light came out from them. She also performed a set of whip flowers.

"It's the same type of weapon." Valerie said excitedly.

The woman in black took Valerie's action as a provocation. She gritted her teeth angrily and said, "Hackers, don't even think about fighting."

As she spoke, she took the lead and lashed the BT mecha with a whip wrapped in electric light.

But before BT was hit, a green wall appeared between the two and blocked the attack.

"There are two of us." Standing next to Valerie, Green Lantern felt his confidence return. "Don't think we have the advantage in numbers. When we join forces, we become exponentially stronger."

Although we haven't played many games together, we must at least regain the momentum.

The women looked at each other. Although they still disdained the Earth's natives, they still took Green Lantern's words seriously.

The blonde woman with a sword standing in the middle gestured to the two people on her left and right, then disappeared in an instant.

Valerie blinked, and the world slowed down in her eyes.

This time it was not Sian Westin, but a very ordinary scanning vision. After her intelligence was improved to its current level, whenever the scanning mode was turned on, her mind would run at super high speed.

This makes it very convenient to use hacking skills, but unfortunately, because she hadn't thought about it before, Valerie hasn't installed a hacker prosthesis for herself, so the only thing that has become faster is her thinking.

But you have to know that Valerie is now sitting in the mecha, controlling the mecha directly through the data cable, so her thinking becoming faster is no different from her own speed becoming faster.

She caught a glimpse of a blonde woman approaching her. The woman exaggeratedly waved her cloak and slashed at her with a sword.

The sword was so powerful that Valerie did not dare to be careless. She controlled the mecha to swing the single molecular line, trying to pull the woman's waist away before she was hit.

The woman forced herself to change her body movements, altering the direction of the sword in an awkward position, blocking the single-molecule line that was about to hit her.

The monomolecular thread wrapped around the woman's sword. She changed her strategy and stood still, trying to take advantage of the situation to compete with Valerie in strength.

But Valerie has more than just a few whips. The mecha's shoulder armor opens, revealing a gun muzzle.

"This is tracking." As he said this, a projectile was fired from the shoulder cannon.

The shell, flashing with cold light, turned and shot towards the woman's temple at an unscientific angle.

Veins popped out on the woman's forehead, but this time she didn't make a defensive move, as a red figure was already standing next to her.

The red-armored woman took the blast with her chest, and the explosion illuminated the dark room.

She retreated heavily, even bumping into the blonde woman, until she managed to stand without falling.

Valerie looked at several people in the mecha, analyzing their abilities and status based on the way they fought and their positions.

The blonde holding a long sword who is now competing with BT in strength should be the captain, and the red, huge woman is like a blood cow or a tank in the team.

There is another person.

Valerie looked at the display in front of the cockpit, which showed the scanned situation in the room.

Above his head behind him, Green Lantern did not fantasize about anything anymore, but directly poured out energy from the Green Lantern Ring. The dazzling green light was like a big hand, embedding the woman in black into the ceiling.

Valerie felt that she had to show her cards, so she raised her hand and stroked the tube on her back.

Although there was an ominous blue liquid flowing inside, it was not a poison like Bane's, but a refrigeration liquid that Valerie had made herself.

This thing certainly didn't inject blood. The blue liquid flowed into her metal skeleton from the right tube and was then drawn out from the left tube, just like water cooling for a computer case.

Valerie's original idea was to recreate the god-level prosthesis of the past, the one that had a cooling time of only three seconds after adding a heat dissipation plug-in. However, when designing the modification of the prosthesis, Valerie always had new ideas that suddenly popped up.

Just like this mecha, it is itself a huge prosthesis and also the most powerful all-round plug-in.

Valerie unfastened a wrench beside her, and the entire interior of the machine suddenly heated up.

It wasn't just the body that was heating up. Valerie herself could feel her temples pounding as if she had pulled an all-nighter, and the blood in her body was racing.

This is the third type of nervous system prosthesis in the game besides time stop and hacker, known as Berserk.

Compared to the first two types that had physical references, this type of prosthesis was almost entirely developed by Valerie on her own.

But this was not enough. Valerie kept her thinking at a high speed. She took a deep breath, and the world slowed down further.

Sian Westin was operating at an unprecedented intensity, and Valerie felt her bones burning.

If it weren't for the pain editor, coupled with her previous rampage, Valerie would have been in so much pain that she could hardly move.

She opened her eyes to check the situation outside. The woman in red was coming towards her, but this new god who was once so fast that she could hardly look at her was now so slow that it seemed as if she was not moving at all.

BT raised its foot and stomped it hard on the floor. The ground trembled with its movement. Valerie controlled the mecha and swung her hand, and the blonde woman who was still in a stalemate with her was suddenly pulled up.

Valerie still had the leisure to observe the expression on the woman's face. She watched the woman slowly lose color.

Even at this level of acceleration, this woman was still able to react to what was happening to her. It seemed that she was incredibly strong.

But the only thing that could keep up was the brain. The blonde woman was swung up by Valerie like a meteor hammer and hit the woman in red armor.

In a world of extreme slowdown, even the performance of being hit is slowed down. The woman in red armor flew backwards at a high speed in Valerie's eyes, but her expression did not change.

Valerie temporarily shut down Sianwestin, and the world's flow speed returned to normal. The blonde woman and the woman in red armor crashed into the wall on the other side of the room, and their clothes were torn by the impact.

"Hey, you never told me you were so powerful." Green Lantern said in surprise when he saw Valerie knock the two men away in an instant.

Valerie felt her blood boiling. One side of her brain was working at high speed, while the other side was so violent that she didn't want to think. The two emotions intertwined in her heart, making her feel a little torn.

"This is Krypton's life." Valerie took a deep breath to calm her racing blood.

Although the mecha is designed based on cyberpunk cyborgs, its materials and most important technological prototypes come from the technology tree learned from Krypton.

While traveling in Metropolis a few months ago, Valerie extorted a lot of Kryptonian technology from Joe and Superman, and later directly took over the entire Kryptonian spaceship.

As Valerie showed off to Green Lantern and Wonder Woman, this mecha is the technological masterpiece of a lost civilization.

A normal person cannot withstand this kind of extremely enhanced prosthesis. In the next moment after the connection, they will be turned into a madman or even a "water balloon" by the raging energy. But Valerie now feels just like she did a set of aerobics in her previous life.

There was one thing that puzzled Valerie, which was that her technical ability was as high as level 20, which was already at the level of a conceptual god, but her physical body, which was also as high as level 20, was not so amazing.

He was able to fight Titan a while ago, but when facing Steppenwolf, he could only be beaten away.

It seems that the panel that has been upgraded to the extreme is really just a number, with no changes compared to before the maximum level.

But now, Valerie seems to have finally grasped the truth hidden beneath the surface words.

Physical ability really refers to the physical body, which is the limit of the strength that Valerie can withstand.

Valerie remembered watching a video in her previous life, in which a marketing account sorted out the framework of Marvel movies. It said that after using the Infinity Gauntlet, Iron Man could not withstand the backlash of that power and finally died gloriously.

She sat up straight and raised her white little hand towards the mirror-like display in front of her.

If I could get my hands on the Infinity Gauntlet, maybe I could handle it.

Valerie seemed to have thought a lot, and even her thoughts had spread to other universes, but with high-speed thinking, it was only a matter of a moment.

However, Darkseid's elite troops were no pushovers. While Valerie was sorting out her current situation, the two people who had been smashed against the wall by her had already climbed down.

"The situation has changed. The opponent is stronger than we imagined. We have to retreat first to rescue Lashina." The blonde captain thought very quickly and she gave instructions quickly.

"If we don't take that woman back, the kind grandma won't be happy and she will torture us." The woman in red armor didn't intend to run away like this.

“Re-stomp! Think about it, if some of us die here and we still fail to bring people back, we will only be tortured more miserably.” The blond captain advised, “The kind grandmother will beg the master to revive us, and then torture us in every way.”

The captain's clear logic convinced Chongta, and she nodded silently.

The loud conspiracy, which was not concealed at all, was heard by Valerie and Green Lantern. Green Lantern sneered at first: "At this point, do you think you can escape? We will not let Darkseid's elite return intact."

As he spoke, he raised his fist provocatively, and the green light ring on it flashed a dazzling green light.

Valerie controlled the mecha to get into a ready posture. The violent prosthesis gave her a headache whenever she thought about it, but in order to maintain her high-speed thinking, she had to speed up her brain's calculations, causing her to only want to end the battle quickly.

There was a sudden roar from Chongshou, and her foot slammed down on the ground, causing large pieces of debris to rise from the floor.

She picked up a stone that she liked from the ground, and then smashed it hard at the server not far away. The stone was directly embedded in the chassis, and blue electric current burst out.

With this, both Valerie and Green Lantern clearly felt the entire spaceship tremble, as if it had been suddenly given an injection.

"Big Bada, I found the right one!" Chongta said excitedly.

The blond captain's expression was tense: "This spaceship from tens of thousands of years ago is still usable, but it still needs to be triggered manually?"

As she finished her words, the walls, which seemed to be deliberately imitating tissue, began to make unpleasant foaming sounds, and sticky green liquid oozed out of the walls.

Valerie immediately opened the turret on her shoulder armor, and the projectile collided with the wall that was oozing liquid, blasting out a large amount of mucus, but failing to open a hole.

"From the moment I triggered the cocoon mode mechanism, it has been impossible to destroy this spaceship from the inside. This is the use of the power of the star core." Chongta said, taking a half step back and looking up at the only exit here, the ceiling above his head.

At this time, just like a wound that is healing with a scab, the hole on the top of the head is healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Valerie felt that this guy's words were a little strange: "If it can't be opened from the inside, does it have to be opened from the outside?"

"This is the cocooning mode. How can the larvae leave as the placenta and nutrients before turning into adults?" Big Bada seemed to be in a bad mood.

There was more and more liquid on the wall, and the foul smell made Green Lantern frown subconsciously. Lashina, who was pressed to the ground by him with the green light energy body, recognized what it was and she showed a horrified expression.
