Chapter 778: War (9)
"Hehehehe... Diana, quite the person you have brought to interrogate me." Batman who Laughs still didn't seem to care that he was in a dire situation and he might die anytime. Diana was disgusted by this and went on and punched him on the face.
"Hahahahaha...." John continued laughing and smiled seeing the erratic reaction of Batman who Laughs.
"You seem to find it funny. Then tell me if it's funny that Robin King is missing?" John said and then for the first time there was a twitch in the face of Batman who Laughs. He seemed to be surprised that this new person knew that Robin King was missing. Why would he know? Was he the person who kidnapped Robin King? But Robin King was just another of his pawns why would this new person kidnap him?
"Does he really not know?" Bruce came forward and asked John seeing the little confusion in his face.
"How do I know? Charles, can you look into his mind?" John asked Charles who was wearing his X-helmet.
"You want me to look into the mind of this demented being? Why don't you do it?"
"Well I don't want to sully my brain with dark scenes." John said.
"Sigh!! All bad things are being pushed towards my side."
Charles then proceeded to look into the mind of Batman who Laughs. He shuddered in his place for a second before coming back to normal. Charles saw some horrific scenes from his Dark Multiverse and he almost hated seeing all this but they needed the information.
"He doesn't seem to have any connection with that guy. Right now he is hoping that we kill him so that he can transform himself to the ultimate form." Charles said but he was confused himself.
"How is this possible? Robin King seems to know who that person is and he doesn't? Did he come and kidnap that guy just to taunt us? By the way did you look into the mind of Robin King?" Tony asked.
"I did. But there seems to be some kind of magical barrier that is forcing me to stop." Charles said as all the other two versions tried reading his mind but of no avail. Even Jean tried but still they couldn't break the barrier.
There was something weird going on with Robin King and for this reason he was handed over to Mayuri and Orochimaru. This was the best they could do to bring out the answers they needed to as those two were professionals.
"So this guy knows nothing? Are there any small barriers?" Superman floated near Batman who Laughs and asked Charles.
"There is nothing." Charles said again.
"So he is a useless guy who just wants to transform himself from a servant to a ruler. Not gonna lie, I feel a little pity. Born in the wrong universe, got assaulted by gas and now just a serial killer with brainless ambition." Flash said. Meanwhile, Wally West was hyperventilating in his own mind.
Another Flash? Another Diana? Another Bruce? Oh god.. This was making his brain dizzy. And who were all these weird people who had arrived? He had travelled in the multiverse so many times and he had never seen such people before. But the only silver lining was that he could feel the speed force from two people here. One that looked like Barry Allen and another who had white hair.
All he needed would be their help to make him get access to the Speed Force!!
Batman who Laughs still had his smile due to his face structure but if anyone looked closely one could tell that this person wasn't happy at all. These people talked about him like he was trash. That's how Barbatos used to talk to him. That's how Perpetua talks with him. He hated that fact. He wanted to make the world in his own image. A perfect world where everyone lived at Present.
He didn't have any huge ambitions like Perpetua and just wanted to live on his own terms and these unknown guys were coming and pitying him. This was unforgivable. He wanted to bring his army and have a fight but the Chains of Heaven didn't allow him to move even a finger. There was no way he could alert anyone.
"What should we do for him?" John asked.
"Dispose him since he is a useless guy. If he gets his hand on the dead body of Dr. Manhattan, it would be troublesome. Until the Hand arrives we need to be as shiny and mankind loving as possible so that those people don't judge us."
"I thought it would be quite a fight. What a disappointment." Goku said as he was looking forward to fighting the Darkest Night but here it seemed he thought too much. Even John thought too much at this point. Dr. Strange Fate seemed like he didn't want to meet anyone who was too cunning.
