Chapter 3917 The Nameless Bat (Eighty-Seven)
“There’s a very simple logic to this,” Batwoman continued, “It must be that it can’t get a certain red-haired woman, so it chooses to cast a wide net and catch as many fish as possible, looking for a substitute in the multiverse.”
Many Batmen were momentarily stunned. They were wondering how Batwoman had come to the conclusion that it was "unattainable."
Then they realized that it was indeed very possible. Electronic life forms are often quite rigid; they basically lack the ability to come up with sudden ideas, and they have no aesthetic sense. Besides, red hair isn't exactly a popular aesthetic; it's impossible that they suddenly thought, "I should date a red-haired woman," this red-haired woman must have a real-life counterpart.
Since there's a prototype, why not choose that one?
When electronic life forms achieve a goal, they will always choose the fastest and most efficient route. If they could obtain the prototype, they wouldn't choose anyone else, much less search the entire universe for a red-haired woman. It's only because they couldn't obtain the prototype that they had to seek a substitute.
So why couldn't it obtain this prototype? That's something worth pondering. Batman even believes it might be a key clue.
“If the red-haired woman is its creator, then it’s practically impossible for her to die,” Batwoman said. “This cyber life form is powerful enough to cause trouble in all the multiverses, and even split into different threads to face different Batmen without being at a disadvantage. I don’t believe it can’t protect its creator.”
"Perhaps its creator didn't like it? Or refused to let it protect him?"
"Then it wouldn't like its creator, and wouldn't choose her as the object of its emotional awakening," Batwoman said.
Everyone looked at the mechanical Batman. After thinking for a moment, the mechanical Batman said, "Perhaps. If the creator doesn't play a significant role in its life, it probably won't choose her as its selection criterion. If the creator even wants to destroy it, then the creator will become part of the contradiction and be replaced by it. It will then be even less likely to seek out someone related to the contradiction."
“Since it didn’t die, there’s only one possibility left: that the other party doesn’t want to be with it, and it can’t force it,” Batwoman said. “Considering that electronic life forms have no morality and haven’t yet awakened emotions, the inability to force it isn’t because it had a change of heart, but because it couldn’t do it.”
The Lego Batman was a bit confused. He said, "So how does this prove that the red-haired woman wasn't its creator?"
“Because someone who can’t even force it doesn’t need to create it,” Batwoman said.
The other Batmen quickly grasped the concept. The logic is actually quite simple: it's highly unlikely that someone would create electronic life purely out of hobby, because, as mentioned before, it's not just about having the technology; it also requires luck, coincidence, and a tremendous amount of effort to wait for a miracle.
The creation of electronic life must require it to do something, or rather, there must be something that only it can do. For example, the robotic Batman initially created this artificial intelligence to resurrect Alfred and continue to help him; Stark created Jarvis because he needed an electronic butler; Ant-Man invented Ultron to aid his research. Most others are similar.
It's easy to see that whether it's Batman, Iron Man, or Ant-Man, while they all possess exceptional abilities in certain areas, their limited human bodies restrict their energy, preventing them from excelling in multiple areas simultaneously. This is why they create artificial intelligence to assist them. Asgard's technology is also advanced, and with its constant warfare requiring the mobilization and coordination of its army, there's no record of Odin creating artificial intelligence to help him.
So, to get back to the point, this electronic life form can now fight across dozens of universes, operating as dozens of separate threads, each capable of holding its own against Batman. For such a being to overpower a human, wouldn't that be a piece of cake?
But it just couldn't win over its ideal woman, and could only search the entire universe for a substitute. Doesn't that just prove that the person it couldn't win over was extremely powerful, powerful in every way and from every angle?
Batman is already a well-rounded fighter; he can single-handedly take on so many other Batmen, yet he couldn't handle one "white moonlight" (a term of endearment for a woman who is unattainable). Doesn't this mean that this red-haired woman is stronger than Batman?
Why would someone so powerful need to create electronic life forms? The electronic life forms she created couldn't even handle her, so naturally they couldn't help her. They couldn't have been created just for show, could they?
Of course, some might think it's just a hobby. Leaving aside the fact that, aside from a few notorious cosmic troublemakers, who else would have such a peculiar interest and unwavering perseverance? If it were truly just a hobby, why would she reject the advances of electronic life forms?
If they can spend so much effort and time to create it, then their interest is extraordinary. Isn't this electronic life form's confession perfect? If these two were a good match, there wouldn't be so much trouble.
Having completed the chain of reasoning, the main universe's Batman immediately realized what the key clue was. He said, "A very strong redhead woman."
"Yes, and it has almost no weaknesses."
"To leave such powerful electronic life forms helpless."
"And its strength must be higher than those it has found so far."
As soon as Batman the Great Adventure said this, all the other Batmen looked at him. Batman the Great Adventure continued, "The fact that it couldn't find a satisfactory one after picking and choosing proves that it thinks none of these people are as good as the one it wants."
The other Batmen nodded in agreement, finding it reasonable. In fact, by this point, the scope had been narrowed considerably. The mechanical Batman still spoke up, saying, "If it wasn't the creator, then why would it hold special significance for it?"
Everyone looked at him. The robotic Batman said, "You don't think it's because this red-haired woman is strong, do you?"
"Why not?"
"Of course not! If it just wanted to find a strong one, there are plenty in the universe. Not to mention, aren't all the angels in Heaven omniscient and omnipotent? And those conceptual gods in the universe, even God—I mean, even this Batman." The cyborg Batman pointed at the main universe Batman and said, "Those two have already fought, so why didn't the electronic life form fall in love with him?"
"Uh……"
The Batmen were somewhat speechless. They all knew that the main universe's Batman was the most unique among them, and currently, arguably the strongest. While he might not be as good as some other Batmen in certain aspects, he was well-rounded, essentially scoring 95 points in every subject. If we're talking about strength, even God would have to call him God.
Besides, among all these Batmen, there are bound to be some who get a perfect score of 100 in a particular subject. If cybernetic life forms are truly drawn to strength, then they should indeed fall in love with Batman. And if all else fails, there are so many Supermen! Is Silver Superman too old, or is Gold Superman too weak to wield his sword?
“That makes sense,” Arkham Batman nodded. “It’s certainly unlikely to be because of fighting ability. So what is it then?”
“I have an idea,” Batman suddenly said, “could it be because there are already successful examples?”
"what do you mean……"
"This red-haired woman once inspired a cybernetic life form, giving it genuine emotions. And now, this cybernetic life form that has invaded our multiverse, seeing this situation, thinks that finding a red-haired woman would be just as good."
“This is utterly absurd,” Batwoman commented. “One person might inspire another’s emotions because of her beautiful soul, or because of her beautiful appearance, but it certainly can’t be because she’s red-haired, can it? Is this cybernetic life form so bad at grasping the essentials?”
“我看未必，”毁灭日蝙蝠侠摇摇头说，“关键不在于这个红发女人，而在于被这个红发女人所启发了的电子生命。你们觉得有没有一种可能，入侵咱们多元宇宙的电子生命，被这个已经有了感情的电子生命痛揍一顿，从此以后就有了心理阴影，非得对标着他找一个爱人？”
“That’s ridiculous,” said Arkham Batman.
“However, it is certainly possible,” the mechanical Batman said. Everyone looked at him, and he continued, “Let me put it another way: This guy once encountered an opponent much stronger than himself, and after a battle, he was utterly defeated. Then, he meticulously compared the conditions of the two of them and found that he was superior to him in every way. The only variable was the red-haired woman. That’s why he’s been exploring, trying to find out what this red-haired woman did to her opponent to make him so strong.”
“That sounds much more plausible. But there’s still one problem,” Batwoman pointed out. “If we assume this red-haired woman is the prototype, then if it can’t handle the prototype in one universe, won’t it try to handle the prototype in another universe? Don’t parallel universes have counterparts?”
“That proves that it can’t handle its counterparts in every parallel universe,” said the main universe Batman. “Now we have another clue: this red-haired woman is powerful in every multiverse.”
"You mean it tried?" Batwoman thought for a moment and said, "If it really did try, as you say, but failed and couldn't handle any of them, I'm assuming this red-haired lady has the average capacity of an ordinary person, and she's so powerful, why is there no movement in the universe right now?"
The other Batmen thought about it and agreed. If this electronic life form had experimented on the counterparts of the red-haired woman in every universe, meaning it had harassed this person in every universe, and if this red-haired woman was incredibly powerful, wouldn't they all unite to hunt it down?
“This means that this red-haired woman is probably not from our universe,” said the main universe Batman. “She is very likely from another universe. This electronic life form has been hunted down over there, which is why she had to come here and try every means to improve her strength, not to dominate the universe, but just to avoid being eliminated by those red-haired women.”
Batman, the adventurer, couldn't help but gloat. He shook his head and sighed, "What an unlucky fellow."
They could already imagine the whole story. In short, there was an electronic life form that one day suddenly encountered an opponent who beat it up. After that, it went home and did some replaying of the incident, realizing that it wasn't much worse than its opponent. However, since the opponent had a good partner, it thought it could do the same, so it went to find the opponent's partner, only to be beaten up by that partner as well.
Finding that it couldn't handle things in this universe, it went to other universes to find the counterpart of this object, but that didn't work either. Every time it went, it got beaten up and angered everyone. The other side hunted it down in the multiverse. Unable to stay in those worlds, it had no choice but to come to this world.
However, it was probably also afraid that those women would come looking for it and wipe it out, so it was frantically trying to find a replacement here to upgrade its strength. To improve efficiency, it had no choice but to cast a wide net and catch as many fish as possible, splitting into multiple threads and causing trouble in every multiverse.
After this deduction, it is now obvious who this mysterious red-haired woman is.
The Batmen exchanged glances. Batman the Adventurer sighed and said, "I'll count to three, two, one, and we'll all say her name together. Three, two, one..."
Scarlet Witch Wanda!
Many people have already guessed it!
