Chapter 2396: Bats Fight (VI)
"Uh, Batman?" Gwen Spider-Man called out tentatively, but she soon discovered that the figure looked different from the photo of Batman shared on the Spider APP forum.
The other party didn't speak, and the moment he took a step forward, Gwen Spider-Man could only see a blurry red light passing in front of her, and then the strange red Batman appeared behind the time manipulator.
A blue light flashed in the time manipulator's eyes, and the red figure retreated to the center. A golden light suddenly appeared on his body, and then he moved forward again.
The two colors, blue and gold, collided in the air, and Gwen Spider-Man finally saw the time manipulator on the opposite side with a hint of surprise.
With a whoosh, he appeared on a tall building in the distance, and then appeared behind Gwen, staring at the red Batman standing there, and said in a low voice: "Who are you?"
"That's not important, tell me what time is."
"You are going faster than time." The Time Manipulator said, "You can't do this if you don't know what time is."
"Answer me! What is time!!!"
Gwen Spider-Man stood between the two men, a little confused. She didn't know whether she should leave now, nor did she know whether the two would let her go. Just as she was hesitating, she saw a flash of reflection in the alley in the distance.
Then Miles stuck his head out and waved to her. Gwen Spider-Man hesitated for a moment, shot out another spider silk, and jumped into the alley. No one tried to stop her.
As soon as Gwen Spider-Man landed, two Spider-Men jumped out from behind her, one was Shadow Spider-Man holding a gun, and the other was Scarlet Spider-Man.
"Why are you all here?"
As a result, another figure walked out from behind. Gwen Spider-Man turned around and it was Gwen. Gwen immediately made a hushing gesture, making Gwen Spider-Man swallow his surprise.
"They said there's a super machine here and they need me to study it." Gwen said, "Just send me over there."
Gwen Spider-Man immediately realized what Gwen was talking about, which was also the result of the Spider-Man team's investigation in the past few days.
Charles and other mutants are investigating the Spiritual School, the New Warriors team is investigating the Fire Gang, and Spider-Man is very interested in the mysterious X-League.
They have been circling around this alliance these days. Although they have not been able to get deeper, they have found an important clue.
Although the people in this alliance don't seem to have any main goal and no one knows who their boss is, they seem to be collecting raw materials everywhere recently in order to build a machine.
No one knows what this machine is exactly and what it is used for, but Spider-Men are always interested in it. Unfortunately, Spider-Men who fail the test are not allowed to enter the spirit world, and most Spider-Men cannot pass the test.
Nick has very high standards for this mission. First of all, the person must be mentally mature, which eliminates most Spider-Men who have not finished college.
You can't have too good a personality. This is not an occasion for jokes. You need to be decisive and firm. The subtext is that no one who doesn't want to kill will be allowed in. After all, this is a life-and-death situation. If you lose your compassion and can't kill at the critical moment, you will be the one to die.
The most important thing is that there are too many psychics in this spiritual world, so team members cannot have too rich emotions, which stops 99% of Spider-Men.
However, a few tall ones can be picked out from the short ones. Gwen Spider-Man herself is a rather depressed person, and her various abilities are pretty good, barely qualified. Shadow Spider-Man and Scarlet Spider-Man are relatively suitable. Miles is here to do logistics. After all, there are not many Spider-Mans who are willing to do logistics.
They were planning to go straight to the enemy, but a time manipulator showed up along the way. Gwen Spider-Man wanted to lure him away, but not only that, she spent a lot of time doing fancy operations but didn't move half a meter from her original position.
The ability of the time manipulator has basically been explored, but there is absolutely no weakness to be found. His ability has no cooldown time, which means he can manipulate time unconditionally and directly let the opponent rewind.
However, there is one thing that is, after he resets the opponent's time, his memory will not be reset. The Spider-Men think this may be one of the breakthroughs, but they have not had time to study it carefully.
The Spider-Men hid in the alley nearby, peeked out, and soon began a discussion.
"Who is that guy who looks like Batman?" Miles asked first, "Could he be the Batman from some other universe? The Batman in each of their universes has a different color?"
"No, Peter said most of them are pitch black. This one is brighter. I think it might be a variant of Batman." Gwen speculated, touching her chin.
"He can also control time." Shadow Spider-Man's voice was very low. He said: "The time manipulator said that this Batman has transcended time, but it seems that this Batman thinks that the time manipulator is stronger and seems to want to get something from him."
"What did you get?" Gwen Spider-Man asked over her shoulder.
"Didn't you hear that? He seemed to be asking what time it was or something like that."
"He wants to know what time is, but there shouldn't be a standard answer." Miles said with some doubt: "In everyone's eyes, time means something different. For example, in my opinion, time is an illusory thing, and only things that happen in time are meaningful."
"I think time is a tragedy." Gwen Spider-Man said, "If something can never stop, it is destined to be a tragedy."
Neither Shadow Spider-Man nor Scarlet Spider expressed their opinions on this topic, they were obviously more concerned about the current situation.
Now the two people on the street were fighting evenly. There was a golden light flashing under the red Batman's feet. Every time he disappeared and reappeared, the golden light became thicker and thicker, almost covering his entire body.
A tangible blue light began to appear around the time manipulator. His black hair began to float and his eyes were filled with blue light like lightning.
Each of their confrontations was very brief, and it could even be said that to ordinary people there was no confrontation at all. They disappeared and reappeared in an instant each time, but from the blue and gold images left in the space, it could be seen that they fought for eternity in that instant.
"That Batman's ability seems to be movement." Shadow Spider-Man said: "He moves so fast that he can generate a kind of energy, and then he can use this energy to move faster."
"Is he really moving? Why do I feel like he can travel through some kind of alternate dimension?" Spider-Man Gwen said in surprise, "He always appears and disappears."
"Because he is too fast, he has already surpassed time." Shadow Spider-Man said: "When he is moving, time does not flow, so the time manipulator's manipulation of time is meaningless. He cannot reset time back at a node where time does not flow."
"But this energy will eventually run out, right?"
"It seems that he is not a user of this energy, but a producer." Shadow Spider-Man said: "If he is only a user, he is not from this universe, and the energy he brings is limited after all, so it is impossible to waste it like this."
"Unless he himself is the source of power, and every movement of his can produce this power, he can use it unscrupulously." Shadow Spider-Man judged.
"So what do we do now? Who do we help?"
"Wait and see." Shadow Spider-Man thought for a moment and said, "I think Batman is no match for the Time Manipulator at the moment. He doesn't seem to be very skilled in using this energy. After they decide the winner, maybe we can go talk to the Time Manipulator."
Just as Spider-Man Noir expected, the time manipulator really couldn't reset Flash Batman's time, but that was only when Flash Batman was running. Once he stopped, it would still be reset.
So the Flash Batman has to keep running, but the problem is that he is Batman, not the Flash. Batman never used the speed force in the first half of his life, and he only took over the mantle of the Flash for a short time.
He could either run in the Speed Force or leave the Speed Force to attack the time manipulator. He didn't know how to run in the Speed Force and attack the time manipulator at the same time.
The two moves he used in the past, speed force collision and directly grabbing people into the speed force, were not very effective. The time manipulator could directly dodge the former, and when the Flash Batman reached out to grab the latter, his hand seemed to be reaching into a cold void, with nothing there.
Flash Batman felt that he touched time at that moment. He thought that the time manipulator was most likely time itself, or at least part of time, so he was more anxious to get answers from the time manipulator.
But unfortunately, he did not find the breakthrough of the time manipulator. His anxious mentality made him lose the qualities that Batman should have. As a result, the moment he came out of the speed force, countless blue time streams burst out. With a swish, Flash Batman found himself back to the place where he had just come out of the portal.
Flash Batman left and the Spider-Men came out. In fact, Gwen Spider-Man was not very confident, but Shadow Spider-Man was very stable.
"Hello, I'm Spider-Man." Shadow Spider-Man introduced himself to the Time Manipulator and said, "I know that my friends have been hanging around your base recently, which makes you feel threatened, but we just want to know what's going on."
"I don't know if you understand what's happening in the real world, but it's clear that we can't go on like this, whether in the spiritual world or the real world. Otherwise, the disaster will destroy us all."
The time manipulator's expressionless face suddenly showed a slight change. He said, "War is wrong and must be stopped."
"I couldn't agree more." Shadow Spider-Man said from the bottom of his heart: "I come from a different era from them. Unfortunately, World War II just broke out in my hometown."
The Spider-Men heard a very distinct gasp, but it wasn't made by any of them.
The Spider-Men watched as the expression on the Time Manipulator's face, which had been expressionless, cracked.
Although their time was reset instantly and the time manipulator returned to his expressionless state, Spider-Man immediately realized that something was wrong with the other party's attitude towards the war.
War is indeed a terrible thing, but if you don't experience it yourself, you will never understand how terrible it is.
The other party has experienced war? Shadow Spider-Man thought, but this is impossible. The owner of this spiritual world is very young. During his lifetime, the world has never experienced a large-scale war. He has no reason to go to the front line, so it doesn't make sense for him to react like this.
"Peace is what everyone wants." The Time Manipulator said, "Our only goal is to prevent the outbreak of war. If you want to do the same, come find me at the National Library."
Shadow Spider-Man stared at his back, but what he saw was not a vigorous young man, but more like a wandering veteran he saw when he participated in street speeches with his parents.
The same isotope IP, Spider Legion is much more attentive than the Dark Knights, alas
