Main Universe Wonder Woman was firmly convinced that it was definitely this Evil Superman who had controlled Injustice Wonder Woman. Normally, she would have struck back fiercely, but there was too much going on now. The tasks that Batman had assigned were numerous and heavy; failure could put the Multiverse in danger. She had to focus on them.
Besides, Wonder Women are not as tolerant as Batman, who can endure having a controlled imposter beside him and still hold a meeting with an unchanged expression. So, Main Universe Wonder Woman's intention was to send Injustice Wonder Woman back the way she came. If you want to play brain control, don't do it around me; I'll deal with you later when I'm done.
Main Universe Wonder Woman, bringing along the controlled Injustice Wonder Woman, traveled to Earth 3 where Injustice Superman was, dropped her off, and hurriedly returned to attend to other matters.
At first, Lord Superman didn't quite understand why Injustice Superman appeared so hopeless, but within half an hour, Injustice Superman stopped him, preventing him from silencing Wonder Woman.
"Lao above, how could there be such a crazy woman?!" Lord Superman almost cursed, "What does my relationship with Batman have to do with her?! Does she think she is…"
Before he finished speaking, two beams of laser shot over. Lord Superman turned, discovering a group of Supermen not far away. He quickly flew backward, shouting to Injustice Superman: "They're coming for you!"
Unexpectedly, Injustice Superman had already flown several hundred meters away. Lord Superman hurried to catch up and shouted, "Why are you running so fast?!"
"Should I stay here to get beaten up? Can you handle them?!"
Lord Superman hesitated for a moment. Although he didn't want to lose ground, he had to admit that the two of them wouldn't be able to defeat those four or five Supermen chasing after them. Although it seemed there wasn't a Main Universe Superman, none of them were easy to deal with. The leader had a record of pushing Apocalypse Star—the kind of reckless achievement, only a madman would fight them.
Initially, the two had flown away, but then Injustice Superman glanced back and saw that Wonder Woman was still standing there dazed, and those Supermen landed in front of her, probably thinking that Injustice Superman had taken Wonder Woman hostage.
Injustice Superman hurriedly flew back. If Injustice Wonder Woman fell into the hands of these Supermen, they could offend them thoroughly in two or three minutes, and a beating would be the lesser punishment; if she were truly captured by them, his already fallen reputation would decline further.
Injustice Superman flew back, and upon landing, saw that the lead Superman was significantly younger, and finally felt a dead calm.
In the Battleworld, there are no weak young Supermen. If they wear a uniform and come to the Battleworld at such an age, they're likely stat monsters. Not to mention there are four or five of them, even one alone he can't defeat.
But he must take Wonder Woman away; otherwise, even if he rescued Ultron and pinned the blame on him, his reputation couldn't be salvaged.
"You kidnapped Wonder Woman, didn't you?" The young Superman asked as he looked at him, "You want to control her just like Batman. You scum, I absolutely won't allow you to do this!"
After saying this, he flew towards Injustice Superman. Injustice Superman grabbed Injustice Wonder Woman and flew into the air with her—this action further solidified his identity as a kidnapper. The Supermen behind him also flew up, rushing towards him.
Back at the Battleworld base, Main Universe Wonder Woman was growing increasingly furious, slamming the documents onto the table and angrily saying, "What's there to see? Stop looking! That bastard Superman has harmed so many people, and he still wants to get away with it? Dream on!"
"Sisters, we must go to the universe where the Injustice League resides, at the very least to destroy that Brainwave Controller. Otherwise, he will certainly control more people!"
The other Wonder Women beside her nodded their heads, clearly they couldn't stand it any longer either. Although the situation of the Multiverse is important, if Injustice Superman is allowed to rampage like this, who knows how many people would fall victim to him. Anyway, Batman is also over there with Ultron; a few of them missing don't matter much, better to take down Injustice Superman first.
Thus, Main Universe Wonder Woman led the skilled warriors among the Wonder Women, heading towards the universe where the Injustice League is located, determined not to rest until the Brainwave Controller was destroyed.
Meanwhile, the Main Universe Batman, processing information, noticed that there was no movement from Wonder Woman and Superman's side; he didn't know if the task was accomplished, but no messages were being sent at all. This was unlike them.
In the past, when the Justice League took action, they would frequently consult Batman's opinion; now that with the Doujie System, communication could occur even across the cosmos at any time, they would inquire about everything in detail, if anything happened, they would ask Batman.
But it's been more than two hours without any new messages. Main Universe Batman didn't know what was wrong, and could only actively send a message to inquire. But what's more bizarre is that Superman and Wonder Woman didn't even respond to his message.
This is simply a huge mystery. When it comes to Wonder Woman, sometimes she might miss a message, but Superman? Definitely not. Main Universe Batman was very sure that he was Superman's "special attention," and responses were never later than three seconds. Has the sky fallen?
And Main Universe Superman, who wasn't returning messages, was currently in the Battleworld's base, strongly criticizing Injustice Superman alongside his counterpart. To defeat this evil Superman, the Supermen had even exerted subjective initiative, forming a team, planning shifts, tirelessly chasing Injustice Superman 24/7. Main Universe Superman was their leader.
While Main Universe Batman was messaging him, he was passionately condemning Injustice Superman in the meeting room. The Supermen below were equally heated, each one of them furious with steam coming off the tops of their heads, none available to check messages.
Main Universe Batman was baffled: Is the work he assigned really that difficult? One by one, they can't even reply to messages?
Let alone Wonder Woman and Superman, there's unrest within Batman's team as well. Mechanical Batman and Lightning Batman were orbiting around Injustice Batman. He folded his arms and said, "Is that Brainiac really so powerful that he can create a brainwave controller whose signal I can't even detect? Could he have actually designed a foolproof system that even Superman can operate easily?"
The Flash folded his arms and sighed, "The world is large, and there are all sorts of wonders. If Ultron can travel across the cosmos shopping for clothes, Brainiac is no less capable. None of these electronic beings ever do anything proper."
Batwoman looked up from the instruments and said, "The test results aren't very encouraging. Indeed, we haven't noticed any abnormal brainwaves. I'm afraid the Superman from the Injustice League used some powerful means, and now we're in trouble."
"Could it be a curse or something?" God of War Batman said from the side, "It doesn't look like a technological product to me; I think it's more likely magic. Otherwise, why control him so late instead of earlier, waiting until Batman returned from the Magic Academy to do it? Maybe he stole the magic energy Batman acquired and then turned it into a curse against him."
"That's certainly possible."
"I feel the same way."
"That makes sense."
The other Batmen echoed in agreement. At this time, Primary Universe Batman walked through the crowd and said, "What are you all doing? Didn't I say to investigate the Doujie System and find Ultron's true form?"
"We were just looking at his condition," Batwoman explained, "We can't just leave him like this, can we? What if prolonged control turns him into a fool?"
"That's right, if the control lasts too long, there could be long-term side effects," Mechanical Batman sighed deeply, full of concern, "That Evil Superman somehow obtained technology that controls so seamlessly that we can find nothing."
Primary Universe Batman glanced at Injustice Batman. He couldn't say no to rescuing him, in fact, he really wanted to save him, but the problem was he couldn't discern anything unusual.
He had even ventured into the Injustice League's universe but could not figure out how the Injustice Superman managed to control Injustice Batman. The container was just a vessel, and it wasn't even powered; destroying it served no purpose. Additionally, he detected no electronic signal fluctuations. How could he save him?
Primary Universe Batman was confident that if he couldn't figure it out, neither could the other Batmen. Discussing how to save Injustice Batman now would be a waste of time.
This reasoning was sound, yet he couldn't voice it. They portrayed themselves as part of the Justice Camp, so naturally, they should save when salvation was possible. If they stood by and watched, how were they any different from Night Owl?
This was the ethical dilemma most Batmen faced: as long as you claim to be a righteous hero, even if someone choked on their own sneeze, if you didn't arrive in time to stop the sneeze, it was seen as your fault; if there were people you failed to save in the world, the blame falls entirely on you. This is "heroism is the epitaph of the noble."
If Primary Universe Batman were to declare abandonment, his prestige would collapse instantly, and all the Batmen who united under him would scatter. This was the worst-case scenario.
So, Primary Universe Batman could only say, "Let's do this: leave behind some who are more skilled in research to monitor him and figure out what's going on; those more adept in combat should continue working to safeguard the Multiverse's safety."
Quite a few Batmen chose to stay. Primary Universe Batman did not insist. Fortunately, Arkham Batman remained his unwavering supporter, but he was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of work. Primary Universe Batman was also busy beyond measure.
One could say everything stemmed from the lousy idea Injustice Batman concocted for fake brain control and the Justice League in the Bruce Universe fanning the flames by releasing Injustice Wonder Woman.
Furthermore, the latter was actually the main reason. If not for the burden of Wonder Woman, Injustice Superman could have fled; if the Supermen pursued him too long without catching him, they might give up; and the Wonder Women wouldn't target the Injustice League, at least offering Batman a helping hand.
But due to the mess stirred up by the Justice League in the Bruce Universe, the Trinity were all engaged in their own affairs, and visibly, this would be the norm for some time ahead—even if a war with the Marvel World broke out, few would likely return. Bruce had perfectly achieved the goal of weakening the DC Universe's power.
Of course, he wouldn't spare Marvel either. After finishing the last piece of bread, Bruce wiped his mouth and said, "We can't let this universe's Iron Man bring in too many reinforcements. If he really unites the Multiverse, we'll be in trouble."
"Then what should we do? Cause some trouble on his side too? But I heard there are many powerful mutants there. If things go south, it would be disastrous," Clark said.
"Don't worry, their Multiverse doesn't only have Justice Iron Man; there must be some evil ones too. Let's find a way to find out, collaborate with them, and rally an evil Superhero team to create trouble, won't that work?"
Clark stood up and said, "What are we waiting for? Let's go."
Diana couldn't help but comment, "With you around, you're the bat aura of the Multiverse."
