Chapter 146
"Then let's do it!!!"
A look of determination flashed in Bruce's eyes!!!
He actively charged towards Mystra!!!
A more intense! And more dangerous Dark Hunt!!!
Unfolded once again!!!
The battle inside the Batcave entered a white-hot stage, but the situation was a one-sided crushing defeat.
Bruce Wayne, the battle-hardened Dark Knight who had survived countless life-and-death crises relying on his wisdom and equipment, now felt as if he had fallen into an inescapable nightmare!
The two women he faced were unbelievably strong!
The blonde female housekeeper, who could change in a thousand ways, moved like a ghost! The energy whip in her hand was incredibly vicious and sharp! Every swing! Carried a piercing shriek loud enough to tear the air! Forcing Bruce to rely on the Batman suit's defense and his agile movements to dodge frantically! He couldn't find any opportunity to counterattack!
What made Bruce even more frustrated was that this woman seemed to be able to read his mind?! Several times, the traps and counterattack methods he had prepared! Were anticipated by her and easily defused?! She even used his own traps against him?!
This made him feel like a mouse being played with by a cat! All his wisdom and schemes! Seemed so ridiculous in front of her!
And on the other side!
Batgirl Barbara Gordon's situation was even more tragic!
Although she was also a well-trained combat expert! And well-equipped!
In front of Gwen, the "Spider-Queen" who was like a queen of slaughter! She had no power to fight back at all!!!
Gwen's speed was too fast! So fast that Barbara's dynamic vision could barely fully capture her!
Gwen's strength was too great! Every seemingly casual claw strike! Could leave deep scratches on the hard ground! Barbara had no doubt! If she were hit head-on just once! She would definitely suffer broken bones and torn tendons!
Gwen's webs were even more unpredictable! Not only were they incredibly tough! But they also had corrosive and paralyzing effects! Barbara's Batarangs and grappling gun! Had no effect at all against these webs! Instead, she almost got entangled several times!
What made Barbara even more terrified was the terrifying aura around Gwen, filled with darkness, bloodlust, and even a hint of seduction!
That aura seemed to directly invade her mind! Making her feel fear, despair, and even... the urge to submit?!
What kind of monster was this?!
Barbara gritted her teeth! Using all her strength! Relying on her flexible movements and various high-tech gadgets! She parried with Gwen!
But she knew! She couldn't last much longer!!!
She could clearly feel! The other party wasn't even serious!!!
She was more like... playing?!
Enjoying the pleasure of cornering herself, this "little bat"!!!
"Damn it!!!" Barbara's heart was filled with unwillingness and anger!
She looked at Bruce, who was also struggling in a bitter fight not far away!
And then at Lin Tian, who had been standing in the shadows the whole time! With a playful smile! Watching coldly from the sidelines!!!
She knew!
Today, the two of them, Master and disciple! Were probably going to fall here!!!
Unless... unless a miracle happened!!!
As for Lin Tian!
He was very satisfied with this "uneven" battle before him!
Watching Gotham's Dark Knight and his female disciple! Being played like puppets by his two "Queens"! In such a sorry state!
This feeling! Was simply too... delightful!
He wanted to use this method! To completely destroy Batman's so-called "will" and "pride"!
To make him understand!
In the face of absolute power!
All struggles! Are futile!
"Alright, time's up." Lin Tian felt he had watched the show long enough; it was time to end this boring "game."
He issued an instruction to Gwen and Mystra with his mind.
Upon receiving the instruction, Gwen and Mystra! A cold glint flashed in their eyes simultaneously!
They no longer held back!!!
Gwen's speed instantly surged!!!
Appearing behind Barbara as if by teleportation!!!
Her sharp claws, covered in purple-black symbiote! Without hesitation!!!
Fiercely!!!
Struck at Barbara's nape!!!
And Mystra! Suddenly flicked the energy whip in her hand!!!
The whip's shadow, like a venomous snake! Instantly coiled around Bruce's feet!!!
Then! She pulled hard!!!
Bruce lost his balance! And fell heavily to the ground!!!
Immediately after!!!
The energy dagger in Mystra's hand! Also flashed like lightning!
Stabbing towards Bruce's heart!!!
It's over!!!
Thoughts of despair! Simultaneously surged in Bruce and Barbara's hearts!!!
Are they... really going to die here today?!
However!!!
Just as the fatal attack was about to land!!!
Lin Tian's voice! Rang out again!
"Stop."
Just one word.
But it seemed to contain some supreme power of law!!!
Gwen's sharp claws! And Mystra's dagger!
Actually stopped! Less than a millimeter from their targets!!!
Stiffly!!!
They stopped!!!
As if completely frozen by an invisible force!!!
A hint of unwillingness flashed in Gwen and Mystra's eyes! But they immediately withdrew their attacks! And respectfully retreated behind Lin Tian!
They dared not disobey their Master's command!
As for Bruce and Barbara! They were like people who had just walked through the gates of hell! Slumped on the ground! Gasping for breath! Soaked in cold sweat from head to toe!!!
They looked at Lin Tian, who slowly walked towards them! Still with a faint smile on his face!
In their eyes! Was unspeakable fear! And... a hint of relief at having escaped death?!
He... he actually... let them go?!
Why?!
"It seems you two... aren't very resilient, are you?" Lin Tianlooked at the two disheveled Master and disciple on the ground! He shook his head! His tone filled with "disappointment."
"I originally wanted to have some more fun with you."
"Never mind."
Lin Tian extended his hand.
Towards Bruce and Barbara's foreheads.
He lightly tapped!
Buzz!!!
Two extremely subtle purple-gold streams of light! Instantly submerged into their seas of consciousness!!!
Bruce and Barbara felt a sharp pain in their brains! Then their vision went black! And they completely lost consciousness!!!
Lin Tian did not kill them.
He merely... deep within their souls!
Planted two extremely hidden!
"Hehuan Marks"!!!
Of course!
These two marks! Were different from those he planted on his own women!
They would not directly control the other party's thoughts and emotions!
Instead, they were like two time bombs! Lurking in the deepest parts of their souls!
Normally, there would be no abnormalities!
But as long as Lin Tian wished!
With just a thought!
He could instantly detonate them!!!
Causing their minds to completely collapse! Or... to become his most loyal slaves!!!
This! Was Lin Tian's true objective!!!
What he wanted! Was not just to defeat Batman!
But to completely control this Dark Knight! And everything he represented! In his own hands!!!
To make him a pawn that could be manipulated at will! In his future plans!
His most important pawn!!!
"Very good." Lin Tian looked at the unconscious Masterand disciple on the ground! A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Gotham's "Master"... was also acquired.
Next,
It's time to "visit"
Those charming
"Flowers of the Night" in this city.
After leaving an unforgettable "surprise" and "mark" for Bruce Wayne and Barbara Gordon in the Batcave, Lin Tianwas not in a hurry to leave Gotham.
This city, full of darkness, chaos, yet exuding a unique charm as a city of sin, still held too many "treasures" for him to unearth.
Especially those female characters, like dark roses, beautiful, dangerous, yet full of stories.
Lin Tian's first target was the elegant, mysterious, and elusive sexy cat burglar—Catwoman, Selina Kyle.
This temptress, who walked the line between law and morality, not only possessed top-tier thieving skills and combat prowess but also had a cunning intelligence like a cat and an irresistible sexy charm.
Lin Tian was very interested in her.
Chapter 147
It wasn't just because of her beauty and figure.
[Linglong] 781066848
It was also because of her unique temperament: free-spirited, cynical, yet still retaining a trace of conscience and bottom line.
Conquering such an untamable "wildcat" would surely be very fulfilling, wouldn't it?
Moreover, Selina Kyle had an extremely extensive network of contacts and intelligence in Gotham City's underworld. If Lin Tian could subdue her, it would undoubtedly be of immense help in his future control of Gotham's underground order.
Thus, Lin Tian began his "hunting" plan targeting Catwoman.
He didn't directly confront her.
Instead, he chose a method more in line with Catwoman's "habits"—seduction.
He had Zero deliberately leak some information online about a "mysterious Eastern tycoon" who was about to exhibit a priceless and extremely well-guarded rare jewel.
This jewel was not only priceless itself but was also rumored to contain some mysterious energy?
For a top-tier thief of Selina Kyle's caliber, such a challenging and mysterious "prey" undoubtedly held a fatal attraction!
Indeed!
Just as Lin Tian expected.
A few nights later, on a dark and windy night.
A figure, lithe, agile, and silent as a black cat, easily breached the layers of security of the private museum, which was reputed to be "impregnable"! She infiltrated the core exhibition hall where the rare jewel was kept!
It was Catwoman, Selina Kyle!
She wore a tight black leather suit that perfectly accentuated her fiery and seductive figure! On her face, she wore her signature cat-eared mask, revealing only a pair of eyes as cunning and confident as emeralds!
She moved like the most elegant dancer, effortlessly navigating the exhibition hall, which was filled with infrared and pressure sensors! Her movements were so light that she made no sound!
Soon, she arrived in front of the display case, made of special bulletproof glass, where the target jewel was kept!
Looking at the jewel in the display case, which emanated an alluring glow and faintly radiated an energy fluctuation that made her feel very comfortable!
A glint of excitement and greed flashed in Selina's eyes!
She took out her specialized tools and began to carefully bypass the display case's electronic lock and defense mechanisms!
However!
Just as she was about to successfully open the display case!
Suddenly!
A male voice, with a hint of laziness and playfulness, sounded behind her without warning!
"My beautiful lady, stealing isn't a good habit, you know."
!
Selina froze all over! Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on! Her hair stood on end instantly!
She spun around abruptly! Adopting a defensive stance! Warily looking in the direction of the voice!
She saw!
In the shadows at the entrance of the exhibition hall!
An Eastern man, wearing a black silk bathrobe?! Holding a glass of red wine?! With an unbelievably handsome face!
Was leaning against the doorframe! A playful smile on his face! Watching her with great interest!
As if... he had known she would come?! And had been waiting here for a long time?!
It was him!
The mysterious Eastern tycoon who had recently been the talk of Gotham City!
And the Master of this jewel!
Lin Tian!
Selina's heart skipped a beat! Her eyes filled with shock and wariness!
She hadn't sensed this man approaching at all!
With her perception abilities and anti-reconnaissance skills! This was simply impossible!
Unless... this man's strength! Far exceeded her imagination!
"How did you find me?!" Selina asked in a low voice! Her voice contained a hint of disbelief!
"Find you?" Lin Tian chuckled softly! Shaking his head! "It should be said... I've been waiting for you... from the very beginning."
Waiting for her?!
Selina's pupils contracted sharply! A very bad premonition arose in her heart!
Could it be... this was a trap?!
"It seems our beautiful cat has fallen into the hunter's carefully laid trap." Lin Tian seemed to read her mind! Smiling! Step by step! He slowly walked towards her!
His pace was not fast! But it carried an invisible pressure! Making Selina feel a little difficulty breathing!
"What exactly do you want to do?!" Selina retreated warily! While secretly observing her surroundings! Looking for an escape route!
132 Taming the Wildcat, Mark of the Heart! Harley Quinn's "Redemption"
"Nothing." Lin Tian shrugged! A "harmless" smile appeared on his face! "It's just... I'm very interested in you, this little wildcat full of wild charm."
His gaze! Unscrupulously! Swept over Selina's fiery and seductive figure! Filled with undisguised admiration and... possessiveness!
Selina's pretty face flushed at his aggressive gaze! Her heart filled with both shame and anger!
This scoundrel!
How dare he look at her with such eyes?!
Did he really think she was easy to bully?!
"Hmph! Want to catch me? In your next life!" Selina snorted coldly! No longer hesitating! She suddenly threw several miniature smoke bombs and flashbangs at Lin Tian!
At the same time! Her body, like a leopard! Pounced like lightning towards the nearest ventilation duct!
She wanted to escape from here!
However!
How could Lin Tian let her have her way?!
Facing those smoke bombs and flashbangs, which were enough to instantly incapacitate even ordinary special forces soldiers!
Lin Tian didn't even blink!
He just... gently... blew a breath!
Whoosh—!
An invisible! Yet terrifyingly powerful airflow! Instantly dispersed all the smoke and strong light!
And just as Selina was about to pounce into the ventilation duct!
Lin Tian's figure! Like a ghost! Arrived first, though he started later!
Appearing in front of her instantly!
And!
Extended a hand!
Not to grab her!
But to... gently... pinch her cat tail, which was slightly Warpas her body swayed?! (Of course, this was an ornament on her combat suit, but... the position was very subtle)
"Ugh!!!"
Selina felt an indescribable, strange sensation! Instantly coming from that extremely sensitive spot!
Like an electric shock! Instantly spreading throughout her body!
Making her body go limp!
Falling directly from mid-air!
Just right!
Into the arms of the man who had already opened his "embrace" and was waiting for her!
"Let... let go of me! You scoundrel!!!"
Selina Kyle fell into Lin Tian's warm yet dangerous embrace, feeling both shame and anger, and struggled violently!
Like a true wildcat! She extended her sharp nails (hidden in her gloves)! Reaching for Lin Tian's eyes! At the same time, she raised her foot, clad in high-heeled leather boots! Kicking fiercely at his vital spot!
However!
Her attacks! In front of Lin Tian! Were like children's games! Naive and ridiculous!
Lin Tian merely shifted his body slightly! Easily dodging her claw attack!
At the same time! With his knee! Neither too lightly nor too heavily! He pressed it against her lower abdomen!
"Ugh!" Selina felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen! Instantly losing all her strength! Her struggling movements also stopped! She could only weakly lean in Lin Tian's arms! Gasping for breath!
Her beautiful eyes, like emeralds! Stared at Lin Tian with both shame and anger! Filled with unwillingness and a hint of... fear?!
This man... was too strong!
Whether it was strength, speed, or reaction! He completely crushed her!
In front of him! She had no room to resist at all!
"It seems... our little wildcat... is finally willing to quiet down?" Lin Tian looked down at the sexy siren in his arms, whose breathing was rapid, whose pretty face was flushed, but whose eyes were still stubborn! A wicked smile played on his lips.
He reached out a hand! Gently pinching Selina's small yet resolute chin! Forcing her to meet his gaze!
"Tell me," Lin Tian's voice was low and magnetic! Like the devil's whisper! "Why do you steal?"
"A woman as beautiful, intelligent, and agile as you..." Lin Tian's finger! Gently traced her slightly parted red lips, which were open from panting! Bringing waves of trembling numbness! "Could clearly have a better life... couldn't she?"
"Hmph! None of your business?!" Selina turned her head away! Trying to avoid his aggressive gaze and the touch that made her heart flutter! She said coldly! "I like excitement! I like freedom! I like playing those arrogant rich people in the palm of my hand! What's wrong with that?!"
"Excitement? Freedom?" Lin Tian heard this! He couldn't help but laugh! "Your so-called excitement! Is nothing more than dancing on the tip of a knife! You could be shattered at any moment!"
"Your so-called freedom! Is nothing more than being bound by the shadows of the past and the cruelty of reality! Forever living in darkness and shadows!"
"Selina Kyle..." Lin Tian's voice suddenly became incredibly gentle! Yet it carried a power that struck deep into her soul! "Are you truly... satisfied with your current life?"
"Deep in your heart... don't you yearn for... a trace of true warmth? A reliance that allows you to shed all your disguises and defenses?"
"A man... who can truly understand you! Appreciate you! And even... conquer you?"
!
Lin Tian's words! Like a clap of thunder! Struck Selina's heart fiercely!
Making her body tremble!
Her eyes filled with disbelief!
He... how could he... how could he know my deepest... most secret desires?!
All this time! She had used a cynical! Sexy and dangerous exterior! To conceal her inner loneliness and vulnerability!
She longed to be loved! Longed to be cherished! Longed to find a haven where she could truly feel safe!
But she was also afraid of getting hurt! Afraid of being betrayed! Afraid of experiencing the pain and darkness of her childhood again!
So she preferred to choose to be a solitary wildcat! Roaming the edges of darkness! Using theft and excitement to numb herself!
She thought... no one could see through her disguise! No one could understand her inner World!
Chapter 148
But the man before her!!!
This mysterious, powerful, and even somewhat evil man!!!
Actually… revealed all her inner thoughts with a single phrase?!
At this moment! Selina felt all her disguises! All her defenses! Completely collapsed before this man!!!
Her eyes! Uncontrollably reddened!!!
Tears! Like pearls on a broken string! Slipped down!!!
"Wuwu…" She could no longer suppress her inner emotions! Like a wronged child! She threw herself into Lin Tian's arms! And burst into tears!!!
Lin Tian looked at the sexy wildcat in his arms, who had finally shed all her disguises! And revealed her inner vulnerability!
A hint of satisfaction and… pity? flashed in his eyes.
Very good.
The best strategy is to attack the heart.
It seems the effect is significant.
He didn't speak, merely held her quietly, letting her vent the pain and grievances accumulated over many years.
Just as he had treated Jean and Diana before.
He knew that against women who are outwardly strong but inwardly fragile.
The most effective weapon has never been mere strength.
But… understanding, empathy, and… perfectly timed tenderness.
After crying for a long time, Selina's emotions gradually calmed down.
She raised her pretty, tear-streaked face, looked at Lin Tian, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
There was gratitude, dependence, curiosity, and a hint of… deep infatuation?
"Lin…" Her voice was thick with a nasal tone, "You… who exactly are you?"
"Who I am, does it matter?" Lin Tian gently stroked her hair, his voice soft, "What matters is, I know who you are, Selina."
"I know your past, your pain, your desires."
"And I also know…" A burning light flashed in Lin Tian's eyes, "Who you will belong to… in the future."
When Selina heard this, her heart skipped a beat! Her cheeks flushed again!
She naturally understood the meaning of Lin Tian's words!
Although she knew this man was very dangerous! Perhaps even more dangerous than all of Gotham City's villains combined!
But… for some reason… she didn't… dislike it at all?!
In fact… there was even a hint of secret anticipation?!
Anticipation… of being possessed by such a powerful and "understanding" man?
"Come with me, Selina." Lin Tian extended his hand, issuing an invitation, "Leave the quagmire of Gotham."
"I will give you… everything you desire."
"Power, wealth, status…"
"And…" Lin Tian's voice was full of temptation, "A truly safe harbor… a warm embrace."
Selina looked at Lin Tian's outstretched hand, at his eyes full of confidence and possessiveness.
She knew that once she held this hand, her destiny would be completely changed.
She would no longer be the free-spirited Catwoman.
But would become one of this man's many "collections."
But… what of it?
Perhaps… this was the true home… she had always longed for?
Selina took a deep breath, no longer hesitating.
She slowly extended her hand.
Gently, she placed it in Lin Tian's warm and powerful palm.
"Okay."
A simple word.
Yet it represented her final choice.
And complete surrender.
Lin Tian looked at the sexy wildcat, now completely "tamed" by him, a victorious smile on his face.
He gently pulled her into his arms.
Lowered his head.
And kissed those wild and charming red lips.
At the same time.
A very subtle "Hehuan Mark," filled with charm and control.
Silently merged into the depths of Selina's soul.
From then on.
Gotham City had one less free Catwoman.
And Lin Tian's harem.
Gained a sexy, cunning, and absolutely loyal Queen of the Night.
After successfully adding Catwoman Selina Kyle to his "collection," Lin Tian's "hunting" trip in Gotham City did not end there.
This city, full of madness and sin, held another "prey" that greatly interested him—Harley Quinn!
This woman, once a psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum, fell into depravity due to her insane obsession with the Joker, eventually becoming the Joker's "Harley Quinn," both madly adorable and dangerously charming!
To be honest, with Lin Tian's current perspective and strength, Harley Quinn's own power wasn't strong; in fact, she could be said to be the weakest among his many "queens."
But Lin Tian was interested in her not because of her strength.
But because of her "specialness" and "interestingness."
An educated, intellectual beauty who would completely abandon everything for a madman, becoming equally insane and illogical?
This extreme contrast and twisted love made Lin Tian feel very… interesting!
He wanted to see what kind of different "flower" this girl, so thoroughly "brainwashed" by the Joker, would bloom before him, a "Demon King" who was even more powerful, more "understanding" of women's hearts, and arguably even more "mad" (in a different way)?
Moreover, the pathological and entangled relationship between Harley Quinn and the Joker was itself an excellent entry point!
Lin Tian could completely play the role of a "savior"!
To "rescue" Harley from her destructive obsession with the Joker!
To make her see the Joker's "true face" (of course, the "true face" Lin Tian wanted her to see)!
And then… make her willingly throw herself into his own "warmer," more "reliable," and more "powerful" embrace!
The drama of NTRing the Joker… just thinking about it was exciting!
What's more, although Harley Quinn wasn't powerful, she had extremely high popularity and influence in Gotham City's underworld (especially among certain female criminal groups)!
If he could subdue her as well, it would undoubtedly add another important piece to his future complete control of Gotham's underground order!
So, Lin Tian began his "redemption" (conquest) plan for Harley Quinn.
He had Zero closely monitor Harley and the Joker's movements.
He discovered that Harley seemed to be in a "low point" in her relationship with the Joker at the moment?
Perhaps because the Joker had once again used her as a pawn for some crazy scheme? Or had inflicted some form of mental or physical abuse on her?
In short, Harley was currently alone, hiding in a dilapidated apartment in Gotham City, drowning her sorrows in alcohol, heartbroken?
This was a godsend opportunity!
Lin Tian immediately took action!
He did not directly appear before Harley.
Instead, he first "arranged" an "accident."
He had Mystique (Mystique) transform into a "former friend" whom Harley once trusted but later fell out with because of the Joker, quietly approach Harley, and "casually" reveal some "truths" about the Joker to her!
For example, the Joker didn't really love her at all, only used her as a convenient tool and an outlet?
For example, the Joker actually had many other "lovers" outside? And even secretly mocked Harley's stupidity and naivety?
For example, the Joker was currently planning an extremely dangerous scheme, and Harley was very likely to become a victim in the plan again?!
These "truths," meticulously fabricated by Lin Tian yet perfectly consistent with the Joker's modus operandi, like poison, slowly corroded Harley's already fragile heart!
Making her pathological obsession with the Joker waver and doubt intensely for the first time!
Could it be… that my Puddin'… truly doesn't love me anymore?
Could it be… that I have always been… just a puppet in his hands?
Harley's heart was broken.
Just as Harley was in immense pain because of these "truths," even starting to have self-destructive thoughts!
Lin Tian!
Finally!
Appeared before her as a mysterious man who "just happened to be passing by," was "full of sympathy," and "was attracted by her unique charm"!
He didn't, like with other women, immediately display powerful strength or domineering possessiveness.
Instead, he acted extremely gentle, extremely patient, and extremely… understanding!
He would quietly listen to Harley's rambling, crazy, and painful complaints and cries.
He would look at her with the gentlest eyes, telling her "It's not your fault."
He would praise her with the most sincere tone, praising her beauty, her vitality, her "uniqueness."
He would even "go crazy" with her! "Cause trouble" with her! Do some seemingly absurd things that could make her temporarily forget her pain!
Lin Tian was like the most brilliant psychiatrist (of course, the kind with evil intentions)!
Bit by bit, dismantling Harley's inner defenses!
Bit by bit, healing the wounds left by the Joker!
Bit by bit, in her already battered heart!
Sowing his own seeds!
Seeds named "love" and "redemption"!
Harley Quinn! This crazy Harley Quinn, who once lived only for the Joker!
Under Lin Tian's gentle offensive, which was like spring rain (but actually full of calculations)!
Gradually…
Chapter 149
She was shaken!
She found out!
This man in front of her!
Seems... he understands her better than Joker?
Seems... he cares more about her than Joker?
Seems... he can bring her... true happiness and... a sense of security... more than Joker?
Could it be... he is her fated one?
Harley looked at Lin Tian's handsome face, which made her heart race!
In her eyes!
For the first time!
A different kind of light, unlike her usual madness, flickered!
It was full of confusion, dependence, and... a hint of girlish love!
133 Justice League Alarmed, Winds Rise in Gotham! Mirror Goddess, Undercurrents Surging
Lin Tian's activities in Gotham City, although deliberately kept relatively 'low-key', and with Zero and Mystra secretly handling traces,
his very existence, and the powerful and dangerous queens around him, were still as conspicuous as lighthouses in the dark to certain entities with top-tier intelligence networks and extraordinary perception abilities.
Especially the Dark Knight, Bruce Wayne, who regarded the entire Gotham City as his 'territory' and was on the highest level of alert against Lin Tian!
Although Bruce himself was affected by the Hehuan Markplanted by Lin Tian, his mental state was somewhat impacted, often feeling inexplicable fatigue and confusion in his thoughts,
his powerful willpower and rich experience as Batman still allowed him to keenly detect the various abnormalities that had recently occurred in Gotham City!
For example, extremely faint, yet unusually powerful, unknown energy fluctuations remained at certain important crime scenes?
For example, his secret surveillance equipment placed in various corners of the city occasionally captured some fleeting, blurry figures too fast to identify?
For example, some of his informants in Gotham's underworld reported that a mysterious Eastern force seemed to be silently integrating and infiltrating certain gangs recently? Even Penguin has become unusually 'quiet'?
More importantly!
The special vital sign monitor he left on Alfred showed that Alfred had fallen into a deep coma for several hours a few days ago?! And afterwards, he had no memory of what happened during the coma?!
All these abnormalities! Pointed the finger at that nightmare-like man who had once invaded the Batcave—Lin Tian!!!
He really hadn't left Gotham!!!
He had been lurking in the shadows of this city all along!!!
What exactly does he want to do?!
Bruce Wayne's heart was once again enveloped by a huge sense of crisis and anger!!!
He knew! By his own strength alone! Even with the entire Bat-Family, it would probably be difficult to contend with Lin Tian and the terrifying women around him!!!
He must seek aid!!!
He needs stronger power!!!
So!
Bruce Wayne put down his ridiculous pride and reclusiveness!
For the first time! Actively! To his'superhuman colleagues' with whom he had always maintained distance and vigilance! He sent out the highest level distress signal!!!
He contacted Superman Clark Kent, who was far away in Metropolis and seemed to be in some kind of predicament because of Lin Tian.
He contacted Wonder Woman Diana Prince, who was far away on Paradise Island, possessed the power of a deity, and seemed to have some'special connection' with Lin Tian?
He also contacted other potential Justice League members!
He unreservedly informed everyone about the abnormal situation he discovered in Gotham City! And his assessment of Lin Tian's strength and danger!!!
And! With an unprecedentedly serious and solemn tone! Issued a warning!!!
"Lin Tian! This man! Is far more terrifying than any enemy we've imagined!!! His power is unfathomable! His motives are sinister and unknown! He may even possess some kind of mental control ability that we cannot comprehend!!!"
"If we don't unite! To fight him together! Then what awaits us! What awaits the entire Earth! Is very likely... complete destruction!!!"
Batman's distress message, filled with a sense of crisis and solemn warning! Was like a giant rock thrown into a calm lake! Instantly stirred up huge waves in the hearts of those superheroes who also harbored fear and doubt about Lin Tian!!!
...Metropolis, Fortress of Solitude.
Superman Clark Kent looked at the encrypted message sent by Batman, and the accompanying reports of abnormal events in Gotham City, his face becoming extremely solemn!
Lin Tian is indeed still on Earth! And lurking in Gotham?!
What exactly does he want to do?!
Is he really trying to rule this Planet, as he said?!
Thinking of Lin Tian punching him away! And that look of disdain!
Superman's heart was filled with anger and unwillingness!!!
But he also had to admit! Lin Tian's strength was indeed far above his own!!!
He alone! Was simply no match for him!!!
Batman is right! We must unite!!!
"It seems it's time... to make a choice." Superman took a deep breath! A hint of determination flashed in his eyes!
He can no longer escape!
For Earth! For everything he protects!
He must stand up!
Even if he has to face an enemy like a god or a demon!!!
...Paradise Island.
Diana Prince also received Batman's message.
When she saw Lin Tian's name mentioned in the message! And Batman's descriptions of him, full of 'hostility' and'slander'!
Diana's brows instantly furrowed! A strong sense of displeasure surged in her heart!!!
How could Lin be a bad person?!
He clearly came to Earth to fight against cosmic threats!
He is clearly so gentle! So powerful! So... Although some of his actions are indeed a bit... overbearing? Even... cruel?
But there must be a reason for it! It is for a greater goal!
Batman! This mortal hiding in the darkness (bfbi)! He doesn't understand Lin at all!!!
How dare he slander Lin like this?!!!
In Diana's heart! For the first time! Towards this 'colleague' who is also dedicated to upholding justice! A strong sense of dissatisfaction and hostility arose!!!
However... is Lin in Gotham now?
What is he doing there?
Is he really plotting something in secret, as Batman said?
Or... has he encountered some trouble?
No! I must go and see!!!
I must go to Lin's side!!!
No matter if he is righteous or evil! No matter what he wants to do!
I will stand with him!!!
In Diana's heart! A decision was made instantly!!!
She didn't even report to her mother, Hippolyta!
She directly used a trace of spatial power contained in the 'Hehuan Mark' that Lin Tian had left on her before (this was a 'perk' Lin Tian specifically left for her, to facilitate her 'teleportation' to his side at any time)!
Buzz!!!
A faint purple-gold light flashed!
Wonder Woman Diana's figure! Instantly disappeared from Paradise Island!!!
...Other Justice League members (or reserve members) who received Batman's distress message also reacted one after another!
Some chose to immediately go to Gotham for support!
Others were temporarily unable to leave due to long distances or other important matters!
But everyone realized!!!
An unprecedented huge crisis!!!
A storm that might determine the future fate of Earth!!!
Is quietly gathering in that dark city called Gotham!!!
And Lin Tian!!!
This man who stirred up all the trouble!!!
Will become the absolute center of this storm!!!
The night in Gotham City was even darker, even more oppressive than usual.
As if the air itself was filled with a tense atmosphere, like a storm brewing.
Batman Bruce Wayne stood on the top floor of Wayne Tower, looking down at the city below, illuminated by neon lights and appearing bizarre through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, his brows tightly furrowed, his eyes solemn.
He had sent out distress signals to all the 'allies' he could contact.
But he wasn't sure how many people would respond?
Nor was he sure if, even if they all came, they could truly contend with that god-like man—Lin Tian?
He wasn't even sure if his so-called 'alliance' also harbored Lin Tian's pawns?
For example... Wonder Woman Diana, who seemed to have complex feelings for him?
Bruce's heart was filled with unprecedented anxiety and unease.
But he had no choice.
He could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.
Hopefully this time, Lady Luck would be on their side.
Suddenly!
The Batcomputer emitted a series of urgent alarms!
"Intrusion alert! Multiple high-energy signatures detected rapidly approaching Gotham City!!!"
They're here!!!
Bruce's heart tightened abruptly! He immediately focused his attention on the screen!
He saw!
The first! Was a blue-red stream of light, dazzling like the Sun! At a terrifying speed several times the speed of sound! From the direction of Metropolis! It cut through the night sky! Rushing straight towards Gotham City!!!
It's Superman!!!
Chapter 150
He's really here!!!
Seeing the figure of Earth's strongest Guardian, Bruce's heart settled slightly.
With Superman here, at least... they had a chance to fight!
Immediately after!!!
The second one! It was a golden glow filled with sacred and protective aura! As if it had transcended the barrier of space! It appeared directly above Gotham City!!!
The glow dissipated! Revealing a figure clad in red, blue, and gold armor! Wielding the Lasso of Truth and the Shield of Power! Heroic and valiant! Like a goddess of war!!!
It's Wonder Woman!!! Diana Prince!!!
She's here too!!!
And... she seems faster than before?! And stronger?!
Bruce looked at Diana's eyes, filled with determination and... a certain fanaticism? His ominous premonition grew even stronger!
Is she... really here to help him?
Or is it... Bruce didn't dare to think further!
Because!!!
The third! The fourth! Even the fifth!!!
More energy fluctuations representing different power systems! Yet equally powerful!!!
Also began to appear around Gotham City in succession!!!
A green light! Descended from the sky like a meteor! That seems to be... Green Lantern Hal Jordan?!
A deep darkness! Surged from the bottom of the sea like a tide! A figure wielding a trident! Filled with kingly dominance! Riding the waves! That is... Aquaman Arthur Curry?!
A red figure as fast as lightning! Also seemed to be rushing from the direction of Central City! That is... The Flash Barry Allen?! (The Flash of this Universe is different from the one Lin Tian encountered in the CW Universe)
Even... there's a mysterious figure emitting a green ghostly light! Able to pass through walls and burrow into the ground?! That is... Martian Manhunter Jonn Jonzz?!
Within just a few minutes!!!
The top tier of Earth's superheroes!!!
Unexpectedly, due to Lin Tian, this common "threat"!!!
Unprecedentedly!!!
Gathered in this city of sin — Gotham City!!!
This is simply... the Justice League's first official assembly!!! (Although it might not be in the most "harmonious" way)
Seeing so many powerful allies arrive! A glimmer of hope finally surged in Bruce's heart!!!
Perhaps... by combining all their strength!
They can really... confront that demon king?!
However!!!
Just as Bruce was about to activate communications! To contact the heroes! And discuss a battle plan!!!
A sudden change!!!
Occurred again!!!
Rumble!!!
The entire Gotham City!!!
Suddenly began to tremble violently!!!
As if an 18-magnitude super earthquake had occurred!!!
In the sky!!!
The already gloomy dark clouds! Instantly turned pitch black like ink!!!
Countless blood-red lightning bolts, like ferocious giant dragons!!! Traversed and roared wildly within the clouds!!!
Emitting a destructive aura that made hearts palpitate!!!
On the ground!!!
Countless plants!!! Began to grow wildly at an extremely bizarre speed!!!
Sharp vines! Broke through the Earth like venomous snakes! Entangling skyscrapers! Tearing apart streets!!!
And even giant, alluring carnivorous flowers bloomed?! Emitting deadly poison gas and alluring fragrances?!
In the ocean!!!
Towering waves were stirred up!!! Like ancient behemoths! Roaring and crashing against Gotham Harbor!!!
There were even some bizarre deep-sea creatures?! Driven by some power! Rushing onto the shore?! Beginning to attack humans?!
The entire Gotham City!!!
In just a few seconds!!!
Unexpectedly transformed into a magical purgatory filled with thunder, wildly growing plants, and deep-sea monsters!!!
"This... what on Earth is going on?!!!"
All the superheroes who had just arrived in Gotham City! Were completely stunned by this sudden, cataclysmic scene!!!
Was Lin Tian behind this?!
No! That's not right!
The aura of this power... though equally powerful! But it seems... completely different from Lin Tian's?!
It's more like... "Ororo?!"
"Pamela?!"
"Arthur?!"
Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and others! Almost simultaneously recognized the sources of these powers!!!
Storm?! Poison Ivy?! Aquaman?! (Assuming they are villains or neutral in this Universe)
How could they suddenly appear here?! And launch such a large-scale indiscriminate attack at the same time?!!!
Could it be... they were also controlled by Lin Tian?!!!
Or rather... Lin Tian deliberately lured them out! Wanting them to fight among themselves with the Justice League?!!!
An extremely solemn and ominous premonition surged in the hearts of all the heroes!!!
They knew!!!
Tonight's Gotham!!!
Is destined to become a!!!

Bloodbath!!!
Slaughterhouse!!!
The chaos in Gotham City, like ice dropped into a boiling oil pot, instantly ignited this already fragile city.
Gale-force winds and torrential rain! Thunder and lightning! Wildly growing carnivorous plants! And grotesque monsters surging from the deep sea!
Various cataclysmic scenes unfolded simultaneously in every corner of the city, transforming Gotham into a magical purgatory filled with destruction and madness.
The members of the Justice League (or its nascent form), who had just assembled here, were momentarily thrown into disarray by this sudden, massive disaster caused by multiple forces!
Superman Clark Kent, suppressing his inner apprehension towards Lin Tian and his doubts about his own strength, once again transformed into a blue-and-red light of protection, rushing towards the rampaging deep-sea monsters, attempting to use his powerful strength to prevent their further destruction of the city!
Batman Bruce Wayne, on the other hand, piloted his Batwing, navigating precariously through the thunderous Storm and wildly growing plant vines, utilizing various high-tech weapons to support Director Gordon and the Gotham police who were evacuating civilians on the ground! At the same time, his brain was working at lightning speed, trying to uncover the true cause and mastermind behind this chaos! Were Storm, Poison Ivy, and Aquaman (or their subordinates) truly out of control simultaneously? Or... was all of this just another one of that man's... schemes?!
The Flash Barry Allen (of this Universe), using his unparalleled speed, rapidly traversed the city, rescuing trapped citizens, extinguishing nascent fires, and doing his best to mitigate the damage caused by this disaster!
Green Lantern Hal Jordan, manifested huge green energy barriers and various strange weapons with his willpower, fighting against the crazed plants and monsters!
Martian Manhunter Jonn Jonzz, utilized his shapeshifting and telepathic abilities to try and locate and awaken civilians who might be under mental control, or search for enemies hidden in the shadows!
And Wonder Woman Diana Prince of this Universe!
She immediately sensed the Storm energy, filled with the mighty power of nature, yet carrying a hint of brutality! And the plant power, full of vitality, yet carrying a deadly poison and a hint of madness!.
134 Goddesses clashing? Lin Tian's calculations! Devil King's whisper, Mirror Heart
"Ororo?! Pamela?!" Diana's heart jolted!
She recognized these two powers! And had even dealt with their wielders! (In the setting of this merged Universe, Storm and Poison Ivy might be morally ambiguous or have been villains in the past).
How could they suddenly appear in Gotham at the same time?! And launch such a large-scale, indiscriminate attack?!
Could it be... they were also controlled?!
By whom?!
Lin Tian?!
As this thought arose, Diana's heart sank sharply!
She immediately swung her Lasso of Truth, binding a carnivorous vine that attacked like a giant python, while simultaneously using her Shield of Power to block a lightning bolt aimed at civilians!
She had to find Ororo and Pamela as soon as possible! To find out exactly what happened!
And she also had to... find the man who might be hidden behind the scenes, controlling all of this!
However!
Just as Diana was about to move, heading towards the area with the strongest energy fluctuations!
Suddenly!
An extremely familiar! Yet incredibly shocking and unbelievable aura!
Without warning!
Appeared within her sensory range!
That aura... was filled with sacredness, protection, and... the unique pride and strength of the Amazon!
It was almost like... another herself?!
How could that be?!
Diana sharply turned her head! Looking in the direction from which the aura came!
She saw!
On the rooftop of a building not far away!
