Chapter 150 Bane: Perfect Teamwork with His Enemy
Bain concealed his body behind the ruins.
On his way here, he had gradually reviewed and figured out Blake and Luther's plan.
Bain's cold, stern face twitched slightly beneath his mask, then quickly returned to calm.
It must be admitted that, affected by the venom withdrawal symptoms, his judgment was significantly impaired, making him so easily manipulated.
Honestly, it's a disgrace to the Bat-like villains.
Hmm... Bain shook his head.
Don't think like that. The so-called battle for honor between superhuman villains and bat-like villains is just something we made up to fool those idiots.
Although he preached so-called "honor" to those idiots every day, it was nothing more than a brainwashing speech to get them to bring their own food and become his lackeys, getting freebies from him. He used a hollow goal to unite everyone, and then led them all to work towards that goal—
But all of this is fake; don't let yourself start believing it as you talk.
That's right.
There is no such thing as "honor" for bat-like villains!
"..."
Bane didn't know why his thoughts were wandering so wildly. Was it because the side effects of Venom were still taking effect?
In short, after he finally regained some of his senses, he realized that Luthor and Black had tricked him, and that he had become their free tool to attract the attention of Batman and Superman.
Luther even told him about betraying Blake to him, probably just to make a fool of him and trick him into working for Blake for free. He used to be the one getting freebies, but now he's the one being taken advantage of.
but……
This does not mean that his previous preparations were meaningless.
Bain squinted. At this moment, his body was covered with flowers of different sizes and colors, making him look as beautiful as a fairy of a hundred flowers, and even a red rose grew in the center of his brain.
(Note: For a specific appearance, please refer to the appearance of the Botanist after gaining the power of the "Council of Flowers" in Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy magazine, where she has flowers growing on her head. The Green of All Things is divided into three councils: the Council of Trees, the Council of May, and the Council of Flowers.)
This was supposed to be a very eye-catching look, but the problem is, he had to do it.
The pollen secreted by these flowers can effectively block Blake's mental energy detection, making him recognize them as a small flower.
—To be honest, he didn't know why he was identified as a flower. The longer he held the power of the Green of All Things, the more he felt that his connection with the Green of All Things was often expressed in the form of a flower, and he didn't know why.
It wasn't obvious before, but after successfully merging with the decaying black, this connection with the flower suddenly became much clearer.
In short, this was a method he developed specifically to successfully ambush Blake. Blake's mental abilities were indeed very useful, but they were by no means a God's-eye view, much less an intelligent scanning system.
As for being visually striking...
This was an unavoidable side effect, but with his masterful stealth skills, he was confident that Blake would be completely unaware of his presence.
Just like right now.
Bain concealed his body behind the ruins, then concealed the beautiful flower growing on his head, peeking out only a tiny bit of his head.
He saw Batman and Black facing off across the distance, each only looking at the other, seemingly oblivious to his presence.
Bain gritted his teeth and took a deep breath.
This is good.
He had to get a little closer; it was a risky move, but worth it.
He extended one hand, palm open, middle and ring fingers clenched together, forming a special gesture with only the thumb, index finger, and little finger extended.
Immediately afterwards, a vine shot out from his wrist, pulling him closer to the two of them once again.
Blake's face looked strange. A thick green had accumulated on the back of his head and spread to the front half of his face.
Bane made sure the other man didn't turn around. He was quite certain his stealth was very successful; even Batman hadn't noticed him, his attention completely diverted by Black.
However, Bane's attention was completely drawn to the two of them, and he was completely unaware that Red Hood, standing behind him, was busy betraying his teammates.
While observing Bane's movements, Jason, the best Robin of the year, secretly—no, Jason suddenly realized that he could openly use his communicator to report his location to Batman, since everyone around him was on his side anyway.
"What! You're a traitor!" A voice suddenly came from behind, startling Red Hood.
Then he saw the muddy live wire cover its mouth in shock, then suddenly stick out its tongue and tap its head: "What? So it's me too, hehe."
"..."
He hates muddy faces.
"My mental abilities will be completely absorbed by Brainiac, Batman."
Bane overheard Bright say to Batman:
"Brainiac is coming, Brainiac is coming, Batman... he's in danger!"
"Do you know his true nature? Do you know who he is? He will absorb and drain every bit of wisdom and computing power of humanity on Earth, and then find a city and collect it like a specimen."
Blake's face had turned almost completely green.
Three pink dots of light shone through his skin and began to glow.
As more and more Brainiacs entered his body, Blake's thoughts overlapped more and more with Brainiacs's.
His purple hair had completely fallen out. Apart from his face still being Blake's, in terms of appearance alone, he was no different from the person Chen Tao had seen on the Brainiac spaceship.
Blake also seemed somewhat erratic, and his speech was no longer as coherent as before.
But Chen Tao knew that the other party was voluntarily recounting all the information he could see while he was conscious.
"He's like a snail sucking up cheese! Slowly draining everyone's creativity! He's a robot, he's essentially a robot, he can't create! But he can plunder creation—what a blasphemy—"
Black clutched his head, and Bane saw Batman's grim face as black sand condensed on his body, forming a bridge in the air connecting their brains.
Bane was somewhat horrified to see the face beneath the Batman mask gradually turn pale, and the corners of his mouth slowly begin to grin, as if a part of the Joker had appeared in his mind.
hiss……
Bain gasped in shock.
Although he had expected that Batman wouldn't be completely unprepared for the current situation, it was still somewhat unsettling to watch Batman start laughing right in front of him.
But Bain quickly reverted to his indifference.
As long as the other party can help him wear down Blake, that's all that matters; whatever method the other party uses is none of his concern.
Yes, that's correct.
He saw black tubes formed from nanobots sprout from Batman's body and connect one by one to Black's head, which had already begun to transform.
This appears to be a precursor to some kind of psychological attack.
But at that moment, Bane saw a Red Hood message coming through his communicator:
"Bane, I'll be right next to you. I'll rush out first to draw Blake's attention, and you can ambush him from behind and quickly defeat him."
He turned his head and saw the red-hooded figure appear not far from him, and he actually crept over quietly as well.
Bain was secretly annoyed.
Didn't he tell the other person to wait for him where they were?
Why don't you obey his orders?
The problem is that disobeying Batman's orders is almost a tradition of every Robin, so by the same logic we can infer that replacing "Batman" with "Bane" would have the same effect.
Jason's tactic was a complete replica of a classic Batman tactic: Robin draws attention, while Batman sneaks in and takes everyone down. It's only because Bane, despite his numerous encounters with Batman, never engaged in long-term criminal activity in Gotham that this tactic seemed so familiar.
But since Red Hood has already arrived, Bane wouldn't be foolish enough to send him back.
He nodded, then exchanged a brief text message with the other party on the communicator about the upcoming battle, and had a general idea of what to expect.
He looked into the arena and saw Batman with a serious expression, seemingly completely unaware of his and Red Hood's presence.
Blake is already a skeleton in a tomb, and will soon become his defeated opponent, with even his body becoming his human weapon.
Batman and Black fought to the death, but in the end, it will only benefit Batman!
And then there's Red Hood. Although he was somewhat unhappy that the other party had come to help him without his consent, look at this plan.
So detailed and tailored to the specific context, it's as if the other party has used it countless times before.
That's right.
Bain turned around, and despite being hidden in the shadows, he still exuded a sense of triumph.
Overcome with excitement, a small rose suddenly tried to sprout from his forehead, but Bain quickly pressed it back down. The flower on his forehead was too conspicuous to hide. So, the rose, left with no other option, was forced to grow from Bain's buttocks.
Bain squinted and casually and ruthlessly ripped the rose off his buttocks.
With such a meticulous plan and helpers, and with Batman drawing his attention, he can strike from behind and defeat his opponent in one fell swoop. Bane... will surely be the one who laughs last!
Blake started convulsing.
His body was dyed green from head to toe, and interfaces connecting to metal tentacles appeared on the top of his head. These were originally control ports that Brainiac used to connect to his spaceship, but now Chen Tao had inserted them as a means of mental contamination.
"Earthlings..." While one half of Blake's face maintained its usual expression, the other half suddenly became completely still.
Bane saw Batman meet that face without fear, his righteous indignation palpable.
"You Earthling. They call you Batman, right?"
"Brainiac," Bane heard Batman say, "breathtaking technology. You've completely manipulated Luthor and Black. Luthor thought he was distracting me by using Bane and those Superman villains, but he himself was just a tool you used to distract me."
"Black is very likely the most powerful telepath on Earth right now. Brainiac, you win. Yes, I once had a plan for Black to lead all the telepaths on Earth to blow your brains out, but that plan has completely fallen through. You've taken down Black, and you've destroyed the key figure in that plan."
"Telepaths are just a threat and food to me, not material worth collecting. There are countless telepaths like them in the universe."
Brainiac remained expressionless.
Blake's presence gradually disappeared from Blake's face. Bain saw that the half of Blake's face occupied by the other was getting smaller and smaller. He tried his best to open his mouth and make a sound, but in the end, he could only make a silent scream like a fish about to dry up and die on the shore.
Even without telepathy, Bane could fully imagine that kind of pain.
"On the contrary, it's you, Batman. I'm quite interested in you. On this planet, what I originally wanted to collect most was Superman and the Kryptonian Life Codex within him, but your appearance has piqued my curiosity."
As Brainiac gained a deeper understanding of the body, his face began to display increasingly human-like expressions. He was deliberately mimicking human emotions, which could be seen as a provocation, or as a form of "when in Rome, do as the Romans do."
"How on earth do you do that? One minute you're a car, the next a dinosaur, then a muscle monster, and even a nanobot. All matter transformations are not unconditional; the laws of conservation of mass and energy completely disregard you."
Brainiac's eyes gleamed: "This is fascinating. It's knowledge I've never seen before. Batman, I'll find out your secret, how you managed to do this—"
"hiss--"
He gasped sharply, then smiled and said, "It's no use, Batman. Ever since you attacked me with your psychic attack, I've been on guard against that kind of tactic. No method can work on me a second time. You should blame Luthor for letting you use this move on me beforehand."
Blake, on the other half of his face, screamed—this time not a silent scream, but a genuine wail: "Fuck you, Batman! What a fucking circus—!"
"I'm Brainiac, Batman. Welcome to meet me."
He then groaned, "Increasing pollution efficiency is useless; I will eventually—"
But the next moment he turned his head sharply and saw Red Hood jump out from his hiding place: "Eek!"
He charged straight at Brainiac, his body covered in sonic bombs. With a deafening explosion, blood gushed from Jason's mouth and nose. Even with the mud mask covering his body protecting him, the intense sonic waves still caused him considerable damage.
Chen Tao let out a burst of hysterical laughter, and more and stronger pollution continued to be transmitted towards Brainiac.
The other half of Brainiac's face roared, taking advantage of the moment Brainiac was affected by the sound waves to launch a desperate counterattack.
In the instant the three joined forces, under Chen Tao's expectant gaze, Bane finally leaped out from the hidden corner, his flowers and vines surging and wrapping around Brainiac.
A rotten, black aura surged across his face.
Chen Tao whispered silently:
You may have won...Brainiac. You may have won for now, but you should know.
Batman...will not lose.
Bain.
My old friend, my enemy, don't let me down.
Otherwise... how could you possibly be worthy of being my villain?
