Chapter 172 I am...invincible! (5000-word long chapter)
"I really fucked your **** corpse and kissed ****... Batman, being your teammate is *****!"
Deadly, his face covered in blood from the betrayal, lay sprawled on the ground like a dead dog, clutching his chest where blood was gushing out.
Any ordinary person suffering such injuries would be a corpse by now, but Deathstroke is a Mirakuru serum-enhanced human, which grants him extremely strong self-healing abilities, except for the inability to regenerate severed limbs.
Chen Tao, who had walked up to him, quickly pulled off his hood to ensure he could inhale more oxygen, and then took out a full set of first aid measures.
He first injected an adrenaline into Deathstroke's thigh, then plugged the large hole in his chest with pre-prepared gauze.
When he manipulated Superman to insert his hand into his chest, it wasn't a claw-like hand, so although the hole looked large, it didn't destroy his heart.
Due to excessive blood loss and insufficient blood supply to the brain, Deathstroke, who was just cursing Batman, gradually stopped.
He was somewhat dazed, his unfocused eyes fixed on the other person, then looked at the gauze and bandages on his chest:
"You...how could you...have prepared all this beforehand?"
Chen Tao turned his head away somewhat guiltily: "I just keep first aid supplies on hand."
"Oh, is that so?"
Deathstroke replied, dazed.
If his intelligence were normal at this moment, the cold-blooded and cunning mercenary should have quickly deduced that the giant bat bandaging him had been plotting for a long time, intending to use him as a tool to deceive Brainiac.
But at this moment, the serum was taking effect, accelerating the healing of his body, and the resulting side effects also reduced Deathstroke's IQ to an unprecedented low.
Deathstroke stared blankly at Chen Tao, his eyes glazed over.
Then he saw Chen Tao pull out a small spray gun and fire a shot at him.
As crimson bubbles exploded on him, Deathstroke heard Batman explain to him:
"This foam is made of magnesium carbide powder, the most absorbent material in the world. It contains countless tiny pores, and one gram of this material can cover a plane of nearly 800 meters. Slade, it can restrain you when you go berserk due to the side effects of the serum."
Deathstroke's eyes widened. "Really?" he said slowly. "That's amazing?!"
He paused:
"Thank you."
The death knell tolls softly.
"But why would you make such preparations specifically to bind me?"
"I've always been prepared for this."
Chen Tao answered him. He watched as the expression on Deathstroke's face gradually changed from confusion to ferocity.
The side effects started to kick in.
"Sorry, Slade, if I had told you the plan beforehand, Brainiac would have read it right out of your head."
Chen Tao casually picked out a small piece of foam and sealed it to Deathstroke's mouth as he roared. At this point, Deathstroke had completely fallen into a berserk state of bestiality, but because he was wrapped in foam like a cocoon, he could only writhe on the ground.
That's terrible.
Chen Tao covered his mouth, trying his best to stop the non-existent tears from falling.
Who ruined my good teammate Deathstroke like this?
Oh, it's me. Never mind then.
Anyway, Deathstroke can heal himself, and I prepared treatment in advance, so this doesn't count as betraying my teammates.
Yes, that's right.
Chen Tao hypnotized himself: It's not like I'm betraying my teammates, it's not like I'm betraying my teammates...
He stood up, looked around, then picked up a small piece of the broken breastplate from the ground. The silver-white lettering of the Alfred Protocol immediately flashed on his retina:
[Deathstroke's breastplate with a hole in it]
[Description: A loyal and brave mercenary, betrayed and stabbed through the breastplate by the Son of Krypton with a hand chop. His chest was also pierced along with the breastplate.]
Chen Tao felt somewhat embarrassed. He deeply reflected on himself for half a second.

The Death Knell Bat
[Hazard Level: C-]
In a dark universe, after a battle with Deathstroke, Batman...
Chen Tao shook his head; this Batman from a parallel universe was of little use.
He turned his head, and the living wire, looking utterly dejected, pieced his body back together, now cut in two.
"Once we get the pardon this time," Electro said, "Batman, if I ever work with you again, I'm a dog."
Then LiveWire looked at Red Hood with a dangerous glint in his eyes: "Did you tell Batman my information? I only told you that I can survive being cut open."
"I'm innocent." Jason quickly shook his head. "I wouldn't tell Batman something like this."
He held up three fingers and swore, "If I tell Batman, may I be beaten half to death with a crowbar and then blown up by a bomb."
Seeing the live wire and still wanting to pursue the matter, Jason quickly pointed at Brainiac, who was still kneeling there: "Stop messing around, Brainiac isn't finished yet."
Chen Tao shook his head.
Jason didn't actually tell him about the live wire; he read about it in a comic book.
The other villains hurriedly dragged the still writhing Deathstroke to the back.
Black Manta walked over. Superman had torn off one of his arms from his armor.
His face was hidden under his helmet, so his expression was impossible to discern.
"So, what do we say now?"
He picked up the two swords he had thrown down and stood somewhat awkwardly a distance away from Superman and Wonder Woman.
Chen Tao waved his hand, and Black Sand, as gentle as a breeze, picked up the half of Black Manta's armor that had been removed and took it back in front of Black Manta.
Nanorobots are rapidly repairing broken wires and metal.
"I had Superman demolish the easiest part of you to fix."
Black Manta heard Batman say something, and then the next moment, Wonder Woman and Superman, who were still under control, lifted Brainiac, who was lying silently on the ground, up from the left and right.
"What's his situation now?"
"I asked the black manta ray."
"Brainiac's mind has been forcibly forced into this Krull body," Chen Tao said. "His connection with the spaceship has been severed."
"This brain with a mechanical body is not enough to fully handle Brainiac's enormous computing power. Right now, he's like an elephant stuffed into a small room, temporarily unable to resist—probably."
Chen Tao said.
He touched his stomach.
The black nanobots flowing through his body like blood had quietly transported the vial containing the Doomsday virus and its antidote, which Poison Ivy had previously provided to him, into his abdominal cavity.
I hope I won't need it...
Black Manta waited a few seconds, but didn't hear Batman say anything more.
"So, are we going to kill Brainiac now?"
Black Manta turned to look at Superman and Wonder Woman, who simply lifted Brainiac from the ground but did nothing else, and then turned to look at Batman, who was standing far away and had not come forward.
Brainiac's head slumped, as if he had completely lost consciousness. Chen Tao simply watched him quietly, without taking a single step closer.
He asked, "What are you doing, Batman?"
He said, "What are you waiting for?"
Not far away, Live Electric Wire and Jason stood together, and they slowly walked to Black Manta's side.
A bombshell and several other minor villains are settling the still-mad Deathstroke.
drop.
Hey.
drop.
Hey.
The world seems to be breathing.
The black manta ray felt a chill run down its spine.
The silent alarm suddenly blared in his ears, shrill and hysterical.
"It's not over yet, is it, Batman?"
He asked.
He raised the knife in his hand.
Beep! Beep beep beep—
Black Manta's armor was gradually filled with energy, and the eye area of his helmet turned red, with red lasers ready to fire at any moment.
Boom!
Black manta rays can hear their own heartbeat.
Boom!Boom!
The sound grew louder and louder, and then at a certain moment... it finally reached a critical point.
call--
Then, in the next moment, all was silent.
"Batman, you've caused me a lot of trouble."
Big trouble... trouble... disturbance...
Layers of sounds echoed through the spaceship.
Brainiac straightened up.
"No one has ever pushed me to this limit. Amazing. I am now trapped in this organic body—even if only temporarily."
For the first time in so many centuries, I feel the danger of failure. I'll grant you a small compliment, Batman… just for now.
call!
Wonder Woman swung her fist at Brainiac's face. But it didn't even touch the green alien with his hands behind his back.
A hand gripped Wonder Woman's wrist—a hand no one had expected.
A hand covered in hideous bone spurs.
A doomsday hand.
Superman's hand.
The former Son of Steel had grown slightly taller, with bone spurs protruding from his body.
His face was ashen.
"Kryptonians have no secrets from me."
Brainiac said:
"The Doomsday bio-weapon was essentially invented by the Kryptonians, who, like you Earthlings, are a race that is keen on killing each other. This monster is a product of Kryptonian genetic mutation."
Brainiac gently stroked Superman, who was gradually transforming into Doomsday, as if he were petting a docile puppy.
"The technology to transform Kryptonians into Doomsday was already quite advanced before Krypton's destruction, and I made further improvements."
"Did you think I sent those robots just to distract Wonder Woman and Superman?"
Wonder Woman tried to swing her other fist, but Superman, whose face was almost completely covered in keratinized skin, grabbed her with his other hand. He opened his mouth, and a blast of cold air erupted from it, rushing over Wonder Woman's body like a surging ocean current, freezing her into a solid block of ice.
"The secret modification began the moment I invaded Superman's brain. Kal-El, or Clark Kent, is far more powerful than any of the prototypes I've ever had before."
The black manta ray struck Brainiac like lightning, followed by real lightning: live wires.
But what appeared before them was a Superman who had completely destroyed Japan.
"As I predicted, a robust base body means a faster modification process. In just a few hours, Doomsday cells with enough energy to proliferate will be able to take over Karl's body."
Brainiac watched as Batman, now synchronized with Bizarro Bat, stood in front of Black Manta. The three of them combined to catch Doomsday Superman's attack, then flew out like three baseballs.
Batman's actions were wise; the timing and the strike were perfect. He saved Black Manta's life; otherwise, that blow would have been enough to rip him open.
Wonder Woman broke free of the ice.
Her face was still green. Her brain was still being invaded by Brainiac, but her body was subservient to Chen Tao because of the pink pills.
She stood with Chen Tao and the others.
"Give up, Batman," Brainiac said.
"The bombs I deployed did not launch, and Earth still has a chance to survive. As long as you are willing to surrender, I do not want to risk destroying you, this precious material, by continuing to fight."
He followed Batman's gaze and looked at Superman.
Superman's face was a grayish-green, the "S" on his chest was still shining brightly, and his fiery red cape fluttered behind him.
"Are you still counting on him?"
Brainiac tilted his head slightly, and the next second, the look of panic that belonged to Clark appeared on Doomsday Superman's face: "Bat... Ah!"
He screamed in agony as his body grew taller and taller, bursting through his Superman suit and tearing his red cape. He was completely losing his human form, with countless bone spurs and tendons sprouting from his body.
The pain on his face vanished, replaced by a vicious and deathly silence.
The S that symbolized hope has been shattered.
As a glint of light flashed in Batman's eyes, Superman, now completely transformed into Doomsday, grabbed his tattered cape and threw it in front of Batman.
"Still unwilling to surrender? Fine."
Brainiac nodded. He walked a short distance away, picked up the two metal tubes that had been pulled out of his head, pressed them against the tubes twice, and then reinserted them into his head.
This does not mean that his consciousness has returned to the spaceship. Batman's compression of his will was indeed successful. The elephant that has been stuffed into the room cannot be pulled out in such a short time. At this moment, he is just using this mechanical body to control the spaceship.
But what's the use? Whether he's in an organic body or not, Batman's defeat is already inevitable.
The portal opened from behind him.
The black manta chuckled softly.
"Are you kidding me?"
He said.
One Doomsday after another emerged from it. Those Doomsdays that Batman had brought and then banished were now all back.
They stood there silently, like terracotta warriors.
"You used Kryptonian technology to equip each Doomsday with a teleportation device."
Brainiac said, "You never intended to use their power; you teleported them to the Phantom Zone at the very beginning of the battle."
"You think I have no way to find them in this vast, phantom zone, right?"
"It was really hard to find," Brainiac said. "It took me a lot of time to finally get them back."
With a clang, Black Manta threw the two knives to the ground.
He took off his helmet.
"ridiculous."
He said.
"Fuck your Batman. Fuck your Brainiac. Fuck your stupid Superman. Fuck your Doomsday."
The black manta ray said, "I'm not playing anymore."
He kept repeating, "This is simply a joke."
"Surrender, Batman," Brainiac said. "I sincerely advise you."
His gaze swept over Black Manta, Deathstroke lying not far away, and the third-rate villains.
"As an additional condition, how about this? Not only will you spare the Earth, but everyone you know will too. I can spare them as well. As long as you're willing to cooperate with me, let me study you, and surrender to me."
Chen Tao trembled as he grabbed the Superman costume, his eyes glazed over.
His gaze was unfocused, as if he were concentrating on some unseen words on his retina.
He got distracted.
boom!
In a flash, two thick chains burst through the floor, binding the distracted Batman tightly.
"Batman!" Red Hood growled in a low voice, but he was quickly stopped by Doomsday standing in front of him.
"finally."
"Brynack said."
He murmured softly.
"finally."
"Earth's treasure, Earth's defender, ever-changing and strange creatures, an unpredictable anti-science experiment, Batman—you are mine."
Brainiac felt a sense of relief he hadn't felt in five centuries.
Batman lowered his head.
"It's not over yet. Brainiac, it's not over yet."
"Is it not over yet?"
He heard Brainiac's voice:
"The chains that bind you are forged under the pressure of an inverted black hole."
"This is the only way to manipulate Crentim steel—the hardest metal in the universe."
"These chains are used to pull stars in galaxies."
[WARNING! You have been detected holding the anchored item: Superman's Torn Cloak]
"They are indestructible."
Therefore, all your efforts are in vain.
Do you know the meaning of "indestructible"?
[WARNING! Downloading a Batman-targeting file]
"And I am Brainiac. My history predates your entire human civilization. My knowledge is trillions of times greater than yours. Everything you do is futile against me. You can never defeat me, whether logically, scientifically, or in any other way—"
"I am invincible."
The Tramplers
[Hazard Level: SS]
Brainiac's voice seemed so distant, as if it came from the sky.
Do you know the meaning of "invincible"?
Chen Tao slightly raised his head and exhaled a breath of misty air swirling with silvery-white particles.
call--
"I know."
He said.
The menacing barbs eagerly clung to Batman's face; while the jagged rocks, resembling both strange stones and ocean tides, surged, roared, and emitted terrifyingly high-pitched sounds.
And so at that moment, the Dark King roared and spread his wings; while the mighty biological force, as light as a butterfly weighing a thousand pounds, shattered the chains that were falsely claimed to be "indestructible"!
"I know."
Brainiac heard Batman's voice, a voice as deep and resonant as molten lava.
"I know."
He trembled and shook, as if he were completely naked, as he met those scarlet eyes.
"I am indestructible."
"I am invincible!!!"
My company had a dinner party today, so I'm updating early. I drank a lot and I'm a little dizzy, um. I probably won't get home until really late tonight. *sobs*
And, it's a new PY deal!
