General Ika's worries grew stronger as time passed. Most crucially, General Ika knew that Batman, who had put on the Ikka Mask, could know every thought in his mind. Once Batman had finished dealing with the aftermath in Gotham and had his hands free, he would not let him off either!
Yet while General Ika was uneasy, Batman did not put on the Ikka Mask again. He did not even seem inclined to use it when he was injured while handling the incident in Gotham...
"Master, if necessary, I can dispatch other equipment to support you..." In the Batcave, the butler Finn looked at Batman, who was treating his wounds, and spoke in a low voice.
"No need..." Batman shook his head, as if his mind was not entirely clear, and directly refused Finn. Only after refusing did Batman add, "To be honest, ever since I got the Ikka Mask, it's been a long time since I used my own strength to deal with enemies. If I don't put it to proper use, my body is going to rust..."
"How could that be? Master, aren't you still doing high-intensity training? And besides, you're not young anymore..." Finn sighed softly, looking at Batman's injuries with some distress as he said, "No matter what means you use, as long as you can control it and prevent problems, then it's a safe method. With only a mortal body, how could you possibly handle every supernatural incident?"
"I think that even if you don't use the Shadowkhan from the Ikka Mask, you should at least use some special methods. Master, you don't need to act personally at all. You could learn from Tony Stark and stay behind the scenes from time to time while letting Mecha act. That would be a good choice too,
