Can We Take a Photo Together?

Seeing the Adamantium Blade easily cut through the arm guard, Batman's eyes narrowed. He knew that if he didn't do something, he might become a one-armed bat tonight.

He braced himself with both hands against the downward-pressing longsword, his fingertips touching the button on the arm guard, summoning the Batmobile while simultaneously activating another device.

Crackling sounds!

Visibly, Electric Arc azure electricity crackled around Batman's arm guards, the leaping current illuminating the dark warehouse and extending along the Adamantium Blade all the way to Russell's Deathstroke Armor.

(一`一)

Russell was a bit confused, unsure whether he should reveal his "Lightning Rod" properties, because Batman's abilities only worked the first time he showed them to him.

One time isn't enough to torture Batman; the more the merrier!

According to Russell's original plan, he wouldn't display too many abilities during their fight tonight. Aside from the Deathstroke suit and its accompanying weapons, he would only possess Adamantium Blade, close-quarters combat skills, and Superman physical attributes.

Batman has faced many similar enemies and will surely find a way to deal with them. When Batman comes to him again with full confidence, he will then demonstrate his ability to control lightning.

The third time, using Dark Energy, he transformed into Little Black Angel, keeping his Wings of Light as a secret.

Fourthly, check the weather; if it rains...

Digging Holes if it doesn't rain!

After that, and it's a little embarrassing to admit, Russell had several Character Cards with unique abilities that were neither useful nor worth discarding...

Crackling sounds!

While Russell was struggling with his decision, Batman broke free from the Adamantium Blade and unleashed a lightning-fast punch at Russell's cheek.

Russell swung his longsword back, slicing a gash in Batman's chest armor. At the same time, the latter's fist, crackling with sparks and lightning, slammed into Batman's faceplate.

Bang!

Russell took three steps back as a sign of respect, while Batman took two steps back to steady himself. Arcs of Electric Arc flickered on his clenched fists as he frowned and asked, "Your armor can absorb electricity?"

"Ah? Yes! Now that you've found out, I won't hide it anymore."

As Russell spoke, he suddenly swung his longsword, and Electric Arc of Lightning Snake crackled and leaped across the blade.

He looked directly at Batman and said seriously, "As expected of a veteran in the world of heroes, you discovered my deeply hidden trump card. You have no choice but to admire me!"

This guy is an idiot!

Batman cursed the Silly Bird inwardly, deactivated the Electric Arc mechanism on his arm guard, took two steps back, raised his hand to lift his black robe, and disappeared into the darkness.

Whoosh!

With the Grappling Hook Gun firing, Batman leaps onto the steel beams of the warehouse, throwing two Smoke Bombs from his vantage point. His Bat-helmet, equipped with night vision, a thermal imager, sonar, and Gas Mask, allows him to easily spot enemies in the dark.

Russell held his breath, channeling his Magic Power into his eyes, which glowed slightly blue. His Mind Stone senses, like Radar, detected the warehouse and factory, and he met Batman's gaze from afar.

Seeing this, Batman didn't think much of it and determined that Russell's mask had the same function as the Bathelm. He half-squatted on the beam and raised his hand to scatter six Batarang.

The boomerang swept past Russell's side, then turned back at an even faster speed, accelerating and heading straight for his back and other vital areas from different angles.

"A trivial skill!"

Russell whirled around, his longsword flashing three brilliant streaks of light in the darkness, striking down the enemies one by one with a series of sharp clanging sounds.

Six more black dots fell from the sky. Without saying a word, Russell swung his longsword and swept out a burst of energy, directly shattering the six black dots.

Smash it?

After a series of loud explosions, a large cloud of purplish-black smoke filled the warehouse. Russell inhaled a slightly sweet gas and determined it to be either Poison Gas or Hypnotic Gas.

Because it was really sweet, he took two more sips!

From the roof beam, Batman clearly saw this scene and was certain that Russell's armor was very advanced. To defeat Russell, he had to remove the armor first.

He pulled out several Bat-Dart, combined them with his Grappling Hook Gun, aimed at the seams of the armor, and launched the Bat-Dart at top speed.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Russell brandished his longsword, deflecting the darts one by one. "Senior, don't always use the same trick..."

Rumble!!!

A Bat-Dart strapped with Miniature Bomb exploded, burying Russell in a rolling red fireball. Batman raised his cape to block the flames, took out a signal transmitter, pressed it, and then leaped from the sky, heading straight for the figure standing in the flames.

Clang!

The Blade flashed, Russell, facing the incoming Bat-Dart, chose to ignore it. He let it strike his armor, creating clanging sparks, and then thrust his blade straight at Batman's chest.

After landing, the bat first threw four Bat-Dart, then raised its Grappling Hook Gun and pulled the trigger, aiming it at Russell's forehead.

Russell dodged the Grappling Hook Gun by turning his head, but it still pierced the wall behind him. Batman pressed the mechanism on the Grappling Hook Gun, retracting the rope and propelling it faster towards Russell.

The Adamantium Blade gleamed coldly. As the Blade drew near, Batman raised his arm and slightly deflected it with the blade, releasing his grip on the grappling Grappling Hook Gun in time. He ducked and slipped past Russell, appearing directly behind him, completely unprepared.

With six Bat-Dart between his hands, Batman's gaze swiftly locked onto the seams of Russell's armor, and six cold beams of light slashed down.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding————

Russell, with his longsword slung behind his back, acted as if he had eyes in the back of his head, blocking all of Batman's lightning-fast sneak attacks. He then followed up with a side kick, striking Batman squarely in the shoulder.

That kick...

Russell felt that Batman's physical abilities were definitely not just at the peak of human potential; at the very least, his ability to withstand blows was Superman, making him more durable than the Flash.

The Flash: "..."

Admittedly, Russell had never met the Flash and didn't know what it felt like to punch him, but his intuition told him that the Flash definitely couldn't withstand that kick.

Don't ask, the answer is the Flash!

The Flash: "..."

Batman was hit by a whip kick and flew sideways. In mid-air, he dropped several Plastic Explosive to stop Russell's pursuit. After landing, he rolled to dissipate the force and disappeared into the darkness once again.

Knowing that Russell's mask had night vision capabilities, Batman still chose to fight in the dark, not out of wishful thinking, but because of his personal habit.

The darkness reassured him and allowed him to face formidable enemies with greater composure!

After defeating Batman, Russell glanced regretfully at the Vertical Takeoff Glider. If he hadn't been careless, he could have taken to the skies, chased Batman, and thrown Pumpkin Bomb at him all the way.

Noticing Russell's gaze, Batman was startled. He threw down two Bat-Dart, moved quickly, and dropped a Plastic Explosive as he leaped over the glider.

Boom!!!

Russell: "..."

You blew it up after just one look. If I look at the Batcave a few more times, are you going to blow Batcave up too?

Just as Russell was complaining, a series of flapping sounds suddenly rang out in the darkness, and a shadowy figure flew in through the warehouse door, screaming as it pounced on him.

Bat!

Thousands of bats screeched and screamed, making a horrifying noise. Russell gasped, his whole body trembled, and his teeth ached.

Meanwhile, Batman, having gathered all his intelligence, prepared to retreat. In their first encounter, his equipment was insufficient to fight Russell, and he needed to go back and upgrade.

Admittedly, Russell said he was a newly debuted superhero, not a villain, and both of them held back when they fought, but Batman is different from other superheroes.

If it were a hero like Superman or the Flash, upon learning that a new hero had appeared in their city, whether real or fake, they would definitely express their goodwill and welcome the newcomer to the superhero family.

Batman: No, whether you're good or bad, your identity must be registered first, then your specific abilities, and finally your fatal weakness, so he can dig deeper...

No, it's so that when he falls into villainy, he can immediately come up with a solution!

Almost immediately after the swarm of bats descended, a powerful-looking Batmobile crashed through the wall and came straight to Batman. He jumped in, stepped on the gas, and sped away without uttering a single harsh word.

Crackle!

Lightning crackled inside the warehouse, and swarms of bats fell as charred remains. Russell sheathed his longsword, glanced at the taillights, and said, "Hmph, having offended Dimensional Demon... Deathstroke thinks he can just walk away? Not so easy!"

Buzzing!

Inside the Batmobile, Batman switched to autopilot mode, connected the images collected in his helmet to his computer, and searched for people in Gotham City who matched Russell's identity.

Boom!!

With a loud bang, the heavy Batmobile shuddered violently. Batman looked up and saw Russell standing on the hood, his feet treading on the Batmobile's armor, leaving two deep footprints.

"Senior, the battle isn't over yet!"

"..."

Without saying a word, Batman slammed on the brakes.

Russell leaned back, his Adamantium Blade piercing the armor of the Batmobile, narrowly avoiding the tragic fate of the Old Driver being thrown out.

Click!

The mechanism on the Batmobile was activated, and a Six-barreled Aircraft Cannon was fired, slowly rotating towards Russell.

Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap—

Russell raised his knife with one hand and swung it to create an impenetrable net of sword energy, deflecting the rapidly approaching bullets with unwavering resistance.

Batman looked surprised. Russell hadn't shown this ability before. Was he deliberately hiding it, or...?

His first thought was that Russell couldn't maintain his current high-speed sword-swinging state for long.

Sizzle!

With the six-barreled Vulcan Cannon out of ammunition, Russell tore open the armor of the driver's seat with his knife. Batman lay down, and a passage opened behind the seat, allowing him to pop out of the driver's seat and escape from the trunk.

The bat cape transformed, hardening into bat wings as hard as metal. The thrusters activated, and the body soared upwards.

A sword aura shot out, severing the connection between Batman and the aircraft on his back. Russell grabbed the falling Batman, pinning him against the wall by the neck.

The Adamantium Blade stopped in front of Batman's face. Russell squinted and said in a deep voice, "Senior, before you leave, could you take a photo with the fans?"
