American comics: What kind of evil intentions could Batman have?

Chapter 38 Tubers

Chapter 38 Tubers

Right ...

despair.

Bane's mask fell to the ground.

That black and white hood, even though it was tattered, had once been firmly fastened to Bane's head—

At this moment, it falls off.

And Bain's ego... also sank into darkness.

[Warning! Warning! Anchored item detected:]

Bane's Mask

[Description: This is the mask that Bane lost after enduring an attack by an army of 2, infection by the Joker's Venom, and the corruption of the Corruption Black. Along with the mask, Bane's pure and proud self lay stained in the mud. You might use it to summon Batman from a parallel universe.]

Chen Tao had almost forgotten about the existence of the Alfred Protocol.

But can something summoned because of something defiled truly possess a pure and innocent identity?

"No! Damn it, is this... the laughing gas that clown clown controls? Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter, how is this possible?"

I, Bane, will never be poisoned by such a low-level toxin... Aha—hahahaha! I am the super warrior, Bane! Awoooooo—"

[Warning! Warning! Batman #52 is too far from the anchored object. Please find a way to grab it immediately!]

Chen Tao's gaze was fixed on the mask at Bane's feet. He let out a breath, then turned and whispered a few words to Robin.

A decaying, black power spread through the forest. Trees wrinkled and rotted, and a tree right before Harley Quinn's eyes turned into a pile of foul-smelling, rotten wood.

The squirrels and several other unidentified small animals on the tree fled in panic, their little minds unable to comprehend why they had suddenly met with such misfortune.

Just as Harley Quinn was about to reach out to save the animals, Deadshot didn't hesitate to shoot one of them and blow it to pieces.

Hey—you're there—

"Take a good look—"

Harley turned her head and saw the once adorable squirrel let out a deflated scream. The animal raised its head, and maggots crawled across its porous face. Segments of insects, dripping with slime, were pulled from its body and then unfurled. This made it look like a giant spider. Then, the little monster suddenly leaped up and pounced on Harley Quinn—

boom!

The Deadshot fired another shot, then stepped forward, pulled out a flamethrower from behind his back, and set it on fire.

Seeing the squirrel screaming and rolling around in the fire, he took two steps back and said, "I've never seen anything so bizarre in my life."

Without a word, Poison Ivy raised her hand, and vines sprouted from the ground and climbed up Harley Quinn's body, forming a vine armor around her.

"Harley, be careful." Poison Ivy gritted her teeth.

"Don't get touched by this thing. The vines on you possess the power of all things green; they can protect you temporarily."

Deadshot, standing nearby, said, "Why didn't you get one for me too?"

Poison Ivy ignored him.

"Waaah, Little Red, thank you!"

Harley Quinn gave Poison Ivy a hug: "You're the best!"

"So why can't I have one too? I'm also very afraid of dying."

"roll."

The two women spoke to him together.

The vibrant green rapidly withered under the power of the decaying black. The giant zombie Solomon Grandi watched the blackness spread to his feet, his large, grayish-white face contorting in a grotesque expression.

"Grandy hates these things!"

Chen Tao whispered to the Poison Ivy Woman, "How much more of the power of the Green of All Things can you still gather?"

Poison Ivy glanced at the Botanist.

The plant master who just collapsed on the ground was at most temporarily unable to resist because her body was rotting from the corrosive herbicide solution, and she still needed to be tied up with vines by her other representative of the green of all things.

Now, his face looked like a decaying tree, like an old man over 100 years old whose life was coming to an end. His once robust body and the thick green leaves on his cheeks had turned into withered gray-black.

This was exactly what Batman had done, and Chen Tao felt a little embarrassed, but he immediately put those feelings behind him.

Poison Ivy released the vines blocking Jason Wood's mouth: "Jason, we need your help!"

Chen Tao then asked, "Where are the tubers on the swamp monster's body?"

"I...felt power..."

The zombie Bane grinned, and even though it was corroded by the decaying blackness, the clown's poison gas was still working: "Ha! Ha! Ha... Hehe..."

"What happened?"

Another voice rang out from the zombie Bane: "We are the three hunters, how could poison made by mere mortals..."

"Enough, stop embarrassing yourself. The decaying forces of nature haven't completely taken control of this body; a part of him is still alive, protected by the Crimson of All Beings—there's no time for this, prepare to deal with the enemy!"

boom!

The grayish-white giant zombie's fist struck Bane's face hard, sending his head flying high. But Bane showed no sign of pain; instead, he let out a joyful laugh and gave Solomon Grandi a hug.

"Fool, prepare to face the power of a corrupt nation..."

"???"

"Solomon Grandi is a giant zombie, neither alive nor dead; the power of the Decaying Kingdom is useless against him," Chen Tao whispered to Poison Ivy. "But we can't expect this mindless creature to help us defeat the enemy."

"I understand, I understand, I'm already looking, don't rush me!"

At this moment, the Plant Master was laid flat on the ground. Poison Ivy used the power of the Green of All Things to cut open his plant body, and Killer Croc helped by rummaging through the Plant Master's stomach.

Of course, this yielded no results.

Poison Ivy grew anxious. She stood up, walked up to the Botanist, and grabbed his face.

"Damn it, Jason! Do you even realize how serious the situation is? The Corrupted Black is right in front of us, and you're still trying to fight me?"

"Is this it?" Killer Crocodile suddenly shouted. He stretched out his hand and held a lump of somewhat hard green substance with a sticky green coating on the surface.

Poison Ivy turned around: "Those are the scraps left after Jason absorbed all the nutrients from the food he ate."

She turned back to the plant expert: "Think about it carefully. No matter how much we fight among ourselves, we are all part of the green of all things!"

"That's moral blackmail," the plant master grumbled in a low voice. "Traitor!"

"Ugh!" Killer Croc stood there dumbfounded for a moment, then almost vomited.

He suppressed his nausea and, instead of throwing the plant master's thing aside, stuffed it back into the plant master's body.

I won't stand for this!

"Jason! We're friends, we..."

"Enough, look!" Chen Tao interrupted Poison Ivy.

He jerked the Plant Master's head sharply towards the battlefield where Solomon Grandi and Bane were locked in a brutal brawl, with Deadshot and Cheshire Cat firing furiously at Bane: "If the Rotten Black wins, we'll all die!"

"And before I die, I'll definitely throw you to that monster first!"

The plant master remained silent for a moment...

Then he vomited out two tubers.
