Wonder Woman shook her head and didn't answer Bruce's question.
She didn't have an answer either.
The power of the Olympian gods is beyond the imagination of mortals, and they can control areas such as fate and time that are beyond the reach of humans.
Even they couldn't find the people hidden by Robert's company.
Where could she find Clark for Bruce
Seeing Wonder Woman's appearance, Bruce felt a surge of anger in his heart.
I really want to yell at him, wondering why Clark is still walking around here without finding his way.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Bruce realized that he was spiraling into chaos.
He quickly suppressed the rage in his heart and forced himself to calm down.
Roboute's company is very powerful, and I should be mentally prepared for this kind of thing.
"You really have no idea at all?" Bruce asked again without giving up.
Wonder Woman shook her head. "Not at all. The other party has lost his destiny, and the gods can't find Clark. It's like Clark has disappeared from the earth."
"I understand." Bruce said in a deep voice: "If we can't find Clark, then let's put it aside for now. The other party deliberately targeted Clark, but didn't kill him on the spot, so they probably won't kill him so quickly. If we move faster and find the mastermind, we will definitely be able to save him."
"Clark's arrest is worrying, but I'm also worried about you, Bruce. You don't look well." Wonder Woman looked at Bruce. She could feel that something was wrong in his heart.
The death of the Bat Family and Catwoman was a difficult thing for Bruce to accept.
Wonder Woman was worried that Bruce, who was always under a lot of pressure, would collapse.
That would be the end of Justice League.
Superman is the league's fighting force.
Batman is the spiritual pillar of the league.
It was Bruce's efforts that prevented the Justice League from collapsing due to the previous crises.
"I'm fine." Bruce shook his head and looked at Wonder Woman, "I can adjust myself."
"Really?" Wonder Woman saw a hint of yellow-brown light from Bruce's child's hole.
The light disappeared quickly, and she was gone before she could react.
Only those eyes revealed determination.
Did I see it wrong
Bruce stood up, stretched his muscles, and walked to where he kept the bat armor.
"Are you going out?" Wonder Woman asked.
"I'll go find some helpers." Bruce said, "The origins of Robert's company are mysterious. They were able to recruit well-known villains like Laix and dare to confront us head-on. The manipulator behind the scenes is definitely our most terrifying opponent ever. We have to use every bit of power we can get to have a glimmer of hope of defeating the other side."
"Who are you going to find, then?"
"clown."
Bruce walked out without looking back.
His words made Wonder Woman frown slightly.
Bruce wants to work with that madman called the Joker.
This is not a good sign.
Bruce didn't care what Wonder Woman said.
At this moment, all he could think about was how to take revenge.
He wanted to find out the mastermind behind the incident, remove the other party's ribs one by one, peel out the nerves of the limbs bit by bit, and then pull the throat out of the mouth.
He wants the mastermind behind this to be unable to live or die.
Only in this way can we comfort his family and loved ones.
Walking into the room where the armor was stored, several mechanical tentacles pushed the bat armor in front of Bruce.
When he turned around and opened his arms, the armor opened up just enough to accommodate him.
Bruce did not move the whole time, allowing the mechanical tentacles to arm himself while he was thinking about the Joker.
As his old enemy, Bruce is well aware of the Joker's capabilities.
Before the rise of Robinhood, the Joker and Batman were the symbols of Gotham City.
In Gotham City, no gang dares to provoke the madman Joker.
Unfortunately, with the rise of Roboute Inc., even the Crazy Joker was unable to fight against that extremely cruel force.
Mr. Freeze, Crocodile and other Gotham City villains were all transformed into mindless slaves by the other party.
The arrogant and crazy clown, who made all the gangs and residents of Gotham City tremble in fear, was forced to flee.
The Joker being caught by Robert Corporation and being caught by Batman are two completely different concepts.
Bruce will not break the laws of this country.
His ancestor was one of the founding fathers, and Wayne Group is the most successful company in the world.
This means that Bruce will not kill the Joker without legal trial.
In the fight with Batman, the Joker is not worried about what will happen to Bruce.
What's more, the Joker is not afraid of death. He has always wanted to use his own death to prove that chaos is the norm in this world.
The problem is, the Joker doesn't want to die at the hands of Roboute & Co.
Death at the hands of Roboute & Co. meant nothing to a madman like him.
The Joker's only goal is to die at the hands of Batman, the guardian of Gotham.
This proves that the world is in chaos.
Bruce knew what the Joker wanted to do, but he always adhered to his principle of not killing and was determined not to take the last step.
The two fought for a long time, but neither of them could determine the winner.
If it weren't for the emergence of Roboute Company, the two might have continued to fight.
Choose to cooperate with the Joker.
Firstly, they value his ability. If he didn't have some ability, he wouldn't be able to fight Bruce for so long.
Secondly, it is the Joker’s madness and chaos. The only reason Roboport can restrain the Joker is by relying on numbers and technology.
The Justice League will provide the Joker with equipment and assistance, so that the Joker and Robinhood are on the same level.
With the Joker's madness, he can definitely throw Roboutin Corporation into chaos.
... ... .
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..
Standing on the observation window of the Invincible Truth, one can overlook the entire huge fleet.
Ryan looked at the fleet that was handed over to him, densely covering the starry sky.
The flickering light in the distance made Ryan unsure whether it was the light from the battleship's engine or real starlight.
Such a force is enough to crush any enemy's resistance.
Behind him, officers of all ranks on the expedition sat quietly in their seats, with only the static from the floating window echoing in the conference room.
Take your gaze away.
Lai En turned his head and looked at the senior military officers who had already sat down.
The atmosphere in the meeting was slightly tense, and tension was evident on the faces of the Astartes and mortal officers.
Chapter Master of the Astral Knights, Lothar, was also present at the meeting.
Ryan is the commander-in-chief responsible for annihilating the stubborn resistance of the Space Undead.
He is the Primarch of the First Legion and a blood relative of the current Emperor.
Ryan's green eyes were bright and sharp, able to burn people's hearts like lasers.
When not in combat, Ryan would wear a simple white robe with a gold chain on it, which would highlight his tall and strong perfect body.
Now, he was wearing a battle robe and armor made with the latest technology.
An ornate golden scroll is carved onto a curved clay tablet, depicting the imperial golden double-headed eagle.
He walked towards the people in the meeting and did not stop until he reached his seat.
The two mechanical priests inserted the data crystals that had been prepared long ago into the reader.
Ryan glanced at the information window floating in front of him, which contained the current counterattack against the Norwalk Dynasty and detailed intelligence on the opponent.
"To replace the Necrons and other aliens and seize all the ruling rights in the galaxy is a plan that His Majesty has already formulated. For this reason, any issue regarding the benefits of war can be directly rejected. The only purpose of this war is to completely put an end to the Necrons headed by the Silent King and hand over all the ruling rights of the Necrons to our ally, King Sotai."
Lai En typed a series of control commands into the information window in front of him.
The micro logic quickly processes the instructions written by the primitive.
With a gentle buzzing sound, the information window floating in front of everyone changed again.
Several three-dimensional galaxy interfaces appeared in front of everyone.
The system displays the Empire's fleet in green, while the enemy's fleet is displayed in red.
In a corner of the Extreme Star Field, everything turned red.
There were also a few places that were flashing, which were the areas where the fighting was taking place.
"The overall strength of the Norwalk Dynasty is not that strong for the Empire." Ryan said. "The only threat they have is the Star God fragments in their hands. Those fragments contain infinite power. Any contempt will come at a heavy price."
"To do this, we need to seize the Star God fragments as soon as possible. Based on the intelligence provided by our allies and some information we have obtained through our own exploration, we speculate that the most likely place for the Star God fragments is the crown world of the Norwalk Dynasty - Dehu 6."
"As long as the fragments of the Star God are taken away, the Norwalk Dynasty will never be able to turn the tables. It will be torn to pieces bit by bit by the Empire's troops and annihilated in the vast starry sky."
Having said this, Lai En paused briefly and glanced at everyone.
Many of the war leaders had thoughtful looks on their faces as they evaluated Ryan's words.
Ryan slid his fingers and adjusted the projection, focusing on Dehu 6 and the surrounding galaxies.
In order to show the current battlefield situation more clearly, Ryan also asked the projector to display the subspace using black and red dotted lines.
"The Necromancer's Exorcist Dead Zone has expanded greatly so far. The Dehu 6 system of the Norwalk Dynasty is also the most important node of the Exorcist Dead Zone. The subspace around it is almost dead. Psionic spells and auspicious instruments can no longer be used in these areas."
"Even psykers will be squeezed and hurt if they enter these places. If ordinary people enter, their souls will quickly wither due to lack of nourishment. The situation of the Primaris warriors is better, but it is very difficult for them to fight in the Dehu 6 system."
"To do this, we must remove the obelisk nodes and weaken the Exorcist Death Zone." Ryan said as he slid the projection to point out several star systems very close to the planet Dehu 6. "These star systems are the most important nodes. If they can be destroyed, the power of the Exorcist Death Zone will be reduced by at least 90%."
"The power of the Soul-Exorcising Dead Zone is beyond imagination. These planets are located in the core area of the Soul-Exorcising Dead Zone. If we want to capture them, the price we have to pay will be no different from an all-out attack." A vice admiral said.
Lai En looked at the other person, and when he finished speaking, he nodded.
"The problem you mentioned is a key one. If we use conventional combat, the price we have to pay is equivalent to that of a full-scale offensive. The ruler of the Norwalk Dynasty, the Crimson King, is not a fool. He will not sit idly by and watch our army destroy these important worlds. He will definitely mobilize troops to stop us. In the battle in the Dead Zone, the Undead have a greater advantage than humans. The longer we fight in the Dead Zone, the more disadvantageous it will be for the Empire. The souls cannot be nourished for a long time, which will make our soldiers fall into a state of fatigue and self-doubt, and even self-collapse in the end."
"A few carefully selected small troops may be able to work miracles and accomplish tasks that a large force cannot accomplish,"
Lai En looked at the node planets emitting red light and told them his plan.
"Wouldn't it be too risky for a small team?" Lothar asked. "The Primaris warriors are very powerful, but they will be overwhelmed by the metal wave, not to mention that they are also tasked with destroying the obelisk."
Lothar had experienced the battle of the Valf system.
Although they won the victory, they also realized how powerful the Undead were.
Several teams wanted to seize each other's important node planets, but that was too risky.
It's tantamount to sending those teams to die.
"They don't need to destroy the obelisk. They just need to deliver the weapons to the target. If they're lucky, they may not even need to start a war." With a wave of his hand, Ryan disappeared the projection of the star map, and an image of a metal pillar covered with electromagnetic patterns appeared in front of everyone.
"This is a geomagnetic reversal device. Once activated, it can reverse a planet's magnetic field within a few hours, intensifying geological activity, causing continental plates to disintegrate and reorganize, and even causing magma to erupt from the earth's core. With this device, it is enough to destroy the local obelisk."
The location of the obelisk is very clever.
They are all located at important nodes of the earth veins, so that the power of the obelisk can be maximized and the entire planet can be distorted into a huge anti-subspace force field.
The geomagnetic reverser will disrupt the local magnetic field and cause changes in the geomagnetic nodes.
The method of building obelisks was given to the Undead by the Star Gods.
The major dynasties mastered the technology to build obelisks, but it was not so easy for them to improve it.
The obelisk can form an anti-subspace force field and a subspace amplification force field.
At the beginning, Abaddon used the Obsidian Crown Ritual provided by the Word Bearers to reverse the Vigilance Star and reverse the anti-warp force field into a sub-warp amplification force field, using the principle of reversing the earth veins.
Ryan doesn't need any subspace amplification force field. He just needs to disrupt the original anti-subspace force field, weaken the soul-exorcising dead zone, and allow the imperial army to advance straight in.
Lai En's words caused everyone to whisper.
The whole plan is highly feasible.
After a while, people reached a consensus and expressed their support for Ryan's plan.
"Since you agree to this plan, let's get ready." Ryan crossed his arms, stared at the many military officers present, and then pointed to the projection of the Dehu 6 galaxy and said, "When the Exorcist Dead Zone begins to weaken, we must seize the opportunity like the hunters and strike directly at the enemy's heart."
... ... ...
... ... ... ... ... ...
The numerous suspended celestial-class warships in the Modo galaxy form a huge world community.
Each celestial-class battleship is a world, with a complete circulatory system that is sufficient to keep a species alive.
Unfortunately, this world is not a beautiful place.
They are all full of the style of war.
The towering spire has no flowerbed, only the cold muzzle of a gun.
There was no commercial activity in the intricately developed steel buildings, only soldiers with guns.
Jaghatai and Sanguinius set out from Terra together and arrived in Mordor.
They witnessed countless warships hovering in the void.
Cruisers, battleships, Celestial-class battleships, and so on, countless.
Guilliman seemed to want to fill the entire Mordor system with warships.
As they emerged from the Warp, both Sanguinius and Jaghatai were amazed at what they saw. It was astonishing.
The two of them stood in front of the observation window, and they opened it when the ship jumped out of the warp.
This is a very dangerous move, as the unclean warp energy has not yet completely dissipated.
The crew had to shield their eyes from the alien fire that erupted from the rift.
Only the two demigods could gaze upon the flowing flames without distraction and see the magnificent view of Mordor.
"He is the best among us." Chagatai said it again without hesitation, words he kept repeating in other places.
"Even during the Emperor's Great Crusade, it would have been difficult to muster such a force. Now, Guilliman has placed them here on a defensive mission. Should I condemn him for wasting his forces, or should I rather respect the power he wields?"
Sanguinius also had some sighs.
"Let's go, we all have our own missions to fulfill." Chagatai walked towards the deck. Sanguinius took one last look at the countless warships in the void, then turned around and followed his brothers.
His wings were folded behind his back, and the ornaments on them jingled.
The Mechanical Magus in charge of Mordor received the two Primarchs and brought them into the Mordor Alien Universe Tunnel.
The tunnel is so magnificent that a person standing next to the station seems extremely small.
The rivets on the pillars that hold up the tunnel are much larger than humans.
The tunnel no longer looks like a product of humans, but rather a creation of giants.
The trains running on it are also huge.
A train occupies multiple tracks.
The front of the car is more than 100 meters wide and 30 meters high.
This unimaginable behemoth is no longer a train, but a moving metal mountain.
The huge size of the train gave many of the workers who were about to be sent to work a sense of the usual distortion of scale.
The cab at the front of the car only occupies a corner of the huge front of the car.
It is large enough to accommodate dozens of members.
But compared to the unimaginably wide and flat front of the train, it still seems insignificant.
In addition to the cab, there are many turrets on the front of the vehicle, each of which is equipped with two large-caliber guns and various anti-infantry weapons.
Billowing steam spewed out from the exhaust ports on both sides, illuminated by the blue light reflected from the front of the car.
A plasma reactor is installed inside the front of the car.
Sanguinius and Chagatai were assigned a room on the top floor, and they were accompanied by several base leaders and several supervisors in charge of the supply station.
They briefed the two Primarchs on the current progress of the alien universe project.
The number of people involved in the alien universe project is extremely large.
These people need to consume a large amount of supplies, and these supplies are transported by train.
So far, tunnels are passable for warships, but the only area of the Empire currently connected, the Alien Universe Outpost No. 1, is a completely corrupted universe.
There is little point in sending warships to such a universe.
Purify the entire universe?
The empire's resources are not that abundant.
For this reason, it is the cheapest and most practical to use trains for transportation.
"The No. 2 and No. 3 space tunnel lines are under intensive preparation and are expected to be opened within five to ten years." A female supervisor reported: "Overall, the tunnel process is going smoothly."
"What threats did you encounter during the development process? Please introduce them in detail," Chagatai asked.
He came here on Guilliman's orders to protect these tunnels.
Guilliman hoped that he could form a fast-moving emergency force to deal with emergencies in the tunnels.
The alien universe tunnels are built deep in the subspace.
The surface of the subspace has already deviated from the conventional understanding of time and space.
The depths of the subspace are strange areas that are unimaginable to ordinary people, and all conventional human cognition is ineffective here.
No matter how perfect the technology for building tunnels is, it is difficult to avoid various emergencies.
"At present, the abnormal situations that occur in the tunnel have been divided into three levels by us: green level, orange level, and scarlet level. In the case of green level, casualties can be avoided by simply following the rules and order organized by the development department. Orange level requires the use of special forces, and scarlet level requires the intervention of the Sisters of Silence and the Grey Knights."
"So far, there have been a total of 21 Crimson-level incidents. Each time, it was basically because the workers did not follow the rules and were bewitched, bringing the lifeless into the supply stations along the way. After a Crimson-level incident occurs, the site will be closed and all the personnel involved will be wiped out. After cleaning, it will be open for continued use."
"The number of Orange-level incidents is much higher than that of Scarlet-level incidents, but the casualties are not as exaggerated as those of Scarlet-level incidents. The personnel involved generally only need psychological counseling or be transferred out of the tunnel for a period of time before they can return to normal."
Chagatai was silent for a moment before he raised his head and asked, "Are there any Scarlet-class sites that have not been completely purified and opened yet?"
"There are three." A supervisor who looked like a soldier stepped forward and said.
"Then I will set my destination at the nearest unopened station," Chagatai said.
Hearing this, the people in the car looked at each other.
"My lord, that's too dangerous. Each closed site needs to be purified by the Sisters of Silence and the Grey Knights, and then processed through special procedures before it can be used. If you go there rashly, you are likely to be attacked by monsters. Please be sure to integrate the team first, and then..."
Chagatai waved his hand to interrupt the other party. "Don't worry about me. I have traveled through these places and understand how powerful these monsters are. But I also need to know what kind of enemy I am dealing with and what loopholes there are in the tunnel's security work, so that I can form a mobile team specifically for this purpose."
"If you haven't even seen the enemy, then it's just paper talk and useless. Let me get off at the nearest abandoned site. I'll take someone to check out the situation."
Chagatai was very tough, and several supervisors looked at a loss for a moment.
They turned their gaze to Sanguinius standing aside.
Unfortunately, they were disappointed.
Saint-Jeres did not dissuade his brother from his thoughts, but instead smiled at the supervisors.
"Don't worry about him, he can take care of himself."
After hearing this, several supervisors had no choice but to let Chagatai do what he wanted and prepare an elite team for him.
All the personnel on the train are useful and are assigned to various areas for rotation.
It is already very good that we can allocate a small team to protect Chagatai.
If it weren't for his status as the Primarch, he wouldn't be able to enjoy such treatment.
After all, the rules and regulations of the Space Development Department are extremely strict, personnel deployment is very secretive, and once an order is given, it will not be changed to avoid being found loopholes by the devil.
Sanguinius also asked for some information about other universes.
Unfortunately, everyone in the carriage was responsible for tunnel matters.
They don't have the authority to know about things in the other universe.
Sanguinius did not get any useful information, so he could only suppress his restless heart and prepare to go to the Alien Universe Outpost No. 1.
According to his plan, Chagatai got off the bus early.
"Go forward for a distance and you will see the abandoned site. Lord Chagatai, please be careful. If you encounter an emergency, you can press the emergency button and the emergency forces will arrive to rescue you within five to thirty minutes." said the female supervisor.
"I understand." Chagatai nodded, turned around and got out of the car.
A well-equipped squad of Primaris warriors followed closely behind him.
The identity of this team can be seen from their emblem, they are affiliated with the Exorcist Regiment.
In the years before Guilliman's return, the Chapter had already learned the truth about the Warp and was determined to fight against the Daemons.
Of course, their actions were so extreme that they were once considered by the Inquisition to be potential betrayals.
One of the rituals for new recruits of the Exorcist Chapter is called "Controllable Demonic Possession."
Each monk will be possessed by weaker subspace creatures under strict supervision for twelve hours and then expelled.
The Exorcist Chapter uses this method to test the purity of new recruits and enhance some resistance to demons, just like a vaccination.
After the alien universe project was launched, the Exorcist Regiment was also selected as one of the regiments to guard the tunnel.
They were all shrouded in armor that was mainly crimson, with a bone-white double-headed eagle painted on the chest, and black patterns on the shoulder armor.
The armor was engraved with complicated spells, the weapons in his hands were also engraved with runes, and the force field arcs crackled.
They automatically formed a protective formation.
Warriors holding strong shields walked in front, behind, and on both sides of Chagatai.
In case of crisis, they would put up a strong shield to protect the Primarch.
Chagatai did not say much about this.
Before coming to Mordor, he received the latest enhancement.
To be honest, if there was anything that could threaten him, the warriors of the Exorcist Corps would not be able to resist it.
Chagatai said nothing about it and enjoyed their protection.
After all, if it were said out loud, it would undoubtedly be a disrespect to the dignity of these soldiers.
The road to the abandoned rest stop wasn’t very long.
With the speed of the Primarch and the Primaris warriors, they arrived in half an hour.
Smooth metal poles stood at the entrance of the rest stop, making crackling sounds.
The dancing arcs danced in the air, filling it with the smell of ozone.
The rest stop has been blocked by dense killing force fields and anti-subspace force fields to prevent the contaminated monsters from affecting the normal operation of the tunnel.
In addition to the column, there was also a troop garrison.
Equipped with various heavy weapons.
The arrival of Chagatai and others aroused their vigilance, and the huge gun muzzle was pointed directly at them.
Here, no matter how careful you are, you can't go wrong.
God knows if there is a demon who can master the ability to transform.
After the exchange of secret orders, Chagatai and his entourage gained temporary trust and were allowed to approach the rest stop.
The guards did not let down their guard and kept their guns pointed at them.
If there is any unusual movement, they will shoot immediately.
They are all demon-killing bullets targeting the soul.
Looking at the densely packed gun muzzles, Chagatai began to doubt whether he could escape unscathed from them.
"Why didn't you clear out the monsters inside?" Chagatai asked the warriors of the Exorcist Corps beside him.
"A large number of anti-subspace force field devices have been deployed around the fallen rest stops to weaken the demons. They will continue to weaken the demons until they are forced to retreat, or until they lose the nourishment of the subspace ether and starve to death. However, this process takes some time. If the demons are not weakened to a certain extent, it is very likely to cause casualties if the rest stop base is cleared rashly, and the demons may even escape into the tunnels and cause a new round of destruction. This is deep in the subspace, and the demons can use many more strange abilities than in the real universe. If there is any problem with the protection of the tunnel, the crisis will be catastrophic."
"For this reason, we will only take the most prudent approach, even if this approach will waste some time, it is worth waiting."
Chagatai nodded, this was a good point.
This should also be taken into consideration when forming a mobile force.
We should not only pursue speed, but also slowness.
Only by combining fast and slow can the greatest effect be achieved.
Walking to a force field cylinder about five or six meters high, Chagatai glanced in the direction of the rest stop.
Nothing seen.
All I could see was the closed rest stop.
There were some marks of being smashed and some bloodstains on it.
Apart from that, there is nothing else.
"Is there any way to see inside?" Chagatai asked.
After a moment, a guard handed him a data pad.
The data board is connected to the cameras inside, as well as some fist-sized observation robots that were sent in.
Chagatai checked the situation at the rest stop through the data board.
Everything inside was destroyed, with broken limbs and blasphemous words smeared in blood everywhere.
There are monsters roaming around in the staff dormitories, cafeteria, and security areas.
They make all sorts of piercing howling noises.
Fragments of uniforms belonging to workers can be seen among the bodies covered in tentacles and eyes.
Chagatai flipped through the video and asked the guard, "Can I go in?"
