Chapter 219 The Mechanical Superman Suddenly Finds Himself as Batman

When Amanda Waller walked into the conference room, she found that it wasn't filled with the radical militants in the military whose minds were consumed by nothing but threats and attacks, as she had imagined.

She immediately realized that this might be a private conversation.

Amanda immediately slowed down to give herself more time to observe the situation on the field.

Seated at the head of the table is the newly elected President, His Excellency William Clinton. President Wilson stepped down several months ago, having handled the Brainiac invasion of Earth perfectly during his term, earning widespread praise from the public, before retiring with honor.

Sitting to his right was an old acquaintance, Colonel Steve Trevor, Wonder Woman's personal contact and a superhuman research expert; it would be strange if he weren't here.

The person sitting on the left is a bit special.

General Calvin Swanwick.

Amanda quickly reviewed the man's resume in her mind but found nothing special about him; he was no different from other generals in the military.

But his mere presence here was enough to prove his special status. Amanda pondered this deeply, but still couldn't figure out why. So he could only put the question aside and silently memorize the name General Swanwick.

Huh? Why is the other person staring so intently at my face, with an indescribable, somewhat resentful expression?

Amanda touched her face somewhat awkwardly.

Is there something on her face? She had no prior connection with him.

The elite agent, who looked like a middle-aged black woman, didn't have time to think about where she had crossed paths with a powerful general, but her attention was quickly drawn to the president.

"Please have a seat, Ms. Waller," came Lord Clinton's voice, which was not tense and even sounded somewhat relaxed.

"Ms. Waller, you've spent some time with our friend, Robot Superman, so give us your feedback. Of course, our old friend Wonder Woman also needs our evaluation..."

He bowed slightly to Steve Trevor: "Sorry, it's just a normal process for everyone to evaluate Wonder Woman, it's not directed at your friend."

The other party had already given them plenty of face, so Steve gave a slight bow and said, "It's nothing, Your Excellency."

Upon hearing the question, Amanda carefully considered her answer.

Previously, she would have directly answered, "Mechanical Superman is basically no problem, much more useful than Wonder Woman." But those "reasonings" Batman gave her before...

Never mind, didn't Batman say he has the ability to prove it?

Waller began, "Regarding the mechanical superhero, just before I arrived..."

He recounted what happened with Batman, then said, "Batman gave me a Bat-Mirror, claiming it could reflect the situation. Unsure if it was safe, I didn't bring him into the meeting room."

Just then, he heard the president say, as the other man took out a remote control from under the table and pressed a button. The wall next to him then retracted, revealing an interrogation room: "Perfect for placing Batman's mirror here."

Then the wall in front of them also retracted and disappeared with a mechanical sound, replaced by a screen as huge as a wall.

"It corresponds perfectly to our camera lens."

Steve turned his head, and at that moment, the scene that appeared on the camera showed Wonder Woman standing alone between the two opposing sides.

……

"I...I'm currently affected by Kryptonite." The mechanical superhero feigned weakness and knelt on the ground.

He looked up at Wonder Woman.

"Diana Prince! The woman you're with is a target of the government's arrest."

Chen Tao wanted to say something, but Wonder Woman's arm was placed in front of him.

"Let him speak."

So Chen Tao stopped talking and walked over to the side, silently carrying back Super Dog Little Krypton, who had been unfortunately affected by the Kryptonite rain and turned into a real dead dog with a crooked mouth and eyes, under his arm.

"Hiccup, woof!"

Ignoring the dog's grumbling, Chen Tao whispered to Wonder Woman, who stood between him and the mechanical superhero, "If you don't intend to participate, then actually..."

But he realized halfway through his sentence that whatever he said would only stir up trouble, so he immediately shut up.

For a long time, Wonder Woman has been regarded by the government as a trump card for dealing with extraordinary events. However, the current situation, in which Wonder Woman is now facing off against the government, is something that even Chen Tao cannot say whether it was premeditated or a twist of fate.

But what he knew for sure was that he hadn't administered the hypnotic drug that would give Wonder Woman complete control beforehand, as he had done in the past, or prepared any nanobots that would cause Wonder Woman to hallucinate and fight with the air.

In other words, if Wonder Woman decides...

"I suspect Batman must have given you a lot of evidence about the government's human experimentation, and then tried to prove to you that once the government got hold of this girl, they would dismember her and do something so horrific that even Hollywood blockbusters wouldn't do."

"It's a mechanical superhero," said the robot superhero.

He tapped his head with his metal fingers, making a soft, clanging sound: "But if he tells you that, it's definitely an exaggeration."

He pointed at Chen Tao, who remained silent: "He's manipulating you, Wonder Woman, exploiting your overflowing compassion to set you up in a trap—"

Pooh!

Chen Tao spat on the ground, then made a face at the other person, using this action to distract them. He then quietly turned a small part of his body into a mechanical state.

Strangely, he sensed that the communicator he had left for Shazam was accessing his location and moving toward him at varying speeds, which was certainly not a good sign at this critical juncture.

To conceal his distraction in trying to locate Shazam, he pretended to be rummaging through his pocket, drawing the attention of the mechanical superhero and causing him to adopt a slightly wary posture. Then, he pulled out his middle finger gesture and gave it to him.

Robot Superman: "..."

He composed himself, completely abandoning any further attention from Batman. He turned his attention more towards Wonder Woman…

Hiss, I can still feel the illusion of Batman's middle finger flashing on the other person's face.

"He manipulated you by setting a precondition that the government would persecute and kill this girl, making you work for him and oppose the most powerful regime in human history."

The mechanical superhero said, "And all of this, without a doubt, is a lie."

He pointed a passionate finger at Batman: "And he's been plotting this for so long, all for—"

Then the mechanical superhero saw Chen Tao turn his head into a car computer, with streams of data flowing across the screen.

The tiny person holding such a large computer head seemed even more "mechanical" to the Mechanical Superman.

Chen Tao, on the other hand, was almost speechless. Billy's counter-tracking ability was practically zero, and he had almost no escape skills either. No matter what he did, Black Adam was about to catch up with him.

And Chen Tao, the nanny who is thousands of miles away, is actually responsible for hacking into traffic lights to help Billy escape, remotely teaching him how to disguise himself, and how to mislead Black Adam's pursuit by using flight routes...

Otherwise, given Billy's abilities, he wouldn't have run far before Black Adam caught him, and then it would have been a scene of "Listen to me, let me see (the power of lightning)" "Black Adam, no!" followed by a punch to the face.

Chen Tao sighed. He was busy too.

"..." The fervent emotions of the mechanical superhero's speech were interrupted once again. He took a deep breath, heaven knows why a half-robot would exhale.

He continued, "Contrary to what Batman said, the government will not only not do something like an autopsy, but will also focus on training her. After all, since 'that person' disappeared, the government urgently needs a powerful enough hero."

Chen Tao diverted some of his attention to the mechanical superman.

In every version, whether in comics or animation, the cyborg has impersonated the injured Superman and returned to life. However, because of his changes, Superman is no longer publicly declared dead, so the cyborg is not foolish enough to impersonate him.

"She will become a symbol of America, and the government will tailor a hero's path for her. I acknowledge that governments may have their darker aspects, which is unavoidable for any regime in the world. And this girl can become a light that illuminates those darkness."

At this point, the mechanical superhero paused slightly, then answered a phone call.

"Wonder Woman, your old partner Colonel Steve has something to say to you."

Half of the mechanical superhero's body turned into a machine, projecting the shadow of Colonel Steve.

"Diana! The government does have a plan to properly settle this Superwoman, and it will cost far more than they say."

He said with utmost sincerity:

"I swear on my honor that as long as I live, the human experimentation on innocent girls will never happen again. The government can no longer accept Batman brainwashing and binding a new Kryptonian, and all previous human experimentation projects have been stopped and have disappeared."

Diana, please do me a favor: don't let Batman control another Kryptonian. It's triggering too many people's sensitive nerves. Everything I've done is for the balance of power among nations.

The mechanical superhero lowered his eyes.

Everything that needed to be said had been said, and even Colonel Steve Trevor had been released. When the mechanical superhero saw Wonder Woman standing between the two groups, his body trembled slightly, as if he was making an extremely difficult decision.

This is good.

The mechanical superhero grinned maliciously from a corner unseen by others.

Regardless of which side Wonder Woman chooses, it proves that she is bound to break with the other side. When it comes to a dispute over core interests, no one will back down, and whatever happens is an outcome she desires.

"Do you ever feel like you're separated from your family?" Then the robot superhero heard the other person's voice.

"When I was little, I was playing on the beach and I was accidentally swept into a coral reef by the rising tide."

"I clung to the coral reef, waiting fearfully for three or four hours, until my mother found me. I thought she would scold me for wandering around on the beach, but she just took me home."

"What are you trying to say, Wonder Woman?"

"Home is where you are with your family," Wonder Woman said. "Whatever you say, child..."

In that instant, a maternal glow radiated from the 5000-year-old girl's face—

Okay, the maternal instincts faltered slightly when she saw the Super Girl who had turned green and fainted.

"Children always want to be reunited with their families," Wonder Woman said. "He'll reunite with his cousin and his dog. I know about Superman and his family; that's what justice is all about."

"Diana..." Colonel Steve Treve's voice came from the other end of the communication channel: "I admit that, but the justice you uphold tells you—"

With a clang, Wonder Woman drew her sword and pointed it at the robotic superhero without hesitation.

"I always uphold true justice, not any organization or individual." Steve was immediately followed by Wonder Woman's voice: "I'm sorry, Steve. It's not that I don't trust you, but a young girl should go back to her real family, not be surrounded by a bunch of politicians."

The atmosphere froze for a moment. In the past, when Colonel Trevor and Wonder Woman had a disagreement, it usually ended with one of them backing down. But on this core issue, they could no longer compromise as they had before.

"Do you know what this means, Diana?" Steve said in a low voice, "You're going directly against the government's decision. You've never done anything like this before."

Why?

Wonder Woman didn't say "I'm sorry" again, but Steve knew she had made up her mind.

"Does it really have to come to this?" he asked.

Then?

Then Steve received a determined look from Wonder Woman.

The mechanical superhero watched coldly from the sidelines.

Wonder Woman ultimately chose to help Batman and break with the government. Although this achieved his goal, it also meant that he would have to face two enemies: Batman and Wonder Woman.

Please don't misunderstand, it's not that he lacks confidence in taking on two opponents to win back Supergirl, but the problem is that he won't forget why he came here while he's undercover.

He wouldn't really consider himself a loyal lackey of the government.

Acquiring Supergirl is the government's objective and interest, not his. And his objective is quite simple...

Try to kill Batman!

At the very least, he had already made preparations to make Batman and the government become irreconcilable enemies, and then use the government's power.

But first, his foreign aid, Steppenwolves, should also make their appearance.

He put one hand behind his back, and the machine on his arm quietly began to operate.

Soon, in a few dozen seconds, the Wild Wolf will descend upon the battlefield with a large number of Parademons, and then he will coordinate with them from within and without...

Huh?

The mechanical superhero suddenly turned his head with some alertness. Some mist that didn't seem to rise normally suddenly condensed in the forest, and the mechanical superhero found that his X-ray vision couldn't see through it.

"Is it lead?" He immediately realized he was being attacked, and then lunged at Batman and Wonder Woman in front of him. But he saw Batman throw a lead-containing smoke bomb to the ground. The smoke from the smoke bomb mixed with mist, and soon, the mechanical superman looked around blankly, unable to find anyone.

"It's not a big problem, it ......"

The mechanical superhero pulled out his device. Trying to shake him off and escape at such close range is incredibly naive. I just need to…

Huh?

The mechanical superhero froze again, staring blankly at the bat-like arm armor on his arm, then looking down his arm to his chest where there was a Batman logo. He could hardly believe his eyes.

Huh, when?

???

The next second, the robotic superhero heard the booming sound of a portal opening: "Earth—welcome your nightmares, your destiny, and—Batman!"

The mechanical superhero silently stared at the logo on his chest, listening to Steppenwolf's furious roar to the sky.

"I'll patiently await your death!"
