American comic book: God among men, Saiyan-Kryptonian hybrid

Chapter 174 Bulma's True Hideout! The Quantum Realm!

At the Temple of Athena, BoBo, who had just completed a massive project called the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, was so exhausted that he collapsed on the ground, feeling utterly hopeless. He felt like he had the worst luck imaginable, having to deal with Batman.

Having served as a servant of the gods for so many years, he thought that cooking for Carrot Al was already an exhausting task, but now he realized that building houses for Batman was even more so!
Superman is so unfair! Why did he bring the bats here?
Piccolo sighed deeply. He remembered that Carrot Al had once jokingly asked him a question: what would Batman do if he were locked in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?
Now he knows the answer!
"My Lord God, why would anyone want to build a city in there? And why would they lay hundreds of traps there???"

"You should be glad that he has only built a huge maze and a few bat caves so far."

After meeting Batman, Celestial Beetle finally understood why Gotham was known as the darkest place in the universe.

He has only one thought in mind now: to retire, to retire as soon as possible!
Stay as far away from these people as possible!

-

"So, you planned all of this?"

"Dr. Groh was also locked up in such a space by you?"

If typing the word "shock" on the public screen could create a face, then that face would definitely be the one filled with astonishment on number 18 at this moment.

This guy in front of me doesn't have much fighting power, but he's got a million tricks up his sleeve!
"The other room leads to the Vortex Nebula, 5,000 light-years away. If he couldn't adapt to the -272°C temperature, his vital signs should have stopped by now."

Batman's utterly calm words made Number 18's sweaty palms tremble involuntarily, and his narrowed pupils revealed a shocked and bewildered expression:
"What?! You killed Dr. Groh???"

Upon hearing this, Agent 17, who had just been exposed to Gotham's narcotics, instantly became excited: "Hahaha! This is truly great news!"

"That shameless, despicable old bastard is finally dead!"

"Alright, you two, that's enough of a farce for today."

Amidst the two men's speculative gazes regarding mental illness, Batman narrowed his eyes disapprovingly:

"The time flow here is 365 times that outside, so we have plenty of time. Let's start by talking about the location of your organization's base."

Number 17 observed Bruce with great interest, feeling both curious and somewhat admiring of his actions.
"Really? You mean that a year in this space only consumes one day outside? That sounds like a science fiction plot, quite interesting."

"But you, you're clearly a normal human being, yet you seem even less human than us?"

"Since you killed Dr. Gro, I can answer your question. We've been kept inactive and undergoing modifications in hibernation pods, so we don't know much."

Batman silently memorized every word 17 said, his expressionless face making it impossible to read his thoughts. He coldly replied, "Say what you know."

"Ugh"

Number 17 and Number 18 exchanged a glance, both of them seeing a hint of embarrassment in each other's eyes. Despite being powerful, they now felt like prisoners in front of a mere mortal.

No, they are prisoners now!

But what can be done now that things have come to this?

The pure white world around you can be oppressive to anyone. When the whole world is just this one color, and you are in it, no one can help but feel disturbed.

In order to get out as soon as possible, Number 17 and Number 18 also briefly explained to Bruce their experience of being transformed into androids.

"So, you have other androids there?"

After hearing the gist of the story and learning the exact location of the Red Ribbon Army's base from the two men, Batman felt a headache coming on.

Why are there so many outrageous gadgets these days?

Yes, there are still some.

Number 17 nodded in reply. Compared to Number 18, who thought it best to stay away from this crazy guy, Number 17 seemed to have a friendly feeling towards Bruce. Perhaps it was because of that wisp of fear and poison gas earlier that he had also been tainted with the aura of a Gothamite. He chatted with him casually:
"I have a question I'm also curious about, may I ask you?"

"Huh?" "Where exactly did you hide Carrot El's family?"

Why can't we find it?

Number 17 couldn't hide his doubts. Logically speaking, they and Dr. Gro had turned the place upside down, and the radar had scanned almost every place, but they still couldn't find Bulma and the others.

Could it be that Dr. Gro and his team made a mistake in their speculation?
Upon hearing this, Number 18 also looked over, as she was also very curious about this question.

Seeing this, Batman's gaze lingered on the two of them for a moment, then he murmured something meaningful:
"A place you will never find, a place that is so close yet beyond the reach of the universe's rules."

"What is that place?"

-

The quantum realm is a bizarre and wondrous world, sometimes vibrant with color, sometimes utterly blank.
This place is quiet and undisturbed by the universe, so quiet that it feels like it has been abandoned by time.

This is a place of unparalleled exile, or perhaps a place where fate can be reversed.

"Damn it, that stinky bat was careless!!"

Meanwhile, from a tiny house so small it was imperceptible to the world, came Bulma's voice, her veins bulging with rage.

In the Quantum Realm, the Kents, Kara El, Dr. Pym, Hope, the newly joined Ant-Man Scott, and Dr. Hank Pym's wife, the original Wasp Janet Dane, are all gathered here.

Carrot El's parting words did indeed serve as a reminder to Batman and Iron Man.

Especially Batman, whose countless experiences fighting crime in the dark taught Bruce Wayne a lesson from a very young age.

Protecting a good person is far more difficult than dealing with a bad one.

Bruce, who understood this principle, was not entirely confident that he could protect Bulma and the others amidst the layers of danger.

But he can definitely hide them somewhere no one can find them!
The unique laws of the quantum realm meant that even Thanos' snap could not affect Bulma and the others.

In addition, Hank Pym himself had plans to find his wife, and after studying the confirmation of many experiments, he also confirmed that the original Wasp, who had been trapped in the quantum realm, was indeed still alive.

Ultimately, as planned, they had already slipped into the quantum realm using Pym particles when the battle in New York first began to unfold.

"What do you mean?"

Is something wrong?

Seeing that Bulma's expression was somewhat unpleasant, Dr. Pym hurriedly stepped forward to ask what was wrong. After a short separation, he had finally reached the climax of this twilight romance and was afraid that something might go wrong.

Bulma sat at the control panel, her hands constantly combining calculation data generated from 3D projections. Her lower abdomen was now slightly protruding, and she let out a heavy sigh.
"time!"

"Bruce ignored time in the quantum realm!"

"Time here is not synchronized with the outside. Even if we stay here for a year, only an hour will have passed outside."

With the help of the original Wasp, Bulma quickly calculated the exact proportion of time flow, but it was precisely this absurd proportion that made her even more desperate, and she said to everyone:

"We have to get out of here, otherwise, before they've even finished fighting outside, the baby in my belly will already be a grown man!!!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, and for some reason, a magical image appeared in their minds at the same time.

When Carrot El returned to Earth triumphantly, he found an elderly woman leading a child who looked even older than him, standing bewildered and disoriented in the wind.

"Hahahaha! Hahaha!"
