Chapter 122 Full of the Taste of Time

After he finished speaking, Donton slowly let go of Bruce, then gently patted Bruce's shoulder.

“Believe me, as you learn more, you will understand why I need to do this.

I have long regarded Gotham as my own territory, and I don't want anyone in Gotham who has the ability to yell at me.

As for your roar, to me it sounds like nothing more than a whine of nostalgia for the past.

Like I said, you've never been my opponent, and I only consider you a friend, buddy.

Although you don't understand, I don't mind telling you that only Barbatos is my real enemy!"

At this point, Donton chuckled and shrugged, then threw his tattered windbreaker into the distance.

While rolling up his sleeves, he continued speaking to Bruce who was in deep thought.

“Don’t dwell on the name. At least that’s not something you can understand now. If Diana is a god, then all the gods are just Barbatos’ playthings.

But fortunately, even though he can play with 99.99% of the life in this universe, he is just a plaything in my eyes.

So, remember what you yelled at me today.

One day in the future, you will be thankful that I exist!"

After saying that, Donton turned around with a big laugh and walked towards the next numbered skyrail load-bearing pile.

Looking at Downton's back, Bruce took a deep breath and then asked Downton from a distance.

"Can I really trust you, Donton!"

"What does it matter whether you believe it or not? You are still far away. Come and stop me if you have the guts, haha!"

After Donton raised his middle finger towards Bruce, he immediately disappeared without a trace. The ground he left behind was left with huge broken marks after the violent shaking.

only……

Just when Bruce thought that Downton had left, Downton appeared beside him again.

Looking at Bruce who was slightly stunned, Donton put his arm around his shoulders and suddenly asked.

"I just remembered, I don't think I told you about my plan?

Even among my subordinates, only two or three people know my goal for the next few days, so how do you know it?"

After he finished speaking, Downton stared at Bruce with ill intent.

Facing Downton's gaze, Bruce was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned his head to the side.

"I monitored your conversation with Falcone, so I was the first person to know your plan, even earlier than your men..."

While explaining, Bruce wished he had an owl head, so that he wouldn't have to look at Downton's annoying face!!!
It's so fucking embarrassing, I'm going to get so embarrassed!!!
After listening to Bruce's explanation, Donton nodded in understanding, then patted Bruce on the back of his head.

pat!

Bruce's carbon fiber helmet suddenly began to crack.

Just as Bruce was feeling uncontrollably dizzy, Downton continued speaking to him unhappily.

"The first one, right? Monitoring, right? You're pretty proud of it, right?
I know that this damn bird city of Gotham doesn't have any secrets. If I guessed correctly, what did you do with my nuclear bomb? "

"Uh……"

Hearing this, Bruce shook his head with difficulty, and after finally regaining a little clarity, he answered dazedly.

"I changed the detonation code."

"What a fucking bastard!"

While cursing, Donton picked up Bruce's shoulders and tried to throw him aside.

But at this moment, a golden light rushed straight towards Donton and knocked him away!

Although Diana did not have the same hearing as Clark and Downton, the delay was enough for her to determine Downton's location.

She grabbed Donton's neck and pushed him away, while throwing Batman aside.

"Don't get in the way!"

After leaving a cold word, Diana pinched Downton's neck with her left hand and hit him in the face with her right hand.

While his nose was bleeding instantly, Downton gave Diana an apologetic smile.

"I'm so sorry, Diana, I still can't have fun playing with you today, and you are not my target today~"

As soon as the words fell, Diana felt something was wrong, and in the blink of an eye, the flames in the painting disappeared from her sight.

next moment……

boom! ! !
Donton had already appeared in front of the next load-bearing pile and smashed the dozens-meter-high load-bearing pile to pieces with one punch!

Hearing the loud explosion and watching the vibration of the sky track, Batman quickly got up from the ground after gritting his teeth briefly.

"I'm afraid there's really no one who can stop his goal. Fortunately, I prepared a rescue plan in advance to deal with the collapse of the skyrail!"

Having said that, Bruce quickly rushed to the side of the street and then tiptoed into the alley.

After a while.

Boom!!! The first version of the Batmobile, which was completely black but had a simple structure, roared out of the alley.

As Diana continued to look for Downton, Bruce spoke to Alfred and Lucius while driving the Batmobile.

"You all heard what Donton said, no matter what the name Barbatos means, his determination to destroy Sky Track is unshakable.

So, we must prepare for the worst and start our plan D!
Lucius, I have appointed you as the CEO of Wayne Group last night.

Now I need you to take over the Wayne Group, and through the group control the Gotham City Hall, and order it to issue a disaster warning notice to the entire city!

In addition, Lucius, you must contact all commercial hotel agencies in Metropolis within half an hour and ask them to prepare to receive the citizens of Gotham!
Alfred, as the steward of the Wayne family, you have the authority to intervene in Metropolitan City Hall on behalf of the Wayne family.

Everyone near the Skyrail line must evacuate to Metropolis as much as possible to avoid this disaster, and we must ensure that Metropolis is fully open to Gotham and maintain several emergency evacuation routes.

As for me, I will try my best to delay the time for Downton to destroy the last load-bearing pile, so that our rescue work can be completed before the skyrail collapses completely!

In addition, some projects in Plan F also need to be implemented.

Although we haven't completely taken control of the Gotham Police Department, we have to make those damn silverfish fully participate in the rescue work, even if it means exerting direct pressure!
Since the historian we were lucky enough to invite, our goddess Diana Prince, cannot stop any action of Downton.

Then we can only rely on ourselves to protect our city as much as possible!

Just like what I thought, I am the only one who can be trusted!"

After he finished speaking, Bruce hung up the phone and drove the Batmobile desperately to catch up with Downton and Diana.

At the same time, facing Diana's rapidly rushing sword, Donton raised his fist with a cold look.

puff!

After a muffled sound, Downton looked at his pierced arm with a wry smile, then shook his head at Diana.

"Is that a scare to you? Do you think I can really catch your sword?"

"It doesn't matter whether you can catch it or not. What matters is that I really want to beat you up!"

Diana responded, and then tried to pull her sword out of Donton's arm.

but……

When she exerted force suddenly, she found that Donton had grabbed the guard of her sword with three fingers.

At the moment when Diana was about to retract her sword, Donton suddenly raised his left fist and hit Diana's face hard!

boom! ! !
After the punch, accompanied by the sound of Downton's hand bones breaking, Diana's head tilted uncontrollably.

"Breathe...breathe!"

Diana took a deep breath, then kicked out fiercely, kicking Donton away.

During the backward flight, Downton disappeared in an instant, and when he appeared again, he was holding Diana in his arms.

"Mmm~"

After hitting Diana's neck hard, Donton shrugged his nose again.

"Tsk tsk, this flavor full of years is so fragrant~"

"Go to hell, go to hell!!!"

After a moment of daze, Diana struggled hard to break free from Downton's restraints, and then immediately chopped off Downton's head with a sword.

But when she blinked again, Donton had already appeared in front of the third load-bearing pile and punched it hard!
With the collapse of the third load-bearing pile, the track above finally couldn't hold on and collapsed.

Less than a thousand meters away from the collapse, a speeding skyrail train slammed on the brakes with all its might and came to a difficult stop with a series of sparks.

"Ahhh!"

"Help!"

"help me!"

"Mother!!!"

Hearing countless cries for help, the Skyrail quickly retreated.

Or in other words, the Skyrail has changed direction.

But so what? There are dozens of skytrains like this one on the line.

The total collapse of the Skyrail is imminent. Even if it runs as fast as it can, how long can it hide?

Thinking of this, Downton stood in front of the broken load-bearing piles and shouted to Diana from a distance.

"Take my advice, Diana. Instead of continuing to talk about love with me, you should start the rescue work as soon as possible.

After all, I am the fucking villain and you are the hero.

Just like it is natural for me to cause destruction, saving others is a hero’s first priority.
