Chapter 356 The True Meaning of Visible but Imageless Things

—Things that can be seen but have no form,
This is a mental skill that is completely different from what fighters in the DC universe pursue, perhaps because there is a natural cultural clash between Eastern and Western cultures.

In Chen En's view, these two can coexist, thereby achieving the ultimate mastery of the body.

In the world of Japanese manga, they call this "Ultra Instinct," and the best way to learn the state of "seeing nothingness" is to observe a head-on confrontation between two fighters who have reached this state.

However, very few fighters can reach this level.

But right now, there are two people right in front of Chen En.

Chen En leaned back slightly, listening intently to Zenigata Koichi's description of the true full picture of the "Caliostro Incident." He learned that it was yet another horrific tragedy caused by the Riddler.

He was silent.

Indeed, the Riddler shouldn't have been kicked out of Gotham City. He should have been psychologically reformed on the spot, or perhaps just humanely annihilated. So many things in this world have been ruined by these three words.

"Something that can be seen but has no form...?"

Chen En's gaze fell on Hawke and Goemon, who were locked in combat.
Having reached the master level in over a hundred martial arts, second only to a handful of top-tier combat specialists, his skills were not much inferior to Goemon and Hawke, and one could vaguely discern some of their techniques.

------

At this moment, the battle between Hawke and Goemon had reached its climax.
Goemon deliberately reduced the frequency of the battle to allow Hawke's mental state to return to its full potential before engaging in a fair and just sword fight with him—Goemon's training had nearly killed him, and Hawke had also suffered internal injuries from Chen En's attack.

Comparatively speaking, Goemon's situation was even worse.

With a stomp of his foot, Goemon sped past, only to be sent flying by Hawke's blow. Several knife marks appeared on Hawke's fingers.
In this situation, Goemon simply turned his back to Hawke, sheathed his sword, and gently placed his fingers on the scabbard.

—Have they given up resistance?

Inspector Zenigata was somewhat surprised.

He immediately drew his pistol from his waist, but before Inspector Zenigata could aim, Daisuke Jigen had already pressed the broken half of his gun against Inspector Zenigata's forehead and said sternly,

"This is a real battle, and it would be quite tactless to disturb it at this time."

"Inspector Zenigata, do you want Goemon to hate you for the rest of your life? Don't do anything, just watch. Even if Goemon dies because of this, it's his decision. We will avenge him, but we won't interfere with his final duel!"

Chen En narrowed his eyes slightly.

The next moment, Hawke slashed down with his sword, and Goemon also completed his iaido slash in that instant.

The axe immediately sliced ​​off the flesh on the outside of Goemon's right arm, but Goemon's Zantetsu sword completed an iaido slash in that instant, slicing off the axe along with Hawk's arm!
Hawke was horrified to see his arm slowly slide to the ground as he tried to raise it to deliver the final blow.

Fresh blood gushed out.

Hawke panicked. He immediately raised the axe in his other hand, leaned forward, and was about to kill Goemon. But Goemon turned his blade and sliced ​​through Hawke's neck without any restraint.

—Beheading.

The gushing blood instantly returned to reality.

Hawke stepped back in alarm, touching his head, while Goemon stood up and stared at Hawke.

When two masters of invisible beings clash...
Their energies intertwined, forcing them to clash in a battle of possibility. The experience of being killed in his consciousness was undeniably real to Hawke, to the point that his mental state shattered completely in that instant. Hawke took a step back, his remaining hand gripping the axe, but slowly releasing it.

The next moment, due to excessive blood loss from his arm, Hawke finally couldn't hold on any longer, and his body slowly fell backward. He had already been seriously injured and unconscious. Goemon's lips twitched, as if pain had also surfaced at this moment.

Chen En had just witnessed the end of the real sword fight.
He witnessed it twice: once when Goemon killed Hawkemon, and another time when Hawke retreated and fell down—he even wondered if he was hallucinating.

He specifically used the memory palace technique taught to him by Sherlock Holmes to retrieve and recall the memory he had just experienced.

Ultimately, Chen En came to the conclusion—

He wasn't mistaken; it did happen twice. Although it only happened once in the real world, there seemed to be another battle of consciousness in the mental realm that didn't count towards real time.

It seems that the waters of this world are not as shallow as he imagined.

The instant Goemon and Hawkemon's duel concluded, Lupin III suddenly threw a smoke bomb, which instantly enveloped the surroundings. Lupin III then picked up Goemon and said with a grin,
"Hey, Bat Brother, Uncle Zenigata, see you next time!"

"I'll come to Tokyo to visit you guys again if I have the chance!"

The next moment, someone spoke softly beside him.

"No need for next time, this time is fine."

Lupin III: ?
What? Someone can actually smoke better than me?

------

When the smoke cleared, only Inspector Zenigata and the badly injured Hawke lying on the ground remained at the scene.

Upon seeing this, Inspector Zenigata was furious.

He said loudly,
"That wretched Lupin III!"

"Next time, I, Zenigata Yuki, will definitely not let you escape!"

As Inspector Zenigata spoke, he still went over to check on Hawke's condition.

Then honestly call the police and wait for the ambulance to come and rescue you.

—While capturing Lupin III is important, capturing Hawke is just as important!
However, Inspector Zenigata was completely unaware of this.

There were other people lying in ambush in this area.

The FBI agents lowered their binoculars, looked at each other, and exchanged a glance.
Then, everyone turned to look at James Black, who was at the head of the group, and asked,
"Boss, how do I write the report?"

"Batman is a superhuman who can summon dump trucks out of thin air, then he defeated the invincible Hawk, and then Goemon suddenly appeared out of nowhere to steal his kill, and they met again and buried the hatchet with a smile?"

James Blake: ?
No, even if you dare to write this and I dare to submit it, would headquarters dare to say that this is a true report?
James's face darkened.
It took him a long time to finally manage to utter a single sentence.
"Write it like this: Makoto Kyogoku was seriously injured by Hawke, Batman saved Makoto Kyogoku, and then Goemon severely injured Hawke."

"As for the details? Let the higher-ups fill in the blanks!"

　Currently, we still owe: 667 + 148 - 8 = 807 chapters!
　　I'm updating late today because I'm having some writer's block.
　　Ugh
