And the one who started all of this!
Lin Tian was very satisfied with the "sensational" effect he had created!
He's deliberately using this "lookalike" tactic to stir up trouble and create chaos!
This will make everyone speculate and fearful about his identity and purpose!
He put his arm around the slightly nervous DCEU Diana beside him!
With a charming smile on her face, she moved confidently through the crowd!
He chatted and laughed with the celebrities and politicians who took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him!
Every now and then! And "unintentionally"! Their eyes would meet in mid-air!
His eyes were filled with amusement and...provocation!
As if to say:
See? This is my power! My charm!
The goddess you all admire is just one of my many collectibles!
What can you do to me?
Louise and Bruce felt Lin Tian's provocative gaze!
My heart was filled with shock and anger! Yet, I was helpless!
They know!
This man! He's far more terrifying than they imagined! Even more…evil!!!
We must find a way to deal with him as soon as possible!!!
A charity dinner that was supposed to be filled with insincere pleasantries and mutual flattery!
Because of Lin Tian and the goddess he brought who looks just like him!
It has completely turned into a place filled with suspicion, probing, and silent, turbulent undercurrents!
And Lin Tian!
It's like a behind-the-scenes player controlling all the puppet strings!
Enjoy this show that he directed himself!
It's full of absurdity and excitement!
"A grand show!"
After the charity gala in the metropolis, which was full of "surprises" and "undercurrents," Lin Tian did not leave the sunny "city of tomorrow" immediately.
He needed some time to observe the reactions of all parties, especially Superman Clark Kent, who had been traumatized by his punch, and the Dark Knight Bruce Wayne, who seemed to have developed a strong interest in him.
He had Zero continue to monitor the entire metropolis from all angles, collecting all intelligence related to him.
Sure enough, as he expected.
After that crushing defeat, Superman seems to have truly fallen into some kind of slump? He's made far fewer public appearances, spending most of his time in his solitary fortress in the Arctic, seemingly...reflecting on life? Or...secretly training?
Upon returning to Gotham City, Bruce Wayne immediately began an even more insane and obsessive investigation and preparation!
He mobilized all of Wayne Group's resources and technological capabilities in an attempt to analyze the energy characteristics of Lin Tian and the women around him, and to find their weaknesses!
He even began secretly contacting some "special individuals" hidden around the world—perhaps ancient users of magic? Perhaps secret organizations with special technology? Or even some morally ambiguous anti-heroes?
It seems he really intends to form a "secret alliance" capable of countering Lin Tian?!
"Interesting." Lin Tian looked at the intelligence report from "Zero" and a cold smile appeared on his lips. "It seems that this Dark Knight is really not giving up."
However, Lin Tian didn't care about this.
In his view, Bruce Wayne's so-called "wisdom" and "scheming" were utterly insignificant in the face of absolute power and a higher level of calculation.
His so-called "secret weapons" and "contingency plans" are as transparent as can be in the face of "zero" comprehensive surveillance and the spiritual insight of the Mind Gem.
He wants to play?
Lin Tian didn't mind playing along with him.
We could even... create a little "surprise" for him?
Lin Tian turned his gaze to the holographic screen, to the city of Gothic architecture, shrouded in darkness and sin year-round—Gotham!
“Gotham City…” A keen interest flashed in Lin Tian’s eyes. “Batman’s lair? The Joker’s headquarters? And… so many 'charming' female characters?”
Compared to the "sunshine" and "order" of the metropolis, Lin Tian seemed more interested in Gotham, a place full of chaos, darkness, and all sorts of twisted human nature.
Perhaps it's because... he also has the blood of a "demon king" flowing in his veins?
"It's time to pay a visit to this 'Dark Knight'," Lin Tian decided. "I want to see just how capable this hero, who fought against gods with a mortal body, really is."
"By the way..." His gaze fell on several extremely alluring photos of women on the screen—the sexy and seductive Catwoman Selena, the intelligent and dangerous Poison Ivy Pamela, the wildly cute Harley Quinn, and the dashing Batgirl Barbara...
"It's time to 'collect' some of Gotham City's enchanting 'night flowers'."
Lin Tian licked his lips, his eyes filled with undisguised possessiveness.
He immediately ordered Zero to prepare for the trip to Gotham City.
This time, he didn't plan to bring too many people.
After all, Gotham City is a melting pot of all sorts of people, with many powerful individuals, and too many people would only attract unnecessary attention.
He decided to bring only the two queens who were most skilled in stealth, assassination, and "seduction"—Gwen and Mystra.
With the two of them by your side, they will be an excellent help in dealing with Batman's various high-tech traps and in winning over the beautiful women of Gotham City with their diverse personalities!
As for Wanda and Qin, they will remain in the shuttle on standby for the time being, responsible for providing remote support and responding to emergencies.
After explaining everything.
Lin Tian, along with Gwen and Mistra, like three phantoms blending into the darkness, silently descended upon Gotham, the city that never sleeps, a place filled with sin and temptation!
As soon as Lin Tian set foot on Gotham City soil, he clearly felt that the air was filled with an atmosphere completely different from other cities.
Oppressive, cold, chaotic, insane…
Negative emotions and dark energy, like thick ink, enveloped every corner of the city.
But it is precisely in this extreme darkness that "light," like Batman, is born—unyielding and never giving up.
And what about "evil" like the Joker, pure and without any reason?
"What an... interesting place." Lin Tian's lips curled into a wicked smile, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
He felt like he...might be starting to like this city?
"Master, where are we going now?" Gwen asked curiously, a cold light flashing in her huge white eye sockets. She could sense that many powerful "prey" were lurking in this city, making the symbiote within her somewhat restless.
"Of course, we should go and pay a visit to the owner of this place first." Lin Tian smiled and looked at the Wayne Tower in the distance, which stood atop the city like a dark knight's cloak.
He wanted to first present that self-righteous "Dark Knight" with a "gift".
A "surprise" he will never forget!
Gotham City's nights are quite different from the dazzling lights of Metropolis.
It's more like a colossal beast crouching in the darkness, cold, oppressive, and filled with unspeakable danger and allure. Thick clouds hang over the city year-round, obscuring the moonlight and stars; only the cold neon lights cast dappled, eerie, and distorted shadows on the wet streets.
The air was filled with a unique odor, a mixture of rainwater, garbage, industrial fumes, and a faint smell of blood. The towering Gothic buildings, like silent gargoyles, coldly looked down upon the labyrinthine streets and alleys below with their spires and gargoyles.
·····Requesting flowers·········
This is a breeding ground for evil, a hotbed of madness.
In every dark corner lurks a deadly danger. Robbery, murder, kidnapping... are commonplace here. Those bizarrely dressed supervillains with twisted minds and terrifying abilities are like the city's nightmares, popping out from time to time to stage a series of chaotic and destructive madness.
The Joker's maniacal laughter, the Penguin's sarcastic remarks, the Riddler's cryptic pronouncements, and Two-Face's fickle nature... together compose the dark yet captivating symphony of Gotham City.
Of course, where there is darkness, there is also light.
A black, bat-like figure has been a constant presence on the rooftops and in the shadows of Gotham City for years, battling endless evil and madness with a mortal body. He is the Dark Knight of Gotham City, Batman. He is the city's last hope, and the inescapable fear in the hearts of all criminals.
However, tonight, this already turbulent city of sin welcomes a group of even more mysterious and dangerous "guests".
Lin Tian, accompanied by his two equally extraordinary "female companions"—Gwen and Mistra—walked silently through the slippery, cold streets of Gotham City, like three ghosts disappearing into the darkness.
They did not deliberately conceal their whereabouts, nor did they release any powerful energy fluctuations.
But their unique aura, so out of place in this city, and their confident and controlling demeanor, like that of apex predators, instantly attracted the attention of the city's lurking, highly perceptive "sharks," like blood thrown into muddy waters.
.................
In a run-down bar, Oswald Copperfield, the Penguin, who was numbing his senses with alcohol, immediately learned of the arrival of the three mysterious Easterners through his network of informants scattered throughout the city. A shrewd and greedy glint flashed in his small, alcohol-blurred eyes. "A new fat sheep? Or a dragon crossing the river?" he muttered to himself, beginning to calculate how to extract benefits from these mysterious figures.
Deep within the shadowy cells of Arkham Asylum, a man dressed in a purple suit, his face painted with exaggerated makeup, seemed to sense this unusual atmosphere through some kind of insane intuition. He grinned, his scar-like lips spreading wide, and let out a chilling chuckle: "Hehehe... Interesting... Very interesting... A new toy... Delivered to my door..."
In the brightly lit office of the Gotham City Police Department, the venerable Chief James Gordon frowned as he looked at the report from his subordinates about three unidentified, strangely aloof Asian men appearing in the city. A sense of foreboding washed over him. His intuition told him these three were definitely not good people. Gotham City was likely to be in turmoil again tonight.
Meanwhile, in his top-floor office at Wayne Tower, one of the city's tallest buildings, Bruce Wayne stared at the blurry images of Lin Tian, Gwen, and Mistra captured by hidden cameras on his Batcomputer screen. His face was terrifyingly grim.
They actually came to Gotham!!!
And judging from their appearance, it seems... they're not here for "tourism"?!
What exactly are they trying to do?!
Were they here for me? Or for something else in Gotham City?
Bruce felt as if an invisible hand was squeezing his heart!
He knew that an unprecedented and massive storm was about to sweep through this already disaster-prone city!
And he, the Dark Knight of Gotham City, is about to face the most powerful and unpredictable opponent of his life!
Lin Tian naturally felt the spying and hostility from every corner of the city.
He could even clearly "hear" the Penguin's greedy whispers, "smell" the Joker's frenzied and chaotic aura, and feel Batman's almost tangible, solemn gaze.
He simply responded with a smile full of amusement and disdain.
Very good.
It seems the "local forces" of Gotham City have taken notice of this "outsider."
Then 6
The game should officially begin now. 7
He stopped and looked up at the Wayne Tower, which stood atop the city like a dark knight's cloak.
A wicked smile curved his lips.
“Let’s go,” he said to Gwen and Mistra beside him, his tone relaxed and casual, as if they were going to a relaxed date rather than venturing into a dangerous place.
"Let's go...pay a visit to the owner here."
"Send him one."
"Unforgettable"
"A small gift to mark our meeting."
130 Purple Gold Gwen: Too weak, mortal! The hunt in the dark, the knight's struggle!
Wayne Manor, an ancient manor located on the outskirts of Gotham City, is magnificent and solemn on the outside, but hides countless secrets inside. Tonight, it welcomes a group of "uninvited" guests.
Lin Tian, Gwen, and Mistra, like ghosts blending into the darkness, easily broke through the manor's outer perimeter security system, which was touted as the most advanced in all of Gotham and consisted of infrared, pressure sensors, and microwave detectors.
They slipped silently into the main building of the manor without alerting any guards.
"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder he's Gotham's richest man." Lin Tian looked around at the luxurious decorations, priceless works of art, and the decadent aura of old nobility that permeated the air, and a playful smile appeared on his face. "This pomp and circumstance is much more classy than that nouveau riche Stark."
“Master, according to the scan results,” Mistra reported respectfully, “the manor’s internal defense system has been completely taken over by ‘Zero.’ Bruce Wayne is currently in a secret base on the second basement level. The base entrance is located behind the fireplace in the study.”
"Oh? The Bat Cave?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes. "Perfect, I'd also like to visit this Dark Knight's 'toy collection room'."
“Gwen, Mistra,” Lin Tian instructed, “you two, go upstairs and give that loyal old butler a little ‘surprise.’ Remember, don’t hurt him, just let him… sleep for a while.”
He was referring to Alfred Pennyworth, the loyal butler who was like a father to Bruce. Lin Tian harbored no ill will towards him and had no intention of harming him.
"Yes, Master!" Gwen and Mystra immediately obeyed, their figures disappearing like ghosts as they crept upstairs.
Lin Tian himself strolled leisurely toward the study, as if taking a walk.
