Ch. 138

America and Amalia was shocked by the sudden voice and when they tried to look for the source, they heard a man landing behind them.

When they turned around, they saw a man covered in all black, except for his mouth. There are also two short horns on his head.

"Who are you?" America stepped forward, trying to protect her mother.

"I'm Batman." In a deep and gruff voice, Batman introduced himself.

"So, you're the hero of this city? Please excuse us, we just have some things to take care of." Xyrus stepped forward and said to Batman.

"Why did you do that?" Batman asked.

"You mean about that man? Obviously, it's self defense." Xyrus shook his head.

"You don't need to go that hard. You're not like me, a hero." Batman with his usual deep voice said to him as he squinted his at at Xyrus.

"What?" Xyrus was confused as he thought that Batman would praise him or something.

"I need you to come with me." Batman stepped forward and said, as if intimidating him.

'What's with this guy's brain?' Xyrus frowned as he refused.

"No, I can't. I still have something to do. Bye." Xyrus waved his hand as he gestured for America and Amalia to come with him.

"You will come with me! Whether you like it or not!" Batman them threw a batarang towards Xyrus's position. He was just informed by Alfred that this man and the other 2 doesn't have any identities in this world.

Either they're from a hidden organization that hid their identities or they're not from this world. Batman suspects that they're likely some kind of Alien that could copy someone's appearance, especially when he saw Xyrus's show of power.

"I can let you do that. I still have a promise to fulfill." Xyrus shook his head as he caught the batarang with his hands.

*Beep!*

*Beep!*

Noticing that something was wrong, Xyrus immediately moved in a speed that Batman can't see.

*Be-!*

The beeping stopped as Batman was confused about what happened. He's confident that the batarang wasn't faulty, after all, he got it from the elite of the elites, Lucius Fox.

"That was close, you can't just throw bombs just any-" Another batarang once again flew in front of him.

"Really?" Xyrus catched the batarang and looked at Batman, however, what he saw was a metallic fist in front of his face.

*Bang!*

However, unlike what Batman exppected, Xyrus, who should have fallen unconscious didn't even move one inch while his fist seems to have hit a hard wall or something.

*Clank*

*Clank*

Some parts of his gauntlet fell on the ground as Batman's hand was exposed to the world.

Batman squinted his eyes at Xyrus as he thought to himself.

'Not only does he have metal controls which he used to liquidate the Robber's gun and manipulate it, but he also has a tough durability. I should test if there's more to his strength before making a plan to take him down entirely.' As Batman's thought processed, it just took him 2 seconds to deduce his next move.

He pulled out two of his handguns and fired several special bullets that could pierce through steel to Xyrus.

However, before the bullets could reach Xyrus, all of them disintegrated as if there was some sort of barrier protecting Xyrus.

"Dude, what's with you? Can't you just walk away and mind your own business?" Xyrus got annoyed at this superhero.

And what surprised him even more was when he read Batman's mind, he saw several other heroes defending their own cities.

Superman

Wonder woman

The Flash

And many more.

Not only that, but Aliens actually also exists in this world and Batman has an alien teammate called Martian Manhunter.

'This world is truly amazing.' Xyrus nodded his head in approvedment.

However, what he is disatisfied was Batman's philosophical thinking of not killing others as he kept a mindset of 'He's not an executor and he doesn't have the rights to take somebody else's life.' which is pretty fucked up as many criminals has escaped under his self-made prison and did more crimes before just being put back to jail.

In fact, because of this, many villains started getting brave as more and more criminals emerged and started doing criminal things, because they thought that they wouldn't be killed by Batman, just imprisoned.

'I can't let this man keep this kind of mindset, he's just killing his own city.' Xyrus then shook his head in disapprovement.

Meanwhile, his nodding and shaking of his head was seen by Batman who was confused on what he was thinking.

'Did he think that my performance disappoints him? Or perhaps something else?' Batman was racking up his mind as he failed to notice Xyrus smirking.

"Go to sleep, Bruce." As Xyrus muttered that only Batman could hear, his eyes widened in surprise as intense sleepiness slammed on him while he tried his best to stay awake.

"Why...did...you....say..that..name?" As Batman tried to form a question, his will finally collapses and he fell on the ground, unconscious, but before he fell, he clicked a button on his belt that will alert Alfred that be is in danger and also send his current location.

"Let's go." He looked at America and Amalia before urging them to follow him.

They both avoided the unconscious body and ran up to Xyrus as America asked him.

"Who was that guy? Some sort of hero in this world?" America asked.

"You're right, but an idiot hero." Xyrus said as the three of them finally got out of the dark alleyway and saw that it was night.

"We can't stay here any longer, this world is just as dangerous as your world, so let's save your other mother." Xyrus said to them as America nodded her head and took out the compass once again.

"West, it's in the west" America informed him as she pointed at her left.

"Then, let's go." Xyrus and the other two suddenly floated in the air as Amalia yelped in surprise and fear.

America then came in and comforted her.

"Sorry about that, but you'll get used to it." Xyrus didn't bother them anymore and flew away in the air, heading towards a city called Metropolis.
