Chapter 136: Upgraded Batman

"The prison locks have been unlocked!"

"All security systems disarmed!"

"The prisoner has been released! Repeat, the prisoner has been released! The situation is extremely dangerous."

"…"

The agents from Secret Service Nine were likely just as confused. What on earth was happening?

Since this thing called Phantom came into the picture, their super-secure base seemed to be falling apart faster than a stock market crash. They rushed to deal with the chaos.

In the past, they dealt with crazies, but these phantoms were on another level, far beyond what they'd ever faced. Their usual equipment and methods didn't seem to work against these new threats.

Before the think tank, led by the old expert Miyazaki, could come up with a solution, they had no choice but to respond with what they had.

Despite the situation being bad, it shouldn't be so bad that it feels like the center of the earth has collapsed. So, a group of agents, ready for anything, rushed to the prison for dangerous criminals.

Finally, a team of agents formed a defensive line outside the prison. They set up their guns and guarded the only exit, ready for action.

But just as everything was set up, there was a loud bang. The heavy alloy door was blasted open by a strange force, and a tall, imposing figure, standing at 6 feet 2 inches, stepped out with an intimidating presence. It was Batman.

The agents were stunned. Had the name of their base changed to the Bat Airship or something? Batman was moving so fast, he almost made it back to them before they could even react.

This time, Leng Ji, who had been recovering from an earlier sonic attack, was ready. He used a tentacle from his back to push Batman away.

With his hearing aid now working, Leng Ji was ready for Batman's tricks. He taunted, "Is that all you've got? Can't you fight without playing dirty?"

Batman's face was expressionless as he clenched his fists. A faint blue electric current sparked from his black gloves.

Leng Ji smirked, and with a powerful kick, he transformed into a streak of lightning, racing towards Batman with a confident punch.

Leng Ji was sure of his own abilities, thinking he was beyond human. He felt that if they had fought last time, Batman wouldn't have been much of a challenge if he wasn't using tricks.

But what Chai Yanluo didn't anticipate was that Chu Cheng had brought Batman with him today, and Batman wasn't planning to rely on any tricks.

Today, Batman was testing out new gear.

*Thunk.*

Leng Ji threw an uppercut, but Batman's arm stopped his punch effortlessly. Leng Ji frozen in disbelief.

Wait, is he not just an ordinary person?

Leng Ji clearly remembered that last time Batman fought, he seemed only to use small gadgets and wasn't very strong—just an ordinary person at best. But now, Batman's strength was incredible.

Before Leng Ji could process this, Batman's powerful black fist slammed into his nose, almost breaking it. The electrical shock from the punch made Leng Ji stagger backward, disoriented. He quickly regained his footing and tried to punch Batman, but Batman easily dodged, leaping into the air and spinning 360 degrees before delivering a thunderous kick to Leng Ji's chest.

The kick shattered Leng Ji's hopes and stunned the spies watching from outside. They couldn't believe their eyes.

The kick sent Leng Ji crashing into the reinforced wall, leaving the agents astonished. Wasn't Batman supposed to be an ordinary person?

Batman's spinning kick was a powerful move, showcasing both his strength and skill. Even though Leng Ji had tough skin and the wall behind him was dented, he managed to stand up, bewildered by Batman's new strength.

Leng Ji couldn't understand how Batman had gone from being an ordinary person to having such extraordinary strength overnight. It was as if he had magically gained superpowers.

Leng Ji's gaze shifted to Batman's suit. In the dim hallway, he hadn't noticed before, but now he saw the suit was different. It looked like Batman's old suit but was actually a high-tech exoskeleton.

The suit was made of armor pieces, not just fabric. It was a sleek, tight-fitting exoskeleton that offered more protection and enhanced strength. It wasn't like Iron Man's bulky armor, but it gave Batman the strength of a super soldier.

Chu Cheng had discovered this suit in Batman's upgraded gear. It was from a timeline where Batman was older and had suffered serious injuries. This suit, created with future technology, helped him maintain his strength and continue fighting.

Now Batman was just getting started.
