Chapter 825: The final decisive battle, all the Gotham villains come to your door!"Batman won't die so easily. Now that I haven't seen his body, I don't think he will leave so easily."

Peter took back his right hand that was healing Catwoman and said to her, "Maybe he will come back someday."

"may be."

Catwoman let out a depressed sigh, "Since he's gone, I feel like everything I've done is meaningless. I don't even know why I did this. I don't know why I intercepted Two-Face's car just now."

"Just when I fell into the trash can, I even thought I was free."

Catwoman said, covering the exposed skin.

"But you saved me, Mr. Padraic. I even thought it was an illusion at first. Anyway, I have to thank you."

Catwoman sincerely thanked Peter.

"You're welcome. You just said you killed Black Mask. Is that true?"

Peter is quite interested in how Catwoman kills Black Mask.

As far as he knew, Catwoman, like Batman, had a no-killing principle.

“It’s a complicated past.”

Catwoman stood up and looked at the rain outside, "During that time, I was often faced with mental disorders and volatility. I was forced to decide whether to kill a super villain. He was Black Mask."

"Because Black Mask, in his attempt to 'improve himself', threatened the most important people in my life, from 'Grand Slam' Bradley to Holly. This villain also tortured my sister Maggie before, making her catatonic, and he murdered Maggie's husband, which caused my anger."

"Then Black Mask learned my identity through his former ally and childhood friend Sylvia, which made me even angrier."

Catwoman's eyes flashed with sadness, "I don't know what I was thinking at the time. Maybe I was considering whether it was right to adhere to the strict principle of not killing, or whether it was wrong."

"I shot him in the head while I was thinking about it, and that's the whole thing. For the first time in my life, he has been bothering me and making me wonder whether I am a bad person, a good person or a hypocritical thug."

Listening to Catwoman's somewhat painful description, Peter nodded.

After a while, he said to Catwoman: "Foucault pointed out in Discipline and Punish that torture is a dramatic display of power. Black Mask uses harming your loved ones to build a pyramid of fear, but when you choose not to take his life, you actually complete a more profound subversion - you pull him back from the 'altar of the abuser' to the position of 'mortal who can be judged'. We are all mortals, and everyone has the right to judge himself and others."

Peter said to her, "And your goal is just to prevent him from hurting more people, so I don't think this goes against your principles. Just like you said, Batman chose to shoot Darkseid in order to prevent him from hurting more people."

"I don't think Bruce Wayne is no longer Batman just because he breaks the rules of shooting. The same goes for you, Selina."

Catwoman was stunned when she heard what Peter said.

Peter's words gave her a sense of déjà vu.

It seemed like Bruce had once said something similar to me.

She felt a warm current flowing through her heart and looked at Peter, "Why do you know my name is Selina?"

"Because there is also a kitten in my world, named Selena."

Peter stood up and said to her, "You must be in touch with Barbara, the 'Oracle' of this world, so can you tell me what has happened in Gotham recently? Especially about the 'Black Mask' and Horus."

Peter asked her about the recent events in Gotham regarding the battle for the cape.

He wanted to see what these naughty kids had done in the city."of course can."

Bat cave.

Alfred stared at the two Nightwings in amazement.

How come two Nightwings suddenly appeared when I wasn't paying attention?

"I'm sorry, Dick, I shouldn't have kept you captive and pretended you were moving around the city."

Riven released Nightwing, whom she had imprisoned, and apologized sincerely.

Nightwing: “.”

Is this something that can be resolved with an apology?He glanced at Alfred, who was a little confused beside him, and wanted to say, "Butler, how come you didn't realize that he was fake?"Although he wanted to say that, he finally swallowed the words.

Who knows if this raven from another world would get so angry that he would not only lock himself up but also imprison Alfred. That would be terrible.

"So, Jason fell into the sea in the end?"

After a long silence, Dick asked Raven about Jason.

Although he did not experience this scene personally, he could feel Jason's mood at that time.

"Yes, he chose to let go."

As Riven spoke, she took off her mask, revealing her delicate, beautiful and heroic face.

"That's his choice."

Looking at Riven's face, which was completely different from the raven in this world, Dick was stunned for a moment, and then said with mixed feelings:"Jason was the second generation Robin. He was tortured and killed by the Joker and then resurrected. His psychological trauma has never healed. He tried to prove that he was more 'efficient' than Batman through extreme means, but deep down he still longed for Bruce's recognition. He has been unable to get rid of the contradiction of himself - he wanted to surpass Batman, but fell into despair because of the lack of recognition."

Raven agreed with Dick's words.

"Yes, I think he has always believed in his heart that Batman's principle of 'not killing' is hypocritical, but in the process of fighting for the cape, he gradually realized that he could not really replace Bruce. Choosing self-destruction is not a denial of the meaning of his own existence."

"My father once taught me that the hardest thing for a person is to reconcile with himself."

Just as Riven finished her words, she heard a prompt tone coming from the communicator beside her ear.

Gwen's voice came to her through the communicator, telling her that Horus had also withdrawn, and was now staying in the lounge with other brothers and sisters as a spectator, watching the final battle between her and Loki. Hearing the other party say that Horus had withdrawn, Raven was stunned.

Seeing Raven stunned, Dick frowned and asked her, "What's wrong?"

"nothing."

Riven shook her head and said, "I just got some bad news. Our family is also competing for our father's mantle. Now almost everyone has withdrawn, and only my brother is left."

Dick listened to Raven's words and fell into deep thought.

Only now did he understand why the other party pretended to be him.

It turned out that it was to deal with the brothers and sisters who were competing with her for the "cloak".

It seems that this raven from another world has the same problem of discord between brothers as himself.

"Do you need help?"

Tim and the Huntress came in from outside and asked Raven.

Although Tim was very dissatisfied with Raven pretending to be Nightwing, after all, the other party saved him, and now Dick was fine, he didn't want to pursue it.

Tim came over and said to Raven, "We can work together to deal with the brother you mentioned. He is definitely not a good person if he can dress up as Black Mask."

With the help of Oracle, Tim has already investigated Black Mask's recent actions in Gotham City.

As far as he knew, Black Mask himself had been killed by Catwoman, and there was absolutely no way that the other party could be resurrected from the dead.

At first he thought it was Jason impersonating Black Mask, but now everything is over and Jason fell into the sea.

Eliminating all impossibilities, Black Mask should be Riven's brother.

"No, no need."

Ruiwen shook her head, raised her head and said confidently: "I can kill him and prove who is the child who deserves his father's cloak. A guy like him will never succeed if he keeps hiding in the dark."

Riven clenched her fists and said to the others, "Although he is the god of trickery, this time, I will prove that any tricks are useless in the face of absolute power."

As soon as she finished speaking, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded in the Batcave.

Helena asked in surprise: "What happened?"

"Someone invaded Wayne Manor."

Dick immediately walked to the monitor in the center of the Batcave, looked at the surveillance video on it, frowned and said to everyone: "And there are a lot of people."

Looking at Poison Ivy, Killer Croc and others on the surveillance video, he turned around and said to Tim and Helena: "It seems that these criminals in Gotham now know that our base is here."

"Yes, they know."

Raven looked at the super criminals of Gotham on the monitor and her eyes narrowed.

"I know who sent them."

“They took down the layers of defense.”

The rapid breathing of "Oracle" came from the communicator, "Their modified drilling rig is breaking through Area B."

Nightwing's short stick drew two arcs of electricity on the metal bridge, illuminating the surging tide below.

"Drake!"

He jumped up between the falling steel beams. "I need you to guard the main console."

"no problem."

After handing the main console to Tim, Nightwing returned and quickly rushed towards the enemy.

Nightwing walked through the corridor of the Batcave and rushed to the outskirts of Wayne Manor, only to find that the enemy had already entered the manor.

He could hear people shouting around him.

"The person we are looking for is hiding in this manor!"

"Don't let them get away!"

Seeing Poison Ivy, Killer Croc, Killer Frost, Deadshot, Scarecrow and many other villains entering the manor, Nightwing hid himself in the shadows.

Killer Croc, who was acting alone, was attacked from behind by Nightwing.

Killer Croc reacted quickly, leaning back to avoid the first punch to his face, and the sparks from the short stick hitting the limestone ground illuminated the opponent's neck with bulging veins.

"Bang"!Killer Croc's sweeping kick suddenly changed direction, and the heel of his boot brushed against Nightwing's fluttering cape.

Pieces of concrete rained down on the glass display case nearby.

Nightwing tapped the toes of his feet on the wall, and the arc of electricity thrown out by the short stick accurately hit the nerve cluster behind Killer Croc's right knee.

Killer Croc grunted and attacked him again and again in anger.
