“Listen, he's the one who threw money on the street, he's the one who killed the cops, and he's the one who killed Robin.” Shiva continued his persuasion, “Those cops and the people from the Divine Network arrested me without asking questions, just because they thought I was ‘dangerous,’ so of course I had to escape.” He paused. “These so-called righteous people always cling to their own moral code and force others to act accordingly… You should know better than I do how annoying that is, shouldn't you?”

These words were somewhat tailored to his liking, as Jason Todd was the most rebellious of all the Robins and disagreed with many of Bruce Wayne's ideas.

A person's experiences change their views on things and their understanding of justice. Todd, who went from being Robin to the Red Hood, lived in a world that Dick and Tim couldn't understand. In Todd's eyes, the first and third Robins had been "brainwashed" by Wayne and were foolishly adhering to a set of almost idealized principles.

Some might think Todd was extreme, but conversely, it could be said that Batman was overcorrecting. Both of them had childhood traumas and psychological wounds, and it was hard to say whose values were more correct.

Of course, if the Joker were to comment, they'd all be lunatics…

“Is that so… then I'll give you a chance to prove it.” Todd also found himself cover, and his low voice called out from under his mask, “You say you want to kill him? Then I won't interfere, you go ahead alone.” At this moment, under the influence of endorphins, the fracture in his right arm didn't hurt as much. However… if he wanted to use this arm to shoot or fight in the short term, he had to be prepared for further injury and pain to the point of fainting.

Upon hearing this, Shiva decisively replied, “Okay!” With that, he moved at high speed, supported himself with one hand, flipped over the rooftop, and leaped down towards the street.

Todd heard the movement and leaned out to observe, just in time to see the other party jumping off the building. He knew that with Todd's "heroic" skills, he would only dare to jump from the third floor without any tools. Any higher, and he would need a gliding cape or rope to help him.

But this man in plain clothes actually jumped off the eighth-floor rooftop without hesitation…

“Are all these interdimensional travelers not ordinary humans…” Todd thought to himself, and at this point, he was convinced that all these guys had superpowers.

After landing, Shiva first looked up at the rooftop. He didn't see Todd's shadow, but he knew the other party was watching from above.

“I hope you'll keep your promise and not attack me when I'm about to kill him,” Shiva said.

The response was silence, but that was enough.

Shiva then shifted his attention to the car where Feng Bujue was hiding, a cold smile on his lips.

The psionic weapon, Heavenly Dance Hourglass, had already appeared behind him. The seven stone discs were formed from white light and flew out, heading straight for the target.

With Shiva's position as the center, the stone discs could move freely within a radius of two hundred meters, like seven highly agile remote weapons that could fire beams from any angle. In the face of this weapon, Feng Bujue, hiding in a confined space, was like a turtle in a jar.

“Those who think they're clever often dig their own graves,” Shiva commented smugly. When facing Feng Bujue, he was even more unscrupulous than Todd. He didn't care about any bombs. Even if the bomb was real, as long as the explosion couldn't kill him instantly from two hundred meters away, it would be meaningless.

The seven stone discs flew towards the car, hovering and unfolding above it, like a flock of vultures that had locked onto their prey and were preparing to feast.

A few seconds later, a continuous chirping sound rang out as the stone discs each fired beams of light, all of which hit the car. This continuous siege didn't last long before the car caught fire and exploded.

Of course, only the car exploded, and the range of the impact was only a few dozen meters at most. The situation Feng Bujue had mentioned about "destroying several streets" didn't happen.

“See that, Jason?” Shiva said to the heights, “He's just a liar, full of lies. If he had real bombs strapped to him, he would have already…”

“Blown you both to kingdom come,” another voice interrupted Shiva and finished his sentence.

Shiva looked in surprise at the direction of the voice and belatedly opened the game menu, finding that the words "surviving" were still displayed next to the ID [Feng Bujue].

A huge figure walked out of the flames. Every step the figure took on the ground made a metallic sound, like a robot.

When he saw the full appearance of the figure, Shiva couldn't help but exclaim, “What the hell is that?”

“You actually have Mr. Freeze's armor…” Todd, who was watching the show from the building, recognized the suit at a glance.

“Hahahaha…” Feng Bujue laughed loudly. At this time, his voice was coming from the speakers equipped on the armor, and it had an electronically synthesized feel. “Shiva, right?” he said to the other party, “You really think that standing at that distance, you wouldn't be killed by the bomb on my body? Hmph… I've emphasized it many times, if this bomb explodes, no one within several blocks will survive.”

“Don't be ridiculous, even if you really strapped TNT to yourself, how much could you hide inside that coat? You don't mean to tell me you have a small nuclear bomb hidden in your clothes?” Shiva's words weren't just expressing his doubts, but also probing.

Feng Bujue naturally understood what the other party was up to, and he replied calmly, “I'm strapped with a fuel-air explosive, do you want to try it?”

“What!”

Shiva didn't speak, but Todd, who was standing at a high place, was shocked at the time. This was the difference between an amateur military enthusiast and an expert.

“You should be glad that I got into the armor in time, otherwise we'd all be done for,” Feng Bujue said with a smile.

“You lunatic, do you know what the consequences of detonating something like that in the city would be?” Todd roared.

“Good question,” Feng Bujue replied, “During the day, the explosion at the ‘Northern Paradise’ factory was an experiment that Professor Ferris and I collaborated on, so I now have a very accurate estimate of how much damage the things on my back can cause.”

Shiva interjected, “Hmph… even if you make it sound plausible, I won't believe you.” He seemed very confident when he said this, “Strapping bombs all over yourself can indeed deter the characters in these scripts (dialogue like this will be blocked by the system, and the content heard by the NPCs will be slightly different), but for us players, you're playing with fire.” He raised an arm, palm up, “We don't care what happens to a city in a virtual world, or how many people die.”

The seven stone discs moved slowly in the air, unknowingly surrounding Feng Bujue.

“You using ‘mutually assured destruction’ as your trump card, and revealing it from the start, might be a little effective in a 1v1 duel, but this is a free-for-all. Aren't you afraid that I'll really fight you to the death here?” Shiva said.

“Ha…” Feng Bujue sneered, “Judging from the lineup of this killing game, the weakest one on the surface is me. It's a profit for me to die with any opponent. What do I have to be afraid of?” As he spoke, he adjusted the Freeze Gun in his hand, “For small fries like us, being able to kill the boss of the gods is definitely a bragging right.”

“Hmm…” Shiva also smiled, “There's some truth to that. It seems I haven't considered the problem thoroughly enough.”

Before he finished speaking, the Heavenly Dance Hourglass stone discs launched another wave of attacks, and sharp beams of light struck the Cold Blooded Armor one after another from various angles.

But in the face of perfect-grade armor, this attack was simply trash…

“The firepower is pretty fierce,” Feng Bujue said, “Looks like this should be a psionic weapon.”

The other party's words "psionic weapon" didn't surprise Shiva too much, because someone had already posted about it on the forums. He just replied calmly, “That's right, it's called the Heavenly Dance Hourglass. Since I got this weapon, I've never lost in a one-on-one battle, and I believe you won't change that.”

“Is that so?” Feng Bujue said, “Just with this thing that has similar power to a rifle, can only fire three shots each time, has a firing interval of up to a minute, and a flight radius of no more than two hundred meters?”

Before Brother Jue could finish his words, Shiva's shock value soared.

“Where did you get this data…” Shiva asked with a solemn expression. At this moment, he was wondering if there was a traitor in the upper echelons of the gods, otherwise how could the other party accurately state the four characteristics of the Heavenly Dance Hourglass?

“Of course, it's from observation.” While speaking, Feng Bujue also launched an attack.

His movements weren't fast, and he couldn't be fast, because the Freeze Gun at maximum power was shaped like a fattened version of the M4A1, and its size was almost comparable to a rocket launcher. The only way to hold the gun was horizontally in front of his chest, and when shooting, he had to turn his body to aim the muzzle at others.

Using this thing to shoot at the other party, the intention to attack was extremely obvious, and there was enough preparation time for the other party. Even ordinary people could make evasive movements.

However, even with so many obvious shortcomings, this was still Mr. Freeze's trump card, and the reason was simple…

Boom—

A blue-white beam of light spewed out from the muzzle, and the sudden bright light illuminated the night sky.

Shiva's movements were very fast. In two seconds, he moved more than ten meters horizontally, far away from the direct hit of the beam.

However, the beam was continuous, like a water column used by the fire brigade to put out fires. Feng Bujue only needed to hold down the trigger and turn the muzzle, and the beam would chase after the target.

The most terrifying thing was that not only would the area hit by the beam be instantly frozen, but before the attack ended, the freezing effect would spread to the surrounding area of the impact point at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, what Shiva had to avoid wasn't just a beam of light, but a large mass of moving AOE damage.
