Izumaru's travel notes

"What do you mean?"

"I would like to... cooperate with you, Your Excellency."

The Batman rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

"You two, why don't you sit down and talk. Oh, wait a moment, Miss Fit's feet."

"Clap clap."

The Batman clapped his hands, and two robots the size of index fingernails emerged from somewhere and climbed onto Chonggong's sprained ankle. A soft blue light shone on her ankle, and a tingling chill made Chonggong unconsciously climb onto Chonggong's back.

A few minutes later, the obvious swelling disappeared, and the Batman spoke at the right time: "Can we start?"

"you…"

Chonggong glanced at "Chonggong", but the Batman suddenly changed his words.

"I am so sorry, I forgot something important."

The other party just got up in a hurry and then disappeared here, leaving Chonggong stunned.

"Forget it, whatever they have to do, they have to do." Chong Gong also put away the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgement and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Although there are simpler ways to clean the salt frost on the body, why use other methods when you can take a shower?

At night, when "Chonggong" was sleeping soundly on him, Chonggong's body turned over strangely, and a shadow exactly like Chonggong separated from him and took a look at the sleeping "Chonggong".

"Take this and you'll definitely go to that kind of place."

Taking the ID card from Chonggong's fingertips, Shadow instantly melted into the floor and swam towards the dock.

"Oh, Your Excellency is here as expected."

When the shadow emerged from the ground, the Batman also walked out of the void and took a look. "Do you really not trust me? You don't even dare to come in person?"

"That's not the case, she's just too clingy."

Chonggong replied in a flat tone.

"It seems that you and your wife have a very good relationship. As a beast, it is rare for him to be able to marry a fit person."

"If you just came to chat with me, please go back."

Shadow tried to leave but was stopped by the Batman.

"Don't worry, let's go somewhere first."

The Batman transformed into a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, walked to the side of the road and waved, and soon a yellow taxi stopped by the side.

"Your Excellency, please."

...

The taxi drove for a long time from the deserted pier to a noisy bar. After throwing down a handful of banknotes, the Batman opened the door for Shadow personally, and carefully put his hand on the door frame to prevent hitting his head.

"It's so noisy here...are you sure you want to talk here?"

As soon as he entered the bar, Shadow frowned, obviously annoyed by the flashing lights, blaring rock music and noisy voices inside.

“No, we are here, but not here.”

The Batman walked to the bar and handed over a card. Shadow saw this and handed over his ID card.

"Wait a moment, you two."

After identity verification, a bartender led the two to a room, moved the animal-shaped ornaments next to the picture frame, quickly entered a string of passwords, and then verified the palm prints. The barrier of the room slowly rotated, revealing the true face of this bar: the universe black market

"Don't you know? Since the appearance of Stargate, the company's business has expanded more and more widely, and cross-universe business is nothing new."

"Stargate?"

Looking at Shadow's puzzled expression, the Batman laughed.

"Your Excellency is somewhat out of touch with the information. Just like the Sphia you dealt with last time, they also came from this universe to that universe through the star gate..."

"Then you transformed these Sphia, allowing them to feed on planetary energy and hunt on their own, creating more powerful Sphia synthetic beasts, and even replicating the power of those guys from the Kingdom of Light."

Hearing Shadow's words, the Batman laughed out loud, looking very proud.

"It's just Sphia, just a part of my plan. I wanted to distract the attention of the Kingdom of Light, but I didn't expect to meet you. But it doesn't matter. It's naturally more pleasant to cooperate with you."

Sitting at the bar, ordering two drinks, the Batman got down to business:

"Your Excellency should have seen Jetton. What do you think of this creature?"

"Powerful, very suitable as a fighter."

Looking at the burning azure wine in front of him, Shadow took a sip. Well, he still felt nothing.

"But the biggest drawback of Zetton is that it only acts on instinct and its abilities are limited. Ever since Zetton was defeated by Ultraman, the weakness of this monster seems to have spread throughout the universe. So..."

"So you destroyed a universe just to breed the strongest Jetton in the universe?"

The hand of the Batman who had just picked up the wine glass suddenly trembled, and he looked at the shadow in surprise.

"You know, I'm a monster. Monsters are most sensitive to the smell of fear and despair. On you, this smell is extremely strong."

"I see. It seems that in that universe, Your Excellency also relied on this to recognize me."

"I guess so. I roughly understand why you came to me. If you want me to invest, you have to show me the benefits. If I give you my cells, you have to give me the right chips, right?"

"I wonder if this satisfies you, Excellency?"

The Batman called the bartender, whispered something, took the box handed to him, entered the password, and opened it in front of Shadow.

Inside the box was a black and red fragment, which emitted an ominous smell of destruction. The smell was so strong that not only Shadow, but even Chonggong, who was far away in the hotel, trembled.

“Where did it come from!”

Shadow immediately covered the thing and looked at the other person in disbelief.

“I can tell you this, but…”

"If it's true, she'll leave."

After getting Shadow's promise, the Batman raised his glass and said, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation."

Shadow looked at the Batman who was raising his glass, hesitated for a moment, then also raised his glass and clinked it with the other's.

"Then please fulfill your promise, Your Excellency."

"Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, she will leave. The same goes for my original body. You and I will be in charge of this place."

"Well, Your Excellency is indeed very happy."

The Batman laughed and sent a cosmic coordinate to Shadow.

"When we reach that universe, this fragment will resonate with that guy, and you will know where that guy is then."

But just as the Batman finished, he saw Shadow buckled the box and stuffed it into his stomach.

The next day, the people of Baite saw two streams of light leaving the planet and detected violent fluctuations in space and time, and nodded.

"This is what you want."

A shadow emerged from the ground, holding two conical bottles sealed with corks. One of them contained a large piece of living alien beast tissue, glowing green light, and the other contained a liquid that seemed to be blood, also emitting dots of green light.

Upon seeing this, the Batman was overjoyed. He took it carefully and put it into the box he had prepared.

"Then let's get started."

"Ah."

The Batman snapped his fingers, indicating that this planet would become his testing ground. All life here would become nutrients for the strongest Jetton in history.
