Everyone was stunned.
What just happened? How was the kitchen knife contained?
Wasn't the kitchen knife supposed to be unstoppable?
Tony Stark: "I see! I understand now! This kitchen knife has a huge loophole!"
Diana: "Figuring that out, as expected of Batman."
Sengoku: "Such a method exists? Unbelievable."
Piccolo: "So, the kitchen knife isn't that formidable after all."
Some clever individuals had already figured out how Batman managed to contain the kitchen knife.
However, those less perceptive had no idea what they were talking about.
Nobita: "Huh? What are you all talking about? I don't get it at all."
Naruto: "Can you explain it clearly?"
Robin: "Think carefully about the condition under which the kitchen knife is unstoppable."
Nick Fury: "The condition is that anyone who tries to stop the knife wielder from killing will fail. Wait! Could it be…"
Robin: "Exactly. As long as you don't try to stop the knife wielder from killing, you can stop them."
Luffy: "Huh?! What does that mean?"
Loki: "Foolish humans, can't you see? It means, as Batman did, you just need to think about destroying something else and indirectly affect the person holding the knife!"
Goku: "That's so complicated."
Seeing that some people still didn't understand, Robin patiently explained further.
Meanwhile, with Batman...
After sealing the kitchen knife, Batman exhaled heavily, relieved that his idea had worked.
The containment method had been hinted at in the previous explanations.
Only someone with a particularly agile mind could think of it.
Anyone seeing someone with the knife would either think of running away or trying to stop them. Rarely would they consider something else.
The kitchen knife's ability exploited this mental loophole.
"SCP, the Unstoppable Kitchen Knife has been successfully contained. Rewarding Bruce Wayne with the Kamen Rider Knight's transformation card box."
The electronic voice on the screen announced.
Suddenly, a black card box with a golden bat emblem appeared in Batman's hand, flooding his mind with information.
The audience was shocked.
Diana: "What! Bruce Wayne is Batman! A rich playboy by day, and a crime-fighting vigilante by night. This is…"
Natasha: "Wait! What's a Batman?"
Sanji: "I was so focused on the kitchen knife, I almost forgot. Why is this guy wearing a mask and a cape?"
Diana: "Batman is Gotham City's vigilante, fighting crime at night. He's the nemesis of Gotham's criminals. No one ever knew Batman's true identity, and now it turns out to be the famous playboy, Bruce Wayne. If this gets out, it will cause a huge uproar."
Bruce Wayne: "So, are you going to reveal it?"
Diana: "No, considering your fight against crime and protection of the people, I wouldn't be so petty."
Tony Stark: "Rich and a hero, just like me!"
On a private jet...
Tony Stark watched the screen, excited.
He never thought there could be someone so similar to him in another universe. If they were in the same universe, he would love to meet him.
Tony Stark: "But why hide your true identity? If it were me, I'd hold a press conference and announce it."
Nobita: "Isn't it cooler for heroes to hide their true identity?"
Tony Stark: "Hey, kid named Nobita, let me tell you, the coolest heroes are the ones who flaunt their identity."
Bruce Wayne: "It's not about being cool. It's about protecting the people around me. I don't want my enemies to harm them."
Seeing this message, Tony Stark paused, suddenly reminded of the military, government, and various forces eyeing his Iron Man suit recently.
There might be no breakthrough on his end, but what if they targeted Pepper or Happy or took over his company?
"Damn it, what have I been doing these days? How could I forget something so important!"
At that moment, Tony Stark realized how foolish his recent complacency was and immediately contacted Jarvis for countermeasures.
Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne was heading to Arkham Asylum in the Batmobile.
"Hey, Batman, what about that guy?"
Gordon ran over, pointing at the unconscious criminal.
"Without the knife, he's just an ordinary person. Treat him accordingly."
Batman replied.
"What? Knife?"
Gordon was even more confused.
"Also, deploy SWAT to seal off Arkham Asylum. There will be a riot and monsters tonight!"
Batman said before driving off towards Arkham Asylum, leaving Gordon bewildered.
As Batman drove, he looked at the card box in his hand.
"Kamen Rider Knight's card box. After transformation, it equips a special armor allowing access to the mirror world, contracts with the dark winged bat, and possesses various card summoning abilities, mastering high-level swordsmanship and tactics."
Listening to the screen's explanation, Batman became more intrigued by the card box.
Perhaps he could verify its abilities soon.
When Batman arrived at Arkham Asylum, he heard a cacophony of noises from within.
Gunshots, fighting, screams, and even monster roars were incessant.
Clearly, the Mimic Beast had started hunting inside Arkham Asylum, and the inmates were resisting.
"I'm more worried about the criminals than those monsters. Hopefully, there's still time."
Batman took a deep breath, organizing his thoughts.
Using the information from the card box, he held it up to the Batmobile's rearview mirror.
A belt flew out from the mirror, automatically fastening around Batman's waist.
"Henshin!"
Batman instinctively shouted, inserting the card box into the belt.
Several armor phantoms appeared, layering onto Batman.
A black suit, white armor protecting vital areas, a helmet resembling a medieval knight, and a long sword at his waist.
Kamen Rider Knight was born!
A sharp screech was heard.
A giant black bat flew out from the mirror, circling above Batman before returning to the mirror.
"This is the contract beast? No time to study it now."
Batman was amazed by Kamen Rider Knight's power, but the immediate priority was Arkham Asylum!
