"The will to survive determines the power of the enhancement. Is this idealism?" Batman looked at the three Survival Cards in his hand with some confusion.

He was already strong in this form. What would happen if he used all three Survival Cards?

"Everyone, enter Arkham Asylum! Be careful of the monsters and criminals inside!"

At that moment, the shouts of the police came from above.

Batman immediately entered the mirror world and left the area.

After Batman left, two particularly small mimic beasts crawled up from the sewer's water flow.

They were newborn mimic beasts, one male and one female.

Having just been born, they playfully fell into the water flow, narrowly escaping death.

Their bloodthirsty eyes were filled with hatred as they looked at the bodies littering the ground. They let out a low growl before jumping into the water flow, their destination unknown.

The threat of the mimic beasts was not over.

However, the screen had already switched scenes, and no one was aware of this.

Tony Stark: "Hey, Bruce Wayne, your armor is cool. If you analyze it later, could you share the results here so I can study it too?"

Tony Stark: "Some parts of this armor look like clothing. It must be made of extraordinary materials and technology. It would be great to incorporate this into my Mark armor!"

Nick Fury: "If possible, I want it too. Such armor would be highly significant."

Bruce Wayne: "I'll discuss it when I get back. I'm not sure what I'll be able to analyze."

Tony Stark: "I'll be waiting for your good news. This combination of magic and technology is fascinating. It could significantly enhance human strength!"

Vegeta: "Heh, only useless fools rely on technology and armor."

Tony Stark: "What did you say!"

Vegeta: "Isn't it obvious? True warriors rely on their own strength. These toys are meaningless."

Goku: "Indeed, I've encountered high-tech things before, but they weren't very useful."

Diana: "I have to agree. I also believe in the power within oneself."

Thor: "That's right. Inner strength is the greatest power!"

Loki: "Brother, could you put down your hammer before you say that?"

Thor: "Hey! What do you mean by that? I'm the strongest even without the hammer. Besides, my hammer and I are one."

Barton: "How did we end up talking about hammers?"

Tony Stark: "Hmph, advancing technology is essential for the times! You'll all regret abandoning it sooner or later!"

Dan Moroboshi: "Well said. Technological advancement is necessary. Not everyone has great power, so we need such weapons."

Batman ignored the arguments on the screen, already having exited the mirror world and standing atop Arkham Asylum, looking down.

The place was now swarming with police.

"Hmm?"

Batman noticed something and looked ahead, seeing a figure on a distant rooftop that quickly disappeared.

"Did I see that right?"

Batman wondered, about to investigate, when the police communication system in his ear transmitted a conversation.

"Attention! The Joker is robbing Gotham Bank! Requesting immediate backup!"

Hearing about his old foe, the Joker, Batman's expression changed. He couldn't worry about the previous matter now and immediately leaped down.

Amid the exclamations, he jumped into the Batmobile and sped away.

In the Gotham night sky, a woman in a revealing armor, armed with a sword, was leaping between buildings.

It was Wonder Woman, Diana.

"I thought he might need help, but his performance exceeded my expectations. As expected of the Gotham Bat."

Diana spoke with some approval.

She then looked down at the dark alleys below.

In the many dark corners, various crimes were happening.

Drug dealing, robbery, assault, everything was there, spreading a rotting stench.

"No wonder Gotham is called the City of Crime. It's disgusting."

Diana, always hating evil, showed a strong look of disgust at the criminal activities below.

Brooklyn, Marvel World.

"The SCPs, the Unstoppable Cleaver and the mimic beast, have been contained. The host receives rewards: an Unstoppable Cleaver and the mimic beast's mimicry ability."

After the system's voice, a seemingly ordinary cleaver appeared on Ryner's table.

"Ah, they just gave it to me directly. And mimicry ability? Not impressive."

Ryner picked up the cleaver, feeling helpless. The voice he made was not his own but a deep middle-aged man's.

"Hopefully, I'll get a better reward next time."

Ryner threw the cleaver down disdainfully.

The screen's predictions continued.

"Predicting the next SCP: the Ocean Dread Beast." (SCP-1128)

Everyone's attention focused on the screen.

"The ocean is vast and more dangerous than the land. The number of SCPs lurking in the ocean far exceeds those on land. Many have explored the ocean, seeking its mysteries, but most ended up buried at sea."

After the narration, the screen showed a terrifying creature.

It was over fifty meters long, with a body resembling an octopus's tentacles covered in suckers. The tips of the tentacles looked like blades.

Its head resembled a magnified and elongated crow's head, with sharp beak and blood-red eyes, looking horrifying.

Coupled with the dark ocean background, the image made many feel uncomfortable.

"The Ocean Dread Beast lives in a specific ocean area, its exact location unknown. If you learn of its description, whether by hearing or seeing related photos, you will face terrible consequences."

"Initially, you will develop a fear of water. Once your body is fully submerged, you will be transported to the Ocean Dread Beast's location, hunted by it."

"Even if you escape the hunt and flee the area, it won't end."

"Over time, your fear of water will worsen. Even a glass of water nearby can draw you in, transporting you to the beast's location, until you're completely destroyed."

The screen then showed a lab-like place where two prisoners in uniforms were looking at a photo of the Ocean Dread Beast.
