In order to activate the electromagnet that could restrain the giant Transformers, Bruce drained all the electricity in Gotham City at once, and only then was he able to restrain the movements of some Transformers.
The entire Gotham City fell into great panic because of this.
This was no longer a regional blackout; it was a citywide blackout, a rare occurrence for Gotham, a metropolis with a population of tens of millions. Citizens frantically searched online for help, only to discover that their city was the only one experiencing this problem.
"Damn it, what's going on again? Isn't this city in chaos enough?! When will this end?!"
"It's over, it's over. I can't go on like this."
The citizens were in an uproar, and their hearts, already panicked by the recent surge in crime rates, were even more distraught.
This city-wide power outage also completely alarmed some secretive people, and they seemed to be getting restless.
Astonishing electricity was transmitted along the cables to the edge of the old city in an instant. The ground within a radius of several kilometers was covered with electromagnets. It can be seen that Bruce spent countless money to deal with Donny.
It did play some role.
"You're going to lose miserably today," Batman said. "I've carefully studied your Transformers. I've reviewed all your battle records and run countless simulations on computers."
A signal was transmitted from Batman, as if awakening a cold and powerful weapon. On both sides of the road, several missile silos slowly emerged from the ground, and inside the silos were small missiles that looked very strange.
"Missiles? You want to use that against me?" Donnie raised an eyebrow, looking a little amused, a hint of just the right amount of sarcasm on his face. But a thought flashed through his mind—was this a bit too much?
He'd foolishly come here to engage in a showdown with Bruce. On the surface, it seemed like a clash of ideologies, a real fight between the two sides, but what was the reality? A fight was necessary. He was genuinely dissatisfied with some of Bruce's ideologies, and he'd come in a half-serious, half-acting sort of way, but in reality, he had a more important goal...
One Transformer assembled a gun and fired directly at a missile silo, instantly destroying its launcher. Several other Transformers aimed directly at Bruce and began a blanket bombardment. Amidst the hail of bullets, Bruce shielded his head with one hand, his entire armor remaining unscathed.
A relatively hidden missile silo was aimed at Donny, and the specially made small missile was launched with a whoosh and hit a Transformer at an astonishing speed!
There was a loud bang.
The missile, with its slightly spiraling warhead, had actually pierced the Transformer! The moment the missile pierced through, a mild explosion erupted, followed almost instantly by a terrifying burst of heat. Visible liquid metal appeared at the wound site of the Transformer.
High-temperature armor-piercing bullet!
The real killer against Transformers!
Donnie's expression darkened for a moment. Even if organic life on Cybertron were hit by a high-temperature armor-piercing round like in the film, it would suffer horrific damage. In the film, low-level Cybertronians were completely powerless to withstand the 6,000-degree armor-piercing round. Only Optimus Prime, Megatron, or the next-level Bumblebee had some resistance.
"Against your weapons, surface explosions alone are of little use; only armor-piercing rounds are effective. While armor-piercing rounds have minimal damage to these massive Transformers, I'm using 3,000-degree high-temperature armor-piercing rounds. With enough of them, they can completely destroy them."
Batman stood there, the powerful electromagnetic field making his movements somewhat difficult. He said, "Each of these special armor-piercing rounds costs a whopping three million dollars, and I've secretly deployed dozens of missile silos! Donny, surrender! I don't want to kill you!"
Donnie's face was grim. No wonder they say Batman's superpower is money. Given time and information, he could kill even a god. Only Optimus Prime and Arcee, who had been meticulously modified by him, could withstand the 3,000-degree armor-piercing rounds. The other Transformers wouldn't be able to withstand them, and would still suffer significant damage.
Downey released countless fire seeds, and these tiny particles quickly attached to Optimus Prime and Arcee. The other Transformers just paid attention and covered them casually with a layer.
Donnie said nothing. All the Transformers, with their several-meter-tall bodies almost transformed into something else, raining fire in all directions amidst the harsh sound of metal friction. A large number of missile silos were destroyed, and the missiles they carried exploded on the spot with a loud bang. The terrible high temperature melted the ground.
Batman snorted coldly, and more silos turned their direction, aiming at Donnie. The sound of hissing continued. A large number of high-temperature armor-piercing rounds rushed towards Donnie with a chilling murderous aura.
Under Tony's control, several Transformers blocked outside and assembled a giant thick shield in the first time. Tony attached fire energy to the shield to resist the high-temperature armor-piercing bullets.
Even low-level Cybertronian life forms have to be cautious against high-temperature armor-piercing bullets, so it is not excessive for Tony to be so cautious.
Several Transformers stacked up and surrounded Donny in the center. Donny seized the opportunity of the explosion and took a sudden step forward. In just a few steps, he had crossed dozens of meters and rushed towards Batman.
"Your iron armor also has weaknesses. Do you really think vibranium and adamantium are invincible? Are the joints of your armor also made of them?" Tony sneered, and some anger rose in his heart.
Amidst the whirlwind of explosions and intense heat, Donnie dashed in front of Batman the instant the other Transformers drew their attention. He swung his hand in the shape of a knife, ducked to avoid a bomb, and then slashed directly at the Iron Arm's elbow. He brushed against the layer of vibranium armor draped over the suit's exterior, and with a single movement, his watch transformed into a sharp knife, slashing fiercely at the vulnerable joint!
With a sharp sound, the steel arm was broken, and the flashing sparks indicated that he was in a bad condition.
"Hey, your armor is actually..." Tony stepped back suddenly in a flash, looking at the other party in surprise.
By this time, the rain had subsided, and it was no longer as difficult to travel as before. The shivering little animals, hiding somewhere, finally had a chance to breathe.
At some point, a tiny owl flew lightly across the night sky. It was soaked all over, and its flight path was crooked in the rain. Finally, it barely found a corner of a dilapidated house and stood steadily there.
It shook off the rain on its body, not afraid of the violent explosion at all. From time to time, it looked at Donny and Batman not far away with its big eyes, as if it was very curious.
Owls love to come out at night.
