Ch: 143 [Perfect Plan]
"It's you who will suffer," Ra's stood up on his wobbly feet and glared at Bruce. "This will be my final attack. Take it if you can..." He clenched his fist and pointed it at Bruce. A ring appeared on his right ring finger.
"Bruce!" Skylar's voice echoed in his mind as he felt a resonance in his ring.
'I know. That's one of the ten rings. Give me more info, Skylar,' Bruce thought as he waited for her to speak. He stared at Ra's as sparks of red energy engulfed his arm.
"That's the Disintegration Beam Ring, aka Spectral. It projects a beam of energy capable of destroying the bonds between the atoms and molecules, causing inanimate objects to disintegrate. This ring must recharge for 20 minutes after each use. It can also turn the user invisible. We don't know if it's awakened like me. But, no matter what, you must not let it touch you or it's game over," Skylar replied telepathically.
'Game over, eh? Looks like we won't be killing him painlessly,' Bruce spoke inside her mind. 'Thank you for the information. But did you forget the most important part of my plan?'
"What?" Skylar was confused.
'Just wait and see...'
The reason this ring is a bane to Bruce is because of the nanites in his body. Nanites are inanimate objects. Hence, this weapon of Ra's is a bane to anyone with technology, regardless of its size. If the beam were to hit Bruce, then the nanites that are now a part of his body would break down, causing his body to disintegrate along with it.
However, as always, Bruce has a counterplan. He wanted to use it under a different situation, but the present situation is as good as any. He'll crush Ra's dream just like he did before after giving him a ray of hope.
"So, that's your big gun? Well, it does look kinda dangerous, but tell you what, I'll still kill you and take that ring and that armor as an extra bonus," Bruce said nonchalantly. 'I was so busy that I almost forgot about the rings. Skylar's power is OP as it is, but if I get this one, then... No technology would be able to stand before me. Plus the invisible bonus. This trip so far hasn't disappointed me. Time to end this.'
"BIG GUN? THAT IS NO BIG GUN! YOU'RE DAMNED CRAZY IF YOU WANT TO GO UP AGAINST THIS RING! BUT THEN AGAIN, PEOPLE TEND TO THINK OF STUPID THINGS WHEN FACING DEATH!" Ra's vanished in a blink of an eye.
Bruce couldn't see or feel the energy anymore. But looking at how the ring was charging energy, it'll take a while before Ra's could use it. But an invisible attack...
"How are you going to fight something you can't see or even feel its energy?" Ra's voice reverberated around him.
"Well, it's not like you are the only one who can turn invisible," Bruce manipulated the nanites in his body, turning himself invisible.
'He turned invisible,' Ra's looked around, but he couldn't see Bruce nor could he feel his breath or any kind of movement. His charge was almost done and if he lost this chance, he was as good as dead. 'This is getting irritating. I've just gained power to rival the gods and yet a mere human can counter it?!' Ra's clenched his fist in rage.
"Thawne and Lex... Nuclear fission on Metropolis... Don't know when, but you'll need help. You are strong... No, you are the strongest, but Thawne has an army of metahumans. Even you won't be able to defeat them alone. Go to the Infinity Island. There you'll find new allies. They won't accept you, so challenge their leader to a duel and defeat her."
'Metahuman army? An entire army?!' Bruce's brows furrowed.
Ra's continued, "I was blinded by my pride and strayed from my path. You see, when we become powerful, it comes with arrogance and greed. Bruce Wayne, never let arrogance and greed taint your path. Whatever you're going to do next, please choose wisely so that you won't have to lie in my place next. That's all. I'll see you in hell."
"Will keep that in mind," Bruce nodded as he blasted a hole in his head with a flick of his finger. Blood splattered out and Ra's Al Ghul died with a smile.
