What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 595: The Laughing Bat vs. the Emperor Clown: First Battle

The Laughing Bat's private attack on Chen Tao this time is actually not in the interests of its owner Barbatos, so this matter must not be known to the other party, or at least it must not be caught in the act.

This is why the Laughing Bat used the name of Batman Dragon when recruiting Omack Blue Beetle and Terra Terra. Strictly speaking, all the people present except them, except Queen Hecate, and the remaining three foreign players were actually invited by "Batman Dragon" and were members of the Dark Multiverse Resistance.

Despite their ill intentions, this fact is undeniable.

That's why Chen Tao tried to mislead the helpers brought by Kuang Xiao by revealing his true identity, but this idea was ruined by Kuang Xiao tearing off the leather cover three times...

You see, since it's so easy for the two of us to forge our identities, how do you know he's not pretending?

Therefore, if Chen Tao still wants to use his identity as an excuse, he must prove that he is himself.

But obviously, this is basically not something that can be proven in a short period of time, and the group of villains brought by the Batman Who Laughs... did not listen to the orders of "Batman the Dragon" very much.

The Horror Lantern finally took action. He was very likely the only person present who was capable of confronting Chen Tao head-on.

He swung a giant flaming sword at the Laughing Bat and Chen Tao. Before the scorching heat of the fire giant Surtur even approached, Chen Tao's hair had already stood up.

The Laughing Bat in front of him retreated quickly. He ran very fast and avoided the opponent's attack range far away. His goal had actually been achieved. All this was in his plan. Before, he appeared in front of Batman in his true form, actually to deliberately give Batman a flaw, making him think he had a chance to kill himself, so that the opponent would expose his strength in front of the Horror Lantern.

Therefore, Surtur, who is trying to destroy everything now, will naturally give priority to attacking Chen Tao, a powerful enemy. Even though he can't tell who is the Laughing Bat and who is the Batman Dragon, for a world destroyer, are these important? Not important.

The important part is that for the Horror Lantern, this Batman who can emit Omega effect rays is the most threatening to him and is most likely to stop him from destroying the universe in front of him. As for whether the other party will really stop him? This is not important. The other party has this ability, which is enough for Surtur to attack him.

The title of the Fire Giant is the Destroyer of All Things, so both the Batman Who Laughs and the Batman Dragon are targets to be destroyed by the Terror Lantern controlled by the Fire Giant Surtur.

"Ugh..." Compared to the Horror Lantern's clear goal, Queen Hekate next to him was wailing in pain.

She absorbed too much of Chen Tao's power. Both Hecate and Wonder Woman Diana had been infected by Chen Tao's power.

However, the Laughing Bat used the dark matter energy from Barbatos to temporarily block this control, but instead of helping Queen Hecate to escape, he also controlled the other party and then competed with Chen Tao to see who had stronger control.

Queen Hecate, who was caught in the middle, naturally wailed incessantly, but soon, the small amount of Barbatos energy brought by the Laughing Bat was ultimately no match for Chen Tao's power, and gradually lost the battle in Queen Hecate's body. Then Queen Hecate once again felt that control of her body was taken away by Chen Tao.

Not far away, the Laughing Bat, who had dodged the attack of the Horror Lantern, was also observing the situation silently. Beside him, Omac Blue Beetle and Terra Terra had also attacked, and everything was in line with the Laughing Bat's plan. For Terra and Blue Beetle, no matter whether the Bat was the Laughing Bat or something else, the one with great power was always easier to be besieged than the one without power, and the Laughing Bat's plan was successful.

Even if Chen Tao controlled Queen Hekate beforehand, so what? It is meaningless and cannot change anything.

Even if he can control Hecate now, because Mad Laughter added the power of Barbatos into Queen Hecate's body, even if Batman forcibly regains control, he will not be able to completely control Queen Hecate. In the battle, she will not only not be a help, but will become an object that needs protection.

She would be a "pig teammate".

The combined efforts of Terror Lantern and Omack Blue Beetle are enough to hold back Batman. As a creature possessing the artificial intelligence of Brother Eye, Omack Blue Beetle can to some extent help Terror Lantern restrain Batman's Metal Spirit power, at least in terms of computing power.

Then, Gaia Terra was enough to slaughter all the magicians in Queen Hecate's world by herself. No matter how strong a magician was, he needed to see the enemy recite the spell, but Gaia Terra was powerful enough to control the stars. She could turn all the land on the earth into liquefied ocean in an instant.

No matter which mage on Earth, as long as he steps on the ground and is bound by gravity, when the Earth Terra liquefies the entire ground, they will fall into the liquid-like ground unexpectedly.

As a wizard, if they can't even recite the spell, then they are no different from ordinary people.

Even if there are some with powerful strength like Shazam, we can just capture them specifically when the time comes.

And if there are only a few magicians left in the end, Batman will not be able to use them to open the barrier of the universe controlled by the Dark Lord and obtain the Spirit of Existence.

Everything is now under his control, as long as...

"Hah!" The Horror Lantern stared and yelled. Drop after drop of blood and tears flowed from his eyes, and then were ignited by Surtur's flames and turned into leaping flames, making the Horror Lantern look like his eyes were spitting fire.

That was the guilt-ridden cry of Alan Scott, the first Green Lantern, whose body was possessed by the fire giant Surtur. He was about to see the birth of another victim, just because he selfishly asked Surtur to spare his world.

For a long time, he felt deeply distressed by this result, but was powerless to do anything about it.

As he roared, he raised his flaming sword high again, this time vowing to split Batman's dragon in half, but then the Bat Who Laughs saw Batman summon Queen Hecate, who then grabbed him by the belt from behind and lifted him up, using him like a shield to face the Terrified Lantern who was rushing towards him.

Hey, what is this for?
The Laughing Bat seemed to realize what the other party was going to do, but it was too late to stop it.

Queen Hecate let out a desperate wail, and then the hideous and distorted face of the magic goddess Hecate suddenly rose from Queen Hecate's body. Like a ghost, she flew directly towards the terrifying Lantern Man who was rushing towards them. The other party was caught off guard and was rushed into the body of the magic goddess Hecate, who was driven out of Queen Hecate's body by Chen Tao.

Chen Tao had read novels and stories in his previous life. As we all know, if your body is controlled, what is the quick way to break free?
If we don't count those incredible plug-ins, another method is to introduce another variable to control your body.

Two forces are fighting for your body, just like two factions in the court are fighting for power, and the king can sit firmly in the middle, act as a referee, or even take sides.

As long as the two forces reach a balance and a crash occurs, this will be the best time for the king to grasp and exercise power!

"We must stop Emperor Clown from growing stronger at this time. He is getting stronger too fast..."

In the shadows, members of the Third Legion were whispering and exchanging information with each other.

"Emperor Clown will come to reality with the help of the Black Death Emperor, and then find the fifth dimension by some unknown method, and then manage to capture the Troublemaker and absorb his power, truly returning from history in his heyday."

A member of the Third Legion said: "Although we don't know how he found the troublemaker, we can tamper with the time when he comes into reality, but we can't do it too fast or too much."

"That's right. We must accumulate advantages little by little and must not allow for a large-scale butterfly effect. Otherwise, history will be completely diverted in another direction, which is likely to cause a huge chain reaction."

They discussed and polished the details over and over again, just like a stupid fan fiction author who doesn't dare to change the original plot.

"First of all, due to our intervention, Batman has already come into contact with members of the Dark Multiverse Resistance early on." said a member of the Third Legion. The face under his hood had no mouth or nose, but he made a clear voice, which was exactly the same as everyone else.

"But without the ability to save worlds one by one, Batman's control over the members of the Dark Multiverse Resistance has weakened, which is good. If he had been allowed to conquer worlds one by one like in the original history, the men he collected from each world would have been tightly controlled by him and trained like dogs. This would have made his men too powerful at the moment of the final battle. The power now is just right."

"But by doing this, we also allow the Emperor Clown to start planning to invade the main universe in advance... If he gains more authority over the troublemakers than in the original history, he will become too strong in the final battle, and the balance of history will be broken by us again."

"So how can we help Batman suppress the Joker Emperor now? He is about to take action in secret!"

"If we just let him go, I don't believe Batman will die now." One of the Third Legion members said, "The Bat Who Laughs is so difficult to kill, will Batman the Dragon die so easily?"

But before he could finish his words, another member of the Third Legion jumped out and said, "No, Batman will really die in front of you. I came from that timeline. Batman finally couldn't hold on and died. Our plan completely collapsed, so I came back to the present to remind all of us not to have any fluke mentality!"

"Damn it." The member of the Third Legion who suggested letting it go cursed.

"Okay, in that case, we just stop him. There is no other way." One of the Third Legion members said, "What else can you do? He is already planning to sneak attack Batman. He is no longer pretending. He plans to erase Batman's existence from the beginning. For Batman, the Joker Emperor is an opponent he has never considered. He has no idea that the Joker Emperor is now strong enough to launch an attack directly in reality, and all of this is due to the butterfly effect we caused."

"But now he..."

"Everyone! Now is not the time to argue. The fact is, if the Joker Emperor attacks Batman now, the Dark Lord will follow suit, as will Barbatos. Batman the Dragon will die without a burial place. Once he dies... he must complete the space-time loop before he can die!"

The final decision interrupted the chaotic discussion.

Everyone was silent for a while, and then one of the members of the Third Legion cursed:
"Damn Black Death Emperor, how could he open this Pandora's Box for the Emperor Clown so easily..."

"That's enough. There's no point in blaming the Black Death Emperor. His actions changed because of our intervention. I've said long ago that it's a bad idea to fight the Black Death Emperor directly in the Land of Death. Although he didn't participate in the final battle, he did a lot of things in the early stages of the whole incident. We should avoid doing that..."

Their discussion had not yet concluded when another member of the Third Legion who was in charge of surveillance sounded the alarm.

"Stop talking nonsense and do it!"

Amidst the chaos, everyone finally stopped their arguments. On an invisible level, countless members of the Third Legion joined forces to form a giant, shining hand, which intercepted the clown's giant hand that was returning downwards in the realm of super-time flow.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

The timeline roared deafeningly, countless spaces and times were broken, and with the blessing of the death power of the Black Death Emperor, the power of Emperor Clown briefly had the qualification to exist in the current reality.

The paradox was erased, the super-time stream was deceived, the attack was judged to be successful, and the distorted reality was about to appear in Queen Hekate's world as an attack that no one expected, but...

"what?"

In the Third Legion, everyone heard a slight sound of doubt, and the huge palm touched the hand formed by the members of the Third Legion. At the same time, the laughing bat in Queen Hekate's world suddenly raised its head.

An image appeared in his mind... and his eyes suddenly widened.

That image was of a clown wearing a crown.

The members of the Third Legion made a slight mistake: Emperor Joker was indeed attacking the real world, but his target was not Batman Dragon...

It was the Laughing Bat himself.
