What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 702: Barbatos is about to become a puppet?
Up to now, the World Forger's goal has been largely achieved.

Through the repeated abuses of Batman's Dragon, the Anti-Monitor, the Time Trapper, and others, he was dragged into the realm of death and then returned and fell into it again, transformed by the Emperor Joker, and controlled to beat himself...

After experiencing so many layers of weakening and coming close to exhaustion countless times, Parallax Hal was finally so weak that he could no longer resist Brainiac's extraction of the Parallax Monster from his body.

Even at the moment when he was captured by the Emperor Clown, Hal was still able to drive the power of the Parallax Monster to escape back to the timeline of "Zero Hour" upstream of the super time flow, but now he has completely become a fish on the chopping board.

Just now, the World Forger controlled Parallax Demonhal and injected the antimatter cosmic energy in his body into the Anti-Monitor Dragon. This objectively increased the power of the Anti-Monitor Dragon, but also completely eliminated the Anti-Monitor's control over Parallax Demonhal.

The Anti-Monitor Dragon escaped, and the First Lantern saw that the World Forger did not take any action.

At this moment, Brainiac has returned from the void. He locked the Parallax Monster extracted from Hal's body in a place known only to him and the World Forger. He looked obviously a little mentally unstable as he walked up to the World Forger to receive orders. The First Lantern looked at him and felt a chill on his back.

"What about the Time Trapper?"

He turned around and asked the World Forger, but immediately received a noncommittal answer: "The Time Trapper has gone to where he should be. I have assigned him some other tasks and he is a little busy. I made a deal with him."

The World Forger refused to say anything, so Lantern No. 1 could only continue to look at Brainiac.

When he first met Brainiac, the other party seemed a little taciturn and had thorns all over his body.

But now, although those fierce edges are still on Brainiac, he is now smoother than a basketball.

It now looks more like a cold puppet than a real living creature.

Brainiac once shared his fate with the First Lantern.

Brainiac, who was unwilling to go to the path he was supposed to go in the super-time stream, escaped his originally destined fate, dodged the restart of the multiverse again and again, and accumulated strength bit by bit until he was qualified to peek into the realm of the gods of the sixth dimension.

No matter how you look at it, no matter from which sense, the Brainiac before you is a hero among the Brainiacs, an awakened one among countless creatures in parallel universes.

But now he just stood there lifeless, his body and mind easily controlled by the World Forger, completely deprived of his free will, and he didn't even realize it before.

"Even if you kill me, I won't become like this."

Lantern No. 1 said to the World Forger.

The World Forger shook his head. He did not waste time talking nonsense. Instead, he controlled Hal, who had almost turned into a black zombie, to stretch out his hand into the void. Then his pointed hammer appeared in his palm.

The World Forger took the initiative to step into death, and thus replaced William Hand as the agent of the Black Death Emperor in the present world. However, his own status was too high, which resulted in the Black Death Emperor being passively manipulated by him.

Then he controlled the Dark Lord to transform Hal into a Black Lantern and control him. Now they are three in one. Although the World Forger voluntarily gave up his original body and gave it to Barbatos to chew every day in the World Furnace, he is still able to exert more power than in his prime by controlling this body.

such as……

He swung the hammer and lightly tapped it in front of the First Lantern, and then the First Lantern was shocked to see a brand new self being born out of his light hammer in the void.

Understanding the energy of the emotional spectrum, memory, body, everything, Lantern Number One immediately manipulated the emotional spectrum to tie up this counterfeit just created by the World Forger. Countless concrete chains penetrated into his brain and read his memory. Then Lantern Number One realized that the "Lantern Number One" just created by the World Forger was exactly like him, real.

"This is definitely not an illusion or a false appearance... this is real." Lantern No. 1 muttered to himself. He saw the extremely terrified look in the eyes of the Lantern No. 1 who was tied up by him, and then he felt the other party fighting back against him with a power that he was very familiar with. All this was so absurd, like punching a mirror.

"I created him two seconds ago," the World Forger told Lantern No. 15, "but in his memory, he has experienced the destruction of Earth , traveled through countless parallel universes, searched for a way to resurrect his mother, and also experienced cooperation with the blue guardians of the universe until their betrayal."

The World Forger said: "His memory extends to the life of your life just now. So, tell me, Huo Rong." Lantern No. 1 heard the World Forger say:
"Why do you say he is fake?"

Without waiting for Lantern No. 1 to reply, the World Forger gently waved his hand, and then Lantern No. 1 watched the created version of himself turn into ashes in extreme fear.

"You...you killed him!"

Lantern No. 1 was stunned for two seconds, and then he collapsed and said: "You killed him!"

While the World Forger was erasing the First Lantern he had just created, Huo Rong himself was connecting his willpower with that First Lantern.

He could almost fully sense the Lantern's confusion and fear before his death.

The feeling of despair that his entire life was created by the other person and all the memories he had experienced were false made him doubt his own existence.

"You killed him!" he repeated what he had just said.

If the World Forger could easily create or erase any living being, then what about him, the original Lantern? Was he just another toy created by the World Forger earlier?
"He was created by me. He didn't exist before. How can you say I killed him?"

The World Forger said, "I kneaded a ball of clay and then flattened it. Can you say I killed someone?"

He reached out and patted Lantern No. 1 gently on the shoulder.

"I told you I was the World Forger, I am the Renewal of All Things."

"Don't use your mind to speculate about my existence. This is quite funny. I know you don't trust me. Just now you tried to escape from my control. You are worried that I have complete control over your will... But now I just want to tell you that there is no need for me to do that."

"No, no... If you can really create an identical me at will, then why did you go to so much trouble to cooperate with me? Can't you just make one yourself?"

After a few seconds of extreme panic, the IQ of the First Lantern finally came back online: "What you created has shortcomings, so you have to find me to help you."

"Yes. These things have just been created. They have not been precipitated by time. No matter how much memory and history they have, they are all [fake]. Do you understand?"

The World Forger said, "Let me give you an analogy. I can create some sculptures made of cement, but before these cement sculptures are completely dried, I can easily flatten them. They are too weak. Do you understand?" He told Lantern No. 1, "You are the dried sculpture. It takes too much effort for me to twist you."

"You mean Brainiac is a sculpture that hasn't dried yet... Then are his memories of living through the restarts of the multiverse fake?"

"It's true." The World Forger said honestly: "When I created him, his own history was perfectly embedded in the hyper-time stream of the entire multiverse and became a part of the history of the hyper-time stream."

He said: "But the problem is, even if uncured cement is pasted on the cured cement wall, it doesn't mean that it will be as hard as the cured cement wall, right?"

He patted the first Lantern's shoulder: "So don't worry, I don't have complete control over your abilities."

The World Forger continued, "But you don't have to worry about my promise to you changing. Your world can never be resurrected, only because it is related to the operation of the current super-time flow.

When my plan is completed and the entire hyper-time stream is gone, I can naturally intercept your universe at a critical point in time and put it into my new world. Then you can continue to live peacefully, with your mother, and you don’t need to worry about any moral issues. "

Lantern No. 1 did not say anything, he knew that this was only the one-sided statement of the World Forger. What if he could really control the dried sculptures?
But now Lantern No. 1 has neither the ability to disprove nor the ability to resist. What else can he do except accept the other party's statement?

"Yes," he said finally. "So what do I need to do?"

"It's simple. I need you to help me provide the power of the emotional spectrum."

World Forger says:
"Just lie down behind Hal the Parallax Demon and lie still. The power of the black light and Hal's own green light are not enough to fully exert my power. I need a more powerful energy source to improve this container so that I can infuse more power into it."

Just as the Anti-Monitor was able to infuse more energy into his incarnation Mobius after it became the Anti-Monitor Dragon while swimming in the Anti-Monitor's hyper-time stream, after dispersing the Anti-Monitor's power and extracting the Parallax, the World Forger needed to add more power to Hal the Black Lantern to increase the strength of this container.

"I am the pump responsible for channeling the energy of the emotional spectrum."

Lantern No. 1 said.

"Yes, that's right." The World Forger nodded.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Recycle my creation." The World Forger said to the rotten face of the Black Lantern Hal, which really made the First Lantern feel creepy.

"What exactly do you plan to do?"

he asked.

"It's very simple." The World Forger laid out his plan, at least it seemed so. "I have already connected the puppet strings to the puppet when I made it. Now that the puppet has grown tall and big, we just need to pick up the puppet strings and we can control Barbatos."

He said: "Brainiac has gone to the broken fortress forged by Batman's dragon and brought back the universe of the dark multiverse flashpoint. We will control Barbatos and then we can start to create the multiverse fusion."

"What happens after you create the Multiverse?" Lantern No. 1 asked, "What's your plan for creating a new world? What do you do next?"

"Isn't it too early to consider this now?" The World Forger said, "I think I have explained enough to you."

He said somewhat briskly: "Why don't we finish what I just said before considering what we will do in the future?"

Lantern No. 1 knew that the World Forger was no longer willing to talk, so he said, "Okay."

He climbed onto the back of the Inspector Mohar, and his body shrank slightly, becoming like a tiny baby.

Countless tiny meridians of the emotional spectrum stretched out from his body and inserted into his body from the back of Parallax Demon Hal, no, now it should be said that Black Lantern Corpse Hal.

A large amount of colorful light flashed from the body of Hal, the Black Lantern Corpse, and then the First Lantern heard the affirmation from the World Forger: "Well done."

The next moment they broke through the space, went back, and appeared on the moon of Earth No. 1.

They had not been away for long, and at this time, Barbatos and Batman Dragon were still lying there.

Batman desperately used the dark matter energy he obtained from Barbatos to help Barbatos repair the severe damage he had just suffered from the sneak attack by Parallax Mohal.

The information given to Barbatos by Batman Dragon caused Barbatos to misjudge. He thought that under the control of Batman Dragon's disciple William Hand, the Dark Lord would work with him to drive the Anti-Monitor Dragon out of Parallax Hal's body, but this sudden counterattack caused him to suffer the biggest blow he had ever suffered.

The dragon was cursing all the time, and even though Chen Tao was trying his best to help him repair his body, he was still cursing at his teammates.

But the moment the World Forger manipulated the Black Lantern Hal to return, his cursing stopped abruptly.

"My puppet, it's time to respond to me."

Barbatos trembled as he looked at the terrifying giant shadow with the face of Parallax Mohar. Although the shadow was not big, it was enough to cover his entire body.

He felt Batman grab his arm, but he couldn't stop shaking.

He looked up to the sky and roared.

"World Forger!!!"

But what responded to him was the big hands extended by the World Forger.

It's just a puppet.
