What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 725: The Superman Resurrection Plan of the Foolish Owl

I am……

What am I?

This question is a no-brainer for all people. When they emerge, they define themselves, they get a name, and then they build themselves around it. This is usually a very long process.

But I am different, I was constructed suddenly. My existence precedes my definition.

I am the owl of the foolish world, let me call myself that.

After Night Owl suffered a complete mental breakdown, he voluntarily gave up this body. He volunteered to become my secondary personality and refused to fulfill the definition of his own existence, so I was born.

I have inherited his body and all his wisdom and courage, and therefore I must bear—

The fate they set for me.

When the Owl made his decision, Night Owl and the Joker on the screen disappeared without a trace.

He stood up and took off his mask, revealing the handsome face of Thomas Wayne Jr., with a smile that was completely different from that of Nite Owl or the Joker.

"For a glorious mission."

Foolish Owl said.

The next moment, a portal opened in front of him, and what appeared in Yuxiao's eyes was a strange man wearing a green hood. He held a crescent-shaped scepter in his hand, which looked like a crescent moon embedded in an iron rod.

"Oz." Yuxiao called out the name of this new collaborator.

"What I needed you to do before is no longer necessary." Yu Xiao heard the mysterious man named Oz say to him: "Don't worry about the troublemaker anymore. Let him stay in the body of the Emperor Clown until he dies. All previous plans are urgently terminated. Now we have more serious problems."

Although he tried hard to appear calm, his deep voice still revealed how disturbed he was.

"Don't be in a hurry, please sit down." Yuxiao spoke in a steady tone. He made a please-come-before gesture and walked to the smooth wall next to the spaceship with an indescribable elegance.

He knocked on the wall, and then a hidden cabinet appeared. He took out a glass of red wine and poured a glass for the mysterious visitor named Oz.

The oval intelligent robot that was flying in the air used nanorobots to build a bar for him. He put the cup on it, then crossed his legs and sat on the chair that appeared out of thin air.

This posture looks very clownish.

But the mysterious visitor named Otzi was clearly in no mood to appreciate any of this.

"No need to drink, our plan needs to be adjusted. The Superman of the main universe has been kidnapped, and we need to rescue him..."

But he was interrupted by Yuxiao halfway through his words.

"It's impossible. You just asked me to kidnap Superman, his son Jonathan, and his wife Lois. It's easy to do. For the sake of our deal, I can bring him to you. After all, you helped me a lot. But now-"

Yu Xiao said: "The simplest question, do you know who captured the main universe Superman?"

"I can try to track him and get him back," Oates said.

Yu Xiao did not comment: "Okay, since you said it's okay, why don't we change the subject? What should I call you? Oates, or -"

He put down his glass.

"Jor-El?"

(Note: Jor-El, Superman's Kryptonian father, in the Rebirth period, Action Comics Vol. 987, Jor-El was taken away by Dr. Manhattan before the destruction of Krypton. He was manipulated and brainwashed by Dr. Manhattan, which triggered the Oz Effect.

Previously, he used the Trickster to cause the fusion of P-Super and N-Super in the Superman Rebirth event in Volume 976. However, in this book, neither of these two events happened yet.

At the end of The Oz Effect, after Dr. Manhattan had used Superman's dad, he threw him back to just one second before Krypton's destruction. It was a bit of a joke.)
Oz, or Jor-El, took two steps back. He never thought that he, who had been manipulating the main universe behind the scenes, would be so suddenly exposed here.

The other party's tone was so certain, and he knew that there was no point in denying it at this time, and...

Even if I knew, what could I do?
"It seems that you have really taken great pains since our last meeting."

He walked to the other side of the bar without fear and confronted the stupid owl standing opposite.

He said: "But if you think..."

But he had just said half of his words when, the next second, countless metal chains suddenly stretched out from the bar in front of him and tied him up tightly.

The Owl suddenly fell backwards, rolled and leaped away, and then the oval-shaped intelligent robot standing next to him transformed in front of Jor-El and turned into a Batman with a pointy head. The bar in front of him also quickly turned into a large number of nanorobots. These nanorobots formed a human form, which was the image of the butler Alfred.

"What can I do for you?"

The mechanical Alfred made of nanorobots grew more metal tentacles and tied up Jor-El tightly.

His hood fell down, revealing Jor-El's half-disfigured face beneath the hood and a green light shining in his one eye.

"You wouldn't think--Ah!!!"

He let out a scream, and the kryptonite energy beam that was about to be shot out from that eye was burned by the red solar rays ejected by the Nano Alfred in front of him. He took a deep breath, but before he could exhale the cold air, a metal tentacle stabbed him from the throat to the stomach.

With a clang, his moon scepter fell to the ground. Yuxiao took two steps at a time, picked up the scepter, and then quickly retreated, hiding behind the shelter raised on the ground in the room.

He had explored all of Jor-El's methods and abilities and had prepared for them. This was an elaborate trap, but his enemy had not anticipated this betrayal at all, and even the intelligence was far behind him.

Therefore, even though Jor-El possessed the energy granted to him by Dr. Manhattan, as well as the strong physique of a Kryptonian and the ability to manipulate kryptonite energy, he was still defeated by Owl in one encounter and completely lost the last bit of resistance.

puff!
As the super power suppressant was injected, Jor-El fell into a completely weak and powerless situation.

"Well done, killing machine."

Yu Xiao walked out from behind the shelter, holding the Moon Scepter in his hand, and stood in front of Jor-El, looking down at him.

And the one who appeared beside him was none other than the killing machine of one of the Dark Knights.

But at this moment, as a machine, he seemed to have completely lost his self-awareness.

After being captured by Yu Xiao, Yu Xiao infected him with a virus, formatted his brain, customized and reflashed a system for him. During this period, he accidentally bricked the killing machine several times, but fortunately, the hardware short-circuited to save the bricks, and after replacing the parts twice, he finally succeeded in driving the weapon with his customized system.

Apart from the hardware problem of the nanomachine Alfred creating, which would always repeat "What can I do for you", the killing machine had become a very useful tool, under Yu Yu's control.

He had just disguised the opponent as an elliptical intelligent robot, then used Nano Alfred to build a bar to launch a sneak attack, and used his own actions to attract the opponent's attention. Under the effect of this whole set of combined punches -

"You are my trophy now."

Foolish Owl said.

"But the interesting thing is, I'm not going to torture you."

As he said this, he picked up the Moon Scepter.

A small group of nanobots crawled across the floor and helped form a pedestal for the scepter to stand next to Jor-El.

"We need to talk. A certain unknown person... What should I call you? An unknown evil? What do you think of this name?"

The moon scepter glowed with a faint blue fluorescence, flickering.

"What are you talking about?" Jor-El looked at the scepter and then at the Owl of the Fool.

His brain, which had been brainwashed by Dr. Manhattan, seemed to realize something at this moment, but he didn't dare to believe it.

He suddenly became angry: "Who are you talking to? What are you talking about?"

"Why don't I tell you what I want first... You hold the life essence of New 52 Superman and New 52 Lois, and I want that thing."

Foolish Owl said.

There was no response, and the Moon Scepter was as dead as a real dead object.

"Ha, are you talking to the air?" Jor-El was still cursing or wondering, but the Fool Owl remained unmoved, staring at the scepter intently.

"Sandman revealed your existence to me... No matter who you are, I have discovered your purpose."

The Foolish Owl thought silently.

"Then even if you are a god——"

"Your behavior can definitely be manipulated by me!!!"

Beyond the flow of time.

Dr. Manhattan noticed the scene before him. He looked with interest at this lunatic who believed in his existence and was bold enough to capture his messenger alive.

He did take away the life essence of New 52 Superman and Lois. After New 52 Superman died, New 52 Lois also died. This was due to the impact of the self-healing behavior of the super-time stream. It is impossible for two Lois to exist in one universe.

In the New 52, ​​Superman and Lois' bodies were destroyed, and their souls returned to the arms of Ms. Death, but their life essence remained.

These things carry their past history, every trace they have left throughout the multiverse, just like the essence of the once mortal Mobius.

As long as the essence still exists in the DC multiverse, their traces will not disappear.

Originally, Dr. Manhattan was going to use Superman's father Jor-El to manipulate the Poltergeist, and then use the Poltergeist to fuse the essence of these N-supers with the P-supers to artificially create a complete Superman for himself.

After watching the drama that Superman must exist, he needed a complete Superman to conduct subsequent experiments.

After fusing p-super and n-super, he was not only able to observe how the core of the universe was re-fused, but he was also able to use the complete super to further deconstruct the entire multiverse.

However, this experiment was interrupted halfway. Ever since Batman Dragon caused that disaster, a series of events have happened one after another. Now even P Chao is gone, so there is no way to merge N Chao's essence with him.

But this does not mean that the essence of nchao is useless to him.

This kind of thing can only be created by a superman, and even Dr. Manhattan cannot replicate it. Why did the foolish owl ask him for this thing?

"Our multiverse has already lost a Superman. Now the only way to save the multiverse is to create another Superman. In the entire multiverse, the only one who can be Superman is Clark in N52, because he is an idealist Superman who represents hope."

"No superman from any parallel universe can replace him, because they can't bring hope. Or to be more specific--"

Yu Xiao said: "Don't you want to see if N52 Superman can be resurrected? Don't you want to know where P52 Superman will be after he is resurrected?"

"Don't you want to try this possibility? Have you ever thought that my request for his essence from you is actually a process of self-salvation for the entire multiverse?"

He asked several questions in a row, causing Dr. Manhattan to fall into deep thought.

He tried to adjust the timeline to see the future, but then realized that the timeline had been cut in half by Batman's dragon, and he couldn't see the future even if he wanted to.

He tried to find precedents in the past beyond the time stream, but found none.

He knew that it was difficult to do it with just an essence, and he didn't know how the other party was going to create a superman who could withstand the multiverse with an essence that didn't even have a soul.

The other party looks confident and well-planned.

But even if the other party can do it, the appearance of two supermen at the same time will cause the multiverse to collapse.

One core dies, so the multiverse creates another core, but the newly created core is suddenly taken away, and the old core suddenly comes back to life. When the new core comes back, will the two cores be together?
It's like someone having an open-chest heart surgery to replace their heart. After the surgery, the new heart is gone and the old heart starts beating again.

If at this time, he forced the new heart back in...what would happen?
Does the entire physiological structure of a person change, turning him into a freak with two hearts? Or does a variety of problems make both hearts unable to work, causing the person to die of heart failure?

Or did this person fight back so hard that he blew up the new heart and the doctor who was trying to put it in?
The future of the super time stream is unpredictable, and the future of the current timeline has been truncated.

At this moment, Dr. Manhattan's curiosity overwhelmed his concern for the safety of the entire multiverse.

He is willing to risk the collapse of the entire multiverse in order to try to figure out the mystery, and this is exactly the nature of Dr. Manhattan.

So he waved his hand, and Yuxiao soon saw two blue shadows appear in front of him.

interesting.
