What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 796: To You Who Have No Future, But Have a Future

I am Huo Rong.

I fooled everyone.

At this time, I was following behind Superboy-Prime and Batman Dragon, while the Anti-Monitor, who was controlling Barbatos, was wearing a black robe and leading the way.

To me, this is history that has already happened. Compared to the dark and desperate days I have experienced, the world now is as precious as gold.

I have no ability to save the multiverse, nor do I want to. I just need to take my world away before the disaster happens, and the rest has nothing to do with me.

Batman the Dragon…Superboy-Prime…

They were strong, clever, and brave, but the brave ones died, while the cowardly ones lived.

I have always been a timid person.

Thinking of this, Huo Rong felt a little pain in his heart, but soon he regained his composure.

"We're about to enter the first line of defense of the Batman Who Laughs," he told Superboy-Prime. "What you don't know is that the Batman Who Laughs actually controls the Mobius Chair."

"My artifact." The Anti-Monitor's voice lowered twice.

"Indeed," replied the old man, "but the laughter has taken away your influence, and you can no longer control it."

"The knowledge that the Laughing Bat gained from the Mobius Chair turned the timeline of the Corruption Kingdom into a maze."

Huo Rong said:

“If we just barge into the history that he took away, we’ll be stuck in that timeline and it’ll be hard to get out;
But if he intends to use brute force to break this timeline, it will help the Laughing Bat create a huge amount of crisis energy, speeding up his stealing of [a year] from the multiverse. "

"So Crazy Laugh gave us a choice, and whatever we chose was part of his plan."

Chen Tao said.

"Yes, so." Elder Huo Rong said, "Let's save this timeline."

So when Chen Tao and his monster version of the Justice League landed on the timeline of the arrival of the Corrupted Country, they saw rotting corpses everywhere and the vast land was in ruins.

Huo Rong gave a coordinate, and then all of them appeared there. This was the last line of defense of All Things Green and All Things Red, a small area. The person who controlled it was Green Lantern Medfield, a Green Lantern who mastered All Things Green.

When Chen Tao and his companions appeared in this last green area of ​​all things, they were discovered by the Green Lantern.

He flew out of the central building of the gathering place as soon as possible and saw a group of people in front of him, none of whom he recognized.

Superboy-Prime looked around at the withered green plants around him, as well as the poor ordinary people and animals taking shelter among these plants.

“How sad,” he whispered. “In a perfect world, you wouldn’t have to suffer this fate.”

He eliminated his empathy with this reason, and Chen Tao saw it all.

“Speed ​​up,” the Anti-Monitor urged.

"Don't worry, what should we do?" Chen Tao said to the Anti-Monitor, then he turned around and faced the old Huo Rong:

"Mr. Future?"

"You used five-dimensional magic to take this gathering place into your possession, and then Superboy-Prime swung a gust of wind at the earth from outer space."

He gave a longitude and latitude.

"A punch from this position can kill most of the Black of Decay creatures on Earth, and then the Black of Decay will enter a weakened state. Then the Anti-Monitor will use the dark matter cosmic energy to find and kill Anton Arcane, the main universe active in this timeline."

The old Huo Rong said: "It must be done by the Anti-Monitor, he kills more thoroughly."

"And finally," said the old Huo Rong, "I have a way to completely deviate the history of this universe from its original trajectory, and then the defense line of Crazy Laughter will be broken."

They said this as if no one was around, leaving the Green Lantern Medfield next to them confused. He was a Lantern who controlled the green of all things. In the original timeline of the coming of the Corruption Kingdom, he should have fought against the Black of Decay together with Swamp Thing and Animal Man.

But now, the swamp monster in the main universe's timeline was taken away by Old Man Void and merged with Thomas Wayne's history, while Animal Man is missing, most likely kidnapped by Laughing Maniac.

So now the Lantern is the tallest among the short ones and has completely become the protector of this timeline.

He listened to the discussions of the group of people in front of him and felt that something was not right.

"What on earth are you talking about? What does this mean?"

he asked.

"I see, so let's get started now, Batman." The Anti-Monitor said, "Let's speed up and get rid of the laughter as soon as possible."

Let’s get rid of the laughter as soon as possible, and then we’ll start to fight.

Chen Tao understands it very well.

Their alliance was fragile, held together only temporarily by the presence of Mad Laughter.

But even so, Chen Tao still has to do one thing first.

"Everyone." His voice suddenly rang in the ears of everyone in this gathering place.

Ordinary farmers who barely make a living by farming in the apocalypse. Guards who maintain law and order in this chaotic wave... and the former superhero Steel Man who took refuge in this gathering place with a wrench. When he heard the voice, he was helping the base repair the few mechanical equipment.

They all heard Chen Tao's voice.

"Dear people." He took a deep breath: "We are late."

In fact, Chen Tao knew in his heart that this timeline had no future. When the Laughing Bat stole this timeline from the main universe of the DC multiverse, the universe formed by this history lost the ability to extend downward. When it reached the end of the story, this history would automatically restart to the beginning of the story, over and over again.

This is also the reason why the old Huo Rong still planned to join the World Forger after intending to take away his hometown and the history of his hometown.

He and his history need to take shelter in a multiverse, even if it is a baby multiverse, otherwise this rootless history like duckweed will soon wither.

However, Kuang Xiao never thought about sustainable development. These three timelines are just tools for him to create crisis energy.

So even though Chen Tao knew that everything he was doing and saying was meaningless, when this timeline was restarted, the people would forget what he said;
When this timeline is reinserted back into the main universe timeline, these people will also be reset to the normal state of the main universe timeline, and they will not know what happened.

But just like the sacrifice, the point is not what to say to those who may lose their memory, but to those who can remember today.

He knew that the people could not understand what he was saying, but he only wanted those who he wanted to understand to understand. He was not qualified to stand on high and discipline all of them, he could only tell them before they all forgot today...

Don't give in.

His eyes glanced at Yingxiong Ri who was standing silently in the crowd.

Other people's definition of you cannot change yourself, my friend. Whatever you want to be comes from your freedom, not from other people's definition.

"There is neither truth nor falsehood in this world, only facts that exist. For you, the future is too vague and the past is too heavy, so just live in the present."

Everyone in the gathering place raised their heads. They had long lost all their spirit in the gloomy end of the world.

No one knew what Chen Tao was talking about. They were standing too low and couldn't see the overall situation.

But despite this, they still heard a feeling in this sound...

Something called hope was being spread to the entire gathering place by the person standing in the sky.

Some people cursed loudly at these inexplicable words, some turned a deaf ear to Chen Tao's voice, and some people who were driven to mental breakdown by the doomsday repeatedly shivered in their broken houses to escape reality.

But more people just listened silently.

Chen Tao wanted to do that, but he was tongue-tied.

He's trying.

"Existence is reasonable. Whether you live or die, it should be determined by your free will, not by others."

"I have always wanted to manipulate everything, everyone. I have always wanted to manipulate everything and create a beautiful enough world, but... such a thing will never exist."

Superboy-Prime remained noncommittal. He had no interest in arguing with Batman on this point.

He could see that Batman wanted to persuade him by talking to these people, but he didn't buy it at all. He was not the hero next to him.

"Stop talking nonsense, Bat..." The Anti-Monitor opened his mouth and was about to say something, but was immediately held down on the shoulder by Superboy-Prime.

"Let him speak."

"Come on, you're not really stupid enough to waste your time on these..."

"I say." Superboy-Prime squeezed the Anti-Monitor's shoulder, "Let Batman continue."

The Anti-Monitor stared at him for several seconds.

“It’s a complete waste of time.”

"Inevitable, waste of time."

Superboy-Prime said, with a slightly ferocious smile on his face.

So the Anti-Monitor finally gave in. There was no point in him arguing with this lunatic, because who knew if he would suddenly attack now.

Superboy-Prime loosened his hand and looked at Batman-Prime who was still giving his nonsensical speech to all the people gathered there.

Like Batman, Superboy-Prime isn't actually stupid, and even if he were, he should have guessed it.

What will happen after defeating the Laughing Bat? He knew very well that these people would not let him take possession of all the crisis energy he got in the end.

The Anti-Monitor went through a lot of trouble to occupy Barbatos' body and temporarily deprive him of control. Was it just to selflessly get rid of his mother who was about to come down from the wall?

"But just live in the present moment, follow the direction of your free will, whether you are trapped in a bottle, being pulled by puppet strings, or trapped by the beautiful past, never give up."

“Don’t give up your free will, don’t compromise with everything, and become a zombie drifting with the tide. As long as you are not dead, the future will surely come to you.”

"And as for those things that prevent you from existing in the present moment..."

Chen Tao said in a low voice.

He stretched out his hand, and in an instant, the divine power of the fifth dimension enveloped the entire gathering place.

“That’s our responsibility.”

"What..." Green Lantern wanted to say something, but the old Void pointed at him, and his emotional spectrum energy disappeared from his body.

It fell straight to the ground like a green fly, and before Chen Tao was about to use the fifth dimension to save effort to create a tray to prevent him from falling to his death, Green Lantern Medfield's hands and feet turned into plants, helping him to land on the ground like Spider-Man.

"What..." He realized that the people in front of him...might be beyond his imagination.

He swallowed.

"Who are you?"

"You don't need to know who we are. After today, the sun will rise as usual, and when you wake up one day, you may not be the same person you are today."

Chen Tao stared at the Green Lantern: "Every day we pass, we are saying goodbye to our past selves... moving further and further away. We are a ship that is constantly replacing parts."

In an instant, the transparent barrier protected the entire gathering place.

"But we are still us, we exist, we live, and we never stop."

Chen Tao lowered his head: "Very good, all living creatures on this part of the Earth in the entire timeline are in this gathering place, even the creatures of the Metal Spirit."

Then Chen Tao snapped his fingers again, and immediately afterwards, Frankenstein from the Shadow Bureau, this neither alive nor dead Shadow Bureau agent and his wife also appeared in the gathering place with confused looks on their faces.

Frankenstein's sword was still stained with the blood of the Black Corpse of Decay.

"What's going on?!" He quickly spotted Chen Tao, rushed up and grabbed his neck: "What have you done? I could have been..."

"Whatever plans you had, it doesn't matter now."

Chen Tao said: "You are looking for a way to save the world through hacking and killing. I guess it's right. But now we have a better solution."

"What are you kidding..."

"Shh, be quiet. It's best not to talk so much when watching a magic show."

Chen Tao stretched out his hand and pointed at the planet in the distance.

next moment.

Superman-Prime appeared as if he had teleported, his entire body suspended in mid-air, with the cape behind him fluttering in the air under the agitation of the biological stance.

"What?" Frankenstein pointed at Superboy-Prime. "What is he? He..."

But before he could finish his words, a bomb exploded in the silent universe.

Boo!
Frankenstein clearly felt that all the decay and darkness on the earth exploded in an instant.

"I told you, we are here to save the world."

Chen Tao told him so.

"What are you asking me? Something that can save the world."
