What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 797 So you choose to skip the battle and stab the blade into the heart!
There is no point in saving it.

This is true.

When Chen Tao and his team defeat the Laughing Bat, rescue the escaped timeline, and take back the time he stole, restoring the entire history to the normal state of the main universe and branch timeline, all his so-called rescue of this timeline will no longer exist.

This piece of history will be preserved at the top of the super time stream like the wrong timeline of Heroes Day, becoming an unknown story.

One day it will be completely forgotten.

But the so-called salvation is the meaning itself.

"All the blackness of decay... has disappeared?"

The superhero who is neither alive nor dead, named Frankenstein, stared blankly at the vast land in front of him.

"Yes, you can start your new life on this land..."

Well, although this new life will return to the main universe as Chen Tao takes this timeline away from the state of being taken away by the Laughing Bat, the so-called new life will never come.

All people will be reset by history, and then return to the empty main universe timeline at this time, return to their original positions, and return to their original peaceful and warm daily lives.

The terror that befell this corrupt country was nothing but a horrible dream.

But at least... at least Chen Tao can still say this now.

At least at this moment, the people gathered there were jubilant. They were celebrating the salvation of their history, celebrating all this, celebrating the non-existent beautiful future.

Their joy and happiness at this moment is the meaning of Chen Tao's actions.

We just raised our glasses in joy...

But he didn't ask when the banquet would end.

The past cannot be retrieved, the future is too vague, at least for now...

It's all so real.

Those tears of surprise, those decades of waiting from the perspective of life in the timeline of the arrival of the British country...

The hatred for the rotting black corpses, the regret, sorrow, and pain of destroyed homes.

All of this disappeared in cheers at this moment.

At least for this moment, that's all.

All so real.

"Okay, Mr. Future, it's up to you to tell us what to do next. I trust you very much."

Chen Tao turned around and said to the old Huo Rong.

Behind him, Superboy-Prime landed there leisurely.

Although Chen Tao said this, his eyes were always on Superboy-Prime.

The Anti-Monitor is now killing Arcane in the main universe timeline and is not here, so now is a good time to add value to Superboy-Prime.

Chen Tao never gave up on influencing Superboy-Prime. Many fools think that they can stop influencing a person after they find that he cannot be persuaded, but this is absolutely a fallacy.

Attitude change is a long process and no effort will be truly useless.

But for Chen Tao, even if he changed a little...

Also good.

So when he was thinking about what excuse he could use to get Superboy Prime to go with him to contact the people below, Chen Tao heard the old man Huo Rong say:

"Before the Anti-Monitor comes back, you need to go down and appease the people."

He said: "I need time to deduce the history of this universe to its original trajectory, and all this requires the people below to fully accept the fact that the corrupt black disaster that has plagued them for most of their lives has completely disappeared."

Chen Tao was stunned for a moment, then he and the old Huo Rong looked at each other, and the other party immediately understood his look.

After seeing the other party's understanding look, Chen Tao almost burst into tears. Over the years, when he was fighting against the Monitor during the Darkseid War, he winked at his Justice League teammates countless times, but they only responded with a confused expression every time.

But this time.

Finally someone understood what he was doing...

It seemed as if he could obviously communicate telepathically, so there was no need to wink.

hateful.

All in all, Chen Tao and the old Huo Rong cooperated perfectly.

"Then I'll go down alone..."

"No, you should go down with Superboy-Prime and appease those people. Those people have seen what Superboy-Prime has sacrificed and his achievements in this rescue operation. The most important hero cannot be absent."

Old Huo Rong found an excuse for Chen Tao, and then Chen Tao paused and said:

"Then let's go down." He tried to act as matter-of-factly as possible.

Superboy-Prime did so, and it was a great breakthrough.

Chen Tao wanted to do just that. He wanted to let Superboy Prime experience the feeling of being a hero again. He wanted him to experience the feeling of being surrounded by a crowd, and experience the feeling of being a hero that Superboy Prime had not experienced for a long time, or even had long forgotten.

Among the crowd, Chen Tao quietly stepped back, leaving the center of the stage to Superboy-Prime.

He let Superboy-Prime be surrounded by people, who rushed to thank him like mortals chasing after Jesus.

He constantly uses his telepathic powers to check on anyone who comes near Superboy-Prime.

If at this moment there was some psychopathic saint or idiot who played a game of ingratitude with Superboy-Prime and said something that raised people's blood pressure, such as "He killed so many zombies; they were once human beings, too", it would drive the little devil completely crazy.

Don't think that Chen Tao's precautions are outrageous. There is no shortage of people in this world. Stupid people are the most difficult to predict, and the damage they cause is greater than that of bad people.

While monitoring, Chen Tao secretly observed the corner of Superboy Supreme's mouth. Even though he was surrounded by countless people and experienced scenes that could even be sung as the hymn Hallelujah, there was still no expression on Superboy Supreme's face.

He was standing there only to complete the task given to him by old Huo Rong, and he treated these people like grass.

Chen Tao was a little anxious. If the Supreme Little...

He was halfway through his thought when he suddenly saw the corner of Superboy-Prime's mouth curl up slightly.

Just ticked it.

Very good, very good, I mean...

It's okay, it's better than nothing.

……

……

…Click.

The Laughing Bat frowned.

"Batman Dragon saw right through my plan? How... Never mind."

A gloom arose in the Laughing Bat's heart.

He gave Batman Dragon and his teammates a multiple-choice question. No matter what they chose, it should be within his plan. However, they forcibly opened up a new option between the two answers. This weird feeling of being seen through was the reason why the Batman Who Laughs couldn't laugh.

He was keenly aware of the danger. It would be explainable if Batman Dragon could see through his routine, but it was a bit strange that the other party could so smoothly deflect the history of the timeline of the arrival of the British Empire.

He is the Laughing Bat, and the disgusting thing about his plan is that the multiple-choice questions he gives you are all forced-choice questions. It's not that you can make up a new answer out of thin air just because you see that two answers are wrong.

Under normal circumstances, even if Batman Dragon and others saved that timeline, the Corruption Rising had already been merged by the Bat Who Laughs into a new timeline consisting of three timelines.

Even though this branched timeline was a broken thing that kept looping, it was enough to hold back Batman and the Dragon, allowing the Bat Who Laughs to use this timeline to steal [one year] of multiverse history.

This is the biggest gain for the Laughing Bat, everything he does is for this. If this goal cannot be achieved, then he will make himself a public enemy, which will be a pure loss in the end.

Now the timeline of the Rise of the Corruption Kingdom has been separated from the connection of the three timelines it constructed and returned to the main universe timeline. This not only makes it easier for Batman and the Dragon to reach the Bat Who Laughs, but also reduces the time that the Bat Who Laughs can be separated from the main universe timeline from one year.

"So are you okay or not, you evil-minded nobleman?"

The Laughing Bat said.

Mad Laughter is still trying his best to manipulate the Cosmic Tuning Fork. With the gift of Papetua and the support of the Hand of the Void, he can compete with the Owl and the Anti-Monitor in the control of the Cosmic Tuning Fork.

Sending the Cosmic Tuning Fork to the timeline of the current universe was definitely the failure of the Anti-Monitor and the Monitor. With this artifact, Laughing Mad can do many things that he could never do before.

This was also the important reason why he was determined to push things to the current point.

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle…

Next to him, a monster with huge eyes poked half of its head out from a foam-like space crack: "Don't think this will be easy, Laughing Bat... Woo..."

He seemed to want to say something to warn the Laughing Bat not to be so arrogant, but before he could say it, his mouth was pulled by a huge force and he couldn't make any sound. He was now trying his best to tear a piece of flesh from the multiverse. Stealing the history of the multiverse was not an easy task.

It's like tearing flesh from a person. The fact that Dr. Manhattan was able to steal 10 years is equivalent to cutting off a leg of the multiverse, with bones and tendons. For example, the history of the Justice Society and the Legion of Super-Heroes were all cut off by the powerful force, directly turning the multiverse into a cripple on the spot.

The Laughing Bat and his friends also wanted to join in, but they didn't have the strength of Dr. Manhattan. Not to mention cutting bones and tendons, even cutting meat was difficult.

But it doesn't matter.

"They have already broken through one universe, and there are two more universes for them to break through slowly."

He laughed wildly and said, "There is nothing wrong with my plan. Even if they are faster than the original plan, no matter what they choose, the final result will be..."

But before he could finish his words, the Laughing Bat found his eyes falling to the ground.

what happened?

Oh, it turns out that the head fell off.

What, wait?

In an instant, the timeline refreshed again, and the laughing head returned to his head again.

"Did you notice anything wrong just now?"

He suddenly turned his head and asked the evil-minded dignitary next to him. The Laughing Bat felt that things were completely out of his control.

"Wait, history has been broken..." said the evil noble. It is not a creature from the DC multiverse and is not affected by the timeline overlay.

"That's not right. The three divergent timelines have clearly merged together. How could you..."

The evil-minded nobleman spoke halfway and then stopped talking.

He jumped to the conclusion.

"Your history is in..."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

Crazy Laugh was speechless and he fell to the ground, just like Doctor Owl before. His history was affected, but he was protected from collapse by Papetua's power and the Hand of the Void, just like Doctor Owl's history was also protected by Dr. Manhattan's power, which caused such a strange phenomenon.

His body was shaking with laughter, and all kinds of history were constantly being written on him. Some were beheaded, some were killed in various tragic ways...

The Laughing Bat hurriedly used the power he got from the Hand of the Void to calm himself down. Some purple halos wrapped around his body and he climbed up from the ground, the smile on his face no longer visible.

He spoke very quickly:
"Listen up, Evil Mind Powers, we must immediately head to the timeline of Doomsday Future and stop Batman Dragon and the others there first."

"What about stealing history?"

"Leave it to your deputy. It doesn't matter if it's slow. We have to stop Batman Dragon first, otherwise we won't have a chance to steal again."

"That will be slow—"

"Even if it's slower, it's better than what we have now."

As the Laughing Bat spoke, he stretched out his hand, trying to open the space portal, but then there was another click.

"Ugh!!!!"

The Laughing Bat's arm seemed to be twisted by something invisible, drained like a rag, and then recovered quickly.

"Ha! Haha. Hahaha."

Laughing wildly and panting violently.

"The backup plan I left in the doomsday future timeline was broken."

How is this possible? He left a trap in the future timeline that is similar to the arrival of the British Empire. Unless the other party knew about it in advance, how could they avoid such a problem where no matter which choice they made, it would be wrong?
But he didn't have time to get angry, because the Flashpoint timeline exploded immediately afterwards, and the ensuing backlash swept through Kuangxiao's whole body in an instant. The purple energy on his body flashed wildly, helping him resist the erasure of the timeline.

Now, Kuang Xiao no longer has any legal basis for his existence. According to the rules of the multiverse, he has bound his history to this forked timeline composed of three timelines. Now that these three timelines have collapsed, Kuang Xiao should be reset to the history of "before the creation of the forked timeline."

The reason why he has not been reset now is entirely because of the protection of the Hand of the Void.

"Damn it, they broke through two universes so quickly. How could it be so fast? This doesn't match my plan..."

The laughter was rapid, and then he heard a voice behind him.

"That doesn't fit in with your plan, does it?"

He turned his head.

A drop of cold sweat fell from his head.

"When did you guys show up here?"

"So fast?"
