What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 835: Bat-like double act, Barbatos was defrauded
Barbatos realized he had made a mistake. Trying to threaten Batman with death when he was already not afraid of death was one of the stupidest things he could do.

People are planning to take out the nth metal hammer, then lift up the baby Darkseid and shoot him directly in the face. What else does he have to worry about?

Chen Tao and Barbatos both realized at the same time that the miniature bomb held in the main universe bat's hand was his plan B.

Chen Tao was sure that if it really came to the point where it was necessary to detonate this bomb to repel Barbatos, then the Sixth Dimension Armor would detach from Batman's body before detonating, and then take away the body of the main universe Batman in the mess after the detonation.

This sounds a bit funny. How could the body of an ordinary human being survive the explosion?

But at this time, the main universe Batman had been transformed into a portal by Barbatos. His body was full of metal, and these metals were not consumed by the act of opening the portal itself.

So theoretically, if Barbatos can survive the explosion, it can recycle the body of the main universe bat and then continue to accomplish its own purpose, but our Bruce will certainly not allow this to happen.

Although Darkseid was driven away by Chen Tao and Barbatos, he was only driven away, not dead.

The main universe bat can still find the other party and force the other party to voluntarily give him a shuttle.

Only by being sent into infinite timelines and parallel universes by the Omega Judgment can one evade Barbatos' capture.

As long as the plan of the main universe Batman succeeds, it will become a mobile flying coffin that keeps shuttling between different timelines. Barbatos will never be able to catch him, open his coffin, take out his body, and then use his body.

Barbatos looked at the Batman of the main universe. He saw Batman's determination and fearlessness in the other's cold eyes. Haha, Barbatos just felt that it was really fucked.

"Get out of here." The Batman of the main universe expressed his demands clearly and distinctly. He retreated step by step, and then a portal behind him was opened by the sixth-dimensional armor, but this portal was extinguished by Barbatos in an instant, and the Batman of the main universe was unable to go in after all.

His eyes suddenly turned colder.

"Get lost and let me go."

Barbatos said nothing.

"Alas, that's not how you fight." He heard Batman Dragon say beside him, "If the other party had just detonated it, he would have been dead."

"What makes you think I only have one bomb like this, Barbatos?" The Prime Universe Batman raised the Astral Brain a little higher, and then he raised another thing that reacted to the Anti-Monitor's Astral Brain:

The observer's finger, and a large mass of dark matter energy like jelly, and then seeing that Barbatos had no reaction, the main universe bat showed a crazy look in his eyes.

Chen Tao's eyes widened beside him.

No, are you pretending to be crazy too?
This is my skill!
How dare you use my skills against my teammates?!
Then he turned his head and looked at Barbatos. No, is this true? Do you believe it?
First it was the Batman Who Laughs, then me, and then the Bat of the Main Universe. Are you, Barbatos, a collector who has a special liking for some kind of [Crazy Batman]? As long as Batman goes crazy, you will obey him?
Is this the original setting??!
Barbatos didn't know what Chen Tao was thinking behind his serious expression, but in fact he was indeed a little bit pinched by the Batman of the main universe.

As long as the main universe Batman does not turn himself into a mobile coffin, Barbatos' plan may eventually succeed; but if he does that, all the preparations made over the years will be completely wasted.

But Barbatos was not a god of the sixth dimension, and he did not understand why the World Forger could roam around the main universe without restrictions. It was obvious that the World Forger would not teach him this method. Once the bats in the main universe were gone, his idea of ​​dominating the main universe would be cut off.

So even though he was reluctant to compromise, Barbatos still compromised.

"Wait a minute, calm down," he said.

"Yes, Lord Barbatos was just joking just now." Then he heard the voice of Batman Dragon.

damn it.

Barbatos pinched his nose and accepted it. He forced a somewhat ugly smile, tacitly agreeing that it was a joke.

"I am going to open the space portal and leave now. Don't any of you try to stop me."

Then the next sentence from the main universe Batman immediately made Barbatos a little anxious.

The bat from the main universe has no intention of changing his mind. This guy is determined to turn himself into a flying coffin and prevent Barbatos from setting foot in the main universe for the rest of his life.

Barbatos knew that in the eyes of the bats in the main universe, he was now a terrifying and evil demon. No matter what he said, the other party would never listen, but he didn't want to give up the idea, so he turned his head and looked at Batman Dragon with a look that said, "It's time to take action."

then……

Then Barbatos did not wait for Batman Dragon to take action.

Damn Batman Dragon, he actually looked at me with a look that said "you owe me a favor".

Barbatos got angry for a moment, and then his IQ suddenly came back online. He realized that Batman Dragon actually wanted to do something that he didn't want the main universe Batman to die.

Although he could not read the other party's thoughts because Batman's dragon had escaped his control, it was precisely this inability to read that caused Lord Barbatos to use his brain again after a long period of disuse.

He once noticed Batman Dragon's desire to retire, and just as the death of the main universe Batman would make his desire to invade the main universe become increasingly slim, this death would also make Batman Dragon's retirement even more distant.

So even if Barbatos was not there, Batman Dragon would not allow the main universe bat to pout its face and be shot by Darkseid's rays.

Then why should I be in such a hurry? Let me see your performance.

Chen Tao curled his lips. Barbatos finally realized this. Very good, he came to a good conclusion, but we want him to think that this conclusion is inconsistent with the facts.

So he spoke.

"From a principled point of view, I slightly object to your action."

Barbatos heard Batman Dragon say to the Prime Universe Batman.

Then Batman Dragon talked about some benefits of the main universe bat turning into a flying coffin, and then changed the subject:
"But in this way, you will not be able to protect the main universe timeline."

Everything was normal so far. Barbatos listened quietly beside him. He knew that Batman Dragon would start persuading the main universe bat and try to get the other party not to do such stupid things again.

"So, I have a plan. You can put your consciousness into a clone body, and then the original body filled with metal will become the flying mobile coffin - I am Batman too, right?
We never care how many times the parts of the Ship of Theseus are replaced, we just need to ensure that our goal can be achieved and the world is still saved... that's enough."

Barbatos turned his head sharply and looked at Batman the Dragon.

Damn it, this is a betrayal!
"No, you can't." Then Barbatos heard the main universe Batman say: "Any clones or other means that try to carry my memory will collapse. Inexplicably, no one can inherit the name of Batman..."

He whispered, "Actually, there is no need for inheritance."

Chen Tao knew what Batman was talking about. As early as the New 52 era, the main universe's Batman had tried to create a large number of clones to help him input his consciousness into these clones after his death one day, and then let them continue to be Batman and pass on the name. But he always failed. Even before he died together with the Joker in the Batman Endgame event, this plan had no successful cases, so it was useless.

Only Batman himself used this program to restore his memory after he lost it.

This proves once again that only Batman himself can bear his own painful memories.

"Not the clones you've seen before."

Chen Tao said: "The reason why those clones can't survive is simply because you are Batman, one of the most important immune cells in the DC multiverse, so you are not allowed to commit suicide from the beginning of your design."

"But I, the fifth dimension, will help you reshape your clone, which is equivalent to helping your soul find a new home."

Batman from the main universe seemed a little moved. Barbatos looked at the two of them and suddenly had a doubt:
Could this all be a double act between the main universe Bat and Batman's Dragon, just an attempt to manipulate his behavior?
When thinking about this, Barbatos suddenly calmed down.

He can't read Batman Dragon's mind now, but that doesn't mean he can't read the main universe Bat's.

He had also read the other party's thoughts before and was sure that the other party wanted to detonate the bomb and die with him from the bottom of his heart. At the same time, he could be taken by the armored belt to find Darkseid and complete his own goal.

Otherwise, Barbatos wouldn't have compromised so quickly.

Now he wanted to see if the main universe bats really thought that way...

Barbatos read it and he got the correct answer, which showed that what the other party did was indeed from the heart.

Chen Tao was watching from the side. He guessed what Barbatos was thinking and knew what he was doing, but unfortunately, the main universe Batman really wanted to do whatever he wanted "from the bottom of his heart" because he cleverly turned himself into a fool!
This set of smooth little combos could deceive the World Forger and Barbatos, so it would be an easy task.

Gods like Barbatos and World Forger are so dependent on their own abilities that they never thought that anyone could fool their mind-reading, although it is true that no one would.

Batman in the main universe lowered the IQ of his enemies by actively lowering his own IQ. This was simply a genius idea and a tactical genius. Chen Tao was amazed.

I will never think about strategies for victory, I only need to think about strategies that can lead to failure, and then stand with my enemies. My enemies will read my mind and automatically execute my plans that are prone to failure, and finally suffer a crushing defeat.

Barbatos was finally at his wit's end.

“No, this can’t be done.”

He interrupted Chen Tao:

"I... don't need to..."

"Of course, we can also negotiate with Lord Barbatos so that he can't use you as a portal to invade the main universe timeline, right?"

Barbatos turned his head, and Batman the Dragon finally said the words he wanted to hear.

"And in exchange, Lord Barbatos is willing to teach you how to control the metals in your body. With the sixth dimension armor you are wearing now, you should be able to easily control the metals injected into your body by Barbatos."

Chen Tao observed the expression on Barbatos's face before continuing.

Barbatos looked a little unhappy, but he did not object; he just accepted it.

"Then destroy the basic circuit of the so-called portal that Barbatos left on you using those metals. You can use these metals to strengthen yourself.

Do you know that after being strengthened by metal, you will surpass the mortal body? You should know Hawkman and Hawkgirl. It was after they came into contact with n-metal, one of the metals, that they gained the powerful strength to fight Superman -"

Chen Tao boasted casually, exaggerating the abilities of Hawkman and Hawkgirl to the sky.

"No, I never use metal to gain abilities, nor do I actively strengthen myself."

The main universe bat said so.

Chen Tao knew that the main universe bat would say such a thing.

"That's your freedom, Bat. Don't worry, I absolutely respect your freedom 200%. Even if you don't use these metals to strengthen yourself, you can manipulate them to ensure that these metals do not become weapons of Barbatos.

"But I just want to introduce you to a possibility."

"A possibility that you can stop Barbatos without becoming a clone and still retain the strength to deal with the World Forger."

Barbatos heard Batman Dragon say:
"I think the conditions we offer are quite generous." Chen Tao said, "We want to join forces to face the World Forger, right?"

He turned to Barbatos and pointed.

"Lord Barbatos will help us, right!"

He turned to look at Barbatos.

There was no way Barbatos would have agreed, but at this point his demands had been repeatedly compromised and then lowered again and again.

"Ok."

He said this at last.

I always feel a bit cheated...

Read the memory of Batman in the main universe again.

It seems not.

Lord Barbatos reluctantly accepted this. Compared to the main universe bats exploding directly, this all seemed acceptable.

Chen Tao blinked.

This is his plan, and also the plan of Batman in the main universe. The other party completed the construction of this plan without even thinking about it.

Wow, this is amazing.
