What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 852: Going back to the past and flying into the future! I am... a powerless, stupid lunatic!

"Whoa whoa, there you are, little monster."

Everything was still.

Chen Tao saw...

Chen Tao saw himself.

In his own universe, he faces the Anti-Monitor.

...a puppet created by the Anti-Monitor downstream of the hyper-time stream.

Chen Tao saw his past self raising his hands high, as if he was holding some light or distorted space in his hands.

He held a small section of distorted space as the hammer handle, and the hammer head...

It is the entire universe.

It's really weird, like a house with a handle growing out of its ceiling and you're grabbing the handle and trying to swing the house like a hammer, even though you're standing inside it.

In short, Chen Tao knew what was going to happen next. He was going to swing the entire universe as a hammer to smash the Anti-Monitor's puppet through the gap between the dark multiverse and the normal light multiverse, and forcibly smash the Anti-Monitor into the timeline of Earth 15...

This leads to the Earth-15 incident, which will cause the multiverse to collapse.

Chen Tao carefully looked at himself waving the universe.

He is so young.

What Chen Tao meant was...

It all seems like a lifetime ago.

But now everything has stopped, and Chen Tao saw the Anti-Monitor naturally walk down from the position where he was about to be hammered into the gap.

Yes, he walked down. Just like in a paused videotape, a person who was originally in the video walked down from his original position, revealing the cosmic gap behind him that was previously blocked by his body, while the others were still stagnant.

The Anti-Monitor walked to Chen Tao's side during this paused time, stood shoulder to shoulder with him, and looked at the Chen Tao whose past had been frozen.

"You were cute then," the Anti-Monitor said.

"What did you do?" Chen Tao asked him.

"Hey, wait, I think you seemed to have guessed that I would distort the time stream, reverse the time stream where you were killed by the World Forger, and then bring you here? You look a little surprised, but not shocked?" The Anti-Monitor said: "Come on, you are not that predictable."

"Everything that happened is just your script."

"What? No, you think too much of me..." The Anti-Monitor said, "But I am indeed a sixth-dimensional god."

He said: "Everything in front of me...how should I put it? Not only everything in front of me is a script for me."

The Anti-Monitor looked at Chen Tao and said, "Everything that has ever happened is a script for me. I can try to change it."

He said: "When you pour cement on the road, I may not be able to decide what the cement will look like. But before the cement is laid and dried, I can easily change the undried cement - can this metaphor make you, a low-level life, understand all this?"

Chen Tao grinned.

"Low-level life is not a derogatory term, little monster. Almost all life in the entire multiverse is 'low-level life' to me."

"Okay. What are you going to do?" Chen Tao said.

"Please. You are also a servant god of Barbatos. Did you know that Barbatos can easily observe the past and future beyond the time stream? He is also an expert at weaving fate. He is good at using molds to frame the direction he wants the cement to extend before pouring it out.

The Anti-Monitor said: "Although the framed history can be easily torn apart by other sixth-dimensional gods, it is undeniable that the cute little dog does possess some of the abilities of the sixth-dimensional gods... a generous gift from the World Forger." The Anti-Monitor said: "As his servant god, don't tell me you haven't learned it yet..."

"Pause time."

"I can only pause or restart time within a single universe." Chen Tao said.

"Oh, then I think you need to practice. If Barbatos firmly believes that he can do it, he should be able to temporarily stop the history of the super-time flow, but he has never tried it... But to be honest, I thought that with your intelligence, you should have learned it faster than this stupid dog Barbatos... or mastered it temporarily."

The Anti-Monitor said: "But..."

He stretched out his hand towards the past Chen Tao not far away: "Before we start the formal conversation, the past you is a bit blocking my sight, why don't I just..."

He gently waved to the past Chen Tao, and then, as if a character was erased with a mask on a video, the past Chen Tao disappeared on the spot.

Chen Tao stared at all this in a daze.

He didn't understand how the Anti-Monitor did it.

"Well, let me guess, poor Batman, thinking he was fighting the system, that he could beat that guy, and-"

"Alas."

The Anti-Monitor spread his hands. "He's here now."

"What exactly do you want from me?"

"How about this, why don't you just practice a few thousand more times to sort out your direction, okay?"

"You want me to... you want me to put an end to the Earth-15 incident myself. You want me to surrender to you at this point in time, so as to prevent the Earth-15 incident from happening, to prevent all of this, to prevent the World Forger and his Multiverse Fusion, and even to prevent the Prime Universe Superman from being taken away!"

"But I will never do that." Chen Tao said, "There must be other ways. I can..."

"I've already told you to practice a few thousand more times."

The Anti-Monitor shook his head, then he rubbed his hands, and then the Chen Tao who had disappeared in the past returned to his original position. Then the Anti-Monitor walked towards the cosmic gap, he lay down on it, and returned to his original position in the script, the super villain who was about to be smashed into the cosmic gap by a sledgehammer.

"The Riddler Edward Nygma is your man, and he has reached a cooperation with you." Chen Tao said.

"Hmmmm, clever little monster."

"Lex Luthor from the main universe, he also..."

"That's not the case. Lex Luthor just asked me some questions, and I don't mind answering him, but the fact is that Luthor has no intention of cooperating with me. It's a little troublesome guy, but in the macro perspective of the super time stream, it's just a speck of dust, isn't it?"

Chen Tao stopped talking.

Then he witnessed the Anti-Monitor snap his fingers... and Chen Tao saw history begin to move forward again.

He stood outside of history, and the Chen Tao of the past did not see his future self at all.

Chen Tao witnessed his own roar, and he saw that the Anti-Monitor seemed to be clinging to the edge of the gap very hard.

He heard his own hideous laughter and saw his raised fist and the hideous bone spurs of the person being ravaged by it.

He heard his own roar.

"...I am...a mortal in a cloak..." "...I am a self-destructor...a willing victim...a mastermind of incompetence...

"It's... a powerless, foolish lunatic!"

boom!
With a loud noise, Chen Tao suddenly opened his eyes.

He found himself on the eve of his own intrusion into the multiverse.

Standing before him was the Riddler Edward Nickmar, Hero Day, and everyone from the Dark Multiverse.

Chen Tao found himself grabbing the wrists of both Hero Day and Riddler.

He couldn't help but utter the previous half of the line...

"It's just the three of us, and our friends from the Dark Multiverse."

Then he paused and did not move forward.

"what happened?"

Chen Tao heard the questions raised by Hero Day and the heroes of the dark multiverse who were living in the metal spiritual space in his body:

"Didn't we say we were going to enter the multi-integration?"

"No, we can't enter the multi-fusion like this."

Chen Tao let go of the two people's hands, and then quickly spoke:
"The main universe Batman will sell us out, and once we enter, we will be besieged by Superboy-Prime and World Forger. It's a dead end."

He said quickly, "All the methods for entering the Multiverse provided by the main universe Batman are no longer valid. Once you enter, you will die. We must have other methods to enter the Multiverse."

He paused, then said, "The method to enter is very simple. Lantern No. 1 has also entered the Multiverse... He also has a way to enter. So now we just need to find Lantern No. 1, and then use his channel to enter the Multiverse."

Chen Tao said:

"So now we have to convince Lantern No. 1 and find him."

"The question is, how do we find Lantern No. 1?"

Chen Tao turned his head and looked at the Riddler Edward Nygma:
"The Anti-Monitor must have helped you. Therein lies the method."

He stretched out his hand and pinched the Riddler, then drew a stream of green light energy from his body.

At the same time, Horror Lantern's body began to resonate with the energy drawn from Riddler's body.

"The spectrum of emotions that resonate with Lantern No. 1."

"This will help us find Lantern Number One."

……

……

……

"You are really giving me a hard time, my friend."

In a corner outside the DC universe, there is the newly born, brand new baby multiverse.

"My friend, I have persuaded you many times... Look at all this. I have proved to you with facts that a brand new multiverse is far better and more perfect than the original chaotic and disordered one."

The World Forger sighed.

In front of him was the Main Universe Superman (P-Super) wearing pajamas, sitting at the dining table and sipping milk silently.

He doesn't speak.

"Nothing can bring you to your knees, can it?" said the World Forger.

"I tortured you endlessly. You were tortured for such a long time that it lasted until the end of time. You were covered in wounds and there was not a single piece of healthy flesh on your body...but you still did not give in."

"I used my emotions to seduce you. I allowed you to have a new family and a new child even though you lost your memory. I manipulated you by reversing your memory. I created endless identities for you, rich, beggar, and I created for you every happy life that humans can imagine...

But this can't stop you. I have tried every method that humans and gods can think of, but you will never be tempted. "

"I don't understand what's so persistent about all this...why?"

"Batman from the main universe has come to persuade you hundreds and thousands of times, but he has not been able to shake your mind at all."

"Even if I strip you of your memories, you can still recover them; even if I distort your personality, you can still recover; even if I erase your memories and rewrite you into a blank sheet of paper, you can still recover your past memories and personality, and then try to punch me again...

Even the family I created for you can't stop you.

I really can't do anything for you. For a sixth-dimensional god, do you know how shocking this is? "

To be honest, the World Forger had mixed feelings.

If there is anyone in this world who can really be indifferent to everything, then Superman of the main universe is definitely one of them. Moreover, he is the core of the universe and the World Forger cannot distort him.

Just as Emperor Joker once tried to turn Superman into a clown when he obtained the fifth-dimensional divine power to change the world, he was still able to awaken and break the Emperor Joker's barrier with a pair of iron fists.

Taking the World Forger as an example, even though his power is much stronger than that of the fifth-dimensional creature, the result is no different when facing Superman.

Superman still had no reaction. After experiencing such long and terrible torture, Superman had learned how to save his energy, but the World Forger knew what kind of fire the other party was brewing.

"It's a pity, my friend. If you insist on doing this, even I can't help you." The World Forger confronted the other party for a while, and finally, he seemed to have made up his mind.

"The Anti-Monitor has already started to act, and there is also Batman Dragon..."

He was a little rambling, as if he was trying to relieve some stress while performing some extremely dangerous operation.

In other words, he was explaining it to himself, blocking his last bit of retreat.

"If the Anti-Monitor hadn't escaped, if the Void Hand and our mother hadn't simultaneously attempted to resurrect... if it hadn't been for Mandrak... if all this wasn't so urgent, I'd have plenty of time to discuss this with you bit by bit. We would have become very good friends, Clark, and we would have found a way to accept each other and create a beautiful world."

"But it's too late. Everything is too late. I don't want to erase your willpower or torture you. All of this is meaningless to me. There is nothing interesting about it..."

The World Forger said: "But the fusion of diversity cannot fail. That's all I can do... I'm sorry."

Then, the World Forger stretched out his hand and once again cleansed all the memories of Superman in the main universe. He didn't know how many times he had done it, but Superman could always find himself and continue his heroic journey.

Superman has developed resistance, how long can he strip Superman of his memories and personality...

It's getting shorter and shorter.
