What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 869 Charging In: The Future of Supreme Superman and Parallax Morhal!
"Hehehe, you don't want it? That's not up to you!"

Chen Tao felt a bit bad as soon as he said those words. They sounded like some strange villain's statement. Oh well, none of that matters.

In short, Chen Tao walked up to the Emperor Clown with a sly laugh, grabbed his forehead, and revealed his stubborn and unyielding face.

Damn it, what's the meaning of you making that face, you vicious and evil supervillain?
Numerous metal tentacles extended from Chen Tao's palm and plunged into the Emperor Clown's seven orifices, the metal barbs making a crunching sound on his eyeballs.

There was also a thorn that pierced his throat. The fifth-dimensional power of the bat mite prevented the Emperor Joker from repairing himself with his own fifth-dimensional power. Martha Wayne's theft of his power brought him back to a state almost like an ordinary person.

The tentacle spun like a hinge, shattering half of the Emperor Joker's teeth.

"Continue." After silencing the Emperor Joker, Chen Tao turned to Martha Wayne and gave her his command.

But he heard Martha Wayne's voice.

"Wait, I can't."

"What!!?"

Chen Tao suddenly turned his head, a surge of anger almost uncontrollably rushing into his heart, causing his eyes to glow red like omega rays.

"what happened!?"

He had just spoken when, in an instant, a chill ran through his mind.

The large amount of inexplicable anxiety and anger that had been building up was easily swept into the trash can in an instant, like garbage.

His anger abruptly ceased, and his clouded mind quickly calmed down. Chen Tao instinctively tried to smooth things over, saying, "Sorry, I was too hasty. What happened?"

His heart was ice-cold.

The World Founder attempts to weave his future of victory, to manipulate his own destiny to influence others—a tactic that Barbatos, and his master the World Founder, will only become more adept at.

Martha Wayne felt a surge of anxiety when Batman Dragon questioned her like that, almost putting her at a disadvantage in her fight against the Emperor Joker. However, his quick words of redemption greatly reduced the emotional turmoil that threatened her defeat.

So she just swayed slightly and said, "The Emperor Clown is too strong. Although he did not master the sixth-dimensional energy, he infused his willpower into the three substances of positive, negative and dark, and then seized the power of the fifth-dimensional gods. He has the ability to resist."

Chen Tao remained silent, only continuing to enlarge the metal tentacles emerging from his palm.

A longer, thicker metal tentacle pierced directly into the Emperor Joker's chest cavity, attempting to pull out his spine, causing him immense pain. But Chen Tao kept his eyes fixed on the Joker's...

Even under such torture, the Emperor Joker showed no fear; he looked at himself with a smile.

He has leverage, but Chen Tao doesn't want to admit it.

"let me help you."

Chen Tao said this in a low voice to Martha Wayne, but before doing so, he was still torturing the Emperor Joker with one hand, and stomped the ground three times with the other foot.

"Troublemaker! Troublemaker! Troublemaker!"

He is calling upon the fifth-dimensional beings, the troublemakers.

He had previously helped the Mischievous Ghost sever his connection with the Emperor Clown on the fifth-dimensional level. Now that there was evidence, the Mischievous Ghost should have repaid this favor, but he didn't even show up. Chen Tao activated the bat mite's fifth-dimensional divine power and called out several times, but there was no response at all, as if the mite didn't exist.

"What a hell..."

Chen Tao took a deep breath.

Okay, now the Emperor Joker does have some leverage.

He released his grip, and the metal tentacles left the Joker's body along with him.

Chen Tao took a deep breath.

Here we come to the option that Batman hates most: negotiating with the Joker. Every Batman, and I mean every single one of them, at some point in the timeline, has probably faced this embarrassing situation to some extent, and it's the kind of plot that Batmen hate the most.

"what on earth do you want?"

Then Chen Tao heard the clown let out a disgusting laugh.

"How about this, let's exchange some information first."

Chen Tao heard the Emperor Clown say, "You need my help to fight against the World Forgers, but the problem is that you don't trust me. You would never allow me and your imposter to control this body together, because that would mean you wouldn't be able to control it at will. You're worried that I'll betray you at a crucial moment and deliver a fatal blow to your camp."

Chen Tao remained silent.

No problem, the Emperor Joker explained it very clearly.

As the saying goes, "To fight external enemies, one must first secure internal stability." Although this saying has been tarnished, Chen Tao clearly cannot allow a madman who might turn against him at any moment to stay by his side.

Chen Tao had already begun to consider what forceful method he could use to separate the Emperor Joker from his body if the Joker continued to refuse, but he soon heard the Emperor Joker say, "I can leave this body and give it to Martha Wayne. But you have to answer one question for me..."

"What, tell me."

"If you already knew how the story would end, would you still continue? If you were given another chance..."

Will you regret it?

"And what do you know?"

"It's nothing. Actually, none of this matters to me anymore. You see, you may have only found me 10 minutes ago, but in fact, I have been living on this timeline where I am completely invincible for hundreds of billions of years."

Martha Wayne had stopped trying. She was somewhat surprised to find that the area she had just captured was rapidly crumbling.

In the blink of an eye, the favorable situation was reversed, and the battle line was pushed back to below the chest by the Emperor Joker. Even Martha Wayne's head could hardly support her and could not be displayed on the Emperor Joker's face, so it was forced to be moved to the chest.

After regaining his face, the Emperor Joker revealed an expression Chen Tao had rarely seen before... like that of a decrepit old man. No.

Chen Tao suddenly remembered.

He saw it at the end of the first Lantern.

The first Lantern Knight before his death.

The decaying, aged aura left a deep impression on him, but he simply didn't want to recall it.

Almost every time traveler ends up like this.

Or rather... that's the end of the story.

“You know what? At the beginning, when I found out I had won, I was so happy that I did all the terrible things you can imagine to you.”

"You, my living toy."

The Emperor Joker looked like he was about to collapse again, and Martha Wayne was pushing back the front lines, but he was ignoring her.

He tapped Chen Tao's face with his witch-like pointed nose, then turned to the empty space beside him.

“Superman, my slave, I forced him to act in evil comedies, I assigned positions to every member of the Justice League, and I’ve been having fun with all of you for over 100 years.”

“Then I got tired of it,” said the Emperor Joker.

"Then I started to torture you and the main universe's Batman, as well as all sorts of bats from parallel universes."

“I inflicted terror on all of you beyond the limits of human imagination. Everyone was driven to a mental breakdown, every Batman, even you, Batman Dragon.”

He said, "There is no miracle that never collapses."

He lamented, "Why, why are there no miracles?"

"More than 500 years later, I began to try to erase my memories."

Everyone has become a puppet under my control. I'm like a one-man show among a bunch of marionettes, with no cost and no jokes, and nothing is funny at all.

Even the cities cease to function, because history is merely a toy I can mold at will. Perhaps this family is currently living happily in Tokyo, Japan, but by altering the main universe's timeline and utilizing the immense power I inherited from my three brothers in the sixth dimension, I can instantly shift the timeline to another point, such as someone living a life of widowhood in Africa.

The Emperor Clown looked at Chen Tao, then sighed: "More than 800 years later, I feel an unparalleled emptiness. There are no more goals, nothing left to strive for, and everything is completely within my grasp."

All forms of entertainment imaginable to humans have no effect on me. I attempted suicide, but quickly discovered that even if I destroyed all my fifth-dimensional divine power, I could not commit suicide, because in this timeline, or rather, in this flawed future of hypertime, I am already a sixth-dimensional god.

...Although the power was quickly taken back by the other sixth-dimensional gods.

"Nothing matters to me now. Of course I can help you with this, but you have to answer my questions."

"If this trans-timeline future is erased, will I be able to die?"

Chen Tao gave him an affirmative answer.

"I can rest assured that."

Chen Tao heard the Emperor Clown say this, and then he saw the Emperor Clown say:
"So, my friend."

"Use my power."

The next moment, the Emperor Joker closed his eyes, and then Martha Wayne instantly took control of his body, and endless radiance shone brightly on him in an instant!
"This is……"

"The power of a sixth-dimensional god, and the combined power of three brothers," Chen Tao said. "Of course, this is illusory, a [non-existent history]. You can only use a limited amount, Martha, but it's enough—"

Let's find it—

"Superman, and..."

"Parallax Magichal!"

"We're heading to that time-flowing future where the two of them rule the DC multiverse!"

……

……

……

The World Founder is caught in a dilemma. He now feels that the Watcher might be a bit problematic, and he worries about letting the tiger return to the mountain.

Once the Watcher has cured him of his separation from Mandrakal, the World Forger knows perfectly well that even if he gives more power to Mandrakal, it will not change the fact that the other has regained his freedom. Does he really want to do that?

Immediately afterwards, his expression changed.

"Damn Batman Dragon!!!"

The World Forger nearly jumped up. He immediately tried to stop him, but he still couldn't completely stop his sixth-dimensional energy. A little bit of it was stolen by Martha Lock, who was next to Batman Dragon.

Only a tiny bit.

But this is already fucking bad.

“I’ll heal you, Watcher.” The World Forger’s face darkened, and then he turned around and spoke.
