What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 887 The Empty City Stratagem: The Counter-Monitors Refusal to Listen or Believe

All right.

simply put……

Even though the world's creators have sacrificed so much, deep down I still hope that history will end in my complete victory.

I am the anti-surveillance agent. From the very beginning of this game of chess with the world's creators, I have always held a trump card that can change everything.

Long ago, from the very top of the Hypertime Stream, I began planning to completely transform Batman Dragon into Anti-Monitor Bat.

I was surprised that the other side created Earth 15 to break this situation, but I took advantage of it and set a trap for the world's builders.

I've been trying to force Batman Dragon...

If he is willing to go back to before Earth-15 happened and take action to eliminate this massive crisis affecting the entire DC multiverse, I will be able to simultaneously utilize the Manifest Destiny of the multiverse to overturn the chessboard.

Ultimately, neither the multiverse nor the hypertime flow wants Earth-15 to happen; the damage it would cause to the multiverse would be far too great…

The plan was excellent, but the only problem was that Batman Dragon consistently refused.

I'm sorry, but if I could force it, I would certainly want to force Batman Dragon to do that. However, changing Earth 15 is "an action taken by a hero." If I were to manipulate it, it would still be recognized by the time-travel system as the villain controlling the hero.

So all I could do was rack my brains and use the current situation to force Batman Dragon to agree, thus starting my plan.

I've really been longing for this for a long time... but I've always failed.

No matter how great the danger, how bleak the future, or how insurmountable the difficulties, he never seemed to give in.

But when this opportunity actually came to me, a huge sense of unreality lingered in my heart for a long time.

To be honest, from the very beginning of my normal game against the World Maker, I never thought I could beat him. He had been planning for far too long. Even if I only needed to win once, the World Maker, my brother, wouldn't let any of this happen.

Therefore, restarting the Earth 15 event was my last counterattack after a complete defeat.

Batman: Dragon's conclusion to the Earth-15 event will become the current reality of the hyper-timeline, while what happens after Earth-15...

The concept of multiverse integration, the concept of Parallax Morhal, and the concept of Superman Supreme will all become things that never happened, turning into an unknown story in the DC multiverse.

Deep down, I also hoped that Batman: Dragon could unleash his full power and completely shatter the World Forger's conspiracy in a way I couldn't even imagine...

But this kind of crushing must never be done in cooperation with the monitors.

So it was only after realizing that Batman: Dragon would not reboot Earth-15, and that there were observers threatening from the outside, that I reached a peace treaty with my enemy, the World Makers.

But now, this plan that I had already abandoned has suddenly appeared in front of me.

The Anti-Monitor looked at the Batman Dragon lying in front of him.

It feels like a noble lady who used to look down on you is now kneeling before you, begging for your forgiveness.

The anti-monitor tilted his head slightly, mentally eliminating the influence of Batman Dragon's obsequious demeanor on him.

This is psychological manipulation, my friend, this is psychological manipulation.

The excessive elevation of you, the rejection before the union, gives you a feeling that you have complete control over the fate of the person before you. The Anti-Monitor reminds himself that he is facing Batman Dragon, the man who single-handedly caused the Earth-15 incident, his little monster.

This cunning and malicious person is adept at finding the one and only path among all impossibilities, then completely thwarting your plans and leaving you utterly defeated.

You must act with caution when dealing with him.

"Are you sure you know what I really intend for you to do? Batman Dragon?"

"Yes I know."

The Anti-Monitor heard Batman Dragon say, "You like to manipulate me and then change the Earth-15 event, making my universe's destruction completely reverse your current embarrassing situation of being suppressed by the World Forgers, right?"

He adopted a posture of being ready to die.

“Come on,” he said. “It’s all come to an end. I must make amends for the mistakes I’ve made. I must change this, change all those who died because of me, and change this entire DC multiverse. Between a single universe and the entire multiverse, I can only and must choose to save more people.”

“Oh, that sounds like a trolley problem,” the Anti-Monitor said. “Are you really sure you’re going to do that? By the way, I actually have a way to save your universe.”

Even if it is preserved, it will be of no use. In the end, after the Anti-Monitor completely controls the DC multiverse, all these universes will be devoured by him.

The entire multiverse will be devoured by the Anti-Monitor.

This is what the Anti-Monitor does; he is completely different from his two brothers, a pure destroyer.

The Counter-Monitor knew this was something Batman Dragon could not accept, and that the other party must be looking for some way to resist his control.

But this will not succeed.

The anti-surveillance agent thought silently.

Once transformed into the Anti-Monitor Dragon, although it may appear to retain its memories and sanity, in its most primal form, the Batman Dragon becomes completely one with itself, becoming a part of it.

Another side of the anti-surveillance agent. Just like Darkseid's clone, even if he can still walk, sit, and lie down normally, and can still say his old catchphrases or do his old actions, and has his old memories, he is just an anti-surveillance agent with Chen Tao's memories.

This is an irreversible and inevitable process. Unless a miracle occurs, such as the Anti-Monitor Bat suddenly becoming the core of a multiverse without warning, or the World Maker obstructing it at the cost of physical collapse, Batman Dragon will completely fall into the Anti-Monitor's arms, becoming his most loyal henchman and another weapon to stab at the World Maker in the future.

Yes, the future is very bright, and it's all within reach.

“Okay, Batman Dragon, if you’re really willing to change Earth-15, I can take you back to that time and then let you…” The Anti-Monitor stammered.

At the most critical moment, the anti-surveillance agents suddenly calmed down, which seemed a bit off.

No, he meant that it all seemed far too simple. Could Batman: Dragon have some kind of backup plan specifically designed to prevent him from being controlled by the Counter-Monitor?
Theoretically, it's impossible for a non-Sixth-Dimensional God to contend with another Sixth-Dimensional God, but according to information provided by the World Forgers, the Monitor has already placed a heavy bet on Batman Dragon. Although he doesn't understand what his brother, the Monitor, has done, Batman Dragon already possesses the potential to possess Sixth-Dimensional energy and thus interfere with the Anti-Monitor.

The Anti-Monitor couldn't ignore the danger; it was indeed too risky. Now that he had reached an agreement with the World Builder, he wasn't necessarily going to lose in the race ahead. Moreover, there was clearly a world to devour, and destruction was much faster than construction. The Anti-Monitor felt that he was very likely to be the real winner.

but……

Should we just give up like this?
Instead of giving up the opportunity to wipe out the world's forgers, they chose to retreat and continue to abide by the humiliating treaty they had signed.
A golden opportunity is right in front of you, are you really willing to give it up?

The anti-surveillance man's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty. Batman Dragon crawled forward two steps on his knees: "What are you hesitating for? This is your last chance. I've made my decision. What are you waiting for?"

The other party's eagerness made the counter-surveillance agents even more hesitant to directly grant them power to transform them and then reverse history.

There's definitely something wrong with this, but what is it?

As the anti-monitor bought himself more time to think, he slightly turned his head, choosing not to face Batman Dragon directly. But then, on the side where he had turned, he saw the clone created by Batman Dragon using illusions:

"Anti-Monitor... no, Master!"

The anti-monitor got goosebumps all over at that "master's call," as if he were being stared at by some venomous snake, or as if he heard a deathbird on a withered branch calling his name in a hoarse voice by a dimly lit path at dusk.

He turned in a new direction, but no matter where he turned, a Batman-dragon would always appear in front of him, crawling on his knees and kowtowing.

This is practically an urban legend... The Batman Dragon kneels before you at the crossroads, and if you grant his request, something terrible will happen.

“Let’s be frank,” the Anti-Monitor asked. “You must have some ability to break free from my control, right? You’ve already acquired that ability, which is why you dare to shout in front of me, demanding that I transform you.”

Who exactly gave you this confidence? Was it the world's architect or the observer? I think it's the observer. Did they leave you some kind of trump card?

The anti-surveillance agent paused for a moment after seeing Batman Dragon.

He has pressed the other party to the limit, and the other party will have no choice but to respond.

The anti-monitors are waiting. Come on, little monster. Sometimes you have to reveal your trump card before you can even fight them.

"A trump card that can resist you, but cannot completely escape your control."

The expression on the counter-surveillance person's face was ambiguous.

He heard Batman Dragon say, "I would never allow you to interfere with my consciousness unless absolutely necessary... I don't intend to take even the slightest risk. But things have completely spiraled out of control, and even with the potential dangers, I'm going to give it a try."

The anti-surveillance activists laughed.

Batman Dragon probably realized that his friend, the Anti-Monitor, wouldn't just convert him on a whim, so he stood up from the ground.

"The infamous Anti-Monitor, Möbius, do you really think you're weaker than anyone else in terms of control over me? Not even the World Forger, in the timeline you've been cultivating for so long?"

He asked, "What are you afraid of? What are you terrified of?"

The anti-surveillance activists laughed even harder.

This clumsy attempt to provoke him obviously had no effect, but it was Batman Dragon's declaration of war against the Anti-Monitor.

Haven't you always wanted to completely defeat the World Forgers and win big?
Didn't you always want me to transform into the Anti-Monitor Bat and then completely help you devour the entire DC multiverse?
Come on, come on, now your enemy is no longer the World Forger, your enemy is me, you bastard.

This is our game of chess; I am no longer a pawn, but a player.

We will play a game of chess, and either Batman Dragon will win, escape your control completely, and defeat the World Forger...

Either you win, and it's no longer a two-way battle with the World Makers, but you gain complete control of the entire multiverse.

Want to gamble? Dare to gamble?
I am merely a servant god of Barbatos, so what do you have to fear?
What are you afraid of?
"you."

Those who oppose surveillance speak their minds.

He saw Batman Dragon staring at him, the other man clearly intending to hurt him, to stab him in the chest, to break free from his control after being transformed by him, yet he still acted as if it were perfectly justified.

He's always fighting... but you know, Batman Dragon, the battle isn't always won.

I'll give you a compliment for now; even at this point, you're still thinking about fighting and trying to deceive me into using my power.

You struggled so hard, but I'm sorry, everything has already been discussed and divided up by me and the World Founders.

I am certainly not entirely satisfied with this division, but the problem is that this dissatisfaction is not enough to make me tear up the alliance, which would come at a price.

When you don't sit at the gambling table, you might miss the chance to become rich overnight, but you can keep the chips you currently have.

If what you currently have is already within your means, then that's fine. But if you rashly put those chips back on the table, hoping to gamble big with a small investment…

While there is a possibility of victory, the risk of failure is far greater, isn't it?
Which is more difficult: to consolidate the victory in the battle against the World Founders or to win another round against Batman Dragon?
The Anti-Monitor lowered his eyes; whatever Batman Dragon's plans were, he would not agree.

Don't blame me for being despicable; you are Batman Dragon.

I'd rather settle this game with the world's builders than give you a chance to turn the tables.

Despite my deep resentment that the trap I had painstakingly prepared could not be activated again.

But as I said.

"Forget about it, Batman Dragon."

The anti-surveillance advocate said, "I refuse."

You cunning little monster, the only way to deal with you is to completely disbelieve what you say and do.
