What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 903 Your life is nothing but emptiness, what a pity, so am I.

I……

Wait, I don't quite understand.

What's wrong with me?
Oh, I've been cleaved in two.

It was like a smooth piece of tofu being sliced off in an instant by some powerful force, leaving even the internal organs exposed in the air.

But I will not die.

I am Parallax Morhal, and I am now facing the World Forgers.

Whatever I intend to do, whatever my purpose may be, the collapse of the DC multiverse is something I cannot accept.

I know I've made many mistakes. When I left the upstream of the super-time stream, I had already deviated from the path I was supposed to take, and later learned the history I was supposed to go to.

Manufacturing fails at the very least.

Completely losing the purpose of life, becoming something that is neither a supervillain nor a superhero.

He murdered the mechanical superhero, instantly destroying his body and killing the culprit who had killed 800 million people in his hometown, Seaside City. But life became even more meaningless as a result, and then...

The final night.

Transformed into flames, igniting the sun, and perishing together with the sun-devourer.

I am Parallax Malfurion Hal. After all that, I was finally resurrected and became Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern of the main universe of the multiverse, all the way to the modern era.

Seaside City... Seaside City has come back to life. Although it is a Seaside City regenerated after the universe restarts, it doesn't have much to do with my original Seaside City. At least they look exactly the same.

But that's not my seaside town. A seaside town modified by history is more suitable. The restarted world is more modern, no longer the simple and rustic place I remember.

The seaside city I remember only exists upstream in the time flow.

But my Seaside City is different from Earth-15 of Genie #1. I now possess the power, and if I only want my Seaside City, I can simply return to the upstream of the hypertime stream to see it.

But my obsession with restarting the multiverse isn't entirely driven by the desire for the coastal city.

After experiencing so much, I finally realized... my world has no meaning.

Crises are constantly occurring in the multiverse. Even if I save Seaside City, it will be destroyed for some other reason, and then it will be rebuilt again, over and over again.

The game between heroes and villains will never stop; it's the main theme of this universe.

That's why I want to resolve this dispute once and for all, permanently.

I was never sure if I could succeed, but I was confident that no one had ever done what I did; I was the instigator.

I failed again.

The multiverse is rejecting me; it is rejecting me from becoming someone who can change it.

I wasn't particularly shocked when I found out.

And the timeline of the heretical path that Batman Dragon shared with me... it broke my heart even more.

Perhaps for others, such as Darkseid or characters like the Emperor and the Joker, the history of those Outer Timelines where they triumphed over everything and became the rulers of the DC multiverse is just for fun.

Although these histories, or Outer Timelines, became real histories that actually occurred within the multiverse after being created by Batman Dragon, they are of no concern to these faithless individuals, regardless of what happened in these Outer Timelines.

It would be enough to simply provide them with the power to overwrite timelines, even Batman Dragon, who created these timelines, held the same attitude.

But it's different for me.

Nothing much, compared to the history on that other timeline, it's something that's etched in my memory.

In that timeline, I joined forces with Superman Supreme to defeat all those who wanted to oppose us, even the World Builder, a sixth-dimensional god.

We created a perfect utopia where there were no more supervillains and everything was peaceful and serene, but it only lasted for a short time.

The shadow of a cosmic crisis continues to loom over the main universe after our reboot, growing stronger in corners we haven't noticed.

But this cannot break my alliance with Superman the Supreme.

We swiftly retaliated and suppressed the crisis, but the crisis had already caused enormous casualties and endless tragedies in the main universe, which was not what I wanted.

Such a tragedy should not have happened, should not have happened. In the DC main universe, my flawless world has become flawed, so I and Superman the Primal joined forces again to reboot the universe for the second time.

Then came the third and fourth times.

Our universe will never have a peaceful day, and only then will I understand...

The perfect world I sought was always in vain.

Even if I prevent a cosmic crisis, the countless tiny, insignificant acts of human conflict will keep my utopia in a constant state of tension, and these crises will still cause the deaths of ordinary people.

Damn it, how can you imagine that ordinary people throughout the multiverse are like leeks, dying one after another, yet people are still alive, and the world is still not perfect.

Even if it were me, who unified the entire DC multiverse on that timeline, and Superman Supreme, it would be impossible for us to create a perfect world. In other words, what I'm pursuing is simply impossible to achieve.

So what do I do now? If what I'm pursuing ultimately leads to failure, then what am I living for?
If creating a perfect world for the DC multiverse is no longer my ultimate goal in life, then what is my ultimate goal?

do not know.

Even so, I should stop the world's foundries.

I know my current thinking is somewhat similar to how I felt when I killed the mechanical superhero in the original timeline. If I don't know where to go next, then I'll tackle the only goal I can think of first.

This is a form of laziness.

I am Parallax Mohal, and I am consciously lazy.

Regardless of the circumstances, I cannot accept the destruction caused by the enemy escaping and releasing Papetua, so you'd better obediently give it to me...

"Return to the military alliance against Papetua!"

Parallax Morhal reassembled his severed body in an instant. They didn't see how the World Forger did it, but he knew very well. The attack that shattered him in an instant could not possibly have been launched by the World Forger without any cost.

If he seems to be without consequences, either he's putting on an act, or something else is taking the blame for him, like that baby multiverse.

This is the authority of the Creator, which has even transcended the realm of the sixth-dimensional deities.

"What is this?" he rasped, trying to stop the black blood from gushing from his throat. Parallax Mohal replayed the image of himself being cut in two in his mind, but it seemed as if he had been abruptly severed without any warning.

"Using a multiverse as a sword."

The World Forger said, “Sever your history.” This involves a realm that Parallax Morhal is unaware of.

Parallax Mohal's mind went blank.

Ah, why is that?

Why was he defeated so quickly, and why didn't he even understand how he lost?

He shouldn't have lost so quickly.

He now possesses the power of the Black Lantern and has been restored to his optimal state by Batman Dragon through the Outer Path timeline.

A large amount of false power was overwritten onto him by the Hypertime Stream, and he should be in better condition than when he first escaped from the Hypertime Stream.

But why did they lose so easily? Was the attack by the World Forgers really that powerful?

...Even Parallax Morhal himself didn't know this.

He suddenly felt his spirits were waning. After realizing that he was fighting against the core underlying logic of a universe, he felt as if he were standing in a wilderness, drawing his sword and looking around blankly.

The World Forger severely injured Parallax Mohal with a single blow, but he did not intend to continue entangled with him. Instead, he resolutely and desperately tried to leave the Alliance.

Parallax Morhal had been beaten to the point of being unable to fight back, but he had neither the energy nor the time to finish him off, so he just let his opponent lie there.

He has gotten rid of the other party, and now...

Damn Heroes' Day.

In an instant, Hero Day was sent flying backward.

Without Parallax Morhal's restraint, even with Batman Dragon constantly using alliances to suppress the world, the Maker could not prevent characters like Hero Day from being utterly defeated when facing their creator.

The reason he didn't die was simply because Batman Dragon desperately tried to stop him, and the World Builder was worried that if Hero Day was killed by him, Superman Supreme would turn against him, so he spared his life.

Yes, that's right.

The World Builder isn't stupid. Superman Supreme has repeatedly expressed his importance to Hero Day. If the World Builder insists on killing Hero Day, wouldn't that be like dancing on Superman Supreme's minefield?

Although he didn't understand Superman Supreme's feelings about Hero Day, he still respected Superman Supreme's choice.

It's less about respect and more about not wanting to cause any unnecessary trouble.

Superman's behavior may be idiotic, but he is not so arrogant as to think he can trample on other people's feelings at will.

The strong always have certain privileges. Even the World Forger would change his actions out of respect for someone as strong as Superman.

"Damn it...Damn it!"

The Heroes' Day attack was insignificant to the World Forgers. They withstood the renewed onslaught of the Heroes' Day and began to systematically withdraw their power from the Alliance. The Heroes' Day raged in vain for a long time, but ultimately gained no benefit whatsoever.

The World Founder pointed at him, and the next moment, a gel-like substance was created by the World Founder to tightly bind Hero Day.

The troublesome figures have been dealt with; the first thing the World Forger needs to do next is…

"Put your strength in with me, Superman Supreme," the World Forger said. "Believe me, if you want to break free from this alliance, you have to follow my guidance and use your power, instead of just randomly unleashing it like you did before. I know Superman never needs tricks, but this time is different."

Superman did as instructed.

"No, Superman Supreme."

He heard Batman Dragon say, "Don't do this. Don't let the World Forger control you. You're a superhero. Your home is always the DC multiverse. Don't go to that new universe. That's not your home. That's not..."

"At least it's a perfect world where there's no danger or error."

But Superman Supreme answered Batman Dragon in this way.

He heard that Batman Dragon wanted to say something more, and wanted to persuade him not to leave with the World Makers, but his mind was made up.

He also understood that the World Forgers had not taken drastic measures against Heroes' Day, and he was grateful that they had done so.

Even Superman the Primal knows how absurd his frequent requests for the World Builders to go easy on Heroes Day truly are.

He had reflected on whether he had been indirectly influenced by the monkey's personality, and why he was so fond of Hero Day, a created hero, even though he had killed countless heroes before, such as Elemental Boy.

But in reality, the hardest part for a murderer is that they strip away the victim's attributes as a human being and instead treat them as an animal or food, no longer having basic empathy for them.

Superman the Supreme has always viewed Hero Day as a person, a superhero, rather than a chicken or dog that needs to be killed.

That's why he repeatedly made those demands of the World Founders, and now those demands should be temporarily suspended. As for the World Founders…

Their cooperation had been fairly pleasant, and after making so many unreasonable demands on each other, it was time for him to repay his ally.

Batman and the Dragon were now completely unstoppable. Not far away, Hero Day gritted his teeth.

Instead of futilely attacking the Worldforger, he ran towards Parallax Mohal, who was suspended in mid-air, protected by green light energy and groaning as if he had completely lost the power to resist.

"Wake up! Stand up!"

He grabbed Parallax Mohal's shoulder, then pointed at the Worldforger who was constantly reclaiming his energy:
"You, in the past, defeated the World Forger!"

"I can not……"

Then he heard Parallax Malhal groan:

"I have been defeated."

But then he heard Hero Day's resolute voice. That voice was so familiar; once upon a time, Parallax Morhal had also possessed such a voice.

"No!"

"A man can be killed, but he must never be defeated," Hero Day declared. "Rise!"

"I do not know."

But all he heard was Parallax Mohal say that.

Hero took a deep breath, and then suddenly he had an idea.

Your life is nothing but emptiness, Parallax Morhal, and coincidentally, so am I.

He said, "We can be the same person!"

"Merge, Hal... I have a way to... combine our heterodox timelines into one!"
