What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 907 I am here, vetoing the future of death on Hero's Day—Don't worry, I will not die.

"How scary, how scary..."

Barbatos, the dragon of the Dark Multiverse, huddled in a corner of the DC Multiverse, trembling with fear, almost completely terrified.

It's like a bald old wolf, or a defeated old dog, completely losing the will to continue fighting.

"World Founder World Founder World Founder... Master..."

Barbatos clutched his head, inexplicably gripped by immense panic.

The World Forger, the Anti-Monitor, and the Monitor—three colossal sixth-dimensional deities—stood there like three insurmountable mountains.

So Barbatos fled.

When faced with the anti-monitors, he completely lost the courage to resist, abandoned them without hesitation, and fled.

After he escaped, Batman Dragon summoned him several times, who then sent him messages asking him to join forces in the biggest conflict currently taking place in the DC multiverse, but Barbatos dared not.

He cut off Batman Dragon's communication directly, and even refused to communicate at all to prevent himself from being persuaded by the other party's smooth talk, thus eliminating the opportunity for the other party to speak with him.

The three sixth-dimensional gods had cast a shadow over his heart, and Barbatos was already on the verge of collapse when the World Forger appeared and proved to him that his killing of his former master was nothing more than a pre-arranged drama.

Before knowing this, he even dared to transform the avatar of the anti-surveillance agent into his own dog; if the other party dared to do it, he dared to take it. His main idea was to be on equal footing. But after this illusion was shattered, Barbatos was terrified beyond measure.

He had mustered some courage earlier, but that courage completely collapsed after being attacked a second time by the anti-surveillance agents.

The first burst of energy is followed by a second, then a third, and finally exhaustion. If Barbatos had been allowed to build up some more confidence, he might have been able to recover quickly. But now that he was interrupted, he has completely fallen into his current state.

But deep down, Barbatos still retained a part of his rationality. He knew very well that the most important thing was that after he discovered that he had been tricked by the World Forger, his spirit collapsed and everything was ruined. Even if he had the greatest power, he would not be able to fight against the other party. If he mustered up his courage, it would be nothing but a castle in the air.

He became weak, but this weakness was not about strength; it was about mindset.

Barbatos knew very well that this was exactly the effect the World Forger wanted. He did it on purpose, letting Barbatos defeat him and even devour him, and then deliberately misled him into placing all his achievements, all his invincibility and confidence on the fact that "I once ambushed and killed a sixth-dimensional god".

No matter how much insecurity one has, as long as one lies in the crucible of the world and takes a bite of the corpse of one's former master, even the most timid person will not doubt that they can succeed, right?

Then he would come out and shatter all that invincibility and confidence, to ensure that his former dog would not become an obstacle to him.

How clever! How calculating! And I fell right into their trap. Even though I knew it rationally, I was still terrified of them emotionally.

Barbatos whimpered twice. He was once a greedy, dark multiverse dragon, but now he was nothing more than a stray dog, hiding in a dark corner, quietly waiting for everyone to decide the winner, and then the victor would put him, this spineless dog, into the pot and cook him into a fragrant dog meat hot pot.

Even though he knew clearly that his fate wouldn't be good, he dared not do anything.

But at this moment...

He suddenly felt that reality seemed to have changed.

It's like...

Who is sharing with him a history that does not belong to him, or memories that do not belong to him?

In an instant, it was like having a long dream, and when you woke up, you found yourself in a completely different world.

……

……

……

I am Chen Tao. Many years ago, I made a definitive conclusion regarding the moral choice between saving one person or saving a group of people.

A superhero can only save everyone. If someone can't be saved, can he still be considered a superhero?

In my opinion, no.

Whether what Papetua said is true or false, and whether the past in the timeline I fabricated is my true origin, there is one thing I am very clear about: no matter how difficult it is, I have never thought of sacrificing others to complete my plan... If such a thing were to happen, it would only be after I have already sacrificed myself.

In my plan, I have arranged an ultimate fallback for Heroes' Day.

First, as a creation of the World Maker. I know very well that if the World Maker wanted to, it could erase Hero Day's existence. This would directly cause him to become a reality error without an origin, and Hero Day would be erased from the present in the hyperchronic flow, just like the time remnants that the Flash created.

Once it completely disappears, its existence will be preserved upstream in the hyper-time stream, becoming a history that never existed, similar to an unknown story, just like the 200 years protected by the original true hero's day in the Gog War upstream in the hyper-time stream.

Chen Tao had already investigated the true Hero's Day upstream of the hypertime flow during the Gog War, which was the prototype of the Hero's Day created by the World Forgers.

That heroic day has returned to the embrace of the Lady of Death. Therefore, his history is in an unalterable state, everything is like an empty void, like a stage play performed in front of Chen Tao, and the characters in the play are just phantoms, no longer a real story that can be changed by Chen Tao.

Chen Tao had the same plan. Although he hadn't tried it before, he intended to attach the Hero's Day, created by the World Forgers, from the downstream of the timeline to this history.

That history is already a void, but he can create a false timeline on that historical timeline. He wants to fabricate a story of the dead resurrecting. He wants to use the trans-time flow to confuse the distinction between the two Hero Days. Thus, he wants to free Hero Day from the origins created by the World Forgers, giving it a completely new story, such as "a small part of the essence of the original true Hero Day has given birth to a brand new self."

He was good at this kind of writing, he was good at creating this kind of story. He didn't think about whether he could succeed, but he was willing to give it a try.

Although Hero Day's death was not supposed to happen in this way in his original plan, the appearance of Papetua disrupted everything, and on the other hand, he also realized that Superman Supreme did not seem to rely on Hero Day as much as he had planned.

From the moment the World Forgers created Hero's Day, and Chen Tao freed Hero's Day from the World Forgers' control, it was a foregone conclusion that the World Forgers would one day erase Hero's Day. However, even following the original trajectory, if Chen Tao had used his scheme to amplify the impact of the World Forgers killing Hero's Day on Supreme Superman, he might not have been able to successfully influence Supreme Superman's thoughts. Perhaps his plan was doomed from the start; perhaps, perhaps, but regardless—

I won't let you die.

Even if the plan doesn't work out, I've never considered discarding you like trash. Even if Buzz Lightyear is a fake toy, even if he's an unused toy for Superman, for me...

You brought me brief comfort and hope, but it remains real and true.

Your life and existence have meaning, and I have racked my brains to figure out how you will survive and find your destiny from the hands of the world's creators.

After living and reincarnating on that false timeline for a period of time, your existence will be attached to a part of reality. As long as the multiverse has not perished, I will be able to find a way to transform this false timeline into an external timeline, and then completely into a parallel universe.

This was a difficult process. Those ordinary heretical timelines... like the Emperor Joker, and Darkseid's, I never intended for these heretical timelines to exist for a long time when I created them.

These external timelines are merely to provide the DC multiverse with an outlet to enhance their power; essentially, it's about "even if God helps you, there has to be a reason."

Once God has finished helping you, these external timelines will naturally disappear. They are essentially just consumables. However, if you want Hero Day to get rid of the origin of the World Maker, you need to help him create a new origin. This is not something that external timelines, which are tools that disappear quickly, can handle.

This was the first time Chen Tao had done something like this, and he wasn't even sure if he could succeed, but now he was forced into it and had no choice but to do it.

"Batman: The Dragon!"

The anti-monitor's expression changed: "What stupid thing are you doing? You can't fight Papetua while simultaneously shaping the timeline upstream in the hypertime stream. Do you really think you can do both on your own?"

Chen Tao ignored him.

Of course, he wasn't foolish enough to directly reduce the suppression of the multiverse mother, Papetua; instead, he relaxed his control over the world-forgers.

Parallax Morhal has absorbed four times the power, making him stronger than Hero Day, but he faces the World Forger, whose power has been greatly diminished by Batman's Dragon Slayer.

“A formidable opponent… but not difficult.” World Founder took a deep breath.

Mohal Parallax: It's not a good feeling to become the enemy of the world by mobilizing the power of the Infant Multiverse once again.

He saw Parallax Mohal extremely alert to his attack, but he wished that such vigilance would be effective.

In an instant, Parallax Morhal was once again cleaved in half. Barbatos used to need the advantage of the World Forge to barely deal with Super-Prime and Parallax Morhal, but now, with the power of the Baby Multiverse at his disposal, the World Forger has his own destiny.

In a world inaudible to ordinary people, the World Builder hears the DC multiverse roaring angrily at him, a tidal wave of malice surging towards him. The World Builder, once a pillar of the DC multiverse and one of the three sixth-dimensional gods, has long been rejected by the entire multiverse. He is a traitor, an enemy of the world, but so what?

I am destiny itself, I am fortune and misfortune, good and bad. The mere DC multiverse can no longer bind me in the slightest.

Even the DC multiverse's hasty enhancement of parallax by Mohal cannot shake me in the slightest.

"Batman Dragon, that's going too far." Chen Tao's body trembled.

He only felt the monitor gently place his hand on his shoulder without him noticing.

He expended too much energy shaping the origins of Heroes Day in the upper reaches of the Hypertime Stream, making him unable to become the representative of the DC multiverse and help him suppress the destiny of the Baby Multiverse, which led to Parallax Morhal's imminent collapse.

Chen Tao shrugged, completely ignoring the watcher's grim expression. He wouldn't abandon anyone, much less watch Hero Ri die. He had a backup plan; now he would execute it.

What do you mean, that this will lead to more danger in the multiverse?

"You're insane! You're gambling with the entire DC multiverse!"

"No, that won't happen."

On the telepathic channel, the Anti-Monitor, who was criticizing Batman, heard Batman Dragon answer him.

"Because I am Batman!"

The anti-monitor almost laughed in anger. He was furious and about to continue shouting and cursing, but then, both he and Batman Dragon were taken aback by the voice that appeared on the telepathic channel.

"Hello, hello, hello, can you hear me? This is Hero Day."

Chen Tao almost shuddered uncontrollably. He had thought Hero's Day was completely over.

He tried his best to avoid looking at Hero Day, who was suspended in mid-air, seemingly completely unconscious, his whole body shaking due to the timeline error.

Perhaps in the eyes of the world's forgers, the other side had completely lost the power to resist, but now it seems...

"That's not the case, Batman Dragon. You always have many plans, and you always make us follow them... You're very smart, so someone as smart as you should know that by now."

You might hear Hero's Day's soft chuckle, like at an afternoon tea party, as he skillfully lifts a small teacup with a sharp finger and then pours water from the kettle. His voice is as gentle as sunshine, yet with a touch of playfulness.

"I have my own plans too."

His gentle voice echoed in Chen Tao's ears: "Don't worry, my friend, I won't die."

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you the plan, but once it came out of my mouth and into your ears, it might have been discovered by the World Founders. You're a more experienced planner, so you should be able to understand."

Chen Tao heard him say, "This is my last counterattack."
