What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 916: Foundation Destroyed, Heaven and Earth Collapse, the Cornerstone of the Infinite Earth Crisis Shattered
“So, this is the plan,” the first Genie heard Batman Dragon say.

"First, we must temporarily incorporate the Infant Multiverse, which was once created by the World Maker, into the DC Multiverse."

"Are you kidding me? This is no less than putting a baby that has already been born back into the uterus."

"The baby still in the birth canal."

The nameless old dragon corrected the statement of the first Lantern: "If the former World Builder had successfully taken all the energy he wanted and completely piloted the Infant Multiverse out of the DC Multiverse, then the Infant would have been completely born. But not yet, my friend."

The World Founders have been using the energy of the DC multiverse to nurture its infant multiverse, much like a mother nurturing her baby multiverse through a vas deferens.

It's less like a nutrient vessel and more like a parasite; a giant parasite using a suction vessel to suck the blood of the DC multiverse.

The first Lantern Knight thought to himself silently.

However, he tacitly accepted the overly polite term "Batman Dragon".

"When this baby multiverse exists next to the DC multiverse, its history communicates with the DC multiverse."

"The nameless old dragon said."

"And I will alter the ending of Crisis on Infinite Earths in that baby multiverse's hypertime stream. Normally, this alteration would cause the hypertime stream to collapse, but it's different now."

“I understand. The Infant Multiverse suffered a backlash,” said the First Lantern. “You built a small block next to the original block, then removed the main beam and told others that the block collapsed. You didn’t lie, you just didn’t tell the whole truth.”

"And reality has changed in a practical sense," the nameless old dragon said. "A false fact, that the Anti-Monitors won in the Crisis on Infinite Earths, will exist in the Baby Multiverse. It's not a parallel universe story, but something that happened in the real main universe. And the Baby Multiverse is the main universe of the DC Multiverse, so this is reality."

Because the victory of the Anti-Watchers exists in the Infant Multiverse but not in the DC Multiverse, it will not cause the collapse of the timeline's history.

The first Lantern realized that Batman's plan with the Dragon was indeed feasible. By using a multiverse encompassing a smaller one, they cleverly circumvented the negative consequences of resurrecting the Anti-Monitor, ignoring the harmful repercussions and preserving the useful results within the DC multiverse's hypertime flow. Now, only one question remains…

"World Builder, wasn't the Infant Multiverse created by you? Logically speaking, you should be able to find your multiverse no matter what."

"I, the First Lantern," said the World Forger, then he heard the World Forger reply: "In this timeline, I have just been resurrected. That's one thing. Second, do you think my mother wouldn't have thought of what we can?"

The first Lantern Knight also realized what was happening.

"He knew you would use the Infant Multiverse, so the Mother of the Multiverse, Papetua, would try to limit your perception of the Infant Multiverse in advance... But why didn't she just destroy the Infant Multiverse?"

As soon as the first Lantern Man finished speaking, he realized he had asked a stupid question. The timeline they were in was just a false timeline created by Perpetual after he escaped from the wall. In essence, it was no different from the Outer Timeline created by Batman: Dragon. It was just that, due to the difference in status and power, Perpetual's creation was more concise and realistic.

But no matter how powerful Papetua portrayed himself on this timeline, the timeline never truly solidified.

Even if many people ridicule the Baby Multiverse created by the World Builder as a flawed product, a clumsy imitation of its mother, it is undeniable that through years of planning and at the cost of immense weakness, the World Builder has indeed truly started anew.

Although Papetua seized control of the Baby Multiverse during the time loop left by the Worldmaker's death at the hands of Superman Supreme, she lacked the power to destroy it. Simply keeping the Worldmaker's Baby Multiverse within the DC Multiverse had exhausted all her strength.

Power does not arise from nothing. If one wants to possess the power to destroy the multiverse, then the Mother of the Multiverse must restore those powers. In order to restore those powers, she must solidify the false timeline in front of her into a truly solidified reality on the hypertime stream.

then……

Then, he would retaliate by destroying the Hypertime Stream to ensure that no one could alter the history of his success by modifying the Hypertime Stream. At that point, Papetua's power would be a complete reality, a solidified reality.

And now?
No.

The first Lantern Man understood immediately, and he instantly deduced the current situation in his mind.

"Not only that, think about it again, we hope you are mentally prepared."

But then he heard the World Forger and the Nameless Old Dragon exchange a glance, and then the two of them spoke.

The first Lantern Man paused for a moment, then immediately realized what the two of them were talking about.

"You mean to say that the baby multiverse might be a trap?"

"Half a trap. To deceive the World Builder and me, Papetua can only and must use the real Infant Multiverse to lure us. So theoretically, we can take the bait and then... break free of the restraints."

The first Lantern Knight remained silent.

The nameless old dragon clearly realized that Papetua would definitely use the Baby Multiverse as a trap, but he could only step into it.

The World Forgers, in order to reclaim control of the Infant Multiverse, also risked their lives to accompany him...

Just hearing the other person's description, he already knew how difficult it would be.

But both the world's forgers and the nameless old dragon seemed to be full of confidence.

Superman didn't speak; he just stood quietly to the side, like a silent statue.

Among everyone present, the World Builder is a sixth-dimensional deity who connects the past and future of the trans-time flow, while the First Lantern is a trans-time flow traveler. From his perspective, one second he is still in the previous history, and the next second he is here.

The nameless old dragon became the Anti-Monitor Bat. Although he was not a sixth-dimensional god, he already possessed some of the characteristics of a sixth-dimensional god, just like Barbatos, who devoured the corpse of the World Builder. He vaguely possessed some of the mysteries of a sixth-dimensional god, so he could more or less perceive the relationship between his own timeline and the hypertime flow. Therefore, even after experiencing history, he could still have some mental connection with his past self.

Only the Supreme Little Superman.

The only one among this group who has nothing to do with the sixth dimension, and the only one who is unrelated to the kind of divine power that exists simultaneously at every point in the hypertime stream.

From his perspective, he had already spent countless years in this world of despair. For Superman Supreme, this was absolutely cruel; of course, for Superman Supreme, this was probably also…

Fate's punishment for him murdering his best friend.

It's hard to say what his mindset is now when he acts like this.

"But I still don't understand, what makes you think I can find the Baby Multiverse that none of you can find?" The First Lantern took a deep breath. His thoughts were somewhat complicated.

"And if I really can find it, what methods should I use to find it?"

As he said these words, the first Lantern Knight felt utterly confused.

He was originally willing to do anything to restore his hometown, but after learning that his hometown could not be restored, he decided to continue living in that replica world. And it was precisely for that replica world that he fought to reclaim it.

The wanderer, who could never find a home, finally found a reason to fight again. He could continue living without having to struggle with fate and suffer over how to live.

therefore……

"My only reason for fighting is to find the Earth-15 replica that I personally pushed into death, nothing more," said Genie Ace. "You better not think about making me risk my life... I've been away from home for too long, and even if it's a fake, I don't want to never see them again."

"Ah, don't worry, I won't let you die." The nameless old dragon lowered his eyes: "As for how to find it... it's very simple. The DC multiverse will give you the direction."

"What do you mean?"

"You're an expert at time travel too, First Lantern. After so many repeated time travels, even nearly exhausting your lifespan, haven't you ever felt that you're one of the key members of the DC multiverse who solves problems through time travel? Just like the Flash, Barry Allen."

Every time you travel through time, you're helping the DC multiverse erase a timeline that's detrimental to it. Do you think this time will be any different?

The first Lantern Hears Batman Say:
"We will prepare a random teleportation spell for you, empowered by the sixth-dimensional divine power of the World Forgers. This will temporarily evade the vision of the Mother of the Multiverse. Then, the DC Multiverse's self-salvation mechanism will guide this random teleportation spell to your destination, and then we will help you. You must, at the crucial moment, disrupt the foundation of the entire DC Multiverse, triggering the crisis on Infinite Earths. Listen carefully, two key points."

"First is Barry Allen, the Flash, because he destroyed the antimatter cosmic cannon. Second is Kara, the Supergirl, because she dealt a heavy blow to the Antimonitor."

"Indeed."

"So...we'll start now? Isn't there anything we need to prepare?" The first Genie took a deep breath and then asked, "Just teleport away like this?"

"Yes, my friend."

Immediately following this was another bout of intense dizziness.

There were no fancy tricks or elaborate arrangements; it was pure random teleportation, a random journey through the history of the trans-timeline. Whether it was the World Forgers or the Nameless Old Dragon, they had entrusted the future of the DC Multiverse to the DC Multiverse. The universe itself held its own hands; fate and story would guide the First Lantern, placing it at the right point in time.

The behemoth known as the DC Multiverse began to move, rumbling and shaking wildly.

Guided by the nameless dragon and the World Forger, he finally had a chance to save himself. Although the DC multiverse lacked a clear consciousness, instinct still drove him to hold on tightly. He found a point upstream in the trans-timeline that would inevitably change history for the first Lantern.

So when Lantern Man looked up, he saw Barry Allen, the Flash from the multiverse timeline, standing not far from him.

Standing in front of him was the Mage Superman.

"...Your destiny is not here, nor is his. I'm sorry to tell you that in the 30th century you were closely involved in some trans-temporal crimes, and now we have discovered a crisis that is beyond our control."

The sorcerer's voice was trembling as he held his forehead.

"You are the only one with the talent to travel through time. You must live because you can stop the use of the antimatter cannon."

The sorcerer superman trembled.

At this point, he realized he couldn't kill the Flash before the crisis.

(Note: Chapter 841)
"Damn it, you're going to die."

"But now you have to live, so you may eventually die."

"what?"

"I mean."

Superman lowered his gaze.

"You're more important than me, so damn you."

"it's me."

The next second, he raised his staff to himself, powerful energy raging at the tip of the staff: "For the multiverse."

The monk said:

"For a more glorious mission!"

According to the original timeline, immediately following a dazzling purple light, the sorcerer Superman from Earth 9 would shatter himself, turning into liquid fragments, sacrificing himself to save the Flash before the crisis. But also...

The very next second, the first Lantern Man, who emerged from the portal, instantly tore apart the body of The Flash, Barry Allen.

"For a better future," said the first Lantern. He saw the astonished eyes of the Flash, Barry Allen, staring at him before immediately dimming.

He fell to the ground with a thud, killed by the first Lantern Knight.

With the Flash Barry killed before the crisis, the iron wall of Crisis on Infinite Earths was finally officially breached at this moment.

Two nested multiverses, a false timeline, an era that never existed, a past that has been reversed but will not cause the collapse of reality...

All of this surges and roars along the hypertime stream of the DC multiverse, then mixes together in a chaotic mess, before being reflected in reality like a mirage downstream of the hypertime stream.

And then, in the next moment, the entire multiverse... collapsed and the earth shattered.
