What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 955 The First Lantern Hero Cuts Him in Half
Is this truly a whisper from the future, or a trap set by Batman: The Dragon?
Reality or illusion has become blurred at this moment; even the first Lantern Knight could no longer distinguish between them.

At this moment, the only thing that the first Genie could clearly see was the enemy standing in front of him.

Dozens of enemies...

Dozens of enemies are bound to appear in the future. The first Lantern Knight is not yet used to the state after mastering the Light of Creation, so much so that he often overlays the current timeline with the downstream reality of the near future that is being generated in the hypertime stream.

The feeling is like placing your palm upright on the tip of your nose, then opening both eyes at the same time and seeing completely different scenes overlapping in your eyes.

Therefore, in the current reality, there is only one person in front of him.

The first Lantern Knight knew who these suddenly appearing enemies were: versions of himself from different timelines, trying to stop him for various reasons.

“This is a trick by Papetua.” He said to the version of himself in front of him, who was neither in the future nor the past, “I swear to you, whatever you have experienced, the timeline you have experienced is a tragedy created by Papetua to drive you to obey his orders and attack me.”

He looked at the figure before him, who appeared to be some kind of combination of the first Lantern Man and Aquaman, wielding Aquaman's trident and wearing Aquaman's classic soft armor that resembled golden fish scales.

"I know."

The first Lantern heard his Aquaman version of himself say, "In my timeline, I successfully restored Earth-15, but due to the timeline distortion, Earth-15 became the Atlantis civilization. It's not what I wanted, but it's better than nothing."

The first Lantern Man looked at the other person quietly; he could almost predict what the other person was going to say.

"But." x2
The Aquaman version of the original Genie said, "But my history is being destroyed. People keep becoming normal humans and then drowning in the ocean."

He said, "Only if you die will the millions of lives in my hometown have a chance to survive."

"No, your timeline was created by Perpetua in an instant. Perpetua created you to stop me. You and your Earth 15, your history is not even as old as my breath just now."

The first Lantern Knight said:

"Your Earth 15 may actually exist, but those past memories, those dead people, those records of your past lives are nothing but illusions, simple settings by the Creator. You did not truly experience those things; those things only exist in the minds that created you, and they did not appear upstream in the trans-timeline."

It's all fake.

"The first Lantern Man said."

Then he heard his Aquaman version of himself say, "I know."

"You—know?"

"Yes, I know. I am you, and you have mastered the Light of Creation. Those who master the Light of Creation exist simultaneously at every point in every timeline. Just as fifth-dimensional beings or sixth-dimensional gods exist simultaneously at any point in the trans-timeline. Although my power has not reached the level of a sixth-dimensional god."

At this moment, Aquaman's first Genie and the original Genie spoke simultaneously, their voices resonating in unison:

"But I share the same characteristics with them. I am no longer a low-dimensional being trapped in the long river of a simple timeline."

But Aquaman's first Lantern still stood in front of him, sword and spear in hand.

“But I still have to stop you, even though I am fake, even though all of this is a reality created by Papetua, my feelings for my Earth 15 are real. If I let you pass, my Atlantis Earth 15 will be destroyed.”

The first Lantern Man closed his eyes.

Everything flashed through his mind.

Then he lifted his foot, stepped forward, and held the tip of his sword, which radiated emotional energy, slightly raised but did not swing it.

He deftly stepped over the fallen Aquaman No. 1 Lanternman in front of him, and the other party did not put up any resistance at all.

"I said……"

The first Lantern Knight said, "I understand."

The next moment, Aquaman Genie I was completely obliterated. Genie I knew that in Aquaman Genie I's timeline, which was the timeline created by Perpetua, trillions of Atlanteans would also be obliterated behind the giant wall of light, disappearing completely, just like Aquaman Genie I.

This is a trick by Papetour. Papetour is not attacking the original Lantern Man himself, but attacking him through his memories.

As a mortal possessing divine power but lacking the heart of a god, the first Lantern didn't first become Barbatos's servant like Batman: Dragon did, before approaching Barbatos's domain and then borrowing the Anti-Monitor's power from it.

And now, Batman Dragon is having the Anti-Monitor help him bear most of the backlash.

A treacherous fellow.

The first Lantern Man is a being that can exist in any timeline, which is his most vulnerable point.

Anger burned fiercely in the heart of the first Lantern Knight.

how dare you?
One of them appeared in front of him: the first Genie with the Speed ​​Force.

The first Lantern spoke first: "Your Earth 15 exists entirely because of the Speed ​​Force, and the Speed ​​Force storm is about to engulf your universe."

He held his sword horizontally, then swung it lightly.

"I'm very sorry."

"what!!!"

The first Lantern Knight groaned.

The scene that the Speed ​​Force's first Lantern Man saw before his death: his mother's wailing, the collapse of his hometown—everything was shattered in the storm of the Speed ​​Force. He witnessed firsthand what his mother had suffered...

The plush doll was swept high into the sky by a hurricane, and an invisible force tore at its limbs, ripping out all the cotton and fur and shredding them to shreds. Its white plastic bones were pulled out one by one and then broken by the Speed ​​Force. This was the torture that Papetua inflicted on Genie I.

It's a foregone conclusion that Genie I has mastered the Light of Creation. Papetua can no longer use the time-travel technique to create history and then arbitrarily rewrite it onto others as before. He can no longer punish Genie I at will. He can only use this method to viciously and futilely stop Genie I.

The plush toy was calling your name before it died, but in the end, you could only watch it perish because that wasn't your timeline. There was nothing you could do.

You couldn't possibly travel through time to save them, because they don't even exist. None of this ever happened. Only the pain inflicted on you is real. You are the Speed ​​Force's First Genie, and you are the First Genie yourself. That pain and sense of loss will forever remain in your soul. How dare you…

The first Lantern is whispering.

A superhuman version of the first Lantern, a world where AI leads the world to share the energy of the emotional spectrum with everyone, an Earth-15 where the emotional spectrum and machinery are combined, a breathtaking homeland, where they have created countless world-renowned achievements, countless heroes, and countless great stories.

In the vast universe, nothing is anything.

The first Lantern Man simply walked by, and all these great achievements vanished with a pop.

The timelines created by Papetua truly exist in the Hypertime Stream, yet they also do not, because Genie Evangelion erased them.

How dare you do this? How dare you threaten me with my Earth 15 across different timelines?

The Green Lantern version of the first Green Lantern, the first Green Lantern.

Together with his mother, the first Lantern Man pushed the energy of the emotional spectrum throughout the universe. In this Earth 15, the first person to discover the Green Lantern energy was still the first Lantern Man, but not by him traveling back hundreds of millions of years to teach the little blue man. Instead, it was invented in Earth calendar 2014 by the first Lantern Man and his mother. They used the Green Lantern energy as a force to protect justice and established the Green Lantern Corps, a justice organization centered on Earth to protect the entire universe.

As research into the energy spectrum of emotions deepened, other light groups, such as the Blue Lantern Legion, Yellow Lantern Legion, and Red Lantern Legion, emerged under the leadership of the mother and son. After defeating the evil Machine Hunter Legion, the mother and son ushered in an unprecedented period of peace for the universe.

The first Green Lantern never imagined that this peace would be broken, never imagined that this peace and the life he dreamed of would be just a dream.

he died.

A superhuman version of the first Genie, the Son of the World.

The greatest hero of all time, adored and loved by his family and the world, the very thing that Genie #1 once dreamed of.

It can always resolve all crises, past and future, as well as those that have never occurred, win everyone's approval, protect the Earth for 15 years without ever being defeated, develop high-tech technologies, extend human lifespan by 300 times, explore the universe, and lead humanity's journey to the stars and the sea.

Three seconds ago, Superman's first Lantern knelt before the first Lantern, begging him not to destroy his own Earth 15.

The unparalleled Superman #1 Lantern, possessing Kryptonian blood, is capable of defeating all enemies and fears no one, except himself.

He could only kneel down and beg.

The first Superman, Lantern, died two seconds before his death. In his last moments, he knelt down, bearing the weight of his 15 years of infamous reputation.

But the outcome remained unchanged.

King of the Amazons, Lord of Paradise Island, founder of the pantheon spanning the galaxy, defeated Zeus, Lord of Olympus, and concurrently King of the Sky, Earth, and Sea, Lord of Storms, Father of All Horses, Saint, the first Genie of Wonders, Master of Magic, Emperor of the Holy Paradise Empire, died while charging towards himself.

In the end, he was still charging forward in that era. He died on the road to victory, never looking back in his entire life, whether out of fear or cowardice, he was worthy of the name of the God of War.

And the last one was the most painful for the first Lantern Knight.

"Mother……"

Batman, the first Lantern, merged his consciousness with his mother's to save her from being dissolved by time and space.

That makes perfect sense. The first Lantern knew that if he had the chance to save his mother, but it would require him to dissolve himself, he would definitely do it.

He will do everything in his power to preserve the illusion of the past; this is his lifelong obsession.

And now he has succeeded in keeping him and saving his mother, though not in the best way, but he really did it.

After enduring so much pain and spending so much time, even if he couldn't reverse time and save his hometown and his mother, what kind of ending would be worthy of all the hardships he had endured?

Then he realized it was all fake; he was just a Genie I created on a random timeline by Papetua, with the intention of getting him killed by the real Genie I and causing trouble for him.

Everything he did was meaningless; it was nothing more than an absurd comedy.

The first Lantern was forced to endure the pain of losing his mother once again. He killed her with his own hands, his ears filled with wails of agony. He was so sad that he almost laughed out loud. Hahaha, hahaha, ahahahahaha! What could be more ridiculous than this?

And then... no one appeared before him again.

Papetua had run out of ideas.

"you are done."

The first Genie said, "I don't want anything anymore, you know that, Perpetua? The person who doesn't want anything is the most terrifying and the most tormented, you..."

But before he could say those words, he felt everything slip out of his control, starting from his legs.

At this moment, countless Genie I figures across timelines let out a wail as some substance, not existing within them, gushed out like water squeezed from a sponge. These golden, vein-like threads manifested as energy in the lower bodies of Genie I figures.

"I have a problem with the different timelines of people I killed."

The first Lantern realized: "You're using them to control me?"

He stood there, as if he were looking at Medusa, forced to feel his lower body gradually losing control. Then, this stiff feeling started from his calves, spread up his knees, down his thighs, and then down to his lower abdomen.

"Yes, that's the only way I could think of. Those versions of yourself from different timelines that you killed weren't just phantoms of yourself; they also possessed my power. While killing them did help you unify your different timelines, it also gave me the opportunity to inject something into them. So it's all over."

When the first Lantern heard Papetua's voice, it was as cold as ice.

"It's a real shame. You could have joined me in changing this multiverse, dealing with the true danger, and then saving your home world—something no one else could give you except me. But you refused to change your mind because of a replica universe and a phantom of your mother. Utterly foolish. So now..."

The next second, Papetua saw the first Lantern suddenly swing his sword toward his waist.

Her voice stopped abruptly.
