What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 991 The Unparalleled Dreamwalking Version of The Laughing Bat Unleashes a Three Generations' Fist, Terrifying the World's Builder

The maniacal laughter, twitching like a spinning top, was truly terrifying. To prevent any unforeseen complications from arising, the World Builder took immediate action.

Out of caution, he didn't even kill the Batman Who Laughs directly. Instead, he tied the Batman Who Laughs up and casually threw him into some corner of the Hypertime Stream. As for Superman Chen Tao, this guy was practically delivered to his doorstep. Before leaving the DC multiverse, he took his former creation with him. The World Forger didn't intend to take Superman Chen Tao away before because it would be too difficult, not because he didn't want to.

The World Forger casually forged a divine artifact using dark matter cosmic energy. This thing was as sturdy as Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth. He simply took it and put it on the Batman Who Laughs, and he bound him tightly.

After its frenzied shaking, the laughing bat had completely lost its vitality, as if it had already turned into a cat.

What the heck? The power of the story is still influencing the World Maker. The World Maker realizes that the shadow of Batman Dragon has never truly left. At this moment, the World Maker feels an overwhelming sense of empathy for Batman Dragon, who once discovered the fact that "the shadow of the World Maker has never truly left."

When Batman Dragon discovered that the World Forger had actually been able to control Barbatos all along, he probably felt the same kind of chilling dread.

In short, the laughter is over, and next...

Uh.

The World Forger watched in disbelief as the Laughing Bat, seemingly on its deathbed, jolted awake and performed a horrifying, prophetic act in mid-air.

He seemed to suddenly sit up from a non-existent bed floating beneath him, his face first showing a bewildered expression, and then casually tearing off the artifact lasso that the World Builder had used to bind him.

In fact, it wasn't easy for the Batman Who Laughs to do this. It was like a weak patient trying to pull out the IV tubes inserted into his body when he lost consciousness. But he still seemed to break free from the World Founder's control with almost no effort. That alone was terrifying enough for the World Founder.

At this moment, the World Maker made a mistake. Without the protection of the Batman Who Laughs, Superman Chen Tao, who had always maintained a silent demeanor, seemed completely unable to withstand the World Maker. The World Maker now only needed to ignore what the Batman Who Laughs was doing and take advantage of the Batman's abnormal state to quickly escape with his Baby Multiverse and Superman Chen Tao, leaving the DC Multiverse completely. In that way, he could at least preserve the last bit of his wealth.

However, the Batman Who Laughs's behavior and power aroused the World Maker's curiosity. More importantly, the Batman's current state, where his consciousness seemed to be completely in a state of chaos, was almost like a temptation for the World Maker.

If the other party were conscious, the World Maker would naturally not cause any trouble out of caution. However, the current situation seems to be that Batman Dragon's attempt to control the Batman Who Laughs failed, resulting in the other party being caught in a struggle between the two, which seems to allow the World Maker to reap the benefits.

Now that this opportunity has been presented to the World Maker, could he perhaps find a way to seize the treasures possessed by the Batman Who Laughs, such as one of his mother Perpetua's fingers? Although the World Maker didn't know what the Batman Who Laughs intended to do with that finger, surely he wouldn't have used it up so quickly, like an energy source, after such a short time.

Once he obtains Perpetua's finger, the World Builder will be able to decipher the power his mother used to create the multiverse. Perhaps one day, the baby multiverse he cloned based on the DC multiverse will also overcome its inherent weaknesses and gradually grow into a fully functional multiverse, although it will still retain the malignant underlying logic of cosmic reboot that Perpetua deliberately left behind when creating the universe...

On the other hand, the mechanism that caused suffering to countless people became the driving force for the DC multiverse to move forward at high speed. To be honest, the World Builder didn't care at all whether the world was perfect or not. His attempt to forcibly create a perfect world was only to pass the inspection of the Origin Hands, and he also harbored the delusion of replacing the universe created by Papetua with the entire Infant Multiverse.

But now that he has given up on getting involved in this massive mess of the DC multiverse, his goal has shifted from deceiving the Originators to figuring out how to make his baby multiverse live better in the omnipotent universe.

Now that Papetua is transforming the entire universe into a war machine, his infant multiverse will have superhuman fighting power from the start. So, of course, he will choose to let his infant multiverse face a crisis!
As for those suffering infants, the original inhabitants of the multiverse in the future...

The world's foundry can only say that the gasoline in the tank shouldn't have the illusion that it's a passenger.

Therefore, for the World Maker, he successfully saw a possibility of stealing the Batman Who Laughs's spoils. The World Maker is always calm and good at planning. Once he decides on his goal, he will start to plan ahead. After realizing that things are not going to work out, he can also make a clean break and give up decisively. For example, after being killed by Superman the Supreme, he realized that his current power was not enough to complete the original plan of swallowing an elephant. So he immediately cooperated with Batman Dragon. He was also ready to sell him out if things did not work out, and then run away with his two brothers to escape to the Omnipotent Universe.

Now, a maniacal laugh, seemingly driven by mental instability, appeared before him. All he had to do was reach out and lay a more solid foundation for the bright future he envisioned.

What reason do you have to refuse?

This is almost a trap designed to exploit the World Maker's personality. The World Maker is too fond of making investments that involve high returns on low risk, long-term planning, and low risk. The World Maker is addicted to this. From letting Barbatos kill him to escape, to creating the Infant Multiverse in an attempt to swallow an elephant whole, the World Maker has been repeating this pattern of behavior. Now, it seems that there is no one left on the field who can threaten the World Maker. Superman Chen Tao may be in some danger, but the World Maker has already subdued him and recaptured this rebellious world core. Whether it is recycled or broken down into materials, it will be fine.

Superman Chen Tao was a sweet treat delivered to their doorstep, and the World Forger would naturally assume that the Bat Who Laughs was as well.

Before Batman: Dragon Chen Tao appeared, many people in DC had read comics like Superman, Ambush Bug, etc., but no one had ever seen a comic from such a distant future.

nobody.

The World Makers don't really know anything about the Batman Who Laughs. In the entire DC multiverse, apart from Batman Dragon, almost no one knows anything about the Batman Who Laughs.

Even after all he had done, even though the World Forger had overestimated him as much as possible and placed 120% importance on the Batman Who Laughs, even though the World Forger's power had greatly diminished after his death, even though the World Forger knew that the Batman Who Laughs had betrayed his master so many times, gaining power from Mandrake, the Void Hand, and Perpetua—

But the World Forger never believed his opponent could defeat him. Unlike Chen Tao, he hadn't read the comics. He didn't know what level of character the Batman Who Laughs was, nor how the Dark Knight, evolved from the Batman Who Laughs, who shrouded the DC multiverse, killed and absorbed all of Perpetua's power, and then came close to ruling the entire DC multiverse. But who could have imagined that, at the very beginning, while the Batman Who Laughs was the leader of the Dark Knights, he was the only member without any superpowers? Although Barbatos granted him some healing abilities, that was all. Even the most imaginative person couldn't possibly have imagined, upon seeing the Batman Who Laughs, that he would become the ultimate shadow—the final demon king, right?
Counterintuitively, Batman has always played the role of strategist in Justice League team battles, rather than rushing in to fight. Although his ability to dodge Darkseid's Omega Rays with physical skills impressed Darkseid, Batman's role predetermines that he can only evade superpowered characters most of the time. His role is more about tactical planning and strategy than head-on confrontation with superpowered villains.

So when you see The Batman Who Laughs, you subconsciously put it into the Batman template...

Then they made the wrong judgment.

The Bat of Mad Laughter is touching his knife.

He was like a patient just out of bed, sleepwalking as he searched for a weapon to kill—not a sickle, but even a pair of scissors would do. Ideally, it would be a sharp scalpel, so sharp that it would cause blood to gush out immediately upon piercing the throat.

The Laughing Bat lowered his head, sensing the approaching footsteps. It was the butler, Alfred.

No, they are the creators of the world.

The World Forger reached out, and dark matter cosmic energy wrapped around the Bat of Laughter's body like tentacles, beginning to examine where he had hidden Papetua's fingers.

What a joke! He's not going to kill the Batman Who Laughs. Who knows what Batman Dragon has up his sleeve? Even though he doesn't think the Batman Who Laughs can defeat him, wouldn't it be better to keep him in this silly state and take what he wants? No need to create unnecessary trouble.

Get this straight, he was stealing. A thief killing someone is already a transgression.

The Laughing Bat unconsciously embraced the dark matter energy, as if embracing a physical entity.

Oh, it's Alfred!

Although he didn't know which Alfred it was, it was definitely a reality overwritten by Batman's Dragon.

He was ready; his hand was already wrapped around Alfred's arm. As soon as he got close enough and the timing was right, such as when his hand could reach the back of Alfred's neck, he would plunge the knife into Alfred's neck.

The Laughing Bat instinctively sensed danger and stopped his attack.

The World Forger is terrifying. In the Batman Who Laughs's mind and instincts, its threat level is comparable to the entire bat family coming out together to call him "Dad."

So the Batman Who Laughs stopped; he was looking for a trump card that would allow him to fight this danger.

Even Batman Dragon didn't know what this trump card was, but he believed that the Batman Who Laughs would instinctively pull it out when he sensed danger. Because he is the Batman Who Laughs, he always has a plan. Under normal circumstances, he would never reveal his trump card until he actually does; everything would remain a mystery. But this is not normal. The unusual changes have also thrown the Batman Who Laughs into a state of flux. The Batman Who Laughs is finally about to reveal his trump card. What could it be? What could it be?
The abnormal state led to an abnormal outcome. If The Bat Who Laughs were still lucid, he would definitely try his best to avoid revealing his hand to everyone, as this would be a huge blow to The Bat Who Laughs. If you have the ability to dominate the entire game in one go, then even if you lose a lot of money early on, as long as you ensure the game doesn't end, you will always win it all back in the last round. Therefore, you should try your best to prevent anyone from targeting you and hindering your development from the beginning.

You can transform yourself into a jester, a wavering opportunist, but you must never be a potential threat. Only then will everyone ignore you, regarding you as a minor character they can easily crush and disregard. Even if you outmaneuver them, they'll retain the belief that they can suppress everything and continue to have you serve them. You can then navigate this complex situation skillfully, making final preparations and waiting for the opportune moment.

Revealing all his strength now to gain a temporary advantage is the stupidest thing to do; if the Laughing Man had consciousness, he would never do such a thing.

But now he doesn't.

The World Founder lowered his hand, and to his horror, he saw a Batman phantom light up behind the maniacal laughter, his mind going blank.

It was a blue Batman.

Who am I? Where am I? Dr. Manhattan's quantum power? What the hell is this thing? The Bat Who Laughs pulled it out? Am I dreaming? The World Forger felt like he was dreaming. He knew absolutely nothing about this thing before, neither its existence nor his memories. In the hypertime stream, it was completely invisible.

It doesn't exist here, yet it does exist here; it is Schrödinger's existence, Schrödinger's absence.

It is the quantum god, a quantum god that has not yet existed, but will eventually come. He is destined to usher in a new era, whether good or bad.

He was both a victim of the maniacal laughter and a part of it.

The existence of the Black Knight began with quantum entanglement from the moment of his birth.
