Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

Batman interrupted sharply: "Start the vote. Raise your hand if you agree. I'll give you only three seconds to consider."

1, 2, .

Three seconds indeed! As soon as the three seconds were up, all members of the Justice League immediately raised their hands in unison, and at the same time, a large number of messengers also raised their hands in the same way.

Ultimately, Batman was right. Perpetual had both the desire and the power to destroy the entire DC universe. With Perpetual's power and destructive force, even the sixth dimension couldn't escape him, let alone these other things.

If Batman hadn't forced them, most of them would have been sitting back and enjoying the Justice League's advance. But now that they were under the threat of the three-second rule, they couldn't think about that anymore. They could only follow their own will to survive and subconsciously raised their hands.

However, even at this time, a small number of people still did not raise their hands.

"Hahaha……"

One of the ancient gods, who hadn't raised his hand after being beaten, stood up, grinning and laughing loudly. "I'm not participating, what can you do to me? Do you think I don't know how hard you humans will work to survive? Even without me, I don't believe you'll—"

Swish.

It was only halfway through its sentence when its head was removed, preventing it from continuing.

Only a very small number of powerful beings witnessed the entire process. Constantine and other mysterious figures chanted incantations to weaken the Old God's physical strength. Diana used an artifact to bind it, and multiple Supermen fired lasers at the Old God's neck, cutting it until it was on the verge of collapse. Finally, the Flash used the Speed ​​Force to remove the head.

Everything was created and completed at the same time, including The Flash, because the Speed ​​Force transcends time.

“It’s right, I certainly won’t give up fighting Popetua just because someone didn’t raise their hand.”

At this moment, Batman's hoarse voice finally arrived, "Since only a very small minority didn't raise their hands, it means that the vast majority of you still want to live, so I'm giving you a chance. As for those who didn't raise their hands, since you don't want to participate in the war, then you don't need to live. This world doesn't need people who lie down and reap the rewards of victory right now."

As he spoke, he cast a disapproving glance at the remaining people who hadn't raised their hands yet: "What do you say?"

"I oppose... oh no, I agree, I agree!"

Upon being stared at by that gaze, the remaining people immediately and hastily corrected themselves, so anxious that they almost made a slip of the tongue, and cold sweat poured down their faces.

They might not yield to other things, but in this matter, it ultimately comes down to working together to protect their own lives, so there's nothing they can't yield to; they just can't be lazy and skip going to the front lines to fight the danger.

It's better than having the Flash rip your head off right now.

It was only at this point that many of the faction's representatives realized that they had been underestimating the Justice League all along.

Although this thing has been wiped out at many times in many universes, that was when it was targeted. But once the situation changes to the Justice League targeting someone else, the threat level skyrockets and it is by no means weak.

Only Lucifer, who came from hell, remained languid, seemingly indifferent to his life or death: "But how can we, mere mortals, possibly contend with the Mother of Creation?"

“Indeed,” said the eldest brother of the Endless Family, “Even at this time, the five of us, being entities of the rules, can never directly take action. Even if we could, we would never be able to fight against Perpetua. If it were just our forces, we would have no chance of winning.”

Upon hearing this, Batman uttered three names: "The Monitor, the Counter-Monitor, and the World Maker."

"How do you plan to contact and persuade them?" Someone frowned. Of course, they knew that the three brothers in the six dimensions were the three strongest people in the DC universe besides Perpetual, but precisely because of this, no one had the means to find them.

The troublemaker was somewhat capable, but just as it was about to speak, Batman said quietly, "That depends on whether someone is willing to help."

“For example?” Senesto continued.

Batman said quietly, "For example, Dr. Manhattan, you're watching right now, aren't you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was stunned. Lucifer and the strongest members of the Endless Family were especially surprised that there was someone else besides Perpetua who was spying on this place without their knowledge.

But they have no choice but to question it.

Because immediately, Dr. Manhattan, dressed in blue, appeared without warning. It turned out that he had been in a conference room all along, but had simply altered the reality that everyone was observing him.

"Me, plus the Monitors, the Counter-Monitors, and the World Forgers, plus all of your combined resources?"

Dr. Manhattan didn't care at all that he had frightened others, nor was he surprised that Batman knew of his existence. He simply said in a detached voice, "With this lineup, we would indeed have a great chance of defeating Perpetual, who had just broken free of his seal. But that's impossible now."

Batman asked, "Why?"

“Outsiders brought new strength.”

Dr. Manhattan didn't play the riddle-maker and continued to state his observations in a calm voice: "The being called New Dark Lucifer merged with the special beings called Leaf Rot and Dark Lugiel, and rushed into Perpetua's body the moment the Origin Wall shattered, intending to seize Perpetua's body."

"Now, it is a completely new individual and a completely new consciousness resulting from its fusion with the original consciousness of Perpetua."

"The outsider's original world did not have the power of crisis, but it caused an excessive number of crises in its original world. After entering the DC universe, its past experiences were captured by the power of crisis, providing it with a large amount of crisis energy."

"Barbatos, the Batman Who Laughs, the Dark Knights, the entire Dark Multiverse was devoured and digested. Within that universe, there existed a Batman who glimpsed me and thus replicated my experiment, becoming the Doctor Manhattan version of Batman. That Batman was devoured along with me."

"Now, it is a brand new Perpetua that far surpasses its original peak. No one can stand against it. In the shadows beneath the world, the great dark hand has also stood by the side of the brand new Perpetua."

Dr. Manhattan had long since lost all emotion, so even at this moment, his voice remained indifferent, unhurried, as he slowly narrated.

But every word he uttered terrified almost everyone present, driving them to despair and a desire to die.

So, if we calculate it this way, that means...

First, Popetoa in his weakened state can be defeated by the entire DC crew plus Doctor Manhattan. Then, this lineup would most likely be no match for Popetoa when he returns to his peak.

However, there is no so-called period of weakness in Perpetua.

Because the Origin Wall was shattered by the New Dark Lucifer, as soon as it shattered the Origin Wall, Perpetua immediately broke free of his seal. At the same time, he immediately merged with the New Dark Lucifer and the other two. At this point, his power had already surpassed the weakened period that should have existed.

In other words, the period of weakness was forcibly skipped.

Then the brand-new Perpetua went to the Dark Multiverse and devoured everything, including the power of Doctor Manhattan. In other words, no matter what the current alliance's lineup is like, Doctor Manhattan's combat power can always be ruled out first.

Because Doctor Manhattan's Manhattan power was erased by the Manhattan version of Batman that Popetua consumed, it was forcibly equal to, meaning both sides were reduced to zero.

Then, on this zero-based foundation, there is the Great Dark Platform in Perpetua.

In other words, if you remove Manhattan Power from the current Perpetua, it's still something created by combining Perpetua, New Dark Lucifer, Leaf Rot, Dark Lugiel, and the entire Ultra Infinite Universe Crisis-level energy.

Oh right, the Dark Multiverse itself is also full of a lot of crisis energy, and Perpetua's meal was another large portion of crisis energy entering his stomach.

This is not as simple as one plus one equals two.

With so many enhancements and integrations, it's unclear whether the new Perpetua can single-handedly defeat the entire Hand of Creation organization. Perhaps he can, perhaps he can't.

But one thing is certain: if the Eagle of Judgment were to fight again now, it would be killed by the new Perpetua, and it would be impossible for it to defeat Perpetua as it did before.

Within the entire Hand of Creation, no single individual will ever be as powerful as Perpetua is now.

Batman: "..."

Kassa had already mentioned in the chat group that he had considered the possibility that the new Dark Lucifer might bring a large amount of crisis energy.

But when this most extreme and heinous event occurs before your eyes, it still makes you want to die.

The old bat, of course, didn't reveal his true thoughts. On the surface, he remained expressionless, giving people a sense of security as he said, "...Don't worry about those things, I have my own solutions. The key is whether you are willing to help contact and persuade the three Watchers brothers."

“I’m willing,” Dr. Manhattan replied indifferently.

His quick decision surprised Batman, who almost instinctively started analyzing the situation and trying to prepare for a fight.

But then again, Doctor Manhattan's abilities are so great that he can restart the DC multiverse an infinite number of times, manipulating Superman, the absolute center of the multiverse, countless times. Reading other people's minds is even easier for him.

Even if this mortal is Batman.

But Dr. Manhattan is Dr. Manhattan; in his presence, all thought and defense are meaningless.

Moreover, given the current situation, even if Dr. Manhattan agrees verbally but then contacts the three Watchers brothers and goes to join Perpetual, there's nothing we can do about it.

Since there are no countermeasures and concerted efforts are needed, we can only trust Dr. Manhattan for the time being.

Just as the old Batman was thinking this, as Batman knew, Doctor Manhattan indeed easily saw through the thoughts of all the Batmen and Lex Luthor present.

Dr. Manhattan had no idea how to explain it.

Essentially, ever since that experiment in the Watchmen universe where he transformed himself into an omnipotent god, his humanity has been fading away. He has no desires, and naturally, no desire to live.

Later, after discovering the DC universe and arriving here, he observed Superman and realized that he couldn't see through all of Superman. He has been restarting the DC multiverse ever since.

In this reboot, he had already seen the cause and effect of the Barbatos event, and he also saw that the Justice League would win, break the Origin Wall, and release Perpetua.

Then comes his Doomsday Bell event, where Superman will punch him, and he won't see anything after that.

This unknown scene piqued his curiosity, so he kept waiting.

But the appearance of Ultraman Kasa disrupted all the predetermined paths. From the moment Ultraman Kasa appeared in the DC universe, his ability to observe the future became invalid. He could see nothing, and everything became unknown.

This unknown is more tempting than the fact that he can't see anything after Superman throws a punch at him, because he can actually guess that he gave up observing because he couldn't see anything after Superman threw a punch.

But the unknown that Kassapa brings is a truly complete unknown.

This is why he is now willing to stand on this side against Popetua; originally, he was completely indifferent to what Popetua did.

Ultimately, even if he lost his humanity and desires, he was still a good person before becoming a god; that inertia still existed.

So, since Ultraman brought him the unknown that awakened his faint humanity, let him lend Ultraman a hand. Although he couldn't see the future, he was certain that Ultraman would come to fight against Perpetua.

"I'm off."

Dr. Manhattan said something and then immediately disappeared, heading to the sixth dimension to find the World Forgers.

Seeing that Dr. Manhattan and the three Watchers were now allies, the others, though still filled with despair, felt a little better.

Before they could say anything more, a voice filled with long-accumulated discontent echoed from the sky: "Before you go to settle accounts with Perpetua, you'll all be killed by me first!"

The one who descended from the sky was the powerful Supreme Superman. Although he had been defeated by the Justice League several times and stuck to the Origin Wall, there were reasons for that. In terms of raw strength, with the Infinity Clan unable to directly take action, everyone present combined was no match for him.

It's obvious that the Origin Wall broke, and he broke the seal as well. After resting for a day or two to recover, he wanted to settle scores.

Batman was on high alert.

But this tense atmosphere lasted less than a second before he immediately relaxed and looked up at the sky.

"Ok?"

Even the Supreme Little Superman looked up.

Immediately, a vast and numerous allied force entered through the Origin Wall from outside the DC universe, and in one fell swoop, they repaired the Origin Wall.

The Allied Forces successfully arrived in the DC universe.

Volume 1: Chapter 466. DC's Final Battle, Perpetual Clash

466.DC Final Battle: Perpetual Showdown

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "So, after Uncle Kassapa and his group of Arcane allies arrived, the Supreme Superman suddenly became an ally?"

[Why is he still dying?]: "Hey, is this guy that easy to convince?"

【I am Ultraman】: "After all, there is a reason. He could not possibly defeat God III and Delacion by himself. With this combat power guarantee, Kasa also showed the Supreme Superman the manga of the manifestation of the King of Ultra. The possibility of deception is very low, which makes the Supreme Superman willing to read the manga."

【I am Batman】: "The content of the comic is all true. This suddenly made him realize that he has been thinking about restoring the original Earth ever since the Crisis on Infinite Earths. In fact, he has always had the ability to directly reshape and restore it."

【I am Batman】: "In other words, after reading the comic, Superman the Supreme suddenly attained enlightenment and rebuilt his home. How could he not be happy? Putting aside everything else, just to protect the Primordial Earth that he had just rebuilt and restored, he had to risk his life to fight against Perpetual. Naturally, he became an ally."
