Chapter 1020 Today's Intelligence: The Supreme Bat is Here
In fact, strictly speaking, the solution to Hecate is quite simple.
If Chen Tao simply wanted to get rid of Hecate, he only needed to do two things.
First, find Zatana in the main universe; she knows irony magic.
Second, have Diana Prince of the main universe open the magical membrane between the multiverses. Hecate once used this membrane to block the arrival of the Inverted Ones, but once this membrane is opened, Zatanna can then open the portal—
The inverted man could pounce on her like a hyena, devouring the very essence of the goddess of magic, Hecate, piece by piece, and then kill her.
Yes, that's right. This is the fate of Hecate, the goddess of magic, in the comics Chen Tao had read in his previous life: she was devoured and wiped clean.
But the outcome was obvious: Chen Tao wouldn't let the goddess of magic, Hecate, perish so easily.
Hecate simply wants to reclaim all magic and become the magic itself and an eternal god in the DC multiverse. If she actually succeeds, what will she become?
Is it the embodiment of some kind of magical rule?
Maybe, but Hecate will not succeed, so the question of "how powerful she would become if she succeeded" will forever remain just speculation.
The Hand of the Void has its sights set on Hecate.
Chen Tao had been pondering what exactly the Void Hand could be that the Goddess of Magic could be targeting.
Is it part of death, the goddess Ramakulnash? Or the green of all things?
Or perhaps the realm of the gods?
Does the Void Hand want to corrupt more people by invading these worlds, in order to achieve its goal of devouring the entire DC multiverse?
But none of these explanations make sense.
Chen Tao clearly knew the purpose of the Void Hand, but he still couldn't understand why he had participated in manipulating and helping the goddess of magic, Hecate, to get involved in this mess.
Ultimately, although he knew the other party's purpose, the true nature of the Void Hand's methods remained shrouded in mystery.
But whatever the purpose of the Void Hand, Chen Tao already had a plan.
Wonder Woman and Zatanna are both too weak, so when facing Hecate, they can only choose to release the Inverted Man. Otherwise, once Hecate reacts, she can take back control of Diana's body to prevent the magical membrane between the multiverses from being broken, and then kill Zatanna with a slap, and the Inverted Man will be completely out of the game.
But Chen Tao is different.
Hecate was very fond of Diana's body and poured four-fifths of her power into it. Only the witch Cersei was left next to Chen Tao, posing seductively while secretly plotting something wicked.
If Chen Tao's current speculation is correct, then Diana in the main universe is essentially Hecate's new physical body.
Undoubtedly, based on Chen Tao's deductions from the comic book stories of his previous life, Chen Tao could roughly guess that our main universe's Wonder Woman would become Wonder Woman under the clear destiny of the DC multiverse, rushing into the deep pool of collective unconsciousness, and then, after a monologue of idealism, receiving super-godlike assistance from Hecate's girl and mother phases. Hecate herself, the goddess of the three phases, had two phases betray her, helping Diana break free from Hecate's control and gaining 4/5 of Hecate's power.
Hecate suffered a double loss; before the poor goddess of magic could react and reclaim Diana's body, Diana had already opened the membrane between the two multiverses and used Zatanna's irony—
Incidentally, the Reversal Man is the direct source of Zatana's ironic magic. The irony and the Reversal Man make the hints quite obvious. Moreover, the conditions for activating Sanskrit magic are so simple. It requires neither rituals nor complicated incantations. You only need to reverse the words to distort reality.
Where in this world are there so many free resources to use? If you see a free resource offered to you, it's very likely that it already belongs to someone else. Even if you use Alipay too much, you still have to pay it back.
But Chen Tao's situation was quite different.
In terms of specific content:
Even with the help of Hecate's youthful and motherly forms, Wonder Woman Diana, even if she activated her powers, could not resist Hecate's control for long.
Therefore, when Wonder Woman is in control, she can only release the Inverted Man to deal with Hecate.
But Chen Tao is different. First of all, Chen Tao is still relying on the sixth-dimensional power of the anti-monitor.
Secondly, even if he had returned the sixth-dimensional power of the Anti-Monitor, he would still be roughly equivalent to a Barbatos on his own.
Oh, of course, perhaps in many areas he can't compare to Barbatos, who has accumulated hundreds of millions of years of experience, but in terms of hardware, he is at least close.
The Antimonitor gave him the name Antimonitor Bat, which not only allowed him to easily access antimatter energy, but also enabled him to occupy a position or celestial status in the DC multiverse, becoming a highly influential deity.
Look, Hecate poured four-fifths of her power into Diana's body, just because Wonder Woman is a demigod and she thinks you can't escape her control.
What if Chen Tao also possessed Diana's spirit?
You, Hecate, are an outsider possessing Diana, but am I, Batman Dragon, not one too?
Once you, Hecate, realize what's happening, you can reseal Diana back into the collective unconscious. But can you still drive away this god, Batman Dragon?
As long as Chen Tao can meet Diana, and then find and rescue Zatana through the witch Cersei, once the two puzzle pieces are in place, Hecate, if you dare disobey me, I'll shut the door and release the inverted man.
Once the Goddess of Magic turns against them, Chen Tao believes that no matter what tricks the Void Hand has up its sleeve, it will be helpless against this.
The key to this plan is that the Goddess of Magic must not die. As long as she is not devoured by the Upside-Down Man, Chen Tao can make her do many things that leave the Hand of the Void helpless.
But actually, this matter is a little difficult.
Chen Tao knew very well that the current goddess of magic, Hecate, was now considered a germ by the DC multiverse.
The DC Multiverse isn't a specific person, so it doesn't have Chen Tao's long-term vision. If the DC Multiverse believes that having the Upside-Down Man devour the Goddess of Magic will eliminate the "germs" within its body, then the DC Multiverse will do everything possible to make that happen. The situation will then become:
DC Multiverse: What? Even Batman's Dragon can't defeat the goddess of magic, Hecate? No problem, I'll try my best and use the world's causality to drive the other immune cells to act, so that the inverted man will eventually help you.
What? You're saying that letting the Upside-Down Man eat the Goddess of Magic would be bad for me? I don't understand. How would I know? All I know is, hey, the Goddess of Magic is done for now, yay!
Upside-down Man: The Great Upside-down Man chews and ...
Void Hand: My unknown objective is complete!
Fortunately, the DC multiverse hasn't taken any action yet, which is the best part. Chen Tao thought to himself.
However, Chen Tao was unaware of what his Diana Prince, the Wonder Woman of Chen Tao's universe, had done in the Dark Multiverse, how she had captured Queen Hecate, and how she had used her to successfully infiltrate the collective unconscious through Diana in the main universe.
The DC multiverse has begun to operate, and this operation is often kept secret from the unfortunate Batman, Dragon.
Now, Chen Tao has finally persuaded the witch Cersei.
"All right."
"The truth is, you're just suspicious of the solution I've given you. You want to find another way to deal with the goddess of magic, Hecate, besides killing Diana Prince. That's why you insisted that I take you to find the entire Dark Justice League. But frankly, even if I take you there, the answer they can give will be the same as mine." The witch Cersei said.
The witch Circe said, "The corruption of Diana by the goddess Hecate is irreversible. The only way to stop this is to kill her."
"Always, there's a choice." Chen Tao looked into the witch Circe's eyes, and the witch gave in.
"Fine, fine, I give up. I can't stand you superheroes."
She muttered, feigning frustration, but inwardly she sneered. The performance was nearly complete. Even if Zatana herself came to the witch's aid, Cersei was confident she could use her accumulated magical knowledge to deceive Zatana into believing it was the only way. Batman Dragon hoping Zatana could find it for him was wishful thinking; any other option was simply delusional. As long as Cersei was there, both Batman Dragon and Zatana could only proceed along the path she had designed. Then she said, "I need some time to prepare the ritual."
"What ritual? Can't you just open a portal and send me directly to my destination?"
The witch Cersei was almost laughing at Chen Tao's ignorant remarks.
"Who do you think I am, Superman?"
"To be precise, he's the Supreme Superman," Chen Tao corrected. "He can shatter the history of the time-traveling world with a single punch and then use that as a means of traveling."
"So, where is Superman now?"
"I don't know where he went. Every time the universe reboots, Superman the Supreme is always caught up in all sorts of time-space turbulence, and then fate and the DC multiverse always arrange for him to appear at the right time and place, and then I don't know what he does next."
"Alright. So now that Superman Supreme isn't here, you should listen to me and let me prepare the magic ritual to find the place. Not everyone is Superman Supreme!"
"Okay, you're right."
The witch Circe gave Batman a flirtatious glance, her short hair still exuding an air of noblewomanly elegance. Chen Tao remained completely unmoved by Circe's flirtatious charm.
So Cersei started jumping around, displaying a bunch of incomprehensible magical characters and tongue-twisting spells.
She would start moving and then stop, taking breaks now and then. Chen Tao waited patiently by her side, like a devoted husband waiting for his wife. During one of her breaks, he asked, "So, do you know where he hid Zatana?"
"It's Zatana and the entire Dark Justice League, and maybe the Justice League as well. And I don't know exactly where it is. Even after I open the portal, I might not know where it is. Maybe it's some swirling dimension, maybe it's some other world, but what I'm sure of is that there are definitely many Hecate's guards there. Creating those little monsters is as easy as eating and drinking for the goddess of magic. We have a tough battle to fight."
Chen Tao neither confirmed nor denied it.
"So how did you find Zatana?"
He skipped over the issue of guards and began to earnestly discuss magical technical problems with the witch Cersei.
"What kind of magic is this? Is it for finding a person or a lost item?"
While Cersei was jumping around, Chen Tao also tried to use the magic he had learned from the bat mage and his half-baked five-dimensional magic, but to be honest, he couldn't understand what Cersei was up to at all.
Speaking of which, Chen Tao has also tried it. If he can cast irony spells when he is in sync with the Bat Mage, then he won't need Zatana anymore.
But they're different. Zatana's irony magic was stolen from the Upside-Down Man by her father, while the Bat-Mage doesn't seem to have inherited this profound connection. At least, Chen Tao silently tried using irony magic several times, but couldn't establish a connection with the Upside-Down Man across the multiverse's membrane. Or is this connection something that requires finding Diana first? To be on the safe side, Chen Tao would never give up on finding Zatana first.
After a long period of jumping and magical casting, a portal was finally opened.
What's next?
Faced with the split blue portal, Chen Tao once again questioned the witch Cersei.
I told you I didn't know.
Chen Tao touched his chin.
"You go in first."
"Why should I go first—okay."
Of course, he was afraid that the witch Cersei would do something drastic behind his back. Chen Tao was completely in the dark about this portal. What if the witch Cersei did something after Chen Tao went in? If Cersei went in first, Chen Tao could at least use part of his body to try to confirm the situation on the other side.
The witch Circe was aware of this distrust, and there was nothing more to say. She compromised and went in first, with Chen Tao following closely behind.
The world felt slightly dizzy as Chen Tao stepped through the portal and saw a desolate world.
He and the witch Circe slowly looked up at the sky in the same posture.
Sure enough, as soon as I stepped inside, an endless stream of monsters attacked from the horizon.
"Cersei, you're pretty accurate."
"I told you we had a tough battle ahead of us—"
"No."
But Cersei soon heard Chen Tao say something.
"No. When I said you were accurate, I only meant that you mentioned Hecate's guards would attack us. Don't take it upon yourself to apply your accuracy to other things. I never said it would be a tough battle."
He slowly assumed the pose of Superman raising his fist and began cosplaying as Superman. He activated his high-speed bullets, making his eyes glow red, and his facial expression was exactly like Superman's: "Because even though Superman isn't here, Batman is."
