Chapter 836 Main Universe Batman: I'm an idiot, baa baa baa...
well.
Now Lord Barbatos has finally behaved himself.
Chen Tao thought to himself silently.
He glanced at the main universe's Batman beside him out of the corner of his eye.
Soon, Chen Tao will face the most difficult part.
He must reach an agreement with the other party without Batman in the main universe being completely unaware of it.
This may sound a bit convoluted, but the underlying logic is actually very simple and straightforward.
If Batman in the main universe becomes aware of something, that crystallization of wisdom will appear in the mind of the World Builder in the next second.
This trust is almost impossible to betray; if the bat even entertains the slightest thought of betrayal, the World Builder will discover it.
From the moment Batman donned the Sixth Dimension armor, his mind became completely unguarded to the World Builders. Otherwise, why would the World Builders trust the intelligent Batman of the main universe so much?
For the Batman of the main universe, he only messes things up accidentally; there is no such thing as intentionally messing things up.
But the world's foundries probably don't understand that there's a term in this world called "deliberate carelessness."
The main universe's Batman gained the trust of the World Makers by opening up his mind, and then created an opportunity for Chen Tao by deliberately lowering his IQ.
This is almost a variation of what Batman does in the main universe of the comics.
During the Sixth Dimension event, the main universe Batman genuinely allied himself with the World Maker, but he also left the main universe Superman with a possible path to success, ultimately laying the foundation for him to shatter the Baby Multiverse with a single punch.
He also did not betray the World Forgers, because if the Superman of the main universe could not shatter the baby universe, then he would also accelerate his complete failure, which would also benefit the World Forgers.
A bat-like self-deception trap; the most skillful liar even fools himself.
It seems that, faced with an unsolvable sixth-dimensional deity like the World Forger, this is the optimal solution that the old bat from the main universe could come up with.
Chen Tao, of course, wanted to seize this opportunity, especially now that the World Forgers were locked in a fierce battle with Supreme Superman.
The enraged Little Superman stormed into his baby multiverse, trying to reclaim the energy that had been stolen from him. However, the World Forger was unwilling to let his multiverse release the energy, keeping him busy and temporarily unable to pay attention to Chen Tao and the main universe bat.
"We'll talk about your problem later, Bruce."
Chen Tao spoke to the old bat in the main universe, and then, with a dog-like gesture, he leaned on Barbatos's back and used dark matter energy to create a barrier, enclosing the two of them inside.
then……
He drew a sword in front of Barbatos.
"hiss--!"
Upon seeing the sword, Barbatos gasped in shock.
"A weapon forged from various metals," Chen Tao told Barbatos. "It came from the Batman Who Laughs's inventory, and was initially forged by the Time Trapped into a crowbar-like stick using brute force..."
"And then you gave this thing to the World Forger, asking him to forge a sword for you?"
"Yes, and during the First Lantern incident, this sword returned to my hands."
Chen Tao told Barbatos, "The world's forger must have thought he could take the sword back at any time; he probably left some kind of mark on it..."
But he ultimately failed. I used dark matter cosmic energy to forcibly suppress him for a while, and then, after the cosmic tuning fork appeared, I completely suppressed the sword with it to prevent the world's forger from taking it back.
Chen Tao said:
"After I gained the support of the Anti-Monitors, I used the pitiful amount of antimatter cosmic energy they shared with me to completely eliminate the possibility of the World Forger taking back the sword, and then it just sat quietly in my pocket."
"So?" Barbatos didn't realize it at first, but after looking at it, he quickly figured it out.
"Is this the sword that caused the Earth-15 Incident, and also helped you break free from the control of the Anti-Monitor Dragon?"
"right."
Chen Tao said.
"This is a closed historical loop," Barbatos said.
"Yes, but it is also a powerful weapon. The World Forger will not be willing to let this thing fall into my hands."
"You're trying to scam me," Barbatos said succinctly.
"Ahem, I'd like to make some strategic arrangements," Chen Tao corrected Barbatos's erroneous statement, then said, "I need your help to remove the influence of the World Forger on this sword."
"Why don't you look for those who oppose surveillance?"
Barbatos asked, "Don't think I don't know who's backing you. Before me, the gods of the sixth dimension are as conspicuous as torches in the night."
"I don't trust the anti-surveillance agents." Then he received Batman Dragon's reply.
"Please, I only trust you, Lord Barbatos!"
Barbatos simply assumed the bat was excreting bat droppings.
Despite his angry outburst, Barbatos finally asked, "What do I need to do?"
"As I said, besides cleaning this sword, I also need your help..."
Chen Tao opened his palm, and a small, messy lump of flesh twitched in his palm like an earthworm.
"We'll quietly incorporate a portion of Superman Supreme's flesh and blood into this sword, then have the World Forger take back his creation, and then we should gamble that he won't examine it closely."
Chen Tao did not tell Barbatos the truth.
First, he concealed from Barbatos the emotional spectrum rings he had left on the crowbar during his crowbar days, which he had then given to the world's founders.
These rings are not for the sword, but for Parallax Morhal, whose body has been taken over by the World Forger.
Secondly, he wasn't foolish enough to gamble that the World Forger wouldn't examine the sword carefully; rather, he intended to use the flesh and blood to conceal the tampering he had actually done to the sword, and then integrate it all into the blade.
"Next, I will ask you to pretend to attack me while you are merging the three branching timelines back into the main universe timeline, so that I will take out this sword to attack you."
Chen Tao told Barbatos, "Now it's time to test your acting skills. Our ultimate goal is to get this sword into the hands of the main universe's Batman, understand?"
"What kind of scheme are you plotting now...?"
Barbatos asked this question, but Chen Tao immediately interrupted him: "It's not a conspiracy."
He corrected, "This is strategy."
Barbatos did as he was told, and he stopped asking what was going on.
Even as a servant god of the World Maker, Barbatos's power remained immense, and he was so familiar with the World Maker that the marks they used could not be hidden from him.
He could easily remove the engraving left on the sword by the World Forger, the kind of engraving that could recall the sword at any time.
"I'm all better." He handed the sword back to Chen Tao, then asked, "And what about that piece of flesh...?"
"Let me try it out myself first." Chen Tao immediately ignored Barbatos and began his experiment. He drove Barbatos out of the barrier he had created with dark matter energy, and then took a deep breath.
He lied to Barbatos again.
What he relied on was never the flesh and blood of some supreme little superman, and the little bit of flesh and blood attached to this sword was meaningless and would be discovered by the other party soon.
What could truly help him go further, leaving a backup plan on this sword, was the energy of the emotional spectrum... Yes, the energy of the emotional spectrum.
Previously, Chen Tao had already used that crowbar to provide some emotional spectrum support to Parallax Mohal, whose body was occupied by the World Forger. However, at that time, his understanding of the emotional spectrum was not deep enough, and the power he used was very primitive, consisting of some colored light rings.
He used the crowbar to leave the lamp rings inside Parallax Demon Hal's body, but he couldn't even establish any connection with Hal through these rings; everything vanished without a trace.
Clearly, even though the ring was an extremely powerful weapon, it was not enough to allow Parallax Morhal to escape.
After obtaining those rings, Hal may have regained some consciousness, or he may not have, but in any case, he didn't tell Chen Tao. However, Chen Tao needed Hal more than Hal needed him.
The world's forgers are dying, that's a fact.
But the deaths of the World Builders and the Anti-Monitors are somewhat different.
He left his body in the World Forge. Compared to the Anti-Monitor who was killed by the heroes, the World Forger who voluntarily gave up his life seemed to have entered a more peculiar state, becoming a ghost-like aggregate of power, even capable of reshaping his body.
Therefore, if we want to give Parallax Morhal more power, we should increase his connection with the emotional spectrum.
When the Lantern Man died in front of Chen Tao, Chen Tao suddenly felt that his connection with the emotional spectrum had become much deeper than before.
Originally, when he picked up the Green Lantern and Yellow Lantern rings, his attack power was at most just flashing the lights, which wasn't considered particularly outstanding among Green Lanterns.
But he has now begun to be able to detect the presence of other Green Lanterns on the emotional spectrum.
He has become much stronger in his control over the spectrum, strong enough to cast magic on the weapon on his own.
Parallax Morhal needed these, and he added a significant amount of yellow light energy, the power of fear, to this sword.
Soon after, when the main universe's Batman saw Barbatos and Batman Dragon emerge from behind the barrier together, he saw Batman Dragon holding a sword and standing behind Barbatos.
Barbatos slowed his pace slightly, then faced Batman Dragon.
"Let's get started, Barbatos. This is all for the fight against the World Forgers... Let's put the timelines back together. Only you can do this. The Cosmic Tuning Fork was abandoned by Superman Supreme on that forked timeline; we'll retrieve it. It won't be difficult."
Chen Tao said, "We need to repair the universe first. As for invading the main universe, that won't happen this time. Do you agree?"
Barbatos nodded.
The main universe's Batman stared blankly.
He didn't even have the thought of "why" pop into his head; his mind was as clear and calm as a pool of water.
Soon enough, they appeared outside the cosmic tuning fork.
Chen Tao landed on the ground, looked around at the landscape which resembled an abandoned factory, and then looked up at the cosmic tuning fork that seemed to pierce the clouds.
"Control remains with Superman Supreme; we can only borrow it temporarily... but it's enough."
Chen Tao said.
The counter-surveillance agents were providing Chen Tao with power and authority, and with a deafening roar, the entire timeline was soon in an uproar.
Three fragmented timelines.
Because the Batman Who Laughs forcibly fused the three timelines together, the entire history of this timeline is a mess. One moment the Brother Eyes and the arrival of the Corruption Kingdom erupt together, and the next moment the Amazonian war is stained with the corpses of the Corruption Kingdom.
Ruins were everywhere; the world was in ruins.
Countless decaying black corpses and mechanical insects from a post-apocalyptic future wander aimlessly across the land. The world begins to tremble, and history is shifting. Countless mechanical insects and corpses, flashpoint scavengers fleeing the ruins...
Their history trembled.
It all started with a scavenger suddenly transforming into a woman. In the main universe's timeline, this male scavenger did not exist; he was born as a woman.
Then, a rotting corpse flying around in mid-air suddenly finds itself falling from the sky, flailing its arms and legs, because in the timeline of the main universe, it is a normal human being.
One by one, the ruins of the past were erased and destroyed as if rewinding a tape, and then restored to their original state.
There are also once bustling cities and markets that, one afternoon, suddenly transform back into dilapidated towns, as if a gentle breeze had swept through. Since none of the earth-shattering disasters of the past have occurred, how could these towns, given their geographical location, possibly attract so many survivors?
But we have to ask a question:
From a philosophical perspective, were the beings from the three timelines that disappeared because the main universe's history was restored considered destroyed?
If this is considered destruction, then can Chen Tao also be considered to have slaughtered all living beings?
From a macroscopic perspective that is unobservable to ordinary people, above the trans-temporal flow, the timeline also trembles and resonates gently.
The main universe's Batman watched silently. He watched as his familiar history returned, as he looked at that normal world.
A faint light flickered in his clear, foolish eyes, but it was instantly extinguished by the main universe's Batman himself. Such a light shouldn't exist in a dim-witted, stupid person.
Just then, he saw Barbatos behind Batman reveal his claws.
Ah ha, Barbatos is probably going to betray us.
The main universe's Batman was lost in thought.
Hehe, I'm such a fool, that's all I can think of!
