Chapter 551 Batman Eats His Own Teammate
"The situation is getting worse."
The Time Master slumped to the ground, clutching his head.
"Uh... I don't quite understand."
Golden Vanguard said, "It seems the Anti-Monitor and Barbatos have reached some kind of agreement. Batman and the heroes of the multiverse are about to be utterly defeated. Isn't this what you call 'timeline self-correction'? Next, the Anti-Monitor will destroy Earth-15, and then history will return to normal?"
The Time Master listlessly showed the instrument he was holding for observing the future to Golden Vanguard.
Then he saw a blank space.
"What do you mean?"
"The Anti-Monitor devoured all the positive matter universes; everything disappeared."
(Note: This is precisely the outcome after the Anti-Monitor wins in Crisis on Infinite Earths. At the end of Death Metal, the Batman Who Laughs rewards the Anti-Monitor, Darkseid, and Superman Supreme with a Dark Multiverse representing their victorious ending.)
"this……"
Golden Vanguard sometimes acts a bit naive, but that doesn't mean he's stupid. He suddenly realized something, but he couldn't believe it.
He asked the Time Master, "What does this mean?"
"This means that after the Anti-Monitor defeated the Batman of that Dark Multiverse and the superheroes from those sources, the Anti-Monitor never intended to destroy Earth-15 in order to restore the healthy operation of the multiverse's hypertime flow."
The Time Master said, "Or we don't necessarily have to let Earth 15 survive. For example, we could kill Hurricane and his mother before the first Lantern gets the Light and escapes to other multiverses, thus erasing the history at its source that Hurricane might have taught the Guardians of the Universe the emotional spectrum."
"Then the current multiverse will be overturned, all the Green Lanterns will disappear, and the history of the multiverse will be rewritten."
Golden Vanguard murmured, "And the Anti-Monitors could also use this opportunity to change the outcome of the First Crisis... This is too radical! Have the Anti-Monitors gone mad to do this?"
"Such behavior would drive the Hypertime Stream to a frantic self-preservation frenzy, constantly sending powerful figures from various timelines here in an attempt to complete the causality and desperately try to achieve the historical feat of 'Emperor Number One Escapes in the Time-Traveling Lamp.' The Anti-Monitor would have to fight against almost all the powerful figures in the Hypertime Stream while in an incomplete state. Is he really that arrogant?"
"The counter-surveillance agent is impatient, extremely impatient. We don't know why, but one thing is certain... he really intends to do it. Whether he succeeds or not, this is a huge problem."
(Note: The reason why the Anti-Monitor is so hasty in taking this risky gamble is that his mother, the Mother of the Multiverse, Papetua, is about to break free. This is also the reason why the World Forger is forging his own Hypertime Stream in an attempt to replace the existing Hypertime Stream.)
The Time Master suddenly said, "Why don't we try to stop that Batman from the Dark Multiverse..."
"His history is solidified, like dried concrete," Golden Vanguard said. "And we tried to intervene before it was fully dry, but we could only keep going around in circles in Fiji. Let's give up on that idea."
He said, "We must find a way to intervene on the battlefield."
"Intervene? How?" the Time Master said, "With just the two of us? Or are you planning to have me recruit more team members?"
He said, "Come on, I can't interfere with the timeline, so I can only recruit minor characters who won't affect it even if they disappear. Characters like Black Canary and Captain Cold are the best I can find in a short time. Do you think they're capable of participating in this kind of battle?"
“I wasn’t referring to any of that, listen to me.” Gold Vanguard denied the other’s point, then said to him, “Batman swallowed the heart that Barbatos used to power him, do you remember? So strictly speaking, from the moment he swallowed the heart, he was already the Dragon of Barbatos.”
"And now Barbatos has poured energy into the Anti-Monitor's puppet, increasing the vessel's energy capacity and allowing the Anti-Monitor to project even more energy. But none of this changes the Anti-Monitor's true nature: he is the Dragon of Barbatos!"
The more Golden Vanguard explained, the clearer his thinking became:
"Two Barbatos Dragons have appeared on one timeline. Their essence is similar. Barbatos made the same changes to them. The title of Barbatos Dragon cannot be split in two. Barbatos has now occupied the position of the World Forger, while his former position can only be occupied by one person. Batman and the Anti-Monitor must decide a winner."
"What you said is all very good, but Batman in the current situation cannot defeat the Anti-Monitor. In the Dark Multiverse, this Batman may be a top performer, but every Dark Multiverse is a defective product. Do you remember? They are all flawed products forged by the World Maker, which is why they fall into the Dark Multiverse instead of rising to the orbit of the positive universe."
The Time Master said, "The heroes and villains in each Dark Multiverse are far weaker than those in the Positive Multiverse. In fact, the mass and cosmic rules of the Positive Matter Universe are more stable than those of the Dark Multiverse! His individual power is merely that of an ordinary member among these 3000-plus heroes. It is impossible for him to defeat the Anti-Monitor."
He added, "And even if we manage to get Batman to defeat the Anti-Monitor, once he uses too much of the Barbatos' power and kills the Anti-Monitor, he will completely transform into the full Barbatos Dragon."
He might even absorb the anti-monitors and become even more terrifying! And in that state, his mind would be completely corrupted by Barbatos, making him Barbatos' slave.
We've solved the current problem, but we've also created a powerful ally for Barbatos. At this rate, he might soon be forging a dark new future for us!
As the Time Master spoke, he suddenly fell into deep thought again:
"unless……"
"Unless we can get Batman to use Barbatos's energy without being corrupted by him, and also become strong enough. Listen, Richard, I have a plan. We need to link the minds of all 3000+ heroes with Batman, so that this collective consciousness is strong enough to resist Barbatos's control."
We also need to integrate these 3000+ heroes with Batman so that Batman can draw power from them, thereby achieving a balance with Barbatos's energy and preventing Barbatos from influencing Batman's physical energy.
"This plan is feasible, but how do we...?"
The Time Master had barely uttered half a sentence when he saw the Golden Vanguard staring at him expectantly.
"...You don't expect me to come up with a solution, do you?"
"You're a master of time; you always have plenty of time, don't you?"
"By the way, before we solve this problem, we need to find a strong enough guy to temporarily hold off the anti-surveillance agents."
……
……
……
"Damn it, something's happened."
Chen Tao heard a tiger beside him say something.
This isn't some random random appearance; this guy is the amazing tiger Tawchi Tawney, who first appeared in "The Adventures of Captain Fantastic." He's a tiger-headed man who wields the power of Shazam and possesses human intelligence. He's dressed like a gentleman in a green plaid tweed suit and even carries a walking stick.
Then it waved its walking stick and unleashed a bolt of lightning: "That thing has gotten stronger!"
Beside him stood a burly man wearing a helmet adorned with flying feathers and a chain slung across his chest; he was the superhero Warlord. He had just been knocked away, but his superhuman physique ensured his safety.
He didn't hear what the tiger next to him was saying. Just as he was about to charge forward again, he looked up and saw a shadow that grew taller and taller.
"Good heavens," he said.
The Supergirl, whose breasts were as big as her buttocks, was thrown backward by the Anti-Monitor's suddenly enlarged body. The Anti-Monitor swung its arm, sending a large number of Supermen flying like straws. Its size was rapidly increasing, and then some change ripped through its armor.
I feel...
The light of the anti-life equation gushed out from his seven orifices, and the anti-monitor gradually began to transform into a crouching position. Then, his back split open, and two huge fleshy lumps grew wildly from his body.
A deep rumble emanated from his bones, like the awakening of ancient mountains and rivers, and every inch of his skin was undergoing earth-shattering changes.
As he continued to grow larger, his armor tore apart inch by inch, revealing his rough, hard skin, which resembled wood. Then, his deep red eyes transformed into blazing golden fireballs.
As he hunched his shoulders, the bulging muscles peeking out from under his armor transformed into hard scales that covered his entire body.
The two fleshy spheres continued to grow larger, and finally burst open. Immediately afterwards, a pair of huge wings suddenly spread out from the sides of the back of the anti-monitor, covering half of the night sky.
A superhero called Atom Smash grew larger and charged at the Anti-Monitor, trying to grab its wings, but his arm disappeared in a flash of white light.
Amidst the deafening screams of the Atom Crusher, the future timeline is also changing wildly.
All the superheroes turned into floating corpses in space... Batman died and merged with the Anti-Monitor to become the Barbatos Dragon... Superman the Youngster killed everyone, including Genie I...
A myriad of possibilities intertwine and explode in the future timeline, and no matter how much the super-time flow tries to patch it up, it can never achieve logical consistency.
The timeline must respond to and correct itself in response to this chaotic situation, but no matter how it is modified, the result is always a failure.
During the Seneca Legion's War.
"Aa ...
After gaining full recognition from and merging with the Ion Shark, and given that his race possesses physical attributes similar to those of Kryptonians, he suddenly gained immense power, capable of being overpowered and unable to be killed even by Superman Supreme.
His battle with Superman Supreme spanned the entire state of New York, but even so, he gradually fell behind in the fight against Superman Supreme and began to become more like a punching bag than an opponent.
"Drink!"
A heavy punch, the superhuman strength of Superman, struck his abdomen, almost making Sodam Art, the Ion Man, vomit his stomach acid.
Ion Man Sodam retaliated with a series of punches on Superman Supreme. At first, he could barely hit Superman Supreme's face, but soon the other man didn't even flinch. Then, with another punch, Sodam's nose started bleeding.
This is already very good. No matter who it lands on, Supreme Superman's punch and kick will leave a hole. He can blow someone up with one punch, making a living person burst like a balloon.
Characters like Elemental Kid (the one who could synthesize Kryptonite from the Primal Earth, who tried to weaken Superman Supreme with Kryptonite but was caught by the latter and thrown back at him, killing him) or the Lanterns who suffered heavy casualties, were simply not qualified to confront Superman Supreme head-on.
As Sodam, the Ion Man, reassured himself, he tensed his muscles again, preparing to receive the next punch that would make him vomit bile.
But when he opened his eyes, he found himself suddenly outside of Earth. Wait, this isn't his Earth! There was a large group of unfamiliar heroes around him... and wait, there was a strange, huge thing in the distance that looked like a dragon.
"Where have I gone? I was clearly fighting Superman the Primal..."
Ion Man Sodamart was completely bewildered, but he soon saw a Batman fly over from the side and point at the dragon: "That's the bad guy, beat him up!"
Wait, Batman who can float in space?
Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard Batman scream, "Charge! Legion of Superheroes!"
The moment Sodam arrived in this universe, he realized it wasn't his. He hesitated for a moment, but then he heard Batman yell, "Go! What are you waiting for? You've just been pulled from your own timelines to save the multiverse. If you can defeat them, you can go home!"
So Sodam instinctively felt that he should indeed fight that giant monster that resembled a western dragon; it should be easy. He could figure out the specific situation after dealing with this group of monsters.
Ion Man Sodam Art never doubted that he could defeat the Anti-Monitor single-handedly. The opponent's appearance had changed so drastically that Sodam didn't recognize him at first.
But no matter what, this guy can't possibly be as strong as Superman, right?
Without a word, the powerful Ionian flew headlong toward the Anti-Monitor.
The immense power streaked across the sky like a meteor, and the entire battlefield resembled a falling green emerald.
Then Sodam was accidentally grabbed by the arm by the anti-surveillance agent and lifted up to hit him.
bang bang bang bang bang...
As the poor Sodam was being relentlessly beaten, a portal suddenly opened beside Chen Tao.
Golden Vanguard and Time Master hurriedly emerged from the portal.
They looked disheveled, as if they'd been through many battles: "Batman, we've found a way for you to fight the Anti-Monitor."
As soon as they saw Batman, they hurriedly said:
"You have to swallow other superheroes. Don't feel guilty; only in this way can you..."
Before they could finish speaking, Batman suddenly looked up, and his head transformed into a giant dinosaur's head. Then, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed the still-unresponsive Knight Fall Batman whole. The other man, dressed in a spacesuit and seemingly collecting some data, had no time to react.
Then Chen Tao turned to look at them:
"I swallowed it, and then what?"
Golden Vanguard: "!"
The other heroes who witnessed this scene: "????"
The Time Master felt his brain freeze for a moment, and his head spun: "That's not how you swallow it! Spit it out!"
