Chapter 686 Barbatos and Batman's intimate moment begins
Chapter 686 Barbatos and Batman Moved Together Affectionately
"So, this is the plan."
Chen Tao said.
He has now returned to his normal Batman form. This is the furnace of the world, where flames blaze everywhere.
Barbatos also shrunk his size, and the two of them sat together at a stone table. Not far away, the Zul'Ara Batman from the main universe was bound to a cross and killed in the posture of Jesus.
This Batman, whose body is made from a rib of the main universe Batman and whose soul is a stripped-off alternate personality, is now a unity of body and soul. He can be considered a part of the main universe Batman, but he wears a purple and yellow Batman suit and doesn't even look as like a true Batman as Chen Tao.
Chen Tao placed a transparent barrier over Batman's location to prevent him from hearing what they were saying.
"In short, I must not appear on Earth 1 until the bomb is completely neutralized." Barbatos listened to his Barbatos Dragon explain his plan, feeling quite satisfied with the other party.
After reaching a cooperation agreement with Chen Tao, Barbatos treated him extremely well, even a little too well.
Chen Tao wasn't quite sure what the reason was, but he was too exhausted to investigate further.
Whatever Barbatos's plans are, as long as he can be used for his own purposes now, that's fine.
Chen Tao said, "Once you start making your move, I have the ability to shield the tremors caused by the dragging of that universe, thus deceiving the Emperor Joker. That's the most important issue."
As he spoke, he roughly estimated the battle situation of their upcoming operation in his mind.
This is tantamount to deceiving everyone and playing the Emperor and his clowns for fools. Even if Chen Tao is very confident, the success rate is at most less than 50%.
But he had to do it; all the plans and protections he had placed on William Hand had failed, and this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
He knew that the more desperate the situation, the more meticulous his thinking had to be. The failure of the previous plan was already a fait accompli, and it would be foolish to let the failure of the previous plan affect him now.
The more he made plans, the deeper the gloom in his heart grew—Brainiac, and the possible mastermind the bat mite had provided him with…
The Monitors have split into a race, and the Anti-Monitors' representatives are the Anti-Monitor Dragons. It is known that the mastermind uses sixth-dimensional power, so who is the remaining sixth-dimensional god?
Who is it? It's so hard to guess.
The world's forgers would never know that Chen Tao knew his name. Barbatos had never mentioned his former master to Chen Tao, but none of this was of any help to Chen Tao now.
Even if he knew the enemy and the target, he couldn't retaliate against them now.
All he can do now is try his best, nothing more.
If all else fails...
Chen Tao gritted his teeth slightly.
Never assume that Batman has no ultimate solution; it's simply a matter of whether or not one is willing to pay the price.
The Goddess of Death had long ago shown him that death was not the end of everything. Although the price she had offered him would not be fulfilled again after his rejection, it did not mean that Chen Tao could not become the host of the Black Death Emperor.
Hal Jordan in the main universe can pilot the Black Death Emperor like a Gundam, so why can't I, Batman Dragon, do the same?
Yes, of course, but the price would probably be that the Black Death Emperor would reap the greatest death in history. After the Gundam is fired, Chen Tao doesn't have the ability to get rid of the Black Death Emperor like William Hand or Hal Jordan. In the end, even if he can briefly control the Black Death Emperor, it's only by relying on his own power and status, not by being in harmony with the power of death.
After this is all over, he'll probably have to go to his chosen one in the land of the dead, just like the original Lantern. As for when he'll be able to escape from the Black Death Emperor's hell like the original Lantern, only heaven knows.
Using the Black Death Emperor comes at a price.
Chen Tao's expression darkened for a moment. He could have concealed this emotion in front of Barbatos, but he was, after all, a living human being, not a robot devoid of emotion. When he was deceiving the main universe's Zul'Aman Batman, he had to disguise himself as a bat mite and put on that carefree act, which was already exhausting for him.
Not hiding his negative emotions from Barbatos wouldn't do any harm; on the contrary, it would convey the seriousness of the situation to the other party, so he did just that.
Then he heard Barbatos say:
"Once Earth One is dragged into the Dark Multiverse, I can weave the destiny of that universe. Don't worry, we can win," Barbatos said. "You say you have the ability to stop the tremors in that universe?"
Chen Tao, listening from the side, felt a chill run down his spine. Barbatos was actually comforting him; what could be more absurd than that?
Barbatos's attitude seemed a bit too enthusiastic, and they seemed a bit too familiar with each other, which made Chen Tao, who had previously pretended to be quite familiar with them, feel a little uneasy.
He used to address Barbatos as "Lord Barbatos" and constantly talk about the unity of mind and body, but now that Barbatos is being enthusiastic, he has fallen silent.
He composed himself; the most important thing now was William Hand's problem.
He could indeed do that. The fact that he left 50% of the Bat Mite's divine power on William Hand ultimately did not help William escape being captured by the Emperor Joker, but that does not mean that his previous arrangements were completely ineffective.
Using the 29% bat mite divine power he possessed, Chen Tao was able to resonate with the 50% divine power he had shared with William, just as he had previously used this divine power to almost pull Parallax Mohal, who possessed 20% of the divine power, off the hypertime stream.
Chen Tao was able to use these powers to distort the prying eyes of those who were watching, making them believe that Earth 1 was still moving on its original orbit without any change.
"So this is our final plan," Barbatos said. "To summarize, you used some method you wouldn't tell me to stop the tremors of Earth 1 and create the illusion that it was still in its original orbit. Then I dragged Earth 1 into the Dark Multiverse, and my ability to weave fates fixed a destiny where William Hand would never die. Thus, you saved your Robin, right, my brother?"
Chen Tao was almost driven crazy by Barbatos's bizarre behavior of going against the natural order. After the initial confusion, he seemed to realize some of the reasons... Was Barbatos trying to get closer to him?
But as a dark multiverse dragon born with the responsibility of destruction, Barbatos doesn't seem to know what it means to build relationships, which is why he's acting so strangely... Or does Barbatos have another conspiracy that he's completely unaware of?
In short, with the final plan finalized, they should start taking action now, otherwise, if they delay, there will be even more variables on the Emperor Joker's side.
Chen Tao waved his hand and removed the barrier in front of Zu'er Bat. They walked up to each other. Barbatos, who had previously transformed into a normal human form, had grown slightly larger and regained part of his original size. He then extended his sharp claws and tore open Zu'er Batman's uniform, revealing his muscular physique.
Despite this, Batman still tried to distract them by talking, delay their actions, gather more intelligence, and then look for weaknesses.
But whether it's Batman Dragon or Barbatos, they both seem to only have eyes for each other at this moment; Zul'A Batman is nothing more than a useful tool to them.
Then Barbatos's claws lightly touched the Ancestral Bat, and in an instant, this part of the main universe's Batman let out a wail!
In an instant, Bruce Wayne, the Batman of the main universe, also screamed in pain while lying in bed. He was on an IV drip, and all the members of the Bat-family of the main universe surrounded him.
This is the Batcave. After Chen Tao removed one of Bruce's ribs from the main universe, he took away his alternate personality, Zul'Aa. However, losing a rib out of thin air still left the main universe's Batman lying in a hospital bed.
The instruments beside him were buzzing; after all, he was missing a rib, and Bruce's entire nervous system was sending questions to his brain:
Where did the missing bone go?
At this moment, Bruce Wayne remained unconscious, even as he screamed in agony.
As the Dark Multiverse shifted, the screams of Batman in Zul'Ara reached their climax. In the Batcave's treatment room, all the Bat-family members pinned the struggling Bruce down, and he collapsed to the ground like a corpse.
Bruce Wayne was dreaming. He was dreaming again, but it wasn't a dream brought to him by the God of Dreams; it was a dream he had already experienced himself.
The Dream God can no longer sense the Batman of the main universe, but the Time Stream can still provide enlightenment to the Batman of the main universe through some unexpected changes—really?
At this point, Bruce didn't know who had brought this dream to him, and he confused it with the dreams brought by the Dream God before. But in any case...
In his dream, Bruce saw a monstrous dragon wearing a cloak, with tattered wings spread behind it, possessing withered, enormous claws and dark, hollow eyes. He inexplicably knew its name:
Barbatos.
Bat Dragon, Lord of the Dark Multiverse.
He felt an abyss-like terror, and then he turned his head and saw an even more bizarre sight.
The other strange monster appeared to be slightly smaller than Barbatos, and its body was covered in a layer of black keratin.
Its shape is more like a dragon with bat ears, but the clown's smiling face is always fixed on this dragon-shaped face.
Features of the drowned vengeful spirits and other Dark Knights appeared on his face. Bruce from the main universe didn't understand what these were, but he could still see the shadows of many Justice League members in these features. Metal tentacles similar to Brainiac's emerged from his jaws from time to time, swaying and protruding from his claws were Doomsday's bone spikes, and his body was wrapped in black and red Speed Force.
He didn't read the name of the monstrous dragon, which was smaller than Barbatos, but he heard Barbatos say to the dragon in his dream:
"I've done my job, Batman Supreme. Now it's your turn. Shield Earth One from tremors, and let's keep a low profile."
Then he heard the bat-like dragon say in a gruff voice, "God, don't call me Batman Supreme. Barbatos, where did you hear that name from?"
"Understood, Batman Supreme."
"We're not going to talk about that now. I've already blocked it all. Let's get back to work, Barbatos. That's enough of this."
"Call me Lord Barbatos."
"I'm in a hurry right now. I don't have time to waste talking to you."
"All right."
The two dragons colluded, cackling and groaning. Bruce Wayne yelled and jumped out of bed. He looked around at everyone; the entire Bat-family was watching him with concern.
Bruce Wayne frowned, wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and then quickly processed the information he could still remember:
"Earth 1, Barbatos, and Batman Supreme... they're in cahoots! Earth 1."
He turned to Alfred, who was standing beside him, and said, "Contact the Justice League for me, right now. Earth 1, I've found a target location."
A dream, not brought by the Dream God, pointed Bruce Wayne, the Batman of the main universe, to the correct location, but led him to misunderstand the wrong enemy.
This dream did not help the hyper-time flow, but rather it deliberately guided immune cells to engulf the hyper-time flow viruses.
Although immune cells are indeed immune cells and viruses are indeed viruses, who can say for sure whether this virus is helping the gut eliminate bacteria at this moment?
……
……
……
"Honey, is Earth 1 still reacting?"
"No, not at the moment," said the Anti-Monitor Dragon.
At this moment, Emperor Joker and his group of Anti-Monitor Dragons were squatting on the outer edge of the Earth-1 universe. Anti-Monitor Dragon volunteered to act as a monitor, which was somewhat strange. It was strange that the arrogant Anti-Monitor Dragon would volunteer to do this, but Emperor Joker agreed.
Among this group, the Time Trapped, who had disappeared for a while, returned at some point. The Emperor Joker didn't know why he had deserted, but that didn't matter. In the Emperor Joker's eyes, no one else mattered; only Batman was important, and only Batman. He only needed to ensure that his plan could be completed on time. As for the escape or operation of these consumables, it was irrelevant to the Emperor Joker.
He was certain that the people he had placed on Earth-1 were the original Lantern, Parallax Morhal, and William Hand themselves. None of them were problematic; no one could switch them out in front of him, and that was enough.
And in the shadows, unnoticed by the Emperor Joker...
The anti-monitors and the time-trapped exchanged a glance.
