Chapter 759 Oh no, this is all part of the Laughing Man's plan!
Chapter 759 Oh no! This was all part of the Mad Laughing's plan! He really foresaw it!
Hehehehe.
You see, the multiverse is a really interesting thing.
We live in such an unstable and ever-changing reality, yet most people remain oblivious, like floating on the surface.
The universe reboot erased some people and changed the origin stories of others, but they are still the same people.
Their version before the universe reboot was preserved in the upstream history of time, like solidified cement roads, while they discarded Chen Ke and moved forward lightly in the new era.
But this doesn't mean they have no connection to their past selves before the universe rebooted!
They will regain their memories from before the reboot at some point, in a strict sense.
amount.
Strictly speaking, after regaining her memories, the second Robin Red Hood in the main universe will recall her dark past with Talia, the mother of the fourth Robin Damian.
No!!! Strictly speaking, that's your stepmother!!!
Okay, everyone will pretend they don't remember this part, let's move on. Maybe they really don't remember?
In short, for the major superheroes of the main universe, it was more like a brief period of amnesia followed by the recollection of their past.
The timing of Superman's arrival on Earth has been repeatedly altered due to the reboot of the universe, from the beginning of the 20th century to the end of the 20th century.
The wheels of time keep turning forward, and what has passed is gone.
However, we need to be clear that the changes made by one person upstream in the timeline will also be reflected in the same person downstream in a real and tangible way.
For example, in Final Crisis: Legion of the Three Realms, the heroes besieged Superman, leaving a scar on his body, and this scar then appeared on the Time Trapped at the same time.
Because the Time Trapped is the future Superman, the "injury history" of Superman's current injuries will be reflected in the Time Trapped.
For example, the mark Chen Tao made on Doomsday during the "Death of Superman" period should have been shown on Heroesday during the "Gog War" period, which was relatively further downstream.
and so……
"We don't need to separate the Time Trapped and Superman Supreme too much, oh Swann, our old friend."
Reverse-Flash heard the Batman Who Laughs' voice: "They were essentially always one person. You, who are good at manipulating timelines, should understand that."
To be honest, Reverse Flash isn't stupid, but his mind is completely focused on something else right now.
He felt...
There's something strange about it.
The Batman Who Laughs has told him too much. He still doesn't know what the Batman Who Laughs wants him to do. Is it simply to act as the Flash of the Laughing Justice League to complete the Laughing version of the Justice League?
If it's just for this reason, is it really necessary to say so much to him?
But no matter what, the Laughing Bat continued talking.
"At some point in the timeline, the Time Trapped was the most real and undeniable future of Superman Supreme. Whether Superman Supreme acknowledged it or not, the birth of the Time Trapped meant that he would inevitably become this old, ugly, and evil thing that he hated the most, but he himself rejected this fate and erased the Time Trapped."
The Bat Who Laughs said, "So now, we're going to make Superman the Supreme take back the fate that he once rejected."
Reverse Flash felt a growing sense of foreboding. "Why are you telling me all this?"
You've practically told me your entire plan, and we've only known each other for a short time, haven't we? We haven't built any trust yet, so why are you telling me all this?
Reverse Lightning has realized a possibility:
dead.
Only the dead can keep secrets.
The reason why the Bat Who Laughs dared to so brazenly reveal his plans to him, piece by piece, is that...
With a whoosh, the Bat of Laughter, halfway through his sentence, turned and ran.
He transformed into a yellow flash, almost bursting out of the room where they were talking in an instant, and then the next moment, he was blocked at the door by Barry Allen, the Flash from the main universe.
"Damn it, what has he done to you!"
The Reverse-Flash of the main universe stared wide-eyed as he saw his Barry, the Barry he hated and loved most, the Barry he had been entangled with his entire life and could never let go of, now controlled by the Bat Who Laughs.
He stared blankly, and half of the Red Death and Barry from some dark multiverse grew out from behind him, turning him into a monster.
Reverse Lightning almost burst into tears looking at the other person's current state.
He was burning with anger, grief, joy, fear, and sighs, as if a large dye vat had been opened on his face.
He turned and glared at the Batman Who Laughs. For a moment, he seemed ready to pounce and fight him, but in the end, he turned and ran. Rather than avenge his nemesis, Reverse-Flash didn't even have the courage to lay a hand on the Batman Who Laughs.
Barry Allen, the Flash, wouldn't have done that. He's a hero who doesn't kill. If he saw Reverse-Flash being controlled like that, he would do everything in his power to save his nemesis and then imprison both the enemy controlling him and the nemesis himself in Iron Mountain Prison.
Because that's the kind of person Barry Allen, the Flash.
Reverse Flash thought this as he ran, confident in his speed...
Why so fast?
The three speedsters grabbed Reverse-Flash, with the Flash from the Dark Multiverse and Red Death grabbing his legs from either side, while the Flash from the Main Universe choked him from behind, giving him a suffocating hug.
"Damn it, Barry, wake up! I know you can!" Reverse-Flash roared, "You're the Flash, Barry Allen!"
He took a deep breath, then began chanting the Flash's incantation again: "Run, Barry, run!"
Useless.
Even though Reverse Flash couldn't turn around, he could still see the cold, ruthless face on his nemesis's face, so different from his usual sunny smile.
Reverse-Flash felt a pang of regret. He had misjudged the Batman Who Laughs's purpose, thinking that the Batman Who Laughs had come to him to recruit him!
He even cleverly kidnapped the parents of so many superheroes, intending to use them as leverage, but he never imagined...
From the very beginning, in the Justice League that the maniac laughed at, the position of "The Flash" was occupied by the real Flash from the main universe, and there was no need for him, the villain!
"So what's the point of arresting me?"
Reverse-Flash cried out in despair, "You must have some reason. Tell me!"
"Telling you won't hurt," said the Bat Who Laughs. "Anyway, you'll never have the chance to tell anyone what you know today. By the time you do, it will all be a done deal."
"You should understand... you are someone who has completely broken free from the constraints of the timeline. No one can erase you from the timeline, Reverse-Flash. You will always exist; this is the reward for causing the Flashpoint event. You are the special one; the Speed Force is immortal, and so are you."
Laughing wildly, he walked leisurely to Reverse-Flash, who was being carried over like a chick by the other three Flashes.
"You are the key, Reverse-Flash. You can help us use the Speed Force and the Crisis Force to merge the Time Trapped and Superman Supreme into one person!"
The Batman Who Laughs gently strokes Reverse-Flash's head, extending a hand as if chanting to an unseen audience:
"And that time will be a nightmare for the main universe!"
The Bat Who Laughs saw the fear and rage in Reverse-Flash's eyes.
Very good, excellent, this is exactly the result he wanted.
In a time beyond the limits of human reaction, Reverse-Flash desperately broke free from the grasp of the three Flashes and rushed outwards!
The other three Flashes followed closely behind, and for a moment the red and yellow storm was flashing continuously. During this time, Reverse-Flash tried to rush over and give the Batman Who Laughs a high-frequency vibrating chop, but was blocked by the fifth-dimensional Thunder Sprite.
Ten minutes later, Reverse-Flash, covered in wounds, was dragged by the collar like a dead dog by the three combined Flashes and brought back to the Batman Who Laughs.
The three Flashes that merged together kept shaking their heads, with three faces appearing alternately on their foreheads. The three people were stuck in one body, like a game NPC that had several character models stuck together and shaking due to a modeling bug.
Reverse-Flash, beaten like a dead dog and covered in wounds, glared at Maniac Laugh with eyes full of malice, his malice practically dripping. The three Flashes beside Maniac Laugh then slapped Reverse-Flash across the face.
"Very well, send him back and lock him up."
The laughing bat gave a casual instruction.
He watched as the three Flashes combined to escort Reverse-Flash away.
Reverse-Flash... nothing can contain Reverse-Flash. The Batman Who Laughs knew Reverse-Flash would escape sooner or later.
and many more.
So all those plans he revealed to Reverse Flash today, treating him like a dead man, were fake?
Or perhaps the Laughing Bat has some new conspiracy at play.
No, of course not.
Everything the Bat Who Laughs said was true, except for this one time, when he didn't tell a single lie.
But he still deliberately leaked it to Reverse-Flash, not because he was schizophrenic, but because...
"Tch. Such a good plan, what if Papetua actually comes down from the Origin Wall now?"
If possible, both the Hand of the Void and Perpetua would certainly want them to come down from the wall or enter the DC universe as soon as possible, but does this overlap with the Batman Who Laughs' own interests in any way?
The Bat Who Laughs has never gotten used to being someone's dog; he always knew that everything he did was ultimately for his own benefit.
The Batman Who Laughs currently has no ability to counter the Multiverse Mother, Perpetua. He will absolutely not allow such an overly powerful piece, completely out of his control, to enter the game.
Moreover, from another perspective, having been exposed to him, the Time Trapped had inevitably come to know of the existence of Perpetua and the Void Hand, and the Laughing One certainly wouldn't let the Time Trapped get away with it.
(Note: In the Death Metal event, the reason why The Laughing took the initiative to appear in front of Parm was because he had already mastered the means to counter Parm: Dr. Manhattan Batman, and the crisis energy that he tricked the superheroes of the main universe into sending him.)
The maniacal laughter was subtly plotting something sinister; usually, someone was about to suffer at this point.
Of course, all of this was part of the Batman Who Laughs's plan. He had secretly devised a scheme to ensure that the ultimate winner of the game would be none other than himself, the Batman Who Laughs!
Because all of this... was part of the Batman Who Laughs's plan!
