Chapter 728 The Fool of the World vs. The Laughing Bat
"What happened to Aquaman...?"
When Chen Tao arrived at the Firestorm Matrix space of Aquaman Arthur, he saw the main universe Aquaman, whose face was flushed, and the drowned vengeful spirit, whose face was flushed, trying to forcibly reward him. The Alliance Fishhead Aquaman desperately separated the two of them.
Chen Tao tried to use magic to remove the abnormal state from the two of them, but he did not get good results after several attempts.
But he soon didn't have time to dwell on it.
His senses as Batman Dragon were trembling; he felt a massive tear appear in space upstream of the Time Stream, in the Speed Force.
He soon sensed that turning point: the new 52.
At this critical juncture of Superman's disappearance, someone is attempting to interfere with the occurrence of the New 52 upstream in the timeline. Who is so audacious as to do this?
Rumble rumble rumble rumble!
Chen Tao felt a chill run from his feet to his head. After he made his original plan to capture the Supreme Superman to replace the main universe's Superman, he felt that the collapse of the time flow had temporarily stopped.
This means that the time-travel mechanism has successfully pre-programmed a future where a "Supreme Little Superman" reigns supreme as the universe's superman, to prevent the current collapse. It's like saying, "Don't collapse now, I'll pay my debt someday!"
Therefore, Chen Tao only needs to achieve this future to repair all the current chaotic and erroneous timelines, and those erroneous timelines will eventually disappear.
They were all newly created, like uncured cement. The original main universe timeline was hardened cement; if you removed the uncured cement, the path would still be the same. But what's going on now?
Chen Tao never imagined that a brand new Fenggan Road would suddenly appear out of nowhere, replacing the timeline after the new fifty-two in the main universe.
What if history after the New 52nd was changed...?
Can history still achieve logical cycles?
……
……
……
The Flash's appearance was somewhat unexpected by the Batman Who Laughs, but it was still within his plans.
Although he originally planned to do all of this after he had captured Martian Manhunter and Cyborg.
But then again.
Where's Red Death? Wasn't he supposed to have Red Death keep an eye on those two Flashes to make sure they didn't run into any trouble?
The Batman Who Laughs didn't see the third Speedster on the scene, and then he realized that something must have happened on Red Death's side that he wasn't aware of. This was also within his plan; after all, a plan without any surprises is impossible, and the key to a brilliant planner is being able to deal with every unexpected event.
The Bat of Laughter plans...
His train of thought was interrupted halfway through when he saw the Speed Force lightning, belonging to the Red Death Demon, flashing on the centipede Flash's body.
Then, in the next second, he discovered the presence of the Red Death Demon.
Behind the centipede Flash's body, a row of raised, Speed Force buttocks connected to the legs led to the rear of a Red Death Demon. The Red Death Demon's upper body, which should have been there, was missing, and his gluteus maximus, having been infused with too much Speed Force, was flapping behind the Flash.
Good news: The Red Death has been found.
Bad news: Only the lower half of the body below the waist was found.
Now a brand new problem has arisen before us:
Where's the upper half of the Red Death Demon?
As he laughed and looked down, he saw the Red Death Demon running on two arms appear beside him on the ground not far away. He was as agile as an ape, and the remaining Speed Force surrounded his body, allowing him to crawl faster than walk.
"Useless." The maniac shook his head, utterly disappointed in the Red Death. He'd be better off hoping the Flash slipped and fell to his death than relying on him.
"Intelligence." He said succinctly, not bothering to waste any more words with the Red Death Demon.
"A power to steal the Speed Force, it looks similar to Reverse-Flash's Reverse Speed Force, but it uses a trick... similar to me." Red Death gasped, "He lured the Flash into a race, but actually it was to draw me out, and then..."
"I don't need your account of your failure," the Batman Who Laughs interrupted him. "You're supposed to be a Bruce, so tell me what you've learned from this failure."
"I'm not fast enough, I just need to be faster..."
"So your conclusion is that you're not fast enough?"
"Otherwise what?"
The Batman Who Laughs was almost laughing in exasperation. He waved his hand, and the Crimson Death was instantly teleported away. Asking such a question made the Batman Who Laughs look like a fool.
The plan to use Red Death to suppress the two speedsters failed, and it even gave Batman Dragon's Flash a power-up. Now, the Batman Who Laughs has no choice but to take matters into his own hands.
The next instant, the Five-Dimensional Thunder Sprite appeared beside him, helping him block a supersonic chop shot that the League of Legends Flash had missed.
While he was talking to the Red Death Demon, he also took a moment to observe the current situation of the decapitation timeline.
Batman: Dragon is busy saving Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern.
Right now, the super-time flow is like a road that has just begun to solidify. It's scraping the road around those three targets, changing those historical events.
Therefore, for the time being, he didn't have time to worry about the Flash and Cyborg's situation.
Besides Batman and Dragon, Superman is absent, the Justice League is falling apart, the Monitor is betrayed and unable to act, the timeline is temporarily suspended, and it's impossible to mobilize other parallel universe superhero organizations, such as the Incarnation of Justice, to stop the Batman Who Laughs. Therefore...
At this moment, the multiverse is like a weakened tiger, revealing its soft belly to the Laughing Bat.
Whatever he's going to do, no one can stop him now...
?
……
……
……
The cunning tyrant is waiting for his chance.
Beside him, the Joker, with a smile, guided his actions like a gentle mother.
"I have deconstructed the Batman Who Laughs's behavior patterns, at least part of them," he said.
"Which side the Batman Who Laughs has chosen is as clear to us as the lines on the palm of our hand, but the Batman Who Laughs knows nothing about us."
Beside him, Night Owl reached out and placed his hand on his shoulder, like a stern father:
"But it's best not to let your guard down; it's far from time to be complacent."
Although it's not Bruce Wayne, the Wayne family usually doesn't have parents. But even though Thomas Jr. doesn't have parents, he can create his own, which is also a kind of parenthood.
And Wayne, who has parents...
That is the strongest!
The phantoms of the Joker and the Night Owl rose behind the Foolish Owl, like two guardian spirits. At this moment, the Foolish Owl was terrifyingly intelligent!
"If I were the Maniac Laugh, I would want to use this incident to bleed the entire multiverse," the Joker said.
"Batman Dragon is powerless to interfere; this is the best opportunity the Batman Who Laughs could think of."
Night Owl said from the side that his collaboration with the Joker was almost impossible, but it had become a reality at this moment.
"With the support of the Void Hand and Perpetua, how will the Batman Who Laughs inflict even greater destruction on the current hyperchronic flow?"
The Joker fell silent, as did Night Owl.
At this moment, the two of them were stripped of their vivid personification, standing silently behind the foolish owl like two statues.
And so at that moment, dusk and dawn embraced at midnight, and the ouroboros bit its own shadow.
"I got the answer."
"Foolish Owl said."
"The Batman Who Laughs intends to use the Flash; he wants to manipulate him with some kind of power, creating a new Flashpoint Paradox. The rampaging Speed Force will destroy the timelines created downstream by the Hypertime Stream. As the Flash continues to destroy upstream from the Hypertime Stream, the chain reaction will completely destroy the Hypertime Stream, releasing a large number of timelines that should have been erased. Although I don't know what direct help these actions will provide to Perpetual, it will certainly help him escape." (Note: Perpetual, the Mother of the Multiverse, can gain crisis power from this.)
"And the method used by the League's Flash to increase speed by adding legs will be valued by the Batman Who Laughs. He will use the Flash from the main universe to steal those legs and speed. The first upstream node of the hyperchronic flow that he destroys is..."
He said, "New 52."
His initial reasoning seemed plausible, but it gradually became increasingly absurd.
Later on, he almost conjectured the results out of thin air, skipping the stages of verification and reasoning, and drawing conclusions directly without even needing information, as if his brain had been directly connected to the Batman Who Laughs's brain in an instant, and had read all his thoughts in a flash.
Chen Tao had done something similar before, but that was based on his extensive reading of comics and the deduction he made after gathering intelligence. But Yu Shi Zhi Xiao had nothing; he just did it.
Blood began to flow from Yu Xiao's seven orifices. He had overthought things, and a large number of capillaries were burst by the surging neuronal signals, causing him to bleed internally.
But this did not stop him from thinking.
At this moment, the divine mandate of the multiverse, in its desperation, roared and surged within him:
The multiverse will never be destroyed today!
And miracles often erupt in these darkest moments. The fate of the multiverse is frequently reversed through these miracles, from the crisis on Infinite Earths to the rebirth of the DC universe. Miracles grant heroes power; miracles are a weapon, a weapon within the ever-evolving multiverse created by Perpetual…
The greatest invention.
"Yes, it will be difficult for me to deal with the Bat Who Laughs by myself. The power of Perpetual on him—although not much, and it can only be maintained for a short time—will still change the course of the plan."
The Foolish Owl concluded: "I need Batman Supreme. I must manipulate his actions. Batman Supreme is haunted by the Batman Who Laughs. Once he discovers his presence, he will surely come to make his move."
He paused, then said, "I need to calculate a plan that can 100% save the Time Stream while simultaneously defeating the Batman Who Laughs."
He said, "This is the glorious mission that the multiverse has bestowed upon me...
And the first step is...
Let's laugh wildly first, then take action against the new 52!
……
……
……
The Batman Who Laughs controls the Flash in the main universe, who has now been transformed into a humanoid centipede with a long string of legs growing from its rear end.
The Bat of Laughter sat on the other's back, like riding a snake, winding its way through the Speed Force.
He even used the League of Legends Flash as an accelerator, cutting it up and stuffing it behind the main universe Flash. He didn't waste the Flash's upper body either, connecting the League of Legends Flash's upper body directly to the back of the giant human centipede to act as a battery.
He then remembered the Red Death Demon he had teleported away, so he decisively attached the Red Death Demon as well. Therefore, now, the giant centipede is stuck to the back of the Alliance Flash and the Red Death Demon.
That speed is truly impressive!
Now, he wants to invade the main universe of the Flashpoint timeline. Since Superman has been taken away by the World Forger, the concept no longer exists in the DC universe. Even the N Superman from the New 52 era has disappeared, and the entire history is gradually beginning to collapse.
However, this is a long process. The main timeline exists, but is not fully existing. During the collapse, it will create a large number of branch timelines where Superman does not exist, like a rope with many hairs growing on it.
Once these hairs grow thicker and stronger and completely replace the hemp rope, the hemp rope will be completely finished, but that hasn't happened yet.
What the Batman Who Laughs is about to do is simple: he wants to go to the New 52 timeline to trigger the Speed Force storm, further disrupting the main timeline of the main universe and changing the timeline of the rope from a simple "timeline without Superman" to a timeline where "not only is there no Superman, but the world is also destroyed by the Speed Force storm."
The greater the difference between these timelines and the original timeline of the main universe, the more it will disrupt the hypertime flow, until it completely collapses.
He had initially thought he would end up in a chaotic timeline, but now...
Why is the timeline so stable???
The Bat of Laughter found it utterly absurd. The cement on the road needed time to harden, and the creation of those erroneous timelines, like Mao's, was entirely due to Superman's disappearance.
And because of these erroneous timelines, the original timeline should also have become incredibly weak.
However, this timeline is both ancient and stable, like a hard cement road that has been laid out and dried for a long time, and is even comparable to the original New 52 timeline of the main universe.
How is this possible? Who could create such a timeline out of thin air? Who could have pre-arranged this timeline within the hyper-time stream just to stabilize all the hyper-time streams downstream of the New 52 node at this moment?
The next moment, before the Laughing Bat could react, he felt someone stab something sharp into his chest from behind.
This was a complete ambush!
Then he heard the other person's voice: "Welcome, Bat of Laughter, welcome to..."
"The Flashpoint Timeline of the Main Universe!"
