Chapter 825 Supreme Little Superman: I'm coming to beat you to death, world!
Chapter 825 Supreme Little Superman: I'm coming to beat you to death! The World Forger is forced to take action.
"The old bat from the main universe has come looking for you. He's about to find your true form."
Barbatos's clone told Chen Tao.
"I know."
He nodded, then said to Barbatos, "You must guide the main universe bats so that they appear at the right time, without their awareness."
Then he turned to face the Anti-Monitor: "The task of deceiving the World Forger is now in your hands."
One by one, invisible threads of manipulation spread out from Chen Tao's body, gradually enveloping the entire situation.
He was like a cunning spider, quietly waiting for his prey to take the bait.
Chen Tao hadn't felt this way in a long time. Before this, he was always constrained in every way, but when the Lantern Man died in front of him, and the Batman named Old Dragon was loaded into his body by the Alfred Protocol, the subtle constraints that controlled his actions finally disappeared.
He was once again able to calmly orchestrate events and steer them in the direction he desired, while the existence and complete resurrection of the Anti-Monitor provided him with the fundamental conditions to reverse his schemes against the World Builders.
He had already obtained Hawkman Carter's mace through Luther and William.
The moment Luthor first shared the information about Green Lantern Hal's classic "Darkseid Manifestation" with Chen Tao, he had already planned to take action against Darkseid.
But he didn't expect that the world's forgers would be the ones to fall for it in the end.
And even the creators of the world probably didn't expect this.
"Furthermore, Anti-Monitor, I'm afraid I must repeat to you that you not only need to deceive the World Forger, but you also need to disrupt the ability of all sixth-dimensional gods to look back at history."
"Hmm? Are you wary of my other brother?"
"Yes," Chen Tao said. "This time, when facing the World Forger, we only need to create some illusions to deceive him, but we can't cover everything."
Theoretically speaking, if a sixth-dimensional deity were willing to search meticulously at all costs, they might very well be able to spot the problem from the illusions we've constructed...
"Ah, I can't...!"
"are you sure?"
The anti-surveillance person touched his chin.
"You mean, he might see some imperfections in our fabricated narrative, and slight discrepancies between it and actual history."
"Yes, for example, there are two symmetrical gargoyles on a building in the distance, but after a certain moment, the reflections of the shadows on the two gargoyles show slight differences."
"We simply cannot guarantee that there will be absolutely no such subtle differences. We don't have time to polish it to perfection, so we need a workaround until we are finished."
Chen Tao said, "We need to obscure history as much as possible, make it more hazy, and make these details easier to overlook."
"At the same time, this can also confuse the monitor... your nemesis, isn't he? How do you know he's not doing something in the dark? Causing trouble for him would benefit both of us."
So the anti-surveillance agent agreed, agreeing to create some kind of obfuscation of history instead of sticking to the few stories Batman could provide and rewriting them arbitrarily.
Chen Tao lowered his head slightly.
That's the key thing he wants to do.
The anti-surveillance agent slightly muddied history, and Chen Tao himself was also perceiving the history of the entire trans-time stream through Barbatos.
The entire history has been blurred; every detail is no longer clearly visible, but rather like a camera with a dirty lens.
The problem is that even the anti-surveillance agent himself cannot clearly read what he has done.
Some small details that the sixth-dimensional deities cannot notice, just small details...
That was enough for Chen Tao to thrive even in the most difficult circumstances.
Yes, Chen Tao certainly couldn't completely obey the Anti-Monitor's orders, because if he did, he would go from a superhero struggling to survive between two sixth-dimensional gods to a pawn of the Anti-Monitor.
Ultimately, whether the Anti-Monitors or the World Forgers win this game is meaningless to Chen Tao.
……
……
……
"Batman, I have a very bad feeling."
The World Forgers stand outside the DC multiverse, observing the scenes within.
He manipulated Hero Day to speak to Batman Dragon.
The timing of the other party's reminder to Batman was perfect:
The main universe's Batman has not yet arrived, but he is getting close, and Batman Dragon must have already sensed it.
He had Hero Day express his unease at this time so that he could see how Batman Dragon viewed the main universe's Batman, without making Hero Day seem too useless.
The World Founder has already traced back the historical timeline. If he's willing to look, he can always find the trail of Batman Dragon's past actions. It's all as clear as a movie recording with a timeline that can be dragged back and forth at any time.
Unless another sixth-dimensional deity helps Batman Dragon conceal his actions, all of the opponent's actions will be exposed under the careful observation of the World Builder.
Great, Barbatos has helped the main universe's Batman find the Bat Dragon.
Soon, the battle between the two bats will officially begin.
The World Forger's task is to help the main universe bats seize the mace and, incidentally, retrieve the sword he forged.
Although the World Builder made the request to Batman to "help me kill Batman Dragon," he knew very well that he could not possibly kill Batman Dragon so easily.
This bizarre... dark multiverse little monster, his birth seems to be the embodiment of the multiverse's dissatisfaction with everything that everyone does.
Like the Justice League in the main universe, the World Makers also saw in Batman Dragon a certain innate mission, a certain superior characteristic as an "immune cell".
Dangerous characters like these are far from easy to kill; it's the foolish owl who's truly dead...
The World Founder, caught up in the moment, flipped through the history of the Foolish Owl, but many details remained shrouded in mist.
He immediately sensed something was wrong, and then realized that this was a consequence of the anti-monitor escaping.
The Anti-Monitor has shaken the timeline of the entire DC multiverse.
Actually, the World Builders misjudged the importance of the Anti-Monitor's resurrection here.
Although they are also sixth-dimensional gods, neither the World Builder nor the Watcher actually experienced the complete loss of power and death that the Anti-Watcher had, and then shook the history of the trans-time flow, changing their own death.
Yes, this did shake the foundations of the DC multiverse, but the Anti-Monitor left enough room for maneuver during the shaking, so it didn't actually have much of an impact, at least not as great as when Superman the Supreme punched the Crystal Wall of Heaven.
However, in the eyes of the World Forgers, the fact that history is now so blurred indicates that other new, still-developing timelines are interfering with the main universe's timeline, and the only possible cause of all this is the resurrection of the Anti-Monitors.
Therefore, foundries around the world did not take this matter seriously enough.
Even if Foolish Owl's history is vague, it's still quite clear. He's dead now, isn't he? Why should the World Maker bother with a dead man, a dead man betrayed by Batman Dragon and then had his throat snapped by Superman Supreme?
In short, the first Lantern is dead, and the vast number of time travelers have also disappeared. This is the most convenient moment for the World Builders.
The World Forger thought silently. He watched as the entire Bat team from the main universe began to approach Batman Dragon. "Very well, begin the sneak attack."
He slowly guided the actions of the main universe's Batman.
They're very close. Batman Dragon and Heroes Day are together, and Heroes Day can help the World Makers lock onto each other.
The battle was about to begin, and the World Builder watched as the main universe's Batman raised his armor.
He needs to subdue Batman Dragon himself. The World Forger doesn't intend to interfere directly for the time being; he'll wait for the right opportunity to find a way to kill Batman Dragon discreetly, without him being in front of the main universe's Batman.
He has already made preparations...
备？
boom!!!
In an instant, the main universe's Batman appeared behind Batman Dragon, a cannon rising from the back of his silver-white armor and aimed at Batman Dragon, who was still hovering in mid-air.
Before the dark matter energy cannon, powerful enough to pierce through the opponent's body, could even fire, the surrounding space began to shatter.
"What?!"
The World Forger showed a look of astonishment. He immediately went back in time to check the previous timeline, only to discover that Superman Supreme had inadvertently found Batman's henchmen, captured William Hand, and then...
"Don't kill me, Superman Supreme! I'll take you to Batman Dragon right now, okay?"
"Now?"
"Now! No tricks. If you find out I'm lying, you can tear me to shreds right now, understand?"
The World Forger frowned. How could Batman's Dragon have such cowardly henchmen?!
Damn it, Superman found Batman Dragon so quickly. Didn't Batman Dragon even think about hiding his whereabouts?
"Damn it, Batman Dragon can't be taken back by Superman Supreme."
The World Forger frowned. Damn the Anti-Monitor, the spacetime tremors he caused made it impossible for him to easily view the timeline. Now the entire timeline was like a recording of a temporarily damaged cassette tape.
When placed into the player, although there was still sound and basic visuals, it was either choppy or had a distorted screen, and the information that the World Builder could obtain was very limited, no longer as clear as before.
"You dare to run away?"
Superman the Youngster grabbed Batman Dragon by the neck and choked him like a chick, lifting him off the ground.
The world's forgers are beginning to anticipate Batman Dragon's counterattack. Previously, Batman Dragon was always at a disadvantage when facing Superman Supreme. In the forgers' view, he lacked a reason to fight Superman Supreme, but now he probably does.
The world's foundry workers were infuriated by this.
You're Batman Dragon, yet you just lie down on the ground when you see Superman Supreme?
What about your counterattack?
No, it's also possible that Batman Dragon didn't have time to react. After all, that's Superman Supreme, who can break through space at such a fast speed, while Batman Dragon was probably still thinking about how to break the deadlock.
When someone is intentionally trying to outwit someone who isn't, this is the result.
Through the main universe Batman's armor, the World Builder can see the bewildered expression on Batman Dragon's face when he turns around and sees the main universe Bruce.
He could also clearly see the ferocity on Superman's face when he grabbed Batman Dragon by the neck.
He completely ignored the main universe Batman standing beside him. In front of Batman Dragon, Superman Supreme seemed to have reverted to that terrifying god of destruction.
He vented his malice on his former friend, intimidating him and trying to see a trace of fear on his face. This was the true nature of the Supreme Superman.
"No, we have to stop Superman Supreme."
The world's forgers are at their wits' end.
He absolutely could not accept that Batman Dragon would be captured by Superman Supreme and then help him manipulate Barbatos to complete the curtain fall.
That would allow Superman the Primal to truly reboot the entire DC multiverse, and once he reboots the universe, everything in the DC multiverse will be overwritten.
Note that it includes everything.
This even includes the location where the world's foundries are preparing to host a diverse convergence: Ultimate Star.
Even though the Ultimate Star exists independently of the Hypertime Stream, it is still within the DC multiverse.
The entire Ultimate Star, along with Brainiac's existence, will be completely destroyed in the new world created by Superman Supreme.
Brainiac will become a villain who is utterly defeated by superheroes in the historical timeline. The entire timeline that the World Builder planned for him, which transcends the Hypertime Stream, will collapse and cease to exist in reality, but will be preserved upstream in the Hypertime Stream.
But preserving it upstream is not what the World Forger wants; what he needs is to extract power now to supply his infant multiverse.
His baby multiverse needs a bottle!
If Superman the Supreme intends to reboot the world, it will be a hard reboot, a complete overhaul, tearing everything down and starting from scratch. This unprecedented reboot has only happened once before in the DC multiverse:
New 52.
The world's builders know what they have done.
The DC multiverse, ravaged by a host of demons including Batman Dragon, the Anti-Monitor, and the World Builder, is no longer as strong as it once was.
At this point, if Superman the Supreme were to reboot the multiverse again, even the World Builders would find it difficult to predict what would happen.
So this is the only way. The World Forger must step in to stop it. He hadn't even thought about dealing with Superman Supreme.
"Prepare for a sneak attack, Batman."
He remotely controlled the main universe's Batman armor.
"I'll help you. Let's help Batman Dragon escape first, and then we'll look at the other issues."
The World Founder felt something was off, but the situation was urgent, and he couldn't worry about that now.
