What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 453 Anti-Monitor...Who is he? ? ?

"Then...that darkness is actually countless shadow demons."

At the Pentagon, Amanda Waller stood up suddenly and stared at the screen.

She has experienced wars, superhuman wars, countless crises that threaten human security, and there are even many terrible things that even Batman doesn't know about. She has experienced things that are enough to scare the bravest souls.

Yet even she quailed before the dark, cold face of death itself, and what she saw in those burning eyes... was the end of it all.

On the street, countless pedestrians screamed and fled. The soldiers raised their guns and shot at the Shadow Demon, but in vain.

Gotham.

Chen Tao flew in the dark red sky, his eyes shooting out red heat vision, like a sharp sword piercing the darkness.

"Damn it."

While flying, he gave orders to Hal and Arlene Sue, the current actual controllers of the Green Lantern Corps: "Take your people and put up the protective shield!"

The appearance of the Shadow Demon cast a shadow over Chen Tao's heart...

The fact is: Even though Night Owl proactively revealed a lot of information about the Counter-Monitor to him, Chen Tao still knew very little about the Counter-Monitor.

In the comics he read in his previous life, the powers of the anti-monitors in different major events in different periods were very different.

There is the Great Demon of Destruction who almost destroyed the entire DC universe during "Crisis on Infinite Earths", there is also the period of weakness when half of the body was broken by Superboy Prime during "Sinestro Corps War", and there is even the period of "Flashpoint" in the New 52. "After that, due to the restart of the timeline, he directly lost his supreme position as a god and became a mortal named Mobius who was just enslaved by the [Anti-Life Equation].

Even during the "Darkseid War", he was reduced to a 50-50 fight with Darkseid, and it took a lot of effort to defeat him.

According to the intelligence provided by Night Owl, the appearance of the Anti-Monitor he is facing now is exactly that of the mortal Mobius from the "Darkseid War" period. He can be said to be the weakest Anti-Monitor. version of.

But the current scale of Shadow Demon was obviously created by the strongest version of the Anti-Monitor during the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" period.

Damn Night Owl, you didn't even collect such important information? !

Star City.

Green Arrow flees from Shadow Demon's attack.

Despite the protection of the green barrier in the sky, the dense shadow demons outside the barrier still make people shudder.

He rolled and jumped across the gaps between tall buildings.

Some shadow demons entered the city before the shield was raised, and he was now exhausted.

He jumped down from the tall building, and the rope arrows he shot drove his body flying in the air.

He turned sideways and shot a shadow demon with an energy explosion arrow.

He fell to the ground.

But then more Shadow Demons attacked Green Arrow, and he was once again forced to run away, but when he once again flew in the air and looked back, he saw with eyes splitting his eyes the streets were being slaughtered by Shadow Demons. The mother who protects her child in her arms...

He rushed forward regardless of his safety, but in the next second he was overwhelmed by more shadow demons. The rope broke and he lost his footing. At that moment, a green lantern ring flew into his hand...

Los Angeles.

In the city protected by the yellow barrier, Black Bolt burst out a large stream of electricity, turning countless eroded shadow demons into fly ash. He was panting, but looked up, only to see more shadow demons spreading like locusts from the other side of the joint.

Atlantis.

In prison.

Lord Orm lowered his head and grasped the bars of the cage with both hands.

"tell me."

He asked the Atlantean guards outside.

"What happened outside?"

He heard a loud rumble under the water, the roar of the Atlantean cannon.

"Atlantis has been invaded."

"By land people?"

"The common enemy of both land and Atlanteans, the Anti-Monitor."

Crunch, creak, creak, creak —

Under the superhuman strength of Lord Orm, even the Atlantean cage specially made for him could not stop him from pulling with all his strength.

"Take me to fight."

he told the guard.

"You...you are no longer the King of Atlantis."

"But I'm still a warrior!"

The whole world is like this, shadow demons are everywhere.

Earth's handful of heroes unite, their mighty power pales only in comparison to their boundless courage.

Deep in the universe, the owl spaceship.

"You see, Dick. If Batman would have gone along with my plan, this wouldn't have happened."

Night Owl and Nightwing Dick Grayson sat together. There was a small plate of snacks and drinks on the table in front of them, but Nightwing noticed that the other person had not eaten at all. This shows that Ye Xiao is wary and always only uses the Ye Xiao robot controlled by him remotely to communicate with him.

Night Owl was still talking: "If Batman is willing to accept my plan, the Anti-Monitor's shadow demon army will be defeated in front of the 80 billion orc army that has completely transformed into beasts. This will definitely greatly weaken the Anti-Monitor." ”

He noticed that when Dick looked at the tragic scenes of the shadow demons raging on the screen, the corners of Dick's mouth slightly raised.

In fact, the army of shadow demons has not yet been able to break through the protective shields put up by the Yellow and Green Lantern Corps in major cities on a large scale, but even if the protective shields have not been put up, a small number of shadow demons who entered the city can already make those heroes drink. The pot is ready.

Night Owl just intercepted some images of the area invaded by Shadow Demon and showed them to Nightwing Dick Grayson. He didn't know what he wanted to prove. Maybe he just wanted to prove to Dick that Batman had led him astray.

"Your plan will turn 80 billion people into beasts. Even if we leave aside the casualties that may occur if they kill each other, I will only say one thing: this transformation is most likely irreversible. You have never thought about it at all. Restore them to normal people. They are consumables and resources to you, but they are not human beings.”

"They are warriors fighting for their own survival." Ye Xiao said: "Their transformation can increase the probability of victory for this world." Ye Yi was silent, and then he said word by word: "Let the untrained "Civilians going to war are not what heroes should do."

"If the world is going to be destroyed, then there is no point in worrying about these things." Ye Xiao said: "When a world must struggle to survive, considering moral principles is undoubtedly a kind of slow suicide."

"There must be other ways." Nightwing said.

"There is no other way." Ye Xiao said: "Either use the red beast of all living beings to transform everyone, and then let them fight with the shadow demon, at the cost of becoming bloodthirsty beasts, or let them remain helpless beasts. The powerful people, and then sit back and watch everyone being slaughtered by the shadow demon. "

He said to Nightwing: "Tell me, how do you choose?"

"Batman must have other plans." Nightwing said: "He will save everyone, and no one will die today."

"Someone has died." Ye Xiao said.

Nightwing was indifferent and kept talking to Batman. Nightwing didn't want to admit his emotions.

He continued: "He died at the hands of the Shadow Demon. If he could turn into a beast, he could still die together, but now there is no chance, and there will be no chance again."

Night Owl said: "Batman's moral code has poisoned the world. This world should have a chance to escape from the clutches of the Anti-Monitor..."

Then all of a sudden, the monitor goes black.

This made Night Owl's words come to an abrupt end.

He tapped a few times on the keyboard next to him, trying to switch to other surveillance screens, but it was pitch black everywhere.

"what happened?"

He whispered to himself.

Nightwing slowly stood up from the chair.

Night Owl was still there switching monitors until he switched to a monitor outside the earth.

Then...then he saw Batman standing alone in the vast starry sky, holding a bottle in each hand.

Wait, bottle?
A blue planet is suspended quietly in the bottle, looking as beautiful as a light bulb shining inside the bottle.

In the other bottle, countless black shadow demons that were shrunk and as small as ants were looking blankly for non-existent attack targets.

"Batman...Batman shrunk the earth and stuffed it into a bottle." Nightwing said, "Using Brainiac's technology."

"This... this is unreasonable." Ye Xiao paused and then said:
"This is by no means something that can be done in a short time. It's not like I haven't studied Brainiac's technology. His shrinking light can naturally shrink a city in an instant, but if you want to shrink a city What does the planet do..."

"Batman has wanted to do that for a long time." Then he heard Batman's Dick's lilting voice: "Batman has expected the worst. He...he has done it. Always."

Ye Xiao looked at Ye Yi's side face. His bright eyes shone as brightly as the autumn water reflecting the stars.

And the sad thing is... this light does not belong to Night Owl.

……

……

……

"I really didn't expect that the Wandering Earth Plan would come into play at this time..."

Chen Tao put the earth in the bottle into his stomach and muttered silently in his heart: "Help, I guess Luther is going to say something to me again, 'You can't put humans in bottles to protect them.' , Luthor hates this the most... This is also his main argument for attacking Clark."

"But if I release everyone after the matter is over, I won't incur his abuse..."

While he was thinking, he took a deep breath.

Although he has put the earth in a bottle, it does not mean that the impenetrable stance used by the Anti-Monitor to wrap the earth has completely disappeared. On the contrary, Chen Tao himself is still in this stance, such as A cricket caught in a giant trap.

And then...

He supposed he would soon be able to find the source of the evil.

"What a nice whimsy."

Sure enough, as Chen Tao turned around, in the silent space, he saw a huge planet breaking through the space. The force field that originally only framed the earth was infinitely amplified, freeing up a large enough battle field. .

Chen Tao immediately took off and flew directly towards the huge planet in front of him.

Silver particles flowed on his body, and part of the red body characteristics of the Red Death Demon appeared on his synchronized speed bullets. The biological stance of the Kryptonian body allowed him to give up part of the body used to protect his body from being burned by friction. of the Speed ​​Force, thereby using less of the Speed ​​Force to create faster speeds.

He soon landed on the surface of the giant planet, and there, he saw...

The true identity of the Anti-Monitor.

Fortunately, fortunately.

Chen Tao, who is familiar with comics, can tell at a glance that the opponent in front of him is not the Anti-Monitor from the Crisis on Infinite Earths period, but the image of the Anti-Monitor from the Darkseid War. This means that the enemy he needs to face is likely to be Not as powerful as he thought.

"From the moment you set foot on Quad Star, you have sealed your fate. Today is the day when the universe will perish."

The anti-monitor spoke, and to Chen Tao's surprise, he didn't seem urgent or even fierce, but rather leisurely and regretful.

Chen Tao had imagined his first face-to-face encounter with the Anti-Monitor countless times, but he never imagined that the other party would have such a strange attitude.

"But speaking of it...your universe is really complete."

The Anti-Monitor said: "Forget about the Justice League, which is standard in every universe, but you actually have the Green Lantern Corps, not only the Green Lantern Corps, but also Black Death, and even Superboy-Prime?"

He said: "Of all the dark multiverses I have seen, your world is the most powerful one, especially Superboy-Prime.

Among so many dark multiverses that I have experienced, there are only a few that have Superboy Prime. I have only seen two so far, and you are the second one.

You know, the last universe I saw that had a Superboy-Prime was pathetically weak. But the Superboy Supreme of your universe is actually so strong - well, by the way, do you know what the Dark Multiverse is? "

(Note: The last Dark Multiverse with Superboy-Prime mentioned by the Anti-Monitor here refers to the Dark Multiverse in "Legends of the Dark Multiverse: Infinite Crisis".

That multiverse is the dark mirror version of the DC event "Infinite Crisis", and Superboy-Prime is one of the main villains of this event. But in the Dark Multiverse, he was so weak compared to the normal Multiverse that he was actually killed by the blackened Blue Beetle.

Although the blackened Blue Beetle is the second generation Blue Beetle and has been strengthened at an epic level, even so, Superboy-Prime during the "Infinite Crisis" period should still have been in his prime, but he died so easily... )
Chen Tao remained silent.

Things are so weird that even the Dark Multiverse knows about it, and the Anti-Monitor knows too much. He wants to find out - who is the Anti-Monitor?
