What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 471 We’re going to turn Superboy-Prime into a madman

Chen Tao watched Luther leave expressionlessly.

This conversation cannot be said to have ended on bad terms. Both of them exercised some restraint, but neither could convince the other.

They carefully maintained their relationship with each other, and then almost simultaneously realized that their chances of convincing each other were zero.

Chen Tao told Luther that things in the Dark Multiverse were going in a worse direction, but this only strengthened Luther's idea of ​​​​destroying other universes to protect himself.

After Chen Tao stated his own point of view for the second time, he knew that Luther would not listen to what he said at all, and that he would definitely try to implement his plan 2%.

But so what?
Chen Tao watched Luther leave.

There was no way he could tie Luther's hands and keep him from trying to save his world.

Moral standards are to restrain oneself, not to require others. Only Brainiac would try to put the whole world in a bottle.

His and Luthor's plans basically overlapped in the early stage, and what they wanted to get and what they achieved were almost the same.

"I hope not."

"It will be very fatal." Chen Tao said, "I know it very well, Luther."

Without verbal communication, Chen Tao knew very well that Luther must be able to find the heart of the planet Nite Owl and figure out how he promoted his own universe.

Chen Tao had just given an order to Atrocitus, the Lord of the Red Lantern: He must find a way to use his lamp ring and the blood of the red lantern beast to slaughter the cow and try to find a place called Zamalon.

But that doesn’t mean that both of them are meaningless:

Then he suddenly asked:
"Is this time different from before, Batman?"

He said:
"I know you have the idea of ​​​​using him, and his strength does seem very impressive, but you'd better know that he is by no means a loyal ally. Once he finds out that you are no longer good, he will even bite you in the back. "

"Correct."

"To this extent?"

He was a little at a loss and a little confused. It was hard to imagine that these two emotions would appear in Lex Luthor, but neither of them was shown in his back.

"Ok."

At this point, he believed in Luther's ability, and even if the other party failed, if he followed his plan step by step, he would be confident in getting the information.

Chen Tao nodded and watched him disappear behind the corner. Luther's last words before leaving came to his ears:

"As long as you know better," Luther said.

Chen Tao answered him in a low voice: "I'll try my best."

There is the Purple Lantern Corps, one of the Seven Lantern Corps, which is also the headquarters of the Star Sapphire Corps.

So at the end of the conversation, Luther said: "Look... I already feel that it is a little serious, but I have never wanted to believe how serious it is."

"That's right, Bruce."

Although Night Owl is no longer in this universe and has not lost his memory with the restarted timeline of the single universe, he has long given up on the idea of ​​cooperating with Batman, so he will not integrate the power of the two of them.

"Correct."

"Pay a little attention to Darkseid."

So, just let Luther do it.

He said: "At worst, we let others die while we live. I know you don't agree with this, but I still want to say... we are far more worthy of living than they are."

As the timeline restarts, the previously defeated Blood Lord and Orm Lord also have a large memory erased as the timeline is reset.

He raised his hand, and then checked the log of the Justice League's central computer through Metal Spirit. This was not because he didn't even know what was in the log he wrote, but because he needed to confirm the development of the current timeline. .

After separating from Luthor, Chen Tao returned to the main conference room of the Justice League Hall.

"And the bite from behind will definitely be very..."

"Ah."

As he approached the corner, Luther's body paused, and then a voice flew over.

"Will it be dangerous?"

"I'm afraid so, Lex."

"Okay. ...Are you going to die?"

"Don't die...Batman."

As long as Chen Tao can cooperate with Ye Xiao again and deal with the anti-monitors, Blood Cult Lord and Orm Lord together, the preparations Ye Xiao has made for them in advance can come in handy.

Then he was silent for a while, standing at the corner without moving.

"I wish I could tell you I could handle it."

"Even you can't handle it?"

"it is good."

He didn't hear Chen Tao's reply, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

If he failed, why would Luther be in no position to carry out his plan?
For Chen Tao, Lex Luthor is his plan B. Batman, he always has to be prepared.

Chen Tao needs to contact Night Owl through them or other methods, and before the Anti-Monitor breaks through the protection of the timeline and enters the universe again, he must fully unite and integrate the power of Night Owl and fight the Anti-Monitor again.

The purple light represents the passionate and twisted love that lasts until death (crossed out), which is why Chen Tao chose them.

But compared to these, there is one more important thing that Chen Tao needs to do non-stop:

Recruit Superboy-Prime.

……

……

……

Apokolips.

Darkseid put his hands behind his back, and his eyes reflected the flames erupting from the eternal steel furnace on Apokolips.

When Disad, the chief scientist of Tianqi Star, approached Darkseid beside the throne, he humbly lowered his head towards Darkseid.

"My master."

He said: "You summoned me, what are your orders?"

"You've already contacted Ye Xiao, right?"

"Just contacted, Master." Disad said: "We haven't confirmed the other party and -"

"No need to confirm." Darkseid said: "That is Night Owl. If you agree to the conditions he proposed, Apokolips must leave this universe and tell him that I am willing to help him open the portal into this universe so that he can disrupt this universe. The speed force creates a speed storm that destroys the universe. "What...what?"

Disad's open mouth He could understand every word that came out of Darkseid's mouth, but together he didn't understand what was going on.

"The timeline has been restarted, Disad." Then he heard his master tell him: "It was restarted to about 10 days ago. Your memory has been erased, but this time restart cannot affect me."

As the chief scientist of Apokolips, Disad quickly understood the relationship after the brief accident: "And this means..."

"This also means that Batman completely failed miserably when facing the Anti-Monitor, Disad. He has no ability to fight against the Anti-Monitor."

"So...are we going to escape this universe? Leave completely?"

"Do not."

Disad was silent, waiting for his master's answer.

"I'm guiding Batman and Nite Owl. I'll be the bridge that brings them together to fight the Anti-Monitor."

Darkseid said: "And when the two of them join forces to fight the Anti-Monitor and both are harmed, it will be time for me to take action, Disad."

A battle between dark gods and anti-gods...

That prophecy echoed in Darkseid's mind. Darkseid never thought about joining forces with anyone. From the beginning to the end, the only person Darkseid was loyal to was himself.

The purpose of cooperating with Batman is to have a chance to kill the Anti-Monitor and seize its anti-life equation, and to cooperate with Night Owl is to force Night Owl to directly face the Anti-Monitor by tampering with Night Owl's plan.

For Darkseid, the so-called contract is just like a joke. It cannot impose any restrictions on his actions. Whether it is Batman or Night Owl, they are the same in his eyes. The one who holds the dominant position is always the same. It's Darkseid himself.

Neither defeating the Anti-Monitor nor driving him away would have any effect on Darkseid.

The Anti-Monitor and Batman competed, and in the end, Darkseid benefited. This is what Darkseid wants to see most.

"Yes, my greatest master." Disad said.

He bowed and originally planned to leave Darkseid's side and then contact Night Owl about going to another universe.

But before he could act, Darkseid in front of him received a communication about Batman.

Darkseid clicked on the communication.

So soon, he saw the communicator of Apokolips. Countless tiny metal particles condensed into the appearance of Batman with his back turned to him.

"Come to me, Darkseid. We must go to the Origin Wall and release Superboy-Prime to have a chance of winning. My current location is..."

Batman hung up the communication without saying a few words, and Darkseid sat there, saying nothing.

"My master...are you still going to send messages to Ye Xiao now?"

he asked Disad, who was standing next to him.

"Do not."

Darkseid said: "Let's see what our Batman can do first, and then we decide."

"But..." He paused, and then said: "I'm not sure there is any way he can convince that monster."

"That monster doesn't accept any mental control. It's so evil inside that it's unparalleled, and its power is so powerful that it's unheard of."

Darkseid said: "I can basically guess what Batman wants me to do, which is nothing more than to communicate with the Wall of Origin and lower Superboy-Prime from the wall."

"But unless Batman can really control or capture the beast of Superboy-Prime in some way..."

"Otherwise I would never have lowered this monster from the wall of origin."

……

……

……

"Giving Superboy Prime two personalities must be the last resort."

Next to the Origin Wall, Chen Tao was suspended in place, looking at the Origin Wall not far away. The endless ancient giants were either dumbfounded or wailing in fear, vying for the first place on the wall to participate in the performance of an incomparably vast and magnificent scene.

Chen Tao flew to the edge of the wall and saw Superboy Supreme, with half of his body exposed and his head lowered.

With the restart of the single universe, Superboy-Prime, who was originally pushed deep into the Origin Wall by the Anti-Monitor, was also repelled by the Origin Wall.

This made Chen Tao relieved. Originally, he thought he had to wait for Darkseid's arrival to get Superboy-Prime out of the depths of the Origin Wall, and then negotiate.

He flew to Superboy Supreme and said straight to the point: "Supreme, I know you can sense the restart of the timeline."

No response Superboy-Prime lowered his head like a literal statue on the wall, paying no attention to anything Batman said.

"I'm going to take you off the wall, Superboy-Prime, to fight the Anti-Monitor, and to save the universe we live in."

Chen Tao saw Superboy Supreme's brows move, but his expression remained unmoved, so he continued to take advantage of the railroad:
"I think you remember that golden age...the Prime. The whole world, all the villains and heroes came together to fight the Anti-Monitor."

(Note: What Chen Tao mentioned here is that "Crisis on Infinite Earths" is also the first timeline restart of the DC universe. It is also the crisis that caused Superboy-Prime to lose his hometown, his most unforgettable years)
"In those days, you were a hero, the Supreme. You went to save the entire multiverse without hesitation."

"You have seen the struggle of our universe. Although this is not the world you once had, a new universe is wailing at the footsteps of the Anti-Monitor. Is this what you want to see?"

Superboy Supreme still didn't speak. Chen Tao was a little impatient. He was inevitably a little impatient.

This was different from what he thought. He originally hoped that Superboy-Prime would take the initiative to help. After all, no matter what method he used to influence Superboy-Prime's sanity, he could not be more powerful than a sane Superboy-Prime.

But now it seems...

“It’s a beautiful world.”

He heard Superboy-Prime say, "It used to be like Minecraft, wasn't it?"

"All the heroes in your world once gathered to fight the Anti-Monitor just like in our world, right?"

He raised his head and looked at Batman. When he saw the look in Superboy-Prime's eyes, Chen Tao's heart skipped a beat. He knew very well that it was almost delusional to want Superboy-Prime to help him.

At this time, there was no sympathy or common hatred in the eyes of Superboy Supreme. All Chen Tao saw in his eyes was the ferocity and malice from the heart.

"Okay, so I agree Batman, you put me down from the wall and I can help you deal with the Anti-Monitor."

Then he heard Superboy-Prime say: "But also, after defeating the Anti-Monitor, I still want to create a better world, so when the time comes, we will each rely on our own abilities."

He asked Chen Tao: "Is the deal done?"

Deal with your mother.

Chen Tao looked at Superboy Prime. He bet that if he released Superboy Prime like a fool at this time, the result would be that the first thing that happened when Superboy Prime came out was to kill him in front of him. .

He just wanted to find an excuse to escape from the prison... instead of empathizing with Chen Tao's world.

Chen Tao touched the heart of darkness in his arms.

Is this the only way?
