What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 548: The evil Batman almost killed the multiverse on his first visit

"It's coming, it's about to happen."

It’s Fiji again.

The Time Master has already mentally expected that no matter what he does, he can only open the door to Fiji in the dark multiverse, the universe of the Batman Who Laughs.

He just kept trying again and again with a bit of hopelessness, just like trying in vain to change the direction of a cement road that had been reshaped and then gradually dried up and was almost a foregone conclusion.

“I don’t think this is great, huhahahahaha!”

"Damn it, Booster Gold, stop talking like that Laughing Bat. Where are you from?" The Time Master was busy and overwhelmed, but Booster Gold was imitating the Batman from the dark multiverse, which almost pissed him off.

"What I mean is that things have already happened. Do you still want to kill Batman and his single universe to ensure the normal operation of our multiverse?"

"What? Of course not!" The Time Master stopped moving his hands and held his forehead with his hand, feeling a little headache.

"You may have caused some misunderstanding... Do you think I'm the executioner? If Pompeii survived the eruption by its own ability, I would kill everyone in the city? Do you understand the timeline?"

"Okay, I don't understand. I apologize. After all, I'm just a thief who stole high-tech from the future and went back to the past to become a superhero, Lululu."

The Time Master rolled his eyes in anger at Golden Bomber's grimace.

"I'm now looking for a way to preserve the crazy and laughing version of Batman and his dark multiverse, while preventing the multiverse from suffering badly because of his misdeeds! I want the best of both worlds!"

"So you found a solution?"

"……No."

The Time Master held his head in pain. "A huge number of chain reactions... causal connections on hundreds of different timelines, with more than 3000 people involved! I'm going crazy! It even involves the big mess that Hal Jordan caused!"

(Note: The big mess mentioned by the Time Master here refers to the DC event "Zero Hour", which is what Hal did after he fell into evil in order to resurrect 700 million residents of Coast City.)
"I think you might as well..."

"Shut up, Golden Bomber."

"Oh."

……

……

……

Since his defeat in the First Crisis (Crisis on Infinite Earths), the Anti-Monitor has been constantly trying to reverse the outcome of that battle and rewrite reality in which he won, but this has been repeatedly thwarted.

The Anti-Monitor knows this is normal, Crisis 1 is almost the cornerstone of the multiverse's existence, like the foundation of a house.

His desire to demolish the foundation would inevitably lead to opposition from the entire house and all the residents in it.

The road has been tortuous and difficult, but he has never really created a puppet controlled by him in the current timeline like this time.

This is a breakthrough from 0 to 1.

There is no way he would give up this achievement.

Maybe it was because of his previous behavior of avoiding snakes and scorpions that Batman had a little illusion, making him think that pushing himself into the positive multiverse was his biggest fear...

but……

The Anti-Monitor waited a moment.

He didn't wait for the blue-haired figure to appear.

Dr. Manhattan, the thief who stole 10 years of the entire multiverse, was the one who caused the Flashpoint incident, but the Anti-Monitor knew that he was just an experimenter and he would not interfere with the development of the timeline.

Some people may have made a mistake and thought that Dr. Manhattan was a superhero, but they were wrong. He was just a man doing experiments, a god who was high above and regarded everything in the world as straw dogs.

Dr. Manhattan will not protect anyone, nor will he save anyone, for the multiverse...

He is even evil.

Imagine someone was fiddling with you and using you for experiments. Would you feel that the person who was using you as a guinea pig was some kind of superhero or savior?

But even so, the Anti-Monitor still worries that Dr. Manhattan might want to experiment on himself.

If Dr. Manhattan crossed the time stream and came to the era of the First Crisis, the Anti-Monitor would certainly be able to fight him, but in the current timeline, with just this puppet, he is no match for Dr. Manhattan.

Fortunately, the worst did not happen for the Anti-Monitor.

Then there is nothing to worry about for him.

He stared at the Batman in front of him.

This guy thought that heroes from the positive universe would come to help him.

It's so whimsical.

The fact is: even in the positive universe, the heroes cannot save every parallel universe from being destroyed.

(Note: For example, Earth-15 was destroyed by Superboy-Prime, Earth-7 was destroyed in "The Last Airbender", and Earth-51 before Flashpoint, and so on. By the way, the Batman of Earth-51 killed the Joker for the death of Jason Todd, the second generation Robin.)
For the entire multiverse covered by the super-time stream, superheroes are immune cells.

The immune cells should be used in the most important part.

For example, the main universe. For example, major events that may cause a crisis in the multiverse: the invasion of the Hand of the Void (Heaven and Earth Grand Finale), the attempt of Superboy-Prime and Alexander Luthor Jr. to restart the universe (Infinite Crisis), and his Anti-Monitor's attempt to devour the positive matter universe.

Only these major events that may cause a destructive crisis to the multiverse will force the super-time flow to mobilize its own immune system [superhero] to save itself, but the destruction of a single parallel universe?

Just the life and death of a dark multiverse Batman?
And what about the dark multiverse that was supposed to be destroyed?
No one will come, and this is far from triggering the self-defense counterattack of the super-time flow.

Many people naively believe that as long as certain conditions are met, justice will come and someone will come to save them, but no.

No one will come to save him.

He almost felt sympathy for the Batman before him...almost.

Next, he will capture the severely injured Batman alive, take him back to the dark multiverse, hand him over to Barbatos, and then swallow the two universes to fill his stomach, and then continue to plan to let the upstream body completely descend into the current timeline.

Nothing Batman does will change anything, neither the fate of the destruction of his universe nor the result of his becoming the Dragon of Barbatos.

How sad.

The Anti-Monitor saw Batman's face.

He was not in a hurry to beat the other person.

"Yes, you succeeded."

He said:
"You tried your best and pushed me into a normal multiverse and out of the dark multiverse. But what can you do? You still can't beat me. What other cards do you have?"

The Anti-Monitor examined what Batman had pulled out.

A sealed chamber shrunk by Brainiac's shrinking ray, a shadow cabinet created by the Guardians of the Universe.

The Anti-Monitor knows what Batman is preparing.

"A Lantern No. 1 from the dark multiverse?" he said:

"Do you think you can deal with me with his help?"

"He can't," the Anti-Monitor heard Batman say.

He somewhat hated the other person's face that would never show fear.

"But I can blow myself up and delay you for a short time."

He heard Batman say: "It is no longer a temporary burst of energy as before, but a self-destruction towards death."

"So what?" The Anti-Monitor said, "Your self-destruction is nothing to me. Are you threatening me with suicide? It's useless. Even if you die from the self-destruction, I can still revive you and bring you back to Barbatos."

"You have no idea what kind of god I am. You are as ridiculous as clay toys in front of me."

For some reason, the Anti-Monitor suddenly felt a little uneasy. He decided not to waste any more time talking, so he pounced on Batman and grabbed his neck with one hand, like pinching a kitten.

He immediately snatched the shrunken Shadow Cabinet from Batman, but did not find the figure of the First Lantern in it.

"what happened?"

The Anti-Monitor then hears Batman's intermittent voice, which sounds like he is about to die:
"But...but...by using the time difference that my self-destruction delays you, Lantern No. 1 can use the Brainiac technology that I gave him before to take away the entire Earth."

The Anti-Monitor: "So what?"

The next moment, a bolt of lightning struck the Anti-Monitor's brain. He turned his head sharply and saw the blue Earth behind him: "This is Earth 15! The destroyed Earth 15! You actually found this place!"

Earth-15, the home of Lantern No. . This Earth is related to the stability of DC history and is a key node in the stability of the DC universe.

Initially, Lantern #15 traveled through the infinite timeline after the destruction of Earth-, directly leading to the establishment of the Green Lantern Corps. His actions shaped the history of the DC Universe, and this history was projected into the dark multiverse, creating a dark multiverse version of Lantern #.

And if Earth-15 is not destroyed according to the original history, this will cause the entire Green Lantern Corps to disappear in the DC Universe's hyper-time stream.

If the DC Universe's super time stream is a house, and each restart of the timeline is like building a new floor on the house, then the existence of the Green Lantern Corps is the main load-bearing wall of the house!
What will happen once the Green Lantern Corps disappears?

"Yes... the location of Earth 15. This is the information I read from Mobius' mind. Mobius is a part of you, he knows everything you know. And through the shuttle lamp of Lantern No. ... I really did it, this is what I have been planning."

(Note: For details on why the universe of Lantern No. 401 cannot survive, please refer to Chapter of this book. The foreshadowing was already laid at that time.)
The Anti-Monitor hears Batman say:

"I have bound myself to the safety of the entire DC multiverse."

"You deserve to die."

The Anti-Monitor tried to destroy the blue planet in front of him, but was held tightly by Batman:
He vomited blood and laughed loudly:

"I knew it... I knew no one would come to help us! I knew it, I'm used to it - Anti-Monitor!"

He laughed wildly with delight, and the sound shook the whole area:
"But, I mean if. If the heroes who protect the multiverse immune system, that is, the heroes in the normal light multiverse, don't come to save my dark multiverse...

Then I will choose to drag the entire DC's super time stream to be buried with me!
In order to prevent this from happening, the super-time stream immune system will come to save my universe and help me defeat you!"

"You know, hahahahahahaha - it's really bad luck that the multiverse knows me!"

"Let go!"

The Anti-Monitor was about to punch Batman, and then he saw Batman, whose body was covered with cracks, glowing white.

"Are you crazy? Do you really want to blow yourself up?"

The Anti-Monitor's expression changed for the first time.

It's not because Batman is going to blow himself up, but because Batman is telling the truth.

During the short period of time they fought, neither Batman's feat of using two universes to force him into the bright multiverse, nor the suicidal sacrifices of Batman's comrades, could move the God of Destruction in the slightest.

He always seems so at ease, like a god high above.

But today, at this moment, his expression changed for the first time. An expression called fear actually appeared on the face of this god. Such an absurd thing often makes people think that it is just an illusion.

He knew everything Batman said was true.

Damn Mobius! Damn that mortal scum!
"I will self-destruct, but I won't really self-destruct." Then he heard Batman say: "If I self-destruct now, it will achieve the situation I said, and ultimately lead to the survival of Earth 15 and the disappearance of the Green Lantern Corps...!"

"…and Earth 15 will definitely not be able to escape the fate of destruction. If that happens, the entire Green Lantern system will collapse. Therefore, in order to maintain the balance of its own super-time stream, the multiverse will definitely send out their most powerful immune system! So someone will definitely come to stop me from allowing Earth 15 to survive, and you…"

"No!"

The Anti-Monitor roared, wielding the glow of the Anti-Life Equation with more urgency and fear than ever before, but he could no longer stop what was about to happen.

He has been preparing for so long!
After spending so much effort and giving so much to Barbatos, this might very well be his only chance!
But it was too late. Really too late.

Endless portals shine like stars behind Batman, and the army of the multiverse is marching high.

Chen Tao raised his head and raised his hands, and then the multiverse army poured out of the portal like a tide.

The embodiment of justice, the multiverse's legion of supermen... The immune system was surging, roaring, and loudly scolding the tiny virus that dared to invade his heart when he wasn't paying attention.

The Anti-Monitor heard Batman gasping for air...

"Listen, you treat us like clay puppets, but in front of higher-dimensional beings, you are just a little bug that can be easily killed."

"Or, let me be more specific..."

Chen Tao raised his fist vigorously. Even though his fist was already weak, he still insisted on hitting the Anti-Monitor in the face:

"You are just an old antique who has failed a long time ago. Do you really think you are the Anti-Monitor Mobius who devoured the infinite positive matter universe?"

Then he let go of the Anti-Monitor's body. He no longer had the strength to hold on to him, and he felt himself falling.

He saw the lights of the portals.

More superheroes are still arriving here through the portal.

You never give up. You climb over mountains and cross seas, and then a ray of light in this world... will eventually shine on you.

You know, the world will only become a better place if you force him...

……

……

……

"Where the hell have I been taken? Is this place or the multiverse?"

Superboy-Prime travels between the vast parallel universes.

He didn't know where the road ahead was.

"I've had enough!"

Superboy-Prime's rage is growing! Growing! Growing!
Wherever he went, everything around him was either white or pitch black, and he was furious to the extreme.

If there was a blue planet in front of him at this moment, what he would do is to swing his fist at the first possible moment and blow up this damn planet!
"what?"

He suddenly found that the purple light ring on his hand began to light up again.

“Anti-Monitor! Batman! I’m going to beat you all to fucking pieces!!!”

(In the next chapter, we will meet the superheroes from the bright multiverse! Although there is no Justice League from the main universe, there is the orthodox Batman.)
