What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 550: The Anti-Monitor was besieged, so he decided to become a dog immediately (5000 words long chapter)
In the universe, there was silence at first, and then Chen Tao's scream was heard.

"Unlimited Justice League, charge!!!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch..."

The Anti-Monitor felt his scalp tingling as he looked at the overwhelming and dense crowd of heroes rushing towards him.

"I'm Batman from the Future, my name is Terry."

Chen Tao turned his head and saw a Batman wearing high-tech equipment appearing beside him, then he touched his chin and looked at him.

The other party was not wearing traditional Batman equipment, but was dressed in black.

"I mean, I always thought there was something weird about you."

Then he said, “I’ll be watching you.”

Then he turned around and rushed towards the Anti-Monitor.

Large numbers of heroes rushed over one after another.

Chen Tao saw a superman with a skull-shaped chest instead of an S. He was wearing a skull-shaped mask on his head. His hands and eyes were emitting hot rays of light. "I will tear you all to pieces! You will all turn into skulls!"

(Note: This Superman is from the Justice League of Assassins of Earth-14, and specifically appears in Volume 4 of Superman v15.)
The Justice League behind him howled and rushed forward with all kinds of guns. Wait, guns? It was the first time Chen Tao saw a Justice League team with all members using guns.

The Anti-Monitor tried to break free from the encirclement of a large number of Supermen, and he knocked away a demon Etrigan version of Superman with one punch. In the main universe, the demon Etrigan is a member of the Dark Justice League. His ability is to transform from an ordinary person into a demon burning with fire. Because of his powerful strength, he is also called Magic Superman.

That's supposed to be a compliment, but on Earth-13, he's Superman himself.

Oh, by the way, the most notable feature of the demon Etrigan is...

"Your absurd lies are hard to convince others." The Anti-Monitor swung his fist and knocked the demon Etrigan Superman away, but then seven or eight more Supermen hugged his legs together.

More than 10 Wonder Women in various evil shapes raised swords or chainsaws and other messy things and hit him on the back together.

The butt-chested Wonder Woman suddenly hugged the Anti-Monitor's waist from behind, and the big steel-like balloon made the Anti-Monitor unable to move.

Then the next second, the demon Etrigan Superman came back and punched the Anti-Monitor hard in the face:
"This place belongs to me, and I won't move a step."

The devil superman who likes to recite poetry keeps reciting.

Chen Tao even saw a Batman mixed in with a group of Supermen.

I am Super, the Batman version of Superman, a speeding bullet!
An endless stream of superheroes continued to rush forward, and a bunch of Bizarros with crooked mouths and squinting eyes appeared around Chen Tao. They were the non-American Injustice League from Earth 29. All the members of this team were Bizarro versions of the Justice League.

"Anti-Monitor, good stuff?"

Chen Tao knew that the Bizarros always spoke in opposite ways, so what he called "good" was actually bad.

Bizarro Wonder Woman seemed to be very interested in Chen Tao: "Ugly, ugly Batman. Disgusting."

Chen Tao knew that this was Bizarro Wonder Woman expressing his love for her.

So he grabbed Wonder Woman's hands: "Yes, Diana, for me--"

He pointed at the Anti-Monitor and said, "Use the Flame Fist on him!"

Bizarro Wonder Woman's "beautiful" face, which looked like melted wax, showed a shy expression, and then she went away howling.

Beside Chen Tao, Batman from the Knightfall period slowly floated over.

This most orthodox old bat briefly left his batship in a space suit.

Chen Tao turned his head and met the other person's gaze.

"..."

"..."

Chen Tao turned his head away. Fortunately, he didn't laugh out loud when he was talking to Bizarro Wonder Woman.

Then, next to the orthodox old bat, a vampire version of Batman from the "Batman: Red Rain" universe flew over with a howl.

So the orthodox old bat decided to give up pursuing this issue.

"Hey, that's surprising." The bearded Zod was spun around and was hit by the Anti-Monitor and flew back to the two of them, then said: "The Batman in our universe is also a vampire, isn't he, Dr. Langstone?"

(Note: The Batman in Zod's world is not Bruce, but the super villain of the main world, the human-faced bat, Kurt Langstone.)
"I think we should focus on fighting."

The bearded vampire Batman, Zod Chao, was also beaten back by the Anti-Monitor. He straightened his broken neck and said.

Soon, the old Bat saw more parallel universe Batmen, as a combination of Martian Manhunter and Superman, Super Martian (from Earth-32, see "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Multiverse"), flew past them:

There's a version of Batman that uses a Green Lantern ring, a version of Batman combined with the Atom, and even a child version of Batman that looks like a baby.

Oh my god this is so messy.

The orthodox old bat is completely silent

The Anti-Monitor was able to fight back at first, but as more and more people came rushing in, he was completely overwhelmed.

So he could only shout out loud in his heart:
"Barbatos."

"Don't call on me, Anti-Monitor."

Then he heard Barbatos' voice.

……

……

……

When Lantern crossed thousands of miles and appeared at his home on Earth 15, he saw his mother in a white coat looking at him in surprise.

After so many years, Lantern No. 1 had long since become a collection of emotional spectrum energy. He tried hard to shed tears, but not even a single tear came out.

He didn't care whether he was a projector or something else, he only knew that as long as he saved the person in front of him, this person who looked exactly like his mother, his history would be rewritten and he would be able to usher in a life that was completely different from the one he had experienced before.

He rushed over and hugged her as she screamed: "We will never be separated, Mom."

And with this action, the entire multiverse is fluctuating.

Somewhere beyond time.

This is the Sinestro War. Sinestro is leading the Yellow Lantern Corps to invade the Earth, but at a certain moment, everyone's lantern rings have failed.

All the Lanterns who were still fighting fell from the sky like dumplings, but in an instant the rings returned to normal and no one knew what was going on.

Another place.

The Green Lantern Corps is trying to stop Kalona from destroying the multiverse. (Note: This is the plot of Green Lantern V3)
A cosmic guardian named Dawley accidentally replicated the experiment that Kalonna had conducted to observe the universe and cause it to explode, resulting in Kalonna receiving an epic enhancement.

The Green Lantern Corps were about to stop him, but the next moment all their rings failed in an instant.

The sky once again rained Green Lantern dumplings, but the failure was quickly restored and did not affect the final outcome.

Other places.

This is the period of DC's 1996 big event "End of Night".

Parallax Demon Hal is about to sacrifice himself, engulf the Sun Eater with his own body, rekindle the sun with his life, and use his power to prevent the sudden melting of ice and snow on Earth caused by the revival of the sun, thus completing his own redemption.

But as he flew towards the sun, his ring suddenly malfunctioned, causing Hal to almost hit an asteroid.

But Hal eventually regains control of his ring, and the ending of "End of Night" is not changed, temporarily.

Somewhere in the super time stream, the Time Master held his head and almost knelt down: "Ancestors! Stop hitting me! You can't hit me!"

…………

……

"Barbatos!"

Barbatos hears the Anti-Monitor's call
He didn't want to pay attention to the Anti-Monitor. In fact, he was too lazy to observe how things would develop next.

His plan had failed, but fortunately not much had been lost.

His plans have been frustrated again and again, with increasing investments and expected returns falling again and again.

First of all, that Batman did not kill the Anti-Monitor's puppet, so he would not become the Anti-Monitor Batman. Although the Batman's unique ability to transform into other parallel universe Batmen at will is retained, his power will definitely decrease after being transformed into the "Dragon of Barbatos".

There's nothing much to say about this. When he discovered that the Anti-Monitor puppet, which he regarded as fusion material, was actually the real Anti-Monitor trying to sow his own petri dish in the current timeline, Barbatos had to give the other party a share of the pie.

Therefore, the mortal Mobius belongs to the Anti-Monitor, and Batman belongs to himself. This distribution is reasonable, and Barbatos accepts it.

But this distribution was not actually achieved. Although the Anti-Monitor gave him his own astral brain and the location of the Monitor as a reward for his actions and help, in fact, Barbatos' overall plan failed.

Batman has already escaped to the bright multiverse. No matter how you look at it, the Anti-Monitor's promise to help him bring Batman back has failed. Just like a stock that has been confirmed to be rotten, what Barbatos should now consider is to stop in time.

Without Batman as the Dragon of Barbatos, he can still find Hawkman in the main world. His plan to use the Batman of the main universe as a portal is also progressing steadily. It won’t be long before he can descend into the bright multiverse in person and create the era of Barbatos.

The events at hand might be the Anti-Monitor's only chance to interfere with the current timeline from upstream in the hyperchronic stream, but for Barbatos?

It wasn't something that couldn't be given up from the beginning.

"I need your help."

"I can't do that. You have nothing else to give."

Barbatos said: "Your body, brain and your position as a brother monitor are very useful and can give me an extra trump card, but other than that, you have nothing that can impress me. You know this very well."

This is indeed the case. The Anti-Monitor has already used up everything he could sell in previous transactions. No matter how powerful he is, that was during the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" period. With the super-time stream blocking him, Barbatos doesn't need to take him too seriously.

The World Forger, who was one of the three brothers, was killed by Barbatos. The vicious dog of the former World Forger had already devoured the flesh and blood of his master.

"Don't you want to know why you can kill the World Forger so easily? Our brother has been quietly performing his duties in the World Forge for a long time... Barbatos, do you really think you can kill him like that...

And then take away all his power?"

Barbatos turned his head sharply.

"What do you mean."

"I need your help," the Anti-Monitor said. "This body is too weak to withstand the additional power I project from the upper reaches of the temporal stream. I need you to strengthen this body, like raising the rim of a bucket."

Barbatos said nothing.

They faced each other for a while.

"I reject."

The Dark Multiverse Dragon said: "Perhaps you hold a secret, or perhaps you are just making false threats. But I have long been prepared to fight the resurrected Alpheus (Note: This is the real name of the World Forger) again."

He said: "At least the power I am absorbing and mastering right now is real, and that is enough. You need a lot of power, it is a bottomless pit. No matter what you plan to do, this secret alone is not enough to exchange for my help."

The dragon lowered his head again: "You can go now."

Barbatos is waiting for the Anti-Monitor to surrender, and the Anti-Monitor is waiting for Barbatos to compromise.

They stand off for a while, and finally the Anti-Monitor says, "Okay, it's the sixth dimension."

He said: "I can give you this secret for free..."

"I hope you won't regret hearing this secret."

Barbatos listened quietly.

"Our mother is about to escape from the Origin Wall. She is the god who created the entire multiverse. She gave birth to the three of us to manage the multiverse for her."

"At the beginning of the world, Mother tried to shape the multiverse into a weapon to fight against the Judge of Origin and escape the fate of disappearance. We discovered her intentions and betrayed her."

(Note: Simply put, Pangu, who was sent to create the world, did not want to die after he finished creating the world. He wanted to use the world he created as a weapon to fight against his boss. As a result, he gave birth to three filial sons.)
"We summoned the Eagle Judge, and our mother was sealed away and became the Origin Wall. This was also the fuse of the war between me and my brother the Monitor... But after so many years, our mother..."

"We're about to get out of this."

"Do you want to know our mother's name?"

The Anti-Monitor said.

"Mother of the Multiverse, [Papetua]."

When the Anti-Monitor pronounced this name, it was as if countless wails and roars were screaming in Barbatos' ears, making Barbatos feel a little colder.

Names have power.

(Note: Because Papetua, the mother of the multiverse, who was sealed inside the Origin Wall, has been whispering to many powerful people in the universe through the cracks in the Origin Wall, inducing the darkness in their hearts, setting off a multiverse crisis, and creating crisis power for her to absorb. Therefore, Barbatos reacted when he heard this name here.)
"Our brother, the World Forger, was a coward," the Anti-Monitor said.

"He doesn't have the courage to save the multiverse, or even to stand up to his mother. He knows full well that our universe was weaponized at birth.

Mother created our multiverse into a mode where crises would occur constantly to provide crisis power, which would provide her with power, but would also allow our universe to be used as a weapon, and to accompany Mother to be destroyed by the Great Almighty Universe. "

"Thus our brother escaped from his duties. He allowed himself to be mauled to death by his own pets, thus temporarily escaping his responsibility as the Lord of the World Forge."

"He was finally freed from the responsibility of forging the world and could concentrate on what he really wanted to do: create a brand new hyper-time stream to replace the current one."

(Note: Yes, this is what the World Forger does in The Sixth Dimension)
"But I won't choose to do that, you understand? Barbatos, I won't sit still and wait for death."

"As long as I can reverse my failure in the first crisis, I can come to reality and confront our mother head-on while she is still weak."

The Anti-Monitor concealed a crucial fact from Barbatos: if the Anti-Monitor really came into reality, he would be able to forcibly merge his two brothers and become the ultimate Monitor. At that time, Barbatos would have no choice but to kneel down and serve him as a dog.

But he wouldn't tell Barbatos that now.

"That's why I must hurry up and subdue my puppet in reality at all costs. We don't have time to plan slowly."

"Therefore," the Anti-Monitor said, "I would like to make one final suggestion to you."

"I am willing to let this puppet of mine become your Barbatos Dragon. Can this condition be exchanged for your full support?"

Barbatos was horrified.

Barbatos used to be the pet of World Forger, and World Forger was the brother of Anti-Monitor. But Anti-Monitor is now willing to be his pet——

Even though it was just a puppet clone, it was completely equivalent to a human running away to become a dog's pet. Barbatos had never dreamed that the Anti-Monitor would be so arrogant as to think that he would make such a choice!

"This puppet becoming the Dragon of Barbatos will make you complete, allowing you to better absorb the power of my brother and become stronger. And after becoming the Dragon of Barbatos, this puppet will be controlled by both of us at the same time, which is equivalent to us signing an unbreakable covenant."

"I believe I have made a huge concession to this alliance," the Anti-Monitor said. "After the multiverse is overthrown, we will have a chance to unite and fight against my evil mother. This is the only way to save the multiverse."

He asked, "So is it a deal?"

"it is good."

Barbatos said.

Who would have thought that the transition between human and dog would be so smooth. Yesterday it was lying down as a dog, and today it is standing and holding a human lead. How could such a good opportunity be missed?

(Note: This paragraph was added after the update, so it is free. I found that many readers don’t seem to understand the status of the Green Lantern Corps in the DC Universe. In fact, let alone such an important component of the Green Lantern Corps, among the seven giants of the Justice League, except for the Martian Manhunter, who was officially erased, the disappearance of any character would be a major blow to the DC Universe.

The history of the DC universe is too long, and most of the seven giants of the Justice League are old characters who were born with the DC comics.

The longer a character exists, the more major events he will be involved in. Once he disappears, it will cause a chain reaction in those major events. Dr. Manhattan just eliminated the first Green Lantern Alan Scott and the Justice Society, which almost subverted the main timeline of the entire DC universe, not to mention the disappearance of the entire Green Lantern Corps.)
