What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 555: This bright world is wonderful, but it’s not my home (5000 words long chapter)
I am Batman Chen Tao.

I once decided not to interfere with the first Lantern's rescue of his mother because I believed in the self-regulating ability of the super time flow.

From the beginning, I didn't think Lantern No. 1 could do those things.

Due to my moral obsession, I tried my best not to be the one who wielded the butcher knife and caused the bad consequences. But anyway, the development of things has exceeded my expectations.

In order to save my world, I created a multiverse-level crisis, all of which was directed by me.

To the multiverse, I am the evil of existence. Once the current timeline solidifies, I will instantly become a butcher who slaughters billions of lives. Even Barbatos will have to admit defeat when he sees me on the killing track. After all, he just casually swallowed up two single dark multiverses, but I tampered with the timeline and it is very likely to cause the collapse of the multiverse timeline.

Parallax Mohar.

A terrifying monster who, in his prime, is capable of confronting the Anti-Monitor in his undefeated phase.

His most powerful moment came in Zero Hour, so under normal circumstances, he should be like the Anti-Monitor during Crisis on Infinite Earths, frozen in the middle of a dried-up road like an insect trapped in amber.

And because he is simply powerful and not a god of the sixth dimension like the Anti-Monitor, Parallax Demon Hal Jordan should never have the opportunity to peek into the truth of the Hypertime Stream. He will not and will never be able to exert influence on the downstream of the Hypertime Stream like the Anti-Monitor.

He was welded to his own timeline until I unleashed the history of the emotional spectrum being taught to the Guardians of the Universe, freeing him from his solidified path.

I originally thought that the super time flow could quickly quell the chaos I caused. I originally thought that I was just a small virus that sneaked into the heart and caused a little trouble to the entire human body... but as long as the human body mobilizes its own immune system, it can easily solve this little trouble of mine.

You asked me, now that I have escaped to the bright multiverse alone, and my own universe cannot come over, how am I going to save it?
My original plan was simple.

If the super-time stream cannot evolve a way to save my universe, I will help Lantern No. 1. Under such pressure, in order to prevent the destruction of the universe, a team or the Justice League of the main universe will definitely jump out from some corner to help me solve the problem.

Although I don't have the ability to solve the problem, I can threaten the entire multiverse and force it to evolve a solution for me.

But I was wrong.

I had mistaken the super-temporal stream for a conscious personification, when the opposite was true.

I mistook it for a god or a wish-granting machine, and I thought I was just bringing a cold.

But I brought a fatal crisis.

This journey into the heart is likely to cause the "person" in the DC universe to die of a myocardial infarction.

The Anti-Monitor and Superboy-Prime are fighting with Hal the Parallax Demon. Chen Tao knows that if he does not take action now, the deterrent effect will be far greater than if he does.

But what broke all this...

Then there is the person who appears in front of him.

“We are justice incarnate.”

Chen Tao knew that the team "Justice Incarnate" looked more like the multiverse version of the Justice League compared to Booster Gold and Time Master.

Their main members are President Superman from Earth-23, who is a combination of the black American President Obama and Clark Kent; Thunder from Earth-7, who is the only survivor after Earth-7 was destroyed by the Hand of the Void, and who looks like a DC copy of Thor from Marvel;
Red Runner from Earth-36, the Flash's alter ego; Captain Carrot from Earth-26, a cartoon bunny version of Superman; Atom Batman from Earth-11, a combination of the Atom and Batman; Mary the Wonder from Earth-5, the sister of Shazam, Billy Batson, who is the one who holds the power of living lightning;
Abin Shu, the Green Lantern from Earth-20, Cyborg from Earth-8, the DC version of Iron Man, and Aquaman from Earth-11, the gender-changed Aquaman.

This is a very, very large organization, and it is also the largest, most systematic and most systematic heroic organization in the DC multiverse at the multiverse level. It is an organization dedicated to fighting against super-powered guardians who can threaten the life, future, and existence of the multiverse. It is not on the same level as scattered heroes such as Golden Bomber and Time Master.

They are talented and powerful, and have defeated powerful multiverse threats including but not limited to the Evil Nobles and the Hand of the Void. Chen Tao had never seen their existence among the many heroes before. This once became his proof that the threat he created was not enough to truly harm the super time stream and the multiverse:

Look! Even the Incarnate of Justice didn't come to deal with the small matter I caused. Only Booster Gold and Time Master came. This shows that this matter is not a big deal at all!

But... right now, at this moment.

The person who appeared before Chen Tao was not the powerful embodiment of justice in his memory at all.

“I’m Superman for President.”

The golden portal opened, and the first thing that came into view was President Superman, who had lost his right eye.

A large amount of golden light wrapped around President Superman's body, pulling him desperately behind the portal.

Chen Tao didn't understand what was happening. This wasn't supposed to be like this. He stretched out his dragon claws and fiercely grabbed one of President Superman's arms. This action saved President Superman from being pulled back into the portal behind him by the golden glow. Only then did Chen Tao have the opportunity to take a look at the other person's face.

He clenched his teeth, and there was no expression on his face that looked like Obama. The lost eye was not protected by an eye patch, and the empty eye socket was directly exposed in front of Chen Tao.

His cheekbones were high, highlighting his skinny body and skull-like face, as if something had grabbed him and devoured all his vitality in a short period of time.

He was not wearing his iconic red cape and blue S, but a tattered black jacket. If it weren't for the name he called himself and the shirt with an S painted on it lining his torn black jacket, Chen Tao would hardly have recognized him.

The next person to emerge from the golden portal was Captain Carrot, who looked fine.

Chen Tao stretched out his other dragon claw and grabbed its waist.

The force that dragged them towards the portal behind them was too great. Although Chen Tao, with his status as the Dragon of Barbatos, was not unable to catch the two of them after absorbing the power of so many heroes, he felt like he was playing tug-of-war with someone holding a piece of tofu.

Captain Carrot is a bunny-headed version of Superman, and his world is full of other small animals, all of whom are cartoon characters, like Tom the Cat in Tom and Jerry.

In addition to possessing superhuman strength, Captain Carrot also has cartoon characteristics. It has special physical rules. Like many cartoons, even if his head is crushed and cut into pieces, Captain Carrot can quickly recover.

It can be said that in the entire team of justice incarnates, even though President Superman is the leader of the team, Captain Carrot is definitely the one with the strongest fighting power.

He looked more lively than the gloomy President Superman, but his eyes were still filled with indescribable fatigue. Like President Superman, the golden glow was still wrapped around them, dragging them back.

Captain Carrot waved towards Chen Tao: "Hi."

Waved.

But he only made that move because Captain Carrot had no hands.

Both of his arms disappeared completely from just above the wrists, as if his wrists had been erased by a comic book eraser.

This is impossible. Captain Carrot is a cartoon character, just like Tom Cat. Who can cause real harm to Tom Cat?

The dick can split a tree, it can be restored after being crushed, and if it is deflated, it can be inflated again by just blowing on the body...

This is the real power of cartoon characters.

For an injury like a severed hand, shouldn't Captain Carrot be able to grow it back by just drinking a few sips of milk?

There was almost no one around Chen Tao.

He sent Time Master and Golden Booster to find the time to open Darkseid's death, preparing to ambush the Anti-Monitor. The other heroes with strong fighting power were almost swallowed by him and became part of his power, while those with weak fighting power avoided the frontal battlefield. The last one to come out of the golden portal was a huge bat-shaped combat robot. Chen Tao used his tail to roll up the huge robot, and then the robot's chest opened, and a Batman's head appeared from it.

Although he was surrounded by golden light like President Chao and Captain Carrot, he did not look like a combatant, so although he was exhausted, he was not injured.

He introduced himself: "I am Wang Percy, the Chinese Batman."

“The future is destroyed,” he said.

"Most of the incarnations of justice died in the battle." President Superman spoke, suppressing the hatred that was barely hidden in his words. Although he knew that this could not be blamed on Batman in front of him, he turned his head to look at Parallax Hal who was fighting Superboy-Prime and the Anti-Monitor not far away:
"Aquaman was cut in half, the machine head was crushed, and Atomic Batman was annihilated in the microscopic realm... Everyone died, and the future was collapsing. We tried everything, do you understand? We tried everything!"

"Calm down, Calvin."

Chinese Batman Wang Percy stops President Superman: "We don't have time for this."

And while all this was happening, Captain Carrot just stood there with his head hanging like a real rabbit.

"Batman, I'll call you that for now. Let's cut to the chase. After 45 minutes of fierce confrontation, Superboy-Prime finally calmed down his temper and started a conversation with Parallax Hal."

“They hit it off right away,” said Wang Percy, the Chinese Batman.

Chen Tao's heart almost stopped for half a second.

He knows what this means.

The invincible Superboy-Prime and the Parallax Demon Hal who almost dominated an era joined forces. When they rushed from the upper reaches of the super time stream into the reality of the current timeline, even Barbatos could not stop these two terrible monsters.

"Fifty minutes later, the Anti-Monitor and his puppets were nearly killed. You pretended to defect to Parallax Mohar and tried to backstab him, but failed."

"You were killed, and so was the Anti-Monitor," said Wang Percy, the Chinese Batman.

"Before you died, you tried to activate the failsafe program left in Lantern No. 15, but it was all stopped by Parallax Mohal. He slowed down the time of the entire Earth to one thousandth of a microsecond. He successfully found Lantern No. before you, and Lantern No. was not teleported away by your trick."

"51 minutes later, the Time Trapper appeared on Earth 15. After you took the initiative to cut off the connection between him and you through the Purple Lantern Ring, he found this place through the memories of Superboy-Prime. This is the final self-counterattack of the super-time stream." President Superman said.

"And Superboy-Prime hit the Time Trapper with one punch. The time paradox was completed and the Time Trapper disappeared, but Earth 15 still exists." Wang Poxi took over President Superman's words: "Let me say this."

"No, let me say it." President Superman said.

"52 minutes later, the Incarnation of Justice arrived at the scene. Because you took away Kong Kenan (Chinese Superman) and Red Son, we lost the initiative when fighting against the Prophet. The Superman of the main universe was severely damaged, but we still dealt with the Prophet and came to support the battlefield here."

(Note: President Superman here refers to the "Diversity Heroes" incident, which was serialized in Superman v4 Volume 14. The incident caused by Chen Tao took away Red Son and Kong Kenan, which led to a deviation in the ending of the incident. Red Son was supposed to play the role of warning, but he disappeared. The Superman of the main universe did not receive the warning in the first time, which triggered a chain reaction, causing them to pay a higher price than in the comics before defeating the Prophet.)
"Clark of the Prime Universe was badly injured when he fought against the Prophet... He had no way of facing Parallax Hal and Superboy-Prime at the same time... He barely fought the two monsters at first, but then Parallax Hal quickly killed him without giving him any time to build up his strength."

"One hour and 1 minutes later, without the Superman of the main universe, the Avatar of Justice and the Multiverse Superman Legion were slaughtered. Superboy-Prime and Parallax Hal entered the main universe."

Wang Poxi, the Chinese Batman, said: "Two months, 10 days and 11 hours later, the Justice League was defeated."

"Parallax Mohal and Superboy-Prime set out to reshape the timeline. But our multiverse is set up as a universe in constant crisis."

(Note: Yes, this is the work of the creator of the DC multiverse [Papetua, the Mother of the Multiverse], the mother of the three Anti-Monitor brothers, in an attempt to draw crisis power.)
"Therefore, no matter how hard Hal and Superboy-Prime try, they can never create the perfect world they envision. Because no matter how ideal their settings are, the disasters they hate the most will happen inexplicably in this world. They cannot change this because this is the underlying logic of the universe, just like the hardware of a computer."

"Whatever they do to reality is like reinstalling the computer system, but this cannot change the hardware defects of the computer."

"So they keep trying to rewrite reality again and again. They are obsessed and crazy. They have completely lost their respect for life.

If they think something is not perfect, they will start over. They have restarted reality several times, but it still cannot meet their requirements. They have no guilt at all for killing people.

Chinese Batman Wang Percy said:
"Three months later, due to multiple world restarts, the multiverse is close to collapse. The last four members of the Incarnation of Justice hiding in the Heaven Dimension, as well as myself, with the help of Golden Booster and Time Master, tried to stop the collapse by traveling through the hyper-time stream, by killing the dark multiverse version of Lantern No. 4 who changed history, and even directly destroying Earth 15."

"We succeeded."

"But nothing has changed. When the hero commits an evil act that destroys the Earth, the fall of this just man is as harmful as poisoning the well water."

"Their reality has not been changed. The Flash and Red Runner told us before they died that once history is changed, it can no longer be completely restored..."

"What they say is true."

"Reality has changed slightly, but the final result remains the same. Parallax Mohal captured us, and he killed most of us except for the majority of our team. Golden Booster and Time Master died, and the embodiment of justice, Green Lantern Abin Sur, and Wonder Mary died in battle."

"The last three living people in the multiverse have come here."

"I should..." Chen Tao felt like he was almost dizzy.

"We don't know. Follow your mind, Batman. You're the one who started this, and you're the only one who can stop it."

"We will do our best to shake the timeline at critical points. We will try to erase the reality of Parallax Mohal in the current timeline from the hyper-time stream at critical moments. This is also the only moment when he will become weak."

Chen Tao felt the pull from the three heroes growing stronger and stronger. Chinese Batman Wang Percy grabbed Chen Tao's tail and said, "We have run out of options, but only you... only you can change this..."

"Follow your own consciousness, follow your own thoughts! Your thoughts are correct..."

“Always remember…”

“You’re a hero!”

Chen Tao let go of his hand and watched the three of them disappear behind the portal.

"I know." He murmured to himself in a low voice.

He...always wants to run away.

I always want to escape from the dark multiverse and run to the bright world.

He wanted to take everyone in his world with him, he wanted to force the whole world, and he did succeed.

What a pity.

Chen Tao looked at the world in front of him.

"It's good. It's really good."

"This bright world is wonderful, but it's a pity..."

"It's not my home."
