What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 573 The Black Death Emperor reaches out his giant hand to reality
"Faust is the most powerful wizard in the existing magical world, even me."

Zatanna said.

At this time, Zatanna had arranged a mature magic circle in the middle of the empty circus venue. White light was shining in Zatanna's eyes, and Chen Tao was standing by waiting.

The circus has a large venue, but it seems that there hasn't been a performance for a long time. Even the seats in the audience are covered with a layer of dust.

Zatanna constructed this irony magic that could find and invade Faust's lair, and said:
"Generally speaking, the lair of the mages is well-managed and impregnable, and is where the mages have the strongest power."

Chen Tao was a little absent-minded.

All he could think about now was his dear clown.

He never thought that the Joker was such a special opponent. He refused to believe from the bottom of his heart that there was any special connection between Batman and the Joker. In his opinion, the title of enemy should be given to Bane rather than the Joker.

This is a method of using reason to control emotion. Chen Tao deliberately keeps this cognition all the time, so that many of the clown's tricks cannot affect his mind, but instead can lead the clown to make mistakes.

The Joker can sense if Batman is sincere.

Only when Batman says from the bottom of his heart "My nemesis is Bane" will the Joker be most furious.

The Joker's thinking can guide Chen Tao and the Joker to resonate with each other. His own thinking of not regarding the Joker as an opponent can make the opponent lose his mind first. This two-pronged approach is the ultimate answer to dealing with the Joker.

"Don't underestimate Faust. Mages are best at finding weaknesses, and..."

"I know, so when will your portal be able to open?"

Chen Tao asked.

He was a little anxious. He had been monitoring the battle between the Justice League and the Joker, and he was not sure what the final outcome would be.

Then he saw that the magic circle that was originally shining suddenly dimmed.

"what happened?"

"That's enough. Listen to me, Bruce."

Then Chen Tao heard Zatanna say.

"Wait, have you terminated the magic circle?" Chen Tao said, "This will prevent us from going there temporarily..."

"It'll calm your big cocky head a little bit."

Zatanna says:
"Listen, I haven't seen you for decades since we parted as children, so we don't know each other very well. At most, we are familiar strangers. Diana and Arthur both told me a story about your change of character that they passed on from someone else. We can put it aside, but as far as your current situation is concerned, you underestimate Faust, and arrogance is the emotion farthest from the truth."

"If Diana and Arthur told you, I am now about 1/4 of the Dark Multiverse Dragon." Chen Tao said: "I have more than a dozen voice changes that can be used in different situations, especially I can use..."

"A sophisticated instrument that you don't understand yet, an engine without fuel, and some information that has been completely exposed as you fight." Zatanna said, "You don't think that your feat of pushing the entire universe and restarting the timeline can still be hidden from a dangerous wizard like Faust."

Zatanna said: "Even after I found out that my memory was lost due to the restart of the timeline, I quickly recovered it, not to mention Faust. Your abilities are already exposed information to the mages. Do you think you can really handle it with ease when facing their malice? Who do you think stopped Eclipse from trying to attack secretly when he was resurrected? And when the universe was on the verge of destruction, it was me who stopped Faust from taking advantage of the fire to rob."

"You are not the only one who saved the world. I am almost suppressing all the magic in the world by myself... Constantine, Lady Xanadu, Magic Superman Etrigan, Vampire Andrew, Doctor Fate, Changer...

(Note: Laxlade the Shifter is very strong, but it is worth noting that he also died not only in this dark multiverse, but also in the New 52 era of the main universe.)
And the dead people you mentioned... the main universe, right? The dark multiverse, right? God, I have no idea who they are, but I sincerely hope that they exist in this world. I am almost driven crazy by the battles day after day."

"The Cold Flame Church, the crazy Richie (note: this refers to Richie Simpson, Constantine's friend in the main universe, who appeared in the animated film) the alchemist (note: Albert Desmond, formerly known as Mr. Elements), and Faust, the devil of hell..."

Zatanna gestured toward the empty auditorium around her.

"When I was young, my father often performed magic in public... in the name of magic. When I was young, I had imagined countless times that when I grew up, I would run a magic circus. But later he never opened it again."

"I've been alone ever since Sage Ochi and Tattered Man died, you know?"

Zatanna's voice was very calm. No one knew that behind the four words "alone" were countless bones and blood.

Chen Tao was silent for a while.

"I'm sorry, I know it's been hard for you."

The dark multiverse is incomplete, with some key figures missing, just like a human being is congenitally losing part of their immune system.

Zatanna, the only "immune cell" of the magic department, will naturally take on heavier tasks than before until she dies like Sage Ochi and others.

At that time, the universe will not even be able to help its own immune cells to heal itself, so it is estimated that this will be the moment of destruction of the dark multiverse.

"I'm not telling you this to brag about my great achievements, but to tell you that the dangers of the wizarding world are far greater than you can imagine."

Zatanna said, "It's almost like courting death to rush into another wizard's lair. I have confidence in you, so I agreed to do it, you know? But if you think it's an easy thing to do, we are likely to capsize in the gutter - correct your attitude, is it difficult to understand?"

Chen Tao nodded obediently and almost sat down and cried.

Zatanna was right, he indeed underestimated Faust. This was arrogance and a very dangerous sign. He reflected on himself.

"And I remember Arthur once told me that one of your many transformations was called the Bat Wizard, and you once used the magical abilities of this transformation to help him deal with his fish head."

Zatanna said, "So if you look closely at the magic circle, you'll see that the magic has been completed."

"besides."

Zatanna said: "Send away the Ion Shark and Parallax Monster that you hid in your portable extra-dimensional space. Even I can detect the existence of these two powerful Lanterns with detection magic. Once you bring them to Faust, Faust will 100% be able to make them go berserk. Then we will have to face two crazy Lanterns and Faust himself at the same time. I have to say that although you have mastered the magical transformation, you have a complete understanding of magic and lack the most basic knowledge accumulation of a wizard."

Chen Tao followed the advice of the professionals. Zatanna was right, but the only bad thing was that after losing the two of them, Chen Tao would also lose two trackers who could help him share the power anytime and anywhere, and his ability to use SS-level Batman would also be reduced.

But he didn't have a solution...

The turtle and Grodd can only suffer a little longer. Chen Tao sent the two lamp beasts away. When he came back, he saw Zatanna walked to the center of the magic circle, and then turned to look at Batman: "It's time to set off."

Faust's lair.

Faust's lair is built in a magical dimension attached to the material universe, which not only makes it easier for him to intersect with demons and creatures in other dimensions, but also allows him to get closer to truly dangerous characters.

Although Faust's fortress is not like Constantine's mysterious house in the main universe, which is almost a spaceship that travels freely in infinite dimensions, it is still strong enough and impregnable.

At least Chen Tao's charged Dark Father Omega Ray only shattered about 1/12 of the building.

boom!
With a deafening noise, Faust, who was sitting in his palace reading the magic book, looked up and found that his palace was blown to pieces in an instant.

"Who dares?!"

As soon as Faust finished speaking, he was pierced through the heart by a claw from Chen Tao, who was sneaking in through the smoke.

Chen Tao had already thought about a sneak attack that was planned unintentionally. Since they were playing away from home, sneak attack was the first-mover skill.

"Wow!"

Faust spat out a large mouthful of blood, and then he swept his backhand towards Chen Tao. A purple halo lit up on his hand, which was an instantaneous close-range attack magic. This magic exploded directly on Chen Tao's body, which was covered with bone spurs, and then...

Nothing happened.

The moment before the magic hit him, Chen Tao changed the object of his synchronization from the Destroyer to the Dark Father. The Dark Father, who mastered the Omega Effect, had a superhuman body and did not have the Destroyer's debuff of weakness to magic.

He had already planned the course of the battle. Zatanna was right. Since he had decided to take action, he should go all out.

The next second, green plants grew out of Faust's seven orifices. Chen Tao dealt a heavy blow to Faust and crushed his heart with one hand, but his purpose was not to kill Faust, but to beat Faust to his knees and force him to help with the work.

Therefore, Chen Tao naturally prepared a temporary means to help Faust prolong his life.

First, break the heart and seriously injure Faust, then use the power of the Green of All Things to parasitize Faust, thus maintaining his life, and then use this as a threat:
"Mr. Magician, you don't want to have a heart attack and die immediately without the Green of All Things, do you?"

After using the skill you don't want, no matter how powerful Faust is, he can only obey obediently in order to save his own life...

The plan was very rough. It's not that Chen Tao had no way to make the plan more detailed, but firstly, the Joker was in urgent need of counterattack, secondly, he knew very little about Faust, and thirdly, despite what Zatanna said, Chen Tao didn't think from the bottom of his heart that Faust, a mere evil magician, would be as dangerous as the Joker.

The Joker's ability to modify reality reminded him of the Emperor Joker, but he was still not sure that compared to Faust, the Joker was the most serious danger.

Unless Faust is not afraid of death, Chen Tao will be defeated by this trick...

Chen Tao's heart sank.

He saw Faust's eyes glowing purple, and he turned his head sharply:

"you dare!?"

Wisps of black air emerged from his face, followed by black lines like spider silk, which crawled from his neck to his cheeks.

A familiar power emanated from Faust. Chen Tao recognized this power. He and Bane once had an apprentice together, and he possessed this power.

The Black Death, William Hand.

What Faust has at his disposal now is:
The power of black lights.

"The Black Death Emperor has reached deeper into reality again?!"

Chen Tao took a deep breath and said, "Why are you staring at my dark multiverse?"

Faust suddenly broke free from Chen Tao's embrace, and the green plant on his chest withered in an instant, and then turned into complete corruption, as if thousands of years had passed in an instant.

He turned to look at Zatanna who was not far away: "I haven't even come to settle accounts with you, how dare you lead others to my lair?"

A large number of magic circles mixed with black purple light condensed beside him, Faust's magic book floated beside him, and then overwhelming purple light gushed towards Chen Tao.

Zatanna wanted to chant a spell, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she suddenly retched violently and couldn't utter a word.

"Do you like this design? No woman can cast a spell on me. No, it should be everyone. Hahahahaha!"

For most wizards, their magic comes entirely from spells. Once they are shut up and unable to cast spells, they naturally lose their extraordinary powers. Zatanna from the main universe was even almost thrown into a water tank and drowned by the Joker.

Faust set up a spell in his magic fortress to prevent the chanting of spells, and Zatanna ran into him.

Her attempt at a spell attracts the attention of Faust, who shoots aggressive rays at her.

Zatanna rolled and leaped out of the way.

She could only barely shoot a beam of blue light at Faust, but it was easily dispersed by the other party.

"Storing magic? That's not enough. See some real magic!"

A dark cloud appeared on Faust's face.

Chen Tao grabbed the man from behind again, and his hands and feet turned into twisted metal chains.

Faust tried to break free from Batman's embrace, but in a corner that he didn't notice...

Chen Tao quietly took out a black light ring.

He didn't know what he would encounter... but what he knew was that no matter when the Black Death Emperor reached out his hand into reality, he would cut off that hand, and the next time he saw the Black Death Emperor would be when he brought William Hand back!
