What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 580 Batman chooses to kill the Joker directly (6000 words)
For the Black Death Emperor, there are several things he needs to deal with now.

The bad news is: the Faust he originally prepared was caught by Batman and it seems that he will not die. He has no spokesperson, and it is very likely that the Emperor Joker is secretly pushing this matter.

The good news is: Emperor Joker reached an agreement with him, and even if he loses his spokesperson, it will not affect his plan to invade the Batman universe.

These are some important small changes for the Black Death Emperor. As long as they do not affect the final result, the Black Death Emperor does not care.

Unlike Barbatos who never thought of bringing back the Anti-Monitor or Emperor Joker, the old antiques from the upper reaches of the time stream, the Black Death Emperor didn't care about these things. There was an essential difference between him and Barbatos.

Barbatos' goal is to rule. He wants to turn the main universe into a kingdom completely controlled by him, Barbatos, but the Black Death Emperor's goal is death. No matter who rules the main universe, as long as enough people die, the Black Death Emperor's kingdom will become more prosperous. This is definitely what he wants to see, and the return of those old antiques will inevitably bring death.

Therefore, the Dark Lord has been sitting on the Diaoyutai, waiting for the moment to completely enter the Batman universe. Sooner or later, but death will eventually come.

Now he is the one who holds the initiative, and those old antiques need help from the Black Death Emperor, which is also the help he never had when he launched the Blackest Night in the main universe. He can use this to expand more deaths.

Emperor Clown promised Black Death that he could handle what he was supposed to do.

The Black Death Emperor originally thought that he only needed to sit quietly and wait for the Emperor Clown to present him with a strong candidate for spokesperson. But at this time, a group of uninvited guests broke into his kingdom.

"No one is qualified to snatch the ghosts that belong to me in my kingdom." The Black Death Emperor waved his scythe at the increasing number of black-robed people in front of him, and standing in front of him was the first Lantern from the Dark Multiverse.

"Who are you?"

boom!
The huge sickle of the Black Death Emperor collided with the seven-color spectrum shield condensed by countless men in black, making a deafening noise.

In this black death realm, for the first time, so many colorful lights shine brightly, which is a feat that even Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern of the main universe, has not been able to accomplish.

The green of will, the yellow of fear, the red of anger...

Seven colored light wheels shone brightly, and a large colorful halo condensed in the territory of the Black Death Emperor, shining like the colorful aurora in the North Pole, illuminating the sky and the earth, covering the whole sky.

The huge light illuminated countless tombstones, making the corpses lying in the tombstones jump out.

Those corpses thought they were going to be resurrected, but after discovering that it was just a large-scale colorful disco in the Black Death Emperor's territory, they crawled back in disappointment.

These tombstones are all the dead from the main universe and other parallel universes. They are now temporarily attributed to the Black Death until another new universe restarts after the New 52 or the DC Universe Rebirth, which rewrites the history of their deaths and allows them to be resurrected, such as the Polka-Dot Man who died many times in the vast history of the DC Universe.

(Note: Polka Dot Man is a minor villain who died many times in different places in the history of comics, but was repeatedly resurrected due to several DC universe restarts.)
Those with graves are still relatively safe, but there are more countless ghosts wandering in this land of the dead. They look up blankly, then turn into ashes in the colorful light, and then gather again, wailing non-stop.

"How dare you do it?"

Shock overwhelmed the Black Death Emperor's anger. He did not expect that he would not be able to kill the many enemies in front of him with one blow in his own domain. This made him less anxious to take action.

This is his territory, the Land of Death. The Black Death Emperor in the Land of Death is completely not on the same level as the Black Death Emperor who descended to other universes.

Even if it is Barbatos - he may be able to easily suppress the Black Death Emperor who descended on the main world, but if he is stupid enough to come to the Black Death Emperor's territory to fight him, he may end up in trouble.

These many black-robed men were able to block his casual attack together. This was simply too strong! This was too abnormal. Who could do this?
He finally took a look at the group of people in front of him, especially the guy in front of him who claimed to be 1/4 Dragon, the first Lantern of the Dark Multiverse.

"What did you ask me for just now? What should I call you?"

The leader in front of him had already said a lot to Dark Lord before, but after Dark Lord knew that the other party was the first Lantern of the dark multiverse, he was too lazy to listen to what he said, so he actually didn't listen at all.

"You can call me Shadow Fear, the Black Death Emperor." The first Lantern who called himself Shadow Fear said, "I want you to hand over the first Lantern of the main universe to me."

Shadow Huo Rong paused, then said: "This is the basis of our transaction. It is of no use to you, but it is our treasure."

"Don't even think about it." The Black Death Emperor flatly refused: "No one has ever escaped from my hands."

Actually, there are some, such as all the creatures in the main universe, all the members of the Seven Lantern Corps, and Hal Jordan in the main universe. He committed suicide and entered the realm of the Dark Lord, then became a Black Lantern, and drove the Dark Lord as a mecha to kill the First Lantern...

Heroes who come in and out of the Black Death Emperor at will are like carp crossing the river, but the Black Death Emperor selectively forgets about them.

He lost his patience and planned to kill the guy in front of him who called himself Shadow Huo Rong first. Once the other party turned into a dead person, he would naturally tell him everything about the Black Death Emperor, the spokesperson of death.

While he raised his scythe again towards the army of men in black, he was also paying attention to the actions of the Emperor Clown.

After all, he has already made an agreement with the Emperor Clown that the first clown to die among the three clowns will become his spokesperson. Everything is planned perfectly, no matter which one dies, he can get a brand new spokesperson.

This matter is much more important than this group of inexplicable people in black robes in front of us.

……

……

……

Gotan Reservoir.

"I...what's wrong?"

The clown showed a look of astonishment on his crazy face. He immediately rejected the blue light ring: "What the hell is this? Get out of my body!"

He shook the stick in his hand. The Joker originally wanted to use the modification of reality to erase the blue light in front of him. However, unfortunately, this blue light was the first blue light ring in the entire universe and the last member of the emotional spectrum to return. It was born to be the true reflection of the power of the emotional spectrum in the universe. To modify such a fact is equivalent to modifying the completeness of the emotional spectrum in the entire universe.

Therefore, this modification idea was wrong from the beginning.

Therefore, no matter how Xiaoke activated his abilities, the ring still flew towards him who was constantly retreating. Until he figured out the logic at the critical moment, the blue light ring that was flying directly towards him finally turned out of thin air and flew in a completely irrelevant direction, no longer trying to land...

The ring, which was originally turning, was suddenly grabbed by a hand in mid-air.

Chen Tao broke through the space and grabbed the ring. In an instant, his figure flashed and appeared directly behind the Laughing Clown.

His eyes, as cold as the moonlight reflected on the surface of the reservoir, met the ecstatic gaze of the clown.

I don’t know how far away in the darkness it is.

In a hidden apartment building, the clowns have transformed it into their temporary base.

The [Criminal] Joker who was monitoring the scene stood up from his seat expressionlessly. He was a serious gangster thug and a mental patient. His uncontrollable and violent laughter caused him great pain.

The Criminal is the oldest of the three Jokers and not the most powerful, but at least overall he is the mastermind of the three Jokers so he is in control.

He raised his hand immediately.

Bioelectricity burst out from his brain and began to extend through nerve endings toward his arms.

The action of raising his arms is nothing more than a meaningless physical movement. In essence, the Criminal Clown is trying to directly use the ability given to him by the Emperor Clown to modify reality to extinguish his own life.

This is fast, much faster.

It is not an easy thing for the Dark Emperor to change his spokesperson. The spokesperson must have a deep and long-term connection with the Dark Emperor. For example, the little blue man who betrayed and bit his colleague to death in the Blackest Night is at best a servant of the Dark Emperor, while William Hand of the main universe, who has liked "stillness is so cute" since childhood, is the flower he has carefully cultivated.

Although William Hand from the main universe was too useless and caused a huge mess for the Black Death Emperor.

But in short, it took a long time for the Dark Lord to secretly cultivate Faust in the Batman universe. It is not easy to replace him with another one. Even with the help of the Emperor Joker's ability to modify reality, it will take time. What's more, it has not been long since the Emperor Joker and the Dark Lord reached an agreement.

If Emperor Joker's original plan was followed, no matter whether he could kill a member of the Justice League and create a Black Lantern corpse in the next battle, his purpose of persuading the Emperor of Darkness would have been achieved.

Then next, the Criminal Clown will lie dormant until the infusion of the Dark Emperor into him is completely completed with the help of the Emperor Clown, and then immediately commit suicide to become the spokesperson in the complete state.

But due to the secret obstruction of a certain laughing bat, the location of the criminal clown is now...

has been exposed.

"I am unable to use my own magic to achieve the transformation of the clown! (The clown's ability to modify reality cannot work on himself!)"

In the infinitesimal time when the bioelectric current has not yet reached the fingertips, the magical sound waves penetrate the air and resonate in the cochlea of ​​the criminal clown.

Faust, who was far away in Chen Tao's metal spirit space, took the cost of casting the spell instead of Zatanna, and was tragically backfired by the counter-curse magic, screaming like he had epilepsy!

In an instant, the Joker's attempt to commit suicide was instantly invalidated. Zatanna flew over with a Superman Fist and a Rising Dragon, hitting the Joker's mask, and then punched him hard on the chin. The Joker, who was caught off guard, flew diagonally over the chair he had just sat on, and then fell face down on the ground, his front teeth were knocked out, and he fell to the ground while spinning in the air.

He stood up and raised his hand towards Zatanna, wanting to do something, but was immediately countered by her: "The Joker is temporarily unable to modify reality!"

Zatanna didn't dare to directly deny the criminal Joker's ability to modify reality, which would most likely cause Faust to suffer too much backlash from the magic. Even though he had a large amount of magic to sustain his life, he was not well prepared after all. It would be terrible if he died if the power was too great all of a sudden.

At the same time, Gotan Reservoir.

The Joker suddenly turned around when he found Batman appeared behind him like a floating leaf. He finally saw the Batman he had been thinking about.

"Oh, old friend! You wouldn't believe what I've been through since we last parted!"

The Joker raised his cane towards Batman: "And I'm going to show you this interesting change!"

He tried to use his ability on Chen Tao, but failed without a doubt.

This is not only because Zatanna has temporarily banned all clowns from using their ability to modify reality, but also because the target of the Joker the Laugher wants to exert his power is about 1/4 of the dragons of the dark multiverse. If it is the Emperor Joker who possesses the power of 99.99% of the five-dimensional creatures, maybe there will be a chance, Joker?
Batman grabbed his throat and lifted him up from the ground: "Did you agree? Who asked you? You have to wear this ring today even if you don't want to!" The apartment of the criminal Joker.

Zatanna swung her magic sword staff and hit the criminal Joker on the head, using the secret physical magic from Harley Potter Quinn that Batman had just taught him: knock him unconscious.

Her magic sword staff is a sword-shaped short stick that can also be used as a short stick for attacking.

She couldn't cast the spell fast enough, so she had to connect the attacks with physical techniques, so that the criminal clown couldn't stop being hit for even a moment.

The criminal Joker couldn't use his ability to modify reality, Zatanna didn't have time to cast a spell, and we were all ordinary people, so in terms of physical skills...

Well, the Joker is still stronger.

Zatanna dodged the strong acid sprayed from the flower on the opponent's chest as he climbed up, and then was hit in the face by the Joker's head.

She hurriedly raised her hand and chanted a spell. The criminal clown was about to take action, whether using his ability or physical skills, but was suddenly interrupted.

Zatanna summons! Bane punches!

Bane, who was covered in muscles, broke through the space with the green of all things as a path from behind, swung his muscular arms, opened his palms like a palm leaf fan, and slapped the criminal clown...

Caught in the hand.

I dare not take pictures, for fear of being photographed to death.

Zatanna is a spellcaster, so she can be temporarily immune to the Joker's ability to modify reality through a counter-spell cast at the cost of Faust, but Bane has no such protection.

The criminal clown could turn him into a rag doll or something else with just a backhand, so after catching the clown and throwing him to the ground, Bane disappeared without a trace in a flash, and the criminal clown didn't even have time to react how he fell to the ground.

"The clown is completely frozen!"

And another hidden corner...

The Laughing Bat was observing all this quietly.

well.

Everything is according to my plan.

Now that all three clowns are alive, the Black Death Emperor and the Emperor Clown will definitely not let it go.

With this potential threat continuing to ferment, it will be easier for him to guide Batman until he is completely led to his death.

He can...

He was halfway through his thought when he saw Batman say to the Joker:

"I need your help."

"?"

The Laughing Bat sat up straight.

What trick is he going to play now?

The Laughing Bat wanted to continue watching, but then the screen went black.

Batman cut off his snooping...it wasn't surprising that he could sense that.

This Batman controls at least 1/4 of the dark dimension. Even if the Cosmic Dragon is not proficient in controlling this power, it is still easy for him to block the peephole created by the Laughing Bat using the power of Barbatos.

But what made the Laughing Bat feel like he was losing control was that the opponent knew that his operating level was not good enough and it was difficult to guarantee that he would not be spied on for a long time. That was why he chose to block him at the critical time point to ensure that in the next few minutes, he, the Laughing Bat, would not have time to rebuild the "telescope". And during this time when he could not spy, what on earth would the opponent do?

The place of death.

The Black Death Emperor, who was just struggling with the black-robed army, simply let go of the insignificant trivial matter in front of him.

He abandoned the enemies who were holding up huge colorful shields to resist him, and shouted into the void: "Your plan has failed, Emperor Clown! None of your three puppets can die!"

Indeed, after being captured in the aquarium and sent to the Justice League headquarters, the Joker was stuffed into the Metal Spirit space by Chen Tao who came quietly behind. The criminal was caught on the spot by Zatanna, and the Laugher was also controlled by Batman with a blue lantern ring.

Although Batman blocked Necromancer's vision for a short time, Necromancer knew that even if he could see, it would be too late to respond to the situation.

It is a fact that the Joker, like his two predecessors, was captured by Batman.

"You have to do something, you have to take action."

The Black Death Emperor warned: "Otherwise our deal will end immediately!"

He said: "No matter who the three clowns are, at least one of them must die!"

Gotan Reservoir.

"I need your help Joker... This is not the time for us to fight."

Chen Tao forcibly put the blue light ring on the clown's finger, and all this made the clown full of hope.

He tried to use his ability to modify reality as he had planned before, breaking his neck and killing himself, but the hope of life kept bothering the Joker, guiding him towards goodness and towards bright hope.

This feels absolutely terrible.

"You want me to help you, Bat? Hahaha! That's such a good joke. I never thought you were so humorous. It really makes me... want to kill you."

The content about helping made the clown laugh wildly.

He laughed so hard that he fell down. If Chen Tao hadn't been holding him in the air by the neck like a rooster, Chen Tao had no doubt that he would have rolled on the ground.

"The Black Death Emperor will destroy the normal life and death system of this world, and many people will die. If there are no living people left, who will you play with? Joker, when you look back at the world, you will no longer be looking at those pairs of astonished eyes, but a sea of ​​dead tombstones. Don't you feel a little hopeless about such a future?"

Chen Tao was testing the other party with words. He actually didn't know how deeply the Laughing Clown in front of him was controlled by the Black Death Emperor and the Emperor Clown.

He needs to try to deduce the truth from the other party's answer.

"That way I can return from the upper reaches of the hyper-time stream more quickly. Wouldn't that be better for me?"

Chen Tao felt a sinking feeling in his heart, but he also gained a lot of information.

The other party directly called himself the Emperor Clown. This shows that the other party has been brainwashed to the point that he thinks he is the same person as the Emperor Clown.

Although there is a saying that all clowns are clowns, the symptom of not being able to distinguish between oneself and other clowns is undoubtedly the most serious one.

Chen Tao could only give him some shocking news.

As soon as he had a thought, countless nanorobots carried Clay Face's cells and condensed into the image of the Laughing Bat in front of the Clown.

The Joker was so disgusted by the image that he almost vomited. "What the hell, is this what you plan to look like in the future? I think this is much more disgusting than you are now, little Bat. I have always wanted to heal you. You are not the same as before. You have become like me, which is impossible. This is not allowed! Batman will always be Batman!"

"The smile should only belong to me! That thing should not appear on your face!"

He screamed loudly and angrily, and this scolding made him regain some of his self-esteem.

Countless metal mechanical tentacles grew out of Chen Tao's body, and then directly inserted into the clown's body from behind.

"These are about the Laughing Bat..."

Chen Tao transmitted all the information about the Laughing Bat to the Laughing Clown through the power of Bat-Lennyk, which almost made him mad. Then Chen Tao continued to make a request: "I need your help."

"Okay, so what is it, little Bat?" the Joker asked, "That laughing inferior product is so disgusting. In comparison, even though your laugh is also disgusting, at least you are still the Batman of the past, right? You are still Batman, just pretending to laugh, but I will cure you sooner or later!"

"Don't change the subject. I want to commit murder."

"Murder case??? Why, can you even talk about murder so easily now, Batman, you are really sick. Woohoo, my best friend is sick, I am so sad - after committing the murder case, will you make me a cake as a reward?"

"You should be asking me who the murder victim is."

"Okay, who is it, Batboy?"

"It's you."

Chen Tao said.

He gave the Joker a twisted smile.

The Joker goes into cardiac arrest.
