What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 598: The head of the Laughing Bat was chopped off, the Thief Bat and the tornado destroyed the Laughing Bat’s home!
The first thing we need to make clear is that the power that Emperor Clown can project now is not as strong as many people imagine.

This also gave Chen Tao room to maneuver.

I have to say, making a deal with the Emperor Clown is like selling a rope to hang yourself, but we have to do it.

Chen Tao pried the coffin of the Laughing Bat with force.

This is the universe of the Laughing Bat, Earth-22. If it weren't for the Emperor Joker's power to distort reality, Chen Tao would never dare to come here in person.

This world, sheltered by the outstretched wings of Barbatos, is the headquarters and kingdom of the Laughing Bats.

If the Laughing Bat had not fallen into the current situation, as soon as Chen Tao stepped in, he would be discovered by Barbatos at the first moment, and then he would be surrounded and attacked by Barbatos himself and the entire Dark Knights.

If he really got into that kind of situation... Chen Tao didn't even dare to say that he would be able to escape.

But he still came, because the chance to kill the Laughing Bat would be gone forever. Even though he knew that the Laughing Bat always had a backup plan and that he might survive even if he was killed here, he still wanted to take the risk.

Furthermore, the Emperor's Clown would never want Barbatos to know that he interfered with reality far more than the Anti-Monitor, Parallax and Morhal, and the Laughing Bat would never summon Barbatos unless he had no other choice, as that would certainly expose his disobedience to the other party's orders.

So, there is no better opportunity than now.

Chen Tao and the Emperor Clown did not communicate directly. He just drove a part of the Dark Multiverse Dragon's personality, using his incomplete power to modify reality to contact the Emperor Clown's five-dimensional power that distorted reality... Yes, no need to say more, just like when you are having an affair, you only need a glance.

Do not say.

If I say it, it will come out. Speaking it out will be too embarrassing, too shameful, and too un-Batman and Joker-like.

"Brother Emperor Clown, I can pry open the coffin right away!"

Boom!
When the Laughing Bat heard the noise outside the coffin, he gritted his teeth hard.

Chen Tao finally began to speak openly about the cooperative relationship between him and Emperor Clown, which neither of them acknowledged, in order to undermine the will of the Laughing Bat.

But although he kept calling the Emperor Clown "big brother", he was actually prepared for two things.

First, Chen Tao was using 1/4 of the power of the Dark Multiverse Dragon to build an escape route for himself. If things went wrong, he would have to run away quickly.

Second, as soon as the Laughing Bat comes out of the coffin, Chen Tao will kill him immediately.

As his abilities changed and he achieved a higher status as a god...although it was an incomplete status, he no longer needed to murder the clown in a specially made crystal coffin to prevent possible contamination like when he first traveled through time. As long as the laughing maniac came out of the coffin, he would die no matter what.

Even if he killed the laughing body now, the other party might be resurrected by other means, such as changing the body, but all this would not be without cost, so Chen Tao's goal would be achieved.

But there is only one thing: Chen Tao would never dare to let the Laughing Bat fall into the hands of the Emperor Clown.

The Laughing Bat knows too many things and has many plans and preparations. If these things fall into the hands of the Emperor Clown, they will only cause greater danger and destruction.

He must do his best to prevent the possibility of the Laughing Bat and the Emperor Joker working together. Even if he can't stop it, he must delay it as much as possible. And the other purpose...

While Chen Tao was prying the coffin open with force, a mechanical tentacle of Bat-Lignac extended from his back and connected to the Bat-computer of the Laughing Bat.

Come on, man, he can't come here for nothing.

let me see……

Even if the Laughing Bat doesn't leave the truly core and important things on his computer, it is still a rich treasure.

What the heck, King Robin’s recruitment plan… What a disgusting, unlucky thing. We must not let the Laughing Bat release this thing into the main universe.

What, the Barbatos Legion is expanding... I’ll record this, I want to compete with Barbatos for troops!

What what... Oh, no. This seems to be quite important.

As Chen Tao lifted the coffin, he frowned and made a sound like he was constipated.

The Monitor Hunting Plan... Good fellow, I understand. We use the Monitor's positive matter energy and the Star Brain's antimatter energy to generate huge energy to restart the universe...

Chen Tao immediately thought of Barbatos' trump card in the comics, and used his super computing power to desperately download the data of these laughing bats.

This is a very important matter for him. In the previous comics, a lot of details were glossed over. How did Barbatos capture the monitor? How did he find the Astral Brain? How was his legion recruited?
These details are hidden behind the story that is briefly mentioned, and what Chen Tao lacks most is the information on these exact details.

In addition to stealing information about the Batman Who Laughs, Chen Tao also discovered a lot of unlucky Batmen inside and outside the Batman Who Laughs' basement.

What cross? It’s too bloody and cruel. Put them all down.

The mechanical tentacles behind Chen Tao stretched longer and longer, gradually spreading to the outside of the Laughing Bat's cave.

Why are there so many unlucky guys? We are all Batman. Let’s rescue them all. Then we can find a world to settle them down and find a chance to slowly send them back to their own universe.

More and more Batmen were hanging on the longer mechanical tentacles, like bunches of grapes.

Huh?
As Chen Tao searched, he asked in doubt. Bruce told him that there was a large amount of dark metal stored under the cave of the Laughing Bat. That was the raw material for him to make goggles, as well as a lot of amber gold and n-metal.

Amber Gold is secondary. What's important is N-metal. There is no Hawkman in Chen Tao's universe, so he is also short of this metal.

Soon, the hidden door leading to the lower level of the Laughing Bat Cave was pointed out by the guide Batman. This Batman looked like Bruce, who specialized in forging magic. Therefore, Laughing Bat had once asked him to participate in the forging of dark metal.

The Laughing Bat had made many preparations to hide this door, including many safety precautions. However, as Chen Tao used the Dark Multiverse Dragon's status to modify reality, these ordinary protective measures quickly disappeared.

After the lower level of the Laughing Bat Cave was opened, twisted metal tentacles crawled in, and what came into view was a bunch of bottles, jars, and computer data that Chen Tao couldn't understand.

Does the Laughing Bat know anything about pharmacy? What universe did this strange prop come from? Chen Tao picked up a sword that was obviously Wonder Woman's and waved it, but the sword was inlaid with animal claws, and the style was very similar to that of Cheetah.

Among the things that Chen Tao recognized, there was the Riddler's hat. Is this thing worth collecting?

Oh! Chen Tao controlled the metal tentacles to press the edge of the hat, and then a laser was fired from the question mark on the hat. To some extent, this can be regarded as black technology. At least Chen Tao, with the ability of the master of the metal spirit, did not understand where the energy of this hat came from.

Never mind, just pack up and take everything away.

Wait, there's another layer?
Chen Tao discovered that the Laughing Bat's cave actually had two floors. As expected of a Laughing Bat, it even used nesting dolls to store things.

Let me see what other precious materials there are. Wow, liquid Dionysus factor, good stuff. The metal that gives the clown the ability to heal himself.

Promethium, that's what Deathstroke's armor is made of, it's a huge heap. It's mine.

Deep in the second floor, Chen Tao found the most precious thing he had ever found: bat gold.

This is the last metal that Barbatos used to turn Bruce Wayne, the Batman of the main universe, into the door for him to invade the main universe. It was smelted from the cosmic fire under Gotham City. This metal was completely formed by a giant particle collider and showed a gorgeous red-purple color.

Even in the cave of the Laughing Bats, there was only a small bottle of this stuff.

All the good stuff was taken away.

Wherever the mechanical tentacles go, no matter if the items are useful or not, even a pile of shit from the Laughing Bat will be swept away like a whirlwind. Anyway, the space in the Metal Spirit Space is large enough, and there is only one chance to come to the Laughing Bat's base to restock goods.

But to be honest, how could there be so much metal in the lair of the Laughing Bat, and the stock is so large.

Chen Tao suddenly realized that Barbatos had been preparing to have Batman contaminated with five kinds of metals and then become a portal, and these metals would obviously be used in this plan. Are these stocks in front of him part of Barbatos' plan?
He bought all these goods for 0 yuan. How should the Laughing Bat explain this to Barbatos?
Anyway, it’s not my fault, so it’s none of my business. It’s so funny.

As Chen Tao desperately tried to purchase goods, his struggle with the Laughing Bat over dark metal gradually became clear.

He lifted the dark metal coffin slightly, revealing a small gap, and just before the Emperor Clown's reality-distorting power and Chen Tao's palm were about to rush in together -

A figure appeared beside Chen Tao.

Chen Tao was startled.

A large number of metal tentacles suddenly disappeared, and they all returned to the Metal Spirit's alien space, along with all the things caught in the metal tentacles.

Chen Tao no longer had the chance to be distracted and steal the Laughing Bat's things. He turned around suddenly and prepared for battle.

Another hooded figure appeared out of thin air, followed by another, and another, and another.

In the air, the Emperor Clown's power to distort reality was also sealed by the hooded men. Countless colorful rays of light like meridians were scattered in the air by the hooded men, covering the entire cave like a spider web.

"Who are you?" Chen Tao asked.

"We are members of the Third Legion."

One of them replied to Chen Tao: "You can't kill the Laughing Bat here, otherwise it will have a devastating impact on the future."

"The Laughing Bat must be alive. It is like a source of infection for a virus. Once it is killed, the pathogen it caused will spread outward."

Chen Tao didn't listen to their nonsense.

The Emperor Clown's power to distort reality was just sealed by these guys who called themselves members of the Third Legion, but Chen Tao's real body was here, and he was about to kill the Laughing Bat in the coffin.

"You—can't—do that!"

One second before Chen Tao's metal tentacles pierced through the laughing man's forehead, he was forced to stop his actions. This was not because of the curses from the members of the Third Legion, but because Chen Tao felt that Barbatos' divine power enveloped the world in an instant. It was indeed so.

After the Laughing Bat fell into darkness and completely submitted to Barbatos, his world has been under the protection of Barbatos.

If Emperor Clown had not secretly taken action and the Laughing Bat himself had not quietly blocked the line of sight, neither Chen Tao nor Emperor Clown would have been able to appear in this universe so easily.

Chen Tao knew he had to escape. If he didn't escape now, he would never be able to escape again.

But he still raised his knife and chopped off the laughing bat's head with a "puff". Chen Tao held the laughing bat's head in one hand and opened the space portal with the other. He didn't have time to check whether the laughing bat was dead or not. He immediately disappeared into the cave of the laughing bat.

The men in black also shook their sleeves and disappeared without a trace. The Emperor Clown's power to distort reality also disappeared immediately.

Half a second after Chen Tao's heel left, Barbatos' will descended here.

"What's going on? Laughing Bat, come out and see me!"

……

……

……

When the Laughing Bat crawled out of the coffin, he touched his neck and found that he had no head.

"?"

Where's the head?

Then the Batman Who Laughs realized that Batman had really chopped off his head as he had expected. Haha, stupid guy, I, the Bat Who Laughs, had thought of this a long time ago.

It's no use for you to chop off my head.

Because he was confused, the Laughing Bat couldn't even see anything. But he calmed down a little, and soon with the divine power given to him by Barbatos, the Laughing Bat spent more than 10 seconds to grow a head again.

Of course, the dark goggles on his head were also gone, as Batman cut off his head and took it away. Fortunately, he had a spare one.

Spare...

Where are my spare goggles?

Not to mention the spare goggles, even the entire cabinet was missing.

The Laughing Bat blinked his eyes, even though his eyes were still covered with a layer of mucous membrane. In short, when he regained his sight, he found that his home was cleaner than a toilet.

The Batcomputer...

LOL, there was no computer. His Batcomputer was taken away.

The Laughing Bat crawled out of the coffin. This time it was really dangerous. Fortunately, he had thought about the possibility of being beheaded, so he used the superpowers given to him by Barbatos to transfer his consciousness to his body, so that he could survive the beheading. The head that Batman took away was just an empty shell.

Hehehe, all of this is part of my, the Laughing Bat’s plan!
Then he turned his head and saw the smoke bust that Barbatos had condensed in front of him.

"Laughing Bat, what on earth is going on?"
