What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 633: Dr. Manhattan's Hide and Seek with the World Forger

The "destruction" that Brainiac talked about is not the same as the "devouring" that Barbatos used to do, when he simply and roughly swallowed a universe alive and then left an empty shell in its place.

The former simply cuts off the energy that should have returned to the World Crucible. The destroyed universes are only destroyed on the "current" timeline, but in the "past" of the super-time flow, the timelines of these universes still exist.

Simply put, if the universe was a living person, Barbatos would kill the living person, then use the corpse to cook a pot of mosaic prion soup to drink, and after drinking it, he would smack his lips twice, and that would be the end.

But even if this "living person" dies, the chemical energy contained in the corpse will be absorbed by Barbatos. One day, after Barbatos is defeated, these energies will still be spit out by him and re-participate in the entire super-time flow cycle.

Just as raindrops falling into the sea will one day turn back into water vapor and condense into rain clouds in the sky again, Barbatos only absorbed the energy but did not make it disappear out of thin air.

But what Brainiac is proposing now is to completely erase the existence of this living person. The past, present, and future, the entire universe will completely and thoroughly disappear in the super-time stream, as if this universe has never existed in the super-time stream.

This is exactly what the World Forger wants to achieve, to permanently weaken the Hypertime Stream in this way, and then appear at the right time to harvest all the energy collected by Brainiac for destruction, and use it to forge his own Hypertime Stream.

"If we want to pull the past, future, and present of this world out of the super-time stream, the first step is to destroy the future of this world. This is also the easiest step."

Brainiac told the Black Death Emperor: "And the method is very simple, you will understand it as soon as you hear it, that is to destroy this world."

Yes, when the universe returns to nothingness and is completely destroyed, what future does this universe have?

The timeline of the universe is a road. What Black Death Emperor has to do is to change the "end of the road" which may have been "hundreds of thousands of years later, this universe will be destroyed" to "a few hours later, this universe will be destroyed."

Essentially, it shortens the length of the "road" to make it easier for Brainiac to steal it.

"But please note that this destructive future is not created by us, but is due to the original trend of the future timeline of this world, which is towards destruction."

Brainiac said: "If we suddenly cut off the originally long timeline, it is very likely that the super-time stream will detect an abnormality, which will then trigger a counterattack from the super-time stream."

What is the counterattack of the super time stream? Of course, it is a superhero. When the time comes, the world will be the same force. It is no joke. Even the baby multiverse can be crushed by you.

"After this universe is destroyed, I will intercept a point in time before the destruction on the timeline of this universe, and then transfer this universe to the multiverse fusion space I created."

Brainiac said: "I will lead these universes to fight each other until one destroys the other."

"I don't quite understand." said the Black Death Emperor.

"This is essentially a ritual," Brainiac said. "If you need a scientific explanation, I can tell you this: This is a deception of the super-time stream. When one universe destroys another, their histories merge at a certain point. And through this point, I can completely merge the two timelines together."

In other words, through Brainiac's act of causing a war between the two universes, the two "roads" intersected together, forming a Y-shaped intersection, and Brainiac could operate through this intersection to merge the two ends of the Y together, completely turning II into I.

And so on, each world fights each other, and the last one left is the grown leek.

Having Necromancer become the leader of this temporary alliance is a favorable outcome for both Barbatos and Brainiac.

In fact, both Barbatos and Brainiac knew very well that what they gave up was not so much "leadership" as it was the power to destroy the world.

Because their actions are essentially doing bad things, digging into the super-time stream. Before, Brainiac stole universes from the super-time stream only those that were about to be destroyed.

For example, "Future of the Condor Heroes", or Earth 3 destroyed in "Crisis on Infinite Earths". Yes, it is the universe of the Crime Syndicate, the ancient Earth 3, when Superman was still called Ultimate Man and Night Owl was still Owlman, with a real, furry owl on his head.

These universes are all destroyed naturally. They have reached their own time in the super-time flow, which is reasonable and legal.

Then Brainiac started stealing directly, and there was no major hidden danger.

But if someone deliberately destroyed it in the super-time stream in order to steal the universe, that would be completely different... This is directly turning stealing into robbery!

Even if the hyper-time stream did not react for a while, when the multiverse merged, Brainiac completely melted the past and future of this universe, causing the hyper-time stream to permanently lose energy and suffer severe damage.

When people start bleeding, the hyper-time stream will trace back the history and find out that it was you, Barbatos or Brainiac, who robbed them. It is inevitable that you, the guy who destroyed the universe in the hyper-time stream, will suffer backlash.

Among the three of them, only the Black Death Emperor is the spokesperson for death. He himself represents death, so only he can...

Well, I can’t make up any more stories. In short, the most important reason is that the backlash is extremely delicious, and the Black Death Emperor must drink it first.

Therefore, at this point, even though it was a rare opportunity for the Dark Lord to come over, neither Barbatos nor Brainiac had any intention of snatching him away.

In fact, destroying the world is also the duty of the Black Death Emperor. When he launches the Blackest Night, the world should naturally obey the will of Lady Death.

The Black Death Emperor seemed to be completely unaware that the leadership opportunity pushed out by the other two was a huge pitfall. He accepted the responsibility contentedly and immediately began to issue orders:
"Barbatos, the Laughing Bat should have told you about our cooperation with the Emperor's Clown... and the result is just as you can see."

"Parallax Mohal will soon deal with Emperor Joker and come to help Batman Dragon. And you must resist his invasion in the hyper-time stream..."

As he said this, Brainiac next to him was slightly dazed.

Huh?
Why would I do something so dangerous?

The data is being analyzed...

Brainiac began to use his computing power to analyze, but could not find anything.

Why did I go to so much trouble to expose my plan in front of the beast Barbatos, and even offer him half of my sixth-dimensional energy as a reward to bring him into the group?
That was indeed the case. It was Brainiac who looked for rice and it was also Brainiac who set the pot and cooked. But when the rice was cooked, he wanted to give half of it to Barbatos. Isn't this idiotic?

And more. And more.

I could obviously take my time and gradually collect those universe timelines that should have been destroyed in the super-time stream, like a thief stealing things quietly in a grocery store.

Although stealing may be slow, it can still become the terrifying amount of money I need over time. But why should I, who is not in a hurry at all, give up the safe and stable theft and turn to open robbery in collusion with others?

To complete the main mission of the Pacific Convenience Store robbery?

My behavior from just now until now has been completely stupid and mentally retarded no matter how you look at it, but why am I only now reacting and feeling a little strange?
Brainiac still had some reaction, but Barbatos was completely taken over by greed.

Instead of reflecting on whether his behavior was a bit out of line, which was different from his previous policy of turning a deaf ear to the outside world and only wanting to gnaw on corpses, he was thinking about how powerful a new realm he would reach after absorbing the six-dimensional energy refined by Brainiac.

He even wanted to throw the body of the World Forger into the big pot of rice cooked by Brainiac, but he soon shuddered and gave up the idea. "How can I think like that? It's too dangerous..." But Barbatos didn't think about it any further, and his thoughts stopped here.

And Brainiac's thoughts had not stopped yet.

"Something's not right. This isn't good... Am I being manipulated? There isn't any sign... And who would need to manipulate me to achieve these goals... I simply..."

The more Brainiac thought about it, the more terrified he became, and he could hardly keep the expression on his face.

He looked at Barbatos, who was still discussing the way to destroy the world with the Dark Emperor, and who was still ignorant despite having great power. The fear in his heart reached its peak in an instant.

He thought he saw a giant hand slowly opening behind his two temporary allies, with countless threads connecting them to their bodies, pulling them like puppets.

Brainiac took an almost imperceptible half step back, but then forcibly stopped himself from taking such action.

He just stood there with his body slightly turned sideways, but he had silently prepared to break through the space and quickly leave the two temporary allies, even if he would be hunted down or risk being attacked in the future.

He must find out who controls...

But just as Brainiac thought of this, a whisper sounded in his ears.

The layers of echoing whispers made his brain explode.

After more than 10 seconds, Brainiac completely forgot the doubts he had just had and devoted himself to planning how to help the Dark Lord destroy the universe in front of him.

Outside the time stream, the World Forger stopped the whispering sound from moving his lips expressionlessly.

Brainiac's escape was somewhat unexpected to him. This super artificial intelligence had been completely coded by him over the years, but he actually relied on the facts to deduce a very correct answer based on the intelligence he had.

It's remarkable, but that's all.

The World Forger narrowed his eyes.

Yes, that universe is next. The Reverse Flash universe, the reflection of the Flashpoint timeline in the dark multiverse.

There is a reason why the World Forger is driving Barbatos and Brainiac to proactively bring this universe into the multiverse.

Among many major events, the Flashpoint event not only opened the New 52, ​​but was also very special.

As an isotope in the dark multiverse and a mirror image of the major events in the main universe, this dark multiverse Flashpoint, which was forged by the super-time stream through the hands of the forger of another world, should have risen into the main universe and become the Flashpoint event if it had not been flawed.

Although this timeline was eventually abandoned in the dark multiverse due to collapse, the timeline of this universe, like the timeline that became the flashpoint event of the main universe, has an extremely important connection with someone.

Boo!
The World Forger lowered his brows, and then he disappeared on the spot.

The next second, a large number of blue light spots condensed into the appearance of Dr. Manhattan at the location where the World Forger just existed, and then Dr. Manhattan also disappeared into the air.

Dr. Manhattan quickly returned to the past when the World Forger existed, but only found a faint black shadow in the past.

As the eldest son of Pafetua, the mother of the multiverse, when the World Forger is on the verge of death, he can leave a part of himself in the multiverse central control room in the sixth dimension.

Unless Dr. Manhattan wants to make a big move, it will be difficult to catch this rat.

Based on this result...

The World Forger is taking a gamble that Dr. Manhattan won't interfere with his actions.

Yes, that is what the World Forger is planning:

The quantum power of Manhattan.

Behind the Flashpoint incident is Dr. Manhattan's 10-year experiment of stealing the multiverse, and a trace of residual power from this unprecedented super theft was also fed back into the universe of Flashpoint in the dark multiverse.

When the World Forger obtains this quantum force, he will be able to use it to influence more of the history of the main universe and leverage more timelines involving Dr. Manhattan.

That was enough for him to risk it…for the greater good.

And if his guess was correct, Dr. Manhattan, the ruthless "god" who only cared about experiments...

The World Forger watched as the blue shadow belonging to Dr. Manhattan beside him disappeared into thin air.

He blocked communication with Dr. Manhattan, and now they can only see each other's shadow.

He just guessed...or bet that he wouldn't pursue it.

The World Forger breathed a sigh of relief.

It looked like he had won the bet.

And next...

The Caster turned his gaze towards the chessboard.

Necromancer, Barbatos, Brainiac, dragging the Dark Multiverse Flashpoint into destruction seems foolproof, but he still needs an insurance policy.

The World Shaper closed his eyes. Batman's Dragon might be a threat to the plan, especially since he had superhero attributes and his immune system could be recruited to transcend the time stream.

He also needs the help of one person, a character who currently seems to belong to Batman Dragon's camp. He must deal a fatal blow to Batman Dragon at the critical moment and completely cut off his hope of resistance.

The figure of the World Forger disappeared on the spot.
