What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 667 Batman: Lord Barbatos, we are here to save you! (5000 words long chapter)
(666, this chapter name is worth remembering)

When Parallax Mohal pulled his head out of the sand, he was greeted by the scorching sun.

In the dazzling sunlight, he saw an endless desert with a few sparse cacti around him.

This is Earth 18.

A world where all superheroes are cowboys, and the superhero group is the Justice Riders.

A world without any bright spots. Except for the western style, all the superheroes are not powerful. The Batman here is "Batwhip", a western version of Batman who is good at using whips.

Hal fell out of the space-time shuttle gate and landed here by coincidence. This is the current time point of the super time flow. Parallax Demon Hal succeeded, and the injuries he suffered were completely within the acceptable range.

Hal checked his injuries.

His condition at this time was not very good. Lantern No. 1 plundered a small half of his antimatter cosmic energy, which meant that part of his power was permanently lost.

The fierce fight with Barbatos and the Black Death Emperor who was supported by Barbatos' power greatly consumed Hal's physical strength. He continuously created space-time rifts to cut the super-time flow, while also fighting against Brainiac. In addition to those extremely powerful metal tentacles, Brainiac's psychic power also intended to invade Hal's brain all the time.

In order to save energy, Hal did not use other powers, but relied on willpower alone to resist the mental invasion, which made his willpower slightly exhausted.

But it's all worth it -

"I'm safe!"

Barbatos has fled.

Although Hal at this moment did not know that the enemy who posed the greatest threat to him was now under siege by many people under the alliance of the Emperor Clown and had no time to take care of him, Hal still breathed a sigh of relief.

He climbed out of the sand, but did not contact Batman.

Although he was now able to successfully reach the downstream of the super-time stream, thanks to Batman Dragon, Parallax Demon Hal ultimately did not choose to believe the other party.

Batman may be very eloquent, and what he said may have fooled Parallax Hal for a while, but Parallax Hal is not stupid or dumb. On the contrary, as long as he is willing to use his brain, he is even quite smart and has leadership qualities.

He might be deceived by Batman's dragon for a while, but as long as he is given time, he will gradually realize the real thoughts behind the words Batman casts on him.

He is afraid of losing his own trust, so he posturs and tries to direct his actions in unnecessary ways.

why?
Parallax Mohar didn't know, but he suspected...

Batman's Dragon has something on his mind.

Such doubt alone would make him stop having expectations for Batman.

It’s best if Batman hasn’t found him now. Not only will Hal not contact Batman, but he will try his best to cover up his whereabouts.

His injuries were not serious, but definitely not light either. What he should do now was to find a place to hide, heal his injuries, and then think about how to defeat Barbatos and the superheroes in the main universe on the current timeline, completely restart the entire universe, and create a perfect world.

As for the other ally...

Hal's eyes flickered.

As for the Time Trapper, after all, when Hal joined forces with him to fight against Barbatos in the Crucible of Worlds, he had already confirmed that the other party had the same goal as himself, so the degree of trust in him was much higher than that of Batman's Dragon.

But Hal still had no intention of contacting him.

One must be on guard against others. He is still relatively weak now, even though the Time Trapper has the same goal as him, which is to create a perfect world.

But... less is better.

Hal made a wise decision without knowing the full story.

In fact, it was Superboy-Prime who teamed up with Hal to fight against Barbatos in the Crucible of Worlds. The Time Trapper impersonated Superboy-Prime and took advantage of Hal's [favorability] towards Superboy-Prime to team up with Hal.

He is the evil version of Superboy-Prime at the end of time. He was resurrected because of the Earth-15 incident and became an independent existence without the causal chain of the past and future. After the real Superboy-Prime teamed up with Hal, he was locked back in his own super time stream position and has not come down yet!
Hal mistakenly thought that the Time Trapper had the same purpose as him, but in fact, Superboy-Prime had the same purpose as him, and the Time Trapper?
He wants to be the second Barbatos!
Parallax Mohar floated up from mid-air.

He originally planned to find a good place to build a base nearby, but then he changed his mind and realized that it made no difference to him where the base was built, so he simply raised his palm, and then a large amount of green light energy gushed out from his palm, and he began to dig directly on the spot where he was standing. Suddenly, the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, and an unknown amount of sand was discharged into the sky.

He had created a base deep underground in the desert using green light energy. This was a piece of cake for him. When the coastal city was just destroyed, Hal even used his willpower to create a city and 700 million people using the light ring. These "people" made of green light energy could run, jump, walk and lead their own lives. Compared with such a feat, creating a base was nothing.

But just as he was about to enter after creating the opportunity, he suddenly stopped inputting green light energy and then turned around abruptly.

Hal turned sideways.

His palms glowed green again, and the base that had just materialized disappeared in an instant. A large amount of sand returned to its original position, but Hal didn't care. The sand could be drained away at any time. More importantly...

people in front of you.

A dark blue portal opened in front of him. At this time, in a similar location, who else would visit Earth 18, this corner of the multiverse?
In Hal's opinion, there is only one possibility:
enemy.

Either Barbatos or Brainiac... Hal guessed it was Brainiac. This green monster had been hiding behind Barbatos. No one knew what he was going to do. If someone could find him, it could only be...

A figure flew out from behind the portal, and Hal almost raised his palms to hit the other person's head with a huge green lightning.

"Hal! It's me! Hal! Don't do it!"

Hal, who was on high alert, was stunned for a moment.

He lowered his palms and saw the Time Trapper flying out of the portal with his hands raised high.

"how did you find me?"

"We are allies. I sensed your energy and have been helping you adjust the node where you fell into the current timeline to prevent you from being dragged into some messed up place like the Phantom Zone."

When Hal heard this, the trapped person paused, then said:
"You really did it. You beat the crap out of Barbatos and his gang. Well done, ally."

He called Hal and said, "Let's go. I have prepared an alien dimension to serve as a base for our operations. My ally, you need to recover your strength, and then we will plan a blueprint for how to make this world more perfect."

He walked up to Parallax Mohar and stood shoulder to shoulder with him naturally.

There was nothing suspicious about what he said.

Hal followed him and flew towards the space gate.

Nearly.

The portal was getting closer and closer, Hal was in front and the Time Trapper was behind, and then in an instant, the two of them launched a sneak attack on each other almost at the same time.

Hal turned sideways suddenly, narrowly avoiding the palm of the Time Trapper that was about to pierce his back. The palm's attack position was very tricky, aiming at the wound on his back. Then he swung his fist back and hit the Time Trapper's face under his hood, causing blood to splatter from his nose.

boom!
Although it was a hasty fight, the battle between the two of them caused the desert beneath their feet to explode like a nuclear bomb in an instant. A large amount of sand was blown high into the sky, and the tremendous force broke through layer after layer of the surface, causing the red magma of the mantle layer to spray into the sky like rain.

They were like a cut on the surface of the earth, and those who were trapped in time obviously suffered the greater loss.

Hal rushed directly towards him, grabbed his neck fiercely and pressed him directly into the surging magma. He struggled desperately and punched Hal in the face again and again with his backhand. Then Hal opened his mouth and spewed a large amount of flaming green light energy at him, burning his whole body, and he roared angrily.

"Damn traitor bastard, you dog, what bargaining chips did Barbatos give you..." Parallax Demon Hal didn't finish his words before looking at the face under the hood of the Time Trapper, which suddenly became expressionless again.

Then a thought came into his mind, no, not Barbatos, there must be someone else.

This is an intuition. Parallax Mohal accidentally realized that he was not fighting Barbatos, but who was plotting against him?

Who could have instigated the Time Trapped One, his ally, to try to deal a fatal blow to him now that he had succeeded?
"It's useless. You can't beat me." Hal didn't have time to think about it. He subdued the other party and then tortured him. He lifted the other party out of the magma, then strangled him by the neck and flew high into the sky.

From the moment the Time Trapper's sneak attack failed, it was doomed... Poof!
Hal lowered his head in a daze. He saw a huge crack in his body, and the antimatter cosmic energy, which was black like the universe and sparkling with the light of tiny stars, kept flowing out of the crack.

In an instant, Parallax Demon Hal was severely damaged, and a small part of the antimatter cosmic energy that had already been plundered by Lantern No. 1 was plundered again.

How is this possible? The first Lantern was able to plunder Hal's antimatter cosmic energy because the sixth dimension god world forger who was hiding behind the scenes secretly took action.

The one in front of me...

In an instant, he seemed to have completely lost the power to resist, floating limply in the air.

"Success." A mini version of the Emperor's Clown flew out from the Time Trapper's body, followed closely by another mini version of the Anti-Monitor.

Anti-Monitor!
They rushed towards Parallax Demon Hal from the left and right, and the Time Trapper followed closely behind: "Capture him alive, he has been seriously injured, and all the antimatter cosmic energy in his body will be ours."

But the next second after the trapper's fingers touched Hal's body, Hal, who seemed unable to move, suddenly opened his eyes. He ignored the huge wound on his waist and suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood that sprayed on the trapper's face.

This street-fighting-like move appeared on this powerful man who was infinitely close to the god of the sixth dimension, and it actually produced a good effect.

The Time Trapped Person had never expected that he would do this, and was immediately hit in the chest by the opponent's heavy fist.

As he flew backwards like a comet, Hal disappeared into thin air in a thunderous green light.

The smoke cleared, and miniature versions of Emperor Joker and the Anti-Monitor floated in front of the Time Trapper.

The two clones made of the fifth dimension's divine power spoke in unison: "You screwed up, Time Trapper. Not only did you fail to catch Parallax Mohar, you still let him escape."

The trapped person's face turned pale and he said nothing.

"But it doesn't matter even if he runs away." The Mini Emperor Clown shook his big head and said, "Anyway, we have already collected Hal's antimatter cosmic energy."

He snapped his fingers, and the mini Anti-Monitor next to him opened his palms. A large ball of black antimatter cosmic energy condensed into a ball in his palms and appeared in front of the Time Trapper.

The Time Trapped's eyes suddenly showed greed: "You can't lose even a cent of your promise to me."

"What, no, of course not less." The Mini Emperor Clown winked at the Mini Anti-Monitor, and then the antimatter cosmic energy entered the body of the Time Trapper.

There was a hint of mockery in the eyes of the Time Trapper. They must have thought that after these energies entered his body, they could still extract them from his body just like they had taken them out of Parallax Demon Hal's body before. But what they didn't know was that once these powers entered his body, they belonged to him.

Otherwise he would have been a fool to team up with Emperor Joker and the others to backstab Hal - and it would have been worth it.

"Yes, well done." Emperor Joker said, "As long as we have this energy, we can take back the more antimatter cosmic energy that Lantern No. 1 got from Parallax Hal. It doesn't matter if Parallax Hal runs away, he won't hurt the overall situation anyway."

He said: "The stage effect is the most important!"

He said to the Time Trapper: "When the time comes, if you help us kill Lantern No. 1, we will not only eliminate the hidden danger for you, but also let you get energy, then we will be even! But before that, you who possess the energy of the antimatter universe have to help us..."

at the same time.

The Emperor Clown who was besieging Barbatos curled up his lips into a smile.

Batman, where are you?

He thought expectantly.

……

……

……

Barbatos was fighting five people at once, tall and strong.

Brainiac, Darkseid, Emperor Joker, Lantern #1, Anti-Monitor Dragon.

There were five people in total surrounding him, and Barbatos was almost numb.

Barbatos' eyes were darting around and he wanted to struggle.

"Black Death Emperor, I just..."

"Your death is worth more than any other universe."

Barbatos cursed the Black Death Emperor in his heart.

The Anti-Monitor Dragon pounced on him like a mad dog. Barbatos tried to control the opponent, but he felt that the energy he left in the opponent's body was very stagnant and did not have much impact on the opponent's actions at all.

The energy of the anti-monitor in the opponent's body was seriously exceeded. Barbatos didn't know when the opponent had quietly accumulated so much energy.

Barbatos never thought that one day he would experience the same treatment as the Forger of his master's world.

"Let me go--"

“Aa ...

Barbatos roared, and it was hard to tell whether it was a cry of pain or a roar of anger.

"You are just one of my..."

"Ah!!!! Let go!"

Brainiac's metal tentacles strangled Barbatos' neck from behind, and Necromancer's scythe struck Barbatos' forehead almost at the same time. Necromancer and Brainiac had already developed coordination in the battle with Parallax Morhal just now, and now they all came together to let Barbatos feel the results of their practice.

Barbatos no longer wanted to fight with this group of lunatics, so he broke through the space and tried to escape, but the space he had just broken through was closed by the Emperor Clown using the fifth dimension divine power. The Anti-Monitor Dragon bit one of Barbatos's feet from behind and dragged it back into the siege circle.

it's okay no problem.

After a brief panic, Barbatos quickly regrouped.

He was much stronger than any of those who besieged him, and he could not sustain serious injuries for a while. As long as he could overcome the panic after being suddenly besieged, it would not be impossible for Barbatos to escape like Parallax Demon Hal.

Anyway, he didn't have to fight the Emperor Clown to win or lose. Even if he won, what would it matter? Wasted energy was free?
He just needs to calm down now and find a chance to escape. Things can't get worse than they are now -

As soon as Barbatos had this thought, a strange sound was heard on the entire siege battlefield. It was the cry of Batman Dragon.

His voice pierced through space and resounded directly in the turbulent void outside this dark multiverse:
"Lord Barbatos, Lord Barbatos!"

"You are the patron saint of the entire multiverse, we all love you!"

"Hold on, hold on, Lord Barbatos! Don't give up!"

"I'm here to save you!"

Hearing this voice, Barbatos felt a chill down his spine.

Hey, don't come over here!

If you come here and interfere, I'll fucking -

Can I still run away? ? ? ? ?
