What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 683: Let the heroes of the universe suffer, and I will bear the blame

This is the melting pot of the world.

When Chen Tao and Barbatos joined forces and their minds became one, the Anti-Monitor Dragon was so angry that his teeth were about to break.

"Isn't this Barbatos' dog?"

Chen Tao only used this one sentence to make the other party furious.

Barbatos, who appeared in front of the opponent, was warmly received by the Anti-Monitor Dragon, but this still could not change Barbatos' victory. He had too much capital and was indeed much stronger than any of them.

But at the same time, Barbatos is incomplete and needs someone to fill his emptiness.

Well, although this sentence sounds a bit strange, it is true.

Despite murdering his master, Barbatos is not a sixth-dimensional god like the World Forger who was directly created by Pafetua, the Mother of the Multiverse. Its power was acquired later and has not even been completely seized.

The reason he was able to fight both Parallax Mohal and Superboy-Prime in the Crucible of Worlds without taking any damage was because of the resonance between the Anti-Monitor Dragon and his power.

And now Chen Tao has temporarily helped Barbatos complete this circuit by borrowing his power. In a sense, what he claimed was not a lie.

With Chen Tao's help, Barbatos performed very well in the furnace as if he was on drugs.

Chen Tao took advantage of the Joker's psychology. He might be the person who most hoped that Batman would save William, and Chen Tao also knew it.

So Anti-Monitor Dragon and his teammates felt that familiar sense of frustration again during the battle. Either their teammates' firepower would cover their heads during the confrontation, or they would be diverted from the direction of attack and then beaten up by Batman Dragon and Barbatos.

The one who gave them this feeling before was the Black Death Emperor, and the Emperor Clown was the one who caught him.

But if he takes action now, his methods will be much more sophisticated than those of the Black Death Emperor. In an instant, it seems as if everyone is making mistakes and working together to create a disastrous battle.

"Can you hit more accurately, Brainiac?" The Anti-Monitor Dragon is already the main force against Batman and Barbatos, but looking at how smoothly their cooperation is, his body is always entangled by Brainiac's idiotic metal tentacles.

Brainiac said nothing. He had no evidence to prove that it was Emperor Clown who did it, but just as Emperor Clown did not need evidence when he suspected the Black Death Emperor, Brainiac had more or less guessed what Emperor Clown was thinking.

So as soon as his attack weakened, he also began to paddle. With the Emperor Clown around, the harder he attacked, the more the battle situation collapsed. So why bother?
Anyway, William Hand is still in their hands, so why bother to fight against Barbatos in the World Crucible?

So Chen Tao, Emperor Clown, and Barbatos were killing people indiscriminately, while Emperor Clown was responsible for paddling and quacking. When they finally drove out all the invaders in the world furnace, Barbatos and Chen Tao sat opposite each other, panting, and unexpectedly felt a kind of harmony after sharing the same hatred and enemies. Although both Barbatos and Chen Tao knew that this was an illusion, and illusions were false after all, it did not prevent them from sitting together temporarily.

After driving away the uninvited guests, Barbatos closed the portal and turned his head.

"Well done," Barbatos said.

After the battle, he finally picked up the Dawn Lamp that looked like a rag doll again. The Dawn Lamp drooped with its half-open face, looking hopeless.

This time, the Necromancer was just slacking off the whole time, and the Emperor the Clown was just an actor the whole time. Barbatos did not encounter a sufficiently powerful user of the emotional spectrum, so he did not let him play.

But being caught and involved in this super group fight, poor Dawnbreaker could not imagine what a miserable situation he would fall into if he really encountered an emotional spectrum user in the future. Barbatos seemed to have great confidence in him. But this kind of confidence usually means that his desire for revenge after he failed is equally strong.

So now the numb Dawn Lantern can only stare with his fly-like eyes under the goggles, sadly gazing at the Batman Dragon in front of him.

Barbatos touched the Dawnbreaker's head with his huge claws.

“Too sharp.”

He said this, and then rubbed it twice, and the two bat ears on the headband of the Dawn Breaker were flattened.

Chen Tao: "..."

It turns out that Barbatos thinks bat ears don’t feel good.

"You helped me a lot this time, Batman Dragon." Barbatos said, "I will make you die more quickly if I have the chance."

What Chen Tao knew was Barbatos' way of expressing his gratitude. He automatically translated the other party's words in his mind and said, "Thank you, me too. It's a pleasure to work with you."

After these two sentences, the man and the dragon fell into silence.

The two of them seemed to be playing a game of competition to see who would speak first. The only sound in the furnace was the faint breathing of the strange lamp at dawn.

Barbatos was the first to break the silence:

"So, do you want to leave my furnace now and go our separate ways, or..."

Chen Tao was stunned by his question, and then he subconsciously said: "So you were not planning to kill me and take back the 1/4 of the Dark Multiverse Dragon Status from me?"

Barbatos was also confused by the other party's question. He then remembered that as an evil villain, he should do so. So he nodded hurriedly: "Yes, that's what I want to do."

"If you want to steal it, I will blow myself up for you to see." Chen Tao's body lit up with dazzling light effects like lanterns, and then he took a deep breath:

"You won't be able to get this status after I self-destruct. I've made preparations. I've also prepared a countermeasure for my world once I die. Once I die completely, there will be no protector in the world. And you're eyeing me covetously. My newly built cosmic fortress will crash into the dark multiverse world furnace. Although it's unlikely to cause any results, even if it only breaks a layer of skin..."

Yes, this is the normal state.

Chen Tao nodded with satisfaction. Anyway, his plan was not in vain and was put to use. That was enough.

Barbatos sighed.

"So I don't want to take your place now. Can you please come out of my world furnace in a good and kind manner? Be decent."

"No."

Chen Tao answered Barbatos nicely and kindly.

Barbatos sighed, and he felt like he was sighing more now than he had ever sighed in his life.

"So what do you want now?" "I need you to help me save people." Chen Tao briefly shared with Barbatos the information that William Hand and Emperor Clown were planning to play a new era of family death. Finally, he said:

"We must not allow a pervert like Emperor Joker to succeed. For the sake of justice, we must stop him."

Barbatos then heard Batman say as a matter of course: "You'll help me, right?"

"..."

"No, I won't." Barbatos refused without hesitation. He said, "You must get out of my furnace now."

"I am willing to help you invade the main universe at some point in the future."

Then Barbatos heard Batman Dragon say sincerely: "Is this promise and bargaining chip enough?"

"I reject."

Barbatos rejected him ruthlessly: "These are too abstract. You can leave now before I change my mind."

"No room for negotiation?" Chen Tao said, "Don't you believe my promise at all? I swear to heaven!"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"No, I don't." Barbatos said very sincerely, "I don't believe your promise at all."

This is a bit embarrassing.

Barbatos clearly did not trust Chen Tao at all. His trust level dropped to zero, so nothing Chen Tao said would be of any use.

Barbatos then heard Batman say, "If... I mean, if I beg you?"

Batman used charm on Barbatos, but the effect was not satisfactory.

"I still refuse." Barbatos was stunned for a moment, and then he flatly refused: "Don't be like this, I don't accept your plea, I need to preserve my strength, I will not go all the way to help you save people."

He paused, then said, "It's no use even if you beg me."

Perhaps he felt that such words were a bit blunt, but he still explained a little: "I can't leave the Crucible of Worlds, the place where I am most powerful, just because of your simple request, and help you fight against the Emperor Clown and his perfect plan without any benefits. You yourself said that his plan must be perfect."

Chen Tao was a little disappointed. Although he himself knew that this was unlikely, he still fantasized that Barbatos could participate in the plan to rescue William Hand. So when the ordinary plan failed, Chen Tao could only take out plan B.

This time it is no longer moral kidnapping and charm, but real benefits, a price that Barbatos cannot refuse.

So when Barbatos tried to raise his claws to send Chen Taoli out of the country, he heard what Batman said.

"The Emperor Clown has set up a dragnet around William Hand. It is impossible for me to force my way through it with my own strength alone."

“He put himself in the shoes of a hunter, and a hunter never fights a battle unprepared.”

"So I need you, Barbatos, you have to come out and help me."

Barbatos did not speak. Batman's request was too unreasonable. When he had clearly refused, the other party still insisted on doing something unreasonable. This was a bit rude.

If it was just some small matter, he might even do it for his previous help, but this...

Ha ha.

If it was about sabotage, Barbatos might be somewhat interested, but saving people?
There was nothing he could do.

Even if he could, he wouldn't do it for Batman.

Batman couldn't say anything important anymore, but just as Barbatos was trying to divert his attention and throw him out, he heard Batman Dragon say:
"Bat mite."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that I can use bat mites to trick the Zur'na bats from the main universe into the dark multiverse so that you can add more ingredients!"

"And Zur'n'Ah Batman is the Batman of the main universe!"

Barbatos appeared in front of Chen Tao almost in an instant, with golden light shining in his eyes.

Barbatos has always had a dream of invading the main universe, and this plan is to be completed through the body of Batman in the main universe as a portal. For so many years, Barbatos has been trying to add materials to the body of Batman in the main universe and gather enough metal to serve as a portal, but progress has always been slow.

After all, Batman in the main universe has always stayed well in his own universe. Special cases like being sent to ancient times by Darkseid's Omega Judgment during the Final Crisis are rare after all.

Barbatos has limited means at his disposal as the subject, and there are a lot of restrictions. He has to whisper in one character's ear and guide another character to act in order to create an event similar to "Batman: Endgame" and infect Batman with the Dionysus factor. He can only infect one person at a time, which is extremely inefficient.

If Batman Dragon can really trick the Batman from the main universe as he said, it means that the completion rate of Barbatos' plan will directly reach 100%.

Barbatos would certainly not let go of such a good opportunity.

"Are you sure you know what this actually means?"

"Yes, your plan to invade the main universe will proceed faster and can be completed almost in an instant." Chen Tao shrugged: "But so what?"

Even without Chen Tao's help in the original work, Barbatos completed his plan. He just sped up a little now.

Isn't it just an overdraft? Too many lice don't itch, too many debts don't worry. Damn Bruce from the main universe helping the weak, helpless and pitiful counterparts in the dark multiverse, isn't that the right thing to do? Take up the responsibility of Batman in the main universe, bastard!
So when the need arose, Chen Tao sold out old Bruce Wayne from the main universe without any psychological burden. Anyway, the Justice League of the main universe had been blessed with destiny and permanently enjoyed the super buff of "heroes will never fail completely". If he didn't invite players with full buffs to resist the damage, would he do it himself?
"So," Chen Tao said, "Are you satisfied with this gift?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied." Barbatos said: "Deal!"

Chen Tao immediately spoke out the words he had prepared in his mind: "But the problem is that my little Robin William Hand was kidnapped on Earth 1, and Barbatos, you can't enter the main universe... Do you have any solution?"
