Chapter 1116 The Mad Laughter of Chen Tao in the Multiverse

In the DC multiverse, you never know who might suddenly turn the tables.

Many characters, in their normal state, might just be ordinary superheroes, like Hawk in Dove and Hawk, or Lex Luthor.

(Note: Warhawk, a superhero, became the villain Emperor during the 1991 Doomsday 2001 event, and the Silent One during the 1994 Zero Hour event. In his normal state, Warhawk is just an ordinary superhero, but after entering these two dark states, he becomes a villain capable of going toe-to-toe with Superman Supreme. During his time as Emperor, he created a future that killed all superheroes, and during his time as Silent One, he nearly orchestrated a DC reboot.)

Luthor's crushing defeat at the hands of the World Maker seemed to have completely disqualified him from the game, but the main universe's Batman, through Black Manta, pushed Luthor into this predicament, and things took a turn for the better.

Luthor is undoubtedly the smartest person in the DC multiverse, and we would usually add "one of" to that, but when it comes to a really crucial moment, the main universe's Batman believes that even Brainiac cannot compare to him.

He gave Luther the freedom to play his part, but he would also add a safety net at the end.

The black manta ray instinctively tried to cover its forehead.

"Don't move. You're on Luthor's ship now. You're not sure if he's monitoring you. Listen, you only have one chance to sabotage things." He heard Batman say to him, "You have to commit at the very last moment before he finishes. Luthor will discover your betrayal, but after that, he won't be able to hurt you anymore."

Black Manta felt a drop in his mind—he wasn't sure what it was, a potion? But how did this materialized potion appear in his mind? The feeling was too abstract to describe in words, like a packaged baby personality suddenly appearing in your mind, and you need to implant it into a brand new body that has just been created.

"What will be the consequences after I've done all this?"

"Luthor can't destroy all the superpowered people and then transform reality into a slave empire that grovels at his feet."

"I want to ask something more specific. For example, what direct consequences will my actions have? Luther wants to create a combat robot that obeys his commands, and what will be the result of me tampering with his combat robot?"

The bat from the main universe on the other end of the telepathic connection paused for a moment.

"It's very simple, you will create hope."

"You better not mess with me."

"You will create the Bat that laughs and bring it back to life."

"What? Say that again?"

"Calm down, listen to me. Long ago, even before dealing with the Worldmaker, I, the Justice League, and Batman Dragon realized one thing: if we fail, no one in the DC multiverse will be able to stop villains capable of destroying the universe."

The main universe Batman gave Black Manta a moment to process the information before continuing, "The logic is simple. We are essentially the strongest immune cells that the DC multiverse can produce. If we fail in a head-on confrontation, the DC multiverse will neither have the time nor the energy to generate new immune cells. Do you understand what I mean?"

"so?"

"So we had a Plan B. We had to use the enemy's power against our enemy—and the most dangerous and terrifying enemy we ultimately chose was the Batman Who Laughs himself. So after we erased parts of each other's memories, that's how the whole plan was set in motion."

Black Manta heard the main universe's Batman say, "We are going to create the Batman Who Laughs' greatest enemy."

"Himself!"

Barbatos was being led around by Batman Dragon Chen Tao, his heart filled with dread. He was now helping Batman Dragon absorb the crisis energy and anti-crisis energy created by the entire DC Multiverse. Due to the actions of Lex Luthor and the World Forgers, almost the entire universe was now engulfed in a super-zombie outbreak.

This super-upgraded version of the Amozzo virus incident has created tens of thousands of chaotic universes comparable to "Heroes of the Dead," it's utterly chaotic, there's everything, even Batman roasting and eating the Joker, Batman being Mr. Freeze, Batman doing wilderness survival—

Barbatos is panicking because he has now become a transit point for Batman Dragon to absorb these energies. Everyone else is using artifacts to absorb positive and negative crisis energies, but Batman Dragon is the only one using a dog.

It doesn't matter if the artifact is broken, but it's all over if the dog dies.

"The normal rate at which the universe generates crisis energy and counter-crisis energy is far too slow."

While Barbatos was still thinking about how to survive, he heard Batman Dragon say, "I have a better plan: to obtain more crisis energy and anti-crisis energy."

Barbatos felt a toothache.

But now that he has already surrendered to Batman Dragon, what right does he have to refuse the other party's offer?

Whatever Batman Dragon is going to say next, all he can do is agree.

"I want to create a multiverse Barbatos for you, an incomplete baby version of the multiverse, attached to the DC multiverse, like two little babies in a kangaroo's pouch."

Strictly speaking, what Batman Dragon can create now is a replica of the clone baby multiverse created by the World Makers.

"You will reenact your successful invasion of the main universe in this replica of the Baby Multiverse."

Barbatos heard Batman Dragon say to him, "You successfully invaded the DC multiverse and then ruled this multiverse for billions of years."

Then Chen Tao told Barbatos the story from the comic "Dark Night Metal" that he had read in his previous life, in which he led the Dark Knights to invade the main universe and then hung every member of the Justice League on the cosmic tuning fork.

Barbatos was completely bewildered.

Who am I? Where am I? When did I successfully invade the main universe? What is the connection between the terrifying demon king who invaded the main universe in the story and me, besides both being named Barbatos?

If I were that scary, would I still be being led by the nose by you?

Regardless of what Barbatos was thinking, Chen Tao quickly finished the degraded infant version of the multiverse.

"Your universe will become a base for crisis energy and anti-crisis energy."

Barbatos sensed something was wrong upon hearing this. The entire universe was filled with stories of how terrifying Barbatos was, how he ruled the entire DC multiverse. How could that possibly generate any anti-crisis energy?

Counter-crisis energy can only be generated when the crisis is resolved, and the solution is—

"Yes, that's right. I'll enter this baby multiverse, beat you up, and the crisis will be resolved. Anti-crisis energy will be born, and then you'll restart the history of this baby multiverse, and we'll do it a few more times."

Barbatos moved his lips slightly.

"Can I avoid getting beaten up?"

"Can't."

Chen Tao politely replied, "This is a necessary sacrifice."
