Chapter 804 Chen Tao's Happy, Manic Laughter
Huo Rong knew that this was the closest he had ever come to saving his hometown.
He's almost there.
He dodged the chaos that was about to unfold and skipped the point in time when he couldn't bring his family back to life.
At just the right moment, nip the Batman Who Laughs's plan in the bud...
Then replace it!
"The fist deflects 5 centimeters to the right, and after receiving the first blow, the maniac laughs again, trying to appear behind Superman the Supreme."
"Be careful, it won't be so easy if you damage the Laughing Bat next. The first attack was just because he didn't realize you were there, so he was caught off guard and suffered a loss." The old calamity was quite attentive in his command.
While directing Chen Tao to repel the Laughing Bat, he quickly flashed to the side of Supreme Little Superman.
"Wait, something's not right..." The Foolish Owl, who was watching from the side, was thinking quickly. Batman Dragon was completely held back by the Batman Who Laughs. What an idiot!
He was so engrossed in receiving the old man's commands that he beat and laughed maniacally as if he knew the future, completely ignoring what the old man was doing!
"Take three steps forward, sway to the left, then attack towards the right at 4:00!"
The old man spoke in a very rhythmic voice, and Chen Tao followed along, as if he were dancing.
He simply reached out his hand, and then the maniacal neck appeared in his grasp.
"Hehehe..." The maniacal laughter came out of nowhere. Chen Tao had him squeezed like a dead snake, his tongue sticking out. He hadn't expected Batman to be able to predict the location of the portal he had opened so accurately.
This was completely out of the plan; it's ridiculous and absurd.
"Damn it, this is not at all..."
"Ho—hahaha~ haha~"
Then his voice was interrupted by Batman Dragon's eerie laughter, and he saw Batman Dragon raise his fist, with Devastator bone spikes growing from it:
"Have a bit of imagination, my dear friend!"
His fist slammed into the Thunder Sprite protecting the Laughing Bat, causing the five-dimensional creature to spew pink lightning from its mouth and nose.
But the Bat of Laughter repaired him in an instant... not by his own power, but by the gift of the Mother of the Multiverse or the Hand of the Void.
However, the Batman Who Laughs is completely unsuited to fifth-dimensional divine power. His application of this power is like Batman wearing the Green Lantern Ring, which only turns him into a green bat—it is full of limitations.
It is precisely this limitation in imagination and thinking that restricts the Batman Laughing's ability to perform.
Chen Tao chuckled strangely. At some point, the power of the fifth dimension created a pair of spring shoes on his feet. The soles of his shoes created ripples in mid-air, and then, one after another, the most common water monsters in Gotham City appeared under his feet.
He hopped and skipped around, creating even more garbage high above the massive mountain of code that the Batman Who Laughs himself had created using three timelines.
He laughed shrilly, incoherently, his laughter like layers of sound waves, making the old man's cerebellum throb wildly.
"Very good." He rubbed his temples secretly. He approached Superman, but instead of suddenly attacking him as Foolish Owl had expected, he said to him in an urgent, expert tone, "Stay away from Laughter. This guy is far more dangerous than you think."
He said quickly, "Now that you have the cosmic tuning fork, listen to me, take it slow—we'll first merge the three timelines that were separated by the maniacal laughter back into the history of the main universe, then shrink the entire timeline, and finally restart it."
Superman did not obey his orders immediately.
He stood there stunned for a few seconds, and the old man knew he was communicating with the World Founders.
Then, the next moment, the old man felt the Supreme Superman raise his hand, and some blue, net-like energy bound him within it.
(Note: Advanced applications of biofields can project force fields outwards. See Chapter 1054 of the action comic, where the main universe's Superman pilots a blue biofield Gundam.)
"The embodiment of a biological stance," Superman Supreme said. "I'm sorry, it's not that I don't trust you... okay, I just don't trust you, but whatever your schemes are, or not, you have to do this now. If you have no malicious intent after rebooting the entire universe, I will apologize to you."
He continued, "I'm sorry, you can't break free from this biological field. I'll make sure we're very close, and if you can break free at that close distance, it means you're stronger than me, and then you don't need to obey my orders."
When Foolish Owl saw what Superman had done, he hesitated before he could even offer any words of advice.
It seems not everyone here has suddenly become an idiot. He was pleased to see that Superman Supreme had a basic sense of caution towards this first Genie from a certain timeline, unlike Batman Dragon next to him who was already having a blast with the Batman Who Laughs.
His gaze darted to the side, and he saw Batman Dragon dressed up in a festive outfit not far away.
He pulled a deck of cards from the chest of his tuxedo and hurled these weapons, imbued with fifth-dimensional energy, at the Bat Who Laughs like stones:
"Trying to look like an ace with a face full of patterns? He's just a piece of tattered paper!"
He would sometimes laugh maniacally, sometimes sing softly, and at other times pretend to be the butler, Ah Fu: "Knock knock, curfew time! Young master, it's time to go home and drink your milk!"
One moment he's pretending to be the Joker who just got strangled to death: "You'll always... always be nothing more than a poor imitation of me—neither the Joker nor Batman!"
When he faced the Laughing Bat in this manner, he actually put the opponent at a disadvantage.
During this time, the Bat Who Laughs was not powerless to fight back.
Whether it was Papetua or the Void Hand that granted him the power, he was able to enhance his protective Thunder Sprite to a bizarre degree.
He held the pink lightning bolts in his hands, which coalesced into a pink, smiling electric face... and...
The Batman dragon was cleaved in the air, causing it to roar incessantly.
"My God, how romantic! Our blood dances eternally together at this moment, and we cordially invite you to this chaotic and mad dance!"
The more urgent and fierce the Batman Who Laughs's attacks, the more frenzied Batman Dragon becomes. It's as if he has been suppressing his emotions for a long time, and everything bursts forth like a torrent.
"The first dance is called the March of Maniacal Laughter, and the second is the Waltz of Spinal Fractures—"
Batman Dragon has probably gone completely insane.
As Foolish Owl thought this, the next second he saw Supreme Superman put the blue net-like bio-field on him as well.
"...?"
"Sorry, I don't trust you either, so you'll be treated the same as Huo Rong," said the Supreme Superman. "The biological field will completely bind you. If I find out that either of you has done anything wrong, I only need to raise my fist and you'll both be dead, understand?"
The Supreme Superman raised his fist, the size of a sandbag, threatening everyone equally.
"..."
The foolish owl nodded pragmatically.
Damn it, he has many plans, but many of them remain on his spaceship, and many parts of them can only be launched based on the spaceship.
Which the hell stole his spaceship?! And to make matters worse, it was his main ship! He only has a few smaller ships left, which are completely useless against Superman!
boom!
Not far away, the Batman Who Laughs was blasted away by a bomb created out of thin air by Batman Dragon using his Fifth Dimensional powers, accompanied by his scream:
"Now, groom, please kiss the bomb!"
"damn you……"
The Laughing Bat flickered and disappeared behind the portal, and then the next second, the Old Man Calamity gave a precise coordinate.
Chen Tao appeared there beforehand, then his head transformed into a dinosaur's head, and he bit down on the leg of the maniacal laugher who jumped out from within:
"I'll open a restaurant on your lap!"
He then extended seven or eight metal tentacles and strangled the laughing man's neck: "I won't give you a shred of air!"
"Time's almost up. In 13 minutes and 30 seconds, Superman Supreme, you will be attacked."
Supreme Little Superman heard Old Man Huo Rong say.
Although he was also trapped by the blue, net-like biological force at this moment, the old man still displayed his strategic acumen and insight into everything.
His head turned like a statue, looking at the foolish owl who was bound alongside him:
"Fool, you think you have the killing machine completely under control. If I hadn't exposed your true form beforehand, in the original history, the one standing here right now would be the killing machine you thought you had under control."
He said, "But The Laughing had already tampered with the Killing Machine's body. The stupidest thing you did was to be too clever for your own good, to bring the Flashpoint timeline before The Laughing could and to face him head-on."
"What..." The foolish owl had barely uttered two words when the old calamity turned to the supreme little superman:
"Shut him up, we don't have much time to waste."
Instantly, the Foolish Owl's mouth was blocked by the biological force field, and it could only make muffled sounds.
But the sound turned into a painful groan after the web-like creature's field of vision tightened slightly.
The old man looked at the other party coldly.
Who would have thought that the Foolish Owl, who, with the help of the Anti-Monitor and the Monitor, forced Ling to control Superman Supreme and fight against Batman Dragon, had fallen to such a state after being rewritten through several time loops by the Owl.
In countless timelines before the reboot, Huo Rong was killed by Yu Xiao quite often.
Time and again, the Foolish Owl's plan from the very beginning will make him the one who dominates the entire battlefield, and the pitch difference he drives will naturally lead to the cooperation of Superman Supreme, who will then become his fighting force and his henchmen.
With anti-monitors and monitors around, even Papetua couldn't possibly wrest control of the Cosmic Tuning Fork from the two brothers, let alone the World Builder behind Superman Supreme.
Yu Xiao was supposed to become the spokesperson for both the anti-monitors and the monitors, and to lead the establishment of a new order for the entire main universe's timeline, but now all of this has been directly cut off by Huo Rong.
But his purpose was for his hometown, not simply to vent his anger. The old man Huo Rong understood this very well.
So even though he had been severely suppressed by Yu Xiao before, he wouldn't do anything to him now, much less seek revenge. He only had his goal in mind, that pure and singular goal.
For this goal, he was willing to sacrifice everything and was not afraid of any setbacks. Every mountain he had climbed was merely the path he had come from, and it could not shake his mind in the slightest.
So he said:
"But even if the killing machine isn't here right now, the foolish owl is still foolish enough to hide it with him."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Supreme Superman almost dodged away, but the Old Man Calamity quickly steadied him:
"We can't run away. Running too fast now will make the Batman Who Laughs completely abandon his surprise attack strategy. He has also laid a backup plan in the new universe formed by the merging of these three timelines. Once he activates it ahead of time, our plan to merge several timelines back into one will be destroyed immediately."
"What should I do?"
"Four minutes and thirty seconds left. Get ready. Walk around the two of us. Once four minutes and thirty seconds are up, the killing machine will automatically burst out of the Foolish Owl's all-powerful belt. The killing machine contains the corrupted power of Papetua. It will try to hurt you first, and then achieve its own goal."
"And I absolutely cannot let him succeed!"
"No, you have to play along. I've prepared a plan specifically for you. We can trick them into laughing hysterically, and then..."
Soon, the two of them had discussed and finalized a complete plan, while the foolish owl beside them heard nothing at all. This complete exclusion of him suddenly made him feel insecure.
"So now? So now all we need to do is laugh wildly, launch an attack, and then..."
The old man, Huo Rong, revealed a smile.
"Let's wait and see."
At this time, because the old man was trapped by the biological stance of the Superman Supreme, the Superman Supreme was actually a little worried about him.
The old man could never break free of his biological stance, as he said, unless he had a means to counter the strength of the Superman Supreme, but that was impossible, and the Superman Supreme was quite confident about that.
……
……
……
In the shadows, unnoticed by everyone, the first Lantern and the Shadow Calamity are slowly waiting.
They were commanded by the Laughing One, but the Laughing One seemed not to believe them... yet he still commanded them to remain here.
The maniac laughed, believing he could manipulate them. He could control these two first-generation Lanterns, whom he had seen through completely. Weren't they just having some kind of shady dealings with the World Makers?
His laughter could definitely solve this problem. He could control the first Lantern Man and even use him. Everything was within the Batman Who Laughs's plan.
That's what the maniacal laughter was thinking.
This is absolutely a mistake.
