Chapter 798 A Future Destined to Shatter, Is Success Possible?
Chapter 798 A future destined to be shattered, is there any possibility of success?
Life is meaningless.
No matter what dreams and hopes you have for the future, no matter how happy your life is...
The final result is the same.
It would be good to live out the rest of my life in the main universe, protected by superheroes.
Whether she becomes a rotting corpse in the timeline of the Fall of the Empire, is transformed into a mechanical bug in the post-apocalyptic future timeline, or has her head cut off by an Amazon warrior early in the Flashpoint timeline, it doesn't matter.
The end result is always death.
Chen Tao knew.
Every person in the DC multiverse will return to death, complete and ultimate death, eternal annihilation.
This is the inevitable path, an outcome independent of human will.
When Chen Tao and his companions arrived in the timeline of the corrupted kingdom and destroyed all the decaying black corpses in the entire timeline, completely saving all mortals in this world, the jubilant crowd quickly disappeared and, under the manipulation of the Laughing Bat, was taken to the second timeline.
These beings from the main universe were plundered from the main universe's timeline by the Batman Who Laughs, who then placed them into different branch timelines, causing them to take on various forms.
After realizing that Superman Supreme had saved this timeline, The Laughing naturally launched a counterattack, dragging these creatures into the next apocalyptic future timeline.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Batman Who Laughs will play this game of going through worlds one by one for half a day, until he drags it out long enough for him to take a big bite out of the main universe timeline.
But Chen Tao knew he wouldn't succeed.
So at this moment, everyone in the league is following behind the first Lantern.
"The Batman Who Laughs' plan is excellent, but there's a flaw in the whole plan."
Among a group of miserable refugees, the first Genie pulled a bewildered woman out of the crowd; she had a... around her neck.
Camera?
"Hello?" Chen Tao stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.
There was no reaction whatsoever.
Hero Ri poked his head over from the side and opened his blood-red maw at the other party... still the same.
The woman was dazed.
The Supreme Little Superman also leaned his head in.
With a click, the woman raised her camera and took a group photo of Chen Tao, Supreme Little Superman, and Hero Day.
"Hey, you can't just take pictures like that..."
"What...?"
"Well……"
Chen Tao quickly shifted his attention from the trivial matter of having his picture taken, and then asked the elderly scoundrel next to him, "How does it work?"
"This guy's name is Vico. I don't know if he has an counterpart in your Dark Multiverse, but at least in the main universe, Vico the journalist is a classic character."
Vic Vale is a classic character: Batman's early girlfriend, a Gotham Gazette reporter, and most importantly, a woman with Conqueror's Haki.
Each supervillain, for various reasons, would not harm her in the slightest and would even provide her with big news for free. Those who wanted to harm her were just small fry who could be easily dealt with.
"Yes, I think you guessed it. The female reporter Vico was very lucky. If superheroes are the immune cells of the multiverse, then Vico is the monitor that watches over these cells."
The old man said, "Vico's existence ensures that she remains unharmed and completely normal, regardless of whether it's in the Flashpoint, the arrival of the UK, or the post-apocalyptic future timeline."
He held up a finger: "And by borrowing the power of the God of Dreams, we can travel through multiple timelines via Vico and appear directly in front of the Bat Who Laughs."
Upon hearing this, Hero Ri opened his mouth as if to say something, but Chen Tao pulled him back, preventing him from blurting it out foolishly.
Then he heard the old evil spirit say, "I have stolen a portion of the power belonging to the God of Dreams, so now, all you need to do is..."
Chen Tao just watched as the old man became a scourge.
He suddenly realized something.
The elderly seem to be a scourge on the nation...
It seems there's no understanding of the relationship between Heroes' Day and the God of Dreams?
No, if he came from the past, then he would know this, and the only explanation is...
When he returned this time, history took another turn, a turn he had not anticipated.
It was truly tragic; Chen Tao almost felt sorry for the other person. Someone trapped in the past, repeatedly trying to change history, would never succeed.
Or rather, since the birth of the DC multiverse, the history of this universe has been a continuous forward surge. Trying to play the game of self-discipline and restoration of the old order is going against the general trend of the entire DC multiverse.
Even someone like Superman the Primal or Parallax Morhal would struggle to move, let alone him.
"I did it."
Then he heard the other person's voice.
He looked a little tired, but also a little excited.
He succeeded, and Chen Tao knew that his plan was progressing steadily.
However, this is also beneficial to him. In any case, he should deal with the Laughing Bat first.
Speaking of which, the only thing that can control a freak like the Maniac Laughter, who is always in the planning stage, is something like time travel, which involves infinite historical rewriting and high-speed movement.
Strictly speaking, Kuangxiao had always been in control, sitting firmly on the sidelines, without making any mistakes. However, there was a Calamity from the trans-timeline who was able to jump out and deal with him, knowing all of his plans that he had not told anyone before.
Could this also be considered another form of "evil people will be punished by evil people"?
but……
Chen Tao felt a vague sense of unease.
The old man returned so many times, but he never achieved his ideal; he was always a failure.
He tried again and again to come back and reverse his failures, but what was the final result?
Will this attempt succeed?
Chen Tao wanted to know this; he wanted to know if his actions to rewrite his own history would actually be effective.
He told himself that he was just curious.
He told himself that he just wanted to gather some information.
But deep down...
Chen Tao was analyzing himself.
He knows what's going on.
He was afraid.
Fear... always surrounded him.
Even on the eve of defeating the maniacal laughter.
……
……
……
"wrong."
"Time Master suddenly said."
"what?"
Golden Vanguard crawled out from a pile of mechanical parts on the spaceship: "What did you say?"
However, he didn't wait for the Time Master's reply and continued talking to himself:
"I've almost finished repairing this spaceship, and the space jump engine has been installed. I have to say, the technology of the Foolish Owl is quite good. Although the design is a bit old, it can fit everything. There were a few interfaces that didn't match, but I updated the protocol and then remelted it, and it's usable now. It's not much worse than professionally manufactured ones."
Golden Vanguard learns very quickly. Although many operations are guided by AI, he is now able to independently help Time Master with some simple repair work.
"What's wrong?"
Then he noticed the blank expression on the Time Master's face.
So the Golden Vanguard also became serious.
"What exactly happened?"
"The timeline has changed."
Then he heard the Time Master say.
"Oh, so that's normal, isn't it?"
"No, what I mean is, this time a future unlike any we've ever seen before has emerged."
"The first Lantern Man took control of everything. He defeated everyone and took all the energy, then cut the entire Earth Fifteen off the main universe timeline, like cutting a steaming hot strawberry cake off a living person's thigh."
The Time Master said, "I thought I was seeing things. Then he gave this huge piece of strawberry cake, along with his Earth 15, to the World Founder. The rest of history didn't continue. Either the World Founder deliberately blocked it, or it simply didn't happen."
"Wait, what exactly do you mean by 'nothing'?" Golden Vanguard asked.
"The future history has disappeared, and the DC multiverse has become a constantly looping timeline. Like those dead individual universes, it runs from beginning to end, and then immediately returns to the beginning of history as if it has been reset. Only the World Builders can do such a thing."
He took a deep breath. Wait, wait, I'm overthinking things. The important thing is the victory of the first Lantern Man.
So the Time Master concluded: "We have observed a successful future for the first Lantern, but this is impossible. Earth-15 has entered its ultimate eternal death. Nothing, not even restarting the multiverse timeline, can save this history from ultimate death."
"Now?"
"That's the weird thing! Once this future is completely frozen in time, let's forget about Batman: The Dragon Cures Earth-15; we might as well all perish together!"
The Time Master cursed wildly, repeating his curses over and over for a long time. Then he grabbed his hair and rubbed his face like a raccoon.
"So what should we do next?" Golden Vanguard asked. "Should we defeat Genie Evolution?"
"How is this possible?" Master Time said. "The first Lantern has the power of all the Lantern Rings. We must find a way to follow up. Let's go back to the main universe timeline first, and then wait for the right opportunity to act."
"But I haven't fully installed the time-space jump device yet."
"Spatial teleportation within the same timeline should work, right?"
"That works. He's using a different system than the previous one."
"Golden Vanguard said."
"Then there's nothing more to say, let's skip that."
The Time Master said, "Time is of the essence, let's set off immediately! As for the jump machine, you can repair it along the way."
……
……
……
When the Batman Who Laughs saw Batman Dragon and the others, a cold sweat immediately broke out on his body. He was now in his true form, and even though the Void Hand and Tua's protection had granted him the same invincible state as when he was under Barbatos's control, being surrounded by so many people was still an extremely dangerous situation for the Batman Who Laughs!
"Damn you guys..." But it's pointless to say that now.
"The Evil Powerful One," the Laughing Bat suddenly whispered.
"It's difficult for me to help you deal with so many people," said the wicked nobleman. "Our plan has gone horribly wrong, and you must pay for it..."
"Yes, I had considered this scenario before and made contingency plans," said the Bat Who Laughs.
"What contingency plan?"
The Evil Noble was initially very nervous, but after hearing the Batman Who Laughs's plan, he relaxed slightly, even though the Batman Who Laughs and the Void Hand hadn't been cooperating for very long. The Evil Noble still acknowledged the Batman Who Laughs's strategic abilities.
If he said he had planned for this scenario beforehand, then it must have been a well-thought-out plan.
It seems that it was a wise choice for its mastermind, the Void Hand, to appoint the Batman Who Laughs as the mastermind behind the entire plan.
"But my plan needs your help, you wicked and powerful."
The maniac laughed and whispered to the monster with the enormous eyes, "Now, give up stealing time, and don't worry about the time you've already stolen. Now, I want you to completely sever your connection with the timeline, so that you can use the power of the Void Hand's master to connect with me."
"Oh, okay." The Evil Noble didn't find anything wrong with it; he and the Laughing Bat both accepted the power of the Void Hand.
Perhaps the other party is about to do something big, and the current situation is quite clear; there's not much time for idle chatter.
So he did as the laughing bat told him to do without thinking.
The next moment, the Laughing Bat suddenly opened its palm. Before the Evil Noble could react, it was as if it was being pushed by some force, and it fell directly out of the spatial rift and landed in front of the Laughing Bat. Immediately afterwards, the Five-Dimensional Thunder Sprite was flashing with pink lightning and flew towards the opening of the spatial rift with the Laughing Bat.
"Don't even think about letting the maniacal laughter get away."
In an instant, all sorts of magical runes rose up around the laughing bat, causing it to stumble. What a joke! Since Chen Tao had come with Old Man Calamity and the others, he had no intention of letting the laughing bat go.
Despite the time constraints and lack of time to prepare any particularly powerful finishing moves, the current situation is such that even the Batman Who Laughs...
Boo!
The next moment, the Laughing Bat decisively severed its own neck.
Chen Tao unleashed his fifth-dimensional divine power upon him, but not long after, his body instantly melted away like an eel, disappearing from the sight of numerous enemies.
Chen Tao frowned slightly.
He was pretty sure the Laughing Maniac was dead. But for the Laughing Maniac, death was never the end, at best a stepping stone.
Well, with his maniacal laughter gone, his theft operation has come to an end. In short, the most important thing now is…
Chen Tao, the Supreme Little Superman Hero Day, surrounded the unfortunate, evil-minded nobles in front of him.
Malicious Powerful People: ...
