Chapter 827: Superboy Prime smiles, spring comes, and the little secret of the bat

Have you ever seen a dog walking?

When you are teasing the dog, you cannot actually let the dog put the bone into its mouth, but you cannot withhold it from him either.

If a dog's actions do not receive any rewards for a long time, then its spirit will be deflated.

This is why Chen Tao must hand over the hammer to the main universe Batman. He must let the other party see hope. It is not so easy to hide from the pursuit of Superboy-Prime. Even with the sixth-dimensional armor, it will be a painful process for anyone.

"you dare?"

After Superboy-Prime indirectly controlled Barbatos's body through the cosmic tuning fork, he realized what method the main universe Batman used to prevent him from activating the Descent Curtain.

Without Barbatos, how could he create a large amount of crisis energy in the main universe? Especially when he merged the timelines of the three parallel universes back to the main universe timeline?

Little did Superboy-Prime know, he had a horrible answer in his mind, and that was himself.

He will create endless killing and death in the main universe on behalf of Barbatos, and all of this will be completely erased after he restarts the universe, as if it had never happened, but Superboy-Prime does not want this.

Superboy-Prime doesn't like to intentionally murder ordinary people, although he has done so many times, most notably in the most famous incident: Earth-15.

Superboy-Prime destroyed that Earth, and directly caused the First Lantern to drift to the upper reaches of the super time stream, completing a series of things such as sharing the emotional spectrum, and directly creating the Green Lantern Corps.

but in fact……

"Superboy-Prime" and "Time Trapper" are actually the products of two completely different timelines.

With Earth-15 as the dividing point, the history of Superboy-Prime began to split into two branches.

"One fork" became the Time Trapper, and was finally destroyed by "the other fork" Superboy-Prime during the Final Crisis of the Tri-Realm Legion.

Simply put, if Superboy-Prime does evil, his future will directly lead to the emergence of the Time Trapper.

But now, the time trapper has been killed by Chen Tao.

In other words, [Superboy-Prime does great evil and then becomes a Time Trapper] is already an invalid result.

So now, [Superboy-Prime will not do great evil] has become a fact.

If Superboy-Prime decides to abandon Barbatos now and create killing and death in the main universe himself, he will become the Time Trapper one day in the future.

But the future of the Time Trapper has been erased by Chen Tao, so now Superboy-Prime will never personally create killing and death in the main universe, so he will not become a Time Trapper.

To a certain extent, Chen Tao's elimination of the Time Trapper can be said to have manually eliminated the darkest and cruelest side of Superboy-Prime's character, and forcibly prevented this side from growing stronger.

This has caused Superman-Prime to be extremely conflicted. He doesn't want to do evil, but he also doesn't want to give up his goals.

Chen Tao knew very well that Superboy-Prime had come to a crossroads again.

If he chooses to really do evil next and personally massacres the Justice League of the main universe, then the Time Trapper who was originally erased by Chen Tao will immediately return from history, because Superboy-Prime has done complete evil and reshaped the Time Trapper's timeline, recalling this vicious demon from Superboy-Prime himself again.

But if Superboy-Prime chooses to give up next, the Time Trapper will no longer appear.

But there is no way that Superboy-Prime will give up his wish. His obsession with restarting the world is deeply rooted in his bones.

As he really handed the hammer to the main universe Batman, and the main universe Batman grabbed the baby Darkseid beside him while getting the hammer, Chen Tao saw that the expression of Superboy Prime became more and more distorted.

The time-trapped are reviving. In the super-time stream that mortals cannot see, history is developing according to the preparations of Superboy-Prime, resurrecting a person who has long disappeared into the dust...

But Chen Tao would never let this happen.

You can never become that bad, Superboy-Prime. We have all seen how evil and twisted a vicious Superboy-Prime can be.

That is the ugliness that even you don't want to face.

then……

Chen Tao lowered his eyes.

When the dark matter cosmic energy constructed by the World Forger cuts the space like the most exquisite chef, slicing potato chips as thin as cicada wings, it temporarily isolates the furious Prime Superboy like a mirage;

When Superboy-Prime swung his fist, after a delay of just a few seconds, in his desperate and mournful roar, there was a hint of the viciousness of a trapped beast;

When the main universe Batman showed that resolute, martyr-like expression on his face, when the main universe Bruce Wayne finally thought that he was going to fulfill his ideal, and for the sake of justice and the survival of the multiverse, he was completely at peace in a great sacrifice -

Everyone heard a loud bang.

Then the main universe Bat saw his parallel universe self, the weird self called Batman Dragon, spreading his wings in front of him.

Bruce Wayne, the Batman from the main universe, opened his eyes wide. He saw the monster's sharp teeth bared, reflecting him with a face that looked exactly like his.

It was as if, at that midnight many years ago, the bat that frightened him broke through the window of the old house in Wayne Manor, and amidst the countless broken glass, it let out a soul-piercing scream at him!

"It's not over yet."

Batman heard the Bat say:

"Don't even think about leaving everything behind and having peace - Bruce Wayne, Batman from Earth 0!"

The main universe Batman saw the bat-shaped dragon and screamed: "This will not end at this moment!"

And following his scream was the scream of baby Darkseid.

His powers were drained away remotely, by the tower built by Lex Luthor!

Luthor began the preliminary preparations after discovering the problem with Green Lantern. With his extremely smart scientific talent and the finishing touch of the Anti-Monitor's sixth-dimensional power, the tower has exerted unparalleled power.

Like a glutton, it borrowed the power left by Darkseid in the two Hals and performed a terrible reverse siphon. At this moment, all of Darkseid's power was completely drained from the body of the baby.

We have long known that after the Final Crisis, Darkseid's original body died, which resulted in Darkseid now only having a clone but no original body.

Since there is no original body, Darkseid's power can exist in any clone, and Darkseid himself does not even have the power to enforce control.

If he still had his body like before the Final Crisis, even with the help of the Anti-Monitor, he might be able to easily resist Luthor's summons, but times have changed, Darkseid, times have changed.

You are no longer the New God who almost controlled the entire DC multiverse. Now you are just a dying baby, and you can't even recover as fast as the Anti-Monitor.

Chen Tao knew that Darkseid was still a long way from recovering to the strength in the original comics where he slaughtered the entire Essence Society during the Infinite Margin period!

"Oh no!!!"

As Darkseid screamed, half of his baby's body turned to ash and dissipated into the void.

"Why..." Chen Tao couldn't tell the expression on the face of the main universe Batman, was it gloomy or desperate? Or angry?

Chen Tao actually felt that the Batman in the main universe had always had some self-destructive tendencies.

He was disappointed, disappointed that he had lost a reason to die as a matter of course. For a long time, the Batman of the main universe had been tortured by everything and was exhausted both physically and mentally.

He looked forward to a crisis that would give him an excuse to die, and he was eagerly awaiting an opportunity to sacrifice himself.

But Chen Tao knew that the main universe Batman couldn't.

because……

Because the Justice League of the main universe is the most important immune cell in the multiverse, because there are still many people waiting for Batman to return home, and there are still many things waiting for Batman to save. This is Batman’s promise and his curse.

He couldn't leave, even if he wanted to, because the multiverse would eventually pull him back, just like it had done that time before.

because……

He is Batman.

(Note: Chen Tao here refers to the death of Batman during the Final Crisis. Batman shot and killed Darkseid, but was also hit by the Omega Judgment and teleported to ancient times. He was caressed by Lord Barbatos and was made into a human-shaped portal.

His departure caused most characters to mistakenly believe that he was dead, and directly led to the internal conflict of the Bat Family in "Battle for the Cape". But in the end, the events of "The Return of Bruce Wayne" occurred, and he finally came back.)

Chen Tao's eyes wandered like a dancing butterfly, and fell on the face of Superboy-Prime. He watched the other's face change from despair, to anger, to confusion, to bewilderment, and then to ecstasy.

His face suddenly blossomed with the warmth of spring, and the continuous rain and the thunder that was about to break out disappeared in an instant.

Chen Tao knew that in the history of the super-time stream, the time-trapper who was about to reform just now disappeared again.

"Well done, Bat, you did a great job!"

Superboy-Prime lunged towards the Prime Universe Bat, but to his surprise, Batman's Dragon immediately stood in front of him.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

Superboy-Prime and Prime Universe Bat were completely confused.

"The Lex Luthor of my universe created a tower that remotely sucked away all the energy of the Darkseid baby next to you, and sealed Darkseid in the Green Lantern Hal of the main universe and the Green Lantern Hal of my universe, two Hals."

Then the main universe Batman heard Chen Tao say: "I guess you have already got the location of Darkseid and the tower shared by the World Forger in your mind. If you are fast enough, you may still have time to rush over."

The main universe Batman looked at Chen Tao deeply, then he broke through the space and turned around and left.

He knew that Batman Dragon must have a conspiracy, and he also knew that he had fallen into the other party's calculations, but so what? He couldn't refuse Batman Dragon's help.

The other party has grasped what he needs, which is equivalent to grasping his sore spot.

The only thing he could do was to get to the destination and, with the help of the World Forger, completely escape the trap.

There is no other way...

Batman in the main universe is also an expert at setting traps, so he would not be unaware of this.

There are many traps that you cannot escape from even if you understand them clearly.

The only thing I can do is...

It means that one force can defeat ten wisdoms!

Prime Superboy was about to follow closely, but then he saw Chen Tao blocking his way.

Superboy-Prime's eyes turned red again and lit up like two light bulbs.

"you dare……"

"I really dare." Chen Tao said, "I have to stop you for a while at least. Even if I have to bite your trouser legs, I won't let you chase me like this."

Chen Tao spoke in a tough tone, but at the same time he did not forget to feel the energy remaining here with his hands.

That's right, energy, left by the World Forger. Some of it can be activated by his fifth-dimensional divine power to create binding energy.

The World Forger was afraid that he could not deal with Superboy-Prime, and that Superboy-Prime would catch up with the Main Universe Bat too quickly. Chen Tao felt these powers a little, and it made him burst into tears. The World Forger was even afraid that Chen Tao would think that there were some traps or back-up plans in these powers, so he transformed them into external "armor" that could be completely controlled by the fifth dimension energy, in order to improve the safety of using these energies and dispel Chen Tao's concerns.

Chen Tao knew very well that this meant that the World Forger was completely out of options and had no choice but to use his power.

"No! What on earth do you want to do, Batman?" Superboy-Prime wanted to rush in directly, but he soon realized who this method of cutting space into thin potato slices layer by layer came from and who was in charge now.

The ups and downs of reality have repeatedly made Superman-Prime go through his emotions over and over again like walking on a tightrope, and he is already somewhat out of control.

He roared, “Ahhhhhhhhhh!! One moment you’re helping me, the next moment you’re helping him. Damn it, your brain is like it’s split in two. Your real purpose…”

As he said this, he shot a beam of thermal vision at Batman Dragon and the main universe Batman who had not yet had time to escape completely. Then his thermal vision was deflected by the space cut out by Chen Tao using the World Forger, and flew straight into the boundless starry sky, and then destroyed an unknown planet.

Due to this delay, the main universe bat rushed into the portal and completely disappeared behind it.

Then he heard the voice of Batman's Dragon.

"Alas, it is too direct to ask me what my purpose is, my good friend."

Superboy-Prime saw Chen Tao turn around and put a finger slightly in front of his mouth.

"Hush, this is..."

"It's a secret."
