Chapter 888: Finally fooled...
In short, the anti-surveillance agents have made up their minds. People often make wrong choices because of greed.
When facing a small monster like Batman Dragon, if you follow his lead, you'll definitely be led astray. In some ways, the Anti-Monitor's current thinking is exactly the same as Chen Tao's when he faced the Batman Who Laughs.
"You've tried your best," the Anti-Monitor said, "but give up. It's all over. If you're willing to stand on my side, I can preserve your monoverse and hide it within me."
He set his price, even though he knew Batman Dragon wouldn't accept it and would continue to try to prevent the destruction of the multiverse, but it didn't matter anymore.
"No."
Sure enough, he heard Batman Dragon say that.
"Then why are you wasting your time here with me?"
The Anti-Monitor was already on guard when he said this, knowing that Batman Dragon was probably desperate and would launch a direct attack on him.
His condition wasn't actually that good, and Batman's Dragon's desperate, last-ditch attack was bound to be earth-shattering.
Batman Dragon remained silent, as did the Anti-Monitor. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Batman Dragon would soon be forced to choose between forcing the Anti-Monitor to merge with him. How strange, the situation was now reversed from the past.
But just then, space was torn open. The Anti-Monitor's vigilance was at its highest, but he discovered that what had fallen to the ground were only the first Genie and the main universe's Superman. Wait, this main universe Superman is so badly damaged; his body is almost completely hollowed out.
But what exactly is Batman Dragon trying to say by putting this guy in front of him?
"I do not intend to be your enemy, Lord Antimonitor, but have you not considered that the World Forger dares to play this race with you because he is certain that he can cultivate a new multiverse faster than you can devour the multiverse we are in now?"
The Anti-Monitor heard Batman Dragon say, "I tried to stop you from playing this race, to stop you from dividing up the entire multiverse. But I now realize it was inevitable, and I couldn't stop it."
The counter-surveillance man stared at the other man's face. His words were devoid of emotion when he said he couldn't stop it.
He said, "But that doesn't mean I can't do anything. I've reflected on my previous failures and come up with a new plan that allows me to continue in the current environment."
"...I had far too few trump cards to use against Superman Supreme...He almost single-handedly turned the tide of the entire battle. If I hadn't completely eliminated that monkey's influence beforehand..."
"...And what about my helpers? I have far too few. I should consciously cultivate more external timelines instead of just relying on what's readily available..."
"...As things stand, the World Forger has established his own Infant Multiverse Core, a brand new Superman created by draining the essence of the main universe's Superman. This information was given to me by the Monitor..."
"...He's truly amazing. Even though he borrowed a part of our main universe's Superman, he created his own core, making him infinitely close to a true multiverse creator...but that doesn't mean the current World Forger has no weaknesses..."
The Anti-Monitor heard Batman Dragon standing there, beginning to dissect himself point by point, and then listing the ways he might harm the World Maker.
Are you kidding me? None of your methods can change the outcome.
Besides disgusting the world's forgers, what else can it achieve?
What are you doing? Holding a self-criticism meeting? You're going to be sentenced to death tomorrow, what's the point of talking about this?
Why not give up? Why won't you stop?
The first Lantern Man stood there, stunned.
He listened as Batman talked about how even if the plan were executed and succeeded, it would be impossible to stop the World Forgers or change the outcome of the universe's destruction, and then he suddenly went mad.
"No, I absolutely cannot accept this!"
He screamed, trying to break through the time-traveling history again, but he was too weak and too old. He couldn't break through immediately, then he regained a sliver of his sanity:
"Don't include me in your plans anymore. It's all over. Batman Dragon, my Earth 15 is gone forever. The only way now is not to provoke the World Makers."
He said, "Instead, we surrender to him. The perfect world created by the World Maker needs enough people, and I am one of them. As long as the Anti-Monitor fails, the World Maker wins, and the entire DC multiverse isn't completely destroyed but merged into his baby multiverse, then my Earth and my family still have a chance to be resurrected. Yes, that's right..."
As he spoke, his thoughts became muddled again. Under such immense pressure, he foolishly blurted out to the Anti-Monitor, "I want to pledge allegiance to the World Forgers." He even attempted to break through space to escape, but was immediately imprisoned by the Anti-Monitor.
Then the Anti-Monitor heard Batman Dragon say, "Didn't you just ask me why I brought Genie I to you?"
He shrugged. "I knew he'd try to rebel again, so I'm just asking you to keep him under control for a bit."
He paused, then added, "While I could imprison him myself, your help would save me some effort and increase my chances of winning against the World Forger."
Anti-surveillance: ...
God's odds are much higher. What's the point of saving that little bit of effort? Will it increase your chances of winning in the World Forgers by even the slightest bit?
"No matter what, we're still on the same side. You might want me to cause more trouble for the World Founders, but I can't accept either of you winning."
The Anti-Monitor heard Batman Dragon say, "So, if there's no cost, you'd still be willing to support me in causing trouble for the World Makers, wouldn't you?"
The counter-surveillance man remained silent, tacitly acquiescing to everything.
"Very good. So, next," he heard Batman Dragon say, "After failing to obtain the power of the Anti-Monitor Bat from you, I will still bring the Superman from the main universe into the infant multiverse of the Worldmaker... I will use the Superman from the main universe to try to reclaim the essence that is the core of the multiverse from the Superman of that infant multiverse."
He looked at the Anti-Monitor: "And you, you can send us into that baby multiverse, right?"
Batman: Dragon didn't explain how he used the Superman from the main universe to reclaim the core essence of the multiverse, and the Anti-Monitor wouldn't ask. It must be some kind of backup plan, and they wouldn't reveal it even if asked. But frankly, their plan seems quite feasible... Even if it fails, causing some trouble for the World Forgers wouldn't be bad. In any case, for the Anti-Monitor, it's risk-free and advantageous.
The Antimonitor nodded; he had already agreed to help Batman Dragon enter the Baby Multiverse, but at that moment, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
He hadn't intended for Batman Dragon to possess the Anti-Monitor Bat, but if... he meant if he could forge the new Superman, the new core of the multiverse created by the World Forger, into his own Anti-Monitor Bat...
Would that allow us to seize the power of the world's forgers?
When this idea came to mind, the anti-surveillance agents immediately began to consider the possibilities.
And once you start thinking...
A decision must be made.
……
……
……
Everything seemed to be over.
When Hero Day was completely stripped of the corpse he had manipulated and then held in the palm of the World Maker, all he faced were the indifferent eyes of his own creator.
"What do I mean to you?"
His face, which was almost melting, uttered this question to his creator in fits and starts.
"In the end, we didn't accomplish anything... Ah, what a pity."
The World Maker remained silent, expressionlessly putting the object away as if it were a toy.
The parallax demon within him is still rebelling, but it doesn't matter anymore.
He has retrieved his body and absorbed enough power.
He turned his head and saw that Batman Dragon had already escaped, and Superman Supreme was flying towards him, carrying Darkseid who looked like a dead dog.
"What about the other two?"
"They got away," said Superman.
This wasn't him slacking off. Martha Wayne's core strength was her five-dimensional divine power, and she was the fastest runner. Superman the Primal was able to catch the troublemaker by setting a trap.
As for the Black Death Emperor... this guy doesn't have any concept of death, so even if Superman the Supreme destroys his avatar, it won't help.
The World Forger understood as well. He nodded and then reached out to take Darkseid. Darkseid, the four-dimensional evil god, was a very useful tool. As long as he was stuffed into his own baby multiverse, Darkseid could be used to fill in history and become useful evidence that "past villains have been completely defeated" in a perfect timeline, thus stabilizing the timeline.
Although this is equivalent to pouring Darkseid into concrete bridge piers... what human rights do four-dimensional evil gods have?
"you……"
The world's forgers heard Darkseid groan.
What is this guy going to say now?
So he listened out of curiosity.
"You will definitely be defeated by Batman Dragon... just like me."
The world's forgers remained silent, not even deigning to make a sound.
Darkseid then vanished from his palm.
"What do I need?"
The Supreme Superman reached out his hand to the World Builder.
Then he obtained the Hero Day, which had already turned into a black-light zombie.
Faced with the Death Gaze of Superman Supreme, the World Maker explained that it was Superman Supreme's own doing, and Superman Supreme had no intention of turning against him over it. So, after the World Maker helped preserve Heroes' Day again, the two of them reached an agreement.
"The multiverse fusion is complete, and Superman from the main universe has returned to the DC multiverse through the multiverse fusion. The historical loop of the New Fifty-Two era is also complete, but we have plundered all the energy... All this is good."
The World Forger said, "Now, it's time to channel all this energy into our new universe, and that brand-new cosmic core..."
The world's foundries breathed a sigh of relief.
After planning for so long and such a long journey, he finally achieved his goal. Just like building a car, the engine, body, and tires were all ready; now all that was needed was to add gasoline.
Then... his car was finally about to start moving.
……
……
……
thump.
A low, muffled sound.
It felt like something was hitting a cowhide drum, but you quickly realized...
It's just the sound of a heartbeat.
When the first heartbeat sounded within the corpse-like Mandrak, he opened his red eyes. A red light, like a searchlight, shot out from his eyes, falling upon him and illuminating his body, which was almost identical to that of the Watcher.
It is the most powerful Mandrakrond in the current multiverse, directly derived from the Watcher himself.
The monitor was eager to get rid of himself immediately, and he paid a great price to finally complete this important task without any hidden dangers.
Did he not know that Mandrolak's escape was like letting a tiger return to the mountains? Did he not know that Mandrolak would inevitably unleash even greater chaos in the multiverse? He knew, but he had no choice. Only a complete Watcher could resolve the current difficulties facing the multiverse.
"He underestimated Mandrak's power and overestimated himself."
Mandrake lowered his head and saw the Batman Who Laughs appear before him. Behind the dark metal goggles was dark red skin exactly like Mandrake's, a red that was somewhat eerie and dazzling.
He made an extremely exaggerated bow, like a clown on stage.
"Oh, my lord, dear Lord Mandrak. I have brought you a new ally."
What appeared behind him was a monster that looked like a one-eyed little devil.
"It is my honor to introduce you to Lord Void Hand's subordinate: Evil Power."
Mandrak remained silent, then he heard the malevolent nobles speak:
"Come one, close the page now, or you will witness... the death of Batman!"
Mandrak blinked.
He turned to look at the laughing bat.
"Please don't mind it," the Laughing Bat said with a smile.
"You may not understand, but this is a direct manifestation of the power of the Void Hand in our universe."
He said, "This is an invasion of one story by another, a violation of the rules."
He said, "I assure you, whether it's you or me..."
Everyone will benefit from this new story, hahahahaha!!!
