Chapter 841 Facing Fate, Confusion Under the Pretext of Anger
A certain dark multiverse.
With a thud, Chen Tao threw Hero Ri and himself out of the metallic supernatural space within his body, landing in the woods on the outskirts of this dark multiverse.
Hero Ri stood up from the ground, somewhat bewildered.
"I don't quite understand this..."
Hero Day wanted to ask something; he felt that Batman's current overly angry demeanor... was somewhat, uh, unreasonable?
From what he knew of Batman Dragon, he always seemed so confident and calm, so why would he suddenly become so angry?
"Hey, calm down, Bat, are you alright? I mean..."
"No, it's great. I've never felt this good."
Chen Tao patted Hero Ri on the shoulder and then gave him an instruction.
"Wait for me back in the Dark Multiverse. It won't take long."
He paused.
"We're not in dire straits yet, believe me, I just need some time. We still have this for now."
His tone was somewhat emotional at first, but then it became completely calm, until it returned to its usual stillness.
Nobody knows what Batman Dragon is thinking. He's always like this; nobody knows what he's planning.
But it's very rare for Batman Dragon to have emotions, and Hero Day has known Batman Dragon for so long... which is quite a long time in terms of his life.
This was the first time he had ever seen Batman Dragon like this. How much of that raging anger was real? How much was fake?
Is it a genuine expression of emotion, or a pretentious act of going with the flow?
If he's just putting on an act, who is he trying to impress?
I suddenly felt a little sad on Heroes' Day.
Like Superman, he also found it difficult to console Batman Dragon, who was older and more experienced than him, and whose memories were merely distant, false memories that had been extracted and entered his brain.
"I've always been here," he said.
"Hmm." He saw Batman Dragon nod noncommittally, then said:
"You and Luther reorganize the team, and I'll take you to the Dark Multiverse to assemble the troops. You can also experience what it's like to be a hero during this time."
In my universe, Alfred and Amanda Waller are always busy maintaining order, and they occasionally run out of manpower. The Rogues' fighting strength is sometimes insufficient to solve certain problems, and as far as I know, Bane ultimately takes care of many things.
Heroes' Day has passed.
If you've never experienced something firsthand, and you only have memories that's been instilled in you, then the title of hero on Hero Day will always remain just a name that's been given to you.
For Heroes' Day, Heroes' Day determines who you want to be... and that's important.
Chen Tao watched Hero Ri's figure disappear behind the spatial portal, then he turned around. Hero Ri was gone, and now he could get on with his business.
He gazed intently at the night sky not far away, then stretched out his hand and pointed at the ground.
A bed made of wood immediately appeared in front of him. Driven by the green of all things, the trees creaked and twisted, and finally, they even installed a bed canopy with a fan for him.
Then Chen Tao patted his butt, sat down on the bed, and fell asleep immediately, soon snoring loudly.
A short while later.
The space rippled, and the Anti-Monitor appeared at the location where Hero Day had just been teleported away.
He landed lightly and gracefully on the woodland ground covered with dead leaves and branches, his massive body as light as an ape, without waking Batman Dragon in the slightest.
"How interesting..."
He raised an eyebrow slightly beneath the anti-surveillance mask.
He stood on a withered branch, watching Batman sleeping soundly in bed, like a sleeping beauty waiting for her prince.
The Batman dragon before him, in the eyes of the Counter-Monitor, was as real as could be.
But this proves that Batman Dragon must have escaped his surveillance in some way, and the one in front of him must be a fake.
Batman Dragon's actions must have had some purpose, and he has now temporarily achieved his goal.
The anti-surveillance agent thought silently.
The other party temporarily escaped his gaze. Strange, who was helping him, even managing to hide from the sight of him, a sixth-dimensional god?
The Anti-Monitor now sees Batman Dragon as a pawn in his hands. He had already discovered that Batman Dragon was trying to collude with the Monitor, so he played his cards right and exposed the matter, using the Mandrake fact to destroy the foundation of Batman Dragon's trust in the Monitor.
It was all perfectly planned, but Batman quickly retaliated. He escaped the surveillance of the Anti-Monitor right in front of him, which surprised the Anti-Monitor, Mobius.
"Oh, little monster, little monster."
He muttered to himself.
"Tell me, what kind of scheme are you plotting now?"
He examined the Batman dragon in front of him again and still concluded that it was real.
whispering sound……
Ultimately, the Anti-Monitor did not attack the fake body. Instead, he casually summoned some wood nearby, reshaped its molecular structure, and created a blanket for Batman.
He mockingly draped the blanket over Batman Dragon, the action more like putting a coffin over Batman than covering him with a blanket.
This is a meaningless demonstration; it's like openly telling Batman, "I've been watching you, monitoring you, and I've also discovered that you're trying to escape me."
The message I want to convey is this, nothing more.
To be honest, the threat was ineffective; the counter-surveillance agent just thought he could do it.
Little monster, don't think you can escape my grasp.
Sooner or later you'll obediently return and become my anti-surveillance bat. I can already see that future, heh...
This is the shadow that fate casts on the stone wall.
……
……
……
Boom!
Chen Tao plunged headfirst into a large pile of rocks, his superpowers seemingly vanishing without a trace.
He got up from the ground, and found himself in a bizarre and wonderful world.
He yelled, "Damn Sandman, come out and see me!"
Nothing happens.
He raised his shout: "Open the door! Stop playing dead!!!"
A large number of bouncing circus members wreaked havoc in this world at Chen Tao's shouts, and then...
With a loud bang and Chen Tao's shout again, a Supreme Little Superman suddenly appeared in this strange dream space!
Yes, this is a dream, and it is Chen Tao's dream.
This is why the anti-surveillance agents haven't discovered him yet. Dreams are a realm that even sixth-dimensional gods cannot enter, and Chen Tao himself entered his own dream, which is equivalent to getting into his own pocket.
He tried to summon Superman the Ultimate in his dream, but he had just been beaten up by him in reality and was in a state of psychological trauma from the beating, dreaming about Superman the Ultimate's fists.
And so, a superhuman little superhero with bloodshot eyes appeared in his dream, and then raised his fist.
A large amount of golden light gathered at the top of his fist, then grew brighter and brighter—
Everyone knows that Superman the Primal's punch can kill—
"Enough, stop. You shouldn't be acting like this in my territory."
Chen Tao turned his head and saw the Earth God—no, the god of dreams, the Sandman Daniel Hall—appear behind him.
"What's wrong now? This isn't a friendly gesture," he said. "Don't immediately merge your dream into my kingdom. A dream like this could very well connect to the dream of the real Superman."
Then I'll be able to see a crazed Supreme Xiao Chao running wild in my dream realm. Don't do anything so dangerous.
He had only spoken part of his sentence when he saw Batman Dragon's gloomy face and instinctively felt something was wrong.
"What do you want?" he asked. "Is there some problem with the World Forger's corpse again?"
"No, no," Chen Tao said. "The problem lies with the Monitor. Mandrakrah has corrupted the Monitor's body, you know that?"
"I know, but it's not as serious as you think."
"So you can choose not to tell me, in order to prevent me from actually intending to cooperate with the anti-surveillance forces to the end."
Chen Tao said, "The matter is not over yet, and we have already begun to guard against counter-surveillance agents in advance."
Since the Sleep Demon didn't answer, Chen Tao basically assumed it was a tacit agreement.
He stated his request directly:
"I want to face destiny, the destiny of the Endless Family. Only you, as a member of the Endless Family, have the power to bring destiny before me."
"What? No, fate never reveals itself to mortals easily; it always reveals itself at the right moment."
"Now is the right time."
The Sandman shook his head: "I can't, Bat. Never mind, I need to get you back first, and then..."
But Daniel stopped mid-sentence, realizing that he needed to do something with Batman Dragon that would require far more effort than he had anticipated.
Then he saw black smoke creeping up the face of Batman Dragon in front of him, and wisps of the putrid stench of death emanated from the other man. This was a dream world, but it also reflected Batman's condition in reality.
"How did you...?"
"The World Forger once used his own body as a price to temporarily trap you in a dream, so I realized that you don't seem to be able to manipulate the dreams of the dead too skillfully yet. Therefore, I temporarily dragged my body into the darkness of decay, plunging it into a state of death."
Chen Tao told Sleep Demon, "Now, summon your destiny."
Even so, I can't...
"If you refuse, I will surrender to the World Founders right now!"
"Listen, threatening me won't work, Batman," Sandman said.
"I've already told you I can't. Fate can't be summoned by me; only it can actively call me. You don't understand. Only fate will come to you. Fate doesn't need to be chased; it only needs to be chosen!"
"Even in the internal gatherings of the Endless Family, it is usually Fate, not me or Despair, who brings them together. In ordinary times, we usually stay in our own kingdoms and meet each other only a handful of times."
"None of this matters. Fate will appear before me at this moment, and that is fate itself."
The God of Dreams couldn't understand why the other party was so certain. He felt he couldn't reason with them; they didn't seem to be there to make demands, but rather to argue.
"You can't let..."
But the next moment, the voice of the God of Dreams suddenly stopped.
Because he saw that fate had indeed appeared beside him, just as Batman had requested, just as he had said.
He stood on the edge of the dream, neither sad nor happy, and then gradually became clearer.
He moved slowly, holding the Book of Destiny in his arms, and on the open pages was a picture of him appearing before Batman Dragon and Sandman.
"How is this possible..."
"You're too young, Daniel. If you were a little older, you would know that much of fate is often revealed to mortals through dreams."
Chen Tao said:
"Yes, come, fate, will you conjure a deer in my dream, or create a wolf?"
Wolves and deer are often seen as having good endings and bad endings, respectively.
Chen Tao muttered to himself, lost in a dreamlike state.
Yes, that's right.
Then in the dream, I heard Batman say...
"Fate can indeed only be chosen by people, so I chose this fate, I chose to face it, and to question it."
He told the God of Dreams, "I am not trying to scare you. I really do have a plan to help the World Builders fight back against the Anti-Monitors. But I know this is not my destiny, so in order to make myself the destiny to stop that choice, destiny will surely appear before me."
He turned his head and faced the clear destiny before him.
So, tell me.
"How can I defeat the World Forger?"
Chen Tao asked such a question; he shouldn't have asked it.
In the DC multiverse, asking fate questions is equivalent to seeking divine guidance. When fate turns the pages of the Book of Fate, the act of turning the pages itself is also recorded in the Book of Fate.
If fate does not answer Chen Tao, then Chen Tao's question is meaningless. But if fate answers him, then that answer will be written into the Book of Fate as a prophecy, and in the end, it will achieve a fate cycle like Oedipus killing his father and marrying his mother.
The hero of ancient Greece was prophesied at birth that he would kill his father and marry his mother, so his father abandoned him. But all of this created the conditions for him to commit such evil deeds.
Those who try to peek into fate will be fooled by it, just like that once-vanished Reverse Lightning, just like Chen Tao now.
Chen Tao had long been aware of this.
But he did it anyway...
He was just a little confused.
After going through so much.
So many times after that.
He didn't know if everything he was pursuing still had meaning, or if he was just constantly trying to make everything...
It led to destruction.
