Chapter 827 The Supreme Little Superman Smiles, Spring Blossoms, and the Bat's Little Secret
Have you ever seen someone walking a dog?
When you're teasing your partner, you can't actually let the dog take the bone into its mouth, but you also can't keep withholding it from them.
If a dog's actions are not rewarded for a long time, it will lose all motivation.
This is why Chen Tao had to hand over the hammer to the main universe's Batman. He had to give the other party hope. Superman's pursuit was not easy to evade, and even with the sixth-dimensional armor, it would still be a painful process for anyone.
"You dare?"
After Superman the Younger indirectly controlled Barbatos's physical body through the Cosmic Tuning Fork, he realized how the main universe's Batman would stop him from activating the Descending Curtain.
Without Barbatos, how could he possibly generate a large amount of crisis energy in the main universe? Especially when he was merging the timelines of those three parallel universes back into the main universe's timeline?
Unbeknownst to Superman, a terrifying answer lay within him: himself.
He wants to replace Barbatos in creating endless killing and death in the main universe, and all of this will be completely erased after he restarts the universe, as if it never happened. But Superman the Supreme doesn't want that.
Superman Supreme dislikes intentionally murdering ordinary people, although he has done so many times, especially in the most famous incident: Earth-15.
Superman the Young One destroyed that Earth, which directly caused the first Green Lantern to drift upstream in the timeline, where he accomplished a series of things, including sharing the emotional spectrum, and directly created the Green Lantern Corps.
but in fact……
"Superman" and "Time Trapped" are actually products of two completely separate timelines.
With Earth-15 as the dividing point, the history of Superman began to split into two branches.
One of the forks became the Time Trapped, and was eventually destroyed by the other fork, Superman the Supreme, during the final crisis of the Three Realms Legion.
Simply put, if Superman the Supreme does evil, his future will directly lead to the emergence of the Time Trapped.
But now, the trapped ones have been eliminated by Chen Tao.
In other words, the idea that "the Supreme Superman commits great evil and then becomes a victim of time" is no longer valid.
Therefore, the statement that "Superman the Supreme will not commit great evil" has now become a fact.
If Superman the Supreme decides now to abandon Barbatos and personally create killing and death in the main universe, he will become a Time Trapped One someday in the future.
However, Chen Tao has already erased the future of the Time Trapped, so now the Supreme Little Superman will never personally create killing and death in the main universe, and therefore he will not become a Time Trapped.
In a sense, Chen Tao's elimination of the trapped individuals can be seen as manually removing the darkest and cruelest aspect of the Supreme Little Superman's personality and forcibly preventing this aspect from developing and growing.
This has led to the current dilemma for Superman: he doesn't want to do evil, but he also doesn't want to give up his goals.
Chen Tao knew very well that the Supreme Little Superman had now reached another crossroads.
If he chooses to commit evil and personally slaughters the Justice League of the main universe, then the Time Trapped who was originally erased by Chen Tao will immediately return from history, because Superman Supreme has committed evil and reshaped the Time Trapped's timeline, recalling this vicious demon back from Superman Supreme himself.
However, if the Supreme Superman chooses to give up next, the Time Trapped will no longer be created.
But Superman the Youngster would never give up his wish; his obsession with restarting the world was ingrained in his very being.
As he actually handed the hammer to the main universe's Batman, who, upon receiving the hammer, also grabbed Darkseid Baby beside him, Chen Tao saw the Superman Supreme's expression become increasingly distorted.
Those trapped in time are resurrected. In a timeline unseen by mortals, history unfolds as the Supreme Superman prepares, resurrecting a man long forgotten...
But Chen Tao would never allow this to happen.
You must never become that bad, Superman Supreme. We've all seen just how evil and twisted a truly wicked Superman Supreme can be.
That's an ugliness that even you yourself wouldn't want to face.
then……
Chen Tao lowered his eyes.
When the dark matter universe energy constructed by the world's creator slices through space like the most exquisite chef slicing potato slices as thin as cicada wings, it temporarily isolates the raging Supreme Superman like a mirage.
When the Supreme Superman swung his heavy punch, after a brief delay of a few seconds, amidst a desperate and mournful roar, a hint of the ferocity of a cornered beast was faintly revealed.
When the main universe's Batman wore that resolute, martyr-like expression, when the main universe's Bruce Wayne finally believed he had achieved his ideal, that for justice and the survival of the multiverse, he would find complete peace in a great sacrifice—
Everyone heard a loud bang.
Then the main universe's Batman sees himself in that parallel universe, that weird version of himself known as Batman Dragon, spreading his wings in front of him.
Bruce Wayne, Batman from the main universe, stared wide-eyed. He saw the monster bar its fangs, its face mirroring his own.
It was as if, many years ago at midnight, the bat that terrified him had crashed through the window of the old Wayne Manor and, amidst countless shards of glass, let out a soul-piercing scream!
"It's not over yet."
Batman heard Batman say this:
"You won't have a peaceful life, and you won't be able to leave with everything behind—Batman Bruce Wayne from Earth Zero!"
The main universe's Batman, upon seeing the bat-like dragon, let out a piercing scream: "This won't end here!"
Following his scream was the agonizing scream of baby Darkseid.
His power was remotely drained by the tower built by Lex Luthor!
Luther began his preparations after discovering the problem with Green Lantern. His exceptional scientific talent, combined with the finishing touch of the Anti-Monitor's sixth-dimensional power, allowed the tower to unleash unparalleled power.
Like a gluttonous beast, it used the power left by Darkseid on the two Hales to perform a terrible reverse siphon. In that instant, all of Darkseid's power was completely drained from the infant's body.
We already knew that Darkseid's original body died after the final crisis, which resulted in Darkseid now only having clones and no original body.
Since there is no original body, Darkseid's power can exist in any of his clones, and Darkseid himself does not even have the power to control it.
If he still possessed his original form as before the Final Crisis, even with the help of the Anti-Monitor, he might have been 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 nothing more than a dying infant, and you are not even recovering as quickly as the Anti-Monitor.
Chen Tao knew that Darkseid was still a long way from regaining the strength he possessed in the original comics, when he slaughtered the entire Essence Society during the Infinite Frontier!
"Ah!!! No!!!"
With Darkseid's scream, half of his infant body turned to dust and vanished into the void.
"Why..." Chen Tao couldn't describe the expression on the face of the main universe's Batman. Was it sadness, despair, or anger?
Chen Tao actually felt that the Batman in the main universe 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 tormented by everything and was exhausted both physically and mentally.
He was looking for a crisis that would give him an excuse to die; he was eagerly awaiting an opportunity for self-sacrifice.
But Chen Tao knew that Batman in the main universe couldn't.
because……
Because the Justice League in the main universe is the most important immune cell in the multiverse, because there are still many people waiting for Batman to come home, and there are still many things waiting for Batman to save. This is Batman's promise, and also his curse.
He cannot leave, even if he wants to, but in the end the multiverse will surely pull him back, just like it did before.
because……
He is Batman.
(Note: Here Chen Tao is referring to Batman's death during the Final Crisis. Batman shot Darkseid and was also hit by the Omega Trial, which transported him to ancient times. He was then caressed by Lord Barbatos and turned into a humanoid portal.)
His departure led most characters to believe he was dead, directly causing the Bat-family feud in "The Battle for the Cape." However, in the event of "Bruce Wayne Returns," he ultimately returned.
Chen Tao's gaze wandered, like a dancing butterfly. His gaze landed on the face of the Supreme Little Superman, watching the other's expression shift from despair and anger to incomprehension, confusion, and finally ecstasy.
His face lit up in an instant, and the continuous rain and the impending thunder vanished in a flash.
Chen Tao knew that in the history of the trans-time flow, the time trappers who were about to re-form had disappeared once again.
"Well done, Bat, well done!"
Superman the Younger lunged at the main universe's bat, but to his surprise, Batman the Dragon immediately blocked his way.
"What exactly do you want?"
Superman Supreme and the main universe bats were completely confused.
"My universe's Lex Luthor created a tower that remotely absorbed all the energy of the Darkseid baby next to you, sealing Darkseid inside the Green Lantern Hal from the main universe and the Green Lantern Hal from my universe—two Hals."
Then, the main universe Batman heard Chen Tao say, "I guess you already have the location of Darkseid and that tower that the World Forger shared with you in your mind. If you're fast enough, you might still be able to get there in time."
The main universe's Batman gave Chen Tao a deep look, then tore through space and turned to leave.
He knew that Batman Dragon was definitely plotting something, and he knew that he had fallen into the other party's scheme, but so what? He couldn't possibly refuse Batman Dragon's help.
The other party has grasped what he needs, which is equivalent to grasping his sore spot.
All he could do was get there and, with the help of the World Forgers, completely escape the trap.
There is no other way.
The main universe's Batman is also a master at setting traps, so he couldn't be unaware of this.
Many traps, even if you understand them, are impossible to escape.
The only thing I can do...
That is, one force can overcome ten wisdoms!
Just as Supreme Little Superman was about to follow, he saw Chen Tao blocking his way.
Superman's eyes turned red again, shining like two light bulbs.
"You dare..."
"I really dare," Chen Tao said. "I'll at least stop you for a while, even if it means biting your trouser leg, I won't let you chase after me like this."
Chen Tao spoke with great bravado, but at the same time, he didn't forget to sense the energy left here.
That's right, energy, left behind by the World Forger. Some of it can be manipulated by his fifth-dimensional divine power to create bindings.
The World Builder was afraid that he wouldn't be able to handle Superman Supreme and that Superman Supreme would catch up with the main universe bat too quickly. Chen Tao felt these powers briefly and was almost moved to tears. The World Builder was even afraid that Chen Tao might think there were traps or hidden tricks in these powers, so he modified them into an external "armor" that could be completely manipulated by the energy of the fifth dimension to improve the safety of using these energies and dispel Chen Tao's concerns.
Chen Tao knew very well that this meant the World Forgers were completely out of options and had no choice but to use his power.
"No! What exactly do you want to do, Bat?" Superman the Supreme wanted to rush over, but he quickly realized who came from this method of slicing space into thin potato slices, and who was in charge now.
The dramatic ups and downs of reality, like walking a tightrope, repeatedly tested the emotions of the Supreme Little Superman, causing him to begin to show signs of losing control.
He roared, "Aaaaaaahhhhhh!! You're helping me one minute and helping him the next, damn it, your brain's practically split in two, what's your real purpose...?"
As he spoke, he fired a heat beam at Batman Dragon and the main universe Batman who hadn't yet managed to escape completely. Then, his heat beam was deflected by the space created by the World Forger, and flew straight into the boundless starry sky, destroying some celestial body.
With this delay, the main universe bat rushed into the portal and disappeared completely behind it.
Then he heard the voice of Batman Dragon.
"Oh dear, it's a bit too direct of you to ask me what my purpose is right away, my friend."
When Supreme Little Superman saw Chen Tao turn around, he placed a finger slightly in front of his mouth.
"Shh, this is..."
"It's a secret."
