Chapter 1015 I am the number one famous person in DC, for now (Part 2)
In fact, the DC multiverse originally had its own process for dealing with the goddess of magic, Hecate.
The Dark Justice League's job was to resolve the crisis on the magical side, but Chen Tao couldn't find them at all, which made him feel even worse.
It feels like when you're at work and a sudden, urgent task comes up, so you try to find your colleagues to work with you, but when you look around the entire office, you realize you're all alone.
Something like that feeling.
The attack came too fast. Chen Tao's "fast" did not mean that Hecate or the Void Hand was too fast for him to respond, but rather that they had completed the predetermined fact in the hypertime flow before he could.
The Hand of the Void has learned to be smarter.
While Dr. Manhattan and Chen Tao learned his story-making abilities, the Void Hand gradually began to get used to DC.
The environment of the multiverse is like that of an amphibious creature. When it first entered the DC multiverse, it was choked by the unfamiliar environment. However, as long as it stays in the DC multiverse for a while, it will be able to adapt to the environment immediately and quickly master the native power of the DC multiverse. This also means that its plan to devour the DC multiverse has officially begun.
As for the goddess of magic, Hecate, she is a formidable opponent for Chen Tao. To be frank, Chen Tao doesn't really understand magic. All his understanding of magic comes from fifth-dimensional beings—the kind of fifth-dimensional magic that doesn't require incantations; it solves problems and changes reality with a mere thought. But this is more like a wish-granting spell than magic.
He hadn't used the bat mage he used in his early years much. The most disgusting thing about dealing with creatures like Hecate was that this guy was indeed the source of magic in the DC multiverse.
In other words, if you defeat her by brute force alone, it's equivalent to damaging DC's magic. She is the engine of DC's multiverse magic. If you defeat or destroy her, the magic vehicle will simply break down.
Moreover, it's not just that. If it were simply a matter of magic going awry, that might be manageable with some effort. But the more serious problem is that if Hecate wanted to, he could cause most of the magic to go berserk. Chen Tao had just restarted the DC multiverse once. If Hecate were to cause another multiverse-level magical rampage, resulting in heavy casualties among all the creatures in the multiverse, Chen Tao wouldn't be able to restart the timeline again to resurrect them.
Rebooting the multiverse is like performing major surgery on the universe, something DC has done many times before.
While this kind of surgery can allow the DC multiverse to shed its burdens and move forward with a lighter load, it is also a huge burden for the universe.
The DC multiverse cannot withstand two consecutive reboots; Chen Tao must find a solution.
He was trying to reverse the established facts created by the Void Hand and Hecate in the hypertimeline, and he was also curious about where the Dark Justice League of the main universe had gone.
He tried to first explore upstream in the hyper-time stream, and then deduce where they were imprisoned in the present of the hyper-time stream.
If we could solve the problem directly by altering history and disrupt Hecate's preparations, that would be even better.
Even if he couldn't directly alter history, he would try to find the Dark Justice League. These magic experts were crucial immune cells in the DC multiverse's fight against magical crises. Rescuing them from the hyperchronic flow in advance and bringing them to the downstream reality of the hyperchronic flow would allow them to directly escape the persecution of the Void Hand and the goddess of magic, Hecate, and then play an important role in the downstream of the hyperchronic flow.
The upstream of the super-time stream.
Change always comes unexpectedly.
Lady Uldu drew five Major Arcana cards that never existed in her London clubhouse.
The same thing happened in Gotham City. The magical superhero, Etrigan the demon, desperately tried to turn back into human form, but his mouth was sealed shut by the blood gushing from his throat.
As Tian Shi sensed the intricate and taut web of order snap like a piano string, he let out a sinister laugh from his black diamond prison.
Solomon Grandi cried out in alarm. His massive body began to decay, while his simple and foolish mind failed to realize that he had not actually been attacked.
Doctor Naboo, high above, watched with detached indifference. He waited, he foresaw where the dark path he had marked might lead, yet he still felt the scream of magic, and he could not deny that the roar had penetrated deep into his very being.
In the jungle, the swamp monster sensed it too; the scream overwhelmed all his senses. He buried his roots deep into the earth, using the tattered green of all things to utter a call, attempting to awaken the consciousness of the Tree Council.
Not long ago, the forests of these tree councils, the former swamp monsters, would communicate with him through trees and vines, guiding him to the highest realm with ingenious riddles.
As the swamp monster slammed its paws into the ground, countless vines rose from the earth, binding the superhero Black Orchid tightly. Hecate, who had previously possessed her body, now returned it to her.
"Ah, please stop! I didn't do it, it was Hecate, she used me—"
"The physical pain you feel from being entangled by the vines is nothing compared to what you've done, Black Orchid. You have no idea what you've done. Think about the pain of this world, think about the pain of magic. The Green of All Things has been fatally struck. The Council of Trees has perished. Not a single one survived."
The swamp monster was in a somber mood.
"I... I didn't mean it this way, this wasn't my intention!" Black Orchid argued.
"None of this matters anymore, the Green of All Things is dying." The swamp monster's patience was nearing its limit.
But he soon heard the other person's reply.
"Oh no, I haven't said yet. Swamp monster, the green of all things will be transformed, taking on a brand new appearance and merging with the world."
"A brand new and beautiful paradise of flowers will spread from these trees, awakening the world to the power of nature—this is Hecate's will!"
The swamp monster took two steps back. With the destruction of the Tree Council, he now felt that the malice towards him from within the entire Green of All Things had been amplified many times over.
Then he turned to the side, and immediately he saw the flowers that had opened in front of the swamp monster, and inside the flowers were dark eyes.
"For the prosperity of the Hundred Flowers Council—"
The swamp monster could no longer restrain the black orchid. He saw the black orchid fall to the ground, and behind him, black mist emerged from the center of each flower, forming terrifying faces.
At this moment, Chen Tao was standing on the outside of the Hypertime Stream, quietly observing the history shaped by the Void Hand and Papetua at the upstream of the Hypertime Stream.
The swamp monster, which had just been able to suppress the Black Orchid, quickly couldn't hold on any longer, and the Black Orchid was soon regained control by the Mother of Sorcery, Hecate.
Under normal circumstances, this would be the time for the entire Dark Justice League to make its appearance.
Lady Xanadu and Constantine will take the lead, followed closely by Zatanna. The three leaders will soon bring in powerful figures like the vampire Andrew or the Swamp Monster, and then the magical superman Etrigan.
But now there's nothing, not even a single gorilla detective wielding a sword. The only Dark Justice League member to appear in the entire story is a dead man, and he's only on the battlefield because of his relationship with Ramokhunash.
Chen Tao keenly sensed the discord in history, a blank space of unknowns. He suspected that the Void Hand had secretly intervened in things that should have been discovered, thus erasing the normal development of the story.
Chen Tao left this timeline of the hypertime flow once again. The swamp monsters are doomed, whether it's Hecate or the Void Hand.
He couldn't destroy the histories created by the Void Hand without harming the DC Multiverse. These histories were incredibly solid from the moment they were created, thanks not only to the power of the Void Hand's narratives but also to Hecate's immense influence among these magical figures.
First, find Wonder Woman.
After failing to change the history upstream of the super-time stream, Chen Tao decisively changed direction.
Perhaps he has other ideas.
When he broke into the Justice League in the DC multiverse's main universe, he saw that the characters he was familiar with had their memories temporarily erased by the universe reboot and were scattered in various places in the Justice League Watchtower. However, there were all sorts of people in this group, but Diana Prince from the main universe was not among them. Chen Tao was already starting to suspect something.
He glanced quickly at the upstream of the time-travel stream.
In the main universe, Diana and her teammates have a major argument.
Ultimately, she did attempt to participate in the magical events on her own.
This aligns well with Diana's character, and it's also where the Void Hand intends to exploit it.
Chen Tao took a deep breath.
He seemed to know where to find Diana.
In the long night, when humans first stumbled out of the caves, they looked up at the stars, wondering what they were seeing and doing.
The flawless, shimmering silver light offered some answers to the mysteries of the night. But the light itself was also shrouded in mystery.
Unlike her brother, the sun, the moon's radiance is not constant; it is as strong as the ocean waves, sometimes bright and sometimes weak. Humans use its waxing and waning to record time.
Night is a terrifying cacophony, and the moon is a skilled female worker. When mankind first experienced dreams, they realized that they were trekking in the silvery moonlight. People lingered in the unknown aspects of themselves, following the flawless silver light to an incredible realm.
Towards magic.
Wonder Woman opened her eyes and found herself in a silver river. It was a world shimmering with light, filled with beautiful, silvery-white expanses.
"Hera above—" Wonder Woman groaned.
"I don't recommend praying to the Greek gods here; she wouldn't like it," she heard a female voice say.
She suddenly stood up from the water.
"I was wondering how long it would take you to wake up?"
The Wonder Woman from the main universe turned her head.
"Who are you----"
"Nobody."
But Wonder Woman quickly recognized who was standing in front of her.
"Witchfire? I heard you died along with the Sisterhood of Craftsmen."
"I think that's a euphemism for the fact that you burned all those poor, good girls to death." Wu Huo sat on a rock next to him and lit a cigarette with the flames rising from his shoulder.
"No wonder you're a top-tier superhero, while I'm just a third-rate character."
"I do not understand----"
"You should understand that this is where he imprisons us, Diana, or at least the part of our minds that he is unwilling to release. Other characters are still controlled, such as the magical Dorn and the Black Orchid. They are still bound and continue to destroy the pillars of the magical world and reshape everything according to Hecate's imagination."
"Where is this place?"
"The word 'place' isn't used very well. Look up, I think you'll recognize it."
Diana looked up and saw a moon.
"We're in a place called the Moon of Wizardry. Of course, it's not the real moon, not the stone sphere you and your Justice League friends blew up before. This is the source of magical power, the birthplace of arcane arts. Take this as a symbol, a representation of the moon."
"I don't have time for riddles, there must be a way to escape from here," Wonder Woman said.
She turned her head and looked at the dead witchfire.
"My dear, I can't go anywhere, and neither can you." Wu Huo exaggeratedly opened his palms: "Hecate burned me to ashes like firewood, but he put a lot of effort into you, and a mortal body cannot withstand the power he used, not even you."
"You have some demigod blood, don't you? After all the ancient Greek gods in the entire DC multiverse have been dealt with, you're the perfect vessel to hold his power. So he expelled you from his mind. If your subconscious were still conscious, there would be a real possibility of resistance, but you're now in the collective unconscious. Here, you can do almost nothing. You'll burn slower than others, but afterwards you'll die just like everyone else."
The sound started out calmly, but quickly grew faster and faster. Wonder Woman from the main universe began to sense the Witchfire's agitation, so she immediately overturned her previously prepared file.
Wu Huo said, "You will become very weak, little by little, your body cannot withstand Hecate."
As Wu Huo spoke, she saw Wonder Woman slowly bend down. She sighed inwardly, softened her tone, and extinguished the hope that had risen within her at Wonder Woman's arrival. But then, she saw Wonder Woman's body—
Suddenly another face appeared.
The face of Wonder Woman from another parallel universe.
"No, I think Batman Dragon will come looking for me."
