Chapter 678 Barbatos: Damn it, why is everything melting into the world?
Chapter 678 Barbatos: Damn it, why are they all coming to the melting pot of the world?
When Chen Tao awoke from his dreamlike slumber, he sat up straight on the edge of the bed, remaining silent.
From his perspective, in the fifth-dimensional world, the bat mite appeared with a bang in a puff of smoke at his bedside.
This time, he didn't shout or rush over to shower him with compliments. Instead, he spoke quietly and cautiously:
"What do you think... about the message brought by Daniel, the God of Dreams...?"
Bat mites can create a whole bunch of random enemies for Batman to fight, making him laugh out loud, but only a higher level of power can make him so serious that he can't even laugh.
"I must tell you, I'm not sure," he said. "I ran away in fright the moment I sensed someone intruding, and maybe these things are mine—"
"You went to the main universe, and you met Batman." Chen Tao communicated with him silently.
"The world-builders, the anti-monitors, the monitors—there are only so many people capable of giving you this feeling."
His gaze was deep and unfathomable: "He didn't come into my dream from outside of it; he was already in my dream before."
In fact, the reason why the Dream God could appear directly from Chen Tao's dream was because Chen Tao's Dark Multiverse Dragon status was directly subordinate to the World Builder. Therefore, the Dream God simply broadened the definition of the World Builder's dream. However, neither Chen Tao nor the terrified Bat Mite knew the connection between these two things.
When it's pitch black, you never know whether the road ahead is smooth or a tightrope.
Chen Tao sensed something unusual from the details. Even the slight difference between the Dream God's abilities and the Dream God's ability—that it didn't enter from the outside but was already in the dream before it started—made him wary.
Meanwhile, the bat mite still hadn't figured out what Batman was thinking.
He regained a little of his composure from his initial shock, and immediately reverted to his usual wildly imaginative self, saying:
"Ribbit, the great Batman Supreme, so you're telling the truth? You're going to storm into the Forge of Worlds, fuck Barbatos to death in one go, then tie him up like a mummy and beat him to a pulp..."
But before the bat mite could finish speaking, its eyes rolled back, and it fell straight down from mid-air, completely losing consciousness.
Chen Tao grabbed the bat mite he had just knocked unconscious. Strictly speaking, he was using the bat mite's power to keep it in a state of [dizziness]. He was becoming more and more proficient in using the bat mite's power, but at the same time, he was also increasingly able to feel the call of the fifth dimension to him.
These powers, which do not belong to him, are constantly transforming his biological essence into that of a fifth-dimensional being. If Chen Tao does not want to live in the fifth-dimensional world from now on, only able to come to the main universe once every three months, he will never want to possess these energies for a long time.
But not now, not for the time being, as that's not important for what he's doing right now.
He expertly swallowed the unconscious bat mite into his mouth.
What happens next should only be known to him.
He had anticipated William Hand's failure, but he never expected it to happen so quickly.
In the dream, he told the god of dreams a montage lie, which is to deliberately distort the facts and cause misunderstanding.
In fact, even if the God of Dreams had no suspicions, Chen Tao was determined to keep it a secret from him as well.
He kept all his emotions hidden deep inside, and even when the god of dreams told him about Williams, he only showed the outer shell of his emotions.
With a creak, the hospital room door opened, and Chen Tao saw his Diana walk in first.
"When you were in the lobby, you suddenly fell asleep halfway through your sentence, and we were all very..."
As Chen Tao listened to Diana's words, he quietly watched as everyone walked in from the back of the ward.
Lex Luthor was the last to enter, his bald head radiating seriousness.
"You have……"
But before he could finish speaking, Chen Tao used his fifth-dimensional divine power to force him to shut up. Chen Tao knew he wanted to say, "You're hiding something from us," but he wouldn't give Luther the chance to say it.
Regardless of whether any sixth-dimensional deity is secretly involved behind the scenes in the God of Dreams, sometimes...
If we want to dispel the darkness, we must walk alone in the abyss.

"Entering the world's melting pot?"
In a chaotic space, the World Founder frowned his blue brows.
He was a little confused about what Batman was trying to do; there were just too many things that didn't make sense.
The Hypertime Flow is retaliating, and the World Forger knows it. He also knows very well that weakening the Hypertime Flow cannot be rushed.
Superheroes only need to rush to save the world when they see a crisis, but the World Builder has much more to consider.
The Emperor Joker's power had become too inflated, and he couldn't control what his opponent wanted to do.
His brother, the Anti-Monitor, also played his part in this event. The Anti-Monitor Dragon he controlled had broken free from Barbatos's control, which was something the Forger would never have wanted. He would have preferred that the dragon he created keep his brother occupied.
He stopped the Justice League's emergency self-rescue through the main universe from the source. He is now like forcibly choking a patient's heart with brute force, stopping the heart from beating, but it doesn't mean that he wants to smother the patient to death.
Without the heart's blood supply, many cells in the brain and other internal organs will not receive a supply of fresh blood, and many cells will inevitably die, which will make the patient even weaker.
The World Founder is carefully creating a systemic organ failure under his control, and Batman's Dragon will be the cell that dies from lack of blood supply due to the heart stopping working.
The Justice League of the main universe is the heart of the universe, and it's not time to touch them yet. But he can eliminate as many characters as possible, like Batman Dragon, who have the ability to protect the Time Stream outside of the main universe's Justice League, including Parallax Morhal, one after another.
The World Founder recalled every word he had spoken to the God of Dreams in Batman Dragon's dream.
He was deep in thought.
Batman Dragon holds a quarter of the Dark Multiverse Dragon's position, and his dreams are connected to the World Makers. Within the realm of dreams, the Dream God can traverse freely; this is his authority, and even the World Makers cannot stop him.
This is indeed the only loophole in the World Builder's plan to trap the other party using his own dream, but this loophole did not arise out of thin air. Rather, it was a coincidence created by the circumstance of fate, a destiny-like coincidence created by the trans-time flow in order to save itself.
However, the World Forger is not necessarily going to stop the other party. He can monitor everything the Dream God does, especially his conversation with Batman Dragon.
Now the Sandman has been locked back in his dream world, and the World Maker also knows the next move of Batman Dragon.
Well, although we don't know exactly what the other party will do, the World Builder already knows what they're going to do. In the dream, the power of the sixth-dimensional god extends through the actions of the Dream God. Although it cannot read what the Batman Dragon is thinking, it can still do a simple test to see if someone is lying.
Batman was telling the truth; he really intended to go to the World Forge. The World Forger would never make a mistake on such a low-level decision.
On the battlefield, the Black Death Emperor had already told everyone that he had banished William Hand's influence. Then, immediately afterward, the World Forger, controlling Brainiac, spoke directly: "Batman's Dragon is about to enter the World Forge. My latest intelligence is..."
"Are you sure?" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone behind him question, "Batman Dragon really going to the Forge of Worlds like you said? Does he think Barbatos will ally with him instead of swallowing him whole?"
The World Forger's will, possessing Brainiac's body, turned around and, sure enough, saw the Anti-Monitor Dragon, controlled by his younger brother, the Anti-Monitor, who was acting as a dog for his own dog.
This tongue-twisting relationship transforms the bond between the World Builders and the Anti-Monitors from a simple brotherhood into a far more complex one:
My master's master is not my master, but my brother.
The World Founder remained silent, but Brainiac answered him himself: "I am monitoring Batman Dragon's dreams; I am obtaining information about him by monitoring Batman's mind."
He turned his head: "I can be 100% sure."
He said, "We must catch him outside the Forge before Batman does, and we must not let him see Barbatos. We must also avoid confronting Barbatos inside the Forge."
He said, "I have a plan to capture Batman Dragon, as long as you follow my orders."
He said that, but his eyes were fixed on the Emperor Joker.
Although the Emperor Joker doesn't say it, in fact, he is the one who leads this team.
As a madman who wanted nothing but to fight Batman to the bitter end, he skillfully bridged the interests of all parties, becoming the nominal master of the alliance. Brainiac, however, overstepped his bounds, issuing orders on his behalf: if the Emperor and the Joker disagreed, then…
To Brainiac's surprise, the Emperor Joker scratched his chin and nodded: "Okay."
He was deeply affectionate and serious, completely unlike his original coldness and violence.
He said, "Let's go."
Brainiac looked at the other man, unsure whether he was simply being arrogant or genuinely believed him.
Although Brainiac knew he was telling the truth, or at least the truth as he knew it, he was still a little surprised that the Emperor Joker had suddenly become so agreeable.
This is completely giving up control... What is the Joker doing that he's hiding from all of them? Brainiac had this suspicion, but he had no evidence.
"Come on, why aren't you leaving yet?" But just as he thought this, he saw the clown give him a sinister grin: "I can't wait to get to the party!"
Maybe the clown has just gone mad. A madman wouldn't care about things like control, right?
……
……
……
Within the melting pot of the world, Barbatos let out a long sigh of relief.
He was exhausted. In short, the fighting outside was no longer his concern, and he was finally able to sit down and rest.
So Barbatos curled up and sat on the corpse of the World Forger. He opened his mouth wide and took two more bites of the corpse. He felt that the taste was a little strange, but Barbatos did not think much of it.
He kept cursing in his heart, but as he cursed, he suddenly felt a vibration coming from the edge of the world furnace.
"Good, good, good, who's come to the Forge of the World this time?" Barbatos was not angry but pleased. This was the Forge of the World, his fortress. Unless all the enemies who had besieged him before came here in droves to use his fortress as a battlefield, he was not afraid of anyone fighting him one-on-one in the Forge of the World, not even Hal. Last time, Hal and Superman Supreme were too strong when they teamed up; he couldn't hold them back and they escaped. But this time it wouldn't be like that. He walked to the edge of the Forge and immediately saw the Emperor Joker and his army appear outside.
Barbatos: "..."
He now wants to retract what he just said.
What grudge could they possibly have that warrants a chase all the way here?
I've already run away, why won't you let me go?
He also saw the Anti-Monitor Dragon among the enemies. He and the Anti-Monitor Dragon had fought side by side in the Forge of the World to drive out Hal and Superman Supreme. Now the two of them were still in the Forge of the World, but their relationship had been reversed.
Meanwhile, the Emperor Clown and his group were completely unaware that Barbatos had already discovered their whereabouts.
"We must be careful going in and not be discovered by Barbatos," Brainiac said. "We'll leave immediately after we capture Batman Dragon; now is not the time to fight Barbatos in the Forge of Worlds."
"Remember, we're here to capture players, not to compete against Barbatos on the road."
He said, "And Batman will definitely come here. We just need to wait and see..."
But at the crucial moment, the Emperor Joker suddenly realized the secret behind it.
"No, we can't go in."
He suddenly spoke up: "I've been waiting, but Batman hasn't shown up."
He looked at everyone around him.
"A circus performance ended before it even started, but that's impossible. What does that mean? Hehe... it means the performers weren't there."
"Someone must want us to come here, I suddenly realized..."
The next moment, the Black Death Emperor suddenly began to swell.
