Chapter 690, "The Bat of Mad Laughter," is here again!
Chapter 690 I, the Laughing Bat, am back!
I am the Bat of Laughter.
Just when you think the Batman Who Laughs is about to leave, he doesn't, which is actually part of a plan.
Yes, all my actions were because I planned to do them, not because I was forced to do them due to failure.
Those seemingly failed, seemingly suppressed, seemingly utterly defeated events were all part of my plan, merely a component of my ultimate plan.
At this moment, right now.
When he sensed that Barbatos and Batman Dragon's energy had completely vanished from the World Forge, the Batman Who Laughs straightened up in his cage and stood up leisurely.
He reached out and gently touched the cage. Immediately, the cages, made of Barbatos' dark matter cosmic energy, dissolved like plastic falling into sulfuric acid under the corrosive force of some opposing force.
This is illogical. Barbatos stripped the Batman Who Laughs of all control over the dark matter cosmic energy, to the point that the Batman Who Laughs needed to control the Dawn Lantern to break free of his cage.
But he concealed some ability, didn't he? He concealed some power he possessed, which he didn't tell Barbatos. For this moment, for this very instant—this is the energy of a positive matter universe, and the only one who possesses this energy is a person whose true form has long since vanished into the annals of history:
The sixth-dimensional deity, the watcher.
"Remember our agreement, Bat of Laughter."
The laughing bat heard the sound in its ear.
"I know, I know... Great sir, generally speaking, you would never associate with a villain like me."
"If you don't resort to tricks," the Batman Who Laughs heard the Monitor say. "Listen, I don't care at all about what's going on between you, Barbatos, and Batman Supreme."
He said, "The history downstream of the timeline has its own direction of evolution. Whatever you do is the result of fate and the natural selection of history, and I will not interfere. But the anti-monitor can never escape the eternal cage that I have created for him, the infinite Earth crisis."
"You're right about one thing. I generally don't associate with villains like you, but from a macro perspective, villains like you are also a kind of 'vaccine' for forging the superheroes of the main universe."
The laughing bat suppressed his nausea.
This damned feeling of superiority, and this ridiculous "conclusion"—the Monitor doesn't understand the true nature of the Batman Who Laughs, and one day he will pay for it, but not now, not at this moment.
"So now, go and stop the Anti-Monitor Dragon, which is being manipulated by the Anti-Monitor. Whatever he wants to do, only you can stop him... The Bat Who Laughs. You must maintain the security of the entire Hypertime Stream."
When the monitor's voice disappeared from the Laughing Bat's ears, the Laughing Bat stood in front of the ruined cage for a moment, then began to laugh nervously in a low voice.
"Interesting, really interesting. After so many things, so much. And now I'm a righteous superhero again?"
He chuckled and said, "It really brings back memories."
With a low laugh, a clown dragon swayed and flew towards the Laughing Bat from a distance within the World Forge, then obediently landed in the scalding lava, allowing the Laughing Bat to step on its back.
"I, the Bat of Laughter, am back!"
In any case, it's Batman Laugh's turn now.
The Batman Who Laughs chuckled. He was now a hero of justice once again, regardless of his evil motives. At least what he was about to do was something that even Batman Dragon couldn't stop.
He was now actually starting to look forward to a scenario where the other person's face looked disgusting, like they had eaten shit, but they had no choice but to cooperate with him. Thinking of this, the Laughing Bat couldn't help but let out a series of low laughs.
The clown dragon beneath him howled, echoing his wicked laughter.
This beast, now controlled by the Bat of Laughter, completely disregarded the sizzling sound of its lower body being roasted by the lava. It stubbornly dragged its injured body, carrying the Bat of Laughter, towards the upper level of the World Forge.
And naturally, the Dark Knights that Barbatos left in the World Forge came to intercept the Bat who laughed at this moment.
Apart from the poor killing machine forgotten by Barbatos, who is still missing and has not been recalled by Barbatos because he tried to persuade the Emperor Joker, all the current members of the Dark Knights are here.
The first one to appear in front of the Batman Who Laughs was Red Death. He is always the fastest. He was also the first one to stand in front of Batman Dragon when Batman Dragon invaded the Forge.
"Oh, what a pity, I'm afraid you've forgotten who your king is, Bruce."
You see, there's an almost formulaic solution for dealing with these Dark Multiverse Batmen whose abilities are almost identical to those of the Justice League.
This was all part of the Batman Who Laughs's plan. He had long considered how to deal with these colleagues. Oh, and of course, he didn't intend to kill the Red Death, nor could he do so while Barbatos was alive.
He must ensure the enemy's fighting capacity in order to drive them to carry out his next plan.
So...
"Let's have a race, Red Death," said the Batman Who Laughs. "How about something a little less harmful?"
The next second, the Laughing Bat was punched in the face, and he covered his face in confusion.
The Red Death Demon was enraged when he heard the word "race".
What a coincidence! Batman Dragon tricked him in the same way last time. Although the Batman Who Laughs and Batman Dragon had never communicated, their methods for dealing with the Red Death were almost identical. During the race last time, halfway through, Batman suddenly used his fifth-dimensional powers to create bubbles and bind the Red Death tightly. When the Red Death lay on the ground, he felt like a complete idiot.
The problem is that one trick won't work twice. The Red Death is also Bruce Wayne, also Batman, and no method can work on Batman a second time.
Red Death cleaved the Batman Laugh's chest in two with a single chop, but this was also part of the Batman Laugh's plan. Taking advantage of Red Death's momentary lapse in concentration, a burst of infrasound interference erupted from his belt, followed by a large cloud of pink powder that enveloped Red Death.
The Bat of Laughter gasped for breath, then abruptly took two steps back, clutching his open chest. Even now, he couldn't resist showing off that everything was part of his plan:
"These bubbles are made of magnesium carbide powder, the most absorbent material in most of the universe, containing countless tiny pores. Each gram of this material can cover a plane of about 800 meters."
Ultimately, the more you struggle, the more kinetic energy it absorbs from your body. These bubbles contain concussion bombs that vibrate your body at a specific frequency, preventing you from etherealizing, Bruce.
The Batman Who Laughs tended to his open wounds, frowning, still somewhat bewildered as to why his plan had failed. Normally, the Red Death should have been completely unable to refuse a race.
But he continued with his planned actions, walking up to the Red Death Demon lying convulsing on the ground: "If I were you, I would listen to me quietly. I'll only advise you this once, and then..."
But the laughing bat didn't get to say another word.
In an instant, he was choked and slammed against the rock wall.
He was utterly astonished. He had seriously underestimated the Red Death, realizing that although he had been talking to the Red Death, his mind had been preoccupied with Batman: Dragon and the Monitor. He had never imagined that the Red Death, whom he thought he could easily defeat, would launch a counterattack!
"That's all stuff Batman Dragon already did! I changed the frequency of my body's vibrations a long time ago!"
Caught off guard, the Batman Who Laughs was once again knocked to the ground by the Crimson Death Demon. His body, wrapped in foam, was weak, and the Crimson Death Demon, straddling the Batman Who Laughs, slapped him across the face from both sides: "Laugh, keep laughing! I'm the last thing you'll see before you die..."
Immediately afterwards, Red Death was struck down by lightning created by the five-dimensional sprite controlled by the Laughing Bat. The Laughing Bat got up with a sour face and carried Red Death on the back of the Clown Dragon.
He picked up the goggles that had been knocked off by the Red Death Demon from the surrounding area; his face was already swollen high from the blows.
The dark matter cosmic energy could repair the damage to his body, so he had to apply the large head to his chest, which had just been cut open by the Red Death, instead of his face.
The Laughing Bat took a deep breath.
Damn Batman: Dragon, I was the one who came up with these methods first!
The next one is the drowned soul.
The Bat of Laughter also found a solution.
The connection between the vengeful spirit of the rebel king and those stagnant water creatures allows them to communicate with each other, and this is her greatest, unavoidable flaw.
By manipulating these stagnant creatures, the Laughing Bat can project their emotions onto the souls of the drowned.
As expected, under the manipulation of the Laughing Bat, the dead water creatures released by the drowned souls began to laugh wildly while forcibly rewarding themselves.
As the drowned spirits also began to uncontrollably reward themselves, the Laughing Bat finally regained some confidence.
As he approached the drowned, vengeful spirit who was still rewarding himself, he was grabbed by the neck once again.
"Die, you damned laugh!"
"Do you think I'll fall for that a second time?"
boom!
……
……
……
Emperor Joker connected all life on Earth 1 to the Spirit of Existence in Parallax Mohal's chest. If Chen Tao wants to break this forced choice between two options, he needs to replace the Spirit of Existence with something else, as the master switch for all life in this universe.
But regardless of how the other party did it, when Chen Tao used the Crimson of All Beings to replace the Spirit of Existence, for a fleeting moment, he had to simultaneously provide life force to all life forms on Earth 1.
Chen Tao certainly couldn't provide this life force himself, so he had to simultaneously hold onto the Spirit of Existence to ensure the safe and error-free transfer of this life force.
Now the question is, can Chen Tao take Parallax Mohal and the other two directly away from the moon?
The answer is no. Chen Tao saw that the white light chains of the spirit of existence also bound them to the moon.
Barbatos also entered this universe, but because of his enormous size, his entry into the universe was much slower than Chen Tao's.
"My friend, my brother, what's going on now?"
Barbatos came in and asked that question. When Chen Tao heard his nauseating address, he felt the hairs on his body stand on end.
William, who was still pretending to be unconscious, felt his body stiffen.
Brothers? Friends?
Well, no matter how twisted and perverse the relationship between his teacher Batman and Barbatos has become, it won't hinder William's plans.
William glanced at the first Lantern Man lying there unresponsive out of the corner of his eye. He knew that the man was a Time Trapped in disguise, and that he would soon launch an attack on Barbatos.
William counted down silently in his mind.
"...I need your help to remove this heart..."
Not far away on Earth 1, countless two-headed monsters have already gathered in the mountains and forests, and have begun to spread wildly throughout the entire planet.
These enhanced Red Monsters are constantly spreading Chen Tao's Red Power, helping him gradually replace the Spirit of Existence. With the help of Barbatos's method of weaving destiny, and Batman's own constant control, his plan is about to succeed.
Deep within the super-time stream.
The anti-monitor dragon, like William Hand, was observing the battlefield.
"Okay...okay..." he thought slowly.
This matter was about to be accomplished. Under his observation, as the spirit of existence on Hal's chest was stripped away, all the energy in Hal's body also fell into complete chaos at that moment.
"Oh, what do you want to do to my perfect plan?" the Emperor Joker, now completely subdued, yelled. "Let me go!"
The Antimonitor Dragon slapped the Emperor Joker across the face, smashing half of his face. A large amount of antimatter cosmic energy adhered to it, making it impossible for him to repair his cheek.
The anti-surveillance dragon pondered silently.
Originally, the power within Hal was entirely dominated by the power of Parallax, along with other forces such as the Green Lantern's central energy battery. The antimatter cosmic energy absorbed by Hal simply became Hal's battery, rather than the puppet strings that controlled him.
But now, with the opponent's actions, Batman Dragon will help Anti-Monitor Dragon completely control Parallax Morhal.
The moment Batman Dragon succeeds is the same moment Anti-Monitor Dragon masters the ultimate weapon, Parallax Morhal.
In the current timeline, only Parallax Morhal is qualified and capable of becoming the vessel for the Anti-Monitor's main body to descend.
If the Time Trapped can temporarily distract Batman Dragon just as he is about to succeed, then the Anti-Monitor's plan will be more than half successful.
Once he regains his power, even Barbatos will be unable to contend with him in the current timeline. He can completely reverse the current timeline and destroy the hypertime stream until he pushes the timeline back to the day when the Infinite Earth Crisis began!
