Chapter 454: The Anti-Monitor's Weakness, the Barrier of the Dark Multiverse

I am Mobius.

But the multiverse may be more familiar with my other name:

Anti-Monitor.

But the fact is, I am not the Anti-Monitor himself. I know very well that I am just a broken replica, a poor imitation, but more than that.

As far as I know, the Anti-Monitor has two origins.

One origin is about a mortal scientist named Mobius... He was eager to study the anti-life equation and finally became a slave to this power.

And the other origin... is much more complicated than this one.

In short, maybe we should start from the beginning.

In the beginning of the universe, there was a place called [Origin], and in this place, an invisible giant hand gathered the raw materials that constitute the multiverse.

And the mother of the multiverse [Papetua] went to forge those raw materials into a functioning multiverse at the order of [Origin].

The six-dimensional world first appeared under the forging of Papetua. This is the main control room of the DC multiverse and the highest level of the DC multiverse.

Perpetua then created the rest of the DC multiverse, using seven energies to create three parts: positive matter became the cornerstone of the world, antimatter built a negative universe opposite the positive universe, which we call the antimatter universe. And dark matter gave birth to a world full of infinite possibilities.

By then, Perpetua had completed her mission and her life was over, so that her energy could return to the origin.

But she rejected her fate.

She began to experiment with the creatures at the center of this new multiverse, transforming them into deadly and advanced predators. Her plan was to build a legion to fight against any creation that the origin might send, so as to continue her life and control this reality.

She was betrayed by her own flesh and blood, and her three descendants joined forces to create the [Cosmic Tuning Fork], which is simply a large trumpet.

They used the [Cosmic Tuning Fork] to send a signal to the Great Omniverse, notifying her superiors of her overstepping her authority.

Those superior creations responded. They sent a huge amount of energy to seal off Papetua herself, her energy, and her immortal army of top predators.

The Cosmic Raptor defeated Papetua and her army, the Promethean Titans, and she was sealed on a high wall at the edge of the multiverse, an endless barrier that separates our multiverse from the Great Omniverse and its origin at the center.

And this barrier is what people call the Origin Wall.

However, after the Anti-Monitor betrayed his mother with his two brothers, the Anti-Monitor was suddenly shocked to find that due to the establishment of the Origin Wall, the existence of this wall made his antimatter universe meaningless.

Originally, the meaning of the antimatter universe was to guard the border of the multiverse, but now that the Omniverse is blocked by the Origin Wall, this new universe no longer needs the antimatter universe to guard the border, and naturally does not need the existence of the Anti-Monitor.

This made the Anti-Monitor very, very angry, and he believed that the Monitor must pay the price.

Therefore, he continued to accumulate power through the Anti-Life Equation, and then one day...

He triggered the Infinite Earth Crisis.

The result of this crisis was the Anti-Monitor's tragic defeat. He was defeated by the heroes of the entire multiverse. Not only did he lose his body, but his soul was blown up like a firework by Clark Kent, the old Superman of Earth 2.

The young Superboy Prime also participated in this war. This was the golden age of the DC universe, and the character of every hero was shining like gold.

But the Anti-Monitor will not die. No matter how many times he is destroyed in the multiverse, he can be reborn in the sixth dimension because he is the supreme god of DC.

But this does not mean that he can regain all his power after rebirth... After rebirth, the Anti-Monitor will become weaker and will never be at his peak during the Infinite Earth Crisis.

But this is not permanent.

Those scattered powers... The Anti-Monitor will sooner or later regain these powers, and then slowly restore the power of the DC Supreme God, if... if there is no accident.

Many years have passed in the multiverse, and many things have happened during this period. The timeline has been restarted again and again, Infinite Crisis, Zero Hour... and then I was born.

I am the dark multiverse mirror of the Anti-Monitor Mobius. There are two important conditions for my birth:

1. The Flashpoint incident happened. Barry Allen went back and reversed time, which caused the timeline to restart. This behavior directly created the mortal scientist Mobius version of the Anti-Monitor.

However, the mortal Mobius only existed for a short period of time. After the Flashpoint, the world had another small restart.

That is [DC Universe Rebirth].

This time many people have recovered their memories before the timeline restart, but this restart has a huge change for the Anti-Monitor.

The mortal Mobius scientist version of the Anti-Monitor that appeared in the New 52 period after the [Flashpoint Restart] was completely erased after the [DC Universe Rebirth], without any trace left.

Everyone has forgotten such an Anti-Monitor, and even the Anti-Monitor himself was reborn in the sixth dimension, and he didn't care about his history as a mortal.

But... but that's not the case.

Originally, with the restart of the world, the Anti-Monitor is no longer the original Anti-Monitor.

And the mortal Mobius version of the Anti-Monitor who was erased after the restart of the timeline should also be submerged in the endless characters that have been erased due to the restart of time since the birth of the DC universe. No one will pay attention to the face of the mortal Mobius, the Anti-Monitor.

However, at this time...

The second condition that led to my birth occurred:

2. The World Forger died.

As the eldest of the three sons born by Papetua, the mother of the multiverse, the World Forger's duty is to forge a normal and intact single universe, and during this period he often creates some low-level universes with poor quality,

that is, the dark multiverse.

Originally, these dark multiverses should be destroyed by the pet of the World Forger, the Dark Multiverse Dragon Barbatos. This dragon should be responsible for destroying those worlds, but Barbatos did not do so. He left these dark multiverses and watched them grow and develop.

When Barbatos's power became strong enough, he turned against his master.

When the World Forger died and returned to the sixth dimension to wait for rebirth, Barbatos completely mastered the entire dark multiverse. Those dark multiverses began to appear stably, and then became part of the power of the Dark Multiverse Dragon Barbatos in one doomsday after another.

Barbatos's dark multiverse is a mirror image of the normal multiverse. Those that are judged as defective by the World Forger need to be destroyed by Barbatos and then turned into energy for re-melting.

However, in this huge number of dark multiverses, there is actually a mirror image of the anti-monitor.

Of course, that Anti-Monitor was pitifully weak, he was just the most defective mirror image, just like the defective Prime Superboy who was killed by a kryptonite gun in the infinite multiverse crisis I saw.

But even if he was a fake Anti-Monitor in the dark multiverse, he was still the Anti-Monitor.

That dark multiverse was reproducing the Infinite Earth Crisis. When the heroes of the dark multiverse defeated the defective Anti-Monitor, the body of the Anti-Monitor was occupied by an Anti-Monitor from the New 52 era.

A brand new Anti-Monitor, that is, me, was born. But it was no longer the empty shell of the Anti-Monitor created by the World Forger in the dark multiverse, but a part of the essence of the mortal Mobius in the New 52 era, resurrected in the dark multiverse.

My existence was stuck at an almost perfect time point: the World Forger died, and before he had time to be reborn in the sixth dimension, the Anti-Monitor died, and the situation was similar.

The only two powerful beings who could stop me were unable to take action, so I was born.

Part of me comes from the mortal Mobius version of the Anti-Monitor who was erased from the timeline during the New 52 era. I am the remnant of the Anti-Monitor's essence.

The other part of me comes from the residual energy that escaped into the multiverse after the Anti-Monitor was killed during the Crisis on Infinite Earths.

The combination of the two energies and essences constitutes my existence.

I am Mobius, and I know very well that the world I live in at this moment is the Dark Multiverse.

The Dark Multiverse God [Barbatos] is not easy to mess with. I am no longer a creature of the Dark Multiverse. If he finds out about this, my fate will never be good.

Therefore, I must devour as many universes as possible and accumulate as much power as possible.

Barbatos is also like me. He is also hoarding power and trying to invade the multiverse, but before that, he set up a barrier between the multiverse and his Dark Multiverse to try to prevent all creatures of the Dark Multiverse and the Multiverse from spying on each other's existence.

I have the ability to break this barrier created by Barbatos. I am strong enough. As long as I break this barrier, I will be able to send myself or others into the normal multiverse.

But I will not do that in the end. Because I am not a pure dark multiverse creature, doing so is equivalent to exposing myself to Barbatos.

The dark multiverse is the source of Barbatos' power, and I, an incomplete dark multiverse creature, is devouring his dark multiverse, which is equivalent to snatching food from Barbatos' bowl.

After all, I am not a real anti-monitor, but his remnant... But remnants are remnants after all, even if they are powerful remnants.

I am definitely not Barbatos' opponent. Once he finds me, I am afraid I will be forced to escape into the light multiverse to save my life.

Therefore, even if I have the ability to open a channel between the dark multiverse and the light multiverse, I will not do so, no matter what the circumstances.

"Who are you?"

I heard the Batman opposite asked. In the several parallel universes I destroyed before, those Batmans asked this question the most.

"You can think for yourself," I said. "Don't expect me to be stupid enough to tell you."

I am Mobius, the mortal Mobius, and the Anti-Monitor.

I would never be stupid enough to reveal who I am to Batman and let him find my weaknesses to use against me.
