Chapter 455: Anti-Monitor, I'm Here to Negotiate (5400 words long chapter)
I am the Anti-Monitor, the essence of the mortal Mobius reborn in the Dark Multiverse.
I am a mistake in the timeline, a history of a supreme god once falling into mortal form and being easily deleted from the history of the DC universe. No one will care, no one will remember, but now is a perfect opportunity.
The Anti-Monitor has not yet been reborn... and the World Forger is dead.
Barbatos, the Dark Multiverse dragon who usurped the authority of the World Forger, does not understand the power of the World Forger. This is my chance, and perhaps my only chance:
A dead person is a dead person.
The Anti-Monitor faces Batman, but his eyes penetrate him and see the Earth that he protects in the bottle in his body.
On Earth.
The Justice League is ready to go.
"Take this, everyone."
Lex Luthor handed an octopus-like insect-like device to each member of the Justice League: "This thing allows you to help Batman charge without being in the battery compartment."
Luthor said: "Don't wear it on your chest. This thing is very tough. It is essentially a node for the transmission of the speed force, not a machine that cannot be used if a part is slightly broken. It can still be used even if a part is destroyed, but the premise is that it cannot withstand a violent attack from the front, even if those violent attacks are "mild" for you superhumans."
"What about you, Lex?" Wonder Woman carried the thing on her back, and Clark stood beside her.
She saw that Lex Luthor was obviously not wearing his shiny green heavy armor, but was still wearing his regular clothes.
Diana turned slightly to see that the experimenter Ivy, the Poison Ivy, was also pulled out, as well as all the members of the Rogues, but there was no sign of Bane.
"I have other things to do..." Luthor said. The Anti-Monitor didn't know what Luthor was going to do, but he would definitely keep a close eye on him. But this could also be Batman's delaying tactic... Who knows?
But the only thing I know is...
None of this worked.
… … … … … "Our strategic goal is to suppress the Anti-Monitor."
Chen Tao stood there, his brain transmitting to all the members of the Justice League through the radio: "Our battle will be broadcast live in front of the public."
With the shrinking ray, the entire Justice League was released by Chen Tao.
Wonder Woman Diana, Martian Manhunter, Superman Clark Kent, Flash, and even Thunder Shazam, the Rogues...
More and more people appeared on the battlefield, and they surrounded the Anti-Monitor who was standing there motionless.
Origin Wall.
The bored Supreme Little Superman lowered his head, and there was no concept of sleeping on the Origin Wall. He could only stare at the vast starry sky in front of him day after day, or actively calm his mind and let the Origin Wall devour his thoughts.
But today is different...
Prime Superboy raised his head and saw a portal opened in the void not far away. His eyes immediately turned red:
"Damn Batman, I'm going to kill you--"
"No, no, no... Not Batman. To be honest, I really hope you can pay attention to who is coming before you curse."
A bald head like a boiled egg stretched out from the portal leading to the Origin Wall from the Eternal Cellar. Lex Luthor, wearing a green battle armor, slowly flew in front of Prime Superboy.
"What? It's Luthor... Although I don't think you're the one I know."
(Note: Superboy Prime here refers to Alexander Luthor Jr., the villain who caused the Infinite Crisis with him. Note that this person has the same name as Alexander Luthor [Thunderbolt], but they are not the same person!)
He looked at him with a mocking look in his eyes: "I remember that the Luthor in your universe has become Batman's lackey. It's really interesting. If the Luthors I know knew these things, they would definitely laugh their heads off."
Then his eyes narrowed: "But it doesn't matter. One day I will kill you all."
Luthor didn't say anything. Batman once taught him not to talk too much nonsense with Superboy Prime when facing him. Even though Superboy Prime has great power, this "small" shows what kind of person he is.
The more he refutes Superboy Prime, the more Superboy Prime will be firm in his inner thoughts, which will have the opposite effect.
So Luthor said nothing.
He flew in front of Superboy Prime, and then the camera on the chest armor lifted up, and a three-dimensional image was erected in front of Superboy Prime.
This armor was made with the participation of Batman, and it was mixed with some magical power of the Metal Spirit. In this way, Luthor can broadcast the current movements of the Justice League in real time across thousands of mountains and rivers.
"The Justice League is fighting the invaders to protect the world. They are heroes, Superboy Prime. Batman sent me here to make you understand this."
"So what?" Superboy Prime said: "You guys, a group of villains nicknamed heroes with corrupt morals, just did normal heroic things, and you are actually proud of it???"
Superboy Prime felt insulted, and he was furious: "Do you think you can deceive me like this? You think..."
But Superboy Prime's words suddenly stopped.
Because he heard Luthor say:
"The enemy the Justice League is fighting is the Anti-Monitor."
"...And as far as we know, the Anti-Monitor is the murderer who destroyed your hometown, the Earth of Origin, right?"
"Have you never thought about revenge?"
Luthor said so. And not far from Luthor, in the space gap that was opened for hiding, Atrocitus was quietly listening to their conversation.
……

……
"Stand back and watch my photoelectric show, Green Lantern will solve everything!"
Green Lantern Hal Jordan stared with a pair of dead fish eyes, and heard the lines he had said in the mouth of Thunder Shazam, and then the little mouth began to bang out "bang bang bang" and other onomatopoeias that would only be made after being beaten.
The battle broke out in an instant.
Batman, who had experienced many battles, took the lead. Since he decided to take action, he did not intend to hold back.
Green Lantern Batman was refreshed by silver-white particles, and his body was instantly covered. Then Chen Tao took out a small bottle, which was surprisingly a shrunken Green Lantern Central Energy Battery.
If the little blues were still there... well, now the yellow and green Lantern Corps is almost a one-man show of Arlene Su and Hal, so we skip this question.
"Ah... you... you are not qualified to be Ion Man——"
Chen Tao didn't waste words, and a large number of green chains flew out of his ring. The little blues themselves are experts in forcing tailed beasts. Chen Tao forcibly read the brains of the few little blues who were still alive, and learned from them. Forcing lantern beasts is a matter of second time.
"I don't care if you are qualified or not, come here——"
"Ahhhhhhh——"
Chen Tao inserted his small body into the body of the Ion Shark. With a tremor and a high cry from the big shark, it soon became listless.
[Warning, you have once again used abnormal means to increase your danger level. Your danger level is ∞, which cannot be monitored. Please give up cheating]
[Warning, according to calculations, you should not maintain this abnormal state of improvement for a long time. This is very likely to attract the attention of some dangerous existences in the multiverse! 】
【Warning, users are advised to stop and give up cheating within one minute】
【Warning, suggestion...】
【Please keep...】
Chen Tao pulled his body out of the Ion Shark's body with a pop, and then inserted it again. This long string of words refreshed the silver font on his retina again, and started counting the time of one minute again.
Although Chen Tao also tried to ignore the reminder of the silver-white font of the Alfred Protocol on his retina and kept forcing the light beast for more than one minute, nothing happened, but he would rather be a little troublesome in this matter, so he chose to try his best to avoid possible problems.
In this state, Chen Tao's body grew extremely hideous bone spurs in an instant.
Chen Tao, who transformed into a ravager, rushed towards the huge body of the anti-monitor. Wonder Woman Diana followed closely and threw a lasso, Superman's eyes shot out red lasers, and the attacks of the three giants surrounded the anti-monitor almost in an instant.
"Nostalgic." The anti-monitor said.
Then he stretched out a hand and held against the horn of the bone spur that Batman was hitting head-on. This action made him carried by the huge kinetic energy, and he was pushed back on the Quad planet like a plow. His feet sank deeply into the soil, and countless mud and rocks cracked like tofu dregs.
He used his head to block Superman's heat vision, and then grabbed Wonder Woman's sword with his other hand.
The sharp blade that was enough to cut molecules did not even leave a white mark on his hand. Amid Wonder Woman's roar, the Anti-Monitor tried to take away Wonder Woman's sword, but failed. So he grabbed Wonder Woman and swung her together. He lifted her high and slammed her on Superman's body. Then he stretched out his foot and kicked Batman's body...
Huh?
The Anti-Monitor was surprised because his foot did not kick Batman, but was retreating.
His body was moving forward, and the ground that had been plowed and cracked by his feet like tofu was repairing. He saw Wonder Woman, who was swung up and hit Superman, flying backwards. She grabbed the hilt of the sword, and then was carried by the sword to hand the blade back to the Anti-Monitor's palm, and then the Anti-Monitor let go of her sword like a video tape playing in reverse.
"What???"
The Anti-Monitor turned his head and saw that it was the Flash running at high speed not far away, throwing strands of golden speed force at Batman.
"How did you do this--"
"Diana, squat!"
Wonder Woman just swung her sword at the Anti-Monitor, but in an instant she heard Batman shouting at her.
She subconsciously obeyed Batman's order, so the Anti-Monitor's palm that was grasping her sword suddenly grabbed nothing.
Diana lowered her body, slid, used the shield on the ground as a buffer, slid under the Anti-Monitor's arm span, and then stabbed him in the armpit with a sword.
"Ugh--"
The sword failed to pierce the Anti-Monitor's defense, but the tremendous power of the sword destroyed the Anti-Monitor's balance. He tilted his body slightly, and then his eyes came into close contact with Superman's hot gaze.
Amid the explosion of intense fire, Shazam, who followed closely behind, clasped his palms together.
The violent magic lightning mixed with Captain Cold's frost and the superpower attacks of other members of the Rogue Gang directly struck the Anti-Monitor's chest. The Anti-Monitor was hit and flew backwards, then drew an arc in the air, leaving a long mark on the ground of the Quad Planet, and even rolled violently. Captain Cold immediately followed, his hands gushed out cold air, and in an instant, the Anti-Monitor was frozen into an ice sculpture. "Yeah!" Shazam raised his hands and shouted, "We defeated the Anti-Monitor, just like defeating Kil'jaeden in World of Warcraft! It was as easy as turning on a modifier!" Then the teenage boy Billy Batson suddenly realized the problem: "Hey, isn't this a bit abnormal? Buddy?" He looked around: "No one can help me answer my questions?" "This... what's going on? We defeated the Anti-Monitor with one blow?" Captain Cold himself didn't quite believe what he had done. He took two steps back and said, "Isn't this a bit-" However, before he finished speaking, suddenly, Captain Cold's hair stood up all over his body. In an instant, the ice exploded, and then he just blinked and saw the Anti-Monitor appeared in front of him, face to face, face to face. A huge amount of ice gushed out from the rogue leader's body in an instant. The temperature just around Captain Cold suddenly dropped to below minus 194 degrees. In an instant, the atmosphere around Captain Cold completely turned into a light blue liquid. At such a low temperature, if a pear is placed in this liquid air, it will become as brittle as glass.
But this cannot stop the Anti-Monitor's attack.
In that extremely fast moment, Superman Clark Kent jumped on the Anti-Monitor's back from behind, trying to stop the opponent's attack, but in an instant, he was pulled off his back by the Anti-Monitor with one hand and thrown to the ground.
And the other hand slapped Captain Cold's head heavily.
In an instant, Captain Cold's head and his upper body exploded, and countless flesh pulps burst like flowers from the sky, but...
"Damn, what did you do?" The Anti-Monitor felt it more clearly this time.
The golden speed force was pushing reality backwards. Captain Cold, who had been hit by his fist and exploded like a firecracker, was dead and could not die anymore. He re-condensed his flesh, and countless flying flesh returned to the original path, re-assembling Captain Cold's human form.
The Anti-Monitor was forced to be pushed by the reality wrapped in the golden speed force, and stepped back several steps, but he suddenly exerted force and actually stopped the retreat of reality.
And the timeline seemed to have sensed the rejection of the Anti-Monitor, so it also stopped.
The Anti-Monitor immediately continued the action he had just taken and rushed towards Captain Cold, but Captain Cold had heard Batman's order in the communication. Although his reaction speed could not keep up with the speed of the Anti-Monitor, he still burst into cold air and shot a freezing cold air above him, covering the Anti-Monitor's face impartially, which immediately delayed the Anti-Monitor's action to kill him by half a second.
Suddenly, Superman jumped onto the Anti-Monitor's back, his eyes glowing with heat, and then he used his head as a headbutt to hit the back of the Anti-Monitor's head. The Martian Manhunter transformed into an alien creature like a swimming dragon, quickly swam onto the Anti-Monitor's body, and tied him up like a dumpling.
The Anti-Monitor staggered back two steps, and he shook off the ice debris on his face with just two shakes:
"Interesting, very interesting."
"What the ***, boss, your speed, this reaction is too fast, and this accuracy." The magician exclaimed: "Why weren't you so powerful when dealing with the Flash before?"
"No, it's not me who reacted." Captain Cold said a little confused: "It's... Batman reminded me through the communication before."
The Anti-Monitor was about to say something to Batman, but soon turned his head: "Alas, Amazon."
Wonder Woman used the Lasso of Truth to lasso one of the Anti-Monitor's arms. She wrapped the lasso around her forearm and pulled it back suddenly, but was led forward and staggered continuously.
The Anti-Monitor said:
"Your lasso forces me to tell the truth. I enjoy this moment more than I thought."
He pulled the rope violently, and then Wonder Woman was pulled into the sky by him.
Captain Cold immediately rushed forward, intending to support, but Batman rushed forward.
Captain Cold watched a beam of white light shoot out from the Anti-Monitor's hand. It was the power of the Anti-Life Equation of the Anti-Monitor. Batman seemed to have guessed it long ago and turned sideways, lightly dodging the impact of this fatal attack;
Anti-Monitor swung a punch towards the trajectory where Batman might move forward, but for some reason Batman suddenly caught the weak part of the swinging arm and pulled him to stagger;
Then Batman dodged the sprayed white light of the Anti-Life Equation again, stepped on the Anti-Monitor's face, and lightly caught Diana from the air who was almost swung to the ground, and held her on the ground in a princess hug.
"Shocking... You are playing with the time of this single universe... You are using the method of continuous restart to stop me."
The Anti-Monitor stopped attacking everyone. He watched Wonder Woman jump off Batman as if bitten by a snake.
"And you are not strong enough to resist the single universe."
Chen Tao said:
"Otherwise, this level of time restart should not work on you. If you can resist this timeline restart, you should be able to force time to go back and kill my teammates."
He couldn't answer the Anti-Monitor because what Batman said was indeed the truth, and he couldn't deny it, but he immediately said:
"You have unprecedentedly combined the Speed Force's ability to reverse time with the Ion Shark's power to control time and space.
The Speed Force helps you pry the entire single universe, and the Ion Shark's time control ability is used as a console.
Great job , now you can turn time back to any place, and I can't resist it. "
The Anti-Monitor said: "You must have some form of controlling the Speed Force, but countless time restarts have made us lose the memory of your mastering the Speed Force!"
"Wait, that's not right." The Anti-Monitor suddenly interrupted himself: "You can't tamper with my memory, what's going on?"
"Anti-Monitor, I'm here to negotiate terms."
Then the two of them were silent for a few seconds, and then Captain Cold heard Batman say: "I hope you can leave my universe and never invade us again."
Captain Cold:?
The rest of the Justice League looked at each other.
What's going on? Did Batman suddenly become stupid?
