Chapter 466: Stealing the Anti-Monitor's Memory, the Drained Starfish
I am Batman.
How I wish I could tell you that everything is in my plan.
How I wish I could still guide the development of things as I did in the past, and then when problems arise, I can still come up with a pre-prepared plan.
Unfortunately... I can't.
The power of the Anti-Monitor far exceeds my expectations. I was caught off guard by the defeat of Superboy-Prime and the rejection of the Dark Lord back into his universe.
I chose to believe the information revealed to me by Night Owl. Even though I verified what Night Owl said through Grey's side, I never really believed his negative conclusions about "you can't win."
For the first time in my life, I felt that I was at the end of my rope, like a bottomless cave, and suddenly one day someone used an unprecedented thick iron rod to poke me from the mouth to the bottom of my heart.
As Night Owl said, I still have time...
After being stripped of all the hard shells like a lamb to be slaughtered, I still have a chance to delay time.
According to Night Owl's calculations and deductions...
If his deductions are accurate.
At this point, I trust Night Owl, just like I trust myself.
15 days.
Or restart the same day 15 times.
This is the result of Night Owl's calculation, and I guess the time will be a little shorter.
However, this is only the result of our calculations after all, and the actual effect... no one knows.
At this moment, now.
On Quad.
The battlefield where the Anti-Monitor fights Batman.
[Warning! Warning! It is detected that the Flash Barry Allen has died. Please completely integrate Barry Allen into your body and replicate the birth process of the Red Death. It has been obtained——]
[Batman has integrated the Flash into his body... You have completely synchronized SS-level Batman: Red Death. ]
Chen Tao watched the silver-white font of the Alfred Protocol in front of him turn black, flashing on his retina like bleeding.
"Bruce, I have now completely integrated into your body, this feeling..."
Chen Tao tilted his head slightly, and Barry Allen's face appeared when he tilted his head, and then disappeared.
"Am I dead, Bruce?"
"Not yet."
Chen Tao told him, "I have a way to separate us, but now, go to sleep."
He said, "I will save you. You will separate from me again through the Speed Force."
"I will..."
Chen Tao wanted to say something to comfort Barry Allen, who was a little panicked because the Speed Force became part of Batman's power, but soon his voice fell silent, and he fell asleep completely in the Speed Force that kept pouring into Chen Tao's body.
Chen Tao closed his mouth and thought silently.
I... I will definitely bring you back, Barry.
"You dare..."
In the distance, the voice of the Anti-Monitor was roaring, and the Speed Force, which was dark gold and red and black intertwined with lightning shapes, fell from the sky, like a cage connecting heaven and earth, filling the entire universe.
The land that was originally destroyed in the battle was constantly retreating and repairing under the influence of the Speed Force lightning storm, like a video tape played in reverse, returning to where they should have been.
The huge rock pits and the huge cracks in the ground created by the fight between the Justice League and the Anti-Monitor were also closing, like an eraser, and were completely erased.
The Anti-Monitor was resisting this change... The scenery around him was desperately retreating, but only the Anti-Monitor, he just kept a static posture, neither falling back, but also unable to move as usual.
Even in an instant, the time reversal of an area around him was reversed, and the originally repaired ground turned back to a cracked state, but in an instant it was reversing again by the Speed Force.
But even so, the Anti-Monitor still resisted with his own existence, resisting the change of reversing time, which caused the time around him to flow backwards, and only he stayed firmly in place.
Chen Tao had no time to pay attention to him, he was moving around the Quad Star at a speed faster than the speed of light.
He needed to use the Speed Force to exclude the Anti-Monitor from his universe, that is, to restart the timeline to before the Anti-Monitor entered the universe by reversing the time effect.
However, the speed force of the universe is like a battery, and the speed force consumed to drive away the Anti-Monitor is simply not comparable to the amount that the Flash can consume when running.
The arrival of a monster of the size of the Anti-Monitor is a heavy burden for their entire single universe. Chen Tao has restarted the timeline several times before, just to test how strong the Anti-Monitor's ability to resist the restart of the timeline is, but now it seems that the Anti-Monitor has hardly gone all out in the previous resistance.
This is definitely bad news, but...
The heart of the Anti-Monitor appeared in Chen Tao's hand.
He installed the octopus-like sharing device made by Luther and Lucius directly on the Anti-Monitor's heart, and a large amount of speed force burden was completely transferred to the Anti-Monitor's heart.
Deep in the dark multiverse, a dragon immediately felt that Batman was asking for power from him.
Very good... very good.
Barbatos felt happy, he stretched out his huge wings, and then flapped them gently.
This is the first step of the fall, and the fall of countless Batmans began from this moment.
When the Drowned Wrath transformed himself into a superhuman for the first time.
When the Red Death armed himself with the weapons of the Flash's enemies for the first time.
When the Killing Machine used the Alfred artificial intelligence that Cyborg made for him, which was only responsible for making Batman sandwiches, for the first time.
Barbatos never hesitated to give those Batmen power at the beginning, and the Dark Dragon didn't care about Batman's restart timeline at all.
It's just a delay, so what?
The web of fate has been woven, and the prey trapped in it is indeed the Anti-Monitor, but isn't it Batman? This is the dark multiverse, and all fates are controlled by Barbatos. As long as he has no choice in the end, he will return to his arms.
Compared to the time delay method of restarting time, which cannot change the final outcome, making Batman accustomed to relying on the heart of the Anti-Monitor and accustomed to relying on borrowing his power to solve problems is what Barbatos hopes to happen, and it is also what every Batman in the dark multiverse will experience.
In an instant, the Anti-Monitor completely lost the ability to stay in place. He was uncontrollably dragged back by the Speed Force, like a puppet being forced to be manipulated by pressing his head.
"Asshole, you..."
But he didn't have the chance to say anything to Batman. Batman's speed was getting faster and faster. As time continued to flow backwards, the force field barrier outside the Quad Star disappeared, the entire planet continued to reverse, and the earth appeared from Batman's chest. All time was constantly moving backwards.
The Anti-Monitor kept moving backwards, and then moved backwards to the side of the crack in space.
Quad has been expelled from this universe. It tore a pocket in the void like a huge bowling ball and was thrown out mercilessly by the Speed Force. Then came the Anti-Monitor. He grabbed the opening of the space crack with all his strength and stared at Batman viciously.
He knew that he might not be able to stop his fate of being expelled from this universe. Expelling him from this universe was not just Batman's doing, but more of Barbatos provided power behind the scenes, but this could not stop him from making a comeback. 15 days later... or 10 days later, the end of this world will come.
Batman has lost his courage. These 15 days are just to delay his time to go to the grave.
He already knows all of Batman's trump cards. Batman will never find a new force that can compete with him within these 15 days.
In this case, he...
But in an instant, the Anti-Monitor suddenly saw Batman wrapped in the Speed Force and appeared in front of him.
"What?"
The Anti-Monitor wanted to swing his fist, he wanted to swing his fist, and attack Batman viciously, but the violent surge of the Speed Force restrained his movements. Then he could only watch Batman put his hands on his huge head in the thunder and lightning of the Speed Force.
The overwhelming Speed Force was roaring and surging, hitting the entire universe like a wave. In the endless thunder, Batman, surrounded by red lightning, looked down and pressed the Anti-Monitor viciously under his crotch.
A huge spiritual force rushed into the Anti-Monitor's brain, and he immediately groaned.
In the depths of the universe.
Starro, the big star, let out a hysterical wail.
Many people may not have heard how the starfish screamed, but the only thing that can be imagined is that when the starfish is fatally injured, the violent scream is no less than the screams of humans when they die tragically.
The starfish flesh all over his body swelled up, and then immediately burst, like a pustule full of pus and blood being squeezed out, and then shrank again, turning into a starfish shape like five iron wire worms circling a city.
Hundreds of trillions of clones surrounded Starro's body, and now these clones were quickly extinguished in an instant.
They shrank rapidly and exploded like dumplings, and the huge spiritual energy was completely drained, absorbed, and poured into the Batman thousands of miles away, and then used by him without mercy, like a rag repeatedly ravaged.
Damn it, he just connected his spiritual power to Batman, he just lent it to him, borrowed it! But Batman was about to drain it!
"Help!"
The big starfish trembled all over. For a long time, the telepathic ability of the universe conqueror overwhelmed the entire universe. He had never seen a creature that could resist his telepathy, let alone a terrible monster that almost sucked him dry just by reading the other party's memory.
Grayer had set him up. This was not a double-bet, but a trap.
Starfish wanted to resist the absorption, but he was soon taught a lesson by the power of Barbatos contained in the heart of the Anti-Monitor.
Starfish's psychic power just touched a little bit of Barbatos' dark power, and Starro was instantly scared.
"Night Owl! Save me!"
He tried to plead with Night Owl, but then he felt his almost drained body filling up again.
Those clones that died like dumplings were quickly resurrected and filled with psychic power again, as if these powers had never been consumed.
Some kind of time force reset his body's state, but before the big star could be happy, he felt a huge suction coming from Batman's mental connection with him the next second.
"Oh, come on."
With a hiss, Starro was sucked into a wireworm again.
"Are you reading my memory?"
The Anti-Monitor was furious.
This was a situation he had never imagined. Even Bat-Lenyaq had no ability to invade his brain. How did Batman do it?
Even when Batman had expelled him from the universe before, he was not so angry: "You dare to spy on my birth and my destiny?! You..."
However, the next moment, his eyes showed a blank look. The Speed Force reversed time and deprived him of his memory. The Anti-Monitor was very sure that Batman must have used a lot of Speed Force to do this, and he was also very clear that he would be able to regain his memory after a while...
But now the only problem is.
In this short period of time, at least in the period of time that will come in 15 days...
He didn't remember what memory Batman stole from him.
This memory was completely deleted by Batman at the cost of even more speed. The Anti-Monitor speculated that Batman had at least 15 days to go back, but after he did that, these 15 days would probably be greatly reduced, to the point that...
Hey, what did Batman just do to me?
Damn Batman, he pushed me out of his universe, he...
As the cracks in the universe disappeared with a pop, Chen Tao used up his last bit of strength to run back to the main conference room of the Justice League Hall, and then blood gushed out of his body, and he fell on the main seat with a thump.
Before he passed out, Batman's mouth... had a hideous smile.
……
……
……
I am a turtle man, and I am very scared now.
I don't know what happened recently, I always feel like something is wrong, but I can't put my finger on it.
But in short, Batman is standing next to me now, looking at me with a smile on his face, and he told me that he would do an experiment on me to make me a real strong man.
What does "strong man" mean?
As you can imagine, this is definitely not a good word.
I am so scared.
Batman is crazier than ever.
Someone help me!
