Chapter 472 I am a time traveler, the Supreme Little Superman
Darkness...
Lonely world.
The Dark Knight was entrenched in the hell he protected.
He was suspended in the night sky... He was almost hidden in the dark space behind him.
In the cold and chaotic vortex, a black creature with jagged wings broke through the air, flapping its wings like pieces of shroud.
The black veil of the Broken Bat surrounded his body, covering the blue of the speeding bullet under his caped crusader's cloak.
He tried to chase and respond to the light in the broken darkness, and wondered if it represented himself.
"I am Batman."
He thought so:
"I am Chen Tao."
He also wondered if this monster derived from his broken soul was worth his--
devoting his whole life?
But these were ultimately just his trivial self-questions and those unclear delusions.
Chen Tao came to his senses, and then flew alone again to the magnificent Origin Wall in the distance.
Alone.
Darkseid did not follow him.
He sent a request to Darkseid, an order that required his help.
But the other party did not respond to him.
Chen Tao was very sure that Darkseid had received the message, and he was very sure that the other party should have set out through the Rock of Eternity in a very short time and appeared next to the Origin Wall.
At this time, Darkseid should have used the Heart of Darkness with the Eclipse with Chen Tao, and then helped him use Omega Rays to weaken the mind of Superboy-Prime.
With the help of the mental influence of Blood Bull and Parallax Monster, the power of the Red of All Living Things and Chen Tao's mental ability were ensured, and finally the Red of All Living Things was completely used to strengthen Superboy-Prime's body, and this powerful helper who was capable of confronting the Anti-Monitor head-on was truly used for his own use.
This was Chen Tao's original plan. Compared with the plan with a low success rate of persuading Superboy-Prime, manipulating Superboy-Prime was undoubtedly a more reliable choice.
But all this was caught off guard by Darkseid's disappearance at the last minute.
Chen Tao immediately realized what Darkseid was thinking after the surveillance he left on Apokolips was almost wiped out in an instant.
Reality is not an RPG game. It is impossible to say that an enemy will never abandon you and be loyal to you until death after becoming your friendly unit.
His previous failure in the face of the Anti-Monitor made Darkseid want to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the tigers, or he had such an idea, but Chen Tao's strong performance before suppressed his idea.
But this does not mean that Darkseid has given up. The hidden dangers have not disappeared, but have accumulated.
With Batman's first defeat in the face of the Anti-Monitor, this hidden danger quietly accumulated in a place he could not see, and finally broke out at this moment.
Darkseid simply let Batman down.
This is essentially a kind of intimidation. Darkseid is creating the illusion of "I will abandon you", which is essentially to seize the dominant position...
Chen Tao has a blank expression on his face.
In his previous exchanges with Darkseid, he always occupied a dominant position, and even subtly suppressed the other party with the attitude of a leader.
Although they are allies, Chen Tao thought he had grasped Darkseid's greed for the Anti-Life Equation owned by the Anti-Monitor and his desire to continue the universe, but he ignored the fact that there were conflicts between him and Darkseid.
They could only agree on the continuation of the universe. Chen Tao could not let Darkseid get the Anti-Life Equation - this was equivalent to turning a wolf into a tiger, a situation he would never accept.
Darkseid obviously understood this, but at the same time, Darkseid also needed Batman's power to get the opportunity to seize the Anti-Life Equation.
Therefore, this is the basis of their cooperative relationship.
Simply put, Darkseid knows that he and Chen Tao have different interests, but fighting against the Anti-Monitor is a consensus, and you are strong enough, so we can still get along;
Now, in Darkseid's view, Batman cannot have enough power to help him defeat the Anti-Monitor to achieve his goal, so the relationship between them will change accordingly.
For example...
Darkseid will no longer be available at any time. He will become the leader in this new relationship. He is very likely to add a new third party to this relationship, such as Night Owl.
He will try to form a community of interests among three people, and try to divert the plan formulated by this community of interests and guide it in a more favorable direction for himself.
Chen Tao has returned to the edge of the Origin Wall.
Just now, he realized that Darkseid had betrayed-
It can't be said to be a betrayal. If you have never been loyal, how can you talk about betrayal?
In short, he had originally planned to take Parallax Monster and Ion Shark into his body, and then go directly to Apokolips to question Darkseid's behavior.
But after flying a little distance from the Origin Wall, he immediately calmed down from the emotions above, and then immediately realized the fallacy in the plan he made in the first reaction.
Not to mention whether he can suppress Darkseid head-on if he cannot fully absorb and control the power of the two lamp beasts-the so-called suppression can only be called suppression if it is completely defeated. If the fight is evenly matched, it will only make the situation worse, so it is better not to fight.
And more importantly, if Darkseid has done this, it means that he has already found his next buyer, and this buyer is most likely Night Owl.
When the time comes, Night Owl and Darkseid will join forces and tell Chen Tao that he needs him to join their alliance to fight the Anti-Monitor. Do you think Chen Tao will join or not?
Facing such a powerful enemy as the Anti-Monitor, he can't give up Night Owl and Darkseid, two powerful fighting forces.
But once he joins, the initiative will not be his. God knows what the other two people will do, but the only thing that is certain is that the earth and the universe will definitely be sacrificed.
Chen Tao thought silently.
But this is not without benefits.
Darkseid's behavior has further strengthened a certain plan in his heart. If he originally felt a little bit of guilt towards Darkseid because of this plan... It's really not much bigger than a fingernail, now this guilt has completely disappeared.
And to some extent, Darkseid's current attack also makes him more confident to persuade someone.
In his previous cooperation with Darkseid, Darkseid certainly had bad intentions, but——
Is he, Chen the Bat, a good thing?
Chen Tao touched his chin, then chuckled twice.
"What are you laughing at, Batman? No, you are not the Batman I know, you dirty fake, you and your dirty world line should be wiped out..."
Chen Tao ignored the Prime Little Superman who was still on the wall not far away.
"How is it, Batman?"
Atrocitus, who was still guarding the wall, asked in a low voice: "Darkseid didn't come?"
Chen Tao waved his hand and asked the leader of the Red Lantern Corps to wait for him for a while.
He originally recruited Atrocitus to let him re-infuse the blood-slaughtering bull into the Prime Little Superman, but this original plan became a joke after Darkseid stood him up.
Whether it was Darkseid's ability to lower Superboy-Prime from the wall, or Darkseid's use of Omega rays and Death Walker to weaken Superboy-Prime, they were irreplaceable. The plan to transform Superboy-Prime into a mentally disturbed lunatic like the transformation of the Turtle Man ended before it even began.
So now he needs some other plans.
A crazy move.
Chen Tao just stared at Superboy-Prime, and then slowly his eyes showed madness.
He didn't know what the consequences of such an act would be, and he was not sure whether it would succeed, but he just planned to give it a try.
"Atrocitus, send a message to Bane." He gave an order to Atrocitus: "Tell him to give up all the tasks at hand and rush here quickly." Chen Tao opened his mouth and vomited out three mother boxes, and handed them to Atrocitus: "You go through the entrance of the Eternal Cellar and pick him up directly. After passing through the Eternal Cellar and reaching the edge of the Origin Wall, open the sonic boom channel and come directly to me. Be quick." "What do you want to do?" Superboy Prime said: "Kill you, I must kill you..." When Superboy Prime saw Atrocitus, his eyes were red. Superboy Prime was deeply ashamed of being controlled by the Blood Slaughter Bull before. Chen Tao was very sure that the Blood Slaughter Bull's control over him would be greatly weakened. And the fear of the Blood Slaughter Bull that Superboy Prime showed now, isn't it his disguise? Don't think that Superboy Prime doesn't use his brain. Although he is like a madman most of the time, it's just because his power is strong enough to make him strong enough to sweep everything. When he was weak and lacked strength, he would also look for helpers and form a team to achieve his goals.
But he misjudged Chen Tao and what Chen Tao wanted to do.
Atrocitus left without saying a word. He saw that Batman was in a bad mood.
So at the edge of the Origin Wall, only Batman and Superboy-Prime were left facing each other.
After a few minutes of yelling and cursing, Superboy-Prime suddenly stopped.
He looked at Batman, and then said slowly: "I can foresee that whether I succeed or fail, it may be difficult for me to talk to you in a sober state."
"So I am very curious..."
"What do you want to do?"
He said: "I suddenly realized... I thought you were going to destroy my brain again, just like you did before."
"But now it seems different."
He looked at Batman thoughtfully: "What do you want to do?"
"What's wrong? Don't you plan to continue to find ways to control this dangerous beast of mine?"
He laughed sarcastically: "You are the tyrant Batman who tries to control everything, the pirated Batman?"
"You are not the same person as the real Batman. You are an Out Of Character's monster."
(Note: OOC, here the Supreme Little Superman is mocking Chen Bat as a pirated copy.)
"Others may have forgotten everything, but I know everything. I remember what kind of guy the real Batman is."
"He is the guardian of the night... He is a hero with noble character, not a twisted monster like you."
"You are not Batman at all, you are something else, you are not worthy of the name of Batman, your existence is an insult to Bruce Wayne himself."
"You kill people, you don't follow the iron rule of not killing. You..."
"You are not perfect."
Batman didn't say anything. He let Superboy Prime curse. They confronted each other for a while, and then Superboy heard Batman speak.
"Here we are."
Next to them, an entrance to a sonic boom tunnel opened, and Atrocitus flew out with Bane. Bane had plant wings made of the green of all things on his back, half of his body was in the stage of control of the black of decay, and there were traces of the beast of the red of all things on his face.
"Bane, I need you to do what you did when you faced Darkseid before."
As soon as Chen Tao opened his mouth, Bane knew what he wanted to do.
This was the tacit understanding between him and Batman.
He asked, "Does it have to be like this?"
"Yes, it has to be like this." Then he heard Batman's words: "And hurry up, I promise to save you."
"Like the last time?"
"I will never give up on you."
"Okay."
Atrocitus looked at Bane on the left and Batman on the right. It was difficult for him to figure out the trust between the two of them, but everything was unspoken.
Chen Tao took a deep breath again.
He plans to use a method to convince the Prime Superboy.
If the Prime Superboy can be convinced, then naturally we are good, but he insists on killing people, won't Chen Tao run away from the Earth and directly seek refuge on Apokolips?
If the Prime Superboy remains rational, then everything can be discussed. At most, he can accept the Prime Superboy as a member of the Trio Alliance and directly turn the Trio Alliance into a Four-Man Council, which is better than Night Owl and Darkseid joining forces to suppress him, Chen Tao.
And more importantly, whether this plan succeeds or fails, it is enough to try.
In any case, Chen Tao has the ability to reach a deal with Darkseid, so as to use Darkseid's ability to communicate with the Origin to save Bane from the wall again.
He will not live up to Bane's trust... He must at least guarantee this first.
After all, a character who can easily replace people from the Origin Wall is not so easy to get.
Haha, of course it is because of this reason, otherwise what do you think?
Bane and Batman's passionate bond?
Then, he blocked Atrocitus and Bane, turned to Superboy-Prime, paused, and said:
"I am a time traveler, Superboy-Prime, just like you."
"Like you, I used to be a comic book reader."
(Note: In the Origin Universe where Superboy-Prime lived, he originally had no superpowers, and Superman was a comic book character, so he really read DC comics.)
