Chapter 507 The Anti-Monitor Arrives
"You have to help Batman, Darkseid, it's hard for him to fight the Anti-Monitor by himself."
Darkseid looked up indifferently and looked at Batman's universe not far away, recalling the conversation between Nite Owl and him.
If he wanted to abandon this universe and leave, he would have done so long ago.
The leader of the New Gods, the leader of the New Creation Star, the counterpart of Darkseid, the Highfather, his brother who claimed that he would bring peace to the universe and defeat the evil Darkseid, After realizing that the arrival of the Anti-Monitor was inevitable, he immediately chose to escape with New Genesis, and even ruthlessly abandoned the hostages he had left on Apokolips due to Metron's peace agreement. Mister Miracle Scott Free.
Of course, the new god Father Heaven drove the new creation star to escape to other multiverses for refuge, and the old gods on earth were not much better.
Darkseid meets Diana Prince Wonder Woman. The daughter of Zeus, but when she went to Mount Olympus to ask for help, she must have had a wonderful expression when she found that the entire Olympus pantheon had disappeared. All the gods had escaped from their world, like Even Vulcan, who had the best relationship with Diana, did not inform Diana in advance of the vole that escaped from the mouse hole before the tsunami.
All those who could escape have fled, except for the cosmic overlords like the Galaxy Puppet and Lady Styx, who are caught in the middle, and they are now taking care of Nite Owl. Regardless of whether they have the idea of killing Night Owl in the future and turning against guests, at least for now? They are dedicated allies.
But Darkseid is different...he's different from everyone else.
He could have run away, his strength was enough for him to take Apokolips and escape gracefully, just like his brother, but Darkseid didn't do that.
This is of course due to the noble sentiments of protecting one's own universe, as well as the determination and courage to fight to the death for one's own universe as the Lord of Apokolips and the overlord of the universe.
Darkseid's sense of responsibility is enough to kill Heavenly Father and the Olympians instantly. He can be called a moral model in the new era. He is a living saint who is not afraid of death or fatigue!
Well, the above is all bullshit. The real reason is that Darkseid saw an opportunity, a chance to steal something from the fire: to seize the Anti-Monitor's Anti-Life Equation.
When Night Owl persuaded him to help Batman face the Anti-Monitor on the most dangerous front line, Darkseid flatly refused without thinking. He is not a player at the level of Galaxy Puppet and Lady Styx. In his relationship with Ye Xiao, he is the more powerful one.
Night Owl also needs Darkseid to help him coordinate the energy transmitted from the hearts of the planets to every corner of the universe. Therefore, even in the exchange of interests, Night Owl's influence on him is weaker than ordinary people imagine.
What Darkseid wants is to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and then come out to pick up the leaks, instead of suddenly jumping in when the snipe and the clam are fighting, and then making everyone wary of him, and even withstanding attacks from both sides. .
And from the bottom of his heart, he didn't think Batman could defeat the Anti-Monitor. His stay here was more of a desire to try.
But that all changed when Night Owl revealed to him Batman's plans for Superboy-Prime. He has understood the power of Superboy-Prime, and even the Dark Lord has to admit that Superboy-Prime's power and arrogance are unreasonable.
If Batman puts this powerful and crazy Kryptonian into the sun, then Batman's chance of victory is likely to be there, and accordingly, this is also what Darkseid wants to see.
Therefore, he may indeed have to help Batman, at least until Superboy-Prime returns from the sun. The next plan is to improvise. For Darkseid, he does not need an overly complicated plan, his own power is a heavyweight bargaining chip.
Wait for Nite Owl to open his own universe near Batman's universe, and then fulfill their planned commitment to evacuate innocent people on Earth. No matter what happens, Darkseid can still escape easily.
Night Owl cannot do without him. Darkseid knows this very well. No one in this world has the same mastery of the Omega Effect as him, and only he can help Night Owl sort out the energy of the heart of the planet and then accelerate the entire universe. . It is as necessary as the water cooling system of the vehicle.
Night Owl needs him, and his existence is irreplaceable, so Night Owl will definitely drive his universe to take him back and bring back the "water cooling device" and "central control system" Darkseid he needs.
Therefore, if you win, you will gain blood, and if you lose, it will just continue to maintain the escape plan, so what reason does Darkseid have not to give it a try?
…
…
…
Hall of Justice.
All come together.
"...Remember, everyone, the mobile current device invented by Luther and Lucius allows you to charge me while maintaining activity. This assisted charging may cause errors in your movements, but before each charge, Please pay attention to whether you agree to help or not. Only after you confirm it will the backpack machine put weight on you. "
Chen Tao said: "Okay, I have nothing more to say."
He looked around at everyone with solemn expressions: "Our plan is to delay time and wait for Night Owl to drive his universe close to our universe and overlap. Are there any questions? Everyone?"
There was silence, Hal, Wonder Woman, Arlene Sue, Martian Manhunter... Even Thunder Shazam, the most out-of-the-box thinking child, was silent at this time.
"This time I will personally be the main attacker. Members of the Rogue Gang, you should help provide weather-changing long-range attack assistance. The main battlefield this time... I'm sorry."
"Is this really necessary? Batman?" Everyone in the Rogue Gang looked at each other. After Chen Tao said so much, they were the first to break the silence.
Then Captain Cold asked on behalf of the entire gang of rogues: "You shared the memory of the last failure with me, which means we have already failed once. I didn't understand why you wanted to turn everyone into that weird thing. Monster, I originally planned to question you...but now...will you fight with us?"
Chen Tao was stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong with this?"
"No, no, no, I mean usually, man, usually you need us to help you do something, and then it's actually part of a grand plan." Thunder Shazam raised his hand like a child next to him. Hands, although he is indeed a child.
He said: "Then you will use the time we delayed to implement your grand plan. When facing Darkseid and Brainiac, we all relied on delaying time to obtain the final victory, but this time Well, you don’t do this anymore? We are curious... or a little anxious.”
He waved his hand, and then continued: "I know you said Superboy Prime, and we know that super powerful super monster. But you didn't explain everything."
Shazam stood up and looked around at the people around him: "Hey guys, am I the only one who wants to know? Am I the only one who wants to figure out what we should do with Superboy-Prime after he comes out of the sun? According to his power , none of us can defeat him. If he defeats the Anti-Monitor and we cannot control him, then... what should we do? "
Then Shazam Lightspeed apologized: "Sorry Bat, I just wanted to ask, that's all."
Chen Tao was silent. He didn't speak. Then Diana broke the deadlock: "There is no point in asking so many questions. Everyone is ready to fight!"
As soon as Diana finished speaking, no one agreed with her. Even Hal sat on the chair with his arms folded, but then a warning sounded on the Batcomputer next to him:
"Warning, approaching Quad Star detected."
This news reminder directly killed their discussion at the moment. Everyone knew that the discussion was over now and it was time for them to get ready.
Hal lowered his arms and stood up from the chair, and then green light surrounded his body, making him float slightly from the ground.
"I just want to tell you that I will always believe in you, Batman." He whispered: "We will fight for this!"
He took the lead and flew out of the conference room, followed closely by Arlene Su.
She floated past Batman and gently pressed her red palm on his shoulder: "If my brother and Sinestro were still here, they would do the same thing. Batman, I will lead Huang Members of the Lantern Corps and Green Lantern Corps complete their tactical arrangements."
Then she flew out.
Martian Manhunter followed. He walked in front of Batman and whispered: "We will definitely win. I have never doubted this."
"Bat, wasn't it appropriate for me to ask those questions just now?" Thunder Shazam quietly asked Chen Tao in a low voice, and then he muttered: "But I just want to know what the plan is."
Then he said with a lump of phlegm stuck in his throat: "I have a plan."
Then he saw Batman staring at him like a statue.
"Aha, aha...I'm leaving first."
Shazam didn't go out through the door, but flew out through the window, following in the footsteps of the others.
Neptune Arthur and Mela followed Shazam. Mela didn't say much but when Arthur walked past Chen Tao, he whispered to him:
"I have solved Lord Orm's matter, and he has received the last memory. All Atlanteans have been equipped with charging devices, and Lord Orm will also fight for our world. As for me... I have already made up my mind.”
Chen Tao nodded. His attention only focused briefly after Arthur said that Lord Orm had been solved, and then began to scatter.
He didn't know what the realization that King Arthur was talking about was. He was so busy thinking about other things that he didn't notice the abnormality in Arthur's tone and the determination in his tone.
Arthur deliberately waited until Mela was walking in front of him and said these words to Batman. Even a superhuman like Mela would ignore it if he didn't deliberately concentrate on listening to what Aquaman Arthur said to Batman. These little details.
Arthur's Trident of the Sea King paused on the floor, and he quickly chased Mela out: "Wait for me, my dear..."
"When this is over, we want to rob a *** bank."
Captain Leng, the leader of the rogue gang, said to Chen Tao.
Chen Tao didn't pay attention to what bank he was talking about. Anyway, the fees for rogue gangs to rob banks are now used as their wages. Bank employees can also get commissions if they are lucky enough to be robbed by rogue gangs. This model has been run very skillfully, regardless of whether they Whichever bank you want to rob, you will get a VIP-like money withdrawal experience.
So Chen Tao just nodded absently: "Yes, yes, yes."
The rogue helped them go out contentedly.
Killer Croc and Poison Ivy, a group of Gotham people, are related to the red of all things and the green of all things. Chen Tao has arranged them and Superman Clark Kent in these two magical natural energy dimensions in advance, specifically preparing for the time. Instead of the effect of Natasha's irony magic in the Night Owl universe, they are not here at this time.
At this moment, only Wonder Woman Diana Prince and Chen Tao were left in the room.
Diana walked up to Chen Tao and had already pulled out her sword.
"The female warriors of Paradise Island are ready." There was a complicated and unspeakable expression in her voice. She started with the events on Paradise Island, and then said: "The gods of Olympus have all fled."
"I know." Chen Tao nodded: "It's not surprising at all."
"Yeah." Wonder Woman was silent, holding her sword and planning to move forward, and then she heard Batman's voice.
"After this is over, let's have dinner at Wayne Manor."
Diana turned her head sharply, her eyes sparkling.
"Okay. Just in time, I'll give you a gift too."
Then she said this, and then she became happy and raised her sword high in joy: "For the Justice League! In the name of the Justice League! In the name of the existence of the entire universe!"
Then she shouted in a low, almost imperceptible voice: "In...in the name of Batman!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly turned her face away, worried that Batman would hear what she said, but also worried that Batman wouldn't be able to hear it.
She quietly observed the expression on Batman's face and found that he seemed completely unaware, so she concluded with some disappointment and panic:
"We will defeat the Anti-Monitor!"
After making the conclusion, Chen Tao watched the Amazon female warrior boiling with fighting spirit leave, and followed closely behind.
Unlike his hot-blooded comrades, he often has worries in his heart...
He had been thinking... everyone... everyone thought he had figured out how to control Superboy-Prime, everyone mistakenly thought he had the ability to make Superboy-Prime fight against the Anti-Monitor, everyone mistakenly thought He was confident.
But the fact is...
In his prime, Superboy-Prime had no control whatsoever.
He...he has absolutely no choice...
When he flew out of the Hall of Justice and passed through the sonic tunnel, what appeared in front of him was the vast land of Quad Star, and the Anti-Monitor who stood there leisurely watching all the ants-like members of the Justice League.
"Hello everyone."
he said.
