Chapter 522 The terrifying shadow upstream of the super-time stream
"Night Owl's universe is already very close to our world."
Chen Tao thought silently.
The worst-case scenario did not happen after all. Lex Luthor completed his plan brilliantly. It was not that Chen Tao deliberately did not tell Luthor the plan and let him guess blindly, but that he was not sure whether Night Owl had the ability to detect it. Reading Luther's thoughts, if he could, telling Luther all of his plans would only be a bad thing.
Anyway, Luther is smart enough. Even if he doesn't need to tell him, he will definitely be able to figure out what he plans after seeing Nightwing. That's enough.
So now, Chen Tao is waiting. Waiting for the moment when the two universes intersect with each other, he will replace the Anti-Monitor and Superboy Supreme who are still in the sun into Ye Xiao's universe, and then replace the entire cosmic propulsion tower system carefully built by Ye Xiao into his own. universe.
Then Nite Owl's universe will become a victim, and the Anti-Monitor and Superboy-Prime will fight in their universe - as for Superboy-Prime who came out of the sun and is close to his prime?
It's best not to appear in front of him. Chen Tao has tried his best to use the emotional spectrum "love" of the Predator to affect Superboy Supreme's sanity, and the other party has actively connected to the monkey personality's emotions, which has increased even more. this impact.
But when Superboy Supreme comes out of the sun, all this so-called influence will disappear. The only thing Chen Tao can pray for is that these influences can be turned into a little bit of insignificant favorability, so that he will not be in the first place. He dropped everything in front of him and rushed over to kill Chen Tao.
As long as you get through this "first moment", the next thing will be easier to handle.
Then?
Then he planned to throw Superboy-Prime directly in front of the Anti-Monitor, with a clay face next to him playing a melodrama in which Superboy-Prime's lover Laurie was beaten by the Anti-Monitor during "Crisis on Infinite Earths" and then died——
Although Laurie was not killed by the Anti-Monitor himself, the other party simply destroyed the Origin Earth. An ordinary girl like Laurie is not worthy of being killed by the Anti-Monitor himself, but it doesn't matter, we can make up unofficial history.
There's nothing wrong with Laurie's death. There's nothing wrong with the Anti-Monitor's death. Superboy-Prime only knew that Laurie died and was heartbroken, but he didn't see with his own eyes how she died. There's nothing wrong with that.
So it's very simple. We directly change the scene demon into the Anti-Monitor Minotaur Supreme Superboy. We say that the Anti-Monitor wants to kill Laurie first* and then perform a show on the spot for Superboy Prime to strip the clothes of the Anti-Monitor. The whole cuckold sitcom of Superboy is as exciting as it gets.
For specific storyboards, you can refer to the last few episodes of the first season of the anime "Sword Art Online". The tragedy of the crotch was quickly dealt with. How come the vulgarity didn't come off the production line? It's all about the disgusting thing in the crotch of Superboy.
Chen Tao didn't believe it. Any person with a normal mind could withstand this kind of stimulation. At that time, he would feel angry and disgusted. The enemy was right in front of him, and new and old hatreds came to his heart. If in this situation, Superboy Supreme He was able to resist the temptation to fight with the Anti-Monitor. Instead, he left the opponent and flew to his universe to kill Chen Bat first. Then Chen Tao could just admit defeat.
Manipulating a person does not necessarily require actual technological or magical control. Sometimes one can achieve one's purpose just by fiddling with facts and stirring up emotions. People are unreasonable when their emotions get the best of them. Even though they know it may be an instigation, they will jump in without hesitation.
But compared to these plans that have been fully prepared...
It was the attitude of the anti-monitors that made Chen Tao even more worried.
The answer is also simple, because the Anti-Monitor does not look like he is going all out at this time.
Chen Tao was already prepared to make a very tragic sacrifice. Just in case, he even called William Hand out of the sun in advance, ended his speed training, and then let him stand on the spot. Their universe has a plan to release the Black Death Emperor.
Anyway, as long as the seven lights do not come together, the Blackest Night cannot happen. Although this prophecy makes the Blackest Night inevitable, it also restrains the Black Death Emperor, making it impossible for him to achieve complete victory even if William Hand dies. Gesture invades Chen Tao's universe...
For the glowing Superboy-Prime, this is certainly a relatively less troublesome opponent, at least not so impossible to fight against.
But all the plans were in vain. The Anti-Monitor simply fought with the members of the Justice League who had collectively become gods. Chen Tao did not feel that obtaining Darkseid's divine power was enough. They had persisted for so long under the Anti-Monitor, especially since Chen Tao had stripped away one of Darkseid's most powerful powers:
The Omega Effect.
The remaining power is impossible no matter what...
"Drink!" Superman, who became the God of Power, punched hard. Clark had been weak for a long time. At this time, he was so powerful that he had endless power.
He hit the Anti-Monitor in the face with his fist, causing the opponent's huge body to fall to the sky. Wonder Woman followed closely, and Diana swung her sword, slashing the Anti-Monitor until sparks flew out.
Other members of the Justice League followed suit and fired their bows left and right, as if they were pushing the Anti-Monitor to the ground and beating him.
too……
Too fake.
Chen Tao simply couldn't understand why the Anti-Monitor did this. Could it be that he blocked the opponent outside his own universe for just 15 days and the opponent suddenly became so weak? This is impossible.
The other party must have some unknown reason, and this reason must be information that Chen Tao does not know now and has not collected in advance. It is some kind of change that even if he invaded the other party's memory, he could not detect it. Happened to the Anti-Monitor.
This feeling is very bad.
But no matter what, what the Anti-Monitor is doing now is beneficial to Chen Tao. No matter what the other party is planning, as long as he accumulates strength, the moment the two universes overlap, he will defeat the Anti-Monitor. Kick him to the other side, then throw Superboy-Prime over, and part 1 of his plan is complete.
As for plans for Phase 2…
Thinking of this, Chen Tao suddenly fell silent for a while.
He hasn't decided yet... He hasn't decided whether to really do that.
After all, if part 1 of the plan was fully completed, then he and his universe would be safe! He could completely ignore what would happen to Night Owl's universe, and then quietly enjoy the rest of his happy retirement life.
When Dark Night Metal happens and the portals of the two multiverses open to accommodate an entire universe, they sneak into the light multiverse and continue to linger, waiting for the Justice League of the main universe to defeat Barbatos, the dragon of the dark multiverse. Falling flowers and running water - isn't it?
Does he really need to execute part 2 of his plan? Did he really need to rush to death in such a hurry?
He really...
Chen Tao shook his head.
Now is not the time to think about this...
Not yet.
…

…
"The Anti-Monitor seems to have changed tactics, Lord Barbatos."
The killing machine squatted in front of a small strange machine. There was a small display screen on the thing, and the back was connected to the dark spire.
There was darkness on the screen, and the deep, rich darkness almost condensed into water droplets. Even though the killing machines couldn't see anyone on the screen, he knew their master was there...the master of the Dark Knights.
The Dragon of the Dark Multiverse, Barbatos.
"Where's the Laughing Bat?"
he heard the other person ask.
"The Laughing Bat collects children in this world, injects them with dark energy, and transforms them into his own Robin Dogs. Therefore, I can only report to you."
The killing machine's words didn't sound provocative at all. From his perspective, Alfred's silhouette stood beside him, whispering to him quietly: "Yes, that's right, my little Bruce, You must take away the status of the Laughing Bat so that you can be completely safe... No one can threaten you, and no one can compromise your safety!"
Killing Machine heard his old butler say: "My little Bruce...oh, my beloved little Bruce...so that we can be together forever and never be apart again!"
"The Anti-Monitor is no longer obsessed with killing Batman. According to the intelligence we snooped, he seems to have discovered something, and seems to be determined to let Batman go... and then destroy Nite Owl's inferior universe. This means that Bat The hero will escape calmly without having to swallow the Anti-Monitor's heart when he has no choice..."
But before the killing machine could finish speaking, he saw the screen turn to black. This time it was a real black screen, and he clearly felt that Barbatos had disconnected from him and didn't even bother to say any more nonsense to him.
"My friend, being a father will seriously damage your intelligence, hee hee." Then the killing machine heard the voice of the Laughing Bat coming from behind.
His body stiffened.
In his ears, only he could see the phantom of Alfred constantly shouting to him, asking him to kill the Laughing Bat to ensure his own safety, but the killing machine did not do that.
"Oh, Bruce, Bruce." He heard the Laughing Bat say: "Why don't you understand? The Dark Multiverse is the domain of our master, the Dragon of the Dark Multiverse, Barbatos. Prevent Barbatos from entering that universe. "Bruce imbues himself with his own dark powers, imposes his own whispers, and the only thing standing in the way of turning him into one of us is Batman himself."
The Laughing Bat gracefully passed by the killing machine. Beside him, a Robin dog with an iron chain around its neck crawled on its hands and feet, and then offered the Laughing Bat a cup of bright red blood-like liquid. of red wine.
The Laughing Bat swung the glass of red wine, and then leaned against the small dark multiverse communicator made by the killing machine.
"So the heart of the Anti-Monitor is not important, what is important is the corruption of Batman in that universe, do you understand?"
The killing machine felt that there was some sadness in the Laughing Bat's words, but it seemed like an illusion or a performance by the other party to play with people's hearts.
"Once the bottom line is breached, the landslide effect will be unstoppable. Once he does that, Barbatos will be able to send the energy of the dark multiverse to him without any scruples. Isn't he going to sacrifice Nite Owl's universe now? "
The Laughing Bat spread his hands: "Let him do this. It is equivalent to embracing Barbatos. If he thinks that he is not willing to use the Anti-Monitor's heart, he can escape from Barbatos' control and escape the Dark Multiverse. Destiny, that would be too naive! Just like I thought I could concoct an antidote to the clown virus or avoid that fate without killing the clown, right?"
The Laughing Bat began to laugh again, it was like epilepsy, and it was like a lunatic—well, it was indeed a lunatic laugh. From the perspective of the killing machine, Alfred began to burst out crazily again, killing non-stop. The machine's ear urged him to take action.
The Laughing Bat's Robin Hound barked at the killing machine.
The Laughing Bat continued as if he didn't hear it: "Barbatos has the means to completely pull that Batman into darkness. When that Batman becomes Barbatos' puppet, like you and me, oh!"
He whistled as if it was a proud thing to be a lackey and a puppet, and as if such emotions were completely performed by him.
"The teaching has been completed!"
"so……"
"So we don't need to do anything. We just need to wait here quietly for Barbatos to turn that unlucky guy into our colleague. Since he didn't give us instructions, we don't need to rush there. , you can still wait for a rest in this universe... Bruce, Bruce, do you understand the other party's thoughts? "
The Laughing Bat gently patted his "companion" controlled by exhibitionism and insecurity.
He looked very laid-back, like a kid walking around on the street.
"But I still think there's something wrong with the Anti-Monitor. He seems to be deliberately not antagonizing Batman."
Killing Machine said. The Laughing Bat shrugged: "Oh, of course, my friend. This is entirely possible."
"But what's the point? Lord Barbatos always likes to take over everything. Wouldn't it be better to let him do what he wants this time?"
The Laughing Bat's voice is careless, like a lazy cat.
"Since he didn't ask us to go to that universe, what does the occurrence of all this have to do with us?"
The killing machine heard the Laughing Bat chuckle and said, "Anyway, for me, everything is as planned."
…
…
…
I was the Anti-Monitor, and I originally planned to kill Batman directly to get rid of the fate that Barbatos had assigned to me.
I have every reason to do that, and I have the ability. As long as I smash this fate, I can completely break away from Barbatos' control, and then continue to execute the task of taking advantage of the window of the death of the World Forger to strengthen myself and completely replace the name of the Anti-Monitor. No. plan.
But halfway through executing this plan, I suddenly discovered...
It seems like I'm not alone in my body.
It wasn't Barbatos, but another one, some kind of terrifying figure staring at me from the upper reaches of the super-time flow.
