Chapter 611: The strongest power leveler, Parallax Demon Hal, the emperor clown in the Laughing Bat
For Chen Tao, Hal the Parallax is not so much an uncontrollable tiger as a train that is persistently moving along a predetermined track.
Treating other people's suspicious eyes as will-o'-the-wisp and walking your own night road with confidence and boldness, this certainly sounds like the life code of a successful person, but Hal the Parallax has become completely crazy.
Ignoring the actual situation, human ethics, and intending to override all living beings, "I think this is good for everyone" has made him cross the bottom line of a hero and become a complete villain, but even so, there is still one thing that can be confirmed:
Hal Jordan still thinks he is a good person, which is the most essential difference between him and the Emperor Joker and the Laughing Bat.
Therefore, although in fact, Chen Tao has always been very clear that he will definitely face Hal the Parallax one day, at least for now, the conflict between them is not so sharp.
Chen Tao has every reason to suspect that the Laughing Bat is using his hand to complete his plan again.
This is exactly what the Laughing Bat likes to do. Chen Tao can say that in this world, when the name of the Laughing Bat has not yet resounded throughout the multiverse, no one knows the Laughing Bat better than him.
He knows that this is the first time he and Laughing are in the true sense of the word, a veritable first kill. He knows a lot about Laughing, which is his biggest advantage.
The Laughing Bat always likes to use heroes to get what he wants. For example, in "Death Metal", the heroes were busy for a long time, persuading Superboy Prime, Darkseid and the Anti-Monitor, and finally all the crisis forces collected were swallowed by the Laughing Bat who had tampered with the Mobius Chair, directly strengthening Laughing into one of the most powerful lives in the multiverse!
Everyone stand up, everyone, do you see, from head to toe, everything the heroes did was in Laughing's plan, he became a god! ! ! Hahahahahahaha! ! !
It is precisely because he has read the comics and knows the criminal record of the Laughing Bat that Chen Tao can try to speculate the possible actions of the Laughing Bat based on such behavior patterns.
Chen Tao's previous actions...
The traces of being guided are not very obvious.
The invasion of the Black Death Emperor requires the spirit of existence. It is impossible to enter the world controlled by the Black Death Emperor, so a wizard is needed. The Laughing Bat suddenly finds the Horror Lantern and others to invade...
The development of these things seems very reasonable. Normal people's thinking can never turn to the direction of what the Laughing Bat is going to do. However, if Chen Tao makes a presumption of guilt in advance and reversely deduce that "everything is in the plan of the Laughing Bat" as an established fact, it is easy to see some unreasonable points.
For example, did he really invade the lair of the Laughing Bat so easily, and then rescued so many Bruces by accident, and then he was so coincidental that he could use their emotional energy to summon Bat-Mite?
This is too coincidental, just like a puzzle.
Although the Laughing Bat seemed to have no idea that the Emperor Clown had the ability to invade reality, and he did look very embarrassed, could it be that he was acting?
Chen Tao was completely caught up in the conspiracy theory, but in fact, he had misunderstood this point: the Laughing Bat did not expect that the Emperor Clown would still have so much strength, and he did not expect Chen Tao to be so quick. Taking advantage of the extra time caused by this accident, he not only rescued those Bruces, but also moved his entire Laughing Bat Cave bare like a whirlwind.
Fortunately, the pool that produced the Laughing Robins was embedded in the ground, and the Laughing Bat sent those Laughing Robins out to do something else in advance. This pool was a source of living water, and the spring could not be taken away. Otherwise, the other party might even move the pool away, leaving a mud pit for the Laughing Bat to use as a bathtub.
So at this moment, Chen Tao was still making presupposed inferences.
The Laughing Bat is a ruthless man. He even bet his life to trick me. If he is caught by the Emperor Clown, the dark energy injected by Barbatos can indeed protect him from being killed, but the Emperor Clown buried him in the upper reaches of the super-time stream. What is the difference between that and death?
But I, Chen the Bat, have seen through everything. No matter how embarrassed the Laughing Bat behaves, all this should be in the opponent's plan.
And if everything is in plan, then it means that my kidnapping of these ordinary Bruces and the idea of "I want to use these Bruces to summon Bat Mites" are also the result of the opponent's induction.
So what is the final goal of the Laughing Bat? What kind of strategic result does he need to achieve by doing all this?
Chen Tao thinks that the other party has gone through so much trouble, and taking his life is definitely one of the goals.
So if we try to reverse the process of this very likely result, a 1/4 dark multiverse dragon like Chen Tao can no longer be solved by ordinary means, unless the Laughing Bat forces him to fight to the death with the Emperor Clown.
Of course Chen Tao would not accept this competition. The Laughing Bat probably wanted to use some method to pull him in front of the Emperor Joker in the upper stream of the super time stream, and Chen Tao wanted to ensure that...
It was not him who appeared in front of the Emperor Joker, but a full-level power leveler.
"What conspiracy are you playing?" He heard the voice of Reverse Flash: "Sorry, Hal, that perfect world will definitely come, there must be something wrong, I will find a way to make him..."
"I have been waiting for this moment for a long time." But then he heard Batman say to Hal's face that appeared on the building.
"I know you, Parallax Magic Hal. I know your consciousness. I have heard you and seen your idea of creating a perfect world. You have never found me, so I can only take the initiative to find you. ”
Chen Tao tries his best to make his voice sound sincere. Acting is his specialty. At this point, he is as cunning as a clown.
"What do you want, Batman?" Parallax Hal paused for a moment and asked quietly.
To be honest, this kind of Batman makes him a little uncomfortable. In his era, Batman is always the most principled person. He has the same rule of no killing as Superman.
He knew that Batman Bruce Wayne would never agree to his plan to reshape the timeline and create a perfect world, but the Bruce in front of him showed such unusual enthusiasm for his plan, which made him almost You have to suspect that the other party actually doesn't understand what he wants to do.
"Same as your goal, an opportunity to eliminate dirty and evil villains." Chen Tao said.
"I have been fighting for many years, many years! And the new crisis will never let me go, it will always drive me into it, and then it starts over and over again. I really have had enough. I and my world live every day. On the brink of destruction."
Chen Tao said: "In order to solve a problem, I created a bigger problem, and then I knew that I had to solve this problem myself. I once thought I could live quietly in Fiji, but I didn't It was like fireworks exploding for a long time, and it didn’t stop for a moment.”
"What do I want, you ask? Like Reverse-Flash, I want a perfect world where I can retire."
So far this is relatively normal.
"Is that so? Yes, as long as I succeed..."
Parallax Magic Hal originally wanted to say: As long as I succeed, everything will calm down. All villains will be imprisoned in prisons from which they can never escape, and there will never be another crisis.
But he only said half of the first sentence before he heard Batman's next words.
"And killing those hopeless villains is the first step to creating a perfect world!"
Chen Tao's eyes widened and he said in an excited tone that Inspector Mohar didn't quite agree with: "We are going to arrest all the villains, the Emperor, the Clown, the Laughing Bat, and that Barbatos. Let's gather them together. Get up and lock them in a sealed room and put toxic greenhouse gases inside so they will soon feel the pain I have felt."
His expression gradually distorted, from a sorrowful feeling of disgust to a twisted fanaticism: "If there are still bastards who are not willing to obey our orders, we will kill them all and turn the rest into slaves!"
"Well……"
Immediately afterwards, Chen Tao began to crazily steal lines from the Marvel Punisher next door. He was an anti-hero who massacred criminals. In terms of values, he was even more brutal than the Red Hood in DC.
At least the core idea of the second generation Robin is that we can't kill all the criminals, so we have to control crime. But for the Punisher, there is no such thing as killing all the criminals. As long as there is a crime, there is no trial. The same It doesn’t exist either, just kill it and that’s it!
And what follows are his classic quotes.
"To be honest, I really don't understand how many people don't know such a simple math problem: kill a bad guy and save a good guy."
"If the evil act of killing turns a good person into a bad person, then as long as I kill enough, I will be the only bad person left in the world."
These words are logically self-consistent, and the actions guided by this theory seem to be very correct. For Parallax Magic Hal, it is a bit excessive, but an attractive experience.
Immediately afterwards came the sublimated plot, with Chen Tao firmly driving the emotions of inspecting Mo Haer.
"Listen to me, Hal, I am a mistake, a being from the other side of darkness, and you are a god with the ability to reshape reality, but you are trapped on the other side of the hyper-time stream."
"Only after you come to reality, you can help my universe rise to the positive material universe, without having to endure the sorrow caused by innate defects and the horrific fate of the dark multiverse."
"That's enough, put away your glib words." Chen Tao heard Parallax Demon Hal say.
He scolded in a low voice: "Who do you want to use me against?"
These words sounded unusually sober, but Chen Tao knew that Hal's attitude had softened.
This is essentially the same as shouting "I don't want to be kissed by you" when flirting. It's all duplicity.
But there is another point...the emotional language is too naked, and the provocative meaning is too obvious. Even if Chen Tao's sincere acting weakens part of this perception, the flaw still exists.
Chen Tao knew what he needed to do to get rid of Hal's feeling of being used.
He took out the previously removed head of the Laughing Bat from the different space opened by the Metal Spirit.
The head of the Laughing Bat was smiling brightly, and Chen Tao also squeezed next to him and smiled.
"You are a hero, Hal. We have always known you were a hero. People of your time did not understand you. They could not agree with your determination to create a perfect world."
He looked at Hal's face condensed on the building.
"I am just an unlucky guy with status but no power. If I could really pull you from the upper reaches of the super time stream to the present, I swear I would have planned to do so long ago. Every day, every day, I work hard to protect the countless people in the dark multiverse, but things will never go as I wish."
No one knows how sincere Chen Tao's tone is, or maybe there is some sincerity in his words?
"I feel like Sisyphus who can never push the boulder to the top of the mountain." He lamented: "Every time I want to achieve a good ending, I have to put everything on the gamble table, or it's just luck."
"This makes me too tired, too tired."
He raised his head to Hal.
"If the world is perfect, do I not have to bear such a burden?"
He paused, and then Chen Tao silently counted down in his heart.
3, 2, 1.
"What do you want me to do?"
New teammates have appeared.
……
……
……
The upper reaches of the super time stream.
"Mm, it tastes good, my court jester."
The Emperor Joker used a sharp fork to fork off the small bowl of fruit presented to him by Lex Luthor, who had been transformed into a court by him.
In fact, if the Emperor Joker wanted, he could use the power of modifying reality at any time to create a much more abundant fruit feast than the one Lex Luthor presented to him, but he just liked to see Lex trying to do so.
Just like the monkey performance in the circus, no one really wants to know the answer to the math problem solved by the monkey, they just like to watch a monkey do math problems.
Lois Lane, the queen of the Emperor Joker, sat next to him. At this time, they were watching on the TV screen, Superman was being hunted by countless super villains and Bizarro, who had become a real Superman.
Even in such a critical situation, Superman Clark was still fighting back desperately, but this counterattack was just an interesting game for the Emperor Joker.
What the Emperor Joker wanted to know more than these was how to leave the current timeline that had already happened and was determined to be dead.
The Emperor Clown didn't know how he was defeated in this timeline and lost the power of the troublemaker. He took the initiative to erase and give up this part of his memory in order to stay as far away from the time point of his failure as possible.
He didn't have much time to escape.
When he realized this, even the fruit offered to him by Luther was not so delicious.
But at this moment, the Emperor Clown felt that someone was using some kind of magic ritual to communicate with him downstream of the super time flow.
What's there to hesitate about? The Emperor Clown responded to the communication immediately. No matter who made the choice of this communication, the Emperor Clown could exert influence on that person, unless the other party was...
"Laughing Bat, are you calling me???"
