Chapter 641 The beast within and the unyielding soul!
You should know.
When you stare at your opponent, your opponent is also staring at you.
If you want to be as unpredictable and elusive as clouds and mist, you must jump out of the original framework...
Do the opposite.
Standing next to the heartbroken Reverse Flash, Chen Tao stared at the dark night that was generated not far away. He knew that the World Forger must be in his deepest corner, staring at him across the vast night sky.
Only him, and it can only be him. In this current timeline where the Monitor has lost most of his power and the Anti-Monitor even has only a brain left, who else can play with the power of the sixth dimension except the World Forger?
It's late at night.
Although time is not a meaningful thing for the Reverse Flash's universe, the night is already late.
And the night is Batman's home court.
Chen Tao pondered.
In the deep darkness, countless black lamp corpses were roaring and raging, spreading the authority of the Black Death Emperor to the whole world. The Blackest Night covered the sky... This was unreasonable. The birth of the Blackest Night was constrained by the establishment of the Seven Lantern Corps. If the Spectral War had not started, the Blackest Night would not have come. This is why it was not so easy for the Black Death Emperor to invade Chen Tao's universe.
But at this time, this principle has been broken.
Although Chen Tao recruited yellow, green, red, cyan, purple, and blue from his own universe, the orange lamp Lafleze was still missing. According to reason, the prerequisite for the Blackest Night has not been met.
But there has never been any unbreakable guarantee in the dark multiverse.
When you think "it won't be like that", it may be a precursor to the bubble breaking.
Maybe it was William Hand, the agent, who gave the Black Death Emperor power, or maybe Brainiac and Barbatos assisted the Black Death Emperor with their own divine power, but now, for the world of Reverse Flash, the advent of the Blackest Night is an established fact.
But the good news is that, due to the special nature of Black Death Emperor as the spokesman of death, even though Barbatos and Brainiac must have contributed to the advent of the darkest night, they still cannot go beyond Black Death Emperor to interfere with the purity of this night——
Black Death Emperor will never allow them to mix their power in, this is the instinct of the spokesman of death, and he cannot go against his nature.
In short, at this time when the darkest night is getting more and more intense, Chen Tao should have contacted William Hand and borrowed his power to try to cooperate inside and outside to end this darkest night. He had reserved the power of counterattack for William in advance, which should have been the safest choice.
But for Chen Tao... no.
A first-class tactical master only needs to fight once to understand the other party's heart and understand each other in the collision as light as a feather.
Chen Tao stood up, and he heard the Reverse Flash beside him chuckle.
That was a lament for the impending decline of his own world, and also a cry of knowing that he was powerless to change all this. He had thought about surrendering, but even surrendering was a luxury for him.
But Reverse Flash didn't understand, he didn't understand.
But Chen Tao still wanted to say it, he wanted to say it to Reverse Flash, and also to himself.
"Through the opponent's habits, I am certainly able to detect the opponent's weaknesses, but I can also detect my habits in the opponent's gaze."
Chen Tao said: "And the opportunity to become stronger is buried in every moment of overcoming habits."
"What are you talking about." He heard Reverse Flash say: "Do something, bastard, at least let me go, let me restart my universe once-"
"It's useless." Chen Tao told the other party: "No matter how many times the universe is restarted, the Black Death Emperor's Darkest Night will only come faster. The result of your doing so is just to constantly waste the cautious energy of your universe, and then drag your universe into nothingness faster. At that time, the universe will be completely destroyed, and the souls of all living creatures will still return to the kingdom of the Black Death Emperor."
"Then what do you say?" Reverse Flash said desperately.
"It's very simple." He heard Batman say, "I plan to fight head-on this time."
"What?"
Reverse Flash didn't know what Batman wanted to do. He took a deep breath, forced down the restless anger in his heart, and tried to appease him as much as possible.
He also had a plan to use the ability to restart the timeline to keep his universe constant at one day forever. It hasn't ended yet, and he can still... Then he only saw Batman opening his hands to the night: "I'm used to taking shortcuts. I'm used to making moves in advance and launching them secretly, and this will definitely become the basis for the other party to predict me. But they got one thing wrong. Batman, like the Joker, has never had a fixed behavior pattern. Trying to analyze Batman is a more ridiculous attempt than analyzing the Joker."
No, no, no, I would rather you have a fixed behavior pattern.
"I know those ways of doing things are my habits, and it's not easy to overcome habits."
He turned around and looked at Reverse Flash, and then said: "This requires you to re-examine your heart. Those forms and methods that you once relied on so much, those obsessions that you are unwilling to change because of fear, are like shackles that bind you one after another."
"And the so-called strong man is one who conquers the restless beast in his heart in a desperate situation, smashes all the shackles after re-understanding his inner fear, reverses his behavior pattern again and again, breaks through his limits again and again, and moves towards a new self..."
"Unyielding soul!"
Reverse Flash stared at Chen Tao blankly. He didn't know, and didn't understand. Chen Tao seemed to be talking to him, and seemed to be shouting at himself.
Batman stretched out his hand to Reverse Flash, and then the next second, endless blue light bloomed in his palm. The surging blue light energy lit up from the soles of Chen Tao's feet, spread over his calves with explosive muscles, and now extended to his thighs, and then spread to his cape, rendering him blue.
In the depths of the dark multiverse, when a Lois Lane with tears in his eyes sat in front of Clark Kent's grave, his eyes had already lit up red.
His Superman had temporarily escaped the fate of resurrection and then death again because of a giant dragon swaying and flying from outside their universe, but soon, the misfortune of the dark multiverse still happened to them.
So at this time, Lois Lane was already furious. He was about to transform into the killing angel he should have become, the female Superman who had completely fallen into darkness, shed blood and tears, and killed people like crazy.
But at this critical moment, she lowered her head in surprise and saw that her whole body was emitting a bright blue light.
That was the blue of hope.
This intense blue light condensed and shone in front of her, and then Lois raised her hand without any instruction, lying in mid-air, and then the blue hammer lit up in her hand. She swung the hammer and gently tapped the air in mid-air. Then the next moment, a brand new blue light ring was shaped in mid-air with her hammering, and finally became a reality in a vague way.
No, it was not a complete blue light ring. The ring did not have the symbol of the OA star, but a small, pointed bat head with pointed ears erected.
Supergirl Louise raised the ring in surprise, and the blue light uniform appeared on her body. The blue light gently smoothed her frowning brows due to despair, spread over her forearms and thighs, and dissipated the pain that was deep in her bones, and then flew over her forehead and lifted Louise's hair.
All of this was as if Clark Kent, who was dead in the universe, had crossed time to comfort his lover.
Hope brings you strength, and hope also comforts you. Supergirl Louise burst into tears. Beside her, Clark Kent, who was made of blue light energy, gently hugged her, and then dissipated into the air again.
The Horror Lantern, Queen Hecate, and even Omac Blue Beetle and Gaia Terra, who were once recruited by the Laughing Bat and were hostile to Chen Tao, are far away in their own dark multiverse, but at this moment, they all got their own blue lantern rings.
Of course, there is another person who got the blue lantern ring.
A person who deserves it.
Reverse Flash stared at the blue light on his body, the blue uniform, and the blue lantern ring forged by his own hands.
He was no longer bound, he turned his head and looked at Batman: "At that time, when you were wandering in the dark multiverse, you had already thought of today, you had long wanted to spread..."
"I am spreading hope." Chen Tao said: "And hope is the color of blue light. Of course I didn't think of today, I just decided to do so today."
He stretched out his hand to Reverse Flash: "So... are you going to grab hope?"
"I..." Reverse Flash didn't know what to say, but then he heard a violent roar in his ears, more than one voice.
"What is that?"
He asked.
Then he heard what Chen Tao said.
"That's hope, more hope."
Chen Tao looked at him: "I'm afraid I have to tell you that there is much more hope than you think. After all..."
"I am Batman."
