Chapter 648 I believe Batman's stick will not hit me on the head
"I'm not good at forging."
"But you're good at using force."
After taking over the Laughing Cave and getting so many messy metals, Chen Tao had thought about finding a way to melt these metals.
If it was just a simple shaping of a certain metal, Chen Tao could certainly do it. Hawkman and Hawkgirl's maces were made of n-metal.
But the problem was that he wanted to melt all the metals together. Simply splicing n-metal or promethium together was meaningless to him.
Maybe Chen Tao lived for hundreds of trillions of years like Barbatos and accumulated enough experience over a long period of time, or like the Laughing Bat, he directly received Barbatos' dark energy and directly obtained ready-made knowledge from it. He could do it on his own...but not now.
Each metal is an indestructible substance. To process them to the point where they can be synthesized requires not only strength but also skills.
"I don't have any skills." The Time Trapper said.
"Just use your strength, and leave the rest to miracles." Chen Tao answered him.
Superboy Prime swung his fist, and even the crystal wall of the heaven dimension could be broken. If anyone could forcibly smelt metal without knowing the skills, it was only him.
Of course, metals like Bat Gold, which disappear directly like ginseng fruit once they come into contact with the air, are not something that the Time Trapper can do with great strength, but at this point, Chen Tao has no better choice, and can only find a way to let him smelt what he can smelt first.
He can't go back to find the Laughing Bat.
It's a small matter to suffer a little loss in face and be forced into the plan by him. What if the Laughing Bat secretly mixes something into the smelted sword when he doesn't understand, then it will be fun.
Chen Tao has not forgotten how the Laughing Bat deliberately let the Justice League of the main universe get the Mobius Chair in "Death Metal", and then tampered with it, so that the heroes worked hard for a long time, and all became working for the Laughing Bat.
Alas, that's not right.
Thinking about this, Chen Tao couldn't help but start to doubt himself again.
Damn, is there a possibility that he is not looking for the Laughing Bat now, which is also in the plan of Laughing!
It's bad, this is really a paradox of Laughing. Chen Tao shook his head and dispelled this outrageous idea of infinite nesting dolls from his mind.
But now there is a very serious problem for Chen Tao.
"I don't know you at all, and I can't do what you said."
"You have been peeking at me, and I think we are old friends. Don't pretend, I know better than you what you can do."
Chen Tao said: "I know who you are. When you are expelling the back-up plans I left in this body, do you really think I will not notice it? Don't you doubt why I can find you?"
Although he said so, as Chen Tao communicated more and more with the time trapper, his heart became heavier.
Unlike the crazy and evil Supreme Little Superman of the Dark Multiverse who was sucked on the origin wall of the Dark Multiverse and then pulled out by Chen Tao.
No matter how crazy or powerful that Supreme Little Superman is, his thinking is simple, his logic is linear, he can be manipulated remotely, his emotions can be driven, and his madness can be used.
But what about the Time Trapper in front of him?
He is a cunning conspirator. He is a Supreme Little Superman who has lived for many, many years, and even became the emperor there at the end of time, which is equivalent to ruling the whole world at the end of the "road".
Now he appeared in front of Chen Tao, and Chen Tao felt that talking to him was just like talking to a turtle.
The Time Trapper finally couldn't find an excuse. Although he couldn't see his face behind the hood, his voice sank a few degrees.
"Well, then I think I have to say this, I can indeed, but I refuse to help you."
The subtext of this sentence is to ask Chen Tao what price he can pay, Chen Tao knows.
If the Time Trapper really doesn't intend to help him, then he should turn around and leave immediately the first second he knows his intention, instead of claiming that he doesn't have such ability, and then saying I refuse when he can't deny it.
He was waiting for Chen Tao to make an offer. No matter what benefits Chen Tao said, the five-dimensional power of Bat-Mite, or other promises, the Time Trapper had the right to pick and choose.
"Don't you claim that you can find Superboy-Prime? You can go find it. I know what other means of threat you have." The Time Trapper said:
"You can give it a try to see if these can work on me."
The Time Trapper was fearless, and Chen Tao was a little unsure.
Of course, he had considered threatening the other party. For example, he could threaten the other party that he would reveal his whereabouts to Lantern No. 1. Although Chen Tao was not completely sure where Lantern No. 1 was at this time, he had a rough guess of the location.
For another example, Chen Tao had already mastered the location of Superboy-Prime in the super-time stream. He could use the history of Superboy-Prime being exiled to the multiverse after the Sinestro War to forcibly pull him directly from the super-time stream to scare the Time Trapper.
But in the final analysis, he had too few cards in his hand. The resurrection of the Time Trapper caught him off guard, and he had not prepared many means to control the opponent, so when facing him at this time, he was naturally stretched to the limit.
Chen Tao did not speak.
He knew that he had only one chance to intimidate the opponent.
The Time Trapper was threatening him, but he also exposed his weakness.
He had no means to restrain the Time Trapper, so how could the opponent have the ability to restrain him?
Batman's Dragon, who possessed the power of the fifth dimension, was now a fuel-filled engine. The Time Trapper was not incapable of fighting Chen Tao, but once he did so, he would...
Would he?
A flash of inspiration lit up in Chen Tao's mind, and he suddenly realized what could really threaten the Time Trapper.
He stopped talking, but opened his palm and condensed a small ball of energy in his palm.
"Some kind of communication magic?" The Time Trapper said, "Who are you going to communicate with? Superboy Prime or Lantern No. 1, well, I told you to try it, I'm afraid you really..."
But before he finished speaking, the Time Trapper felt that the target of the communication magic was Barbatos.
The Time Trapper did not move.
He watched Batman raise his palm and then push the communication energy into the void.
Under the influence of the fifth dimension divine power, a portal appeared in the air, and the energy group was getting closer and closer to the portal.
"Great Lord Barbatos, great Lord Barbatos!" Chen Tao pinched his nose and shouted in the voice of the Laughing Bat: "Ah, your believers are calling you!"
Chen Tao would of course summon Barbatos.
What a joke, he is the Dragon of the Dark Multiverse, he occupies the position that Barbatos once occupied, and Barbatos has entered the godhood of the World Forger.
The godhood of the Dark Universe Dragon is related to the godhood of the Forger, and the Dark Multiverse Dragon is originally a servant god.
How can a servant god not contact his main god?
"No, damn it, don't you know that if you call Barbatos, you and I will be unlucky?"
The Time Trapper was forced to stop everything. He punched the portal created by Chen Tao. In an instant, a space turbulence suddenly blew up in the parallel universe where he was hiding.
Violent energy burst out from his fist, simply and roughly destroying the information that was about to be transmitted to Barbatos.
And he himself knew that once this sentence came out, he would no longer be able to bargain with Batman.
He turned around and stared at Batman, then slowly said: "You are really a lunatic."
Chen Tao showed him a few white teeth: "I have to do this."
The reason is simple, whether it is the Supreme Little Superman or the First Lantern, these can not really threaten the Time Trapper.
Their power is indeed very strong, but that's all. They can't make the Time Trapper difficult in the current timeline, but the great Lord Barbatos can.
Barbatos is strong enough. Once the Time Trapper is entangled by him, there will be no peace next.
Barbatos can't allow others to sleep soundly next to his bed. After all, the Time Trapper is the Supreme Little Superman.
With such a powerful monster hiding in the dark, Barbatos probably couldn't sleep, worrying every day that he might use his own power to deal a fatal blow to the battle.
In this paradox of distrust, it is almost Barbatos's instinct to eliminate the danger in advance.
There is almost no possibility for the Time Trapper to negotiate with Barbatos. Barbatos can make deals with dangerous characters upstream of the super time stream such as Parallax Mohar or Anti-Monitor without scruples because he has no intention of letting these characters down from the super time stream from the bottom of his heart, and he never promises to help anyone get down from the time stream.
In his opinion, these characters who find him and try to come to reality through him are just potential competitors. If Barbatos thinks they can still be used, he will squeeze out the surplus value as much as possible, just like the Anti-Monitor Dragon.
But for a monster like the Time Trapper who really resurrects in the current timeline with his own ability, it will only trigger Barbatos' stress response.
What, someone can be resurrected from the upstream of the super time stream without my consent?
Therefore, once the Time Trapper is discovered, Barbatos must be forced to appear in the sun after he thinks that the other party may also threaten him.
The Time Trapper was speechless.
Batman was right, this was indeed the only way to threaten him.
Chen Tao turned his head and looked at him.
"Aren't you afraid? Can't you let me find anyone I want?"
"Once Barbatos gets here, do you think you can escape?" The Time Trapper said, "You won't do that, you shouldn't do that, but to prevent you from being stupid..."
"When Barbatos saw you and me, do you really think he would chase me first?"
Chen Tao said, "A problem that has proved to be very difficult to solve with his former status... or a soft persimmon with only brute force? And this simple brute force is not stronger than Barbatos."
The Time Trapper was silent again, and finally, he spoke again.
"This is not enough."
"What?"
"I said, this is not enough."
The Time Trapper repeated.
Chen Tao's heart gradually sank.
Failed.
Even Barbatos failed to intimidate him in the end, which was already a very failed intimidation.
But then he heard the Time Trapper say to him: "You owe me a favor."
Chen Tao looked at him in confusion, and then suddenly realized what he meant.
The Time Trapper said slowly: "You owe me a favor, so I am willing to help you forge it. Because of this favor, you must help me once for free. Deal?"
"I will help you, unless it goes against the heroic act."
"Deal."
The Time Trapper said.
"Bring the metal, I will use my fist to force them together, but what kind of stick will be made... This is not something I can control."
More than ten minutes later.
He watched Batman disappear behind the portal.
And at this moment, a telepathic connection sounded in the heart of the Time Trapper almost at the same time as Batman left.
The phone was connected:
"I'm busy, do you have to find me now?"
Hal on the other end was quiet, and it always felt a little too quiet.
"Hal, you should be glad that I informed you before doing anything."
The Time Trapper said.
On the other end of the communication, it was Hal the Parallax Demon who had previously formed an alliance with Chen Tao. He didn't know when he had contact with the Time Trapper.
Although he also possessed powerful strength, Hal the Parallax Demon was not as superstitious about power as Superboy Prime. Before he had fallen into the Parallax Demon, Hal during the Crisis on Infinite Earths was already a qualified leader of the Green Lantern Corps.
The Time Trapper didn't say any more nonsense, he directly told the other party what he knew.
"So much metal, forged into a stick, who does he want to hit with that stick?"
"I don't know about that." The Time Trapper spread his hands and then said: "But aren't you in the same group? You have established an alliance, he shouldn't use the stick to deal with you."
But he didn't get a denial from the other party, he only heard the other party groaning in a low voice like a lone wolf.
This sounded very uncertain.
"It looks like they are in the same camp." The Time Trapper said, "So have you made a decision?"
"Can you add some tricks to the stick when you forge it for him?"
The Time Trapper heard the other party say, "I thought you should be better at collecting debts than me."
"Of course not."
The Time Trapper refused this.
"I can only help him make the stick perfectly...but I don't know who he will use it to attack. Do you want me to do that for him?"
The Parallax Demon Hal pondered for a while and finally nodded.
"Yes, of course, so far, he is still my companion, isn't he?"
Hal said, "I believe this stick will not fall on my head."
