Chapter 657 I will be the dog today!
Strictly speaking, the description of being a dog is still too exaggerated.
Regarding the plan proposed by Chen Tao, the Parallax Demon Howl is at best an incarnation controlled by Chen Tao downstream of the super-time flow.
Is he completely swayed by Barbatos like the Dragon of the Anti-Monitor? Not really.
He just took the initiative to use a weapon as a carrier to unleash his power.
What if Batman's dragon could provide him not with a crowbar, but a puppet made of metal, or like Barbatos provided the mortal Mobius to the Anti-Monitor? With a powerful physical body, Hal should have been able to do his own thing.
But now, due to the fact that the weapon cannot hit people fully automatically, he needs the Batman Dragon as the holder.
Batman Dragon is played by Didi on behalf of Didi. This request sounds a bit insulting, but in fact... it seems to be acceptable.
Parallax Magic Hal is still confronting Barbatos and the others, but this confrontation seems to have lost its meaning.
Although the portal with the chain sticking out is still there, everyone knows that Hal has no chance to pass through it, so Batman's suggestion does seem to be Hal's only option at the moment.
If you can't actually physically come downstream, then it seems that it's not a bad idea to do the next best thing like the Anti-Monitor Dragon?
but……
"You've thought about this a long time ago, right." Hal said silently.
Chen Tao just wanted to explain away this sentence, but suddenly he got excited again.
He did not answer immediately, but carefully considered Hal's thoughts, and then said:
"At least I never put a stumbling block on you and tried my best to pull you up. This is just a backup plan in desperate situations."
This is a fact. Chen Tao is using facts to show Hal that he has no objections. This was already a sign of weakness, but Hal was aggressive.
"No, no, no, why should you be humble? My... friend. I don't mean to blame you." Parallax Magic Hal said:
"Look, what you did is not bad. Find the forger urgently, reconstruct the metal in a short time, and then use it immediately..."
Parallax Magic Hal said: "Your plan is really good."
Chen Tao knew that whatever he said now was wrong. Hal praised him, but in fact he was attacking him for deliberately plotting against him. He had long since not wanted him to come down from the super-time stream.
This was a serious accusation, and Hal was accusing him of infidelity, raising questions about whether their relationship was not rock solid from the start.
Chen Tao knew that he now had two options in front of him.
One is to find a way to fool the past directly. He has the foundation to fool the past.
It wasn't that early when he figured out how to make this crowbar. The real reason was that his original plan was not to ask the Time Trap to help forge an ugly stick, but to ask the Laughing Bat to help him make a sword. .
Therefore, there must be a time lag between the time he obtained the power of the fifth latitude and then, through this power, successfully conspired with the Laughing Bat, who unfortunately was suppressed and imprisoned by Barbatos.
Although in the end he did not choose to cooperate with the Laughing Bat because he sensed the danger of the Laughing Bat, and instead let the Time Trap take his place, the time difference still existed. Chen Tao could use this to argue that he did not have an idea in advance, but made it temporary. Get interested.
If he had to explain it forcefully, he could explain it clearly, and logically speaking, he could make it work.
But the problem is...
Chen Tao lowered his eyebrows.
Once suspicion arises, no amount of evidence is of any use.
When Parallax Magic Hal doubted whether Chen Tao was sincere in dragging him into the downstream of the super-time stream, this had transformed from a question of ability into an issue of attitude. Furthermore, it was a question of loyalty.
What Chen Tao should do is not to prove his ability, but to prove his attitude. Doubt is born, and the right thing to do is...
"That's enough, Hal. If possible, like Barbatos and the others, I don't want you, the demon king, to come down from the super time stream."
Chen Tao said: "Your attitude towards everything is too radical. The new world I want to create is very different from the one you want to create."
Parallax Magic Hal laughed: "You have never agreed with me."
Although he was smiling, there was a fierce light in his eyes.
"I agree, but we still have differences. I'm afraid I have to admit that."
Chen Tao said.
Then he changed the subject: "So for me, the best situation is of course that you entrust your power to me, and then I will reshape the world, making it less radical and gentle. better."
First, Chen Tao must give a convincing argument to Hal. Once anyone conflicts with Hal on the premise of reshaping a perfect world, Hal will immediately turn his back, even the Superman of the main universe during the "Zero Hour" period.
But other than that, Parallax Magic Hal's attitude is surprisingly very gentle in terms of the definition of "what kind of world is perfect". When Barbara, the Batgirl from the "Zero Hour" period, agreed to reshape Under the premise of the universe, he is willing to listen to the other party's definition of a "perfect world".
To put it simply, Hal's attitude is "As long as you agree with me to reshape the perfect world, we can discuss what [perfect] is. Even if you say you want to preserve the history of your family, as long as you think [perfect], I will not Understand but accept. But if you can’t refuse to reshape the world, then we are enemies.”
Chen Tao's attitude here is more radical. He shows that he wants to compete with Hal for the right to define "perfection".
"I don't want what you think is perfect, I want what I think." His attitude cannot be softened, and he cannot be ambiguous. He must seize the right to define it, otherwise it will appear that he is too inoffensive and make people doubt his true purpose. .
Once this aggressiveness in fighting for the right to define was revealed, it gave Hal an illusion to some extent:
At least he and Batman Dragon are on the same page on whether to restart the world.
Parallax Magic Hal's voice softened: "But even if I entrust my power to you, it will definitely not be as good as my own hands. You still can't reshape the entire universe against Barbatos and the superheroes of the main universe. ”
"That's why I tried to help you come down." Chen Tao said: "When have I ever done anything wrong to you? What did you need me to do to help you come down from the super-time flow? I did everything, didn't I? "
Hal nodded slightly.
He had to admit this.
You see, he is also claiming that he helped Hal, but this time, Hal's attitude is completely different from before.
"If possible, I could get you off the hypertime stream, and then we could discuss the specific transformation plan. But you failed, Hal. You failed to get off the hypertime stream. Your plan fell apart. ”
Chen Tao accused Parallax Demon Hal: "At this point, you have no right to accuse me of starting Plan B, let alone accuse me of plotting against you and using your power. It was you who broke your promise first, you told me , you can descend from the hypertime stream and reshape the entire imperfect world.”
Chen Tao paused, and then asked Hal: "Since I have prepared Plan B in advance, why can't I start it if you have failed?"
"Since you are finished, Barbatos and Brainiac will definitely take revenge on me. I need your power to protect myself, so what's the problem?"
"You can neither come down from the hyper-time stream to help me, nor are you willing to lend me your power from the upstream stream of hyper-time, so what contribution can you, an ally, make in the cause of reshaping the world?"
Chen Batt asked the Parallax Demon three times, slightly disrupting Hal's rhythm.
Hal was already a little delirious from the questions. He thought for a while and felt that what Batman said made sense, and then he felt a sense of guilt for his allies.
"You're right," he said.
Yes, his seeming failure now does put some pressure on Batman.
He actually wanted to tell Batman at this time that he still had a plan to come down from the super time stream, but luckily he still had his sanity and didn't do such a stupid thing.
After calming down, he knew that most of what Batman said might be right, but even then he would be too stupid to reveal his trump card.
So he considered his words and continued: "Your proposal is very reasonable, and I agree. So after getting my help, what are you going to do specifically?"
"With your power, together we can tow the Reverse-Flash universe away like a truck."
Chen Tao said: "You pull from the front, and I push from behind. I use the hook of the crowbar to hook the universe, and then push the universe and glue it to the fortress I built. You don't know that I In the fortress built by the Dark Multiverse, I am the vanguard against Barbatos."
"Yes, yes, this plan is very conservative and can save a universe." Hal nodded, but he couldn't help but said: "But if the entire universe is restarted..."
"Yes, but we are superheroes, and we always have to do what superheroes should do." Chen Tao interrupted him: "I know that after the universe restarts, these things we are doing are meaningless, but at least this is When we stopped Barbatos and Brainiac from getting stronger."
He stared at Parallax Magic Hal: "Do you really think that Barbatos and Brainiac are trying so hard to get the reverse-flash universe just to eat the universe alive?
They didn't know how many universes they destroyed, but they only favored the universe of Reverse Flash. Don’t you think there must be some force behind this that we don’t know about? "
Parallax Magic Hal originally wanted to express his opinion that there was no need to save a universe that would have been wiped out, but Batman's words also made him think deeply.
"And we're superheroes, I said it, and superheroes will never stand idly by while a universe crumbles before their eyes."
Chen Tao said: "Reshaping the entire universe is a heroic act, aiming to save hundreds of millions of living beings trapped by a tragic fate. Saving this doomed universe and allowing it to temporarily exist is also a heroic act, and the two do not conflict with each other. ”
In fact, what Chen Tao said is a sophistry. Can saving the universe now offset Hal's sin of melting the universe during the reshaping of the universe in the future? Of course not, but that's what Hal did.
Although I, Hal, the Parallax Demon, kill superheroes like killing chickens, and I am still the big devil who wants to destroy the entire universe, but I, Hal, am still a superhero.
Chen Tao flattered him, and Hal thought that the other party was reasonable even if he knew it.
At this time, his mind was even more confused by Chen Tao's combination of Bat God logic.
Originally, he was not so easy to deal with, but Chen Tao repeatedly presupposed that he had [already failed] before, and by belittling the other party, he seemed a little lacking in confidence, so he was confused and thought that what Batman said was reasonable.
However, these were all trivial matters for Hal, and he was just misled for a while. Chen Tao knew that he might still have objections after thinking about it carefully, but his goal had been achieved.
Hal's suspicion of him has been completely resolved by his preemptive admission and the transfer of contradictions. If his guess is correct...
"Okay, I agree to your request."
Parallax Hal said: "I will continue to pretend to be furious and attack the Anti-Monitor Dragon and Brainiac in a while to buy you time."
He said: "You can take this opportunity to use the power I transferred to you to catch Barbatos off guard and forcibly drag that universe away. I will entangle our common enemy after they react and create opportunities for you."
Parallax Hal calmed down for a while and regained some of his IQ. He took the lead in the whole plan and successfully dug a pit for Batman in it.
He still had the trump card of the Trapper that he didn't use. He might have tried to impact the opportunity to escape the super time stream again.
But the prerequisite is that he needs Batman's help.
"Are you sure you have thought it through? Don't you think you are being a dog for me?" Chen Tao said.
He showed some aggression again at the right time, but these aggressions were harmless and could not hurt Hal's core demands. Instead, they made Hal feel more at ease with him.
Taking advantage of some words is an offensive action. He created a situation where Hal had to appease him. Through this kind of appeasement made by Hal on his own initiative, Hal could believe his words more firmly.
"It's okay." On the zero-hour timeline, Hal waved his hand and blurted out: "I'm going to be this dog!"
Not far away, the Emperor Clown who was hiding in the dark and observing the situation:
