Chapter 661 Barbatos leaves the World Crucible for the first time, World Forger invades

Look.

The stars in the sky are fake, they don't really exist.

They are just... illusions created when the timeline has not yet condensed.

The illusion before the perfect timeline condensed.

That is what I am chasing.

I am Hal the Parallax Demon, I know that's what they call me, but in fact, I prefer to call myself Hal... that's my real name.

I have the power of 3,600 lantern rings, which is exactly the number of members of the Green Lantern Corps I have slaughtered.

I control all the light energy absorbed from the Green Lantern Central Energy Battery, which is why the OA planet was once destroyed.

I know that I am deeply sinful, I know that I have deviated from the original intention of the hero, but this is all for the greater good.

So... please, I can't fail.

I can restore everything I have done, and only with this idea in mind can I continue to move forward, but the further I go, the more I can't turn back.

I can never stop trying to create a perfect world, otherwise everything I have done so far will be meaningless.

I killed my friends and destroyed everything I loved, because as long as I was strong enough, I could restart the world in a planned and perfect way.

I can only succeed, and I will always... only succeed.

Blood.

Hal could feel his blood vessels throbbing, and blood rushed out of his wounds.

Energy burned in Hal's body like a flame, burning him into a trapped beast with no way out.

He was very strong, so strong that as long as he made up his mind, the final result would be the death of the Anti-Monitor Dragon and his injury.

But that would be at the cost of his hope of escaping the super-time stream completely... This was unacceptable to him.

His current injuries were still light, and still within the range that Hal could repair. He opened his mouth to reveal his fangs and howled at the Anti-Monitor Dragon with his desperate end.

He still had hope... temporarily. And this hope ignited him, making him rational and fanatical, making him emotional and cold, making him hide and shrink at all costs, waiting for the right time.

Returning to the super time stream and becoming a nail solidified on the cement road, this is definitely not an ending that Hal can accept.

Although he has agreed to Batman Dragon's Plan B about using a crowbar as a carrier to enter the current timeline of the super time stream, no one knows what kind of fire is burning in his heart.

He still has a lot of real skills that he hasn't used... In the "Zero Hour" period, Hal once manipulated the silent existence, starting from both ends of the timeline, intending to erase the entire time.

The silent existence alone has defeated the heroes... The silent existence is in a place called the [Vanishing Point] where time stops. He single-handedly challenges the entire Justice Society. By reversing time, he instantly turns the Justice Society's Time Knight, Wildcat, Midnight Doctor and others into octogenarians in an instant.

(Note: The history of the death of the first generation of Time Warrior was later changed. The third generation of Time Warrior reversed the super time flow and died at the hands of Mocun instead of the first generation of Time Warrior. The original comics did have the operation of changing the history of the super time flow.)

When the superheroes defeated Mocun with great difficulty, they found that the erasure of the timeline from both ends did not stop.

In addition to those conventional and expected powers, Parallax Demon Hal also has the power to control, repair the multiverse, and manipulate the timeline.

He once understood the trick of controlling entropy at the end of time. He even activated the time rift and easily tore the body of the Colossus.

In general, his power in the "Zero Hour" period is close to that of the former Anti-Monitor. Although this description sounds a bit like "everyone has the courage of Lu Bu after Lu Bu's death", he can still defeat the Anti-Monitor Dragon.

(Note: Dan Jurgens, the author of Zero Hour, once said that Hal Parallax Zero Hour has a strength similar to that of the Anti-Monitor. Of course, like the Anti-Monitor during the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Hal Parallax has never recovered to full strength since Zero Hour.)

But he didn't do that. Even though he was almost sucked away by the antimatter cosmic energy, Hal didn't do that.

He had to retain his strength. It was meaningless to compete with a pet of Barbatos. He was waiting for the opportunity, and he was almost there.

The first Lantern Vor was waiting in the shadows.

Behind him was the silent Third Legion, with Shadow Vor standing beside him.

"Listen, my past self, we only have this one chance."

At first, Shadow Vor tried to hide in front of the first Lantern, but now he seemed to have gradually revealed his cards.

"Our previous attack on Hal gave him some understanding of us, but he could never have imagined that there were actually two Vor."

The members of the Third Legion behind them listened to their conversation quietly.

No, there are more than two, but countless.

"I only need to pretend to be you to attract Hal's attention. When he thinks that all the enemies are within his sight, he will definitely lose his vigilance, and this is the best time for you to sneak attack."

Shadow Huo Rong said: "But you have to remember that this opportunity only comes once."

"The members of the Third Legion will create opportunities for you. You have to find a way to completely injure him. He has been more injured than before. If you can plunder the antimatter cosmic energy from him again..."

"I can't. That strange feeling has disappeared from me now..."

"I know you can't. I have never experienced this with you. I have never successfully taken the antimatter cosmic energy from Hal. Do you understand? This is the experience added to us by the changes caused by my return to the past this time."

Shadow Huo Rong said: "But whether you can get the antimatter energy or not, at least you can plunder Hal's green light energy through the emotional spectrum. , I have practiced it before.

The failure just now was only because Hal's injury was not serious enough. If I try again now, it will never end like this. Also, I am afraid I must tell you. "

Shadow Huo Rong warned: "You must not be too seriously injured. You are my past self. Once you are injured, because of the causal rate, the super-time flow will make the injury appear on my body synchronously."

He said: "This will hinder my actions, make my nature on the timeline unstable, and constantly be reset by the time limit, which may even affect my actions. This extremely small action delay is fatal when facing Hal. "

"Understood."

They launched the attack.

Shadow Huo Rong was dressed completely like a No. 1 Lantern. He took off the robe that was in the way, revealing a translucent face covered by countless meridians.

There was a long scar on his face, but the scar was wiped by Shadow Huo Rong's hand and immediately disappeared.

He appeared behind the parallax demon Hal in a flash, and then his neck was pinched like a snake.

The Anti-Monitor Dragon cooperated and bit Hal's thigh from behind. Brainiac's metal tentacles tied Hal up like a dumpling in the next second, and then the sickle of the Black Death Emperor appeared on Hal's neck again.

The next second, the sickle was smashed open by the iron fist, and the metal tentacles broke into pieces. Hal swung Shadow Fear like a hammer with one hand and hit the Anti-Monitor Dragon's head fiercely. At the same time, the attack of the original Lantern Man suddenly came, and countless densely packed members of the Third Legion appeared from their hiding places, and the attack like rain drowned Hal in an instant.

It was getting closer and closer.

This sneak attack was very successful. Shadow Fear was actually the original Lantern Man himself. Although he was weakened and injured due to the history of traveling through the super time stream, he was still exactly the same as the original Lantern Man. He successfully deceived Hal, making the attack of the real original Lantern so unexpected.

The hand of the first lantern is about to pierce Hal's chest like before, and seize it again. Antimatter cosmic energy is the cornerstone that makes Hal powerful, and one of the essences of the power of the parallax magic.

More! More! These powers will be absorbed by the first lantern, allowing him to truly have the power to shake the entire multiverse!

But the next moment, Huo Rong's eyes met the suddenly turned head of the parallax magic Hal: "I have been waiting for a long time to be besieged by you... I am really disappointed."

He looked down at the first lantern indifferently.

The first lantern has realized that something is wrong. He wants to turn around and run away. When he turned his head and turned his back to Hal, he saw the huge iron rod in his world suddenly coming towards him, and he became extremely small at that moment, as if he was facing a huge foot.

"Old predecessor... When it comes to playing with the timeline, you are not even worthy of carrying my shoes. It's just a trick of the remnants of time."

Boom! ! ! !

The deafening sound resounded throughout the Zero Hour timeline, causing the Emperor Clown, who had traveled through countless spaces and universes and had already escaped far away, to turn his head.

"Oh my God." He shrank his neck: "It seems that someone is going to be turned into meat paste, hahahahaha!"

After the smoke and dust, Lantern No. 1 had disappeared into thin air, and the shadow of the nearby Huo Rong also quickly broke through the space and fled like a mouse.

The figure of Parallax Demon Hal flashed, and then he grabbed the tail of the Anti-Monitor Dragon, dragged him backwards and threw him far away.

Finally.

No one could stop Parallax Demon Hal anymore.

Hal raised the crowbar in his hand.

He looked at the chain extending to the upper reaches of the super-time flow, and then looked at the time-trapped person hiding in the time gap through layers of space, and then he nodded slightly.

"Batman."

Hal's eyes flickered twice, and he did not put away the crowbar, although this weapon objectively saved him some trouble.

He raised the crowbar made of many metals, and then gently threw it towards the chain.

"I'll give you the crowbar back... I can't use it now." Hal commented: "It is a qualified weapon when attacking by surprise, but when I need to confront head-on, in an upright way, this thing will be an obstacle for me."

Super time flow.

Chen Tao reached out and caught the weapon that fell from the broken space. He was not sure whether Hal had found those rings, which was not important.

Even without these rings, Hal would not keep the weapons handled by Batman close to him -

Let's put it more bluntly:

Hal did not trust Batman at all, and he was still on guard against Batman.

He never thought of taking this mere crowbar for himself. The demon king who created [Zero Hour], Parallax Demon Hal, disdained to use the weapons of his allies in a head-on confrontation.

Chen Tao put the crowbar away again, feeling a little regretful.

What a pity. He had wanted to do something bad to Hal with the crowbar, but that was no longer possible.

He nodded: "I'll start to pull you down."

Hal also nodded slightly: "This is what you should do."

As they talked, the future timeline of [Hal's Success] began to solidify rapidly on the hypertime stream, while Barbatos, who was downstream of the hypertime stream, was still desperately urging the Anti-Monitor Dragon to work.

The members of the Dark Multiverse Legion who were scattered throughout the Zero Hour timeline by him wailed one after another.

Barbatos transmitted too much energy through them, just like passing a strong current that exceeded the upper limit of a thin wire, which made them burst one by one, but they were repaired by Barbatos' power in an instant. They were completely tools, enduring the pain of death again and again, but they could not die.

This time he no longer thought about using Hal to consume the antimatter energy of the Anti-Monitor Dragon, but generously contributed his own strength, but it was too late.

When the Anti-Monitor Dragon repaired his body again and attacked Hal, Hal had disappeared behind the portal.

Boom!

That invisible loud noise... The super-time flow was shaking.

The entire timeline was trembling for Hal's escape.

The Anti-Monitor Dragon turned his head and saw the edge of the zero-hour timeline. The history that was previously erased by Hal reappeared, but it was different from before.

Hal disappeared, and the super-time flow generated a brand new history, which might even breed a freak like the Emperor of Doom.

This timeline has not yet solidified, but it already exists.

Hal is constantly traveling through the super-time stream.

He saw "Infinite Crisis", where the furious Prime Superman smashed the crystal wall of the heaven dimension with one punch, and history was modified again.

He passed through "Sinestro Corps War", and then wandered among the countless corpses in "Blackest Night". He bathed in the light of "Whitest Day", and quickly skipped one after another major historical events that shook the entire multiverse.

It's getting closer and closer.

He passed "Final Crisis" and saw Darkseid being killed by Batman holding the gun that killed the new god. Darkseid's screams shook the entire multiverse, and his immortal soul fell into the mortal world. Since the final crisis, Darkseid has been downgraded. He no longer has a body, only a clone.

When he once again witnessed the restart of the multiverse, saw the "Flashpoint" created by the Flash Barry Allen, and then passed him to see Wally West return from the Speed ​​Force, "DC Universe Rebirth" was also left behind by Hal.

In the world furnace.

Barbatos opened his eyes wide.

He could no longer stop Hal's arrival. He tried his best and couldn't stop it.

Hal's arrival would inevitably cause a huge obstacle to his plan to invade the main universe, which had threatened Barbatos's foundation, which was something he absolutely could not tolerate.

Therefore, Barbatos made a decision.

He reluctantly climbed up from the corpse of the World Forger and stopped eating the corpse.

While Hal has not yet fully arrived at the current time point, he has just arrived after "DC Universe Rebirth", so Barbatos still has a chance to rob him at this time.

This is Barbatos' last chance to drive Hal back to his original position. If he can't do it, he will probably face a completely intractable Hal next.

Therefore, no matter how much Barbatos didn't want to leave the World Forge, he had to leave now.

He swayed his tail and slowly crawled out of the World Forge.

He hesitated a little. He hesitated to look at the body of his former master and wondered if he really wanted to do that, but in the end, Hal's importance overwhelmed everything.

Once he really came, it would be difficult for him to drive him away like last time. Hal was not a fool after all, and he would not enter the World Forge again.

So Barbatos swayed his body, crawled out of the World Forge, and disappeared behind the space gate.

And not long after it disappeared, a figure appeared in the World Forge.

The World Forger took off his hood and ignored the clown dragon who was frightened beside him.

He looked at his body and sighed softly:

"Barbatos is finally gone."
