Chapter 705 You're not Batman at all, who are you?
Chen Tao has been tiptoeing as much as possible.
If the World Maker were at his peak, he would never have been able to fight his dog for so long, but in order to deceive the Time Flow, the World Maker had to pay a price.
He had already died once; Barbatos was enough to stop him.
Chen Tao has now located the Emperor Joker. Before being completely defeated, the Emperor Joker used his mischievous power to send a distress signal to Chen Tao from a higher level in the fifth dimension through his imagination.
Chen Tao really didn't know how he had the nerve to ask him for help, but now he really had to swallow his pride and save him.
Unless he intends to settle down in the main universe with Barbatos and has no intention of rescuing Parallax Morhal from the control of the Worldforgers.
Only the Emperor Joker knows how he modified Hal, and he can also turn Hal back.
Of course, Chen Tao could try it himself, but it was clear that when he met the forger, the forger wouldn't give him time.
The Emperor Joker understood this perfectly.
In short, Chen Tao now not only has to leave the Dark Multiverse, but also travel through the Hypertime Stream to find the Emperor Joker in Gotham City of the main universe during the "Flash Reborn" era. He absolutely cannot cause any major chaos. If all of this turns into him and the Time Trapped fighting each other in the main universe, the history of the Hypertime Stream will be affected again. Chen Tao no longer has the strength to patch up the holes.
He created a huge hole in the time-travel mechanism, and he never wants to do it again. Thank you.
He successfully opened the portal. Zul'Ah Batman, now back in the main universe as a rib of Batman, will guide him.
But just as he was about to leave, he received a signal from Lex Luthor.
"How much longer can you hold out?" Realizing that the Time Trapped weren't actually guarding the Emperor Joker's side, but rather besieging his universe, Chen Tao immediately inquired about Luther's progress: "Can you hold out until the Push Tower system completely triggers the escape of your three universes?"
Luther's head cracked slightly on the other end of the communication line.
Literally, his brain blossomed like a flower, with several petals appearing. One of the fleshy tentacles, gleaming with a metallic sheen, emerged from the cracked head, scratched the other side of Luther's head, and then effortlessly retracted.
The fleshy petals that had split off from his head closed, making Luther look no different from a normal person.
He glanced sideways at the ventriloquist still shouting on the monitor screen:
"Oh!! Batman!!! More!! Batman!!!"
As he yelled, he desperately pressed down the hem of his maid's dress, his hands gripping the Brainiac head that was growing out of his groin. The small body beneath the Brainiac head convulsed as if in an epileptic seizure.
A surge of immense spiritual energy erupted from his body, shooting out like a sharp sword toward the real Brainiac beyond Earth.
With the help of a more radical genetic modification program and the spiritual power of other Justice League members, Arnold has been able to hold off Brainiac for the time being.
He then turned his gaze to the other side.
That was the Justice League, genetically modified, fighting Brainiac's physical body.
They were all strangely shaped, but for the time being, they were still able to hold them off.
"It's alright, take it easy, you've got the time card under control, Bat," he said. "According to my calculations, we have plenty of time to escape. You should be the one hurrying now."
"Are you sure?" Chen Tao tried to use the Metal Spirit to check the scene on Luther's side, but firstly, it was too far away, and secondly...
"There's no need to use the Metal Spirit to monitor my bats. You've been monitoring me for so long, I wouldn't have been completely oblivious."
Chen Tao frowned. Luther already had the ability to counter his surveillance. Next time, he would have to upgrade the program for monitoring his teammates. The Fifth Dimensional Divine Power was very useful.
He could have spent some time indirectly monitoring the current situation in his universe through his other teammates, but Luthor was right, he really didn't have the time.
He walked through the door he had opened without hesitation.
Since the Time Trapped One is on Luther's side anyway, it means that he only needs to capture the Joker and at most deal with some minor defensive measures left by the World Forger at the Joker's place. Breaking through these shouldn't be too difficult for him.
Moreover, the damage caused by the trans-temporal flow instigated by the World Forger is already strong enough. Chen Tao is able to deduce the World Forger's purpose. Knowing the other party's purpose, he can understand the meaning behind the other party's actions. He only wants to destroy, not annihilate.
Therefore, he was quite certain that the World Forger chose the main universe at a certain point in the Hypertime Flow simply because it was safe enough. He didn't want the operation of the Hypertime Flow to continue to be harmed, so even if he left protective measures, they wouldn't be too...
Chen Tao landed in an underground garbage dump.
His toes touched the ground next to a small bag of condoms, napkins, and a syringe.
He saw the Emperor Joker, lying in the middle of a pile of garbage.
He saw the Emperor Joker smiling at him.
The Emperor Joker was trampled underfoot by a figure who saw Batman appear in front of him and kicked the Emperor Joker's face twice.
"Hi, my Bat, I knew you'd come to save me. Oh, come on, we've always been so in sync."
The Emperor Clown had barely uttered two sentences when his mouth was stepped on by the other party.
"Those trapped in time," Chen Tao said.
If the person stepping on the Joker's face here is a Time Trapped, then who is Luther encountering?
Every action in the timeline creates a new "unfrozen road," but you can only choose where to place the road once, or change your choice, and you cannot place the road multiple times at the same time.
Time travel is not as easy as traversing a timeline. The concept of time remnants does not work with time travel.
"Yes, I am a victim of time."
Chen Tao saw the Time Trapped in front of him—although he wasn't sure if the other person was a Time Trapped, he would assume that it was based on the other person's appearance.
Chen Tao used his fifth-dimensional divine power to probe him; that immense power was truly remarkable…
"This is incredibly difficult to fake, not just normally difficult. But we can't rule out the possibility that it's fake... right?"
Chen Tao heard the other person speak out about what he was thinking.
He looked directly at the other person.
It's impossible for the other person to read his mind; it's just some simple psychological suggestion, like a magician asking you to guess a number, then turning over a deck of cards and finding that the card on the deck is exactly the one you wanted.
This is just a psychological suggestion.
He told himself this in his mind, and then began to use subtle body language to deceive the other person, "I'm intimidated by you, I'm so scared."
"Alright, stop pretending. We know each other too well. This won't work on me."
Chen Tao frowned. These were all manipulative tactics, which meant that the other party didn't seem to be as omniscient as he appeared.
If you start by guessing who you might be, you'll get caught in their trap and they'll continue to vaguely guide you to fill in the blanks in your own mind—that's the trickery of a scammer.
Chen Tao chose not to say a word.
Then Chen Tao heard the person trapped in the time warp say:
"I bet you're starting to doubt that I'm Superman Supreme, but come on, do you think Superman Supreme could have escaped the time-traveling loop all by himself without your help?"
Chen Tao remained silent.
"Furthermore, I doubt you'd actually fight me in this era. If we did, this city would instantly turn to dust, and the Batman of this era would be completely wiped out. You know the consequences of a massive alteration to time travel, right?"
"I couldn't have gotten here without Batman from the main universe. What you're doing will cause a time-travel paradox, and you can't do that," Chen Tao said.
He actually lied. Access to the main universe requires the Batman of the main universe as a portal, and that's Barbatos.
Chen Tao is far less powerful than Barbatos. The Dark Multiverse and the Matter Multiverse are like a wall with many small holes. Barbatos is too big to pass through, so he needs to go to great lengths to make the main universe's Batman into a large hole.
But Chen Tao shrank back and crawled through the dog hole; the two were not even the same size.
He was using this sentence as a test to see if the other party knew this information.
"Let's stop these pointless tests, Batman."
Chen Tao saw this Supreme Little Superman wave his hand lightly, and then the surrounding trash was blown away by the subtle breeze from his palm, clearing a small open space in front of them.
Then, the Time Trapped One dragged out an old chair from somewhere, sat down on it with the Emperor Joker in hand, and then stepped on the other person.
"We need to talk."
I'll talk your mother.
Chen Tao cursed the other party in his heart while thinking about how to launch a sudden attack and drag the other party directly to a suitable battlefield to make a move.
Limbo Hell, outside of the four-dimensional space, might be a good place. Chen Tao has already deconstructed the technology by which Kryptonians enter and exit that place. This is faster and more suitable as a transfer skill than trying to drag the opponent into the turbulence outside the hypertime flow.
But soon, he heard the other party ask directly:
"You're not Batman, who are you?"
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, at some point in time, you underwent a huge change."
"The Trapped One" said:
"Am I right?"
"None of the countless Batmen in the entire Dark Multiverse are like the Batman of the main universe."
The "Time Trapped" heard the other person say, "But we are all Batman."
"Tsk, a clever answer," he said.
"But it still doesn't explain everything I've seen."
"If you want to ask me why things have changed compared to before......"
"No, no, no, I know I won't get any answers from that. I want to know something else."
"The Time Trapped" said, "I said you don't look like Batman because—"
"Batman is destined to fail."
He said, "Think about it, Batman will be defeated by the Joker's plan and unable to save the innocent. He will be stumped by the Riddler's riddles, allowing the Riddler to escape. He will be sprayed in the face with the Scarecrow's fear gas and forced to retreat."
"Bane, Two-Face, Penguin, Gotham's old buddies, which one of them hasn't ever broken Batman's record? Batman has been fighting for justice in Gotham for so many years, and he's failed more than once. He just always wins, not that he never loses."
The "Time Trapped One" was somewhat deranged. He raised his hand erratically, like a pale demon under the moonlight, and questioned the noble young man in the dark with a soul-searching gaze.
"Who do you think knows Batman best? Commissioner Gordon? Robin? Alfred? No, you're wrong. I'm the one who knows Batman best."
"The Trapped One" said:
Think about it, "Never failing, never truly falling"—bullshit, Batman could never do that.
"Otherwise, where did all those countless scars and almost completely lost cartilage on his body come from?"
He rambled on, saying, "What a joke! You should know that throughout history, different eras of Batman have had their own strengths."
"The Batman of the Arkham Universe is more skilled in hand-to-hand combat; his fists are more powerful than his detective wrists."
In the original universe, Batman was more like a detective than a superhero;
It wasn't until the final crisis, when the main universe's Batman had a moment of glory like killing Darkseid, that he mastered those powerful technologies;
After Flashpoint, Batman became powerful enough to wear those armors, like the Hellbat...
"Anyone with a normal brain should know that these Batmen simply have different strengths at different times."
Arkham Batman's detective skills aren't as extensive as other Batman eras, and the original Batman wasn't strong enough in combat. Even with his advanced technology, the original Batman couldn't possibly outmatch Arkham Batman in pure hand-to-hand combat... But what about you?"
"You've combined everything about them, but there has never been a Batman like this in the entire multiverse. You've just taken the best qualities of Batmen from every era and every parallel universe, and then forcibly attached those qualities to yourself as a benchmark. You used them as the standard, and then created a hybrid that you call Batman."
"I don't know if you've heard this joke—a country fabricated a bunch of experimental data that was impossible to achieve, and another country used it as a reference to create something completely unrelated."
"Ultimately, the Batman you've come to know and imagine isn't the real Batman anymore; it's a Batman you've created in your imagination!"
He said:
"No dodging, answer me directly—"
"You're not Batman, who are you?"
