Chapter 640 Batman won't wear hockey gear, and he
Chapter 640: Batman doesn't wear hockey gear, and... he always wins (movie reference).
Perhaps Chen Tao could refute this by saying:
"You don't know what I did. I did A, I did B, I did C."
But Chen Tao knew that such words would not convince Reverse Lightning.
Reverse Flash found out about that...
He learned that Chen Tao was deliberately indulging Emperor Clown in order to take advantage of him.
On this point alone, Chen Tao cannot deny it.
"For your purposes, you can unleash the Emperor Joker from his cage, completely disregarding how much death, destruction, and annihilation he might cause."
"Then why can't I?"
Chen Tao accused Reverse Flash of escaping, saying that the other party only kept restarting the world and even went so far as to act as a traitor.
But for Reverse-Flash, if Batman Dragon can stop at nothing to win, then he can do the same to protect his universe.
This includes never confronting the enemy head-on, but instead escaping with one's own universe.
This includes constantly restarting time and disrupting the future of one's own world.
include……
betray.
His betrayal was justified. When there's no hope in sight, what reason do you have to demand loyalty?
Chen Tao looked at Reverse Lightning.
"Let's do it," Reverse-Flash said.
"What more can you say about a traitor?"
Chen Tao knew that Reverse Lightning was still trying to deceive people even at this point, and he was waiting for a chance to fight to the death, which was exactly what he was about to do.
Chen Tao sighed.
"Do you know...?"
He turned to the side, giving Reverse-Flash an opportunity to attack him, an opportunity that Reverse-Flash saw as a chance to save his universe, a hope, but then he was about to take that hope away.
Chen Tao knew it was somewhat cruel, but he had no choice.
"When Batman first started his heroic deeds in Gotham City, he gained a group of imitators."
Chen Tao said.
"These imitators wear hockey protective gear, use deadly weapons such as guns and machetes, and maintain order in the city like Batman, acting as violent vigilantes."
"They wanted to do good, no doubt about it, they wanted to do good. They were doing what they thought was good, but Batman ultimately defeated them and put them all in the police station."
Reverse-Flash knew he couldn't wait any longer; Batman Dragon was far more powerful than him. Even if he feigned despair, it might not fool his opponent. The longer he dragged things out, the slimmer his chances of a successful sneak attack became.
He had to take the initiative. He had studied Batman and his powers. Before Batman transformed into those monsters, there was an extremely slight pre-transformation animation.
Silvery-white particles would emerge from his body and cover it, as if space was used to paint a picture on his body that did not belong to this timeline.
This particle transformation state is extremely brief, so brief as to be almost imperceptible, but for the user of the Speed Force, a second is practically eternity.
Although Batman: Dragon can also use the power of speed, he was never a pure user of the Speed Force. His purity was insufficient, and he never witnessed just how fast a true speedster could go.
While the power of the fifth dimension is immense, it is not omnipotent. The birth of imagination leads to the distortion of reality, but all of this must originate from thought, and the speed of thought is always limited by the speed of brain activity.
Therefore, theoretically, if he is fast enough, he can do anything he wants in that infinitely extended second before Batman can react.
Knowing that Batman Dragon possesses the power of the Bat Mite, the mastermind behind Reverse-Flash's betrayal, Mo Cun, naturally also gave Reverse-Flash something that could truly harm Batman.
On Reverse-Flash's left little finger, there is a bit of power that, according to him, comes from the sixth dimension.
When this power pierces Batman Dragon's body, it can quickly render the opponent powerless to resist, just like a scorpion stinging a strong human with its stinger.
The toxicity will directly attack the central nervous system, and has nothing to do with the function of muscles and fascia.
Even if the opponent had mastered the complete power of the bat mite, they would lose their power for a short time, let alone the fact that the opponent only mastered a part of it.
The mastermind behind this, known as Mo Cun, will inevitably give Reverse-Flash the Sting, a weapon powerful enough to retaliate. This Sting was originally intended to be used to cut off Batman's chance of escape after he was tricked into the machine by Reverse-Flash, but now that Batman hasn't fallen for it, the Sting has become Reverse-Flash's trump card in a desperate gamble.
Batman continued telling his story, and Reverse-Flash couldn't understand how the other man could still have the mood to tell these meaningless tales in such a confrontational situation.
They were like cowboys about to draw their guns and exchange fire; in this invisible confrontation filled with malice on both sides, his heart was pounding wildly.
He heard Batman say, "Batman broke their guns like firewood with his knee. He beat his imitators to a pulp, then threw them to the police and drove off in the Batmobile."
Chen Tao turned to look at Reverse-Flash: "And at that time, an imitator arrested by the police angrily questioned Batman, just as angrily as you are today."
He said, "What's the difference between you and us?"
In that instant, Reverse-Flash launched his attack. The red Reverse Speed Force and the golden Speed Force intertwined, both illuminating Reverse-Flash's body simultaneously.
The light illuminated Chen Tao's face in an instant, as well as the silvery-white particles that shone on his body.
puff!
With a soft thud, Reverse-Flash's hand pierced through Batman Dragon's chest. Then, Reverse-Flash forcefully slid his hand away, and the enormous impact sliced Batman's body in half. But before Reverse-Flash could even show his satisfaction, he saw the "Batman Dragon" in front of him turn into a mud-covered face.
In an instant, the reverse lightning transformed into yellow lightning and fled into the distance, but it was too late.
In a very short time, he had already run nearly hundreds of thousands of kilometers. His speed force made even simple movement seem like teleportation.
But a thin blue membrane created by the fifth-dimensional divine power rose from the distant horizon like a net, then rapidly contracted, trapping the reverse lightning like a flying insect within it and bringing it back to Chen Tao's front.
Reverse Flash tried to raise his left hand, but the next second a flash of light appeared, and his left little finger was severed at the root with a scream.
Chen Tao's figure appeared beside him. The moment he appeared, he turned the illusory body he had left behind, constructed from mud and the power of the fifth dimension, into ashes. Then he stretched out his hand, and his thumb appeared in his palm. Chen Tao carefully examined the scorpion's stinger.
"It's been modified by some kind of sixth-dimensional divine power." He made a rough assessment: "It's classified as a pure weapon."
As the Batman Dragon, who occupies 1/4 of the Dark Multiverse's dragon position, Chen Tao's current identity is 1/4 of the subordinate god of the sixth dimension, and also an engine without fuel.
But a subordinate divine position is still a divine position, at least stronger than the dog divine position of the Anti-Monitor Dragon. He could sense the power on this thumb through this divine position, an extremely pure, rare, and pristine sixth-dimensional divine power, with no weaknesses except for its small quantity.
Reverse Lightning trembled its body at a high frequency within the blue membrane. Chen Tao turned to look at him and said, "Don't try it. I can also use the technique of trembling my body at a high frequency to pass through particles. The energy field surrounding you is trembling in the same way. You can't possibly pass through the energy field binding you with this technique. I advise you not to try anymore. It will only exhaust you."
The reverse flash voltage didn't even notice him taking a deep breath, and then it turned itself into a blur again.
This is actually a rather dangerous act. Vibrating your body to pass through something could potentially cause you to get stuck, as the Flash can attest. Forcing your way through something that is impassable will also result in the same outcome.
However, Chen Tao had already prepared for this situation.
He shrugged: "Of course, to ensure your safety, I've set up a mechanism so that if you can actually pass through this energy field, it won't trap you halfway through, turning you into a dead person with your body stuck in the energy field."
He said, "But soon you'll find that there's another energy field after you pass through one. I won't let you escape, understand?"
Reverse-Flash finally gave up and stopped his pointless actions.
He just stared intently at Chen Tao.
"What was the ending of that story again?" Chen Tao asked.
"When asked what the difference was, Batman knew he couldn't answer."
He spoke slowly.
"Because for Batman, both he and his imitators are essentially lawless vigilantes who violate the law. They have no law enforcement authority, and their actions are based on moral principles rather than legal principles."
"So you know what? In fact, that Batman impersonator wasn't wrong; they're all the same. But would you like to hear Batman's answer to that question?"
Reverse Lightning closed its eyes.
"Kill me."
Chen Tao almost burst out laughing at his act, but he knew the other person was desperate and that it would be impolite and provoking him, so he held back.
"Batman said, 'I'm not wearing hockey gear,'" Chen Tao said. "You see, it's a joke, but it's also a real reason."
(Note: The Batman anecdote mentioned by Chen Tao here is based on the plot of Nolan's live-action Batman movie.)
Chen Tao slowly walked up to the trapped Reverse Lightning. He looked down at the other's eyes, and a gentle breeze ruffled his cloak, making him look like a large humanoid bat standing on the ground with its wings spread.
"You ask me what the difference is between us? Well, let me tell you, listen carefully."
"I will not fail, nor will I lose. Whatever the consequences, I can control them. Batman always has a plan, and when Batman challenges someone, no one can ever beat him."
"Because I am revenge, I am the night, I am Batman, and you—you know, Batman will always win. It's an eternal law of the entire multiverse."
Chen Tao suddenly turned around, looking at the vast darkness in the distance. He said in a mocking voice, "Isn't it? Some cowardly mastermind, a villain who manipulated the foolish Reverse Lightning to attack me?"
He shouted, "Do you really think these kinds of schemes can manipulate Batman? Do you really think you can bypass Batman and control everything, like playing with pawns and puppets?"
He said, "I've found you, whoever you are, whatever you want to do."
His voice echoed through the night sky: "You will definitely fail."
Boo!
Deep within the multiverse, the World Forger blankly waved his hand, closing the display window that was floating in mid-air before him.
He could still picture Batman's burning eyes as he glared into the darkness.
The flames exploded through the window he used to peek into the World Maker's face, though Batman didn't notice the World Maker's spying, he guessed it.
The World Founder slightly raised his chin, lost in thought.
He had been peering through this window at the current state of the battlefield in the multiverse, and just now, he had witnessed Reverse-Flash's dismal performance and catastrophic failure.
It's utterly unbearable to watch; there's no point in continuing. In short, it's garbage.
The thought of how much he had wasted his breath on this good-for-nothing—using Mocun's pseudonym to deceive people, painting a grand picture of the future for him, and making promises to the world's forgers—made him feel like he had completely wasted his time.
He had given Reverse-Flash enough support, but the other guy couldn't even manage to injure Batman. Useless, utterly useless. He shouldn't have relied on these defective beings from the Dark Multiverse; their intelligence and abilities are flawed, completely different from their counterparts in the main universe. They are inherently incomplete.
You shouldn't place your hopes on the other person.
The world's foundry workers took a deep breath.
Fortunately, he hadn't put in much to begin with.
Batman didn't actually notice him. The World Maker knew this, but they had only discovered that someone was manipulating Reverse-Flash behind the scenes. Indeed, Reverse-Flash's change was too 180 degrees. Under normal circumstances, his attitude could not have changed so drastically.
But what good is it if Batman discovers it? He only knows there's a mastermind behind it all, but he doesn't know who it is. He can only shout into the darkness, but he has no idea where the enemy is.
So what if he failed? His other plans haven't gone wrong anyway.
The Emperor Joker can stop Parallax Morhal, and the Black Death Emperor's darkest night is about to begin.
With Barbatos and Brainiac still pursuing him, Batman's fate is the same regardless of whether he gets injured or not.
……
……
……
Meanwhile, upstream of the super-time stream.
The Emperor Joker clung to Parallax Mohal's leg.
"Stop fighting, I surrender!"
