Chapter 622 Selling the bat mites to Parallax Mohal!
Chen Tao didn't spend so much time playing with the Bat Mite for no reason. After seeing the Merciless Iron Fist, who should have been dealt with by Bane and his group, emerge, Chen Tao knew that his idea of forming an alliance with the Bat Mite and then quickly finishing the battle had, in fact, failed.
He didn't know what the Batman Who Laughs wanted to do, but according to his original plan, he only needed to eliminate the Batman Who Laughs before he could do anything.
The simpler the plan, the more efficient it is. Wouldn't it be stupid not to crush that disgusting guy's plan before it even begins?
On the other hand, the opposite problem is that if the plan to make a maniacal laugh has already begun, then whatever Chen Tao does will be completely meaningless.
If you think, "The Bat of Laughter's plan hasn't even started yet, I need to take the Bat Mite and go deal with him quickly," you might just fall right into his trap and reap the disgusting reward of everything going according to plan.
Seeking a quick victory has failed; we should now proceed cautiously and steadily.
So... how exactly should we proceed steadily and surely?
The only certainty is that Chen Tao's idea of "taking things one step at a time" is different from what most people think.
Strictly speaking, the bat mite and his play cannot be described as play. Have you ever seen a bat mite play with a Bruce like the Bat Who Laughs?
As for Batman, just as he said at the Fifth Dimension meeting, only a Bruce who doesn't stray from the "core" of Batman would be his object of worship.
……
……
……
"Very good, very good... absolutely gorgeous, buddy."
The Batman Who Laughs looks on with admiration at the Emperor Joker, who is completely encased in the android Robin Joker he created. It is an insult to the other party, but they have temporarily formed an alliance.
"Remember your promise to me, Bat of the Laughing." The figure of the Black Death Emperor appeared beside him: "My help did not come without a price."
"Of course, my dear ally," the Bat Who Laughs chuckled softly. "You will get what you want. Now, it's time to begin our plan."
"What do you want to do?" The Emperor Joker controlled the puppet with a cold face. Compared to the clown in the common people's impression, who often laughed heartily, the Emperor Joker at this moment was more like a cold and hard thug in a suit.
His tone of voice, style of speaking, even his swaggering movements, the way he sat with his back slightly arched as if an invisible cape was spreading behind him, or the handsome posture of a bat spreading its wings in the night... everything about him was full of Batman style, even more like Bruce than the Batman Who Laughs.
He did it on purpose.
How could the Emperor Joker not retaliate when he dared to grin with that repulsive, foul mouth in front of the Emperor Joker, the king of clowns?
In fact, the obvious deliberate imitation and the overwhelmingly pungent bat odor were indeed disgusting to the Laughing Bat.
His tone suddenly turned cold: "You'd better remember that you're not the one giving orders here."
The Black Death Emperor stared blankly at the Laughing Bat and the Emperor Jester with his withered, decaying half-skull face.
As a representative of the realm of death, the Black Death Emperor naturally couldn't understand the disgusting, mocking conflict between the Emperor Joker and the Batman Who Laughs.
This kind of provocative and sarcastic body language is as subtle as pinching someone's foot under the table, or like using a remote control to manipulate someone's mood.
Those unfamiliar with the relationship between Batman and the Joker will never understand just how significant such a subtle insult can be.
To the Black Death Emperor, the Laughing Bat seemed to have simply stopped laughing and then spoke coldly to the allies he had just painstakingly gathered.
"I told you," the Emperor Joker replied to the Batman Laughing in the hoarse voice that Batman was known for, a voice skillfully altered to prevent others from recognizing him.
"I am waiting for your orders."
He said with utter sarcasm, "You're the Batman. Oh, right, maybe I forgot. You're the Batman Who Laughs. You're just Bruce... and far from the best of the best."
The mocking tone was both there and not there, but that was precisely what made it so ironic.
The Batman Who Laughs and the Emperor Joker's gazes met in mid-air. The Black Death Emperor, sensing the tense atmosphere, interrupted, "Alright, you two, I don't know why you're acting this way for reasons I didn't notice..."
"We're dealing with things between Batman and the Joker, sorry," said the Batman Who Laughs.
"Hey, you skull, don't meddle in things you don't know, okay?" The Emperor Joker was more aggressive.
The Black Death Emperor fell silent.
He stood silently, staring intently at the two of them.
However, both the Batman Who Laughs and the Emperor Joker realized that they had no time left for a standoff, so the Batman Who Laughs said:
"Don't worry, everything is going according to plan. I told you I would give you that Batman, the Emperor Joker. In my previous confrontations with that Batman, I've gradually figured out his temperament."
The Bat Who Laughs said, "It's like analyzing the other person, you understand?"
He was speaking to the Emperor's Jester, and also to those around him: "I know him very well... even better than he knows himself."
"Is that why you let the bat mite leave your summoning magic circle? I still think it was a risk," the Black Death Emperor said. "Didn't you prepare any magic to bind it? Or leave any backup plan?"
"No, no."
Black Death Emperor wasn't sure if the other person was telling the truth or simply lying. But it didn't matter to Black Death Emperor.
"If I prepare these things, I risk being discovered by Batman Dragon," the Batman Who Laughs said, and for our plan, the risk of being discovered is the biggest variable.
He turned to look at the Emperor Joker, who seemed indifferent as he fiddled with a deck of cards that had appeared in his hand out of nowhere. Then he turned back to face the Black Death Emperor, who stood there leaning on his massive scythe, waiting for him to continue.
"Did you guys think Batman: Dragon would be some kind and honest good guy?"
Isn't that right? We are the villains. I am a Grim Reaper whose duty is to destroy the world and create death, destined to unleash endless death. You are an evil and disgusting version of Batman, and an even more vicious version of the Joker. No matter how you look at it, the three of us are an evil villain alliance.
The Black Death Emperor didn't say these words aloud; he simply nodded slightly, seemingly agreeing completely with everything the Batman Who Laughs said.
Meanwhile, the Batman Who Laughs continued to spout off: "Batman Dragon dresses like a real superhero, but he's actually ruthless when it comes to doing things."
"This might be an advantage," Black Death Emperor thought silently to himself, standing to the side. "What's wrong with this?"
"He doesn't really trust his teammates' abilities at all. The Dark Multiverse amplified Bruce's distrust of others. He never felt that anyone was a comrade he could entrust his back to."
The spokesperson for death suddenly realized.
Despite having a skull-like face, the Black Death Emperor was not without brains.
"So you mean Batman wouldn't trust the bat mite even if he met it?"
"He means that Batman would directly try to trick the bat mite into giving him all its power, just like I did back then."
The Emperor Joker interrupted from the side. After the Batman Who Laughs finished speaking, he knew what the other party meant. The Batman Who Laughs's subsequent words were not directed at him at all, but rather an explanation to the Black Death Emperor for the reasons he had done what he did.
"But I don't understand," Black Death Emperor said. "Batman could solve the problem by simply persuading the Bat Mite to work with him, so why would he risk everything to obtain the Bat Mite's power?" "It doesn't make sense."
"Batman's deep-seated distrust of others prevents him from doing so," the Batman Who Laughs said. "Deep down, Batman always strives for a 100% success rate in his plans, even though he knows that such a success rate is impossible. But he will still do it anyway."
He said, "I understand both Batman and the Joker... and attacking teammates is Batman's specialty."
"So you plan to..."
"Batman once died, Black Death Emperor. You are connected to him. You are able to unleash the darkest night in this universe. After strengthening your Black Lantern energy in this universe, you will be able to use this Black Lantern energy to establish a connection with the once-dead Batman Dragon."
The Batman Who Laughs said, "While this Blacklight energy isn't enough for you to control it, a strong enough rope is created." He turned to look at the Emperor Joker, who sat there expressionless, dressed as Batman.
"Are you pretending to be my mother?" he cursed inwardly. But he quickly composed himself.
"And at this moment, through this robot... the basis for your possession of reality, the Emperor Joker can grasp this tough rope from upstream of the trans-temporal flow."
On the other hand, if Batman successfully acquires the abilities of the Bat Mite, it would be exactly within the Batman Who Laughs's plan.
Batman's record with the Black Death Emperor is that he is already dead, and his status is that he has escaped death. It is impossible for a person who is already dead to possess the power of a fifth-dimensional being. Once the Black Death Emperor takes action to bring about Batman's death, then Batman Dragon will be unable to stop it.
As Batman is deemed dead by the timeline, the five-dimensional divine power he just ingested will also be affected. Under such circumstances, the Batman Who Laughs does not believe that Batman Dragon can resist the Black Death Emperor's summons.
With just a slight pull from the Emperor Joker upstream, Batman Dragon would be forced to appear in front of him, and then the two of them would have their brains smashed out.
From the very beginning, The Batman Who Laughs never imagined that he would face Batman Dragon head-on, engaging in a real, bloody battle.
Of course, the Batman Who Laughs wasn't entirely oblivious to this...
What if Batman Dragon is pulled upstream in the timeline because of the Emperor Joker's dislike for him, and ends up turning against him and forming an alliance with the Emperor Joker to deal with him?
That's why he let the bat mite go over there and play games with Batman.
He will never let go of any opportunity that Batman Dragon sees as a chance to seduce the power of the bat mite.
And the Emperor Joker would never let go of the opportunity to obtain the power of the bat mite.
This interrupted their possibility of collusion. If Batman Dragon, who was accidentally pulled upstream in the time flow, still possessed the power of the Bat Mite, then he could briefly contend with the Emperor Joker and eventually reach a mutually fearful ending.
But if they lose their power, they are likely doomed. Even if the Emperor Joker says he is willing to cooperate with Batman Dragon, Batman Dragon would probably not put himself in such a dangerous situation, which makes cooperation even more impossible.
The power of the bat mite became a variable, giving the Emperor Joker and Batman a reason to fight, all of which was part of the Batman Who Laughs's plan.
I already said, the Batman Who Laughs plans all of this beforehand; he schemes against everyone and then becomes the ultimate winner. What was that saying again?
A smiling bat is always lucky.
As for the ending where Batman didn't seize the power of the bat mite?
That would still be death. Without the power of the bat mite, he couldn't possibly contend with the Emperor Joker. The Black Death Emperor can control dead creatures, but the target of his control is Batman himself, and whether he has the power of the bat mite or not doesn't really matter.
While the Emperor Joker harbors deep malice towards the Batman Who Laughs, is he really so amiable towards Batman Dragon? If their powers were equal, perhaps cooperation would still be a possibility.
However, without absorbing the power of the bat mite, and being directly pulled upstream in the hypertime flow, facing the Emperor Joker at his peak, Batman Dragon would likely only end up as a rat:
Mice can usually put up a little resistance against cats, but that only excites the cat and further fuels its aggressive instincts.
No matter what Batman chooses, the result is wrong. The Batman Who Laughs's prediction of how much power Batman Dragon has at this moment is quite accurate. Does he really think that he is still in the special enhanced state that can fully exert his power after swallowing more than 3000 heroes?
As for how to deal with the Emperor Joker, who has obtained 1/4 of the Dark Multiverse Dragon's position after Batman Dragon's defeat, that's not a problem that the Batman Who Laughs needs to worry about. For Barbatos, it's just a temporary setback for a powerless contestant like Batman Dragon to obtain this authority; an engine without diesel fuel can't run.
But if a character as powerful as the Emperor Joker were to attain a rank, Barbatos would go mad. He himself rose to power through backlash, and no one knows better than him how to turn on their master.
At that time, Barbatos will help the Batman Who Laughs eliminate the threat of the Emperor Joker, killing three birds with one stone.
As everyone suspected, the Batman Who Laughs had everything planned out.

"Dear Hal, I think we should proceed cautiously and steadily."
"Yes, that's right." Parallax Morhal nodded in agreement after hearing Batman's words.
"Do you want bat mites?"
"What did you say?"
"Bat Mite, I'm going to give you his power," Chen Tao said. "Want to become a five-dimensional being, Hal?"
