What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 799: Alas, the World Forger, this is not something Batman likes

Philosopher Hume said in "A Treatise of Human Nature": Reason is, and ought to be, the slave of the passions.

While Superboy-Prime and the Anti-Monitor were beating up the evil-minded dignitaries like sandbags, Chen Tao and Hero Day were enjoying this rare...

Uh……

Leisure time?

The Batman Who Laughs has been carried away, and he fled in panic, waiting for Superboy-Prime and the Anti-Monitor to kill the evil dignitaries, and then use the Dark Night Metal to create enough crisis energy.

Their fragile alliance will immediately fall apart, and they will start to fight each other until their brains are fully grown.

What’s interesting is that everyone in the entire league knows about this.

"Batman, we caught Barry, but he's acting strangely now. Laughing Maniac took away Cyborg's half of the metal body, and he kept it with him all the time, so we didn't get it."

"Ah."

Chen Tao pressed his temple with his hand. Lex Luthor and the others had achieved their goal, at least part of it.

"Well... If the Laughing Bat has given Barry enough drugs, you should first put him away. And as for the World Forger..."

"I see."

Chen Tao and Luther didn't talk much. Luther knew that Batman now had to concentrate on dealing with the group of troublesome guys around him.

After sharing the information about the old Falcon with Luther, Luther also has his own plan in progress. As for Cyborg...

Chen Tao rubbed his chin, then glanced at Yu Xiao who was following him.

"Why, you don't dare to drink what I give you." He handed over a pot of tea, as naturally as if he had not mixed it with a lethal level of messy control methods.

"I'd be an idiot if I drank it." Yu Xiao said bluntly.

Chen Tao curled his lips:

"Speaking so ruthlessly is not something Batman likes."

He took the tea back angrily and drank it himself to destroy the evidence of his attempt to control others.

Sitting with Chen Tao on Hero Day.

Chen Tao turned his head and heard Yingxiong Ri say:

"Prosocial courage research tells us that altruistic motivation can inspire extraordinary courage. Am I participating in this melee out of some psychological reason that I am not even aware of?"

Chen Tao felt something was not right when he heard what Yingxiong Ri said. He had previously shared some of the power of the Black of Decay with Yingxiong Ri, and then shared the Green of All Things, the Red of All Living Beings and the Spirit of Metal with him.

His original intention was to try to use this magical energy to control Hero Day's body, but Hero Day used this power very well.

Before he fully realized that he might not be a real person, he had never used these powers at all, but now, after Buzz Lightyear saw the TV commercial, he began to abuse the power of the metal spirit given to him by Chen Tao, secretly connecting to the Internet and stuffing some messed up philosophical theories into his head.

simply put--

Heroes Day, learn to surf the Internet!
"Philosopher Hadler believes that when individuals feel incompetent, weak, or unrecognized, they will develop a sense of inferiority. In order to balance this pain, they may compensate for their inner fragility by excessively displaying strength or controlling others."

Hero Day said: "It's like I ran over here and followed you to participate in this terrible fight that only heroes would participate in, and there is a high probability of death, to cover up the fact that I am not a hero at all."

Chen Tao's face turned green as he listened to this.

Big brother, please, stop worrying about it!

When one cannot obtain the right to explain oneself from within, Hero Day tries to obtain the solution to explain oneself from the outside world.

But even with a super brain, philosophy cannot fully explain life and living, otherwise so many philosophers would not have been arguing about it for so many years.

Heroes Day is still chanting:
"This behavior pattern is called overcompensation, and overcompensation is not..."

"enough!"

Chen Tao interrupted him. He opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to use his omnipotent sophistry to brainwash Hero Day or create some chicken soup for the soul and force it into the other party's mouth, but facing the other party's blinking eyes, he finally said nothing.

"Ah, we are really doing something heroic," Hero Day said dully:
"It's a little too superheroic for us to come all this way to save a timeline that's doomed to be rebooted and then say to them, 'This is all going to make sense.'"

He muttered, "That was a pretty heroic feat. If I were a real superhero, I'd probably be able to do even better."

Chen Tao realized that he had no choice but to intervene.

So he organized his words and searched the Internet with the Metal Spirit.

Thank God, even though this is a broken place where the Doomsday Future timeline and the Flashpoint are intertwined, Brother O'Mac has always protected the network very well, and has almost preserved the entire network before the catastrophe, naturally including the content that Chen Tao wanted, so after a brief search, he began to try to answer Hero Day.

"Philosopher Sartre believes that existence precedes essence." He said: "For example, if you are already doing heroic things, it means that you already have the qualifications to be a hero, but you are not aware of it.

I know you feel that way, but it’s a lack of entitlement.”

He thought for a moment, then said, “Just like the outside world always tells you, only those who are smart enough and have elegant artistic cells can appreciate art or nature.

This behavior is essentially the same as "I will be able to enjoy life when I have money." You can find the same sentence in many places, "I will be happy when I find true love", "I will do something when I become smart and strong", but in fact, you are already doing it. "

"When I finish my work, I can retire," said Hero Day.

Chen Tao:?
Well, but in fact, Hero Day seemed to have taken Chen Tao's words to heart, and Chen Tao was very happy that Hero Day could continue to make jokes. In the entire league, he and Chen Tao seemed to be the two most relaxed people, which was particularly precious among a bunch of heavy guys.

"Batman."

Chen Tao wanted to continue giving some chicken soup for Heroes Day, but he felt the message Lex Luthor sent him halfway through his words.

What's going on? Did something go wrong when they were trying to place Barry Allen? "Batman, we have a problem here."

Chen Tao quickly stood up from his seat, the relief just now disappeared from his face quickly, Batman came online immediately, and "Chen Tao" was forgotten.

He put the teapot on the table.

"What's the problem?"

"It's not about Barry, it's about another guy: Lantern Number One."

Chen Tao raised his eyebrows. He remembered the intelligence he had collected before. Lantern No. 1 had reached an agreement with the Laughing Bat and worked for him, but what was going on now?

He had never thought that even in the current situation, the First Lantern would still be so loyal to the Laughing Bat, and even fought with Luther and others for him when he was fleeing.

If the First Lantern is not Luthor's enemy, then the only possibility for Luthor to contact him now is...

"Has Lantern No. 1 contacted you now?"

"Yes, I was contacted."

Luther said, "He plans to talk to you."

Chen Tao immediately subconsciously glanced at the old man Huo Rong who was directing Superboy Prime and others to beat up the evil and powerful people not far away.

It seems that the connection between old Huo Rong and the first Lantern is weaker than he thought. This old guy has been stirring up trouble without telling his past self, which is quite interesting.

In fact, Chen Tao had already guessed the identities of the group of Third Legion members and Shadow Huo Rong beside the First Lantern, but the old Huo Rong did not join the "I in the past disguised myself as a member of the Third Legion to help you" system.

The evil nobles are actually a general term for many of the Hand of the Void's subordinates, but the one in front of him is obviously not a weakling among the evil nobles—

But even though he's not a weakling, it's impossible for him to survive being beaten by Superboy-Prime and the Anti-Monitor for so long!!!

Therefore, the more important reason is that the Laughing Bat used the evil-minded dignitaries and the three timelines to strip away the main universe, controlling the cosmic tuning fork to take away a large amount of crisis energy.

Part of this crisis energy was taken away by the laughter, and the rest was all on the Evil Noble. The Evil Noble almost relied on consuming the crisis energy to resist the attacks of Superboy-Prime and the Anti-Monitor.

Not everyone has the ability to survive being beaten by Superboy-Prime and the Anti-Monitor for a while. It is already very impressive that the evil and powerful people can consciously use these crisis energies to protect themselves after being punched on the head.

On the contrary, Superman-Prime is a little cautious. They can't use their maximum power to attack the evil nobles, because the crisis energy in the other party's body is the cake that they can share, and the evil nobles are wasting these cakes to protect their bodies, which is simply the biggest waste!

Fortunately, they still have the old Huo Rong on their side. He has been giving advice to the two of them, and every advice he gives can hit the enemy's weak points, so the speed at which the evil and powerful are being consumed is getting faster and faster.

"Ah!!!!" He let out a piercing scream, his giant one-eye staring at Superboy-Prime and the Anti-Monitor beside him, and then he insulted:

"Come on Prime. Superboy, you know exactly which bastard destroyed your hometown? Yes, it's this guy standing next to you right now, he killed your..."

The Anti-Monitor expressionlessly grabbed his jawbone and tore it apart, but it was quickly replenished the next second with the help of crisis energy.

"You're fighting alongside your enemies, Superboy-Prime, you—"

Superboy-Prime grabbed his horn, broke it with force, and then stabbed it into his abdomen.

"What am I?"

The evil noble was still spouting, "You actually teamed up with your Earth-killing enemies? You are not worthy of being Superman-Prime, you idiot, you..."

Even though he was cursing, the evil and powerful were afraid.

If you hand over these crisis energies, you will die. If you don't hand over these crisis energies to protect yourself, you will die anyway after a while when the crisis energy is gone. I'm afraid this is the most unsolvable situation.

The evil-minded powerful can do anything; he can do anything.

No matter what he did, it would not affect his being beaten now. Once the energy is exhausted, that would be the day of his death. What a desperate way to die.

"That's enough. Even if you don't consider your girlfriend, you should consider your mother—"

The next second, half of his huge head disappeared. A huge red fist pierced through half of his body, and Superboy-Prime's eyes flashed red.

He said nothing, but tore the body of the evil and powerful man into pieces again and again. He seemed not to react to the other party's words, but just looked at the anti-monitor with his eyes getting colder and colder.

The evil-minded powerful man who tried to drive a wedge between the Anti-Monitor and Superboy-Prime got himself beaten up again.

After being beaten for a while, his consciousness became weaker and weaker. With the help of the old Huo Rong, he would spit out crisis energy from his mouth from time to time, which was then sucked away by the Anti-Monitor using the Cosmic Tuning Fork.

Yu Xiao, who was sitting next to Chen Tao, had a gloomy face.

Originally, the cosmic tuning fork was under his control, but his authority to control the cosmic tuning fork all came from the Anti-Monitor and the Monitor. Now that the Anti-Monitor himself has appeared here, and the Monitor is hiding behind him and not showing up at all, he himself has directly become the person who controls the tuning fork.

The reason why Owl, who previously controlled the tuning fork, was still able to sit at the table and eat was entirely because the life essence of the New 52 Superman existed in his body under the protection of Dr. Manhattan's power. Even when he helped him stabilize the timeline, he was also monitoring whether Owl had fulfilled his previous promise to Dr. Manhattan.

Don't think that the things given by the big blue bald head are good. Do you think that he gives you things without paying any price? The big blue bald head has been doing experiments. Only if you are alive and can make his experiments clearer, he will let you go.

Now that Yuxiao's duties have been completely taken away from him, can he be happy?

"Wait a minute, there's no need to do this."

"Huorong, come here for a moment."

Chen Tao temporarily called back the old Huo Rong at this time. He carried Superboy-Prime and the Anti-Monitor, who were about to kill the evil nobles, on his back. He frowned and shared the information that Luthor shared with Chen Tao with Huo Rong:
The above line of information is very simple:
"The First Lantern wants to talk to you."

"The First Lantern? The First Lantern should have already joined the World Forger by now. That's what I did."

Then he heard the voice of the old Huo Rong, and when he talked about the first Lantern, there was something... how to say it? Ironic?
Anyway, this is what he said: "Now he is the lobbyist for the World Forger."

Eh, World Forger? That's not something Batman likes.
