What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 800 Why bother to restore an era that has long since vanished?
It's here, it's finally here.

The old man Huo Rong witnessed all this.

He is the most hidden one among this group of people.

He knew a lot of things, such as that Superboy Prime had actually been working with the World Forger in secret. After all, the World Forger's baby multiverse, which was going to create a perfect new world, looked much better than the current universe.

If we say that the previous Superboy-Prime was still a pure reckless man, but after integrating the dark and evil history of the Time Trapper, Superboy-Prime has begun to use his brain a little bit... a little bit, and only when fists cannot solve the problem.

The World Forger reached an agreement with Superboy-Prime, and he also made a deal with the Monitor behind the back of his brother, the Anti-Monitor.

The Laughing Bat has now escaped, and everyone thinks he is out... but that is not true.

Hero Day is actually completely controlled by the World Forger, who is waiting to give Batman a fatal blow at the critical moment.

The World Forger has never appeared in front of Batman Dragon, but he has already invisibly woven a large net that encompasses the entire situation.

Batman Dragon, Anti-Monitor…

The First Lantern has been thwarted countless times by the World Forger's plans.

Even now, when he closes his eyes, the old Huo Rong can still remember the figure holding the huge sledgehammer. In addition to the sledgehammer he was swinging, there were also his indifferent blue eyes.

As the god of the sixth dimension and the master of Barbatos, the World Forger has prepared for many years to create his new world. He is strong and well prepared.

Even Shadow Huo Rong himself knew very well that it would be unreasonable if he could offset this preparation simply by restarting history a few times.

After hundreds of trillions of years of preparation, why should I lose to you just a few times of time to restart?

But Huo Rong did not restart "several times".

He has played this copy to the point where his lifespan is almost at its limit.

As a user of the emotional spectrum, his lifespan consumption was almost zero. Even if he used the exhaustive method, he had already figured out the World Forger's trump card.

And he had come to a conclusion many times before the restart:
During the period of multiverse integration, the World Forger had already become a dominant force, and it was impossible to deal with him at that time.

The only chance to obtain a large amount of crisis energy before the time of multi-convergence to execute your plan to obtain Earth 15 is now.

This is his last and only chance. Even if he fails this time, he has to come back here again next time to have a chance of success.

He has tried many times, and this time he will definitely succeed because the World Forger has no other cards up his sleeve. He has figured out and seen through the World Forger.

The development of things must follow objective laws. The First Lantern has already triggered the butterfly effect himself, causing the World Forger to have a new trump card. All the problems have been exhausted. Now, it is impossible for the World Forger to have new abilities that he does not know about.

At least not at this point in time.

Ok?
When the old man was thinking, he saw Superboy-Prime appear in front of him.

Oh, this was something he had experienced before in a previous time reboot.

Just now, Batman Dragon asked him about the identity of the first Lantern, and he told him the truth.

At this time, Superboy-Prime also lost interest in continuing to beat up the evil and powerful.

When he looked towards old Void, if Void looked at him, he would come to talk to Void. If he didn't look at him, then Superboy-Prime would go to Hero Day.

For the old Huo Rong, most of the time they encountered now was like the 20th or 30th round of the game. He had already exhausted almost all the changes, and there would be no new things that he didn't know about.

"why……"

Old Man Void hears Superboy-Prime's voice.

He whispered like in a dream.

The old Huo Rong knew what was going on.

The monkey created by Batman permanently affected Superboy-Prime's mental state, neutralizing the evil of the Time Trapper and the evil side of Superboy-Prime himself.

The two personalities melted away in the personality of Superboy-Prime, and while they disappeared irreversibly, Superboy-Prime's ego consciousness would sometimes enter a superego-like God's perspective.

Well, to put it simply, it is an illness.

"Why are we so obsessed with restoring a period in history that has long since vanished?"

"In your long life... in your long life, the time you spend with your family is just a tiny, tiny fraction of that time."

Superboy-Prime said, "You want to restore your hometown too, right? Batman Dragon told me that you are Lantern No. 1... So, answer me."

"You are the master of the emotional spectrum, the first person to use spectral energy..."

Superboy-Prime was interrupted by Elder Huo Rong halfway through his words: "The second one, the first one is my mother."

It was an intolerable mistake. Even after coming back so many times, Old Age had never given Huo Rong the option of not interrupting the other party. He always thought that the emotional spectrum was something his mother studied, not his.

"The first person to weaponize spectral energy, the founder of the Green Lantern Corps in a sense, and an indispensable beam in the super-time stream."

"You have achieved so much, why are you still so persistent in restoring an era that has long since disappeared?"

"History has changed, the era has ended. Why didn't he accept the changes of time and history, but acted like a madman, willing to cause so much bloodshed in order to bring back history that can never be brought back?"

Old Huo Rong turned his head away.

"Is all this really worth it?" x2
In their hearts, Old Man Huo Rong and Superboy-Prime uttered the following sentence together.

After that, neither Superboy-Prime nor Old Man Ron spoke.

Whether it is worth it or not is a question that I am afraid only they themselves can answer.

This is not something that can be spoken out loud.

but……

This is what I deserve.

I mean, I tried so hard...

I have paid so much, suffered countless pains, gone through reincarnations again and again, and my youth and years are gone. It’s time for me to get my reward.

is not it?
I deserve a reward, I just want my mother back, I... I will definitely win.

But the old man Huo Rong didn't know that at this time, Hero Day had already gained some control over the body of the World Forger with the help of the Endless Family Sleeper. This was not a new trump card of the World Forger, but a change brought about by the ever-changing history. This change came from fate and the impermanent real world, and this change...

There will never be an end.

But! Even so.

I have to do it again, one last try.

Because this is the only way for mortals who are manipulated by fate to fight against this painful world.

Like an old dragon, falling at the pinnacle of life...

one more time.

Fly with your wings!!!

But now, he also has to help Batman Dragon and World Forger reach a communication and transaction.

Not far away, the evil nobleman let out a final wail, and then turned into a pool of black pus in the palm of Barbatos, who was controlled by the Anti-Monitor. The pus was then stuffed into Barbatos' mouth and chewed.

To be honest, even if you swallow this kind of thing, you dare not fuse these energies. The power of the evil-minded nobles comes directly from the Hand of the Void, whether it is Barbatos or the one who controls him. The Anti-Monitor knows very well what the ripples mean.

After murdering his master, the World Forger, Barbatos once wrapped himself completely in a black robe, with only the huge wings behind him revealing his identity.

But in general, Barbatos directs his temperament in the direction of people.

But now under the control of the Anti-Monitor, Barbatos seems to have turned back into a dog, a puppet, and returned to his ugliest form.

The cruelest thing you can do to a dog is to let him stand up, let him think he is a human being, and then one day, take it all away and tell him:
Even if you are as strong as a tiger, the master is always the master. Even the master's brothers can pull the leash around your neck at any time and leave you powerless to resist, as if the power that makes you mistakenly believe that you are a lion and a tiger does not exist at all.

Then he forces you to be tied to a leash, becoming a complete tool for him to use, no longer a human being.

Chen Tao was only slightly moved, then immediately pretended not to see it and walked away coldly from Lord Barbatos' side. Now was not the best time to save the other party.

Moreover, just as the World Forger was never truly defeated by Barbatos, there has never been any real friendship between Chen Tao and Barbatos.

He was feeling a lot on his mind, and soon, old Huo Rong helped Chen Tao contact the World Forger through Lantern No. 1. Chen Tao wanted to see what the other party could say.

"You have torn the main universe timeline into pieces."

This was the first sentence he spoke.

For the World Forger, what he needs to accomplish is at most a multiverse fusion event. The World Forger does not want to see the trouble that Chen Tao, the Laughing Bat and the Anti-Monitor have caused on the main universe timeline.

"All of this is meaningless to me. The crisis energy you created is not part of my plan, and I have no interest in taking it. But..."

Therefore, he formally proposed a cooperation intention to Chen Tao:
Whoever gets the energy in the end can accept it, but it cannot be given to the Anti-Monitor.

"You can handle these crisis energies by yourselves. In the final analysis, I don't think that this little crisis energy can safely and directly restart the history of the main universe timeline as you planned before. It's all harmless."

Chen Tao didn't care about the condescending tone of the other party when he said the word "master", he always knew it.

"Never give it to the Anti-Monitor. Batman, I know you may have misunderstood me and seen me as a big devil who destroys the world, but I am just absorbing energy from the super-time stream to create my own baby multiverse.

Strictly speaking, I am not a murderer, at most I am a leech that sucks blood."

"But the Anti-Monitor is different. The Anti-Monitor strengthens himself by devouring all the positive matter universe. You should know about the Crisis on Infinite Earths. Didn't that incident teach you a lesson? You should know that the Anti-Monitor brings only utter destruction."

Chen Tao agreed. If we ignore the self-flattering content, it is still possible.

Yes, of course. Why not? The World Forger was his enemy, and the Anti-Monitor even more so.

If it could help eliminate an enemy in advance, why wouldn't Chen Tao cooperate with the World Forger?

"But before we really take action, we still need to examine the attitude of the Anti-Monitor."

Chen Tao said to the World Forger: "We said before that we would give all these crisis energies to Superboy-Prime and let him restart the timeline."

Chen Tao pretended to be as innocent as a white lotus in front of the World Forger, but in fact he didn't want the matter to be resolved so easily.

The World Forger has more than one ally, there is also Superboy-Prime. Chen Tao certainly hopes that Superboy-Prime and the Anti-Monitor will fight each other and both of them will be weakened, rather than him foolishly standing on the side of the Anti-Monitor, or Superboy-Prime to deal with the other party, which will eventually lead to him having to take action personally to destroy the other party's plan.

This will attract hatred.

and so……

Chen Tao gave Yu Xiao an order, and his tone was so matter-of-fact, as if he and Yu Xiao were really in the same group.

"Just tell the Anti-Monitor that we have enough crisis energy."

He said to the Owl of Fools: "Let's see if Superboy-Prime can defeat the Anti-Monitor. You must be curious, right?"

He said, "Don't you think now is the time to blow everything up?"

"There is enough crisis energy accumulated in the tuning fork."

Yu Xiao chose to follow Batman's advice, and then he said this.

He told the Anti-Monitor who was holding the head of the evil noble:
"We can proceed with our plan now. You have to give these powers to Superboy-Prime and start restarting the world."

Yes, Chen Tao thought about it.

He considered that there was a good chance that the plan against the Monitor might involve some kind of backtracking.

But not now, not at this moment.

"……Do not."

Chen Tao looked at the Anti-Monitor.

He knew the other party would react like this.

It's a bit sad that the Anti-Monitor tried to convince Batman Dragon and a few others to join forces to kill Superboy-Prime.

But he didn't know that his brother World Forger was far ahead of him in this step.
