What bad intentions could Batman have?

Superboy Prime's face darkened.

Chen Tao confirmed that he might have been a little irritated.

An obvious consensus:

Batman never completely relies on Superboy Prime's ability to be convinced.

But he still tries.

"You are Superboy Prime. Even if you are different from the Superboy everyone knows, you are still Superboy."

"From the moment Superman and Batman met, you should know that there is one thing that is obvious, that is, Batman and Superman think and have different views."

He said slowly, slowly guiding the beast of Superboy Prime.

Superboy Prime was not wrong. He knew very well what he was:

A furious beast.

Chen Tao warned himself in his heart that he must not forget this, otherwise he would be bitten by him.

"But as time goes by, I think we should realize that there are always some things we can agree on, such as..."

"For example?" Superboy Prime tilted his head and told Batman that he was listening with an evil question.

"For example, we will never succumb to the demon on our shoulders and fight back against them the way our enemies hurt us."

"If we do the same thing as them, we will become them, which is why I am always worried."

"Bullshit."

Superboy Prime said.

"If that's all, then there is no need to continue the conversation."

He stared at Batman: "About the part about time travelers."

Chen Tao sighed. When he was talking to Superboy Prime just now, he had been preparing to use Bat-Lenyaq to share the memories with Superboy Prime.

He was thinking about which memories should be shared and which memories should not be shared.

For example...

He was not sure whether the Superboy Prime in front of him was the Superboy Prime he knew, nor was he sure whether the ending of that Superboy Prime in the DC comics could also be applied to the Superboy Prime in front of him.

In short, he knew that the Superboy Prime in the bright multiverse had his own original Earth and would return there after his heroic sacrifice.

But what about this Superboy Prime?

What about the Superboy Prime in front of him?

Who is he? He has the name of Superboy Prime and possesses great power, but he appeared on the Origin Wall.

As we all know, in the history of Superboy Prime throughout the DC Universe, he only appeared on the Origin Wall once, that is, before the Flashpoint, when he led the crowd to besiege the Teen Titans with his power greatly reduced, and was sealed by Supergirl and Superboy.

If we speculate according to the normal timeline, then the Superboy Prime in front of us should have experienced the first half of his life in the DC Universe, but the problem is that based on the many encounters between Chen Tao and Superboy Prime, he can keenly discover that in the other's life course, there are many histories that Superboy Prime should have experienced.

(Note: Chapter 248 foreshadowing is recovered, and the self-narration of Superboy-Prime. According to his own description, after he experienced "Crisis on Infinite Earths", he invaded the main universe in "Infinite Crisis" and then appeared directly on the Origin Wall.

In the correct history, he should have been imprisoned in the cage of OA Star, the headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps, after "Infinite Crisis" until the "Sinestro Corps War" incident.

This means that the version of Superboy-Prime in front of Chen Tao directly skipped a long period of life from the "Infinite Crisis" period to the incident when he led the crowd to attack the Teen Titans, including but not limited to "Final Crisis: Three Realms Corps" and "Sinestro Corps War" and other major events he participated in.)

This means that for Chen Tao, everything is unknown and uncontrollable, and he hates the unknown the most.

So Chen Tao thought for a while and finally decided to be frank.

That's right, he has read DC comics, and he just said enough nonsense, enough for him to use Bat-Lenyaq's ability to weave a memory in his mind that has been erased A lot of key information and is full of emotional provocation.

For example... the version that Superboy Prime had experienced.

You see, he was once an ordinary person, and he admired the great character of Superman in the comics who saved the world.

There were no superheroes in his world, only DC comics were published.

Like Superboy Prime, he suddenly found himself traveling through time one day, so he threw himself into the adventure of saving the world without hesitation...

You see, you see, Chen Tao was not lying, he just told part of the truth.

He and Superboy Prime were never the same, at least not completely the same, but he could use a montage lie to package them to be extremely similar.

Chen Tao was confident in telling this lie, at least before just now, he was planning to tell this lie.

But... but he couldn't do that.

Chen Tao was not stingy with lies to maintain temporarily - for example, he once casually coaxed Bane and himself into being brothers.

But for him, whether Bane found out that they were not real brothers or not did not prevent him from controlling the other party.

From the moment Bane lowered his head to Batman, he could never raise his head again. The relationship between them changed from being evenly matched to being the leader and the dominated in the de facto sense.

The lie he told Bane was not so much a lie as an excuse for Bane to cooperate with Batman and a way out. It was completely different from his deceiving Superboy Prime.

Lies will eventually be exposed, and montage lies are still lies.

After all, he is not Constantine.

(Note: DC superhero Constantine, a hero of magic test, is best at pitting teammates, using good friends as consumables and filler babies, and is even worse than Chen Tao)

So he finally said: "We live in the dark multiverse."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, our existence is very likely a reflection of the real world."

"You'd better give me an explanation."

Superboy Prime's face was already ugly, with a terrifying brutality.

"I will share my memories with you." Chen Tao told him sincerely:

"But there are some comic parts about the future and some important content that I can't share with you - in order to prevent some unpredictable consequences, I'm sorry."

He said so, and then shared his memories with Superboy Prime.

About the dark multiverse... those worst results, the dirtiest stories.

He even shared "Tales from the Dark Multiverse: Infinite Crisis" with Superboy-Prime, a bad ending version of "Infinite Crisis", which allowed Superboy-Prime to witness how he was dissolved by Blue Beetle in that universe.

Then he shared several dark multiverse stories he knew with Superboy-Prime...

Those darkest, craziest, and most twisted legends almost made Superboy-Prime furious.

"Ridiculous! Ridiculous! What is Barbatos, the dragon of the dark multiverse? I have never heard of such an existence. What is the world forger, the brother of the anti-monitor... Do you think I will believe these? Do you think I will..."

Chen Tao felt that Superboy-Prime was really a little overwhelmed by anger now. He was not sure whether he could make Superboy-Prime fall into the control of anger again if he released the bloody bull at this time, but he did not do so after all.

Since a method has been decided, the most taboo thing is to change it every day.

"That's bullshit. If we are the dark multiverse, we are the projection of the bright world, the back of the bright world, then my memory...what I have experienced...you are lying to me, bastard, you think..."

But his angry voice was interrupted by Chen Tao's louder voice.

"Shut up! Accept the reality, how long are you going to lie to yourself?"

"You used to be a comic reader! Superboy Prime, so am I, you know the comics you have read, but you should know..."

Chen Tao said sadly: "The dark multiverse was just forged by the World Forger or Barbatos after killing the World Forger in the World Forge for a while.

"Our world is unstable, jumping, and incomplete. Our love and hate have no meaning at all, just a defective product created by a higher-level god with a flick of his finger, or a rough imitation of a more complete version of creation. ”

Chen Tao said: "There is no John Stewart, no Madame Xanadu, no Guy Gardner, no Constantine in our world..."

(Note: the above mentioned are all mainstream characters in DC, two of them are the main players of the Dark Justice League, and the other two are the main players of the Green Lantern Corps publication.)

"Do you think I don't know? Do you think that I, a comic reader who is familiar with comics, don't understand that our world has always been incomplete and will eventually be destroyed?"

"During those days and nights watching over this world, didn't I look back at what I did, didn't I deeply understand that everything I did was just Sisyphus pushing the boulder to the top of the mountain? "

"Have you never thought that I would feel fear? Do you think I am a tireless monster? Do you think I am a cold-blooded machine? "But even so..." Prime Superboy stared at Batman in a daze. Batman took off his cowl. The light of the origin wall illuminated the world in front of him, and Batman was standing in the deep darkness behind him. Those flowers, the sea, the highest souls and the golden age, in a void of history, followed and shouted behind Batman. He almost cried... but it seemed like Prime Superboy's illusion. He only heard Batman's hoarse voice. "This is still my world." "I... the world I live in." He looked at Prime Superboy: "But this is not just my world, it is also your world, Prime Superboy." "Supreme. I... I beg you." Prime Superboy looked at Batman lowering his head in front of him. "Even in the darkest midnight, I still want to show you how much change can be... although I think it may be difficult for you to understand." "Because Prime, you always see the worst side of this world, the ugliest side. "But I beg you, the Supreme, I beg you to forgive us, tell us that we still have a chance to try, tell us that the dark multiverse is not born to end in destruction, I beg you, please give us a chance to believe in you."

"I hope you will do what you have done, Prime."

He bowed his head deeply.

"In that golden age, you and countless great heroes prevented the first crisis (i.e. the crisis on infinite earths). I beg you, I beg you to stick to the ethics of a hero even in the darkest and most dilapidated world.

I beg you to believe that the darkest night will eventually pass, and I beg you to still be able to save the world in an imperfect world, just as you have done before."

"I beg you to never forget who you are, Prime, I beg you, never let anger and hatred blind your eyes and mind."

"You are Superboy Prime, but you are also Superman... Clark Kent."

Superboy Prime was slightly absent-minded... He almost didn't know what to say, but it was only almost.

Then his face became cold again.

"No. Even if you put me down from the wall, I will still kill you." Superboy Prime said.

He told the other party: "I'm not kidding, you are surprised, aren't you? But to me, there is no difference between you and the Anti-Monitor, both are equally disgusting. Maybe the Anti-Monitor is a little more disgusting... but you should understand what I mean.

A broken porcelain does not need to be repaired. Only by remelting it can you get a complete vessel. A broken thing has no meaning to use."

He said: "I will kill you all. Since this is the dark multiverse, I am more capable of reshaping this world, reshaping a better world."

He said: "Don't use the original earth to question my motives. Who do you think I am? I am not a madman who wants to destroy the world because I can't go home. It is an insult to me to define me with such a shallow reason."

He said: "I ask you to understand all this, understand that even if this is the case, I will not change my goal. So even so, will you be determined to put me down from the origin wall?"

But his question got a firm answer from Batman.

"Yes. I will still put you down from the origin wall... If you still want to kill me..."

Prime Superboy saw Batman hesitate slightly.

Then a martyr's resolute expression appeared on his face:

"Do it."

...

...

...

Somewhere on Apokolips.

Darkseid was talking to Nite Owl.

About Batman...about the fact that Batman must submit to them.

That may be beyond doubt.
