Chapter 802 Barbatos: You guys connected pretty well!
Modify the time-lapse history.
Especially when it comes to modifying history that has been solidified for a long time, it's like forcibly chiseling open a cement road that has already hardened.
No one wants to do this more than the Anti-Monitor. If it can truly alter the history of the Hypertime Stream, it can free itself from the failure of the Crisis of Infinite Earths and allow the multiverse to once again witness the great power of the Anti-Monitor in its prime.
But counter-surveillance has never truly succeeded.
The multiverse is incredibly powerful. The DC multiverse is no ordinary multiverse. In the beginning of creation, the mother of the multiverse, Papetua, created DC as a weapon, a weapon to fight against other Source Hand races.
The power of the multiverse is not something a single sixth-dimensional deity can contend with, not even the Anti-Monitor at its peak, which devoured an infinite universe of positive matter.
He is indeed strong enough, but not strong enough to do whatever he wants.
Therefore, even for those who oppose surveillance, this is something they genuinely desire to happen:
Someone might be able to get ahead of him and help him shake up the entire time-travel system.
First, create some small changes in the time flow.
For example, first take away 15 Earth.
The success of the first Lantern Man also benefits the anti-surveillance agents.
Once his plan is complete, Earth-15 will be taken away out of thin air, and while the entire emotional spectrum and the history of the Green Lantern Corps will continue to be preserved in the timeline, that road will probably already be full of cracks by then.
Simply put, the actions of the first Lantern Man will cause more damage to history, making it easier for the Anti-Monitors to shake their own history.
The Anti-Monitor and Batman Dragon were vying for the Crisis Energy, their ultimate goal being simply to escape the time loop more quickly. And now, he discovers that achieving this goal...
Entrusting the task to Lantern Man #1 is more effective than doing it himself.
"I realize that," he said.
The next moment, he controlled Barbatos' body, spreading his arms without hesitation, directly using Barbatos' body to meet the attack of the Supreme Superman:
"Come on, I won't hide!"
boom!
A massive flow of energy pierced through Barbatos's body, projecting a beam of energy as thick as a bucket from his back.
Countless amounts of dark matter energy were ejected from the seven orifices of Barbatos's face beneath his hood.
This punch brought Barbatos's self-awareness to the surface: "You damn bastard, this is my body, my body!"
He shouted and cursed loudly, trying to regain control of the body, but this time it was not as difficult as he had imagined; on the contrary, it was unusually easy.
Barbatos felt his control over his body gradually increasing, instead of disappearing without a trace as before, which made him overjoyed.
He immediately began to struggle desperately.
He forcefully broke free from the control of the Anti-Monitor and the Monitor, and this time it went exceptionally smoothly. In an instant, he expelled a portion of the Anti-Monitor's power from his body. This power, along with a portion of the Anti-Monitor's will, formed a ghost-like blue energy combination downstream in the hypertime stream.
This behavior also caused the watcher who had been hiding inside Barbatos' body to be expelled.
The monitor didn't show any regret, but Chen Tao sensed it.
He seemed to have some kind of ulterior motive and plan against the anti-surveillance agents, but all of this vanished without a trace after the anti-surveillance agents inexplicably and suddenly gave up.
At least that's how Chen Tao saw it. He had too little information to deduce the whole picture.
The anti-monitor, who had deviated from Barbatos's body, did not seem to be angry about the failure of his plan.
He turned to look at Batman.
"We will meet again, Batman Dragon. We will meet again at the crucial moment."
The anti-monitor winked at Chen Tao: "It all stems from your choices, Batman Dragon. You caused all of this. You are the culprit. But now history has given us a chance to change things. The time-travel has given us a chance to change things."
I will wait for you when that opportunity comes, waiting for you to steer history onto the right path, just as Heroes' Day did.
It's clear that the anti-surveillance agent wasn't referring to the Heroic Day standing beside Chen Tao at this moment, but to the true Heroic Day, the true hero upstream in the trans-time flow. In those untold stories, he was the protagonist who changed everything.
He reversed... 200 years of the main universe.
Beside Chen Tao, the Heroes of the World Forgers raised their heads in a daze.
It is a story no one knows, and the name of Heroes' Day will be lost in the vast torrent of countless syllables in the multiverse until no one knows it.
He returned to the embrace of death, along with his timeline.
After being reversed, did the timeline truly dominated by Superman guide the fate of the DC multiverse in a better direction?
It seems not.
The nature of the multiverse dictates that killing, chaos, and crises will erupt endlessly, a problem that Superman cannot solve.
but……
For the true Heroes' Day, and for everyone who will become a Heroes' Day in the future.
They will all choose to do that countless times.
"And you, Monitor." Although the Anti-Monitor had been expelled from Barbatos's body by this time, he was still invincible with only a wisp of energy left, as if he were the victor and everyone else was just grass.
"Don't think I didn't guess what you've always wanted to do; you won't succeed."
The anti-surveillance person's disgust for the surveillance person was palpable. He refused to even call the other person by their name, and instead addressed them as "you" and used that as a substitute for their name.
"No matter what schemes or plans you have, don't even think about it, you can't stop me."
The Monitor showed no reaction to the Counter-Monitor's provocation, manipulating himself as if he hadn't even heard the other speak. The blue shadow made of energy vanished into thin air.
Then the anti-surveillance agent turned to look at the elderly evil spirit standing not far away and chuckled coldly.
"Great. Well done, you won, but you better remember that this win wasn't a real win for you, it was all of us letting you win."
For some, you are an experiment; for others, you are an icebreaker paving the way forward.
He stretched out his finger and shook it in front of the old man, Huo Rong.
"You still have a long way to go, but no matter what."
He uttered a deep, resonant sound: "Good luck."
The next moment, the energy avatar of the anti-monitor vanished into thin air, and he and the monitor left the scene, catching Chen Tao off guard.
He originally intended for the Anti-Monitor and Superman Supreme to check each other, but the two sides suddenly backed out halfway through the check, which was a bit too frivolous!
Chen Tao was so bewildered that he didn't even have time to think about what the other person had just said.
He contacted Barbatos immediately.
"Waaah, great Lord Barbatos, I've finally rescued you..."
Taking advantage of the Anti-Monitor's sudden and inexplicable release of Barbatos, Chen Tao chose to immediately boost his favorability.
Although Chen Tao didn't know who saved Barbatos, just tell me, isn't the first person Barbatos saw after regaining consciousness Batman?
Yes? That's correct.
"Finally! I've finally!"
Barbatos opened his mouth; he felt his hands trembling.
Barbatos finally gained his freedom, but at the cost of a mangled body, a penetrating wound from being beaten by Superman Supreme, and other damage all over his body.
Despite being covered in wounds, Barbatos finally got rid of the World Forger and his two other idiot brothers, which was more than a cause for celebration.
He coiled up on the spot, like an old snake in the deep mountains, its forked tongue forcibly extended beyond its nest, and then he met Chen Tao's face.
"Lord Barbatos!"
Upon hearing the other person's mournful cry, Batman Dragon pounced on Barbatos and embraced him.
Wait a minute, isn't this a little weird? Batman's strange sense of loyalty?
Like an Indian man desperately trying to seduce a sheep, Chen Tao hugged Barbatos and started gushing out all sorts of concerned words. But as he spoke, the first thing Chen Tao did was scan Barbatos up and down to check his condition.
It was a complete mess. Apart from the remaining rank members, Barbatos was injured in ways that defied description.
Both the World Founders and the Anti-Monitors have a predatory attitude towards Barbatos.
By employing a two-pronged approach, they have now exhausted their opponent.
Of course, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; given time, Barbatos will eventually be able to…
Snapped!
A Superman-Kryptonian slap, straight across Barbatos' face, landed squarely on his cheek.
Barbatos was stunned; the immense force exploded on his face and surged through his body like an electric current.
It was as if countless screaming Harley Quinns were exploding in his ears, and hundreds of millions of condiment kings were smashing their hot sauce in his nose.
Barbatos felt his head buzzing, and for a moment, he completely lost not only his ability to think, but also his ability to organize his thoughts.
The next moment, before he could even retaliate, he felt the thoughts of dozens of Batmen from the Dark Multiverse invade his brain.
It only took him a few seconds to figure out the situation, and then he almost burst out laughing.
Is it Batman Dragon, and he's trying to control me now?
Barbatos was almost laughing in anger.
How ridiculous! Do you think you can manipulate me in place of the anti-monitors and the monitors with such mere tricks?
But before that, he needs to figure out:
"Why?!"
Chen Tao remained silent.
Barbatos's face darkened beneath his hood.
He finally realized it.
This is an opportunity for Batman Dragon to exploit Superman Supreme's aversion to villains and try to influence Barbatos.
He saw people slowly gathering around him, one by one.
"Don't think that there's strength in numbers. Even a lot of ants are still ants. I only need to do this once..."
Before Barbatos could react, he was hit in the face by a fiery punch from Superman Supreme.
"It's no use, don't think you can..."
boom!
In an instant, half of Barbatos's head was blown off, and his resistance to Chen Tao's mental control was reduced to zero.
Its dark matter energy is constantly distributed to hundreds and thousands of Dark Multiverse Batmen, and after being refined by their willpower, it is poured back into Barbatos's head to corrupt him.
Barbatos was already constantly being bullied by various gods, and its own dark matter energy was not strong. After suffering from this pollution, it was about to crack!
Barbatos managed to repair his head, then used it to spin rapidly: "Wait, we should talk..."
"This is still not enough."
Barbatos overheard Batman Dragon advising Superman Supreme: "Tear his upper body apart and grab his heart. No, I mean the vortex core made of dark matter energy..."
"Yes, turn it in the opposite direction and destroy it! I've studied this before..."
"Okay, you can just punch it and break it."
"I've already studied how to deal with Lord Barbatos..."
Hearing this, Barbatos became even more agitated. These were all things that Batman Dragon had said, and unfortunately, they were all true. As his servant god, Batman Dragon knew Barbatos as well as he knew himself.
"Damn it, you think you can do this..."
Chen Tao broke out in a cold sweat. When they were teammates, he never imagined that Barbatos would be so difficult to deal with.
Superman the Youngster threw a second punch at Barbatos.
Under such violent beatings, Barbatos, who had tried to resist many times but failed, was quickly and completely defeated by Superman Supreme's brute force.
Chen Tao intended to control Barbatos's brain, which was originally impossible to succeed in. However, in this world, no one can resist mind control normally while being beaten by Superman.
Chen Tao is also his attendant god. With the Supreme Little Superman maintaining his injuries so that they don't get worse, Chen Tao can temporarily become the other party's tenant.
A few seconds later, Barbatos's face was full of gloom.
As before, he was controlled again.
"I just chased away the anti-surveillance agents, you two coordinated pretty well."
……
……
……
Beyond the super-time stream.
"I haven't lost yet."
The Bat of Mad Laughter thought silently.
"I will return like lightning... to become the last fox to steal the roast meat."
He thought to himself, "My plan... isn't completely ruined yet!"
