Chapter 691 Everyone was thinking about jumping up and launching a sneak attack.
Zul'Ah Batman was breathing heavily.
At this moment, he was trapped in a dark multiverse, an ordinary dark multiverse with no special features, at most a little broken.
A major collapse.
The Ancestral Bat stared expressionlessly at the post-apocalyptic wasteland below, filled with bats with human faces.
The Gotham villain's Human-Bat Potion can turn a living person into a giant flying bat and directly connect the victim to the magical power of the Red of All Beings.
In this dark multiverse, the potion seems to have mutated, turning into something like a zombie virus that transforms all living beings into some kind of zombie bat monster with half its face rotting. Even the red of all living beings in this universe seems to have merged with the black of decay.
Of course, no matter how terrifying these viruses are, they cannot infect the Ancestral Batman, because he is the Batman of the main universe, or at least a form composed of one of the other's ribs and a secondary personality.
His existence naturally creates a dimensional reduction attack on all living beings in this universe, much like colliding a metal figurine with a ceramic figurine.
Due to Barbatos's wicked deal with Batman Dragon, Zul'Aman Batman is now like a cream puff, filled with all sorts of metals.
Once the deal between the two evil villains is completed, the Ancestral Bat will be stuffed back into Batman's body in the main universe, becoming a rib again, along with the metal, eventually turning him into a door.
So now, Zul'Ah Batman knows he's become the key player, the crucial element in the deal between those two villains. He's desperately stretching out his only functional head, trying to break free from the enormous square-shaped object beneath him—
He certainly couldn't do that; the matter was created by the combined forces of dark matter cosmic energy and fifth-dimensional divine power, but he was trying.
Barbatos originally planned to store the Zul'A Batman he captured from the main universe in the Forge of the World, but Batman Dragon insisted that such an important place as the Forge of the World would definitely attract the Emperor Joker and the Anti-Monitor Dragon to launch a sneak attack. He convinced Barbatos with a bunch of fallacies and finally ended with "Trust me".
Of course, this "twisted logic" comment is merely Zul'A Batman's subjective judgment; he can't understand why Batman Dragon would do something so meaningless.
After falling completely into Barbatos and Batman Dragon's trap, Joaquin Batman felt like he was blind and deaf, and after being tormented by the two villains, he no longer had the strength to even rage.
"roar……"
The ancestral bat turned its head and roared at the zombie bat monster next to it, its jaw almost drooping to its belly button.
Meanwhile, the smaller zombie bat slapped the first one across the face. Around the neck of the smaller zombie bat was a string of pearl necklaces.
Clearly, these two zombie bat monsters are Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne from this universe, who are controlled to guard Zul'Aman's Batman.
Zul'A, the Batman, watched indifferently as the two zombie bat monsters slapped each other.
He really wanted to die.
Literally, only his death could stop the two villains' conspiracy.
In short, Batman Dragon and Barbatos have set a trap for potential invaders in this universe. Once an entity from another universe is discovered to be invading, Barbatos's energy will self-destruct, destroying this universe devoid of any living intelligent life and transferring Zul'A Batman to the next universe.
Barbatos was thus persuaded to choose this place over the World's Crucible.
No matter how you look at it, all of Batman's escape routes are blocked, unless...
Embezzlement by the person in charge?
A Batman opens a portal and appears in front of the original Batman.
The Wayne couple, now transformed into zombie bats, immediately turned around alertly, only to find their son, Bruce Wayne, approaching them.
So the two bat-like monsters roared and shook their jaws as they ran up to the new Batman and pressed themselves against him.
Bruce! It's my son! Stick it on!
"Hey guys, he really didn't attack me," the newly appeared Batman said excitedly, followed by another, slightly older Batman who appeared from behind him using teleportation abilities.
He looked at that younger version of himself.
The two zombie bat monsters seemed far more excited to see young Bruce than to see Zul'A Batman. They licked young Bruce from head to toe like dogs, leaving copious amounts of saliva on his body and face. The next moment, young Bruce had a breakdown.
He let out a roar, almost turning into a zombie bat monster in front of everyone. The older Batman reacted quickly, raising his antidote gun and shooting the antidote into the young Bruce's back. Then, he pulled out a crowbar from somewhere and knocked the two aggrieved bat monsters to one side of the room.
"It's strange to be acting with my younger self... but I think we should get started now," the older Batman sighed. "We need to hurry."
Next, the portals opened one by one, and one Batman Bruce Wayne after another walked out of the portals. They were the Dark Multiverse Batmen who had been captured and toyed with by the Batman Who Laughs in his own universe. Chen Tao had rescued them and used them as tools, and now it was time for them to make their appearance again.
Batman Dragon and Barbatos altered the biological logic of the two Wayne bats, setting them to protect Bruce Wayne, and the Ancestral Bat is Bruce Wayne.
However, there is a loophole in the biological logic of this machine: Chen Tao deliberately did not set up specific "several" Bruces to protect these two creatures.
He left a bug as a hidden door in this operation, which caused the protection program he and Barbatos left together to fail to attack the ordinary Bruce Batmen of these Dark Multiverses.
"You..." Zul'Ah Batman tried to plead for help from these dark multiverse entities, but was met with a shake of the head and a refusal: "No, we can't do that."
"What do you mean?"
"Hey, if we put you down now, Barbatos will find out immediately."
Some of the Batmen are taking care of the clumsy young Bruce who has contracted the virus.
One of the other Batmen who hadn't done any work explained to Zu Bat, "Don't worry, Batman always has a plan. We're here to help you, understand? Everything will be alright."
The ancestral bat stared at him.
Okay, I believe you, but the problem is, having a plan is having a plan—
But why are you...?
"What do you want to force-feed me?"
He angrily rebuked the other man, but in his current state, he couldn't stop the other Batmen from grabbing his nose and forcing a mouthful of blood down his throat—human blood.
Some kind of magical ritual?
Zul'Ah, Batman, gasped for breath, spitting out the blood that almost got into his nose: "Tell me what happened."
"What we just gave you was the blood of Batman Dragon," an older Batman told Zubat. "This blood contains the magical power of the Crimson of All Beings, which, guided by the power of the fifth dimension, allows us to help Batman Dragon share power and status."
"What is the specific use of this?"
"I don't know," the old Batman replied. "Batman never tells anyone his plans, but if you ask me, we are all Batmen, and maybe you can guess a little."
"Okay...yes, I did guess some of it." Zul'Ah Batman lowered his head.
He had already guessed who Batman Dragon was targeting with this setup:
Barbatos.
This means that the alliance between the two villains is far less solid than Batman Zul'Aman imagined.
Enemy, friend, ally, betrayal, exploitation, backstabbing—all these are tangled together in a chaotic mess, staging one absurd drama after another, except for the very last moment…
Who can tell the difference?
Okay, but this situation has nothing to do with Zul'A Batman.
At this moment, he was still a chess piece, completely unaware of where the player on the chessboard would place it, or whether this move was a divine move to kill a large group of stones, or a useless idle piece.
……
……
……
Those trapped in this situation are slowly waiting.
He is waiting for the right opportunity.
On this chessboard, all the players are striving for victory. Even if they cannot gain more benefits in this game for the time being, they will do their best to weaken their opponents in order to ensure a greater advantage in the final battle.
And what about those who are in a precarious situation? So far, they seem to be detached, neither winning much nor losing much.
But for those trapped in this situation, it's either a win or a loss.
It was a timeline error that had long been erased. Its essence should have been made into an ordinary Superman Supreme in a dark multiverse, and then drifted away and died under the fate woven by Barbatos, or something like a "Batman Supreme" should have been created.
However, due to the time-lapse created by Batman Dragon, he reappeared, and the essence of the Time Trapped within the bodies of the Superman Supreme of the Dark Multiverse was also reabsorbed by him. Even the "essence" of existence was absorbed and fused by him, forming his "existence" and power.
The problem is that, despite possessing power almost identical to that of the real Superman Supreme, the Time Trapped is still a mistake on the wrong timeline.
As long as the event of "Final Crisis: Legion of the Three Realms" is not erased, and as long as the "history" of the Supreme Superman punching the Time Trapped in that event is not changed, the Time Trapped will always be shrouded in the shadow of "erasure".
The Time Trapped One knew that one day he would have to go back and try to erase the "Three Realms Legion" event in order to prolong his existence. Until he did so, he was always a super-sized time remnant, essentially no different from the clone that the Flash created after jumping a minute into the future using the Speed Force, only more advanced.
The Time Trapped needs power; he must reverse history without coming into contact with Superman Supreme, something he cannot do on his own.
That's why he has to do what he's doing now.
The Time Trapped, disguised as the first Lantern Man, lay there watching coldly as Batman Dragon and Barbatos made their efforts.
Once they have unbound all life on Earth 1 from the spirit of existence on Parallax Mohal's chest, that will be the moment for the Time Trapped to act.
He rubbed his hands, which were hidden behind his back, slightly.
The Antimonitor Dragon granted him the ability to seize Barbatos' power, and some antimatter universe attached itself to the bones of his forearm at the base of his hand.
The moment they succeed will not only be the best opportunity for the Anti-Monitor Dragon to control Parallax Mohal, but also the best opportunity for him to launch a sneak attack on Barbatos.
He was able to use the power granted by the Anti-Monitor Dragon to pierce Barbatos and extract Barbatos' dark matter cosmic energy.
The power granted to him by the Anti-Monitor Dragon will help him destroy the Barbatos' will contained within these dark matter cosmic energies, allowing him to completely seize these powers and make them his own.
These dark matter cosmic energies can enhance the abilities of the Time Trapped, at least granting him more convenient abilities beyond the simple superhuman strength and heat vision of Superman Supreme.
Those trapped in this situation have already made up their minds.
He wasn't greedy; he only needed a portion of Barbatos's power. Once he obtained that power, he would no longer get involved in the current great war in the trans-timeline, and he didn't even plan to participate in Brainiac's creation of the multi-dimensional fusion event. He wanted to focus on returning to the upstream of the trans-timeline to deal with the problem of Superman Supreme.
Not everyone can be as alive and kicking as Reverse-Flash, Al Bernderswan, who was cut in half by Thomas Wayne in the Flashpoint timeline of the main universe.
(Note: In the animated version, he was shot in the head.)
Moreover, Reverse Flash is just a simple timeline, while the Time Trapped must defy the super-time flow.
The biggest weakness of the Trapped One is that his existence is completely without any support. At most, he can put on a fake skin as the "Dark Multiverse Supreme Superman" in front of the Time Flow, just like the Anti-Monitor used Barbatos to put on the skin of the "Dark Multiverse Anti-Monitor" before.
But this cannot fool the time flow indefinitely. Among all people, those trapped in time are the unlucky ones who are constantly being chased to their deaths.
Almost there, almost there! The Time Trapped finally got his chance. He saw Batman Dragon let out a long breath, like a strong man who had been drained dry by a fox spirit.
Barbatos also let out a long breath, filled with exhaustion and trembling.
At the same time, the attacker launched a strike that was as white as a rainbow piercing the sun.
"Drink!" He suddenly jumped up from his disguise, but William Hand jumped up with him.
And Batman.
And Barbatos himself.
The group exchanged glances, and a moment of awkwardness ensued.
