Chapter 496 The Method of Throwing the Supreme Superman into the Sun
I am Batman.
I am also Chen Tao.
I once thought of using ordinary methods to defeat the anti-surveillance agents, but later I learned that such thinking was just wishful thinking.
He was a demon king beyond all my knowledge and experience, unlike any monster I had ever seen before.
Therefore, I must prepare in order to deal with him.
Green Lantern Planet, Mogo.
Mogo is the most powerful member of the Green Lantern Corps, but in addition to this title, he is also in charge of recruiting new members and forging Green Lantern rings.
Yes, Sinestro enslaved all the weapon masters and his people on Kovad to help him forge Yellow Lantern Rings day and night, allowing him to quickly build a massive army that could rival the Green Lantern Corps. But another question remains: what about the Green Lantern Corps? Who are the ring forgers for the Green Lantern Corps?
Mogo.
It is a living planet that can help the Green Lantern Corps forge a large number of rings day and night from its core, which is exactly the ability Chen Tao needs.
"Batman, what exactly do you want? You don't need Mogo. Your mission is simply to hold off the Anti-Monitor and keep him in your universe long enough. After that, your mission is complete. The Speed Force will take over and keep the Anti-Monitor occupied."
Chen Tao turned on the communication, and Night Owl's image appeared next to him.
"It's obvious I'm seizing control of Mogo. You know what I'm trying to do, Night Owl, and you still can't figure it out?"
"You broke our agreement and seized control of Superman Supreme, and now you're trying to take control of Mogo. Do you still think you can defeat the Anti-Monitor?"
Why not?
Then, Night Owl, his face grim, heard Batman's reply, his voice unusually serious:
"In this world, what sustains us is not only waiting and hope, but also..."
Night Owl was somewhat annoyed. Batman was breaking their agreement, taking as much as he could to prolong the life of his world, but it didn't change anything in the bigger picture.
There is absolutely no doubt that Batman and his world are doomed.
He softened his tone: "You're not worried that I wouldn't take your people from Earth with me? I can assure you now." He paused, then finally spoke:
"I possess the planetary heart of my world. This thing can not only serve as an engine to propel a planet, but also help two universes overlap to a certain extent."
He said, "I could choose to overlap this part of the universe with Earth, and then take away a large number of people on Earth when the two universes separate. However, Earth is the center of the universe, and this planet must remain in this universe. Otherwise, the speed force storm it generates will not be strong enough, or it may not even be generated at all, and it will not be enough to control the anti-monitors."
Chen Tao understood what Night Owl meant. Simply put, its operation was to make two universes overlap, and two Earths overlap as well, and then directly capture all the humans on Earth, so that no one would be missing or lost.
"Then I will create a mass teleportation portal covering the entire Earth, and teleport all the humans from your Earth who have appeared on my Earth away in batches, so that they don't fall onto my Earth and turn into meat patties."
Night Owl had clearly prepared his plan. After realizing that it was impossible to escape as he had originally planned and trick Batman and the entire world into dying in place of his universe, he quickly adjusted his mindset and proposed a remedial solution.
This makes his previous empty promises of "I will come back and open a portal to save the people on your planet" seem even more ridiculous. However, Night Owl is obviously thick-skinned and doesn't feel ashamed at all.
Chen Tao seemed somewhat noncommittal: "I want the Supreme Superman."
"Of course, you have complete control over him."
"No, what I mean is..."
Chen Tao shook his head.
He flew along the extremely deep cavern towards the core of the Green Lantern planet Mogo, his voice echoing through the rock walls:
"What I mean is that I need Superman Supreme to obey my commands right now, and I need your cooperation on this, since you control the completely normal part of his personality."
A bad feeling crept into Night Owl's heart. He asked, "What do you want to do?"
Then he said, "Wait, damn it, I knew what you were thinking, Batman. You're really persistent—you're going to throw Superman Supreme into the sun and make him absorb the yellow sunlight?"
He said, "Are you crazy?"
"Why not?"
"You ask me why we can't? What did the two of us do to Superman Supreme? Okay, okay."
The owl paused, then said:
"You've never sat on the Möbius Chair, you don't know how powerful Superman Supreme was in his prime, and you don't understand what kind of beast you're unleashing."
"After Barry Allen possessed my body, I mastered the technique of attaching the Speed Force to a universe or planet. But I could have pushed the timeline of the entire universe forward by 15 days, but I only managed to push it forward by about 10 days, do you remember?"
Night Owl heard Batman's voice: "There's still a lot of Speed Force left in this universe... This Speed Force can push the timeline of the entire universe forward by 5 days, but the universe is so vast. If I were to use this Speed Force, which is enough to restart time, for other purposes, such as accelerating the space within the scope of a planet..."
"Then...it would create a spectacle where one year outside is equivalent to ten or even a hundred years inside the planet..."
Night Owl said, "No, but that didn't work. It turns out that Superman Supreme is unaffected by the time restart of a single universe."
"If Superman Supreme doesn't want this."
"What do you mean?"
"Superman can break free from these changes to him within the timeline!"
Chen Tao said, "He's too strong. It's like he can break free from the influence of any magic. So-called magic and the timeline of a single universe are like thin threads to him. Although they can pull him, he can break them at any time if he wants to. But what if he discovers that the place these threads are pulling him towards can make him even stronger?"
"What if he were willing to initiate this change?"
Owl didn't ask stupid questions like "How did you convince Superman Supreme?" He believed that Superman Supreme would be willing to go inside the sun for a while, gain unparalleled power, and then wipe them all out.
He stated the outcome of Batman's plan directly: "According to your idea, if you throw Superman Supreme into the sun, then he can be... in a short time..."
"Yes, that's right, Night Owl, you're really smart. He can withstand hundreds or thousands of years of direct sunlight in a short period of time, he'll fucking become a god!"
Chen Tao said, "If I can't defeat the anti-surveillance agents even like this, then I don't see any point in struggling anymore."
The owl fell silent.
"You're crazy, but you know that Superman Supreme is a madman. Once you actually do that, there's no way that his beastly personality can control the power of the Crimson of All Beings, and there's also my incomplete Anti-Life Equation. Nothing can control Superman Supreme in that state."
"He'll tear you to pieces, Batman. Given what we've done to him, he'll show you what real cruelty is."
"Then he will restart the cosmic timeline, he will try to restart the cosmic timeline, just like he has been chasing all along."
"He will become a threat even more terrifying than the anti-surveillance agents; he will destroy—"
"You're right! He will destroy the Earth!" Chen Tao said. "At that time, you will have already crossed the boundary between the two universes, like using glue to remove dust from a table, and brought all intelligent life on Earth to your universe."
"Whatever Superman the Supreme does to this remaining single universe, how could it possibly affect the Earthlings in our universe, which is far away in your universe?"
"Think about your plan, Owl. Your universe will become a trolley in the dark multiverse. Superman Supreme only wants to forge a beautiful world that meets his expectations. He'd be asking for trouble to see what happens when his head collides with your trolley."
"And he won't even know you exist. He'll just think you've disappeared and run away. Unless you're incredibly unlucky, you'll never encounter Superman Supreme again in your life. You'll wander the Dark Multiverse according to your plan, and then wait for the opportunity to go to the Light Multiverse—"
"Superman is no threat to you!"
Night Owl fell silent. Batman had thought everything through and arranged everything perfectly, except for one thing—
"I need to take risks. Once the planetary heart that drives my universe forward is activated, my return to save your universe is a huge risk for me. How can you be sure I won't break my promise?"
He asked Batman, "You trust me that much? You believe I'll return and keep my promise without any constraints?"
He said, "You must have taken precautions against this, Batman. You must have a way to control me."
"Yes."
Then he heard Batman say, "I have it."
Night Owl looked at Batman, believing the man wouldn't be foolish enough to say something like Nightwing Dick Grayson.
He liked Nightwing very much, and he projected the emotional resonance of another child onto Nightwing. Night Owl knew very well that emotions were the most irrational thing, but he also knew even more that he loved himself more than Nightwing.
He would never die for Dick, but Claw Dick would.
This is precisely why he has always felt guilty, but even so, this guilt will not interfere with his normal judgment.
"I demand that you hand over everything related to creating the Speed Force storm to me."
"Impossible." Night Owl's expression changed drastically.
He flatly rejected the proposal. Batman was thinking too highly of himself. His original plan was that once the Anti-Monitor entered Batman's universe, he would create a Speed Force storm in Batman's universe. Batman would then restrain the Anti-Monitor until the storm took shape and completely trapped the Anti-Monitor. Then he would use this window of opportunity to accelerate his escape from the universe.
He, not Batman, decides when to create the Speed Force storm. Giving Batman the decision to create the Speed Force storm effectively removes his ability to actively destroy the Batman universe. Who knows what Batman might do?
If he goes back on his word and doesn't use the Speed Force to destroy his own universe, but instead releases the Anti-Monitor from his universe, then chases after it and barges in, and the Anti-Monitor beats up the traitor, wouldn't Nite Owl's entire plan fall apart?
But then, Owl was forced to accept a situation he had not anticipated:
"You think you're the only one who possesses the means to unleash a Speed Force storm?"
Chen Tao said, "I can also create a Speed Force Storm."
Batman, who was heading towards the core of Green Lantern's planet Mogo, waved his hands slightly. Immediately afterward, Owl detected a disturbance of the Speed Force on his owl computer.
He suppressed the rage welling up inside him: "You manipulated the Speed Force of the entire universe! Did absorbing Barry Allen really enhance your abilities that much?"
Night Owl realizes he's shot himself in the foot: Batman's timeline reboot was something he deliberately allowed, intending to show Batman just how invincible the Anti-Monitor truly is, making it easier for him to choose between war and peace later on.
But the current situation is that after Batman absorbed the Flash, his power has exceeded the range he had previously expected. Or rather, Owl's own estimation was correct. If Batman's teammates, namely Aquaman Arthur or Wonder Woman's group, die or enter a state of death, Batman's abilities will increase dramatically!
This is an absurd conclusion. Even the Night Owl himself didn't believe his own judgment before, but now it's exactly what happened.
"I can create an opening through the Speed Force and release the Anti-Monitor before the Speed Force storm fully forms. I want to tell you that I have the ability to harm others without benefiting myself, Night Owl. Give me control of triggering the Speed Force storm; it's better for both of us."
"We check and balance each other."
The owl fell silent.
"it is good."
He said.
Then he heard Batman say:
"If you really didn't break your promise... and if I didn't break my promise either."
"Then everyone will be able to escape successfully, and only I need to stay in this universe to trigger the Speed Force storm, and incidentally completely seal the Anti-Monitor, as well as face the wrath of Superman Supreme."
Night Owl heard Batman mutter to himself, "It's better for one of me to die than for everyone else to die."
The owl remained silent.
A classic example of an insatiable desire for self-sacrifice, and foolish superhero rules...
He thought to himself silently.
Batman's elaborate plan to get rid of the humans on Earth only proved once again that he did intend to carry out his plan. However, there were some disagreements between Batman and him on the details, which led Batman to manually correct them.
Batman's plan doesn't seem impossible.
