Chapter 765 Accepting a Sudden Resurrection Without Reason is Unacceptable
"I knew this would be the result."
The future Batman, Terry, appears indifferent.
"That's a shame," he said. Thomas was already regretting that he had been too hasty and had rejected the other party directly.
Circumstances dictate his actions; he should have feigned compliance instead.
But he... but he was just too tired.
For Thomas, in just a short time, his job has gone from hunting down supervillains between skyscrapers to fighting alongside The Flash to reboot the timeline, and now it's back to where it is.
He had embarked on a long adventure, and he thought he had reached the end of his destiny.
But now the new reality tells him that everything he has done has been in vain.
This may be Batman's fate, or perhaps a curse.
Thomas realized in an instant that he had lost control of his emotions, but it was too late to make amends.
So he simply softened his voice slightly: "I cannot allow my son to die. You want me to help you? Save my son."
He didn't really think the other party could meet his demands. Thomas's understanding of time and space was very limited, and most of his information came from what the Flash, Barry, told him in Flashpoint.
His understanding of all this is far too limited.
"Okay," Thomas then heard the other person say.
He remained silent. He wasn't the type to believe something after just a few words.
"I know you don't believe me, but that's okay," he heard the future Batman, Terry, say. "Crime Alley will happen no matter what, that's undeniable."
Instead of explaining to Thomas why it had to happen, he continued talking.
"It is impossible to taste any deliciousness in a pot of overcooked soup, because the base of this soup is dung. No matter how delicious or wonderful the ingredients are, in the end we are just wallowing in the dung heap."
He said, "Let me introduce you to my master, the World Maker. A perfect world, a brand new world."
Yes, yes, you're absolutely right.
Having acted impulsively just now, old Thomas Wayne's intelligence has now regained its superiority.
No matter what the other party says, the situation is now beyond his control. Even if this old man who calls himself Terry says that even his farts smell like musk, Thomas still has to fawn over him in order to escape.
Regardless of the circumstances, let's get them out of here first. If we can't leave, everything else is just empty talk.
With a whoosh.
In some corner of the super-time stream,
Lex Luthor, with dark circles under his eyes, stood up abruptly and slammed his hand on the table.
Beside him, Hal Jordan from the main universe was cursing and swearing:
"We were completely wrong! After all that investigation, it turns out that the future Batman, Terry, is actually a disciple of the World Forger?!"
He flew directly from his seat, raised his ring, and green light energy emanated from him, making him glow like a light bulb, with every strand of his hair standing on end.
"Enough, I've had enough of this endless testing. Now I have a plan."
I propose that while the Batman Who Laughs and the Time Trapped are busy dealing with Batman Dragon, we storm into the Batman Who Laughs' lair, lure him into sending the Flash back to help, then ambush him on the way, and have everyone attack together to rescue Barry.
"Didn't you manage to pinpoint Barry's location?"
He said, "The back-and-forth probing has come to an end. We followed the wrong line, wasted a lot of time, and then got ourselves into a huge ball of yarn."
I think what we should do right now is kick the ball of yarn away, then cut to the chase and get Barry back first, no matter what!
He became more and more excited as he spoke, and then jumped onto the table and looked around.
"Who's in favor? Who's opposed?"
No one spoke.
Only two of Hal's successors from the main universe, Green Lantern Jessica and Green Lantern Simon from the Green Lantern Corps, spoke:
"We think so too."
"That's right. Once it was confirmed that Terry was one of the World Forgers, this line of inquiry became meaningless. And I simply can't believe we've been led so far down a wrong path!"
Hal from the main universe shouted, "We've been fighting pointless battle after pointless fight against Mecha Diana and his Justice League on that collapsing timeline called Doomsday Future!"
"I must remind you, it's not without reason."
Luther retorted, he was starting to lose his temper; the other person was being too noisy and was affecting his thinking.
"This post-apocalyptic future timeline is very likely controlled by the Batman Who Laughs. If we hadn't stumbled upon it by accident, we might not have known about it until this timeline actually arrived—"
"But for now, instead of worrying about this and that, it's better to just get straight to the point—"
Hal wanted to say something more, but in an instant, William Hand grabbed his shoulder:
"Are you calming down, friend?"
"I wasn't excited at all."
"This is what Hal from the main universe said."
"Alright, but regarding the topic of direct intervention, on this point, I agree in principle with the main universe itself." Beside him, Hal from the Alliance raised his hand to speak:
"We don't have much time to waste, do I need to remind you of that?"
At this moment, his face already had some of Darkseid's obsidian-like skin, and he had completely transformed into [Hal Jordan Darkseid Manifestation].
He held a small ball of Omega energy in his hand, like a Rasengan, as if he were practicing all the time—well, was it really necessary?
"Be careful not to practice too much and Darkseid might come out of your body," the Alliance's Fish-Headed Sea King warned from the side.
"If I'm scared, I should be hiding under Batman's cape right now and begging him to find a way to heal me."
Hal from the Alliance said, "If you're afraid, don't use it. Besides, being afraid won't help. At least William said I can now completely control Darkseid's power, right?"
"Fine, whatever." The Fish-Headed Sea King slapped his forehead, and a few bubbles floated from his head. "But in terms of caution and planning, I think you should prepare a few backup plans for this situation..."
Aquaman, watching from the sidelines, kept scratching his head.
Why does my parallel universe self have so many plans? Is this still Aquaman? This is clearly an Aquaman version of Batman.
"But I still don't understand." Luther steered the conversation back on track:
"We were clearly tracking the Batman Who Laughs, so how did our investigation end up with the World Maker? That doesn't make sense. If Future Terry is one of the World Makers, why has he stayed in the post-apocalyptic future for so long?"
He paused for a moment, then said, "No matter how you look at it, there are suspicious points. But the suspicious points are not enough to prove my speculation."
"So what should we do now? Come up with a plan," said Hal from the main universe.
"We continue to follow the future Batman, Terry."
"What?"
"Oh, I don't think so either, just like Hal..."
There's no need to give up halfway.
"What if he's not one of the World Forgers?"
"Is it still laughing maniacally?"
"I think he's completely self-serving, and we need to keep an eye on him, even if it's just to leave him alone..."
Amidst the clamor of debate, Lex Luthor defied all opposition:
"I have my reasons for making this choice. We've observed Barry's current situation, haven't we? He's currently being used as a useful tool by the Laughing Man, and his life isn't in any immediate danger."
To rescue Barry from the clutches of the Batman Who Laughs, we must thwart all his schemes and weaken him as much as possible; only then will we have even the slightest chance of achieving our goal.
Luther said, "I've decided to keep tracking them. Thomas too."
"Come on, I..."
William Hand pressed down on the shoulder of the main universe's Hal:
"A team can only have one decision-maker."
The main universe's Hal retorted, "Oh, really? You think he's smarter than me?"
He angrily pointed at Luther, and then everyone fell silent.
"I...I still support you, Hal."
Green Lantern Jessica said somewhat weakly, "But I still don't think you need to outsmart Luthor, right?"
Hal: ...
So he concluded by saying:
"Okay, but I still don't think this will lead to anything."
……
……
……
The first Lantern Knight pondered silently in his heart.
Although the World Foundry showed him images of his mother in front of him, he had no real intention of working for the Foundry wholeheartedly.
He didn't believe that the World Forger really had such power to overturn the entire history of the trans-timeline. He felt that the other party might just be trying to use him for a while, and that his mother was just a carrot that the other party threw in front of the donkey to make it run.
Therefore, the first Lantern Knight planned to keep something from the World Makers; he did not intend to tell them about Thomas Wayne, the main universe whom he had just captured.
As the undisputed protagonist of the flawed timeline of Flashpoint, and possibly one of the few superheroes in this world, as well as the ace immune cell of the trans-timeline.
Thomas Wayne from the Flashpoint timeline is protected by the hyper-time flow, making him an ideal superhero—he's practically a licensed doctor.
Once the target is captured, one can exert unparalleled influence on the Flashpoint timeline, without using other means such as magic or the ability to manipulate time using emotional spectrum energy.
Of course, it's best to keep such a useful ace, the first Lantern Knight, for yourself.
He is now going to meet the World Maker, or at least its incarnation.
As he walked toward the other person's location, he racked his brains trying to figure out what he had done that day and how to tell the other person.
"Shadow Calamity."
The first Lantern Man summoned his subordinate, a slightly shrunken version of himself.
He now realizes that the other party is very likely himself after the timeline has been restarted, which means that he failed in the previous timeline.
But it doesn't matter. The fact that the other party is here means that he has succeeded in this timeline. He just needs to make the right choice at the crucial moment and achieve the desired result, then the shadowy figure in front of him will disappear on its own.
As he thought this, he contacted the World Forger, a face made of steel that the other party could control at will. When this face wasn't communicating with him, it was just a wooden half-figure that looked like an ornament, and an ugly one at that.
As he pondered how to fool the other party, a figure appeared in front of him the next moment. It wasn't his mother, but an acquaintance of the first Lantern Knight.
"Hope?!"
The first Lantern Man stared at the other person for a long time before he was shocked to discover that this was a colleague he had met at the research institute before Earth Fifteen exploded. He wasn't particularly familiar with the other person, but they were acquaintances.
He should have perished in the Earth 15 incident, just like Earth 15 and the current mother of the first character, but he appeared right in front of the first character, so real that it couldn't be more real.
The first Lantern Knight pounced in astonishment, almost trembling, scanning the other party with every means he could think of. But no matter how he scanned, it was Hope, the real deal, without a doubt.
He also possessed the ability to manipulate timelines, and in an instant, he used this ability to pull up Hope's entire past life.
He deduced Hope's history from a macro perspective of the long river of time and space, and verified it from a super-time flow based on the other party's history.
But all of history fits together perfectly.
From the smallest detail of Hope's childhood urination to the first words she spoke to the first Lantern Knight, Hurricane, after entering the research institute, their first meeting, and their last meeting, everything is vividly reflected on the timeline of the hyper-time flow.
There is absolutely no problem, and it is not some kind of hallucination.
"Your mother has too much influence on you; I can't simply remove her from the timeline, as that would cause it to collapse. But I can remove any ordinary colleague of yours, because their impact on your life is so small that removing them wouldn't affect the stability of the trans-timeline history."
Then, the first Genie heard the World Builder say, "Is this enough sincerity?"
That's enough, more than enough.
Being able to revive his colleague meant being able to revive his mother. The first Genie completely abandoned his ulterior motives, but just as he was about to speak out...
He heard the voice of Shadow Calamity.
"Wait a minute, accepting a sudden resurrection out of nowhere is unacceptable. Didn't you ever suspect it was a monster?"
The first Lantern Hero heard Shadow Calamity say, "What I mean is, what comes out must be a monster."
But the first Lantern Knight wouldn't listen.
His mind was filled with ecstasy, and he completely ignored the abnormality of Shadow Calamity.
He completely ignored the other person's whisper.
"No, that must be a monster."
Shadow Calamity's voice didn't sound like his usual voice; he seemed to want to remind the first Lantern Knight of something.
But soon, Shadow Calamity returned to normal.
