Chapter 601 Reverse Lightning: Elberdswan Reappears, A Grand Stage of Multiverse Fusion
Late at night.
Chen Tao hovered in the night sky above Washington, D.C., in the Queen Hecate world. His body was wrapped in red lightning, a combination of the Red Death's extreme speed and the steel body of Superman's Batman bullets.
The ion shark was forcibly possessed by him, causing his body to glow faintly green in the night sky.
He will begin in Washington, D.C., fly northwest into Maryland, then traverse the entire American continent, fly over Antarctica, and eventually circle the Earth.
He needs to make a rare night patrol to ensure that all weapons that can be used to kill on Earth in this universe are completely destroyed, so as not to cause any deaths after he leaves.
He knew that once he left, people would quickly manufacture new weapons. Although he destroyed the weapons, he did not destroy the steel mill.
But he never intended to confine humans in bottles. He was merely a passerby and traveler in this world. Even though he arbitrarily used his brute force to change this world, he never wanted to permanently reshape it.
In the meeting just now, he organized the Justice League, with Wonder Woman, who had broken Queen Hecate's possession, at its core, and together with the United States and many other governments, reorganized the United Nations.
It's not that there are no opponents; in fact, there are far too many. Greedy politicians, hypocrites, filthy tycoons, cultists, ambitious individuals... When you bend down to look at the ground, the filth that your companions have swept away sometimes occasionally comes into view.
Chen Tao was forced to use the abilities of the bat Leniak to modify the consciousness of a large number of people.
In the comics, the telepath Maxwell Lord (note: this character appeared in the Dark Heart chapter of the fourth volume of this book) once managed to modify the memories of all humans on Earth. Chen Tao only modified and identified some truly influential trash, which was not too much of a burden for him.
Of course, this was an absolutely evil act, and it was even difficult to classify it as something done by a superhero, but Chen Tao had not told the Justice League members in this world at all, nor had he obtained their consent.
Anyway, he'll be leaving this world tomorrow, and no one can question the morality of someone who's leaving.
After he's gone, those damned guys will hand over enough evidence to the police and the public to ruin their reputations, and they'll be sentenced to death. Those who don't deserve to die will continue to keep this country and the world running, just as they always have.
Oh, right, and of course, there's also Chen Tao's most important purpose in coming to this universe: the mages of this world.
They will go with Chen Tao to that world he has long coveted:
That deepest night in the history of the DC universe, in the world of reflections in the Dark Multiverse.
In that world, during the final battle with the Black Emperor, Sinestro did not share the power of the White Lantern with everyone as he did in the main universe, thus causing the entire universe to fall under the control of the Black Emperor.
But even so, that world still possesses the power of the White Light, doesn't it? And that's what Chen Tao needs.
Incidentally, he will also bring a glimmer of hope to that universe.
The mages he brought from Queen Hecate's world would help him break through the barriers created by the Black Death in that universe—ideally, without alerting the Black Death.
This is, of course, the ideal situation.
Chen Tao also considered another possibility: what if the Black Death Emperor...
hum!
Chen Tao's thoughts were abruptly interrupted, and his supersonic movement and the telepathic ability of the bat Leniak that was constantly scanning downwards and into near-Earth orbit also came to an abrupt halt.
He heard a loud bang. In a world beyond human senses, he heard a ripple spread across the surging flow of time. The tremor caused by that ripple echoed repeatedly on the timeline, gradually turning into a soft hum.
Then the sound grew louder and louder.
Earth 1.
The original Lantern Warrior, Shadow Warrior, and the garrison of the 3rd Legion.
Shadow Calamity had just come out of the training room of the first Lantern. He had no idea how many great deeds those Third Legion members, whom he thought were "completely obedient to his orders and only possessed the most basic intelligence," had done behind his back during the short time he had helped the first Lantern improve his strength.
But when he looked up, he also felt the ripples that were constantly vibrating in the trans-time stream.
"This is impossible... Why did Brainiac capture the universe so far ahead of schedule?"
No matter how hard he tried, Shadow Calamity couldn't figure out what he had done to trigger the butterfly effect and change the future. All of this should never have happened to him.
In the shadows, the members of the Third Legion were in complete chaos.
No one understood how things had come to this, until another member of the Third Legion appeared in a flash of blue light. Only then did the Third Legion members realize that although the Batman Who Laughs was not dead, he had still taught the Emperor Joker the location and capture method of the fifth-dimensional creature, the Mischief.
"Absolutely, absolutely we cannot allow the Emperor Joker to gain the power of a five-dimensional being..."
After all the commotion, the members of the Third Army had to face reality: "So what should we do next?"
"It's very simple."
Immediately afterwards, one of the leading members of the Third Army Corps breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go find Batman Dragon."
In the hypertime stream, Parallax Morhal is shaking the ever-distorting timeline.
He was originally unable to see the current situation downstream of the hypertime stream, but his history of leaving his position in the hypertime stream had been solidified in the newly formed hypertime stream downstream. Therefore, the time-limited feedback from downstream to upstream meant that Parallax Mohal's escape was only a matter of time.
He certainly felt the shock brought about by Brainiac, and he knew clearly that a grand stage was about to unfold.
Parallax Mohal's lips slowly curled up, and one fang after another almost uncontrollably protruded from his lower jaw, making him appear even more inhuman.
"What's going on, Hal?"
"No, nothing, Mocun," Hal told his ally. "I was just thinking about something happy."
His gaze passed through the shifting spacetime in his hands, casting it downstream into the trans-temporal flow, towards the perfect universe he had chosen…
And he is about to spread this perfection throughout the entire multiverse.
"You see, I'm a hero who turned bad, and you're a villain who turned good..." he whispered, "but our goals are the same, aren't they?"
"We all want to make this world a better place..."
A world of death.
The Black Death Emperor, also drawn by the deafening roar, looked outwards from the world of death and saw the endless, wraiths of the multiverse, crossing the dimensions of the Lady of Death, slowly flying towards his world like birds returning to their nests.
Nothing can prevent these souls from coming to his world. The passage that brings these souls is unaffected by any time, space, or dimension. It is the realm of death, and also the grace that allows the Black Death to carve out a territory for herself within her domain.
In the past, the Black Death Emperor would have felt satisfied and pleased as he watched these souls approach him, but now these souls were swimming far too slowly before him.
"Faster, faster..." the Black Death Emperor thought to himself, the innate thrill tormenting him and fueling his desire.
And this is precisely what death never gave him.
He needed more death; the death he saw was so vast that it appeared as an illusion before his eyes.
"Parallax Malfurion, Batman: The Dragon, Emperor Joker, Superman Supreme..."
"I...I saw your deaths!"
……
……
……
The fire giant Surtur quietly lurked within the body of the Lantern Horror.
No one knew that he was already able to break free from the marks those foolish mages had placed on him. Queen Hecate had reached an agreement with him, and no matter how much they fought, it would only benefit Batman Dragon and those insignificant insects.
They've temporarily ceased hostilities; they need to lie low... waiting for the crucial moment to deliver the fatal blow to Batman Dragon.
They already know about Batman Dragon's plans...
That foolish dragon thought it could invade the world completely controlled by the alien god called the Black Death Emperor.
Surtur and Hecate agreed that if they forcibly broke through the constraints left by the mages, they would still need to fight Batman Dragon.
But if they choose to switch sides at the moment Batman invades that universe, the enemy of their enemy will become their friend.
They were not content with merely escaping from Batman Dragon; one was a giant wielding destruction, the other a bloodthirsty witch goddess, and they craved to drink blood, especially from the Dark Multiverse Dragon.
Therefore, they can condescend to their position and temporarily pretend to be powerless to resist.
Chen Tao led a large group of mages to the edge of the universe that he had found.
The giant bubble floated in front of Chen Tao, covered with a layer of colorful brilliance, while black mist faintly swirled on it.
Chen Tao, who had completely transformed into a dragon, carried the mages, with Zatana sitting on his nose, and the others following closely behind.
In this universe, Shazam the Thunder, Billy Batson, is also a mage. Unlike the young hero in Chen Tao's universe, Billy in this universe appears much more mature; he is a skilled mage.
As the mages chanted incantations together, the barrier forged by the Black Death Emperor slowly opened. The black mist gradually detached from the world's membrane, like blowing a clean hole in a bubble.
Chen Tao left the mages outside and pretended to slowly swim into that world.
"Wait, let me speak first." A voice beside him interrupted him. Chen Tao turned his head and saw Zatana from the Hecate Queen world suddenly whisper to him, "Are you really planning to go straight into that universe? I have a bad feeling about it. That universe is filled with death and fear. I'm sure it's not something harmless."
She whispered, "This place looks like a trap."
Zatanna's ominous premonition grew stronger. Even when Wonder Woman Diana was completely controlled by Hecate, she hadn't felt this thorn in her side.
She said, "Is something wrong? Am I overthinking it?"
"you……"
Before she could finish speaking, she met Chen Tao's calm, still gaze.
“How could that be, Zatanna?” she heard Batman say. “Are you doubting your and your colleagues’ abilities? You were able to fool the Black Death, I’ve always believed that. And I can keep the Lantern Horror in check with Surtur and Hecate inside him—don’t worry, those two aren’t a threat to me. Everything is going according to plan.”
Zatana almost wanted to criticize the other person's absurd level of confidence. You were so wise and insightful before, how could you make such a stupid mistake at this moment? Zatana knew she should remind the other person, but she suddenly stopped abruptly just as she was about to speak.
Then Zatana realized something. She took two steps back and watched as the massive Dark Multiverse Batman Dragon, clutching the Lantern of Horror bound like a dumpling by various spells, flew into that universe. Then she heard the wild laughter of the fire god Surtur and Queen Hecate, and the low, reverberating laughter of countless Black Lantern corpses piled up one on top of the other.
Yes, Zatana's suspicions were correct. That place was indeed a trap, but if her suspicions were entirely accurate, then very soon…
Zatana turned her head and saw Chen Tao standing calmly beside them. The bat-winged dragon that had just grabbed the Lantern of Horror and entered that universe seemed to be nothing more than an illusion.
Surtur and Empress Hecate's arrogant laughter quickly turned into roars, followed by Empress Hecate's incessant screams, while Surtur's voice was like a volcano, constantly groaning.
Soon, Zatana and the mages watched helplessly as the Lantern Horror, whose body was half-corroded by the Black Death Emperor's power and who escaped from that world like a dead dog, was grabbed by Batman Dragon, who was guarding outside the world.
The Black Death Emperor beat up Batman's Dragon Capture; the transition between the two was quite good.
He briefly examined the Lanternman of Horror, whose body had been invaded by the power of the Black Death Emperor, and then gently shook his head at all the mages.
"You see, you asked me before how to balance the power of the two sides. It's very simple."
He said, "Introducing a stronger third party will solve the problem. Alright, now you can go back to your world."
He spoke casually, as if he hadn't resolved the threat posed by the two dangerous monsters, but merely swatted a fly.
"And I need to go to the world I truly need to go. I desperately need a true ally."
……
……
……
In a certain dark multiverse.
Chen Tao tore through space and landed on the street. When he looked up, he saw the golden statue of Reverse Lightning.
"Hmm, looks good," he said, stroking his chin.
