Chapter 718 Barbatos Carelessly Slaps Dog Poop, Justice League Emergency Plan
With the escape of the World Forger, Barbatos fell silent for a moment.
At this moment, the person who knew best what had happened on the battlefield was not Chen Tao, but Barbatos himself.
He was born as one of the three brothers, a servant god, and by devouring the world-builders, he reached a level infinitely close to that of a sixth-dimensional god.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, he can also perceive what the World Builder can perceive. Even if he is not as clear about the details as his master, the fact that the main universe is empty is too great.
The houses have all been demolished. If Barbatos still can't see that, then he's blind!
"Batman, time is of the essence, listen to me." At this moment, Barbatos finally regained his still-comprehensive intelligence and made arrangements for Batman immediately.
Barbatos and Batman reconnected telepathically, and he succinctly explained what was most important to do to maintain the trans-time flow. This analysis at the level of a sixth-dimensional deity was exactly the information Chen Tao needed.
Although the intelligence report started off with bad news.
"I am controlled by the Void Hand and Perpetua. They are stronger than the World Forgers, but they can no longer interfere with the main universe."
"Now, I must immediately return to the World Forge to fight against their control, to defend against..."
As he said this, Barbatos's expression turned crazed again, but now that the menacing Worldforger was no longer before him, he could fully mobilize his willpower to fight against him. He quickly regained his composure and continued:
"Master..." He instinctively wanted to say "Master," but then changed his words: "The World Forger has obtained what he wanted, and he wants to create an infant multiverse that will not return to the World Forge for a while, so it is safe there."
Chen Tao understood Barbatos's meaning: within the furnace, Barbatos's furnace master characteristics would make him even stronger.
"Now for the important part, listen carefully." Then he heard Barbatos say:
"Superman in the main universe is the center of the entire multiverse. The World Forgers stole him, but that's not the only reason for the collapse of the multiverse. The key point is that the history of the multiverse has changed."
"The multiverse is alive, not dead. The death of Superman in the main universe occurred once after the Flashpoint (N Superman), but did this affect the existence of the multiverse? No. Because the multiverse itself pulled a Superman from the upstream of the hypertime stream through multiverse fusion."
"The multiverse only needs one strong enough superman, Clark, with willpower. As for which Clark it is... that doesn't matter."
"But Papapetua and the Hand of the Void altered the fusion of diversity."
"The timeline of Superman from the main universe arriving in reality is no longer valid. The World Forger also took him away from the multiverse."
"So the first thing you need to do is simple: find a powerful enough Superman to replace the main universe's Superman. If you don't have one, you can temporarily find Clark to fill the role, but that will kill the main universe along with him."
Chen Tao received the information transmitted by Barbatos and immediately understood the cause and effect relationship.
Simply put, Superman is the heart. Now that the heart is gone, if you want to temporarily use the tiny heart of the "parallel universe weakling Superman" as a substitute, that's fine.
But it can't last long, because this tiny heart has too little power. The human body in the DC multiverse will still die, it's just a matter of whether it dies immediately or very soon. At the same time, the "tiny heart" will also perish, because it was never designed to drive the entire multiverse.
So ultimately, it has to be a Superman who meets the criteria.
Chen Tao transformed into a high-speed bullet in front of Barbatos, intending to give it a try.
Seeing the other party's courage, Barbatos raised an eyebrow and helped Chen Tao temporarily sense the power required for that position.
With a loud bang.
It was like the cries of countless living beings suddenly exploding in my ears, or like carrying hundreds of millions of people on my back, bent over by the heavy burden.
It felt like countless people were shouting in my ears, "You're not qualified! You're not qualified!"
Human language can hardly describe the feeling of suddenly bearing an immense burden. Chen Tao almost felt like he was going to die in an instant, but after letting out a muffled groan, he managed to hold on.
He immediately deactivated the transformation and roughly estimated in his mind that he could last for several hours or more, at least without losing consciousness.
But it still didn't work.
Some things are so light they're barely worth a few ounces on the scale, but once they're on it, even a thousand pounds can't hold them down.
So, Barbatos means—
"Those capable of serving as Superman in the main universe across the entire timeline are few and far between. Superman from the Zero Hour era (P Superman) has already been captured, and the old Superman from Earth-2 must participate in suppressing the Anti-Monitor. Gold Superman is a five-dimensional being, and he cannot become the core of the main universe."
The answer is obvious.
"...Superman the Ultimate Kid?"
Chen Tao covered his head.
"Yes."
"But how do I convince this crazy Superman to help me?"
"That's your problem."
Despite saying that, Barbatos still thought for a moment for Batman, and then said:
"Strictly speaking, the collapse of the multiverse was caused by the disappearance of Superman, while the disappearance of the Justice League in the main universe was due to Brainiac altering the chain reaction of multiverse integration."
Barbatos paused here. He had thought of a way to help Batman relieve some of the pressure, but it would take him a little time, especially now that he was under control and badly injured.
There was silence.
Huh, why isn't Batman saying anything?
Barbatos looked down and saw his Batman Dragon staring at him with its bright, sparkling eyes.
"..."
"Don't even think about it," he said coldly. "I'll just tell you the method."
"The current reality of the hyper-timeline is like a broken road. Superman's disappearance has left the entire timeline without a future, but the past still exists."
"The collapse of the hyper-timestream is a process. You can travel back in time and capture the Justice League in the main universe before they are wiped out by the aftermath of the 'Brainiac alters the multiverse' event, and take them all to an isolated timeline island called the Vanishing Point."
"If the Justice League of the main universe were still around, they could at least help you share some of the pressure, enabling you to shoulder the burden of being the [Main Universe Superman] and buy you more time to persuade Superman Supreme to take the position."
Barbatos's voice held a hint of helplessness as he spoke:
"I know you never intended to use a Superman from a parallel universe as a consumable."
Yes, given the current situation, besides taking on the role of the "main universe's Superman" himself, Batman has an easier option: to simply retrieve the Superman from the Dark Multiverse from a parallel universe to fill in the gaps.
One Superman lasts 20 minutes before dying, then another one comes along. Anyway, the Dark Multiverse is boundless, and he's now the dragon of the Dark Multiverse. Isn't it easy to pick up cannon fodder?
But you won't do that, Batman, I know you won't.
Stubborn, foolish, but whatever...
"Just this once, Batman," Barbatos said. "You owe me a favor."
The next moment, as Barbatos casually summoned him, the bewildered Alliance Superman broke through the portal and appeared in front of Barbatos and Chen Tao.
Barbatos stared silently at the tentacled freak and the filthy creature before him.
He silently spread out his hands and saw that they were also covered with this disgusting polymer of feces and vomit.
I was quick enough to catch him as he flew out of the portal.
"Ugh! Clean yourself up, ugh!"
A few minutes later, the Alliance Superman floated cleanly in mid-air, and Barbatos stopped reaching out to grab him. He kept cleaning his hands beside him.
"...Do you understand? In other words, an ordinary Superman will die after taking on the role of the [Main Universe Superman], but with Lord Barbatos supplying you with energy, you will become the strongest Superman in the entire Dark Multiverse, albeit temporarily."
Chen Tao explained to the Alliance Superman: "At that time, you will be able to temporarily assume the responsibilities, and thus..."
"Thus ending the collapse of the Hypertime Stream, Poop Superman," Barbatos said.
Alliance Superman blinked before realizing that "Poop Superman" was a nickname referring to himself.
His face fell, and the tentacles on his back stood up uncontrollably, but he couldn't refute it.
"Alright, once the hyper-time flow temporarily stops collapsing, you'll be able to travel through timelines."
Barbatos said, "You need to go back to the time before the Justice League of the main universe was erased, wait for your Justice League to fight the Justice League of the main universe, and take them away at the very last moment before the Justice League of the main universe disappears."
He warned Chen Tao: "Be careful, you cannot change the history of the timeline."
"The hyperchronic flow is already very weak. If you arbitrarily alter it, interfere with the battle between your subordinates and the Justice League in the main universe, and create those new timelines that appear and disappear again within the hyperchronic flow, the collapse I painstakingly helped you prevent will begin again."
He stated succinctly and clearly:
"What you need to do is simple: wait for the outcome, capture the person before they disappear, and bring them back to this dead-end path in the current timeline. Understand?"
Chen Tao nodded.
After confirming that the other party understood, Barbatos casually grabbed Alliance Superman, then opened a portal and told Batman Dragon:
"You go in right away as soon as I start, understand?"
"Um."
Barbatos took a deep breath, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face.
One by one... they're really damned.
Whether it was the World Forger, Perpetua, or the Hand of the Void, they all treated Barbatos as a dispensable character.
He knew that no matter what kind of power he possessed now, no matter how many years he had struggled, in the eyes of those high and mighty, sacred sixth-dimensional gods, he was still just a dog.
But they didn't know that.
This dog had long ago had the opportunity to turn on them.
Barbatos didn't help Batman because of any ridiculous friendship; he was just unwilling to accept defeat.
Even with his severely injured body and the lingering hidden dangers, he still wants to use Batman as a pawn to fiercely retaliate against Perpetual and the Void Hand!
The so-called dog is exactly the kind that will bite you even if it gets hit with a stick... Damn bastards.
hum!
The portal opened, and Batman's dragon disappeared into it.
Barbatos felt that familiar pain again, the erosion of his willpower, the loss of control over his body.
But he's a dog that bites its master; once a dog has eaten human flesh, it will never submit again.
puff!
Barbatos silently lowered his head and saw the dung superman he was holding in his palm trembling all over with his eyes rolling back, and the tentacles behind him uncontrollably gushing out.
The Alliance Superman was far too weak, even though Barbatos gave him energy and forcibly elevated him to a level where he could not only fulfill his responsibilities but also survive.
but……
Barbatos felt the stickiness in his palm.
Damn world-builders.
……
……
……
The timeline has been broken; there is no future.
But the past remains.
Superman is gone, and the multiverse collapses. But now he's back, so the collapse is paused.
The convergence of multiple systems has changed things. P died prematurely. The logic of the super-time flow after the new 52 has a bug. However, without crashing, the super-time flow has a pre-set logical closed loop, which stabilizes this period of history.
Against this backdrop, Chen Tao travels through time, arriving at the previous point in the timeline.
That is, when the Justice Alliance had just begun its great battle with the Justice League.
He cannot change history, because this history has been solidified by the combined efforts of Perpetua and the Hand of the Void. Even if he were to force his way through, the outcome would be the same, or perhaps even worse.
So what he needs to do now is to find his teammates, then follow them to the Justice League in the main universe, and then bring them into the Vanishing Point world before they disappear.
Chen Tao's first choice was Wonder Woman.
Compared to the other members of the Justice League, Wonder Woman's power as one of the Big Three is undeniable. She is the most important member, even more so than Batman, in Chen Tao's eyes.
He appeared in the middle of the battlefield between the main universe's Wonder Woman and the Alliance Wonder Woman. He immediately recognized this as the Firestorm Matrix space, where the two Wonder Women stood face to face, wearing identical uniforms and wielding the same sword and shield, locked in a tense standoff. They appeared to have been fighting for a long time, with no clear victor.
and many more.
Chen Tao suddenly paused for a moment.
Why did the Alliance Heroine suddenly throw away her weapon?
……
……

The following are the newly added characters after the update, which are free of charge.
Dear readers, I originally didn't plan to write more about the battles between the Justice League and the Justice Alliance, because after writing too much about the Bat Mite last time, I received some criticism, and I was worried that it would look like filler, so I didn't dare to write more QwQ.
Originally, I planned to write about the battles between the more important characters, and then use Chen Tao's perspective to bring up the battles of the other members in order to shorten the length.
However, in yesterday's comments, many readers expressed their desire to see a head-to-head matchup, which made me waver in my opinion.
Therefore, I'd like to conduct a poll here: would you like to see a head-to-head battle, or would you prefer to just gloss over it?
1. Want
2. Let's just gloss over it.
I personally still prefer to write it, because upon closer examination, it does have some interesting aspects. I originally thought that people didn't like reading stories about non-violent storytelling, so I was hesitant to write it.
