Chapter 675 Question: How can we dispel the darkness?
Hal made a mistake, at least for the Emperor Joker.
In combat, no pattern should be repeated. Your habitual behaviors, routine moves, and reaction methods, once fully analyzed, will inevitably become your weaknesses.
The Parallax Demon Hal before us comes from before, not after, the time of Zero. Therefore, his character is far more cruel than the Hal that many people imagine, and he has never repented.
Even so, there are things he cares about: his girlfriend, his city... and of course, his father.
boom!!!
When the giant green bipedal dragon was manifested by Parallax Morhal and beat the Emperor Joker so badly that he screamed in agony, a new [Behavior Pattern Reading Equation] was read by the Emperor Joker.
The parallel universe father threatening Howl and young Howl = Howl's enraged attack = Howl's distraction ≈ Howl will temporarily abandon the retreat ≈ Howl will try to use other powers that are not familiar to him
And that's the most fatal part:
Hal's actions will now be predictable; the Emperor Joker will know when and how his opponent will attack...
The flaw was exposed.
Strength and weakness are never eternal concepts.
When Parallax Morhal realizes that his enemies intend to use his father's isomorph in this parallel universe to control him, he also tries to break free from this unfavorable situation.
In the previous battles, Hal had basically used up all the abilities it had: the ability to manipulate time and space, the immense brute force granted by antimatter cosmic energy and the emotional spectrum, and the ability to create materialized creatures.
These abilities have become familiar to his enemies through long battles, and unless Hal's powers are fully restored, there are no surprising solutions to these known abilities; he is by no means lacking in imagination in battle, but even a skilled cook cannot make a meal without ingredients.
But Hal has one ability he hasn't shown yet, an ability he's not very familiar with.
Batman shared 20% of the Bat Mite's fifth-dimensional powers with him, but in reality, these powers did not allow him to alter reality at will like Batman or the Bat Mite.
He was like someone holding a broken pencil or a ballpoint pen without ink, only able to leave faint marks or faint traces on the blank sheet of reality, which would disappear with a gentle wipe with a sleeve, without even needing an eraser.
But Hal doesn't need much power.
His goal wasn't to compete with the Emperor and the Joker here, but to take away his father Martin Jordan and his younger self from a parallel universe.
He simply couldn't bear to see the tragedy repeat itself before his eyes... This was entirely driven by emotion, not rational thought.
In fact, according to Parallax Morhal's logic of "I can watch anyone die, because as long as I restart the universe, they will all be resurrected", the death of his parallel universe father should be meaningless to him now. But the essence of humanity is double standards. So-called humans are such creatures. Those people in disasters are too abstract, too imprecise, their pain is too distant. You can hardly see your own shadow in them, so it is difficult to empathize with them.
But when they are with your father, just like you were once...
Only when you see the Parallax Demon Hal Jordan will you fall from godhood back to mortal and remember that you were once a hero.
But you should know that you are not a hero now, and you will never be a hero again.
You have betrayed everything you were once loyal to; the deed is done, and you never look back.
Parallax Mohal opened his palm toward Martin Jordan, his parallel universe father who was being held hostage by the Emperor Joker not far away.
He was going to pull a trick, unleashing a powerful energy burst at the Emperor Clown that could pierce half the desert and shoot northward across the American continent, while simultaneously using the fifth-dimensional divine power of the bat mite to alter the current location of his father's isomorph.
Although his application of fifth-dimensional divine power is not as strong as that of the Emperor Joker, he can make up for it with brute force. He can use his own power to disrupt the Emperor Joker's reaction and then catch him off guard by altering reality.
Parallax Mohal succeeded. His attack did indeed distract the Emperor Joker. If the Emperor Joker hadn't blocked it, the giant green light he created would have been able to penetrate the planet's surface, creating a huge hole in Earth. This would not only have caused violent lava storms and climate change, but would also have affected Earth's rotation and gravitational field.
Unfortunately, their intentions had been fully read, and their tactical diligence could no longer mask their fatal strategic flaws.
Even Chen Tao hadn't imagined that Parallax, who had overcome countless obstacles and entered the current timeline of the multiverse with unparalleled prowess, and who had clearly escaped the Emperor and the Joker's siege, would actually be targeted because of his emotional weakness, and thus...
A crushing defeat.
When Hal's father's counterpart and the young Hal of this universe appeared beside Hal, Parallax Demon Hal immediately wanted to reach out and grab them both, then tear through space and leave. This time, he would sever all his ties.
He has realized how he was found, and after obtaining the power of the fifth dimension, he now has some experience in using it.
He planned to try using some fifth-dimensional divine power to stop the resonance between the antimatter cosmic energy within him and other energies, as he had realized that these energies were the culprits that had led to his discovery.
He no longer intended to stay on Earth 18, but instead sought a safer place to settle down.
At that time...
Then Hal heard his isomorphic father's maniacal laughter. Hal stared at the distorted face and then realized:
Hal Jordan could never have living parents, just as Batman could never have a father and mother.
The next second, the figure of the Black Death Emperor appeared from the father's counterpart, who was laughing wildly and whose face was ashen with death. He suddenly hugged Parallax Morhal from behind.
Brainiac then materialized from the young Hal's isomorph, the child instantly transforming into a cold machine under Brainiac's control. He roared at Hal, unleashing a dizzying burst of mental energy, before grabbing Hal's left leg.
Almost simultaneously, the Emperor Joker appeared in front of Hal, giving him a new death embrace as countless spikes sprouted from his body.
In his frantic struggle, Hal turned his head and saw the Time Trapper appear not far away. That damned traitor!
The traitor's attack was always the most ruthless; he struck Parallax Morhal squarely on the back of the head from behind. His attack was merciless, his killing intent far more intense than anyone else's. This unavoidable blow sent shivers down Morhal's spine. His limbs went weak, utterly powerless to resist, and then, finally, the Anti-Monitor dragon appeared.
Hal retaliated, attempting to strike again, but he overheard what the other man said:
"How dare you use my power against me?"
His body was cut open once again.
But the next moment, Hal suddenly broke free of all restraints! The Black Death Emperor and Brainiac were flung away like flies, and Hal abruptly stood up, roaring:
"No one! Can!"
He only managed to say half of what he was saying before he completely lost consciousness.
hum!
In a realm beyond the comprehension of mortals, Parallax Mohal's failure once again caused ripples in the trans-temporal flow.
main universe.
The brief meeting between Batman (Bruce) and the Riddler is still ongoing.
"It's fine for you to look into it," Bruce said, "but I want the results."
"Scientific verification is impossible..."
Just as the Riddler was about to haggle, he was immediately blinded by Batman's silent and sharp gaze.
"Nigma," the Riddler heard Batman Bruce say. "Human intuition is a trait that cannot be learned."
He finished the first part of his sentence, and the Riddler naturally followed with the second part: "But intuition is also Batman's best guide. You mean, Batman..."
The riddle-maker's face finally showed some seriousness.
This passage is only understandable to the Riddler and Batman. It was something Batman said to the Riddler after he used his intuition to overcome a riddle that seemed almost impossible to solve, and it left a deep impression on Nigma.
"I'm sorry, I know this reason might sound absurd. But this is important, and it's purely on my gut feeling," Bruce said. "We have to act quickly."
The riddle-maker was silent for a moment. He thought for a moment and then stated his condition: "I want to use the particle accelerator at Star Labs."
Then he began to call out names, mentioning several scientists before finally speaking of himself: "And my request for government-level talent recruitment and bail, I know of doctors..."
But the riddle-maker was only halfway through his sentence when Batman suddenly screamed and collapsed to the ground.
Hal's defeat left the Time Stream completely helpless. Realizing that even the Dream God couldn't contact the Upper Universe, and that it was utterly impossible to intervene through conventional means, Bruce Wayne's main personality finally vanished from his body with a painful groan.
"Who are you?"
The Riddler noticed it immediately. It was clearly the same person, but the core of the being had completely changed, and this feeling of panic made him uncontrollably want to stand up.
Then Batman's eerie tremor disappeared.
"Batman? Are you alright?"
"I am Zul'Ah Batman," he then heard the other person say.
"What?"
"Zul'an'a".
The Riddler heard the other party say this, but then, in mid-air, the bat mite appeared in the main cosmic line.
Zul'Ah Batman is born with the ability to communicate with the fifth-dimensional sprite, the Bat Mite, and his behavior is completely different from the real Bat Mite.
As for fifth-dimensional beings, wherever they appear throughout the multiverse, they are undoubtedly the original entity, therefore...
The sound of the bat mite echoed throughout the main universe:
"Batman, how did I end up in the main universe again?"
"What? You're asking me about Barbatos? Barbatos is a dog."
"Batman Dragon? Listen to me..."
……
……
……
The Anti-Monitor Dragon emerged from behind Hal, calmly observing his enemy who had utterly lost the power to resist. He then turned to the Black Death Emperor and said, "He's yours now. Haven't you always wanted the death of Parallax Demon Hal? Now that you have him, I'm going to start reclaiming my own energy."
The Black Death Emperor nodded silently; this was something he had been promised beforehand. With Parallax Morhal now useless, he would enjoy the death he deserved.
He reached out to the unconscious Parallax Morhal, but the next moment, the Anti-Monitor Dragon's claws and the Emperor Jester's blade pierced the Black Death Emperor's body almost simultaneously. This, of course, couldn't kill a dead man, but…
That was enough to leave him powerless to resist.
"Fool," said the Emperor Joker. "You call yourself the spokesperson for death, and you haven't realized it? You're being controlled by the person you're possessing... I've already found out who he is."
"William Hand, right?"
"You've been secretly helping your Batman all along, do you think we didn't know?"
That darkness followed me like a shadow...
That shadow, like a suffocating tide, overwhelms you.
You will never be able to escape.
Question: How can we dispel the inevitable darkness that is about to arrive?
