Chapter 654 The Emperor Joker: Batman asked me to give you his regards!

What?

Chen Tao thought to himself.

"That scared me to death! I thought Hal would actually come down!" Chen Tao breathed a sigh of relief. For a moment, he and Lord Barbatos really thought that Parallax Demon Hal would be so fierce as to withstand everyone's attacks and forcefully come down from the Hypertime Stream.

That would be too terrifying. If he could really do it, Chen Tao would probably have to seriously re-examine his previous plans. After putting down such a demon king, would he really be able to control him?

But for Hal, the situation was far from ideal.

He was injured, seriously injured.

His impending charge into the portal was abruptly halted. And Hal's seemingly successful future shuddered, becoming somewhat illusory.

In the process of making history, someone delivered a fatal blow at a crucial juncture, precisely when he was most relaxed after defeating his other enemies.

A large hole appeared in his chest, but not a drop of blood flowed out. The first Lantern, manipulating the emotional spectrum, chose the right moment to strike. His control over the emotional spectrum allowed him to easily break through Hal's spontaneously defending green lantern energy in his back while Hal was caught off guard.

Having already defeated Barbatos's Anti-Monitor Dragon and Brainiac, Parallax Morhal was slightly more relaxed.

With so many factors combined, the first Lantern Knight was able to strike successfully, becoming the only and first person among the many attackers to truly threaten Hal, inflicting severe damage that could potentially affect the outcome.

The first Lantern Man made no mistakes; the timing and accuracy of his attack were perfect, but there was one thing:

"My power isn't strong enough..." The first Genie's face darkened. The difference wasn't that great; his timing for the sneak attack was excellent. If he could truly absorb the emotional energy of the entire Earth-1, perhaps he...

What's done is done, and there's no point in thinking about it now.

The first Lantern Knight regrouped and slowly began to think things through.

His heart was filled with gloom. He knew he only had one chance to launch a sneak attack, but although the attack seemed to succeed, it was a failure in a real sense.

Hal was indeed seriously injured, but he had not completely lost his ability to move. To them, there was no difference between Hal who had not lost his ability to move and Hal who was completely unharmed.

And more importantly...

The first Genie opened his palm, intending to forcibly steal some of Hal's power through the connection on the emotional spectrum to enhance himself, but he had gained nothing but emptiness.

Hal's chest wound was quickly repaired. He groaned, and some blood flowed from the wound, but soon, more green energy emerged from it, rapidly filling the gushing blood. Under the work of this energy, Hal replaced his heart, which had been ripped out by the first Lantern, with energy that shimmered like an electric current.

He glared fiercely at the First Lantern Knight who had vanished into space, but didn't rush to pursue him. Even after suffering such a great loss, Hal wasn't blinded by rage. He always knew what he should do.

Hal's chest glowed green, making him look like Iron Man from the Marvel Universe. He continued the action that had been stopped him from taking, and ran towards the portal.

The Black Death Emperor panicked again. He swung his scythe and cleaved the portal in two. Then, as his blade slid across the portal, the two halves were restored to their original state without any damage.

"Damn it." Barbatos said with a gloomy face.

He was no longer in the mood to berate the skull-faced man's foolish act.

He had just tried to give commands to the Anti-Monitor Dragon, but the dragon couldn't receive them. Although he could directly manipulate the body by bypassing the Anti-Monitor Dragon, he couldn't control the severely damaged body for the time being.

Whether it was intentional or accidental, after Parallax Mohal used the Black Death Emperor's scythe as a whip and struck him, he lay on the ground, letting half of his body be soaked in the death power of the scythe. Did the Black Death Emperor's scythe really have such power that it could infuse so much death power into his body in such a short time?

Nonsense, the anti-monitor dragon did it on purpose. I should have taken over the other's body immediately instead of letting him do things his own way.

Barbatos tried to contact the Black Death Emperor immediately to expel the death energy from the Anti-Monitor Dragon's body, but was flatly refused by the Black Death Emperor.

What a joke! The Black Death Emperor's instinct is to spread more death. Teammates? What teammates? That word doesn't even exist in the Black Death Emperor's dictionary. Even Barbatos couldn't force the Black Death Emperor to resist his instincts.

The death that spreads can only be endured by the target themselves, or they will become the puppet of the Black Death Emperor.

Barbatos will likely be forced to accept the fact that he cannot influence the course of the battle for the time being, unless he is willing to leave his lair and take matters into his own hands. But if he were to do that, why would he bother to bring the Anti-Monitor Dragon there?

Hal was getting closer and closer to the portal; his injured shoulder was already disappearing into it. Barbatos knew he couldn't stop it, and neither could the Black Emperor or Brainiac.

That's right...

Downstream of the super-time flow, within the current reality, a brand new era is about to begin.

When the tiger is away, the monkey is king. But the appearance of Parallax Morhal will make Barbatos no longer the only "monkey" whose power is infinitely close to that of the sixth-dimensional god.

In that instant, Barbatos almost made a decision. A strong impulse arose in his heart, making him decide to take a gamble, no longer caring about so much, and leave the corpse of the World Forger that he had been guarding, as well as the World Forge that held the title of "Forger".

Although Hal successfully traversed the time-travel channel, he was already exhausted just from getting down there, not to mention the injuries he had sustained from the previous attacks.

Last time, his descent was entirely due to the chaos created by Chen Tao using Earth 15 to deliver a vicious blow to the Time Stream. This time, having descended from the Time Stream himself, he wouldn't be foolish enough to appear at Barbatos's stronghold, the World Forge, to fight him. But even so, Barbatos is confident he can kill him from the outside world. As long as he leaves for a short while, it won't...

Barbatos thought of this, but suddenly shook his head violently. No, nothing is more important than the corpse of the World Forger.

Long ago, Barbatos made a decision: no matter what happened, no matter how favorable the situation seemed, he would only be a player at the table, not a gambler who would risk everything.

He will definitely succeed; he often succeeds, but not always. However, for Barbatos, there is nothing he cannot afford to lose except his very foundation.

"waste."

In a corner of the trans-temporal flow, the World Forger expressionlessly ceased his attempts to interfere with Barbatos's mind.

His pets were incredibly stupid, but their stupidity made them all the more stubborn.

Even the most skilled coachman couldn't sway a stubborn donkey. No matter how the World Founders tried to guide him, Barbatos remained steadfast in his central idea, leaving even the World Founders helpless.

Not to mention that he couldn't force Barbatos to change his mind, even if he could, he wouldn't do it. His plan required a Barbatos with clear thinking and logic, not a puppet completely under his control. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to him still holding onto his own power, so what would be the point of all his painstaking efforts?

He simply intended to arrange things after his resurrection before his complete demise, rather than playing around and ending up going back to square one.

"Fortunately, I had other preparations..." The World Forger turned his head and looked at the first Lantern, who was hiding in the hypertime stream at the end of the "Zero Hour" period and observing Parallax Morhal's successful escape.

"He has resigned himself to his fate, he has accepted the facts. He will not be foolish enough to continue to attack Hal at this time, because it will only attract more hatred from Hal and get nothing in return. It is useless now, and that is indeed the case."

The world's builders were thinking.

"But what if we give him another reason? Another reason that would drive him crazy?"

The World Founder hesitated for a moment; he hadn't decided whether to do it, but he had no time left.

"You're lucky..." the World Forger thought.

Suddenly, a hammer appeared in his hand—the divine artifact used by the World Forger to forge a new universe.

The forger swung the hammer once, and then the hammer turned transparent in front of him and then disappeared completely.

The World Maker's mouth moved slightly, and the whisper pierced through time and space, heading directly towards Lamp One. The World Maker's whispering ability was much weaker than that of his mother, the Multiverse Mother, Perpetua, but it was definitely enough to deal with Lamp One.

At that moment, the seven-colored emotional spectrum within Genie E1 sensed the extension of the power of the sixth-dimensional god and began to tremble and flicker. Then, Genie E1 suddenly had a flash of inspiration and, without any instruction, comprehended a technique in his mind that could seize the antimatter cosmic energy within Parallax Morhal.

The so-called antimatter cosmic energy is the energy left behind by the Anti-Monitor after his death during the Infinite Earth Crisis. This energy was painstakingly accumulated by the Anti-Monitor, absorbing it from one universe to another. After he was punched to death by the old Superman from Earth-2, this energy benefited Parallax Mohal and the future Super-Prime.

This energy is essentially sixth-dimensional divine power, which is not something that the first Genie could normally obtain. However, if the World Builder uses his hammer to help, and then infuses the first Genie with some dubious techniques...

No one expected that the first Lantern Knight would launch a sneak attack at this moment.

He had already failed, yet he humiliated himself at this crucial moment.

"What are you doing..." Barbatos had just made his decision when he witnessed the first Genie's crazy act.

He cursed, "You're asking for it!"

The first Lantern Man did not listen to the other party. His many fractures were slowly repairing, and he felt his whole body was full of power.

He charged towards the back of Parallax Demon Hal, who had initially ignored him—no one could pull the same trick on Hal again—but the teleportation was abruptly halted once more, and he turned around in astonishment once more:

"You actually managed to steal my antimatter cosmic energy?"

In a dimension unseen by Hal and everyone else, the World Maker stood behind the first Lantern, slowly raising his hammer, then gently hooking it.

The next second, Hal felt all the power in his body being desperately poured towards the first Lantern, which was on a completely different level from the previous battle. His expression changed drastically, and he couldn't even speak.

The first Lantern seemed to have somehow hooked onto the energy within him, not just the energy of the antimatter universe, but also the energy absorbed when it destroyed the Green Lantern's central energy battery. All of this contributed to Parallax Morhal's powerful origins. Parallax Morhal never imagined that anyone could do such a thing.

He just stared intently, unwaveringly, into the eyes of the first Lantern Knight, like a wounded wild beast.

However, at that moment, for some unknown reason, the Emperor Joker reappeared behind Hal once again.

No one realized how he got there. Whether it was the first Genie or the Emperor Joker, their movements were like those of ghosts.

Hal roared the moment he saw the Emperor Joker. He roared angrily, filled with despair and rage. His not-yet-fully-grown fangs and half-sliced ​​cheek made him look extremely ferocious.

He is currently at a critical juncture in his struggle with Genie A.E. for antimatter cosmic energy, but with the involvement of the Joker, his already slim hope of victory is likely to be on the verge of collapse.

However, this time...

The Emperor Joker clicked his tongue twice. He glanced at the two silent men and said, "What a complete lack of humor. A boring stage play. Look, good versus evil. Such a cliché plot."

Then he turned his head and stared erratically at the air not far away, as if talking to some audience that didn't even exist:

"I know you're all in a hurry, but hold on a minute. Seriously, I'm about to put on a really funny comedy for you, and right now, this might just be the prelude to it. And..."

The Joker conjured two swords from his palm and plunged them into the back of the first Lantern: "Batman asked me to give you his regards!"

"Hahahahahahahahahaha!"
