American comics: What kind of evil intentions could Batman have?

Chapter 641 The Beast Within and the Unyielding Soul!

Chapter 641 The Beast Within and the Unyielding Soul!

You should know this.

When you are staring at your opponent, your opponent is also staring at you.

If you want to be as unpredictable and elusive as clouds and mist, you must break free from the existing framework...

Do the opposite.

Standing beside the dejected Reverse Lightning, Chen Tao gazed at the darkness that had formed in the distance. He knew that the World Forger must be in some deepest corner, looking back at him across the vast night sky.

Only him, and it could only be him. In this current timeline where the Monitors have lost most of their power and the Anti-Monitors are reduced to nothing more than a brain, who else, besides the World Forger, could manipulate the divine power of the sixth dimension?

The night is already deep.

Although time is not a meaningful thing in Reverse-Flash's universe, the night is already deep.

The night is Batman's domain.

Chen Tao was deep in thought.

In that deep darkness, countless Black Lamp Corpses roared and rampaged, spreading the authority of the Black Death Emperor to the entire world. The darkest night blotted out the sun... This is illogical. The birth of the darkest night is bound by the establishment of the Seven Lamp Legion. If the Spectral War had not begun, the darkest night could not have come. This is also why it is not so easy for the Black Death Emperor to invade Chen Tao's universe.

But at this point, this principle has already been broken.

Although Chen Tao summoned yellow, green, red, cyan, purple, and blue from his own universe, the orange light Lafriz was still missing, and in theory, the prerequisites for the Darkest Night had not yet been met.

However, in the Dark Multiverse, there is never any unbreakable guarantee.

When you think "it won't happen," it might just be the prelude to the bubble bursting.

Perhaps it was William Hand, the agent, who gave the Black Death Emperor his power, or perhaps Brainiac and Barbatos assisted him with their divine powers, but now, for the world of Reverse-Flash, the arrival of the Darkest Night is an established fact.

The good news is that, due to the Black Emperor's unique role as the embodiment of death, even though Barbatos and Brainiac certainly played a part in bringing about this darkest night, they still cannot bypass the Black Emperor to interfere with the purity of this night.

The Black Death Emperor would never allow them to mix their power in; it was the instinct of the Death's Spokesperson, and he could not go against his own nature.

In short, at this critical juncture when the darkness of night was escalating, Chen Tao should have contacted William Hand and used his power to try to end the night from within. He had already prepared the strength for William's counterattack beforehand, which should have been the safest option.

But for Chen Tao... no.

A top-notch tactician only needs to engage in a single, seemingly insignificant exchange to understand the other's mind and comprehend their relationship.

Chen Tao stood up and heard Reverse Lightning beside him let out a mournful laugh.

It was a lament for the impending demise of his world, a mournful cry of knowing he was powerless to change it all. He had considered surrendering, but even that was a pipe dream for him.

But Reverse-Flash didn't understand; he didn't comprehend it.

But Chen Tao still wanted to say it; he wanted to tell Reverse Lightning, and he also wanted to tell himself.

"While I am able to detect my opponent's weaknesses by observing their habits, I can also detect my own habits by observing their gaze."

Chen Tao said, "The opportunity to become stronger lies hidden in every moment of overcoming habits."

"What are you talking about?" he heard Reverse-Flash say. "Do something, you bastard, at least let me go and let me reboot my universe—"

"It's useless," Chen Tao told the other party. "No matter how many times the universe is restarted, the Black Death Emperor's darkest night will only come faster. The result of what you do is just to continuously waste the remaining energy of your universe, and then sweep your universe into nothingness even faster. At that time, the universe will be completely destroyed, and the souls of all living beings will still return to the Black Death Emperor's kingdom."

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Reverse Lightning asked in despair.

"It's simple," he heard Batman say. "This time, I'm going to go head-to-head."

"What?"

Reverse-Flash had no idea what Batman wanted to do. He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the restless anger in his heart, and tried his best to appease the other party.

He also has a plan: using his ability to restart timelines, he can freeze his universe in a single day forever. It's not over yet; he can still…

Then all he saw was Batman spreading his arms out to the darkness: "I'm used to taking shortcuts. I'm used to making moves ahead of time and launching attacks from the shadows, and that will definitely become the basis for the opponent's prediction of me. But they've made a mistake. Batman, like the Joker, has never had a fixed pattern of behavior. Trying to analyze Batman is a more ridiculous attempt than trying to analyze the Joker."

No, no, no, I'd rather you had a consistent behavioral pattern.

"I know those ways of doing things are my habits, and overcoming habits is not easy."

He turned to look at Reverse Lightning and said, "This requires you to re-examine your own heart. Those methods and approaches you once relied on so heavily, those obsessions you were unwilling to change because of fear, are like shackles binding you."

"And the so-called strong are those who, in dire straits, conquer the restless beast within themselves, shatter all shackles after rediscovering their inner fears, and through repeated reversals of their behavior patterns and breakthroughs of their limits, step towards a completely new self..."

"An indomitable spirit!"

Reverse Lightning stared blankly at Chen Tao. He didn't understand, nor did he comprehend. It was as if Chen Tao was speaking to him, or as if he was calling out to him.

Batman reached out to Reverse-Flash, and the next second, endless blue light burst forth from his palm. The surging blue energy emanated from the soles of Chen Tao's feet, spreading across his explosively muscular calves, up his thighs, and then down his cape, turning his entire body blue.

Deep within the Dark Multiverse, as Louis Lane, his eyes brimming with tears, sat before Clark Kent's grave, a red light began to emanate from them.

His Superman was temporarily spared from dying again after being resurrected thanks to a giant dragon that flew by from outside their universe, but soon, the misfortune of the Dark Multiverse still befell them.

Therefore, at this moment, Lois Lane was consumed by rage. He was about to transform into the killing angel he was meant to be, the Supergirl who had completely fallen into darkness, shedding tears of blood, and killing without hesitation.

But at this crucial moment, she looked down in surprise and saw that her whole body was emitting a soft blue light.

That's the blue of hope.

The intense blue light coalesced and shone before her, and then, as if guided by instinct, Louise raised her hand, hovering it in mid-air. A blue hammer then appeared in her hand. She swung the hammer, gently tapping the air, and in the next instant, a brand-new blue light ring was shaped in mid-air with her hammer strike, eventually becoming a tangible reality.

No, it wasn't a complete Blue Lantern ring. The ring didn't have the OA symbol on it; instead, it had a small, pointed bat head with erect, pointed ears.

Supergirl Louise raised the ring in surprise, and the blue light of her uniform appeared on her body. The blue light gently smoothed the furrowed brow of despair, spread across her forearms and thighs, and dispelled the deep-seated pain of sorrow. Then it flew over her forehead and lifted Louise's hair.

All of this seemed as if Clark Kent, whose universe was already dead, was crossing time to comfort his lover.

Hope brings you strength, hope also brings you comfort. Supergirl Louise wept, and beside her, Clark Kent, made of Blue Lantern energy, gently embraced her before disappearing into the air again.

The Lantern Horror, Queen Hecate, and even Omac Blue Beetle and Gaia Terra, who were once summoned by the Batman Who Laughs to oppose Chen Tao, all reside in their own Dark Multiverses, but at this moment, they have all obtained their own Blue Lantern Rings.

Of course, there was also someone who received the Blue Lantern Ring.

A person who takes things for granted.

Reverse Flash stared blankly at the blue light emanating from his body, his blue uniform, and the blue lamp ring he had forged himself.

He was no longer bound. He turned to Batman: "Back then, when you were wandering through the Dark Multiverse, you already foresaw this day. You've long wanted to sow the seeds of…"

"I'm sowing seeds of hope," Chen Tao said. "And hope is the color of the blue light. Of course, I didn't expect this day to come; I just decided to do it today."

He reached out his hand to Reverse Lightning: "So... are you going to seize hope?"

"I..." Reverse Flash didn't know what to say, but then, he heard loud roars in his ears, not just one.

"What is that?"

He asked.

Then he heard what Chen Tao said.

"That is hope, more hope."

Chen Tao looked at him: "I'm afraid I have to tell you, the hope is much greater than you imagine. After all..."

"I am Batman."
