Chapter 1136 The Ruthless Man Who Personally Planted a Bomb in His Own Stomach
"Energy, all the energy! My God, it's all mine!"
The Bat of Laughter heard Chen Tao's voice, sensed the change, and Dr. Manhattan vanished before his eyes.
Batman Dragon's plan succeeded! Good heavens, he really did it! Doctor Manhattan was reduced to ashes under his plan.
When the Batman Who Laughs arrives as mandated by divine will, and when the clock strikes the end of the world, Batman: The Dragon finally provides Doctor Manhattan with a perfect script, and the Batman Who Laughs is the one who fulfills that dream.
Everything is different now. After Dr. Manhattan's demise, countless quantum energies became ownerless. These quantum energies drifted aimlessly through the DC multiverse, or rather, they completely merged into the rules of the DC multiverse, becoming a force inherent in the DC multiverse itself, just like the Speed Force.
But it was Chen Tao who seized even more energy than the Laughing Bat.
He absorbed all the power discarded by Dr. Manhattan like a vacuum cleaner, and the blue on his body grew brighter and brighter, like a large blue light bulb.
The Laughing Bat could only grit his teeth and try to compete with the other party for quantum power as much as possible. However, what the Laughing Bat did not know was that he appeared in the DC multiverse after the DC multiverse rebirth event.
Before the New 52, the Batman Who Laughs did not actually exist within the DC multiverse.
Because of this characteristic, the Batman Who Laughs cannot be directly and completely boosted like other characters in the main universe.
It has become the form it was in history before.
"Come on, come on—"
The Bat of Mad Laughter thought to itself.
He was brewing a plan in his mind, a plan that would truly kill Batman Dragon—
"However, the most urgent task is to seize as much quantum divine power as possible."
"Um—wait a minute."
Golden Vanguard sat in the Master of Time's spaceship, patiently listening to him finish speaking, including his conversation with the main universe's Batman, and the whole backstory of how they were entrusted by the future, the Owl of Fools, to rob the spaceship of the past Owl of Fools.
Golden Vanguard raised a question: "Wait a minute, let me sort this out and understand. So you mean that Batman Dragon was actually a good guy before, but is now a villain, while the Batman Who Laughs was a villain before, but is now a good guy in the current timeline. Batman Dragon planned for so long, and in the end, he turned himself into a world-destroying demon?"
"Another inch."
"Oh—" Golden Vanguard scratched his head: "This plan is terrible, it's definitely going to fail."
"—Well, but if he doesn't mold himself into a world-destroying demon king, then the world-destroying demon king is the Batman Who Laughs, which is even worse. This is already considered good."
"But does this make a difference to the DC multiverse?"
"----No."
"Isn't that the end of it?"
"Don't worry, that's why I came to find you."
"The Time Master said."
Then he pointed to the night sky outside the window.
"Did you figure it out?"
"What?"
Golden Vanguard made a sound like an idiot.
"Are your high-tech equipment and bullet-shaped robots fake?"
"oh oh."
Golden Vanguard quickly pulled out his equipment and checked it, then turned around in surprise: "There isn't a single superhero in this world, and we're just characters from a comic book!"
"Yes, it's exactly the same as the original Earth of Superman Supreme back then."
"Damn it, so this is the primordial Earth?"
"I don't know. I haven't found Superman Supreme. It's possible that on this timeline, Superman Supreme hasn't returned to Earth yet."
(Note: Superman the Primal briefly returned to his home planet Earth before the Darkest Night.)
"It's also possible they've left again. Have you found Superman's family? Well, that's like looking for a needle in a haystack. And even if we did find them, we couldn't be sure. Let's skip this topic for now."
Golden Vanguard may seem a bit unconventional, but its thinking is still clear.
"So, even if we're in an ordinary universe similar to the original Earth, what does that mean?"
"That means this." Golden Vanguard operated the console for a while, and then a 30-something Asian man with a broken-down car appeared on the screen, trying to change a tire on the roadside.
(Chapter 966, One of Chen Tao's Origins)
"I still don't understand—"
"His name is Chen Tao. He was the former Batman, Dragon."
Wow!
Now I understand.
"In normal history, a few minutes later, he would be shot dead by a robber, and his consciousness would be reincarnated into a Batman Bruce Wayne in the Dark Multiverse, becoming the Batman Dragon we know. This is one of the four existing origins for the Batman Dragon, just as the Joker has three main origins and countless others."
"The Time Master said."
"But if we just prevent Batman Dragon from being killed by robbers like in the origin story, and then let him continue being a Chinese super-dubbed movie star, then there will be one less Batman Dragon origin story. Do you realize what that would mean?"
"—He——a part of his existence will collapse, like a platform supported by four pillars, with one pillar suddenly removed."
"Yes, that's right, and then Batman Dragon will suddenly explode like a bomb in his stomach, which will rip him open and inflict fatal wounds."
The Time Master said, "And do you know who guided us here?"
"Main Universe Batman————"
"And the main universe's Batman's plan was finalized with Batman Dragon before his complete corruption. So you understand now, right? The person who planted the bomb in his own stomach was none other than Batman Dragon himself! When he created this origin story, he planned to use it to kill himself at a crucial moment. We were just the knives he prepared—so, there you have it."
The Time Master put on a trench coat that looked like an ordinary person's, covering up his uniform, and then tossed the same coat to the Golden Vanguard.
"So let's go, let's be heroes and save Chen Tao from dying at the hands of the robbers."
Once the Golden Vanguard and the Time Master donned the spaceship's uniforms, they instantly resembled two passersby whose genders were impossible to discern. He even specially glued on two fake beards for himself.
"We must not expose our whereabouts, we must not change history, and we must let things succeed quietly."
"Of course, you'd better also do so at the same time—"
Detonate the bomb.
