What bad intentions could Batman have?

Um……

Chen Tao fell into deep thought.

This unexpected turn of events left him briefly at a loss.

"I understand." said Shazam beside him.

He covered his face, which had just come into close contact with the Anti-Monitor's fist.

Green Lantern Hal stared at him from the side.

You know a hammer.

"So we fought the Burning Legion for a long time, but they were actually good guys?"

He told a Warcraft joke, but no one had any reaction.

Chen Tao signaled with his eyes that the anti-monitor - or should we call him Mobius - continued.

Mobius didn't speak at first. He stood there for a while. Chen Tao guessed that he might also be thinking and weighing the pros and cons, but in the end he continued to say what he originally wanted to say.

"My name is Mobius."

"As I know, I am the discarded remnant of the Anti-Monitor after the timeline was restarted."

Green Lantern Hal and Thunder Shazam looked at each other.

They didn't know this, and when they were about to ask, Chen Tao temporarily stopped them with a wave of his hand.

He allowed Mobius to continue:

"Go on, I know everything you're talking about. If I'm not clear about it, I'll ask you."

Mobius nodded.

“After the crisis caused by Barry Allen in The Flash, the existence of the Anti-Monitor was modified into an ordinary mortal Mobius, but soon as the universe restarted again, this history disappeared... I'm the only one left."

(Note: The two timeline restarts mentioned by Mobius here are "Flashpoint" and "DC Universe Rebirth")

"A soul that doesn't want to disappear...if I really have a soul."

This paragraph seemed a little too difficult for Hal to understand, and they all frowned, but this was not the case for Chen Tao.

Mobius's voice was still ringing, hoarse and low, like the sound of iron scraping against a metal pipe.

He could tell that Batman understood what he was saying. The other party seems to know everything about the world outside the entire single universe.

Mobius doesn't know how the other person's understanding of the entire world compares with his own, who has inherited the memory of the mortal Mobius, but he has no time to delve into this now, okay?

"I am a person without a past."

He said:

"I'm not the same as you. I don't have a real origin story. I just appeared suddenly. I thought I was forgotten by everyone."

"I inherited many memories, from the Monitor and from the mortal Morbius, but no amount of memory can change one thing:

My past is just a blank. "

“I know very well that I am essentially a non-existent person, a person who has been erased from the universe, and even my fears, loves and hates are just the result of the restart of the universe, so these have little meaning to me. "

"For example, I hate the Anti-Life Equation. That kind of thing only brings me pain, but I know that this disgust comes from the "Anti-Monitor Mobius" that once existed and has been erased, and I only It’s just an insignificant reflection in the history of his downgrade.”

He said slowly: "I have no love or hate of my own, and no goal worthy of advancement. Everything that ordinary people pursue is meaningless to me, but for me, there is still one thing that is important after all. of:

"Stay alive. Get stronger."

This sounded a bit heavy, and the members of the Justice League fell silent.

Mobius thought silently. There were some words he left unsaid.

if you can……

I'm the Anti-Monitor too, I'm part of him. Why can't my will appropriate the real one?

All in all, he concluded like this and then continued:

"I wander the Dark Multiverse, growing in power by devouring the Dark Multiverse."

"I have collected a lot of information. I found Barbatos and found out that the World Forger is dead..."

"A good death."

He expressed his views clearly and concisely.

"Otherwise I wouldn't have had the chance to wander around for that long."

"The energy contained in these dark multiverses should be destroyed by Barbatos, and then returned to the world furnace to be built into a new world."

"But now that all this energy has been swallowed into my body, I feel that I have become a lot stronger. This behavior continued for a while, but I soon realized that all I was doing was competing with Barbatos. Eat.”

The Anti-Monitor carefully observed the expression on Batman's face. He wanted to see what the other party would do after learning about the existence of Barbatos, but what made him a little disappointed was that the other party was not aware of the existence of Barbatos. It seems that he also understands something.

How did Batman get this information?

He was thinking silently in his heart, but he didn't show it.

"I was discovered by the Dragon of the Dark Multiverse, but he was busy eating the corpse of the World Forger. This was the most important thing to him, so he had no chance to deal with me."

"However, that doesn't mean he can't do anything to me now."

"He created a destiny just for me that he would control. I would be killed and devoured by some Batman from the Dark Multiverse, and that Batman would become the Dragon of Barbatos."

"I got this prophecy, and I also know how Barbatos plans to deal with me."

"So I decided to strike first."

When the anti-monitor said these words, everyone present looked unhappy. But Mobius didn't care, he continued:

"I plan to directly kill the Batman who will kill me in the script prepared by Barbatos, directly smash the fate he prepared to kill me, and completely break free from the bondage."

Mobius said: "I originally thought this was the best solution I could achieve. As long as I killed that Batman, it would be difficult for Barbatos to weave a new destiny to deal with me. I would be able to If you buy yourself a lot of time, you will always have room to maneuver whether you want to escape from the Dark Multiverse or make other plans."

"But I soon found out I was wrong, because even if I killed Batman, I would still die."

"What's the meaning?"

he heard Batman ask.

"In my body, there is a second force controlling it. I should have thought of it earlier. I am part of the Anti-Monitor. Although I always call myself the residue, the residue still cannot change. It is a part of me. fact."

He paused and then said: "And no matter how inferior the residue is, if the anti-monitor wants to project downward..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his fist without warning and swung it towards Green Lantern Hal.

Hal was caught off guard. He had just put up the protective shield and was shot out like a cannonball. In the next moment, he flew back with a sinking face: "What do you want to do? You..."

Chen Tao stopped him: "Don't do anything. He suddenly attacked you just now. It was obvious that he was controlled by others and was not something he did on his own initiative."

Then he turned to look at the other person.

"Your problem seems a bit big."

"I'm afraid so."

The Anti-Monitor replied.

His other hand pinched his restless right hand.

"There will be no next time." He said, and then continued: "I am already trying to control my strength, otherwise the fist just now will become a sneak attack, and your teammates will not be able to attack with that intensity. Survive, I think this will definitely prove my sincerity.”

"I once thought that my birth was an accident, but just now I suddenly felt that this body was no longer completely under my control like it used to be, and then I realized..."

"I'm just a gift."

"Tell me more specifically."

"Barbatos is guarding the downstream of the hypertime flow and entrenched in reality. Even the Anti-Monitor cannot shake the foundation of the entire multiverse from the first crisis."

(Note: The first crisis he is talking about here refers to the Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1985, which is the period when the Anti-Monitor was awarded the title of the Great Demon King of Anti-Japanese.)

"Once he does that, it will shake the very nature of the multiverse, just like someone trying to tear down the foundation of a huge building."

"It's not that you can't demolish the ground, but when it's done, there will be many people living on the foundation to stop it."

"Despite this, the Anti-Monitor is still trying to reverse its failed outcome."

"So if he wants to influence the present from upstream, he can't get around Barbatos, so do you understand?"

As he spoke, Mobius began to grit his teeth.

"If I kill you, the Anti-Monitor's power will completely turn me into his puppet.

Although he has already decided to throw me, the garbage, to Barbatos and let him make what he wants, if the thrown thing comes back on its own and becomes useful, then the Anti-Monitor himself will not be polite. "

"And if you kill me, Barbatos' power will be completely injected into your body and control you. This was Barbatos's plan."

After saying so much, Mobius finally paused, and then organized his words as much as possible, trying not to make his voice sound too gritty:

"I realized it from the moment I felt the real Anti-Monitor. Whether the Anti-Monitor wins or Barbatos wins, I will die. There is simply no way to survive. And in this situation..."

"This is why I formed an alliance with you simply and neatly."

Mobius said:

"I need your help to be able to fight against the Demon King who is trying to control me in the upper reaches of the hyper-time stream."

Chen Tao interrupted Green Lantern's question and said, "Okay."

He agreed simply and neatly, but in this case, there was no need to refuse.

Just kidding, any hesitation for a second is disrespectful to your own life. He just wanted to save his world, and while he was saving, he suddenly became teammates with the Anti-Monitor. Is there anything more beneficial than this?

"Then how can I help you fight against the real anti-monitor in the upper reaches of time?" He asked "How did he control you? Even across countless parallel universes and multiverses, he was able to seize control of your body. right?"

"This is not control. I was originally one of his members. I just... I just... couldn't beat him in the fight for the body."

The Anti-Monitor warned: "I may soon be completely devoured by that person. When I said these words, I already felt that the inner force that controlled me had already broken out of my body. He had heard our conversation and realized that I had discovered all this, so he was no longer pretending and was desperately trying to seize control of my body.

I... I will soon. Re-launch the attack on you. I...

I will shrink my consciousness as much as possible and retain my personality, but my body will still be controlled by him."

He said: "I will help you as much as possible. Our goal now is that neither you nor I can die, and then we will go our separate ways peacefully. This is the way to break their control."

"So, this deal."

Done?

He asked.

He could hardly hear the answer clearly. He felt himself trembling. He was shocked and angry. The suffocating fear and anger kept rushing into his heart.

In such a situation, he even suddenly felt a little desperate.

At the same time, in the short time he was speaking, the terrible sense of control once again intensified and swept his whole body, making him even worse.

"Deal."

He heard Batman say: "We are teammates now."

He turned to his teammates and said: "Everyone, get ready, Justice League, the fusion of the Night Owl universe has begun."

...

...

...

"I did it."

Night Owl's eyes flickered with fire.

At this time, he held a small mini starfish in his hand, which was canned by him, and made a dissatisfied babbling sound:

"嘤嘤嘤嘤嘤嘤嘤嘤嘤..."

"I really did it."

Night Owl had an exaggerated smile on his face, and he turned a deaf ear to the cry of the little starfish. He almost laughed up to the sky, but realized that such a laugh was too Joker, so he stopped abruptly, but this action caused the Joker virus in his body to counterattack more fiercely.

"Baby..." He bit his lower lip hard until it bled, to prevent himself from laughing. He carefully examined the starfish in his hand.

"With your help, I can use the energy of the planet's heart to build a shielding network between the two universes."

"Batman thought he could transfer all the dangers to my universe through this conversion, but he was wrong."

"My universe will not merge with Batman's universe."

"I am the one who survives!"
