What bad intentions could Batman have?

In the world furnace.

Barbatos, the dragon of the dark multiverse, is savoring the many powers that the Anti-Monitor has brought him after becoming the dragon of Barbatos.

To be honest, even after devouring the World Forger, Barbatos still knows very little about the essence of the power of these sixth-dimensional gods.

But this time, the Anti-Monitor's active service brought him not only psychological satisfaction, but also a lot of knowledge about the essence of the power of the three brothers. This knowledge was absorbed by Barbatos through the status of the dragon of Barbatos, making it stronger.

For example, why the Anti-Monitor launched the Infinite Earth Crisis: because the three brothers jointly backstabbed their mother, the mother of the multiverse, Papetua, causing her to become the Origin Wall, and the Origin Wall became the edge of the multiverse, which made the original edge of the multiverse The antimatter universe suddenly became redundant.

The Anti-Monitor's domain has become useless waste, so he launched the Infinite Earth Crisis and seized it by devouring the Monitor's positive matter universe...

This knowledge, especially the content about how to increase one's power by expanding the domain of one's own authority, is exactly what Barbatos, the powerful but shallow dragon who turned against his former master, lacks the most.

Barbatos has his own plan. From a very early period, he has been planning to invade the main world. (Note: For example, during the Final Crisis, the main universe Batman was teleported back to ancient times... The Final Battle, the infection of the Dionysus factor, and so on, many events, Barbatos is constantly infecting the main universe Batman with metal)

But whether it is the Barbatos Dragon Manufacturing Plan or the Dark Knights Recruitment Plan, for Barbatos, these plans are just "side quests" surrounding his steady invasion of the main universe plan. Even if this side plan provides him with important gains such as the Anti-Monitor's brain, the Monitor's location, and the Anti-Monitor's puppet, it still cannot change the essence that these plans are not his main focus.

Therefore, after Barbatos gave the puppet controlled by the Anti-Monitor power, he completely shifted his attention from the next battle back to understanding this knowledge.

In the final analysis, what about the Anti-Monitor, what about Batman, and even the Anti-Monitor's plan, all of these were not taken seriously by Barbatos. In this war, Barbatos was always the one hiding behind the scenes and sitting on the Diaoyutai.

From the dark multiverse to the bright positive matter universe, no matter how Batman and the Anti-Monitor fight, what does this have to do with him, Barbatos?

Then Barbatos was suddenly startled by the huge changes in the multiverse.

The future of the multiverse timeline was originally unknown, like a road that you don't know when it will be repaved. Not to mention Barbatos, even Dr. Manhattan can't say that he fully understands the future development.

(Note: For details, please refer to the DC event "Doomsday Clock", Dr. Manhattan VS Superman, he only saw two results, but in fact the third result happened.)

Most of the time, under Barbatos' observation, he could only see the future of the timeline, but the future of the super-time stream was a fog, just like you can see the end of the road, but you don't know when the road will be repaired again.

But now, Barbatos suddenly discovered that in the future of the multiverse, there was a destruction timeline that had not yet solidified.

?

Barbatos couldn't help but pause when he gnawed the corpse of the World Forger, and even stopped rubbing his claws that kept trying to figure out the Anti-Monitor experience package.

Why is the multiverse going to be destroyed before he invaded it?

It was obviously he who started preparing first, including the layout of the main universe Batman and the formation of the Dark Knights. He made so many preparations, but he didn't have time to start them. Why did they suddenly become useless?

? ? ?

Barbatos did not appear on that timeline, because he is now strong to a certain extent, unless he is willing to intervene.

But the problem is that on that timeline, Parallax Demon Hal and Superboy Prime, who repeatedly reinstalled the system in the main universe of the multiverse, completely disrupted Barbatos' plan!

Look at what they did:

They tried to prevent Batman's parents from dying, tried to prevent Superman's Krypton from being destroyed, tried to prevent Aquaman Arthur's father from dying...

And the Flash's mother, Green Arrow's father, and Martian Manhunter's home, this crazy forced "family alive" plan almost broke the DC main universe.

Due to the underlying operating logic that the multiverse will definitely have a crisis, even if they escape Crime Alley, Batman's parents will always die in different ways every few years. Even if Superman's Krypton did not explode due to short-term brute force, it will eventually become a big firework in the universe for various reasons.

This is why the World Forgers only wanted to hammer out a multiverse from the beginning to the end, instead of thinking about transforming the multiverse created by their own mother. This place is designed in this way from the underlying logic operation, and it cannot be controlled by brute force at all!

And the stubbornness of Parallax Demon Hal and Prime Superboy is far beyond Barbatos's imagination. Most people will give up when they find that no matter how to restart the universe, some things cannot be changed, but these two are almost obsessed. Anyway, after I use brute force to modify the universe, I will maintain peace for a few years, and then there will be a crisis. Then I will wait for the crisis to restart the universe again, right?

This extremely "smart" plan makes them restart the universe as easy as eating and drinking. This will not only make Bruce Wayne in the main universe repeatedly experience the scene of his parents dying in several universe restarts, but also cause the entire multiverse to begin to decline.

Batman began to kill people, Superman became extremely indifferent, and Martian Manhunter began to use his transformation ability to gather power...

The bright and moral side of the heroes is disappearing, which is direct evidence that the immune system of the entire multiverse is weakening.

Although Barbatos wants to invade the main universe, he just wants to establish the order of Barbatos.

After the entire multiverse is under his command, the immune system superheroes of the multiverse will be reconstructed by him to become the power to protect him, Barbatos. However, what Parallax Mohal and Superboy Prime did was to completely destroy the multiverse!

Barbatos' authority and power come from the dark multiverse, which means that he and the entire multiverse share weal and woe.

Now, let alone the grand plan, it went bankrupt on the spot. Barbatos didn't even gnaw on the corpse of the World Forger, but stood up directly.

"Damn it!"

The original DC universe had been seriously injured after the experiment conducted by Dr. Manhattan (Dr. Manhattan stole the DC universe for 10 years), which was equivalent to a healthy person being directly dragged to do live experiments. Taking advantage of the weakened immune system of the multiverse, Barbatos originally thought that this was a great opportunity for him to invade the main universe, but now it seems...

Barbatos tried to leave the World Forge, but he couldn't. Only on this point, he did not lie to the Anti-Monitor. Perhaps the Anti-Monitor thinks that he just doesn't want to interrupt his absorption of the power of the World Forger, but the truth is far more complicated than the Anti-Monitor thinks.

Barbatos' power comes from the World Forger, and the authority of the World Forger comes from its casting of the universe in the World Forge.

Only when the Dragon of Barbatos returns to its position can Barbatos completely retain its powerful power when leaving the World Forge. Maybe the World Forger can leave the World Forge at will, but Barbatos, who has not yet completely absorbed his power, cannot.

Even if he forcibly leaves the World Forge, his power will be weakened to the extreme, so what's the use?

But now the bad thing is that the authority of the Dragon of Barbatos is divided into two, one in the Batman of the Dark Multiverse and the other in the Anti-Monitor, which makes Barbatos very passive.

He immediately tried to inflict his own pollution on Batman, and more pollution. As long as he could control the other party, he could make Batman and the puppet controlled by the Anti-Monitor merge into one, becoming the complete Dragon of Barbatos, thus filling the position and releasing Barbatos.

In this way, Barbatos could intervene in the timeline of destruction, and even by erasing the timeline of destruction, he could lay more foreshadowings for Barbatos to rule the main universe in the current timeline, and try to push the future in that direction.

Then...

Barbatos' pollution hit the golden will of many heroes, and it was broken and bleeding.

"Batman swallowed all those heroes into his stomach?" Barbatos realized that the current Batman of the Dark Multiverse was simply a walking immune system.

Not only did he trick the heroes who acted as immune systems, but he also connected his mind with them. Don't even mention whether Barbatos has the ability to crush the will of these heroes. Even if he can, doing so is equivalent to going against the entire multiverse. The multiverse has been weakened by the Parallax Demon Hal and Superboy Prime. If Barbatos kills the last bit of immune cells...

Damn, when did I, Barbatos, become the savior of the multiverse?

Although Barbatos thought so, he really couldn't do it. He had reason and a plan. He couldn't just do it regardless of the consequences, like Hal and Superboy.

"What do you want, Batman?"

When Barbatos saw Batman's completely dinosaur-like face with a grin from ear to ear, he knew that the situation was not good.

"I want you to give up the authority over the Dragon of Barbatos. This authority originally belonged to you, but now you already have a better one."

"That's impossible. I'd rather let the multiverse be destroyed."

Chen Tao's proposal was immediately rejected by Barbatos.

Chen Tao's meaning was very simple. He asked Barbatos to give up the direct control of the [Dragon of Barbatos] and turn this person back to the [Dragon of the Dark Multiverse] during the World Forger period. He openly told Barbatos that he wanted to steal this godhood and become a god with complete free will.

This was absolutely unbearable for Barbatos.

How did he get to the top? Didn't he know?

He was originally the Dragon of the Dark Multiverse, and then he backfired on the World Forger.

If he gives up the control of this person, Batman, who is equivalent to becoming the dragon of the dark multiverse, can also bite him. Isn't this the case that Cao Wei first usurped the Han Dynasty and was usurped by Sima, and put his life in the hands of others? This The discussion can collapse from the start.

"I will never allow such a thing to happen. You should give up this intention as soon as possible." Barbatos said: "The personality of the Dragon of Barbatos cannot be changed, but I can allow you to temporarily merge with the Anti-Monitor. "

"I'm the villain."

"..."

"Barbatos, I will never allow myself to lose my free will and become your pawn. You must give me a chance to escape from your control, otherwise everything I do will be meaningless!"

"I object!"

The Anti-Monitor's voice broke in, and he almost exploded with anger: "Barbatos, you dog, our previous deal was..."

Then his voice was cut off by Barbatos in an instant: "You are my dog ​​now!"

The anti-monitor wanted to curse, but then his voice disappeared from the connection between Chen Tao and Barbatos.

"I can give you complete control of the body after you merge with the Anti-Monitor. When you become the Dragon of Barbatos and sit in the world furnace instead of me, I will leave there to suppress the destruction of the future timeline. ”

Barbatos said: "Parallax Hal and Superboy-Prime are indeed very strong, but after all, they are not the characters who should have appeared in the current timeline. I have the ability to deal with them, as long as I don't confront them head-on.

Then the multiverse will be saved and timelines fixed. I allow you to abandon the personhood of the Dragon of Barbatos and return to the positive material universe with part of the Anti-Monitor's anti-matter energy and the heroes you swallowed. At that time, I was suppressing the future timeline and was unable to stop it. . "

"You actually dare to use my power as a favor?" The power of the anti-monitor intervened again: "You dirty, insignificant, cowardly dog——"

His voice was strangled again. In the real world, the Anti-Monitor controlled the puppet and fought tooth and nail to get away from the three-way melee between Parallax Hal and Superboy-Prime. It furiously rushed towards Chen Tao, who was squatting aside to watch the battle.

"I'll kill you!"

"This deal makes perfect sense. Make your decision, Batman."

Barbatos said: "I have made the biggest concession. If you don't know what to do..."

"I agree."

Barbatos felt relieved. In fact, he still took advantage. In the process of sorting out the future timeline, it can make its own invasion and domination easier, even almost certain to win.

Chen Tao was also relieved. You see, Barbatos came up with a solution himself, and he was convinced of his idea.

First put forward a condition that Barbatos will never accept, and then ask the other party to give a condition themselves - this kind of gameplay may be very rough, but fortunately Barbatos doesn't have time to worry about it now.

The Anti-Monitor was also relieved - he was about to explode with anger.

Everyone present got what they wanted, but he, the Anti-Monitor, was the only loser. He invested too much, not only betrayed his body, but also betrayed his brother, and invested so much strength!

He rushed towards Batman desperately, and then he found that he could not move. Barbatos interfered with his actions. He took the initiative to become Barbatos' dog, and Barbatos had a far-reaching influence on him. Deeper than for Batman.

Then he saw Batman lying behind him.

"No, damn it!"

The dragon-shaped bullet head of the anti-monitor turned to look at Chen Tao: "I remember you, I will..."

Then as Chen Tao stood up, the two of them merged into one, like two melted wax liquids mixing into a new form.

"very good."

Barbatos said.

He felt he had some control over Batman, but he voluntarily gave up that. He kept his promise, and Batman found out.

"Open the portal and come to the Forge of the World. You must know what to do."

Chen Tao nodded, then he flapped his wings, and intentionally or unintentionally began to fly towards Superboy Prime and Parallax Hal, who were facing each other not far away.

"Yes, speed up."

Barbatos said, "The portal is open!"

As the huge golden portal lights up, traveling through the infinite universe, the Forge of the World lies behind it.

Barbatos saw the Batman coming closer, closer, closer.

Then he suddenly turned 180 degrees and slapped Parallax Hal and Superboy-Prime, who were still fighting, into the portal.

The roar of the fierce fight between the two of them instantly sounded in the world melting pot. Barbatos opened his mouth in confusion when he saw the two gods appearing in his home.

"ha?"

Then he heard Batman's words.

"Come on, Lord Barbatos, save the world!!!"
