What bad intentions could Batman have?

(This volume is finished. Thank you for subscribing and thank you for your company along the way. Tomorrow I will publish the closing remarks of Volume 4. I will update it early today and go to bed early. Good night everyone, I wish you a good night.)

Dragon, a huge dragon.

A huge dragon, traveling in the dark multiverse.

He is going to go through a journey, a great journey to save the world.

He wants to bring back all the souls of his Justice League floating in the corners of the dark multiverse, and he can do it.

He left the magical power of the Red of All Living Things on all members of the Justice League a long time ago, so after they die, they will not return directly to the arms of Lady Death, but will go to the underworld of the Red of All Living Things:

The Garden of Bones.

That is part of the DC death rules, but it is not that no one has ever escaped from there.

In the New 52, ​​Animal Man Buddy Baker once returned to the Garden of Bones of the Red of All Living Things after being killed by the three hunters of the Black of Decay.

The many totems of the Totem Council must resurrect Animal Man to protect his daughter, who is also the true king of the Red of All Living Things [Maxine, the King of Life], so they choose to resurrect Animal Man.

Because Animal Man's body was already occupied by the three hunters of the Black of Decay at that time, they set about reshaping his body, but the situation Chen Tao is facing now does not need to be so troublesome.

He crossed the universes of the Dark Multiverse one after another, floating through those broken shells that were crushed into powder.

When he passed by a dark multiverse that was about to turn into ashes, he saw that the fate woven by Barbatos was shining in the dark multiverse.

Lois Lane, the wife of Superman Clark Kent, inherited the powerful energy of the Kryptonians in the Life Matrix (a Kryptonian resurrection program) through the Eradicator (a Kryptonian robot) after Superman Clark Kent died tragically at the hands of Doomsday, thus possessing superpowers.

But in Lois Lane's view, superheroes don't care what Superman has done for the world. She thinks she has seen the truth that Superman dare not face: they cannot be saved, and they don't want to be saved.

Lois Lane of the Dark Multiverse went on a killing spree in their universe.

She burned Luthor alive into a skeleton, murdered Ninja Master Rai Oug, Victor Zsasz (Gotham villain, murderer), God of War Ares, Black Adam (dictator anti-hero) Deathstroke, Parasyte.

And in this wanton massacre, even Batman of the Dark Multiverse was roasted into charcoal.

Her battle with Cyborg Superman, Superboy and Steel spanned the sky of Metropolis.

She let Superboy's head melt through by Cyborg Superman, and Steel was twisted into a bleeding can by Cyborg Superman like a tofu twist in iron armor. They didn't know how long they fought, let alone how many people were killed.

However, when she had fallen into the avenging angel who slaughtered heroes and frightened countless people, her Superman was resurrected from the regeneration matrix just like in the main universe.

Chen Tao tried to use the personality of the Dark Multiverse Dragon to observe the future development of this universe, but failed. After all, he was still unfamiliar with the power of this personality, but he could still recall the ending he knew from the comics.

The newly resurrected Superman died tragically at the hands of the Cyborg Superman again. New hope and the dawn of a new beginning just lit up, and then it returned to nothingness again. This is the fate that Barbatos has woven for this universe.

Lois Lane believes in the truth, but her truth is stimulated by revenge, and revenge knows nothing about the truth. Revenge is just darkness.

Her fate was originally unchangeable, but now...

I seem to have a chance to interfere.

When the green kryptonite energy light waves condensed in the muzzle of the mechanical Superman's arm, when the fate of this dark multiverse came to the crossroads of complete destruction...

Lois Lane, the angel of revenge of the multiverse, raised her head. On her dark face and red eyes, the kryptonite light shot at her husband, Clark Superman, was reflected, and the dragon shaking its head, tail and flapping its wings in the sky was also reflected.

The dragon was golden and had...

Uh.

It had a twisted and laughing face, and the hideous bone spurs from the ravager.

And the red lightning bat-shaped logo of the Red Death.

And the pale skin of the drowned soul.

And the deep red eyes of the Dark Father.

And the Bat-Lenyaq...

All kinds of strange Batman features were mixed and displayed on this dragon, full of evil and madness, full of blasphemy and filth, but dancing like a butterfly.

As the dragon flapped its wings, the deadly kryptonite beam that the Cyborg Superman had originally shot at Superman Clark Kent suddenly made a strange deflection in mid-air.

It shifted 50 degrees, which barely complies with the laws of physics.

90 degrees, which is almost a direct left turn.

180 degrees, Newton would have cried if he had seen it.

Then the angel of revenge, Lois Lane, saw that the kryptonite beam shot by the Cyborg Superman finally turned around on the spot and hit his face directly.

His Superman was safe, and the angel of revenge, Lois, temporarily avoided the completely crazy ending in his original destiny. The ending of the story ended with warmth and reunion -

temporarily.

But believe me, this is by no means meaningless.

Although their ending may be doomed to tragedy due to the incompleteness of the universe, at least now, at this moment, I hope you can enjoy the peace and joy of victory.

I will share the intelligence of the dark multiverse with you, and facing the dark fate and dark future, each of you has the right to struggle and survive like me.

And this is the only thing I can do for you when Barbatos cannot intervene.

My name is Batman, also known as Chen Tao. I am the dragon of the dark multiverse. When you stand at the bottom of the dark multiverse and look up...

I am determined to be the only light shining on you.

Chen Tao looked at Clark and Louis who were sleeping in each other's arms in that world.

Tomorrow, the angel of revenge Louis will be tried for murdering Batman and many villains in their world, but at least...

You can spend this night safely.

In a dark multiverse, Sinestro, surrounded by black lamp corpses, raised his head. Half of his body was white lamp, and the other half was completely transformed into black lamp.

He made the wrong choice at the critical moment, causing the entire universe to become a dead land at this moment.

He could neither die nor want to live, but just now, his white lantern ring detected Bai Ge, the only remaining woman on Earth and the only person immune to the black lantern ring.

This may be the hope of their universe.

White Lantern Sinestro raised his head and saw the distant sky, and the swaying dragon left the last reflection.

In another dark multiverse, Bruce Wayne was lingering in Arkham Asylum. He had to fake his death. He had to hide it from his enemy Thomas Elliot (the main universe Batman villain Silence) and the main surgeon Dr. Crane (the main universe Scarecrow).

Although the chances of winning were slim, Bruce knew that Alfred was carrying out his plan, which was one of the few warmth in his cold heart.

In the dark multiverse, only a very few Bruces would not pick up the mantle of Batman. Even a life of imprisonment, torture, and madness could not stop it.

In a half-awake state, Silent Bat heard an illusory dragon roar, like when he was young and was held in the arms of his mother Martha, and the fire in the fireplace was burning, making the firewood crackle gently.

This beautiful dream comforted Silent Bat and reminded him of the extremely short-lived beauty in his life.

Although behind that short-lived beauty is a cold, ruthless, cold and dark world, please believe that you can face it calmly even if you are forced into a desperate situation.

But among the countless dark multiverses that Chen Tao had traveled through, only a small part of the universe was warmed by the light he brought. He was like a mortal on a dark beach, holding a torch high and constantly throwing stranded fish back into the sea. His light once briefly illuminated the beach...

But after leaving, everything returned to darkness.

So we can know... the torch is not the sun after all.

But in the darkness, seeing some light faintly is enough for people to pursue, isn't it?

But in the same way, not all universes in the dark multiverse are so harmless, it is also full of dangers.

A wanderer in the dark multiverse who calls himself Terror Lantern attacks Chen Tao. A Green Lantern who escapes into evil, a father who can never redeem himself, a beam of light that once stood up for justice, but now forever serves death.

Terror Lantern comes from a degraded version of the Crisis on Infinite Earths. In that world, it was not the Justice League that survived the crisis, but the Justice Society.

This change made that world with infinite potential, from the beginning, deeply trapped in the flames of Surtur, the God of Fire.

The first Green Lantern Alan Scott. In order to preserve his own world, he knelt before Surtur, the God of Fire, and guided him to destroy other worlds in exchange for Surtur letting his world go.

So he became Terror Lantern, and he illuminated the path of destruction for countless dark multiverses.

A new Earth survived, but looking at the universe, all the worlds perished, and the cycle repeats. Alan Scott guided Surtur and his army to an unknown world, and the cycle repeats...

The former Green Lantern brought Ragnarok, and his flames merged with Surtur, burning trillions of lives.

Chen Tao heard the roar of the Terrifying Lantern holding a flaming giant sword:

"The Flaming Demon Evil, the Lord of Divine Light! Only death exists, and the Terrifying Lantern will stay forever!"

This sounded like a roar, a scream, and a helpless cry.

Chen Tao waved his huge claws and fought against the Terrifying Lantern in the air.

He had to speed up to get rid of the entanglement of the other party waving the flaming giant sword like crazy, and he didn't have much time.

Chen Tao saw a completely corrupted version of Wonder Woman again, a painful, deadly woman possessed by the goddess of magic Hecate, with hatred beating in her body.

She once inspired the inner peace of everyone in her world.

But the former Wonder Woman is now nothing more than Queen Hecate, who brings chaos and death.

Chen Tao escaped the sword swung by the other party.

He had no time to tangle with the other party.

Finally, he found his own Wonder Woman. He carefully picked up the other party's corpse, and then swung his tail, the next one, and the next one.

He not only brings hope to others, but also brings hope to himself and his own universe.

It's time for us to go home.

…

…

…

At the edge of the hyper-time stream, the blue Dr. Manhattan quietly watched Batman flapping his wings in the dark multiverse. His experiment had already achieved perfect results, so there was no need to kill Batman again.

He needed to keep Batman. He felt that the Batman in this dark multiverse was extremely special. His behavior and existence drove the development of the entire dark multiverse. This was the only individual Dr. Manhattan had discovered who was a little bit close to Superman in the main universe.

So the blue bald man quietly observed and waited silently, and this was the best quality of the experimenter.

On the other side of the hyper-time stream.

Parallax Mohal returned to the timeline where he was supposed to exist, and because of drifting in the hyper-time stream, he lost all his memories of leaving the current time point.

As usual, he preached his concept of a perfect earth to many heroes, but he often got stuck from time to time.

Something was surging and jumping in his mind, but he couldn't remember it.

Hal Jordan, the Parallax Demon, was like an iron rod that had just been pulled out of the broken concrete. A pair of invisible hands inserted him back to his original position, and then used some new cement to smooth the broken concrete road, trying to make the iron rod forget that it had been forcibly pulled out of the road.

The influence of the Batman of the Dark Multiverse on the super-time stream was permanent. His actions broke a large number of cement roads that had once been completely solidified, and countless "iron rods" like Hal Jordan, the Parallax Demon, regained their freedom-

After they completely discovered that the cement road next to them was no longer solidified, but was re-paved with the fragments of the once solidified cement and the unsolidified cement.

Among these many strong men, Hal, the Parallax Demon, was the first to discover that the cement next to him was not solid enough.

He held his head and recalled the memory of invading the Hypertime Stream and being expelled by Batman and Barbatos...

He let out a creepy laugh...

He turned around and suddenly gave up his plan to persuade those superheroes, and said to Mocun:

"Come here..."

(Note: Mocun, a villain who controls the power of time, is very powerful. He teamed up with Parallax Demon Hal to create the Zero Time Crisis)

Earth 15.

Lantern No. 1 looked at the Time Trapper, who was still dressed as Superboy Prime, with bloodshot eyes, flying out of the Lex Building in Metropolis like a comet, and then flew high into the atmosphere.

(Note: Superboy Prime killed Lex Luthor of that Earth first when destroying Earth 15, because he reminded Superboy Prime of Alexander Luthor)

He finally knew who the demon who destroyed his universe was, but then Lantern No. 1 felt endless light and heat.

If he had time to recuperate and then calmly master more emotional spectra, he could at least fight the devil who destroyed his home, but now...

The First Lantern cried and suffered, but nothing could be changed. All his strength was used to prevent himself from being destroyed by the powerful force of Superboy-Prime to destroy the planet. He could only watch himself escape through the shuttle lamp, while his mother was destroyed... Nothing is more painful than this, bringing hope and giving despair.

The pulse brought by the destruction of Earth-15 by the Time Trapper Superboy-Prime continued to spread, and his body also disintegrated in his crying and turned into pure spectral energy, but then...

The original body of the First Lantern on the super-time stream suddenly raised his head.

Originally in the multiverse, due to the law of causality, the First Lanterns of countless parallel universes, whether they were clones or original bodies, or at different time points, had the only thing in common that no First Lantern could find the location of Earth-15 in any way.

The super-time stream fundamentally blocked the possibility that the first Lantern could save his world and save his mother, thus causing the super-time stream to collapse, but this was broken by Batman alone, which was definitely poisonous.

The first Lantern's body showed a look of horror on his face, followed by extreme ecstasy.

Look, another iron rod began to struggle, trying to pull itself out of the half-solidified road.

By then, the rage of the first Lantern will shock the entire multiverse!

And in a farther corner, in a more complex dimension.

The Black Death Emperor carefully protects William Hand, a treasure boy who he just found from the dark multiverse.

This death spokesperson holding a sickle never thought that he could find such a satisfactory agent in the dark multiverse.

But no matter how he persuaded, the treasure boy of the Black Death Emperor was unwilling to do anything for the Black Death Emperor, so the Black Death Emperor had to let go of this precious boy and turn his attention back to the dark multiverse.

His eyes swept across the universe that had been conquered by him, leaving only Sinestro holding the white light ring, and he turned his eyes to the newly built fortress, the dark multiverse where his treasure boy was born.

Maybe he needs to conquer that dark multiverse to convince William Hand to act as his spokesperson and eliminate the waste in the main universe.

Oh, by the way, if he wants to attack that fortress, the Black Death Emperor needs a spy, an insider and an outsider...

The Black Death Emperor cast his eyes on the dead universe overlords, and then he saw Lafleeze, the Lord of Orange Lantern.

In another corner of the hyper-time stream, Brainiac and the Ultimate Star are also collecting countless cities on the nodes that are about to be destroyed.

Brainiac survived the Flashpoint incident, and he longs for more and wants to become a greater existence. Trying to achieve the same evolution as the Monitor and the Anti-Monitor...

He is about to set off his own destiny, he is about to set off...

"Multiverse Fusion"!!!

And...

Barbatos is whispering with the Anti-Monitor for the last time. The Anti-Monitor wants to kill Barbatos, but he will always know that if he wants to return to reality, he must rely on Barbatos...

Unlike those iron bars that can twist their bodies on the hyper-time stream, the infinite earth crisis caused by the Anti-Monitor is the cornerstone of the entire multiverse. Unlike other iron bars, he could not stretch his body, and he was still unable to move.

The Laughing Bat brought the Anti-Monitor's astral brain to Barbatos, and Barbatos. The plan to invade the main universe did not slow down, but accelerated the speed of planning.

Barbatos' plan itself was about to be completed, and even without Batman's intervention, his invasion of the main universe was just around the corner.

Although Batman took away 1/4 of his status as the Dragon of the Dark Multiverse, he gained the Anti-Monitor's Dragon, which was fully infused by the Anti-Monitor, and a large amount of antimatter energy infused by the Anti-Monitor's body. Barbatos' overall strength did not decrease but increased. All the power he lost from Batman was replenished by sucking the Anti-Monitor's blood, and it was a big supplement.

Not only that, he can now use the Anti-Monitor Dragon to control the Anti-Monitor. Unless the Anti-Monitor is willing to give up all his investment in the Anti-Monitor Dragon and the only opportunity to interfere with the future timeline, otherwise for Barbatos, the contractual relationship between them will always be unequal.

The Dark Multiverse Night Metal is coming, a new crisis is brewing, and the wheel of history is rolling forward, but at least now, Batman, who has transformed into the Dark Multiverse Dragon, has returned to his fortress.

He is about to enjoy peace here for a while... until the time to set off again comes.

But among these countless crises, there is one thing that Batman never expected, and it is also the most special one.

Batman's villains are numerous, but there is one who is extremely special to the hero Batman. It can even be said that this one is completely the opposite of all Batman.

And at a certain period in the long history of DC, this character once had a peak period of extreme power and even subverted the history of the entire main universe.

During that period, this character captured the five-dimensional creature Troublemaker and seized all of his power. This amazing move gave this character the powerful power to smear reality and change the world at will like a god.

Although he was defeated in the end and this period of history was forever embedded in the super time stream, this period of history was also shaken by Chen Tao's actions.

Does this mean that the most powerful version of this character will also escape from the super-time stream?

Oh, right.

We haven't mentioned the name of this character yet, but please note that this character who has obtained the powerful power of the troublemaker is definitely a completely different species from the crazy character that countless people have in mind.

So, we are going to say his name now, with a sense of destiny like Batman's nemesis, and a tangle that Batman can never escape as a prefix, a strongest version of a character that Batman once thought he would never see again.

We call him:

Emperor Joker.
