What bad intentions could Batman have?

Of course, Barbatos cannot follow the opponent's rhythm. He will not be represented, not even by the Black Death Emperor.

The matter in front of him essentially has nothing to do with him, and it is also unlikely to be of any help to Barbatos' plan. Therefore, he does not need to entangle with the Black Death Emperor, he only needs to show his attitude through actions.

But when Barbatos grabbed the Laughing Bat and was about to leave, he saw a ray of black light energy materializing in front of him and turning into a railing, blocking his way.

It's surprising that Barbatos never knew that black light energy could actually take on some form of concrete expression like green light or other colors of light.

In the past, the Black Death Emperor would only use these black lights to resurrect corpses, or at most liquefy them into juice to contaminate others.

But today, the Lord of Death showed the same methods as an ordinary lantern in front of Barbatos.

Just as surprised as Barbatos was the Black Death Emperor himself.

Frankly speaking, Black Death Emperor never thought that his style of painting would become so... Lantern, but he readily accepted it. Although he was an antique, he was not imitating the past. He knew that he was now possessed by William Hand, the Black Death. The relationship between them was not a simple one between the controller and the controlled, but a kind of fusion.

He will inevitably be influenced by William and change the way he behaves, but this is not important. The point is that this body will do what the Black Death Emperor wants.

As long as the goal is achieved, the process is not important. Even if William Hand's content in it is too high, the Black Death Emperor has always done things hard, so what if William Hand has the willpower?

Can it break through its control?

The Black Death Emperor uses his power to suppress others. William Hand, a mortal, had no power to resist. If the other party has the ability to resist, Black Death Emperor will happily accept it as long as it brings death, just like Hal Jordan who broke into the land of death and controlled himself to kill the first Lantern.

To put it simply, if the Black Death Emperor is dominant, then he must create death; if someone can dominate the Black Death Emperor, then he must also create death, because creating death is the nature of the Black Death Emperor; if he is not willing to create, Then he cannot control the Black Death Emperor; regardless of whether the Black Death Emperor is controlled or not, death must have been caused, and that is a situation that the Black Death Emperor can accept.

To be honest, the Black Death Emperor knows that what he is doing now may be a little crazy, but this is his nature and cannot be controlled by himself.

He had a vague feeling that things seemed not to be under his control, but under the influence of William Hand, who was controlled by him. But Black Death Emperor didn't care. Nothing can really hurt him, and his understanding of things is different from that of normal creatures.

Although William Hand was not here, the Black Death Emperor just let the reins go and let the subconscious mind of this body lead him to move——

Just like a girl in love knows what will happen to her when she is taken into the woods, but she lets her lover hold her hand because he is connected to William Hand...he knows what the other person does. Just to bring more death...good boy.

It made him want it, it made him happy.

"The Laughing Bat promised me many things."

Black Death heard himself say, "He promised me the death of Batman's Dragon, and the annihilation of all life in several universes."

The Laughing Bat, who was being held by Barbatos, wanted to curse when he heard this. When did he promise several universes?

When the Laughing Bat made his promise, he didn't even think about whether he could complete it. He originally planned to bite the Black Death Emperor after the matter was over. Anyway, such cooperation would never happen again.

Kuangxiao knew that he was full of lies when he promised, but even he never promised to give the other party a few universes. The Black Death Emperor was completely talking like a lion.

Barbatos' eyes also darkened. This was a provocation. It was not just a problem with the Laughing Bat. No one could remain unharmed after provoking Barbatos.

This giant dragon intends to teach the Black Death Emperor a lesson - not to attack the opponent's body in the world of death, but just to disperse the incarnation in front of him.

Barbatos was about to do that when he almost raised his paw.

As he moved, a huge gap suddenly opened at the edge of the universe, and dark matter energy flowed out from it like a tide. Behind the crack, the world's furnace lit up its last ray of fire, illuminating Barbatos' dark purple eyes and open tattered bat wings in the darkness.

The incarnation of Barbatos, which was not much larger than the Laughing Bat, suddenly expanded and became ready to attack.

This is both a show of intimidation and a need to gather strength.

There was no fear on the skull-like face of the Black Death Emperor, and another crack was also torn open in the void of this universe, allowing people to barely get a glimpse of it.

The wails of the dead sang like songs from behind the gap, and thick black mist poured out. Without the body of Black Death Knight William Hand, Black Death Emperor would never be able to instill such huge power into the material universe, but now he can, and this is one of his confidence.

But despite this, in the current material universe, it is definitely not a rational decision to openly confront Barbatos, but the Black Death Emperor still did so.

This is not only due to the nature of the Lord of Death, but also because of his trust in the other half of William Hand in his subconscious body.

No one has ever given him such a feeling. He feels that he can get more deaths. He only intends to trust the other person this once.

If the perceived "more deaths" don't materialize, next time, there won't be such trust, and that's fair enough.

As for the Black Death Emperor, he always has a next time, so wasting an opportunity in reality does not seem to be such an unacceptable thing.

And at this tense moment, Brainiac, who had been acting as a transparent person next to him, suddenly raised his hand.

"That's enough." He said, but neither Barbatos nor the Black Death Emperor took Brainiac's warning seriously.

Who the hell are you Brainiac? Who knows you? Do you have a say here?

The Black Death Emperor can barely be said to be on the same level as Barbatos. No matter how powerful you are, Brainiac, you are still an ordinary villain in the material universe.

Neither the Black Death Emperor nor Barbatos took Brainiac seriously at first.

Brainiac's pink eyes flickered twice, but in the end he didn't make any drastic move. He retreated silently, not intending to participate in this battle, nor did he intend to continue to intervene.

Outside of the super-time flow, the World Caster is also silently observing all this.

"This won't work."

The World Forger thought quietly.

To be honest, he didn't really want to use such power in front of Barbatos, but things didn't allow him to take any risks. So after sighing softly, the lips under the blue face of the World Forger wriggled slightly.

He single-handedly led Brainiac's awakening. Throughout the history of Brainiac's rise, there are miracles everywhere, but these "miracles" that the other party considers are actually just the influence of the World Forger behind the scenes.

At this time, as the World Forger was about to temporarily and officially die, the stage of directing by him was about to begin. At this juncture, it was impossible for him to accept Brainiac's conservative strategy.

The more aggressive the opponent is, the better. The more powerful people they can recruit, the more people die, and the greater the damage to the hyper-time flow.

Brainiac mistakenly thought that he was just recycling the "waste" that was destined to be destroyed. He thought that those universes were destroyed in the super-time flow, so it could use them to strengthen itself without any hidden dangers, and even In an attempt to extract power from it, he becomes a six-dimensional god like the Anti-Monitor and the Monitor.

But power cannot be obtained out of thin air. The energy extracted from these universes originally belongs to the super-time flow.

The Anti-Monitor's failure in Crisis on Infinite Earths caused the huge power he originally gained from devouring the positive matter universe to disperse and feed back to the entire multiverse. His own antimatter energy was shared by Superboy-Prime and Parallax Hal.

Each destroyed universe will turn into energy and return to the World Forge, and then be reshaped into a new universe by the World Forger. This process is a reincarnation process of recycling and reuse, but if Brainiac robs these energies out of thin air, it will inevitably cause the hypertime flow to become even weaker, just like drawing blood from a seriously ill patient.

As a parasite, he becomes stronger by sucking the blood of the multiverse, but if the multiverse is finished, what's the point of sucking more blood?

This is simply drinking poison to quench thirst.

But the World Forger's goal is to kill the patient, and he doesn't care about Brainiac or the future of the multiverse.

So at this moment, Brainiac heard the whisper in his ears. He shook his head slightly, and then changed his mind.

He raised his hand, attracting the attention of Barbatos and the Black Death Emperor.

A ball of pure antimatter energy swirled and danced in his palm. This came from the powerful power that the Anti-Monitor once possessed, causing the Black Death Emperor and Barbatos to stop their actions at the same time.

Barbatos did not speak. The next second, invisible power condensed in the air, and a tiny incarnation of the Anti-Monitor Dragon appeared here under the control of Barbatos.

"Anti-Monitor, is this your former power?"

Barbatos asked.

"No, my power! Mine! Mine! This is mine, damn you..."

The Anti-Monitor Dragon was kicked back with a snap of his fingers in the middle of his curse.

Barbatos touched his chin.

"How on earth do you do that? I mean, there's no way you can distill this."

Brainiac of course couldn't, but the World Forger could. Only gods of the sixth dimension can control the power of gods of the same sixth dimension.

The World Forger can extract his brother's power from those destroyed worlds, but that does not mean that he has taken over his person. Barbatos, who has taken over the world's furnace, can also do the same.

It's just a family dog ​​after all.

The Worldforger knew Barbatos was suspicious, but he could shake it off.

In his whisper, Brainiac extracted another ray of antimatter energy from the energy after the destruction of the universe in front of Barbatos.

Now Barbatos suddenly became friendly. The way he looked at Brainiac changed from an ant to an excellent cook. Barbatos almost drooled with greed.

The greed on this giant dragon's face was so undisguised that it even looked a bit vulgar. He rubbed his huge claws and then said:

"Cooperation, what cooperation do you want?"

"More worlds." Brainiac said: "Through the destruction of these worlds, the Black Death Emperor——"

Brainiac's hideous face bowed slightly towards the Black Death Emperor: "You will receive the death of all life in this world. They will become completely dregs and disappear into nothingness, and their souls will go to your kingdom."

Then he turned to Barbatos.

"And you, Barbatos, you will share with me the sixth-dimensional divine power extracted after destroying the world. As long as you are willing to help me find more universes, I am willing to share the fruits of victory with you equally. Not only the anti-monitor, but also the monitor."

Brainiac said this, and he thought that every word he said was from the heart.

But in the unknown corner of the super-time stream, the tone and tone of the world forger gradually overlapped with Brainiac, and the meaning of every word he said became more and more similar, and finally even resonated with the same frequency.

Barbatos sneered, he would not share equally with Brainiac, he wanted all the power. He knew that Brainiac probably thought so too, but before the final results came out, they could still maintain superficial harmony.

They can cooperate when cooking, but when the meal is done, it depends on who can eat it.

"And for this alliance, this world will be used as a deposit, how about it?" Barbatos said.

But even though he thought so, Barbatos still interrupted the other party. For some reason, he had a creepy feeling, as if he was facing his former master, the World Forger.

He was eager to regain control of the conversation. He felt very strange now, greed and fear intertwined, making him feel extremely excited.

But it was obvious that greed won in the end.

"Okay, but in addition to getting this world, I also want something." World Forger and Brainiac said together.

"I need all the power of Bat-Mite and the death of Batman Dragon."

Brainiac turned his head and looked at the Black Death Emperor: "And this alliance will be led by the Black Death Emperor. Deal?"

Barbatos looked at him quietly for a while.

"Deal."

...

...

...

The upper reaches of the super-time stream.

The Emperor Joker lay on the ground like a dead dog.

But the corners of his mouth raised a happy smile.
