Chapter 692 Lord Barbatos is meant to be exploited.
With a thud, William Hand jumped up and then fell to the ground, his heart pounding.
Although he is currently in the state of a Black Lantern Corpse abandoned by the Black Death Emperor, he does not actually have a beating heart.
Upon seeing his mentor, Batman, jump up as well, William realized he had jumped too early. He had been tricked and exposed, so he continued to lie there, feigning death, hoping everyone would ignore him, the weak, pitiful, and innocent hostage.
As for what to do if I get caught? Well... I'll just keep pretending for now.
With a thud, the Time Trapped, who was disguised as the first Lantern Man, also fell to the ground. When he saw Batman and Barbatos jump up together, he realized that he had been exposed at some point, but he was not sure if it was just the other party's stress response.
So he fell, and then, while Barbatos and Batman Dragon seemed to be stunned for a moment, he sprang up from the ground like a spring.
Chen Tao glanced at the first Lantern Knight attacking Barbatos out of the corner of his eye.
Even in his current state, the Time Trapped still retains the appearance of the original Lantern Man with his countless seven-colored veins and transparent body, instead of his original cloaked and hooded appearance.
Even with his status as the Dark Multiverse Dragon, he couldn't see through the disguise created by the Anti-Monitor Dragon and the Emperor Joker's fifth-dimensional power for the Time Trapped, so he still believed that the other party was the first Lantern.
Although he couldn't understand why the first Lantern Knight had suddenly been turned against him, or why the other party hadn't used his signature emotional spectrum ability, Chen Tao still planned to attack the "first Lantern Knight" from behind.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at William Hand, who was struggling and collapsing to the ground. His acting was incredibly realistic, with his mouth slightly pursed under his mask, making it impossible to discern his meaning.
His plan does not currently include weakening Barbatos. Surrounded by wolves, Barbatos, this fierce tiger, is now Chen Tao's only reliance.
Although he had taken precautions to prevent the tiger from biting him, as a being that had traveled through time, Barbatos was temporarily in the same boat as Chen Tao.
He might try to wear down Barbatos, but he would never try to completely destroy him. Whether he could do it or not is another matter. Even if he became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Barbatos, it would definitely not do him any good.
William Hand remained in a dead-man's posture, watching Batman go to rescue Barbatos, silently pondering in his heart.
Because of Chen Tao's action, William suddenly realized a fact:
Actually... his plans and Batman's plans conflicted slightly regarding Barbatos's situation.
Batman doesn't seem to have any intention of trying to control Barbatos at all... well, Batman certainly can't.
But that doesn't mean I can't try.
William mentally went over the details of his plan repeatedly, deciding to act depending on the circumstances.
So now the situation on the field is clear. The Trapped One also noticed the Batman Dragon coming from behind. He gritted his teeth and, instead of trying to dodge, put all his strength into throwing a punch at Barbatos.
Even if he can't defeat Superman, he is still Superman!
His steel body could help him withstand Batman Dragon's attacks; even the power of a fifth-dimensional being could not distort this powerful body. Neither Barbatos nor Batman Dragon knew that the anti-monitor antimatter energy he possessed could penetrate Barbatos's body, not to mention that he was disguised as the first Lantern.
So that earth-shattering blow was swung directly toward Barbatos, and Chen Tao's attack with his giant claws, carrying the energy of the Dark Father's Omega Judgment and a large area of heat vision, was about to strike the back of the Trapped One.
However, at that moment, Parallax Mohal suddenly jumped up from the ground, which startled Chen Tao.
While everyone else jumped up, only Parallax Mohal remained lying on the ground like a dead dog, the smaller being clutching its chest like a corpse.
But now that everyone has chosen their targets, he suddenly bursts into action!
This sudden action was completely outside of Chen Tao's plan. He reacted immediately, turning his gun around and throwing all the attacks that were originally intended for the Time Trapped onto Parallax Mohal. Only the long-range attacks, such as the Omega Ray and Thermal Vision, that had already been fired still struck the Time Trapped in the back.
In the instant the attack was launched, hundreds of thoughts flashed through Chen Tao's mind.
How can Hal move? Who is controlling him? Does the Emperor Joker have a backup plan? Is the Anti-Monitor Dragon planning to use him to launch a counterattack?
A barrage of questions instantly overwhelmed Chen Tao's mind, and Parallax Demon Hal and Barbatos, under heavy attack, let out a scream.
Barbatos initially thought Batman would deflect the attack for him from behind, and he wasn't too alarmed when he discovered that Batman had attacked Parallax Morhal midway through the attack.
He manipulated the dark matter cosmic energy to create a shield, then turned to the side to dodge the attack that had already been detected. However, the antimatter energy in the palm of the Time Piercer erupted, tearing through his dark matter shield in an instant. Even the purple lightning that it emitted was smashed apart by the fist.
When Barbatos realized that the fist was not the fist of Genie A.R., but the fist of Superman Superman, a huge wind pressure and white light had already bloomed on the fist.
Chen Tao paused slightly, but at that moment the ranged attacks he had launched against the Time Trapped also arrived.
The Time Trapped was momentarily stunned by the Omega Ray enhanced by Chen Tao's fifth-dimensional divine power. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Barbatos roared and swung his tail, striking the Time Trapped. He emitted a burst of light, repelling the Time Trapped.
At that moment, Chen Tao pounced like a giant eagle, straddling Parallax Mohal, grabbing his neck and slamming him to the ground:
"you……"
But what he received was not Parallax Mohal's storm of counterattacks, but rather a series of gasps like broken gongs.
Chen Tao was stunned again by him.
He grabbed Parallax Mohal by the neck: "Why did you jump up?"
Parallax Mohal said, "I saw you all jump up, so I mustered my last bit of strength and jumped up too."
Chen Tao slapped his forehead.
"Quick...get off me! Why did you use so much force with that claw attack? All my strength was used by the Emperor Joker to assemble the explosives of a bomb. I had no strength to resist you...I feel like my ribs are broken."
Chen Tao tossed Parallax Mohal aside like trash.
Why? Why would someone jump up and jump up too when they see someone else jumping up?
Where's your brain? Did a dog eat it?
Chen Tao simply didn't want to say a single word to Parallax Mohal.
He lunged forward to try and stop the Time Trapper, but he soon saw the Time Trapper reveal a sinister smile, then suddenly fall backward and disappear behind a portal.
Chen Tao's body grew enormous, and he grabbed Barbatos to support him. Then, the two of them shrank together.
"How are you?"
He asked.
Barbatos shook off his hand and replied in a normal voice, "It's nothing, his sneak attack failed."
But Chen Tao heard Barbatos's whispers in his ear. These whispers were not just soft words, but the ability of a sixth-dimensional deity to influence others. For example, the mother of the multiverse, Papetua, had manipulated crises in the main universe many times in an attempt to shake her seal on the Origin Wall. Barbatos, who was infinitely close to a sixth-dimensional deity, could also use this ability.
He was forced to use this ability to communicate with Chen Tao, so the situation did indeed look extremely critical.
"My situation is terrible. This is retaliation from anti-surveillance activists. I'm badly hurt."
Chen Tao glanced at the other person.
Barbatos's words cannot be entirely trusted; only Barbatos himself knows whether he was injured or how badly he was injured.
Upon hearing Barbatos's tearful account, Chen Tao's first reaction was naturally to suspect that Barbatos was lying to him in an attempt to use his injury to gain an advantage in their cooperative relationship and ultimately achieve his own goal—he had not forgotten that Barbatos had always wanted to turn him into the Barbatos Dragon, completely under his control.
Ok.
Of course, what else could they do but be completely loyal and open with Barbatos?
Don't make me laugh.
Chen Tao ignored Barbatos's words and asked in a low voice, "Can you still help me weave destiny and complete the dismantling surgery of the Spirit of Existence?"
With a swift movement, he grabbed Parallax Mohal by the scruff of his neck and threw the dog-like figure down in front of Barbatos with a thud.
"I need to catch my breath, my strength has been... "
"There's simply no time for that, Barbatos. Can you just hold on a little longer? Otherwise, there was no point in you pretending you weren't injured earlier."
Chen Tao knew that Barbatos must have cursed himself over and over in his mind, but that wasn't the point. The point was that Barbatos had agreed. Whether Barbatos was really injured or faking it was irrelevant.
Even if the multiverse's mother, Papetua, jumped down from the Origin Wall and beat Barbatos up, and Dr. Manhattan put all his strength into beating you, Barbatos would still have to stand up and work for me!
"Quickly, get started," Chen Tao urged Barbatos. "Weave together destiny..."
……
……
……
When the portal suddenly opened, the Trapped One flew out from behind it and landed on the ground. It silently stood up, took a couple of deep breaths, and then fell silent again, hovering in front of the giant Anti-Monitor Dragon.
At this moment, Brainiac hovered to the left of the Anti-Monitor Dragon, while the Black Death Emperor, holding his scythe, waited to the right.
The Time Trapped One reached out to the Anti-Monitor Dragon, and in his palm, a small lump of Barbatos' dark matter cosmic energy floated.
"Very good, well done..."
The anti-monitor dragon nodded in satisfaction. He took the small lump of dark matter cosmic energy, swallowed it whole, and savored it.
In an instant, a sinister smile appeared on his face:
"It's you, it really is you, my elder brother. I always felt that you wouldn't just disappear without a trace so easily."
When Barbatos was lured away from the World Forge, the World Forger entered it and tampered with his own corpse.
This "poisonous feast" entered Barbatos's body after his return, through his daily meals. Due to Barbatos's repeated checks and habitual behavior over a long period of time, Barbatos did not discover the trickery of his former master, nor did he realize that he had already returned.
However, all of this... is now being observed by the Anti-Monitor Dragon.
Upstream in the timeline, the original form of the Anti-Monitor from the Crisis on Infinite Earths era suddenly opened its eyes on Quad. It opened its terrifying maw, and white light from its eyes shot out from the Anti-Life Equation.
His cunning and shrewd elder brother, Alphaus the World Maker, finally revealed a slight flaw in his plan.
Aside from the Hypertime Stream itself, who is the greatest enemy of the Anti-Monitors who returned from the Hypertime Stream?
Batman: The Dragon? Barbatos?
Yes, but not entirely.
However, in addition to these guardians of the current timeline who are beyond the current timeline, two other sixth-dimensional gods are also the main force in stopping their brothers.
Both the Watchers and the World Forgers are so in sync that they will not allow the Anti-Watchers to destroy the entire Hypertime Stream.
His gaze turned to the depths of the boundless void. His old adversary, the Monitor, whom he hated deeply, did not seem to have reached downstream to make a move against him yet, so the Anti-Monitor would put it aside for the time being.
The most important thing now is the World Maker. The cards he holds in the lower reaches of the hypertime stream are far more powerful than the combined strength of the Monitor and Anti-Monitor brothers.
But now counter-surveillance agents have found a way to bypass it.
"I really want to see your shocked face..." the Anti-Monitor thought silently. Whether the Time Trapped's attack harmed Barbatos was no longer important.
The Anti-Monitor manipulates the Time Trapped to attack Barbatos, and even the Time Trapped themselves are unaware of the reason behind it.
The World Maker ultimately made a mistake. Now the Anti-Monitor has obtained evidence, crucial evidence, that allows him to prove to Barbatos at any time that his body is still being manipulated by the World Maker.
Barbatos, who murdered his master, controlled the dark multiverse, suppressed the current timeline, and was invincible and required everyone to join forces to fight against, never actually escaped his master's grasp from the very beginning.
This truth would break Barbatos, drive him mad, and once he knew it… my brother, the renowned World Forger Alphaus, you wouldn’t—
Did you think you could control your former beloved dog?
