Chapter 722 Bat Mom Beats Darkseid, Filial Son Halmin
Chapter 722 Bat Mom Beats Darkseid, Filial Son Halmin Steals Energy
His smooth, beautiful black hair emerged from behind the Batman hood, extending all the way to his slender waist and the mound of his chest—a sign of health, abundant milk, and maternal love.
His pale red lips, pouting on his buttocks, parted slightly, making the smacking sound that a mother often makes when playing with her baby. Even with only half his face showing, one could deeply feel the radiance of maternal love!
"what the……"
Then, in the main universe, Hal felt himself being picked up and swayed from side to side. Then he saw another baby beside him turn its head and say to him:
"Help me out, buddy, I'm counting on you now."
Even the most idiotic Hal in the main universe realized this was himself from a parallel universe. Then, looking at the expression on the other's face, he suddenly realized something.
"Wait, you knew this would happen after you came in? I thought it was just a simple battle of wills, but now—damn it, Darkseid created an illusion for you?"
"In a way, it's a projection of my own fears, but Darkseid exploited it," Hal said. "That's right. In fact, to prevent myself from being mind-controlled one day, I deliberately created this mental trap. However, this trap is slightly different from the one I created; at least I didn't turn myself into a baby originally."
Are you sure you're Hal Jordan from a parallel universe, and not Bruce Wayne, Batman from a parallel universe?
Hal from the main universe confirmed what the other party had said again: "Wait, you mean you actually created this place, but Darkseid took control of it?"
"We've seized some control. This was originally a game designed to be impossible to beat, but with my help, you'll definitely be able to complete it. Good luck!"
The main universe's Hal was mentally cursing incessantly. "Fuck you! I'm not going to create mental traps in my own head!"
He had only finished half of his rant when he felt himself being lifted up by the buttocks by a bat mother, and then the other woman started to expose her chest right in front of him.
?
What do you want to do?
Hal struggled desperately, and it was only with great difficulty that he managed to make the other party stop.
He was breathing heavily.
He had already realized it. The other party had deliberately lured him in, not only wanting to take advantage of his fight against Darkseid, but also probably intending to trap him here as well, since this was his super stronghold that he had been building for a long time.
This is unbelievable! Where did my parallel universe self learn all this from?!
"Alright, a burly man will be rushing in and beating up Mother Bat in a bit. What you need to do is..."
The parallel universe version of himself was still chattering in Hal's ear in the main universe, but what barged in wasn't a burly man, but Darkseid.
"It's about fighting... defeating a strong man? What the hell? How can a baby defeat Darkseid?"
He saw the slender bat mother rush up and fight with the other party, and around them, at some point, another group of strange babies appeared.
Darkseid grabbed the bat mother by the leg and lifted her up, and they cheered in unison. She used strange physical skills to avoid being thrown to the ground and slammed down, and the babies let out a collective sound of disappointment.
They seemed unaware of the danger they were in, comfortably trapped in the ingrained belief that the bat mother would inevitably win. They viewed the other side's battle as a spectacular performance rather than a life-or-death struggle.
Then the babies started wailing again, becoming incredibly eerie. As they cried, the bat mother was beaten more and more miserably until Darkseid grabbed her arm and pulled her away with all his might.
Then the babies began to rot and turn into dead bodies.
"How do we solve this game? Tell me quickly!" While dodging the aftershocks of the battle, Hal from the main universe pulled up Hal from the Alliance, who had also turned into a baby, and they fled together.
They ran so fast, using both hands and feet, that their underwear almost fell off.
"I...I don't know. My original plan was that the enemy would break in and face the bat mother and her strong sons, and then be utterly defeated."
So you really designed this bizarrely shaped bat mother? I thought it was Darkseid who twisted your mind and created this trap.
Hal from the main universe was speechless. He forced himself to calm down and tried to unleash his willpower to alter the scene before him, but he ultimately realized...
"These are your memories, your thought processes. I can't interfere," he said. "Only you, only you."
They ran out the door, and then they both found themselves back in adult form, their two identical faces staring at each other.
They were transported to a completely new scene.
"It was...the battlefield that day."
Hal in the main universe doesn't understand.
"What battlefield?"
He looked around. He was in a place that seemed safe, an empty room with a lot of crystal coffins or some kind of equipment that he couldn't understand.
The equipment was connected by several huge pipes, and in the coffin next to it lay two half-dead men.
Gorilla Grodd and Turtle Man.
"The Speed Force Distributor," Hal from the main universe heard Hal from the Alliance say. "It's used to help Batman share the pressure, making it easier for him to fight Darkseid."
In the main universe, HAL saw a familiar figure: "Bane?"
He strode towards the other person: "I don't really understand. If I were to design this kind of mental trap... I would never design one, but if I really did."
He walked up to Bain.
"The more something has impressed me deeply, the more powerful it becomes when it's designed as a mental trap."
He turned his head and looked at Hal of the Alliance.
"What does this scene mean to you? Why is he so deeply etched in your memory, even more so than Carol, your mother, or your father?"
He said in a low voice, "Fear and choice. In this scenario, what terrifies you? And what is the choice you're constantly considering?"
The other person didn't speak. Hal from the main universe walked over and grabbed him by the collar: "Hurry, this is important!"
Then, the next moment, he felt that his body was out of his control.
Not far away, a door suddenly opened, and Bane spoke in a robotic voice:
"Please get everyone into position. This is all part of Batman's plan. Don't worry."
"Please don't worry... don't worry... don't worry..."
Then the entire Justice League opened the door in a stiff posture and walked into the room. One by one, they opened the crystal coffins and jumped inside.
He turned to look at Hal.
"you……"
"Batman manipulated my brain at the time. He controlled me so that I wouldn't question his plans, and even went so far as to apologize to me afterward."
He heard Alliance Hal say, "So when I designed this level, the enemies would become uncontrollable, lying in the crystal coffin, only to have their spiritual power drained!"
His body was almost about to move, but Hal from the main universe hugged him from behind, forcing him to stay in place.
The scene was completely silent, except for the echoing of Bain's "Reassurance".
Then came the sound of the crystal coffin opening. The Justice League members climbed out of the coffin, their heads tilted 365 degrees, and all turned to look at the two of them.
Why aren't you coming in yet?
In an instant, Hal from the main universe saw that tiny threads were emerging from their bodies. The two of them followed the threads and looked up, only to find that the ceiling had disappeared at some point, and a giant bat mother was on top, manipulating each member of the Justice League with threads.
She swayed her chest, as if beckoning her beloved son to return and suckle her sweet, righteous milk.
Those threads felt like some kind of terrible control, but more like love, a mother's love.
If someone arranges everything for you, protects your world, and does what you were supposed to do, it renders your life and value meaningless.
So how should we address him?
Darkseid's phantom appeared on the horizon, but this could not stop Batman's victory.
The enormous bat mother opened her mouth and roared, and countless golden energies flowed from the crystal coffins that had already fallen down, pouring into the bat mother's body. With each roar, her body swelled a little larger, until it stood tall and imposing, making the entire room look like a small box.
The puppet strings transferred from his fingers into his body. Bat Mother raised her foot and kicked the Darkseid phantom in the sky with her high heel. The heel sank into Darkseid's obsidian-like face. Then she grabbed a planet from a short distance away and slammed it onto Darkseid's equally enormous face.
"Power...power!"
The children heard the bat mother's voice: "My dears, I need your help. Only with your help can I defeat him!"
"Please both of you get into the energy pod immediately to help relieve the pressure; Batman's strength is insufficient." Hal heard Bane say this beside him. "Batman is already working hard; can you please stop causing him trouble?"
"Listen to me, he needs power, you know? He needs power!!!"
The next moment, both Hales felt their rings begin to writhe as if they were alive. Countless tiny tentacles sprouted from the rings, extending infinitely as if they were alive, and then actively burrowed into Batman's forehead. The inside of the tentacles was hollow, and at this moment, they were continuously supplying energy at an alarming speed, so much so that they stretched the tubes open, forming swollen sacs.
Then they saw Batman's mother lower her head.
She gave a sinister grin, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.
"This must hurt a lot, because I need a weak person, someone I can control, someone forgotten by the whole world, so I found you! Your power will be used by me, making you a puppet to be manipulated! And this moment is the first step in taming you, completely destroying your free will with drugs, so that you are no longer yourself!"
The mother bat let out a maniacal laugh, and countless threads sprouted from her body, sweeping towards the two Hales.
"Don't resist, accept it all. Being under my control is far more valuable than being free to act. Do you know just how many terrifying things exist in this world?"
"Don't believe those things, they are projections of your inner fears." The main universe Hal grabbed the Alliance Hal, who was almost stunned in place, and fled.
"How dare you run away? How could you have the nerve to run away? Do you know how much I paid to protect you and this universe?"
"How dare you be so shameless as to accept all the gifts I've given you without a second thought?"
"So what was your original design?" Hal from the main universe asked.
"The ones who should be hunted down are the enemies, not us, and Batman doesn't control puppets; he controls the enemies along with them."
"It's Batman again, I'm speechless." Hal from the main universe said, "Next time I see Bruce, I'm going to punch that arrogant face of his."
At this point, the green lantern rings on both of them had begun to rebel completely. They tried to control the rings and stop supplying energy to Batman, but to no avail. Main universe Hal and Avenger Hal were forced to find a way to get rid of their own rings first.
"If only I had a knife..." Alliance Hal gritted his teeth.
"We have them now." The next moment, he saw Hal from the main universe pull two knives out of his back and hand them to him.
"How did you..." he asked in astonishment.
"Idiot, this isn't reality, it's your mind space! Willpower is strongest here!"
The main universe's Hal said, "You're completely trapped in a mind trap of your own making. It's like tying yourself up and then tripping over it—how can anyone be so stupid?"
Alliance Hal suddenly realized.
"Yes, you're absolutely right."
He said, "But none of this is something to be afraid of."
In an instant, the puppet strings that had been binding them collapsed into nothingness. Hal from the Alliance grabbed himself from the main universe, and a portal of light opened in front of him, changing the scene once again.
He found himself in Lex Luthor's laboratory.
Alliance Hal has now stood before the main universe Hal; he is no longer under Hal's protection, but has become the protector.
"I have decided to accept Darkseid's power," he said to Luthor.
"No."
He heard Luther's refusal; the bald man had his back to him.
"You don't have the willpower to bear this power. This power will make you lose control. You've seen the records of that parallax demon Hal, right? The Hal Jordan who almost completely destroyed the universe, your main universe version."
Behind the Alliance Hal, the Main Universe Hal clenched his fist.
"No, but none of this is true."
Then he heard himself speak beside him.
"Give me Darkseid's power," he said. "Give it to me now!"
