Chapter 1075 Countdown to the Destruction of the DC Multiverse
"This place feels so familiar—"
When the World Builder appeared upstream in the Hypertime Stream, he saw on the distant horizon a colossal white wall of light that blotted out the sun and swallowed the entire world into dust.
This is the opening chapter of the major event Flashpoint reboot, a universe reboot called New 52.
Because he missed his mother so much, the Flash attempted to travel through time to change history and save her. However, when he returned from the past, he found that the main universe had become a post-apocalyptic world on the verge of destruction. Batman Bruce Wayne was dead, and in his place were Thomas Wayne, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman. None of them were the Flash he knew.
On the surface, Reverse-Flash was behind this, but in fact, it was Dr. Manhattan's first stop in the DC multiverse.
He stole 10 years of history from the main universe and used The Flash to trigger the Flashpoint event, thus beginning his long experiment across the entire DC multiverse, from the New 52 to the Rebirth era.
According to Lex Luthor's plan, as long as he creates a sufficiently large incremental destruction of Flashpoint, he can use shock therapy to erase all the history after New 52 from the hyperchronic stream. The World Maker knows that this is a risky move, and he also knows that it is essentially an amputation starting from the collarbone.
But the immense temptation made him want to give it a try. If his plan succeeded, the entire DC multiverse would absorb the power of the two transcendent beings, Perpetua and Dr. Manhattan, thus expanding to an unparalleled level of prosperity. At that time, he, the World Builder, would be the sole supreme god unifying this prosperous kingdom.
Dr. Manhattan is blue-skinned, his World Maker is blue-skinned, and everyone is blue-skinned, so why not give it a try?
Then he can reshape the entire multiverse according to his own will, creating a perfect world to deal with the checks of the Origin Hands. Once he gets past that hurdle, the rest will be a bright and smooth road ahead.
Of course, the world's forgers were not entirely reckless.
So at this moment, he was carrying Mandraklak.
Wait, upon closer inspection, it seems he's using something to bind Mandrak.
Good heavens. It was indeed a constraint, but I never expected it to be a person.
In a weakened state, the Monitor was directly forged into a rope by his own brother using the authority of the World Forger. His entire body was stretched into a snake, thin, long, and bony, like a blacksmith in a sword-forging competition who accidentally hammered an unquenched sword blank into a sheet of iron.
In his current state, one could only say that his head still barely resembles a human being.
There's nothing more luxurious than having a sixth-dimensional deity act as a rope.
Mandrakrak is a monster that the Watcher became after being corrupted by the blood of the Celestials of Perpetua. Although the Watcher has figured out a way to separate himself from Mandrakrak, this does not deny the fact that they both come from the same source.
Therefore, for the World Builder, the Watcher has become the best weapon to capture Mandrak's Lair, and he did so with the intention of using Mandrak's Lair as fuel for the [Miracle Machine: Luther Limited Edition], so that the thing wouldn't explode so violently.
So at this moment, just as the Flash and Thomas Wayne of Flashpoint had rescued Ribble Superman from the US military base—a man who had been used as an experimental subject since arriving on Earth—a blue-skinned giant suddenly appeared before them, slowly floating up and down in space.
Just then, Ribble Superman, released by the Flash and his crew, escaped from the US military base. After suffering for two or three decades on Earth, Superman looked up for the first time and saw the sun rise, bathing him in golden sunlight.
His thermal imaging device was activated instantly, and the heat swept across every car he saw. Bullets and attacks landed on him, but they were practically insignificant.
When the god on earth finally escaped the cage that imprisoned him, the one who would end him was the true god.
3, 2, 1.
The World Forger thought silently, then he lifted Mandraklach and tossed it over.
All of this was so deafening.
Chen Tao wasn't entirely unaware of what Luther and the World Forger were doing, but he no longer had the mind to care about what was going on there.
For Perpetua, the Void Hand, and Dr. Manhattan, the World Forger was a lower priority, and Dr. Manhattan had now almost completely devoured the history of Perpetua's resealing back onto the Origin Wall.
Chen Tao was almost powerless to stop it.
But this does not mean that Chen Tao has run out of options.
After adjusting his mindset, he had figured out how to stop Dr. Manhattan from devouring the DC multiverse even without the help of the two Earthlings, Superman and his brother.
In fact, Chen Tao already had a plan.
After deciding to take on the responsibility of being at the core of the DC multiverse, Chen Tao tried to draw strength from the superheroes he had influenced through the changes he had brought about.
In the Dark Night Death Metal comic, The Batman Who Laughs invited Superman Supreme, the Anti-Monitor, and Darkseid to join the fray and create three custom-made QQ Farms for them—no, I mean, custom-made Dark Multiverse instances.
Darkseid received a history of successfully ruling the DC multiverse after the Final Crisis, while the Anti-Monitor received a Dark Multiverse of him successfully devouring all the rebels and consuming the DC multiverse. Superman Supreme received a Dark Multiverse of him winning in Infinite Crisis and establishing a perfect world. These three Dark Multiverses continuously generate Crisis Energy, providing a constant source of power for the Batman Who Laughs.
Therefore, the Justice League had to split into several groups to destroy these three QQ Farms to prevent the endless laughter from replenishing its health.
What Chen Tao is about to do is to do the opposite.
The Bat Who Laughs created a universe where crisis failed, thus creating crisis energy. He wants to create an energy opposite to crisis energy, an anti-crisis force.
A force created by connecting everyone, the force of connection.
And the beginning of this plan was the Supreme Little One—
Chen Tao had just started thinking about the part about the Supreme Little Superman when his head began to buzz.
The deafening roar exploded in his ears, the shockwave from the upper reaches of the hypertime stream tearing apart the reality of the hypertime stream, creating numerous cracks that spread downwards.
Chen Tao remained silent.
This is the stage announcer's voice, the beginning of the climax, and the soft clicking of the spotlight.
This is the countdown to the destruction of the DC multiverse.
