Chapter 467 On How to Make a Madman
When Chen Tao woke up, he saw that the world was peaceful.
He first looked at the time on the wall and found that he had only gone back about 10 days.
So Chen Tao took a deep breath.
He didn't call out to anyone or say anything to anyone else. Instead, he sat down in his seat and pressed a button under the chair.
Within seconds, the chair underwent a mechanical transformation and completed its verification with the metallic spirit within Batman's body.
"Verified, Batman. Welcome back to the Hall of Justice."
Chen Tao remotely controlled the screen in the Justice League lobby, which displayed a monitor feed to be selected.
The portraits of several key members of the Justice League appeared on the screen. With a thought, Chen Tao could open one of the portraits and then monitor their actions in real time through the observation camera closest to that Justice League member.
All it takes is a few taps on your finger.
But he didn't do that.
He was a little scared.
He feared that when he turned on the screen, he wouldn't see the Justice League members, who were still unharmed.
They had been bound by the Anti-Monitor's Anti-Life Equation, and Chen Tao was unsure whether he had managed to keep his teammates in the universe while expelling the Anti-Monitor from his own.
Yes, the Time Reboot plan has many unverified aspects. It differs from most of Chen Tao's other plans, and it is not as complete.
From the very beginning, restarting time was just Chen Tao's last delaying tactic, a plan b within a plan b.
Because the Speed Force is so small, Chen Tao has very few experiments to conduct. When facing the Anti-Monitor, he has to reserve his precious few experimental opportunities for more important assets such as Black Death Emperor, Superman Supreme, and Anton Arkansas.
Therefore, all of this lacks data support for Chen Tao.
Although he had long prepared himself to bravely continue fighting even alone, for him...
It all seems a bit too cruel.
Chen Tao took two deep breaths.
He barely had the courage to manipulate the screen to access those surveillance views.
He then transferred control of the computer to the bat computer:
"Batcomputer, open Clark Kent's surveillance view."
no response.
"..."
"Hey, Bat Computer!" Chen Tao said.
After using the correct wake word, Chen Tao saw through the gaps in his fingers covering his eyes that Clark Kent was having afternoon tea with his wife Louise without any problems.
In their memory, there were still at least 10 days before the Anti-Monitor invaded Chen Tao's world, and Batman was already fully armed.
The entire Justice League, the people of Atlantis, and the people of Paradise Island were all eager to get started. The sun was shining brightly, and the future was full of hope.
They never considered what they would be facing.
Chen Tao breathed a slight sigh of relief; thankfully, he still had time.
Wonder Woman.
Unharmed.
Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter.
Unharmed.
After confirming that the Justice League was unharmed, Chen Tao finally suppressed his weakness, closed the monitoring interface, sat down in his seat, and slowly considered his next plan.
First, he needs to convince Superman the Primal to help him.
As Chen Tao was thinking this, the image on the screen in front of him showed a large headshot of the Supreme Little Superman.
In the previous battle against the Anti-Monitor, he was thinking about how to restrain the beast that was Superman Supreme, and then use Blood Bull or Parallax to drive Superman Supreme insane again, and then replicate the battle in which Superman Supreme suppressed Darkseid.
However, it is clear that this Batman-style strategy was utterly defeated by the Anti-Monitor's understanding of the Origin Wall and its own formidable power.
Therefore, Chen Tao cannot allow the Anti-Monitors to have another chance to stuff Superman Supreme back into the Origin Wall. To do this, he not only has to remove Superman Supreme from the wall before the battle begins, but he also has to use the Yellow Sunlight to strengthen him enough to beat the Anti-Monitors.
But now the question is, how can he convince Superman the Supreme?
Chen Tao knew very well that regardless of whether the Supreme Superman in his universe was the one he knew, he was evil and ruthless enough.
Just like Obito Uchiha from the manga he read in his previous life, this guy doesn't believe that the world he lives in now is a normal world, but a world destined to be erased. In his eyes, everyone in this world is an NPC. Normal logical reasoning and persuasion are completely ineffective against this madman.
This is why Chen Tao never considered letting a sane Superman come down from the wall the moment he saw him.
Reality isn't an idol drama. Does he think that by dressing up as a maid and a succubus, he can inexplicably charm Superman, make him abandon all his years of perseverance, pain, and anger, and directly evolve from Superman into Robin, then tirelessly help him fight against the Anti-Monitor?
Chen Tao shook his head, sweeping the bizarre ideas that popped into his head into the trash heap.
If he could really do that, then he wouldn't be Batman, he would be God.
No matter how powerful the magic, it is impossible to forcibly change a person's personality. Trying to make someone like Superman, a monster with such monstrous thinking and logic, obey is simply an impossible task.
But then again, he definitely has the ability to confront the Anti-Monitor head-on. Even if he doesn't, Chen Tao can use other forces to join the fight and make up for the power gap between the Supreme Superman and the Anti-Monitor—if that gap even exists.
Therefore, Chen Tao would never give up using Supreme Little Superman.
As Chen Tao thought this through, the image of Superman on the Bat PC was also moved into the to-do list.
Next, he must continue to integrate the allies and forces he had not integrated before, such as the powers of Super Queen and Night Owl.
He had rejected Night Owl's plan because Night Owl didn't consider the people on his planet as living beings, but rather as consumables and weapons.
Not to mention how many people would die if they turned into wild beasts and attacked each other, those wild beasts don't even have the awareness that they can only share a portion of the power. If Chen Tao really uses them as tamers, who knows how many more people will be killed.
As for the people who had turned into beasts, Chen Tao could use his ability to restart the timeline to save them. However, as Night Owl said, the power of a single universe is limited. If the power of restarting the timeline is consumed on them in large quantities, the effort and the reward will be disproportionate.
The owl doesn't need to consider whether it's proportional or not, right? Because the owl never even considered saving anyone.
But Chen Tao had considered this. If the idea of saving people was taken into account, it immediately became a losing proposition.
And more importantly...
This is not a heroic act.
Unless there is a way to keep everyone rational without any repercussions, Chen Tao would never consider using the Night Owl method to enhance everyone in the world.
Once the bottom line is crossed, completely manipulating the free will of innocent people is tantamount to committing evil without any scruples, which is simply beckoning Barbatos.
Chen Tao recalled the information he had stolen from the anti-surveillance agent's brain:
He stole only one piece of information, and its content was very simple:
The Anti-Monitors have the ability to break down the barriers between the Light Multiverse and the Dark Multiverse, creating a passage, much like making a hole between two rooms separated by earthen walls.
Theoretically speaking, if an external force that the anti-monitor cannot resist forces him into this passage, it is possible to force the anti-monitor into the Light Multiverse.
But that's only in theory.
For Chen Tao, this information undoubtedly gave him some ideas. He had long realized that in the Dark Multiverse, he was like a rope, one end held by the Anti-Monitor and the other by Barbatos. To break this situation, he had to move the battlefield of the final battle outside the Dark Multiverse.
But how can this be accomplished?
Moreover, this raises a very important question: even if Chen Tao leaves the Dark Multiverse and gets rid of Barbatos's influence, he will most likely still be unable to defeat the Anti-Monitor.
While Barbatos's gaze was dangerous for Chen Tao, it had a certain weakening effect on the counter-surveillance agents.
Once Barbatos is unable to interfere with them, the Anti-Monitors will only become more terrifying. If the trump cards he prepared earlier cannot suppress the Anti-Monitors, and after bringing the Anti-Monitors to the Light Multiverse, it will be even more difficult to win.
Chen Tao thought to himself.
He had never been so conflicted before. In the past, he had seen through every scheme he had orchestrated, but this was different...
Just like playing cards, ultimately, as Night Owl said, there is simply too little power available in a single universe.
But as Chen Tao thought about it, he was also pondering Night Owl's plan.
In fact, his overall idea was correct. It was just a simple idea of everyone being a soldier, but due to limitations, Night Owl had to change it to everyone being a consumable.
If there is a way to maintain the free will of the people, enabling them to proactively sever their connection with Chen Tao when they are unable to provide enough power;
It would also strengthen their power, enabling them to withstand more power for themselves, effectively eliminating the negative effects of the Night Owl Plan, which would be perfect.
Chen Tao suddenly thought of something, and soon after, he appeared in front of Tian Shi.
……
……
……
Since being captured by Batman, Eclipse has once again been imprisoned in the Heart of Darkness, never to see the light of day again.
He is a powerful magical creature capable of arousing the evil and wicked thoughts in people's hearts, and then completely controlling the creatures under his control.
For thousands of years, anyone who has become attached to his power has ultimately been controlled by him, without exception.
Even Amanda Waller, who had previously been wary of him, was taken control of by Eclipse, which led to the chaos that ensued.
But once it came into Batman's hands, Eclipse waited and waited, but Batman never paid him any attention.
It was as if the other party had completely forgotten about him. Forget about using his power to resurrect Eclipse; even the room where the Dark Star was stored was turned into a tomb by Batman.
He almost thought he wouldn't see the world again for hundreds of years until Batman was completely dead...
However, today, Eclipse was pleased to see Batman bring Bane to the room where the Dark Star is kept.
"I can..."
Before Eclipse could even introduce himself, he heard Batman eagerly say, "You can grant people power."
"Uh, that's true..." Eclipse. Sensing something was amiss, but unable to pinpoint exactly what the problem was, he continued, "I can still..."
"Stop talking nonsense and give us your power now."
But Batman interrupted him again.
Before Eclipse could even vent his dissatisfaction, Batman, as if in a great hurry, immediately took the Heart of Darkness into his hands.
The portal opened with a sonic boom, and they were instantly transported to the room where the gorilla Grud and the turtle man were.
"Infuse him with your power." Eclipse heard Batman give him that direct order:
"Fill it up quickly!"
Eclipse had never heard such a strange request in his life. Everyone was always wary of him and kept a close watch on him, afraid that his power would corrupt others. How could Batman be so stupid this time?
But Eclipse would never let this good opportunity slip by. Without saying a word, he began to pour his power into the turtle-man.
Once he controls the turtle-man, his will can escape through that body, and the Heart of Darkness will no longer be able to control him. He...
However, the next moment, Eclipse saw Batman pull out something that looked like a heart.
That's...
"Aa ...
Hearing the screams, like those of someone having an epileptic seizure, coming from the Heart of Darkness, Chen Tao expressionlessly stuffed the gem back into the box.
The heart of the Anti-Monitor is filled with the evil dark power of Barbatos. You, Eclipse, are trying to steal believers from Barbatos. How can you possibly win?
"In two minutes, we will begin simulating the Blood Cult Master's original plan to infuse the power of the Crimson of All Beings."
Bain stood to the side, speaking expressionlessly.
"Um."
Chen Tao said.
Pink spots began to light up on his forehead, which was his state when he transformed into Lenias.
He will replace Starro the Great to provide telepathic assistance to the Turtle Man.
Everything is ready.
As the Turtle Man asked, "Who is that monster in the crystal? What do you want to do?" Bane and Batman, without saying a word, directly poured a huge amount of messy power into his body.
"Let me think about the solution... Use the Anti-Monitor's heart to suppress the Eclipse's strong control ability, then use the Eclipse's control over the host to suppress the berserk rage of the Crimson One after its transformation, use the berserk rage to enhance personal power, and finally use powerful telepathic abilities to separate these emotions and create an independent alternate personality..."
As Chen Tao continued to torment him, the turtle-man's face gradually changed from pale to rosy, and then back to pale.
After much effort, Chen Tao finally saw a fleshy lump on the turtle-man's shoulder, and then a real turtle head grew out from the lump.
The turtle-man stared at the turtle head growing from his shoulder, his face turning ashen: "What the hell is this thing???"
The turtle head didn't speak. Chen Tao used his telepathic abilities to further clarify the two personalities, and finally, the turtle head raised its head. Its first words were:
"Quack! I'm so strong! I'm really strong!"
