Chapter 800 Why bother trying to recover something that has already vanished into thin air?
Chapter 800 Why bother trying to restore an era that has long since vanished?
It's here, it's finally here.
The old man, Huo Rong, witnessed all of this.
He was the one who was most deeply hidden among this group.
He knew many things, such as that Superman Supreme was actually secretly cooperating with the World Maker. After all, the World Maker's Infant Multiverse, which aimed to create a perfect new world, seemed far superior to the universe before him.
If the previous Superman Supreme was just a pure brute, after absorbing the dark and evil history of the Time Trapped, Superman Supreme has started to use his brain a little bit... just a little bit, and only when his fists can't solve the problem.
The World Founder and Superman Supreme reached a deal, and he even made a deal with the Monitor behind his brother, the Anti-Monitor, back.
The Bat Who Laughs has now escaped and is considered by everyone to be out of the game... but that's not true.
Heroes' Day is actually entirely controlled by the World Forgers, who are waiting to deliver a fatal blow to Batman at a crucial moment.
The World Forger has never appeared before Batman Dragon, but he has already woven an invisible net that encompasses the entire situation.
Batman: The Dragon, Anti-Monitor...
The first Lantern has failed countless times in the plans of the World Founders.
Even now, when he closes his eyes, the elderly Huo Rong can still recall that figure wielding a huge hammer, and besides the hammer he was swinging, his indifferent blue eyes.
As a sixth-dimensional deity and the master of Barbatos, the World Forger had prepared for many years to create his new world; he was powerful and well-prepared.
Even Shadow Calamity himself knew very well that it would be unreasonable for him to be able to negate this preparation simply by restarting history a few times.
With trillions of years of preparation, why should we lose to you a few restarts of time?
But the calamity did not restart the time "several times".
He's played this dungeon so much that he's almost used up all his lifespan.
As a user of the emotional spectrum, his lifespan was almost nonexistent. Even by brute force, he had already figured out the World Forger's trump card.
He had already reached a conclusion many times before the restart:
In this era of multicultural integration, the world's builders have already established their dominance, making it impossible to resolve the issue at that point in time.
The only chance to acquire a large amount of crisis energy before the time of multi-dimensional integration in order to carry out the Earth 15 Plan is now.
This is his last and only chance. Even if he fails this time, he must come back here again next time to have any chance of success.
He has tried many times, and this time he will surely succeed, because the World Maker has no other trump cards left. He has figured out the World Maker completely.
The development of events must follow objective laws. The first Lantern Man has already exhausted all possibilities of how he caused a butterfly effect, giving the World Founders another trump card. Now, the World Founders cannot possibly have any new abilities that he does not know.
It's not available at least at this point in time.
Ok?
As the old man was pondering, he saw the Supreme Superman appear before him.
Oh, that's something he experienced during a previous time reboot.
Just now, Batman Dragon asked him about the identity of the first Lantern, and he told him the truth.
At this very moment, Superman also lost interest in continuing to beat up the evil-minded and powerful.
When he looks toward Old Man Huo Rong, if Huo Rong makes eye contact with him, he will come and talk to Huo Rong; if he doesn't make eye contact, then Superman the Supreme will approach Heroes Day.
For the elderly Huo Rong, most of the time they encounter now is like the twentieth or thirtieth playthrough of a game. He has exhausted almost all the variations, and there will be no new things that he does not know about.
"Why...?"
The old man heard the voice of the Supreme Superman.
He murmured as if in a dream.
The old man knew what was going on.
The monkey created by Batman permanently affected Superman Supreme's mental state, neutralizing the evil of the Time Trapped and the evil side of Superman Supreme himself.
Those two personalities melted away in the main personality of the Supreme Superman, and while they disappeared irreversibly, the Supreme Superman's id consciousness would sometimes enter a superego-like, God-like perspective.
Okay, to put it simply, it's the onset of the illness.
"Why are we so obsessed with restoring a period in history, an era that has long since vanished?"
"In your long life... in your long life, the time spent with family is only a tiny, tiny fraction."
Superman the Younger said, "You want to restore your hometown, right? Batman Dragon told me you're the first Genie... So, answer me."
"You are the master of the emotional spectrum, the first person to use spectral energy..."
The Supreme Little Superman was interrupted by the Old Man Calamity halfway through his sentence: "The second one, the first one is my mother."
The mistake was intolerable; even after returning so many times, the elderly Rong never had the option of not interrupting the other person. He always believed that the emotional spectrum was something his mother studied, not his.
"The first person to weaponize spectral energy, a founder of the Green Lantern Corps in a sense, and an indispensable pillar of the hyperchronic flow."
"Having achieved so much, why are you still so determined to restore that era that has long since vanished?"
"History has changed, the era has ended, so why didn't he accept the changes of time and the shifts in history? Instead, like a madman, he didn't hesitate to commit so much bloodshed in order to bring back a history that can never be recovered?"
Old age brings misfortune and trouble.
"Was it all really worth it?" x2
In their hearts, the old man and the mouths of the Supreme Superman spoke the last sentence together.
Neither the Supreme Superman nor the Old Man Calamity spoke after that.
Whether it's worth it or not, only they themselves can probably answer that question.
This is not something that can be spoken aloud.
but……
This is all what I deserve.
I mean, I tried so hard...
I've given so much, endured countless pains, and gone through countless cycles of suffering. My youth and years have faded away, and I deserve my reward.
is not it?
I deserve a good outcome. I just want my mother back. I... I will win.
But the old scourge was unaware that, at this time, Hero Day, with the help of the Endless Family Sleep Demon, had gained some control over the corpse of the World Forger.
This is not a new trump card for the world's creators, but rather a change brought about by an ever-changing history. This change originates from fate, from the unpredictable reality of the world, and this change...
It will never end.
But! Even so.
We must try again, one last gamble.
Because this is the only means for mortals, manipulated by fate, to fight against this painful world.
Like an aged dragon collapsing at the pinnacle of life...
one more time.
Take flight!
But now, he also has to help Batman Dragon and the World Makers reach a communication and deal.
Not far away, the evil noble let out a final wail, then turned into a pool of black pus in the palm of Barbatos, which was controlled by the anti-monitor, and was then stuffed into Barbatos' mouth and chewed up.
To be honest, even if one were to swallow this stuff, one wouldn't dare to integrate its energy. The power of the malevolent nobles originates directly from the Void Hand, whether it's Barbatos or the one controlling him. The Anti-Monitors are well aware of what the Ripple signifies.
After murdering his master, the World Maker, Barbatos once completely shrouded himself in a black robe, with only his enormous wings on his back revealing his identity.
Overall, however, Barbatos steered his temperament toward humanity.
But now, under the control of the anti-monitors, Barbatos seems to have reverted to a dog, to a puppet, to his ugliest form.
The cruelest thing you can do to a dog is to help it stand up, to make it believe it's a person, and then one day take all of that away and tell it:
Even if you are as strong as a tiger, the master is always the master. Even the master's brother can pull the leash around your neck at any time and leave you powerless to resist, as if the power that makes you mistakenly believe that you are a lion or a tiger does not exist at all.
Then he forces you to be bound by reins, to become a mere tool for his use, no longer a human being.
Chen Tao was only slightly moved, but then immediately pretended not to see it and walked past Lord Barbatos indifferently. Now was not the best time to save him.
Moreover, just as the World Forgers were never truly defeated by Barbatos, there was never any real friendship between Chen Tao and Barbatos.
He seemed preoccupied, and soon, the old man Huo Rong helped Chen Tao contact the World Forger through the First Lantern Knight. Chen Tao wanted to see what the other party had to say.
"You've completely shattered the main universe's timeline."
That was the first thing he said.
For the World Maker, the task at most was to complete the Multiverse Integration event. The antics that Chen Tao, the Laughing Bat, and the Anti-Monitor had created on the main universe timeline were something the World Maker did not want to see at all.
"All of this is meaningless to me. The crisis energy you created is not part of my plan, and I have no interest in seizing it. But..."
Therefore, he formally proposed a cooperation to Chen Tao:
It's acceptable whoever ends up with this energy, but it's unacceptable for it to be given to the anti-surveillance agents.
"You can handle these crisis energies yourselves, and frankly, I don't think this amount of crisis energy can safely and directly restart the history of the main universe's timeline as you previously planned. All of this is harmless."
Chen Tao didn't pay attention to the condescending tone in the other person's words; he had always known that.
"Never give it to the Anti-Monitor. Batman, I know you may misunderstand me and see me as a world-destroying villain, but I am merely absorbing energy from the Hypertime Stream to create my own Baby Multiverse."
Strictly speaking, I'm not a murderer; at most, I'm a leech that sucks blood.
"But the Anti-Monitors are different. The way the Anti-Monitors strengthen themselves is by devouring all positive matter in the universe. You should know about the Crisis on Infinite Earths. Didn't that teach you a lesson? You should know that the Anti-Monitors bring only utter destruction."
Chen Tao agreed. If we ignore the self-aggrandizing parts, it's still "of course, he can."
Sure, of course. Why not? The World Forgers are his enemies, and the Anti-Monitors even more so.
If Chen Tao could help eliminate an enemy in advance, why wouldn't he cooperate with the World Forgers?
"But before we actually take action, we still need to examine the attitude of the anti-surveillance forces."
Chen Tao told the World Forgers: "We said before that we would give all this crisis energy to Superman Supreme and then let him restart the timeline."
Chen Tao acted like a pure and innocent person in front of the World Forgers, but in fact, he never intended for the matter to be resolved so easily.
The World Forgers have more than one ally. With Superman Supreme among them, Chen Tao naturally hopes that Superman Supreme and the Anti-Monitor will fight each other to the death and both of them will be weakened, rather than him foolishly standing on the side of the Anti-Monitors or on the side of Superman Supreme to deal with the other side, ultimately forcing him to personally intervene to thwart the other side's plans.
That's sure to attract a lot of hatred.
and so……
Chen Tao gave Yu Xiao an order, his tone so matter-of-fact, as if he and Yu Xiao were truly one of the same group.
"Tell the counter-surveillance agents directly that we have enough crisis energy."
He said to the Foolish Owl, "Let's see how Superman the Supreme can't defeat the Anti-Monitor. You must be very curious, right?"
He said, "Don't you think it's time to blow everything up?"
"The tuning fork has accumulated enough crisis energy."
The Foolish Owl chose to heed Batman's advice, and then he spoke.
He told the anti-surveillance agents who carried the heads of the powerful and wicked:
"We can start planning now. You need to give these powers to Superman Supreme and then begin rebooting the world."
Yes, Chen Tao had thought about it.
He considered that there was a possibility that the counter-surveillance plan contained elements that would not be contradicted.
But not now, not at this moment.
"……No."
Chen Tao looked at the counter-surveillance agent.
He knew the other party would react this way.
It's somewhat sad that the Anti-Monitors tried to persuade Batman Dragon and several others to join forces to kill Superman Supreme after he had served his purpose.
But he didn't know that his brother, the World Maker, was far ahead of him in this regard.
