American comics: What kind of evil intentions could Batman have?

Chapter 1160 May I bless you, every night.

Chen Tao didn't see what Batman was going to do next.

Regardless of whether Batman will do what he should have done but hasn't, and regardless of whether Batman can make history on his own, Chen Tao has no way to interfere anymore.

He's already given Batman far too many incredible advantages; death is rejecting him, the rules are clashing with him, and he's still a dead man in DC's books. He's lingered too long, solely to find the truth of his origins—

He knew that he would achieve his goal when he could make his history into a near-circular whole, but he hesitated, feeling lost and confused.

More importantly, the multiverse is subtly preventing him from becoming Batman's caretaker. Batman will never have a guardian angel; he will always be a mortal, forever only able to solve problems in a mortal way. Giving him superhuman power and having someone protect him would only weaken Batman. Chen Tao has already taken too much from the DC multiverse: the authority of the Anti-Monitor, the power of the Bat Mite. If it weren't for the power left behind by the Creator and Dr. Manhattan helping him fill the gap, he would now be facing the pursuit of the DC multiverse.

The guy who owes you a debt, but someone paid it off for him, now wants to seduce your most precious and virtuous woman. Can the multiverse allow that?

So you can only rely on yourself, my friend, and so can I.

Chen Tao crossed the River Styx, walking on the river known as the River of Eternal Depravity. Charon, the ferryman of the underworld from Greek mythology, huddled in his small boat, trembling like a sieve, yet he insisted on rowing behind Chen Tao.

Like the Black Death Emperor and other secondary agents of death, Charon, the ferryman of the River Styx and a servant of Hades, was also unable to resist his instincts:

Every living person or soul heading to the underworld must be ferried by him.

Passing through the darkness, we arrive at the gates of hell, Cerberus, the three-headed dog.

He guards this gate, preventing the living from returning.

When he saw Chen Tao, the three-headed dog whimpered and then lay sprawled on the ground.

Chen Tao reached out and touched his huge nose, making it tremble with fear, just like Charon.

"Good dog."

Chen Tao said.

He is heading towards the underworld. He is approaching death, just as Batman has done countless times before.

So common.

"Aaaaaaaahh ...

The Batman from the main universe screamed, a sound that seemed to echo in Chen Tao's ears.

He simultaneously absorbed the fire giant Surtur and the Queen Hecate of the Dark Multiverse into his own body.

He aims to seal two gods with his mortal body, achieving a feat that Alan Scott, the first Green Lantern in the Dark Multiverse, could not accomplish.

His screams were deafening.

Chen Tao walked across the Kokutes River, a river called the Cry from Afar, formed from the tears of those who had been forced to labor in hell, and whose surface emitted terrifying howls year-round.

But no one dared to cry when the dragon passed by.

Therefore, the world was at peace.

Beyond the river lies a vast gray plain. The underworld is not a place of punishment, but merely the dwelling place of the dead. The true place of punishment is the abyss of torment, Tartarus, where Zeus once cast his father, the former king of the gods Cronus, into.

Sometimes, the previous god-king would bewitch anyone he could find, but he didn't dare to speak to the dragon.

Chen Tao stopped on the gray plain.

He was close enough to die.

Batman is close enough to die.

A miracle is about to happen.

The main universe's Batman kneels on the ground.

One half of his face spewed forth raging flames, while the other half turned into a white reflection of the ghastly green firelight.

A pale green glow and blazing red flames burned simultaneously on his body.

One vein after another turned black, climbing up his cheeks.

He let out a bone-chilling wail like a zombie.

Chen Tao stretched out his hand towards the gray plain.

But death cannot stop Batman.

Batman has been here countless times.

But he will never meet Hades face to face.

After passing through the gray fields known as the Land of Periwinkles, he will likely have to face Hades directly.

Chen Tao did not intend to do that.

He stretched out his palm towards the plain.

Countless indistinct shadows lit up on the plain.

Chen Tao once used the Omega effect to overdraw the lives of countless heroes (Chapter 860). He used the Omega Judgment to send those superheroes into an infinite parallel universe, letting them reincarnate in the infinite parallel universe. According to the original effect of the Omega Judgment, they would enter a state of delayed death, constantly accumulating Omega energy in the infinite parallel universe before finally exploding.

This is a trick.

A scheme to give Chen Tao a chance to save them.

Chen Tao summoned those dazed and confused souls.

No, it's still a bit short.

Chen Tao frowned.

Hades could not disobey his duty.

He couldn't just hand over these souls to himself like that.

He was trapped by his duties, filled with fear, yet utterly helpless.

Batman shouldn't have met Pluto.

"Should not."

It's not that it's impossible.

He took a step forward.

"Ughh ...

The main universe's Batman screamed in agony, the screams growing weaker and weaker until he suddenly stopped screaming altogether, collapsing straight to the ground. The flames and the pale green light vanished from his body. The Classic Wonder Woman's heart tightened, and she quickly walked over, even though she worried that she might suffer the same fate as her Cosmic Superman. In the Classic Wonder Woman's universe, the Classic Superman tried to help the Classic Wonder Woman, who was then controlled by Queen Hecate, and then she ripped out his heart.

But it was worth the risk for him.

This is the only hope.

The classic Wonder Woman captures the main universe's Batman.

She planned to absorb Queen Hecate back into her body, which would at least help Batman in the main universe share some of the burden. At the very least, he absolutely could not die—he couldn't die here, otherwise the classic Wonder Woman would be helpless.

But when she reached out her hand—

boom!

Her wrist was grabbed.

boom!

The enormous dragon stormed into the underworld, its wings obscuring the last remaining light.

Everything was plunged into darkness.

He grabbed Hades' neck with his bare hands using his claws.

Hades, the god of the underworld, remained expressionless.

He was pushed to the ground, and countless souls emerged beneath his throne, walking blankly and listlessly toward the dragon before disappearing into its shadow.

"Feel sorry----"

The dragon said.

"Feel sorry----"

"This is what the main universe's Batman said."

"But it's okay."

They both spoke at the same time.

"For Batman—" Chen Tao said.

He spread his wings, and countless souls followed him. He flew across the entire gray plain and landed on the River Styx, politely stepping over it one step at a time.

"For Batman—" said the main universe Batman.

He straightened his upper body, and the flames, paleness, and eerie green light on his face receded like a tide. The black veins rapidly transformed, and an aura of death crept onto his cheeks. The classic Wonder Woman took two steps back and saw that the main universe Batman was wearing a black ring on his middle finger. He then quickly removed the ring.

The classic Wonder Woman didn't recognize the ring, but thought it looked a lot like the Green Lantern Ring.

"For Batman, death is our friend."

They both spoke in unison.

"May I bless you—"
