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

Chapter 1161 The Sun Rises

Batman always manages to save himself. And he did it again.

Chen Tao watched as the main universe's Batman single-handedly suppressed both the Lantern Horror and Queen Hecate, much to the horror of the classic Wonder Woman's gaze.

He always manages to do it.

What follows will only be a devastating defeat.

Chen Tao walks on the edge of the river of time.

He saw a new, or rather an ancient, historical timeline rising in the hyper-time stream. This was neither grand nor magical, and was even insignificant in the vast and boundless history of the entire DC multiverse.

Essentially, Chen Tao knew very well that he had only created a history similar to "Heroes Guarding the Main World for 200 Years," which, although recognized by the Hypertime Flow, was destined to be buried in the upper reaches of the Hypertime Flow with the restart of the universe. No matter how beautifully he wrote the process, the end of the story would always be that he would actively let the Laughing Bat press him into the End of the Sun, creating an era without him in the Hypertime Flow.

but----

All of this is invaluable to those who intend to leave the multiverse and set off towards the infinite horizon.

Chen Tao watched history unfold. He watched as the Lantern Horrors set off at the end of the 5G era, heading towards the Baby Multiverse under Chen Tao's control, bringing with them the world they had lost and regained.

They will not have a place in the new era of the DC multiverse, but Chen Tao's actions have completed their history, allowing them to finally save their worlds without constraints and then leave. Chen Tao was able to do this, and their worlds were not forever embraced by death like Earth-15.

All of this was a gift from Chen Tao—just as death had once promised Chen Tao: the love of family and friends and a beverage that would never run dry.

They have the opportunity to rewrite their own history: Supergirl Louise will get her Superman, O'McBlue Beetle will save her friend Terra will get the love she once wanted but could not have—and White Lantern Sinestro.

There will never again be the Manifest Destiny of the DC Multiverse or the Corruption of the Dark Multiverse. The beings of the Dark Multiverse will regain their free will, and Chen Tao will always gently steer the story in a positive direction.

He still has some loose ends to clean up.

At the edge of the endlessly fluctuating trans-time stream, Chen Tao caught the Emperor Clown who was trying to escape.

You're always dead but not stiff, aren't you?

"No! No!"

"Shh—relax."

Chen Tao easily caught him. He pinched the Emperor Clown's head, stretched out his hand, and twisted his entire face into a distorted shape, as if he were pulling a steel wire.

"Alright, stop trying to run away. If you don't go back normally, there will be a gap in the history of the Joker in the main universe."

"Aa ...

"It's so noisy—stop yelling. I already told you, relax—it's okay, feeling dizzy is normal."

No matter how much the Emperor Clown yelled, it was no use. Chen Tao stuffed him back into his own history like a sardine in a can, like a nail being driven back into cement.

The Emperor Joker seemed to want to say something more, whether it was mockery or pleading for mercy—but pleading for mercy? Would a clown plead for mercy? Obviously not, it was just a tactic, but it was no longer important to Chen Tao.

The Joker will never be important. To Batman, he is not even as important as Bane, and even his five-dimensional powers cannot change that.

His existence is as insignificant as a feather to Batman; he's just trash to be cleaned up, something he doesn't like but still has to do, and once he's done, he turns and leaves—that's all.

He turned his head and, on the edge of history, saw the foolish owl, who had lost his physical body, piece together a body for himself made of garbage and machinery. No, to be precise, uh—he had completely lost his human form and become an aggregate of some kind of giant garbage.

Even so, he still couldn't escape the torment of Night Owl and Joker in his mind.

He absorbed some residual power from the Anti-Monitor, granting him powerful superpowers and a twisted body.

Even so, the two personalities continued to fight endlessly in his mind, never able to reach an agreement, and never able to let go of the fool, even after he changed bodies, they would only continue to torment him until the end of time.

"That's so pitiful, it's best not to leave you in the DC multiverse."

Chen Tao did this because he was unsure how the DC multiverse would treat Foolish Owl. Foolish Owl's existence was a product of his creation. If he escaped the time reboot and retained his memories in the new era, it would definitely interfere with the new era. Conversely, if he was rebooted by time, he would become some strange monster, which would also interfere with history.

So you have to clean up the mess you create.

"No!"

The enormous junk monster struggled. Chen Tao studied it for a moment, and then an unknown artillery barrage came from some corner of the hypertime flow—uh—the original target of this barrage seemed to be the Anti-Monitor? And the launcher was Foolish Owl's own ship? (Chapter 790)

It's okay.

This single shot left Yu Xiao's new body half-dead. Chen Tao then grabbed him from a distance and threw him into the Baby Multiverse.

He's still very busy, busy filling in the gaps in his own history.

He appeared at various points in history, like a diligent bee.

He prevented Hal from becoming a self-destructing bomb, and as Parallax Hal lost consciousness, he scratched the other's butt and chin—oh, just like a superhero, isn't it? (Chapter 686)

He left some clues for Owlman, using him to guide Superman Supreme, while Owlman himself was unaware of who was controlling him. (Chapter 924)

He saved Flashpoint's Thomas, freeing him from the monstrous state of Swamp Monster and Brother Eye, and guiding him in a new direction.

He kept filling in the gaps in his history, even instigating the drowned souls to drift along on orders—(Chapter 645) His whispers became more and more skillful, even surpassing those of Papetua.

This moment, and eternity, are both meaningful and meaningless to him; he can accomplish these things properly.

The sun has risen again.

Chen Tao knew that the main universe's Batman was acting alongside him. Even without observing it himself, he knew exactly what the main universe's Batman was capable of.

A cosmic tyrant like Darkseid is indeed very powerful to Batman, but when Batman wants to, even the Lord of Apokolips is as vulnerable as a baby, literally.

Because he is Batman, because I am Batman.

And Chen Tao is also approaching the end of his journey —

To be precise, the area before the end.

"Superman Chen Tao".

Chen Tao said.

"My friend—or rather, the life that exists by borrowing my name."
