I, the anti-superman, have hacked into the chat group.

"Let the White Lantern Ring, which has almost no energy left, play its final role here."

Karl gave the command to the ring and then threw it directly at Barbatos.

In an instant, the breath and radiance of life spread throughout the surroundings, completely incompatible with Barbatos's evil energy attributes, forcing him to squint his eyes.

It was a very short blink, but when he opened his eyes again, Karl was completely gone.

Chapter 309 The Dark Knights 4000

A few days later, a red and blue afterimage suddenly appeared in a corner of the metropolis.

Like a poorly received television signal, the image was intermittent and unstable, but as time went on, the phantom gradually became more solid until the last person wearing a red cloak appeared in the same spot.

This person was Karl.

"Hmm, this universe looks good. It should be able to exist for quite a long time. I have already visited more than 10 universes using the collider. It won't be so easy to find me."

A few days ago, Karl was forced to enter the Dark Universe. Because he had used the White Light as a flashbang, Barbatos could not determine which universe Karl had entered. After tearing apart several universes in a fit of impotent rage, he still had no choice but to leave since he could not find Karl's location.

Carl escaped alive, but that doesn't mean he's safe.

This is the Dark Multiverse, Barbatos's stronghold, where he has ample time and resources to wear down Kal.

"Let's take a look at what Barbatos is doing right now."

Karl discreetly hid in a corner of the city, avoiding the attention of the dark heroes there. Then he took out an eyeball and placed it on his forehead.

This eye, known as the Eye of All Wisdom, was obtained by Karl from Grell, the daughter of Darkseid, during his battle against the Anti-Monitor.

Grell wanted to kill Darkseid, so she sought out the Anti-Monitor and they hit it off immediately. The reason she was able to find the Anti-Monitor from across the multiverse was entirely because of the eyeball in Karl's hand.

It's not truly omniscient, but it can see any place in the multiverse and has a certain filtering ability when searching for things.

The multiverse is so vast that any human being appears insignificant in comparison. To try and find a specific thing within it by simply looking at it inch by inch is utterly a pipe dream.

When Grell used the built-in filtering function of her eyeballs, her requirement was to find a creature capable of killing Darkseid, and after some time, she found the Anti-Monitor.

Karl will find it more convenient to use now because he understands his goal better and what he is looking for is very clear: the evil dragon Barbatos.

Karl's vision began to shift, piercing through layers of dark universe, and arriving at the location of Barbatos, who was nowhere in sight.

Karl could see that Barbatos was perched on a mountain peak, his massive yet emaciated body coiled around it like a snake.

It's clear that this is a very relaxed posture for him. Perhaps he doesn't look like a dragon, but his habits reveal his true race.

Barbatos's behavior of clinging to the mountain peak at this moment is like that of a human sitting on a throne with his ministers below him.

"Lord Barbatos, rest assured, Superb won't escape. I will definitely find him." Dawn Lantern knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.

This surprised Karl a little. It was one thing that Dawn Lamp had survived being sucked into the black hole, but to reappear in front of Barbatos without being killed with a single blow was quite another.

It's important to understand that for Barbatos, the Dawn Lantern not only failed in its mission, forcing him to take matters into his own hands, but he also completely underperformed in the subsequent battle. If he had been able to fight with all his might to stop Mebius from returning to the spaceship, things might have turned out differently.

In conclusion, Barbatos doesn't seem like a magnanimous person at all, so it's strange that he chose to leave the Dawn Lantern behind under these circumstances.

This question didn't linger in Carl's mind for long. He began to observe the other person's lip movements, listening to the following conversation by reading their lips.

Carl hadn't specifically trained for this skill, but for someone with a super brain like him, simulating it in his mind was enough to grasp the knack.

After waiting for a while without hearing Barbatos's reply, Dawn Lamp had no choice but to continue, "Lord Barbatos, Superpower still has my Lamp Furnace with him. As long as he is in a nearby universe, I will sense it. He definitely cannot escape my pursuit!"

After saying this, Dawn Lamp's expression gradually returned to normal, as if Barbatos had said something that temporarily relieved him of his life-threatening danger.

Unfortunately, Barbatos kept his face hidden in his dark hood, so Karl couldn't see his mouth and therefore couldn't know what he was saying. He could only deduce it from the words of others.

The Dawn Lantern lowered its head and said respectfully, "Thank you, Lord Barbatos. I will definitely not let you down this time!"

Barbatos then spoke a few more words, followed by a long roar that caused spacetime to tremble, so Karl knew he was roaring.

Barbatos's voice pierced through dimensions, reaching places beyond his own universe. This was not a simple, meaningless roar; Barbatos was calling out for something.

The answer was soon revealed: three bizarrely shaped 'Batmen' teleported across realms to the mountain where Barbatos was located.

In the Dark Multiverse, there exists a very rare substance called Dark Metal, which can be simply understood as a kind of artifact produced by the multiverse itself. With the power of Dark Metal, inter-universe teleportation is not a difficult task.

The three Batmen were on missions in other universes, but upon hearing Barbatos's summons, they had to rush over immediately.

Like the Dawn Lantern, these three Batmen also look extremely abnormal, like a stitched-together creation of other heroes. Judging from their uniforms, one is black, one is blue, and one is red.

The red Batman is surrounded by black and red bats. Although the design is different, Carl is very familiar with those things; they're the Speed ​​Force. If the Dawn Lantern looks like the Green Lantern Bat, then this guy is the Flash Bat.

The blue Batman is quite special; he's a robot shaped like Batman with some blue decorations on his body, and on the surface, he doesn't have as many stitched-together elements.

The last one, the black Batman, stood in the middle of the three, clearly the leader.

He was thin, with pale skin, and wore a black leather coat that gave him a somber look. Only his lips were different; they were a deep, blood-red color.

Needless to say, it's clearly a Batman with Joker elements.

The clown bat walked ahead of the other two, and he had a very noticeable feature: an eye patch covered in spikes.

It's called an eye patch, but judging from its shape, it's just an iron ring that's directly clamped onto the clown bat's eye sockets. I don't know how the clown bat can see its surroundings under these conditions.

The three approached Barbatos, bowed, and the clown bat said in a affected manner, "Great Lord Barbatos, what are your commands for summoning your loyal servant?"

"The Laughing Bat..."

Looking at the Batman who was behaving like an ancient court jester, Dawn Lantern softly called out his name, while recalling the time when they first met.

The Dark Universe has a very short lifespan and could come to an end at any time. This is why Karl chose several universes and selected a relatively stable place to settle down.

The universe of the Dawn Lantern came to an end when he defeated the Green Lantern Corps.

At that time, everything in the universe was plunged into darkness, and the Dawn Lantern thought it would also be swallowed up by it, but just then, the Bat Who Laughs appeared.

He took himself away from the doomed universe and showed himself the endless Dark Multiverse, eventually convincing himself to join his ranks and serve Barbatos.

At the time, Dawn Lamp thought the Laughing Bat was some kind of cosmic god or something, but later he learned that the other party was also a survivor of some dark universe, just like him.

However, it's not entirely the same. At least in terms of what they're currently in charge of, the Laughing Blessed is responsible for recruiting soldiers and establishing the so-called Dark Knights, while he is just a member of the group, even if the other party is just an ordinary person without any supernatural powers.

In the flashback of Dawn's Ghost Lamp, Barbatos had already completed his instructions to the Laughing Bat.

“Let’s go, we’re going to carry out a mission together now, hahaha.” The Bat of Laughter said, putting one hand on the shoulder of the Dawn Lantern.

Then he said to Barbatos, "Lord Barbatos, the Dark Knights will not disappoint you. I will accomplish both things: establish the Dark Knights and kill that Kryptonian."

Karl couldn't hear what was coming next; it was Barbatos who spoke.

He said in a deep voice, "No, he can't die yet. The person who escaped is very likely to come back to find him with the Multiverse Tower. It would be more useful to capture it."

Several days have passed, and Barbatos's anger has gradually subsided. Reason has regained its advantage. Even if he kills the Cal Multiverse Tower, he will not be able to return, and it will not help his grand plan in the slightest.

Moreover, after being expelled from the multiverse once before, he could no longer invade it for a short period of time, and he couldn't retrieve the Multiverse Tower when it returned.

Killing Kerr would only vent his anger. On the contrary, if he only captured Karl, he could use him as leverage if Mebius and the others returned, and try to get them to send the Multiverse Tower over.

The Batman Who Laughs gave another exaggerated bow before leaving Barbatos's universe with the other three Dark Batmen.

The dark universe where Barbatos lived was quite special; it was desolate and almost devoid of life. After the Batman Who Laughs and the others left, Barbatos was at least the only living being left in this star system.

That's how it should be, but Barbatos felt something was off. He started looking around, and even though there was no one around, he had a feeling that someone was watching him.

"Hmm? It's normal now... Is it just a hallucination caused by my recent excessive anger?" Barbatos muttered to himself before leaving the universe.

This is just a place for deliberation, because the universe is very quiet, but he doesn't usually live here.

…………

Deep within the Dark Multiverse, Karl withdrew his All-Seeing Eye.

"I almost got caught. As soon as everyone else disappeared from sight, Barbatos immediately sensed the All-Seeing Eye's spying. I was relatively quick to retreat, and I don't know if he guessed it was my doing."

"Let's think about this problem later. Let's just assume he already knows and deal with it accordingly. Let's think about what to do next."

"Barbatos has sent his Dark Knights to search for me. It seems I'll be facing a group of dark creatures hunting me down."

Barbatos sent the Dark Knights to hunt him down.

The so-called Dark Knights are actually just a group of Batmen who have turned to the dark side.

For example, Batman, who found the Green Lantern ring in his youth, went on a killing spree, became increasingly extreme, and eventually became the Dawn Lantern.

For example, frustrated by the limitations of his abilities, he attempted to seize the Flash's Speed ​​Force in order to have enough time to prevent all tragedies. Ultimately, the two merged, creating the Red Death.

For example, Batman accidentally kills the Joker, but is infected by the virus inside the Joker and becomes increasingly insane, even more evil than the Joker.

Batman's wisdom, combined with the Joker's madness, gave birth to the great Batman Who Laughs!

"Just thinking about Wei Yixiao gives me a headache. I don't feel any sense of intelligence or not, but in the original storyline, he brought out Batman's overpowered attributes to the fullest extent, which is disgusting."

Carl wasn't afraid of the Batman Who Laughs. His so-called headache was actually a joke about the character he'd seen in a story from his previous life, also named the Batman Who Laughs.

Now the enemy is in the open while we are in the dark. A wise man's plan requires intelligence and time, and no one can skip this step. The Bat Who Laughs does not understand him, so he is not much of a threat to him.

Even so, Carl still couldn't be found by the other side.

As mentioned before, the Dark Multiverse is the enemy's stronghold, where Barbatos can freely utilize his accumulated resources over the years.

When they were trying to seize the Multiverse Tower, Barbatos sent out two Supermen, Wonder Woman, and Batman.

This lineup is already quite impressive, but for Barbatos, the cost of invading the multiverse is simply too high, which is why he had to use only this small number of 'troops'.

The Dark Universe is countless; even with its short lifespan, over many years, Barbatos must have amassed a large number of capable subordinates.

Carl had no doubt that he could summon an army composed entirely of superhumans whenever the other side wanted.

The repulsive nature of the multiverse has trapped 99% of people, making them unable to use any amount of military force, but there is no such restriction in the dark multiverse.

Karl didn't want to test just how many dark heroes Barbatos had amassed; he'd rather find a way to avoid the Dark Knights.

As Dawn Lamp just mentioned, he can sense the furnace that Karl took, with a range of up to the size of a universe. He also needs to find a way to deal with this thing first.

Throw it into the Honkai Impact 3rd world.

Carl made his decision quickly.

As the saying goes, "The more debts you have, the less you worry; the more lice you have, the less they itch." The Honkai world still preserves the Anti-Life Equation, so what difference does it make if we add another Green Lantern Furnace from the Dark Multiverse?

[Superman]: Bronya, are you there?

Bronya replied the moment Karl sent the message.
