Chapter 605 Wonder Woman drinks the potion of laughter and prepares to meet...
Chapter 605 Wonder Woman drinks the Laughing Potion, preparing to meet the merciless iron fist.
Beyond the universe of Reverse Lightning.
This is a Batship, generously provided by Batman from the Queen Hecate universe, and slightly modified by Chen Tao using the divine power of the Dark Multiverse Dragon, allowing it to briefly linger in the bubbles outside the universe while concealing itself.
All the magicians in Queen Hecate's world waited quietly in the ship's hall.
They sat in twos and threes, drinking coffee and eating food.
The leader of them is the retro version of Wonder Woman who was once possessed by Queen Hecate.
Yes, in countless parallel universes, Wonder Woman can be considered a magical figure in the strict sense, and she is also the only one of the Big Three who is capable of handling magical matters.
Batman once sent them back to their own universe, but now it seems like a cover-up.
Soon, as the mechanical door in the distance opened, Bane appeared before the numerous mages and retro-style female warriors.
"Everyone's here, so I won't say much more. There's plenty of food on the spaceship, so everyone can easily... And the plan is..."
He made a few brief pleasantries and then ended the conversation. He then began to walk around and distribute medicine to everyone.
"Uh... to be honest, I'm not quite sure what we need this potion for..."
Captain Marvel, Shazam, is standing next to her, holding a bottle of medicine and raising his hand like a student, and in fact, he is a student.
(Note: In DC Comics, Shazam was formerly known as Captain Marvel, but later changed his name. However, because Queen Hecate's world is a reflection of the Dark Multiverse from an early comic book event, Shazam's official name here is Captain Marvel.)
Without turning his head, Bain distributed the potion to Lady Shangdu. This mage, who was proficient in divination magic, immediately used divination magic to foresee the future that the potion would bring her, but only read a blank page.
"It's not that my magic failed." She made no attempt to conceal what she had done.
She said, "It's because my magic can't foresee things that never existed in my world."
The immortal female mage raised her slender hand and gently shook the bottle of green potion: "So what exactly is this?"
Lady Shangdu was a charming and alluring woman, but she was old enough to be the grandmother of most of the mages present—except for special cases like Phantom Stranger.
"It's good stuff." Bane was still wearing his black and white hood, but his voice sounded somewhat malicious and amused.
He gave the last vial of medicine to the Retro Wonder Woman and Retro Zatanna, then said, "This is a protective medicine."
Then he paused: "This is a bottle of Joker Venom."
"ha?"
"Batman needs your support, understand? But he must also consider the possibility of the Emperor Joker getting involved."
"But the Emperor Joker's power in reality is limited, understand? This little green thing can distort your brains but ensure your righteous thoughts, thus counteracting the harm the Emperor Joker inflicts on you through his power to alter reality."
Bane said, "Look, this is the instruction manual Batman gave me."
He opened his palm, and then the flesh in his palm rolled in a somewhat nauseating way. Then, a mini version of Darkseid, the Phantom Stranger, Ganthus, and other characters appeared in his hand. The mini Darkseid looked dignified and said something to the others, and then they all burst into wild laughter.
"During the Emperor Joker's era, Darkseid joined forces with the Essence Order to try to stop the Emperor Joker from altering reality, but they were subsequently wiped out."
Bain stopped the demonstration and warned, "We will drink this potion at the appropriate time to protect ourselves, and the plan is to prevent us from suffering the same fate as the essence of that period..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly revealed a somewhat malicious expression. Fortunately, he was wearing a hood, so no one could tell.
He paused for a moment, pressing on the small clump of nanobots that Batman had left in his cochlea.
These robots were able to relay messages to Batman in real time via the Metal Spirit, and Bane clearly received Batman's communication at that moment.
"Miss Prince," he turned and called her by the last name of the retro Wonder Woman.
"What's wrong?"
The retro Wonder Woman blended into the crowd, and when she heard her name called, a question mark appeared above her head.
"There's a slight new development now," Bain said.
"What?" The retro Wonder Woman had no idea what was about to happen to her.
"You might drink the Joker's potion a little earlier than everyone else," Bane said. "Batman seems to have discovered an enemy he didn't expect..."
"And you are the key to winning someone's heart."
Bain said, "Excuse me, Miss Prince, have you ever been in a relationship?"
"Uh... of course not?"
"very good."
Bain nodded, while Diana, still in retro style, had no idea what the other person was satisfied with.
"Would you mind pretending to be in a relationship?"
"Huh, what did you say?"
The retro Diana was so angry she could barely stand.
But before he could rebuke the other party's absurd idea, the green clown venom was swiftly snatched from his hand.
Bane quickly put away the green clown venom, and then opened the Metal Spirit's alternate dimension in front of the retro Diana.
He stuck half his body inside, rummaged around for a while, and then pulled out a bottle of blue clown venom and placed it in the hand of the retro Diana. This potion, a mixture of purple and green, gave off a sticky, blue, viscous feel.
The combination of the purple light energy and the clown venom elevates this dish to its peak!
"Drink this, it's potent."
"Ugh, this looks kind of disgusting. Do I really need to drink this stuff?"
"We have absolutely no idea what the effects of the drug Batman created are."
The Phantom Stranger, standing nearby, voiced his objection: "In fact, if Batman asks us to help him uphold justice, we would certainly be obliged to act as his assistants, which is why we are here."
He shook the green medicine in his hand: "But in fact, we have no idea what the effects of this stuff are. Are we just being told to drink it...?"
"Batman didn't intend for everyone to drink the drug, but this stuff can save the lives of billions and make it easier for Batman to defeat his enemies."
Bane readily resorted to moral blackmail: "Batman has been fighting in the Dark Multiverse to save lives in all its worlds... Please!"
He bowed directly to the other person, and then bowed again to the Phantom Stranger. This was something Bane would never have done before, but the allure was exceptionally strong.
Having spent so much time with Batman, Bane has also learned his own charm techniques.
If the other party disagrees, try pleading with them first. Anyway, if it's free, just keep throwing money out.
Bain used to disdain using such underhanded tactics, which were typically reserved for salespeople, to manipulate others and influence their opinions with a low profile and without expecting anything in return. But now, he no longer adheres to such practices.
Retro Diana couldn't help but feel a sense of indebtedness, as if she had to do something to repay the other party for their efforts to maintain justice in the universe.
So she said:
"Uh... okay. Shall we drink it now?"
"Yes, it will take a while for the effects to kick in. This stuff works very slowly, so you have to take it beforehand, um. That's what Batman told me," Bane said.
There's not much to say about the retro Diana. He picked up the bottle of blue potion, closed his eyes, tilted his head back, and swallowed it with a gulp.
"Ugh, I feel nauseous," she said. "Hey, I'm feeling a little dizzy, haha."
Retro Diana chuckled twice.
……
……
……
The timeline is jumping and resetting.
That fragile reality burst open like tofu, followed by a chaotic entanglement.
Chen Tao turned around and saw that the dead little girl had disappeared on the ground, and what appeared in front of him was a desolate desert.
In one of the timelines created by Reverse Lightning, there was no city at all, but rather ruins after a nuclear war.
Then the world changed again, the ruins turned into a jungle, and a huge, tyrannical dragon poked its head out of the jungle. Chen Tao raised his hand, the gun in his hand was still a gun, but it had long since decayed into a lump of iron.
This weapon was brought from beyond the universe by the Cruel Knight. It has no past in the timeline of this universe, but it can still have a future.
Then the dinosaurs and the jungle disappeared as well.
Ancient times, present, Western era, Victorian era, post-apocalyptic future, periods of riots, timelines with swastikas flying all over the world, and more often, apocalyptic scenes of Atlanteans and Amazons burning, killing, and destroying cities.
"Wow, I've become Dr. Manhattan?"
Chen Tao muttered to himself.
This was a truly novel experience. In most dark multiverses, given Chen Tao's pitifully limited understanding of the Speed Force, his ability to pull off a world-rebooting trick was already an extraordinary feat.
In fact, the reason he was able to restart his own universe's timeline was entirely due to the fusion of his universe's Barry Allen into his body, followed by a powerful brick-like attack.
He himself is at most at the level of an ordinary player using Speed Force techniques like Time Residue.
But in this world, the timeline is so rotten, with fragments of reality mixed together with those of other timelines, it's like someone smashed a road before the cement had fully hardened, then mixed the partially hardened fragments with new cement and paved a new, potholed road.
The fragmented historical lines that Chen Tao just saw are the "hard cement blocks" that exist on the road.
The scene before him reset again, and Chen Tao returned to the normal timeline.
He looked down and saw the little girl's brain matter splattering out and her mother's terrified screams.
The next moment, the flying brains retreated in mid-air.
Chen Tao, wreathed in red lightning, moved at high speed, transforming into a red shadow as he ran at an incredible speed imperceptible to mortals.
The red electricity emanated from his feet, like a circuit shocking the ground.
It was as if the whole world had been turned on reverse; the terrified expression on the mother's face vanished, and she retreated towards the girl's lunging figure.
And soon, the innocent little girl was back to being perfectly unharmed, and no one...
I know this.
"What did you do?"
All anyone saw was Batman appearing on the street with the Cruel Knight by the neck; nobody knew what that really meant.
In that instant, Chen Tao dragged the cruel knight away from the scene with the little girl and her mother. In a small alley, Chen Tao slammed him against the wall.
With a loud crash, the brick wall was blasted open by brute force, leaving a large hole. Chen Tao clenched his fist slightly, and then... On the reinforced concrete ground, several paving steel bars pierced through the concrete and grew into the cruel knight's flesh, causing him to scream in agony.
Magneto's methods for dealing with Wolverine must have been incredibly painful.
The Cruel Knight was no ordinary person, and Chen Tao could sense that. With the support of some kind of divine power, Chen Tao could only say that the Knight's strength was weaker than Diana's in his universe.
"How did you acquire such physical abilities? This is the power of the Olympian gods... How did it fill your body? Were you chosen as a hero representing the gods? Like Hector?"
(Note: In ancient Greek mythology, Achilles' adversary and the commander of the Trojan army. He died in battle during the Trojan War.)
Immediately afterwards, Chen Tao broke through the cruel knight's body, searching for the source of that power in his blood, but found nothing.
But the power he sensed was the power of the god of war, a power that draws strength from war and becomes even more powerful.
Although he did not understand the power of the gods, he was still able to easily discover this essence.
"Wait... no... right?" The divine power reminded Chen Tao of a Batman, a fallen Bruce who wore the God of War helmet to protect his lover Wonder Woman, but fell into depravity and ultimately killed his lover with his own hands.
In the Dark Knights, he corresponds to Wonder Woman, one of the Big Three. Even among the many Batmen in the Dark Multiverse, Bruce is one of the strongest.
"How did he get here? Was it the work of the Laughing Bat?" Chen Tao looked down, his expression unpredictable as he stared at the half-dead, cruel knight before him.
"And what's wrong with this guy? Neither the Batman Who Laughs nor the Merciless Iron Fist think the Cruel Knight can stand against me, do they? That would be an insult to their intelligence."
He thought about it.
"They still brought the cruel knight before me. Why?"
Chen Tao couldn't get anything out of the Cruel Knight. He had just gone through Bruce's memories and found that Bruce knew nothing. He was a complete idiot. Bruce's mind was full of bullets, and he was just short of shooting his brains out with the bullets.
"But no matter what... the plan needs to be adjusted slightly," Chen Tao thought.
He continued to carry the Cruel Knight and flashed away, intending to disappear from the spot, but then turned his head away.
"Oh, Reverse-Flash, the true master of this world, has come to find me... How slow he's been."
……
……
……
While Chen Tao and the Cruel Knight were fighting fiercely and performing a time reversal, what exactly was the Merciless Iron Fist, who had been brought to this world by the Batman Who Laughs, doing?
He certainly wasn't working diligently.
This is Paradise Island.
In Reverse-Flash's timeline, the war between Paradise Island and Atlantis destroyed the world countless times, a reality that Reverse-Flash could not change no matter how many times he risked his life.
but now……
"I really miss those days."
The merciless iron fist's feet trod on the land of Paradise Island.
