Chapter 1071 The Laughing Bat is Killed
"Soon, the era created by Batman: Dragon will be over, and 5G will disappear."
Within the Infant Multiverse, the Batman Who Laughs gazes at the trans-timeline of the DC Multiverse, watching that segment of history gradually disappear as Doctor Manhattan devours it.
He is no longer the brain in a vat; he has found a new body. As for his brain, no one knows where it went.
A massive amount of crisis energy was generated by Dr. Manhattan's actions, and was then gathered by the well-prepared Perpetual and the Batman Who Laughs, and channeled into the Möbius Chair.
"When the 5G era is completely swallowed up, this reality that once briefly appeared in the hyper-time stream will completely collapse," said the Batman Who Laughs. "And the history of the Great Empress, where you were once again sealed back to the Origin Wall, will also be completely erased."
Yes, that's right. In destroying the 5G era, Dr. Manhattan inadvertently did Perpetual Pape a huge favor. He destroyed the fact that Batman's Dragon had resealed Perpetual Pape back onto the Source Wall. This would allow Perpetual Pape to suddenly choose a reality where he is "more powerful because I wasn't resealed" and then envelop himself in it.
With these crisis energies added, the DC multiverse will soon see a fully realized Perpetua, so powerful as to be invincible.
Dr. Manhattan could have prevented all of this from happening.
He could have interrupted Papetua's recovery and development beforehand, but he didn't.
Dr. Manhattan is possessed by some kind of divinity, leaping abruptly from a mortal to a transcendent being, making him seem, in his actions, to have become a slave to some kind of quantum thirst for knowledge, rather than the Manhattan he once was.
"Your Majesty, I have arranged everything," said the Bat Who Laughs.
"Once Doctor Manhattan reduces the timeline to the end of the 5G era, you can regain your power, but don't rush to confront Doctor Manhattan head-on. Doctor Manhattan will continue to devour the DC Multiverse's rebirth period, which will provoke resistance from the DC Multiverse itself. And we can completely guess that the rebel supported by the DC Multiverse will be Batman Dragon himself."
"I'm not saying we should hide in the background and watch them fight while we reap the benefits, but the fact is we all have to admit that the DC multiverse has grown into a living, sentient being. When the DC multiverse has other options, it will never support us becoming the main force helping it fight Doctor Manhattan. So we need to push the DC multiverse to a certain point and find the right opportunity."
The Bat Who Laughs turned the wheel of time in front of Papetua and quickly pointed to the period before the New 52.
"The New 52 is the product of Dr. Manhattan stealing 10 years' worth of DC multiverse material, so strictly speaking, it only exists within these 10 years."
The DC multiverse was in its normal evolution before it was stolen.
Once the history of the DC multiverse is lost to this extent, the DC multiverse will be like a person who has lost too much blood, gradually losing its ability to resist.
At this juncture, our entry into the fray against Doctor Manhattan would secure the full support of the DC multiverse without making it too powerful and hindering our plans. Furthermore, we could draw upon the crisis energy from the DC multiverse's past destruction—a triple benefit.
The Batman Who Laughs said, "And there's another advantage to acting at this time. When I'm going through the history of timeout records, you'll be back in Batman: Dragon and Superman the Primal."
"What do you mean by 'same'?" Papetua asked.
"In other words, Batman Dragon and Superman Supreme are the same; they have both read the comics and observed the history of the main universe in their own universes. However, unlike Superman Supreme, who discovered his talent one day and then came from his own world to the main universe of the DC multiverse to participate in a series of adventures."
Batman: Dragon takes place when a Batman named Bruce Wayne suddenly gains the memories of an otherworldly being named Chen Tao and begins to identify himself as Chen Tao.
The Batman Who Laughs shook his head: "But if Dr. Manhattan's absorbed history exceeds the point in time when Bruce gained Chen Tao's memories and became Batman Dragon, our Batman Dragon will completely lose the Chen Tao personality and become the Bruce Wayne we know, and a Bruce Wayne from the Dark Multiverse with ordinary abilities. Can you understand how advantageous that would be for us?"
The Bat of Laughter acted as if he were somewhat carried away, seemingly not even offering the most basic honorifics to the Hand of the Void and Perpetua.
He seemed completely unaware that Papetua and the Hand of the Void were both silent.
The Bat Who Laughs has arranged everything.
He appeared to be in complete control, as if everything was under his command, but interestingly, it seemed he hadn't properly planned what would happen after he finished all of this—
Will Papetua discard him after using him?
"So what do we need to do next?"
"No, there's absolutely no need to do that. We just need to wait for the right moment to restore your power, then solidify it onto the Hypertime Stream, and then we can wait for Batman Dragon and Doctor Manhattan to fight to the death, and then we'll make our move at the right time."
"That's what the Bat Who Laughs said," he said, and then he suddenly grabbed his own neck.
"Ho—"
In an instant, the Batman Who Laughs' body was shattered to pieces, and as for their Brain in a Vat, an alternate dimension appeared beside the Batman Who Laughs. Papetua easily broke through the defense of that alternate dimension, and then grabbed the edge of the Brain in a Vat machine.
"damn you----"
Then came a scream that came through the mind channel.
Perpetua smashed the glass jar containing the brain in the jar and held the head of the laughing bat in his palm.
The Bat Who Laughs has been enhanced by Mandrake, and its power is now approaching that of all previous Mandrakes. Since Mandrake's power comes from Perpetua, for the Mother of the Multiverse, absorbing the power of the Bat Who Laughs is as easy as drinking a beverage.
In the blink of an eye, the Laughing Bat was killed—was he?
"Of course not for now," Perpetua said. In an instant, across dozens of different points in time, the dozen or so clones of the Bat Who Laughs had left behind exploded like watermelons. Perpetua dusted off his hands and said slowly, "Now the Bat Who Laughs is completely dead."
She turned to look at the Void Hand: "And our deal remains unchanged."
