Chapter 1131 The Evil Nature of the Laughing Bat
Amidst the deafening explosions at the main arena, Dawn Lantern, leading the entire Dark Knights 10, completed the mission assigned to them by Batman Dragon. Unbeknownst to Dawn Lantern, Batman Dragon, through his actions, forcibly solidified a timeline called "Future Apocalypse" for Doctor Manhattan, thus achieving a partial truce and finally freeing up resources to deal with the Justice League and the Batman Who Laughs in the main universe.
The Dawn Lantern only knows that my mission is complete, and it's time to claim my reward.
"You've succeeded, Dawn's Ghost Lamp."
He heard Batman Dragon say, "As per our agreement, I will give you what you desire: a perfect universe. Summon all your Dark Knights members. The Hanged Man has brought magic to the Watchmen universe. I can now use five-dimensional magic to recall you from the Watchmen universe back to the DC multiverse."
The Dawn Lantern was waiting, but he didn't see it.
Batman: Dragon actually seems to be keeping his promise; is he really going to create a brand new, perfect world for himself?
"Your Dark Knight colleagues will need to stay in the Watchers universe a little longer. There are some loose ends that may require their continued involvement. I will handle that by controlling the killing machine. You don't need to worry about that."
The Dawn Lantern heard Batman Dragon say, "Come, go and see your world."
Then----
Then a portal opened up before the Dawn Lantern, a magical portal behind which lay everything he desired, everything from his dreams.
All of this was so close, so real, that the Dawn Lantern, which had been so carefully guarded against in Batman: The Dragon, felt incredibly unreal.
But he did obtain it. And it wasn't something he acquired so easily; it wasn't a castle in the air. First, his Dark Multiverse itself wasn't destroyed; Chen Tao didn't even need to search for it through the Time Stream. Moreover, altering the history of this Dark Multiverse was far too easy for Chen Tao; Batman Dragon did it with ease.
When the Dawn Lantern opened the door, he saw Gotham teeming with life under the sunlight.
The towering Wayne Tower in the distance awaits its owner, while young parents and children sit in twos and threes on the lawn, just like in the dreamlike world of Dawn's Ghostly Lamp.
No. Or rather, this was even more perfect than the dream world of Dawn's Ghostly Lamp. He had never imagined such a world.
"There will be—"
"Your elderly parents will live in Wayne Tower. I changed the history of Crime Alley, and they didn't die. Thanks to your efforts, Gotham City now has the lowest crime rate in the entire United States, and even maintained that for more than a month without any criminal cases. If you want offspring, you can create your own."
The Dawn Lantern heard Batman Dragon say, "Look, this is everything you wanted, and everything I can give you."
He paused.
Dawn Lamp let out a long breath, and he heard Batman Dragon say, "But..."
I am the Bat of Laughter.
I have heard countless prayers on the battlefield, sometimes whispers, sometimes howls that echo through the sky.
They usually appear before the worst happens.
The Bat Who Laughs closed his eyes slightly, recalling the agonizing screams of the last survivors from the worlds he had destroyed.
No, it's best not to think about it. This is Batman Dragon's conspiracy; he's influencing your thinking.
You just pretend to be a good guy, use the heroes' power, and then achieve your plan at the last moment. It's that simple.
No one has any connection or anything like that with you; they are just a part of what you use, just like you have used countless people before, nothing more.
The Bat Who Laughs tried to avoid making associations as much as possible, but for the first time in his life, he began to lose control of his wandering thoughts.
The Bat Who Laughs has heard countless prayers. He has heard people pray for victory, for divine help, for forgiveness.
Whatever a soldier harbors in his heart, whatever he desires, you can hear him say it.
The Batman Who Laughs, hearing Lex Luthor standing behind Aquaman in the main universe, gazing at his flowing blond hair, silently thought to himself—
"Oh my god, I wish I still had my hair—but aren't I the villain? Why am I standing here—"
"You'd better focus, Bat of Laughter."
The Bat of Laughter turned his head and saw a smaller Barbatos clone appear behind him, its tattered wings spread, behind the rising flames.
"Hurry up! A group of beings from the Dark Multiverse have broken through space from another direction, bypassing the main universe's superheroes and are now chasing you."
Barbatos warned, "I can scorch them with the flames of the World's Forge, but there are some characters who cannot be burned by fire."
"Barbatos, tell Batman," the Batman Who Laughs said, "Before we destroyed Earth in the main universe and saved you, cutting off Batman Dragon's channels for creating and absorbing power, he didn't have much time to refine these Dark Multiverses he created. So, apart from a few elites, most of the troops are just Frankenstein's monsters, simply piling up power. So tell him not to worry, he can put all his forces into the battlefield. As for me—"
The laughing bat paused.
"I am not dead."
This can't go on any longer.
He is the Bat Who Laughs, not a hero, and he must fight back.
Note that he meant: to retaliate.
He and Batman Dragon have been fighting for a long time and can almost be called old friends.
Therefore, he could completely predict Batman Dragon's next move.
By using all of their inferior, ragtag troops and a small contingent of elite soldiers to draw the Justice League's attention, and then releasing an even more elite pursuit force from another direction to distract Barbatos, what will likely appear before him next is—
"Ah, it's you, Bruce. My dearest friend."
The Laughing Bat looked at the Dawn Lantern and the Hanged Man that appeared before him, a strange smile appearing on its lips.
Interestingly, the Batman Who Laughs seemed to have completely seen through Batman Dragon's plan to constantly use his massive army to distract others, but he—
Instead of informing Batman of these things, he deliberately misled the Justice League, making them believe that the creatures chasing him were insignificant and that he could easily defeat them.
No one knows what the Batman Who Laughs is thinking, nor does anyone know the evil nature beneath his forcibly altered personality.
How much of it has actually returned over time?
