Chapter 590 Queen Hecate decides to use a counter-strategy against the Bat who laughs.
"If we see a wild boss crouching in the palace..."
"That's the White House, and the president is being held hostage. The damage to the economy and culture is incalculable."
Nonsense took a deep breath and then said:
"This will not only bring the world's largest economy, the United States, to a standstill, but will also trigger a massive financial tsunami and a chain reaction of crises worldwide. The military is mobilizing, the administration is paralyzed, and national security is thrown into turmoil..."
Chen Tao quickly interrupted him, who was spouting nonsense: "As long as the state government is still alive, everything is fine. Thank you federalism, thank you National Guard."
At a time like this, you still have the mind to think about the financial crisis? The universe is about to be destroyed. Queen Hecate would rip your heart out with one claw and you'd be obedient.
"So, continuing our previous topic, if you see a wild boss crouching there, what should you do...?"
"Go and eliminate him immediately."
"No, of course we'll frantically try to get as many teammates as possible!"
This is the moon.
The Dark Justice League is working diligently for Chen Tao.
Chen Tao glanced at the magical heroes in this dark multiverse, and unfortunately, their numbers were still incomplete.
There are no dead, no Constantine, no swamp monsters; the four strongest among them are Zatana, Lady of Shangdu, Doctor of Fate, and Phantom Stranger.
As expected, Zatana exists in every universe. As the most orthodox mage, Zatana is a crucial figure in the magical realm in every universe.
However, Zatana's outfit in this universe is a bit too retro. After all, this universe is a reflection of the 1991 film "Clash of the Titans," and "Crisis on Infinite Earths" had only just ended.
As a reflection of this event, this retro Zatana of the universe sports the American housewife hairstyle common to 20th-century women, with huge metal earrings engraved with the letter Z hanging from both ears.
Lady Shangdu was dressed in a blindingly bright purple, while the Phantom Stranger was dressed in a more normal black outfit with a hood, and the Fate Doctor of this universe was a woman.
Meanwhile, the magicians were inscribing magical runes on the moon. Chen Tao was preparing a trap for Queen Hecate, a plan that would extract her without harming Diana Prince. The plan was gradually taking shape in his hands.
"By the way, I need you to cast a spell on these metal goggles so that I can see clearly even when I wear them..."
Chen Tao certainly couldn't possess the same dark metal bestowed upon him by Barbatos as the Bat of Laugh, so he could only make a fake one using ordinary metal. Fortunately, Queen Hecate had never seen dark metal before, so she couldn't tell the difference.
However, Chen Tao still had to use the power of the Dark Multiverse Dragon to participate in the smelting, which was one of the most important parts.
Soon, the goggles with spikes were completed, and the capture traps prepared by the mages were successfully engraved.
Next...
"Come into my mouth quickly."
Chen Tao said.
"What are you talking about?" Upon hearing the order, Green Lantern Guy Gardner immediately refused: "I will never jump into that sticky mouth."
"Is it really necessary? We should join forces to fight Hecate," said Wally, the Flash of this universe.
(Note: Barry Allen, the Flash, was killed by the Anti-Monitor during the Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1985. Wally West held the title of Flash for a long time until Barry Allen returned in 2009's *The Flash Reborn*. *Clash of the Titans* took place in 1991, so at that time, the Flash was still Wally West.)
Chen Tao tried to explain to them why he did this. Although these superheroes were the strongest group of superheroes in this dark multiverse, due to the inherent deficiencies of the universe, any one of them, even the strongest Talking Superman, was still slightly inferior to Queen Hecate in terms of power.
If Chen Tao were to lead them directly to besiege Queen Hecate, the best outcome would be nothing more than ants overwhelming an elephant. However, if they were willing to visit Chen Tao's stomach, they might achieve some unexpected results.
"I refuse, even if it kills me..."
With a thud, Green Lantern Guy lay down on the ground.
A minute later, he was awakened by being splashed with water.
"I won't..."
Boom!
"I refuse..."
Boom!
"Stop fighting. Even though you're a hero, I think we need to consider..."
Boom!
"I'm completely convinced."
No one is more grateful to Feihua Chao for his ability to distinguish between good and evil than Chen Tao. For Feihua Chao, once he decides you are a good person, he will be the kind of person who entrusts you with his complete trust.
If it weren't for the Talkative Superman's earnest persuasion and his years of leadership in building the Justice League, if Chen Tao had dared to use this high-level technique of persuading others with his fists, these members of the Justice League from another universe would have already turned on him.
Humans aren't machines, after all. Even if they know you're right, they can't emotionally accept such a simple and crude way of persuading them. And what Chen Tao lacks most is time to communicate with them in a tactful way.
If he wastes his time here talking to them and dragging his feet without taking any action, who knows what kind of trouble might happen with Queen Hecate.
Before occupying the White House, Empress Hecate had already slaughtered Mount Olympus, only to find that she had absorbed very little power, which was extremely weak.
Zeus, the king of the gods, said, "You have forgotten the most basic rule of the gods, witch. It is faith that gives us power, and the human world is no longer like the sacrifices on Mount Olympus. It's very simple, Hecate, there are new gods now."
Therefore, by occupying the White House, the other side is clearly trying to lure the superheroes of this universe to her kill, so she can absorb their power. If this drags on too long, once she discovers Chen Tao's actions, unforeseen changes will inevitably occur.
After being bombarded with endless, rambling persuasion and bolstered by the trust he had gained from leading the Justice League in the past, Chen Tao finally swallowed both the entire Justice League and the Dark Justice League whole.
Although the power these superheroes could provide him was less than a drop in the ocean compared to the more than 3000 heroes he had swallowed in the past—of course, those 3 heroes he had swallowed were heroes from the past timeline of the main universe, and their power was incomparable to that of the remnants of the Dark Multiverse.
But Chen Tao wasn't after their power; his main concern was...
Chen Tao spat out several large lumps of mud from his face.
Soon, a brand new "Justice League" and "Dark Justice League" were born.
Next, no matter what Queen Hecate did, Chen Tao could jump in front of her laughing maniacally and utter that famous line from the Bat Who Laughs:
Everything was going according to the Batman Who Laughs's plan!
……
……
……
"Oh, great Empress, your eyes are like the sun, moon, and stars, your..."
"The Bat Who Laughs...right?" Queen Hecate was starting to get impatient. The other party's annoying flattery kept going on and on. It was somewhat interesting at first, but this fool had no restraint, which was undoubtedly getting on her nerves.
She said, "Just tell me why you've come."
"Ahem, my name is Hecate, the Bat of Laughter, Diana Prince. I'm here to recruit you."
Chen Tao coughed twice. When Chen Tao began to try to show those maniacal smiles and put on a fake pair of dark goggles, he looked exactly like the Batman Who Laughs.
"Great Hecate, my Queen, I sincerely invite you to join the Dark Knights and contribute to the fight against the evil in the Light Multiverse."
Chen Tao was a smooth talker, lying without batting an eye. He was telling lies while secretly plotting them.
No one knew Queen Hecate better than Chen Tao. She was different from those like the drowned spirits who had once genuinely wanted to save their world, then, after failing, became so desperate that they attributed their failure to the Dark Multiverse and thus planned to take revenge on the Light Multiverse.
From the very beginning, Queen Hecate's plan was to continuously slaughter more superheroes and absorb their energy to make herself stronger. Therefore, any living superhero was a walking experience pack in her mind.
For Queen Hecate, siding with Barbatos was a gamble that promised her future.
"The Dark Knights?"
Queen Hecate stroked her chin: "If joining would allow me to kill more superheroes, then joining wouldn't be a bad idea."
She stared at the strange man before her who called himself the Bat of Laughter. In fact, Queen Hecate's servant, the God of Terror, had already noticed the Justice League's unusual movements and warned her of what might happen.
Queen Hecate was not as ignorant of this strange man as the other party thought. At least she knew that he was the one who orchestrated the Justice League's trip to the moon. But what were they going to do on the moon?
A trap.
Anyone could have guessed it.
Only a fool would step on that. This Batman Who Laughs has moved all the superheroes away for protection, and then comes here pretending to be a ridiculous court jester, trying to trick Queen Hecate into obeying his orders. Queen Hecate will soon guess what will happen next.
Once you agree to their request, you'll soon be led into their trap under the pretext of "going to see Barbatos" or other reasons.
Queen Hecate chose the White House as the location for her final battle with the Justice League because she had prepared powerful magical runes in the White House lobby, and the presidential seat in the White House inherently represents the country. Fighting in such a place would diminish one's prestige even before the battle begins.
But all of this has been completely ruined by this guy called the Laughing Bat.
Queen Hecate's lackey, the God of Fear, clearly saw him with those Justice League members. No matter how he did it, the Justice League members could not possibly have the audacity to run into the White House, which was already under her control, as Hecate had previously planned.
So, Empress Hecate's only remaining option...
Chen Tao maintained his laughing bat smile, silently assessing Queen Hecate's thoughts.
He was beginning to understand a little of the Batman Who Laughs's fun: setting traps, preparing traps, and then delivering the final, fatal blow.
Empress Hecate reacted quickly.
Since the other party wanted to ambush her, she was fully capable of turning the tables and launching a counter-ambush.
Queen Hecate mentally reenacted the scene of the Justice League besieging him. But most people only know that she possessed Wonder Woman's body, and few know that as a witch goddess, Queen Hecate's magical power and control over spells are in no way inferior to those veteran magic heroes.
If the Bat of Laughter in front of her wanted to ambush her, then she would have to hide all the members of the Justice League in some alternate dimension to avoid detection.
But the Bat of Laughter would never have imagined that Queen Hecate actually possessed the magical power to tear through space at will!
This foolish, laughing idiot knows absolutely nothing about her, yet he's so arrogant as to think he can lure her into a trap with such a shallow plan. But Queen Hecate will soon show him what true cruelty is.
This bastard just talks way too much nonsense.
Queen Hecate had no choice but to tolerate the other party's incessant praise of its master, a demon lord known as the Dark Multiverse Dragon, in various tones and expressions. To be honest, she was utterly disgusted by this endless nonsense, but Hecate dared not urge them on, lest she reveal her impatience.
But the more the other party acted this way, the more certain Empress Hecate was that the other party was completely unsuspecting. She knew she absolutely could not appear too eager; she had to leave the stage to the other party, letting them think that her sweet words had successfully deceived them, and that they had willingly led her into the trap.
Only by encountering the trap can Queen Hecate use her magic to find the hidden superheroes, those who have had their sugar coating peeled off from the sugar-coated bullets.
So Queen Hecate could only sit surrounded by one Amazon warrior after another, making small talk with the man who called himself the Bat of Laughter. She waited for a while, and just when she was almost thinking she was imagining things, she finally heard him make an invitation.
She could get a glimpse of the trap from a distance.
In this world, there are few hidden spells that she cannot break, even those from other dimensions.
"Since you are willing, then I would like to introduce you to our great Barbatos, who is..."
Queen Hecate interrupted the "Bat Who Laughs".
"Where?"
She asked loudly.
Several tens of minutes later, Queen Hecate appeared on the edge of the moon.
In her perception, the existence of another dimension was also very clear.
And within it, the shadows of the Justice League members in this universe are faintly visible.
Yes, they're all here...
Queen Hecate licked her lips with anticipation.
