Chapter 1033 Superhero Papetua, Stop Dr. Manhattan!
"What happened?"
"What's wrong?"
"How is the situation?"
Above the Time Stream, everyone was whispering among themselves. Both Chen Tao and the Batman Who Laughs, Perpetual, knew very well that once the Hanged Man truly overcame their obstacles and rushed into the Watchmen universe, things would no longer be in their or the Hanged Man's control.
No one really knows what the Hanged Man will face, nor does anyone really know how Dr. Manhattan will view this intruder who is trying to spread magic in his world.
The Laughing Bat remained silent. He had anticipated this outcome, so it could be said that this development was within his plan.
He turned to Batman Dragon and said, "No matter what, we still need to work together to suppress the Void Hand's actions. If the Void Hand gains control of the Miracle Machine while Doctor Manhattan is wreaking havoc, it won't benefit either of us."
Chen Tao did not answer immediately. In his previous speculation, his goal overlapped with that of the Batman Who Laughs to some extent, so he was able to form an alliance with the Batman Who Laughs in a practical sense. But now, with Dr. Manhattan's actions, Chen Tao did not believe that the Batman Who Laughs' plan remained unchanged.
However, for Chen Tao, upon realizing that Manhattan had activated the Doomsday Bell, he had already implicitly accepted that Dr. Manhattan would turn him into a giant experience package. Therefore, all his actions would be based on how to extract the largest chunk of experience from this package.
But for the Bat Who Laughs and Perpetua, things were a completely different story!
For them, things are now clear: Dr. Manhattan has been actively allowing the Hanged Man into his world, and the Hanged Man, not long after entering the Watchmen universe, has become a bridge connecting the two multiverses.
Through this bridge, the Watchmen universe is roughly equivalent to the DC multiverse, and Dr. Manhattan, the transcendent being who has always been hidden behind the scenes of the DC multiverse, will finally be able to show his power in the DC multiverse.
Based on Dr. Manhattan's previous experiments, which seemed completely chaotic and incomprehensible to everyone, even Perpetual could not predict what Dr. Manhattan would do next, and the Bat Who Laughs could not manipulate Dr. Manhattan's behavior—or rather, he could only manipulate it indirectly through the Manhattan Bat, rather than directly.
So Chen Tao quickly sorted out his thoughts. The most caught off guard now were the Laughing Bat and Papetua.
The Laughing Bat turned to Chen Tao and said, "Our other ally needs a body."
Chen Tao feigned ignorance: "What? Which other ally is there?"
"You know who our old friend is. She needs a strong enough body now."
"A sufficiently powerful physique?" Chen Tao curled his lip. "I thought the previous lessons had rendered our old friend unable to move."
“Obviously not,” said the Batman Who Laughs. “Oh, to convey her opinion to you, dear Batman Dragon. I think we both know it, so damn, let’s skip this boring part about you acting surprised that I still have ties with Perpetua and get straight to the point. Perpetua needs Cersei.”
Chen Tao had already vaguely guessed that the one most closely connected to magic and Hecate in the entire DC multiverse was female, and unlike Wonder Woman, she was not a member of the immune cells; there was only one.
Chen Tao flatly refused: "Don't even think about it."
This isn't a question of whether it would be beneficial for Chen Tao to have control of Cersei. He couldn't simply sell Cersei to Papetua like that, even if Papetua himself was a super villain.
Above the timeline, from Cersei's perspective, Batman Dragon and the Hanged Man reached an agreement to backstab the Void Hand, but then the Hanged Man suddenly disappeared in front of her, so fast that Cersei didn't even have time to react.
error?
Then Cersei turned her head and saw a dark blue shadow appear in front of her, facing Batman's dragon from afar.
"Come on, Batman Dragon. The deal you made with the Hanged Man is enough to help you find Zatanna and the others. Cersei is no longer of much use to you. Logically, you know that giving Cersei to me is the most useful thing for you."
"You don't think you're in a position to take it from me by force, do you?"
Papetua advised in a low voice, "You'd better be rational."
But Papetua's response was the Batman Dragon with its outstretched wings.
Just as tensions were rising, Chen Tao heard the voice of the laughing bat.
"Hey, wait a minute, you two, before you start tearing each other apart like mad dogs, can you please listen to what our lovely, kind child has to say?"
He clutched his chest: "Maybe love can work miracles."
"Wait a minute, Batman Dragon, there's no need to start a war. The Batman Who Laughs has already told me."
Chen Tao glared at Sercy:
You'd better not say that you volunteered to be a vessel for Papetua.
"I volunteer to serve as a vessel for Papetua."
Chen Tao immediately looked at the Laughing Bat, who shyly revealed a bashful smile, like a girl in her first love, and then waved to Chen Tao with four fingers in a theatrical gesture.
Chen Tao immediately checked whether Cersei's brain was damaged—ah, no, whether the Bat of Laughter or Perpetua had used any means to distort free will, and the final conclusion was no.
"So, Bat of the Laughing, the reason you were able to persuade Cersei must be because you tempted her with something. And Cersei is a crazy and ambitious woman. To achieve her ambitions, she will stop at nothing to satisfy her desires, even if it means temporarily lending her body to Papetua."
Chen Tao's casual analysis revealed how the Batman Who Laughs managed to persuade Cersei in such a short time. It's no wonder he's called the Batman Who Laughs; this is how he uses his persuasive eloquence.
For Cersei, abandoning her physical body was undoubtedly a negative feedback loop, but the Batman Who Laughs restructured the nature of the matter, turning the negative feedback into an investment in the future.
As an ancient monster thousands of years old, Cersei could certainly see through the basic tactics of the Laughing Maniac. The fact that Cersei was still willing to cooperate with the Laughing Maniac showed that he had indeed given her an opportunity to fulfill her ambitions, and she took the gamble and pounced on it.
What more can be said? Cersei, a villager from the DC multiverse, is highly enlightened and willingly lent her physical body to a more powerful creator god to save the entire DC multiverse. Let's award her a small banner.
"We can't let Dr. Manhattan continue to exist. He's now using magic to connect the two multiverses. This time, it won't be the DC multiverse devouring the Watchmen universe, but rather the Watchmen universe devouring the DC multiverse in turn."
"We'll all become the Shazam of the past—" the Bat Who Laughs chimed in. He shrugged. "Hey, what are you looking at me for? Do you think I'm that ignorant of the history of the entire DC multiverse?"
"But in reality, Shazam the Thunder has reappeared in the new DC multiverse, and his history has been preserved upstream in the hyperchronic flow—" Chen Tao stopped halfway through his sentence.
That's right. Upstream of the hypertimestream, due to the existence of the DC Multiverse's hypertimestream, regardless of which multiverse the DC Multiverse merges with, those multiverses will be preserved upstream of the hypertimestream. Then, they officially participate in the history of the DC multiverse, and then, like everyone else, their origins and histories are modified during a reboot, leaving their pre-modification past upstream.
However, the Watchers universe does not have a time-shifting flow at all.
This universe is inherently devoid of the time-travel property. DC was swallowed by the Watchmen multiverse, and everything will proceed according to the Watchmen's history. A large number of living people have never been born, and a large number of superheroes or villains have never gained superpowers. History will be changed and can never be reversed.
"So we must save ourselves," said Papetua, who wore Cersei's face and stared with those dazzling golden eyes. However, Cersei's tomboyish appearance made her radiating golden light and golden eyes seem somewhat odd.
"So, what are the specific methods for self-rescue?"
Chen Tao asked from the side.
"Obviously."
Papetua replied, "I need your help in fighting Dr. Manhattan—"
Chen Tao was somewhat incredulous.
"—In a heroic way?"
"Yes."
Papetua answered.
