Chapter 821 Main Universe Bat: I'm Screwing It and Surrender to the World Forger!
"We finally fucking finished building this tower."
Lunch break.
Lianmeng Hal walked into the cafeteria, collected his meal, and then plopped down next to the table.
With a loud crash, his seat collapsed.
"My God, you've gotten even taller."
His counterpart in the main universe, Hal, walked up to him with a plate and looked at his obsidian-like body, which was almost identical to Darkseid's.
The face of the League Hal still vaguely resembles Hal, but his height has swelled to nearly two meters.
The gaze of Hal from the main universe shifted from his face to the third leg between his legs: "God, what are you going to do with your Carol?"
(Note: Carol, Hal Green Lantern's girlfriend)
It seems like the focus is on strange things.
"Oh, leave me alone. I never thought I'd be this annoying." Alliance Hal covered his head.
Then he took a bottle of magic potion out of his coat pocket and gulped it down in two sips.
He quickly returned to a normal human size and then found a normal-sized chair to sit down.
"If you're not going to see your girlfriend right now, I suggest you either drink more of the transformation potion I gave you, or come directly to me for a spell."
William Hand appeared in the restaurant at some point, also carrying a bowl of food: "I'm not very skilled in fifth-dimensional magic, so creating a potion with such a stable effect is really inconvenient, isn't it?"
"Aha," said Hal from the Alliance.
William sat down with the two Hals.
Actually, William is a dead man among them, and Hal of the Alliance has become half Darkseid. They don't seem to need to eat. But the problem is that eating is a habit they had when they were human, and enjoying food is pleasant and a pastime during rest.
Therefore, they are still more used to eating every day.
"Hey, little William," Hal from the main universe asked, "it looks like this tower we're building is almost finished, isn't it?"
"I completely sealed the outer shell today," Alliance Hal mumbled, his mouth full of food. "We've been fixing this for ages..."
He swallowed hard and said, "We've been fixing this for ages and we still don't know what we've actually fixed. Lex, that bald guy, just keeps telling us to hurry up and fix it, all mysterious."
Then he said, "But more than what exactly we fixed, I'm curious about what we'll do next. Anyway, I'm used to Batman not telling us anything, but the preparations we make will definitely come in handy someday."
"Ugh, I still can't accept this," said Hal from the main universe. "Anyway, we've already fixed everything—" He turned to William Hand and said:
"You've been so tight-lipped before, shouldn't you at least reveal a little something now?"
"What exactly is Lex Luthor going to fix on this prehistoric dinosaur era timeline of the main universe right here? We've been in Jurassic Park for so long, can't he tell us when he's done?"
He said, "And you and Luther, you always have all our members secretly building the tower here, while you disappear all the time. What plan are you carrying out this time?"
Then he saw that William Hand didn't answer at all, but just scratched his head and grinned at them, so he finally waved his hand:
"Fine, whatever. I knew you'd look like that. If Luther hadn't let you tell us—"
He was only halfway through his sentence when... Almost simultaneously, all three of their communicators rang, and then Lex Luthor's voice came through the communicator as well.
"Both Hales, and William, come to me. The plan has begun. It's time, William, take them to their posts."
"?"
The two Hales looked at each other in bewilderment.
The main universe's Hal immediately put down his meal: "What? So, we're finally going to tell you the purpose of building this tower?"
Alliance Hal immediately reached for the food in front of him: "Wait, even if I have to work, let me finish my meal first..."
Regardless of their reactions, William Hand immediately stood up.
He reached out and placed his hands on the two Hales. The next moment, the three of them were teleported away and disappeared from the spot, leaving only the cutlery clattering onto the table.
The world twisted.
When the two Hals looked up, they found themselves in the center of the interior space of the tower they had been building all this time.
Countless lights illuminated the tower's pure white interior as if it were daytime, while Hal and the other two...
At this moment, both of them were fixed to a huge machine. The two Halfas had never participated in the creation of this huge machine used to restrain them, and they didn't even know it existed!
Wait... did Lex Luthor deliberately repair this thing behind their backs?
The two Hals were involved in the core construction of this tower, after all, their Green Lantern Ring's ability to materialize was indeed very useful, while William had been in charge of the project of using fifth-dimensional divine power to inscribe magical runes. The reason why the three of them were eating together in the cafeteria just now was precisely because they often worked together.
The two Hals had thought that their knowledge of the tower was second only to Lex Luthor, who designed it, but now it seemed that they had been under Lex Luthor's guidance from the very beginning, building a cage that imprisoned themselves.
The surrounding area was filled with tall, pure white walls and cameras everywhere. The two Hales didn't see William Hand, or even their other teammates.
The two Hales exchanged a glance.
???
"Hey, what's going on, Lex?" Alliance Hal called out. "William? Where are you guys?"
They struggled slightly, but couldn't budge at all.
"I'm sorry, Hal, and I'm sorry to both of you."
Immediately afterwards, the two Hals heard Lex Luthor's voice: "I apologize for this, but in fact, this tower that we spent half a day building... was built for Darkseid within you."
The next moment, Hal's body contorted, and then his expression changed drastically: "It's Darkseid! He's rebelling against me... His will is truly within me—Damn it!"
His body rapidly expanded into a nearly two-meter-tall obsidian giant form, but he did not forcibly break free from the machine's restraints and then go on a killing spree.
While Rasluthor's thorough preparations certainly contributed to this, resulting in the binding machine growing larger, Hal's own willpower was enough to rival Darkseid's.
At the same time, obsidian petrification marks rapidly appeared on Hal's body in the main universe. Hal was startled, but quickly suppressed this change with only willpower and the Green Lantern Ring. He grinned:
"No way..."
His gaze followed the obsidian transformation that spread from his hands to his shoulders, surging toward his heart and brain, but was suppressed by his willpower and the glowing green light ring. From his fingers inward, from his heart outward, the obsidian skin-like form was gradually suppressed to his elbows.
He recalled that he and Alliance Hal had entered each other's mental space together. If Alliance Hal was infected and controlled by Darkseid at that time, then he was probably also infected at that time...
"What the hell? So we all joined forces to build this tower just to keep an eye on the two of us going crazy?"
"Not entirely, our friends."
At that moment, Lex Luthor's enormous face appeared on a screen that had been placed not far away. He stood in the main seat of the conference room, with the other members of the Justice League behind him, and William Hand standing next to him with a somewhat apologetic smile.
"So what other questions are there?" Hal from the main universe said somewhat annoyed, "Just get to the point. How do you plan to heal us?"
"No, no, no, there's no need to treat you right now. And if we want to change you back, we'll at least need to deal with Darkseid himself. We're a bit limited right now. Uh, you might feel some pain later."
Luther said, "Don't worry, once we've healed you both, you'll be absolutely fine."
As he said this, he pulled a hose on the control panel next to him right in front of the two Hals, and then...
Both Hales shouted.
In an instant, a large amount of energy, or rather, Omega energy from Darkseid, poured directly into their bodies from the void. Then, it was drawn from their bodies and continuously poured into a stone seat that rose from the ground not far away.
The two Hales became mere transit points, constantly receiving traffic from somewhere unknown...
Absorb Darkseid's power!
……
……
……
Valley of the Kings, the tomb of Prince Khufu.
No.
It doesn't exist at all.
According to Batman's deduction, the N-metal hammer from Hawkman in the main universe should be enshrined here.
But no, the tomb was empty at this time.
Batman has searched every nook and cranny of the place, opening every hidden compartment, which has taken him a lot of time, but he has found nothing in the end. There must be something wrong with the source of the intelligence.
He turned to face Barbatos:
"Barbatos, why...?"
"I swear I really didn't know anything about it."
Barbatos looked even more surprised than the main universe's Batman: "I clearly... I clearly put the hammer here."
"Superman Supreme could manipulate your physical form at any moment to cause a catastrophic event in the main universe. I'll ask you one more time, what the hell are you doing?!"
"I swear I really didn't. Hawkman is in my hands. I originally planned to use it as a replacement for Batman Dragon... but then the Anti-Monitor came along, so I didn't use it, damn it... but I haven't lost any control over him. His hammer should still be in the tomb, originally intended to lure you here and then force-feed you Bat Gold!"
"And now?!"
The main universe's Batman spared Barbatos, and then, the next second, he suddenly felt someone calling him...
This was not a forced summons; Batman seemed to have already guessed who had summoned him, and he did not resist.
boom!
An unknown, deafening roar rang in Batman's ears in the main universe. He opened his eyes and found himself standing in the lobby of a spaceship surrounded by silver patterns.
Outside the window, there was an endless, vast, and ethereal sea of clouds. Countless seagulls soared among the clouds, sometimes disappearing into the clouds, sometimes bursting out, leaving trails of white against the sky.
The bat in the main universe turned its head.
His tall, imposing body was hidden beneath his cloak, making him stand there like an iron tower.
He looked at the blue giant in front of him.
"I'm glad you didn't resist, Batman. You have the most sophisticated strategic mind in the world, and I'm glad you understand that this path was inevitable."
"The world's forger said."
"I haven't seen it yet, but I'll stay and listen to your explanation. No tricks, no deception, just the facts."
"This is what the main universe's Batman said."
He was as cold as an ice sculpture.
"I know, I understand your feelings all too well, my friend. I was born to observe from afar."
The World Maker stood up and walked to Batman. Beneath their feet, a rift rose in the floor, and azure energy beams emerged, drawing the image of the world before them.
"My eternal task is to create worlds from people's hopes and fears, those that can survive, I bring into reality, and those that are deemed unstable, I recreate."
If there's anything I understand that's the only thing I know:
That is, what can continue, and what cannot.
He said, "This is the only plan that can achieve a just configuration and thus deceive the judges of the universe."
The World Builder said, “Papetua, if the Anti-Monitors and Monitors are allowed to continue like this, when the Cosmic Judge comes to inspect our world, our universe will only be judged as unqualified and then sent to be reworked. And everything before our eyes, what you love, what I love, my world, will all cease to exist and become material for other universes in the omnipotent universe.”
He said, "I think if you were standing in front of me now, and were willing to listen to what I have to say, then you should know and agree with this:"
"We must complete the creation of a brand new universe."
"We must stop Superman Supreme's attempt to reboot the entire multiverse; his actions are enough to disrupt our plans."
The World Forger said, "Therefore you must use the mace and the Darkseid baby to keep Barbatos out of the main universe."
"You need my help."
The World Foundry said, "You need my help to retrieve that N metal hammer."
"And all of this is predicated on..."
"Work with me."
