Chapter 701 The Emperor Clown Misses the Bat
"Please, brother, are you throwing a tantrum? I'm only saying this one last time."
"sit down."
The Emperor Joker is lying in a junkyard underground in Gotham City during the main universe of The Flash Rebirth.
Essentially, he is now a fifth-dimensional being, and trapping such an imaginative being is not an easy task for the Anti-Monitors who are currently unable to leave the Crisis on Infinite Earths era.
But that doesn’t mean the counter-surveillance agents are helpless. The Emperor Joker is like a venomous snake that can crawl around freely in a cement road that hasn’t dried up. He can’t keep an eye on the other person all the time, so he might as well just throw the other person into a dried cement road and hammer them in like a nail.
The events of *The Flash: Rebirth* take place roughly before *Darkest Night*, during the *Crisis on Infinite Earths* era. Reverse-Flash, Barry Allen's "wife"—his nemesis, Alberdswan—is rescued from the Speed Force. He had originally melted during the *Crisis on Infinite Earths* battle against the Anti-Monitor.
In this incident, because the Speed Force was opened by Reverse-Flash, the Anti-Monitor Dragon was able to throw the Emperor Jester here from downstream of the Hypertime Stream.
"Sit down," the Emperor Joker repeated his command.
He was holding a small French fry in his hand.
Beside the garbage heap, a rat stared blankly at the pale-skinned man wearing a strange crown. It tried to eat the fries, but the Emperor Joker tapped it on the forehead.
"So stupid and cute, uh, just like my life, right?" the Emperor Joker said. "If I were a mouse, I might go on a date with you."
He finally handed the fry to the mouse and watched it eat it.
The rat snatched the fries from the Emperor Joker's hand and then tried to disappear into the shadows of the garbage heap.
The clown sat there nonchalantly, watching as the rat, after walking a short distance, bumped into some kind of transparent barrier and scrambled around in a panic.
Those are the powers left behind by the Anti-Monitor Dragon, a transparent energy barrier.
The Emperor Joker isn't incapable of breaking through these forces, but if he did, he would be immediately detected by the time-traveling system as "an error at the wrong time" and teleported back to his original location. (i.e., the Superman: Emperor Joker era)
The Emperor Clown heard a voice say in his ear, "It's good to see you making friends, and the rats back home seem quite happy to have company, but the problem is..."
"Do you really think Batman Dragon will come to your rescue?"
He turned his head and saw the troublemaker floating listlessly above him, yawning widely: "We've been stuck here for who knows how long!"
"Don't speak ill of him," said the Emperor Joker. "You know him nothing like I do. I gave you back 1% of my power to make you appear before me, just so you could amuse me, not so you could question my bat."
He snapped his fingers, and the troublemaker instantly transformed into a red-nosed clown costume, then with a bang, he returned to his original form.
"As for whether Batman will come to my rescue?"
The Emperor Joker said, "Oh, is that even a question? My Bat will charge over like Rambo and stuff lead weights into that damned head of the Anti-Monitor Dragon!"
He chuckled nervously, "Then he'll hold me in his arms, put his arm around my neck, and we'll be making out like crazy for hours."
He said, "After we're done, we'll grind those bastards to dust and feed them all to Barbatos!"
……
……
……
The promise of the Anti-Monitor Dragon could not ultimately sway the mind of the First Lantern.
Things have come to this point, and the first Lantern Knight is ready.
"Mobius will be furious." After ensuring that the anti-monitor's willpower had completely left Parallax Mohal's body, the World Forger finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was constantly worried that his brother would go berserk and fight him to the death at all costs, which would make things difficult for him even with the help of the first Lantern.
But the worst didn't happen. The World Forger dared not leave even a trace of the Antimonitor Dragon's antimatter cosmic energy in Parallax Morhal's body. What he wanted was a pure body, completely under his control, not mixed with the power of others.
But just as the World Forgers were trying to find the three-quarters Dark Multiverse Dragon slot within the Anti-Monitor Dragon, they found nothing.
He hadn't even found the location of that thing; it had mysteriously appeared and disappeared without a trace, vanishing along with the Anti-Monitor Dragon.
The World Forger frowned. His brother, like him, was a sixth-dimensional god; it wasn't surprising that he could do these things. He didn't have time to dwell on such matters; ensuring his own plans was paramount.
The World Founder turned around and grabbed Brainiac by the neck.
As the first Lantern Man watched him grab the neck and shake it gently, Brainiac's eyes cleared up a bit.
Is it some kind of memory manipulation? Or some kind of control?
Immediately afterwards, the First Lantern heard the World Forger say to Brainiac, "This is what we agreed on before, what I promised you, Brainiac. Parallax Morhal is right in front of you."
Brainiac nodded, as if they had actually made some kind of deal or promise before.
The first Lantern Man can confirm that, before today, Brainiac, like him, was also seeing this powerful god who claimed to be the world's creator for the first time.
Brainiac walked up to Parallax Morhal.
"The Parallax monster needs a new host," the World Forger said.
The first Lantern felt a surge of power... He had never felt so strong before, not even when he seized the power of HAL's antimatter universe.
The entire emotional spectrum surged and leaped, surrendering to him and contributing its power. The first Lantern Knight reached out, and strands of emotional spectrum energy extended into the void like octopus tentacles, which then wrapped around Parallax Morhal's body.
Parallax Morhal had been controlled by the World Forger and had completely lost his self-awareness, but he still screamed in agony despite the intense pain.
"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!"
He was in excruciating pain, but as he regained some of his self-awareness, he looked at the World Builder and cried out, "No, no!"
"It's time to let go..."
The World Forger had barely uttered half a word when he took a slight step back, his blue face, now transformed into a black lamp corpse by the power of the Black Death Emperor, showing a hint of surprise.
He saw that the Parallax Demon Hal suddenly shone brightly, with countless green rays of light making Hal look like a small green sun, even making his black-light corpse appearance shine.
This sudden burst of energy took the first Lantern Knight by surprise.
"No, I am absolutely not a pawn in your hands, no, a plaything you can manipulate at will. You've mistaken your target, you treacherous villain hiding behind the scenes!"
Parallax Mohal recited the Green Lantern Oath, and the green light grew even brighter! Completely reaching the heavens!
"The sun shines brightly... the night is dark and boundless..."
He created a gigantic fist that sent the World Forger flying like a cannonball.
"The wicked and wicked...fear my divine light!"
He roared loudly, and even though the first Genie could use his emotional spectrum to eliminate Hal's attack, he was still forced to retreat desperately.
"May the green light always shine, forever!!!"
A massive green light engulfed the World Founder, Genie Number One, and Brainiac!
10 minute later.
Hal lay on the ground like a dead dog.
A giant yellow beast with fangs was pulled out of its body.
Hal's body melted like molten candle wax, and his violent screams seemed to echo for a moment, or perhaps for centuries.
Finally, Parallax completely separated from Parallax Malcolm's body and, under the control of Genie A.E., merged into Brainiac's body.
"Very good. Now you will go and take what is rightfully yours," the World Forger said. "Go, reclaim that Flashpoint Earth of the Dark Multiverse. After that, your mission will be complete, and you can prepare for the Multiverse Fusion."
He said, "The time has come to draw upon the power of the trans-temporal flow."
"The death of the New 52 Superman will be the tipping point for all plans."
……
……
……
The time-lapse game has crashed again.
But it didn't completely collapse.
The monitor was thinking silently.
The World Forger's act of extracting the Parallax Monster from Parallax Demonhal's body has caused an extremely serious and disastrous consequence:
Parallax Morhal is completely unable to return to the Zero Hour era to do what he was supposed to do.
The collapse of the hypertime stream originally required time. As long as the original characters were put back into their original positions in the hypertime stream before a new timeline branch appeared, the new timeline branch would be erased.
For example, Superman could temporarily leave during the "Death of Superman" period, which would create a new timeline. When he returned, this new timeline would disappear, and things would continue to develop as before.
Although Parallax Demon Hal had left his position in "Zero Hour," the Hypertime Flow could still pre-determine a future where "Hal will return to his position one day," thus ensuring that the main universe's history would not collapse and guaranteeing the integrity of subsequent histories such as "Infinite Crisis."
Even if new timelines occasionally branch off, they will be completely erased once Hal returns.
The problem is that "Hal's return" has become the cornerstone of the main universe's hyperchronic history. If this premise is destroyed by the World Forger as it is now, the hyperchronic flow will no longer be able to achieve logical consistency.
But why do you say it hasn't completely collapsed?
"Damn it..." the monitor cursed inwardly.
The World Forger had already calculated that he could fill this gap. He knew that his brother had been protecting the entire history of the trans-timeline, even going so far as to disperse his power and become part of the Watchers race.
His power over the Hypertime Stream is enough to fill the hole created by the World Forger.
The Monitor from the Crisis on Infinite Earths era trembled, and then his body split into two.
One of them flashed and instantly transformed into Parallax Morhal.
The Watcher's clone broke through the time-travel history and arrived in the "Zero Hour" era.
He was not rejected by the Hypertime Stream because the Monitor split himself into a race within the Hypertime Stream; he was no longer "one," but "a group."
A group of people can enable the monitors to find the "hyper-time stream ID" at any point in the hyper-time stream, without having to ask Barbatos for a fake ID like the anti-monitors do.
The Watcher repeats what Hal was supposed to do in "Zero Hour," which temporarily solidifies the logical consistency of the time-travel narrative.
"But this doesn't come without a price..." The Monitor frowned deeply. He had expended too much power during the Zero Hour, which would leave him with insufficient strength to suppress another crisis...
Things are always like this: when resources are stretched thin, under macro-control, if resources are tilted towards one place, it will inevitably cause another place to lose the resources it should have received.
"Dark Watcher" Mandrakrah is the part of the Watcher that was infected by the celestial blood used by his mother, the multiverse mother Papetua.
The monitor carefully assessed the current situation in his mind.
The event of Mind Control and the Dark Watcher Mandrakal must not deviate from its conclusion. This is a crucial turning point, no less important than the disappearance of Parallax Morhal.
The timeline faced the threat of collapse during that crisis, and was even forced to summon the incredibly powerful, bug-like robot, the "Machine God," to destroy the malignant tumor that is the Dark Watcher, Mandraklak. If this part of history is altered or collapses, the surging flood will be completely unstoppable.
But he can still hold on for now, and he knows that the world's forgers have already taken care of the situation that he can hold on for now.
The other party had been preparing for a long time, and every detail was calculated perfectly.
The observer read through all the history that had occurred before the time traveler descended in an instant. Everyone who jumped around ended up in the palm of the world's creator.
His brother, the Anti-Monitor, went so far as to act as Barbatos's lackey, but in the end, he was still manipulated at will.
That's really impressive, my brother.
The monitor thought silently.
But he also realized what the World Maker wanted to do. The World Maker wouldn't let the Hypertime Stream collapse now, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to time this crucial point in time. Even the Anti-Monitor had factored this in.
For the monitors, as long as they ensure the time-lapse doesn't collapse for the time being...
So there will always be a chance to win back.
Or rather, he was also very curious...
With so much that the World Forger has acquired, is his plan to fight against their mother, the Multiverse Mother Papetua, truly feasible?
