Chapter 742 The Arrival of the Supreme Little Superman: Flashpoint Timeline, Am I Not Superman?
In fact, the foolish owl had no idea exactly how powerful Barbatos wanted to be to power the cosmic tuning fork.
But at least for now, with Papetua and the Hand of the Void interfering, he was certain that the other side was indeed unable to.
However, this "cannot" is under the premise of ensuring that Barbatos is completely unharmed after the power supply is exhausted.
According to the original idea of the Foolish Owl, I don't care if you, Barbatos, live or die. If you don't have energy, I'll just hang you on the cosmic tuning fork and use you as a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll that brings good weather).
Energy is like water in a sponge; you can always squeeze some out if you really want to.
As for whether Barbatos is half-dead or dies on the spot after being squeezed, that has nothing to do with me, Foolish Owl.
Moreover, thoroughly cleaning Barbatos's body has another advantage:
The reason why Papetua and the Hand of the Void wanted to control Barbatos was simply to take advantage of his powerful strength.
One of them was stuck to the Origin Wall, and the other was blocked outside the universe. Only with Barbatos could they truly have a direct impact on the interior of the DC multiverse.
So his original plan was to use the tuning fork to persuade Superman Supreme, and then take him to beat up Barbatos. But now that Batman has stolen the other half of the Cosmic Tuning Fork's authority, his plan to force Barbatos has been completely aborted.
He is now forced to agree to Batman's plan, otherwise, if Batman is determined to plug the plug into controlling the universe, the core objective of his plan will be affected.
Without the Cosmic Tuning Fork, there would be no plan to defraud Superman, so how could he bring back Superman N through his essence?
Now here's the problem.
The Foolish Owl took a deep breath and then asked, "How do you plan to help Barbatos remove the influence of Papetua and the Void Hand?"
"It's very simple."
Just hearing Batman Dragon say "it's very simple" made Foolish Owl feel uneasy, but he still listened.
Hearing this made him feel terrible.
"As long as we take Barbatos to find the World Maker, defeat him, and let Barbatos completely devour the World Maker's status and become a complete sixth-dimensional god, then the influence of Papetua and the Void Hand on him will naturally collapse on its own."
Oh, this.
Yu Xiao was almost laughing in anger. If he had that ability, wouldn't it be better to just defeat the World Forger and save P Super?
Why bother with Superman, the Cosmic Tuning Fork, and all that going around in circles?
Moreover, if Barbatos had become a complete sixth-dimensional deity, instead of the puzzle that is always missing a piece...
That would be far too powerful! In that case, everyone in the current timeline would be his slaves, all picking cotton in the fields, with Batman/Dragon probably standing by as a wicked official, whip in hand.
Let alone saying he's incompetent, even if he were, he would definitely sabotage Barbatos in secret to prevent him from becoming that strong.
"You know very well that this is simply impossible."
Superman looked at the killing machine next to him.
That's one good thing about Superman Supreme regaining some of his senses; he doesn't offer opinions on things he doesn't understand. When Alexander Luthor Jr. conspired with him to trigger the Infinite Crisis, he entrusted all the questions about the cosmic tuning fork to Alexander Luthor Jr., showing him complete trust.
Oh, of course, Superman's trust comes at a price. If you can't help Superman achieve his goals, you'll suffer a terrible fate.
After the failure of Infinite Crisis, although Alexander Luthor Jr. was killed by the Joker and Luthor from the main universe, Superman Supreme was captured and missed the kill because he was too slow.
But later, when he passed by Earth-15, yes, the hometown of the original Lantern, he saw Lex Luthor from Earth-15, and immediately took his anger out on Alexander Luthor because of him.
As everyone knows, he dragged Luther from Earth-15 out of Luther Tower and burned him into a fireball in space.
He not only killed Luther of Earth-15, but also physically destroyed Earth-15, and incidentally killed the mother of Genie No. 1, thus causing Genie No. 1 to begin his legendary history.
So now that Supreme Superman isn't involved in the discussion between Chen Tao and the Killing Machine, the situation has become that the two of them are now arguing.
"...What else can I do? Without sixth-dimensional energy, am I supposed to fly up and kick those two uninvited guests inside Barbatos to get rid of them...?"
"...You know very well, Batman, that this is all asking the impossible... If I can do it, we can do it, then why..."
"You don't have to do it this way. We can wait and let Barbatos eliminate these disruptors on his own. Although the current timeline is broken, we can help him move to the past timeline and use the history of the time-travel to erase the damage caused by those two people..."
"...Absurd! You yourself know this is impossible! Perpetua and the Void Hand are not affected by the flow of timelines; the only thing that can change them is the history of a trans-timeline! Are we supposed to wait with Barbatos from Infinite Crisis to New 52...?"
"...This won't work, that won't work, what else do you want?"
Time ticked by, and at first, the Supreme Superman listened with great interest. But then he realized that the two people's conversation was about time travel and timelines. One plan after another was proposed, only to be rejected one by one by the other person for the reason that the Supreme Superman couldn't understand it.
In the end, Superman finally lost all patience.
With a hum, a red light sliced a deep trench between Chen Tao and the killing machine.
"Enough, I've had enough of this endless discussion."
The Supreme Superman said, "I'm giving you one last minute. You need to come to a conclusion. If you can't…"
His eyes flashed red, and then he raised his fist: "I'll beat you until there's a result."
Chen Tao: "..."
Foolish Owl: "..."
"Actually, the method we discussed before..." the Foolish Owl said, controlling the killing machine.
"It's not impossible," Chen Tao replied.
"Since Barbatos couldn't retrieve the complete sixth-dimensional godhood from the World Forger, we can trigger the Dark Night Metal and let Barbatos invade the main universe."
"But before that, Superman Supreme must become the Superman of the main universe. Only a universe with a Superman of the main universe is a normal universe. Only his successful invasion can generate crisis power and anti-crisis power. Then, by devouring the energy of the positive matter universe, he can drive out Perpetua and the Void Hand in reverse."
In short, the normal multiverse actually has a lifespan, but when the creator of the DC universe, the mother of the multiverse, Perpetua, made it constantly rebooted.
A normal multiverse is like a human being: strong and healthy, but it will naturally age and then disappear.
However, theoretically speaking, the DC multiverse can continuously restart its own history, just like an old man suddenly sheds his skin and becomes young again. It can live indefinitely and even devour other multiverses. Characters like Shazam were not originally from the DC universe.
(Note: Shazam's original name was Captain Marvel, Captain Thunder. He originally belonged to Fawcett Comics, not DC!)
Therefore, the DC universe is less like a normal human being and more like a vampire, a very strange product among the many multiverses.
So this is what Chen Tao and Yu Xiao are planning at this moment. For the DC multiverse, the emergence of the crisis is like the energy reaction of a steam engine burning.
They have reached a consensus on allowing Barbatos to invade the main universe; the only point of contention is the extent of Barbatos' invasion.
"Make a decision now. You have only 15 seconds."
"50%," Chen Tao said, "Barbatos needs to control at least half of the main universe so that he can completely eradicate the hidden danger within himself."
"Impossible, 10% is enough."
"Absurd, 40%"
"Ten seconds left, you two. I just want the result," said Superman Supreme.
In the eyes of Superman Supreme, no matter what happens, this world will eventually reboot, and Barbatos controlled so much of the main universe...
Is it important?
Of course, Superman Supreme wasn't unaware that the more of the main universe Barbatos controlled, the stronger he became, but ultimately...
He didn't think he would lose to Barbatos.
This idea could be described as arrogance, or it could be described as the invincible heart of the Supreme Little Superman.
Despite the addition of the word "Supreme," he is still Superman, and Superman is an idealist.
"We can compromise, 35%."
"Too many."
"5." The Supreme Little Superman began the countdown.
"How much do you want?"
"I'll just give you a number: 20%. Batman, Barbatos is too strong, it won't do you any good."
25%.
"make a deal."
Chen Tao felt a little regretful, thinking that 1/4 was still a bit too little. In a way, he had a connection with the number 1/4, but the number was indeed just right.
"So you've reached a consensus?"
"Supreme Little Superman asked."
Chen Tao and Killing Machine nodded together.
"very good."
Supreme Little Superman. He hovered between the two of them like Superman, his red cape billowing behind him.
His back was to the sun, half of his face was shrouded in shadow, while the other half of his face...
Bright and dazzling.
"We've reached an agreement, and you should have a general understanding... of the process of saving the world by restarting it."
The Foolish Owl, controlling the killing machine, said, "First..."
"I become the Superman of the main universe, occupying that core, right?"
"Yes," said the Foolish Owl. "It would be best to form a Justice League that is as complete as possible. This is how the Crisis Force and the Anti-Crisis Force are born, and Barbatos will become even stronger."
"Powerful enough to break free from Papetua and the Void Hand," Chen Tao said. "And then it can drive the Cosmic Tuning Fork."
"If he refuses, beat him until he does," the Foolish Owl added from the side.
Then the two of them finished telling the real story, and what followed was all just rambling nonsense.
"...As long as the cosmic tuning fork has the energy to start..."
"...A brand new world will be born soon! Instantly!"
"...My God, you can't believe how fast that will be..."
As the foolish owl spoke, his head was still spinning on its own.
Neither Chen Tao nor Yu Shizhixiao had revealed their plans to each other.
The Foolish Owl knew his plan: once the Cosmic Tuning Fork was in place, he would lure Superman Supreme inside, trick him into manipulating the fork, exhaust him, and then use the essence of New 52 Superman to control him, fusing the essence with Superman Supreme to artificially create a new Superman.
His plan never included helping Superman the Primal to actually reboot the universe, but what about Batman: Dragon?
It's clear that Batman Dragon, like him, has no intention of rebooting the universe, but what does he plan to do with Superman Supreme?
He was completely clueless, but for Foolish Owl, his plan was basically progressing normally, except that Batman had interfered and joined in, turning the two-person trip into a three-person trip.
"Next, we're going back to the main universe. The Superman of the main universe is gone. You have to make everyone recognize you as the real Superman. You have to tone down your temper a bit, Superman Supreme."
He heard Chen Tao say to the Supreme Superman, "I know you don't like this messy, dirty era... I don't like it either, but in order to reboot the timeline, in order to bring back that beautiful golden age, you must learn to speak properly, understand? This shouldn't be too difficult for you..."
That's really thoughtful of you, Supreme Bat.
Through the eyes and ears of the killing machine, the foolish owl silently listened to what Batman Dragon was saying.
There's nothing wrong with any of that. Superman does need to obtain the title of Superman in the current timeline, but the problem is that he only needs to obtain the title. Whether the title is infamous or benevolent doesn't really matter.
Simply put, as long as everyone genuinely believes you are a superman—
Even if you kick down the Eiffel Tower, or Hippie smiles and uses Jews to make soap, people will still think that's what Superman would do, that's just how Superman is, and that's why you're still Superman of the main universe.
He has now altered the timeline to Flashpoint, and Batman is teaching Superman Supreme to be a good guy in Flashpoint... This is destined to be a failure.
So why try to stop it?
"Let's go, we're heading to the main universe timeline now. We'll store the cosmic tuning fork for now."
"I've already spoken with the superheroes in this timeline, and in the end, it's a draw anyway. They now think I have the ability to control Superman Supreme, and that our disappearance here won't change history."
He said.
A few hours later, on the Flashpoint timeline of the main universe.
The three people broke through space.
It landed in a city full of ruins.
Chen Tao: ? ? ?
How did the main universe's timeline become like this?
The foolish owl, controlling the killing machine, also acted innocently.
Everything is going according to plan.
That's what Foolish Owl had always thought, until Batman casually grabbed a surviving civilian: "Hey, you know Superman, right?"
"What Superman? Superman is at the Presidential Palace!"
