Chapter 655 Parallax Demon Hal: As you wish, are you satisfied now?
In this chaotic struggle, the Emperor Joker's objectives remained unclear.
Or even just discussing the purpose is absurd for the Emperor Joker.
However, this also put his behavior in a completely uncontrollable and unpredictable state.
Hal dared not let him get close, unsure of the other's intentions; Barbatos had never included the Emperor Joker in his siege plans, because this madman might turn on his teammates at any moment if they didn't pose well enough.
Barbatos dared to use the Batman Who Laughs because, in his view, although the Batman Who Laughs was tainted with the Joker's madness, he was still Batman. His actions were predictable, his logic was clear, only his methods were unpredictable.
But for the Joker himself, everything is a blurry mess. No one can predict what he's thinking. Even Chen Tao didn't expect that he could actually predict the Joker's actions. But if you think that you can know the Joker inside and out just because of this, the Black Death is grinning at you.
Lex Luthor from the main universe and countless unfortunate souls who have worked with the Joker are proving to you that the Joker's favorite thing to do in his life is to help you build your own great achievements, and then smash them to pieces right in front of you.
What's even more dangerous is that the Joker uses "successful prediction" as a psychological "reward," gradually leading you in and making you addicted, involuntarily controlled by him. Former psychiatrist Harley Quinn was a victim; she once thought she had the Joker under her control, but in the end, she became unable to leave him.
The roles of hunter and predator are often switched at the last moment; this is the Joker's favorite trick.
Chen Tao constantly reminded himself that although he disguised himself as a god, apart from his advantage in intelligence, he was not much smarter than those unlucky guys who were tricked to death by clowns.
This time it was just luck, but if he keeps the idea of manipulating the Joker in his mind, even for a moment, it will cause him great trouble in the future.
Even now, the Joker is trying to give him psychological "rewards".
What does "Batman asked me to do this" mean? He knew that Batman would definitely be observing the battlefield, so he said it on purpose. He was trying to create a sense of psychological satisfaction for Chen Tao. Chen Tao saw through his intentions and therefore did not fall for it.
But even if he doesn't fall for it... Chen Tao still can't stop what others will think after seeing this scene.
Parallax Morhal turned to look at the first Lantern.
His back was ripped open by the Emperor Clown's five-dimensional divine power, and energy gushed out like a leaking vent.
To be honest, it wasn't a particularly serious injury, but it was enough to stop the first Lantern Man's attack.
More importantly, being attacked from both sides caused Genie E1 to suddenly lose the opportunity to compete with Parallax Morhal for antimatter cosmic energy.
The dark, shimmering antimatter universe energy, resembling a miniature universe, had been almost completely absorbed out of the body by the First Genie. However, as the First Genie was injured, Parallax Mohal fiercely sucked back a large amount of the energy that had been partially absorbed. With his efforts, the amount of energy that was taken back increased.
As things stand, the antimatter cosmic energy pulled from Hal's body will soon be completely absorbed back into Parallax Demon Hal's body. However, at that moment, the energy that had been stretched out between the two like chewed gum was once again cut in half by an invisible force, like a giant pair of scissors cutting the stubborn lump of maltose into two pieces.
The power that split in two returned partly to Parallax Morhal's body, while the other part rushed into the body of the first Lantern.
In fact, neither Parallax Mohal nor Genie I actually understood just how shocking it was that Genie I stole other people's energy.
Parallax Morhal's "Zero Hour" timeline immediately follows the Anti-Monitor's "Crisis on Infinite Earths." At this point, even Superman Supreme breaking the Crystal Wall and triggering "Infinite Crisis" hadn't happened yet, let alone "Sinestro War" and "Darkest Night."
Therefore, although Parallax Mohal possesses immense power, he actually knows very little about the divine power of the sixth dimension and the higher-level power of the multiverse. Like Superman Supreme, he is a product of extraordinary power, driven by the times, fate, and the underlying logic of the multiverse that "crises must be constantly generated," to reach a level they had never reached before.
Therefore, limited by my limited knowledge, Hal's reaction was that someone wanted to steal the energy within me, so I would fight them in a tug-of-war, and if I won, the energy would still be mine. The word "lose" didn't exist in my dictionary.
But for Barbatos, the energy within Parallax Mohal is the legacy of the Anti-Monitor, a power left behind by a sixth-dimensional god.
Once Hal absorbs this energy, it becomes his own. It's impossible for someone to just jump out, wave their hand, and take this energy away from him. That would be a joke.
Who could do such a thing? If it were so easy to just take energy from someone else, why would Barbatos bother scheming against the Anti-Monitor and Batman Dragon? He could just wave his hand and the energy would be on him. He wouldn't even need to keep them as henchmen. It's much more convenient to keep power on yourself than to have it on someone else. At most, you could keep a few members of the Dark Knights for situations where you need to project energy remotely, and the rest could be laid off.
Barbatos felt a chill run down his spine at this thought. He was already incredibly close to possessing the power of a sixth-dimensional god, yet he remained completely clueless about this method of energy extraction. But Barbatos knew one ironclad rule: only the power of a sixth-dimensional god could counteract the power of a sixth-dimensional god. If the first Genie could do this, it could only mean…
A suspicion arose in Barbatos's mind, and he hurriedly took another bite of the World Forger's corpse.
Ok……
There was no reaction whatsoever.
So what's going on here?
The key point is that Barbatos rose to power by plundering the energy of the World Forger. He is still gnawing on his master's corpse. If someone can extract the antimatter universe energy belonging to Parallax Mohal out of thin air, then it means that it is possible for them to forcibly extract the dark matter energy belonging to the World Forger from Barbatos as well.
Barbatos already had the idea in mind to ambush Genie E., capture him, and find out his secrets.
But now is not the right time, not the best time.
Some corner of the super-time stream.
"Alphius, don't forget our deal." The World Forger, slowly lowering his giant hammer, turned around and saw the Anti-Monitor, even more ethereal than himself, barely managing to conjure a child's smiling face doodle beside him. His illusory face was so ethereal that he couldn't even construct a phantom of the Anti-Monitor's appearance.
Even so, he remains the embodiment of the Antimonitor's will. It was with the Antimonitor's help that the World Forger was able to secretly assist Lamp One in forcibly plundering Hal's antimatter universe energy. Otherwise, even as the eldest of the three brothers, possessing sixth-dimensional energy, he could not have controlled his younger brother's antimatter universe energy out of thin air.
But the outcome of their deal didn't matter. Now, the Emperor Joker's two stabs had nearly punctured the first Lantern, making it impossible to continue fighting for energy. Therefore, the World Forger made the decisive move to split the energy in two, so that at least some gains could be preserved.
"I will never forget Möbius."
The World Forger reassured his brother, "Forget about having a head left, the Anti-Monitor doesn't even have a body anymore, or rather, a body under his control. Look, the body he was supposed to use is now serving as Barbatos's dog."
The World Founder knew he couldn't mention Barbatos, as it would anger the Anti-Monitor, who was also his brother.
"Even without a deal between us, I will help you resurrect from the Hypertime Stream," the World Forger said. "Whether it's you or... on the new Hypertime Stream I forged..."
"Don't mention that name." The Anti-Monitor hates the Monitor to the core. If the Anti-Monitor Demon King and the World Forger can still barely communicate normally, then the Monitor, who stole his duties and authority, has completely evolved into an enemy.
"Alright, you will both become residents of that new world. We will settle your disputes there and maintain the existence of this multiverse. I need the power of both of you. Rescuing you will only benefit me, not harm me."
The World Forger said, "So rest assured, I will not break my promise. When I am resurrected, I will definitely help you escape."
Then he paused.
He left an opportunity for the counter-surveillance person to speak, and the other party did indeed speak.
"But now you need my help, I know." The Anti-Monitor's weakened face stared at the World Forger for a moment, then he finally said slowly, "Don't forget your promise. You're now asking me to use the last of my powers available in the current timeline to help you. If you break your promise..."
"Definitely not," the World Builder said. He knew what the Anti-Monitor hadn't said aloud; if he dared to lie to the Anti-Monitor, then the Anti-Monitor and he would be mortal enemies, just like he and the Monitor.
The World Forger pondered slowly. He needed the universe of Reverse-Flash, a universe containing some of the power of the Flashpoint of the main universe. He also needed to disrupt the hypertime flow, but not too quickly.
From the perspective of the World Forger, Hal's direct descent from the Hypertime Stream seems to align with his goals, causing even greater damage to the Hypertime Stream. However, this is too fast. Before the Hypertime Stream is even fully forged, it collapses, which will only cause his inherently cruel mother to be released from the Origin Wall.
In addition, he has never forgotten that Hal is also a hero. He is currently a virus parasitizing the Hypertime Stream, but when the World Forgers decide to destroy the entire multiverse and establish a new Hypertime Stream, Hal may be transformed into an "immune cell".
Ultimately, for the World Forgers, destroying the Hypertime Stream is not the goal; creating a new one is.
Hal is like a cancer cell, but even a cancer cell cannot accept someone replacing its original cell with a metal robot.
When the World Forger wants to recreate the world, everyone is a remnant of the old world, and he cannot unite anyone except his two sixth-dimensional brothers.
The sixth-dimensional deities can always be reborn in the sixth dimension of the central control room of the multiverse, and even if the hypertime flow collapses, it will not affect them.
If the World Forger wants to realize his vision in the future, Hal will also be an obstacle. If he can be weakened here, Hal will be more than willing to do so.
So when the World Builder and the Anti-Monitor finished their deal, the Anti-Monitor's face vanished into thin air the next moment. Meanwhile, Parallax Mohal, who had just had a small portion of the antimatter universe's energy taken from him by the First Lantern in the Zero Hour, was breathing heavily.
After enduring numerous attacks, Parallax Morhal was covered in wounds, but now he had finally won, and no one could stop him anymore.
He was severely weakened, but he was already so close to success.
The Anti-Monitor Dragon was also seriously injured. Most of the members of the Dark Multiverse Legion were already exhausted. They could no longer threaten the Black Death Emperor Brainiac. No one could stop Hal anymore.
Parallax Mohal no longer glanced at the First Lantern who had stolen his power. Even if the other party had taken some of his power, it would take time to absorb it, and that time would be enough for him to get to where he needed to go.
However, at that moment, he suddenly stopped halfway through his journey.
He turned his head and saw that the power on the first Lantern Knight was beginning to increase infinitely. Countless antimatter cosmic energies were constantly gathering on his body from the void, giving him a power far greater than the power he had taken away.
Damn it, this is never going to end. Are you not even going to act anymore?
Hal almost laughed out of anger, especially when he saw the other person blocking his way.
At this point, Hal still had a hidden ally that he hadn't used, but now he showed no intention of contacting him at all.
He simply said:
"I understand, you won't let me leave."
He said, "Fine, you won't leave then. So be it. Are you satisfied now?"
He bared his fangs, which were almost broken, and his eyes glazed over like a ravenous beast: "But you'd better think this through, because you're the ones who won't let me leave!"
