What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 1002 The Warrior's Defeat... and Rebirth, I am you, the Laughing Bat
Barbatos stared wide-eyed at the greedy dragon beneath his hood.

What did he see?
Wow, the Golden Legend!!!

A scientist named Bruce Wayne.

But this is not the point.

The key point is that, on this timeline, at least in the future of the individual timeline observed by Barbatos, this scientist Bruce Wayne will become the second Dr. Manhattan.

He will replicate it. He created the accident that led to Doctor Manhattan's death, and then became a Bat-like version of Doctor Manhattan, also possessing quantum powers, becoming an omnipotent quantum god.

Is this...is this even reasonable?
When did our Dark Multiverse acquire something so awesome?

Barbatos was a little dumbfounded, but that didn't stop him from being overjoyed.

How did Barbatos end up here?

Because Batman: Dragon seems to have forgotten about him.

While the World Forgers, Anti-Monitors, Monitors, and others were all recruited by Batman Dragon to fight against Perpetua, Barbatos successfully hid in the World Forge. Everyone was in chaos, and no one paid him any attention.

But this doesn't mean Barbatos is sleeping soundly in the furnace of the world.

Barbatos had been pondering a question: when he sent the main universe Batman to the Dark Multiverse to help him collect dark matter cosmic energy to enhance himself, it seemed that the main universe Batman had done quite a few things behind his back.

If it is now discovered that the main universe's Batman colluded with Batman Dragon a long time ago, does that mean that these things were done on behalf of Batman Dragon, or that the two of them planned it together?

The Dark Multiverse was originally Barbatos's territory, and once he had this idea, he completely lost control.

Barbatos attempts to simulate following the path that Batman from the main universe once traveled in the Dark Multiverse, step by step, in an effort to make some new discoveries, but to no avail.

However, just as he was about to give up, he suddenly sensed a trace of Dr. Manhattan's quantum power surging within the Dark Multiverse.

Barbatos sensed the power of quantum energy at the moment when the Bat of Laughter was kidnapped by Chen Tao and forced to use the power of the quantum bat to help him throw that punch.

Oh, dear detective, dear detective, nothing can be done without a trace.

Barbatos follows the main universe's Batman route, which inadvertently narrows Barbatos's scope of action. Unaware that he is being guided by Batman's Dragon, Barbatos believes that he is clever and ambitious enough to have found the treasure, so he puts in as much effort as possible.

Correct action range + a smart and serious version of Barbatos the Prodigy + active use of the Laughing Bat, revealing it to Barbatos =
Barbatos found that universe.

Barbatos was overjoyed.

He immediately enveloped the universe with his body, realizing that the Quantum Batman was not yet fully formed. Therefore, his next step was to nurture the Quantum Batman as much as possible and then acquire its power…

What followed?

Hehehehehehehehehehehehehe!

The entire DC multiverse must submit to the shadow of Lord Barbatos. Barbatos was almost moved to tears. He had actually picked up such a huge advantage while walking down the street. Although the fruits of this victory were not yet fully ripe, they were already making Barbatos extremely excited.

As expected, Barbatos, who loves to laugh, is lucky. He was walking down the street when a huge gift fell from the sky. From now on, Barbatos will be the guardian spirit of this victory. The whole world will be protected in his arms, and he will be afraid that it will be damaged in the slightest.

Barbatos had made up his mind: even if the sky were to fall, he would protect this universe, control this universe, until…

The day the fruit ripens!
……

……

……

The Laughing Bat.

Who is he?
We need to define maniacal laughter.

Strictly speaking, the behavior of the maniac laugh is very illogical; he is an empty, two-dimensional character, and most of the time no one knows what the maniac laugh really wants.

His behavior looked more like aimlessly stirring up poop, then laughing stupidly.

But the Batman Who Laughs is not the Joker, but Batman, albeit a crazy one—and the concept of Batman is that Batman always wins.

Therefore, Laughter became a top predator, eliminating any potential enemies who might threaten him, manipulating everyone at will, turning them into his puppets, controlling everything, and driving everyone mad.

The Laughing Bat is the true hero, the one who rescued everyone from their boring journey and brought them into a new realm of joy. Isn't that justice?
To some extent, both Batman: The Dragon and Batman Who Laughs embody extreme control. The former is so arrogant that he tries to control everything to make things go in a positive direction, while the latter is so manic that he intends to bring everything under his control.

“You want to drag me down as a sacrifice to death. You intend to use me as a price to complete the story of sealing Papetua back to the Origin Wall.”

The Batman Who Laughs finally realized what Batman was up to. He never intended to let him go; from beginning to end, Batman considered the Batman Who Laughs the greatest threat he needed to face.

“Idiot! Papetua is the bigger threat, I’ve already said that…”

The Batman Who Laughs shut up. He had said it many times before, but Batman Dragon killed him, and that was something that words could not sway.

The other side launched a desperate attack on him, and now the only thing that Laughing Fortune can do is escape. There is no need to say more now.

But there was one question that the Laughing Bat could never understand.

What makes you think I can do it?

The Bat of Laughter asked, "What makes you think I can help you throw that punch? And what makes you think you can so easily merge into my body... It's all illogical!"

The Bat Who Laughs couldn't understand it, so even now, he still wanted to ask this question.

The reason I could merge into your body is because of the skull you once discarded. As for why I felt you could help me throw that punch...

Of course, it's because I've read the comics.

The Batman Who Laughs' actions seem mysterious and unpredictable, but dear detective, I have told you before that there is no such thing as an action that is completely undetectable.

If you already know that the Batman Who Laughs can make contact with Doctor Manhattan and is trying to secretly cultivate a Batman Manhattan in the Dark Multiverse, then follow the process of finding the answer, do you think you can find it?

However, Chen Tao certainly wouldn't answer Laughing Bat truthfully.

He had long expected the Batman Who Laughs to ask such a question. The Batman Who Laughs was, at heart, a twisted control freak who, even in dire straits, could not shake his tendency to try to control everything, just like Chen Tao himself.

He will definitely try to figure it out; he can't stand that Batman Dragon won out of his control.

But look, what's the most interesting thing? I knew your personality all along, what would surprise you, what would make you reluctant to part, and even knowing that I couldn't tell the truth, you would still try to ask and try to find what you consider to be the "truth" in my words... I had completely anticipated all of this.

"You really want to know? The Bat Who Laughs? Are you really ready to know the truth?"

He said.

Kuangxiao sensed something was amiss. He was uncertain whether he should listen or whether Batman was serious.

But that twisted desire for control still compelled him to say, "You tell me."

Then he saw the head that had grown on his body begin to deform, gradually transforming from a twisted dinosaur head into a normal human head.

A black, silky bat-like hood took shape on the head, making Batman Dragon's appearance as ordinary and familiar as could be...

Batman image.

“You see… The Bat Who Laughs, you’ve been thinking about who your real enemy is. You’ve thought about it, and I’ve thought about others too: the Worldmaker, the Anti-Monitor, the Monitors, and so on…”

The maniacal laughter suddenly felt somewhat eerie.

Because Batman's tone of voice kept changing.

Chen Tao hasn't given a performance with such complete focus in a long time.

It's been a long time.

His tone kept changing, from a normal blues tone, then gradually becoming manic, yet he tried hard to suppress it...

Just like the Batman Who Laughs, when he was infected with the Laughing Virus, he didn't go crazy right away, but rather went through a process of gradually losing his mind.

And now Batman: Dragon is showing him this process.

"But none of them can be considered your true adversaries, can they, Bat of the Laughing? You've never truly regarded anyone as an adversary, but merely as minor obstacles to your ultimate goal of controlling the entire universe."

You never thought anyone was qualified to be your true opponent, but in fact, Laughing Maniac, despite being a master of time manipulation and a fraudster who has deceived everyone, you still have an ultimate opponent…

The Batman Who Laughs saw Batman Dragon remove his mask.

The hood melted away like ice and snow, revealing a face beneath that was exactly like his own, belonging to Bruce Wayne:
"Hahaha—hahahahahahahahaha! The Bat Who Laughs, Bruce Wayne, don't you understand?"

His laughter was almost uncontrollable, making him tremble: "You're lying!"

"...I am you! The Bat of Laughter!"

"Bullshit!"

"Batman's Dragon Chen Tao is actually just Bruce Wayne, not yet completely corrupted, deep within the Batman Who Laughs. Batman Who Laughs, you probably never thought that you've told so many lies, but only when facing your Alfred—"

Hey, guess what? You told him the truth! Deep down, there's a part of you that hasn't been completely corrupted by the Laughter Virus; the person you are now isn't the real you!

"Lies, all lies!!!"

The Bat of Laughter is going mad, no, he's already going mad, no, he's already mad, to hell with him, he's been mad for a long time, that's not what I mean, he's @#$^%!$#……*%￥@34%#!
The Laughing Bat immediately scanned his entire body, examining each of his personalities.

Only the Bat-family personalities from his memories appeared in his body, along with the few that Batman forcibly inserted into him.

That's complete bullshit. There's not a Bruce Wayne personality inside him at all, let alone any real Bruce Wayne. He is Bruce himself, the Bat who laughs.

Of course, the Batman Who Laughs couldn't find the Bruce personality, because the Bruce personality within him hadn't yet developed and matured.

It would be strange if the laughing bat could discover a seed that had only been watered but had not yet sprouted in his haste, and so he found solace in that.

He refuted Batman Dragon's claim with facts: it was impossible for a real Bruce to exist within him, and the so-called real Bruce from the future could not have traveled through time to the present to stop him.

Moreover, the very structure of the time-travel system proves that even if there were such a Bruce, it would be impossible for him to return from a future that has never even taken shape.

The Laughing Bat gradually calmed down, and his intelligence began to return.

Batman: Dragon's nonsense almost fooled him, giving him a huge surprise, but in the end it was nothing more than a complete lie.

Ignore all the nonsense they're spouting, and whatever their source of the Batman Who Laughs's detailed plan and his trump card, and then they're lying and deceiving themselves here—

No, perhaps the other party only knows that he has a trump card, but doesn't even know what it is, and is just making empty boasts and deceiving people.

The simplest way to prove this is that the Batman Who Laughs has actually merged with the Quantum Batman in a real sense; what remains is merely a brain transplant surgery that is more symbolic than practical.

Can Batman Dragon connect with Quantum Batman? He can't, so it's all nonsense. The fact that he can't connect with the other in the timeline like the Batman Who Laughs proves that it's all just a hoax.

Chen Tao was also very anxious. Why hadn't Barbatos found that universe yet?

The main universe's Batman cannot be found because he is not a creation of the sixth-dimensional god. Chen Tao also dares not let the world forgers and other sixth-dimensional gods discover that universe, so dear Lord Barbatos becomes the best candidate.

His Batman Dragon is, after all, a follower of Barbatos. If Barbatos could find the universe with the Quantum Batman, then Chen Tao would also know it.

His identity as the Anti-Monitor Dragon allows him to be above Barbatos, so everything is ready except for Barbatos's help in finding something.

Barbatos is the ruler of the Dark Multiverse. When it comes to understanding the Dark Multiverse within the DC Multiverse, even the World Forger himself cannot compare to Barbatos, who has been managing this junk for many years.

If Barbatos can be found, Chen Tao will be able to borrow a small amount of the quantum bat power from that timeline, and then...

Then his expression immediately changed.

His laughter was radiant, a laughter that aroused suspicion in the bat of laughter.

Hehe, Barbatos did it!

He successfully found that universe.

Then, the familiar blue light of the Bat of Laughter lit up his palm.

The Laughing Bat was silent for a moment: ...

Followed by.

ah? ? ? ? ? ? ?
