Chapter 1034 The Disliked Bat of Laughter
When Dr. Manhattan was not around, Papetua was the greatest threat to the DC multiverse.
For the DC multiverse, he would do anything to stop Perpetua's actions, even creating monsters like Batman Dragon that both harm and save him.
But when the DC multiverse rebels against Perpetua, this obstruction certainly annoys Perpetua.
But if the DC multiverse were on her side now, it would be a different story. This is why Perpetual is so eager to form an alliance with Batman Dragon; she needs to ensure that her actions are seen as protective by the DC multiverse and that she receives their help rather than hindrance. Chen Tao only needs to nod to agree to the alliance with Perpetual, but this would also inevitably make it easier for Perpetual to escape from the wall.
Damn it, it's always so troublesome.
However, Chen Tao quickly adjusted his mindset and soon had a new plan in mind.
If he cannot control Papetua's actions, then bringing him under his control may not be a bad thing.
However, he now needs to have a grasp of Papetua's plans.
"So, what's the plan?"
"I have some members of the Dark Knights under my control, and I plan to send them into the Watchers universe to remotely control its current situation, thereby achieving the goal of suppressing Dr. Manhattan."
That was a very vague statement, and Chen Tao knew that Papetua was deliberately being vague and didn't want to say too much to him.
Since that's the case, then I won't ask anymore.
Chen Tao had no intention of interfering in the conflict between Doctor Manhattan and Perpetua, which would be led by Perpetua himself. His other purpose in allying with Perpetua, and the reward he deserved for selling the "superhero" identity to Perpetua, was—
"The Hand of the Void must never participate in the game at the poker table; I think we can agree on that."
"Yes, absolutely."
Papetua answered.
"I need complete autonomy over the matter of using fake miracle machines to deceive the Void Hand."
Chen Tao said this.
"Can."
Papetu Amin knew this was taking advantage of someone's misfortune, but they both got what they wanted.
Batman Dragon doesn't ask how she will speed up her journey down the Origin Bridge by confronting Doctor Manhattan, nor does he ask what Batman Dragon is trying to do with the Miracle Machine.
Yes, for the miracle machine.
At this point, Batman Dragon asked Perpetual to only provide assistance, while he went to deal with the Void Hand alone, without even bringing the Batman Who Laughs. Could it be that he thinks the Void Hand is more important than Doctor Manhattan? Then there is only one answer: he has ulterior motives.
Such a blatant objective could not possibly be hidden from Papetua, and Chen Tao had no intention of hiding it either.
For Papetua, the Miracle Machine, which looks like a wish-granting machine, is actually a DC multiverse repairer.
Its general function is to restore the DC multiverse reality that has been destroyed by all sorts of monsters and demons. Apart from that, the effects of the miracle machine are proportional to the power of the DC multiverse.
Simply put, as long as the DC multiverse is strong, the miracle machine can play different roles, but if the DC multiverse weakens, the miracle machine will be useless.
Chen Tao thought to himself silently.
If Papetua's ultimate goal is to rule the entire DC multiverse, then he will face the resistance of the entire DC multiverse itself. This resistance will become Manifest Destiny, imposed on superheroes like Chen Tao or Superman, and become a force that stops Papetua.
If someone has a miracle machine, this manifest destiny can also be applied to the miracle machine, but if we have superheroes, why would I apply destiny to a machine?
Therefore, for Perpetula, the Miracle Machine is not important; what matters is the power of the DC multiverse. Both the Miracle Machine and the Batman Dragon are merely means for the DC multiverse to resist.
As long as the DC multiverse is weakened, neither the Miracle Machine nor Batman's Dragon will be able to defy Perpetua's power. Therefore, destroying the Miracle Machine or doing anything to it is meaningless; even if she destroys the machine, DC...
The multiverse still exists, the will of Heaven still exists; whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll still get stabbed, so it's pointless.
The Void Hand pursued the Miracle Machine because over the years he had imitated it to create a Destruction Machine. If the Miracle Machine fell into his hands, he could corrupt it into a weapon against the DC multiverse. However, Papetua never considered or had any plans to modify the Miracle Machine, which is why he was able to so generously hand it over to Batman Dragon.
Even if the other party gets it, so what? As long as Papetua's final plan is completed, she—
She will rebuild from the ashes, creating a new world loyal to her, where all of Batman Dragon's struggles will be meaningless.
After they finished speaking, both sides fell silent for a moment. Both Papetua and Batman Dragon were aware of each other's plans, but their understanding remained vague.
Unable to fully grasp this subtle atmosphere of "I know what you're up to, but I'm not entirely sure," the silence was broken by the laughing bat.
"Wait. Why can't I help fight the Void Hand? If I don't fight the Void Hand, what am I supposed to do?"
Chen Tao curled his lip. The Laughing Bat acted like a new intern who didn't know what he was doing, but everyone knew what kind of person he was.
"Papetua will take you to deal with Dr. Manhattan."
He said, "There's no place for you here."
He looked down at the Laughing Bat with an expression of utter contempt, making no attempt to hide his disgust: "You'd better stay away from me."
The laughing bat turned its head to look at Papetua.
Papetua possessed Cersei's body, his golden eyes flickering slightly.
"No."
she says.
"No way," he laughed wildly.
He acted like an orphan abandoned by both parents, even though he was an orphan to begin with.
Both Papetua and Chen Tao watched the Batman Who Laughs perform quietly. In fact, they both shared the same opinion about the Batman Who Laughs. Even Papetua, who had rushed to ally with the Batman Who Laughs in an attempt to get down from the wall, knew very well how untrustworthy the Batman Who Laughs was.
Seeing that no one spoke, the Bat of Laughter finally dropped his affected, vulgar expression. He stroked his chin and revealed his classic, malicious smile.
"So what should I do next?"
