Chapter 1079 The Laughing Bat, you're definitely not dead, don't think I don't know.
Frankly, there's no reason for Papetua to work with Batman Dragon again.
She is the origin of the DC multiverse. Doctor Manhattan's devouring of the DC multiverse cannot erase her history. Batman Dragon has no way of offering her any bargaining chips to cooperate with him, nor does he have any way to persuade him to deal with Manhattan.
If she could just quietly watch Batman Dragon help her weaken Manhattan and then die, why would she take matters into her own hands?
Even though the World Makers gave the DC multiverse's timeline a major severance from the New 52 era, the upstream of the timeline, Papetua never wavered in his idea of watching Batman Dragon perish first.
Of course, there are deeper considerations involved. If the biggest immune cells of the DC multiverse, such as Batman Dragon, are destroyed, and Superman in the main DC universe also loses the power to fight back, the DC multiverse will not be able to find an object to whom it can place its destiny.
At that time, even if Perpetua and the Void Hand were evil, it would still be better than letting Doctor Manhattan devour the entire DC multiverse.
Papetua was waiting for the DC multiverse to submit to him out of desperation, but now the actions of the World Forger have permanently changed that.
"What?"
Compared to enemies, traitors are always more hateful, especially traitors born of one's own flesh and blood. Every day, Papetua wished he could stuff the World Maker back into his body.
But there are no "what ifs," and Papetua could only accept it.
"What exactly do you want from me?"
Papetua knew that saying such things would make him appear powerless and put him at a disadvantage in the negotiations, but Papetua didn't care.
The current situation has long since transcended the realm of using negotiation to gain personal advantage. Everyone has reached the point of playing their cards openly. For example, even if Batman Dragon were to ramble on and on, Papetua would never "help me confront Doctor Manhattan head-on."
"Don't even think about it." Papetua refused decisively: "I would never do such a thing. If you have such thoughts, our cooperation ends here."
"Even if it meant allowing the world's creators to master quantum power?"
"It's just one more person in the card game."
Chen Tao stopped using useless sophistry. He knew that Papetua had stated his bottom line directly, and it was absolutely not to be crossed.
However, Chen Tao never expected Papetua and Dr. Manhattan to confront each other head-on.
"Alright, let's try another scenario. Perhaps we can reach a consensus: the World Forger must never possess quantum divine power. I need your help to defeat the World Forger—if I said that all quantum divine power must belong to me, would you agree?"
Papetua gave him a knowing look.
Chen Tao's expression was very calm.
"I can share a bit of quantum divine power with you from the future, but I must possess the Manhattan Bat and that Dark Multiverse. This is the key to me dealing with Doctor Manhattan. You also hope that Doctor Manhattan and I will both be severely injured, right? Although I will not actually be severely injured."
When Papetua heard Batman Dragon say, "I will win because Batman will keep winning, and in a way, that's the funniest joke,"...
Papetua dismissed Batman: Dragon's nonsense.
Her mind was completely occupied with the World Forger and Quantum Divine Power, and she had no interest in thinking about what Batman Dragon was saying. She was completely unaware that Chen Tao's words were not directed at him at all.
"Yes, but I absolutely cannot end up with nothing."
Papetua said, "In return, I need half of the quantum divine power to deconstruct Dr. Manhattan's power."
""
"I'll give you a quarter at most."
"make a deal."
Neither side exchanged many words. It wasn't that they didn't want to argue, but Dr. Manhattan was pressing them relentlessly, and neither of them was in the mood to argue.
What's the point of wasting time and effort fighting for a pittance if everything comes to nothing after Dr. Manhattan arrives?
Then Chen Tao and Papetua looked at the Void Hand, who was standing silently to the side.
"I also want a quarter of the quantum divine power."
"I'll give you 1/8 at most."
"make a deal."
He's ruthless and doesn't talk much; everything is that simple.
"Before we set off together and tear the world-forgers apart like mad dogs, I have two questions."
Chen Tao said.
"Speak."
"Where did the Bat of Laughter go?"
"He's dead."
"You killed him?"
"right."
"oh."
Chen Tao lowered his eyes and faced Papetua, which completely confirmed his suspicions.
Cunning, cunning—
The laughing bat, ha ha ha.
Chen Tao thought to himself.
"And the second question?"
He came to his senses.
"You stole the Miracle Machine, and I know you're using it to forge a Destruction Machine."
Chen Tao looked at the Void Hand, then turned to Papetua: "Do you know what the Destruction Machine's effect is?"
Papetua did not speak.
she does not know.
She didn't even know that the Void Hand possessed something called the Destruction Machine.
"You've never used your Anti-Death Equation. What are the effects of that thing?"
Chen Tao asked again.
The Void Hand remained silent.
Papetua remained silent.
?
What? What anti-death equation?
Papetua knew nothing about it.
Yes, Papetua shouldn't know, Chen Tao thought silently. The Anti-Death Equation and the Destruction Machine were information he learned from comics in his previous life, but now, the Void Hand has never revealed the existence of these two.
Chen Tao had already realized that Papetua had actually relaxed his vigilance against the Void Hand, which was why he deliberately revealed the danger of the Void Hand in front of Papetua at this moment.
This is a reminder to Papetua, and also an attempt to sow discord between the two, but both of them have to eat it.
Chen Tao guessed that the reason why Papetua and the Hand of the Void were able to maintain their alliance for so long and not fall out after all this time must be because the two of them had signed some treaty that was also binding on both of them.
Such a treaty could very well bind transcendent beings like Papetua. Chen Tao wasn't sure; it was all speculation. But regardless, even if this treaty could indeed bind them—
When Papetua discovers that the Void Hand, whom they had always thought was a subordinate, is secretly plotting something so sinister, it's only a matter of time before they turn against each other; no amount of alliance or constraint will matter.
Every covenant, from the moment it is established, is on a countdown to being torn apart: no matter how great the constraints, as long as one is determined to break free, escape is only a matter of time.
Chen Tao sowed the seeds of division, appreciating the sight of Papetua not asking and the Void Hand not speaking, barely managing to maintain their alliance.
"In short, although I think we can handle it, we'll just have to be on the safe side."
Chen Tao said, "I'll go and distract the World Forger first, then you guys launch a sneak attack on him, understand?"
He repeatedly emphasized, "A sneak attack! It must be a sneak attack!"
