Within the melting pot of the world.
"Get them!"
Barbatos extended his sharp, withered giant claws from beneath his cloak, pointing them at Parallax Morhal and Superman Supreme, who were fighting together not far away. His cloak had some black scorch marks, but he hadn't suffered too much damage.
As he forcibly recalled the [Dragon Barbatos] to aid him in battle, his power was greatly restored.
At his command, the Anti-Monitor Dragon roared uncontrollably and pounced directly at Superman Supreme.
"No, damn Barbatos, our previous agreement was that we would each have half the control over this puppet!"
"What? I don't understand what you're saying," Barbatos said.
While he was giving perfunctory replies to the anti-surveillance personnel, he was also inwardly furious and horrified.
It's certainly not for the purpose of countering surveillance.
When he recalled the Anti-Monitor Dragon, he noticed that the damned Batman had taken away a portion of his power!
Actually, when Batman merged with the Anti-Monitor, the energy of the [Batman Anti-Monitor Barbatos Dragon] that appeared was very complex, mainly composed of the following parts.
1. The power of 3,000 heroes. This is pure positive matter energy, which Barbatos has absolutely no control over.
2. Barbatos granted the Anti-Monitor dark matter energy, and Barbatos also granted Batman dark matter energy through the Anti-Monitor's heart. Barbatos had complete control over these energies.
3. The anti-monitor projects antimatter energy from upstream of the hypertime stream onto its puppet. This energy belongs to the anti-monitor and is beyond Barbatos's control. However, he has control over the [Barbatos the Dragon] avatar, and he can actively prevent the anti-monitor from projecting more from upstream of the hypertime stream, as easily as turning off a running tap.
The combination of these three energies, along with the complete [Barbatos Dragon] status bestowed by Barbatos, gave Chen Tao the powerful ability to slap the unsuspecting Parallax Morhal and Superman Supreme into the World Furnace.
In fact, Barbatos had already begun to regret his decision. In order to persuade Batman, he voluntarily relinquished control of his share of the Barbatos Dark Matter energy among the three powers.
This action allowed Batman to harness two of the three energies, completely shattering his plans with a single blow. He even managed to steal a quarter of his personality through the splitting, and then used the positive matter energy of 3000 heroes to purify the personality.
Therefore, I, Barbatos, will not make the same mistake a second time.
"Damn it, you broke your promise, Barbatos!"
Barbatos completely ignored the Anti-Monitor's rage. The Anti-Monitor dragon was now dented from being punched by Super-Supreme's iron fist, and repairing these damages consumed the Anti-Monitor's antimatter energy!
Due to its unfortunate splitting, the Anti-Monitor Dragon now possesses 3/4 of the Barbatos Dragon, along with Anti-Monitor energy and Barbatos energy.
However, Barbatos' energy not only contains what he previously gave to the Anti-Monitor Dragon, but also what Batman swallowed whole in his heart. Therefore, the proportion of Barbatos' energy is far greater than that of the Anti-Monitor Dragon, not to mention the suppression from the controlled personality. The Anti-Monitor Dragon simply cannot refuse Barbatos's orders.
While the Antimonitor attempted to inject more antimatter energy into the puppet from upstream of the hypertime stream, Barbatos waved his hand and cut off the infusion, like actively tightening a faucet. If necessary, he would loosen it slightly, using the Antimonitor's own body purely as a water tank.
He consistently maintained the antimatter energy within the Anti-Monitor Dragon at a level that wouldn't dissipate but couldn't cause any significant disturbance. He then continuously consumed the Anti-Monitor's energy, thus achieving a free benefit.
Barbatos has learned his lesson from his previous mistake of handing over control of his energy to Batman, which backfired. He won't do it again this time.
As for those who oppose surveillance using abusive language?
That's like letting out a fart.
Our agreement didn't say you'd lose to Batman.
I need to deal with these two troublesome guys quickly. If I can make it in time, I might still have a chance to settle scores with Batman.
And now is indeed a good time.
While Barbatos was confronting Parallax Morhal head-on, he silently watched Superman Supreme battle the Anti-Monitor Dragon.
Then, in the next instant, all the members of the Dark Knights except for the Batman Who Laughs poured out of the portal behind Superman and pounced on him.
In the Dark Multiverse, the Dark Knights are immortal. Superman Supreme may be able to destroy them, but he cannot kill them.
With the addition of Kryptonite dust from the Primal Earth in a certain dark multiverse, and the Dark Knights weakening Superman Supreme through a suicide attack, he will soon be able to banish Superman Supreme back to his timeline.
(Note: This world refers to the Dark Multiverse Saga: Infinite Crisis, where a weak Superman Supreme was killed by Blue Beetle. However, Kryptonite dust from the Primal Earth still exists in this world.)
Next, we'll deal with Parallax Morhal...
Just as Barbatos was thinking this, he saw Parallax Mal's presence flicker, followed by a blank look on Parallax Mal's face.
"Time remnant reaction... Someone is affecting Parallax Morhal; he's weakened now. Good, that makes it faster for me to deal with them."
(Note: Chapter 554, The Incarnation of Justice Shocks Parallax Morhal on the Timeline.)

……
……
I am Batman.
I must hurry.
I have now mastered about a quarter of the Dark Multiverse Dragon's rank, but the pure energy that drives this rank comes from the more than 3000 heroes I have swallowed. The toxic power of Barbatos has been divided and given to the Anti-Monitor.
While Barbatos is busy fighting Parallax Morhal and Superman Supreme, I must seize the time as quickly as possible, taking advantage of this window of opportunity and the fact that more than 3000 heroes are still docile babies in my belly, to carve out an ultimate fortress in Barbatos's dark multiverse that is unaffected by Barbatos.
It's difficult, but I can do it.
By virtue of my status as the [Dark Multiverse Dragon], and the positive matter energy provided by over 3000 heroes, I am able to…
Knead the stars and cosmos.
In that instant, countless people in the dark multiverse suddenly raised their heads.
"That is..."
In a dark multiverse, a Reverse-Flash named Elberdswan looked up.
He heard a tremendous roar from the depths of the universe, but he didn't understand what it meant.
In this dark multiverse mirror of the main universe's "Flashpoint" reboot event, Reverse-Flash Alberdswan becomes a superhero who protects the world after the death of The Flash, Barry Allen.
The Flashpoint event in the main universe was originally an extremely dark story, but this dark story was replayed in the dark multiverse, which was also dark, and strangely achieved the peculiar effect of two negatives making a positive.
Reverse-Flash in this universe can be considered one of the few hopeful endings in the Dark Multiverse. Apart from the Flash being injured, everyone else has a good ending—for now.
But then Reverse-Lightning heard a sound from the depths of the universe... as if a certain region of the entire Dark Multiverse had broken free from Barbatos's control.
Immediately afterward, Reverse Flash hugged his body, and as the Dark Multiverse trembled, he felt the Speed Force vibrating and gushing out something.
Then, immediately afterward… he saw himself. A phantom of himself, a ghost of the Speed Force.
His body had been completely decomposed into pure Speed Force. He was dead, dead within Speed Force, and had become one with it.
But as the multiverse trembled, he was once again ejected from the Speed Force, in the form of pure Speed Force energy.
Reverse Lightning instinctively reached out... and touched the phantom image.
"I...I am Elberdeswan. I am Reverse-Flash...wait..."
More and more memories flooded Reverse-Flash's mind—memories from a parallel universe, a version of himself forced by Batman to sacrifice himself to save the world and bear the title of Flash.
"Am I the original Flash?"
In another dark multiverse, a Batman covered in bandages looked up, followed by another, and another, and another…
All the Dark Multiverses are witnessing this happening.
Chen Tao's universe.
Lex Luthor was breathing heavily. He knew he'd won his gamble; the trembling he'd felt just moments before meant something had happened, and he inexplicably knew it was Batman. Although he didn't know how the other had done it, he was certain of one thing…
They won their bet.
The Owl's Universe.
A large number of people looked up in confusion. Some of them had been transformed into two-headed monsters by Chen Tao, but due to the criminal syndicate's years of tyranny and rampant exploitation, the people of this universe generally possessed an innate skill of hiding. Therefore, a large number of members were in a conscious and uncontrolled state when they felt this strange feeling that something was about to happen.
[WARNING, WARNING, the Alfred Protocol is back online... Please do not leave the service area, otherwise it may cause the Alfred Protocol to disconnect!]
[Warning, warning, under maintenance... Your danger level is ∞. This detection is questionable, therefore you cannot load any Batman of the same danger level.]
[Warning! Warning! You have used abnormal means to increase your danger level. Your danger level is now ∞, undetectable. Please stop cheating.]
[Warning! Warning! Calculations indicate that you should not maintain this abnormal state of enhancement for an extended period, as it is highly likely to attract the attention of some dangerous entities in the multiverse!]
[Warning! Warning! You have attracted the attention of Dr. Manhattan, a dangerous being in the multiverse.]
[Test results indicate you are dead.]
You drew death's attention, and now you're dead.
[Error, you are not dead]
[Error, you should have been dead.]
[Cut in progress, you are an orphan... Correct]
[Warning: You are highly likely to be caught in a multiverse-level annihilation-level danger!]
[Error: Detection has shown that the danger of destroying the multiverse was caused by you.]
[Error! Error! Error! Haha, haha, hohahahahahaha!]
Upon returning to the Dark Multiverse, Chen Tao discovered that the Alfred Protocol had gone mad. It first flashed warnings frantically on his retina, and then began to act insane.
Chen Tao tried to use the authority of the Dark Multiverse Dragon to interfere with the agreement in front of him, and soon, the silver-white characters that were desperately popping up on his retina were forcibly erased by him using his spatial ability.
What exactly is going on here?
Chen Tao decided to put this aside for now.
He extended his giant claws, and then grabbed the Batman Universe, which was floating in space due to its collision with the Anti-Monitor, and the Night Owl Universe, which was originally stuck in the portal between the Light and Dark Multiverses, and pulled them together.
Then, from the macroscopic perspective of the dark multiverse, a colossal fortress spanning the sky and exuding an imposing aura rose from the ground.
That eternal monument stands in the void. How fortunate these two mere universes are to have been bestowed with the extraordinary honor of creating such a masterpiece.
This fortress is not only a condensation of matter and energy, but also a crystallization of wisdom and dreams. In an unimaginable way, it forges gravitational waves, dark matter, and stardust into a protective net under the influence of stellar energy.
This contains endless mysteries and...
Okay, I can't make this up anymore.
In reality, it was just a gorilla who had a basic understanding of how to use a chainsaw who casually chopped down two big trees and, based on his experience in building monkey dens, used an excavator to barely build a fortress that looked roughly like one.
It's more like a giant roadblock than a fortress; if it weren't for the surrounding terrain, it wouldn't even qualify as a defensive structure.
Fortunately, these two trees are sturdy enough and strategically positioned. Now, as long as these two trees are properly placed, the cost for the enemy to attack will likely far exceed their tolerance.
Now, all that's needed is to place the two trees. Even if the [3000 Heroes Positive Matter Energy] like the electric drill and excavator are lost in the future, Chen Tao, with 1/4 of the Dark Multiverse Dragon Position, will still be able to slowly build other defensive fortifications around these two trees.
Chen Tao had just finished doing all that when he saw the Golden Vanguard and the Time Master leap out of the portal, looking disheveled.
"Okay, you've already finished what you were doing. Now hurry up and spit out all the heroes you swallowed, especially Ion Man Sodamyat."
The Time Master hurriedly said, "We're here specifically to erase their memories. Every hero's memory must be erased, and then they'll be sent back to their own timeline. This is to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"Hero? What hero? I've never swallowed any hero," Chen Tao said.
"???" The Time Master nearly jumped up: "What are you talking about??? You have to spit them all out right now!"
"Okay, okay, I was just kidding," Chen Tao said. "But I really can't for the time being."
He said, "I need to conserve these powers for a while... I still have some friends who need to be resurrected."
(Tomorrow, tomorrow this volume will be finished, I promise.)
