Chapter 469 I'm really angry right now!!!
Although the turtle-man's verification has initially confirmed that the approach is correct, there are still difficulties in extending it to the entire universe.
After all, for the Turtle Man's alter ego, influenced by the Joker's potion, to fully develop, Chen Tao needed to use Rayleigh's telepathic abilities as an aid. However, it was clear that Rayleigh's telepathic abilities alone were insufficient to transform aliens from the entire Earth or even other planets.
Furthermore, the Turtleman's transformation was a meticulously executed one-on-one operation by Batman using the power of the Crimson Soul in front of him. Without the assistance of the Blood Cult and the Night Owl's arrangements, it would be difficult to popularize. Also...
However, as long as Night Owl is willing to help him, these problems can be solved.
The key point is that this solution must be reversible, which is more important than anything else.
"Am I...am I dreaming?" Having just had the power of the Eclipse drained and his beast form completely removed, the somewhat weak turtle-man struggled to his feet. He had been wearing shackles, but he had just broken free of them.
However, he had no time to dwell on the fact that his shoulder was completely unharmed and every part of his body obeyed his commands. The turtle-man was almost crying with joy: "Thank God! That monster has completely taken control of my body. It's terrifying, so terrifying, I..."
It would have been fine if he hadn't spoken, but as soon as he did, Chen Tao noticed him immediately. So he raised his hand and aimed the Dark Heart, which housed the Sky Eclipse, at the turtle man.
In the heart of Darkness, Eclipse's will was completely suppressed by the will contained within the Anti-Monitor's heart, making it impossible for him to resist Batman's extraction of his power.
As a beam of black light struck the turtle-man, his 30-second trial period as a normal human quickly expired.
As the turtle-man screamed for help, the turtle head grew out of his left shoulder once more, quickly taking control of his entire body.
"Send this guy back to his prison, put him in shackles, and be ready to let him help me share the burden."
Chen Tao gave the order.
"Okay." Bain nodded immediately, almost instinctively. "Is there anything else I can do?"
However, instead of receiving a reply from Batman, he heard the Turtle Man next to him snap to attention.
Then the turtle-headed creature used one of its own hands to cover the human head that had been standing there, preventing the turtle-man from wailing. Meanwhile, the turtle-headed creature emitted a wild and domineering sound:
"You absolutely must...you absolutely must do it for Batman!"
Bane was startled by the sudden shout from the turtle-man's turtle head. He looked at the other man in horror, and then realized that Batman's order just now did not seem to be given to him.
Turtle Man's eyes widened in anger. He bit the hand that was covering his mouth hard, then stretched his neck desperately to break free from the hand's control. He opened his mouth to curse Batman, condemning Batman for creating a secondary personality and taking control of his body. But the next moment, he swung his fist and slammed it into his face.
The turtle head kept controlling the turtle-man, hitting him with its own hands while wailing loudly, tears streaming down its face.
"Waaaaah... Bat Commander... working tirelessly for the survival of this world... so noble! We love you, Bat Commander! For justice! Hohohohahahahahahaha!"
"Go! Go! Let's cheer on the cause of justice!"
Bain: "..."
Bane watched as the turtle-man pounded his own head with both hands in various styles while skillfully operating the bat-computer as if nothing had happened.
He left the room shortly afterward, intending to go to the Justice League's warehouse to retrieve the shackles that bound him, and then take the initiative to lock himself back in prison.
This hellish scene always gave Bain a sense of unreal disillusionment.
"Come here."
He heard Batman say that.
"Uh... I don't think I need that kind of dual-head enhancement."
Bain was so frightened that he took a step back.
"What are you thinking?" Chen Tao said, "Do I look like the kind of person who would do something like this to his allies?"
Bain didn't speak, and he didn't move.
"...I'm just returning your memories to you."
"What memories?"
"You'll see when you get closer. Don't be silly, Bane, you know I wouldn't do that."
So, trusting Batman, Bane approached Batman's body like a fawn in the forest—though that's a strange description, that's the gist of it.
Chen Tao synchronized with the Red Death Demon, placing his hand on Bane's shoulder before activating a portion of Bane's abilities.
In an instant, Bain groaned as memories of the previous time restart flooded his mind like a tidal wave.
"I...our time has been restarted? We've already fought against the anti-surveillance agents...and lost?"
"The battle is still ongoing; we've only temporarily ceased hostilities," Chen Tao corrected him. "We've delayed the anti-monitor for a while, but he'll be back soon."
"So, this is what you need to do next. You have to convince Anton Akane to become our free fighting force again. If you can't convince him, come back to me, and I'll take care of it for you."
Chen Tao said, "The other thing is training William Hand. This time I need him to summon the Black Death Emperor earlier, and we absolutely cannot let him be easily dealt with by the Anti-Monitors like before. I will restore William Hand's memories before restarting, just like you did. Once you've dealt with the Corruption Black, you can start training him. We don't have much time."
After saying this, Chen Tao saw Bain nod and then hurriedly left.
He arrived at William Hand's house in a matter of seconds at the speed of the Red Death Demon, then pointed a finger at William Hand's forehead, and without uttering a word, left William Hand's house again and arrived at a new place.
"Huffing and puffing..."
Chen Tao took a deep breath.
Here on a rocky cliff in the Alps, Chen Tao deactivated his Red Death Demon transformation, returned to his normal state, and then rested for a while to calm his wildly beating heart.
He previously synchronized with the Red Death Demon for a long time because of the support of Ion Shark and numerous batteries.
Now that his timeline has restarted and he has returned, although the Flash Barry Allen has merged into his body, which has greatly increased his speed after synchronizing with the Red Death, and making it as easy for him to reverse the timeline as eating and drinking, it still cannot change the fact that synchronizing with the Red Death still puts a huge burden on him.
He synchronized the high-speed bullets, then his entire body floated up and flew upwards along the rock wall.
In short, he was here at this moment because he had another matter to attend to.
This is a base of the crime syndicate, but Superpower isn't here.
When the Crime Syndicate invaded their universe, and Batman used an enhancement program to turn Superman into a drug addict who guzzled Kryptonite to the point of ecstasy, the Crime Syndicate effectively split apart.
Although they were still nominally a group of people, Night Owl directly piloted his spaceship away from the universe where Chen Tao was, and hid in the gap between two dark multiverses to observe how things would develop.
Chen Tao had completely taken control of Superpower's location, and he arranged for Luther to deliver the kryptonite he needed to absorb every day.
When Superpower first got the formula, he had some ideas about producing Kryptonite to be self-sufficient, but he quickly gave up after seeing how much Batman had to eat, and never thought about making Kryptonite himself again.
Of the three giants of the crime syndicate, two have already established clear activity patterns, but the Queen of Crime has been acting mysteriously from the very beginning.
Whether it was obtaining Wonder Woman's blood through Owlman in the early days, or hiding herself until she emerged to fight the Anti-Monitor, Supergirl always had her own plans and ulterior motives. Although these plans became a joke because Owlman and Batman were constantly working together to suppress Thunder Zamza, this does not mean that Supergirl's plans were incomplete.
Chen Tao had never had time to investigate where Super Queen was hiding before – this was determined by his experience. His energy was not unlimited, so he had to give up many things. And now that he had determined Super Queen’s target, Thunder Zanza, he only needed to focus on that one key point and did not need to spend too much time on Super Queen’s location.
But things are different now. After he restarted time, Chen Tao had already recorded how Super Queen jumped out of her secret base and then found Super Tyrant's base to release Zamsa before the time restart. So he could easily find Super Queen's location now.
And more importantly...
Super Queen has a treasure. To prevent Night Owl from realizing the value of this treasure, Chen Tao deliberately diverted Night Owl's attention to Zansha before the time restart.
Now, it's time to reap the rewards of this little treasure. With this treasure, he can make a deal with Greer and completely win her over from both sides.
Chen Tao soon flew to a small platform on the mountain peak.
These almost blatant signs of human intervention told Chen Tao that he had found the right place. Super Queen had placed too much trust in the magical illusion she had created outside, but she was ultimately an Amazon warrior, not a sorcerer.
Just as Chen Tao was about to step inside, his communicator rang.
Wonder Woman called: "Bruce, do you know where Barry went? His girlfriend, you know, Patty, told the League that he suddenly went blurry and then just disappeared during their date..."
Wonder Woman paused. "According to Patty, Barry disappeared in a way that resembled the disappearance of those time remnants... Is Barry manipulating timelines again?"
"Patty is very worried about Barry... She's a friend of mine, so she's going to ask if Barry is alright, if he..."
Chen Tao could no longer hear what Wonder Woman was saying next.
This phone call instantly disrupted Chen Tao's previously calm and collected thoughts.
He didn't know how he hung up the call; he was just mumbling incoherently, not even knowing what he was saying.
He knew that if his plan succeeded, he would be able to separate Barry from his body. He was confident of this, but how could he not be afraid?
What if he fails? What if he succeeds but can't save Barry? Did he kill Barry?
How should he face Petty?
Something heavy was pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe. He was thinking about Barry when he sneaked into the Queen's base, and sure enough, he was discovered.
"It's you... Batman."
Chen Tao turned around and saw the Super Queen, heavily pregnant, standing behind him. Many Amazonian female warriors from the Crime Syndicate universe, who obeyed the Super Queen's orders, were also gathering towards Chen Tao from behind the interconnected passageways, surrounding him.
"I need your help, Louise," Chen Tao called Supergirl's name. "We face the threat of anti-surveillance, the same threat, a threat where we rise and fall together."
Chen Tao was thinking about Barry while still talking to the Super Queen: "You know how strong I am. Don't even think about ganging up on me, Louise. Listen to my conditions first, and I'll help you unleash Thunder Zamsa... and then..."
"Don't try to fool me, Batman," Supergirl said.
Chen Tao was in a daze for a moment. The Super Queen seemed to have said a lot, but he only extracted one important piece of information.
"You don't know this yet, do you, Batman? I'm an Amazon, and I possess an Amazonian curse. I have Wonder Woman's blood, and through that blood, I can curse Diana Prince to take the pain in my place..."
Chen Tao knew he shouldn't have lost his temper. He should always be calm and ruthless.
But what had just happened with Patty left him with mixed feelings, and more importantly...
He's inexplicably irritable right now.
Supergirl wasn't lying; she did indeed use some kind of curse to connect with Wonder Woman. Chen Tao confirmed through communication that Wonder Woman would indeed be harmed in sync with Supergirl's injuries.
This was a new situation that Chen Tao hadn't known beforehand. After all, before the time restart, the Super Queen hadn't even had a chance to use this move before being killed by Thunder Zamsa. In other words, if the magic could be stopped before the curse was cast...
Chen Tao tried using irony magic, but it didn't break the curse.
But he wasn't without other options, such as restraining the Super Queen or using Thunder Zamsa to threaten her; there were far too many methods.
Even with this curse, Chen Tao was confident he could break it given time, but he didn't have time. He knew the Super Queen definitely had other tricks up her sleeve, all sorts of hidden attacks, an endless web of schemes, incredibly annoying. Chen Tao simply didn't have the time to counter her moves.
And more importantly...
He really, really has a lot of temper.
In an instant, silvery-white particles swept over Chen Tao's entire body, and the Super Queen and the entire base were constantly moving backward as the timeline reversed.
This is just a local timeline reset, resetting them to the moment before Chen Tao entered the base, while the outside time remains unchanged.
Chen Tao was also reset to outside the base by time, and this time...
boom!!!!!
With a deafening roar, the Dark Father's Omega Rays instantly shattered the mountain like tofu. Chen Tao transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushing into that damned base before anyone could react. He grabbed the Super Queen, who hadn't even had time to react, and forcefully slammed her to the ground.
"What's going on? Batman, you..."
The Super Queen's memories were reset, and she had no idea what had happened.
Her expression changed, and she immediately attempted to activate the curse. As she prepared the spell, she threatened, "Batman, if you don't want Wonder Woman to..."
But Batman didn't waste any more words with him. The Queen's curse would take time to activate, but Chen Tao wouldn't give her that chance.
He raised his fist high, and the Queen's pupils reflected the hideous bone spurs protruding from his fist.
The next second, the Super Girl's beautiful face was instantly bruised and battered.
"I told you, I'm fucking furious!!!!"
