Chapter 1023 The Hanged Man Lands in the DC Multiverse, the Truth Behind the Void Hand Story
The fate of the Void Hand has been forever intertwined with magic since long ago, and Hecate herself has tied that bond.
Magic has always been shaped by faith, and it turns things into gold through miracles.
"What happened?"
The goddess of magic, Hecate, realized with displeasure that she was suddenly beginning to lose control of a part of her body.
This was a tremendous provocation, especially given her successful manipulation of magic and the watchful eyes of her ally, the Hand of the Void.
The other party should have been completely under her control.
"Great Mother of Magic, Hecate, I beg you to hear the voice of your daughter—"
Hecate heard Diana's cry.
"What kind of trick is this—"
"Hecate, are you even capable of handling your task?" The goddess of magic heard the Void Hand whispering to her. She said in a low voice, "You'd better be able to control Diana Prince, otherwise I won't be able to deal with him when Batman Dragon attacks. We've held him off for too long, but once you linger in the Realm of the Gods, turning from a constantly moving target into a stationary one, even the strongest power can't stop the trans-time flow from bringing his protector. He'll come knocking sooner or later. I told you, never give Batman Dragon even the slightest chance."
"I know, damn it, I know."
Hecate said this.
"This is not a trick; I request to speak with you!"
He heard Diana pleading with him like that, but the goddess of magic had no interest in hearing what she had to say.
"Continue to wreak havoc on Olympus, Diana Prince; your goddess commands you to obey her instructions."
"I understand your true feelings, Hecate. Two-thirds of them are with me in resisting your manipulation. They have told me your story. I understand the pain in your heart. This world is so cruel to beautiful things, turning them into cold-hearted indifference. Having experienced it firsthand, no one can help but hate it, but this is not the solution. Release yourself from your control, use your unparalleled power to heal the magic, do not destroy it, do not change it—"
The goddess of magic grew increasingly furious. She was enraged that Diana was completely out of her control. She wanted to yell at her and forcefully give her orders, but before she could do any of that, an instinctive feeling warned Hecate.
"Hurry up, Hecate."
However, the urging from the Void Hand interrupted the goddess of magic's perception.
She sensed his urgency: "Batman's Dragon is coming soon, and I can't stop him much longer. How's it going on your end? Have you managed to control Diana? We have another problem to solve."
Through the vision shared by the Void Hand, the goddess of magic Hecate saw Batman Dragon searching for him in the endless turbulent flow of time. The Void Hand was constantly changing the history of the trans-time flow to block Batman Dragon's spying, making him arrive a step too late each time.
When he arrived at the scene of Ramakunash's abduction, he saw only a charred city and fallen monks. When he broke into the heart of the Green of All Things, he saw only the devastated Council of Trees and the barely conscious Black Orchid, but he could not stop the solidified trans-temporal reality.
Seeing that Batman Dragon was relentlessly pursuing him, Hecate began searching for the Dark Justice League. He found Cersei and, with the help of the witch Cersei, broke into the Void Hand, the Curved Dimension that imprisoned the entire Dark Justice League.
Hecate sees his ally, the Void Hand, attempting to kill the Dark Justice League outright, but if this timeline occurs, Batman Dragon will be able to find the person much faster through his connection to death.
The Void Hand has done everything in its power; it has done everything it could to stop Batman Dragon from arriving. So what excuse does Hecate have left?
Thus, the goddess of magic completely lost her last chance to sense danger through instinct.
"No, don't even think about it. You—"
She refused, then heard Diana's pleading voice.
"Please, don't make me kill you."
The goddess of magic found this laughable.
Her inspiration was diminished, her precognitive abilities, like a cicada sensing the autumn wind before it even blows, were blocked. What should have been a terrifying threat now appeared to him as nothing more than a joke. Under normal circumstances, when Diana uttered those words, the goddess of magic should have been able to foresee what he was about to do. But this time, she neither saw it beforehand nor sensed anything amiss.
"Hurry up, Hecate."
The Void Hand is urging us on.
Diana Prince of the main universe took a deep breath.
She had no other choice.
Are you sure this will work?
She repeatedly confirmed with Queen Hecate within her body, receiving an affirmative reply: "Of course. Without Zatana, the story lacks a character capable of using irony to deliver the final blow—"
Queen Hecate's words echoed in the minds of both the Alliance Warrior and the Main Universe Warrior. Her expression remained unchanged, and no one realized that the "story" she was telling was not the same as the stories told by ordinary people.
No one realized who was behind the "story" he was telling, or who orchestrated the story of Empress Hecate.
History, presented in a time-traveling manner, has been reshaped. Here's a very simple question:
Before the DC multiverse entered its current reboot, before the last time Empress Hecate appeared in everyone's sight—
Wasn't she already extracted from the body of the Dark Multiverse Retro Wonder Woman possessed by Batman Dragon and then poured into the body of the Dark Multiverse Lantern Horror?
Why did she regain a physical form? Why did she once again travel with Supergirl and ultimately infuse into the body of Diana Prince, Batman from the main universe?
When a loophole appears in the story, leaving a trap, tell me, dear visitor, when will this trap be triggered, and when will it destroy the sense of security and the outcome of victory?
"Something's not right. I have a bad feeling about this. What we're doing is too dangerous. Shouldn't we have originally agreed that we would only open the door for the Upside-Down People as a last resort?" the Alliance Heroine said. "Let's try again. Is there any other way? Otherwise, we're just letting two tigers fight each other."
Even the Alliance Warriors didn't realize that the three of them—the Main Universe Warrior, the Alliance Warriors, and Queen Hecate—had now mysteriously formed a new Triad of Goddesses.
The main universe's Wonder Woman has become a young girl, the League Wonder Woman has become a mother, and the remaining vengeful old woman—
"No, I know. I understand the consequences of using magic now, but we also know this is the only way, aren't we?"
Across countless spaces and times, Zatana, at a certain point in the trans-timeline, desperately tried to shut her mouth. She braced her jawbone with her hands, even as a strange and powerful force pressed against her mouth, causing her skull to creak and groan.
She tried desperately to resist the manipulation of this power, but ultimately succumbed with a muffled groan.
Stories shape history, and history, in turn, influences stories.
In this trans-temporal flow, the changes in history and the story influence and complement each other. Zatana was completely unable to resist this overwhelming force. Blood gushed from all seven of her orifices, but her mouth still moved uncontrollably in sync with the Void Hand.
"Door----
In the main universe, Wonder Woman Diana Prince spoke the first word, and Queen Hecate's voice resonated with her.
"open----"
Beyond countless times and spaces, Chen Tao suddenly raised his head. He realized that the Void Hand had completed its story, and he planned to join forces with the Laughing Bat—only by joining forces could they break through everything the Void Hand had prepared.
He had temporarily lost the initiative, but the appearance of the Laughing Bat made up for it. He silently gazed into the void, across an unknown distance of space and time, staring at the Void Hand standing behind the goddess of magic, Hecate.
"beat----"
At this moment, Hecate finally felt fear. Her previously suppressed spiritual senses suddenly resurfaced, frantically warning the goddess of magic, Hecate. She turned her head in disbelief to look at the expressionless Void Hand in the void, but it was too late to stop what was about to happen. As silent lightning exploded in the air, a portal appeared in the void, accompanied by Diana's voice.
The sky cracked open, revealing a portal from which emerged a humanoid monster with white skin, head down. No, not skin, but scales. It possessed eerie, snake-like scales, and its face was faceless.
It has only one gaping maw filled with sharp, fine teeth.
His lower body was covered by black trousers, and his bare feet were walking in mid-air.
The membrane separating the multiverses was torn apart, and the being that the goddess of magic had feared for many years finally began to project its power into the DC multiverse. Beneath the throne of the Void Hand, a figure materialized out of thin air—the captured Lantern of Horror, howling in agony. He had originally merged with Queen Hecate, but the Void Hand, having seized him, successfully manipulated Queen Hecate downstream by connecting him to her through a trans-temporal link.
"You stupid child, what have you done?!"
Hecate exclaimed, and then she heard her nemesis say, "Ah, wonderful! I've known this power for a long time—I can even smell its fragrance!"
"Don't even think about it, go back!"
Hecate began altering history upstream in the timeline, attempting to exploit the Hanged Man's lack of understanding of the DC multiverse to quickly expel it back into the DC multiverse and then close the membrane. Diana in the main universe also realized what was happening and began trying to use the ironic magic remaining within her to close the portal connecting the DC multiverse to the outside world: "Door shut!"
But all of this was in vain. Upstream in the timeline, Hecate discovered, with a grim expression, that the Void Hand was blocking her path right at the point where she could change history.
After playing house with Hecate for so long, the Hand of the Void finally revealed its ferocious fangs to its ally.
Downstream in the timeline, in reality, Hecate was no longer able to stop it all from happening.
As the inverted man collapsed onto Hecate and began to devour her, the screams of the goddess of magic began to echo between the marble walls of Olympus. She commanded all his power to return to him, granting him the strength to contend with this ancient enemy, her true nemesis.
Even across an infinite distance, Hecate could feel the witch Circe trembling as she collapsed to the ground. Through Circe's eyes, Hecate saw Batman Dragon and the Batman Who Laughs standing together. Unable to make Circe speak, she tried to control her gaze, attempting to make Batman Dragon understand what she wanted to say.
The power of magic can still respond to her call. This power has not yet entered the essence of magic; it is still barely under Hecate's control, and there is still some hope, but this does not seem like a good thing.
Only then did the League of Legends heroine and Diana from the main universe belatedly realize—
"No, I've been tricked." The League of Legends heroine felt a chill run from her tailbone straight to her head.
"I had no idea about the relationship between Queen Hecate and the Lantern of Horrors. I was used. The Void Hand used us. He used me to create a story." She suddenly looked at Queen Hecate beside her. In the world of minds, the two heroines saw each other's mocking expressions.
"You fools, you're always too eager to see the best in people, you can't see their true intentions. I've been waiting for this moment for too long, Diana."
Following closely behind was Queen Hecate, who flew into Hecate's body like a bird. As Queen Hecate or the Void Hand said, Wonder Woman is the embodiment of hope among the Big Three, which also means that she is too trusting of others.
When a character of the Void Hand's caliber intentionally deceives, the informational impact on Supergirl and Diana in the main universe is precipitous. Once the Void Hand's story takes shape, even characters like the Goddess of Magic or Batman's Dragon will be drawn into its influence, let alone the two Supergirls.
But the Void Hand doesn't understand one thing: deceiving superheroes comes at a price. For the immune system, the more you suppress it, the stronger the next counterattack will be.
But at least for now, the Void Hand has suppressed the immune system.
"Yes, all of this will belong to me."
Queen Hecate and the Hand of the Void spoke in unison, declaring that the throne of the Lord of Magic in the DC Multiverse was now—
It's right before our eyes.
In the collective unconscious, Batman Dragon and Batman Laughing travel together—frankly, a truly rare sight. They appear together here, seeing themselves peering out of the Hanged Man's cave, looking down at them.
"Huh, who are you?"
