Chapter 535 The Souls of the Dark Multiverse Are Not Remembered
Chapter 535 The Souls of the Dark Multiverse Are Not Remembered
Chapter 535 The souls of the Dark Multiverse have no right to be remembered!
In the cracks of the dark multiverse.
With a dazzling white light, Superman the Supreme appeared, his eyes wide with rage.
He roared and continued his fist-throwing motion. In fact, the moment he was teleported here, he had already realized that he had been moved to another place by the enemy, but he still did not stop punching. A large amount of anger rushed to his head in an instant, and he changed his action from attack to emotional venting.
As his fist unleashed endless light and heat, countless black figures, like a tidal wave, vanished into nothingness beneath it.
The black "tide" that was surging below him was almost temporarily halted by his powerful strike.
Even the Supreme Superman couldn't see clearly what he had smashed. Those things, after being shattered, were not dead, but twitched and turned into small pieces, writhing painfully in the air.
The Supreme Little Superman didn't care at all about what he had done.
He calmed down—of course he could do that, and now he wasn't controlled by the Blood Slaughter Bull. Before, when facing the Anti-Monitor, he had only deliberately indulged his anger.
At this moment, he found himself in a desolate world—
Superman's gaze shifted downwards, and he saw that the empty space where his fist had struck was once again filled by layers upon layers of black people.
This is the crevice between two dark multiverses, a completely empty shell.
There is no time, no space, no mass, no matter, no antimatter, nothing at all. Barbatos devoured the entire universe.
Oh, he finally realized what he had just hit.
The Supreme Superman gazed down at the writhing, wailing undead below, though that name wasn't entirely accurate.
They are the last remnants of a dark multiverse, surviving only thanks to the dark energy of Barbatos. They can only wail in this empty shell of a world forever, living in the cracks of the dark multiverse.
Barbatos ruthlessly stripped them of the right to return their universe to the World Furnace. As the Dark Multiverse Dragon, he should have destroyed these worlds, then allowed their energy to return to the World Furnace, and then be reborn as new worlds.
But he betrayed his duty and simply and brutally devoured this world, which is why these souls are forever wandering here, unable to return to the furnace.
Over time, countless beings from the destroyed worlds became such ghosts, uncared for and unloved.
Only the newly deceased souls still have the ability to wail, while those who died earlier are numb and unable to even cry out.
Their power is so weak that, apart from their existence, they are no different from the air.
Of course... no one will pity them.
"What a disgusting thing, how pathetic."
A look of disgust appeared on the face of the Supreme Superman; the tyrannical demon god was now consumed by thoughts of revenge.
He didn't care at all how many souls of the Dark Multiverse he had just shattered with his punch in order to vent his emotions, causing these poor souls who couldn't even die to experience the excruciating pain of being smashed to pieces. He just looked at the surging black tide with disgust.
"Get out of here!"
Superman ignored the noisy, frog-like spirits and flew at an unimaginable speed to the edge of the empty shell.
Despite being in one of the many dark multiverses, this was no challenge for Superman Supreme.
He believed he might need a little time to find his way, but he would soon tear through space to find the right path and return to the battlefield.
Now that he has transformed into his current golden state, he can clearly remember every detail of how he was exiled. Through continuous attempts, finding his previous coordinates is not difficult.
He closed his eyes and began to recall, but then...
Superman felt the purple lantern energy rising around him, and a purple lantern ring suddenly broke open from a small interdimensional space beside him, which clearly appeared to be from the Green Lantern Corps' storage technology.
(Note: Sinestro used this technique of creating small spaces with a medium to retrieve the Green Lantern furnace to recharge himself during his fight against Atochitas. See: The plot of Green Lantern: Secret Origins)
The ring flew towards Superman Supreme: "Superman Supreme from the Unknown Sector, you possess the beloved Batman..."
The voice, initially mechanical, transformed into a hysterical, maniacal laugh: "Hahahaha, beloved Bat Commander Teeth! You deserve to join the Bat Legion as the Bat Supporter Teeth—"
Superman realized that the ring was used by Batman to try to control him after his transformation. Batman knew nothing about him and thought that he could still be controlled by him after absorbing sunlight. As for that damned monkey personality, it had long been dispelled from his mind by Superman after being exposed to the sun.
Even so, does Batman still believe that this ring will allow him to activate his monkey personality and once again treat Superman Supreme as a plaything?
Upon realizing the purpose of the ring, Superman Superman was furious. Looking at the ring, a flood of memories of being manipulated and fooled by Batman rushed into his mind, making his face extremely gloomy.
He reached out, intending to crush the insulting dog collar with his bare hands, but a sentence on the ring made him pause.
"After becoming the Purple Lantern, guided by love, the Lantern can find Batman, the leader of the Purple Lantern Legion, at any time and listen to his gospel! No matter how many mountains and rivers, how many worlds, are separated by you, as long as there is love in your hearts, you will be reunited!"
"Bullshit, disgusting," said Superman.
Despite saying that, he suddenly realized that this was a good way to help him find Batman quickly.
He could use this to find the other person, and then... kill that damn Batman!
So the Supreme Superman put the Purple Lantern Ring on his hand.
"Oh, what a wise choice! My Bat is so wonderful! Even though I'm just a ring, tears are streaming down my face!"
The ring had gone completely insane, losing all the mechanical and coldness that an AI should possess.
A young Superman has every reason to believe that this is a program Batman specifically designed for rings like the Purple Lantern to satisfy his perverse and wicked tastes.
Then, Superman took another deep breath and began to recall why he liked Batman.
He needs to create a fake emotion and then use that emotion to deceive the ring, so that the ring can help him find the real person.
Unlike before, these emotions no longer controlled him; instead, he was controlling them.
"Waaaah, come back, Batman! Our proudest belief!!! With you by my side, I fear not even the destruction of the universe!!!"
As the Purple Lantern Ring's AI voice went berserk once more, malice flashed in the eyes of the Supreme Superman.
He had already obtained that position. Immediately afterwards, he took off the purple lamp ring, tore open the space in front of him with his bare hands, took a step, and disappeared from the spot.
And the souls of those dead from the dark multiverse continue to surge and wail.
No one remembers them, no one knows them, and they have no power.
They were just a group of nameless losers. In that surging crowd, there may have been heroes who tried to rebel against the fate woven by Barbatos, just like the Night Owl, who tried his best to save his universe.
But in the end, they all ended up like this; they were people for whom there was no hope in the dark multiverse...
The best proof.

"Each of you, I need you to provide me with your blood and a part of your distinctive features."
Chen Tao said.
This is taking precautions.
The death of Superpower (Chapter 508) warned Chen Tao that the Anti-Monitor would also evolve its own scheme. It not only figured out the mechanism of Chen Tao's Alfred Protocol, but also seemed to have found a way to avoid Chen Tao's creation of anchor objects, thereby synchronizing the abilities of Batman in parallel universes.
He used this ability to kill Superpower, almost dissolving him into a skeleton, but Chen Tao's Alfredo Protocol didn't react at all. Chen Tao didn't know how the other party did it.
During his brief alliance with the anti-monitor mortal Möbius, Chen Tao had no opportunity to ask the question. Although he didn't know if the other party would answer even if he did ask.
Therefore, he had to give it a try.
Chen Tao did not want his Justice League teammates to die in battle; he was unwilling to see such a situation occur. Therefore, in his initial plan, he would return alone to confront the Anti-Monitor and Superman Supreme.
But he ultimately accepted his allies because they, like himself, were prepared to sacrifice. Therefore, Chen Tao also had the right to make the worst-case scenario prediction.
He needs the blood and symbols of every Justice League teammate he has. This way, if his teammates die, even if their bodies are completely corrupted by the Anti-Life Equation, there is a high probability that the blood and symbols he collected beforehand will be converted into anchor items, thus giving Chen Tao some kind of enhancement as a Batman from a parallel universe.
—Or perhaps, just as the Flash, Barry Allen, merged into Chen Tao's body to enhance the Red Death's transformation, it enhanced one of Chen Tao's Batman transformations.
His allies did as he was told.
Martian Manhunter was the first to donate a portion of his own blood, and then he removed his outer robe.
He put it succinctly: "Victory or death."
Shazam scratched his head, and after bleeding himself with a bitter face, he actually pulled out a Switch Lite (a type of single-player game console) from his backside. Chen Tao hadn't noticed that he had any pockets on his backside before. It looked like some kind of storage magic. Billy Batson seemed to be gradually becoming a real mage.
"You have to give me back the game console after you're done," he said. "Sigh, I really shouldn't have hesitated to rescue Princess Zelda while playing *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild*, instead of searching for Yahaha. It would be such a waste if I didn't save Zelda before I died!"
Chen Tao couldn't understand the nonsensical game references he was spouting, so he urgently used his telepathic link to ask Martian Manhunter what game Shazam was referring to, and then replied, "It's okay, you'll have a chance to beat up Ganon. (Ganon is the game's boss)."
Although Chen Tao didn't understand children's games, he still wanted to comfort Billy Batson, who seemed a little nervous, at this moment.
Aquaman cut off his beard, leaving his chin bald and his neck exposed.
The costume looks somewhat comical, as if Aquaman is setting the stage for a suicide act by cutting his own throat.
He handed Batman the beard and the bottle of blood: "I'm ready, Batman."
At this moment, Chen Tao was unaware that there was a slight difference between the "enlightenment" that Aquaman Arthur spoke of and the "enlightenment" he thought he understood, so he replied:
"Our understanding is the same, Arthur."
Then he turned to look at Mera, the water-type female warrior who had barely spoken since they decided to come.
As Aquaman Arthur's wife, she had been silent and taciturn from the beginning until now, like Aquaman's shadow. She didn't say a word, but instead handed Batman some of her cut hair and blood with a worried expression.
Clark gave Chen Tao his red cloak and blood, complaining, "I really didn't expect that you'd be in such a state that you'd still provide me with a kryptonite syringe to draw blood. Carrying kryptonite weapons is one thing, but why do you carry something like this around with you all the time?"
The item Wonder Woman gave Chen Tao was her hairband, which seemed to still carry the faint fragrance of her hair.
Apart from this, Diana's entire body is made of magical artifacts.
"The Amazon warriors will follow me to the death," she said with a resolute tone, as if reciting a sermon.
Bain gave Chen Tao his hood.
"Don't die."
He said.
William Hand gave him his own gloves in return.
Chen Tao nodded to him.
He calculated in his mind how long it would take for the Anti-Monitor to find him. He deliberately left a Purple Lantern Ring for Superman Supreme, hoping that the other party could use the Purple Lantern Ring to speed up his return should the Anti-Monitor banish him to another Dark Multiverse.
Both the Anti-Monitor and Superman Supreme are far too powerful opponents for Chen Tao and the Justice League at present. Unless absolutely necessary, Chen Tao hopes to minimize the time spent in direct confrontation with them, however…
boom!!!
Amidst a deafening roar, the spaceship they were hiding in shattered into pieces by the immense force. Chen Tao and the Justice League members scattered and retreated. They saw the blue-skinned anti-monitor tear through space and appear before them, where they were surrounded.
Then Chen Tao heard the anti-surveillance agent reach out to them and say, "Superman is not coming back."
"As for you, souls of the Dark Multiverse, you have no right to be remembered."
But the purple light on Chen Tao's body lit up... This meant that the Supreme Little Superman had activated his Purple Lamp Ring.
