Chapter 473 The Birth of the World's Best Supreme Partners?
The Supreme Little Superman's face darkened.
Chen Tao realized that he might have been somewhat provoked.
An obvious consensus:
Batman never completely relies on the possibility that Superman the Supreme can be persuaded to complete his plans.
But he is still trying.
"You are Superman Supreme. Even if you are different from the Superman that everyone knows, you are still Superman."
"From the moment Superman and Batman met, you should have known one thing was obvious: Batman and Superman think and think differently."
He spoke slowly, guiding the beast, the Supreme Little Superman.
Superman was right; he knew exactly what he was.
A wild beast burning with rage.
Chen Tao reminded himself that he must never forget this point, otherwise there was a possibility that he would be bitten.
"But as time goes on, I think we should realize that there are always some things we can agree on, such as..."
"for example?"
Superman the Younger tilted his head and told Batman with a wickedly sly question that he was listening.
"For example, we will never succumb to the demons on our shoulders, but will retaliate in the same way our enemies have hurt us."
"If we do the same things as them, we become them, which is why I'm always worried."
"fart."
"Supreme Little Superman said."
"If that's all there is to it, then there's no need to continue this conversation."
He stared at Batman: "The part about the time travelers."
Chen Tao sighed. He had been preparing the memories that Bat-Leniak was supposed to share with Superman while he was talking to him.
He was thinking about which memories he should share and which he shouldn't.
such as……
He wasn't sure if the Superman in front of him was the same Superman he knew, nor was he sure if the ending for that Superman in the DC comics would apply to this one.
Simply put, he knew that the Supreme Superman in the Light Multiverse possessed his Origin Earth, which he would return to after his heroic sacrifice.
But what about this Supreme Little Superman?
Where is this Supreme Little Superman in front of him?
Who exactly is he? He bears the title of Supreme Little Superman and possesses immense power, yet he appears on the Origin Wall.
As is well known, in the entire history of the DC Universe, Superman the Primal only appeared once on the Origin Wall, before Flashpoint. With his power greatly diminished, he led a group to attack the Teen Titans, but was sealed away by Supergirl and Superboy.
If we follow the normal timeline, then this Superman should have already experienced the first half of his life in the DC universe. However, the problem is that, based on Chen Tao's multiple encounters with Superman, he can keenly discover that much of the history that Superman should have experienced is missing from the other's life journey.
(Note: Chapter 248 resolves foreshadowing, with the Supreme Little Superman's narration. According to his own description, after experiencing "Crisis on Infinite Earths," he invaded the main universe in "Crisis on Infinite Earths" and immediately appeared on the Origin Wall.)
In the correct historical account, he should have been imprisoned in a cage on Oa, the headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps, after Infinite Crisis, until the Sinestro Corps Wars occurred.
This means that the version of Superman that Chen Tao is seeing skips a long stretch of his life from the "Infinite Crisis" era to the attack on the Teen Titans, including but not limited to major events he participated in such as "Final Crisis: Legion of the Three Realms" and "The Sinestro Legion War."
This means that for Chen Tao, everything is unknown and the outcome is uncontrollable, and he hates the unknown the most.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, Chen Tao finally decided to be open and honest.
That's right. He had read DC comics, and he had just rambled on enough to allow him to use his ability to create a memory in his mind that had been stripped of a lot of key information and was full of emotional provocation.
For example... the versions that Superman the Ultimate once experienced.
Look, he used to be an ordinary person who greatly admired the great qualities of Superman saving the world in comics.
His world has no superheroes, only DC Comics being published.
Like the Supreme Superman, he suddenly found himself transported to another world one day, and thus embarked on an adventure to save the world without hesitation...
Look, look, Chen Tao isn't lying; he's only stating part of the truth.
He and Superman were never the same, or at least not exactly the same, but he could use a montage lie to make them look incredibly alike.
Chen Tao was confident he could tell this lie; at least until just now, he had intended to do so.
But... he can't do that.
Chen Tao was not stingy with using lies to maintain the status quo temporarily—for example, he once casually lied to Bain that he and he were brothers.
But for him, whether or not Bane discovered they weren't real brothers didn't prevent him from manipulating the other.
From the moment Bane bowed his head to Batman, he could never lift his head again; their relationship transformed from one of equals to one of dominance and subjugation in a de facto sense.
The lie he told Bane was less about deceiving him and more about giving Bane an excuse to cooperate with Batman, a way to save face. It was completely different from his deception of Superman Supreme.
Lies will eventually be exposed, and montage lies are ultimately just lies.
After all, he's not Constantine.
(Note: Constantine, a hero from the DC superheroes, is a magic-based hero who excels at sabotaging his teammates, using his friends as consumables and lane-filling babies. He has even less of a bottom line than Chen Tao.)
So he finally spoke, saying, "We live in the Dark Multiverse."
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that our existence is very likely a reflection of the real world."
"You'd better give me an explanation."
The Supreme Superman's face was already very ugly, filled with terrifying ferocity.
"I will share my memories with you," Chen Tao told him sincerely.
"But there are some parts of the comic that I can't share with you, including the parts about the future and some important content—I'm sorry, to prevent any unforeseen consequences."
As he said this, he immediately shared his memories with Superman.
About that dark multiverse... the worst outcomes, the dirtiest stories.
He even shared "Dark Multiverse Chronicles: Infinite Crisis" with Superman Supreme, a bad ending version of "Infinite Crisis" that allowed Superman Supreme to witness how his counterpart in that universe was dissolved by the Blue Beetle.
He then shared several more stories about the Dark Multiverse that he knew with Superman Supreme…
Those darkest, most insane, and most twisted legends almost enraged Superman.
"Ridiculous! Ridiculous! Barbatos, the Dark Multiverse Dragon? I've never heard of such a being before. And what about the World Forger, the Anti-Monitor's brother... Do you think I'd believe any of this? Do you think I'd...?"
Chen Tao felt that Supreme Superman was really blinded by anger. He wasn't sure if releasing Blood Slaughter at this moment would make Supreme Superman fall back into the control of anger, but he ultimately didn't do so.
Once a course of action has been decided, the worst thing to do is to change it frequently.
"That's utter nonsense. If we are the Dark Multiverse, and we are a projection of that Light World, the other side of the Light World, then my memories... all that I've experienced... you're lying to me, you bastard, what do you think..."
But his furious voice was interrupted by Chen Tao's even louder voice.
"Shut up! Accept reality. How long are you going to keep lying to yourself?"
"You used to be a comic book reader! Superman Supreme, so was I. You know very well the comics you've read, but you should know..."
Chen Tao said sadly, "The Dark Multiverse was only forged by the World Forger or by Barbatos after killing the World Forger, who spent a little time in the World Forge."
"Our world is unstable, disjointed, and incomplete. Our love and hate are meaningless; they are merely flawed creations shaped by the flick of a finger of some higher deity, or rough imitations of a more complete version of creation."
Chen Tao said, "Our world has no John Stewart, no Madame de Santiago, no Guy Gardner, no Constantine..."
(Note: The characters mentioned above are all mainstream DC characters. Two of them are key members of the Justice League Dark, and the other two are key members of the Green Lantern Corps publications.)
"Do you think I don't know? Do you think I, a comic book reader who is well-versed in comics, wouldn't understand that our world has always been flawed and will eventually be destroyed?"
"In every day and night I've watched over this world, haven't I ever looked back at my actions? Haven't I ever deeply realized that everything I've done is nothing more than Sisyphus pushing the boulder up the mountain?"
"Did you never consider that I might feel fear? Did you think I was a tireless monster? Did you think I was a cold-blooded machine?"
"But even so..."
Superman stared blankly at Batman.
Batman removed his mask.
The light from the Origin Wall illuminated the world before him, while Batman stood in the deep darkness behind him.
Those flowers, the sea, the highest-ranking souls, and the golden age, in a void of history, followed by shouts behind Batman.
He was almost in tears... but it was also like the illusion of Superman.
All he heard was Batman's hoarse voice.
"This is still my world."
"I...the world I live in."
He looked at Superman:
"But this isn't just my world, it's your world too, Superman Supreme."
"Your Majesty. I...I beg you."
Superman watched as Batman bowed his head before him.
Even in the darkest midnight, I still want to show you how much change can happen... even though I think you might have a hard time understanding.
"Because Your Majesty, you always see the worst and ugliest side of this world."
"But I beg you, Your Majesty, I beg you to forgive us, to tell us that there is still a chance to try, to tell us that the Dark Multiverse was not born to be destroyed. I beg you, and I beg you to give us a chance to believe in you."
"I want you to do what you have done before, Your Majesty."
He lowered his head deeply.
"In that golden age, you and countless other great heroes prevented the first crisis (the crisis on infinite earths). I implore you, I implore you, to uphold the principles of a hero even in the darkest and most devastated world."
I implore you to believe that the darkest night will eventually pass, and I implore you that even in this imperfect world, you can still save it, just as you have done before.
"I beg you never to forget who you are, Your Majesty. I beg you never to let anger and hatred blind your eyes or cloud your mind."
"You are Superman the Little One, but you are also Superman... Clark Kent."
Superman was slightly lost in thought... He almost didn't know what to say, but it was only almost.
Then his expression turned cold again.
"No. Even if you take me down from the wall, I will still kill you," said Superman Supreme.
He told the other person, "I'm not joking. You're surprised, aren't you? But to me, you're no different from the anti-surveillance activists. You're all just as disgusting. Maybe the anti-surveillance activists are a little more disgusting... but you should understand what I mean."
A broken piece of porcelain has no reason to be repaired; only by melting it down and remaking it can a complete vessel be obtained. Something that is broken and tattered is of no use.
He said, "I'm going to kill you all. Since this is the Dark Multiverse, I have the ability to reshape this world and create a better one."
He said, "Don't use the Primordial Earth to question my motives. Who do you think I am? I'm not a madman who wants to destroy the world just because I can't go home. Defining me with such a shallow reason is an insult to me."
He said, "I ask you to understand all of this, to understand that even so, I will not change my goal. Therefore, even so, are you still determined to remove me from the Origin Wall?"
But his question received a firm answer from Batman.
"Yes. I will still take you down from the Origin Wall... if you still want to kill me..."
Superman hesitated slightly when he saw Batman.
Then a martyr-like resolute expression appeared on his face:
"Let's get started."
……
……
……
Somewhere on Apokolips.
Darkseid is talking to the night owl.
About Batman... about the fact that Batman has to submit to them.
That is perhaps beyond doubt.
