Chapter 588 The Superman in this universe talks a lot of nonsense, Bat
Chapter 588: This universe's Superman talks a lot of nonsense; Batman wipes out the Nonsense Alliance.
As Superman Batman led Chen Tao and Bane to the Justice League Watchtower in this universe, Chen Tao kept thinking about a question.
He really wanted to complain when he first read the comic...
Faced with Wonder Woman, whose body has been possessed by Hecate, the witch goddess of this universe, the other two members of the Justice League's Big Three in this universe displayed...
Amazing stupidity.
Chen Tao knew that the superheroes of the Dark Multiverse all had some minor, fatal flaws, which usually caused their histories to deviate slightly from the main universe.
Initially, this cosmic Wonder Woman was not completely swallowed.
She sealed Hecate inside her body, but Phoebus, the Olympian god of fear in this universe, tricked the US government into killing Wonder Woman's mother, Hippolyta, and her best friend, Steve Trevor, which greatly shook Wonder Woman's mind.
With the death of the witch Circe, the witch goddess Hecate was finally reborn.
She first stormed into Olympus, attempting to kill all the gods to absorb their energy, but later discovered that the gods' energy came from faith, and that people now worshipped superheroes.
So she devised a plan to murder the heroes. She found all the Amazon warriors scattered across the land due to the American attack on Paradise Island, those desperate Amazons. Wearing the face of Diana from Paradise Island, she gave them sweet promises. What happened next was obvious: the Amazon army following Queen Hecate directly stormed the White House.
And having come to this point, as the Batman of this world...
They didn't even know whether Wonder Woman Diana was possessed by Hecate.
The entire Justice League was completely bewildered as they tried to persuade Diana. When they discovered that Diana had been controlled, what did Batman, the brilliant and resourceful strategist of the Justice League, do?
He lunged forward, attempting to kill Queen Hecate with his bare hands.
I don't want bat armor, airplanes, or tanks; I'm going to use my mortal body to crush a demigod.
Three frames later, this universe's Batman was instantly killed. Queen Hecate swiftly thrust the spear he had snatched from the Amazon warrior beside him into his neck; if he had been prepared, he wouldn't have died so easily.
The Flash hesitated and was instantly killed, along with a whole host of other superheroes.
And the way Superman died later was even more hilarious.
In this universe, the weaknesses of all Justice League members are magnified infinitely. As the strongest member of the Justice League, even with the debuff of low magic resistance, Superman in this universe may still be the only superhero who can face Queen Hecate head-on without being instantly killed.
He even punched Empress Hecate, making her nose bleed, and threw her out of the White House, knocking her off a cliff.
And at this crucial moment, he started making mistakes again.
Superman from the main universe: When encountering a villain, we must first knock him to his knees to ensure he poses no threat before trying to reason with him. If he doesn't listen, I'll knock him to the ground again to ensure he's no longer a threat before trying to reason with him.
The main universe's Superman really likes this combination of moves. When facing a group of vigilantes who kill each other, he even deliberately pretended to turn evil to defeat them and teach them how terrifying it is to set up a court without distinguishing right from wrong.
But no matter what, the Superman in the main universe always beats people up before reasoning with them.
But the Superman in this universe is different: when I encounter a villain, I just keep talking nonsense to him. I clearly have the ability to defeat him, yes, but I just won't do it.
I want to awaken the love in the villain's heart, and then make him stop fighting on his own. I want to subdue the enemy without a fight.
I clearly had the ability to defeat the villain, and the villain also had the ability to kill me, but I had no vigilance whatsoever. Instead of defeating him and then wasting time talking, I exposed my weaknesses to him and gambled my life on the truth, goodness, and beauty in his heart!
When Chen Tao watched it back then, he was deeply impressed by this Superman who talked a lot of nonsense. He had at least three chances to beat Wonder Woman down and then slowly try to wake her up, but the Talkative Superman just kept talking nonsense and trying to awaken Wonder Woman in Queen Hecate's body to rebel against her.
The ending, of course, was that after Queen Hecate killed enough heroes and absorbed even greater power, she ripped out Superman's heart with a single claw.
Talkative Chao died because he talked too much nonsense; usually, only villains get this kind of fate—dying from talking too much…
Therefore, given Chen Tao's understanding of this cosmic superhuman, the next step...
"I'm fucking about to die."
Justice League Watchtower in the world of Queen Hecate.
Chen Tao mingled among a bunch of colorful heroes. Since this dark multiverse is a reflection of the main universe, "War of the Gods," most of the heroes were dressed in a "pre-crisis" style, which is quite retro.
Simply put, it's colorful and quite flashy.
Chen Tao even spotted the second-generation Blue Beetle Ted and the golden vanguard of this dark multiverse, who were arm in arm, looking like best buddies in the crowd.
Retro, so very retro.
But that's not the point. The point is...
"I'm going crazy, I'm really going to die. I'd rather fight the anti-surveillance people shirtless for 300 rounds than have this meeting again."
Chen Tao stared blankly, while beside him, a large number of heroes cheered for Superman on the stage.
The problem is, they've been cheering for almost an hour, aren't they tired?
Oh no, most of these heroes are superhuman; their stamina is indeed different from that of ordinary people.
Chen Tao stared blankly. He had never attended a meeting in his life that was so, so, so lacking in information.
He didn't understand. Superman just kept spouting nonsense on stage, spouting platitudes about truth, goodness, and beauty, while the heroes around him cheered like they'd lost their minds. Even the animated film version of Crisis on Infinite Earths wasn't this boring.
But Chen Tao was too embarrassed to interrupt the other party. Since he had come to help the magicians of this universe, he should first gain their favor, right?
He also needs to help deal with the crisis in this universe to prevent the universe from being destroyed because he took people away, right?
He can't forcibly kidnap all the magicians, otherwise he wouldn't be a superhero, he'd be the Batman Who Laughs.
Chen Tao wore a bitter expression. Fortunately, he wasn't really stupid enough to waste time. Instead, he used a clay face to create a dummy and went to prepare for dealing with Queen Hecate. He only left some nanobots to listen to the sounds at the scene, in case Hurricane said anything important and he would have to listen to the recording later.
Even listening remotely, Chen Tao was already getting annoyed to the point of exhaustion.
"I think what he said is quite good." Bain, sitting next to Chen Tao, smiled. If Chen Tao hadn't witnessed him meditating and communicating with the three natural energies of the universe, his words would have been even more convincing.
"Don't you find it moving?" Bain said, "about courage, dreams, and heroic acts of morality." He looked at the rambling Chao on stage at a 45-degree angle, pretending to be genuine.
Chen Tao's eyes widened. Damn Bain, he's actually learned to tease him now?
How dare you!
At this moment, the Nonsense Master's speech finally ended, and Chen Tao breathed a sigh of relief.
He remotely controlled the avatar made of clay face and nanobots, turning it slightly to get a little closer, listening intently to Nonsense's plan to attack the White House, which had been occupied by Empress Hecate.
"We must believe in Diana, believe that Diana will be able to defeat the evil Hecate with her own will. This time we are not going to fight, but to believe in our teammate. We must sincerely use love and sincerity to influence Diana and give her strength, the greatest strength in the world..."
Chen Tao is going crazy.
He suppressed the urge to jump onto the stage and slap Fei Huachao, and restrained his thoughts of attacking him, thus calming himself down a bit.
He turned to the side, and a spatial rift opened not far away. Chen Tao's true form returned at that moment, replacing his empty shell.
The empty shell transformed back into its original form, and Chen Tao no longer needed to remotely control the empty shell to listen to the situation on site.
Chao is still rambling on and on, skip ahead, keep skipping.
Now comes the main event.
"We absolutely cannot choose to launch a direct assault. Many of the Amazon warriors guarding the gates were our friends in the past. We must persuade them, and then persuade Diana once we get inside."
Chen Tao waited for a while. At first, he thought it was just an opening or a backup plan C, but then he realized that the other party had nothing else to say, and he couldn't help but facepalm.
The League still hasn't figured out that Wonder Woman is being controlled by Hecate, and this talk therapy plan...
All we can say is that in the comics, they did manage to get past the Amazonian warriors guarding the gate with their looks and words, and after perfectly putting this into practice, they died at the hands of Queen Hecate.
"If no one objects, then let's set off peacefully..."
"I object!"
Chen Tao raised his hand among the sparse crowd of heroes.
Superman is incompetent, causing national humiliation and loss of sovereignty; it seems I must return to power.
To be honest, Chen Tao hadn't originally planned to go himself. He thought Superman Batman would help him with the introductions, but after learning more, he found out that Superman Batman was just a henchman in the League, similar to a brute like King Kong or Li Kui...
So simply put, he is not well-suited to be a leader.
therefore……
He had no choice but to go himself. He strode out of the crowd, and the superheroes exchanged bewildered glances before turning their attention to the superhero Batman.
The other party began to introduce Chen Tao, who originally intended to share his memories with everyone using telepathic connection, but was stopped by the Martian hunter from this universe.
The other party's telepathic abilities were quite strong, and Chen Tao understood this perfectly. After all, as the Justice League's mental defender, he couldn't allow an unknown entity to connect to the heroes' minds at will; otherwise, if the other party harbored malicious intent, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Chen Tao was quite satisfied with this. The Martian Manhunter in this universe had basic safety awareness, which alone was enough to crush the rest of the Justice League.
"...So that's how it is. He has memories of...we need his help to deal with Empress Hecate, who is now completely..."
"Stop, stop, stop for a second."
A hero stepped forward and walked to Chen Tao, who was standing on the conference room podium.
Then he circled around Chen Tao twice, and even reached out and pinched Chen Tao's arm.
Chen Tao: ?
The other person's bowl cut and reddish-brown hair, as well as the Green Lantern uniform he was wearing, reminded him of someone—a Green Lantern who didn't exist in his Dark Multiverse but did exist in the main universe.
Guy Gardner, the Green Lantern, is known as the greatest Red Lantern. Although he is the Green Lantern, he once dethroned Atositas from the Red Lantern throne.
Then he walked up to Chen Tao and wagged his finger at Chen Tao in a cheeky manner.
"You...can't do it."
Gaygardner pointed at Chen Tao's arm, clutching his stomach: "Where did you come from, villain? You fooled Batman, that idiot. Of all people to impersonate, you had to pretend to be Batman. Look at you, skinny and wiry, you're not even as good as our Batman."
He waved to the superhero Batman not far away: "No matter how you look at it..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Tao was thunderstruck.
Thin... skinny and withered?
Is this...is this about me?
Chen Tao was in a daze when Guy Gardner, who had been jumping around, brazenly scratched his chin: "Where did you come from, villain? Trying to come to the Justice League to change your diaper?"
Chen Tao clenched his fist. He knew that the heroes of the Dark Multiverse would amplify his weaknesses and diminish his strengths. Therefore, this Dark Multiverse version of Gai completely inherited and amplified the main universe Gai's annoying personality and terrifying recklessness. All of this was reasonable, and he couldn't attack the other party just because of that.
"Oh, you want to fight me? Come on, come on, hit me here!" Gagardner continued, "I can tell you're a fraud the moment I see you. On the contrary, this burly guy next to you is quite impressive..."
Chen Tao took a deep breath and gave him a forced smile: "You can..."
"Hey, want to join the Justice League? As long as you're a good person, the League can pay your social security contributions..."
Then Chen Tao abruptly interrupted him.
"Listen, you can't even sneeze without permission."
"Ha, what stupid thing are you talking about—"
With one punch, Green Lantern Guy Gardner didn't even have time to activate his Green Lantern Defense before he was sent spinning 365 degrees in mid-air.
It lay stiffly, like a corpse, on the ground with a thud.
Seeing this, the talkative Chao did not stop them at all, but continued to spout nonsense:
"Ah, peace is the most precious thing, peace is the most precious thing, and we should never resort to violence."
Chen Tao stopped wasting time with unnecessary words.
While Talkative Superman was still talking, Chen Tao had already teleported to the surroundings. Talkative Superman clearly realized this, but he still stubbornly insisted, "Don't make a move, making a move will only cause..."
The next second, Chen Tao poured a huge pile of kryptonite on his head. Fei Huachao clutched his neck and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Then he turned his head, looked at the other superheroes in the hall, and revealed a...
His mouth stretched from ear to ear, radiating sunshine, cheerfulness, peace, and kindness.
A slight smile.
From the other person's perspective, he was probably glowing red.
