Chapter 1028 Leading the Laughing Man on the Left, and the Hanged Man on the Right
Woof woof woof woof!
Chen Tao held the dog's leash, and Teddy, named Laughing Bat, was barking at the Void Hand.
"Can you control your dog?"
The Void Hand spoke to Chen Tao.
Chen Tao pretended not to hear.
Damn it, Laughing Bat, you're yelling so loudly, why don't you pounce on him and bite him? Why don't you do anything?
Why couldn't the Bat of Laughter pounce on the Void Hand and bite it, then be slapped to death by the Void Hand at the cost of having one leg bitten, and then let Chen Tao cook the Bat of Laughter's dog meat while kicking the Void Hand's sick leg?
"I'm going to beat up your dog, the Laughing Bat," said the Void Hand.
That's awesome! Why aren't we doing it yet?
Of course he won't take any action; the Void Hand isn't stupid.
Chen Tao sighed and put a collar on another Doberman named The Hanged Man.
Hehehehehehehe————
The Doberman Hanged Man breathed heavily on the Hand of Emptiness.
Then he turned his head and glanced at Chen Tao's expression from time to time.
Chen Tao gave him an approving look, then took out the meat and waved it in his hand.
All of the above are fantasies in Chen Tao's mind.
"Batman Dragon," the Batman Who Laughs called out to Chen Tao twice.
no response.
"Batman: The Dragon?"
Chen Tao looked at him leisurely.
"Oh, my dear little Teddy, what's up?"
The Laughing Bat: ————?
"I have a plan," said the Bat Who Laughs.
Chen Tao looked at him.
After he developed murderous intent towards him, the Batman Who Laughs acted as if nothing had happened and provided him with plans? Especially given that he had reached a basic agreement with the Hanged Man?
"You're not really planning to use your body as a vessel for Hecate and the Hanged Man to merge, are you?" the Batman Who Laughs said.
Chen Tao remained noncommittal; he did not give a direct answer.
"Maybe."
He said this.
"Perhaps you never intended to do this at all, and the reason you made the promise so casually is because you never planned to keep it."
"That's what the Bat of Laughter said."
Chen Tao pursed his lips: "So, what's the plan?"
He planned to let the maniacal laughter have its say.
To be honest, he still wasn't sure of the real intention behind the maniacal laughter, but now he had some guesses in his mind.
First of all, Papetua has not appeared. Chen Tao is well aware of the serious damage he has caused her before. At most, he has only pushed her back to the state of being imprisoned on the Origin Wall again, which is far from enough to make her give up.
Although Chen Tao deprived her of the part of her history where she successfully came down from the wall, the part of her history where Papetua had been constantly extracting crisis power from the DC multiverse on the Origin Wall to accumulate enough power had not been altered.
Therefore, Chen Tao was well aware that the other party lurking in the shadows was always one of the biggest threats he needed to face, and he could not afford to be complacent just because the other party had not appeared in front of him.
Although Perpetua did not appear before him, the Bat of Laughter jumped out. Chen Tao knew very well that Perpetua habitually sought out a spokesperson, and that the Mother of the Multiverse never held grudges. At least until she achieved her ultimate goal, everyone was a pawn that she could discard and replace at will.
So the instant Chen Tao saw the Bat of Laughter, he almost immediately concluded that Papetua was involved in the matter and that the two of them must have colluded again.
But Chen Tao never understood the ultimate purpose of the Laughing Bat and Papetua.
What he meant was that he knew perfectly well that one of them wanted to come down from the Origin Wall and the other wanted to rule the entire DC multiverse, but he didn't know exactly what means they planned to use to achieve their goals.
But now Chen Tao suddenly had a guess.
He needs to verify this now.
"If I say I don't have any plans, you definitely won't believe me, but if I reveal these plans, you'll think I'm trying to trick you. Batman Dragon, I think we need to have an open and honest talk."
Chen Tao waited for the laughing bat to speak.
No matter how clever a swindler is, it's impossible to successfully scam someone without even saying a word.
"I know you don't trust me at all, and I even guess you don't believe my previous reason for wanting to become the Lord of Magic—well, becoming the Lord of Magic isn't really my main motivation," the Bat of Laughter admitted to his face.
Admitting your true intentions is dangerous, as it means giving others leverage to manipulate you. However, conversely, by giving your actions a false, seemingly plausible motive, the laughing bat becomes virtually invincible.
The Bat Who Laughs chose the middle ground.
He intends to reveal part of the truth, but also withhold some.
Then he continued, "I intend to seize the power of Manhattan."
Chen Tao gave him a look that said, "Keep talking."
A chill began to creep into his heart.
He realized that the maniacal laughter was true, the Lord of Magic was indeed a facade, and the Manhattan Bat's magic was indeed what the maniacal laughter coveted.
It was also what he coveted.
Chen Tao knew very well that Dr. Manhattan's demise was inevitable, and the Doomsday Bell would inevitably toll. If the Batman Who Laughs preemptively seized the connecting power left in the DC multiverse after Dr. Manhattan's death, then the terrifying demon king "The Dark Knight," who devoured the entire DC multiverse in Chen Tao's memory, would begin to emerge.
This was something he absolutely could not accept, but in the current view of the Laughing Bat, it was impossible for Dr. Manhattan to just stand there and watch the show, and suddenly die with a snap.
The Batman Who Laughs hadn't read the comics like Chen Tao, so he didn't know about the Doomsday Bell. For the Batman Who Laughs, the demise of Doctor Manhattan was a process that he needed to push forward, rather than an inevitable event as Chen Tao had foreseen.
This discrepancy in information led the Batman Who Laughs to risk exposing his main objective by bringing in Batman Dragon and the Hanged Man to try and dismantle Doctor Manhattan through the Void Hand. It's likely that Papetua thought the same thing.
Having witnessed Dr. Manhattan's previous actions, both ambitious figures like the Batman Who Laughs and female demons like Perpetua viewed Dr. Manhattan, with his extraordinary strength, as the only obstacle to their grand ambitions.
This situation is far more directed at Manhattan than at Chen Tao.
"You and I are now part of the Manhattan Bat, a part of it. I'm starting to believe what you once told me about us being two sides of the same coin. The timeline is such a mess. I have a plan, Batman: The Dragon. I have a plan."
"We're going to create a fake miracle machine, and then use the Hanged Man—"
"Let's set fire to Dr. Manhattan and his Watchmen universe."
