Chapter 806 This time, the plan went smoothly without any surprises.
Honestly, Chen Tao didn't have any particular expectations regarding the success or failure of the first Lantern Knight.
Since you've come from the future, don't you know how to deal with the Maniac Laughter? With you suppressing the Maniac Laughter, I finally have some rare time to retire and rest.
Chen Tao hasn't had a break in a long time, and he hasn't completely let loose like this in a long time, becoming a pure attacker.
Simply stopping the other party and following their orders was already a luxury for him.
He had been sailing on the vast ocean for too long, and now that he had finally found a harbor where he could rest for a while, how could Chen Tao not try to get close to it?
To him, Genie #1 was merely a humanoid tool to help him fight the Batman Who Laughs; as long as it achieved his goal, anything was acceptable.
Although this "whatever you want" scenario included actually having the first Genie cut Earth-15 off the main universe, Chen Tao instinctively felt that this was something he would find very difficult to accomplish.
But the safety of Heroes Day is not included in this whole plan!
Hero Day plays a very important role in Chen Tao's subsequent plans, especially after he found the corpse of the World Forger.
Only Chen Tao knew about this.
Chen Tao would never allow him to run into any problems.
So he stood in front of Heroes' Day, unmoved by the pleas of the first Lantern Knight.
I will not allow you to put my friend in danger by stealing the world's sword from the Day of Heroes... If the sword maker no longer intends to return it to me and has given up on completing the cycle of history, then stealing the sword from the sword maker through the Day of Heroes is suicide, killing not only yourself but also my friend.
Chen Tao isn't stupid. If this action leads the World Forgers to discover the anomaly in Hero Day, he'll be devastated.
The Dream God of the Endless Family can help Hero Day steal the corpse of the World Forger without his knowledge, but if Lantern Number One uses Hero Day to steal the sword, no matter what method he uses, the fact that Hero Day has escaped control is at risk of being exposed.
Even a sleep demon might not be able to fool its opponent under such circumstances.
Chen Tao knew that refusing the first Lantern Knight under these circumstances would inevitably provoke the other party's wrath, but even if it did, he had to stop it...
Chen Tao had only thought halfway through when he felt a pair of hands on his shoulders. He turned around and saw that it was Heroes' Day.
His hands, covered in bone spurs, pressed down on Chen Tao's shoulders.
When Chen Tao saw the look in the other person's eyes, he had a bad feeling. Sure enough, Hero Ri said to him, "Okay, I can. I can help you steal the sword."
Chen Tao felt a sudden urgency. Heroes' Day was just another day of showing off. Only heroes of the golden age would do something like this, indiscriminately saving anyone who asked for their help.
This is such an old comic; later readers don't like this kind of foolish plot. Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, yet still venturing into them—that's called reckless courage.
"Wait a moment."
He stopped Heroes' Day.
"Will you help me, Bat?" Hero Day asked.
Chen Tao was a bit at a loss.
What can he do? Beat the other guy up and take him back? Or, like he did with Darkseid, put a spell on Hal the Green Lantern and put nanobots to control him?
No, I can't. Hero Day made the decision, and I can't forcibly interfere with his actions, otherwise...
Chen Tao sighed.
"Listen to me, there's no need for that. You're not an ordinary person; you bear the weight of the multiverse," Chen Tao said. "You're more important than any of them. Think about it. You know who created you; he's the world-builder. He's far more dangerous than we imagine."
If you were to die helping Genie Ace, what would you do...?
Chen Tao's tone softened somewhat at first: "Are you really going to leave me to deal with the World Forgers all by myself? Yours are my enemies too?"
Don't be fooled by Chen Tao's constant sweet talk; if he could, he would definitely intervene. Seriously, don't take him for a fool. Chen Tao's bottom line is far lower than that of a typical hero. That's just his personality.
But now, with the god of dreams, Sleep Demon, protecting him, there is only one person who still has the chance to manipulate the other:
That is his creator, the world-maker himself!
Chen Tao lacked the status of a sixth-dimensional deity, the power to erase such status, and the means to control others. He was powerless to control Heroes' Day.
Therefore, he will probably be forced to accept the choice of Hero Day.
"I know, if you want to stop me, you actually can." Then Chen Tao heard Hero Ri say this:
"Your control over my body, and your own power... if you really want to stop me, I will not help you so easily."
"You're not stopping me just because you don't want to, so you're making up an excuse."
Chen Tao remained silent.
"Thank you, my friend," Chen Tao said upon hearing Hero Ri's words. "You're a good person."
Chen Tao was inexplicably given a "friend zone" card, which made him somewhat irritable. The unknown and the fear he felt put a lot of pressure on him.
He waved his hand impatiently, interrupting Hero Ri, and then asked the old man, Huo Rong, "How do I get that sword?"
"It's very simple, a creation of the world's forgers..."
As the old man said this, Hero Ri's expression became somewhat complicated when he heard the words "creation".
"Hero's body is intertwined with the causal connection to the World Forger. I can deconstruct the World Forger in reverse through the resonance of the emotional spectrum between the two of them, thereby obtaining the exact location of the sword."
The elderly evil spirit said on the telepathy channel:
"I have two plans. First, I will smuggle myself into the world of the World Forgers and steal the sword directly. Second, there is another method: I can summon the sword remotely. You don't know this, but when the World Forgers forged this sword, they incorporated a lot of emotional spectrum..."
"Alright, that's enough. Use Plan 1." Chen Tao gave the order directly, interrupting the other party.
Why the hell is there such a wide range of emotions in the sword?
Because when Chen Tao gave this crowbar to the World Founders, he stuffed it with as much emotional spectrum energy as possible!
This was something Chen Tao did secretly. Although the first Lantern Knight, who had reloaded his save file multiple times, also discovered this information, he simply treated it as a "fait accompli" and did not understand why such a situation had occurred.
Of course, Chen Tao couldn't be so foolish as to let the first Lantern Knight use the Emotion Spectrum technique to remotely summon the sword. Otherwise, wouldn't all his efforts to give the crowbar mixed with the energy of the Emotion Spectrum to the World Builder have been in vain?
Who would understand? When someone is making a plan, they unintentionally ruin your plan, and the key is that they don't even know it. They're completely clueless. How could Chen Tao allow such a thing to happen?
"Ah, actually..."
"I'll go with you," Chen Tao said, silencing the old man. The sword and the spectrum of emotions it contained were a hidden threat, one of his few means of controlling the world's creators, and it absolutely could not be destroyed here by the First Lantern Knight.
He ended his conversation with the elderly Calamity and then spoke with the first Lantern Knight in front of him.
The first Lantern Man in front of us seems unaware of the existence of the Old Calamity, but its plans are exactly the same as the Old Calamity's, or rather, the Old Calamity has used some method to guide the first Lantern Man's actions.
"Alright, then..." The elderly Calamity, while watching the conversation between Batman Dragon and his younger self, nodded, then turned to Hero Day:
"Batman Dragon will tell Superman the truth, and then help..."
He made it sound so easy, but Chen Tao silently clicked his tongue. The Supreme Superman wasn't stupid; lying to him was far more difficult than he imagined. Not only did he have to control his heartbeat, but he also had to pray that the Supreme Superman thought his reasoning was plausible.
He was struggling to organize his thoughts; it was time to test his eloquence. He had to make a ridiculous excuse sound true.
"Superman..." Then he saw Superman looking down at him.
Supreme Little Superman waited for Chen Tao to speak. Chen Tao was organizing his thoughts, and for a moment, both of them fell silent, their attention focused on each other.
But at that moment, something unexpected happened.
Just as Batman was talking to the first Lantern, Hero Day suddenly clutched his stomach, opened his mouth, and began to gag.
vomit!
A chilling rumble came from his stomach, and this unusual sound made him look up: "I need help..."
vomit!
He's started again.
This strange reaction, resembling morning sickness, made Chen Tao hold his head. Then he saw the other person's stomach make a deafening roar, and then, a sword covered in mucus was vomited up!
Not to mention everyone present, even the Supreme Little Superman was stunned by what he saw.
Chen Tao realized what this thing was in just two seconds.
That sword!!!
The world's forgers just gave them this sword!
Help! What kind of conspiracy is this?!
Chen Tao was still somewhat incredulous. He moved a little closer to sense the backhand he had left on the sword and the level of its forging. He could only say that the World Forger was indeed a sixth-dimensional god whose skill was forging. The power of this sword was immense, not at all inferior to the pointed iron hammer in the World Forger's palm.
Chen Tao quickly scanned the sword again, worried that the same thing he had done to the World Forger was being done to him.
He didn't even dare to touch the sword, feeling that if he did, something might be secretly launched.
But Chen Tao is not a sixth-dimensional god; he cannot view the issue from the perspective of the world's creator.
For the World Forger, he had long seen through the fact that Old Man Calamity's plan was an impossible one, but it could also help him weaken Superman Supreme, so he was happy to see it happen.
Since it's destined to fail, there's no harm in offering some assistance to the plan.
Anyway, he branded that sword, and the World Forger could summon him back at any time, just as he could summon Heroes Day at any time; they were all things under his control.
Therefore, for this reason, the World Forger casually discarded the sword, throwing this long-awaited final step in front of the old scourge.
He didn't need to enter the world's foundry territory and risk his life to steal, nor did Chen Tao need to risk exposing his secrets by doing it remotely.
All you need to do is reach out, pick up the sword, and everything is in your hands.
The first Lantern Knight raised his sword in disbelief.
Like Chen Tao, he couldn't believe his success.
He even worried that he wouldn't be recognized...
So easily, so very...
It feels unreal, and blissful.
Superman Supreme began to sense something was amiss. He saw Genie I rush forward, raise the sword on the ground, and then, right before Superman Supreme's eyes, make a slight slash in the air.
The next moment, even the timeline itself began to tremble.
Like a gentle breeze, like a spring breeze, the whole world seemed to change in an instant.
"You dare!"
Even the most foolish Superman realized he'd been tricked at this point. He jumped up, trying to stop Genie E. His fist glowed red, but in an instant, Chen Tao, Old Man Calamity, Foolish Owl, and Barbatos Genie E. appeared together in some corner of the Earth.
This place is all ruins and desert.
With a loud bang, the portal closed.
Oh, of course. Foolish Owl is still sealed by Superman Supreme's bio-field.
"You're just moving the location here? Superman will be here in a few minutes," Chen Tao said. "We have to change..."
"We have arrived in the infinitely extending future on the main universe's timeline," said the elderly Calamity. His voice echoed in Chen Tao's ears through the telepathic barrier:
"Superman's speed is unparalleled, but time travel is not his forte, even for a Time Trapped. It will take some time just to locate us. Thank you very much. Now that everything is in place, I can begin to merge the three timelines back into the main universe using the energy accumulated by Maniac Laughter and you all in the Cosmic Tuning Fork."
He said, "Once this is done, even more crisis energy will arise, and with the compounding interest, the division will begin completely."
Beside him, equally trembling with excitement, was the first Lantern Knight.
Chen Tao knew that from the perspective of the first Lantern Knight, the old man and the shadow man were simply non-existent. For him, he succeeded on his first try. It was as if the heavens were sending him to succeed!
Chen Tao was waiting for an unexpected event.
I always felt that things wouldn't be so easy to accomplish.
but in fact……
There were no surprises.
