Chapter 695 You guys are fighting, why am I punching myself with both fists?
Manipulating Parallax Morhal is not an easy task.
Compared to the Anti-Monitor, who can never truly escape the Hypertime Flow and can only create avatars to indirectly influence the current timeline of the Hypertime Flow, trying to deprive him of his free will is simply wishful thinking.
Even though Parallax Morhal is lying on the ground, Chen Tao and Barbatos can easily block him from their meeting by raising or waving their hands, creating a barrier of dark matter cosmic energy that prevents him from even hearing what they're saying.
But just because you can tie up a tiger and put it in a cage doesn't mean you can act like a tamer and make the tiger do what you command.
Therefore, in order to control Hal, the Anti-Monitor Dragon took several steps.
First, he partnered with the Emperor Joker, who captured Hal because he needed the Emperor Joker to willingly use fifth-dimensional energy to help him modify Hal's body.
He had absolutely no interest in the Emperor Joker's ridiculous, pointless game of choosing between Batman and innocent civilians.
But for his own purposes, he could patiently play along with the Joker, even tolerating conflicts between the Joker's plans and his own. For example, the completely useless William Hand, whom the Emperor Joker insisted on sparing, was utterly boring.
Okay, next, he dealt with the Emperor Clown, then arranged for the Time Trapped, until he was able to prove to Barbatos that he was the World Maker.
This is equivalent to a major silence effect on Barbatos, and even if Batman Dragon is able to reconcile with the other party, it will still distract Barbatos.
While working with the Joker, he had already planted a plan to control Parallax, Hal. The Joker helped him turn Hal into a "bomb," but with a slight modification to the bomb's circuitry, it could be remotely controlled.
Before the Emperor Joker joined forces with him to modify Howl's body, all the power within Parallax Howl was his own power, like a bottle of dye mixed with all kinds of paint.
All the power is mixed, intertwined, and completely at the disposal of Parallax Malfurion. Even though he can use the first Genie to absorb some of his own power from this mixed pigment, it still doesn't change the fact that all the power within Malfurion's body is still mixed together.
This is not a good thing for counter-surveillance advocates.
After being modified, all the powers within Hal's body became clearly separated, allowing them to react and explode.
Originally, at this point, the Anti-Monitor Dragon planned to kill the Emperor Jester and then directly control Hal, but he quickly realized that the Spirit of Being on Hal's chest had inadvertently become a natural explosion switch.
Given time, he could indeed disarm the switch, but his current actions to reclaim his freedom from Barbatos must have already attracted the attention of his two other brothers: the Watcher and the World Maker.
Now the Anti-Monitors must act quickly, while they are unable to transfer more power, to ensure that the Anti-Monitor Dragon avatar firmly establishes itself in the downstream of the Hypertime Stream, and Parallax Morhal is an extremely important bargaining chip.
However, this small being is a creation of the Dark Multiverse, exceeding the scope of the Anti-Monitor and instead invading the control of the World Builder. If it tries to manipulate it, it will inevitably be countered by the other party.
This is an unsolvable problem.
Unless he devours the Dark Multiverse as he did before, seizing its authority, but he no longer has the time for that. (Referring to the devouring of the Positive Matter Universe during the Crisis on Infinite Earths)
Violence is not an option either; violent demolition would only result in direct bombing.
So he had no choice but to continue playing the Emperor Joker's game, hoping that Batman Dragon could help him dismantle this switch he couldn't solve.
And now… all his plans, step by step, have been completely successful. Batman Dragon truly has a way to dismantle the Spirit of Being, and as the power of the Crimson of Being gradually replaces the Spirit of Being, the Spirit of Being also gradually leaves Parallax Morhal's body.
The Anti-Monitor Dragon sensed the Anti-Monitor power within Hal's body, slowly drawing it away from the mixed forces and gradually merging it, forming an independent energy cluster within Hal's body. The dragon felt increasingly delighted.
Meanwhile, Chen Tao and Barbatos are also working diligently on their plan to take control of Hal.
"You mean that once the spirit of existence leaves, all the power within Hal will dissipate? What does that mean?"
Chen Tao asked.
Barbatos used a combination of words and gestures to finally help Chen Tao, who had a terrible understanding of energy changes, to barely make sense of the changes happening inside Hal's body.
Simply put, Hal's previous power was the Northern Darkness Divine Art. No matter what random things he absorbed, whether it was antimatter cosmic energy or the energy of the Central Energy Battery, he mixed them all together.
But now, due to the Emperor Joker's modifications, Hal's energy has become a kind of "star-absorbing technique," and all the "internal forces" are working together for him under Hal's control, instead of merging together.
"So... what does this mean?"
"This means... oh my god, what... no... never mind, I'll just get to the conclusion."
Barbatos muttered to himself, looking a bit neurotic, as if he was constantly daydreaming.
Ever since he learned that the World Forger was still alive, no matter how much Chen Tao encouraged him, he remained in this crazy state, completely terrified.
Fortunately, his language skills were still intact: "We will use my dark matter cosmic energy to envelop all other energies, forming a large mass. In the process of entropy reduction, the synthetic matter flow..."
Chen Tao listened to his nonsensical ramblings for a while, then suddenly realized:
"It's like kneading dough. Different colored doughs require you to flatten one dough ball, then wrap it around the others, and then knead it again?"
"right."
With concise and to-the-point words, Chen Tao sorted out his thoughts. He gave Barbatos the task, and then had the seemingly fragile Barbatos, who appeared to be on the verge of going mad again, stand by. He planned to completely remove the Spirit of Existence from his chest.
Awooooo...
As Chen Tao completely pulled the Spirit of Existence out of Hal's chest, all the two-headed monsters on Earth 1 let out a croaking sound like frogs croaking in the rain.
At the same time, Hal sat up from the ground and found that he had regained complete control of his body. He immediately broke free from the position where Chen Tao had pressed his hand against his chest, and then floated into the air:
"Great, I'm reborn, Batman."
He regained his aloof and cold demeanor, and he trembled again. The Parallax Morhal with power and the powerless Parallax Morhal gave people completely different feelings.
He looked down at Chen Tao and said, "Well done. I know you cooperated with Barbatos to do all this, and I forgive you for this alliance with the villains."
He turned to look at Barbatos: "You..."
He was about to ask Barbatos to release Batman Dragon from his captivity when he immediately felt Barbatos's control over him.
Parallax Mohal was furious.
He looked at Chen Tao, who then shrugged: "Don't think I can do anything about this."
Chen Tao completely absolved himself of responsibility, and then he saw that neither Parallax Mohal nor Barbatos remained motionless.
Chen Tao knew that the two of them were vying for control of this body. He was unsure whether the dark matter cosmic energy that he and Barbatos had buried in each other's bodies could actually control the other.
Even if he can't control it, Hal's hatred is still directed at Barbatos. Batman is also "a righteous hero who has to team up with the evil villain Barbatos to save Hal."
From the grand narrative perspective of Parallax Demon Howl's "perfect world," Chen Tao's actions perfectly fit the image of a hostage who needs to be rescued. No matter how fast Howl's fist swings, it won't hit his head, right?
So he stood to the side and began to look at the constipated faces of the two of them.
Hal stood motionless in mid-air, but the expression on his face began to contort. He was already gray-haired and had sharp teeth due to parallax possession, and this contortion made him even more terrifying.
"Don't even think about controlling Batman to help you..."
Barbatos's face was obscured by his hood, but his voice still sounded strained.
Having fought against so many people for so long, Barbatos had exhausted a lot of his strength and was also injured. Even with Chen Tao's help, suppressing Parallax Mohal, this fierce tiger, was by no means an easy task, especially since this was not the World Forge.
He said to Chen Tao, "You have to help me out."
Chen Tao said, "I'm trying, but I'm not quite sure how to connect our strengths together."
Barbatos gave a few casual pointers, but Chen Tao's power was still not fully in place. He was too busy suppressing Hal to continue speaking.
Chen Tao was genuinely unaware that, having already become the Dragon of Barbatos, he could have received his own share of experience, wisdom, and any memories he needed from Barbatos, just like the Batman Who Laughs or other members of the Dark Knights. This included information on how to connect with Barbatos's power.
But Chen Tao didn't intend to add anything more to his head, and Barbatos didn't force him.
So they are merely in a state of mutual understanding, but there is no stirring of their souls. Chen Tao dares not let Barbatos read his mind, and Barbatos dares not let Chen Tao read his.
Given a little time, connecting to Barbatos's energy would be a natural and easy task, but right now it's a bit stuck.
It's hard to say whether it was accidental or intentional; it's more accurate to say it was intentional but accidental.
In short, the tug-of-war between Hal and Barbatos continues, but Chen Tao knows that the outcome will soon be decided. Barbatos can suppress Hal even without his help. Barbatos is not at his peak. Is Hal at his peak?
He would expend more power and suffer more injuries than Barbatos, so Chen Tao wasn't worried at all. Moreover, Hal could also deplete some of Barbatos' power, and Chen Tao was quite skilled at controlling his teammates' power.
But things soon started to go wrong.
Hal suddenly raised his other hand, and a huge green energy ball condensed in his palm.
Chen Tao hurriedly said to Barbatos, "You'd better stop Hal; this energy looks far too dangerous!"
"I'm trying," Barbatos said in a muffled voice, which was rough from pulling Hal with all his might.
"HAL, put away that energy!"
Chen Tao then turned to Hal and gave him orders.
"I didn't do it!" Hal yelled. "Why don't you turn around and look at the supervillain next to you?"
"I didn't do it either," Barbatos said.
Hal began to raise the energy he had gathered with his hand, and then slowly raised the energy ball toward Earth 1, which was not far away.
One can imagine that once the positive energy is released, the only fate of Earth 1 would be to be reduced to dust.
"You can't do that." Chen Tao had no choice but to intervene.
He leaped up, hooked onto Hal's arm, and then released himself. The dark matter cosmic energy he received from Barbatos and Barbatos's energy began to resonate.
This wasn't difficult to learn, and Chen Tao had experience as a servant god. In just a few seconds, he had already figured out some of the tricks.
He didn't help just now because he was deliberately unwilling to learn. If he really got angry, he could do it very quickly.
"You can't help Barbatos control my body!" Parallax Mohal said. "Once Barbatos controls me, he will cause unimaginable destruction."
"If I don't stop you now, you're going to destroy Earth 1," Chen Tao said.
"I didn't do it, someone is manipulating me," Parallax Mohal said. "And even if Earth 1 is destroyed, you can't let Barbatos control me, otherwise it won't just be Earth 1 that will be destroyed."
He said, "Even if Earth 1 is destroyed now, once I create a new perfect world, all the people on Earth 1 will be able to be resurrected."
Chen Tao completely ignored what Hal said.
With Chen Tao's help, Barbatos regained the upper hand, and at this point, he made his own judgment:
"My... Batman Dragon." Barbatos was about to say something like "my follower," but something felt off, so he reverted to the title Chen Tao had used after gaining the power of the servant god: "There is indeed a force vying with us for control of Parallax Morhal, and he now realizes we've discovered him. We must stop him!"
"What should we do?" Chen Tao asked.
"It's simple," Barbatos said. "We attack the central program."
The next second, Parallax Mohal's hand, which hadn't been raised to generate energy, suddenly flew up and punched himself, instantly causing the condensed energy ball to vanish without a trace.
Hal had just frowned when, in the next second, another fist slammed into his eye socket.
Hal silently lowered his head, looking at his left and right fists.
