Chapter 1105 Reincarnation 52 Times... You are the Bat Legion!
We often stand too high and fly too far. This is what distinguishes us from those lofty gods like Papetua and the World Maker.
We are human beings.
Some say that once you defeat the gods, you can never go back to being a mortal.
To some extent, this is true, but it can't be considered true either.
I am Chen Tao.
I flew over desolate and dilapidated cities and saw countless dinosaurs and monsters roaming the ground due to a distortion of time and space.
I flew through the night sky, and history was stirred by my actions.
Those who died have been resurrected by me, and erroneous history has been corrected by me. I will do my best to guide them onto the right path. They were innocent victims caught in the throes of this immense catastrophe.
History may be rewritten, but because few remember, many of them will forever embrace the Lady of Death.
Their names are as numerous as the stars in the sky. I know it's just a drop in the ocean. In the infinite multiverse, with countless victims, you can't save everyone in Pompeii when volcanic ash erupts.
But at least this is it, at least for now.
But I'm finally reaching the end of my road.
I am Chen Tao.
I am extremely tired.
But this is my task.
I need to go wherever I am needed.
I still have a lot of time. The advantage of becoming a god is that time has a different meaning for you than for others. You can wander around on the established concrete road and spend a lot of time stopping those wrong directions.
People won't even remember you.
They thank you, then forget you the moment you've fixed their history.
But that's exactly what I wanted.
A better tomorrow.
This is my mission: to keep people from giving up hope. That doesn't sound very Batman, does it?
I am not Batman after all.
Batman was supposed to be the problem solver, but I messed things up so badly.
But it doesn't matter.
I will solve the problem.
The process may have been a bit messy, but everything will be alright.
This is my mission: to keep people from giving up hope, to make them feel less alone, and to give them confidence in the future.
This is the duty of a superhero.
Maybe I can't be considered Batman yet, but I can at least be considered a superhero.
Just like I once wanted to do.
If the entire multiverse can survive this darkest night—
They will surely see the sunrise; they need to believe in the existence of tomorrow.
They need hope.
I am Dr. Manhattan.
For some reason, the future that I couldn't perceive before has started to reappear, and I don't yet understand why it's happening.
Therefore, I am here waiting for Batman: Dragon.
That most crucial moment.
The so-called "time travel".
Batman: Dragon is really interesting.
You see, I've discovered that it doesn't have a true origin. All the origins we've found in the DC multiverse are simply things it created upstream from downstream of the hypertime stream.
These are all false origins, or perhaps they are also true origins, but the origin comes after the result.
A chicken created its own history while it was inside an egg, and you can't say that the egg's history is fake.
But shouldn't the normal situation be that the egg came first and then the chicken?
In essence, its existence is different from that of the Joker, another character with a different origin. The Joker's origin...
It's just messy, but most of the time it's a case of the egg coming before the chicken.
But Batman: The Dragon?
The oldest "egg" he could find is right now.
Doctor Manhattan, concealed, swaggered around with his massive blue eagle, watching Batman's dragon with keen interest.
Or perhaps the Batman Dragon, who just "traveled" here, is trying out the toilet paper in the Batcave.
Ok.
At this point, he had not yet mastered how to use the Alfred Protocol and was trying to use the toilet paper in the Batcave to trigger himself to become Batman from a parallel universe.
After discovering that the toilet paper was useless, he could only leave in disappointment and then continue trying the treasures in the Bat Cave.
Dr. Manhattan continued reading along the timeline.
He has indeed devoured the timeline of the DC multiverse, but this "devouring of the timeline" has not solidified in the hypertime flow.
This is the biggest characteristic of the DC multiverse: no matter what you do, the time flow will force you into a "cooling-off period" for divorce. Even if the DC multiverse explodes, the time flow can still make you retract it in an emergency.
In the context of time travel, nothing is irreversible before things freeze. Even if history freezes, as long as a certain price is paid, like when the third Time Soldier died at the hands of Parallax Morhal in place of the first Time Soldier, time travel also has flexibility.
Therefore, just as Chen Tao had time, Dr. Manhattan also had time to properly examine the entire origin story of Batman: Dragon and observe the early stages of his heroic career.
0h, Batman Dragon is threatened by Bane, and he is now trying his best to fight Bane.
He hired some mercenaries, Cheshire Cats, Deathshooters, and took control of the ventriloquists.
oh----
Dr. Manhattan walked through history, and he saw it. This group of people, manipulated by Batman Dragon, hired Killer Croc.
Wait.
What does it mean that Killer Croc complained about not having enough money and got into a fight with the mercenary squad, then Bane came over and killed all the mercenaries, and then rushed over and killed Batman Dragon as well?
Dr. Manhattan was suddenly stunned, because he realized that the timeline before him was completely different from what he had seen in the previous time travel.
Doctor Manhattan blankly revealed himself on the corpse of Batman Dragon, then he noticed that the entire history of the DC multiverse was collapsing—
It's as if the history of DC's multiverse was originally a collapse, but someone used foam plastic and superb repair skills to create a fake road, and forcibly let the car drive over it while gravity wasn't paying attention.
Dr. Manhattan suddenly realized that when he was not observing this history, it was in an intermediate state between collapse and non-collapse.
And when he began to study the origin story of Batman: Dragon —
History will immediately begin to collapse.
If the history of Batman Dragon differs from before, then everything Dr. Manhattan experienced before will be erased, the Batman Dragon universe will be destroyed by the mortal Mobius, then the Anti-Monitor will still trigger the Multiverse Convergence as usual, then fail again, the World Forger will trigger the 6th Dimension event, Perpetual will die, and the entire history of the DC multiverse will be unrecognizable due to the non-existence of Batman Dragon.
If Dr. Manhattan intends to continue his experiments and advance his efforts to destroy the DC multiverse—
He seems to be—
Shouldn't we step in and fix Chen Tao's past?
Dr. Manhattan thought for a moment and then stepped in to fix it.
He has now figured out the characteristics of the hyper-time flow; others can undo it, and so can he, Dr. Manhattan.
If he can withdraw his move at any time, why not give it a try?
Poor Dr. Manhattan was completely unaware that while he was reading the history of Batman: The Dragon, he had overlooked the sound emitted when the Alfred Protocol was first activated.
"—The lamplight shines brightly, its brilliance enduring through the ages!"
"Welcome to Batman #52, the Bat-Legion!"
