Chapter 1113 Barbatos is drenched in sweat
Luther's face darkened.
His patience had been exhausted by the prolonged siege of the World Forge, and what worried Luther most was that he vaguely sensed that his actions, from the past to the present, seemed to be quietly influenced by a force he was unaware of.
It must be said that Luthor's perception is very sharp. He doesn't know how the Justice League and the Batmen of the main universe are guiding him, but his intuition has already given him the answer. All that's left is to confirm it.
Regardless, Barbatos's obstruction of Luther infuriated him enough. That damn bastard! Was he just going to cower like a coward?
"call----"
He let out a long breath, and his expression calmed down again.
Since a direct assault on the world's melting pot is unlikely, the only option left is to find a roundabout way to achieve our goal.
Ultimately, Luthor followed the guidance of the gorilla Grodd simply because he believed that such guidance would help him profit from the chaos of the battle between Batman: Dragon and Doctor Manhattan.
He's obeying orders now because obtaining X-metal from the World Forge would also benefit him, but if that's not possible now, he'll have to find other ways to collect the Crisis Energy. Whether he escapes the DC Multiverse or tries to outmaneuver both sides in the battle, that's Luther's own business. Yes, he will definitely do it—
Because that's what a loser is like.
Doesn't he realize that Batman Dragon is now unstoppable after defeating Perpetua and the Void Hand in their final battle against Manhattan? Doesn't he realize that after being arrested on the spot by the World Forgers, he is effectively out of the game, with little hope of completing his plan?
He knew this, of course, but that was not a reason for him to give up. Just like Barbatos, who was hiding in the furnace of time, he was merely concealing himself and waiting for the opportunity to unleash his ambition.
"Let's get out of here first, Black Manta," Luther said. "We—wait, what?"
Luther was suddenly startled, for he discovered that the World Forge seemed to have switched to some kind of state under Barbatos's manipulation—
A more effective mode for dealing with powerful enemies?
Luther immediately saw an opportunity and began operating rapidly on the ship's control panel. If the space of the World Forge had become harder to cope with stronger enemies, a ship like his could use Atom's shrinking technology to find a way to sneak into the World Forge in the microscopic world.
This method is far simpler than the power of the fifth dimension. The reason he didn't use it before was that the dark matter cosmic energy that filled the world furnace would pulverize their spaceship before they entered the microscopic world, but now the situation has changed.
But at that moment, the gorilla Grud beside him began to convulse.
"No----"
"What?"
Luther was taken aback.
"Don't go in!" the gorilla Grodd screamed, warning, "Don't go in! It's extremely dangerous—Chen Tao, the Batman Dragon, is inside, and he's not the Batman Dragon you used to know—"
Luther stopped what he was doing. He pulled the hover lever, strode up to the gorilla Grodd, and grabbed him by the neck: "Why is Batman's Dragon Chen Tao at the Forge of Heaven? What does he want to do to Barbatos?"
Upon realizing he was in terrible danger, Luther's first reaction was not to follow Groud's instructions to escape, but rather to feel excited.
While everyone else saw a crisis, he saw an opportunity.
The gorilla Grodd could have kept quiet. If he had, Luther wouldn't have known what was coming, and without that information, he wouldn't have taken certain actions.
But the gorilla Grodd still spoke.
"He needs it. He needs Barbatos to leave the World Forge and help him act as a node to absorb the crisis energy and counter-crisis energy of the entire DC multiverse."
"In other words, whether Barbatos agrees or not, he will leave the World Forge." Luther drew his conclusion directly, and then his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"Yes, so let's run! We need to avoid Batman's Dragon—"
“No,” Luther said, “we’re going in—to become the masters of the Forge of Worlds right under Batman Dragon’s nose!”
Batman: The Dragon is not a friendly visitor.
Barbatos knew he was facing a terrifying enemy.
He was able to suppress him and cause him to suffer repeated setbacks when the opponent was very weak. But now he is back, with the most terrifying power in the entire DC multiverse. He has returned as the king!
Barbatos didn't want to be captured by Batman Dragon at all. This state of being controlled was the most intolerable thing for Barbatos. Barbatos still had a chance. Batman Dragon was currently fighting against Doctor Manhattan. If he could hold out for a little while, he could drag it out until Doctor Manhattan could suppress Batman Dragon in the timeline. Then the other party would no longer have the time or strength to deal with him.
Barbatos did consider surrendering, but that was after Batman Dragon defeated Doctor Manhattan, not now when Batman Dragon uses him as a weapon against Doctor Manhattan. If things go wrong, he'll be shattered to pieces!
Imagine if Dr. Manhattan discovered he couldn't defeat Batman Dragon, but could sever his channels for absorbing more crisis and counter-crisis energy, and the way to cut off these channels was to simply kill Barbatos. What do you think the final outcome would be?
Besides Barbatos' sudden death, are there any other possibilities?
No!
This is unacceptable!
Whether Barbatos likes it or not, Chen Tao has already arrived at the entrance to the World's Crucible.
"Barbatos!"
The immense sound, like thunder, reverberated deep into the World Forge. Endless volcanoes and lava erupted in response to Batman Dragon's shout, shooting straight into the sky like a rain of fire, drenching Barbatos's massive body perched at the bottom of the World Forge, causing him to tremble.
"Open the world's melting pot, Barbatos."
"No, don't even think about it—" Barbatos was about to say something when he was interrupted by Batman Dragon.
"Shh—don't speak, Bat God. May I call you by that name? The night is still long in the DC multiverse."
Barbatos felt himself trembling slightly.
The sound was so close, even though Batman's dragon was far beyond the Forge of Worlds, it seemed to be right next to his ear, as if he were attached to his head with that huge dragon claw.
"I really, really like you, Barbatos. You're a nice guy. But you'd better think carefully before you answer that question. You know, as things stand, in the entire DC multiverse..."
His voice sounded relatively relaxed, with a kind of absurd jokingness, but then it grew increasingly sinister, no longer like Batman's Dragon, but like something more bloodthirsty and cruel, which sent chills down Barbatos's spine.
"No one can refuse me!"
