Chapter 1054 The Final Battle: Prelude
Dr. Manhattan's erratic behavior finally provoked a reaction from the entire DC multiverse.
Driven by some grander will, the strategy of robbing Peter to pay Paul was implemented with double the intensity.
Clearly, the multiverse's general consciousness had been trying to prevent Perpetua from finding the Unified One and hindering his creator from gaining greater power, while also doing everything in its power to prevent the Void Hand from finding the Miracle Machine.
At that time, when Papetua and the Batman Who Laughs intended to lead the Void Hand's search for the Miracle Machine into an endless illusion, their actions were, at that moment, in accordance with the will of the DC multiverse, and were what the world's will wanted them to do.
The DC multiverse has never ceased its suppression of villains who are too powerful. As Papetua said, he transformed the entire world into a giant training ground.
Essentially, the DC multiverse is a vampire universe that constantly evolves and reboots itself, unaffected by the lifespan of a normal multiverse.
These superheroes are like immune cells; they constantly face and resolve crises, strengthening themselves. Their ultimate purpose is to fight villains like Perpetua who truly threaten the survival of the multiverse. However, due to events such as Earth-15 and the Void Hand, Perpetua's power has now completely exceeded the limits that the immune cell superheroes can handle.
Apart from Batman: Dragon, the DC multiverse simply has no way of assembling an army that can rival Papetua in a short period of time.
Therefore, the DC multiverse was forced into a vicious cycle of robbing Peter to pay Paul: if Doctor Manhattan was too terrifying, they gave Perpetua a chance to help suppress him; if Perpetua was a bit too powerful, they had the Void Hand find a way to counter him and weaken Perpetua's power.
But now, the DC multiverse can no longer be sustained.
Faced with Dr. Manhattan's real world-ending threat, even the Multiverse's breath couldn't solve the problem, so the multiverse was left with a choice between two options.
However, the multiverse does not have a specific personification, so she never makes choices. She only relies on instinct to make the most beneficial decision for the multiverse in the current situation, regardless of whether it will cause more serious consequences in the future.
That's not something the multiverse needs to consider, so we can see this spectacle now:
Whether it's the Void Hand or Perpetua, the Manifest Destiny of the DC Multiverse shines behind them. Despite being enemies of the Multiverse, they were recruited by the Multiverse when a greater threat emerged.
"Our alliance is missing one last person," he told his two other allies with a maniacal laugh.
His power was already considerable, but it was still insufficient against the Mother of the Multiverse and the Void Hand. Therefore, the Laughing One naturally seized leadership of this temporary alliance.
"We need Batman Dragon's help, and Superman and the others from the main universe," he laughed, "someone who, among all the superheroes, is currently considered the only usable weapon in the DC multiverse."
"There's no time or opportunity left."
At this moment, the Void Hand, along with the Laughing Bat, had arrived at the edge of the Origin Wall.
Among the vast and boundless expanse, and the many powerful beings trapped within it, the Mother of the Multiverse is indeed trapped there.
The Hand of the Void and the Bats Who Laugh await the release of the Mother of the Multiverse, and her release also signifies—
"Once I come down from the Origin Wall, the all-out battle with Dr. Manhattan will begin."
Papetua warned, "Dr. Manhattan is not stupid; he just wants to conduct experiments. If we form an alliance to attack him, he will strike us immediately to ensure that his ultimate showdown with Superman is not hindered."
"At that time, it will be the first battle that ends the war."
"Without Batman Dragon's help, we will always be missing something of the destiny of the DC multiverse."
The Void Hand said, "That will—"
He stopped halfway through his sentence and then turned away.
"Looks like everyone's here."
Chen Tao said.
In the boundless void, the Origin Wall blots out the sky and stretches as far as the eye can see.
Papetua lay high above, his enormous form towering over the Void Hand, which stood in mid-air with curved horns on its head, and wherever it passed, darkness almost solidified; the Brain in a Vase of the Laughing Blessing was firmly protected, following beside the Void Hand like a small spaceship.
Not far from them, standing proudly, was none other than the Supreme Batman, the mastermind behind the deep pool of Batman, Batman Dragon.
He looked at the eccentric new look of the Laughing Buddha.
"I thought you'd be trapped for a little longer."
He laughed wildly and didn't say a word.
"You'd better join us, Batman Dragon," the Void Hand said. "Dr. Manhattan's experiments will begin in a month."
Batman Dragon didn't answer their questions, but instead said to himself, "Before that—"
His gaze swept over everyone present, as if he had transcended time and clearly seen the final outcome.
He gracefully retreated, dodging the hand in the void that attempted to capture him.
His desire to leave is obvious and will certainly provoke a reaction from the anti-Dr. Manhattan alliance.
If he refuses to join, then he will be an enemy to the entire alliance.
But there's nothing they can do about him.
The Void Hand shattered layers upon layers of parallel universes. Before his power story could extend to that world, he captured Batman Dragon, but only as an illusion.
History is twisting and changing. In the moment when Papetu Ali was too late, Batman Dragon pointed out the most common flaw in Void Hand's abilities: the manipulation of story power takes time and depends on the completeness of the story.
Even if the Void Hand reaches a deal with Perpetua through that super-story and wants to confront Doctor Manhattan head-on, the Void Hand needs a tougher reality to serve as the foundation for the entire story.
"That's enough, we can't do anything to him now." The Laughing Bat accepted the fact more clearly and quickly than the other two gods.
He wisely chose to conserve his strength: "Stop engaging Batman Dragon. I sensed the threat from Doctor Manhattan; he's starting to notice us."
"They've already begun attempting an attack on us, from a dimension you can't comprehend." Papetua's voice pierced the Bat of Laughter's eardrums, the world was unveiled, and quantum forces danced wildly before him—
"Dr. Manhattan is here!"
