The appearance of fate was unexpected by the Lord of Dreams, but Chen Tao was prepared for it.
The Endless Families are the embodiment of concepts, but young Daniel inherits his divine power from the previous God of Dreams, Morpheus.
Compared to others, he had far too many human preferences.
He would intervene to warn the Justice League of the main universe because Barbatos planned to invade it, but the true dream should be fair, impartial, and unbiased towards anyone.
Can you imagine death or fate favoring a mortal?
That's impossible, not even for Papetua.
So, tell me.
"How can I defeat the World Forger?"
The Sandman heard Batman's question.
Fate will not answer.
How can the answer automatically appear on a blank sheet of paper?
The Sleep Demon shook his head.
When each mortal makes a choice, their own destiny is created by themselves, and at the same time, it appears in the great book of destiny held by the endless family fate.
If ordinary people choose to change their destiny, then the book will also reflect that.
Ultimately, the fate of the Endless Family is the concept of fate itself. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for him to appear in front of mortals, let alone give any so-called "prophecy".
Many people seem to misunderstand the difference between fate and prophet. Fate is merely a recorder, or rather, a blank sheet of paper for writing.
The decision of what to write is in everyone's hands.
"Mortal, I will now reveal to you the answer to defeating the World Forger."
Sandman:?
The Sandman, radiating white light, stared blankly at his fate beneath the hood and cloak with his blue eyes.
He was holding the huge book, the chains swaying between his arms.
No, that's impossible.
Fate cannot make any predictions to others.
But now this strange situation has actually happened, and even though Sandman is young, he knows that this scene is extraordinary.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
The Lord of Dreams' thoughts were only slightly muddled for a moment, but he immediately regained his clear reason.
We need to clarify one concept: one's destiny can only be written by oneself.
If you find the answer on a piece of paper, it's not a miracle from God or any deity; it simply means someone secretly wrote something on it with invisible ink.
Perhaps this person is your future self, like an unnamed old dragon, secretly rubbing his hands together.
So now, someone has written a script of destiny on fate with invisible ink, which is why the Destiny of the Infinity Family is here to tell Batman Dragon about this destiny written by someone else, and then entice him to choose this written destiny.
Although Chen Tao could erase these answers at any time, before that, he would naturally want to see what was written on this blank sheet of paper to see if it could point him to a... less wrong path?
Fate turned the pages of the enormous Book of Fate, and then he continued:
"You will slaughter all living beings in the multiverse in order to survive, just as you have done before."
"You will devour the Anti-Monitor and become one with him."
Chen Tao was startled. He stepped forward to examine the enormous Book of Destiny in Destiny's hand.
The picture book above depicts the words fate had spoken to him, the scene of him leaning forward to look at the picture, and the bewildered yet not entirely bewildered white-haired dumpling, Sandman Daniel, standing beside him.
Everything depicted in the paintings and descriptions above is exactly the same as what actually happened.
Chen Tao saw on the album what fate was about to tell him:
"You effortlessly cut through the gale and dispel all fear."
"Your breath is as sweet as jasmine, your eyes as cold as stone... You will live to commit atrocities, you will be sleepless at night, and you will wake up bleeding."
"You will choose to abuse the talent that could have made you extraordinary, and you will cherish that pain in your heart like a precious treasure."
Sometimes, we have to make choices.
"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes; what's damned shouldn't be kept."
Chen Tao looked up, and fate turned the next page of its book.
In the illustrations on the book pages, the dream god Daniel saw himself leaning closer, and in those illustrations, he saw Destiny and Batman Dragon staring at each other.
Then his gaze moved down to the text description below, which read:
Fate said, "You will have to make a difficult choice. Trust me."
He said:
"Someone always has to make a sacrifice."
……
……
……
The Dark Multiverse.
In Chen Tao's universe.
Chen Tao broke through space and landed in the lobby of the Justice League headquarters.
He returned in the evening, while Hero Day was uniting all the armies with Luther.
Chen Tao wasn't in a hurry to call them.
He returned to Gotham.
At sunset, the city reeked of gasoline, yogurt, and rot...
The smell of death.
But Chen Tao could still see ordinary people going home with their families.
This is good, really good...
Chen Tao was stunned.
Then Chen Tao suddenly realized that the smell of death was coming from himself.
Gotham City is no longer the city it once was; Supergirl Kara and Superman Connor are now powerful enough to suppress all the evil in the city.
The stench and putrid smell that Chen Tao perceived were merely psychological.
It was like the impressions he had of Gotham when he first arrived, leaving a shadow on his heavy heart.
In the distant sky, a lone eagle swooped down and suddenly seized a bat that was frantically flapping in the air.
Then another eagle flew over and began to fight with the first eagle for the struggling bat.
Finally, Chen Tao witnessed the bat being torn to pieces.
The last rays of daylight interrupted the prelude to night.
Chen Tao returned to the Justice League hall.
He slept fully clothed in a temporary room behind the hall.
His sleep no longer brought any dreams.
Two hours later, after the sun had completely set...
The person in uniform woke up automatically.
He felt completely refreshed, without dreams or awareness.
Very good. Perhaps he has now left all that behind and can continue to fulfill his sacred mission.
He must not wallow in self-pity, nor allow the seeds of self-destruction to grow within him, blossoming into black, evil fruit.
I am Batman. I must cast aside all my fears. I can easily cut through the wind and fearlessly face the consequences of gravity...
But I am still afraid.
Do I still possess all the elements of bodily memory that maintain balance through conscious reactions? Or are they simply on the other side of the abyss?
Do I have the courage to seek the answer? Just as a thrown rope cannot fall, firmly gripping the throat of the dripping beast, it carries me into the void, using my body as a blade to cleave the abyss—
With absolute balance and precise control?
All of this requires acting without thinking and without fear.
A simple smile requires the use of 100 muscles, while a frown requires even more.
As for crossing the abyss?
Chen Tao took a deep breath.
It's not the right time yet; he's not ready to take the first step.
……
……
……
While Batman Dragon is struggling with the destiny he has written, at the same time, far removed from the flow of time, on a planet called Ultimate Star, two cities suddenly appear.
Ultimate Star is a living planet and the site where the multiverse is about to converge, where Brainiac is conducting a crucial attempt at his plan.
With a deafening roar, the two cities, protected by a massive circular dome, landed safely on the planet, resembling two enormous spaceships.
As for the Multiverse, it exists independently of the entire Hypertime Stream, and therefore its history is completely different from that of the normal main universe.
What appears atop Ultimate Star now is Gotham City from before the Crisis on Infinite Earths...
But history and time are so confused.
For Brainiac and Ultimate Star, these two cities have only just appeared here.
And for Gotham City...
He has been here for over a year.
Brainiac accelerated the city's timeline with the Ultimate Star, attempting to gain control. In preparation for the upcoming multi-dimensional battlefield, they needed to ensure that every city they brought in would have to participate in the rules of the game they had set.
In order for the game to begin, they must master the correct punishment mechanism and control.
Drip!
At 6 a.m., The Flash, Barry Allen, woke up in bed.
"Iris? It's 6 o'clock now, I have to go to work..."
He raised his head.
He stared at the empty bed. Even after a year, he still couldn't adjust to life on this desolate planet without his family and friends, and with Gotham City.
This Barry Allen is the Flash Barry from before the Crisis on Infinite Earths arc.
But please note that he has an extremely important mission in the hyperchronic history of the DC multiverse:
That is to sacrifice oneself in the crisis of infinite Earths and use one's life to destroy the anti-monitor's antimatter cosmic cannon.
Two important characters who sacrificed themselves in Crisis on Infinite Earths were the original Supergirl Kara and the Flash Barry Allen.
The two of them laid the foundation for the victory in the Crisis on Infinite Earths, and it was they who led to the failure of the Anti-Monitor.
Before the crisis, the Flash should have been heading towards his destiny, but now...
Everything was preemptively intercepted, causing him to appear here. This will be detrimental to the counter-surveillance agents…
It has immense benefits.
Hmm, isn't it a bit strange if Brainiac is completely under the control of the World Forger?
But in short, this is our crisis. Former Flash Barry Allen was unaware of this complex situation; he didn't even know where he was.
I am the Flash.
Every night, I forget after falling asleep; every morning, I remember after waking up.
The Flash thought to himself.
Iris is gone, and happiness is gone forever.
The Flash, Barry Allen, drew back the blinds and gazed at Gotham City, which was shrouded in the morning mist.
"Good morning, Gotham City. How are you today? Still trapped in the dome? Ha, I know that feeling."
He said this while thinking.
He opened the drawer, pulled out a notebook, then put it back, took out a recorder, and pressed the record button.
"I am Barry Allen. I used to be the fastest man in the world. I used to be the Flash, but I am no longer."
The dome is still there; it's been a year.
He thought about it, and then recorded:
"I never thought he would never disappear."
But now the entire city is trapped. I don't know who did this, or what their purpose was.
He paused.
"What are we, really? Prisoners, experimental subjects, or lab rats?"
He got out of bed with the tape recorder and then got dressed.
"I know how to get in, but I don't know how to get out."
"Before all of this happened... my wife Iris and I lived together in the 30th century."
"I still miss those times when I would occasionally run back to see my family and friends."
(Note: Here, The Flash recounts his experiences before the Crisis on Infinite Earths.)
In his final run, to attend a charity event at the Paralympic Games, The Flash hopped onto the Cosmic Treadmill, supposed to be gone in just an hour, but when he arrived in Gotham City, the dome was sealed off.
When the dome closed, The Flash lost his powers, and everyone in Gotham who had superpowers lost theirs.
For the next year, they were all trying to find a way out.
The Dome is a super-technological product. Regardless of who built it, it is a huge challenge for the most powerful among them. Without power and instinct, it seems like an impossible challenge.
The Flash, Barry Allen, pulled out a pair of ordinary running shoes from his closet.
This is incredible for a speedster, but he's gotten used to this kind of life...
He put on his clothes and took his keys and cards.
Then she did a few warm-up exercises.
"I guess we've all used up our luck. I've never experienced anything like this before. No matter the adversity or the severity of the crisis, we always managed to win."
But to hell with loneliness, that word doesn't exist in my dictionary.
I am the Flash, I start running.
Morning run.
Goodbye, Iris.
He put the tape recorder back in the drawer and then spoke to the empty room.
Gotham appears eerily calm, as if everyone has succumbed to this bizarre new life.
No one needed to eat, and no new life was born. Time seemed to stand still, and no one could kill anyone else.
I guess when you can't do anything, you get used to this kind of life, just like it's normal.
When The Flash, Barry Allen, appeared in Central Park, he saw a lot of people running.
He always felt that if he worked hard and ran frequently, he would eventually regain the Speed Force, but so far... nothing has happened.
