Chapter 584 The frog is a "powerful" spirit! So amazing!

Although Chen Tao temporarily prevented the Joker from becoming a voter of the Black Death Emperor by using the bug of the Lord of the Blue Lantern, deep down Chen Tao knew that this could only temporarily stop the Black Death Emperor. Just as there would be a Joker without Williams, there would be something else that the Black Death Emperor would use as a slave until the day he completely invaded the main universe.

Therefore, for Chen Tao, the most urgent task is to find a way to dig open the Earth's core in his own universe and then find the Black Death Emperor's nemesis: the Spirit of Existence.

Otherwise, without the white light enhancement, no attack could possibly harm a dead person, especially a lifeless being. Even if the Black Death Emperor who descended upon Chen Tao's universe couldn't be as powerful as he was in his own domain, the mere fact that he was under the negative buff of not being able to deal true damage without the white light ring would be enough to wear Chen Tao down to death.

Although he wields a quarter of the Dark Multiverse Dragon, this authority itself is a power-consuming behemoth.

First, Chen Tao doesn't have enough power to banish the Black Death Emperor without the White Light.

Secondly, even if Chen Tao obtained the energy out of thin air, he could certainly channel all the energy into this authority and try to forcibly expel the Black Death Emperor. But putting aside whether this plan would succeed, and even if the Black Death Emperor were forcibly expelled, could he return to Chen Tao's universe again through the proxy...

Even if he expended so much energy and displayed his divine power to solve the problem of the Black Death Emperor's invasion once and for all without the White Lamp, he was already extremely weak after both he and the Black Death Emperor had suffered heavy losses. Could he withstand Barbatos's attack?

at this time.

Chen Tao and Bane floated together in the sky. Beside them, more than thirty or forty corpses of the unseeing blue guardians of the universe floated silently in mid-air. These were the spoils Chen Tao had obtained from the incident in which he fought against Mongo; all the dead blue men were here.

The green chains from Calona and the emotional spectrum technology from the first Genie worked together on the Joker, causing him to resonate with the seven colors of the emotional spectrum, especially the blue, which made him shine brightly.

Chen Tao is using the emotional spectrum to help the clown resonate with the white light of life, and then find that thing. He's very close, but it still takes time.

The most important reason why Chen Tao went to such great lengths to capture the Joker is that the Joker, who is half an apostle of the Black Death Emperor, can sense the origin of life, the power of the White Lantern. However, in order to use the energy of the Black Lantern to find the spirit of the White Lantern beast, he needs the emotional spectrum plus a dead guardian of the universe as a sacrifice.

In "The Darkest Night", the Black Death Emperor summoned the spirits of existence in this way and attempted to attack and destroy them.

Therefore, Chen Tao knew better than the Joker how to find the Spirit of Existence. The Joker even tried to rely on the wrong information and play some tricks, but Chen Tao quickly saw through him. In the end, the Joker could only honestly work hard.

Meanwhile, Bane, standing nearby, had a pair of enormous bat wings sprouting from his ribs.

He is now able to manipulate the power of the Crimson of All Beings very skillfully, allowing him to grow the physical bodies of different animals.

And those constantly flapping wings, paired with his black, white, and red hood and Bane's classic black vest, along with his hairy, muscular physique, make him look more like... than the third Robin, Tim Drake.

"Ah Qiu!"

In Gotham City, Tim, a student, suddenly sneezed. His mind went blank: He wondered what Batman was doing right now... Sigh, he wanted to get out of school.

Tim stared blankly out the window.

The blonde girl beside him stared at Tim in a daze.

"Mr. Drake, if the view outside the window is more appealing than my blackboard, could you please come up here and solve this problem for all the students to see?"

"Uh, what? Oh, okay..."

"Ms. Brown, if you enjoy snickering so much, why don't you come up and solve question 2 as well?"

(Note: "Ms. Brown" here refers to Stephanie Brown, the only female Robin in the DC Universe, whose superhero codename after the New 52 is "The Spoiler." A member of the Bat-Family, she is the official love interest of the Third Robin, Tim Drake, and they have many beautiful and sweet stories together in comic book history.)

Forget it.

Tim, who was writing on the blackboard, couldn't help but steal glances at the blonde girl standing next to him. The girl's hair brushed against his shoulder, and he could feel the ticklish sensation even through his clothes.

Tim's mind was a bit muddled, but he still quickly solved the problem. When he glanced at Stephanie again, he saw the other turn his head to look at him.

The well-trained Robin immediately turned her head in a panic.

Tim.

When Tim Drake heard the girl's soft voice, he almost thought she was going to question him about why he was spying on her.

Then he heard Stephanie's voice.

"Help! I don't know how to do this problem!"

(Note: Yes, Stephanie is terrible, arguably the worst member of the Bat-Family. She's also the first, and possibly the last, Robin to be dismissed due to insufficient learning ability, failing Batman's training and being unable to fulfill her role. Dumb...dumb beauty?)

Tim couldn't quite tell if he felt a sense of relief or something else. He quickly offered some hints, while part of his mind remained blank.

Those days as Robin, those years of sword fights and bloodshed, seem to be getting further and further away from him, like a beautiful and memorable adventure.

And that's precisely why Batman fights, isn't it?

As for what Batman is doing now... that question is appearing less and less in Tim's mind.

Batman at this moment...

Batman was currently leading the Joker like a dog on a leash. Beside them, the Joker, half blue and half black, was laughing maniacally. He was wearing a straitjacket, suspended in mid-air by the rings on the straitjacket, pulled by Chen Tao's nanobots. An iron chain around his neck was held directly in Chen Tao's hand.

Even at this point, the Joker can still have fun.

"It's very close, Bat, I'm sure... Oh, yes, that's it."

Chen Tao: "..."

They had roughly located the spot where they could summon the white light. The three of them landed on the ground, on a concrete road on the outskirts of a city.

Bane, flapping his wings, was responsible for following along and helping Chen Tao maintain the Joker's jealousy.

"Right here."

The clown tapped the ground with his foot: "You need to dig a little deeper so I can summon them faster."

Without saying a word, Bain's arms transformed into giant trees, which then transformed into a humanoid wooden excavator.

Not long after, the newly repaired cement road was dug up by Bain as if it were tofu, and Chengdu's soil was thrown into the sky.

Chen Tao led the clown a little to the side, allowing Bane to take over.

"Something's not right." After digging for a while, Bane suddenly poked his head out of the cave below.

"I remember us as lifelong rivals, former adversaries. Why would I now listen to you and start digging into Bai Deng's past?"

Chen Tao: "!"

Yes, how did things turn out like this?

They used to be enemies, but now Bane knows what kind of bat droppings Chen Tao is about to produce just by looking at him.

Chen Tao thought for half a second, then said, "Hmm, because you're determined to turn over a new leaf and become a superhero?"

Bain, who was below the cave, was silent for a moment, and then Chen Tao heard his reply.

"really."

He said this, and then the digging sound rang out again. Chen Tao couldn't believe that the topic had just passed.

But at that moment, Chen Tao felt a sudden tremor in his heart.

He immediately realized where the tremor came from, and then he saw Bane leap out of the cave below, which was gradually being dug deeper. Bane also clearly felt the tremor, because they both possessed the power of decaying black.

"Wait, I'm not sure if what I'm sensing is accurate. You know far more than I do, Bain. You tell me."

"Anton A. Kane is dead," Bain said succinctly.

"Or perhaps 'death' isn't the right word. He's been controlled, and the position of Lord of Decay is now vacant."

"And his power?"

"It was taken away by someone."

"The Black Death Emperor?"

"No. By sensing the decaying black power, I felt they appeared in the hands of a group of strangers... Each of them somewhat resembled the first Lantern, yet they were not quite the same."

Bain was only halfway through his sentence when it became clear that he didn't know how to describe the feeling.

Finally, he seemed to have found the right vocabulary.

"Each of them is like an old man, toothless and weaker than the original Genie from our universe. But at least I can confirm that the person who accepted this decaying black power is not the Black Death Emperor. I have already witnessed his terrifying death power. If he really had the power of decaying black, I would have been able to sense it."

Then Chen Tao and Bain were jolted again.

"I know what's going on."

Chen Tao gritted his teeth: "The Black Death Emperor turned Akane into his Black Lantern central energy battery, and now he already owns the battery."

"Hehe!" The clown who was listening nearby made a chuckle, and then he was slapped hard across the back of the neck by Chen Tao. With a crack, the clown's neck was spun twice before returning to its original position.

But it doesn't matter, the Joker now wields the power of the Black Lantern, he is now... at least half a Black Lantern corpse.

Chen Tao ripped the clown's head off, kicked it into the air, caught it, and then shoved the head back into the clown's body.

"Damn it, I should have been looking for the spirit of existence from the start!"

"Wait, I've found the Spirit of Existence."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Tao heard the clown's voice: "We've found the right spot. I'll be able to summon him soon."

In that instant, the countless corpses surrounding the other person, stretched out, all lit up with the seven colors of the emotional spectrum.

Soon, the white of life will be forcibly pulled from the ground, and this will be a good opportunity for Chen Tao to control that white.

As long as he can...

A huge white light shone from the ground. Chen Tao knew that the spirit of the white lamp was a giant humanoid creature larger than a person. It had a face similar to a human and a resin-like body, and was entirely white.

Bain jumped up from the bottom of the cave, his body bearing some burn marks that still made him uneasy.

After all, he wielded the power of decay and darkness. For an agent who controlled the power of death to jump around in front of White Lantern seemed a bit too fearless of death.

Chen Tao excitedly walked towards the white light.

Finally, after all that effort, they finally unearthed the spirit of their universe.

He could almost see the white light of the spirit of existence clinging to him, and the enormous white lantern beast would soon appear before him...

Chen Tao stared blankly at the tiny spirit before him.

This creature is not a colossal being several meters tall; on the contrary, it is quite small, even smaller than the calf of a human baby.

With a thud, the Spirit of Existence fell to the ground, resembling some kind of figurine. Apart from being slightly smaller, it was essentially no different from the Spirit of Existence in the main universe.

Chen Tao picked up the spirit of existence from the ground.

This was white energy, but it was far too little, let alone enough to power him or the entire world. Chen Tao drew some power from the other party, and the white light spread from his palm holding the figurine all the way to his forearm and then over his shoulder.

Then it ran out of steam and could no longer provide any more power.

Let alone providing Chen Tao with a considerable amount of energy like the other lamp beasts, it couldn't even provide enough energy to barely meet his needs.

You call him White Lantern? Of course he is. Chen Tao has now mastered the power of White Lantern's life force. Even though you can see that only one of his arms has turned white, he is now White Lantern Hero.

But what the hell is the use of this?

This is perhaps the most ironic aspect of the Dark Multiverse: possessing a complete Legion of Seven Lamps, a complete set of Seven Lamp Beasts, capable of confronting the Black Death Emperor head-on without missing a single one of them.

However, when they fought to the very end, they discovered that once the Black Emperor summoned the Spirit of Existence, he could immediately destroy it, and none of the many heroes who joined the battle were able to extract any significant power from the Spirit of Existence to fight against the Black Emperor.

This is such a rip-off!

Chen Tao stood there dumbfounded, clutching the petite spirit, while the clown beside him was about to let out an inappropriate laugh when Bane slapped him cleanly across the face.

Bain knew what to do without Chen Tao having to lift a finger, and that was what made him so considerate.

After all, they were once sworn enemies, and sworn enemies ultimately understand each other better.

"So what's next, Batman?"

Bain asked.

A flame ignited in Chen Tao's eyes.

"If our universe doesn't have it, then we'll look for it in other universes."

He muttered to himself, a ferocious look on his face.

"The Batman Who Laughs taught me how to find and enter other dark multiverses. I refuse to believe I can't find a world with a powerful, inhabited spirit!"
