Chapter 1012 Batman's Dragon Successfully Charms the Recorder to Stay in the DC Multiverse to Work
The recorder turned around; this was the first time he had faced Batman Dragon face-to-face.
Time seemed to stand still before the New God Metron and the Recorder. Metron could sense the undisguised malice directed at the three of them by Perpetua, who was still battling the Ultimate Monitor Batman, but the reality of this trans-timeline had frozen.
Papetua couldn't change this timeline, so she couldn't jump out of it to cause trouble for Batman Dragon. Therefore, she couldn't do anything except stare at him fiercely.
Chen Tao waved his hand slightly, and a transparent barrier rose up in front of him, directly blocking Papetua's view.
He looked at the recorder in front of him with great interest.
He actually knew who the other person was.
When the recorder added changes to the history experienced by Chen Tao and Papetua upstream in the hypertime stream, Chen Tao noticed his abnormal behavior at the same moment. He then traced back through the hypertime stream all the recorder's actions after arriving in the DC multiverse.
The Hypertime Stream is a terrifying thing. It records everything you say and do in the DC multiverse, turning it into a videotape for the gods who have mastered the mysteries of the sixth dimension to watch. These sixth-dimensional gods can then influence reality by altering the contents of the videotape.
Simply having access to the videotapes was a huge intelligence advantage for Chen Tao. Moreover, the entire DC multiverse seemed to be calling out to him: "Save him! Save him! Save this recorder of the omnipotent universe!"
Since the death of Mettron, the DC multiverse has been without an Watcher for far too long. The reason the DC multiverse hadn't searched for one before was simply because... it wasn't feasible. Logically, now that the new god Mettron has been resurrected, he is the best candidate to return to his old role as the Watcher of the DC multiverse.
But to the DC multiverse, Metron was like an old toy that had been lost for a long time and then found again in a corner, while this recorder in front of them, a recorder from the omnipotent universe, was simply—
Wow, the Golden Legend!!!
Just like falling in love, the DC multiverse may not have specific personalities, but there must be some instinctive feelings that are more useful to you.
If an Outer God like the Void Hand were to enter the DC Multiverse, the Outer God would simply frantically absorb the DC Multiverse's energy, and then leave without a trace.
The end result is that DC Multiverse is the one making all the sacrifices. A boyfriend who is ungrateful and doesn't reciprocate is a complete scumbag, and DC Multiverse will definitely do everything in its power to keep him out.
The Recorder, a powerful figure who occupies the position of Observer in the DC multiverse, can provide power to the DC multiverse, which in turn can provide him with the knowledge and information he desires.
It's like a couple in love, both possessing altruistic qualities and able to provide for each other—the kind of relationship the DC multiverse loves most.
Of course, there is another irresistible Outer God in the DC multiverse: Doctor Manhattan.
The reason I couldn't refuse is quite simple —
This guy is way too strong!
But this is an unconventional situation.
Therefore, the DC multiverse is now using every possible means to try to capture the Recorder, including using Fate to guide the Recorder to resurrect Metatron.
This includes Chen Tao's unmistakable feeling that someone upstream in the trans-timeline is tampering with history. This vague perception of who the other party is guides Chen Tao to rush over immediately and catch the recorder red-handed.
The recorder introduced himself to Chen Tao, who had rushed over. However, Chen Tao did not immediately intend to do anything; he continued to play the role of a guardian of the time flow who had discovered a problem and rushed over.
If it were the normal Metron, he would definitely be interested in Batman Dragon, try to strike up a conversation with him, and ask all sorts of questions.
However, almost at the same time that Chen Tao realized he could lure the Recorder into joining the DC multiverse, Metron also realized he could do the same.
So, after Batman Dragon and the Recorder had just finished their first two exchanges, Metatron quickly tried to steer the conversation back to the Recorder's intention to betray his duties.
"You see, the specifics are hard to explain. You know, I once belonged to a great cosmic race that fell apart and was caught in an endless struggle between good and evil. I witnessed the war unfold for a thousand years, and I was also a part of it."
Mettron was telling the truth. He was talking about the war between Apokolips and New Genesis, the struggle between the Father and Darkseid, and the event of exchanging protons was orchestrated by Mettron. He directly changed the fate of the Father's son, Mr. Miracle Scott Free, and Darkseid's son, Orion.
This may be the fate of the DC multiverse observers. Every god who once claimed to only observe and not interfere will eventually get involved, and as Mettron himself said, he will be devoured by the secrets he observed.
"The situation is getting worse. Time and again I have betrayed my duty, participating in the struggle between gods and mortals, yet I still deceive myself that all of this is the price to pay in the pursuit of knowledge. But with the separation from the chair, my perspective has changed. I find everything wonderful, and I even find the multiverse's actions toward you wonderful."
"Yes----"
"Yes, that's right, that's right, so that means the multiverse is fulfilling its duty, and therefore it cannot truly perish."
Chen Tao watched coldly from the sidelines. This was an act of capture; the DC multiverse was trying to drive the recorder to work for him, just as it was now driving Chen Tao to save himself.
The recorder has gone mad, without even realizing it himself. As an omnipotent cosmic clerk who has recorded hundreds of billions of multiverses, he would actually break his principles for the DC multiverse, a world that is not much different from the multiverses he once recorded and then destroyed. From the moment he revived Mettron, the DC multiverse's transformation of the recorder had already begun.
Ultimately, the recorder wasn't capable enough, and was too obsessed with knowledge and information.
If he were as strong as the Hand of the Void, strong enough to go toe-to-toe with Papetua, strong enough to even bare his teeth at Dr. Manhattan—although the result would still be being slapped into an idiot, at least he would have the chance to show his teeth.
The recorder is not so easily led into the predetermined orbit of the DC multiverse.
Chen Tao looked at the recorder.
It's like seeing my past self.
Interestingly, the recorder remained completely conscious.
The DC multiverse is a generalized consciousness, not a specific god.
He couldn't possibly have swayed the clerks of the Hand of Origin. If they could be swayed, how could there not have been some virtuous and ambitious people who thought of this method among the hundreds of billions of destroyed multiverses he had experienced before?
The recorder was simply captivated by the magnificent history of the DC multiverse. He could have simply turned and left, but the price would have been the permanent loss of the opportunity to understand the true nature of the DC multiverse and to fully document that beautiful history.
Just like Chen Tao, when facing Bain, he could have chosen to turn around and run away, but the price was that he would live in fear and anxiety for the rest of his life.
The DC multiverse just loves this.
Metron continued, "This is a universe built on faith. Because those insignificant mortals believe in gods, gods exist. Gods possess the source of faith, and thus the source survives. You come from the source, don't you? The source of all creation, providing energy for everything that exists. On the cosmic ladder, you are several levels higher than me. You are a being of the omnipotent universe, not belonging to the multiverse, yet the source is still above you."
"This multiverse created incredible evil to be overcome, while good will endure forever, thus maintaining balance by contending with ultimate evil. Such a war has been waged between Apokolips and New Creation, but this is not the first time such a war has taken place, and now they are fighting again."
Chen Tao listened silently, fully aware that Metatron had used his intelligence and wisdom.
Lying to the recorder of the omnipotent universe is completely pointless; it shows neither respect for the other party nor for oneself.
Sincerity, even if feigned, can actually reduce the other party's hostility.
As for the rest—
Let it be left to the other party's free will.
"The balance will eventually tip over, perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, but what comforts me is that the Origin will keep a record of it. What comforts me even more is that the original being who came to record it has also become one of our believers. This shows that our multiverse will never truly perish; it will continue. It will exist in stories and imaginations, and on a cosmic scale, it can be considered real. The omnipotent universe is infinite, and its possibilities extend infinitely. Even if we do face destruction, we can still continue to exist in another form."
Chen Tao saw the recorder struggling; he was conflicted.
Despite what you've said, Metron, I don't just intend to appear as a story in the Omnipotent Codex.
He thought to himself silently.
He looked at the recorder, carefully assessing in his mind the potential impact the new god Metron could have on him.
Almost simultaneously, in another corner of the trans-timeline, Batman Dragon, existing at any point in time, picked up the Brainiac robots burned to ruins by the Recorder. He tried to analyze the essence of the Recorder's power, but to no avail. It was another power system completely independent of the DC multiverse, originating from the Hand of Origin, as difficult to understand and decipher as the power of the Void Hand's story.
He simultaneously heard the seductive voice of the new god, Metron: "I'm willing to believe, I believe you and I see things from the same perspective. If you had observed this grand story from beginning to end, you would have felt the same way I do—"
I feel like I want to keep watching.
The recorder fell silent. A warm orange light shone in Metron's eyes; the recorder was reading all the stories Metron knew. Metron opened his arms—this was exactly what he wanted. No one knew more than Metron.
While those stories were certainly fascinating, they weren't enough to move the recorder.
Chen Tao knew it was time for him to take the stage. Metatron had already successfully shown the Recorder the past achievements of the DC multiverse—those magnificent and wondrous cosmic tales. Chen Tao's next task was to show the Recorder the future of the DC multiverse, the stories that might unfold in that future. That would be one of the key reasons the Recorder would remain.
So when the recorder turned around, he heard Batman Dragon whisper in his ear, a voice a blend of Papetua's whispering techniques and Barbatos's secret manipulation methods. Batman Dragon always drew power and traits from those he defeated—
He always learns very quickly.
"My friend, my friend, the timeline continues into the infinite future. Don't you want to know the endings of those stories? Hmm, my friend? The stories of those superheroes, the ending of Perpetua, the ending of the Dark Knights, and the ending of The Bat Who Laughs."
"When the true Bruce within him revives in his maniacal laughter, he chooses to laugh desperately, deluding himself into believing that as long as he doesn't admit he's awake, he won't have to face the pain and nightmare of slaughtering the entire Bat-family? What if I said his last joke was dying while shedding tears and desperately calling out the name of the Bat-family?"
"Is it regret? Is it the ravaged one who died in Clark Kent's arms, whispering, 'Did my Superman ever have a heart for justice?' and whispering, 'I don't know?'"
"Or is it the peace that has finally been found? Is it the peace that Wonder Woman has finally found, piercing Iron Fist's chest, allowing him to hear her soft, gentle words of comfort, asking if he can stop? What will he say? How will he answer Wonder Woman in his dying moments?"
"Is this Alfred, here to pick up the killing machine?"
"Or when the drowned spirit Bruce once again hears the evening bells of Mercy Harbor and sees the people she protected shaking hands with the Atlanteans in reconciliation?"
He appeared beside the recorder and put his hand on his shoulder.
"Or is it me? What fate awaits me? Where will I go?"
"Just so you can see my fate, don't you want to stay here and witness it?"
The recorder's eyes widened as he witnessed the grand narrative of creation, unfolding from beginning to end in a vast and magnificent spectacle. His heart was filled with new emotions; he held faith in this universe, in these beings. And within this faith—
They became eternal.
