American comics: What kind of evil intentions could Batman have?

Chapter 1142 The Severely Wounded Golden Vanguard

Chapter 1142 The Severely Wounded Golden Vanguard

Edward Nigma the Riddler is about to tell another riddle, good heavens.

This means that his obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has relapsed, and in the field of psychiatry, OCD is one of the most difficult diseases to treat.

He almost spoke, just like he had done many times before: speak, have an attack, and then mess everything up.

He knew, he knew, he thought he could start a new life, he finally had an excuse, but the Riddler gasped heavily, making a sound in his throat.

But before he could speak, the Time Master pulled out something that looked like an electric shock device and stuck it into his kidney.

"ah!!!"

The Riddler let out a scream, but he knew in his heart that simply attacking him would be futile. The terrifying aspect of mental illness lies in its uncontrollability; even if the attack interrupted his episode, his obsessive-compulsive disorder would recur once he regained consciousness, until—

Huh?

"A future drug for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder, generally intended to help patients avoid danger in emergencies, such as administering it when they are about to commit suicide, so that they can control themselves and not die. It has a rapid onset, but it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause."

The Time Master said, "Of course, this will affect your intelligence temporarily, but it's worth it as long as it allows you to listen to me clearly right now."

"I won't listen to what you have to say. I deserved it—"

"A peaceful and healthy life? Don't be ridiculous, even Batman Dragon never had that—never mind, maybe you don't even know who he is yet. That's not important, but what we're saying now is important."

The riddle-maker shut his mouth.

Although his intelligence wasn't as high as usual due to the effects of the drugs, he could still easily tell that the other party was determined to achieve their goal, so he figured it wouldn't hurt to listen to their advice.

As for whether to make a final choice, we'll see when the time comes.

"The world is about to end."

What a cliché opening.

The riddle-maker pondered.

These issues sound like they're entirely Batman's responsibility. Okay, I'll tell Batman about this later. Yeah, that's it, and from now on, it's none of my business.

Then the Riddler heard the Master of Time ask, "Do you know the Justice League?"

"I don't know, what is it?" the riddle-maker replied. The Time Master, however, put his hand to his forehead: "Damn it, you living ancestor—"

""

However, the Time Master quickly adjusted his mindset, or rather, resigned himself to it. After all, his team needed someone with a brain, but this person couldn't have a significant impact on the history of Batman Dragon. For example, he couldn't take Lex Luthor with him, because if Luthor from the Batman Dragon universe disappeared, then during Earth-15, no one would have piloted the entire Universe to crash into the Anti-Monitor, and the historical logic of Earth-15 would immediately become invalid. He and the Golden Vanguard had gone through a lot, and now—

He once thought that resolving the Earth-15 incident and defeating Batman Dragon would save the DC multiverse, but later it turned out that the result was not as good as having Batman Dragon.

The facts have proven that if the DC multiverse didn't have Batman Dragon, who knows how many people could have pulled off something even bigger? Just the major timelines we can name include the perfect world created by Superman Supreme and Parallax Morhal, the doomed timeline created by Genie I, the Anti-Monitor's resurrection that crushes all other timelines, and the Worldmaker's chaotic route-running...

There are also countless timelines belonging to various villains and other dangerous characters, so numerous and complex that they each display their unique abilities.

What the Time Master needs to do now is to salvage as many team members as possible from the Batman Dragon timeline. They must be able to utilize the Batman Dragon's power, and also be smart enough, capable enough, and have enough willpower to help him eliminate all the erroneous timelines and fix the "Batman Dragon victory" timeline.

At the same time, they must be irrelevant to Batman Dragon's history. Removing them would not cause Batman Dragon to make any wrong choices at crucial moments, nor would it cause Batman Dragon to fail in a certain mission or battle. You see, they are just not that important.

"Listen, all sorts of flawed timelines are happening—"

The Time Master gave the Riddler a brief explanation, and after he finished speaking, he himself seemed slightly lost in thought.

Those erroneous timelines are certainly a threat.

But compared to those—

The Master of Time felt a chill run down his spine at the thought of that giant hand outside the DC multiverse.

Even though they are thousands of miles apart now, he can still feel the other person's malicious eyes, so cold and cruel.

"So let's summarize what I know now. The world needs saving."

The Time Master heard the Riddler ask, "I must travel to different timelines to stop different villains from destroying the world, thereby removing them from those timelines—"

"By freeing them, they can become part of the Batman Dragon timeline, which will make the Batman Dragon timeline stronger and stronger. Ultimately, it will be chosen by the DC multiverse to become the only reality."

"The Time Master said."

If we disregard what the Void Hand might do, that's all.

"Okay, I understand, but what I don't understand is—why me?"

Then the Master of Time heard the Riddler say, "I'm not a successful villain, but I am a veritable patient. In my criminal career, I don't seem to have achieved anything remarkable. If, as you say, this adventure is the key to saving the multiverse, then why didn't you choose some better characters to save the world, instead of me?"

"Come on, buddy, do you really want to ask that kind of question?"

The Time Master tried to laugh it off, but he soon realized the Riddler didn't think so.

The other party is serious, but what can the Time Master say?

"Because according to the original historical development, you will be Batman Dragon's most important strategist, his external brain, the planner."

The Time Master doesn't even blink; lies just spring to his lips.

"Your position on the timeline is crucial, but I must temporarily borrow you from the timeline until you accomplish those great feats, to ensure that your intelligence can contribute to the safety of the entire multiverse, my friend."

As he spoke, he half-pushed, half-pulled, half-forced the Riddler to pull him closer to the portal he had created.

As soon as he stepped inside, the Riddler realized that he was no longer on Earth, but inside a highly technological spaceship.

His original plans for retirement and security seem to be gradually fading away.

But before anything begins, he has one more question to ask.

He took two steps and approached a huge, life support-like device placed in the corner of the spaceship's main hall.

He saw a mangled, bloody figure lying inside.

"Who is this?"

He consulted the Time Master.

The Time Master paused for a moment.

"He is the Golden Vanguard."
