Chapter 632 The Emperor Clown is overjoyed, the troublemaker arrives.
The Emperor Joker is being subjected to an unprecedented beating.
In the original plan of The Batman Who Laughs, the Emperor Joker would forcefully pull Batman's dragon into the "Superman: Emperor Joker" era of the timeline. In other words, in essence, the Emperor Joker, in the Batman Who Laughs' plan, still could not escape the control of the timeline; he was still a "nail" embedded in the road.
However, due to Batman's intervention, the Emperor Joker and Parallax Morhal played a tug-of-war, with the two nails competing to see who could be driven deeper into the road. The Emperor Joker was completely defeated, so he was directly "fished" by the other party and moved to the even higher "Zero Hour" era. This would certainly result in him getting a beating that could kill him, but it also pulled the Emperor Joker "nail" out of his own road.
Therefore, at this moment, the Emperor Joker has effectively broken free from the constraints of the Hypertime Flow. As long as he can escape from Parallax Morhal, he can then appear in any corner of the Hypertime Flow, even in the current multiverse timeline, until someone picks them up again and puts them back on their original path, just like what Barbatos, the hero who once saved the multiverse, did to Parallax Morhal and Superman Supreme after he was thrown into the World Forge.
boom!
This powerful blow, capable of piercing stars, exploded on the Emperor Joker's face with a force beyond human imagination. The terrifying face-destroying punch dented the Emperor Joker's face into his head, making him look like Nobita Nobi being beaten by Gian.
"Hmm...he's not dead!"
With a pop, the Emperor Joker reverted to his original face like a cartoon character, then jumped up and yelled, "You shouldn't have aimed at my nose!"
His methods of healing his injuries looked exactly like something out of an animated film. After acquiring fifth-dimensional power, the Emperor Joker will inevitably exhibit the characteristics of a fifth-dimensional being.
He cursed and swore, but obediently let Hal grab him by the neck and lift him up. A dark green energy beam gathered on the fist of the Parallax Demon Hal and punched the Emperor Joker in the chest, the energy beam passing through his back and piercing through several planets behind the Emperor Joker.
Oh, right, it's the Zero Hour now. Hal and Merz have almost reversed time together, and they are now in a universe that has not yet been destroyed and is full of nascent ion energy.
If Parallax Morhal hadn't awakened, he should be proclaiming his grand plan to the heroes and trying to gain their approval. So yes, at this moment, as the Emperor Joker and Parallax Morhal clash, there are indeed spectators in the surrounding cosmic space.
According to the timeline that Parallax Morhal was supposed to follow, he would try to persuade the heroes with his words but fail, then fight the heroes, then accidentally kill some of them, and finally completely drop the pretense, shouting "She will be resurrected in the new world I create" before going on a killing spree, and then, as expected, be defeated. He himself would disappear in the Big Bang until he makes a dazzling reappearance in the next crisis.
But now, Parallax Morhal, who has not yet fought against the many heroes, has already learned about the future through the Hypertime Stream. He even went to the current Hypertime Stream reality once, and teamed up with Superman Supreme in the World Forge to fight against Barbatos and the Anti-Monitor Dragon.
Although they ultimately lost the away game and were banished back upstream by Barbatos due to Batman Dragon completing the time loop, these memories did not disappear.
He was no longer an ordinary nail, but a nail that had realized he was stuck in the road. However, after Barbatos released him, he would still return to the timeline he was supposed to be on, returning to the same point in time he left.
So, to the heroes of Zero Hour, it was as if Parallax Demon Hal was rambling on about how perfect the perfect world he created was, and then suddenly, as if having a fit, he clutched his head and shouted angrily and regretfully—in reality, Hal was angry about being banished back by Barbatos.
He had just arrived downstream in the hyper-time flow in an instant, done countless things, but the point of return was still the exact moment he left.
After Hal finished his raving, he stood there lost in thought like a statue. Because of his recent outburst, even Oliver Green Arrow, Hal's closest friend, was unsure whether he should speak to him at that moment.
Then after a while, Parallax Demon Hal started croaking again, as if he had thought of something. He stood there making terrifying noises. His subordinate, Mo Cun, wanted to come up and say a few words to Parallax Demon Hal, but Hal just waved him away, as if the other party was just an NPC or a dead person, not worth his attention.
All of this seemed too bizarre, so the heroes remained hesitant, unsure of what to do, and fearing that they might do something to provoke Parallax Morhal into madness, since his power was real.
In short, in the original timeline of Zero Hour, at least a few people expressed their approval of Hal's plan to build a perfect world, but now it's unlikely that any hero would support Hal. He seems more like a lunatic than a person with full logical abilities, which makes Hal's previous plan for a perfect world seem unreliable.
Now everyone is very cautious, but no longer cautiously considering Hal's proposal; instead, they are cautiously thinking about how not to anger Hal, this madman, and how to get him treated for his brain problems.
After all, Hal was once their comrade, and they should treat their comrades with respect...
Before the heroes could figure anything out, in the blink of an eye, the Emperor Joker appeared on Parallax Morhal like an octopus.
Hal shoved the other man off the ground, then grabbed him by the neck and began to beat him mercilessly. The massive shockwaves of the fight sprayed everywhere, as if he had completely forgotten that he had just been trying to persuade these superheroes to join his side.
From the moment we left until now, Parallax has been acting like a demon, doing everything that has surprised the heroes. The clown in the emperor's hat who appeared at the end left them speechless.
Finally, Kyle Reyner offered a suggestion: "We can't just stand here and watch. We have to find a way to stop Hal's crazy plan. I can sense that he's serious, that he really intends to carry it out."
"If the universe restarts..." Barbara, the bat-girl who leaned towards Parallax Demon Hal's opinion, kept muttering to herself, "But if the chance to start over that Parallax Demon offered is real... a new beginning, a new path, shouldn't we...?"
Despite some internal debate, they quickly reached an agreement.
The heroes decided to confront Parallax Malfur and capture the Emperor Joker. They joined forces and charged towards the still fiercely battling Parallax Malfur and the Emperor Joker, with Waverider leading the charge, followed closely by Green Lantern Kyle Reyner and Gagardner.
The Emperor Joker noticed the approaching force earlier than Parallax Morhal.
"Hey, hey, hey, aren't you going to pay a little attention?" he shouted. "They don't look friendly at all."
Parallax Demon turned around. He realized he could no longer ignore his former teammates, but what had happened to him was difficult to explain to them in a few words, especially the part about the hypertime flow.
Therefore, Parallax Morhal, while still beating the Emperor Jester, tried to raise his hand to the team charging towards him. He planned to take down some of the heroes first to relieve the pressure, until he and the Emperor Jester had a decisive victory, or until his one-sided beating had created some fait accompli.
Despite being able to recover from his injuries in a cartoon-like manner under his relentless beatings, Parallax Morhal could clearly sense that the Emperor Joker's recovery speed was slowing down.
He only needs to weaken the opponent to a certain extent, and then deliver the final blow.
Oh, right, I need to be careful with those former teammates I took down. He's become stronger than before; he's gained 20% of the Bat Mite's abilities, his strength has increased, and he just used the Bat Mite's five-dimensional divine power to give himself some power-boosting magic effects.
If he continues to extrapolate his current strength based on his previous estimates of his own power, he could easily overuse his power and injure the superheroes.
Like Superman the Primal, they were unwilling to do those things before actually killing their former friends.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
But the Emperor Joker's shout made Hal's fist temporarily stop at the other's nose. The two of them, one daring to shout and the other daring to stop, actually temporarily paused the beating.
"I have something to do."
"The Emperor Clown said."
"What is it?" Hal asked, his attention divided between his former teammates attacking him and the Emperor Joker. But then he saw the Emperor Joker smile at him and snap his fingers next to Parallax Hal.
"What are you doing?" Hal was startled. He thought it was some kind of retaliation from the Emperor Joker, so he immediately released the other man, checked himself to see if he had been attacked, and then punched the Emperor Joker in the face.
But no, nothing happened. After this smooth little combo, he heard the Emperor Joker say, "Alright, I've protected all your friends for you."
Hal turned his head and saw that all the superheroes had been trapped in the transparent bubble created by the Joker using his five-dimensional power. The Waverider and the two Lanterns tried to attack the transparent bubble, but it was as if they had hit a balloon. All their attacks were absorbed by the transparent membrane and there was no reaction at all.
These people, encased in giant bubbles, floated around like balloons, then flew further away in the direction where the two were fighting.
Parallax Mohal thought this was some kind of conspiracy by the Emperor Joker, intending to use it to threaten him, but then he saw the Emperor Joker come up in front of him and stick out his butt.
"Come on, let's continue."
Parallax Morhal: ?
He really couldn't understand the madman's logic, but it didn't matter, he just had to kill him.
The beating continued, and became even louder.
"Ahhh, you know what?"
The Emperor Joker screamed in agony as Parallax Mohal was beaten, but a smile remained on his lips.
"You know what? Only I can understand those things."
Hal was getting more and more comfortable beating his opponent, even developing a rhythm to it. But the physical pain only excited the Emperor Joker more.
"The hints Batman gave me, the indulgences he gave me, the little games we played together—I know this feeling all too well."
He said to Hal in a very confident tone, "I'm pretty sure Batman has given me a mission."
"You see, now I... no, we're facing this situation..."
Parallax Morhal felt a surge of irritation; he didn't believe Batman could have any connection with the Emperor Joker.
Batman: Dragon is a superhero, a companion who identifies with him in creating a perfect world.
You filthy clown, stop putting on that disgusting face.
He used Green Lantern energy to materialize ropes and hoisted the Emperor Joker up. The power of the five dimensions crumbled before Parallax Morhal's overwhelming strength.
After enduring such prolonged beatings, torture, and immense strength, the Emperor Clown had suffered considerable injuries.
The fifth-dimensional divine power protecting him cannot make the Emperor Joker immune to attacks from Parallax Morhal, the supervillain who almost controls the current timeline of this multiverse.
"Barbatos and the Batman Who Laughs want to kill us. He wants to end our game that will never end. Nobody can do that. We must join forces to take back our right to play the game."
The Emperor Joker spoke in an almost singing tone:
"And the most exciting part is the part where he works together."
Even suspended in mid-air, he cheered excitedly: "Just imagine, my strength combined with Batman's intellect, the two of us together are invincible!"
"Batman and Superman are the best duo in the world." Parallax Mohal didn't expect to make such a sarcastic remark, but he said it anyway, though he couldn't explain why.
"Ha, forget that damned, outdated 'world's best partners' nonsense! Batman and I will be the most famous deadly duo ever!"
The Emperor Clown made a vomiting face, then shouted loudly:
"We've reached an agreement and made peace!"
The Emperor Joker laughed happily, as long as Batman was willing to play along, he wouldn't care even if Hal broke every single one of his vertebrae.
"Batman has nothing to do with you," Parallax Morhal said. "You disgusting, delusional freak. You're going to die soon."
"No," said the Emperor Joker. "My little bat wouldn't want me to die."
Hal was too lazy to say anything.
As long as he continues to beat him, the Emperor Joker will only grow weaker and weaker.
Batman would never...
"Batman has a way to save my life. Oh, this pouty little prince actually has a good sense of humor. I really like this side of you."
The Emperor Joker said, "And just as he predicted."
He looked up at Parallax Mohal: "The troublemaker is coming."
