Midron left, and Chen Tao watched them go, along with the recorder.
The two of them resumed their duties as observers of the DC multiverse; perhaps the recorder would think he was in the DC.
The journey through the multiverse was only a short one, but Chen Tao knew that things were far from simple.
The recorder felt he was merely a volunteer providing end-of-life care in the DC multiverse, and that he would be free once the DC multiverse died. But Chen Tao knew the DC multiverse wouldn't perish—
He will live longer and longer.
Believe me, the recorder will soon discover this, but by then, he will have become a trapped futures and stock market investor. The biggest characteristic of the DC multiverse is that once you take on certain responsibilities, you become like Atlas in Greek mythology, who lifted up a corner of the sky. You can't just let go whenever you want, just like our newest, best, most expressionless, and most retired Batman Supreme in the DC multiverse.
Chen Tao reaffirmed in his mind that he should find a way to completely change the unhealthy development direction of the DC multiverse, which relies entirely on him to turn the tide.
The better he does things, the more the DC multiverse will rely on manipulating him to ward off danger. But Chen Tao is just a quack doctor who takes drastic measures and performs major surgeries. Every time he goes to the operating table, he is gambling with his life and leaving behind even greater hidden dangers.
And Chen Tao was quite certain—
This hidden danger will soon begin to surface shortly after his surgery.
DC Multiverse.
Main universe timeline.
Chen Tao has repaired the timeline, and the original collapse has been barely mended.
The people of the DC multiverse's main universe have lost their former selves. They suffered calamities, were dragged into the realm of death, turned into all sorts of monsters, or devoured by monsters, or pulled into other dimensions to fight for survival—well, now that I think about it, the people of the DC multiverse's timeline have truly had a lot of misfortunes.
Fortunately, all the chaos was erased, and everyone forgot what had happened. They happily embraced the new era of 5G, leaving the previous chaos behind.
Just like the countless reboots of the DC multiverse, from the Crisis on Infinite Earths to the rebirth of the DC multiverse, the world...
Always look forward; the darkness and chaos of the past will eventually fade away like dust in the wind.
They will never be remembered by anyone again.
At this very moment, in the DC main universe timeline.
Far from the prying eyes of humankind, atop the snow-capped peak of the world's highest mountain, lies a city shrouded in mystery and legend.
Some say that Nandarbat himself stands at the crossroads of life and death, with the goddess Ramakushna waiting in the dark River Styx to guide righteous people to their final rest, while others call it a ghost story.
They're right.
The city of South Darbat is one of the many cores of magic, a link to energy, hidden in the world of the waking, a sanctuary meticulously built over 6000 years.
Some people imagine this city as some kind of idyllic, magical training ground, like a paradise, where the protagonist in an American kung fu movie might go to cultivate. There are many monks in red robes with bald heads who teach the protagonist some kind of super divine skill, and then the protagonist goes to New York to fight the mafia and triads, become a kung fu superstar, and get a master title or something.
This kind of imagination is full of stereotypes about forces and cultures that are unfamiliar to oneself, while in fact—
No problem. South Darbat is exactly that kind of city.
The city is protected by the goddess Ramakushna. Many people may not know much about this minor deity who died, but many will have heard of another famous member of the goddess.
DC superhero, "Dead Man" Boston Brand.
He was originally an acrobat in the Gotham City Circus, but after being murdered, he gained the favor of the goddess Ramakushna.
The goddess Ramakushna granted him a ghost form after his death, granting him the superpowers of flight, invisibility, and the ability to possess others and control their actions. From then on, Deadman Boston used this identity to fight for justice, and he was also a key founder of the Justice League Dark.
The dead have many important achievements, oh well, but we won't talk about those now. We're going to single out one thing to mention.
This person once tried to possess Batman Bruce Wayne, but after a short while, he was expelled from the body by the other party's willpower.
It can be said that the goddess Ramakushna is the patron goddess of the dead in Boston, and the city of South Dalbat is the goddess's stronghold.
This place is filled with countless monks who serve the goddess, and each of them possesses abilities similar to those of a dead superhero.
No one in the entire magical world would want to provoke such a heavily guarded place, but today—
This place will probably be reduced to ashes.
Amidst the boiling inferno, a woman suspended in mid-air looks down upon the entire city.
Inside that body, the superhero "Dorn the God" was screaming.
She was under the control of the goddess of magic, Hecate, and was unable to break free. As a hero of the magical side, she chanted every spell she knew in an attempt to regain control of her body, but all was powerless against Hecate's power. At that moment, she prayed to the goddess Ramakushna to forgive her for what she was about to do.
With all her might, she begged the monks to run away quickly, as Dorn did not want to see herself slaughtering any of them.
However, the dead of Nandarbat have guarded the gates of the afterlife for generations. For a long time, they have lived in peace with death and drawn incredible power from it. More importantly, they protect their goddess.
A believer would never abandon their goddess and run away, especially since the goddess had given them power and saved them from the pain of living. So when Hecate, controlling the superhero god Dorn, broke through the main road of Nandalbat, killing everyone in sight, and fought her way to the temple of the goddess Ramakushna, she was met with a head-on attack from the entire army of the undead monks.
Countless monks fell one after another, and then their souls transformed into translucent blue shadows that burst forth from their bodies.
Hundreds upon hundreds of dead monks surged into the body of the god Dorn like a tidal wave.
They are helping the superhero fight against Hecate's control, trying to reclaim her soul from the goddess of magic.
In an instant, countless hands reached out from the god Dorn, especially the hands that came out of his eyes and mouth, causing his skin to deform violently like putty.
The undead attempted to finish the fight in one fell swoop, but the god Dorn let out a terrible scream, mixed with the voice of the goddess Hecate: "Get out of my way—"
Then came an even more piercing shriek: "Get out of my way!!!"
In an instant, he drove hundreds of dead people out of their bodies, and the souls of those mortals, even with the protection of the goddess Ramakushna, were reduced to ashes by Hecate's attack.
Half of them were almost instantly returned to the embrace of their goddess, only to be resurrected after a long period of time; while the other small group were completely annihilated, entering the ultimate death of the Second Sister of the Endless Family.
The ground was filled with cries of despair, and only a few powerful monks were able to return to their physical bodies and rise again.
The goddess Ramakushna could no longer ignore all of this.
"The proud goddess of witchcraft—"
When the golden Ramakushna appeared before his temple, Hecate, who controlled the body of the god Dorn, even felt somewhat humbled.
"Why do you want to destroy me? I, Ramakushna, have guarded the boundary between life and death for generations. I have never interfered in your affairs. I only seek to guide the dead to eternal peace."
Eternal peace refers to the Death Sister of the Endless Family.
Ramokushna couldn't help but feel humble.
Although she is also a secondary god of death, theoretically speaking, she is a representative of death of the same level as the Black Death Emperor, the Death Glider, the Black Lightning, and other gods. She is a representative of death who has carved out her own domain in death.
However, her power was far weaker than that of her peers. The Black Death Emperor and other gods enhanced their power by spreading death, while the goddess Ramakushna was a benevolent goddess who only guided those beings, rather than spreading terror.
This will obviously reduce her power directly. Even if Hecate's power has not recovered to its peak, the goddess still cannot match her.
If Hecate hadn't arrived so quickly and attacked so fiercely, she would have even considered relocating her temple and city, rather than inviting this scourge.
"You've done a terrible job, sister. Magic has become a burden. I'm going to burn it to the ground and replace it with something better."
Under the watchful gaze of the goddess Ramakushna, the deity Dorn finally revealed the true form of Hecate, the triad of goddesses.
Mother, young woman, resentful old woman —
Ramokushna faced the horrific sight, realizing that Hecate was only controlling one-fifth of her power. "You are within my power domain—you wouldn't think—"
"I am neither alive nor dead, and your power is utterly useless before me. My child, my cursed witch, let her see what I'm made of."
Hecate whispered, while the goddess Dorn leaped high into the air, half of her body transforming into a shimmering red light.
In an instant, Hecate's red magical power nearly set half the city ablaze, while Ramokhunash fought desperately to resist.
"Hey, boss, stop hitting us! We—we have to run!"
Amidst the intense clash of energies, Ramakushana's beautiful golden face appeared and disappeared in the sky.
She looked down and saw her most beloved hero, Boston Brand, the infamous Dead Man, rushing over to persuade her goddess to flee.
"Boston Brand, you want me to run away from my home, to run away from South Darbart?"
"All of this—no, it's just bricks and dust. The rest is all metaphor. You can get this pile of useless stones anywhere. We can rebuild a city anytime, but if you let Hecate kill you—"
"After absorbing your power, she can interfere with the realm of death!" Rolkushna said, "I... I'm not quite sure—"
She was still somewhat hesitant; she had built the temple here for far too long, from the time of the Crisis of Infinite Earths until now.
No matter how the main universe changes, she will always stay here as a homebody goddess, develop her own followers, and do nothing else.
Suddenly she was told to run away —
"No, run! Please, my goddess!" the dead man cried. "You gave me a second chance before, you have to let me help you. I've been playing this game for a long time. All we need is a body to take you away from here!"
The goddess Rolkushna was gradually losing ground; she was not a death deity known for her fighting prowess. She wisely heeded the advice of the dead.
"Alright, alright, my monks, their bodies have lost their hosts, they can use them, temporarily."
The golden power of the goddess Rolkushna transformed into tentacles, connecting with the monks who had fallen to the ground, their souls shattered by Hecate.
These monks stood up strangely, and using them as vessels, the goddess Rolkushna could command them to escape from this place.
However, neither the dead nor the goddess Rolkushna noticed that in the night sky not far away, the Hand of the Void was hiding in the darkness, secretly watching his prey.
Chen Tao felt the call.
This is not some kind of mysterious telepathy, but rather something in a physical sense.
Just moments ago, he had returned to his newly restored Dark Multiverse and was on his way to meet Alfred and many members of the Bat Family when he suddenly caught a gust of cold air from the air and fell straight down, nearly killing himself.

Is this even human language? A Batman who is close to a sixth-dimensional god almost fell to his death while flying because he couldn't catch his breath.
Please, he could have just teleported there, but he just wanted to experience what it felt like to fly over the city.
Anyway, it's kind of funny.
But it had already happened. When Chen Tao opened his eyes, he saw Death sitting in front of him with a displeased expression.
"Let me guess." Chen Tao sat up from the ground: "I remember falling from the sky, and then I witnessed death. This means—"
"What does this mean?" Death tilted her head, making the small black hook under the gothic girl's eye particularly noticeable.
She casually tossed the small parasol between her fingers, clearly annoyed.
"That means you miss me," Chen Tao said.
"This means there's something you want to do for me," Death replied.
Chen Tao stared blankly at her.
"So, what is it?"
Chen Tao asked.
Death wore an unhappy expression.
"It's nothing," she said.
Unfortunately, the second sister of the Endless Family could not defy her instincts.
Whether it's the goddess Ramakushna, a minor deity of death, or a tiny goldfish in a fish tank, death cannot interfere with their life or death.
Death is a rule, and can only be a rule. When Chen Tao slowly woke up from the ground, he saw the huge crater he had fallen from the sky into, and the ordinary people gathered around him.
When he fell, he had already chosen the angle and position to ensure that no one would be hit by him and die on the spot.
He smacked his lips and pondered for a moment.
In short, he felt that he had received a mission, a mission for which there was nothing yet.
