Chapter 781 Buzz Lightyear suddenly realizes he's a toy
Chapter 781 Buzz Lightyear suddenly realizes he is a... toy
Mono no aware.
This is a Japanese loanword, referring to something that, though beautiful and dazzling at the moment, is destined to be short-lived.
Beautiful cherry blossoms will inevitably wither away tragically and resolutely; no matter how shocking the announcement, in the end it is nothing more than an echo in an empty valley. No matter how beautiful a girl was in life, in the end, she is nothing more than a skeleton under the yellow sand.
Fate is fickle, and time flies by; this is the pathos of things.
My old friend, you know I will eventually leave, sooner or later.
One day, I will no longer be myself. I will be like the setting sun before nightfall, like a lamp that is about to go out.
But at least for this moment today, my friend…
I will fight for you!
I am Supreme Little Super Monkey, a monkey living in the multiverse.
I am nothing more than a weird creature created by a guy called Batman Dragon using the magical power of the Crimson of All Beings.
My life is destined to be short, but it will certainly be brilliant and passionate.
It was as if cherry blossoms were falling from the sky...
The stars were like rain.

Within the melting pot of the world.
For some unknown reason, the Monitor did not fight with the Anti-Monitor for control of Barbatos' body. So, although the two of them now control Barbatos together, the Anti-Monitor is actually the main controller.
Upon closer examination, it becomes clear that the surveillance was somewhat suspicious from the very beginning.
He not only gave the tuning fork, an important tool for suppressing the anti-monitors, to the Foolish Owl, but also later joined forces with the anti-monitors, who had always been his enemies.
The Monitors so easily gave up their consistent efforts since the Crisis on Infinite Earths to suppress and control the Anti-Monitors, preventing them from invading the behavioral logic of the downstream of the trans-time flow.
There must be a reason for this, but the counter-surveillance agents are completely unaware of it—
Weird.
But even knowing that the monitor is definitely plotting something in the dark, the counter-monitor has no other choice.
In his confrontation with his brother, although he often appeared to be the one with the upper hand, in fact, many of the anti-monitor's actions were calculated by the monitor.
For example, during the Crisis on Infinite Earths, the Anti-Monitor brainwashed the Monitor's adopted daughter, Lyra, and ambushed and killed the Monitor from behind. The Monitor then used his own death to activate the Cosmic Tuning Fork, laying the foundation for the heroes' ultimate victory in the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
The anti-monitor is certainly wary of his brother, but in any case, he has already achieved his goal. Even if the monitor turns against him now, he is capable of confronting him directly.
So now, as long as he manipulates Barbatos to create enough crisis power, he can continue his plan to completely release himself.
The only obstacle is Batman Dragon in front of him, and beside him...
Supreme Superman?
Something seems off. The Anti-Monitor recognized Superman the moment he saw him, the little madman who had killed the Anti-Monitor once before (Note: This incident occurred at the end of the Sinestro Legion War). Even if he were reduced to ashes, the Anti-Monitor would still remember him.
However, the other party is acting strangely now.
This guy's face was covered in monkey hair, and he didn't have the arrogant and fierce expression that Superman had. Instead, he looked a bit silly and dull.
Then he looked at Batman Dragon standing next to Superman Supreme and wondered, "Wait, how did this guy get in?"
Some of the counter-surveillance advocates realized something was wrong.
"You've completely blended in with Batman and the Dragon," he said. "They turned into clothes on you and then followed you in."
Are you confident?
Chen Tao asked the Supreme Little Super Monkey in a low voice.
Now, the other party is no longer giving Chen Tao the cold shoulder or pretending not to hear him at all.
"Around three or seven." Supreme Little Super Monkey nodded.
Chen Tao understood, and he nodded.
Although their understanding of the 30/70 split might differ slightly, at least at this moment they had completed a proper exchange.
"Hanging out with Batman would be the stupidest decision you've ever made, Superman Supreme. And what's with the hair on your face?"
As the anti-surveillance agent spoke, he gently raised his hand. Chen Tao was very familiar with the anti-surveillance agent's actions; as soon as he raised his hand, Chen Tao knew what he was going to do.
He immediately sent a long essay to Supreme Little Super Monkey via the telepathic channel on the battlefield, like a cat reacting to stress, emphasizing again to Supreme Little Super Monkey:
"Listen, I'll say it again. As I said, the Anti-Monitor is actually quite cowardly right now. Even piloting Barbatos, he doesn't want to confront you head-on. He'll definitely teleport you away first. But as long as you follow my method, you can return quickly, and each time you return faster than the last, as long as..."
Before he could finish speaking, with a whoosh, the Supreme Little Super Monkey vanished from the spot.
Chen Tao did not appear flustered.
This is a predictable scenario. Or rather, it would be truly bizarre if the anti-surveillance agents were to foolishly confront the Supreme Little Monkey head-on.
The Anti-Monitor, manipulating Barbatos's body, banished the Supreme Little Monkey with a wave of his hand, then tried to do the same to Chen Tao and Hero Day, but in the end, neither of them was teleported away.
"You forgot that I am Barbatos's servant god, and on Hero's Day I also gave him the same status as a member of the Dark Knights," Chen Tao said.
He curled his lip: "If you were the real Barbatos, you could naturally manipulate the World Forge and teleport us away, but you are not him. You can only possess Lord Barbatos's body, but you can never become him!"
The anti-surveillance advocates don't even bother to say anything.
Barbatos was just a dog. Who would want to be a dog?
Okay, maybe "dog" is a bit much; Barbatos is a tiger who thinks he's a dog.
Without long-term planning and precise strikes, it is almost impossible for counter-surveillance agents to control their adversaries.
Although it is now under control, the use of Barbatos's abilities is entirely based on his own use of antimatter energy, and it doesn't fit the opponent's body at all.
In fact, Chen Tao had previously considered giving the Supreme Little Super Monkey the identity of a Dark Knight, sharing Chen Tao's dark matter universe energy with him. However, the Supreme Little Super Monkey's biological stance was simply too powerful, essentially a timeline overwrite, capable of affecting the Supreme Little Superman's body, which resembled that of an ancient Greek demigod.
"Can't we just banish them...?" The Anti-Monitor paused for a moment, but he reacted just as quickly. The next second, Hero Day found that he and Batman had been separated!
But Hero Day remained calm because Batman Dragon had told him about this possibility beforehand. He was always so insightful, taking all possible scenarios into account, and this time, the other party had also made the right calculation.
Hero Day cautiously surveyed his surroundings. He only needed to hold out for a little while longer and then wait for Batman Dragon to launch a counterattack.
This process will be quick. Soon Batman Dragon will arrive and join him. Then, Hero Day will have to keep sending messages to Superman Supreme, while Chen Tao will use Hero Day to command Superman Supreme. This process will be repeated until Barbatos' true willpower is triggered and the Anti-Monitor is driven out of Barbatos' body.
Hero Day retreated a short distance along the separated World Forge area until he finally found a rock wall. He leaned against the rock wall; here was the World Forge, shimmering with heat, and the Anti-Monitor, having just taken control of Barbatos, couldn't possibly jump out from the rock wall to ambush him.
But at that moment, a telepathic connection reached him.
Hero Day originally intended to immediately cut off Batman's plans, which included how to retaliate if he were mind-manipulated by the Anti-Monitor.
He also possesses a massive bomb called the Joker's Memory. According to Batman Dragon, if anyone dares to use mind control on you, just throw this crazy circus at them—that's enough to retaliate.
But the current situation seems to be different from what Batman: Dragon said before.
He obtained a cluster of memories, a cluster of memories of the anti-surveillance agents.
This is one, this is...
Heroes' Day stared wide-eyed.
He saw a towering giant, a blue-skinned giant wielding a massive hammer, and he recognized him.
Batman once told him that it was the World Forger, their enemy, the sixth-dimensional god who had captured Superman of the main universe, the monster they were about to face.
And for today, for Heroes' Day.
The created playthings tremble as they face their own gods.
You see, we told that story before.
Buzz Lightyear walked into a room and saw his own penis on the television.
There has never been a Hero's Day, only... only a dummy created entirely by the World Maker.
The world has never been so naked.
Everything exists by chance, lacking inherent purpose and meaning.
This awareness brings a strong sense of unease to Heroes' Day, manifesting as a kind of spiritual nausea, akin to a profound reflection on the nature of life.
Life lacking intrinsic purpose renders all pursuits and efforts futile. No matter how hard one tries, it is all in vain, ultimately leading to demise. The process itself is meaningless.
The heroic identity he was so proud of was all imposed on him from the outside.
Appeared.
In the memories of the Anti-Monitor, the World Builders were not as able to create a creature so easily and instantly as they are now.
In the most distant past, when the three brothers worked together to seal their mother, Papetua, on the Origin Wall, they had a period of good times working together.
During that time, the Anti-Monitors witnessed more than once how their brother, the World Maker, created worlds, first by kneading a fake object out of nothingness using energy.
Then, gradually give it a shape.
The Anti-Monitor specifically sought out a World Maker to create a scenario of apocalypse in a dark multiverse.
At that time, the World Maker was not very skilled; he was slow in creating worlds and in creating life.
On Hero Day, you can see a creature exactly like yourself being created bit by bit, like sculpting a clay toy.
The world's forger even accidentally made a small mistake, then flattened the energy and started over, like a child who ruined a figurine.
Then soon time changed, the era changed, the world changed, and the creator of the universe became faster and more skilled. He now rarely creates individual characters anymore; he usually creates all the characters in the entire universe together.
Countless parallel universes, countless doomsdays—all those memories, beautiful, malevolent, and tragic, are nothing more than threads gently woven by the creators of the world.
"No!!!!"
Hero Day let out a desperate roar, and in an instant he forgot all of Chen Tao's previous teachings to him, forgot the underlying logic of victory that Chen Tao had told him to protect himself and summon the Supreme Little Superman.
This is a complete destruction and collapse of values and spirit. Someone has provided clear evidence of the mistakes and upheavals in your entire life, and all the signs in your past have made it clear that this is not a false lie.
Damn Buzz Lightyear, you actually realized it too, you already guessed it, from the moment you discovered that you couldn't actually become the main universe's Superman, you didn't even dare to ask Batman Dragon.
You're deliberately avoiding the question, "If I were Hero Sun, could I try to succeed the main universe's Superman and temporarily replace Superman Supreme?"
You are deliberately avoiding this question because deep down you know the doubts surrounding you.
You guessed it too.
You are not stupid at all.
But now that someone has pointed it out to you, you can no longer avoid it.
He didn't care about anything else on Hero Day; instead of running away, he lunged at Barbatos, who had suddenly appeared before him.
"I am a hero! I can defeat you!"
Yes, that's right. Heroes are those who create miracles. For a hero, creating miracles is his job, his ability.
For a hero, the most important quality is not how much fighting power he has, nor his superpowers or intelligence, but his ability to create miracles.
The DC multiverse contains many powerful yet obscure figures, such as Soul Eaters and anti-heroes like Black Spider.
They may possess immense strength, or even intelligence comparable to Batman, but they are not heroes; they are merely mortals, incapable of creating miracles.
So let it happen, a miracle, happen!!!
Hero Day lunged forward like a madman, which played right into the Anti-Monitor's hands. Batman Dragon used the power of the Fifth Dimension to create a spell for Hero Day that was difficult to catch instantly. If Hero Day tried to break it, he would be countered by Batman Dragon. But now Hero Day was pouncing on him.
If he still can't catch the other party, wouldn't he be an idiot?
Heroes' Day is a day for suicide, but it is not suicide.
Attacking the villain symbolizes his clinging to a fictional identity, a symbol of his attempt to escape his true self, and this escape ultimately leads to the downfall of the toy Buzz Lightyear...
He broke his arm.
