Dumb Owl was silently pondering.
When it came to Barbatos, Batman Dragon's attitude left Dumb Owl somewhat unable to read him.
It wasn't because he, Dumb Owl, was too stupid to understand the mutually deceptive relationship between Batman Dragon and Barbatos. Rather, at present, Barbatos was practically the only backer Batman Dragon had behind him.
Look, the situation was obvious.
Behind The Batman Who Laughs stood the shadows of Perpetua, who was still on the Wall, and Empty Hand. Behind him, Dumb Owl, stood Anti-Monitor, Monitor, Dream God, and Doctor Manhattan.
But what did Batman Dragon have behind him?

Of course, you could say that I didn't need a backer, but then the situation would become one where everyone else had cheats while you were the only one relying on skill.
These supporters could provide you with assistance in extraordinary circumstances. For example, Doctor Manhattan had given Dumb Owl the essence of n-superman's life force. That was the core of Dumb Owl's entire plan. It would have been practically impossible for Dumb Owl to obtain such a thing on his own.
No matter how confident Batman Dragon was in his own abilities—
"Barbatos is too uncontrollable." Chen Tao said, "His condition is worse than I imagined. I've been worrying all along about how badly things would collapse if Barbatos fell under the control of Perpetua and Empty Hand. I originally intended to persuade Supreme Superboy to help suppress him... but I haven't even figured out how to persuade him yet."
Dumb Owl: "..."
He finally realized that playing guessing games with Batman was a waste of time. Whatever Batman said, he might as well take it as the truth.
The other party had given Dumb Owl an explanation that perfectly embodied the paradox of suspicion. It sounded very
