Barbatos realized he had made a mistake. Once Batman no longer feared death, trying to threaten him with death became one of the stupidest things he could do.
If the man was already prepared to pull out a hammer studded with n metal, raise baby Darkseid, and fire him straight into his own face, what could he possibly have qualms about?
Chen Tao and Barbatos both realized at the same time that the miniature bomb held by Prime Universe Bat was his Plan B.
Chen Tao was certain that if things really reached the point where Prime Universe Bat needed to detonate the bomb to drive Barbatos back, the Sixth Dimension Armor would leave Batman's body before the detonation, then carry Prime Universe Bat's corpse away from the wreckage afterward—
That sounded ridiculous. How could the corpse of an ordinary mortal survive such an explosion?
But during this period, Prime Universe Bat had already been transformed into a portal by Barbatos. His body was filled with metal, and that metal had not been consumed by the act of opening the portal itself.
So theoretically, if Barbatos could survive the explosion, he could recover Prime Universe Bat's corpse and continue carrying out his objective. Naturally, our Bruce would never allow that to happen.
Although Darkseid had been driven away by Chen Tao and Barbatos working together, he had merely been driven off. He was not dead.
Prime Universe Bat could still find him and forcibly demand that he willingly fire a full magazine into him.
Only being cast into infinite timelines and parallel universes by the Omega Sanction could evade Barbatos's pursuit.
As long as Prime Universe Batman's plan succeeded, he would become a mobile flying coffin that kept traveling through different timelines. Barbatos would never be able to catch him,
