Chapter 237 Could he really be the Green Lantern?
I am Atositas.
I possess blood magic, an innate talent of our race, just as birds soar through the skies and fish dive deep into the ocean on this planet.
Blood magic, on the other hand, is a type of magic most adept at prophecy, at least in my sector.
When I was very young, my blood relatives spoke to me amidst the flames.
They warned me that my soul would one day erupt with hatred, burning like flames and suffocating any hope within me.
"That crimson, raging fury will erupt from your fingertips and jaws, creating a firestorm in its wake, engulfing everything! Your bones will be the fuel, and your soul will rise as smoke..."
That's right, my life story was already being told when I was born.
That prophecy told me:
I will spend my life with anger and resentment.
ridiculous.
How could such a prophecy come true? Our planet is under the protection of the mechanical hunters. They belong to the great guardians of the universe.
We live in sector 666, and we are perfectly safe.
Atositas opened his eyes.
By this time, it was already bright daylight, and the dawn light shone into the woods.
The campfire, still burning brightly in the early morning, flickered before him. Athositas blew on it, and it reignited, dispelling the dew, moisture, and lingering chill.
He closed his eyes again.
"Help—Help—"
"ah--"
boom--
Athositas frowned. He tried desperately to hear the voices of his family, his home, his world, everything from that flame.
However, all he heard were the dying cries of everyone, the bloodshed of the planet, the sobbing of fully armed warriors, and finally, even the weeping disappeared.
Long before the Guardians of the Universe recruited sentient beings to form the Green Lantern Corps, they had created another armed security force.
A force they believed would never be swayed by emotions; in the eyes of the Guardians, emotions were a flaw for intelligent life. They created thousands upon thousands of artificial soldiers, the "Mechanical Hunters," and dispatched these robots throughout the universe to maintain order. For billions of years, they obeyed orders until that massacre.
It happened in an instant, whether by accident or design, no one knows. Some kind of malfunction occurred in the mechanical hunters, and they concluded that only by completely eradicating life could the order of the universe be ensured. They annihilated world after world, annihilating trillions of intelligent life forms.
All life in sector 666 perished, and blood stained every planet red.
The universe has gained peace and order, but it is a graveyard-like peace; the hopes that once sang are now forever silent.
Almost no one survived in the entire sector except for him and four other survivors. A sector that was once full of life was now reduced to only five people.
They became known as the Rebel Five, a vengeful group determined to destroy the Guardians of the Universe.
Using blood magic, they began to search for the hidden power of this universe, and through various rituals and sacrifices, they glimpsed the deepest level of the future.
Then they saw darkness, a lifeless darkness that even the light of the guardians could not penetrate.
That darkness will destroy the entire universe.
A few hours later, he opened his eyes.
He used the clothes of the corpses around him to cover his body, which was far taller and larger than that of an Earthling, and his face with red fangs.
Is the prophecy... bound to come true?
He doesn't believe it.
He wanted to try, to try to stop the inevitable night at the very beginning.
Athositas is about to reverse the prophecy... He will go and save the world from its source!
Next stop, William Hand.
……
……
……
Hal Jordan ultimately did not take action against Batman.
His face darkened, and he wished he could disappear into a hole when he thought about what he had just said.
Thinking he was going to die, he started blurting out his inner thoughts and feelings...
Hal Jordan took two deep breaths.
"So you should thank me, if it weren't for me..."
Batman was still rambling on.
"Enough!" Hal said. "Release Sinestro first."
"I didn't say I was going to hold him."
Hal walked over and pulled Senesto, who also had a tense expression, out of a large, yellowish-brown mess.
The red-skinned alien's face turned red as he was squeezed by the large yellow lump.
"You're provoking Green Lantern," he said, ignoring Hal's pleading look.
In fact, Seneca wasn't crazy to keep provoking; on the contrary, he made the absolutely right choice.
Chen Tao looked at him, and sure enough, Sinestro's next words were:
"Murdering a Green Lantern and resisting law enforcement are completely different levels. Every creature that openly murders a Green Lantern will be recorded, and then all the Green Lanterns on your planet Oa will come out in droves to hunt you down. Our conflict hasn't reached that level yet."
Chen Tao rubbed his buttocks and chin. Sinestro said these words because he was still unsure whether Chen Tao would actually kill them.
Unlike Hal Jordan, Sinestro believed that Chen Tao's explanations were complete nonsense. The two men, constrained by the yellow defect, were still in danger of death and could be killed at any moment.
Given that neither of them has the ability to confront Chen Tao, the threat from Ou Axing is currently the biggest bargaining chip they can offer to "survive."
"Oh, right, right, the Green Lanterns have all come out in force. I'm so scared. You've come to Earth, and you'll be utterly defeated just like you were against Darkseid."
Seneca choked. Because what Chen Tao said was true.
Long ago, the Green Lantern Corps attempted to liberate Apokolips from Darkseid's reign of terror. The entire corps was mobilized, but unsurprisingly, the several thousand-strong army was utterly routed by Darkseid and fled in disarray.
As a result, the Guardians of the Universe negotiated with Darkseid, tacitly approving his reign of terror over Apokolips, and even betraying Rakers, the Green Lantern who spearheaded the attack on Apokolips, directly to Darkseid.
This is a dark chapter in the Green Lantern Corps' history, and if Sinestro hadn't been a seasoned Green Lantern himself, he probably wouldn't even know about it.
His face suddenly turned grim. This revealed a very dangerous signal: the enemy before him not only knew the Green Lantern Corps well, but also completely disregarded them.
Their lives would then be in grave danger.
"Oh, relax. So what's going on?" The atmosphere between the two of them became tense again. Hal stepped between them, then turned to look at Batman and coughed lightly, as if hoping that Batman would say something conciliatory.
But the two of them still glared at each other across him, like fighting cocks.
Hal could only awkwardly try to make conversation: "Okay, even though you strangled me half to death, Sinestro was also a bit wrong. He shouldn't have just kidnapped you like that, OK? Now that you've beaten both of us into submission, it's all over."
It was still completely silent.
In the end, it was Chen Tao who waved goodbye.
The yellow raindrops that were still falling from the sky finally stopped, and the two yellow Bat fighter jets returned to base.
Upon regaining his powers, Sinestro's face immediately glowed green.
He immediately leaped into the air, but wasn't foolish enough to continue attacking Batman: "Going against the Green Lantern Corps is a complete mistake. You lack even the most basic respect for the Green Lantern."
He paused, then changed the subject and continued:
"...Every Green Lantern is unique, and each ring has its own number. Even if a Green Lantern dies, the flying Green Lantern ring will record the last image. Then the murderer of the Green Lantern will incur the wrath of the Green Lantern Corps."
Chen Tao knew he was just making threats. Although Seneca seemed angry on the surface, he was surprisingly calm.
From the moment he spoke until now, he has been repeatedly emphasizing the consequences of killing Green Lantern.
Chen Tao just watched him talk.
The subtext is that even if you kill us and bury us, the Green Lantern Corps will still find us.
Chen Tao silently extended one palm.
Green Lantern Batman? Give it a try!
Sinestro continued, "Green Lantern is the cosmic policeman, maintaining the order of the universe..."
"The sun is high in the sky," Chen Tao said.
"What are you doing?" Hal asked.
He looked at Sinestro, who was still wary, with a headache, while Batman, as if he had lost his mind, stretched out his bare hand and began reciting the Green Lantern Oath that he knew all too well.
"The night is vast and dark."
"Okay, now that we've cleared up the misunderstanding, I remember the government needed to speak with me..."
"You..." Seneca sensed something and frowned deeply.
"Demons and monsters have nowhere to hide."
First, silvery-white particles surged around Batman's body, and then green light rose up from his body, illuminating every inch of the ground beneath his feet.
Seneca's eyes widened.
"The wicked and evil followers fear my divine light."
The uniform created by the Green Lantern ring coalesces on Batman's body, dyeing his black suit a dark green. The Green Lantern symbol of Oars Star and the Batman logo on his chest combine to form a new symbol with a highly distinctive personal touch.
"May the green light always shine... forever!"
A black cape, enveloped in a vibrant green light, fluttered behind Batman.
"This...this is impossible." Hal Jordan blinked.
"This isn't...this is clearly not my line!"
"But..." he said, clutching his head, "They told me that there can only be one Green Lantern in a sector."
He looked at Sinestro somewhat incoherently: "Salak didn't tell me any of this! This guy is obviously from Earth."
He asked Sinestro, "Do you recognize his green light ring?"
Sinestro deftly held up the ring in front of him: "Ring, verify the identity of the Green Lantern before you."
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away on the planet Oa...
Guardian Ganther sat alone inside one of the Green Lantern Corps' buildings, the lamplight in front of him glowing green.
The next second, a message appeared above the furnace: "Sinestro, the Green Lantern of Sector 1417, has violated territorial orders and entered..."
Ganser skillfully waved his little blue hand and deleted the message directly from the chat list.
As the only Guardian with emotions, sending Sinestro to Earth was entirely his idea. He needed Sinestro to help him find out what had happened to Abinsu, so naturally he also had to quietly take care of the aftermath. At least until Sinestro completed his mission, he couldn't let the other Guardians discover what Sinestro had done.
"Sinestro, the Green Lantern of Sector 1417, requests identification of the Green Lantern before him."
Oh, identifying a new Green Lantern, has Sinestro found Hal Jordan, the successor to Abin Sue?
But why bother identifying the other party? Ganser found it a bit strange, so he clicked on the message.
"...?"
A question mark appeared on Ganser's forehead.
A new green light? Appearing on Earth?
Doesn't he remember any recent news about Green Lantern's death?
"Batman...? And who is this guy?"
Ganser operated the instrument for a while, checking and searching, but he didn't get any information.
"This guy isn't even in O'Ah's records... No, wait, the green light ring this guy is wearing has absolutely nothing to do with O'Ah... Wait, no, it's related, what? Isn't this Abin Sue's green light ring?!"
Ganther fell into deep thought.
But he clearly remembered that Abin Sue had chosen Hal Jordan as his successor, so how could this ring be broken in two?
Sinestro scanned a genuine green light ring, not a replica.
?
"Guardian." Just as Ganther was lost in thought, a Green Lantern pushed open the door and entered, startling him.
"It's Salak." Ganser quickly said some small talk to divert the other person's attention, making sure the other person's eyes weren't looking at the instruments, and then said, "What's the matter?"
His face returned to the same expressionless look as the other guardians. As a sentient being hidden among a group of emotionless individuals, he was all too familiar with putting on this act.
"Recently there has been..."
Salak was completely unaware of what Ganther was doing. He was talking about other things, and then he started to operate the instruments again, which startled Ganther so much that he quickly and quietly deleted all the messages sent by Seneca.
On this side of the Earth.
"There has been no response from Ou Axing's side."
"Senesto said. He looked at Chen Tao."
"Could he really be Green Lantern?"
But at that moment, Hal Jordan's ring lit up.
"Waiting for comments to play."
Senesto heard Abinsu's voice coming from Hal Jordan's green light ring.
"Respect to you, Sinestro. If you see this message... I understand that lately I've no longer been as impartial and effective as you as a law enforcement officer, but I, as a teacher, am not afraid of being surpassed by my students. Your achievements are my new hope, Sinestro."
Yay, I found my PY again.
In this life, even a love addict won't do it.
In my first life, I was kept by a scheming woman for 10 years. She said she only saw me as a brother, and then she got into someone else's car.
In my second life, I realized my mistake: I'll never be a sycophant again! I saved a rich, beautiful, and beautiful senior, thinking I could finally have a sweet romance and live a carefree life. But who knew that this yandere senior would create a lifelong psychological trauma for me?
In my third life, I've finally understood! I've truly understood! If I were to fall in love again, I'd be a dog!
In this lifetime, I'm not even in a relationship!
Woof! Woof woof!!
