Chapter 264 Atrocitus is Terrified (6,000 words long chapter, I’m so awesome! I want to read it!)

Calm.

The whole family will die?

It doesn't matter. What's there to be angry about?

At this moment, Atrocitus' heart was calm, with a Zen-like state like an old monk in meditation - what the hell!

As soon as he saw Batman in front of him, he was furious. The other party deceived his trust and used him as a tool to attract the Red Lantern Corps's lantern beast, the Blood Slaughter Bull!

"How dare you - how dare you -"

At this moment, Atrocitus has completely become the host of the Blood Slaughter Bull, and has a powerful strength comparable to the Ghost, the spirit of revenge of God. At this moment, he was furious and was about to pour this rage on Batman.

This is one of the most important characteristics of the Blood Slaughter Bull: he can fully stimulate the host's anger and make this anger start to burn regardless of everything, so that the Blood Slaughter Bull can eat by itself. Before absorbing anger, the Blood Slaughter Bull certainly hopes that the anger is as big as possible, right?

Just like Atrocitus.

Chen Tao had clearly said to Atrocitus "for a just cause" before. According to common sense, if he was thinking normally, he should have realized that Batman was deliberately provoking him again.

The leader of the Red Lantern Corps is not someone who can't control his anger. On the contrary, when it comes to emotional management, Atrocitus is the best among the Seven Lantern Corps.

After all, not everyone can be so organized when wearing a red lantern ring. Hal Jordan wore a red lantern ring in the comics, but he was much crazier than Atrocitus and directly put Sinestro on the electric chair.

Atrocitus can control his emotions very well. Although the red lantern ring will make the user fall into a rage forever, Atrocitus is undoubtedly an exception.

In the early comics, he was even the only red lantern in the Red Lantern Corps who could speak normally. For a long time, the Red Lantern Corps in the comics were basically a group of screaming lunatics. This situation did not improve until Atrocitus used something called a blood pool to restore the sanity of other members of the Legion. The outermost layer of the emotional spectrum has a greater impact on the user's mind. This is not an exaggeration.

But now Atrocitus has completely fallen into a mode of indiscriminate rage under the stimulation of the blood-slaughtering bull. He can't use rational thinking to think whether this is Batman's intentional behavior. This is purely the blood-slaughtering bull deliberately influencing the mind of Atrocitus as the host in order to obtain more anger for itself.

In short, Atrocitus is almost mad now.

He jumped on the spot, regardless of any means of attack, and simply landed on all fours, opened his fangs like a beast, and was about to bite Chen Tao.

Gra!

Hearing the sound of iron chains, Atrocitus lowered his head and saw countless red light energy that was transformed into red chains coming out from the red light central energy battery center that he had just cast by hand, and following the trajectory of the magic circle that Batman had just drawn on the ground, tightly entangled him.

The next second, the red light energy chain was broken into pieces by Atrocitus, who was possessed by the Blood Slaughter Bull.

Atrocitus stared at Chen Tao with a pair of red eyes: "Batman, you..."

Swish!

With a slight sound, the anger that Atrocitus had just born, who was about to rush to Batman, was directly sucked into the stomach by the Blood Slaughter Bull.

The red light beast made a climax-like sound:

"Delicious! So delicious! I have never eaten such delicious anger!"

Although it was already possessed by Atrocitus, the Blood Slaughter Bull still used blood-red energy to condense a small version of itself on the opponent's back.

Its cow face showed a human-like satisfaction, and then its whole body began to tremble, and it kept stamping its front hooves. The whole cow began to boil like boiling water.

It was so delicious that it stamped its feet! Good!

"Shut up..."

The angry Atrocitus, who was eaten away, was not so comfortable. He stood there, his body still in a forward posture, but he looked as peaceful as an Indian Sakyamuni Buddha.

Empty! Empty! Empty!

Atrocitus's brain was calm.

In the universe, everything is so peaceful, so peaceful, and full of quiet natural beauty.

The world is so beautiful, why am I so irritable?

Then he saw Batman in front of him, after a burst of silver-white particles, turned into Red Lantern Batman [Battocitus].

?

What the hell, when did Batman also wear a red lantern ring?

Why don't I know?

Atrocitus's emotions fluctuated, and then he heard Batman say to Bloody Bull:

"I am the leader of the Red Lantern Corps! Bloody Bull, come in obediently..."

Atrocitus didn't hear what Batman said afterwards, and his mind kept echoing the other party's sentence "I am the leader of the Red Lantern Corps".

I am the leader of the Red Lantern Corps! It's me! It's me! Not you!!!

"Ahhhhhhhhh..."

The majestic anger erupted like a volcano again, and Bloody Bull lay on the crater and ate it happily, and the whole bull was about to fly away with joy.

What is a buffet? The hosts he found before withered after he absorbed their anger once. If he wanted to continue to absorb anger, he needed it to keep repeating in his ear some whispers that could make people angry, such as "your whole family was killed", "your wife cheated on you and made you a cuckold", "hehehehe, you are an orphan", but even so, he would soon be exhausted and could only leave the host, leaving a peaceful creature in the place.

(For details, please refer to the DC comic "The Whitest Day")

But what is the situation today? He didn't need to do anything at all. The host named Atrocitus in front of him began to produce anger continuously, which was equivalent to someone feeding him directly. It was too comfortable!

Originally, he had discovered the strange magic circle under his feet and the red light central battery next to him, and knew that it was another stupid creature that wanted to capture him.

He had seen different civilizations and races in the hundreds of millions of years he wandered in the universe, but no one could catch him. But being entangled is troublesome after all, delaying his search for food, so he had just planned to finish eating Atrocitus's anger, and then turned around and patted the cow's butt and slipped away.

But who would have thought that the host named Atrocitus that he possessed at this time was such a treasure boy?

The Blood Slaughter Bull was reluctant to leave.

After all, it was one of the seven lamp beasts split from the Light of Creation of DC. As a representative of the emotional energy of anger, if a mere magic circle could bind him, he would have been captured by others in his long wandering, right?

So this magic circle should not work on him. He can completely ignore this strange magic circle and the strange red furnace next to him and continue to happily absorb the energy of Atrocitus, right?

And just now, this magic circle and that furnace also showed their power once, but they couldn't do anything to him and Atrocitus at all.

So there is no need to worry.

That's what the Blood Slaughter Bull thought, but he soon found out that he was wrong.

When the red chain in the Red Light Central Energy Battery was controlled by Chen Tao, who had transformed into [Red Light Batman Battocitus], and combined with the magic circle engraved by him when he transformed into [Bat Mage] before, the Blood Bull possessed by Atrocitus finally felt something was wrong.

But now he still had a chance, he could still go...

Chen Tao performed blood magic in front of Atrocitus. [Red Light Batman Battocitus] was almost a bat version of Atrocitus in a parallel universe. He even used blood magic to fuse the two of them. The blood magic he performed was not worse than Atrocitus's level, but when Atrocitus saw the other party using blood magic, he exploded on the spot.

"Where did you learn blood magic?"

"From your wife who you just killed, your partner in the Five Gangs who turned against you."

To some extent, Chen Tao did not lie. [Battocitus]'s blood magic and blood prophecy were indeed learned from the Five Gangs who turned against you in the Dark Multiverse. There was nothing wrong with it.

Uh… Atrocitus, who had just calmed down for a few seconds, was furious again. Chen Tao was used to it. Being the host of the Blood Slaughter Bull was like this. He could get furious at the slightest thing and then provide anger for the bull to eat.

He stared at the Blood Slaughter Bull closely. The focus was no longer on Atrocitus, but on the other party.

Now the Blood Slaughter Bull was unwilling to leave.

He had wanted to leave just now, but Atrocitus started to get angry again. This newly produced anger was like a hot grilled steak - uh, maybe this metaphor is not appropriate and a bit hellish, let's change it - like freshly cut grass, which was fatally attractive to the Blood Slaughter Bull.

Of course, if he turned around and left at this time, ignoring this temptation at all, the Blood Slaughter Bull would certainly be able to leave, but if he had this kind of anthropomorphic self-control, then he would not be the entity of the energy of anger.

All the actions of the Blood Slaughter Bull were based on the instinct of the angry energy to absorb more anger, and he could not resist the call of this instinct.

So he continued to stay on Atrocitus's body obediently and did not move.

"Stay..."

While Atrocitus's anger was sucked away again and turned into a reincarnated living Buddha, Chen Tao's magic that he had prepared for half a day was ready.

Along with the roar of the blood-slaughtering bull, the red light central energy battery and the magic circle that Chen Tao had previously engraved on the ground worked together to directly suck in the blood-slaughtering bull that was still chewing on Atrocitus' anger.

What the blood-slaughtering bull thought was right. As the embodiment of emotional energy such as anger, most methods are useless to him.

But just as the yellow lantern army's lantern beast [Parallax Monster] would be captured by the little blue man, the guardian of the universe, and stuffed into the green lantern central energy battery, the green lantern army's lantern beast [Ion Shark] would also live in the battery. For lantern beasts like this, their resistance to the energy of the lantern group is completely different from their resistance to other energies or methods.

The blood-slaughtering bull was too greedy for the anger on Atrocitus, and was caught directly this time, and the whole beast was dumbfounded.

But no matter how he struggled, he could not resist the suction of the Red Light Central Energy Battery, and was soon sucked in, becoming Chen Tao's prisoner.

Seeing the last wisp of Blood Slaughter Bull sucked into the battery, Chen Tao relaxed, released the synchronization, and lay on the ground gasping for breath.

Just now, he was exhausted from the continuous synchronization of [Red Light Batman Battocitus] without the Flash to help him share the burden, but fortunately the result was good.

With the Blood Slaughter Bull, the last piece of the puzzle that made Superboy Supreme lose his mind was put together - in a sense, Superboy Supreme had almost no weaknesses and was a perfect Superman.

A mere Red Lantern Ring could only have a very limited impact on him. Only the embodiment of the angry energy of the Blood Slaughter Bull could truly affect Superboy Supreme's mind.

Chen Tao's desire to "make Superboy Supreme angry and lose his mind" and the Blood Slaughter Bull's desire to "make Superboy Supreme angry and create more anger for him to eat" could coexist to some extent. This was the basis for cooperation.

Chen Tao got up from the ground very weakly, and Atrocitus, who had escaped the control of the Blood Slaughter Bull, also got up very weakly. He stared at Chen Tao with his bull eyes, and couldn't help but be furious.

Then he took a look at the Red Lantern Central Energy Battery and shuddered with fear.

Blood Slaughter Bull turns all your emotions into anger, then swallows it with a gulp, and then you become a reincarnated Buddha. This experience is so terrible that Atrocitus doesn't want to enjoy it for the second time in his life.

"Sorry." Chen Tao shrugged: "It's not that I don't want to inform you in advance, but if you know, you won't be angry, and Blood Slaughter Bull won't come, and the plan will be ruined from the beginning."

Atrocitus understands... but still angry!

"I will help you blow up the meditation mites, and then send William Hand to you." Chen Tao said concisely: "Don't worry, our cooperation is a just connection. I have a lot of use for Blood Slaughter Bull, don't worry, it's also a just cause, I need to use it to protect my planet. And you, wipe out the darkness in William Hand's heart, and other things have nothing to do with you, right?"

Atrocitus stopped talking. Batman was right. Anyway, his appeal was just this, and there was no need to say more nonsense.

He said: "Then..."

"Sorry." Chen Tao said.

Atrocitus was stunned. Batman actually knew to apologize. This made his attitude slightly better, but there was actually not much difference in his outward performance.

"Then let's go back to Earth together." He said: "Open your portal, and then we will study how to deal with the meditation mite."

"No." But his words were rejected by Batman: "Don't tell the two henchmen I brought that you and I are now in the same group."

"Huh? What do you mean? Why? Hiss... Wait, you suspect that one of them is a meditation mite? The two Kryptonians you brought?" Atrocitus didn't react at first, but he was shocked after understanding Batman's thoughts.

"Not one of them." Chen Tao corrected: "Both of them are suspected."

He said: "And this is also the reason why I won't let you go back to the meditation mite as an undercover agent, otherwise the probability of being exposed is too high. If you die in the hands of the meditation mite because of exposure, things will completely collapse."

"But those two Kryptonians were not brought by you, you should have trusted them very much..." However, Atrocitus couldn't continue speaking halfway. He looked into Batman's eyes:

"Okay, I understand, I understand. Batman doesn't trust anyone. But with Meditation Mite, I have read the information of all your people, even the dog from Krypton. So this is the part I don't understand now."

Atrocitus said: "Why do you doubt those two Kryptonians?"

"If you have read enough information from Meditation Mite, you should understand what kind of crisis the earth is facing, Atrocitus."

Atrocitus looked at Batman, who turned sideways, and a large shadow suddenly appeared on his face.

Even though the light on the star Ismote where they are standing is not dim at the moment, and there is also the light of the red light central energy battery, Batman is just standing there plainly, but it seems that there is some living darkness favoring him.

"Combined with his previous series of steps to make Thunder Shazam's missions fail repeatedly and kill civilians, and then use his biological father to deceive Billy, I have long felt that there is a spy in my team."

"Darkseid's mind control of Kryptonians is almost a traditional skill. The meditation mite and the mechanical Superman must be connected. So I think Supergirl Kara and Superboy Connor are both suspects. They may both be controlled by Darkseid - of course, it's just a possibility."

"No, if Superboy Connor joined your team after Billy's father had stolen Shazam's power, then he should not be a suspect." Atrocitus said.

"What if Darkseid wants you to think so?" Chen Tao glanced at him: "Using an exposed spy Supergirl Kara to cover up Superboy Connor? So to be safe, I have to hide both of them. And why do you think I left them alone on Earth? From just now until now, I have been monitoring them, which is a test in itself." "Then the Kryptonian dog who was first put under your command is more suspicious..." "So I let Superdog Xiao Krypton guard the Fortress of Solitude in the Arctic, the spaceship of Superman." Chen Tao said: "Clark Kent himself handed over the highest authority of the spaceship to me, and I modified it, secretly placing tons of kryptonite and red sun weapons against Kryptonians in it."

"Do you believe that if the dog moves a little bit, the Fortress of Solitude will immediately become its grave once the kryptonite door is closed? The kryptonite door is usually hidden and will not appear. Normal visitors can only see an ordinary door, but they will be caught in the trap at a critical moment." Chen Tao said: "Only people need me to take the trouble to identify them. I am always ready to kill animals that are not human to eliminate the danger." Atrocitus shrank his neck when he heard this. Is this really something a human can do? "So your mission is to pretend to be imprisoned by me on Ismote, become a prisoner again, and completely stop intervening in the disputes on Earth." Chen Tao said: "Whether it is Superboy or Supergirl, or Sinestro and Hal, you will be in this state." Chen Tao synchronized the Green Lantern Batman [Dark Knight] in front of Atrocitus, and then continued: "You have to hide the Red Lantern Central Energy Battery underground. I will tamper with Sinestro and Hal's rings. If they must come to see if you are really imprisoned, the Green Lantern Ring will not scan the Red Lantern Battery underground. Of course, the first priority is that I influence them not to come to see you. The previous one is only a backup plan." Chen Tao said: "And you who are hiding will become a sharp blade that pierces the situation at a critical moment!" ... ... ... ... ... More than 10 minutes later, Atrocitus, who cooperated with Batman to perform the skit "Atrocitus was re-imprisoned on Ismote", sat in front of the Red Lantern Central Energy Battery he had cast. The string of words Batman just said to him was not just telling him the plan for no reason, it was a display of strength and deterrence.

Atrocitus knew that Batman had said so much, but there was only one subtext:

If you still want to lose your conscience and think that it is easier to get William Hand by following the meditation mite, and want to backstab me, the old bat, you should consider whether you are also defended by me like my other teammates, and whether you will lose miserably in the end?

Although Atrocitus himself did not want to continue to follow the meditation mite, he had completely received Batman's subtext.

"Really..."

Atrocitus touched the red light battery, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his red-faced and fanged face:

"The blood bull is locked in this battery... This thing seems to be very important to Batman's plan. He really left me alone with this thing? He trusts me so much?"

"Hiss... He won't have any back-up plan, right?"

Forget it.

Atrocitus shook his head. Anyway, he had never thought of betrayal. Batman could have kept a backup plan. Anyway, his target was only William Hand. As long as his goal could be satisfied, it would be fine.

All for a just cause!

…

…

…

And far away on Earth…

Half of Chen Tao's head turned into the hideous appearance of [Red Light Batman Battocitus]. Through thousands of mountains and rivers, he used the Red Light Ring and the connection established by the nanorobots in the central energy battery using the metal spirit magic to silently monitor Atrocitus standing in front of the Red Light Battery.

Well…

This guy just stood in front of the battery for a while.

He didn't want to destroy the battery and release the blood-slaughtering bull.

He didn't want to usurp the power of the blood-slaughtering bull.

He didn't want to contact the meditation mite to betray himself.

Well…

Then why did he stand in front of the battery for no reason? You made me think you were going to stab me in the back. Do you know that this can easily cause misunderstandings?

Chen Tao cursed in his heart and hurriedly dispersed the energy-storing magic cannon that had been prepared in the magic circle that had been engraved in the battery in advance.

If Atrocitus really wanted to do something just now, this shot would have been fired, and if he was caught off guard, he would definitely have blown up half of his opponent's body, so that he could hold on until Chen Tao arrived to quell the rebellion.

"Really, one by one. If you don't want to do something bad, don't make moves that will cause misunderstandings..."
