Chapter 375 Behind the Glory is a Loneliness
Oh my goodness, friends.
Oh my goodness.
Think of those golden years.
Although he had been on Earth for a short time, sometimes Sinestro would often think that many things were so similar.
Those heroes on Earth. Barry Allen, Hal Jordan, Billy Batson (Shazam).
They followed in Batman's footsteps, fighting evil, upholding justice, and saving the world...
Just as he once chased Abin Su.
He once admired Abin Su so much that he even fell in love with Abin Su's sister, Arlene Su.
He firmly believed that his heart was like a mirror and that everything he did was just. He never denied that he was a powerful force, but he used power to suppress all evil. Although his rule annihilated personal free will, it was a necessary evil and an inevitable way to achieve absolute justice.
"...No! You have twisted yourself into your dirty, ridiculous, absolutely righteous puppet. That is not justice at all, but tyranny..."
"...Should he die for stealing? You didn't judge him at all. You were just killing people, killing people wantonly..."
"...You simply relied on force to suppress the war. If you killed everyone, there would be no war, right? Ridiculous, you murderous executioner..."
"...And that matter...It was just a dispute over interests, a dispute over interests. How dare you use your will to decide right and wrong?"
"Everyone is crawling at your feet! Should I sing your praises? You used brute force to change our social structure and turned the republic into a strongman regime. And that time with the spaceship, you sacrificed about 3,000 innocent people!"
"If I don't send those 3,000 people to die, the virus will be brought back to our planet by their spaceship, and then it won't be 3,000 people who will die!"
Sinestro loudly refuted his wife. In the fierce quarrel that lasted for 4 hours, even the leader of the Yellow Lantern Corps felt exhausted.
He finally lost control. He could no longer bear his wife's endless revisiting of the past for 4 hours. He lost control for the first time in 4 hours. He grabbed Arlene Su's collar and lifted her up.
Sinestro was a burly man, and his wife was half a head shorter than him.
"Tell me, what can I do?"
He was so powerful that he pinched Arlene Su. Even without using the yellow light of the lantern ring, the Lord of the Legion could strangle a giant alien tiger with only one eye with his bare hands, and even confront Atrocitus holding the cosmic magic stick. When he was angry, Arlene Su had no power to resist.
But Abin Su's sister did not scream. She raised her swan-like neck and looked at her husband stubbornly with a tearful expression.
Then tears flowed from her eyes, and those tears hurt Sinestro, causing great pain to this powerful man.
He put his wife down. Then he took a deep breath, and his face showed an undisguised expression of sadness.
"You will never agree with everything I do, right? Everything I have done for my hometown, my most beloved hometown, Koruga."
He asked slowly, slowly.
"You are my family, the one I love most. But you will never support me, right?"
Arlene Su took two steps back.
She had never seen Sinestro look so sad, at least she hadn't seen it for a long time since they got married.
So Arlene Su was slightly dazed, but in the end, she still said coldly: "Never." Tick-tock. Arlene Su widened her eyes in surprise. She saw a crystal teardrop falling on the ground, and she could hardly tell whether it was Sinestro's tear or dew dripping from the ceiling of the cell. But all this was unimportant, Sinestro stood up. The last trace of weakness faded from the face of the Lord of the Yellow Lantern Corps. Arlene Su raised her head tremblingly and looked at this familiar yet strange husband. "Amon Su." The Lord of the Yellow Lantern Corps called his servants coldly with his almost frozen voice. "Put Arlene Su back in custody and make sure she doesn't commit suicide." "Remove all preferential treatment for Arlene Su. Bedding, cell, put her where she really belongs." Amon Su was surprised: "But, Lord Sinestro, my aunt..." Amon Su knew very well what the Sinestro Corps would do to opponents. For those opponents who were not killed directly for various reasons, the torture they suffered in the cage would make people feel that death is also a kind of relief.
Does Sinestro really want to torture his wife?
"There is no aunt or my wife here, Amon. There are only opponents of the Sinestro Corps."
Sinestro walked in front of his wife and looked down at her: "I didn't execute Alinsu on the spot because she had made outstanding contributions to Koruga and was once a relative of Abinsu."
He turned his head and looked at Amonsu: "Follow my orders."
Then he paused slightly and emphasized: "When executing Alinsu, all prisoners of the Sinestro Corps must see it. Let every prisoner who opposes me know that Alinsu has broken with me."
Then he paused and added:
"I want everyone to know, even my wife..."
"You can't disobey the orders of the Sinestro Corps."
"Uncle..."
"Don't make me repeat it a second time."
"Yes."
Amon Su lowered his head.
Then Sinestro never looked at Alinsu again. He walked away from the prison with heavy steps, almost escaping.
Behind him, his beloved was cursing hysterically.
Sinestro opened his hands, and the yellow energy wrapped around him, taking him to the sky.
He pulled his body up little by little, and the prison under his feet began to gradually become smaller. At this time, he appeared on a mobile war fortress, and distributed on this fortress were countless densely packed members of the Yellow Lantern Corps.
"Long live Sinestro!"
When they saw Sinestro flying over their heads, they suddenly burst into thunderous cheers.
Then, like a domino, cheers spread across the entire war fortress. All kinds of evil villains, rapists, killers, robbers, scum...
At this moment, they were all shouting the same name:
"Long live the Sinestro Corps! Long live! Long live!
"Long live!"
Sinestro looked up at the universe far away from the war fortress, where the huge green planet was being attacked by countless tiny yellow spots.
So he murmured softly. The sound was amplified by the yellow light ring and resounded throughout the war fortress:
"Sinestro Corps..."
"I give my orders here."
He slowly raised his hand and pointed to the planet that was still resisting.
"I order you to capture the OA planet - for me, for the new order of the universe!"
"The general attack... starts now!"
"Long live! Long live! Long live! "
Sinestro stood in the void with his hands behind his back, watching countless members of the Sinestro Corps who surrendered to him take off with yellow light all over their bodies, rushing towards the OA planet like a tide.
At this moment, the glory belongs to Sinestro.
…
…
…
Chen Tao returned to the Bat Cave at 3:00 in the morning.
Chen Tao, who has almost transformed his brain into a bat computer, no longer needs to sleep.
Before this, he slept at least 5 hours a day. The main reason for this is that Luther and Lucius, the top scientists, are still human after all, and it is impossible for them to accompany him. Immortal cultivation;
As the spokesperson of all things green, Poison Ivy Ivy can absorb light energy through photosynthesis instead of eating, but after all, she is still a human being. Even if she doesn't eat, she can't not sleep;
Not to mention the members of the Justice League like Flash Barry who have to work and be superheroes during the day. They need sleep, and Chen Tao can't disturb them.
It may be a good choice to use this time to study the gorilla Grodd and others, but Grodd and others have to accept Luthor's call at any time during the day. If Grodd is not allowed to rest at night, Chen Tao is worried that he will die.
So when everyone is sleeping , Chen Tao could only force himself to let go of the sense of crisis that was like a lump in his throat at that time, and tried to lie on the bed and fall asleep peacefully, skipping time with one click.
But now, Chen Tao no longer has this mood.
He hasn't been back to the Batcave for a while, and it's not just because of being busy...
Forget it.
Chen Tao shook his head. It was so late, the old butler Alfred should have rested, he just needed to finish his work quietly, and then quietly leave.
He came back this time just to back up some files on the Batcomputer, some things he never liked to let others do. The Batcomputer has almost been used by him with gold. The power of the spirit of the belonging is infused. No one can steal anything on this computer, but the computer can show what is needed to others at the right time. Of course, Chen Tao always keeps the really important things in his mind, not on the computer. So he only needs to open the door, and then... Huh? ? ? ! With a bang, Chen Tao opened the door and saw the old butler Alfred wearing pajamas, sitting upright in the seat at the door of the Bat Cave Hall. Although it was already early in the morning, the old butler was energetic and did not feel tired at all. "..." "Alfred, why are you here? "It's too late to escape now. Chen Tao couldn't help but regret why he didn't use the perspective of the speed bullet to observe whether there was anyone behind before entering the door. This was ultimately caused by his lack of vigilance. The Bat Cave was his lair. He naturally regarded this place as a shelter. If someone ambushed him here, just like the comic "Knightfall" used Bane's method, it would cause unexpected consequences... Chen Tao suddenly cut off his divergent thinking. Now is not the time to think about these. He took two steps back and watched Alfred approach. "Master Bruce Wayne, are you going to take the initiative to save the alien planet OA? I am surprised that I didn't know about this matter, but someone else in the Justice League told me. "Chen Tao was sweating profusely. The old butler Alfred kindly helped Chen Tao to sit down next to him, and then continued: "I never knew that the Justice League's business has expanded to the entire universe. It's not enough to manage the earth. Now the Justice League has become the protector of the entire universe.
I never dreamed of this. God, I used to think that shooting at others with a submachine gun on the battlefield was the craziest thing I had ever done in my life. But now, alien civilization, space police? Times are changing so fast. "
Chen Tao dug his toes into the ground.
"It's just that I find it a little strange, why do you always say you want to retire, but now your business scope is getting wider and wider? It's not enough to manage the earth, but you also have to manage alien planets?"
Chen Tao was speechless.
"Then I won't say anything else. I just want to ask a question, Master, when can we settle in Fiji?"
"After solving the problem of Planet OA?"
"I..."
"Actually, after so long, Master Bruce, I have always had a question in my mind. Are you really going to retire?"
The old butler pressed on: "Tell me, you are making one plan after another, constantly trying to deal with those real dangers, desperately grabbing power and increasing your strength. Is it really for retirement? Or are you enjoying it?"
"Answer me. "
"Do you enjoy it? Do you get a sense of accomplishment from it? Do you feel the value of self-realization?"
"Answer me."
"I..."
Chen Tao almost couldn't stand it.
"Answer me. You've worked so hard and put so much effort into it. Are you really doing all this just for retirement?"
When Chen Tao was about to run away, he heard the old butler's voice.
"But...it doesn't matter." The old butler paused, and he was sure of something.
He was a little sad, but also a little relieved, but he seemed to have made some resolutions.
"It doesn't matter, Master Bruce. I hope you know that...no matter what decision you make. Whether you retire or not. "
"No matter what decision you make in the end. "
"I will always support you. "
"I understand your difficulties, Master Bruce, and I know the helplessness behind your glory. "
"This world can't do without you. I know you shoulder too much. "Alfred said sincerely:
"Those burdens pushed you forward, just like Master Thomas was once pushed to become the person who reformed Gotham."
"Therefore, you don't need to feel guilty about this, guilty for not fulfilling your promise to me. I can wait, Master Bruce."
"I just hope..."
"You can go back to the Bat Cave as often as before..."
"At least let me help you like before, even if it's making a bat sandwich, preparing breakfast..."
"Instead of leaving me powerless."
"So please, let me do something for you..."
The old butler hugged Batman:
"My Bruce..."
"Please. "
