Chapter 399 The Black Death Emperor's Call! I Will Never Become a Laughing Bat

Chen Tao is waiting.

Unless necessary, he actually doesn't want the Parallax Monster to possess him.

When facing Darkseid, Chen Tao had a plan that was abandoned, which was to absorb the blood-slaughtering bull into his body and use the power of the blood-slaughtering bull to pry himself into the powerful Batman to fight against Darkseid.

But this dangerous plan was abandoned after he discovered Superboy-Prime. Compared with forcing Darkseid to fight with him, the danger of absorbing the light beast into the body is too great. This danger is not for Chen Tao himself, but for everyone except Chen Tao.

The worst problem of absorbing the light beast is that the willpower will be eroded by the light beast. Even Hal Jordan, who is known as the DC with the strongest willpower, has been controlled by the Parallax Monster. You know, he is the one who forged the Green Lantern Ring with his bare hands. Before he really absorbed it, Chen Tao didn't know what would happen, and he was not sure whether his preparations would be effective.

Hal Jordan showed a sunny and cheerful smile after absorbing the Parallax Monster, and Batman also showed a sunny and cheerful smile after absorbing the Joker's poison gas. Parallax Hal caused a multiverse crisis (DC event "Zero Hour") and the same is true for the Laughing Bat. (DC event "Dark Nights Metal" and the sequel "Death Metal")

So the Laughing Bat ≈ Parallax Hal, and the Parallax Batman is similar.

Making a living in the dark universe, Chen Tao has always been worried that he will accidentally lose himself and become one of the dark universe Batman's thugs summoned by the Laughing Bat from the dark multiverse.

So there are some things that I can't do just because I think I have a high probability of success. If something goes wrong, there will be no place to cry.

Prime Superboy seems to be unaffected by the Blood Slaughter Bull because he is Prime Superboy. But even so, Prime Superboy, who is possessed by the Blood Slaughter Bull, still did many things that he would not do when he was calm in a rage, such as beating Darkseid.

If Superboy Prime calmed down a bit, he would not just catch Darkseid and beat him, but beat everyone present to death equally.

In the entire history of DC comics, there is only one creature who successfully controlled the Parallax Monster and did not let the other party's will dominate his body.

That is Sinestro!

If you want to put the Parallax Monster in your body, at least synchronize the Sinestro version of Batman Batman before considering it.

Chen Tao subconsciously squinted his eyes and glanced at Sinestro in the green light state with ill intent, which made the other party shudder.

Sinestro:?

But Chen Tao quickly retracted his gaze.

A long time ago, when Chen Tao found out that his teammates died suddenly for the first time and he could get the synchronized Batman, Chen Tao never thought of actively sacrificing his teammates in exchange for his own strength, but chose to use his brain and find a way to solve the problem himself.

Sometimes...

Chen Tao would feel that the Alfred Protocol was full of malice.

Although American comic fans often joke that Batman has a set of methods for his teammates, that is just a necessary preparation for Batman to prevent his teammates from falling.

Even in the big event "Babel" (Note: the big event is that the Ninja Master stole Batman's plan to fight against the Justice League, and then used Batman's plan to defeat the entire Justice League), the Ninja Master Lei Xiaoaogu's almost deadly plans for the league members were also a magical modification of Batman's plan. Batman's own plan has always been to subdue his teammates, not to kill them.

No matter what the circumstances, Batman will not kill his teammates for anything.

Which Batman will deliberately kill his teammates?

The Laughing Bat.

At least a twisted Batman from a dark multiverse.

That is exactly what the Alfred Protocol has been protecting and preventing Chen Tao from becoming.

But if... let's look at it from another perspective. If Chen Tao chooses to deliberately murder his teammates to strengthen himself, then what will the Alfred Protocol... turn him into?

Is there another evil thing trying to influence the Alfred Protocol to turn Chen Tao into something worse, worse, and more corrupt?

And such intentions were stopped by some more positive, brighter, and better forces, so the Alfred Protocol forced him to protect him again and again, so that he would not become the "Laughing Bat?"

So for Chen Tao, deliberately letting Sinestro die tragically or deliberately driving him crazy and causing him to fail are things he would never do, at least not when they are still teammates.

He would rather leave the strategic idea of ​​absorbing the light beast into the body in the Batcomputer and never break some bottom lines...

Chen Tao thought that his bottom line was already very low.

He admitted.

But there are some things...

Once you do it...you will lose yourself.

The retirement life he wants is a luxury car in Fiji, sunshine, beaches, and all kinds of tourists.

It is definitely not like those Batmans in the dark multiverse, who become the last survivor and destroyer of the entire universe in a dead ruin.

So Chen Tao is waiting.

He is waiting for Mongo to react.

He believed that Mongo would never let the Parallax Monster fall into his arms. Even though the Parallax Monster now came over with a look of "Brother, you smell so good", Mongo would never let himself be bullied.

What method would he use to try to regain control of the Parallax Monster? Either from Lantern No. 1 or from Kalonna. Since he dared to release the Parallax Monster, he must have a way to take it away. Otherwise, for Mongo, this would be to make wedding clothes for others. He would not be so stupid.

And more importantly...

Chen Tao did not turn his head to look at Sinestro.

Was Sinestro really controlled by the Green Lantern? Was he really so easily manipulated by Lantern No. 1?

Chen Tao did not quite believe it. Sinestro could even conquer the Parallax Monster with willpower. Although there was indeed a dark history in the comics where he capsized in the gutter and was controlled by the Green Lantern, that was only the first kill.

And there is another very important reason:

The Green Lantern Tribe was secretly established by Abinsu, and Abinsu was Sinestro's teacher and brother-in-law.

In the original comic history, Sinestro never showed that he had received any legacy of the Green Lantern Tribe or any related hints from Abinsu, but it does not mean that Abinsu never left anything for Sinestro... However, Abinsu always knew that he was going to die due to the prophecy of Atrocitus... He must have thought about entrusting the Green Lantern Tribe to a trustworthy person after his death. In the original comic history, Sinestro had not had time to investigate the Green Lantern Tribe established by Abinsu, and was sued by Hal Jordan to OA, and then he was arrested on the spot and imprisoned in the Green Lantern Central Energy Battery, and then started the main storyline of "forming the Yellow Lantern Corps". But now due to the influence of Chen Tao, the first Lantern, Kalonna... These old things that should have been hiding in the corners of the gutter and moldy have jumped out. Who said that Sinestro would not be aware of what Abinsu had done? Especially, Lantern No. 1 flirted with Mongo and allied with Sinestro, and directly participated in the transformation of the Green Lantern Ring. Could it be that Sinestro really knew nothing about Lantern No. 1's double-faced behavior?

So, Chen Tao was waiting. Waiting for Mongo to try to forcibly drag away the Parallax Monster, waiting for Sinestro to launch his own preparations to take away the Parallax Monster, and then he took action at the last minute and sealed the Parallax Monster again with one final blow...

If it really doesn't work...

The Green Lantern Central Energy Battery is still lying quietly in the Red of All Living Things. Killer Croc had stolen this precious treasure before.

In addition to the Parallax Monster, there is an even more dangerous weapon in the Green Lantern Central Energy Battery...

The Lantern Beast of the Green Lantern Group, the living embodiment of willpower...

Ion Shark.

At this moment, Bane sat next to the Green Lantern Central Energy Battery like an old monk in meditation. Chen Tao deliberately did not let Bane participate in any battles from the beginning, but stayed there, waiting for this moment.

Therefore, no matter how things develop in the end, unless Sinestro gives Chen Tao a "suddenly like" performance and then dies on the spot, it will not be too out of control for Chen Tao.

But can Sinestro die?

Impossible.

Chen Tao still has some confidence in the villains.

In the dark multiverse, villains have their own positive buff of "increasing the success rate of doing things", which makes them more dangerous and more reliable than heroes.

So soon, as expected, when the yellow fear energy of the parallax monster began to entangle Chen Tao's body, Mongo could no longer sit still.

"You dare!"

With the new round of cursing from the blue ghost mask of Caronna on his half face, and the somewhat angry expression on the blurred face of the first Lantern drawn by the power ring using the green lantern ring not far away, soon, strands of death energy from the Black Death Emperor gathered on Mongo's body.

Although it was in the pre-Blackest Night era before the Black Lantern Ring was born, just like the so-called Green Lantern Ring was just a weapon that used the green will energy in the emotional spectrum, the so-called Black Lantern Ring was just a carrier that used the black lantern energy.

The fact that the Black Lantern Ring had not yet been forged did not mean that the power of the Black Death Emperor could not be projected to Mongo in large quantities. It was just that it was impossible to create a creature like the Black Lantern Corpse that was purely controlled by the Black Death Emperor. Just as the Guardians of the Universe could use the green will energy to fight long before the birth of the Green Lantern Ring.

Therefore, at this moment, black chains flew out from Mongo's body, quickly wrapped around the body of the Parallax Monster, strangling the huge yellow monster and making it roar.

This was not the yellow iron chain that Sinestro had previously materialized using the Yellow Lantern Ring, but a willpower chain that was condensed in a special way and had some strange effects specifically targeting the Lantern Beasts. However, at this time, the chain was filled with a large amount of the Black Death Emperor's death power, which increased its power several times.

Chen Tao looked familiar at this time. This...wasn't it Caronna's trick?

In the big event "Green Lantern War", Caronna had to escape from the cage and lead the seven colorful lantern beasts back to the hometown of OA Star. When he killed his colleagues, the little blue men of the universe guardian, the chains of green will energy were put around the necks of the lantern beasts. Caronna held them in his hands like dogs.

Now in Mongo's hands, these chains have changed color and achieved the same effect.

"Damn it!"

Lantern No. 1, who controlled the power ring, reacted immediately. He immediately controlled the power ring and flew towards the parallax monster with a scream of "No, brother ring--".

"Be obedient!"

The Power Ring resisted too violently, and he was too timid, so the First Lantern could only control the hand with the ring and punch himself.

After using the Ring Fist, the Power Ring fainted and stopped talking.

Then the First Lantern controlled the body of the Power Ring and flew to the side of the chain:

"Let me see..."

The unconscious Power Ring stretched out his hand under his control, and then some green veins that branched like meridians spread out from the power ring on the hand of the Power Ring.

Chen Tao recognized those things, and they looked similar to the meridian network creations containing the seven-color emotional spectrum used by the First Lantern in the comic "The Fury of the First Lantern", but now, these meridian branch lines are all green, only the green of will, and no other colors.

"I can't do anything..."

The First Lantern tried to use his own method to block Mongo's behavior.

However, although the First Lantern mastered the emotional spectrum, only the Black Lantern was completely the domain of the Black Death Emperor.

Those chains made of the power of the Black Death Emperor and made by Karona's means were indestructible to Lantern No. 1... at least in his current situation.

So he could only let his green meridian network wrap around the body of the Parallax Monster and try to pull him back, but the Parallax Monster was still controlled and kept being pulled towards Mongo.

For a moment, the field actually showed a weird tug-of-war state, and it was completely deadlocked.

Chen Tao just stood there quietly, doing nothing, letting Mongo pull the roaring Parallax Monster back, indifferent like a cold-blooded emperor who saw his favorite concubine being dragged into the cold palace by eunuchs.

And Sinestro played the role of a pitiful sow for a long time, and after seeing that Batman was indifferent, he finally couldn't pretend anymore.

He flew over expressionlessly and stood next to the Power Ring: "I'll help you."

This time he didn't say any nonsense about pity, and acted decisively, without even saying a word to Batman.

Sinestro also knew that no matter what happened between him and Batman, the Parallax Monster must not fall into Mongo's hands. This guy is no longer a pure living person. His current state is the enemy of all living creatures.

No matter how serious the dispute between him and Batman is, it is just an internal dispute between living creatures. In terms of their attitude towards the dead, they have the same position.

And...

More importantly, Batman does not seem to be so resistant to his proposal, which is also one of the key points that Sinestro considers. Even if the Parallax Monster is taken back, they can still discuss the specific content. But when facing Mongo, they have no room for negotiation. There is no other way except to take action.

With Sinestro's help, the green meridian network of Lantern No. 1 began to be mixed with yellow and cyan. Although it did not reach the level of the real body of Lantern No. 1 when it was resurrected, which contained a seven-color emotional spectrum, it still made the whole drag force a whole circle.

And Sinestro also turned his eyes to Batman at this time, which meant...

Brother, I have already taken action. Now you are still watching, is it appropriate?

So Chen Tao finally moved.

Not far away, the half-dead Death Storm, which had just spit out the Parallax Monster from the Death Storm Matrix, floated quietly in the universe, weak in the literal sense like a dry skeleton.

He originally planned to float quietly in the universe, and then quietly fly out of the battlefield to save his life, but soon he saw Batman's serious face appeared in front of him.

Then Batman smiled at him.

Death Storm saw Batman rub his hands shyly: "That... Dr. Stan. Didn't the Parallax Monster come out again? Maybe... I need your help."

Death Storm's face almost turned green.

Still coming?

However, before he could speak, his face and Batman's face changed at the same time.

Then Sinestro and Lantern No. 1 also changed their faces with horror, using the blurred faces drawn by the energy of the green light.

Because at this moment, a voice rang in everyone's ears. Just hearing this voice was like a basin of cold water poured from head to toe, and it was like hearing the sound of some large beast rubbing its teeth in the shadows in the darkest night.

"William Hand..."

Chen Tao turned his head and saw William Hand, who was protected by his green light energy not far away, turned his head to look at him in panic, his eyes full of panic and confusion.

Then the voice rang again:

"William..."

Crack, crack, crack, crack...

The seemingly indestructible green light protective cover actually fell apart in an instant with the sound of this voice, leaving William Hand alone like standing naked in the snow, facing the enemy in front of him.

He heard the voice whistling in the darkness and cold air:

"You belong to me."
