Chapter 407 Batman, also known as Little Sinestro
Chen Tao was very happy today.
He watched with satisfaction as Sinestro took out various props and rubbed the Cyborg on the ground - oh, although they were now in the outer space of the OA planet and were only affected by a small amount of gravity.
But look at the things Sinestro took out.
A kind of... Kryptonite energy gun? Shot at the part of the Cyborg that belonged to the Kryptonian, and immediately there were scorch marks.
There was also some kind of explosive specifically for the mechanical part of the Cyborg, which seemed to create some kind of static electricity, and also mixed with some data hacking effects.
Chen Tao didn't understand how this was done. He just roughly understood the effects of those things through the ability of the Metal Spirit. It seemed to be the technology of the Korga planet, but it was enough to satisfy him.
Chen Tao was sure that although Sinestro didn't take it out at this time, if he confronted him head-on, Sinestro would definitely be able to take out a lot of props to deal with him like he was facing the Cyborg now, or at least have plans and related preparations that could restrain himself to a certain extent.
This is very good, very good!
As we mentioned, Chen Tao was very happy, quite happy.
Sinestro was a good learner, scheming and making plans before taking action, which was exactly what Chen Tao had been looking for!
Oh, of course, Chen Tao did not intend to kick Hal Jordan out of the table of "candidates for the successor to the leader of the Justice League" that he listed, but he saw some characteristics in Sinestro that the current members of the Justice League did not have:
Always be on guard against their teammates.
However, Chen Tao quickly took his attention back from Sinestro.
Mongo's state was a little wrong.
He did not seem to be in a hurry at all. Although he looked upset about not being able to break through Batman's blockade, Chen Tao could feel that Mongo must have a lot of tricks that he had not used.
Now the Cyborg Superman was retreating step by step under Sinestro's attack. If this was really a result that Mongo could not accept, he would have started to get anxious and tried to quickly defeat himself and then rush to help the Cyborg Superman.
But no, not at all.
Chen Tao dodged the attack of Mongo, whose half face had been completely rotten. He almost wanted to laugh at the opponent's attack.
No way, are you kidding? Bite me?
Is this your fight?
Even though Mongo had lost the ability to control the yellow lantern ring, he had to grow something like fly wings from his back to help him break free from the gravity of the OA star below, and his attack method became a simple attack.
But Chen Tao, who had read the comics, could help Mongo come up with seven or eight ways to deal with himself through the attack methods of the members of the Black of Decay in the comic "The Advent of the Corrupted Country", and each one was different.
Chen Tao also controlled a part of the Black of Decay, a very, very, very small part, which was negligible compared to the control of the Red of All Living Things and the Green of All Things.
The earliest research on these decaying blacks came from the experiments of Poison Ivy Ivy on Batman's parents who were manipulated by Bane. Later, after Bane was trapped by Chen Tao in the name of his brothers, Bane personally buried Martha and Thomas with a look of utter dejection, and participated in Poison Ivy's experiments on their behalf.
Under the potion made and improved by Poison Ivy many times, although it is said that "it is less than red and green", in fact, the decaying black power in Chen Tao's body is already considerable.
Even if Chen Tao has not undergone special training and only uses the decaying black, he can burst out a very deterrent attack, and Mongo, an opponent who has mastered the decaying black ten times or a hundred times more than him, can only open his mouth and bite people now?
What about your ability to taint?
How about your domain expansion?
Shouldn't the real decaying black be corrosive and corrosive like a thorn in the flesh, which cannot be shaken off or escaped?
Mongo was acting, and Chen Tao was happy to play along with him, but the point was that his performance would never be without purpose.
Chen Tao glanced at Sinestro from the corner of his eye.
It was obvious that Mongo's solution was a typical one, just like a certain bald guy.
For him, Sinestro, who was also a member of the Yellow Lantern Corps, was obviously a more difficult opponent, so he needed to, damn it——
A large number of insect limbs suddenly burst out from Mongo's back and stabbed at Chen Tao fiercely, which scared him.
He was already familiar with Mongo's attack rhythm before, and this sudden attack was indeed a bit sinister.
Those insect limbs contained the corrupt black power that had been injected with Mongo's will, becoming a pollution source with extremely personal will characteristics. If you were accidentally stabbed, you would definitely not end up well.
Chen Tao was forced to synchronize with the Red Death instantly, and then he dodged in the high-speed movement in microseconds, and then repelled Mongo with the heat vision of the high-speed bullet.
He saw the regretful expression on Mengge's rotten face with his gums exposed, and his face turned a little pale. He couldn't help but curse himself for being distracted just now.
Mengge's corrupt black power even began to corrode his nanorobots full of metal spirit power. Even metal life will one day usher in its own decay and decomposition death. This made Chen Tao cautious and forced him to change his bad habit of emitting nanorobots for no reason.
However, in this simple fight, neither he nor Mongo tried their best. The simple fight just now was just a test between the two sides.
For Mongo, whether he could attack and injure himself was not the most important thing. The most important thing was...
Chen Tao did not turn his head. He focused on Mongo, but still secretly thought of Sinestro.
Mongo must have prepared a trump card specifically for Sinestro to send him to hell.
And what exactly is it...
Chen Tao went over everything that Mongo could access in his mind, and then went over his own preparations.
The only thing that Mongo has never shown so far is probably the mind-controlled [Black Mercy].
And if he wants to release this thing to Sinestro, then he must...
There must be someone who may rebel.
This person must be trusted enough by Sinestro that when he approaches Sinestro, Sinestro will not be on guard against him at all.
In this way, he can stab Sinestro's back with the Death Blade at the critical moment and make the final decision.
The existence of this member in the Yellow Lantern Corps is probably also very obvious...
Chen Tao's thinking mode is different from that of normal people. Normal people deduce the results through inference, while Chen Tao uses his experience of reading comics for so many years in his previous life, and the information in the comics to think about the worst result, and then reverse the process through this worst result.
This is something he can do.
Just now, he had asked Killer Croc to take Arlene Su back to the Red of All Living Things. In the chaotic battlefield, it is too dangerous for Sinestro's weak spot to jump around.
Sinestro may have many plans, and even Chen Tao is not very clear about his plans, but the only thing he knows very well is that the first thing he has to do is to protect Arlene Su's safety.
If Arlene Su gets into trouble, no matter how many plans Sinestro has, they will collapse along with his mentality, and the scene will be really ugly. Although there have been relevant plans, Chen Tao does not want to release the Ion Shark at all.
What "choice of will", "choice of fear", "choice of anger", Chen Tao has always hated this kind of idealistic choice. In his opinion, one is one, two is two, choice is choice, whether the conditions can be met or not, if they are met, then it is passed. This ambiguous choice condition is the thing that makes him feel the least secure.
What if the Ion Shark does not choose the object he prepared, but slips away directly?
Isn't this funny?
He distractedly observed the battlefield below. Those annihilator robots had already seemed a little decadent after being joined by Atrocitus and the ventriloquist, but now, the faces of those robots showed rotten death, which was really indescribable. Chen Tao was sure that this thing was definitely not a simple black decay. After all, in "The Corruption Kingdom", the black decay showed that it could not control metal at all, but now these annihilators mixed with the power of the black decay were obviously not the case at all.
What's worse is that the power of the Black of Decay has actually begun to spread to the Yellow Lanterns. Chen Tao has seen some of the dead bodies begin to do sit-ups, although the power contained in these bodies is still very weak, so they can only barely get up. No one dares to say what will happen next.
But the problem is not big now. Bane is suppressing these resurrected Green Lanterns below. He is a master of manipulating the Black of Decay. It is a bit of a trick to teach these newly resurrected corpses a lesson. It is still very easy for the time being.
"Batman!" Chen Tao withdrew his attention from below, and then frowned. He heard Killer Croc's voice connecting with him through the Red of All Living Things: "We are in trouble here."
"What's the matter?"
Chen Tao asked.
"We were found by the Red of All Living Things on a planet in the surrounding sector. The Totem Council on their planet sent some people from the Red of All Living Things Army."
The Red of All Living Things has never been a power unique to the earth. Other planets also have their own Red of All Living Things and other elemental powers.
Chen Tao asked everyone to hide in the Red of All Living Things, and from time to time he asked Killer Croc to open and close the Red of All Living Things like opening a sack. It was natural to attract members of the Red of All Living Things from the surrounding planets.
After all, they were not as impatient as the Totem Council on Earth who were plowed by Chen Tao. This behavior of treating the Red of All Living Things as a back garden was itself a blasphemy to them.
"I'll let Bane help you." Chen Tao said.
He sent a message to Bane, and then told Killer Croc: "Protect Sinestro's wife and William Hand. Bane will not show up immediately after entering the Red of All Beings. The black power of corruption on him is still too eye-catching. Focus on negotiations, don't act rashly, if you really act..." "Use nuclear warheads to blow them up. The stuff is ready, just behind the spaceship we drove over, Batman. But Amanda Waller told us that this thing is just lent to us, it's best to bring it back." "I asked her for the nuclear warhead just to blow it up, there's nothing to save." Chen Tao said: "But be careful, run if you find something wrong. I always feel that Mongo will not let Sinestro's wife go so easily. If I were Mongo, I would directly create an island of corruption here."
(Note: The Island of Decay, the invasion of the Black of Decay into the Red of All Living Beings is specifically manifested as a large black area of Black of Decay rotting out on the red Red of All Living Beings, like islands one by one, eroding the Red of All Living Beings.)
In short, Chen Tao took a deep breath. He knew that Sinestro must have a way to deal with Mongo, but now he needed to confirm one thing:
That is, to what extent Sinestro knew about Mongo, and whether he knew the existence and power of [Black Mercy].
He raised his finger and used the yellow light ring to contact Sinestro.
"Sinestro." He whispered, "Sinestro, can you hear me?" "Can you handle it?" He whispered, "Amon Su beside you is very likely to be a spy of Mongo, do you know this?" "And Black Mercy, you know what this is, it is actually..." "Okay, stop talking." Chen Tao kept talking, Sinestro didn't want to pay attention to him, but was forced to answer in the end: "I know all this." "Don't treat me like a fool!" Chen Tao was relieved when he heard it. Well, it seems that you, Sinestro, are well prepared and have superb skills. I, the old bat, only need to cheer on the side and wait for good news. Great!
