Chapter 593 Lantern No. 1: The Man from the Future (This chapter is densely packed with information
This is Earth 1.
In other universes that once existed and were later reshaped - such as Earth 3, the Crime Syndicate already existed during Crisis on Infinite Earths, but was repeatedly reshaped as the universe restarted.
But Earth 1 is different. This universe was born after Doctor Manhattan inspired the Flash Barry Allen to miss his mother and manipulated him to restart the entire multiverse and create the New 52.
Compared with other parallel universes, this universe is younger and weaker. In the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Multiverse, it is even clearly stated that this universe has not even completely solidified reality.
Although as the New Fifty-Two period gradually comes to an end, the rebirth period has officially arrived marked by the return of the second generation Flash Wally from the Speed Force, and Earth 1 has gradually solidified, but his degree of "solidification" is after all I don’t know how much worse it is in other parallel universes. Its plasticity is far stronger than other universes.
And this unsolidification brings opportunities. For some conspirators who need to do something with the plasticity of the future, this is the best base and hotbed...
For example, Lantern One.
At this time, in the vast universe of Earth 1, far away from the earth, a huge spaceship was quietly suspended.
This spaceship looks like a huge planet-level battle fortress in [War World].
I don’t know which universe had Mongo so lucky that he bumped into the Shadow Bane, Lantern No. 1, and a large group of the Third Legion who had just left the Black Death Emperor’s death realm.
What happened later was very complicated. In short, as far as the current situation is concerned, Mongo in that universe must have been very happy to hand over control of his lair, obey the fate, and happily commit suicide to meet the Black Death Emperor. Then let Lantern No. 1 and his group completely occupy the magpie's nest.
At this time, Shadow Firong was sitting in the main control room of this war fortress that had been modified by him, carefully considering the recent events.
Speaking of which, he and Firong were able to find this war fortress completely by accident. One of his members of the Third Legion seemed to have hit a certain space turbulence. In order to prevent himself from losing important combat power, Shadow Firong and No. 1 The Lantern accidentally passed through this space turbulence, accidentally fell into a parallel universe, and then collided with Mongo.
Before he died, Mengge desperately started the cosmic jump of War World. Originally, this action would cause War World to jump into the gap between parallel universes with all his enemies and be squeezed alive. However, something went wrong. Next, the shadow disaster took advantage of the situation and changed the space jump location of the war world.
In the end, War World sent them to Earth 1, which was the most suitable place to use as a base to help the original Lantern recover.
At this time, Lantern No. 1 is in the core of the war world. He is currently absorbing the energy of all emotional spectrums into the multiverse through the devices in the war world. This will help the resurrected Lantern No. 1 restore his The power of loss.
The members of the Third Legion possess a certain degree of wisdom. They found a way to communicate with the multiverse in Mongo's database, and using this technology, they transformed the entire war world.
To be honest, even Shadow Bane, the creator of these Third Legion members, doesn't quite understand how they are connected to the emotional spectrum of the multiverse.
But no matter what, these accidents made Shadow Firong's plan go more smoothly.
At this time, he was observing Batman's problem.
That Batman Dragon…
He frowned, his ghost was really lingering, and it wouldn't stop.
The other party is obviously a dangerous person. If possible, Shadow Bane hopes that he will disappear directly, but unfortunately, in order to achieve his goal, Batman Dragon must live until the incident begins.
Shadow Firong took a deep breath, and his eyes under the hood gradually became determined.
If someone lifts his hood at this time, they will find that the shadow in front of them looks like a living person, and it is not that Lantern No. 1 is made up of thin lines like colorful meridians at this time, but The appearance of a completely living person, without the slightest trace of being buried in the Death Realm of the Black Death Emperor.
What exactly changed him? And where did he come from?
"Do it again, I will never lose! Batman Dragon, Barbatos, Emperor Joker, Brainiac, Parallax Hal... Among all of them, I will be the final winner!"
Shadow Firong fell into memories.
The brutal battle in his memory... Countless parallel universes that were about to be destroyed were gathered together by Brainiac, and they fought against each other.
Endless world destruction, countless heroes and villains dying, a large amount of energy being released through this death and destruction...
Batman Dragon died tragically, and Superboy-Prime died tragically. In that bloody death battle, no one would be the final winner.
He lost, Lantern One lost, Bane lost.
He failed to seize that powerful power. He did not obtain that power to reshape the multiverse and save his mother.
He is in pain and wailing, but the result will not change anything, but the good thing is...
He has another chance. It is like a cicada swimming upstream on the long river of time. He swims back and forth again, and then reshapes history again before it completely dries up!
He knew he was playing dirty, he knew he was a cicada who cheated, but no matter what others said about him...
He would reverse the future! He wanted to make the last history go through the blueprint he had drawn... again!
He knew the future better than anyone else, even the Batman Dragon, and he would definitely succeed, he would never fail.
He would never believe what his mother said to him, he would never accept it all peacefully, no matter how much it cost him or others, he would take the risk.
So now...
Shadow Huo Rong looked at Batman on the screen, his eyes flashing with coldness.
As he knew in his previous life, Batman had put everything on the head of the Laughing Bat, and the Laughing Bat was almost eaten alive by Barbatos and all those who were seeking revenge on him in the entire dark multiverse.
In his memory, the scene of the unfortunate Laughing Bat being chased by countless strange monsters in the dark multiverse left a deep impression on him, but it was also through this incident that the power of the Batman Dragon expanded a little too much.
Not only did he form an alliance with a large number of powerful dark multiverses, he also really realized the dark multiverse resistance army he envisioned. This army escorted him at the final decisive moment, causing great trouble to the First Lantern, and in the end, the First Lantern failed to succeed and failed to compete, which was also the result of being targeted by the Dragon of Batman.
Of course, another important reason was that the First Lantern was alone at the time, without the help of Shadow Fear and the hundreds of members of the Third Legion he created, and the time to escape from the death domain of the Black Death Emperor was not now, but later.
He escaped too late. Compared with other opponents, the First Lantern at that time had no chance to compete, and even the power he was proud of was too weak, far less than Parallax Demon Hal and Prime Superboy.
If he wanted to achieve his goal, the First Lantern had to take a different approach.
Shadow Huo Rong narrowed his eyes. He still remembered that he had sacrificed Earth No. 1 directly...
The emotions of all intelligent life on Earth No. 1 were drained alive. Whether it was anger, fear or consciousness, they all disappeared from the hearts of all creatures in this universe. Lantern No. 1 gained a huge amount of energy, but the price was the destruction of Earth No. 1. There was no creature with a soul anymore.
This cosmic-level horror of mass extinction angered Batman Dragon. Lantern No. 1 understood why the other party desperately targeted him in the subsequent war, striving to kick him out first, and even prioritized him before Emperor Joker, but he had no choice at that time. If he didn't do that, he wouldn't get a ticket to participate in the war at all.
But now he has rescued Lantern No. 1 in advance and arrived at Earth No. 1 in advance, using the unstable future here to help Lantern No. 1 slowly absorb the emotional spectrum of the multiverse. Then in the final battle, Batman Dragon will not be stupid enough to desperately target Lantern No. 1 and may even join forces with him. Although this alliance will definitely fall apart in the end, it can at least ensure the survival ability of Lantern No. 1 in the early stage, at least not be besieged by others.
This alone is much better than the history before he came back.
But despite this, Batman Dragon is still a dangerous enemy.
Shadow Wrath thought slowly.
The opponent's plan is one set after another. Sometimes even Shadow Wrath, who came back from the future, can't figure out what Batman Dragon did secretly, why he seems to be flexible in every situation, and how he knows some very secret information.
If Shadow Wrath. Knowing how Batman Dragon knew it, he could also arrange means in advance to cut off Batman's information channel, but Batman looked like he knew it all at once, so how could he block it?
However, if possible, Shadow Fear would rather find a way to weaken Batman Dragon before they formed an alliance. Even if Batman Dragon was not the final winner of the battle in the future that had not yet completely solidified when he traveled through, he was still a strong competitor to seize those energies in the end.
It would be great if the opponent could be weakened in advance.
Shadow Fear thought so while he was about to take action.
Of course, he did not intend to weaken Batman Dragon's personal strength. Let alone whether it would be weakened or not, but after weakening the opponent, it would also damage his own interests after forming an alliance with the opponent.
So for Shadow Fear, he only needs to remove those helpers around Batman Dragon, those members of the Dark Multiverse Resistance, and then turn Batman Dragon into a lone man, so that even if he has great power, it will be difficult for him to get cover in that big melee, but he will not become too weak, which is simply a perfect target.
So if we want to stop Batman from recruiting members of his own legion, then first...
After hesitating for a long time, Shadow Fear finally made up his mind.
In fact, he knew from the bottom of his heart that if the Dark Multiverse Resistance was deleted from history due to his interference, it would likely cause a continuous butterfly effect, but this temptation was too great for him, coupled with the dangerous performance of Batman Dragon in the unsolidified history, he finally made a decision.
Shadow Fear was about to take action, but then the instrument panel suddenly lit up.
"What's going on?"
Shadow Huo Rong was a little surprised. He saw the power of Emperor Joker on the dashboard...
"Why would Emperor Joker's detection system sound an alarm at this time?"
"Wait, this guy's power is slowly recovering. Has he already begun to affect reality and look for troublemakers?"
Shadow Huo Rong stood up suddenly. This was inconsistent with his previous thoughts.
"No, no," he suddenly calmed down. "If we attack Batman at this time, there will be no one to suppress Emperor Joker. Damn, can't we? We can only look for the next opportunity..."
He gave up dejectedly: "Maybe I can't stop him, and I have to help him..."
He shook his head slowly: "No, we still have to find a way to weaken him, but Emperor Joker's power is too strong. How is it possible? Damn it, when did I unknowingly cause such a chain reaction, allowing Emperor Joker to increase his power in reality so much earlier than before?"
Shadow Huo Rong cursed in his heart. He repeatedly reviewed his actions and the consequences that might be caused in his mind, but he had no clue at all. But no matter how much he was scolded, he could only admit that the change of Emperor Joker had a lot to do with him.
"No, this is already much stronger than before. If Batman Dragon hadn't changed, he might have been defeated by Emperor Joker! Once he lost, many things caused by Batman Dragon would be wiped out, and then what happened next would be a huge deviation from the future I knew before, and my advantage of foresight would disappear... Damn it, I really have to help him! At least I have to help him until Emperor Joker is solved and he is completely kicked out!"
Shadow Fear finally made a decision based on his own thoughts and wisdom. This stage was completely from Shadow Fear's heart. It was the result of his repeated deliberations and slow summaries, and it was definitely not guided by anyone.
At least Shadow Fear thought so.
Behind him, two members of the Third Legion exchanged glances. They should have only primary wisdom and were completely the creation of Shadow Fear, but it seemed that the facts...
were not the case.
