Chapter 398 Parallax Demon Batman?
Hey, listen up.
Gudong.
It felt like a heavy object falling into water; the world was a blur before Mongo.
Thoughts swirled in Mongo's mind, constantly merging and separating, like Robin's underwear in the Bat-Washing Machine without any anti-sticking agent.
He strained to open his eyes wide, like two red dots appearing on a peeled yellow potato.
Although Mongo didn't really know what cats and canaries were, he could roughly understand what Batman meant.
Mongo was neither surprised nor angry by Batman's counterattack. Many years ago, Mongo knew that he should not hate his enemies, as it was unnecessary and would impair his judgment.
However, he was still extremely angry at this moment, because of Seneca.
He found the Green Lantern, he recruited the Mechanical Superman, and the only explanation for why all of this had no effect on Sinestro is...
"Damn you, you idiot!"
He angrily cursed the original name of the Lantern, Sinestro, who stood there with a very compassionate posture, looking almost like a living being except for the almost fixed expression of pity on his face.
The Lord of the Yellow Lantern no longer uses the yellow lantern, but attacks with the blue lantern. He emits a disgusting, laughable, sincere sound, like a benevolent mother, like the sound a dog makes before vomiting:
"You're so... so pitiful—waaaaaah—"
"Get out of here!"
Mongo used his Power Gloves to unleash a massive green shockwave at Seneca, having fully grasped the current situation.
The first Lantern Man originally claimed that he was willing to betray Sinestro in exchange for Mongo's promise to help him escape from his prison after the victory. In return, he was willing to give up the location of the Blue Lantern tribe and help Mongo obtain the Blue Lantern Ring. At the crucial moment, he would deliver a fatal blow to Sinestro from behind and use the power of the ring to weaken Sinestro's fighting spirit.
The first Lantern Knight promised Mongo that he would help him modify the Blue Lantern Ring so that when the wearer wore it, he would be unable to extricate himself from the emotion of repentance, and would not be able to let go of the emotion of repentance and continue fighting.
However, he concealed the most crucial point from Mongo:
Regarding the question of whether wearing the ring would lead to emotional turmoil, what he did was not a fixed, determinant-driven mechanism, but rather a remote-controlled switch.
Therefore, once he decides to betray, Sinestro can change his state according to his will.
If Mongo still had Carona's support at this point, he might have been able to try to do something to Senesto. But now Carona has turned against him. Mongo tricked him beforehand, using him as a fuel cell to fight the Black Death Emperor. Carona is now in dire straits, wavering between abandoning sunk costs and continuing to invest. It would be a miracle if he helped him.
"Are you really going to help Batman?"
Mongo raised his palm and used the green energy waves emitted from his divine gloves and rings to collide, causing the energy to spill out in all directions.
The funny thing is that neither of the two people fighting each other are members of the Green Lantern Corps, and they both have some grudge against the Green Lantern Corps, but they are using pure Green Lantern energy to fight each other, making them more like Green Lanterns than anyone else.
Chen Tao quickly synchronized with Green Lantern Batman and then created a protective shield for William Hand to protect him. The battlefield was too dangerous. He did have the idea of training William this time, but the aftershocks of battle were unpredictable, and it would be terrible if he accidentally died.
And the more important reason is...
Chen Tao shifted his body slightly, placing himself between the Divine Power Ring and William Hand.
Although he used Flaniak's mental abilities to share Athocitas's entire prophecy about the Darkest Night with the First Lantern through the Divine Ring, and proved to the First Lantern that once the Darkest Night occurs, the entire universe will perish and no living beings will remain, he would most likely be imprisoned in the Shadow Cabinet forever until he is completely exhausted and never be able to escape, he managed to gain the First Lantern's help.
But for Genie Evolution, what happens in this universe doesn't really matter. One of the main reasons he fell out with the Guardians of the Universe was that they destroyed his travel lamp, preventing him from continuing his space travels.
Essentially, he has no sense of belonging to this universe. If he could find a new universe and continue his journey to save his home, Genie E would leave without hesitation. Whether this universe is left to the Black Death Emperor to turn on the Black Light Corpse Silver Party or destroyed by the Anti-Monitor, it has nothing to do with Genie E.
Therefore, Chen Tao had to consider the possibility that the First Lantern might be negotiating with the Black Death Emperor. Chen Tao was certain that if someone were willing to release the First Lantern from the Shadow Cabinet, the First Lantern would immediately turn against him.
Both being ancient monsters trapped in cages, compared to Carona who was imprisoned by Mongo, the first Genie had far more trump cards at his disposal because he possessed the physical embodiment of the Divine Ring.
To make use of him, Chen Tao had to keep William Hand under constant control, like holding the remote control of a vibrator tightly so that he could activate it at any time.
Chen Tao pondered. The current situation was to urge the first Lantern Knight to see how many more coins he could generate, what he could accomplish, and then continue testing Mongo… to see what other cards he might have that could change the course of the battle.
Mongo lowered his head.
On the battlefield below, the frenzied Red Lantern Supergirl let out a shriek and then uttered a bunch of incomprehensible Kryptonian words.
The vocabulary of Super Girls in their current state is terrible, like... well, you know.
Even so, Chen Tao could barely make out that what she was shouting was some kind of attack signal.
Immediately following her shout, numerous yellow dots of light flew from the nearby war fortress [War World] and quickly appeared on the battlefield.
It was a large group of stiff-faced creatures with an "S" logo on their chests, somewhat resembling Superman Clark. Chen Tao recognized them; they were the fruits of Kryptonian technology, robots called Annihilators.
In the lonely fortress of the Arctic, Clark also has such a robot. In comic book history, after the "Death of Superman" event, the Annihilator robot was activated due to Superman's death and eventually used the Regeneration Matrix to resurrect Superman automatically. As a Kryptonian bodyguard, its mission is to protect its master from harm or to eliminate impure Kryptonian blood. For example, it has repeatedly beaten up Connor, the half-Kryptonian child born to Lex Luthor and Superman.
However, at this moment, there were quite a few Annihilator robots appearing on the battlefield. Compared to the single robot bodyguard in Lonely Fortress on Earth, these Annihilator robots were practically an army.
How did Mongo obtain these humanoid weapons?
Chen Tao looked thoughtfully at the supergirl below, who was enveloped in the angry energy of the red light.
What did Supergirl go through in the universe to make her so angry?
Although he had been focused on the battle on Mongo's side, he was also distracted by observing the battlefield below.
As the Lord of the Red Lanterns, Atochitas was no match for Supergirl. Even without using the Red Lantern Ring to unleash Red Lantern energy that resembled a liquid flame, the berserk Supergirl still managed to pin Atochitas to the ground and beat him to a pulp.
After losing her mind, the Shame of Krypton seemed to transform into something no one had ever seen before. Her fists struck Atositas like sharp cones, the intense pain feeling like having one's tongue pinned to a wall.
Although Athocitas could strip Supergirl of her control over the Red Lantern Ring at any time, the Red Lantern Ring would drain all of a creature's internal organs, and if that were done, Supergirl would die instantly from losing her heart.
Batman wanted Supergirl to live, and Atocitus was forced to agree to it, even though he was beaten to a pulp. He then hid behind some small meteorites flying by in space to avoid Supergirl's attacks, like a wronged dog hiding behind a fire hydrant.
Of course, there's an even more important reason—Atocitas wasn't sure he could actually take Supergirl's ring.
He was indeed the creator of the Red Lantern, but if there had been a Red Lantern stronger than him, would she have been as powerless as other Red Lanterns when their rings were taken away?
Atositas dared not gamble, nor did he intend to. As long as he didn't actually try, he was 100% certain he could take it.
However, Athocitas was previously able to fight Supergirl to a standstill, and even while taking a beating, he was still able to eliminate Sinestro's group of Yellow Lanterns.
But the situation changed immediately after that group of Annihilator robots entered the field.
"Awoooooo..."
Athocitas clutched his head, enduring a barrage of kicks from a swarm of robots, as red light energy continuously repaired his damaged body.
The good news is that he's a red light. So these attacks, which would be fatal to other members of the color light group, wouldn't cause him any fatal damage.
The bad news is that Atocitas is in excruciating pain:
"Batman!" he yelled, clutching his head.
The Yellow Lanterns looked at each other, unsure of who to attack. The battle was changing too fast, and in the chaos, few could tell who their enemy had become.
Originally, Atos and the Green Lantern Corps members teamed up, and he single-handedly swept aside the Yellow Lantern members below. The battle was simple and clear. Then, Supergirl held them back, and everything was clear. But now, the entry of the Annihilator robots has turned the battle into a chaotic free-for-all.
After attracting the attention of the others with the Annihilator, Mongo immediately seized the opportunity and stretched out a palm into the air.
Whether it's the Annihilator or the Supergirl, these are all just illusions created by Mongo.
For Mongo, the key to breaking the deadlock now is...
"Awoooooo..."
Immediately afterward, Chen Tao's communication system rang, and Killer Crocodile's anxious voice came through:
"Oh no, Batman, the Death Storm you protected by the Red Abyss is probably going to throw up. Parallax is about to escape!"
Chen Tao suddenly looked at Meng Ge.
How the hell did that?
Mongo was utterly incapable of controlling Parallax. He had no understanding of the emotional spectrum, at best possessing some affinity for yellow light fear. Controlling lantern beasts was supposed to be Caronna's specialty, unless…
"You@■＃＆＃……"
Then he saw Carona's half-blue ghostly face appear on Mongo's half-face, and he trembled with rage:
"You actually used the Black Death Emperor to plunder my power..."
Originally, Calona possessed Mongo, who was the mastermind. But now, with the Black Death Emperor backing him, Mongo is using the Black Death Emperor's power to kidnap Calona.
Worst of all, in order to completely seize Mongo's body, Carona had chosen to connect his own spirit with Mongo's spirit, but now that the power dynamic has reversed, this connection has become...
"I can sense you, Calona," Mongo whispered. "I can sense your thoughts and memories, so now... become my power!"
Among all living beings in the red, the killer crocodile is very nervous.
Before they arrived, Batman showed them plenty of information. Killer Croc wasn't that old anymore; he wasn't the same beast he used to be in Gotham who would only act recklessly and wouldn't stop until he was bloodied and battered.
He's now making his way into Hollywood, using his $2 million advance on his salary to start Jones Films, and he's a boss now. He already has a lot on his mind.
"The Parallax Monster must not escape from the Crimson of All Beings. Not to mention tearing space, it's just child's play for this monster. If it gets out, we will all die."
Killer Croc glanced sideways at the people beside him, especially a middle-aged, balding white man dressed as a maid, and then said, "I need to unleash the Death Storm!"
"He must spit out the Parallax in the material universe, not in the Red of Beings. The Red of Beings is a life network connecting many beings, and the Parallax wreaking havoc here would lead to a series of terrible consequences that we cannot afford."
Chen Tao took a deep breath and then nodded.
Killer Croc is right; he wouldn't be foolish enough to oppose the other side under these circumstances.
He banished as much negative emotion as possible from his mind and, within a few seconds, immediately accepted the fact that the Parallax monster he had painstakingly sealed into the Deathstorm might be summoned by Mongo and return.
This is the composure a qualified decision-maker must possess: accepting whatever may happen and being prepared at all times.
Even if Mongo were now a writhing, twisted sock, Chen Tao would have to accept it immediately and then think about whether he could use his hairy legs to shove it in to stop the other party.
So Death Storm, carried by Killer Croc, appeared next to Chen Tao.
Mr. Skeleton looked like he was about to die, his whole body convulsing as if he were having an epileptic seizure.
The Death Storm Matrix trapped the Parallax Monster inside, but now, summoned by Mongo, it was about to break free at any moment.
Mongo, not far away, grinned.
Seneca was still trying to attack him, while Mongo faced him head-on, turning his head to look at Deathstorm with piercing eyes.
The power of decaying blackness erupted from Death Storm, but this could not stop Parallax from escaping.
The Black Death Emperor severed a small section of Anton A. Cain's thumb, and Mongo could use this as a fulcrum, leveraging the power of the Black Death Emperor to similarly manipulate the power of the Black Decay.
Soon, the parallax monster will escape and then submit to...
Then a hand was placed on the top of Deathstorm's head.
It's Batman.
He sighed.
boom……
The extremely low, loud noise was like a Tyrannosaurus Rex crushing a car on the moon.
Fluid yellow energy spewed from all seven orifices of Death Storm, and he let out hysterical screams. Whether the Death Storm Matrix was opened or closed, releasing such a powerful yellow energy entity as Parallax was an intense torment for him.
But he eventually released the monster, a huge creature that looked like a yellow worm with ferocious teeth.
Then Deathstorm saw Batman looking up at Parallax...
Then she reached out her hand to him and said in a coaxing tone:
"My precious little darling..."
"Come here..."
