Chapter 276: Plot Twist (Part 1)

A ball of gray light appeared in front of Batman, followed by Schiller's voice. Just like before, he seemed to be able to see what Batman was thinking. Schiller said to Batman: "I will pull everyone's consciousness into the dream, and then attract the Lantern Ring by amplifying their emotions in the dream..."

"But the Lantern Ring must get the consent of the host before it can recognize the master. After their consciousness is pulled into the deep dream space by me, the Lantern Ring will find that there is no consciousness in the body they found. If you want to find the host's consciousness, you must enter the dream, then the body of the Lantern Ring cannot enter, only the power can enter. Come."

"In this way, these people did not really wear the ring, but only received the blessing of the energy in the lamp ring. I merged these energies together to create a new lamp furnace in the dream world and create a brand new lamp beast..."

"But at the same time, this is limited to the dream space. This gray lamp ring has no entity, so it will not work in the real world. As long as you wake up from your dream, everything will be as if nothing happened."

"Or it can be said that this is not a recognized new lamp ring, because it is just a dream we have. "

"What's the use of it?" Batman asked.

"Now. The laughing egg that is fighting against you can use the dark energy deep in your heart to nourish itself, and even infinitely speed up its hatching speed, while you have almost no power to rely on."

"If this continues, the monster hatched from this egg will occupy your body after killing you, and even run into the real world."

"And the gray lamp ring that absorbs the energy of several lamp rings can provide you with energy to compete with it..."

Batman slowly stretched out his hand, and the gray light flew towards his hand. Before he put on the ring, he asked: "I heard from Hal that each lamp ring represents an emotion, so what does this lamp ring represent?"

"Invisible and intangible, true and false, all-encompassing...chaos."

The moment the gray lamp ring touched Batman's finger, his whole body was wrapped in layers of gray fog, and the gray dragon that flew out of the lamp furnace made a bottom cry that shook the entire consciousness space, flapped its wings across the sky, and came to Batman's head.

Batman suddenly felt a mysterious connection between him and the Dream Dragon. With a thought, the gray dragon flew towards the Laughing Demon of Fear.

The Dream Dragon led countless gray mists to follow behind it, and behind the Laughing Demon of Fear was an endless black tide. When the two forces collided, they formed a very bright light spot like a cosmic explosion, and then spread out countless huge ripples.

This huge and shocking battle situation was no longer something that one or two people could control. The consciousness of all the others retreated to the edge of the dream.

Because the power of the lantern ring was swallowed by the gray mist, the light on the bodies of several people also disappeared. Victor's tone was quite relaxed. He said: "Fortunately, it didn't take long. In fact, that power gave me a strange feeling..."

"What feeling?" Schiller asked him.

"It's like something is watching me, or it wants to control me and make some kind of emotion in my heart burst out."

"This is normal, because the light ring comes from the emotional spectrum, and your inner emotional energy can complement the energy of the light ring..."

"Hey, what's going on?" Hal came over and interrupted Schiller and Victor's conversation, and the green light on his body disappeared.

Hal's tone was a little panic, and he said: What did you do to me? Why did my green light energy disappear? "

"I just absorbed all the energy in the ring you are wearing now, and you can go back to the lamp furnace to recharge it later. "

Hearing that this power is not permanently gone, Hal breathed a sigh of relief, but Schiller's next words made him fall into silence: "Don't you think you are a little too dependent on this energy? Are you controlling it, or is it controlling you? "

At this time, the battle situation on the field became more and more intense, and the way of fighting had changed from the physical fight that could be seen to the more mysterious competition of spirit and will.

The gray mist representing Batman and the black tide representing the Laughing Demon of Fear stirred up a spindle-shaped tornado in the center of the battlefield. Batman and the Laughing Demon of Fear fought back and forth in this huge tornado.

From the current situation, Batman is still at a disadvantage, because he not only has to suppress the actions of this monster and attack the monster's body, but also has to use part of his strength to suppress the monster that is about to crawl out of the embryo. The monster that came out. Batman's keen intuition told him that once this monster was fully hatched, it would be all over.

So, a wisp of gray mist tightly entangled the hand that had just stretched out, and tried to press it back into the shell. A part of the thin mist wrapped around the eggshell, constantly thickening the outer wall of the embryo.

Just when the battle was at a stalemate, a wisp of gray mist followed the rotating tornado and touched the tail part of the entire body of the Fearful Laughing Demon. At this time, Batman, who was connected to the consciousness of the gray mist, felt an emotion transmitted into his mind.

It was a brain wave that contained information, but it was very confusing. Batman deciphered the message that the brain wave wanted to convey, which was roughly: "I am Parallax Monster, I want to cooperate with you..."

Batman quickly deduced what was going on. Obviously, Parallax Monster never wanted to cooperate with the Laughing Egg.

Although the Time Difference Monster is a chaotic creature, its way of thinking is completely different from that of humans, but because it cannot act independently, it actually spends a long time with human-like intelligent creatures and cooperates well with them.

The Parallax Monster can be regarded as a symbiont in another sense. Without a host, it cannot stay in the real world for a long time. It must live in the body of the yellow light host, and the yellow light host must have independent wisdom and consciousness to move freely. Therefore, it is very suitable to get along with the host's spirit in the host's consciousness space.

But when the host has a third consciousness in his mind, the Time Difference Monster will definitely feel uncomfortable, just like a pet dog can share a house with its owner, but cannot accept the neighbor's dog living here.

Not to mention the neighbor's dog, which suppressed its consciousness, seized control of its body, and gave it an ugly head.

This ancient creature representing fear was surprisingly angry. No matter how it would get along with this host in the future, it just wanted to kill this monster that robbed its territory with the host's consciousness.

Batman and the Parallax Monster kept communicating through the gray mist, but the orderly thinking of humans and the thinking of chaotic creatures were completely different. They communicated for a long time. They only reached a preliminary cooperation intention, and there was still no clue as to how to do it.

At this time, Schiller's voice sounded in Batman's ears:

"The use of the Gray Lantern Ring is not only to draw the energy in it, but more importantly to use the power of the dream rules."

"The power of the dream rules?"

"Yes, it is the so-called wish come true."

"I know that in dreams, wishes can come true, but you and the Laughing Egg are both the masters of this dream. You are two sides of the same coin. You want him to die, and he also wants you to die. At this time, the two of you can only compete in willpower."

"But as I said, he was dug out of your body, You are him, and he is you, so theoretically, he also has the willpower you have. If the stalemate continues, you cannot completely erase his existence, and he cannot completely erase your existence. "

"So what?"

"I connected my dream with your dream, and used the energy of my Mind Palace and other lantern rings to create the Gray Lantern Ring, which represents my consciousness space."

"In other words, when you use this gray lantern ring, it is equivalent to superimposing my will with your will, so that you have enough status to erase the existence of this embryo..."

Batman narrowed his eyes, he understood what Schiller said.

Originally, his battle with the Laughing Egg was like a person's left hand and right hand arm wrestling, because they were the same person, so the difference in strength and will was not much.

The Laughing Egg can mobilize the dark side of Batman, just like he is the dominant hand, which is stronger than Batman in muscle strength, but not much stronger, so when Batman draws out the energy of the Gray Lantern Ring to fight against the black tide, the two fall into a stalemate of equal strength.

At this time, if the wills of Batman and Schiller are superimposed, it is like a kitchen knife appears out of thin air after the left hand presses the right hand, chopping off the right hand, providing a key factor that can determine the situation.

Several people watching outside the field suddenly saw that the spindle-shaped tornado began to grow bigger and bigger, and the black tide and gray fog became more and more sparse, allowing everyone to see the situation in the middle.

They saw that the crack on the embryo of the head of the monster confronting Batman began to grow bigger and bigger, and the pale hand was tentatively reaching out, and soon the front half was fully extended, followed by the elbow and upper arm.

"What's going on? Is he going to hatch? Batman is at a disadvantage?"

Schiller shook his head and said, "Batman is letting it hatch. He can only do so because the eggshell is not only a limit for the monster, but also a protective shield. If it only extends one hand, Batman's attack may not cause fatal damage to it. He must wait for the crack on the eggshell to become larger."

While he was talking, one arm of the monster had already stretched out completely, followed by the head. Batman saw a pale head with steel spike goggles on his eyes and a big grin. At this moment, he was rubbing the mucus film inside the embryo with his head, and he was just about to get out completely.

At this moment, the entire consciousness space began to vibrate, and the gray mist that condensed like substance descended from the head of the embryo. The moment it touched the hatching monster, the image of the monster began to disappear out of thin air.

It was as if the monster was frozen into a picture printed on paper, and then it was erased bit by bit starting from the head.

But the monster immediately realized what Batman was going to do. It began to resist, and the speed of erasing became slower and slower. At the same time, it kept struggling to break the shell, and the hand that stretched out began to tear the film on the top of its head.

But at this moment, the Parallax Monster gave the monster a backstab, and at the same time began to fight for control in the body. The movement of the Laughing Egg was suspended for a moment because of the interference of the Parallax Monster. At this moment, most of his arm and half of his head were directly wiped out.

Everything happened silently, but everyone could see the fierceness of the battle. Hal almost held his breath, fearing that the movement he made would affect the battle.

The gray mist on the monster's head became thicker and thicker. Batman closed his eyes and concentrated his attention, exerting his own willpower to the maximum. The gray mist stretched into the eggshell along the gap of the monster's shell and began to erase its body.

The Parallax Monster kept interfering with the monster, causing its movements to pause from time to time. Soon, the arm exposed outside the eggshell and most of the body inside the eggshell were wiped out.

At this moment, the monster, realizing that it was powerless, let out a scream similar to laughter, and then the entire dream began to collapse.

"He has run out of tricks, and it seems that he wants to die together." Schiller's tone was still very calm, without the urgency of the crisis. He turned to the others and said, "Follow me into my mind palace first. If this place collapses, I will send you out."

After the figures of several people disappeared, only Batman and the monster were left in the entire dream space.

Finally. Batman and the parallax monster launched a fierce attack together. After the last half of the monster's head disappeared completely, the dream began to collapse completely.

Batman, who had exhausted all his spirit and will, did not see that the yellow body of the fearful laughing demon, except for the head, began to shrink continuously, and then the whole body drilled into the eggshell left by the laughing egg, which had not been completely destroyed.

The gray ring on Batman's finger flew away from his finger and flew towards the towering tower in the center of Gotham.

At the same time, an egg emitting yellow light floated to the door of the tower on the turbulence of the dream.

Schiller put on the gray ring and felt the chaotic consciousness coming from the egg. He paused for a moment and let the egg enter the tower.

Then Schiller raised his arm, and the gray mist was extremely dense.

At the moment when the dream completely collapsed, Schiller's voice came: "Return to reality."

The entire tower, along with the gray mist in the sky, completely disappeared from the collapsed debris full of turbulence.
