Chapter 240: Little Blue Man and the Darkest Night

Chen Tao stood in front of Atrocitus, but did not take action immediately.

From just now until now, there has always been a question in his mind:

Where did William Hand... go?

"The Blackest Night covers the sky, the sun and the sky, the dark light is swallowed up by the rise and fall of the other, the heart is ripped out and the soul is taken away, the dead are back in the black hand!"

When he heard the name William Hand, Chen Tao realized who he was:

He is the leader of the future Black Lantern Corps, the first Black Lantern Corpse in the universe, the incarnation of the [Black Death Emperor] before his resurrection, and the key figure who triggered the big event "Blackest Night"!

It is said that long ago, the cosmic guardians who created the Green Lantern Corps, also known as the "little blue people", got a prophecy called "Blackest Night" in the Book of Oa on the planet Oa:

The lights of different colors are derived from the power of emotions. The green light represents will, the yellow light represents fear, the purple light represents love, the red light represents anger, the blue light represents sympathy, the orange light represents greed, and the blue light represents hope. These seven lights will form teams one day and have a "War of Light".

Then the "Blackest Night" will come, and the black light represents death. It will devour all life and return the universe to death.

In short, the little blue people were drinking and singing, and then suddenly the Book of Oa told them: Hey, you are going to send it! Please read the script quickly! After the "War of Light", there will be the "Blackest Night", which is a big crisis!

Normal people would react to this prophecy by saying: Wow! The Blackest Night is too scary! Only the seven lights can defeat the black lights together - then we should build good relationships with other colored light corps and save the world together!

But the little blue men obviously didn't think so. Their brain circuits are very strange: What, the Blackest Night will only happen when other colored light groups are born? Then I will kill other light groups in their cradles, and the Blackest Night will probably not come, right?

This logic is that the prophecy says: After collecting all teammates, there will be a crisis, and then you can fight in a group.

The little blue man said: Then I will kill all the people who may become my teammates, and the crisis will probably not happen?

What a stupid idea is this?

But the problem is that the little blue men, the guardians of the universe, are a group of emotionless creatures who abandoned their emotions a long time ago. They thought so and did so.

They not only covered up the existence of the Blackest Night prophecy, but also suppressed other corps that might appear in every possible way.

For the little blue men, if there is a problem, they will bury the bomb and cover it up. If they can't cover it up, they will send everyone to the sky together. This is already a daily operation.

The 666 sector massacre that caused the sudden death of the entire sector of Atrocitus was like this, the first Lantern was like this, the Orange Lantern Corps' Lafleze was like this, and the Blackest Night was also like this.

However, these are other hidden dangers caused by the little blue men. The focus is on the Blackest Night - the little blue men are not the only ones who know the prophecy of the Blackest Night.

Atrocitus, a user of blood magic, a survivor of the 666 sector massacre, and the future leader of the Red Lantern Corps, is one of them. His understanding of the prophecy is even clearer than that of the little blue men.

While other lantern groups are seeking revenge on the Green Lantern Corps, hanging up online, or staying at home, Atrocitus may be the only one who actively saves himself:

Originally, he was defeated after seeking revenge on the Green Lantern Corps for his massacred Sector 666, and was imprisoned, but he still tried his best to trick Green Lantern Abin Su into bringing him to Earth illegally. After escaping and killing the other party, the future Red Lantern Lord Atrocitus tried to find the source of the Blackest Night directly:

The future leader of the Black Lantern Corps, "Black Hand" William Hand, then directly used his staff "Cosmic Wand" to cast a blood magic to wipe out all the darkness in his heart-

He can't be killed. Killing William Hand will only make him embrace the Black Lantern of Death in advance.

So what are the little blue people doing at this time?

The little blue people, the guardians of the universe, said:?

Ababa Ababa Ababa Ababa Ababa...

They are all creatures without emotions, and they don't care about these things at all. They think they have suppressed the other lantern groups and the Blackest Night will never come.

But there is still a special existence among the little blue people: [Gunther].

He is the only little blue man with emotions, so unlike his compatriots, he is still worried about the Blackest Night, that is, he sent Sinestro to the earth to try to find out what Atrocitus is doing, and by the way, catch the other party who is a fugitive.

Chen Tao shook his head secretly.

However, fate always fools everyone:

Atrocitus intends to take the initiative and erase the Blackest Night from the source, but it causes the death of Green Lantern Abin Su, so that Hal Jordan obtains the other party's ring and becomes a Green Lantern;

His act of killing Abin Su caused the little blue man Ganser to send Sinestro to investigate him in violation of the territory order, which led to Sinestro meeting Hal Jordan in advance;

As soon as the two of them met, Sinestro would invite Hal Jordan to his home planet "Koruga". Once Hal Jordan went there, he would find that Sinestro was a dictatorial tyrant, and then the good friends turned against each other, causing a riot on Koruga, killing Sinestro's wife, and directly leading to Sinestro's rebellion against the Green Lantern Corps and the establishment of the Yellow Lantern, which directly led to the outbreak of the major event "Sinestro Corps War"...

This chain reaction-like thing has greatly accelerated the arrival of Blackest Night!

Of course, things can also be explained this way: Atrocitus' arrival directly led to Hal Jordan becoming a Green Lantern and Sinestro becoming a Yellow Lantern. It was these two people who played a key role in successfully ending Blackest Night...

Isn't this also the arrangement of fate?

The past and the future have never overlapped so densely at this moment. This is the moment when all hidden dangers are buried, this is the beginning that no one has noticed, this is the source of all wars, and it is also the anchor point of all victories. The heroic epic of the Seven Lantern Corps began to be written on this day!

So... does anyone still remember William Hand, who caused the Blackest Night?

"Have you caught William Hand, Atrocitus?"

Chen Tao dodged the energy beam swung by the other party using the cosmic magic wand, and asked loudly:

"Did you use the cosmic magic wand to erase the darkness in his heart?"

In the original history, Atrocitus was caught by Green Lantern Hal and Sinestro when he was about to succeed, and was directly arrested and taken away from the earth, and William Hand was safe and sound.

But he didn't plan to let the future leader of the Black Lantern Corps escape now.

Neurotic patients, let Dr. Atrocitus treat you quickly!

But it is obvious that Atrocitus will not answer Chen Tao's questions properly.

He panted in a low voice, used the cosmic magic wand, and swung an energy wave directly at Chen Tao: "Don't even think about getting anything from me, you lackey of the Guardian of the Universe!"

Chen Tao sighed.

His peripheral vision lingered on Sinestro and Hal who had lost their green lantern furnace: "Don't you have a spare green lantern furnace?"

He noticed Dr. Sivana who had just smashed the furnace in their hands. This coordinated behavior meant that Atrocitus had found a new ally.

The situation was becoming more and more complicated.

Boom!

"Without the green lantern ring, what else can you do?"

The flowing green, mixed with a hint of blood red, was the energy wave emitted by Atrocitus after he used the cosmic magic wand to absorb the energy in Sinestro and the two's green lantern rings and mixed it with his own blood magic.

But this also meant that the green lantern energy that was previously absorbed into the cosmic magic wand was about to be exhausted due to uncontrolled abuse.

"I'm very familiar with you Green Lanterns. Without the Green Lantern ring, you're just a bunch of cowards!"

Chen Tao searched carefully, searching for Dr. Sivana's trace, but to no avail.

The other party just played a perfect match with Atrocitus, unexpectedly destroyed Hal and Sinestro's lamp furnace, and then disappeared again and hid.

How did Dr. Sivana appear here? And it seems that he has completely learned magic. Isn't he Shazam's villain? How did he get involved with Atrocitus?

Who did he meet after releasing Black Adam?

An answer emerged in Chen Tao's mind.

Is it the meditation mite? The magic worm from Venus, the wizard council - the enemy of the wizards who gave Shazam and Billy Batson their powers thousands of years ago?

Dr. Sivana has long served as the mount of this worm in the comics.

"Hal, our colleagues are in danger." Sinestro said.

He eagerly grabbed the other's shoulder: "You have to summon the lamp furnace you hid in the closet to charge the three of us."

Without waiting for Hal to say anything, he hurriedly interrupted him: "You must do it, imagine the existence of the lamp furnace in your heart, and use your willpower to drive the lamp furnace. You can do it, we are all counting on you."

The veteran Lantern did not lose his fighting spirit because the lamp furnace was destroyed. Although he had lost the green lantern ring, he still stood in front of Chen Tao.

"Back off, rookie. This is a battle for veterans." Sinestro warned: "How do you want to deal with Atrocitus? He doesn't have the yellow defect, and your little tricks have no effect on him."

He looked up and down at the sea blue mask covering Chen Tao's face: "No matter what uniform you change into, it will be useless."

"Ah, Sinestro." Atrocitus said: "I have witnessed the fate of Abin Su. I predicted that he would be betrayed by his ring at a critical moment, and the facts are indeed the case. This is why I can kill him."

"And now, I can see another one."

"Your lies don't scare me." Sinestro's face didn't change at all. He raised his fist and prepared for the battle. Although he didn't have the ring, facing a giant like Atrocitus, Sinestro didn't show any fear. In terms of courage, he is indeed the best in the Green Lantern Corps.

"Your..." Atrocitus was about to continue speaking when he heard Batman standing behind them say:

"Your home planet will soon fall into internal turmoil, violent riots, and a bloody coup. When you save a world that is not your own, your people will fall into madness and chaos will be beyond your control."

Sinestro turned his head abruptly, but Atrocitus was more surprised than him.

The other party perfectly predicted what he was about to predict!

"It seems that I have to capture you alive and torture you to find out how you knew it." Atrocitus's face darkened, and his cosmic magic wand pointed at Chen Tao again.

"Atrocitus, we need to talk." Chen Tao grabbed Sinestro and dodged his attack, and said sincerely: "I proved my ability to predict to you. We need to talk about that dark night."

"After catching you, we will have plenty of time." However, this ability of prediction did not stop Atrocitus, but instead fueled his desire to attack.

"Green Lanterns are not good people."

"Calm down, Atrocitus." Chen Tao first restored the state of the Broken Bat and tried to use the nanorobot to remotely communicate with Atrocitus to avoid the possible existence of meditation mites, but the other party ignored the explanation of the nanorobot in his ear.

Hal, who was still trying to summon the lantern furnace, made Chen Tao and Sinestro seem to be stalling for time no matter what they did.

Chen Tao understood very well. The massacre of his hometown made him instinctively unable to believe in any forces under the command of the Guardians of the Universe.

Chen Tao finally realized that Atrocitus could not communicate for the time being.

"It's really troublesome."

Atrocitus heard him say.

Then the next second, while still waving the cosmic magic wand, Atrocitus suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and then his eyes widened, and he vomited the acid water that was hit by the fist that suddenly appeared in his abdomen.

And along with the fist, there were actually some nanorobots used for communication and sound transmission that entered his body.

But Atrocitus didn't have time to pay attention to this for the time being.

"How could it be..."

He tried to wave the magic wand to fight back, but in an instant he was grabbed by the neck and thrown to the ground by the opponent who was obviously much shorter than him, and then he felt that the opponent rode on his back.

Since he couldn't make sense, he would speak with his fists first.

Sinestro was thrown aside in embarrassment, and he looked numbly at the completely unpretentious Batman hitting Atrocitus's head again and again, like beating a drum.

As a wizard, he was careless in front of a Kryptonian and was approached by the opponent. This is the consequence.

Bang!

"I told you to talk nicely!"

Bang!

"Is it great to be able to predict the future?"

Bang!

"I can do it, too!"

Bang!

As Chen Tao was beating him, he put nanorobots into Atrocitus' body - he didn't dare to put too many at once, fearing that the Sivana and meditation mites who might be hiding nearby would notice.

He kept an eye on the surroundings, and then, just before Atrocitus almost lost consciousness, he finally saw a patch of air not far away begin to ripple.

The corners of Chen Tao's mouth began to curl up slowly.

Bingo! I found you...
