Chapter 262 No One Understands Justice Better Than Me
After seeing the other four companions nailed to the cross on the other side of the golden portal, Atrocitus's brain, which was almost controlled by rage, suddenly cleared up.
Plop!
Taking advantage of Atrocitus's unpreparedness, Chen Tao kicked him into the portal of the golden vortex.
"Keep an eye on the chemical waste monster." He told Supergirl, and then he followed closely, stepped into the golden vortex portal, and stepped lightly on the dry, desert-like, lifeless land of Ismote.
This is the cage set up by the Green Lantern Corps for Atrocitus and his five-member gang who turned against him. Not long ago, Atrocitus had just escaped from here using Green Lantern Abinsu and came to Earth to find William Hand, who caused the Blackest Night.
"You..."
When Chen Tao walked behind Atrocitus, the future leader of the Red Lantern Corps was half-kneeling in front of the other four companions nailed to the cross by the Green Lantern Corps.
He lowered his head, blankly seeing the flame-like particles spewing out of his mouth and nose, the faintly burning substance that was almost condensed into a liquid.
This is not blood magic. Or rather, this is not pure blood magic.
Atrocitus turned his head and looked at Batman. The other party still had the appearance of his wife, and Supergirl, who pretended to be his daughter, had now stayed behind the portal.
Atrocitus had long ago prepared himself for the need to kill the other four of the five who had turned against him.
That was the first blood prophecy he had made in his life.
He would kill his four companions and exchange their lives for red light energy.
He would carry the will of his companions, be stained with the blood of his companions, and live as the last and only survivor of Sector 666.
He would hold the red light furnace high, step on the corpse of his companion, and use the help of this emotional energy to finally avenge the murderer who destroyed Sector 666!
But he never thought that this day... would come so soon.
So, at this moment, at this time.
Atrocitus... felt the call of fate.
He took a small step forward. More and more dark red flames gushed out of his seven orifices, gurgling out of him like overflowing spring water.
"How did you cause all this, Batman?" He didn't even look back.
"You are deliberately angering me - you know that angering me will allow me to come to this moment of killing my companions in exchange for red light energy."
He said: "How did you predict all this? Even the blood prophecy can't tell me the exact time when things will happen."
"I didn't expect it." Chen Tao said: "I'm just trying. Even if you can't forge the red light furnace, I have other backup plans."
For example, take out a crowbar to beat Atrocitus half to death, and then burst out of him Red Light Batman and other options...
Ahem, but there is no need to do this now.
Chen Tao coughed lightly, and he rushed in front of Atrocitus' wife's face again:
"Hey, Atrocitus, do you still want to be angry now? You can cast the lamp furnace, right?"
Atrocitus's anger soared when he saw his face.
He knew that Batman was deliberately making him angry to meet the condition that the red lamp furnace needed to be cast with anger, but knowing it was still angry.
Especially at this moment, the other party was against his wife's face, making that kind of pretentious action that seemed like a fake!
Bastard, has he never worried that he would lose his mind and rush up to hit him?
Atrocitus tried his best to suppress the urge to hit people, and he was surprised that his willpower was so strong.
He turned his face away, not looking at Batman: "Enough, enough, my anger is enough, no need to be more angry, you'd better change back."
"I'll stay here, look at me when you need me, my husband, my love. I'm your wife, I'll always wait for you."
Ugh!
Atrocitus almost couldn't keep the expression on his face. He was furious and ignored Batman, but walked towards the other four of the five who were crucified.
The blazing flames were no longer limited to spewing out from his seven orifices. Every pore on his body was spewing blood-red flames that flowed like liquid.
He walked in front of Roysome. Roysome was the wife he didn't love, the companion of the five who taught him the blood prophecy.
Atrocitus looked at her with a complicated expression.
"You knew I would kill all of you and become the last survivor of Sector 666, right?"
"Atrositas, why have you never doubted this? If you can predict the future in which you will kill all of us with your inexperienced blood prophecy, how could we four who are proficient in blood prophecy not know it?"
Atrositas heard the rustling voices of his companions, like the evening breeze blowing the dying plants in the gravel.
"So why do you think we were able to successfully rescue you from the mechanical hunter?" Another companion said:
"You can divine the name William Hand, why can't we divine the name Atrocitus?"
"You..."
"We are volunteers. Come on, Atrocitus."
"Kill us, and use the blood in our hearts to forge the Red Lantern Furnace. This is the only way to stop the Blackest Night and avenge the entire 666 sector. Hurry up, Atrocitus, I have been waiting for this day for too long."
"I..."
"I'll wait for you next to you." Chen Tao said.
He no longer maintained the look that deliberately angered Atrocitus, but returned to his original appearance.
He said: "If you need... call me at any time."
He walked through the dark red and brown sand dunes solemnly, and then heard screams from behind.
Chen Tao sighed.
Since their sector was destroyed, every member of the Five Rebels had been determined to die. They exchanged their lives for the Red Light Energy and let Atrocitus avenge them. This was their awareness, their decision, and their fate that they had long since accepted.
I just don't know what kind of mixed feelings Roy Sommer, who knew everything, had after hearing Atrocitus's "I love you" against his will in order to obtain the blood prophecy?
But all this is no longer important. It is hard to say that those who survived with everything on their shoulders are luckier than those who chose to die.
This is the life and choice of the Five Rebels, and it should not be judged by Chen Tao.
"Hot blood... bloody anger."
Endless red light lit up from behind the mound behind Chen Tao, and then intensified and penetrated the sky.
"Take it from the corpse... before it gets cold."
Chen Tao just stood in the distance, quietly witnessing the birth of the Red Lantern Corps. He watched the red light that penetrated the sky gradually become stronger and stronger, and finally turned into a red sun that fell on the ground.
"Deep hatred... boiling the lungs..."
Finally, the red light became brighter and brighter, lower and lower, and then gradually stopped, and surged up for the last time-
"Forge your road to the underworld!"
Chen Tao also turned around at this time. He turned around the mound and saw Atrocitus with his head down, holding a red lamp stove in his hand, and stepping on the bodies of four companions. Everything was just as described in his own prophecy.
He cut open his chest by himself, holding a lantern in one hand and holding his heart with the other hand, and the countless blood on his chest turned into a blood-colored flame that was almost solidified and surrounded him.
And in front of him, a delicate red lantern ring that looked like a blood gem was quietly suspended.
And Chen Tao's eyes stayed on the heart in the other's hand.
[Warning! Warning! Anchored item found: Atrosicas' heart]
[Introduction: Atrosicas cut open his chest and took out his heart. Now he has used the red lantern ring to replace the functions of all his organs. Therefore, this also means that Atrosicas has been bound to the red lantern ring. Once he loses the red lantern ring that replaces his internal organs and helps him maintain his life, he will die immediately. Only people who are extremely angry and hateful can have the courage to do such a thing. ]
[You may be able to use it to summon a Batman from a parallel universe. ]
[But, can the existence summoned by the blazing fire be a good-tempered guy? ]
["Deep hatred and hatred will cook your lungs and cast your path to hell!"]
[Warning, Batman is currently too far away from the anchored item, please get the anchored item immediately! ]
Chen Tao ignored Alfred Protocol's advice and walked in front of Atrosicas.
"You succeeded."
He said.
"Although I don't seem like someone who would say that, I'll make an exception this time." Atrocitus said, "Thank you."
Chen Tao was slightly stunned. This was indeed an extremely rare scene, so that now that the Red Lantern Corps leader had shut up, the words he just said seemed like an illusion.
Chen Tao looked Atrocitus up and down. At this time, he was no longer naked as when they met before. He was covered in a Red Lantern Corps uniform similar to that of the Green Lantern. The only difference was that he had two sharp capes on both sides. Red light energy replaced blood and gushed out from his red-faced and fanged face, adding a bit of majesty.
Behind him, the Red Lantern Central Battery Light Furnace, which was almost as tall as him, stood and roared. This thing was completely the same as the Green Lantern Central Battery Light Furnace of the Green Lantern Corps on the Oa Star except for the color and size. It was quickly cast by emotional energy in this short period of time.
Chen Tao didn't say much nonsense. He took out the Truth Lasso.
After roughly explaining the function of this thing to Atrocitus and letting him experience it for himself, Chen Tao directly wrapped the Lasso of Truth around his hand and started to play straight:
"The meditation mite is a bad guy, and I am a good guy." Chen Tao said. Concise and clear, the classification is clear, the Lasso of Truth, identified as true.
Chen Tao continued to brag without blushing: "Even in the entire universe, I am one of the best spokespersons for the power of justice."
"No one understands justice better than me, and no one is more righteous than me. God, to be honest, I often feel that I am justice itself."
Atrocitus: "?"
If Batman hadn't just let him experience the function and effect of this magic prop in person, he would have almost thought that Batman was mentally ill.
Would there really be a normal person who would say such a thing?
He looked down at the Lasso of Truth - damn, Batman actually thought so.
"And you are also a good person. Good people should not associate with bad guys like Meditation Mites. Look at what they asked you to do."
He stretched out his hand to Atrocitus: "We need to cooperate. You see, you want to stop the Blackest Night, and I also want to stop the Blackest Night. Our goals are exactly the same."
"You want to find William Hand? I also want to find him. We must join forces to make Meditation Mites reveal William Hand's whereabouts. Trying to get along with Meditation Mites like you did before, he will only drive you to do things that are harmful to the world. We are the most natural allies."
"You are right."
Atrocitus' answer was also very concise and efficient. While saying this, he stretched out his hand to Chen Tao: "Cooperation."
"Cooperation." Chen Tao also shook hands with him. The cooperative relationship between them was finalized from now on.
Then Atrocitus heard Batman say: "There is something I hope you can forgive me for. I deliberately angered you before, just to try to make you cast the Red Lantern Ring as predicted."
"It's okay, I have forgiven you." Atrocitus said.
"Thank you very much." Chen Tao said: "I hope you know that no matter what I do to anger you, the purpose is for a just cause, not to insult your family for no reason. All my actions have their purpose, the purpose of justice. I am very sorry for the emotional harm caused to you during this period, but this is the most convenient way to save the universe without casualties."
"I understand." Atrocitus said: "I can distinguish between justice and personal hatred. The hatred with the guardians of the universe of Oa is my personal matter, and saving the universe from the fate of the darkest night is another matter."
He said: "If angering me can help the cause of justice, then I will never blame you."
"Really?"
Atrocitus heard Batman on the other side and suddenly asked this.
He had a bad feeling, but still said, "It's true."
"You said it, so I won't be polite."
"Huh?"
Batman's unconventional words made Atrocitus stunned for a moment. At this time, he saw Batman suddenly come over, wrap the Lasso of Truth around his body several times, and then tie it up tightly.
"What do you want to do?"
Atrocitus was quickly tied up in a tortoise shell tie. He looked at Batman, whose mouth was grinning more and more:
"What do you want to do?"
"Oh, don't worry." Chen Tao said.
"It's definitely a just cause."
Then the next second, Atrocitus instantly became furious again.
