Chapter 401 Why Did the First Lantern Wear a Maid Costume? (6000 Words Long Chapter)

Strictly speaking, Mongo is not the agent of the Black Death Emperor.

The purpose of a qualified agent is to promote "the great Black Death Emperor" as much as possible in the universe, and then let everyone voluntarily become a black lamp corpse to enhance the power of the Black Death Emperor, and then summon the other party to the material universe at the last moment, and then swing the scythe to cut the lamp beast "Spirit of Existence" representing the power of life into eight petals, completely destroying all life in the universe, and returning everything to the darkness and tranquility before the advent of white light.

This is also why the Black Death Emperor needs William Hand to embrace death. He cannot enter the main world by his own strength. Since many years ago, when Caronna first revealed to him the existence of the main world full of life, the Black Death Emperor has tried countless times to open a gap to the main world, but failed again and again.

He needs a stable channel and a continuous supply of energy to keep himself in the real entity.

In the original comics, the weak Anti-Monitor was made into a lamp furnace by the Black Death Emperor, and the dead William Hand became the hub for the Black Death Emperor to come to reality. Scarface, a cosmic guardian contaminated by the Black Death Emperor, forged the first Black Lantern Ring. After so many conditions were met, the Blackest Night officially broke out, and after they created enough Black Lantern corpses, the Black Death Emperor officially descended.

So now Mongo's status is at best no different from the lucky ones who have been given power in the Black Death Emperor's tentative invasion of reality over the years. It is neither important nor has it attracted much attention from the Black Death Emperor.

But... William Hand is different.

That's right, without the Anti-Monitor as a lamp furnace, maybe after William Hand's death, the power of the Black Death Emperor will not be as strong as in the real Blackest Night, but as long as he can come to the main universe, it is a huge achievement.

Chen Tao knew very well that the situation at that time would be like the big event of "Flashpoint". Atrocitus of that universe did not try to eliminate the darkness in William Hand's heart, but succeeded in killing him in advance, which led to the early arrival of the Blackest Night, but also weakened the power of the Black Death Emperor, so that he could not come to reality before he was fully prepared, resulting in the Green Lantern Corps being evenly matched with him, and then the story of Abinsu, who did not die in that parallel universe, coming to Earth and finally becoming the White Lantern.

Oh, by the way, Sinestro of that universe also turned against his most admired teacher Abinsu, because he planned to change history and create a perfect universe. It can only be said that no matter what kind of universe, Sinestro and his teacher, as well as Hal Jordan, are not the same kind of people. His proposition is too radical, and he is too indifferent to individual will and human rights. This is a character problem and a thought problem.

Even if he can seek differences with Abinsu and others on some issues, this is the result of one party giving in to his own proposition. Once there is no way to retreat...

It is not strange that the contradictions will burst out in a concentrated manner.

In short, the current Black Death Emperor's invasion of the world only relies on Mongo himself as a link, resulting in not much power he can project - of course, the reason why he can still match the power of Kalonna's blue ghost is simply because Kalonna's condition is worse. This is a competition between the weak, not a competition between the two strong. Similarly, this also makes them more restricted by Mongo to a certain extent.

Mongo's situation is different from William Hand. After William Hand committed suicide, he had completely surrendered to the Black Death Emperor, but in order to maintain his free will, Mongo deliberately let Kalonna control his body, so that the Black Death Emperor could not completely control him, but made Mongo a referee to balance the two forces.

This is why now when Mongo starts to take sides and completely open his body to Kalonna, the Black Death Emperor will be at a disadvantage.

"Wuwuwuwu... I was wrong, I was really wrong..."

Mongo grabbed his yellow face in pain, and because he was too hard, his fingers even scratched his cheeks.

"I deserve to die, I deserve to die, I have attracted the Black Death Emperor, I am the sinner of the entire universe, woooo woooo..."

His wailing tone was so disgusting that it almost sounded like he was acting in reverse:

"I want to atone for my sins, yes, I still have a chance to atone for my sins..."

As he cried loudly, with his help, the blue ghost of Caronna began to completely cover the other half of his body that was emitting black gas. The Green Lantern Ring twisted Mongo's will and made him repent from the bottom of his heart for what he had done.

In this state, he was willing to give everything to stop the evil he had caused, even if it meant completely losing control of his body.

As the Black Death Emperor completely lost the hub of the transfer power in reality, the power he projected in William Hand's spiritual world became less and less, and he could no longer compete with Batman and others.

So at this time, the pure black that represented the Black Death Emperor in William Hand's spiritual space was fading.

The skull raised its head indifferently, looking at Caronna and Lantern No. 1 who were attacking him from both sides not far away, and Batman who was protecting William Hand in the center of his wings at the farthest distance and looking at him quietly.

"I am death itself." said the Black Death Emperor. "You can't destroy death, you can only delay its arrival."

He said: "We will meet again, William, and you..."

"Batman."

"For the death of all of you."

Then, a second before the attack of the Lantern and Caronna was about to fall on him, the figure of the Black Death Emperor turned into a wisp of black smoke and completely disappeared in William's spiritual space.

So, finally. The spiritual space that was noisy just now became quiet again.

"Batman."

William Hand raised his head and asked Chen Tao in a low voice: "Why don't you answer him."

"What?"

Chen Tao asked.

"I mean, why don't you answer the Black Death Emperor." William Hand said.

He muttered in a low voice: "Scold him! He threatened us and said he would come back."

"Bad guy!"

He concluded concisely.

Chen Tao laughed dumbly.

William Hand is still a teenager after all. He is not the young man in the future who is completely controlled and bewitched by the Black Death Emperor in the comic history, who kills his entire family and then commits suicide.

After defeating the Black Death Emperor, William complained to Chen Tao directly and asked him why he didn't curse the Black Death Emperor. Although it seems that he is regretting that Chen Tao didn't curse, it is actually more of William Hand venting his fear.

If it was an ordinary child, Chen Tao should comfort him at this time and tell him that everything is fine... But he is William Hand, he is the destined leader of the Black Lantern Corps.

He is destined to bear more than others. Maybe it is cruel, maybe it is unreasonable, but this is the fate that the boy named William Hand will eventually bear.

Therefore. Chen Tao said: "Because... because what the Black Death Emperor said is right."

He finally reached out and pressed William Hand's shoulder. He originally wanted to touch the other person's head, but in the end he changed to pressing the shoulder. Because touching the head is a comfort to the child, and pressing the shoulder is an encouragement to the comrade.

He said, "Because it is a fact that the Black Death Emperor will come back. But we will defeat him again, just like today, right?"

He clearly saw the fear in William Hand's eyes.

Chen Tao sighed silently in his heart. He was ready to face William Hand's further escape and coquetry, and he was ready to accept it.

He has never been the kind of person who blames his teammates for cowardice and failure. He has always been quietly making his own plans.

He has never entrusted his hopes to his teammates, which is too heavy and too cruel for others.

Besides, William Hand is still young.

He still has plenty of time to prepare for the Black Death Emperor.

But what surprised Chen Tao was...

"Okay."

He heard William Hand say.

He was a little surprised to see William Hand raise his head, and then said: "We will defeat him again!"

There was still fear and confusion in his eyes, but soon these disappeared from his eyes:

"I will defeat the Black Death Emperor!"

The boy said so.

"Justice will surely triumph over evil!"

Chen Tao smiled faintly.

These words sounded a bit naive and ridiculous, but well.

Not bad.

Not far away, Lantern No. 1 turned around, and the situation on the field was a bit subtle.

His image in William Hand's spiritual space was the same as his physical appearance, a handsome man with many meridians spreading on his transparent body, although at this time his whole body was green, instead of flashing with a seven-color emotional spectrum.

This is because at this time he was completely composed of the green energy of the power ring in the palm of the divine power ring, rather than the power leaked from his body.

If a dangerous character like Lantern No. 1 could really project his power from the Shadow Cabinet, he would not be as cautious as he is now, and the seal that the guardian of the universe had placed on him many years ago was definitely the highest level.

In the history of comics, if the Guardians of the Universe had not collectively gone crazy and wanted to use the power and flesh of the First Lantern to create a third army to replace the Green Lantern Corps, and the First Lantern had not caught the opportunity, he would never have escaped from the Shadow Cabinet.

And Kalonna is now in a classic blue ghost state.

After trying to merge the DC world and the Marvel world and failing, and being defeated by the Marvel Universe's High Master, the defeated Kalonna was sucked into a cosmic crack and unfortunately trapped in a cosmic egg. Unlike the First Lantern, who was sentenced to life imprisonment at best, the cosmic egg that trapped him will be hatched after billions of years and then become a brand new universe. At that time, Kalonna will be directly integrated into that universe and completely merged with that universe. At that time, although he is not completely dead, it is no different from being dead.

This is why Caronna cherishes his soul power that can interfere with reality, because once these powers are lost, there is no way to replenish them, which will undoubtedly greatly accelerate his slow death.

Therefore, neither the first Lantern nor Caronna are sure what Batman's attitude is towards them, so the situation is temporarily stuck there.

They know very well that Batman is different from Mongo. If Mongo still has the possibility of releasing them after knowing what kind of characters they are, for Batman, this possibility becomes extremely low.

But they are not giving up after all, and still have some illusions. They work hard to help Batman deal with the Black Death Emperor, of course, not because they have any feelings for this universe, but if there are no living people in the universe, then naturally no one will come to release them, so they have to fight for the possibility of "they may be released by others".

However, even though the Black Death Emperor had been driven away, no one was willing to let them out. Their goal was not achieved at all. Mungo, the damned slave of unknown surname, had colluded with the Black Death Emperor behind their backs and had set them up badly.

They had been busy from beginning to end. After a long time, they just acted as Batman's thugs and were taken advantage of. Now they got nothing and had to run away in disgrace. How could the First Lantern and Caronna be willing to accept this?

"Batman..."

In the mental space, the First Lantern broke the silence first. He opened his mouth to say something, but was immediately interrupted by Batman: "If I were you, I would start running away now."

As soon as such an aggressive remark came out, the First Lantern could not continue what he was going to say next, and the scene fell into silence again.

Tick.

Tick.

Two seconds later. Kalona's ghost suddenly rose up without a word, and then flew quickly towards the far end of the spiritual space, and disappeared at the edge in an instant.

He ran decisively and resolutely, just like a card running away. Kalona was originally a decisive person. When he was just a scientist, he was able to escape from his colleagues of the Guardians of the Universe. You know, when Kalona was arrested, it was led by the Guardian of the Universe, Ganser, who was personally leading the team, fishing for law enforcement, and many people besieged him. The Machine Hunter Corps was only qualified to be the auxiliary soldiers of the Guardians of the Universe.

Under such circumstances, Kalona was able to escape successfully, and even tampered with the program of the Machine Hunter on the way to escape, causing the massacre of Sector 666, and by the way, he also created the God Power Glove, and continued to fight against the Guardians of the Universe, which proved his talent in escape.

Therefore, after listening to Batman's murderous words, it only took Kalona two seconds to give up his fantasy and make the choice to run away.

And the First Lantern wanted to say something. He glanced at the fleeing Caronna, and then said in a deep voice: "I am different from Caronna, Batman. I am not a mad scientist and destroyer like him. I just want to save my home."

He said: "There is no conflict between us. You have killed the Guardians of the Universe, and my grievances with them have been settled. If you let me go, I will leave this universe and continue to find a way to save my hometown. We will not interfere with each other. In return, I will teach you about the emotional spectrum..."

However, he only said half of his words.

Puff!

In reality, the Power Ring from Earth 3, that is, Hal Jordan's Earth 3 isotope, lowered his head stupidly.

He saw four sharp wooden thorns piercing his body from different directions, and then all passed through his chest. Then the next moment, more branches grew on the wooden thorns, carrying the corrupt death power, piercing every inch of his skin.

The Power Ring didn't even have time to scream, and was killed on the spot under this deliberate attack!

It's Bane!

At this time, Bane's body was covered with fur similar to that of a wild beast, which was a feature of him mobilizing the power of the Red of All Beings. Since they were not on Earth at the moment, Bane seemed to be communicating with some kind of life network on an alien planet through the Red of All Beings, and thus found a beast that did not exist on Earth, similar to an orangutan with many hands and feet, which caused him to grow a pair of new arms on his back.

As a ring bearer, his strength all came from the power ring in his palm. At this time, the First Lantern Man who manipulated the power ring put most of his energy into William Hand's spiritual space, and was using his eloquence to persuade Batman to release him from the cage. He never thought that someone would be able to break through the protective shield he used the ring to set for the Power Ring, and he never thought that someone would wait for a long time deliberately, just to kill the Power Ring at this moment!

"You!"

Feeling that the Power Ring he placed in reality in standby mode was killed by someone, the First Lantern Man in William Hand's spiritual space changed his face.

With intense rage, he left William Hand's mind without saying a word and returned his consciousness to the ring of power.

It doesn't matter. Due to the defects in the original design, the ring will only look for a super cowardly person as its host, contrary to the main universe looking for a courageous person to become the host. And all the people present, even those yellow lanterns who were once murderers and villains, their willpower and courage are far beyond the level of ordinary people.

In this case, if the ring wants to find a host by itself, it will inevitably cross multiple sectors to locate, at least not near the OA star.

In this way, in the worst case, he, the first lantern, can still maintain remote control of the ring. After all, every cowardly ring bearer of the ring is unlikely to disobey his orders.

Although in theory, the ring bearer is the owner of the ring, and is essentially qualified to compete with the first lantern for control of the ring, but if a ring bearer is cowardly, how can he have the courage to compete?

Therefore, for the first lantern, this is a self-contradictory false proposition, and there is no need to worry. Not to mention that in order to prevent himself from completely losing control of the power ring, he also made some preparations behind the back of Sinestro and Mongordo, so no matter what, he should be able to get out of this unscathed.

So the first Lantern immediately calmed down after a brief anger, and Batman was completely unreasonable. What he should do now is to control the ring to escape from the OA star, and then find a host for the Lantern Ring in the vast sector, and then control his body through the rings, and continue to find other ways to release his body.

It is definitely not feasible to let the new power ring hit the Shadow Cabinet, otherwise he would have done so before. There is a branch of the Guardians of the Universe in the Shadow Cabinet, and their combat power is still quite powerful, at least the power ring is difficult to match.

Now that Mongor is finished, Sinestro will not cooperate with him, and he has to find a new partner who can defeat those Guardian branches, in order to...

Hmm? ? ?

Lantern No. 1, who was still thinking, suddenly realized that something was wrong, because the power ring did not fly directly away from the OA star as he imagined, and search for cowards in other cosmic sectors, but flew straight to a...

What the hell? When did this middle-aged bald old man in a space suit appear on the battlefield?

Lantern No. 1 had no time to stop it, and the power ring flew to the finger of the ventriloquist Arnold like a comet. In an instant, Arnold, who was protected by green energy, had the ability to survive in the universe. He took off the heavy space suit in a few seconds.

At the same time, Lantern No. 1, who controlled the power ring, also realized what happened.

"A coward? What a coincidence?"

But he had already seen Batman flying towards him not far away, so he didn't have time to think about it and directly planned to control the other party's body.

It doesn't matter which coward it is to him, he can control the other's body anyway. The reason why cowards are called cowards is because they don't have the courage to resist. I have said before that it is a false proposition, and it is a situation that will not happen in theory...

Hmm? ? ?

"No one can control Arnold beyond me!"

A huge roar exploded in the mind of Lantern No. 1, and then Arnold ignored the control of Lantern No. 1. He took out a suitcase from somewhere and opened it. Inside was a set of...

Maid outfit?

What the hell is this weird outfit? ? ? ?
