7. Visitors to the Yellow Lantern Corps
In any story about Green Lantern, there is a man named Senisto.
In some timelines, Senisto is Hal Jordan's mentor, responsible for training him and helping him grow, while in others, Senisto is Hal Jordan's most feared antagonist, the eternal enemy of will, the absolute embodiment of fear.
In this timeline, Senisto has little connection with Hal Jordan, who was banished by the Green Lantern hundreds of years before Hal became the Green Lantern.
To say banishment is a bit inappropriate.
As the most powerful of the Green Lanterns, and as the leader of the Lanterns, Senisto played with the power of will, and he even had a brilliant record of fighting off complete parallax, and in Cyber's eyes, Senisto was also the only fighter who would pose a threat to him in the current bad Green Lantern Legion.
However, there is no perfect warrior in this world, and Senisto is not perfect either, in thousands of confrontations with the evil of the universe, Senisto realized that if the Lantern Men of the Green Lantern Legion are allowed to continue to be so free, let them waste their strength, and let them disperse the power of OA throughout the universe, then the Green Lantern Legion will eventually achieve nothing.
So he began to reform the behavior of the Green Lantern Corps, trying to pinch the Green Lantern Corps into a whole with power, but he failed, and the Lantern Heroes, who were unwilling to give up their freedom, started a great war with him, as if they were united against Cyber, and they failed.
And Sebosto didn't get the victory he wanted, after this battle, he realized that the freedom of the Green Lantern Corps created the glory of the Green Lantern, but it would also bury this force single-handedly, and the Green Lantern Corps was no longer saved!
So the greatest warrior took off his ring on OA Star, threw it on the ground, reneged on his oath, and chose to go into self-exile.
Now, Senisto has fulfilled his wish, he has a power of his own, a whole legion, he is subordinate to the power that has been defeated by him countless times, he wears his own yellow light ring, and forms his own Senisto legion!
Dread Legion!
And he has also become the most feared king of fear in the power of the psychic spectrum, he uses fear to fight, not only to fight against those villains who disrupt the order, but also to teach those who are hopeless Green Lantern, he uses a violent way, in his own way, to maintain the universe he swears to defend.
In this respect, Senisto is actually very similar to an old friend of Cyber, so before coming to Senisto's stronghold Dreadstar, Cyber made a special trip back to Utopia and brought his old brother with him.
"Buzz"
Under the yellow canopy, a yellow portal opened, and Cyber, who had already worn the yellow ring of dread, stepped out of the door, followed by Bruce Wayne, in a suit and leather shoes, a black woolen coat, and a pair of flat mirrors.
This spectacle does not hide Bruce's excellent temperament, on the contrary, it also dissipates the seriousness and indifference when he purses his lips, allowing him to appear in a more accessible way, which is necessary, as the new mayor of Gotham Special City, Bruce needs to maintain this temperament to lead his people out of the suffering of the past and renew Gotham.
But believe me, after taking off his glasses, he is still the same elite and tireless warrior, and when his people need him to be Batman, he will also put on that black suit again and fight for his people.
"Well, it seems that our visit is known to the master of this place, and behold, he has sent a messenger to meet us!"
Cyber touched his chin and said to Bruce beside him:
"I won't do it for a while, I think you can handle things here!"
"I'm going to have it!"
Bruce held his glasses and smiled: "I haven't beaten anyone in four months, I've been sitting in the office for five months, Cyber, my martial arts skills have been wasted, besides, look at them, there are more than a thousand "Supermen" gathered here, I am not their opponent." ”
"No, no, no, my friend, waving my fist is something I need to do, and this time you're in charge of using your brain. ”
Cyber nodded to the dreadwarrior in the yellow suit who had come to greet them, and followed him towards the center of the reign of the planet that had not been destroyed, but was still developing very well, he looked at the silent inhabitants walking in the streets, looking at their tightly wrapped clothes, the weather was not hot, but the inhabitants here seemed to be living in the cold winter moon.
In the few times they looked at each other, Cyber could easily see the terror glint in their eyes.
"It seems that our chief of Senisto, in a special way, rules his kingdom..."
He turned his head to look at Batman, whose expression had become serious, and he pursed his lips, his eyes full of heaviness:
"Fear is a means, not an end... He made a mistake!"
"So, that's why I want you here, my friend. ”
With his fingers crossed and the green, yellow, and red rings he wore on his hands gleaming in the fast-moving vehicles, he whispered, "If I could take over the rule of this place in some other way, I wouldn't start a war... It's up to you whether you can settle all this peacefully or not!"
"I don't think there's anyone who has a better say in matters of fear than you!"
Bruce paused for a moment, and in the face of Cyber's praise, he smiled silently, reached out and took off his expensive glasses, and whispered:
"Alright then, I'll do my best!"
Twenty minutes later, the emissary from the Yellow Lantern Corps stopped the high-speed craft in front of a large building marked with the Yellow Light Beast-Parallax pattern, and Cyber and Bruce stepped out of the car, the former still wearing the same black trench coat and black and white hunting outfit, and the latter changed into a classic Batman suit, his body shrouded in a wide cape, and the bat-like helmet looked quite intimidating.
"Lord Senisto is waiting for you!"
A female waiter reached out and opened the teleportation device similar to an elevator, Cyber gracefully expressed his gratitude, stood on it, and the next moment, the two of them appeared in a large office, visible from the glass on both sides, this should be the top floor of the building just now, from here, almost the entire Dreadstar can be overlooked.
In front of Cyber and Bruce, the King of Fears, dressed in a yellow suit that was no different from ordinary soldiers, did not have the meaning of fear in the legend, on the contrary, he was lying on his desk at this time, writing hard, as if he was dealing with important government affairs, he could easily sense the arrival of visitors, to which he only whispered:
"Please wait a moment, fellow and guest, I will give you enough time after I have dealt with the verdict of these criminals! The Yellow Lantern Legion is a place with strict rules, we are definitely not terrorists and criminals as rumored by the outside world, believe me, we are united and defend this universe with the power of fear, we are more like heroes than Green Lantern!"
"No, it doesn't take up much of your time, Senisto!"
Seber stepped forward, stretched out his hand brutally, grabbed the judgment that Senisto was writing, pulled it out, and looked at it in front of his eyes:
"Oh, lo and behold, hanging, life imprisonment, waterboarding... Look at what I saw, and there was a decapitation..."
Cyber looked up at the King of Fear, "I'm sorry, am I in a medieval castle now?"
The Dreadlord was interrupted from his work, and he looked up at Cyber, an alien with a peculiar appearance, reddish-purple skin, and pointed ears, who looked like some kind of mutant elf, with a neatly groomed beard and serious eyes, and he didn't look angry.
He looked at Cyber, and he said in a deep voice:
"Cyber Hawke, the Yellow Lantern who was self-recruited by the Senisto Energy Core 8 months ago, I have heard your name in the universe, and I have heard of your style of doing things, I once thought that we would be very compatible, and you would be the sharpest sword in the history of the Yellow Lantern Legion, but now it seems that you are the most annoying rule breaker for me!"
"Wait, Mr. Senisto, I have a question!"
Saiber stretched out a finger and shook it in front of his eyes, and he asked softly, "Do you look at me like a guy who is willing to be subservient? You want me to be your sword? Aren't you afraid to cut off half of your body while I kill my opponent?"
"You... Give it a try!"
Senesto stared at Seiber, strong energy fluctuations bloomed on him, and the two of them met for less than 1 minute, and they entered a state of tension, until Seyber raised his left hand and placed it in front of Seisto's eyes, and the dark green, shining ring kept reflecting into Senisto's eyes, making his pupils dilate in an instant.
"Do you know now?"
Cyber whispered, "I have come to take your life, Senisto... But before I get my hands dirty, I'm willing to give you a chance. ”
He stood up, straightened his clothes, and took a step outward, revealing Batman behind him with his cloak covering his body, who looked at Senisto with a calm gaze, and between the two glances, the yellow light ring that Senisto had carried on his finger began to hum.
"You... Who is it?"
Senisto stared at Batman as he whispered, "I feel the power of fear creeping around you, and you are not controlled by it, but rather as a mortal... You'll be the best commander I've ever had!"
"You! belong to the Sennesto Legion!"
The King of Fear stood up as if he had given an order, pointed at Batman and said, "Come on, join us!" Let's use fear to alert this universe, so that those who do evil will be reincarnated as peacemakers because of fear!
Faced with Senisto's gracious invitation, Batman took a step back, shook his head, and said in a hoarse voice:
"No!
"Why?"
Senisto asked suspiciously, looking at the ring on his finger, he said to Batman, "You see, even my ring is calling you, and it even thinks that you are more suitable than me to be the leader of the Xenisto legion, why do you refuse?"
"I, I have looked into the abyss of fear, but I have never fallen into it. ”
Bruce looked at Senisto, and he sighed, "And you, stranger, although you claim to be the king of fear, you have been consumed by fear. ”
The atmosphere froze at this moment, and then it was broken by Cyber, who was sitting on the side, who spread his hands and looked at the two people who looked at each other:
"This is also your last chance, Senisto, come on, let go of all the fears you have, to knock down my friend's will, and of course you have to experience the fear from him, if you win, I will let you go, if you lose..."
Cyber closed his eyes:
"Just cut yourself!"
"Hehe, what if I say no!"
Senisto raised his fist and turned his head to look at Cyber who was standing aside: "This is my world, this is my legion, here, you have to obey my orders!"
"Then I'll kill you with my own hands!"
Cyber opened his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "My legion has destroyed half of the OA, 300 Green Lanterns have been decapitated in front of me, Senisto, you and your world, in front of me and my legion, how long can you hold out?"
"Bang"
The scythe in his hand was on the ground, and the heavy pressure pressed on Senisto's body, and Cyber's indifferent voice resounded in the room at this moment:
"I'm giving you a dignified way to leave, cherish it, Senisto, if you want war more, believe me, I'll gladly fulfill your wishes!"
Eventually, the Lord of Fear set his sights on Bruce Wayne:
"I'm not afraid of you, Cyber... You can defeat me, too, but you can't imagine that it would be so easy to break the will of fear... As for you, mortal!"
"To challenge fear is to be prepared to be devoured!"
"Let me see how you can defeat the Origin of Fear in this universe!"
