Chapter 565: Project Superman
When the green ring of energy crossed the ocean, chased it to the rebel stronghold, and fell into the hands of Hal, everyone was completely sure that the alien ally Abinsu had indeed been killed in battle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The atmosphere inside the stronghold suddenly fell into a heavy position, and everyone seemed to have no idea what to say for a while.
Although everyone is not familiar with this alien warrior, he died in battle to cover everyone's retreat, not only a brave soldier worthy of admiration, but also a comrade-in-arms worthy of life and death.
But now, he's dead, and his will is left to Hal Jordan along with the ring.
Hal locked himself alone in a small room at the base, with the newfound ring. It looks like he's going to need a while to clear his mind.
However, the ring was not directly put on as it was when he first met Hal in the original timeline, and according to analysis, it seemed to have been squeezed out of the last trace of energy, leaving no excess energy left to complete the last function. It can also be seen from this how fierce Abinsu's last battle was, and he had already exhausted the energy of the lamp ring.
Hal is a strong man, and in fact probably the most strong-willed man in the world. He only needed a moment's time, but Roy had no doubt that he would eventually step up and join the fight.
According to the information the rebels received from Louise Lane, the decisive battle between the Amazon and Atlantis seems to be tomorrow. The day of the judgment of the world may be tomorrow......
And at this moment, in the corridor aisle of the rebel base.
"You already knew, didn't you?" Roy blocked the bishop and asked in a cold voice, "You have arranged every step of the plan, and of course you can't miss the sniping you will be attacked when you finally escape." ”
"What do you say?" The bishop asked rhetorically, smiling nonchalantly.
"So you're not out of arrangement." Roy said, "It was your plan to let Abinsu face the Atlantean army alone and die in battle, right?" You deliberately abandoned him. ”
"If you can't even see that, you're not the person I know." The Bishop shrugged indifferently, "You understand why, right?" It's the ring, not the alien, that really powerful. And we all know to whom the ring will be inherited if this alien dies on Earth. ”
"Howl."
"Yes, so there is no loss for us. So leaving that lanternman there behind the palace is zero loss for us...... No, even a beneficial decision. "If he dies in battle, the ring will naturally find Hal Jordan." As far as I can remember, Hal Jordan was once named the "greatest Green Lantern of all time", and maybe he has the willpower to surpass this alien. In addition, Jordan himself is an earthling, and will undoubtedly be more loyal to us than this alien with unknown motives, and may even have an unexpected outbreak at a critical moment. So by any measure, it's a bad deal, isn't it? ”
"You've missed a part." Roy said coldly.
"Oh? Which part? ”
"One life. You just gave the life of a glorious warrior. ”
The bishop laughed.
"War is like playing chess." He said, "If you play chess, you have to learn to discard your son, you know?" ”
"You used to say that I was the same kind of person as you." Roy said lightly.
"Yes, I did."
"I have to admit that sometimes a part of my heart really agrees with your words a little." "But now, I understand, that's what makes us different." ”
The bishop was stunned for a moment, then regained his calm expression.
"It's just not too late." He smiled, "When you have to make that choice, you'll understand." ”
At this time, a soldier had already stepped out of it, and after saluting as standard, he said, "Sir, the steel bones have arrived." ”
At the entrance of the rebel base, superpowers in different costumes gathered here, and surrounded the bishop as the leader in the middle, as if to greet him.
A silvery-white afterimage fell from the sky, and the steel bones fell solidly to the ground, and the blue flames in the jet pack behind them were abruptly extinguished.
"Thank you for responding to our invitation." The bishop smiled politely, looking like a gentleman who had been in love all night.
"No, I've been keeping an eye on your rebels...... Hey? ”
Cyborg was surprised when he saw Batman: "Batman? What made you change your mind? ”
"This time and that time." Thomas said lightly, "I just saw the only hope left in this unsaved world that was worth saving, and that's it." ”
Cyborg sighed.
"If you had decided to join earlier, I wouldn't have been ...... by the president That's it, don't mention it. ”
Thomas asked, "You were dismissed?" ”
"Pretty much." Cyborg smiled wryly.
"That's a good thing." Thomas said lightly.
"What we need is not your official position, cyborg, we need your abilities. ”
"Anything I can do to save the world." Cyborg said without hesitation.
"I just need to find someone." Still smiling, the Bishop said, "A man who came out of the rocket that destroyed the Metropolis more than thirty years ago, he could be our key. ”
Steelbone was stunned: "Are you ...... Say what? ”
"Confidential information, as far as I know you are the only one who has easy access to it. There isn't a single stone wall or firewall on Earth that can stop cyborgs, which is why we need you. ”
"You're talking about hacking into the government system, and that's not the same." Cyborg shook his head, "I'm sorry sir, but I'm not going to hack into the government's systems. ”
"Even if your principle includes tolerance for the world to be torn apart?"
Cyborg stared at him, as if after a long psychological struggle, it seemed that he had finally been shaken.
"Well, I'll see what I can find."
As he spoke, he had stepped aside, entered the link to the world Internet, and began to inquire about something.
"Superman?" Roy asked softly behind the bishop.
The bishop shrugged: "Anyway, if you don't join us, your next plan is to fool this metal guy to find that Kryptonian, right?" I'll do it for you, no thanks. ”
Roy didn't speak.
"According to the government archives," Cyborg seemed to have found something when he returned, "The rocket was recovered by the government more than thirty years ago and transferred to a classified underground facility under the metropolis, known as the 'Superman Project'. Some of the reports have been destroyed, but they seem to have named something in the rocket 'Subject One'. ”
"Good, cyborg." "That's what we're looking for," said the bishop. (To be continued.) )
