Chapter 284: Beacon Tower
"He's been missing for ten days." Hal Jordan looked at the special radar in the base with some apprehension.
Rogers knew exactly who he was talking about. The man with the yellow light had disappeared for ten days since that day. They both knew that the other party had not left, but they just couldn't find any trace of each other.
"Where's Mr. Wayne?" Hal turned his face to look at the captain, "He's been in his lab for seven days. Don't we really need to go see him?"
"Bruce is a very smart and powerful person, and we can't help him much when it comes to upgrading his technology. All we can do now is believe in him and try to keep the situation as good as possible until he comes out." Rogers Road.
"Okay, but I think we might need some reinforcements or something." Hal looked hesitant, "While it may be displeasing to you and Mr. Wayne to say that, I think the Guardians and the Green Lantern will be a great help to us. If we get the word out."
"Strictly speaking, I don't have the right to be involved in any of your affairs, as long as you can convince Wayne. But if things are so bad that we can't fix them, then I don't think he will stop you." Rogers was okay with Howl's revelations, but as he said, it was difficult for him to do anything other than make him make some suggestions on these matters.
"Steve was right. If we can't fight the yellow-lit man on our own, then I won't refuse to ask for foreign help." Wayne's voice rang out abruptly.
"Oh my God, what is this?" Rogers and Hal turned their heads to look at the source of the sound, only to see Bruce Wayne standing silently behind them in a new batsuit.
"Psychic Bat Suit. Based on my research on your energy production." Wayne's visor was lifted, revealing his bloodshot eyes, but still calm.
"Wait, didn't you update the radar?" Hal shook his head, a little puzzled.
"I've already installed the new radar module, and I just need to turn on the power and input the new supporting algorithm to run it." Wayne stepped forward, put a storage disk *** on the matching interface, and then began to tap on the keyboard.
"I've updated and upgraded some of the features, it's more sensitive, has a higher success rate for inert psychic energy scanning, and can be displayed in categories according to different energy attributes, which helps us know in advance what kind of energy wearers and objects we need to face." Wayne presents the new scan data interface in front of Hal and Rogers.
"It also allows for some data sharing along with the high-priority energy harvesting devices. From these days, the collection of the power of fear is falling off a cliff. And this is not normal. I'd rather have another energy-harvesting device that is not within our control, and it's not a low priority, absorbing the power of fear."
After Wayne finished speaking, his eyes looked at Hal and the others.
"It's the man with the yellow light! All he has in his hands is the power of fear." Hal and Rogers, who had fought against Senisto, once again affirmed conclusively. Obviously, in these days, the reason why the other party has not come out to make trouble again is that he is busy absorbing and competing for those forces of fear.
"Our collection devices in various areas of Gotham are clearly what they consider to be energy nodes. There's a lot of energy there's not being delivered. Judging from the data information, there is a pattern in the disappearance of energy. The other party will not let go of any energy node." Wayne said softly as he looked at a line map that had been drawn together according to the passage of time from the power of fear.
"So that means they're going to come to us?" Hal Jordan subconsciously looked at the ground under his feet. He hadn't forgotten that there was one of the largest collection centers buried beneath his feet, like the energy device where the energy core was located. If what Wayne said was correct, then the man with the yellow light would inevitably come to the door.
Unless the other party is willing to give up this largest and most lucrative energy core node.
Will the other party give up?
Hal doesn't think so.
The captain and Bruce both thought it wouldn't.
"I'm going to restart the radar." Wayne turned off the radar, updated the new data information and assembled the modules, and waited for them to be loaded for trial testing before they were officially activated again.
Over time, the radar screen has been crawling with large and small light spots in an instant. If you follow the previous judgment, then every point of light represents a trouble.
Wayne's fingers tapped quickly and intensively on the keyboard, as if the outer layer of his suit couldn't stop the flexibility of his fingers. He's weeding out useless data and making precise recourse.
After a while, there were only a dozen scattered spots left on the screen. Most of them are located in the locations where the collection devices are distributed. Removing the inactivity, a spot of light very close to them was instantly displayed on the screen.
Bruce called in a few pocket drones, and before they were shot down and lost their signal, all he could see was a flash of yellow jumping refracted light.
"Has he already touched us so close? But it doesn't seem to have found where we are." Hal recognized the owner of the light with sharp eyes, a familiar figure with no face exposed, a yellow uniform on its body that was indistinct in the shadows.
"Sooner or later, it's just a matter of time. The other party is found based on the transmission of energy. Like a beast chasing after it smells, we can't expect it to be hidden for much longer." Bruce Road.
"So what are you waiting for? Let's go out and deal with him." Hal pulled Rogers on the shoulder.
"I'll go with you." Wayne looked up.
"But......" Hal hesitated, as if he was afraid that his words would hurt Wayne.
"Why do you think I made this equipment?" Wayne's visor fell, revealing a somewhat hideous bat helmet, and under Howl's hellish expression, the outer layer of the suit shone with the same golden glow as the captain's body.
……
"Looks like we've been discovered."
Looking at the downed pocket drones, Senisto grinned at the corner of his mouth as he clutched the yellow-lit stove.
The yellow lamp stove held in the palm of Senisto's hand vibrated twice, as if there was a monster that couldn't wait to get out of the lamp stove. Senisto suppressed the vibration of the lamp stove and said softly, "Don't do this, I will give you a lot of fear power to devour, you should listen to me!" Obediently lend me the power, the stronger the better, I've studied those interesting devices these days, the technology is very sophisticated, but there are not even any protections on it to prevent the technology from leaking.
This should be the node where the power of fear gathers the most, as long as we find it and absorb it, we can leave here and implement this device throughout the universe. Think about it, when the whole universe can no longer stop us! We can take revenge on the Guardians who are high above."
With Senisto's pacification, the yellow lamp stove fell silent again.
"Is it them again?"
Seinisto saw two yellows and one green, and three rays of light swept towards him. When the ball of light came to a halt above him, it revealed two faces that he remembered vividly, and a stranger wrapped in a steel suit.
"Looks like I'm looking for the right place! Hand over your energy, as long as you are willing to join my command and join my Yellow Lantern Legion, then I can hand over this planet to you to manage. All you need to do is give me a certain share of the power of fear on a regular basis. What do you think of my proposal?" Even if the opponent had one more person, Senisto shouted fearlessly. The energy he has absorbed these days is enough essence, and according to the reply given to him by the lamp beast, these powers of fear are slightly different from the powers of fear in his cognition, and they are even more magical.
"There are three of us." Hal shrugged his shoulders and unleashed a massive green fist in the lead.
"Your strength is still so weak, no, it's getting weaker! Is the Green Lantern Army recruiting characters like you now?" Senisto's arm wrapped in yellow light energy swung out in the shape of a knife, easily crushing the green fist that Hal hit, and his whole body was suspended with boiling energy, and said mockingly.
A round shield was thrown out as a weapon by the captain and slammed into Senisto's cross-legged arm. The crossed energy points created a solid energy shield that blocked the captain's attacks.
"I don't know how you collect that energy, but I have to say that it fits my mind perfectly. Let me show you my newfound power!" Senisto held up the yellow lamp stove in his hand.
"The day is vast, and the night is clear. The evil woman is the party, afraid of my divine light. Burn in horror, and those who oppose me die. Fear is the source, Sey's authoritarian!"
The oath of the yellow lamp was recited from the mouth of Senisto like a ballad, and the yellow light in the lamp furnace suddenly brightened, like the sun, rendering the surrounding area a yellow sheen.
Under the light of the yellow light furnace, Hal felt that the power in his body was decaying rapidly, as if he had encountered some natural enemy, and the energy glow shining on the green light ring completely dimmed.
In the blink of an eye, Hal experienced the terrible experience of being drained of energy from his body. What's worse is that he lost the green light energy supply and fell directly from the void.
The weightlessness of his body reminded him of the things he feared the most, and his fear instantly attracted the amplification of the power of fear around him. Under the influence of fear, Hal couldn't even maintain his composure, his brain was blank from the impact of fear, and he couldn't even think of crying for help.
Just as he was close to the ground, Hal woke up from his fear, and a deeper level surged out of his heart, and when he faced the fear of death, his body was suddenly enveloped in a warm energy. The sun-like energy with a golden glow dispelled the fear in his heart and re-empowered him.
"Are you alright?" The captain who rescued Hal looked at Hal who was wrapped in a stream of energy that he had separated, and asked as he pulled him to his side.
"I'm fine, it's amazing! How can you give your energy to others?" Hal Jordan asked in amazement as he felt his current state.
"Courage is inherently contagious. I want to thank you for building up your trust in me." The captain detached his energy and infused it into Howl's green light ring. The green light unreservedly accepted the power of the captain's separation, and under Hal's surprised gaze, the green jade-like ring was actually stained with a touch of yellow.
"We can't fight him in the Yellow Light Zone, as not only will our energy be drained extremely quickly, but our attacks will be greatly weakened. It's not good for us." The captain saw that Hal was fine, and immediately told him and Bruce.
"Don't worry, as you said, fear and courage are twins, and there is no such thing as a winner. Well, remove Howl's ring." Wayne's voice sounded calmly, and under the gaze of Hal's eyes that almost protruded, the core energy of the Mind Bat's chest burst out with a large amount of warm yellow light like a yellow light stove.
If the light of the lamp stove makes people feel cold, the light radiated by the Soul Bat suit is like a warm sun, dispelling the chill in the light. What's even more peculiar is that as light within the same color spectrum, the fusion between the two is almost a matter of course, without much hindrance.
"No!" Senisto sensitively felt that the strength of the previous increase had fallen again, and the fear realm he controlled seemed to be mixed with other energies, and the two neutralized and canceled each other.
No, the other party's energy even has a tendency to spread to the core of his energy.
Senisto couldn't help but look at the stranger wrapped in a black armor, and he marveled at the strength of the other's will and heart. can face the power of the yellow lamp stove, and still has the power to resist, and even the power to carry out targeted restraint in the opposite direction.
Although the Lamp Beast in the Lamp Furnace was not released, it was able to fight against the energy of the Lamp Furnace on its own, and it was worthy of praise and amazement to be able to do so. In his opinion, this mysterious stranger was more suitable to be a green lantern messenger than that Hal.
Of course, Senisto was not willing to be suppressed, he communicated with the lamp beast of the lamp stove, and once again stimulated the power of the lamp stove, he didn't believe that the other party could be comparable to the energy accumulation of the lamp beast, even him
He also used the similar shaping power of yellow and green light to process one energy harvesting device after another in the void, brutally absorbing all the terrifying power of the city and the planet.
The device nodes, which spread outward like a tidal wave, brought a steady stream of fear energy to Senisto, mixed with the power of the Yellow Lantern Beast, and regained the upper hand on the field.
It's just that without Senisto's knowledge, the energy that is filled after the arrangement of many device nodes forms a virtual invisible beacon tower.
