42. How dangerous it is to drive wolves and tigers, I think it is better to lay down the jackals, tigers and leopards together
"The Laughing Bat is here at any moment, and I suspect he's already moving forward with his unknowing, but absolutely nefarious plan in Gotham.
Although the members of the Dark Knights have been defeated one by one, their rampant Dark Servants have held back the top heroes.
Da Chao, Cyborg, and Diana have all been dragged down, Xiao Flash has to stay on the side of the cosmic treadmill in case of emergency, reinforcements from all walks of life have to be scattered to hot spots around the world to quell the chaos, and the troublesome ghosts who escaped from the Phantom Zone are also causing trouble everywhere.
I have good reason to think it's all in the Laughing Plan.
We're winning time and time again.
But we are getting weaker and weaker, and this is his plan, and we will continue to bleed because of the constant victories, and if we continue like this, we will not have enough strength to deal with the possible conquerors and cleaners by the time of the final battle.
He could no longer be allowed to continue his activities. β
On the way to the fall of the lantern regiment, Mason contacted the master, and he said in an accentuated tone:
"How long will it take you and the Knight of the End to hunt down Laugh?"
The old man was silent and did not answer, and after a moment he said:
"He's picked up the life signal of the Laughing Bat, he doesn't know what he's doing in the heart of Gotham, we've set off to get there.
It may be another trap, but I promise, Mason.
He will not interfere with this war anymore. β
The determination in Batman's words made Mason take a deep breath.
He knew that the old man had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything more, but just advised:
"I will guarantee that the decisive battle between you will not be disturbed by any external interference, and I will find a way to deal with the other members of the Dark Knights, this is the last hurdle.
Defeat them, and the warlock will really have no more to sing. β
"Well, see you after the war."
The old man said goodbye.
Mason felt that this was an ominous flag, so he quickly dialed the old lady after hanging up the phone, but he never got through.
Mason guessed that the old couple would definitely not let Batman go to fight alone.
But he was not very involved in the affairs of the Wayne family, so he called Barbara again, but as soon as he connected, he heard the screams of the bat girl:
"Ah, my brain is going to explode! I've upgraded the frontal cortex RAM cache to the highest capacity, but why can't I withstand the data redundancy of this chair?
Mason!
You're going to blow my head out with this chair. β
"Won't you turn on safe mode?"
Mason scolded:
"Don't just connect to the database of the Mobius Chair, it's a search program for Brainiac's level of intelligence, and you're really not too much of a deal.
Mobius chair!
Switch to Assist Invasion mode, the data signal amplifier is in full swing, and the enemy tracking program is activated! A network-wide search for data streams from killing machines and locks down global nuclear weapons launch procedures. β
"Orders received."
The calm mechanical sound of the MΓΆbius chair sounded, and in the next few seconds, Barbara's slightly excited voice echoed in Mason's ears:
"This thing is awesome, I feel like I'm in the consciousness of Buttermoss or Ott, moving freely through the online world and so on!
I see him!
Killing Machine!
The signal has been locked, the remote cracker is launched, I won't tell you, brother, leave this guy to me, block the dignity of being a hacker, I must take it"
"If you can't beat it, remember to shake people."
Mason said to Barbara quietly:
"The Mobius chair and the Divine Opinion Space have an encrypted network protocol, which is specially used for Yin people, and the activation authority has been delegated to you, do you understand what I said?"
"Understood!"
Barbara replied, and the communication between the two was forcibly interrupted in a cacophony of huzzles, apparently hacked into the communication by a killing machine.
He said to Mason in Batman's characteristic husky voice with a cold electronic voice:
"I got you! Mason Cooper. β
"But I don't have any electronics on me that can be remotely activated by you, so give up."
Mason yawned and responded:
"I heard that Alfred, who was made into an artificial intelligence by you, helped you perform a transformation operation, using the black technology of the mother box to strip away your fear and sorrow, and completely reshape you from your heart to flesh and blood.
Sounds cool, man, do you think you're the most powerful Batman? β
"I'm not."
The killing machine replied indifferently:
"But I can confirm that your life has entered the countdown, the coordinate information is sent, and the capture process is transferred to the Daybreak Treacherous Permission! Mason, as I capture Barbara Gordon's mind, I will allow you to hear with your own ears the whimpering of your eldest sister in law before she dies. β
"Nice threat, I'll give you two points, listen to mine next."
Mason retorted and said:
"When Barbara pulls out your fear brain, I'll send you where you need to be with a smile on my face, and I'll be reminded that it's not hell.
Don't have too many rosy illusions about your fate.
End of communication, crumb! β
He turned off the communicator and stopped the flickering of the water, eventually stopping in the ruins of the former Arkham Asylum on the outskirts of Gotham City.
In front of Mason's eyes, there were scattered scattered with will-light lanternmen in green light uniforms.
Judging by their strange appearances, it is not difficult to tell that these guys are warriors from the Green Lantern Legion.
They are supposed to be warriors summoned by Hal Jordan in this world to defend the Earth, and Mason should have the respect they deserve for that alone.
Although the current state of these lantern heroes is really difficult to be respected.
Everyone is seriously injured and dying.
This is the fate of being sealed from outer space and thrown into Earth, but these guys have proven their strength by not falling to their deaths.
Mason didn't waste any time, crouched down and began to bandage the lantern man in front of him.
These are aliens!
Their life structure is very different from that of earthlings, and first aid to them can effectively push Mason's now-stagnant first aid skills into the next stage.
He was already familiar with this job, and it didn't take much time to save the lantern heroes in front of him from near death, and the first aid skills improvement information that popped up on the character card made people happy.
Of course, there are also things that are not so pleasant.
For example, just as Mason was busy with the first aid of the last female lanternman, a guy fell from a high altitude with a scream and smashed right in Mason's back.
He looked back and was amused.
Yo, isn't this Hal? Long time no see.
"Which Hal are you?"
Mason asks:
"You two look exactly the same, even I can't tell the difference."
"I'm our Hal!"
The grizzled Green Lantern threw a, and he got up with a stinky face and looked at the flashes on his fingers like a lamp ring with bad contact, and raised his head with a bitter face and looked at the sky.
There's another Green Lantern there, fighting with a guy who dresses up very "non-mainstream" and shapes everything with green light, but the other Hal is clearly a little unstoppable.
The main thing is that the opponents are eccentric.
That guy can summon an illusion of parallax demon level to join the attack, and his every move is full of oppression, and the means are lethal and efficient.
His fighting style is very different from other lantern heroes, and his shot is a deadly attack that cannot be prevented, and it will be uncomfortable for a long time if he is hit.
"You two have been entangled with the Daybreak Trick Lantern for so long, and you haven't even him down?"
Mason pushed the frame and said to Hal beside him:
"That's a little too bad, isn't it? Aren't you the greatest lightman? β
"Huh? The greatest? β
Hal was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand very humbly and said:
"I'd like to be the greatest lightman, but I'm really just a newcomer, and I'm talking about Hal Jordan from another plane, like this guy you pulled from another world.
Much better than me. β
"Oh, you're a rookie in this world."
Mason snorted, popped a cigarette at the same time, and took out the light extinguisher to light the fire, and then glanced at the sky battle situation, and the second Hal in the green light armor was overstretched and seemed to be unable to handle it.
"Do me a favor, Hal."
Mason spat out the smoke ring and said to Hal beside him:
"Call Senisto here, I know he's on Earth, you've dealt with him before, right?"
"Huh?"
Mason's request made Hal's eyes widen, and he said:
"That Dreadlamp Man snuck up on me and another Hal before, he's a member of the Doomsday Legion! This Daybreak Batman had plotted against him before, just when he was pressing the two of us. Ahem, I mean he got hurt while he was fighting with the two of us.
I reckon he's already gone. β
"You have to have a minimum understanding of the vengeance of the fearful."
Mason shook his head, staring at the battle between Hal II and Daybreak Overhead, he knew that the blackened Batman had his eye on him, and now if he got Hal II, he would immediately pounce on him and kill him.
When they came into contact with the Red Dead, Drowning Wraiths, and the Killing Machine, they all revealed an important message, that the Laughing Bat seemed intent on capturing Mason alive.
This should be an important mission for the Dark Knights.
"Boom"
As Mason pondered, a gray-green energy transformed into a gray-white illusion of the Lord of Wrath, Atohitas, roared at him, and the Dawn Lantern had already attacked him.
But Mason didn't move.
The flames of hell exploded in front of him, and the loyal vehicle demonized Fenrir tore through the flames and strode out, punching the strange illusion with a punch.
Seeing that an illusion could not be suppressed by the Dawn Monster above, Mason drew more power and projected a parallax demon with fangs and claws towards him again.
Mason remained unmoved.
Kevin, who was carrying a big gourd on his shoulder, knew that his time had come, so he screamed, jumped down, pulled out the plug of the mud gourd, manipulated the magic mud, turned into a positive connection, and all the heroes of the Avengers, Saya pounced and attacked the parallax demon.
"Contact him, Hal, there's not much time left for us."
Mason, who was light and breezy, threw the half-smoked cigarette butt on the ground and urged:
"Don't look calm now, but I can't continue to deal with an evil lanternman who can summon all kinds of illusions of will to deliver a fatal blow.
I have a way to deal with him, and I'll need the help of the Lamp of Dread to win with one blow. β
Hal was not very reluctant, because the Green Lantern Legion and the Yellow Lantern Legion had never been friends, but he looked at the Lanternmen lying on the ground, and thought of the latter's strange ability when he was besieging Daybreaker Trick Lantern in the outer space before, and the fact that so many Lanternmen were killed in an instant was enough to prove that this guy was the nemesis of all Lanternmen.
He didn't know much about Mason, but Hal 2 was convinced that everyone was Hal and there was no need to deceive each other, so at this critical moment, Hal Jordan, a rookie, finally decided to take a risk.
He summoned a hand-cranked telephone with his still-flickering green light ring, and quickly connected with Senisto, the dreaded lantern man, on a planet-wide basis through a special connection between the spectrum of feelings.
The other party naturally refused to come over to help.
Mainly in outer space before, he had also seen the terrifying suppressive power of the Daybreak Trick Lantern on the Lantern Ring, and he didn't think that he could turn the situation around if he came.
Mason snatched the microphone from Howl's hand and said to the other side:
"Lex Luthor is running out of singing, Senisto, you have to leave some way back for yourself, see what the forces sent by the stars are doing, do you think they will give you a good life when they come to power?
Of course, I know that as a cosmic-level force, there is a tacit agreement between you not to participate in the affairs of the earth, but I might as well tell you honestly that this tacit agreement will soon be broken.
You now have a chance to re-choose sides.
I won't let you do it in vain, after the Daybreak Lantern is caught, his unique Lantern Ring will be yours! β
"Deal!"
Mason didn't care much about the bunch of Senisto that he said before, but only the latter condition poked the desire in Uncle Sey's heart.
With the monstrous Lamp Ring that could extinguish all Rings of Lights, his Fear Lamp Cluster sweeping through other Lights would no longer be a near-fantasy target.
You can even enter the O'a Star and have a hearty deworming shot against those damn little blue people who have almost messed everything up!
The two sides reached an agreement, and soon a yellow streamer lit up in the air.
Uncle Sai said that he was not interested in the old silver coin, but he had actually been hiding near Gotham and closely observing the traces of the Daybreaker Lantern.
As the greatest Green Lantern of all times, he is different from Howl, a rookie, despite the fact that he has now changed his court, and his veteran experience has taught him to be wary of that particular ring.
"So, what is the plan of action?"
Hal moved his body to step forward to fight back against Daybreaker, he looked at Mason and asked for a plan, only to find that Mason had thrown him two shiny silver gray N metal limited edition "bat bracelets", then raised the beautiful lighter in his hand, and turned his head to show him a meaningful smile.
In the next moment, Mason flipped the ignition button of the light out.
The treasure from Dumbledore's ability to rewrite reality was activated, and all light sources around him were suddenly extinguished with Mason as the center.
And, of course, the three shiny light rings on top of their heads.
That thing flashes through the emotional spectrum, and the light is different, which belongs to the "artificial light source", and is naturally within the influence of the light extinguisher.
Although for a cosmic-level weapon like the Lantern Ring, even if it is extinguished, it will only be a few seconds, but for the Lantern Man, who relies on the Lantern Ring for all his strength, these few seconds of lights out are also an extremely terrifying scene.
Under the shocked gaze of Hal One, Hal Two, Daybreak Lantern, and Senisto fell from the sky dancing like they didn't want to choke their necks.
The Lantern Warrior, who has lost the Lantern Ring, can only rely on his own force to fight.
Hal 2 used to be a pilot, but there is no mention of courage.
At the moment of falling, he pounced on him and grabbed the neck of the equally shocked Daybreaker Lantern, and punched him with an old fist, knocking out several of the latter's teeth in three or two blows.
The latter didn't even react.
Alas, this is really weird!
In the past, he used to extinguish other people's lamp rings, but after he was suddenly attacked by others and turned off the lights, he was a little at a loss, so he could only pick up Wang Ba's fist in the air and scuffle with Hal.
But Uncle Sai is so fine!
As soon as he saw that his lamp ring had also been extinguished, he immediately realized that Mason didn't need his help in calling him over.
This bastard is going to cuddle the grass and beat the rabbit and solve two troubles at once!
Damn it!
Are the young people of the earth so confident now?
Look at this smooth intrigue at work, no wonder Luthor lost so badly in front of him!
Uncle Sai, who was a veteran waiter, immediately opened his arms and let his battle suit glide out with him like a flying squirrel suit, but the sound of gunfire from below completely shattered Uncle Sai's dream of escaping.
Mason's precise marksmanship sent six debilitating bullets into his limbs, sending him tumbling in the air with the force of the impact.
And the moment those mutated illusions created by the Twisted Light Ring dissipated, the demonized Fenrir armor rushed into the sky in flames, waving the flaming mechanical tentacles to grab Uncle Sey and Daybreak and throw them to the ground, Kevin cheered and absorbed all the mud into a huge mud mass that swallowed the two guys into it.
Daybreak was still struggling.
But when he landed, Hal One pounced on him and clicked on his hands to buckle the N-metal bracelet, and Mason stepped forward to take out a fear grenade from his waist in the flying windbreaker, and casually pulled the plug and stuffed it into his mouth.
Dark green compressed nerve gas poured into the body.
Those forgotten memories instantly churned, his eyes became frightened and panicked, and even the lamp ring on his finger began to scream.
"You're the coolest and weakest of all Batmans, and other Batmen can eat these fear gases as bedtime desserts, but you can't."
Mason grabbed his strange bat helmet, forced him to look into his eyes, and muttered:
"The other Batmen have overcome their fears and accepted it as a part of themselves, but you, with a strong will, have not been able to overcome your fears and have only forced yourself to forget about it.
The night of Crime Alley, the dead parents, and the blood on their hands
Those shadows have enveloped you and you have unleashed your fears on others with your will, you should have been a better messenger of fear than Uncle Sai, but do you know why the Yellow Lantern Ring didn't choose you?
You poor creature succumbing to fear, I refuse to admit that you are Batman! β
Mason took off the cracked weird lamp ring on the other party's finger, and then glanced at Senisto in front of him, who was unloaded by Hal and handcuffed with N metal handcuffs and waited for death with his eyes closed.
He put the lights-out ring in front of his eyes and examined it, and when he had obtained the complete drawing, he threw down the ring in his hand and said to the Lord of Fear:
"It's just a collectible thing to me, but you seem to really want it, and you're willing to risk getting killed for it, so, do you want to make a deal? Uncle Sai.
You may not believe it, but I can favor you Dreadwalkers in all the lanterns, and I can give it to you, but I need you to do me a favor.
Don't worry, it's not in this war, it's almost over.
I mean, the next war."
