"Kirovok and Aretha are the caretakers for the next shift, but they'll be in place 15 minutes late because of something 'delayed' – we've got 15 minutes left, Hal."

Hearing Batman's words, Hal Jordan immediately realized that this prison escape plan was not his work alone, Kilowalker and Aretha were both comrades-in-arms who had once partnered with Hal, and it was obvious that the Guardians of the Universe had no suitable reason to directly take in these Green Lanterns from Earth, which had caused some Green Lanterns to be dissatisfied.

"Then we're going to hurry, Batman. First I've got to go get my own lamp ring back, and-"

"No, Hal Jordan, that's the end of your ridiculous prison escape plan."

At this moment, the sound of cold machinery sounded outside the high-tech prison, and I saw the tall and burly Supreme Green Light Varix appear outside the high-tech prison, and he was carrying two unconscious Green Lantern men on the left and right respectively.

One of them is a strong, red-skinned man with the appearance of a fierce beast, and the other is a petite blonde girl, who is the Green Lantern who has just come to Batman's aid.

Unfortunately, they had planned to delay for 15 minutes, but they couldn't even do it for 15 seconds.

"With such a primitive strategy, do you think you can hide it from the Guardian of the Universe? Now, to avoid a further crime, I need you to stay here and not move, Hal Jordan. As for you, earthling—"

Varix's glowing green eyes stared at Batman emotionlessly.

"You need to come with me and explain how you solved the high-tech prison procedure, you should have confiscated all the small toys in your belt."

Hal frowned slightly, and was about to say something to Varix, but Batman raised his hand to stop him, and took a step forward himself, standing in the doorway of the high-tech prison.

"You have indeed emptied my universal belt......"

Even in O'A, prisoners can still keep some of their personal belongings, provided that they are not dangerous after inspection, but the Green Lantern in charge of the inspection obviously has not heard of the legend of Batman, or is too careless about the technological level of the earthlings.

I saw Batman undo his golden universal belt, raise it above his head as if he had surrendered, and then-

Suddenly, it was as if Batman's hand had slipped and the belt fell from his hand.

Before Varix could react, Batman leaped and pounced on Varix.

"Are you crazy earthling?! You're going to die! ”

Even though Varix has been transformed to remove emotions, he is still a Green Lantern with an instinct to protect life. So in the face of Batman's near-suicidal behavior, his reflex is to throw the two unconscious Green Lantern in his hands into Howl's cell, and then grab Batman's cloak with his free hand to prevent him from falling to his death.

But in the meantime, Batman's belt has fallen under Howl's cell - outside Senisto's.

Didi ...... Bang!

The belt exploded with a brief bang, destroying the doorway defenses of Senisto's cell.

However, by this time, the Supreme Green Light Varix still seemed to be unimpressed.

"Even if it's Tal Senisto, now without the Lamp Ring—what!"

As if sarcastically, a dazzling yellow beam of light shot through the smoke from the door of Senisto's cell and hit Varix, and the Batman he had escaped was padded by a yellow-lit structure.

"You're taking the lamp ring apart into parts to sneak it in and put it together...... No, after the lamp ring was broken, you relied on your own skills to repair it? ”

I saw that Sinisto, who was wearing a yellow light ring, looked at his ring with interest, slowly floating in the air, and then slowly shifted his gaze to Batman with a cold face.

"I'm glad you chose to get me out, though, and maybe I can assume you've decided—"

"Don't even think about it, Senisto. I've left a back door on the lamp ring that will detonate immediately if I notice you making a rash move, or if my heart stops beating. ”

Hearing Batman's cold words, Senisto's eyes narrowed with abruptness, and at the same time, the Supreme Green Light Varix, who had just eaten Sinisto's blow, also looked like he had regrouped, and although his shoulder had obvious burn marks, it didn't look serious.

"Your actions mean nothing other than aggravating your own crimes, and I must remind you that you are in danger of being sentenced to death after the Guardians lift the Ring of Light's lethal force restrictions."

Senisto grinned, a grim grin beneath his mustache, and threw Batman back into Hal Jordan's cell, before flying in front of Varix.

"Okay, I'll delay it, Hal, but don't forget that you owe me a favor."

Despite wearing an incompletely restored lamp ring on his hand, and with little energy left inside, Senisto still looked unhurried.

"The day is vast, and the night is clear.

The evil people are traitors and are afraid of my divine light.

Burn in horror, and those who oppose me die.

Fear is the source, Sey's authoritarianism! ”

——

Regardless, Senisto kept his promise and stopped Varix with the Yellow Lantern Ring, which was not full of energy and was broken and repaired.

"Batman, Sinisto, ......"

"That's the only way, Howl, the Supreme Green Light has absolute control over the Green Light Ring, and Senisto's ring is under my control."

“...... I hope so, but Senisto is more dangerous than you think. And how did you get here, Batman? ”

On the way to the confiscated items storage room, Batman and Hal cautiously make their way through Green Lantern's search while exchanging information on what they know from each other.

After listening to Batman's description of Red and the events he caused, Hal's expression became more and more solemn.

"So at that time, the red light ring that fell to the earth found a new owner...... And could it be the host of the Angry Lantern Beast? Now it's troublesome, and it's likely that Ganser's prophecy will happen in verse 3 of the Book of Eu'A's Hidden Chapter, and then verse 4—"

Batman's expression flickered slightly, and just as he was about to ask Hal, they had already arrived at the confiscated items storage room, but there was already a Green Lantern waiting for them.

It was a Green Lantern with the appearance of a bird-human, and he looked at Hal with undisguised hostility in his eyes.

"I heard that you and Senisto teamed up to break out of prison, Hal Jordan, have you succumbed to the power of fear again?"

"No, Tomare, I'm here to find out the truth that the Guardians of the Universe are trying to hide, to stop the coming Darkest Night, and the Crimson that might happen later—"

"I'll look into these things later! But until then, I will bring you to justice. I still remember the days when you took away my lamp ring and threw it into the universe to die after you became a parallax demon. ”

Tomare, the birdman-headed Green Lantern, is a member of the Lost Green Lantern, who was deprived of his light ring and lost in the universe for a long time when he was fighting against Hal Jordan, who turned into a parallax demon. Although they were later found and reunited, the hatred for Hal Jordan was not eliminated for a while.

In any case, in the face of Batman and Hal Jordan, who have almost no weapons, Tomare, who is wearing the light ring, has an absolute strength advantage, but just as he raised the light ring towards Hal with a winning smile-

Suddenly, Tomare, who had been floating in mid-air, fell to the ground without warning, and the Green Lantern uniform on his body disappeared at the same time.

"Lantern ring? Why can't you - uh!! ”

Boom!

At this moment, Batman and Hal seized the opportunity almost at the same time, Hal kicked Tomare down with a sweeping leg, and Batman went around to his side and struck him in the back of the head with a knife to knock him unconscious.

Hal let out a long sigh of relief and pulled the lamp ring from the unconscious Tomare's hand, then turned his head to look at Batman in surprise.

"It may be because of Kirovok's help, but how did you do it to neutralize the Lamp Ring......"

Batman, however, had an extremely gloomy face, and he pursed his lips and shook his head gently.

"No, it's not in my plan."

Hal's expression immediately froze, and he immediately realized what it meant as he looked at the dim lamp ring in his hand.

At the end of all the light rings, there was a problem with the central energy battery.
