Although Ganser unveiled all the prophecies he had seen in the Book of Eu-A, despite the strong opposition of his fellow citizens, his desire to get everyone to put aside their prejudices and work together was ultimately unfulfilled.

After breaking free from the blue light energy of the Holy Walkers, Atohitas seemed to realize that his revenge was temporarily impossible under the protection of both the blue and green lights, so he decisively chose to flee.

"Wash your neck and wait! In the end, only the Red Lantern Legion can destroy everything and rule everything! And the Red Lantern Corps will always be my possession!! ”

After an astonishing burst of red light energy, Atohitas also kidnapped Tal Senisto, who had lost his Ring of Lights. I don't know if it was as a hostage, or if there was an agreement when Senisto released him before.

When Senisto was taken captive, he still had a smile on his face that seemed to be a declaration of victory, perhaps in his eyes, he could reveal the secret that the Guardian had been concealing, and he also succeeded in killing a Guardian of the Universe through a sneak attack, which was already a bloody bargain.

The only ones present who could stop them from escaping, Hal Jordan and the Walkers, refused to honor the Guardian's orders to hunt them down at all costs.

"Now that the central energy battery is damaged, the first priority must be to restore the total energy of the green light. And you still have a lot to explain to me, Guardians of the Universe. ”

And the Holy Walker, who could restrain the energy of the red light, also agreed with Hal Jordan's opinion.

"The blue light can enhance the energy of the green light, and I will help you fix the total energy. As for Atohitas, we will give him hope, but not today. ”

The Guardians of the Universe still dismiss the spectral wars and the predictions that followed, but since hundreds of Green Lantern men have witnessed the Blue Lantern Walkers save them, and the Blue Lantern Energy can indeed assist in repairing the Central Energy Battery.

In desperation, they reluctantly acknowledged the existence of the Blue Lantern Legion and promised to coexist peacefully.

Haggling with the Guardians of the Universe is a recipe for the rebellious Hal Jordan, and at his request, the charges of the Green Lantern are cleared, and they are allowed to take over the mutinous Green Lantern Kraken to re-investigate the case of the Red Lantern Demon on Earth, while the other Supreme Green Lights have also temporarily suspended their missions to undergo inspections and protective modifications.

As for Batman, he got the information he had always wanted from Ganse, the former guardian of the universe and now the guardian of the Blue Lantern Legion.

"The darkest night will come upon each of us, without discrimination, without mercy or for any reason. The Legion of the Seven Lights will fall, and so will the universe, a place without light, emotion, and life—this is the third and final verse of the Hidden Chapter of the Book of Eua. ”

"Originally?"

Batman held his chin in his hand and looked up at Ganser, who was sharing information with him.

"Yes, the fate we knew was over here, but five years ago, the Book of Eua changed, and it appeared without us even realizing that it had appeared the fourth verse of the Hidden Chapter, which I mentioned earlier, the Crimson Dawn."

"You mean, your book of prophecy has been tampered with?"

"No, the Book of Eua does not show prophecy, but a fate that must happen, warriors from the earth. So in fact, the fate of our universe has changed dramatically. ”

At this, Ganser let out a long sigh.

"Of course, your conjecture is not impossible, and many of the Guardians of the Universe who have already scoffed at the Darkest Night have used this to prove that the Book of O'a is not entirely correct. And I can only leave the legion and prepare for these doomed disasters in my own way......"

"But you said before that this was the inevitable fate—"

"Even if events are destined to happen, we can still be prepared to reduce the impact of disasters. For example, I want the Blue Lantern Corps to intervene in the forces of the spectral war, so that we can stop fighting each other and cooperate before the darkest night comes; By transitioning from Solstice Night to Crimson Dawn, we can minimize the damage to the universe. ”

No matter how ruthless the little blue man has become, when the Maltus first came to Oua to maintain the peace of the universe, they did have the best intentions, and Ganse, who had regained his affection, was the heir to this spirit.

"In that case, the leader of the Red Lantern Legion, Atohitas, is the key—"

"No, he's one of the people who wants to stop Crimson Dawn, and he, who has seen the blood prophecy more clearly than us, must already know that the real Red Lantern Demon who bears the prophecy is not himself."

According to Ganser, the current response to Crimson Dawn is roughly divided into three factions.

The first is Ganseer and his Blue Lantern Legion, who believe that the future cannot be stopped but can change the process, so they intend to follow the trend and then protect as many lives as possible in the process of historical change;

Then there are the Guardians of the Universe, who, while superficially scoffing at these future prophecies, are also secretly preparing. Their purpose in capturing Atohitas was to study the Red Light Energy, and in the worst-case scenario, they even planned to abandon the Green Lantern Legion and establish the Red Light Third Legion themselves, maintaining their status as the guardians of the universe while fulfilling their prophecies.

Finally, there is Atohitas, who, despite being the leader of the Red Lantern Legion, is the one who wants to stop the Scarlet Dawn the most. With the exception of Atohitas and his pets, the other members of the Red Lantern Legion were recruited on the basis of being easily manipulated by anger, and they all became irrational puppets after wearing the ring, which shows that Atohitas did not allow his throne to fall into the hands of others.

It is a typical tyrant to suppress the development of forces and maintain their absolute position.

Moreover, Scarlet Dawn mentions "another dimension" and "omnipotent universe", and it is clear that the person who commanded the Red Lantern Legion at that time was not Atohitas.

After hearing Ganser's words, Batman seemed to think of something, squinting his eyes and holding his chin into deep thought, while Ganse quietly observed him and remained silent.

At this moment, two figures with blue and green lights fell from the sky to Batman and Ganse, it was none other than Hal Jordan and the Holy Walker.

"It's finally done, the Guardian of the Universe has issued an order to pardon all our crimes, and of course I've always wanted them to use the word revocation to make it more appropriate."

The "we" in Howl's mouth obviously includes the Green Lantern of the Earth, the Walker and Ganther of the Blue Lantern Force, and Batman.

"However, they still seem to be very unhappy about helping Senisto escape from prison, and are considering whether to impose a new charge on you - so I decided that I will send you back to Earth first, and after I help restore the Green Lantern's total energy, I will bring the Green Lantern Legion to Earth to help in the war."

As he said this, Hal Jordan naturally put his hand on Batman's shoulder, and then his voice was transmitted directly to Batman's ears through the light ring.

"I know you're hiding something...... But you're right not to say it, if the Guardian of the Universe knows the rest of the information, what kind of moth will come up. In short, you go back to Earth first to stabilize the situation, and I will deal with the problem of Oua Star first, and then come back in a day or two. ”

Although Batman didn't say anything about the extradimensional aura in Red's weapon, Hal, as Batman's old teammate, seemed to be keenly aware of something, but even so he still trusted Batman's judgment.

Batman nodded, and just as Hal Jordan was about to open the cosmic teleportation wormhole to send Batman back to Earth, the Blue Lantern Walker stopped them at this time.

"Wait, Brother Batman, I haven't thanked you yet."

The Walker floated up to Batman and held out his hand to him, but Batman frowned slightly and said slowly in a hoarse and low voice.

"At that time, it was just to take what you need, and I didn't need your thanks."

"You'll be able to use it, or you can give it to someone who needs it—"

When the Holy Walker opened his palm, he saw a ring lying quietly in the palm of his hand, which lit up with a faint blue light.

"Wait!"

Hal Jordan stood in front of Batman vigilantly, looking solemnly at the Holy Walks and Ganser.

"Ganser, you have done so much for me more than I can give back to you, but that doesn't mean I'm going to sit back and watch you hand over a lamp ring of unknown origin to my friend."

"Don't worry, dear brother. I will not hide the uses and defects of the lantern ring......"

With a gentle smile, the Walker kept staring at Batman.

"But in the face of the most desperate of futures, it never hurts to have a little more hope."

——

When Batman returned to Earth, he wondered who might be able to use the blue light ring.

He ruled himself out first, hoping that the word was too foreign to him.

Then there are the other companions of the Justice League, each of whom is qualified to give hope to others, but the ability of the Beacon of Hope Ring is too much for them.

Unlike other Lantern Rings, which can be used as powerful weapons on their own, the Blue Lantern Ring is more adept at influencing other Ring bearers. Around the blue light user, the red light holder will feel calm and can even ask him to safely remove the red light ring. At the same time, the blue light can eliminate the yellow light energy and double the green light energy.

In the presence of a green light holder, the things shaped by the blue light also have a physical or protective barrier, etc., but without the green light on the side, it does not have this function, because "there is nothing hope that does not carry out the will".

In the end, Batman had two candidates in mind.

The first is Superman, and while he never needed any other extra abilities, he is undoubtedly a symbol of hope, and it's hard to imagine any special effects he will have when he obtains the Blue Lantern Ring. Maybe he alone would be enough to give the entire Green Lantern Corps a secondary boost.

Then there's Red Douglas, the man who has a complete grip on the power of rage. After meeting Atohitas, Batman is sure that even the founder and leader of the Red Lantern Corps pales in comparison to Red's use of red light energy.

If only he could wear a blue light ring and replace the red light ring......

Worthy of being the leader of the Blue Lantern Legion of Hope, the Holy Walker has indeed planted the seeds of hope in Batman's heart.

However, the moment Batman passed through the spatial wormhole, this faint ray of hope was extinguished.

It stands to reason that Hal positioned the exit of the spatial wormhole at the gate of the Hall of Justice, but what caught Batman's eyes was not a familiar sight to him.

It's a purgatory-like scene.

The flames engulfed everything in sight, the earth cracked and bubbled with boiling magma, and the sky rained bright red blood—it might be inaccurate to say that it was blood, as the red liquid burned itself on the way down.

If it weren't for Batman's sight of the Hall of Justice building still standing behind him, he would have thought that Hal had accidentally teleported him to something like the Apocalypse.

There's no doubt that this is Washington, D.C., or was —

But now, the city has been ruthlessly destroyed, just like the seaside city it once was.

What happened in the few short days I was away?

Bang!

Before Batman could figure out the situation, a deafening bang sounded directly above his head, and even the sound almost knocked Batman unconscious.

Batman barely raised his head, only to see two familiar figures floating in the sky in the pouring blood rain.

And they happen to be the two people that Batman just had in mind.

"Hahahahaha...... Superman, sure enough, we still have to fight the third round. ”

In Batman's eyes, Red Douglas has become close to a god - or a demon god, holding a longsword that was supposed to belong to Wonder Woman, but now the sword is covered in blood.

"But it's not a matter of three things, and this time we have to score the winner."

And the figure confronting Red is undoubtedly Batman's best friend, but although he is far away, Batman can feel that he is different from usual today.

Red Douglas ...... You grit your teeth for me, don't move—"

Superman's voice also resounded through the heavens and the earth, but this familiar voice Batman sounded extremely unfamiliar. It's hard to imagine that this man, who always represents hope, now seems cold and unforgiving in his voice.

Even with murderous intent.

"Otherwise, I might not be able to resist killing you."
