Chapter 61: Making an Exception
Hall of Justice.
Like a devil returning from hell, the big hole in his chest that had not yet recovered from Superman's punch had not yet recovered, and with the sword of Vulcan in one hand and Superman's tattered cloak in the other, he strode into the Hall of Justice.
Although he was the final winner in the battle with Superman, Red was far from unscathed, and Superman's punch that was on the verge of losing control nearly tore him into pieces - in fact, he almost did it, but he managed to use the red light energy to maintain himself at the last moment.
It stands to reason that other Red Lantern Demons, even if their hearts are not weak, will die on the spot if their bodies are too badly damaged, but Red feels that he is special, his body regeneration ability is obviously stronger than others, as long as there is red light energy replenishment and burning anger, he can continue to survive and continue to fight.
Maybe it's because of some kind of consciousness in the right hand—
Or maybe it's because he's a berserker who lives to die.
But even so, his current situation is not optimistic, whether it is fighting Superman just now or healing his severely damaged body, it will take a lot of energy. And now there are few living people in the entire city, and those corpses that have been cooled for a long time, and the blood that has long dried up cannot replenish Red.
But it didn't matter, Red knew that the size of the power didn't matter to the enemy he was going to face next, and that both Solomon Grandi and Darkseid were equal in front of him.
"Batman."
Red stepped on the ground, leaving bright red footprints, and then burst into flames, the light of which reflected Batman's figure in the dimly lit Hall of Justice.
and the red light cat Lingxing that he held in his hand and tied it into a dumpling with a lasso, and even his mouth was tied and couldn't be opened.
"Give my cat back."
Batman's eyes looked at Red with a complicated look, and his hoarse and deep voice sounded slowly.
"How many people did you kill today, Red?"
"Are you still counting things now?"
Red grinned, then raised the Vulcan sword he had captured from Wonder Woman and pointed it at Batman.
"But I wouldn't mind adding one more to the list, Batman - give my cat back, I don't want to say it a third time."
Batman stared at Red for a few seconds, then he held the Spirit Star in one hand and pulled out a blue ring from the compartment of his belt with the other.
"Blue Lantern Ring? Now you don't think you can ...... with this one."
To Red's surprise, Batman did not put on the light ring himself, but threw it in the direction of Red, and the ghost made Red subconsciously catch the light ring.
In Red's surprised gaze, Batman wrapped the extra part of the mantra noose that bound the spirit star around his arm, and then looked at Red and said slowly in a deep voice.
"I swear, as long as you put on the blue light ring, I will release the spirit star and return it to you, no lie."
The Lasso of Truth can prove that Batman is telling the truth, and of course it is not without tricks. Red felt that if he did it now, there was a 99% chance that Batman would have taken his life before he could react-
However, the other party is Batman, and Red doesn't want to take any risks that might put the spirit star in harm's way.
And the conditions of Batman ......
Red took a closer look at the blue light ring, then stuck the Vulcan sword into the ground.
"Alright then, as you wish - but I'm afraid the outcome is already preordained."
After taking a deep breath, Red slowly slipped the blue light ring into the middle finger of his left hand, and in an instant, the dazzling blue light spread along his left arm towards his body.
[Red Light Ring Infestation Found]
[Cell-level clearance in progress]
[Analyzing the mental level, antitoxin is being used - discovering the spiritual connection.] 】
Red doesn't know where Batman got the blue light ring, but he knows what the blue light ring does. The blue light is the color light that represents hope, and with the help of the blue light ring, the effects of the red light ring can be eliminated – both mentally and physically.
【Blood production function regeneration】
"Ahem, ahem, uh....... Ahh!!h ”
As the blue light continued to spread across Red's body, Red began to half-kneel on the ground, and then spit out plasma made of red light energy, but soon the blood he spit out stopped burning, and even glowed with a faint blue light.
At the same time, the mark of the Blue Lantern Legion began to appear in Red's red eyes, and then the crack on the red light ring on his right hand gradually emitted blue light-
Syllable!
Eventually, the red light ring shattered into pieces and fell from Red's hand.
"Red, ...... you?"
Batman frowned and watched the process of Red's transformation by the blue light ring, and the mantra lasso that bound Lingxing in his hand was unconsciously released, and Lingxing, who seized the opportunity to regain his freedom, quickly ran to Red, raised his head and looked at Red with concern, and immediately raised his hair angrily and turned to stare at Batman.
"Wait...... Lingxing, I'm ...... It's okay. ”
Red stroked Psitron's head lightly, then stood up, the monstrous hole in his chest repaired, and his expression and eyes calmer than any time Batman had ever seen him.
It's a nice feeling to be wrapped in hope, and Red has a kind of eternal hope that can guide his future as long as he ignites his soul with a strong heart......
But that is where the false hope ends.
"My true hope...... It is to be a hero and fulfill justice. ”
The light of the blue light ring suddenly flickered violently, and at the same time, the entire arm of Red's right hand began to glow with a dazzling red light like metal in the heat.
"But I have to choose for myself whose hero I want to be, and determine the definition of justice for myself!"
Finally, after shaking violently for a moment, the blue light ring automatically fell off Red's finger and fell to the ground with a click.
When true hope is found and the light of hope is exhausted, the Lantern Ring leaves the vow-bearer.
Although there is no red light ring now, and it stands to reason that his body has changed back to the original mortal, Red still clearly senses the power of blood and energy, as well as the power of the red light of anger.
"See, Batman...... The result was predestined long ago. I've become one with the power of the red light—"
The fragments of the red light ring on the ground automatically floated and then turned into pure energy, forming a strong vortex of energy.
"I am the embodiment of the red light of anger!"
After a few seconds of rage, it converged on the middle finger of Red's right hand, and relied on Red's willpower to forge a new red light ring again.
"Meow~"
"I've said don't worry, Lingxing. Now that I have chosen this path, I will not change it. ”
Red affectionately picked up the Spirit Star and let it sit back on his shoulder, then looked at Batman with a smirk.
"Now you know, I'm not affected by the red light ring, but I became the representative of the red light of anger, and it's useless for you to try to change me."
Batman stared at Red for a few seconds, then sighed softly, almost inaudibly.
"No, I just wanted to confirm something...... It seems that my guess was correct. ”
"Don't be a riddler, just say what you have to say. Then again, you should know about Darkseid—huh?! ”
Red froze suddenly, as he saw Batman reach behind his waist and quickly reach back to point at him.
And in his hand was a small pistol.
"I once made a very solemn oath about firearms."
Batman pulled the trigger almost immediately, not giving Red a chance to react.
"But for you, I make a once-in-a-lifetime exception."
