Chapter 374: Behind the glory is engraved a loneliness
Oh my God, friends.
Oh, my God.
Think of those golden years.
Despite his short time on Earth, there were times when Senisto wondered how many things could be so similar.
The heroes of the earth. Barry Allen, Hal Jordan, Billy Batson (Shazam).
They follow in Batman's footsteps, fight evil, uphold justice, and save the world......
Just like his former self chasing Abin Sue.
He used to worship Abin Sue so much that he even fell in love with Ya and Wu because of this, and fell in love with Abin Sue's sister Arlene Sue.
He firmly believes that his heart is like a mirror, and everything he does is righteous. He never denied that he was a might, but he used it to suppress all evil, and although his rule extinguished individual free will, it was a necessary evil, an inevitable way to achieve absolute justice.
ββ¦β¦ No! You have twisted yourself into your dirty, ridiculous, absolutely righteous puppet, which is not justice at all, but tyranny......"
ββ¦β¦ Is theft a damn thing? You're not judging him at all, you're just killing, wanton killing......"
ββ¦β¦ You're just relying on power to suppress that war, and if you kill everyone, there will be no war, right? Ridiculous, you murderous executioner......"
ββ¦β¦ And that thing...... It's just a conflict of interests, a conflict of interests, how dare you use your own will to decide right and wrong? β
"Everyone is prostrate at your feet! Shouldn't I sing the praises of merit? You changed the structure of our society with brute force, turning the republic into strongman politics, and that spaceship that time, you sacrificed about 3,000 innocent people! β
"If I don't send those 3,000 people to die, the virus will be brought back to our planet by their spaceship, and there won't be 3,000 dead by then!"
Senisto retorted loudly to his wife, and even the Lord of the Yellow Lantern Legion was physically and mentally exhausted during the four hours of intense arguing.
He finally got out of control, he couldn't stand his wife for 4 hours of endless rehashing of old accounts, he lost control for the first time in 4 hours. He grabbed Arlene Sue by the collar and lifted her up.
Senisto was a burly man, and his wife was half a head short in front of him.
"Tell me, what can I do?"
His strength was so strong that it hurt Arlene Sue. Even without the use of the Yellow Lantern, the Lord of the Legion can strangle an alien tiger with only one eye with his bare hands, and even confront the cosmic wand of Atohitas, who is powerless to resist when he is angry.
But Abinsu's sister didn't cry out, she lifted her swan-like neck, and looked at her husband stubbornly with a sobbing expression.
Then tears welled up in her eyes, which pierced Senesto and agonized the mighty man.
He put his wife down. Then he took a deep breath and had an undisguised sad expression on his face.
"You'll never agree with what I've done, will you? What I do for my hometown, my most beloved hometown, Koluja. β
He asked slowly, slowly.
"You are my family, the one I love the most. But you're never going to support me, are you? β
Arlene Sue took two steps back.
She had never seen Senesto look so sad, at least not in a long time since they had been married.
So Arlene Su was in a slight trance, but in the end, she still said coldly:
"Never."
Tick.
Arlene Sue's eyes widened in surprise.
She saw a crystal tear fall to the ground, and she could barely tell if it was Sinisto's tears or the dew dripping from the ceiling of her cell.
But none of this mattered, and Senisto stood up. The last trace of weakness faded from the face of the Lord of the Yellow Lantern Legion.
Arlene Sue looked up tremblingly and looked at her husband, who was both familiar and strange.
"Amon Sue."
The Lord of the Yellow Lantern Legion called out to his servant in a voice that was almost frozen in his voice.
"Put Arlene Sue back in custody and make sure she doesn't kill herself."
"Remove all preferential treatment for Arlene Sue. The bedding, the cell, threw her where she really deserved. β
Amunsu was taken aback: "But, Lord Senisto, aunt she ......"
Amunsu knew exactly what the Senisto Legion would do to its opponents. Those who are not directly killed for various reasons, the torture they suffer in their cages, will make people feel that death is also a relief.
Did Senisto really torture his wife?
"There's no your aunt here, and there's no my wife, Amon. There were only opponents of the SenistΓΆ regiment. β
Senito walked up to his wife and looked at the other party condescendingly: "The fact that Arinsu was not executed on the spot is already for the sake of her outstanding contributions to Coruga and her former relative of Abinsu. β
He turned his head to look at Amunsu: "Carry out my orders." β
Then he paused slightly, and emphasized his tone deliberately: "For Arlen Sue's execution, all the prisoners of the Xenisto Legion must be seen." Let every prisoner who opposes me know that Arlene Su has broken with me. β
Then he paused, adding:
"I want everyone to know, even my wife......"
"Nor can you disobey the orders of the SenistΓΆ Legion."
"Brother-in-law......
"Don't make me repeat it a second time."
"Yes."
Amunsu bowed his head.
Immediately afterwards, Senisto did not look at Arlensus again, and he left the prison with heavy steps, almost escaping.
Behind him, there was the hysterical cursing of his loved ones.
Senisto opened his hand, and yellow energy enveloped him, carrying him high into the air.
He pulled his body up a little, and the prison under his feet began to grow smaller, and at this time, he appeared on a moving war fortress, and scattered on this fortress were countless dense Yellow Lantern Legion members.
"Long live Senisto!"
They saw Senisto fly over their heads, and they burst into thunderous cheers.
Immediately after that, like dominoes being overthrown, round after round of cheers passed throughout the fortress of war, all sorts of vicious thugs, rapists, killers, robbers, scum......
At this moment, they are all shouting the same name:
"Long live the Senisto Legion! Banzai! Banzai!
"Hooray!"
Senisto looked up at the vast green planet in the universe far away from the War Fortress, which was being attacked by countless tiny yellow points of light.
So he muttered lowly. The sound was amplified by the Yellow Lantern Ring, resounding throughout the war fortress:
"The ...... of the Senisto Legion"
"I am here to give my orders."
He slowly raised his hand and pointed to the planet that was still stubbornly resisting.
"I order you to capture the OA Star - for me, for the new order of the universe!"
"Total Attack...... Start now! β
"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! β
Senisto stood in the void with his hands in his hands, watching the countless members of the Senisto Legion who had surrendered to his feet take off with yellow light flashing all over their bodies, surging towards the OA Star like a tide.
In this moment, the glory belongs to Sinisto.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Chen Tao returned to the Bat Cave at 3:00 a.m.
Chen Tao, who has almost transformed his brain into a bat computer, no longer needs to sleep.
Before that, he slept at least 5 hours a day, and the main reason for this was that Luthor and Lucius, the top scientists of their group, were still human beings after all, and it was impossible for them to accompany him to cultivate immortals;
As the spokesperson of the green of all things, Ivy Ivy can absorb light energy through photosynthesis instead of eating, but after all, there are still some human beings, and even if they don't have to eat, they can't sleep without sleeping;
Not to mention the Justice League members like Flash Barry, who have to go to work and be superheroes during the day, they need to sleep, and it is impossible for Chen Tao to disturb them.
It may be a good choice to spend this time studying Gorilla Grud, but during the day Grud and they have to accept Luther's call at any time, and if they don't give Gorud a rest at night, Chen Tao is worried that the other party will die.
So when everyone was sleeping, Chen Tao could only force himself to let go of the sense of crisis that was always in his throat, and tried to lie on the bed and fall asleep peacefully, skipping time with one click.
But now, Chen Tao is no longer in this mood.
He hadn't been back to the Batcave in a while, and it wasn't just because he was busy......
Never mind.
Chen Tao shook his head. It was so late, the old butler Alfred should have rested, he just had to finish his work quietly, and then leave quietly.
He only came back this time to back up some files on the bat computer, and there were some things he never liked to fake people. The Bat Computer has been almost impregnated with the power of the Metal Spirit, and no one can steal anything from it, but the computer can show others what is needed at the right time.
Of course, what is really important is always in Chen Tao's own mind, not on the computer.
So he just needs to open the curfew and ......
Belch???!
With a bang, Chen Tao, who opened the door, saw the old butler Alfred wearing pajamas, sitting so straight and straight on the seat at the door of the bat cave hall, although it was already early in the morning, but the old butler was in good spirits and did not feel tired at all.
ββ¦β¦β
"Alfred, why are you here?" Now that it's too late to escape, Chen Tao can't help but regret why he didn't use the perspective eye of a high-speed bullet to see if there is anyone behind him before entering the door.
This is ultimately the result of his lack of vigilance, the Batcave is his lair, and he naturally uses this place as a shelter, and if someone ambushes themselves here, like the comic book "Knight's Fall" did with Bane's approach, it will cause a surprise ......
Chen Tao slammed off his divergent thinking, now was not the time to think about this, he took two steps back and watched Alfred press up.
"Lord Bruce Wayne, are you going to take the initiative to save that alien planet, OA? I was surprised that I didn't know about it, but someone else in the Justice League told me. β
Chen Tao was sweating profusely.
Alfred, the old butler, kindly helped Chen Tao to sit next to him, and then continued:
"I never knew that Justice Lianmeng's business would expand to the whole universe. It's not enough to manage the earth, and now the Justice League has actually become the protector of the whole universe.
I never dreamed of it. God, I used to think that shooting someone with a submachine gun on the battlefield was the craziest thing I'd ever done in my life. But now, alien civilizations, cosmic police? Times change so fast. β
Chen Tao picked his toes at the ground.
"It's just that I think it's a little strange, why do you always say that you want to retire, but now the scope of business is getting wider and wider? It's not enough to even manage the earth, but also to manage alien planets? β
Chen Tao opened his mouth and stammered.
"Then I won't say anything else, I'll just ask a question, sir, when can we go to Fiji to settle down?"
"After solving the problem of OA?"
"I ......"
"Actually, after all this time, Lord Bruce, I always had a question on my mind. Are you really planning to retire? β
The old butler pressed step by step: "Tell me, you are making one plan after another, constantly trying to find ways to deal with those real dangers, desperately grabbing power and improving power, is it really for retirement?" Or are you enjoying it? β
"Answer me."
"Did you enjoy it? Do you get a sense of accomplishment from it? Do you feel the value of self-actualization? β
"Answer me."
"I ......"
Chen Tao was almost overwhelmed.
"Answer me. With all your heart and soul, are you really doing all this for retirement? β
When Chen Tao was about to flee, he heard the voice of the old butler.
"But...... None of these matter. The old butler paused, he was sure of something.
He was a little sad, but a little relieved, but he seemed to have made up some determination.
"It's okay, Lord Bruce. What I wish you knew was...... No matter what you decide. It doesn't matter if you retire or don't want to retire. β
"No matter what you decide in the end."
"I will always support you."
"I understand your difficulties, Master Bruce, and I know the helplessness behind your glory."
"The world can't do without you, and I know you have too much on your shoulders." Alfred said sincerely:
"Those burdens push you forward, just as Master Thomas was once pushed to become the one who reformed Gotham."
"So you don't need to feel guilty about me, guilty for not keeping your promise to me, I can wait, Lord Bruce."
"I just hope ......"
"Can you go back to the Batcave as often as you used to......"
"At least let me help you as I did in the past, even if it's to make a bat sandwich and prepare breakfast......"
"Instead of leaving me powerless."
"So please, let me do something for you......"
The old butler hugged Batman:
"My Bruce ......"
"Please."
