Chapter 400: Why did the first lampman wear a maid costume (6000 words)
In the strict sense of the word, Mungo was not the agent of the Black Death.
The purpose of a qualified agent is to promote the "Great Black Death Emperor Your Majesty" in the whole universe as much as possible, and then let everyone be volunteered to become a black light corpse, enhance the power of the Black Death Emperor, and then summon the other party to the material universe at the last moment, and then wave the scythe and cut the "Spirit of Existence", which represents the life force, into eight petals, completely destroying all life in the universe, and returning everything to the darkness and tranquility before the white light came.
This is also the reason why the Black Death Emperor needs William Hand to embrace death, he cannot enter the Overworld on his own, since many years ago, when Caronna first revealed to him the existence of the life-filled Overworld, the Black Death Emperor has tried countless times to open the gap to reach the Overworld, but has failed again and again.
He needs a stable channel, and more importantly, a constant supply of energy that allows him to remain in reality.
In the original comics, the weakened anti-watchdog was turned into a lamp by the Black Death, and the dead William Hand became the hub for the Black Death to come to reality. Scarface, a cosmic guardian tainted by the Black Death Emperor, forged the first Black Lantern Ring, and after so many conditions were met, it was not until the Black Night officially broke out, and after they had created enough Black Light Corpses, the Black Death Emperor officially arrived.
So the current state of Mongo is, at best, no different from the lucky ones who have been empowered by the Black Death Emperor in his tentative invasion of reality for so many years, it is neither important nor has it attracted much attention from the Black Death Emperor.
But...... William Hand is different.
That's right, without the Anti-Monitor as a lamp, maybe after Williamhand's death, the power of the Black Death Emperor will not be as strong as it was during the real Solstice Night, but as long as he can come to the main universe, it will be a huge achievement.
Chen Tao knows very well that the state at that time will be like in the big event of "Flashpoint", the universe of Atohitas did not try to eliminate the darkness in Williamhand's heart, but successfully killed him in advance, which led to the early arrival of the darkest night, but also weakened the power of the Black Death Emperor, so that he could not come to reality before he was ready, resulting in the Green Lantern Army being evenly matched with it, and then it was the story of Abinsu, who did not die in that parallel universe, came to Earth and finally became the White Lantern Hero.
Oh, by the way, the Senisto of that universe also turned his face with his most admired teacher, Abinsu, because he intended to change history and create a perfect universe. It can only be said that no matter what kind of universe he is in, Senisto and his teacher, as well as Hal Jordan, are not all the way. His ideas are too radical and too indifferent to the will and human rights of individuals, which is a matter of character and ideology.
Even if he was able to disagree with Abinsou on some issues, it was the result of one side giving in to his claims. Once you have returned, there is no way back......
It is not surprising that the concentration of contradictions always erupts.
All in all, the current Black Death Emperor's invasion of the present world only relies on Mungo himself as a link, resulting in not much power he can project - of course, the reason why he can still match the power of Caronna's blue ghost is only because Caronna's condition is worse, this is a weaker game, not a battle between the two powers. Again, this also leads to the fact that the two of them will be restricted by Mongo to a certain extent.
Mungo's situation is different from Williamhand's, who has completely surrendered to the Black Death Emperor after committing suicide, but in order to retain his free will, Mungo deliberately allowed Caronna to manipulate his body, so that the Black Death Emperor did not fully control him, but made Mungo a referee who balanced the two forces.
That's why now when Mongo starts to pull the skews and completely open his body to Carona, the Black Death Emperor will fall into disadvantage.
"Woo woo woo...... I was wrong, I was really wrong......"
Mongo clutched at his yellow face in pain, and his fingers even scratched his cheek with so much force.
"I'm damned, I'm damned, I attracted the Black Death Emperor, I'm a sinner in the whole universe, woo woo woo ......"
His mournful tone was so sensual that it almost sounded like he was regurgitating:
"I want to atone for my sins, yes, I have a chance to atone for my sins......"
As he wailed, the blue ghost of Caronna began to completely cover the other half of his black body, and the blue lantern ring twisted Mungo's will, making him repentance from the bottom of his heart.
In such a state, he is willing to give everything to stop the evil he has caused, even if it is a complete loss of control of his body.
And as the Black Death Emperor completely lost the hub of transit power in reality, the power he projected in William Hand's spiritual world became less and less, and he could no longer compete with Batman and them.
So at this time, in the spiritual space of William Hand, he represented the Black Death Emperor, and the pure black was fading.
The skull raised his head indifferently, looking at Carona and the first lightman who were attacking him on both sides not far away, one left and one right, and Batman who protected William Hand in the middle of his wings in the farthest distance, quietly staring at him.
"I am death itself." The Black Death Emperor said. "You can't destroy death, you can only delay its coming."
He said, "We'll meet again, William, and you......"
"Batman."
"For the death of all of you."
Immediately after, a second before the attack of the original Trumpeter and Carona was about to fall on him, the figure of the Black Death Emperor turned into a wisp of black smoke and completely disappeared into William's mental space.
And so, finally. The mental space, which had been noisy just now, was quiet again.
"Batman."
William Hand raised his head, and he asked Chen Tao in a low voice, "Why don't you answer him?" β
"What?"
Chen Tao asked.
"I mean, why didn't you answer the Black Death Emperor's words." William Hand said.
He muttered in a low voice, "Scold him!" He threatened us and said he would come back. β
"Bad stuff!"
He summed it up succinctly.
Chen Tao smiled dumbly.
William Hand is still a teenager now, and he is not the future young man in the history of comics who was completely controlled and bewitched by the Black Death Emperor, killed his entire family and then committed suicide.
After defeating the Black Death Emperor, William complained directly to Chen Tao and asked him why he didn't scold the Black Death Emperor, although it seemed to be a pity that Chen Tao didn't scold, but it was actually William Hand who was venting the fear in his heart.
If it was an ordinary child, what Chen Tao should do at this time was to comfort him and then tell him that everything was fine...... But he is William Hand, who is destined to be the master of the Black Lantern Legion.
He was destined to carry too much more than the others, maybe it was cruel, maybe it was unreasonable, but it was the fate that the boy named William Hand would have to bear after all.
Therefore. Chen Tao said: "Because ...... Because what the Black Death Emperor said was right. β
After all, he reached out and pressed William Hand's shoulder. He wanted to touch the other person's head, but in the end he pressed his shoulder instead. Because touching the head is a comfort for the child, and pressing the shoulder is an encouragement to the comrades-in-arms.
He said, "Because it's a fact that the Black Death Emperor will eventually return. But we'll beat him again, just like today, right? β
He clearly saw the fear in William Hand's eyes.
Chen Tao sighed silently in his heart. He was ready to face further evasion and coquettishness from William Hand, and he was ready to accept that.
He has never been the kind of person who blames his peers for their timidity and failures, he has always only quietly made his own plans.
He never put his hope in the hands of his teammates, which was too heavy and too cruel for others.
Besides, William Hand was still young.
He still had time to prepare for the Black Death Emperor.
But what surprised Chen Tao was ......
"Okay."
He heard William Hand say.
He was slightly surprised to see William Hand raise his head, and then said, "We will beat him again!" β
There was fear and confusion in his eyes, but soon these disappeared from his gaze:
"I will defeat the Black Death Emperor!"
The boy said.
"Good will triumph over evil!"
Chen Tao smiled shallowly.
These words sound a little naΓ―ve and ridiculous, but well.
Not bad.
Not far away, the first lightman turned around, and now the situation on the field was a little delicate.
His image in Williamhand's mental space was the same as his outward appearance as that of his body, a handsome man with many meridians spreading across his transparent body, even though his whole body was green at this time, rather than flashing with a seven-colored spectrum of emotions.
This is because at this time, he is completely composed of the green energy of the power ring in the hands of the Divine Power Ring, rather than the power leaked from the main body.
If a dangerous character like the First Lampman could really project his power out of the Shadow Cabinet, he wouldn't be as cautious as he is now, and the seal that the Guardian of the Universe held on him many years ago was definitely the highest level.
In the history of comics, if it weren't for the collective brains of the Guardians of the Universe and their desire to use the power of the First Beacon and their flesh and blood to create a Third Legion to replace the Green Lantern Legion, he was caught by the First Beacon Hero, otherwise he would never have wanted to run out of the Shadow Cabinet for the rest of his life.
And Caronna is now in a classic blue ghost state.
After trying to fuse the DC world and the Marvel world and failed, and was defeated by the high Tianzun of the Marvel universe, the failed Carona was sucked into a cosmic crack, and then unfortunately trapped in the cosmic egg, unlike the first lantern who was sentenced to life imprisonment at best, the cosmic egg that trapped him will be hatched after hundreds of millions of years, and then become a new universe, and then Carona will be directly integrated into that universe and completely become one with that universe, although he will not die completely at that time, But it's no different from being dead.
This is also the reason why Carona cherishes his little soul power that can interfere with reality, because once these powers are lost, there is neither a channel nor a way for him to replenish them, which will undoubtedly greatly hasten his slow death.
Therefore, neither the First Lights nor Carbona are now not quite sure what Batman's attitude is towards the two of them, so the situation is stuck there for the time being.
They know very well that Batman and Mongo are different, and if it is possible for Mongo to release them after knowing what kind of characters the two of them are, but for Batman, this possibility becomes extremely low.
But they are not dead after all, and they still have some illusions, they worked hard to help Batman deal with the Black Death Emperor, of course, not to have any feelings for this universe, but if there are no living people in the universe, then naturally no one will come to release them, so they have to fight for the possibility of "they may be released".
However, although the Black Death Emperor is now driven away, no one is still willing to release them, and their goal has not been achieved at all.
They have been working in vain from beginning to end, doing it for a long time, just acting as Batman's thugs and being prostituted for nothing, and now they don't get anything, and they have to run away in disgrace, how can they be willing for the first Lampman and Caronna?
"Batman ......"
In the mental space, the first Lampman broke the silence first, he opened his mouth to say something, but was immediately interrupted by Batman: "If I were you, I would start running away now." β
As soon as such offensive remarks came out, it was immediately impossible for the first lightman to continue what he was going to say, and the scene fell silent again.
Tick.
Tick.
Two seconds later. Caronna's ghost suddenly rose up without saying a word, and then quickly flew towards the distance of the spiritual space, disappearing to the edge in an instant.
He ran decisively and resolutely, showing the escape style of Ka Run, Carona was originally a decisive person, when he was just a scientist, he was able to escape calmly from his fellow cosmic guardians, you know, when he arrested Caronna, it was led by the cosmic guardian Ganser himself, fishing law enforcement, multi-person siege, and the machine hunter corps was only worthy of being the auxiliary soldiers of the cosmic guardians.
Under such circumstances, Carona was able to successfully escape, and even tampered with the program of the robot hunter on the way to escape, creating a massacre in the 666 sector, and by the way, he also created a divine gauntlet, and continued to match the guardians of the universe, which in itself proved his talent in escape.
Therefore, after listening to Batman's murderous and wanton words, it only took two seconds for Caronna to give up his illusion and make the choice of running away.
And the first lightman wants to say something. He glanced at the fleeing Carona, and then said in a deep voice, "I'm different from Carona, Batman. I'm not a mad scientist and destroyer like him. I just want to save my home. β
"There is no conflict between us," he said. You've killed the Guardians of the Universe, and my feud with them has ended. If you let me go, I will leave this universe and continue to find a way to save my hometown, we will not interfere with the water of the river, and in return, I will teach you about the ...... of the emotional spectrum"
However, he was only halfway there.
Poof!
In reality, the Divine Power Ring from Earth Three, that is, the Earth 3 isotope of Hal Jordan, lowered his head blankly.
He saw four sharp thorns pierce into his body from different directions, then all of them passed through his chest, and the next moment, more branches grew on the thorns, carrying the power of decaying death through every inch of his body.
The Divine Power Ring didn't even have time to scream, and he was killed on the spot under this deliberate attack!
It's Bain!
At this time, Bane was covered in fur similar to that of a beast, which was characteristic of his ability to mobilize the red power of all beings. Since they were not on Earth at the moment, Bane communicated with what appeared to be some kind of alien life network through the Red of All Beings, and thus found a beast that did not exist on Earth, similar to an orangutan with many hands and legs, which caused a new pair of arms to grow on his back.
As a ring-holder, all his strength comes from the power ring in the palm of his hand, and at this time, the first lampman who controls the power ring puts most of his energy into William Hand's mental space, and is agitating the three-inch incorruptible tongue, trying every means to persuade Batman to release him from the cage, never thought that someone would actually have the ability to break through the protective shield he used the ring to put on the Divine Power Ring, and he never thought that someone would wait for a long time, just to kill the Divine Power Ring at this moment!
"You!"
Feeling that the Divine Power Ring that he had placed in reality and was in a standby state was killed by someone with a single blow, the face of the first lampman in Williamhand's mental space changed greatly.
With a fierce rage, he left William Hand's spirit without saying a word, and returned his consciousness to the power ring.
It doesn't matter, due to the flaws in the original design, contrary to the main universe looking for someone with courage to become a host, the Ring will only look for a super cowardly person to be his host. And all the people present, even those who had been murderers and villains before, their willpower and courage were far beyond the level of ordinary people.
In such a situation, if the ring wants to find a host on its own, it will inevitably be located across multiple sectors, at least not near the OA star.
In the worst-case scenario, his first Lampman would still be able to maintain remote control of the Ring, as it would be impossible for every cowardly Ring-bearer to disobey his orders.
Although theoretically speaking, the Ring Bearer is the owner of the Ring and is essentially entitled to compete with the First Lantern Man for control of the ring, if a Ring Bearer is cowardly, then how can he have the courage to do so?
Therefore, for the first Lampman, this is a paradoxical false proposition, and there is no need to worry. Not to mention that he had made some preparations behind his back to prevent himself from completely losing control of the Ring, so he should be able to get out of it anyway.
So the first Lampman calmed down immediately after a short period of anger, Batman didn't make sense at all, what he should do now was to manipulate the ring to escape from the OA star, and then find a host for the Lamp Ring in the vast sector, and then control his body through the ring, and continue to find other ways to release his body.
It would definitely not work to let the new Divine Power Ring hit the Shadow Cabinet, otherwise he would have done it before, there is a branch of the Guardians of the Universe in the Shadow Cabinet, and their combat power is still quite strong, at least the Divine Power Ring is difficult to match.
Now that Mongo is finished, Senisto won't be working with him, and he'll have to find a new collaborator who can defeat those Guardian branches before he can ......
Well???
The first lantern man, who was still thinking about it, suddenly realized that something was wrong, because Quan Ring did not fly directly away from OA Star as he imagined, looking for cowards in other cosmic sectors, but flew straight to a ...... not far away
What the heck? When did this middle-aged little old man in a spacesuit appear on the battlefield?
Before the first Lantern Man could stop it, the ring flew to Arnold's finger the ventriloquist like a comet, and in an instant, Arnold, who was protected by green energy, had the ability to survive in the universe, and he took off his heavy spacesuit.
At the same time, the First Lampman, who controls the Ring, realizes what is happening.
"A coward? Such a coincidence? β
But he had already seen Batman flying towards him not far away, so he didn't have time to think about it, and directly planned to control the other party's body.
It doesn't matter which coward is to him, he can control the other person's body anyway, and the reason why cowards are called cowards is because they don't have the courage to resist at all, as I said before, it's a false proposition, and theoretically it's a situation that won't happen......
Well???
"No one will be able to get past me to control Arnold!"
A loud roar exploded in the mind of the First Lampman, and then Arnold ignored the First Lampman's control, he pulled out a suitcase out of nowhere, and then opened it, and inside was a set of ......
Maid outfit?
What the hell is this strange clothes????
