Not far away, Deathstorm has once again volunteered to become a container for the capture of parallax monsters. Bane grabbed the screaming Deathstorm and used him like a nightpot, pouring the Parallax Monster's body into it like a slurry.

If Deathstorm hadn't accepted the power of the Corrupt Black, if he hadn't accepted Luthor's transformation, he might still have the power to resist when facing Bane, but at this moment, almost the entire person is immersed in the power of the Corrupt Black, and seeing Bane is like a grandson seeing an ancestor, let the other party handle it.

His body was riddled with holes, and the massive yellow power of fear was almost crushing his bones, and the pain was so intense that he could hardly speak normally.

Originally, the operation to capture the Parallax Monster would not be so easy, but the Parallax Monster had been restrained by the methods taught by Mongo and Senisto with Carona and the First Lampman respectively, and it was too late to resist.

And Senisto next to him also had no green light just now, and reverted to the image of the yellow light, he just watched Bane's behavior of sucking the parallax monster back into the Deathstorm Matrix as if trying to stop it, but somehow didn't do so.

For Senist, a parallax monster enclosed in a container is actually better than a parallax monster running around outside, even if the container is a living person - or a living Mr. Skeleton.

"Interesting, Woe Rong."

At this moment, the first lightman heard Batman's voice.

"It's so interesting to see how much of a thing comes into play."

"What did you do? Batman? ”

The First Lampman asked.

He was about to say something, but then the manic voice rang in his ears again, and he felt the host he had controlled with the Ring struggling desperately, resisting himself with all his might.

This doesn't make sense.

"Poof, that's the fun part...... I didn't do anything. ”

The First Lightman briefly looked at the Ghost of Caronna as it fled outside. At this moment, the blue ghost condensed into Caronna's face, and then crashed into some kind of transparent barrier in the cosmic space not far away, scattering and flying like a bag full of vegetables that had fallen from the third floor.

Then he condensed his form again.

"Ah, didn't I mention it to you?" The First Beacon heard Batman say, "From Brainiac's position, in the past, our cosmic collectors would use this stance to dig them out of their home planet as if they were in an oversized glass bottle. Then he would make them smaller with a reduced light and take them in. Of course, these ...... alone"

Chen Tao said: "It's impossible to stop Carona. Even though it's only a part of his ghost power. ”

With Batman's voice, sure enough, despite not having any light rings in his hand at this time, the ghost of Caronna still used some method to summon green will energy out of thin air.

He controlled the green will energy to materialize a combination of a drill and a pile driver, trying to make a hole in the transparent barrier in front of him, but in the next second, he noticed a figure standing behind him.

Atohitas's eyes erupted with tears of blood that burned like flames.

Caronna turned to look at the other man.

Despite being in the state of a ghost, he took a deep breath, and then, after regaining his indifferent expression, he turned to look at Atohitas.

"666 sector?"

"That's right."

Silent.

"Nothing you want to say?"

"I wept for the destruction of your sector until the last tear was shed. In order to make my compatriots realize that beings without emotions cannot protect the universe, I had to make this decision. But no matter how many times, I will apologize for it. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm ......," said Caronna.

"Ahh

Immediately after that, Caronna let out a creepy scream, and Atohitas grabbed his ghost and tore him into millions of pieces, but because of the immortal soul that belonged to the Guardian of the Universe, this part of Caronna's ghost energy would not be so easily destroyed.

In the next moment, the red light energy helped Caronna's ghost power reshape his body, but the reason why Atohitas did it was only ......

Shred it up again.

"Caronna knew she couldn't run away." Chen Tao said.

He told the First Beacon, "But Caronna's body is imprisoned in a cosmic egg, so destroying these images of Caronna made of ghost energy in front of him can break Caronna's bones, but it can't really kill him." ”

"So in that case, there is no need to show a crying expression before death."

Chen Tao said: "But what surprised me was ...... He didn't take the initiative to give up this part of his ghost energy, so as to avoid the mental pain that Atohitas inflicted on him, but still maintained the connection with this piece of ghost energy, allowing Atohitas to vent his anger. ”

At this time, Batman actually stopped his hand and said to the first light man like a chatter: "What do you think is the reason for this?" ”

Without waiting for the first lightman to answer, Chen Tao replied by himself:

"Atositas is venting his anger, and Carona is venting his guilt. He punishes himself in this way and then looks for psychological compensation for himself. In this way, next time, he can accept with peace that he caused the 666 sector massacre, because he has already 'paid the price'. In the same way, the next time you face Atohitas......"

Chen Tao smiled.

"He can kill the killer without any guilt. Because he has 'leveled' with Atohitas. ”

For some reason, the first lightman didn't do anything at this time, and Senisto, who was not far away, was also strangely quiet at this time.

The two of them stood there quietly with Chen Tao, just watching as the blue ghost power was finally exhausted in the process of being torn apart by Atohitas, even if he tried to glue it with red light energy, he could no longer maintain his form, and finally slowly dissipated into the universe.

Together, they watched as Atohitas let out a deafening roar at the starry sky, and that roar contained indescribable sadness, like a homeless old wolf who had long since left his herd, roaring like a howl at the moon.

"How's your talk with Senisto?"

The first Lampman suddenly heard Batman ask.

"Did Senisto agree to your terms and decide to help you escape from my palm?"

The first lightman listened to Batman with a somewhat ugly face: "You have been whispering to him for so long, and you haven't even been able to convince the Senisto gang?" ”

He realized that he took advantage of Caronna's escape to attract the attention of the other party, and used the green will energy to quietly communicate and negotiate with Sinisto, Batman always knew, but he didn't care.

"I don't have a conflict with you, Batman." "I'm fundamentally different from a villain like Caronna or a cosmic dictator like Mongo. ”

"I'm from a parallel universe, my mother and I are both scientists, we discovered the spectrum of emotions, but then ......"

The first Lampman told his origin story, and finally he said to Chen Tao very sincerely: "I am different from a dangerous character like Caronna, and releasing it will only harm the universe, and I? ”

He said, "The only people I have a grudge against are the Guardians of the Universe, but they've been killed by you now. I have no one to take revenge on, so this grudge will be written off. All I need to do is find a way to forge the shuttle lamp again, and then I will leave your universe and re-enter the multiverse, and continue to find a way to turn back time and save my hometown. We'll keep the well water from the river, Batman. ”

The face of the First Lampman, which was made up of green will energy, showed a somewhat sad look: "I don't pose any threat to you, Batman. ”

"I ...... I just want to go home. ”

With a bang, his green head was knocked on by a toy miniature Batman, and he turned his head to see the ventriloquist holding a miniature baby bat in one hand, and another voice sounded in his head through the light ring: "Don't call the bat god by name!" To be called the great Batman master! ”

“……”

The first lamp wanted to take a deep breath, he had already seen that this coward he possessed was a madman, a split personality. The Ring of Power was an early work he forged, and there were too many problems and loopholes to exploit, but this was not the time to think about them.

"Big gall!" The baby bat in the ventriloquist's hand scolded, "You maggot! ”

And then he was there muttering something "rotten" over and over again, "Dog, you deserve it?" "Get on your knees!" Blasp or something, the first lightman ignored him.

He looked at Batman.

"I can help you, and I can give you so much more than you can imagine."

"No one in this universe knows the spectrum of emotions better than I do, not even ...... None of Carona. I was the first person to teach the spectrum of emotions to the Guardians of the Universe. ”

"I can also give you the heart of greatness, you know? That's what I made with the Guardians of the Universe......"

The first lantern man was saying his conditions, but Chen Tao shook his head slightly in his heart.

He's read the comics, and there's a reason why he doesn't plan to let go of the first Lamplight.

First, the first Beacon will not just let the Green Lantern Corps go. Although the Guardian of the Universe is destroyed, the Green Lantern Legion still exists, and he is so resentful that it is almost impossible not to attack the Green Lantern Legion.

Second, even if he put it down, he successfully created a shuttle light, and planned to leave this universe to go to other universes to continue looking for a way......

He will eventually return to this universe.

Because there is one thing that even the first lightman doesn't know at this time:

About the destruction of his homeland.

The First Lampman still doesn't know how his hometown was destroyed, he only knows that the Earth of his hometown Earth 15 was destroyed by a pulse of energy. Therefore, he wants to change the past and prevent the destruction of Earth15.

But how exactly can you stop it?

He had no clue.

But Chen Tao has read the comics, and he knows it.

The man who destroyed Earth15 is a villain named the Time Trapper.

In other words, if the first Lantern Man wants to prevent the destruction of his hometown, he must find a way to kill the [Time Trapper] in advance, so that he can achieve his goal.

So, who is the "Time Trapper"?

The answer may be a bit sad......

Because [Time Trapper] is the Supreme Superman, the Supreme Superman on a certain timeline in the future.

Well, if we don't mention the great power of the Supreme Superman, this situation alone is not a completely desperate thing for the first Lamplightman, but another serious problem is:

The existence of the character [Time Trapper] has long since become a bug left on the timeline in the DC universe, a person who does not exist.

In the storyline of "Final Crisis: Legion of the Three Realms", the future elderly Supreme Superman has become the ruler sitting at the end of time, but he is not satisfied with this, but intends to spread his rule into the past and invade that era of glory, the age of heroes.

Therefore, he takes advantage of the young Supreme Superman, intending to have him destroy the 31st-century superhero organization "Super Hero Legion".

All in all, after a series of battles and stories, Superman Supreme finally discovers that the Time Trapper is his future self, a discovery that makes Superman Supreme furious.

He refuses to believe that his future self has become such an old, twisted, disgusting, evil conspirator, he thinks that even if he kills and sets fires, destroying the universe is as easy as farting, but he is still a good boy, and his ultimate goal is to build a better world, when the time comes, his sins will be erased, not become a bad crunch like the time trapper.

So the Supreme Superman tried his best to give the Time Trapper a punch, and this punch directly caused the time paradox, because at this moment, the Supreme Superman rejected his fate of becoming the Time Trapper, and the Time Trapper disappeared from the timeline!

But that's too bad, the Time Trapper caused the destruction of Earth 15, the hometown of the First Lampman, so he traveled through the multiverse, which eventually led to the establishment of the Green Lantern Legion;

If the Time Trapper is gone, then the First Lantern Man will crouch to death in his hometown, and then the Green Lantern Corps will not be born;

The Green Lantern Legion will not be born, then the 31st century superhero legion will be directly gone, the story of "Final Crisis: Legion of the Three Realms" will not happen, this event will not happen, and the Supreme Superman will not reward the trapper with a big pocket, and then things will go back, the timeline will not match, and it will not be able to run.

What to do?

This bug can't be fixed no matter how it is rectified, and in the end the timeline is forced to be urgent: since it can't be fixed, then let it continue to run, anyway, as long as the first Lantern Hero is gone, the Green Lantern Corps will appear, then I will directly go to the history books of the years, keep the history of the destruction of the earth by the time trapper 15, and then let the Supreme Superman no longer decide to become the time trapper one day, so doesn't all this make sense?

So this is the result now, everything else has been circled back by the timeline, the timeline is stable, DC's story can continue, only the world where the first Lantern Man's hometown was bombed was born.

So for the first Lamplightman, the trapper who blew up his hometown has become a non-existent person, if he wants to say it, it is the future, or he doesn't know which corner of the timeline The Supreme Superman did what the original trapper should do, and then suddenly patted his head "People don't want to be trapped at that time" and then patted his ass and left, the main thing is a Supreme Superman in Schrödinger's state.

Deter?

Block the air.

You don't know what timeline the Supreme Superman destroyed his hometown, how to stop it?

(Note: In fact, it was the Supreme Superman during the "Countdown to the Final Crisis" that destroyed Earth 15.) After the major event "The War of the Senisto Legion", he was defeated by the Guardian of the Universe using self-detonation, exiled to the infinite multiverse, and then accidentally wandered to Earth15, and then destroyed an Earth in a fit of anger)

Therefore, everything that the first lightman is chasing is destined to be a tragedy.

He's chasing a non-existent pseudo-person, he's struggling to find someone who has long since been erased by the timeline, like looking for the remnants of pencil handwriting on a piece of paper that has been erased by an eraser.

Especially since this remnant has long been covered by new pencil notes, and the first Lampman is even more unlikely to be able to find it.

But even so......

But woe is still not without the opportunity to create a new paradox:

For example, he can find a way to prevent the birth of the Green Lantern Legion, without the Green Lantern Legion, then there will be no Superhero Army, and without the Superhero Army, the Supreme Superman will not attack the Time Trapper, then the Time Trapper will continue to exist.

Then it would be possible for him to slaughter the Fallen One and save his homeland.

But how messy would the timeline be without the Green Lantern Corps?

This is not something that the First Beacon would be concerned about, so the dispute between the First Beacon and the Green Lantern is inherently impossible to reconcile.

Let him go back into the multiverse and continue to find a way, he will find out about these things sooner or later, and then come back to trouble the Green Lantern Legion.

This kind of behavior is essentially the return of the tiger to the mountain, so for Chen Tao, it is safer for the first lightman to be an otaku quietly in the Shadow Cabinet.

"I can not only provide you with the spectrum of emotions, but also help you maintain order in this universe, as long as it is ......"

The first lantern man was still giving his own conditions, but Chen Tao interrupted him with a complicated expression.

He did sympathize with what happened to the First Lampman, but ......

There was no way he could have watched the First Beacon destroy the Green Lantern Legion, and then destroy the entire timeline.

So......

"Why? Why not? ”

The first lantern man was slightly silent for a while, he looked at Chen Tao's expression under the mask and understood what he meant.

He asked in a deep voice, "I need a reason, it's obviously a win-win situation for both of us." Why refuse? ”

Chen Tao looked at him.

He just watched, watched, and thought for a while.

Eventually, he made a decision.

"It's fun." He said to the First Lamplighter, "Because I just want to say no to the self-righteous people." ”

He said to the first lightman who was already trembling with these two words, "That's why I rejected you. ”

It's better for you to hate me than to hate the Green Lantern Corps, hate the whole world, hate the entire timeline, woe ......

Compared to understanding everything and trying your best to reverse the past, but in the end you were defeated by everyone, and you were tormented by the tragedy of life.......

It's better to be confused and not know anything.

For you, me, and all the innocents who may be affected by the havoc you have unleashed—

It's better.
