Far faster than light, Senisto's legion crossed the galaxy and made its way through warped passages to the planet known as the Solar System, where space junk and debris whizzed through portholes.

Hank Henshaw, now a mechanical superman, sits on his throne, looking through the porthole at the blue planet floating in space, once considered his home. This was the place where he had been, and he was willing to pay whatever it took to come back here.

But the past is like smoke, and now that he has returned, he no longer has such eagerness. The only thing that fills his mind now is the end. So close, so reverently did he hope that it would come true.

"The time has come."

The yellow light wrapped around Senesto and slowly descended, and said lightly.

Mecha Superman got up and came to his side.

"As you know, there may be some homegrown 'superheroes' on Earth." "We have an absolute advantage in our forces, but we must not be careless.

They had defeated the Apocalypse Stars, and although there were only a handful of them, some of them were not to be underestimated. ”

"I don't need you to remind me of that." Mechanical superhumane.

"Ha, I almost forgot, you came out of this little ball of mud. Okay, don't forget about your work. ”

The ship's cabin opened, and the mechanical superman flew out of the battleship first. Countless robot hunters followed, like a swarm of metal locusts.

Senisto's ideal was to bring order to the universe, and he believed that the only way to make it last was through fear. But Hank Henshaw disagreed, believing that there was no such thing as perfection in this world. As long as everything exists, it will be full of defects. The only perfection is nothingness.

Hank doesn't trust his allies, and although they come together, they all have different goals. The only people Hank really believes in this team are the robot hunters who follow him.

Machine hunters are born to be perfect soldiers. The Guardians have built them into emotionless machines, eternally devoted and unpassionate. Hank decided that it was ideal, and now that he was a machine, the only difference was the curse of keeping the memories of the past. He was seeking liberation.

Mecha Superman has locked on to the primary target, the Justice League Watchtower, which is currently the most advanced space station on Earth and funded by Wayne Group, located in Earth's orbit.

"Remember your plan." Mecha Superman said indifferently, "The action will begin in ten minutes. ”

"Roger, Grandmaster." The machine hunters responded in unison, "No one can escape the machine hunters. ”

He didn't say anything more. The robot hunters were scattered, and the technology supported by Blainiac allowed them to completely fool the watchtower's radar before the operation began.

And until then, Auto Superman wants to be alone for a while.

He left the group and flew off to Earth, landing in a graveyard in Seaside City.

The place where his wife was buried.

Even he didn't know why he was here. In the past, when he returned to Earth, he was only full of thoughts about revenge on Superman and seeking justice for his wife. But now he doesn't care anymore.

He reached out, and the metal tentacles reached into the graveyard, overturned the tombstone, and dragged out the corpse of the woman covered in dirt and corroded beyond recognition, and took it in his arms.

"I've tried, Terri." He whispered, "I was crushed, melted, and broken into dust." But even then, I barely reached the brink of life and death.

I used to feel injustice for you, but now I only envy you, Terri, for dying so easily.

Maybe I'm going to succeed this time, and maybe I'll be with you again soon. But I don't want to see you, and I don't miss your touch or your temperature anymore. No, now I just wish this was over sooner."

As he spoke, he yelled, and with a single stroke of his arms tore his wife's body in half, as if it would tear her image out of his tormented mind.

"All the memories, all the curses, all to this day!"

At this moment, the contact of the robot hunters rang in his ears: "All units are in place, Grandmaster." ”

"Good." Hank Henshaw said, "So now. Let's get started! ”

Surface track, Justice League watchtower.

"You know, you don't necessarily have to be on duty."

Martian Manhunter said to Batman.

"I know you have a lot of business to do in Gotham, and that you don't have as much travel to Gotham and the Watchtower as most of us."

Batman turned his head to look at him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say," Rong said.

"It doesn't matter." Batman said lightly, "I don't have superpowers, but that doesn't mean anything. Speaking of which, did Jordan not report this time? ”

"Probably a matter for the Green Lantern Corps, you know he's not always on Earth." Rong said.

Batman sat in front of the console, looked at the readings in the watchtower and frowned, "Gravity readings are wrong. There is something larger than the mass of the moon that is pulling, but nothing is seen on the radar"

His pupils suddenly shrank, as if the detective's instinct had made him realize that something was wrong.

"Eun, sound the alarm!" "We've been attacked!" ”

Rumble!!!

The impact of the explosion from nowhere, and the entire watchtower began to tremble. Flames and black smoke rose up and down the sealed chamber.

"Activate the emergency shield," Rong En reacted immediately, "activate the counterattack protocol." ”

The outer shield of the watchtower rises, and a barrier of energy envelops the space station inside. Dense rays of light poured in from all directions, ripples of impact constantly blooming along the barrier, and the integrity of the light rapidly fell at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Looking out the window, they saw the identity of the comer. It's robots, a large army of machines, and at some point they have formed an encirclement around the watchtower.

"It's in the report data provided by Green Lantern." Rong En said, "It's a machine hunter. Contact reinforcements, I'll go and delay their rhythm first. ”

Saying that, the Martian Manhunter had become blurred and transparent, walked out of the watchtower through the wall, and flew towards the sky-filled machine.

"The Justice League urgently called all the members, the watchtower was attacked, and it is estimated that it may fall within three minutes at the earliest." Batman said, "All members, wherever you are.

We are facing an interstellar war. ”

"Earth!?"

The moment Hal received the news, he almost bounced straight out of his seat.

"Senisto's goal is the Earth? But why?? ”

Up to this point, everyone was still full of the belief that Senisto's target must be O'A, and the entire legion was assembled and ready for battle. Who would have thought that he would be eyeing such an inconspicuous little place?

At this moment, a strong green glow bloomed from the central fortress. The entire Guardian Council slowly flew out of the green light, floating in the air under the gaze of all the Green Lanterns.

"This only shows that Senisto has discovered a secret that we have hidden in the Book of Europe, a secret that concerns the safety of the entire universe."

One of the Guardians said lightly.

"He discovered why the Earth is the most important place."

"Why?" Hal asked.

"I believe this is not the best time to explain this, Jordan the Lampman." The Guardian glanced at him and raised his voice, "All Green Lantern listens.

We are facing terrible fear, and we have suffered great losses. There were quite a few casualties, and the Green Lantern Corps was greatly challenged.

The Senisto Legion had no mercy, they were intoxicated with the pain they inflicted. Now that they are eyeing Planet Earth for some important reason, we will not let them succeed.

But in order to win this war, the Green Lantern Corps need to make changes. To this end, we have rewritten the Book of Eua. The new Ten Decrees have been synced to all Green Lanterns' Rings of Light. The first of these."

The mark of the Ring of Light was reflected in the eyes of all the Guardians.

For the first time in billions of years, we will lift the deadly force restrictions of the Green Lantern Ring. Now the Ring of Light has been authorized to use lethal force, so the Green Lanterns. Do what you have to do. ”
