Chapter 496 42. It’s so dangerous to drive away wolves and tigers. I think it’s better to kill the wolves, tigers and leopards together
"The Laughing Bat will appear at any time, and I even suspect that he has already advanced his unknown but definitely evil plan in Gotham.
Although the members of the Dark Knights were defeated one after another, their raging dark minions had delayed the top heroes.
Super, Cyborg, and Diana have all been dragged away. Flash has to stay on the cosmic treadmill for emergencies. Reinforcements from all walks of life have to be dispersed to hotspots around the world to quell chaos, and they have to escape from the Phantom Zone. The troublemakers who came out were also causing trouble everywhere.
I have every reason to think that this was all part of Laughter's plan.
We are winning again and again.
But we are getting weaker and weaker. This is his plan. We will continue to lose blood due to continuous victories. If this continues until the final battle, we will not have enough strength to deal with the possible conquerors and liquidators.
He can no longer be allowed to continue his activities. ”
On the way to the place where the lantern fell, Mason contacted the master, and he said in a serious tone:
"How long will it take for you and the Final Knight to hunt down the Laughing Man?"
The master was silent and did not answer. After a moment, he said:
"He has captured the life signal of the Laughing Bat. He does not know what he is doing in the center of Gotham. We have already set off to get there.
This may be another trap, but I promise, Mason.
He will no longer interfere with this war. ”
The determination in Batman's words made Mason take a deep breath.
He knew that the master had made up his mind, so he said nothing more and just warned:
"I will ensure that the decisive battle between you will not be subject to any external interference. I will find a way to deal with the other members of the Dark Knights. This is the last hurdle.
Once they are defeated, the warlock will really have nothing left to do. ”
"Well, see you after the war."
The master said goodbye.
Mason felt in his heart that this was an ominous flag, so after hanging up the phone, he quickly dialed the old man's number, but was never able to get through.
Mason guessed that the old couple would definitely not let Batman fight Laughing alone.
But it was not easy for him to get involved in the Wayne family's affairs, so he called Barbara again. As soon as he got through, he heard Batgirl's scream:
"Ah, my brain is going to explode! I have upgraded the frontal cortex RAM cache to the highest capacity, but why can't I still withstand the data redundancy of this chair?
Mason!
Your chair is making my head explode. ”
"Are you not allowed to turn on safe mode?"
Mason scolded:
"Don't just connect to the database of the Möbius Chair. It's a search program prepared for intelligence of Brainiac's level. You are really willing to die.
Mobius chair!
Switch to the assisted invasion mode, the data signal amplifier operates at full capacity, and the enemy tracking program is started! Search the entire network for data streams of killing machines and lock down global nuclear weapons launch programs. ”
"Instruction received."
The calm mechanical sound of the Mobius chair sounded, and in the next few seconds, Barbara's slightly excited voice also echoed in Mason's ears:
"This thing is awesome. I feel like my consciousness now is like Buttermos or Ultra, freely traveling in the online world and so on!
I saw him!
Killing machine!
The signal has been locked, and the remote cracking program has been started. I won’t tell you anymore. Brother, leave this guy to me. I have to take it away from you with my dignity as a hacker.”
"If you can't beat them, remember to shake them."
Mason said to Barbara quietly:
"The Mobius Chair and the Godly Space have an encrypted network protocol, which is specifically used to trick people. The activation authority has been delegated to you. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Understood!"
Barbara replied, and then the communication between the two was forcibly interrupted amidst a harsh busy tone. It was obvious that the killing machine had hacked into the communication.
He said to Mason in Batman's unique hoarse voice combined with a cold electronic sound:
"I got you! Mason Cooper."
"But I don't have any electronic equipment on me that can be remotely activated by you to explode, so give up."
Mason yawned and responded:
"I heard that Alfred, who you made into an artificial intelligence, performed a transformation surgery on you. He used the black technology of the Mother Box to strip away your fear and sadness, and completely reshaped you from mind to flesh and blood.
< br>
Sounds cool, man, do you think you're the most powerful Batman? ”
"I'm not."
The killing machine replied coldly:
"But I can confirm that your life has entered the countdown, the coordinate information is sent, and the capture processing process is transferred to the Daybreak Light authority! Mason, when I capture Barbara Gordon's mind, I will allow you to hear it with your own ears Your eldest sister-in-law’s dying sobs”
"Not a bad threat, I'll give you two points, then listen to me."
Mason retorted:
"When Barbara pulls out your electronic brain that regains fear, I will send you to where you should go with a smile. Friendly reminder, not hell.
Don't have too many beautiful illusions about your destiny.
End of communication, bastard! ”
He turned off the communicator and stopped the ongoing flash of water, finally stopping in the ruins of the original Arkham Asylum on the outskirts of Gotham City.
In front of Mason's eyes were all the Lanterns of the Will wearing Green Lantern uniforms.
From their strange appearance, it is not difficult to tell that these guys are warriors from the Green Lantern Corps.
They should be warriors summoned by Hal Jordan of this world to defend the Earth, and from this point alone Mason should maintain due respect for them.
Although the current state of these lanterns is really difficult to respect.
Everyone was seriously injured and on the verge of death.
This is the result of someone sealing the power of the light ring from outer space and then throwing it into the earth. However, these guys have experienced the orbital fall and have not yet fallen to death, which has proven that they are powerful.
Mason wasted no time, squatted down and started bandaging the lantern in front of him.
These are all aliens!
Their life structures are completely different from those on Earth, and providing first aid to them can effectively push Mason's stagnant first aid skills to the next stage.
He was already familiar with this job, and it didn't take him long to save the lanterns in front of him from near death. The information about improving first aid skills that popped up on the character card made people happy.
Of course there are also less pleasant things.
For example, just when Mason was busy giving first aid to the last female lantern, a guy danced and screamed and fell from a high altitude and hit Mason in the back.
He looked back and was happy.
Yo, isn't this Hal? Long time no see.
"Which Hal are you from?"
Mason asked:
"You two look exactly the same, even I can't tell you apart."
"I am our Hal!"
The disgraced Green Lantern was so beaten that he got up and looked at the flickering on his finger like a light ring with poor contact, and then raised his head and looked up at the sky with a bitter look on his face.
There was another Green Lantern fighting with a guy who dressed very "non-mainstream" and used green light to shape everything, but the other Hal was obviously unable to resist.
Mainly because the opponent is weird.
That guy can summon an illusion of the Parallax Demon level at will to join the attack, and every move he makes is full of oppression, and his methods are deadly and efficient.
His fighting style is completely different from other lanterns. His attacks are fatal attacks that are hard to guard against. If he is hit once, he will suffer for a long time.
"You two have been entangled with Dawn's Creepy Lantern for so long and yet you haven't beaten him down?"
Mason pushed the frame and said to Hal next to him:
"Isn't this a bit too mean? Aren't you the greatest Lantern?"
"Huh? The greatest?"
Hal was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands humbly and said:
"I want to be the greatest Lantern, but I'm actually just a newcomer. You should be talking about Hal Jordan from other dimensions, like this guy you brought from another world.
< br>
Much better than me. ”
"Oh, you turn out to be a rookie in this world."
Mason snorted, popped out a cigarette, and took out the deluminator to start a fire. Then he glanced at the battle situation in the sky. Hal No. 2, who was wearing green light armor, was struggling to fight and seemed to be unable to handle it.
"Do me a favor, Hal."
Mason blew out a smoke ring and said to Hal beside him:
"Call Sinestro over here. I know he is on Earth. You have dealt with him before, right?"
"Huh?"
Mason's request made Hal's eyes widen, and he said:
"The Dread Lantern attacked me and the other Hal before. He was from the Legion of Doom! The Dread Lantern Batman had plotted against him before. Just when he was suppressing the two of us... Ahem, I mean During the fierce struggle between him and us, he was injured
I guess he's run away. ”
"You must have a basic understanding of the vengeful heart of the fearful."
Mason shook his head and stared at the battle between Hal 2 and the Daybreak Light above his head. He knew that the blackened Batman had already targeted him, and now as long as Hal 2 was dealt with, he would immediately pounce on him and kill him.
When they had previous contact with the Red Death, the Drowning Wraith, and the Killing Machine, they all revealed an important piece of information. The Laughing Bat seemed to be planning to capture Mason alive.
This should be an important mission for the Dark Knights.
"Boom"
Just as Mason was thinking, a gray-green energy transformed into a gray-white illusion of the wrathful Lord Atrocitas and roared towards him. The Dawn Trick Lamp had already launched an attack on him.
But Mason didn't move.
The burning hellfire exploded in front of him, and the demonized Fenrir, the loyal vehicle, tore through the flames and strode out, punching the strange illusion.
Seeing an illusory alien being unable to suppress Mason, the Dawn Breaking Lantern above drew out more power and projected the Parallax Demon with its teeth and claws to attack him again.
Mason still didn't move.
Kevin, who was carrying a big gourd on his shoulders, knew that the time for his appearance had arrived, so he jumped down with a cry and pulled out the stopper of the gourd. He manipulated the magic mud to turn into all the heroes of the main and Avengers alliances and rushed forward to fight the Parallax Demon. attack.
"Contact him, Hal, we don't have much time left."
The calm Mason dropped the half-smoked cigarette butt on the ground and urged:
"Even though I'm calm now, I can't continue to deal with an evil lantern who can summon various illusions of will to deliver a fatal blow.
I have a way to deal with him. If I can win with one blow, I will need the help of the Dread Lamp. ”
Hal was not very willing, because the Green Lantern Corps and the Yellow Lantern Corps had never been friends, but he looked at his fellow Lanterns lying on the ground and thought of the latter's miraculous weirdness when they surrounded the Dawn Lantern in the outer space. Ability, destroying so many lanterns in an instant is enough to prove that this guy is the nemesis of all lanterns.
He didn't know Mason very well, but Hal No. 2 was convinced by him. Everyone was Hal and there was no need to deceive each other. Therefore, at this critical moment, Hal Jordan, a rookie, finally decided to take a risk.
He used his green lantern ring, which was still flashing, to call out a hand-cranked telephone, and quickly contacted the Dread Lantern Sinestro across the globe through the special connection between the emotional spectrums.
The other party naturally refused to come to help.
The main reason was that he had personally seen the terrifying suppressive power of the Dawn Lantern on the Lantern Ring in outer space before, and he did not feel that he could reverse the situation by coming here.
Mason grabbed the microphone from Hal's hand and said to the other side:
"Lex Luthor is almost out of business. Sinestro, you have to leave yourself some way out and see what the forces sent by the stars are doing. Do you think they will give you a good life after they take power?
Of course, I know that as a cosmic-level force, you have a tacit understanding not to participate in earth affairs, but I might as well tell you honestly that this tacit understanding will soon be broken.
You now have a chance to reselect your faction.
I won’t let your work go in vain. After Dawn’s sneaky lantern is caught, his unique lantern ring will be yours! ”
"Deal!"
Mason didn't care much about what Sinestro had said before, but this latter condition was the only one that touched Uncle Sinestro's desire.
With that weird light ring in hand that can extinguish all light rings, his fearful light group sweeping other light groups will no longer be an almost fantasy goal.
You can even go to the planet Oa and have a fun and exciting bug-shooting day at those damn little blue men who almost ruined everything!
The two sides reached an agreement, and soon a yellow stream of light lit up in the sky.
Uncle Seth, an old silver coin, said he was not interested, but in fact he had been hiding near Gotham and closely observing the traces of the midnight lantern.
As the greatest Green Lantern ever, although he has now changed his career, he is different from Hal, a rookie. His experienced experience tells him that he must be vigilant when dealing with that special ring.
"So, what's the plan of action?"
Hal moved his body and prepared to step forward to counterattack the Daybreak Lantern. He looked at Mason to ask about the plan, but found that Mason threw him two cold, shiny silver-gray N metal limited edition "Bat Bracelets", and then raised his hands. The beautiful lighter turned to give him a meaningful smile.
The next moment, Mason pulled the ignition button of the deluminator.
This baby from Dumbledore's ability to rewrite reality was activated, and all the light sources surrounding Mason with Mason as the center suddenly went out at this moment.
Of course, it also includes three sparkling light rings on top of the head.
That thing shines with a different kind of light through the emotional spectrum. It is an "artificial light source" and is naturally within the range of the Deluminator.
Although for a cosmic weapon like the Lantern Ring, even if it is extinguished, it only takes a few seconds, but for the Lantern, who relies on the Lantern Ring for all his power, these few seconds of turning off the lights are also an extremely terrifying scene.
Under the shocked gaze of Hal 1, Hal 2, Daybreak Lantern and Sinestro fell from the sky while dancing and dancing like they were holding hands on each other.
Having lost his Lantern Ring, the Lantern can only rely on his own force to fight.
Hal No. 2 was once a pilot, and he didn't have much courage.
The moment he fell, he pounced on the neck of the equally shocked Li Xiaodeng, punched him hard, and knocked out several of the latter's teeth in a few blows.
The latter didn't even react.
Alas, this is really strange!
In the past, he was the one who extinguished other people's lantern rings, but when he was suddenly attacked by others and extinguished the lanterns, he was at a loss what to do. He could only fight with Hal with his bastard fist in the air.
But Uncle Sai is so good!
As soon as he saw that his light ring was also extinguished, he immediately realized that Mason didn't need his help at all when he called him over.
This bastard is planning to fight rabbits and solve two problems at once!
Damn it!
Are all young people on earth so confident today?
Look at this smooth conspiracy and trick being performed instinctively, no wonder Luther lost so miserably in front of him!
As a veteran waiter, Uncle Sai immediately opened his arms and let his suit carry him gliding outward like a flying squirrel suit. However, the sound of gunfire from below completely shattered Uncle Sai's dream of escape.
Mason's precise shooting skills sent six weak bullets into his limbs, and the powerful impact made him roll in the air.
And the moment those mutated illusions created by the twisted light ring dissipated, the demonized Fenrir armor rushed into the sky in blazing flames, waving its burning mechanical tentacles to grab Uncle Sai and the Daybreak Lantern and throw them to the ground. Wen cheered as he absorbed all the mud and gathered it into a huge mud ball, swallowing the two guys into it.
Breaking Dawn is still planning to struggle.
But when he landed, Hal No. 1 pounced on him and slapped his hands on N metal bracelets. Mason stepped forward and took out a fear grenade from his waist while his windbreaker was flying. He unplugged it and stuffed it into his mouth.
Dark green compressed nerve gas poured into the body.
Those forgotten memories suddenly stirred up, his eyes became frightened and panicked, and even the light ring on his finger began to scream.
"You are the coolest and weakest of all Batmans. Other Batmans can eat these fear gases as bedtime dessert, but you can't."
Mason grabbed his weird bat helmet, forced him to look into his eyes, and said in a deep voice:
"Every other Batman has overcome their fear and accepted it as a part of themselves. Only you, with your strong will, failed to overcome your fear and just forced yourself to forget it.
That night in Crime Alley, dead parents, bloody hands
Those shadows have enveloped you and allowed you to release fear to others with your will. You should have been a better messenger of fear than Uncle Seth, but do you know why the Yellow Lantern Ring didn't choose you?
You wretch who gave in to fear, I refuse to recognize you as Batman! ”
Mason took off the weird, cracked light ring from the opponent's finger, and then glanced at Sinestro, who had his yellow light ring removed by Hal and put N metal handcuffs on him, closing his eyes and waiting to die.
He put the lights-out ring in front of him for inspection. After getting the complete drawing, he threw the ring in his hand and said to the Lord of Fear:
"This thing is just a collectible to me, but you seem to really want it, and you are willing to risk being killed for it, so do you want to make a deal? Uncle Sai.
You may not believe it, but I favor you fearwalkers among all the lamps. I can give it to you, but I need you to do me a favor.
Don't worry, it's not in this war, it's almost over.
I mean, the next war." (End of Chapter)
