Chapter 2380: Psychic Assault (Thirty-Five)
When Harley, Elsa and Barry landed again from the Speed Force, they saw only monsters all over the city.
"Oh my god." Harley exclaimed: "What the hell is going on???"
"Yeah, is this Gotham? Why are there so many monsters invading Gotham???"
"That's not what I'm wondering about." Harley said impatiently, "What I'm wondering about is why all these monsters are fucking green."
Barry immediately turned around and glared at her. Harley said, "Don't act like it's new that Gotham is full of monsters. There are two doubts now. The first is why these monsters are green, and the second is why the group of people in the middle are also green."
As Harley pointed to a corner of the city, Barry discovered that there was a group of people there. Just as Harley said, these people were green like these monsters.
"Could it be the Green of Everything?" Barry had only seen this green monster before. He said, "What about Pamela? How could she watch the Green of Everything invade Gotham?"
"Of course she won't, which means this isn't the Green of All Things." Harley said, "The Green of All Things is the will of plants. When he appeared before, everything that was manifested by his power was plants, but now in Gotham City..."
Barry and Aisha looked carefully and found that there were indeed no plants in the city, not even vines. These monsters were basically in the form of various terrible animals, with tall bodies, thick limbs and bloody mouths.
"Wait." Aisha suddenly said, "Something's wrong."
Her vertical pupils flashed a golden light, and with a whoosh, the hazy gray-green light that enveloped everyone's eyes dissipated.
"This is Green Lantern." Aisha said, "This city is filled with Green Lantern energy, and these monsters are all created by Green Lantern rings. But this Green Lantern energy is a bit strange, and it's hard to explain."
They both looked at her. Aisha closed her eyes and felt it carefully before saying, "It's completely different from the green light of willpower that I felt from Hal. There are too many impurities mixed in with his emotions."
"There are traces." Harry said, "That's why I didn't think it was the light from the lantern ring at first. This thing is almost turning dark green. Doesn't the lantern group care?"
"I'm afraid the ones below are the lights." Aisha's eyes were fixed on the group of green people.
It is not accurate to say that they are people. There are indeed humanoid creatures of different heights, weights and shapes inside, but they are different from ordinary humans. There are also many non-human creatures, including cones with a bunch of tentacles growing underneath, a big blue bowling ball head floating in the air, and things that look like dromedary sharks and mung bean sprouts.
At this time, this group of people were surrounded by layers of monsters, constantly dealing with fierce attacks from all directions, but it can be seen that they were out of strength and overwhelmed, and it seemed that they were not far from being killed.
"We have to go down and help them." Barry said a little anxiously.
"Don't be impatient." Harley stopped Barry and said, "Since it is a monster made of Green Lantern energy, and Green Lantern energy is generated by the Lantern Ring, which must be controlled by someone, this means there must be an out-of-control Green Lantern in this city. Before he shows up, we can't show up easily."
Barry nodded. In terms of tactics, he still trusted Harley more. And he could tell from the appearance of these monsters that this Green Lantern was probably very completely corrupted. If his group of people were exposed early, he would definitely choose to kill them.
By then, they will be in the light and the enemy will be in the dark, and the situation will become quite unfavorable. If they keep their troops in place and wait for the other side to show up, the situation will be completely reversed.
"He absolutely can't help it." Harley said, "I've heard Hal mention that almost every Green Lantern has a complicated relationship with the Lantern Corps. They serve the Lantern Corps, but they don't obey them completely. Some even have the opposite philosophy to that of the Lantern Corps, believing that the will of the emotional spectrum should be free and should not be used as a tool by anyone."
Barry looked at Elsa. He didn't know Elsa's specific origin, but he knew that this little girl had a close connection with the lantern group and the emotional spectrum.
"The emotional spectrum has no direct relationship with the light cluster." Aisha said, "There is a spectrum without the light cluster, but there is no light cluster without the spectrum."
"So who organized the Lantern Group?" Barry asked.
Aisha shook her head and said, "My memory of this is not very clear. Most of it is hazy and chaotic. The energy gathered by the lights is delicious. Maybe I will have a chance to enjoy it this time."
"Their situation is getting worse and worse." Barry frowned and said in a low voice, "It seems that they are no match for these monsters. I wonder to what extent this Green Lantern has fallen to manifest so many monsters."
"He shows up," Harry said. "Look at that figure standing on the dragon over there."
Barry and Elsa followed her gaze to the distant sky. A pair of huge fluttering wings swept through the air, almost instantly destroying the Green Lantern Corps' air defense line.
There was a figure standing on top of the dragon, looking extremely strong and burly, but when the dragon passed over Elsa and the others, Harry uttered a doubtful "Huh?"
"What's wrong?" Barry asked.
Harry opened his mouth, as if in disbelief, but he still said, "Look at his face."
The three of them looked at the figure above the dragon. He was wearing a green tights that was common among Green Lanterns, but he was not wearing a mask, and he had black hair and blue eyes.
It's not unreasonable to say that the Hal Jordan of this universe happens to have this hair and eye color, but Elsa, the living control group, is standing right here. The person on the dragon's head can't be said to be completely different from Elsa, but can only be said to be 80% similar.
"Bruce Wayne???" They called out his name in unison.
"This is troublesome." Barry took a breath and said, "Green Lantern Batman or Bat-Green Lantern? Batman who can use the power of Green Lantern, how are we going to deal with him?"
"On the contrary." Harley smiled, "Whether it's Green Lantern Batman or Bat-Green Lantern, dealing with him is much easier than dealing with Batman or Green Lantern."
"Why?" Barry asked.
"What do you think is the most difficult part about dealing with Batman? Well, I know you haven't thought about dealing with Batman, but I have. I can't say he's uncontrollable, but there's always danger, so I think about it from time to time."
Harley said: "The most difficult thing about Batman is that he is too cautious. Not only does he carefully observe the situation and understand others, but he also carefully controls himself. He will never use any power beyond his control."
"You may think that the equipment he made is exaggerated, but I can guarantee that it is the most conservative version of the equipment he can make. For him, there is not the slightest danger. If it were not so, he would not use it."
"This kind of opponent is the most troublesome, because it is almost impossible to expect him to make mistakes, but most games are about creating various opportunities for the opponent to make mistakes, which makes Batman almost invincible."
"But even if this Batman hasn't completely lost his mind, he's not far off." Harley shook her head and said, "A Batman who is not crazy would not want to use the power of the lantern ring. They know the nature of this power."
"What is it?" Barry asked.
"When you put on the Green Lantern ring, are you or the Green Lantern?" Harley asked a question in return.
"Uh, why do you ask that?" Barry was a little confused. He said, "I have gained super speed, but I am still me."
"Because people like you won't think about this question, but Batman is the exact opposite of you. This question is very important to people like Batman and me."
"Of course I'm not saying that green light energy will directly control or brainwash others, but you must be clear that when you gain a powerful force and get used to using it, your way of thinking and your code of conduct will definitely change."
"After all, you can easily change reality, so why go through so much trouble to make a plan? In the long run, will you really still make plans? After you start making plans again, will you be able to consider all aspects?"
"Power can reshape a person and make him completely unlike his former self, but it's not a fair trade, and the Lantern Ring is especially unfair."
"Because if you rely on the power that the Lantern Ring brings you, you will be shaped and lose your caution and wisdom. However, the energy of the Lantern Ring is not under your control. It belongs to the emotional spectrum first, and then to the Lantern Group. They can take back this power at any time."
"Once his powers are gone, he will have nothing to fall back on. In addition to no longer being a Green Lantern, he will no longer be Batman, because the wisdom he once prided himself on has long been devoured by years of mindless habits."
Harley sighed softly and said, "That is to say, the earlier this Bat-Green Lantern becomes a Green Lantern, the easier he is to deal with. Because even if he originally had the same superior intelligence as other Batmen, he has long since relied on Green Lantern energy and has little left."
"Really?" Barry asked doubtfully.
"When have you ever seen Batman show up in such a high-profile manner?" Harley asked back.
Barry was speechless. At least the Batman he knew would rather not show up throughout the whole process except when he was performing certain performances, making people think that this plan had nothing to do with him.
Even if he has to show up, he will definitely find a suitable position for himself. If he can disguise himself, he will disguise himself. If he can't disguise himself, he will definitely stand behind a large group of teammates. In Bruce's words, if he takes a step forward, it will be disrespectful to his opponent's ability to launch a surprise attack.
Barry actually thought that although it was cool to stand on the dragon's head and walk around, from a strategic point of view, what was the difference between this and being a sitting target.
If nothing unexpected happens, he should let the dragon stop on the heads of the Green Lantern Corps, mock the group of people below, tell them that they are doomed to die, and then kill them.
"Will Batman really mock his opponent?" Barry expressed disbelief. He said: "Any Batman I know would like to imagine his opponent as God."
As a result, the giant dragon flew over the heads of the Green Lantern Corps with a whoosh, then made an extremely flexible sharp turn and landed with its wings flapping.
"Stop it! Wayne!" A purple-skinned giant in the lead shouted, "You can't use green light energy to do such evil things. It will destroy the entire universe. Stop it now."
"Evil?" Green Lantern Batman snorted and said, "Where were you when the real evil things happened in this universe?"
"Those who have suffered irreversible tragedies like me should just accept it and abide by the rules you set? I'm afraid that the green light energy that you always claim to be righteous recognizes me more than you do."
"That's impossible." A sharp female voice retorted.
"Really?" Green Lantern Batman sneered, and the moment he raised his hand, all the lights went out with a swish.
