Chapter 385 The Innately Evil Little Blue Man...
To be honest, Chen Tao felt a little embarrassed.
He had initially considered that Sinestro might not believe him, so he specially replicated Deathstorm's Yellow Lantern ring, intending to impersonate a member of the Yellow Lantern Legion to speak with Sinestro. His plan was to then tell Sinestro that Deathstorm was under orders from Mongo to assassinate him, hoping to gain his favor and establish initial trust before…
But for some reason, he seems to have created a real uncanny valley effect for Sinestro by running away. What's going on?
Chen Tao chased after Sinestro as he flew into the sky. When the Green Lantern Corps members around him saw that Sinestro had taken away their central energy battery, their eyes turned red, and they all used their Lantern Rings to intercept him.
To prevent himself from being intercepted by members of the Green Lantern Corps, Chen Tao hurriedly removed his yellow lantern ring and transformed into Green Lantern Batman, leaving the Green Lantern, who was about to attack, completely bewildered.
Green Lantern was stunned, but a Yellow Lantern Legion member who flew over from the side was not.
He saw a Green Lantern closely following behind his most respected Lord Sinestro, seemingly trying to stop him from taking the Green Lantern's central power battery, so he raised his ring, intending to give the Green Lantern a hard blow.
But to his utter surprise, upon seeing his attack, the Green Lantern was enveloped in a flash of silver particles, then pulled out a Yellow Lantern ring from his pocket and brazenly put it on right in front of him, instantly transforming into a Yellow Lantern. The Yellow Lantern Legion, who were about to make their move, were stunned and unsure of what to do next.
He and the Green Lantern next to him, who had also almost started a fight, looked at each other, and then suddenly, almost simultaneously, they began to attack each other with materialized attacks and a barrage of lasers.
We don't know which legion that belongs to, but we just need to figure out the one in front of us.
Having successfully evaded attacks from two groups of Light Squad members, Chen Tao hurriedly approached Sinestro, who was in flight: "You can't release Parallax; you can't control him. Once Parallax has a specific target to possess, he will instantly become one of the most powerful combatants in the entire universe."
At that point, it will be unclear who will ultimately control the Seneca Legion.
……
……
……
OA Star.
Inside the Sanctuary of the Guardians of the Universe.
A ball of green energy twisted and condensed into the image of a cosmic guardian, followed by the gradual emergence of phantom images of small blue figures.
Boom!
A loud bang was heard; it was the sound of Seneca prying open the central energy battery of the green light.
Boom!
The sacred chamber swayed, and the phantoms of the guardians of the universe faced each other. At this moment, one of them spoke:
"The central power battery of the Green Light has been taken by Sinestro, and we are powerless to stop it."
"Even for our endless lives, the devastation caused by Sinestro is severe enough and difficult to cope with."
Then the little blue man proposed a resolution:
"Fellow Guardians, we must end this madness."
After receiving nods of agreement from the other little blue men, the leader continued:
"Then we need a fellow Guardian to willingly sacrifice his life, to break his body down into atoms, to move him out of this universe, to banish him to the cracks of the multiverse, to rid the universe of Sinestro's evil soul."
(Note: This is exactly what the Guardians of the Universe did to Superman Supreme in the comic "The War of Sinestro's Legion"! One Guardian of the Universe chose to self-destruct, instantly killing Superman Supreme, who was invincible on Earth. Of course, even so, Superman Supreme did not die, but the others were broken down into atoms and thrown into the multiverse, and they would probably be dead long ago.)
Despite the Guardians of the Universe openly stating that "we must sacrifice one of our members," not a single one of them showed any fear or reluctance. They were all expressionless, like cold machines.
"agree."
"agree."
"So we'll resolve this by drawing lots."
The little blue man who was in charge wrote a number for each of the little blue men and then prepared the tools for drawing lots.
The results of the draw came out quickly.
The little blue man at the head of the group was the first to check who should be sacrificed.
There was no public announcement of the lottery results. For the guardians of the universe, they had no emotions and, of course, no selfish motives. Whether it was sacrificing others or sacrificing themselves, it made no difference to the guardians of the universe. Therefore, they naturally did not need to worry about anyone cheating in the lottery.
However, the little blue man at the head of the group was still stunned when he saw the lottery results.
The lottery result showed: 11.
And 11 is the number that the leader of the little blue men was given, which means that the leader of the little blue men was chosen to become the victim.
No. I am more important than my fellow Guardians.
The little blue man at the head thought to himself.
I am Horuba.
I am more important than any other guardian of the universe. For the sake of cosmic peace, I should not be the one sacrificed.
(Note: Horuba is a guardian of the universe who has appeared multiple times in the comics. He was once a disciple of the traitorous guardian of the universe, Calona. Like his companions, he also chose to lose his emotions and arrested his teacher, Calona.)
Even so, he remains the Guardian of the Universe who retains the most emotion, aside from Ganther and Seid. At least before the Green Lantern Wars event, Horuba repeatedly demonstrated that he could still clearly remember his own name. However, during the Green Lantern Wars, Horuba had completely lost himself and even forgot his own name.
This incident even deeply moved Cardona.
Therefore, Horuba, with the other Guardians watching from behind, flickered his eyes, and then his phantom slightly clenched his hands, and the final result of the draw was changed from 11 to 12.
The little blue man, number 12, calmly walked up and accepted his fate. Even when he decided to die, there was no expression on his face.
"Sinestro is leaving Oa with the Green Light Central Power Battery. We absolutely cannot let him succeed."
Horuba, the little blue man, said, "Don't rush into action. Besides Seneca, Mongo—"
He used the green light energy to conjure phantom images of Mongo and Achilo in front of the other little blue men, and then continued:
"And Achilo, the villains will gather together, it'll be perfect to wipe them all out at once..."
But at that moment, Horuba's voice suddenly paused for a moment:
"Wait, a new situation has arisen."
"A new Yellow Lantern? Sinestro ran away when he saw him? No... wait. It doesn't seem to be Yellow Lantern, it's Green Lantern."
Another little blue man said, "This doesn't make sense. I just detected through the Book of Oa that the lamp ring he's using is the same one that Abinsu used before, not some replica."
"There can't be two identical Green Lantern rings in this world. If the ring he's holding belongs to Abinsu, then it can only mean one thing: Hal Jordan is dead, and the rest of the Green Lantern Corps are probably doomed as well."
"I think they should be completely wiped out," another guardian said.
"Then we should discuss the current situation first. Can we utilize this Green Lantern in front of us?"
Another little blue man immediately asked.
"A new Green Lantern who can rival Sinestro?" a female blue-haired woman said. "It sounds like another great candidate for Green Lantern, but in fact, I clearly saw him using the Yellow Lantern ring before."
"A defective product that has been infected by the power of the yellow light."
She concluded, "We don't need to have any expectations of him."
"That's right, and members of other colors of light must be contained."
The little blue woman said:
"We must prevent the existence of other colors of light and then cover everything up. What happened on OA today must never be known to anyone else. No living being should survive except the Guardians of the Universe. We need to declare that the Yellow Lantern Legion never existed."
"Are we planning to kill all those Green Lanterns too?" Horuba, the little blue man, asked.
Then, as if possessed, he added at the end of his sentence: "They are still resisting."
"Yes, fellow Guardian," the little blue woman said.
"We can at least turn Oa and the two war fortresses around it into atoms by having our chosen Cosmic Guardian colleague activate all the Green Light energy in the Green Light Central Energy Cell and self-destruct with him, and then throw their remains into the cracks of the multiverse."
She explained:
"If Abinsu's ring has found a third host, it means that the Green Lantern Corps, whether it is the troops that stayed behind or the troops that went out to attack, has been almost completely wiped out, or at least crippled."
She said, "To protect the universe, we need a completely new legion."
"What are we planning to do?" asked the little blue man next to us.
The little blue woman continued:
"Since the beginning of creation, we have taken it upon ourselves to dispel chaos. But from ancient times to the present, we have misunderstood the true origin of chaos. We must admit our mistakes so that we can correct our goals."
"When we were building our first army of machine hunters, we thought that emotions were the weakness that would lead to chaos. But without emotions, machine hunters would just slaughter the entire sector indiscriminately."
"When we were building our second army, the Green Lantern Corps, we again thought that the root of the chaos was fear. However, we witnessed that chaos came not only from fear, but also from ambition, greed, hope, anger, love, and more. And these flawed traits were even manifested in our Green Lantern Corps members."
"We tried to correct these mistakes with the power of will, but in the end the Green Lantern Corps became the mistakes themselves, thus creating inferior degenerates like Sinestro."
"Guardians, whether we like it or not, our Green Lantern Corps has failed."
"The reason for this defeat is that we mistakenly poured the true power behind chaos into the Green Lantern Corps: the power of will. The power of will led to the Green Lantern Corps' defeat."
"Not just will, but free will, my fellow guardians," another little blue figure added. "Free will corrupts the Legion members; Sinestro was just the first. The Green Lantern Legion was a failure from the moment it was created."
So the little blue man came to a conclusion:
"Sentient beings should not have the right to make choices; our wisdom is superior to theirs."
"Eradicating free will is not a simple and costless thing, but maintaining order is the only reasonable step. Before that, we must abandon the second army, the Green Lantern Corps, and build a third army."
"Our first two attempts failed. The universe remains filled with violence, hatred, and evil. We need to find a solution, through the first Lantern."
"We need his power to save the situation."
"We'll talk about this later."
"Now, let's vote."
"Those who agree with the proposal to abandon the Green Lantern Corps and establish a Third Corps, please vote."
"All passed."
"very good."
"Alright, next. Those who agree with the proposal to [detonate the Green Lantern Central Power Battery and annihilate the Yellow Lantern Legion and the remaining Green Lantern Legion members], please vote."
"All passed."
"Then let's move out, fellow Guardians."
"We need to protect Number 12 as he approaches the Green Light central energy cell, then he jumps in, detonates the cell, and turns all the witnesses to the Yellow Light Legion's attack on Planet OA into atoms."
"This explosion must be far away from Planet OA, and all other Guardian colleagues must be given time to evacuate before the explosion."
"We must also ensure spatial containment to prevent others from escaping through spatial jumps in the same way."
The little blue guys quickly finalized all the details of the plan by exchanging words. This is the little blue guys' most classic and famous way of doing things: they simply cover it up, and then no one will ever know what they've done again.
They were the same when facing the first Lantern Knight, when facing Calona, and when facing the Black Death Emperor of the Darkest Night.
"Wait, I've found out the identity of the Green Lantern who wears the Abinsu ring."
A little blue man said, "He calls himself... Batman? At least that's the only name Hal has ever told us. He's from Earth, and he's the same species as Hal Jordan."
This is probably why Abinsu's ring chose him. Hal Jordan must have designated his ring for him, and after his death, it automatically went into that person's hands.
"None of that matters."
Another little blue man said, "Whoever this guy called Batman is..."
"He witnessed the existence of the Yellow Lantern Legion and the fall of OA. Let's cover him up along with today's events."
"Let's get ready to start, everyone."
