"..."
Bane spent only a few seconds reviewing Batman's plan to turn against him.
He took a deep breath.
"That's really perverted," he said.
"That's right." Hal nodded in deep agreement. Batman's actions reminded him of the time Batman put nanobots into his head.
Okay, he has disappointed others many times, OK?
Carol (Hal's girlfriend), Jack, Jim (Hal's brother)...
He knew he often did some outrageous things and could fully understand that Batman might suspect he would make things worse, so he took certain precautions against him. Moreover, Martian Manhunter later relayed Batman's words: if he did not intend to do something contrary to the plan, those nanobots would never activate.
The fact is that those nanobots were activated, which means that if Batman hadn't stopped him, his old problem would have flared up.
This could affect the plan and lead to serious consequences, or it might not, who knows?
Even so, it doesn't mean Hal didn't harbor resentment, which is why he left Earth in a huff without ever seeing Batman.
—Although he wouldn't really hold a grudge against Batman because of this, ultimately, this behavior of not caring about his teammates at all, arranging everything on his own, and even manipulating his teammates mentally, still made him somewhat uncomfortable.
However, it seems that Batman was quite polite to him now. Look at this wording: "This does not mean that this is not a plan that can kill Batman."
When Batman gets ruthless, he'll even kill himself. Compared to that, Hal felt that Batman was being relatively polite to him. The little knot in his heart suddenly disappeared, replaced by a sense of relief and some inexplicable gratitude.
Batman could have easily killed me with his plan, but he just turned me into an idiot and then he recovered. He's so kind! Senior!
Ugh, vomit!
Okay, Hal thinks it's pretty crazy to even have such a thought pop into his head. It must be because he spent time with Batman.
He covered his forehead and then said:
"In short, I originally thought Batman was already crazy enough for someone who was always thinking about attacking his teammates."
"And then he even tried to attack himself, that's so Batman," Bane said from the side. "My God, look at this, he even teaches others how to kill him. I'm even a little grateful to Batman for sparing his life."
Hal couldn't tell if he was being self-deprecating or what.
"Tsk."
He could only hear Parallax Batman's malicious voice coming from outside, through the barrier created by the ion force.
"Look at you, like sad clowns drawn on black velvet."
This was entirely the sound of Parallax, who had completely taken control of Batman, and Hal knew the situation was urgent.
"...You will easily submit to my will and act according to my commands, I mean it..."
He retrieved a spellbook from the interdimensional space opened by his Green Lantern ring, then muttered to himself, "Damn it, how did he manage to send this to me through the interdimensional space at the same time as communicating through the Green Lantern ring?"
Hal scratched his head like an idiot, then belatedly realized what was going on.
"Wait a minute, he can put things into the extradimensional space opened up by my ring, doesn't that mean he can also control my ring? When did he do that?"
However, Hal quickly lost interest in thinking about these things as the formidable enemy loomed large. The barrier Bane had constructed using ion powers was teetering on the brink of collapse under the heavy blows of Parallax Batman, and this greater threat interrupted him.
Hal hurriedly picked up the book of ironic magic, and then immediately became dizzy from reading it.
I don't understand Korean!
"So...you'll do it?" Hal asked. He turned to look at Bane. Although Bane had only served in the Justice League for a while before leaving, he still kept a very detailed eye on the intelligence system Batman had provided him. Hal was never known for his intelligence, but he still possessed the basic qualities of a leader. He knew that Bane was already somewhat of a magical figure.
"You do it." But Bane shook his head and said, "When Batman was preparing this book of irony, he couldn't possibly have foreseen who would open it at some point in the future. Otherwise, he wouldn't be human, he would be a god."
Bane stroked his chin and said, "I know Batman much better than you do. So when he designed this spellbook, he must have made it so that even someone who doesn't know anything about magic could use it."
He then added, "And now that he's sent the stuff to you, I can't interfere. If Batman sets up countermeasures, it would backfire."
"Then how am I supposed to open this book?" I know absolutely nothing about magic!
Hal said. He reached out and quickly flipped through the spellbook he had pulled out. After turning only two pages, the spellbook spoke:
[Under investigation...Under investigation...Identified as the innocent Hal Jordan]
Hal Jordan watched in disbelief as the magic book began to transform amidst a series of metallic mechanical sounds, eventually turning into a technologically advanced, book-like electronic device—
Then, all sorts of mysterious runes that were incomprehensible began to swirl around it.
[Personnel assessment passed; rationality assessment passed. Plan initiated! Emergency countermeasures cancelled.]
Hal didn't immediately understand who this countermeasure was targeting, but he quickly realized it.
If someone kills him and steals the spellbook he possessed—a spellbook Batman created specifically to target him—the spellbook will perform an assessment of its user before casting any spell. If the user is found to be not a member of the Justice League or shows signs of mind control…
Hal gasped.
It can only be said that Bane knows Batman quite well; what he said was absolutely right.
"No!" Mongo was not completely dead yet.
He already owes far too much to all sorts of unknown entities, and he can no longer afford to bear it.
However, no matter what he did, it was impossible for him to do anything to the parallax monster.
Parallax has found a new host. Although Batman and he are not compatible at all, Parallax even possessed the most ordinary little boy on Earth when it was at its lowest point. It is not as picky about its host as Ion Shark and Blood Bull. Even if it cannot hold the host for a long time, short-term control is perfectly acceptable.
The dark green chains from Calona are no longer enough to help Mongo drag the Parallax monster. You need enough strength to hold back a raging bull.
Even so, Mongo still has a trump card up his sleeve.
He vaguely sensed his war world, the massive warship that had helped him traverse multiple star systems, which had yet to reveal its magnificence to the entire battlefield.
If it weren't for Sinestro's earlier intervention, and the possibility that an attack launched under control of the War World would affect a large area around the city and even Mongo himself, Mongo would have already chosen to bombard the area. Unlike Sinestro, Mongo has no bottom line. But if he is forced into a corner, then he doesn't need to care about whether he will be affected.
In any case, his entire body is now filled with the power of decay and darkness, and he is also under the control of the Black Death Emperor. These are both his burden and his asset.
In a world ravaged by devastating bombardment, his survival skills far surpass those of Batman and his allies. If the Black Death hadn't actively drawn him into his world, Mongo would practically be immortal.
Mongo quietly moved the cannons of the War World, prepared them for charging, and aimed them at the battlefield location on Planet Oa.
At least he never revealed to anyone that he possessed the trump card of World of War, and Batman was unaware of it either. He probably only regarded World of War as an ordinary war fortress like the yellow-light city of Lanx, without understanding just how terrifying a super weapon World of War truly was.
No one has been able to seize control of the war world from him; this massive war fortress is the property of all generations of Mongo.
Unless Batman becomes Mongo, this war fortress will only obey his orders.
However, he hasn't taken action yet.
He still harbored some illusions about reclaiming Parallax. If he were to bombard him now, he himself would be torn to pieces, rendered incapable of resistance.
But if he were to seize the right moment... if he could control the Warworld to unleash an interstellar barrage on Batman, perhaps he could separate Batman from Parallax, thus giving him the ability...
"You'll never escape fear..." he heard the Parallax monster say. "You will eventually..."
Hal Jordan chanted the spell.
The next second, the Parallax Demon, who had been incessantly boasting about its power, immediately shut up: "What the hell?"
Parallax felt himself being constantly banished, not because Batman's willpower was strong enough to banish him—that was impossible, even Hal Jordan couldn't do it. In the original comics, he even needed Ghost's help to break free from Parallax's control.
But the reason he's being expelled now is that he can't control a piece of steel... That's right, the host of the Parallax monster must be a living being, preferably an intelligent being, as a prerequisite for its possession, and cannot be a stone.
But now Batman is just a rock, and the Parallax monster that floated out of Batman's body is completely dumbfounded.
???
He was still somewhat skeptical and tried to climb back onto the body of Batman, who was lying dead in mid-air, but he couldn't do it at all.
"What's going on? Batman!"
Parallax was immediately enraged. The Ion Shark beside it, of course, wouldn't let this opportunity to strike at its old rival slip by. They were both manifestations of emotions, but their hosts were their weapons.
The current situation is like two people fighting, one of whom is suddenly left unarmed and forced to face heavy blows from the other, especially since the other is dual-wielding.
Parallax tried to hold out and not run away, but no matter how much he called out to Batman, Batman collapsed there like an old john exhausted after finishing his business, his face showing a frighteningly peaceful and serene expression, as if he were radiating holy light, and he did not react to his shouts at all.
Just then, Mongo's dark green iron chains began to wrap around him again.
Mongo felt this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If he can take on this project, he can become Parallax Mongo again. Although the plan is somewhat different from before, it has basically achieved its original goal: to be able to...
Not far away, the ion shark possessing Bane was also rubbing its hands together, intending to teach its old nemesis another lesson.
Under these circumstances, Parallax decided to run away.
Of course he could turn around and possess Mongo again, why not? But it wouldn't make any sense. Even if he possessed Mongo, he couldn't possibly defeat the Ion Shark, who possesses the power of both Bane and Batman. He would lose no matter what, so what's the point of fighting?
There's no point in fighting them here anyway. He plans to return to space and continue being a carefree parallax monster. I'm not playing with you guys anymore.
I've been stuck in the green light central energy battery for so long, can't I even enjoy myself?
So Parallax did just that; he immediately turned around and tried to escape, but then he saw Batman, who had been lying dead, suddenly stand up straight.
Then he pulled out a lot of little blue men.
Please don't misunderstand, Batman hasn't broken free from his completely petrified state. He's just slightly shaken off the gravity of OA like a zombie, changed his floating posture, and stood there. Apart from the insane smile on his face, he's no different from before.
What appeared beside him was a little blue man, a dead little blue man.
Black mist emanated from the little blue man's face, making him appear like a ghost. A decaying, black power clung to their faces, and it was through this power that Batman controlled these corpses.
His eyes were now just two black holes, his lips were rotten, and his white teeth were tightly biting his upper lip. His hair was dry and stuck to his temples, sparsely covering his sunken blue-gray cheeks. It seemed that one could still recognize the serious and imposing face that had once been on his face.
"What are you doing?"
Hal Jordan was unaware of this.
He flew to Batman's side and saw that the man was still motionless, like a rock on a mountainside.
then……
And then...
One after another, little blue men appeared beside Batman like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
A small blue man's corpse flew into his palm, which he held like a bomb, green light emanating from its mouth and nose.
That was a sign that the guardian of the universe was about to self-destruct.
Hal: ?
Bain: !
Mongo: ? ? ?
