Chapter 503 Batman: Cow, Cow: Goo, the First Lantern of the Shadow Cabinet

Chen Tao knew that everything he had done to Lantern No. 1 had made them enemies now, which meant that no matter how wonderful his words were, Huo Rong would only want to reject him ruthlessly in revenge for the humiliation Chen Tao had inflicted on him before.

Chen Tao had every reason to believe that the First Lantern would not be foolish enough to put all his efforts into storing the power that he had transmitted through the Ring of Misfortune on this ring, which would then be worn by the ventriloquist and dangled under Batman's nose.

The fearless attitude of Lantern No. 1 also confirmed Chen Tao's guess. He didn't need any bargaining chips at all. He firmly believed that he could escape. There was no other explanation except that he had already made preparations for it.

(Note: Please refer to the end of Chapter 381, where the First Lantern looked down on the cowardly version of Hal Jordan in the Night Owl Universe, so he made a plan in advance to divide his ring into three parts!)
So in this situation, if Chen Tao wants to persuade the first Lantern Man, he must come up with a reason that he cannot refuse.

Yes, of course Chen Tao can use Bat-Lennyak's ability to forcefully read his memory. Anyway, the First Lantern is extremely weak at this time, and Chen Tao's Bat-Lennyak transformation has been allowed by Night Owl, and he can use the huge mental power of Starro, the Conqueror of the Universe.

This was equivalent to connecting a large oil tank to a diesel engine. Chen Tao felt that he was fully capable of forcing the other party and getting what he wanted from his mind - but then what?

He already had a grudge against the first Lantern, and now he was forcing the other party without any regard for the consequences, which made the hatred even greater.

If they were strangers at best before, Batman had clearly rejected the first Lantern, and they had not established any relationship with each other, and the trust level was almost zero, then if he did this now, the trust level would probably become negative, which would bring great uncertainty to his plan.

For example, if he is forced into a corner and has no way out, he needs to release Lantern No. 1.

As a result, Lantern No. 1 suspected that he was a trap by releasing himself, or he simply didn't believe anything Chen Tao said, even when Batman claimed that he could save his hometown. He wanted Chen Tao to die, and would rather stay in prison and release himself after hundreds of years, rather than do anything that might benefit Chen Tao...

Don't underestimate these possibilities. If they really happen, it would be fatal. Even if Lantern No. 1 hesitated for half a second, the entire plan could fail.

So Chen Tao needs him and needs him to help him willingly.

"No, these memories are just your lies..." Lantern No. 1 held his head, and Chen Tao looked at him: "You know it's not, Huo Rong."

Lantern No. 1 calmed down a little. In his long life, only his hometown could move him and make him break the decision he had made long ago.

"If all this is true...what are you going to do?"

"I'm not going to do anything, Wolverine. I never promise you anything." Then he heard Batman say, "The only thing I will promise you is to let you create an avatar. These avatars will be temporarily sealed by me, and the strength of the seal is enough to allow your avatar to struggle until I defeat the Anti-Monitor and then escape."

"With the help of these avatars, you can compress the time it would take tens of thousands of years to escape into years or months."

He said, “All you have to do is share your experience with me.”

“What about my hometown?”

"I'm afraid I have to be honest, Huo Rong, I make no promises."

"But I still have a chance." Lantern No. 1 lowered his head and muttered to himself, then he said crisply: "Deal."

The next second, Chen Tao obtained the specific location of the Shadow Cabinet through the mind link between them. Chen Tao stopped talking, and then the sonic boom channel opened in front of him. He stepped over and arrived...

Kent Farm.

Superman Clark Kent's adoptive mother, Martha Wayne... bah, Martha Kent. She is still running this small farm. The insurance company under the Wayne Group helped her pay for the lawn mower and related farm tools that General Zod threw into the house. Martha also hired two temporary helpers and lived a peaceful and comfortable life.

Well, there are only two two-headed monsters left in the farm. Chen Tao notified Martha, the Justice League, and the families of some members to take refuge in the Red of All Living Things.

After all, although most members of the league are orphans, there are still a few members who have families, such as Hal's lover Carol, the Flash's lover Patty, and his father who is serving his sentence in prison.

Martha and the others also had experience, the only difference was that they didn't know that it was Batman himself who caused the disaster this time.

In short, Chen Tao's arrival made the two two-headed monsters at Kent Farm cry with joy. Under their leadership, Chen Tao broke into the cowshed of Kent Farm and soon saw a living cow.

"Cow!"

Chen Tao said, and then under the cow's horrified eyes, he went up and grabbed his horns, and then lifted the whole cow up and flew. It was forced to be dragged into the sky by the dragon-like bat monster with pointed ears and horns all over its body.

Chen Tao cancelled Bat-Lenyaq's transformation, which resulted in him completely revealing the state of being possessed by the plunder beast.

Although he has controlled the ravagers, he did so with the help of countless two-headed monsters. Therefore, he still cannot maintain his original appearance like Sinestro or Hal. Instead, he takes on the form of a bloody bull possessing James King, changing his appearance into a horned, crimson giant holding a huge axe, and turning Chen Tao into a half-dragon with bat-like ears and horned barbs all over his body.

(Note: James King, a former host of Bloody Bull, in the big event "Whitest Day", a death row inmate named Joshua Hayes, who committed rape and murder, was tied to the electric chair and was about to be executed.

He was about to receive the punishment he deserved, but he still showed disdain and even provoked the deceased's father, James King. The grief-stricken father James was extremely angry and wanted to kill him with his own hands. His great anger made the Blood Bull find him, and later Atrocitus and the Ghost teamed up to pull the Blood Bull out of his body.
When he completely removed the transformations of other Batmans, this horrifying state finally appeared completely on him.

"Moo!" The cow was so frightened that it kept shouting: "Coo! Coo!"

It kicked with all four hooves and kicked Batman desperately, but it still couldn't stop itself from being dragged by Batman's head directly into the sonic explosion channel that suddenly opened up in the sky.

With the farewell of the two two-headed monsters who were temporary helpers hired by Martha, Chen Tao crossed the portal and soon appeared in the Hall of Justice again. Then he raised his hand, and the ring of misfortune that the ventriloquist could not take off flew into his hand. Then Chen Tao collected the corpses of the little blue men that he had thrown on the ground to show them to the first Lantern, and transformed into Bat-Lennyk again and put the ring on.

"How surprising." Chen Tao heard the voice of Lantern Man No. 1 coming from his ear:

"Do you know that all hosts possessed by plunder beasts will fall madly in love with something they loved before? The lamp beasts will choose creatures with emotional energy that matches theirs as their hosts, then amplify this emotional energy and feed on it. But your sanity has hardly been affected at all. You haven't fallen madly in love with someone, and you haven't even gone insane, which is bound to happen."

He said, "This is beyond the emotional spectrum. Are you sure you are just enduring this erosion of your sanity rather than feeling nothing at all?"

Chen Tao felt nothing. He did not feel that the ravager had magnified his crazy thoughts of falling in love with someone, or that the ravager's influence on human thinking was not even as strong as the negative emotions of Batman that Chen Tao had synchronized with. With a thought, he swept these emotions from the lamp beast into the trash.

"Maybe those two-headed monsters I modified fed the ravagers on my behalf." Chen Tao told Lantern No. 1. Before the other party could figure out how Chen Tao became the host of the ravagers through those two-headed monsters, he opened the sonic explosion channel again and soon arrived at the depths of a certain universe.

In the far distance, a huge purple vortex was slowly spinning. "The Shadow Cabinet is inside." Chen Tao heard Lantern No. 1 say.

"I will use those corpses to help you reshape your avatar."

They flew over the whirlpool, and soon, a huge Shadow Cabinet trapped by countless green chains appeared in front of Chen Tao.

"Yes, that's right, it's here..."

Chen Tao heard the hurried and eager voice of Lantern No. 1: "I have been imprisoned here for billions of years."

"Tell me how to open these green light energy chains."

Lantern No. 1 did as he was told, and soon, as the green light symbol turned on, Chen Tao heard a surprised voice coming from the Shadow Cabinet, followed by countless bright eyes appearing in the darkness.

Before Lantern No. 1 could react, Chen Tao took out a large number of blue man corpses.

"What do you want to do?" he asked.

Chen Tao ignored him.

Under the somewhat surprised gaze of Lantern No. 1, he saw Batman controlling these little blue men who had been dead for a long time. Soon, their faces showed serious expressions as if they were living people, and they floated beside Chen Tao.

"Who is it, who is there?"

“I can only see the light.”

"No, look, our compatriots are back!"

Below, more little blue men cheered. They were the little blue men who had been left in the Shadow Cabinet. They were responsible for protecting the first Lantern, so their emotions were not eliminated.

Chen Tao had no intention of hurting them.

"Did the robot hunter succeed? Brothers and sisters, can we finally return to the team? Has the universe been saved?"

The little blue men controlled by Chen Tao took a step forward and looked at the jumping little blue men.

Their hair and beards had turned white over billions of years, and the beard of the little blue man in the lead even dragged on the ground.

Their clothes were tattered and ragged, and there was no way they could change clothes in a place like this.

Their eyes were almost unable to open due to the piercing light of long-term darkness, but they still jumped and laughed happily, because according to their agreement, once the shadow was opened, it meant that the universe had been completely redeemed, and they could live happily with their brothers and sisters in that peaceful and non-violent universe.

This was their original agreement and the original wish of all the little blue men.

The former guardians of the universe... they were not the ones responsible for more murders and evil.

Everything they did was just, but as time went by, they became corrupt and degenerate, and eventually it became clear that they could kill every one of them without any injustice.

"I'm sorry." Chen Tao thought silently.

Then he manipulated those people and said, "Let's seize the power of Lantern No. 1."

"The Machine Hunter has failed, we have failed, and the universe is still full of violence, hatred, and evil. We are here to find a solution. We are here for the First Lantern, whose power can help us save reality."

Chen Tao controlled the group of little blue men and said that Lantern No. 1 didn't understand why Batman went to so much trouble.

"You know his power is too dangerous." Those who stayed behind answered, and Chen Tao saw the surprise and fear in their eyes.

"Things didn't go as we hoped. The universe is no longer as simple as it was when you left. Make way."

"Absolutely not." He heard the other party say, when we parted that year, we had already agreed that we would voluntarily dedicate the rest of our lives to guard the Shadow Cabinet. No matter who dares to come here and release the Lantern, we will definitely resist with all our strength...Ah!!!"

But before he could say anything, Superboy-Prime appeared behind him and knocked him out with a knife.

Chen Tao had already silently released Superboy-Prime. He needed the other little blue men to help him attract the attention of these little blue men so that he could knock them all down before they had time to react.

As the jailers of the First Lantern, these little blue men also possess powerful powers like the Guardians of the Universe.

Chen Tao can control Superboy-Prime to kill them all, but if he wants to take them down without getting hurt, it’s better to use some tricks.

Although this may be cruel to these little blue men, this is actually what the little blue men who stayed outside ended up like.

As for the mission of these little blue jailers...

Sorry, everyone.

You are a good group of people...

But things have changed.
