Just as he was pondering who was behind the dozens of attacks and murders that had occurred in Gotham City that day, a cacophony of ear-piercing screams, like a swarm of bees, came from above the clouds, and dozens of Parademons from Apokolips charged at him.
Batman's expression changed; his brief encounter had already made him realize the terrifying nature of this biological weapon.
Even a few are difficult to deal with, let alone dozens. They gave him no chance to catch his breath. He took out the bat grappling hook and prepared to fight from a distance.
Suddenly, a bright green light appeared in the sky above the clouds.
A fighter jet, seemingly carved from emeralds, broke through the clouds and swooped down. Its anti-aircraft machine guns opened fire on the terrifying Parademons. With the powerful firepower amplified by the Ring of Power, dozens of Parademons were annihilated by the fighter jet, which skillfully weaved through them several times in the sky.
Batman frowned; they weren't the two people he had imagined.
Those two wouldn't be so flashy, and those powerful energy-tech alien weapons were always just supplementary in their hands.
"Batman?"
As the energy plane dissipated, a figure clad in a green energy bodysuit and wearing an eye patch slowly descended. The ring on his hand shone like a dazzling lantern, illuminating Batman's figure.
Hal Jordan looked at the figure in front of him, his tone slightly flippant, as if he had caught sight of Bigfoot from a childhood horror story, feigning surprise.
"I always thought you were a horror legend in Gotham, but you actually exist?"
"Damn it, you're shining it way too brightly!"
Turn off the lights before they spot us!
Batman raised his hand to block the light, squinted, and shouted.
"What about them?"
As soon as Hal Jordan finished asking his question, the clouds in the sky lit up with an orange light, and a dense army of Parademons, numbering no less than several hundred at a glance, roared and swarmed in. Unlike the previous one, they were all carrying laser guns that emitted a dangerous orange light.
"Kill one, and more will follow."
"A fight to the death!"
Batman looked grim.
He has already seen a small army of these high-tech biological weapons that seem to be born for killing.
This is definitely not from Earth.
Damn it, can't the earth just have a few days of peace?
"Oh, you mean them?"
Don't worry, I have my own army too.
Hal Jordan, like a mischievous big boy who has just received a precious toy, flaunts it with swagger.
The ring on his hand conjured a modern army equipped with riot shields, which immediately opened fire on the monsters attacking from the sky.
Hovering behind the riot shield wall, Hal Jordan looked at Batman, whose expression remained gloomy and solemn, and spoke eloquently with his arms crossed.
"Don't worry.
Although I had previously seen one of them cause a riot in Seaside Town, shooting through a police car.
But these energy shields can withstand anything on Earth except nuclear weapons!
"Are Beyonders' fists the same as Superman's?"
Somewhat fed up with his incessant chatter, Batman replied coldly.
Hal Jordan paused, then chuckled.
"Just as the news said, you know the Beyonders and Superman."
"Did you fight side by side against an invading alien world?"
"To be honest, Earth is within the cosmic sector under my jurisdiction. That was originally my job, but you took over."
The power of the Lamp Ring was indeed not something that ordinary Parademons could defeat. Under the modern forces formed by the power of will, hundreds of demons were killed or wounded by the roaring rifle bullets, Hal Jordan said eloquently.
"Any extraterrestrial presence that enters other planets without permission and may pose a threat is within my responsibilities."
Superman and the Beyonder are examples of this.
"The veteran Lantern who gave me the ring specifically instructed me to keep a close eye on them, especially the Beyonder, and to report any possible threat to Earth to Legion headquarters immediately."
"You think you can break through the defenses and harm anyone else?" Seeing that it was unlikely that these hundreds of monsters could break through the defenses and harm anyone else, Batman relaxed slightly and turned back.
"What kind of look is that?"
Seeing the doubt in Batman's eyes beneath the mask, as if he were watching a husky threatening to give a Tyrannosaurus Rex an over-the-shoulder throw, Hal Jordan got a little angry.
"Although they are very powerful."
But repelling the invading aliens is nothing special.
Almost every one of the 3,600 sectors of the universe has done something similar!
He held up the ring in his hand, his tone excited, like someone who emphasizes the least of things.
Do you know what this is?
This is the most powerful weapon in the universe!
"I saw it. Those alien monsters were wiped out as soon as I spoke, like swatting a bunch of insects."
Hundreds of demons were shot dead, their corpses turning to ashes and falling from the sky. Hal Jordan raised his chin.
"Don't talk about those who surpass others."
My instructor, Kilowog, who taught me the Lamp Ring, once told me that as long as I have a strong enough will, I can even use this ring to play with stars like billiard balls!
Do those who transcend possess this ability?
"Snooker exists on alien planets?"
After glancing at the ashes, Batman judged that this place was not suitable for a long stay. Those high-tech bio-weapons might have tracking technology. Batman glanced at him again, turned around, and prepared to return to the Batcave, activating his Fenrir armor.
"Just know that this is roughly the idea."
To add one more thing, Kirowog couldn't possibly be lying to me.
He had a hairless pig's head and looked like a rather dim-witted and irritable person.
Hal Jordan recalled the grueling training he endured after being selected and sent to Oa Star, and he grimaced, uttering a harsh complaint.
Do you believe what you're saying?
It's fine if you lie to me, but don't fool yourself into believing it too.
With a lithe and powerful physique, he swung his grappling hook across the block, Hal Jordan following closely behind, Batman giving a meaningful, cold reminder.
Based on his observations, Superman was one thing, but Beyonders didn't seem like the type to show mercy after becoming his enemy.
Luthor's 'disappearance' caused a great deal of controversy. If it weren't for Brainiac's invasion, the Beyonders and Superman would have saved the world and attracted all the attention, and a wave of public opinion condemning the Beyonders would have already formed.
What constitutes a lie?
Hal Jordan sounded a little uneasy when he heard this, and stubbornly argued back.
He wasn't stupid either. As a newcomer to the Legion, he not only quickly became a full-fledged Lanternman, but also immediately gained the right to request an audience with the Guardian of the Universe, just so he could report any unusual movements of the Beyonders.
He was also specifically instructed that he was not yet familiar with the lamp ring and that it was related to the transcendent, so he should report anything in advance and not act on his own.
The Legion seems to be deeply wary of the Overlords.
"I am like a humanoid camera that the guardians set up on Earth for those who transcend."
bah bah bah!
Hal Jordan mentally spat a few times, trying to banish the thought. How could he belittle himself like that? He straightened his chest and spoke up.
“I’ve asked many Lanterns, and they’ve confirmed what Killowog said.”
The power of the lamp ring is almost limitless.
"Once I've mastered the Lamp Ring, if the Beyonder does anything to harm the world, I'll use this most powerful weapon in the universe to take him down immediately!"
"Oh, really?"
Just then, a voice that seemed completely devoid of emotion came from the sky.
"How are you going to win me over then?"
Hal Jordan froze, turning his head stiffly to look.
148. Chapter 147 Sons of Darkseid
Hal Jordan jolted awake, his body stiffening as he turned to look. Above the city, two figures he often saw on television were flying in mid-air.
The Beyonder, whose body radiates a rich purple light, looks down with his arms crossed. Superman follows closely behind, his cape fluttering. There is also a beautiful and heroic woman with a golden rope around her waist, standing suspended in mid-air on the other side behind the Beyonder.
"Ha ha……"
Seeing David behind him, Hal Jordan chuckled awkwardly, "I...I was just kidding."
The dazzling light ring on his hand dimmed slightly in fright.
Why is the ring dark?
Batman, whose ring was quite conspicuous, asked, "I've been hating Hal Jordan ever since."
