Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

8. Baby! Tribute to the king!

In Senistor's giant office, the Lord of Fear and Batman stand opposite each other.

In terms of his own strength, the current Batman is trying his best to fight, and it is not without chance, but he is still at a disadvantage to face the once strongest Green Lantern and the current King of Fear. Fortunately, he has more competitions this time. It was a confrontation of the mind, as Saibo said, Bruce didn't even need to raise his fist.

But before the confrontation started, Cyber ​​took off the yellow ring on his finger and threw it to Bruce:

"To project your fears, you need a medium. Use mine first, and then return it to me after use."

Bruce nodded and put Cyber's ring on his finger. The next moment, yellow light shone on Batman's body, just like when Cyber ​​just brought it on, the soul-derived fear slapped the waves. I wanted to defeat Batman's will from the heart, but it was obvious that it failed. In just a few seconds, Bruce's body returned to its normal posture.

And Senistor who was watching this scene was stunned. He turned to look at Saibo and asked loudly:

"How can your lamp ring be used by others? This is totally unreasonable! A lamp ring binds a soul! This is the absolute criterion of the spiritual spectrum!"

"Surprised?"

Cybershrugged: "The rules are for those who are not capable of breaking it. I am different from you, the king of fear. My soul is pure and powerful. I choose it, not it chooses me. Since it If you have obeyed me, you will naturally act according to my will."

"You really are a weirdo! Cyber!"

Senisto shook his head. He looked at the light ring that was worn by Bruce on his finger and was slightly shining with yellow light. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Facing a beginner with fear power, we Something simple first!"

"I can smell the fear of your family's destruction and death!"

"Om"

Accompanied by Senistor's voice, the picture in front of Batman's eyes suddenly changed. His thinking was absorbed into his own memory, and he saw his past self from a third-party perspective.

It was Gotham during the Great Depression. In the glamorous, chaotic theater passage behind, a robber tried to hurt him in order to take away money. His parents were shot and killed by the robber to protect him. The bastard took him. Fleeing with the money, leaving only Bruce Wayne, who was less than ten years old, sitting alone next to his parents' bodies.

In the cold winter night, he can even remember the warmth of the finger touching the blood, the loneliness and pain of losing everything.

But from the perspective of a third party, Bruce calmly looked at himself crying helplessly in the dark. There was a touch of sadness in his heart. This scene appeared in his memory almost every night, like a nightmare. Go, but there is no fear in his heart.

He looked at himself when he was a child, and suddenly thought of his son, Damian... He couldn't let his son suffer everything he had suffered in the past, and the children who had the same experience as himself, it was probably him After growing up, the original reason for putting everything into the fight against evil.

"Are you so capable?"

Bruce spoke for the first time, and the memory in front of him suddenly disappeared. He saw Senisto standing opposite him. The latter also had a slight surprise in his eyes, but then, Senisto's voice sounded again:

"Stone-hearted? Well, let me smell it again, I also smell that you are tempted by the darkness, and you will fall into it in just one step, completely losing the fear of your soul! Face it!"

"Om"

Batman’s eyes were blurred again, and he saw himself traveling the world from the same perspective. It was in Nepal. He hadn’t eaten for 5 days. He was very hungry. He secretly took a piece of bread from a store and hid it. It was delicious to eat in the corner, and at this moment, a child, a hungry child, looked at him eagerly and stood in the corner.

Bruce hesitated, tightened half of the bread in his hand and put it back in his pocket, and the next moment, he saw a group of wanderers like him knocked over the guards in the nearby warehouse and rushed into it to plunder. , He subconsciously rushed in, rushed out of the warehouse holding a bag of food, and at this moment, the downed guard kept his leg firmly.

Bruce was still very young at the time. It was his first crime. In a panic, he picked up a stick from the side and slammed it at the guard. In a state of excitement, it was difficult for people to judge themselves. Just before the final blow, he saw the bruised guard he had beaten. With just a stick, he would be unconscious and even die. No one would know that he had stolen something.

But with his eyes facing each other, Bruce saw the panic. It was the first time he had imposed his fear on others, and that was the first time he felt that he could give others fear.

Just like the abyss is calling, a dark voice rang in his ears, drop it, drop it, and you will become the strong!

"boom"

The stick swung down suddenly, but it hit the guard's side.

Bruce took out two loaves of bread from the food pocket, enough to feed himself, then put the bread bag in the guard's arms, and strode out. As he passed the corner, he stretched out his hand and stuffed the half loaf of bread into it. He killed the hungry kid, wiped his head, and left with a smile.

"Om"

The picture in front of Bruce dissipated again, and he became a little bored. He looked at Senistor and said in a deep voice:

"This is of no use except for strengthening my will... Is this all your tricks?"

"you!!"

Senisto gritted his teeth and took a deep breath again. He opened his arms and said in a deep voice: "I also smelled your powerlessness in the face of hatred. You fell into the darkness, fear that you cannot extricate yourself! Mortals cannot get rid of their emotions Influence, this time, you...you will lose!"

"Om"

The picture before Batman suddenly changed again. He saw himself at the most painful period of time. After he became an adult, the robber who shot his parents was going to be tried. He was eager to see that criminal break the law, but in the end, in the villain lawyer's With help, the murderer was sentenced to release in court.

The angry Bruce had a pistol hidden in his hand, planning to shoot the bastard outside the court.

If the law cannot punish evil, then he will come with his own hands!

But just before he shot, the moment the smugly smiling guy walked out of the courtroom, he was shot by a murderer hired by a gangster. Bruce was shocked and finally felt the thrill of revenge. He even started Thanks to those gangsters.

But then, with the death of this bastard, the order of the entire Gotham began to collapse rapidly. In the dark, Bruce saw with his own eyes how the gang who helped his enemies destroy the city and defiled his philanthropist parents. The peace that he worked for made him feel ashamed.

He chose self-exile in extreme pain, and when he returned as a righteous hero, he personally caught the murderer who designed everything, the shadow warrior who tried to subvert the order of Gotham. Faced with the murderer, he was very Wanting to kill his life by himself is like trying to shoot a robber outside of the courtroom, but in the end, he thought of the collapsed order, and in the end, he chose to let it go.

And his revenge, his friends helped him complete...

"Om"

The picture before him collapsed again. Bruce sighed. He turned his head to look at Cyber, smiled at him, and then returned his attention to Senistor. He said in a deep voice:

"Your method is just like this. Your understanding of fear is too superficial... Look out the window. Your people are living in fear, and fear breeds resentment, resentment drives anger, and anger eventually leads to crime... You Destroying your kingdom instead of maintaining it, now it's mine!"

"I don't need to stir up your fear, I just need to... make you me!"

"Om"

The yellow lamp ring in Bruce's hand was shining, and in Senistor's firm gaze, his thinking was thrown into the memory of Bruce Wayne's perspective.

There, he was born like Bruce, grew up like him, fell into the dark bat cave like him, felt the taste of fear for the first time in his life, then suffered the tragic death of his parents, the collapse of the city, and the betrayal of his friends. Encountered by the torture of good and evil, he entered the shadow warrior training like Bruce, thinking that he was a hero, and then awakened by the cruel reality.

Until he confronted the master of shadow dance and the more terrifying clown, all of this involved him like a real nightmare.

Senisto has never seen such a painful destiny from the perspective of a mortal. He was born with tyrannical power, and there is no need to worry about the design from Xiaoxiao, but because of this, he encountered such a rough fate After that, he became at a loss.

At the end of the story, Senistor was completely driven crazy by the clown's terrible tricks. He held two blood-stained blades. Under his feet, was the clown's broken body, and his life-lost face was twisted with a strange smile. , And Senisto was standing in the ruins of Gotham that he had destroyed by himself, laughing. This scene directly affected his thinking. Until Batman recovered the power of the fear of the Lantern Ring, Senisto was still immersed in the destruction. Of nothingness.

Cyber ​​and Bruce looked at him with the eyes of the poor.

"You failed! Senistor!"

Saibo's voice awakened the King of Fear from the illusion, he looked down suddenly, and his face paled.

The yellow light ring on his finger had abandoned him and floated in front of Batman. Saber took his light ring and put it on his finger. He walked to Batman and patted him on the shoulder:

"Hold it, this is what you deserve, this kind of fear projection ability is very suitable for you, with it, you will be invincible!"

Bruce glanced at the yellow lamp ring floating in front of him. He only needs to stretch out his hand to hold this power in his hand, but in the end, he shook his head.

"No, I don't need it!"

Batman took a step back: "I don't need this kind of power to manipulate the fear of others, as you said, it belongs to Batman, but it shouldn't belong to Mayor Bruce Wayne. I have my new life. "

"Keep it for me! Brother."

Bruce said to Cyber: "When Batman needs it, you will give it to me, and then, take me home... Rachel and Little Damian are still waiting for me to have dinner."

"Hahahaha"

Saibohaha smiled and stretched out his hand, holding Senist's lamp ring in his hand. He waved his finger and a portal opened behind Bruce:

"This is the Batman I know, this is my dread brother... Go, I hope you won't experience war again in this life!"

Bruce put on his glasses again, smiled at Cyber, turned around and walked into the portal, disappearing, Cyber ​​turned his head and looked at the gray-faced Senistor. He looked at his fingers and saw the betrayal. After the Zhe fell to such a desperate end, the resentment of this ring disappeared, and it returned to the same light green as the other Lanterns, and it surrendered to Cyber, completely belonging to the new owner.

Senistor’s energy combat uniform has disappeared, but compared to the weak power, the defeat of the soul is the real fatal injury. He is limp on the ground and his eyes have lost focus. Seeing this scene, Saibo suddenly felt, There is no point in killing such a person.

He stepped forward, squatted beside Senistor, looked at him, and whispered:

"Do you know? Lantern, actually after I heard your story, I felt that the most suitable place for you is not the Yellow Lantern Corps. You are still a bright hero in essence, but lack peace of mind and faith. So go back, Senistor, the poor Green Lanterns need you... Without you, they would be nothing but loose sand.

"I took a talented Green Lantern from them, and I should return him a future leader!"

After speaking, he stood up and stretched his waist greatly: "If it is still too late, I hope I can see you on the battlefield of the stars...not just you!"

"Wait! Cyber!"

Senistor stopped Saber who was leaving, and he asked softly: "Batman, has he really, really never killed a person? Even in the face of a terrible criminal like the Joker..."

"of course!"

Saber shrugged. He didn't answer. He just said happily: "I killed the clown myself. You see, behind every great hero, there must be a good friend who specializes in dirty work, Senistor. .. Take him as an example, learn from him, and become a true... the king of green lights!"

"Huh"

Saibo stepped into the territory of the Red Lantern Corps, and the world in front of him had completely changed, as if he had been trampled by a huge interstellar behemoth. His eyes widened, looking at everything around him. Then he shook his head, walked a few steps forward, and saw the huge body of the Hulk and the Destroyer standing beside him.

After seeing Saibo's return, Hulk and Drax beckoned to him. When Saibo approached, Hulk threw away the half-eaten melon in his hand and shook his finger proudly. He has two red lamp rings in his hand, obviously, one of them is his trophy.

And under his ass, Atohitas's bones were not yet cold, and blood that represented anger was flowing everywhere.

"Hulk! Great King!"

The Hulk stretched out his thumb, pointed at himself proudly, and stretched out his little finger, pointing at Saibo contemptuously:

"Seb! Little King!"

Finally, he patted the bone throne under his feet with both hands, and spread his hands proudly. The four thoroughly conquered Red Lantern men knelt behind Hulk with swollen noses, making the Hulk look as proud as a king:

"Look! Hulk's... Legion!"
