Chapter 196: Did Lucas get the Green Light Ring?
"Because human facial features are all concentrated in the upper part of the face, you just need to cover this part to hide your true identity very well!"
"At the same time, a full mask requires an extra oxygen tank supply; otherwise, during high-speed combat, we would have to wear an extra oxygen tank."
"No dark jokes, this is the function of my mask!"
Batman took the initiative to answer.
The design of the battle suit was scientific from head to toe, not just for looks.
"Wrong, wrong!"
Lucas shook his head.
"Hmm?"
Batman didn’t understand.
’Buddy, I made this battle suit myself, and I understand it less than you?’
"Could the answer be... Batman wanted to show off his sexy chin?"
Flash’s answer matched his personality.
Lucas snapped his fingers. "This has the vibe of a game! You DC superheroes are all so bitter and brooding, acting like your mothers died, life needs to be full of fun!"
Aquaman, Batman, and Flash all froze at the same time, and then their expressions became very unnatural.
Clark quickly chimed in, "Cough cough!"
"Let’s not talk about mothers anymore! Reveal the answer, time-traveler, we can’t guess it!"
Lucas shook his head. "How boring! The answer is very simple. The reason Batman exposes his chin is to show that he is white, after all, he frequently haunts Gotham at night."
"Visibility is bad at night, and he wears all black. If he didn’t expose a white chin, he’d easily have a whole magazine emptied into him!"
Oh well!
No more jokes about parents!
Now it has turned into a racial dark joke!
Not a single person present dared to laugh. Even Cyborg, who arrived right after Superman, swept his cold gaze across everyone, including his own companions.
"Let’s see whose teeth dare to show!!"
"Alright, that’s enough jokes, any more wouldn’t be nice!" Lucas clapped his hands. "The thing I want is indeed on Earth, but I will leave as soon as I take it, and it won’t affect any of you."
Superman let out a sigh of relief. "Alright, leave immediately after you take the thing, do not harm any Earthling!"
"Clark! What are you doing?"
Batman immediately took a step forward, but Superman turned his head aside, feeling extremely helpless.
"Calm down, Bruce! Provoking a powerhouse is not a good thing for us!"
"We should also accept reality!"
"Sometimes, superheroes also have things beyond their power. To protect Earth, we can only make a deal!"
In Superman’s thinking, it seemed to be mixed with some of Lex Luthor’s ideas.
Batman kept an extra eye open.
"He helped us defeat Doomsday, took away Steppenwolf, and even wiped out those Parademons cleanly. At least I couldn’t tell that he’s any kind of bad guy, which of you died?"
Superman looked at the other companions again.
Cyborg shook his head. "My computer calculations show that even if all of us combined, the probability of defeating him is no greater than 0.000001%, which is much lower than our winning rate against Steppenwolf."
"Even if I’m that guy, I can still tell the difference between numbers!"
After saying that, Cyborg glanced at Lucas, seeming to carry a bit of self-deprecation.
Obviously this powerful gentleman was a knight.
"What that guy said is right!"
Lucas gave a thumbs-up.
Just as they were speaking, a green stream of light suddenly flew over, charging straight at Lucas and striking him instantly.
The others hadn’t recovered their senses yet, and even Kara was stunned.
Only Lucas felt baffled.
"Darn it..."
He shattered the stream of light and snatched a ring from it.
This thing actually wanted to take him away from Earth and fly to the Oa Galaxy!
Are you insane!
Even for a proposal, you gotta let me see who it is!
"Green Lantern ring? How is that possible!"
Batman was the person who found it hardest to accept, followed by Wonder Woman.
"What is a Green Lantern ring?"
Flash was still just a newly started superhero, unfamiliar with many things in society, and didn’t know what a Green Lantern ring meant.
"The Green Lantern ring only selects warriors of excellent moral character and sends them to the Oa Galaxy for modification. The Green Lantern of Coast City is one of them. Barry, your qualifications are still too shallow, you’ll know in the future!"
Batman said without turning his head.
The Green Lantern ring selected this mysterious, vile man?
Doesn’t this mean that although the other party beats up the elderly and children, makes dark jokes about other people’s parents, and has a bit of knightly vibe, secretly he is a bright and cheerful big boy?
Comprehensively developed in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor.
With excellent conduct.
He was truly a... good man!
The more Batman thought about it, the harder it was to endure.
Even harder to endure than him was Lucas.
He had caused a mess of destruction in this Universe, and even tortured the Flashpoint next door into who-knows-what, yet the Green Lantern ring still chose him?
"Brother, in my opinion, your future is extremely bright!"
"But as for the Supreme Will, I think the Seven-Color Spectrum might soon become a Six-Color Spectrum!"
"Do you know that?"
Lucas flicked that ring with his finger.
The Green Lantern ring glowed faintly, as if it could understand his words.
But the Green Lantern ring still wanted to put itself on his hand.
This is fucking bizarre!
A ring would never choose the wrong person; everyone selected by a power ring was the most suitable warrior.
For example, the Parallax version of Hal Jordan.
Jordan’s mentor, Sinestro.
And Bruce Wayne.
Without exception, all of these people had fallen into corruption.
Throughout the Universe, the Green Lanterns always had their reasons when choosing successors!
"Those chosen by the Green Lantern are the bearers of hope!"
Batman’s gaze became even more complicated.
The other party clearly didn’t want to wear the Green Lantern ring, yet the ring insisted on clinging to him.
Is there any justice left in this world?
"I’m not interested in the Green Lanterns, kid. Laozi can pick up Parallax and beat it up, you Green Lanterns are really weak!"
Lucas flicked that ring flying away again.
But the Green Lantern ring always flew back toward Lucas.
The presence of a power ring nearby meant that a Green Lantern had already died in the solar system, possibly Hal Jordan, or perhaps another passing holder.
After all, according to the setting, there was only one Green Lantern per sector.
"Wait! Does that mean he’s really not a bad guy?"
Flash discovered a blind spot.
Batman still shook his head. "Hard to say!"
Wonder Woman wriggled over to Lucas’s feet again, frantically rubbing her chest against his feet.
"Aiya, how annoying are you, get lost!"
This time Lucas used a bit more force, directly kicking Diana two li away.
Everyone looked at the power ring again.
Unexpectedly, the Green Lantern ring acted as if it didn’t see anything, rubbing back and forth on Lucas’s finger.
Batman was completely exhausted!
This must be a fake Green Lantern ring.
Right!
Fake!
"Fine, fine, anyway, one more piece of junk from you doesn’t make a difference!" Lucas spread his palms, signaling the ring to find a spot itself.
The ring adjusted its size and put itself on Lucas’s middle finger.
Lucas raised his middle finger at everyone in the Justice League.
"Hmm, this Green Lantern ring is not bad. Although the energy is tiny and the color is ugly, who called me a scavenger? I love collecting all kinds of little trinkets!"
Everyone: "..."
Look! He was even looking down on it!
