Chapter 294: Green Lantern, Yellow Lantern, and the Little Blue Men

The basement of Wei En Manor appeared somewhat old and dim, which made the conversation between Schiller, Batman, and Sinestro look more like an interrogation taking place in the Middle Ages.

Although Sinestro completely failed to understand why the yellow light energy wouldn't be controlled by him but instead obeyed the orders of the weirdo in the black tight-fitting suit in front of him, and also completely didn't know why he couldn't call the energy of the yellow Power Battery, the only thing he knew was that now, without the assistance of the power ring's energy, he had nowhere to escape.

"Can you talk about your origin? Or rather, how exactly did you become the Sinestro Corps Commander?"

Sinestro narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect Schiller's first question to be this. He said, "It seems you already have some understanding of the Light Corps. But as far as I know, the Light Corps hasn't developed in the sector where Earth is located, and the entire Earth only has one Green Lantern..."

"That's right. But I'm afraid we know more than you imagine."

"For example?"

"You'd better answer my question first."

"If you don't tell me what you know, what exactly do you want me to tell you?"

"Don't change the subject. I know what you're thinking. You'd better not try to fool us with those words used to fool the natives of remote planets. Don't mention any theory of Light Corps supremacy; I just want to know, how did the greatest Green Lantern become a Yellow Lantern?"

"It seems you indeed know quite a lot." Sinestro took a breath. He didn't seem to want to hide this. He said, "Because I caught a glimpse of the dirty conspiracy behind the Green Lantern Corps, or rather, behind all Light Corps."

"Oh?" Schiller leaned his body forward, appearing quite interested. He asked, "What is that?"

"You should know the origin of the Light Corps, right?" Sinestro sighed, and then he told the origin story of power rings and Light Corps himself.

All of this has to start from the most ancient and advanced civilization in the universe. Now they are called the Guardians of the Universe, but more comic readers like to call them "Little Blue Men."

This is an ancient advanced civilization in the universe. When this civilization developed to its peak, they began to have the idea of guarding the universe. So, they used the emotional spectrum in the universe to manufacture power rings and developed the Light Corps.

"When I first joined the Green Lantern Corps, I thought the will of the Guardians of the Universe was supreme. They were a race possessing great wisdom and noble character, taking guarding the universe as their own responsibility."

"But just one day, I received the selection of another great existence. In the dark, I heard her voice. She told me another story..."

"Those existences who claim to be Guardians of the Universe are actually just a bunch of selfish and arrogant aliens. They actually never guarded this universe from beginning to end..."

When Sinestro spoke to this point, Schiller touched his forehead, looked into Sinestro's eyes, and asked him, "Are you saying that someone told you the truth? Who is he?"

"I don't know. But he showed me evidence. At that time, I was the most powerful Green Lantern, so I could contact the total energy of the Green Lantern Corps. It was there that I discovered it, which is Parallax."

"That voice told me that it was that group of people who call themselves Guardians of the Universe who put Parallax into the total energy of the green light, making it the weakness of Green Lanterns. And they did this just to better control the Green Lantern Corps."

"Green Lanterns have actually always been tools for them to control the universe. Those so-called maintaining justice and maintaining universal peace are all lies."

"So you defected from the Green Lantern Corps?"

Sinestro sighed and said, "After I discovered all this, I hadn't made a decision yet, because I knew that the person who told me this must also want to use me to do something. He might not be more noble than the Guardians of the Universe."

"However, my act of probing the total energy of the green light was discovered by those Guardians of the Universe. They were already suspicious of me. I couldn't stay in the Green Lantern Corps any longer. So, I found an opportunity, released Parallax, and left the Green Lantern Corps with it."

"Did that voice look for you afterward?"

Sinestro shook his head and said to Schiller, "I speculate that this person might have a grudge against the Guardians of the Universe, but I can't be sure, because that group of blue-skinned Guardians of the Universe has a quite developed civilization and a high level of life. People who can oppose them don't need to use me to do anything..."

"Perhaps, that person just couldn't do anything for the time being..."

Sinestro said this, and Schiller already had a guess in his heart, because the greatest enemy and opponent of the Guardians of the Universe is the "First Lantern."

The grievances between these two sides still have to start from the origin of the Little Blue Men.

This race is indeed very advanced, but perhaps a bit too advanced. Their logical thinking and way of handling things are simply not something that carbon-based organisms can understand, and even for any intelligent creature, it's a bit too early.

If you have to give a comment on the performance of this race in the comics, it is: causing trouble is basically failure, thinking is basically chaotic, decision-making is basically wrong, and the result is basically rotten.

This group of blue-skinned aliens can be called the universe's stirrers of shit. They always make a major wrong decision that has a significant impact at the wrong time and wrong place, and then create a bunch of messes, letting other creatures in the universe wipe their asses. Simply put, they cause trouble, they play out of control, they run away, they pass the buck.

The point to talk about is their buck-passing behavior. This word simply runs through the history of this race from beginning to end.

At the beginning, the Little Blue Men sprouted the idea of guarding the universe, which is to say they sprouted the idea of causing trouble. At this time, the First Lantern from another universe came to this universe to save his destroyed hometown and sought the help of emotional spectrum energy. After he met the Little Blue Men, the two sides hit it off and began research on the emotional spectrum.

It was smooth at first, but as they researched, the Little Blue Men discovered that the power of the emotional spectrum was truly too powerful!

And then what did they do?

They decided to eliminate their own emotions.

In the logical thinking of carbon-based organisms, there should be no causal relationship between the two, but this so-called advanced intelligent race just thought so and did so.

Then, in the experimental process, the Little Blue Men discovered again that after applying the power of the emotional spectrum to the First Lantern, the First Lantern was also too powerful!

So they thought, let's eliminate the First Lantern too!

But the First Lantern was already very powerful, and the Little Blue Men could only imprison him.

From the grievances between the Little Blue Men and the First Lantern, it can be seen that the evaluation of them is not wrong at all.

Discovering that the emotional spectrum is a very powerful force, the Little Blue Men passed the buck to their own emotions and decided to eliminate their own emotions. Discovering that the First Lantern is a very powerful existence, the Little Blue Men passed the buck to the First Lantern and decided to eliminate him.

But if you say they can really harden their hearts to do things to the end, that's fine, but their internal decision-making is also a mess. Some people want to eliminate emotions, some don't want to, some want to use the power of the emotional spectrum, and some worry that it's too dangerous.

Finally, they thought of a compromise. They created the Green Lantern Corps, and then stuffed an ancient creature representing fear into the green lantern, making the yellow fear power the weakness of Green Lanterns. Finally, they painted their whole house yellow, thinking that Green Lanterns wouldn't be able to attack them.

Anyway, for humans, this way of thinking is more or less a bit difficult to understand.

According to what Sinestro said, it should be the First Lantern who sent a message to him, revealing the secret of the Little Blue Men, and let him check the total energy of the green light, then released Parallax, and established the Sinestro Corps. But this still didn't explain why all this was moved ahead of schedule.

The only change is that Schiller remembers that there was no plot of the First Lantern contacting Sinestro in the original work. So what exactly is going on with the First Lantern? Is he about to be freed? Or has he already been freed? If it's the latter, then it's a bit dangerous.

The First Lantern is a very powerful existence. In the comics, he has a performance that almost caused the universe to restart. When he contacted Sinestro, it meant he should want to do something.

Schiller's thoughts extended to a very far place, because there were a bit too many things beyond his expectations recently. One is that he originally thought the Laughing Egg couldn't be born in this universe, but he dug out an unhatched Laughing Egg in the depths of Bruce's dream, which is not normal.

The second is that the First Lantern acted ahead of schedule and created the Sinestro Corps, which might mean that the conflict between him and the Little Blue Men is about to break out ahead of schedule.

Could there be a connection between these two abnormalities?

Schiller thought a lot, but he didn't tell Batman all this, otherwise Batman wouldn't be able to sleep for the whole year.

Now, Batman, who hasn't even left the novice village, doesn't have the ability to participate in major universal events. But clearly, these successive changes could bring crises beyond Batman's ability to bear at any time, which might lead to the entire universe falling in a dangerous direction.

To avoid the appearance of this situation, a plan gradually formed in Schiller's mind.

After Schiller and Batman walked out of the basement of Wei En Manor, he said to Batman, "You'd better find a safer measure to lock this guy up; it might be useful in the future."

"In addition..." Schiller took a key ring out of his coat pocket. Besides a series of keys, there was also a series of rings hanging on that key ring.

He opened the key ring, then took those rings off it, handed them to Batman, and said, "These are the power rings that were attracted by me before. The energy of the rings all entered the dream, so the remaining entities can no longer return to the corps. You can try to see if you can crack the secrets inside..."

"Martial God Asura"

Batman stared at the pile of rings in his hand with his consistent suspicious gaze. Today's conversation with Sinestro made him realize the vastness and danger of the universe outside Earth.

"Are you feeling nervous? Planning to add some more intensity to your training regimen? Actually, I have a better method..."

Batman turned to look at Schiller, but Schiller didn't continue, instead turning his head back.

"Batman..." Schiller's tone lowered, just like when he and Batman first met in the alley. He said:

"... Have a good dream." ===== CHAPTER 295 =====
