Chapter 3935
The main universe Batman brought everyone to the Justice League headquarters, the Hall of Justice. Although a part of the Seven Lights power was taken away to build the magical defense network, there was actually quite a bit left. That huge power battery was moved to the circular hall on the east side, and even if it was separated by several walls, one could feel the amazing energy fluctuations emitted.
As soon as they stepped into the main hall of the Hall of Justice, all the mages looked in that direction one after another.
"What's going on over there?" someone asked.
"Should be another pillar of the defense network, right?" another person speculated, "Otherwise, how could there be such obvious energy fluctuations?"
"No," Constantine stared in that direction and said, "This is different from the energy fluctuation method of the pillars. It seems Batman's universe journey has gained quite a bit."
"I always feel this energy is a bit strange," the Nightmaster frowned and said, "It's different from the magical energy I usually come into contact with, and it carries a very strong... personality?"
"Because this isn't magical energy," Green Lantern said, "This is the power of the emotional spectrum, which, like magical energy, is the source power of the universe and is universal. However, because of the subtle differences in nature, it presents different states and has more magical effects."
"I can indeed read some things from it," Zatanna closed her eyes, seemingly meditating, "Firmness, compassion, anger, greed... these things are mixed together, giving me a very complicated feeling. It's as if..."
Speaking of this, Zatanna stopped talking. She slowly walked toward that direction. The main universe Batman watched her back and stepped forward to stop her, but after thinking about it, he stopped.
The mages finally came to the circular hall and saw the power battery that was almost overflowing with energy, each of them dumbfounded, and then the expressions on their faces when they looked at Batman were a bit complicated.
"If you had said you were so capable earlier, why would we have been wandering around? We would have directly voted to elect you as the new Sorcerer Supreme!"
Strange stared at the power battery and was also thoughtful. The main universe Batman looked at him, and Strange shook his head and said: "This kind of power is completely different from the magical energy of my universe. Although the magical energy of my universe also has various attributes, such as ice, fire, light, darkness, those are natural and rational. But the power you brought back is full of a kind of... vitality."
"Vitality?"
"Yes, what it seems to represent is the most important part of intelligent life in the universe, very close to God."
The main universe Batman began to think. In the previous discussion with the mechanical Batman, he had already understood: God is an emotional creature, so all living things in the universe take evolving emotions as the highest goal, because this can bring them closer to God.
Emotion should have been an ethereal thing, but here, emotion is a concrete power. The emotional spectrum is the embodiment of emotion, which makes the process of intelligent life using emotion as a driving force to transform the universe clearer and clearer, turning the abstract process into a concrete one.
Since that's the case, can it be said that the emotional spectrum is the connection between countless intelligent lives with emotions and the emotional creature God?
The commonality between them is expressed as concrete energy. Besides acting as energy, does this energy have any other uses?
The main universe Batman's thinking stopped here. Because, whether it is the source of the universe or God, he knows very little. He began to regret not listening carefully to the class on cosmic structure at the magic school.
Thinking about it now, the teaching content of Lucifer, which was like dream talk, might have hidden the truth of the universe, but no one could understand it at that time. Even if he were asked to talk about it again, Batman might not be able to understand it. This is the gap in the life level between them and the cosmic administrator, just like low-dimensional creatures can never understand high-dimensional creatures, just like humans have no way to understand a line on paper.
The mages, however, had already begun to discuss. Compared with Batman's rational analysis, they felt more emotionally. But this provided another different perspective, more abstract, more philosophical, sounding wild, but it couldn't be said to be wrong.
"As you can see, in the previous cosmic war, I accidentally obtained some special energy. The race that possesses this energy calls it the 'Seven Lights Power', also known as the Emotional Spectrum Power. Below, Green Lantern will introduce the emotional spectrum to everyone..."
The main universe Batman glanced at Green Lantern. Green Lantern had to step forward, cleared his throat, and briefly introduced the Lantern Corps and power rings. Logically speaking, the Lantern Corps and mages are not related, they don't understand each other, and they have no way to use each other's energy—at least that was the case before Oa was attacked.
Who in the universe can become a Lantern is decided by the Guardians. Only they can decide who the ring will fly to, although there are those who grab it hard, but there are not many after all. There are also Guardians who are lazy and use automatic programs to designate, but once they find the target is inappropriate, they can also take back the power ring.
For millions of years, except for the Yellow Lantern, no emotional spectrum power has flowed out, and it has been firmly controlled by the Guardians. So the races in the universe also default to this being a special power that cannot be used by anyone other than Lanterns.
However, after the Apokolips Legion landed on Oa, the part of the power that the main universe Batman brought out has already proven: any intelligent creature with emotions can use the power of the emotional spectrum, and the Guardians are just treacherous middlemen.
Then there is no essential difference between this power and magical power. Lanterns can use it, and mages can also use it; it may just be because the two use different methods.
The main universe Batman stated this speculation of his after Green Lantern, which immediately triggered a discussion among the mages. Some of them know Lanterns and also know that Lanterns are actually workers, and everything must be listened to by the Legion, even the greatest Green Lantern Alan is no exception.
So although Lanterns are powerful, mages haven't hit their ideas. The price of obtaining power is losing freedom, which won't do; those demons only want their souls after death, at least they can act freely while alive.
And now hearing what the main universe Batman said, they can use these powers freely without going through the Lantern Corps, and they were immediately excited. Not to mention how powerful Lanterns are, just the power in this furnace is ridiculously much, even if they can get a tiny bit, it's a fortune.
Suddenly, the look they looked at the main universe Batman changed. If it was slightly angry and resentful at the beginning, now it is looking at a money tree and a sweet pastry.
The Nightmaster is a good person, and the first thing he thought of was how to use this energy to strengthen Earth's defense. He looked at Batman and said: "Do you intend to use all this energy on the magical defense network? Or do you want to build some new defense system? Or weapons?"
"That won't be used up," the main universe Batman said, "And if there are no accidents, there will be a steady stream of supplements later. This is a sustainable energy."
Others looked at him with some surprise, including the Justice League. Only Green Lantern knew a little bit of the inside story.
How the Guardians intercepted the Seven Lights power, Batman and Darkseid can naturally intercept it. Darkseid's Apokolips domain is not short of energy; he wants this power mainly to study the essence of the universe through the emotional spectrum, and he can't take much, so it is mainly cheap for Batman. This is also the condition they agreed on at the beginning.
Batman cares much more about cosmic safety than the Guardians, so naturally he won't drain the pond to catch the fish. But thanks to the sustainable draining of the pond by the Guardians, the equipment they used had enough horsepower, even if they only drew a little bit, it was quite considerable.
The mages were even more excited. If it wasn't a one-off deal, Batman wouldn't be stingy, maybe he would really share some with them for research.
Facing the glowing eyes below, the main universe Batman just said very plainly: "I am preparing to build several laboratories around the Department of Magic. In addition to maintaining the magical defense network on weekdays, I will also do research on the emotional spectrum, as well as other magical research. I believe everyone has experience in this area, and now you can think about what direction you are good at, and you can directly join the job when the time comes."
"Of course, if you don't want to do research here, you can leave at any time. It's just that because the power of the emotional spectrum is too powerful, there are safety hazards in researching elsewhere, so energy cannot be taken away. Alright, those who want to leave can go."
Everyone looked at each other, and no one moved. Although punching in to work here is a bit boring, energy is the key; without energy, staying outside is also wandering.
However, they still have other problems to face. One of the mages raised his hand and said: "What about our creditors?"
Most of them are already mature mages, familiar with trading with demons, and some have not only sold their hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys, but even their souls have been sold multiple times, and they must have more than a dozen creditors. They usually have contact, if they suddenly lose contact, won't the other party come to collect debts?
"I don't know what you are afraid of," Strange snorted and said, "How many of your creditors are stronger than the demon we fought today? Those weaker than him can just be chopped. Those stronger than him, then call more people and then chop. If you really can't kill them, just write down the address, and when you practice to become stronger, go back to find the place. Isn't that enough?"
Hearing him speak so skillfully, the Justice League knew that the method he used to obtain energy in the original universe must also be uncivilized. But magic, what is emphasized is that a big fist is the hard truth, otherwise how can demons ride on human heads and poop? This thing cannot be too civilized.
The mages began to talk in low voices again. At this time, Constantine said: "I don't doubt that our current configuration can defeat those demons, but if too many creditors come to the door at once, it will not only consume the energy of the magical defense network for no reason, but also make us exhausted, and even the collected energy will have nowhere to put. In short, we don't have such a perfect magical system here, and this thing can't be built in a day or two."
"Then go to my universe in batches for training," Strange said, "In this way, the creditors can't find anyone, and they won't attack hard, and you can also learn the way of magic operation."
"This method is good," Zatanna nodded and said, "I have long been curious about magic schools. But there is also a problem, the magic on our side is ultimately different from yours, can we really learn anything?"
