Chapter 4098: MU: The Super-Body Event (Part 186)

Just as Nick and the others expected, Darkseid's biggest enemy was the main universe Batman. So when he obtained powerful power and ascended above the single universe, the first thing he did was to find trouble with the main universe Batman. At this moment, Manhattan Batman and Super-Body were already fighting Nightmare Darkseid.

That's right; only when the two of them combine can they go head-to-head with Nightmare Darkseid. After all, Nightmare Darkseid also possesses two types of Origin Power, and the two are combined quite well; neither his physical attacks nor his mental attacks are weak. As long as one has intelligence, it is hard to avoid being affected, so this battle is quite a struggle.

Although Manhattan Batman could use high-dimensional suppression when dealing with mages, it didn't work against Nightmare Darkseid. The other party was a multiverse-level existence; dimensions couldn't limit him at all, and besides, he had the Nightmare Realm. This thing didn't belong to any dimension, and couldn't be quantum-converted.

Fortunately, Super-Body's life force could suppress dark power, but he had no way to deal with dream power either. The two just kept harassing back and forth with quantum attacks and life force attacks, but they had no way to force Nightmare Darkseid back.

Not to mention that the Nightmare Realm kept spreading in this direction; it wouldn't be long before this place was completely shrouded. Although Manhattan Batman and Super-Body weren't afraid of him, there were still some ordinary heroes here, and it was time for them to withdraw.

"Still have to go to Earth," Arkham Batman said. "The magic defense network naturally restrains all energy. Even if Darkseid expands the nightmare dimension to the whole universe, he might not be able to shake Earth's magic defense network."

"I naturally understand," the main universe Batman said. "But we can't leave yet; we have to wait a while longer."

"Although it's better to let them take the initiative to find us, now is obviously not the time to care about face," Adventure Batman advised. He thought it was the main universe Batman who wanted to fight for the right to speak, so he wanted the people on the opposite side to come find them.

The main universe Batman shook his head and said: "We invited Dr. Pym of the main universe; he is currently cracking the Pym particle effect on a mysterious object; the experiment is at a critical moment and cannot be moved easily. We must hold on here for at least 10 hours."

"If it's 10 hours, it should be no problem," Arkham Batman frowned and said. "After all, the speed of the nightmare realm's expansion is not fast, so it shouldn't be able to reach here yet. But what exactly is that mysterious object for?"

"It's not clear yet, but it must be very important," the main universe Batman said. "Perhaps it will become one of our big killers. Bruce!"

Bruce, who was sitting there, turned his head to look at him and said: "What?"

"You go try to see if you can interfere with the dark power in Darkseid's body; that was originally the power you brought over. If you can cause interference to him, it will be much simpler to deal with him later."

Bruce didn't move at all; he just shook his head and said: "Don't talk about me, even if Barbatos came, it would be useless. That thing has completely fused with dream power and become a new source power. I can't control it at all anymore."

The main universe Batman fell into deep thought. But at this moment, Bruce continued: "However, Barry can pass through the nightmare realm."

The main universe Batman immediately looked at him. Bruce continued: "I already let him go over. Although he can't do anything now, maybe he can give him a hard hit at a critical moment."

The main universe Batman knew that the Barry in the universe where Bruce was had a very special Speed Force, which seemed to be a fusion of Speed Force and dark power. Then, since both were fusion powers of dark power, there might be similarities between the two, and they could also be connected. Barry lurking in the nightmare power might really be able to play a key role.

After the meeting, Bruce came to the ward. Hal's face was still a bit pale; he had also been blown up quite badly before, barely picking up a life, but his energy was basically exhausted.

Bruce walked to his bedside and said seriously: "Are you sure you want to do this? I always feel..."

"We must do this," Hal said. "No matter who created Nightmare Darkseid, he must want to upgrade this war to a multiverse level. Then for us, it is also a good opportunity to improve our status in the multiverse. After all, everyone else is almost dead, and it's our turn to show off."

"I feel it's completely unnecessary to fight so hard," Bruce sighed and said. "It's not that I'm unwilling to contribute, but no matter how our universe fights, it's impossible to compete with the main universe. And I also don't want the main universe Batman to know the situation of our universe..."

"It can't be hidden," Hal said. "He will know sooner or later. If we can perform well in this war, then even if he discovers it, he won't be able to say anything. After all, it didn't delay us from saving the world."

Bruce sighed and said: "You are doing this for me; I understand it all. After all, if Brainiac is exposed, the one under the greatest pressure is me. You fighting so hard to perform is all so that I won't be nagged by the main universe Batman."

Hal laughed and said: "It doesn't matter; anyway, you aren't Batman anymore; at worst, don't hang out with them. You are in a separate column; if he wants to find you, he won't be able to."

"But he will go complain to the Professor," Bruce rolled his eyes and said.

"Don't talk about this; has the thing that was placed on me before been figured out what it is?"

"The main universe Batman said it's still being studied. Because of this, we might have to withdraw 10 hours late."

"That's just right; it would be hard to handle if we were on Earth. Because that might endanger ordinary people; it's safer here."

"Have you really considered it? You..."

Hal didn't speak, just stared at Bruce. After a while, Bruce sighed and said: "Alright, let's do it tonight."

At night, the main universe Batman naturally wouldn't rest, but he also had many things to do, such as helping Dr. Pym study that mysterious object; he basically stayed in the laboratory all night.

And Bruce and Hal took advantage of the darkness to sneak to the Lantern Furnace—that was the seven-lantern power brought by the main universe Batman from his own universe, which was the power of the emotional spectrum. Quite a bit had already been consumed before, but a little was left.

Hal extracted the power and stored it in his own power ring—that was the power ring that had accompanied him from the beginning. He touched the ring on his hand gently, looked at Bruce and said: "Start."

Bruce also placed his hand on his ring. Then, the rich dark power began to continuously pour into the ring, entangling and fusing with the green light emitted by the ring, and then this mixed energy was absorbed into Hal's body.

He let out a low, painful groan and fell to his knees. That kind of energy intertwined with green and black began to cover his whole body. He seemed to have suffered great pain, and his whole body was twitching. Bruce's hands trembled, and he stepped forward, reaching out to support him, but was dodged by Hal.

He gritted his teeth and operated this terrible energy over and over again. The two powers collided constantly, triggering hundreds of millions of explosions in his body every second. This kind of pain was unimaginable, but Hal endured it all with his extremely strong willpower.

Finally, black and green began to gradually fuse, turning into a mysterious dark green. And Barbatos's figure began to appear constantly in Hal's mind; his spirit seemed to be connected to the Dark Kingdom, seeing Barbatos's magnificent body, seeing those wings that covered the sky and the sun, and the endless black tide surging below.

The green lantern's lantern beast, Ion, also emerged from behind him, and dark green power began to gradually entwine on his body. This power also extended outward constantly, making his spine bulge, gradually growing limbs, the head growing spikes, and a pair of huge black wings growing on his back, changing from a shark to a dragon, becoming more ferocious and powerful.

Until the end, dark green light filled the entire space, and even shot out from the room, completely swallowing Hal's figure. After the light gradually disappeared, Hal was still that Hal, but he had completely changed his appearance.

His battle robe, the green parts on it, all turned dark green, complementing the golden patterns. The eyes under the helmet surged with the same light, appearing colder than the original green outfit. And the green lantern ring on his hand also turned dark green, and the pattern was no longer the pattern of the Lantern Corps, but a brand-new, unique emblem belonging only to Hal—a logo composed of the letters H and J.

This meant that Hal was no longer a Green Lantern; he had completely broken away from the control of the Lantern Corps and became an independent Lantern. The power he used was no longer just the power of the emotional spectrum, but also fused with the dark power of the world's source.

Hal, floating in mid-air, didn't move. Suddenly, a pair of huge wings unfolded on his back, exactly the same as Barbatos's. He folded his wings and landed, gently squeezed his fingers, the light of power converged, and the wings disappeared accordingly.

Hal exhaled gently: "Emerald Power..."

Bruce walked over from the edge of the room and said: "Success?"

Hal nodded and said: "Yes, very unique."

"How do you feel now?"

"Unprecedentedly powerful," Hal said. "This kind of source dark power seems to be related to Batman, and Batman's willpower will further strengthen the green lantern energy that represents willpower. My previous speculation was correct; these two powers are complementary."

Bruce breathed a sigh of relief and said: "But I have to say, this kind of speculation is too bold. Who would have thought that the darkest power in the universe and the power of the Lantern ring of justice could fuse?"

"This was inspired by Barry," Hal said. "Before this, no one had thought that dark power could fuse with the Speed Force. It seems that this kind of source dark power seems to be able to fuse very well with various powers."

"After all, everything has a dark side," Bruce said. "What I'm most worried about is whether this power will stimulate the dark side in your heart."

"I haven't hit you yet, so it shouldn't be," Hal said angrily. "However, if you dare to throw that biting phone into my office again, it might not be so sure."

Bruce smiled brilliantly, walked over and gave Hal a hug, then said: "Welcome back, Emerald Lantern."

The commotion here had long since attracted the attention of the main universe Batman. And when he saw Hal walking out, his eyes narrowed, and then he cast his gaze on Bruce.

"Don't look at him anymore; this time it was my idea," Hal turned back and said. "Now, it's time to give Darkseid a good look." ===== CHAPTER 4099 =====
