Chapter 4386: Far Star Project (Part 11)

"Victor," Hal flew back to the headquarters base and said: "Can you connect to the internet outside of Earth?"

"What?" Victor looked up, somewhat surprised.

"I mean, if there is an energy channel that can reach outer planets without limit, you don't need to worry about the principle; can you use this to hack into the network signals on the other side that have been in contact with this energy?"

Victor scratched his head and said: "I don't know, I haven't tried it. Do you have something very urgent?"

"Something attacked Barry. I suspect that thing might be aimed at me, but I don't know what it is." Hal thought for a moment and said: "So I want you to hack into the Green Lantern headquarters to see if you can find any information."

"Then can't you just ask directly?"

"They don't really like me. And I can't be too far from Barry now; I'm afraid they will take advantage of the situation. Speed Force getting out of control is too fatal."

Victor nodded and said: "Fine, I can try, but don't hold too much hope; this doesn't sound like something that can be done."

Hal first stretched out the hand wearing the ring, then began to communicate with the Green Lantern headquarters using Green Lantern energy; he was brought to the Green Lantern headquarters like this before. The Green Lantern headquarters responded quickly. At the same time, Victor touched his ring.

In an instant, the light in his mechanical eye turned from red to green. After flickering a few times, Victor withdrew his hand and said: "Although I don't know the principle, it seems it really works. But the other party also has a very powerful network protection system. Give me half an hour."

At this time, Bruce walked out, holding mechanical drawings, seemingly wanting to talk to Victor. Hal hurriedly stopped him and said: "Sorry, Mr. Wei En, please wait a moment; I'm really in a hurry here."

Bruce paused, but still nodded compliantly and went to the side to make coffee. Hal breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: Bruce Wei En is truly a very good logistics manager; with him here, the base is always their warm home.

Victor soon gave the result, saying: "The things you want to check are vaguely mentioned in the Green Lantern headquarters' network. But I found some clues in another main brain connected to the protection network."

"What is it?"

"Parallax," Victor paused and said, "That is a monster gathered from fear, which committed evil in the universe many years ago and was finally sealed by the strongest Green Lantern. Its iconic power, the power of fear, is yellow, and it is mutually restrained with Green Lantern energy."

"Mutually restrained?"

"How should I put it... if Green Lantern energy is strong enough, it's green restraining yellow; if yellow lantern energy is strong enough, it's yellow restraining green."

"You said that as if you didn't say anything."

"You should know this better than me." Victor looked at him and said, "Green Lantern energy comes from willpower. If your willpower is strong enough, you can restrain fear. Conversely, those with weak willpower will be restrained by fear."

"But Barry is not a person with weak willpower."

"Everyone has weaknesses." Victor said, "Everyone is afraid of different things. When facing the thing you are most afraid of, no one can say they will definitely be very firm. Barry might have seen the thing he is most afraid of."

Hal let out a heavy sigh: "Doomsday, Steppenwolf, Parallax... what else?"

He instinctively felt something was wrong. These monsters either don't come, or they all come together; he didn't believe there was no one manipulating it from behind. But he didn't understand what the purpose of the mastermind was.

If it was to deal them a heavy blow with disasters erupting together, in fact, these monsters wouldn't cooperate; not only wouldn't they cooperate, they might even hinder each other. Since they couldn't work together and would hinder each other, it would be better not to come together.

A true wheel battle is when one comes and not long after another comes, so that the enemy's physical strength can be consumed. But now, throwing several monsters who are enemies of each other directly, it looks more like taking the opportunity to muddy the water and let people escape.

Thinking of this, Hal had some ideas. He flew back to the hospital again and said to Barry, who was sitting in front of the bed in a daze: "It's already clear; that monster is aimed at me, but I'm afraid I need your help."

Barry looked at him somewhat suspiciously, and Hal sat opposite him and said: "You need to overcome your fear, face the monster turned from fear, and then find a way to lure him over."

Barry widened his eyes.

Diana came to Mount Olympus; she already knew where her mother was. She came all the way to the Palace of Hephaestus and sure enough saw the Amazon Queen here.

"Mother, it's good that you're okay."

"Diana." The Queen held her daughter's hand and said, "Steppenwolf is here, right?"

Diana nodded and said, "Do you know him?"

"Darkseid was driven out of Earth by Zeus a long, long time ago; I only heard about it. However, there was an anomaly in the cube, and I knew it was him again, so I hurriedly ran here to take refuge."

Diana was somewhat puzzled, and the Amazon Queen continued to explain: "I know, you think I'm not the kind of monarch who abandons her sisters and flees alone when disaster strikes. However, this time is different. Whether I am safe is not important; the cube cannot have any accidents, otherwise, it will be a disaster for the entire Earth."

"What exactly is that?" Diana asked.

"Mother Box, if you have to say it, it's probably something similar to the source power of the universe. With this thing, you can unify the universe. Darkseid has big plans and is determined to get this thing. But if he gets it, the entire universe will fall into darkness."

This made Diana think of the dark power that appeared in their universe that they discussed before; could it be Darkseid? But she also felt something was wrong. Since Batman and the others were already ready to go, and Steppenwolf's lackeys had already appeared on Earth, they should have taken action. But not only other universes' Batmen, even theirs didn't move.

No, Diana thought again, the Batman of this universe didn't move, maybe it wasn't because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't. He had old injuries, and he was already old; probably he only had one last strike left. So unless it was a last resort, he wouldn't take action.

But this won't do. Diana realized that Steppenwolf was too strong; the entire Justice League combined was not his opponent. There were only two people who could deal with him: one was Superman, and one was Batman. Superman hadn't returned yet, and even if he started walking back now, it might not be in time, so only Batman could take action.

She took a deep breath, looked at her mother, and said, "Hiding here is not a solution, Mother. I'm going to the Garden of Hesperides."

"Garden of Hesperides? What are you going there for? Those three sisters are not easy to talk to..."

"Now is not the time to talk about this." Diana's expression became firm, and she said, "I asked them for golden apples before, but they refused to give them, insisting that those who haven't passed the trial don't deserve to get golden apples. Now I'll let them see whether I deserve it or not!"

"Diana! Diana!!!" the Queen shouted behind her, but couldn't stop Diana's departure. She knew her daughter very well; Diana was clearly pushed to the limit.

As Zeus's illegitimate daughter and a demigod of Mount Olympus, Diana actually had no good feelings for these gods and was usually very distant, trying her best not to provoke them. But just like every demigod who dared to step onto Mount Olympus, rebellious blood flowed in their bodies. And Diana's potential was the most outstanding among demigods.

Logically speaking, demigods could never compare to gods, but in reality, it was completely not the case. The human half of the bloodline, not only wouldn't make them weaker, but could help them break the shackles of the divine bloodline, allowing them to break through limits and possess more powerful strength.

The Amazon Queen looked in the direction of the Garden of Hesperides, hoping that after today, the Garden of Hesperides would still exist.

In the Justice League headquarters base, Bruce was studying drawings with Victor. A small model was floating in Victor's hand; this was the initial model they had just created, and there were still many unsatisfactory places, currently being modified.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the backyard, a "boom", and the whole house shook three times.

Both looked at the backyard; Victor was somewhat vigilant, but Bruce reached out to stop him. The two of them walked out from the back door together, and then saw that the base's backyard suddenly had an orchard.

Diana clapped her hands, walked over from the apple trees, looked at Bruce and said, "The golden apples you wanted, I got them for you."

"Give my regards to the three sisters for me." Bruce said.

"Too late, they won't be well." Diana looked at Bruce and said, "It won't be long before Hera starts hunting me down. It's all up to you, Batman."

Bruce nodded lightly and said, "Thank you."

Soon, Alfred carried a box of golden apples down the Batcave elevator. And at this time, there was another person in the Batcave. Schiller was leaning against the bar drinking coffee, while Bruce was adjusting the Hellbat armor.

"With the golden apples in hand, half the plan is complete. Now it depends on whether that mysterious dark power will show its head in this eventful autumn."

"Not that easy." Bruce said, "The pressure on the Justice League is not enough."

"Then what do you want? Let me recruit Steppenwolf and Parallax too, and then let the three of them work together to directly blow up the Earth?"

Bruce narrowed his eyes to look at him, and Schiller turned his head and said, "I'm not saying I can really do it; this is just a hypothesis..."

Bruce withdrew his gaze and said, "The headquarters is too stable; let Doomsday go over and make some trouble."

"That won't do. Your legal procedures are finished, and you belong to a legal institution in New Jersey. Doomsday is an enforcement officer of my department; without a search warrant, he cannot trespass into your department."

"A part of the materials for the space station I prepared was smuggled in." Bruce stood up straight, checked the shoulder armor of the Hellbat armor, and said, "Although you are not the Anti-Smuggling Bureau, we are a super-powered organization, and it should be up to you to come forward and search."

"Of all the Batmen I've seen, you are also one of the more ruthless ones." Schiller evaluated sincerely, "In order to make the Justice League rely on you, you've simply done all the bad things."

"Just be your mastermind." Bruce said without looking back, "When the curtain falls, I will go to cheer for you."

Schiller sneered and didn't speak. He remembered the night before he became the head of A. R. G. U. S., the call he received from Batman Bruce Wei En.

"Hello, Mr. Rodriguez. I have some things I want to talk to you about; may I ask if it's convenient for you to come to Wei En Manor?"

Schiller stood in front of the apartment window with his phone, watching the light of the long black luxury car's headlights cut across the street corner like a knife, cutting open the night curtain, and said, "Do I have the right to refuse?"
