Chapter 4460

Looking at the seven power batteries placed in front of him, Hal's jaw almost dropped. He tremblingly extended his finger and said: "This... this this this this..."

"Batman did it." Schiller said very straightforwardly.

Hal just wanted to open his mouth to say something, but remembered Sinestro going to attack Apokolips without hesitation, while ignoring Earth. He took a deep breath and said: "Truly amazing."

"But I heard he wants to extract life force..."

"He's not stupid, why would he leave the Seven Lights power unused and insist on extracting his own life force?"

"Oh, that's right." Hal only then reacted and said, "Then we must make it clear to Clark later; he is worried to death."

Schiller shook his head and said: "Don't tell him."

Hal looked at him somewhat puzzled, and Schiller said: "Superman needs idealistic power. He needs to have a more definite and important goal to exert the most powerful strength."

"This isn't very good, is it?" Hal hesitated somewhat, clearly his conscience was hurting. He said, "Will Clark really accept this behavior that is close to deception? Or do you think you can hide it from him to the end?"

"You don't understand him, nor do you understand his relationship with Batman." Schiller walked around the table and said, "When he learns that it was Batman who deceived him, and that Batman didn't extract his own life force, he will only feel happy."

Hal opened his mouth again, but couldn't refute. If it were someone else, he felt Clark would definitely be angry, but if it were Batman, it's really hard to say. The relationship between the two of them is truly too strange for others to judge.

"You called me here just to let me know about this?"

"Just to remind you not to save it." Schiller tapped the power battery and said, "The Green Lantern energy here is almost endless; if it's not enough, you can draw it from the emotional spectrum. You can let go and give them a taste of their own medicine."

Hal immediately rubbed his hands and said: "Great, finally don't have to worry about any quotas. I'll let them see the power of Earth's Green Lantern right now."

"There is one more thing." Schiller continued, "Has Sinestro ever told you about Lantern rings other than the Colored Lantern Corps?"

Hal was stunned, but shook his head and said: "Actually, I don't even know much about the Colored Lantern Corps."

The "Colored Lantern Corps" in Schiller's mouth, the full name is "Colored Lantern Ring Lantern Corps," also called "Rainbow Light Lantern Corps," which is the seven-colored Lantern Corps of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple; the abilities they use are collectively called "Seven Lights Power."

Since there is a Colored Lantern Corps, there is a Colorless Lantern Corps. The Black Light power used by Nekron belongs to the Colorless Lantern. And besides the Colorless Lantern, there is also invisible light.

Currently, in the vast majority of universes, only the Colored Lantern Corps has appeared. The Batmen are also still studying the Seven Lights power. As for the Colorless Lantern and invisible light, most universes have not yet been involved. This universe is the same.

"Nekron is the controller of Black Light power." Schiller looked at Hal and said, "It belongs to a type of Colorless Lantern Corps. And Batman has already learned from a certain universe that besides the Black Lantern, there is also the White Lantern."

"White Lantern? Can it restrain the Black Lantern?"

"Yes. The attribute of the White Lantern is life force, which corresponds exactly to death power. Batman and I are searching for the existence of the White Lantern. But like other Lantern Corps, the White Lantern power must have a carrier to exert its power."

Hal suddenly realized and said: "Are you looking at me? But I have already been polluted by death power; can I really pass the White Lantern test?"

"You have been polluted by death power? Really?"

Hal looked down at his arm; although the corpse spots on it were not heavy, they did exist. He sighed silently; he might have been the first to be polluted. If he could have been a bit more alert at that time, perhaps it wouldn't have come to this.

Schiller turned around and took a bottle of wine from the cabinet next to him. Hal didn't know what he wanted to do. Schiller saw that he didn't remember and reminded him: "Don't remember what you drank at the Christmas party?"

"Christmas party?" Hal was really a bit confused. Don't look at how little time has passed, but the things he has experienced recently are really a bit too many, making him feel like years have passed, and he really can't remember what happened at the Christmas party.

Schiller handed the wine bottle to him, Hal looked inside, and there was only a little bit of wine left. He carefully recalled it, and his memory finally returned. Didn't he take this bottle of wine home? How could it be in Schiller's hands?

Hal instinctively felt something was wrong. He remembered that his training was not going well at the time, he was a bit depressed, so he took the expensive red wine he brought back from the party and drank it. But later when he wanted to find this bottle of wine, he couldn't find it. He thought he was drunk at the time and put it in a mess, not knowing where he put it, but it turned out it was taken by Schiller?

"What did you take this for?" Hal asked subconsciously, then reacted and said, "You went to my apartment?"

Hal's face immediately became somewhat ugly. Although there was nothing shameful in his apartment, this kind of behavior of breaking into private territory was still very uncomfortable.

"I poisoned you." Schiller's one sentence almost choked Hal to death.

"To be precise, it was Batman and I together." Schiller lowered his eyes and said, "At the first gathering, he saw your taste and specially chose a bottle of red wine that suited your taste. He added his specially made toxin to it."

Hal was completely stunned on the spot, his brain unable to accept such outrageous information. After a while, he asked: "Toxin? What toxin?"

"The toxin that makes your training not go well." Schiller looked at him with a calm expression and said, "The physical weakness, limb stiffness, breathing problems, etc., that you felt during training were because you were poisoned."

Hal was struck by lightning. Before he could ask, Schiller continued: "Of course, because you drank to drown your sorrows because training was not going well, more toxins entered your body, which also triggered symptoms such as muscle inactivity and skin bruising."

"Why... why did you do this?!"

Hal remembered that when he wanted to go to the hospital for an examination because of these various symptoms, he was also intercepted by Batman and went to the Batcave for an examination instead. No wonder, this makes sense.

If he went to the hospital for an examination, the doctor might be able to see that he was poisoned. But after going to the Batcave, Batman reached an incomparably absurd conclusion that "he is already dead."

"In order to make you believe." Schiller looked into Hal's eyes and said, "Green Lantern's power comes from belief. Only if you believe it yourself will the corresponding symptoms appear, without being discovered by anyone."

Hal was still very confused and said: "Then why do you want me to show such symptoms?"

"Of course, it's for today." Schiller said, "You have to make Nekron believe that you have been polluted by death power. They will think your fall is a matter of time, so they won't focus on you."

Hal finally understood. Openly repair the plank road, secretly cross the Chencang. It turned out that Batman and Schiller had such an idea.

What's even more terrifying is that this plan started so early. Could it be that they had already anticipated Nekron's descent at that time?

"It was me." Schiller said, "At that time, I probably guessed where the death power came from, so I set up such a trap with Batman to confuse them."

Schiller was naturally talking about Nekron. Although the relatives of the Justice League had not been resurrected at that time, the dark power had been lurking in the dark and had not appeared. But Schiller knew the comic plot. To put it bluntly, there are only a few villains with this kind of pure negative power in the multiverse; Barbatos was excluded first, so the probability of Nekron was very high.

Therefore, he made this suggestion to Batman. Although Batman didn't know where he got the information, there was no harm in preparing early. According to the information provided by Schiller, he developed some toxins that could make the human body have corpse characteristics and put them into the wine Hal liked.

After Hal drank the wine, his body was uncomfortable everywhere, and he was tricked into the Batcave for an examination, finally reaching an absurd conclusion. But because it was Batman who reached the conclusion, and various signs indicated that things were indeed as he said, plus later going to the Green Lantern headquarters, Sinestro didn't see any clues either, so Hal naturally thought that he had indeed been hit by the mastermind's trick.

Sinestro once said that Green Lantern energy requires belief and imagination, that is, the depth and breadth of imagination. Once Hal firmly believes in something, Green Lantern energy will also react accordingly. He felt that he had become a corpse, so various characteristics that only corpses would have would gradually appear on his body. So even if the toxin weakened with metabolism, these characteristics would always exist along with Hal's belief.

"I don't understand." Hal said, "Could it be that Nekron wouldn't know whether he had taken action against me? Doesn't he know whether the power on my body is real or fake?"

"You are not trying to deceive Nekron, but his subordinate Blackest Day legion." Schiller smiled and said, "As long as they see the traces on your body, they will feel that you have been polluted, so naturally they won't focus on you."

Hal frowned deeply, then said: "Then wouldn't Nekron tell them?"

"Do you think Nekron can communicate directly with his subordinates?"

This question made Hal fall into deep thought. His instinctive reaction was of course "Why couldn't he?"

It should have been like this originally. A dignified mastermind, how could he not communicate with his subordinates in person? If they can't even communicate, what kind of war are they fighting?

But thinking carefully, something is wrong. Judging from the performance of the relatives who were resurrected before, they don't look like they have been guided by an expert. If Nekron could really guide their actions in their minds at all times, he wouldn't have messed things up like that.

The most obvious one is Amanda. Amanda is not incapable; otherwise, she wouldn't have climbed from the lowest level of ordinary agent to her position today. But her biggest shortcoming is that she becomes arrogant once she gets what she wants. When someone can suppress her and let her be an executor, her ability is still okay.

But once she formulates plans herself, she will mess everything up. And judging from her performance this time, she is clearly not completely controlled by Nekron, and hasn't even been influenced much, otherwise she wouldn't have messed things up like this.

And the wavering of Damian and Steve also shows that Nekron doesn't monitor and manipulate them at all times, and it is very likely that he hasn't communicated with them from beginning to end.

Does he not want to, or can he not?

Or both. Hal thought that to defeat Steppenwolf that day, he took the initiative to absorb the Yellow Lantern power. At that time, he could feel that the life form of the Yellow Lantern entity Parallax was completely different from humans.

In the eyes of such existences, there is no need and no way to communicate with humans. They can use some simple methods to provoke intelligent life to fight, but they have no way to command in person, because intelligent life is too small for them.

It's like fighting crickets; humans can choose strong crickets, can prepare cages for them, and can even play tricks on the grass where crickets fight, but you cannot control every subtle movement of the crickets, nor can you understand what they are calling. This is the essential difference in life forms.

In addition, Nekron hasn't completely broken free. The means he can use in the multiverse are very limited, and I'm afraid he really can't micromanage every subordinate. Even if he could control them, there would be a delay. Schiller and Batman are probably trying to catch this time difference.
