Chapter 4539: Brightest Day (V)

It was not that every Batman didn't have a mouth. Or rather, Batman only didn't have a mouth in unimportant parts. And the catastrophic invasion event concerning the survival of the multiverse was obviously not in this range. Most Batmen would discuss their combat plans with the Justice League. Of course, it was also possible that they seemed cheerful, but were actually helpless.

In an ideal state, of course, Batman formulated a perfect plan and then told them to do it. But in reality, this didn't work, because if the plan wasn't explained to others, they couldn't execute it well. Even, if they didn't participate in the process of formulating the plan, accidents would happen during execution.

This didn't involve any democratic procedures, but was more like a top student tutoring a bottom student. Directly throwing out a result and letting them reverse-engineer the process was absolutely ineffective. It must be detailed, taking them step by step, letting them calculate the result themselves, which was the correct tutoring method.

It looked like it was delaying time, but it came in handy at this time. Others in the Justice League had more or less heard of Batman's plan. Some established a meticulous monitoring system to prevent someone from suddenly resurrecting; some punched a channel to the Earth's core, ready to wake up the Entity of Life at any time; and some studied magic and the power of the Seven Lanterns more deeply, believing that the only thing that could defeat Nekron was stronger mysterious power.

Most Supermen were more in favor of this last plan. Passive defense was not a solution, and Nekron couldn't be allowed to act like a sniper, picking them off one by one. Even if they could win, the multiverse would be riddled with holes by him. It was better to accumulate a wave of power and take away his true body directly.

Main Universe Batman was the executor of the counterattack plan. He had never given up on the research of the emotional spectrum and magic. Unfortunately, the word "research" basically had nothing to do with others in the Justice League. This was a field exclusive to Batman. No one knew how he researched, or what he researched.

"I will go back and look for it," Main Universe Superman said, "But I know the existing results are not fruitful. Or perhaps there has been no progress for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't have risked going to the universe where Nekron is invading."

The atmosphere became dull, because others also understood this truth. Entering that universe directly was undoubtedly a very risky decision. But because the departure was too hurried, Batman didn't explain much. So they could only see this as a desperate gamble after a long time without progress. This proved that the first half of the plan didn't go smoothly.

"Before leaving, Batman was doing a very important thing," Main Universe Superman said, "He was exploring the secrets of the Lantern Corps."

This remark attracted everyone's attention. They knew that if Main Universe Batman had no ideas, Main Universe Superman wouldn't bring this up.

"The First Lantern." Main Universe Superman said, "I believe everyone present has also heard of it. That group of blue-skinned big-headed Guardians of the Universe are not the masters of the emotional spectrum at all. They are not even the discoverers and controllers. The method of using the emotional spectrum was not invented by them either. These knowledges came from an ancient mysterious existence—the First Lantern."

As soon as his voice fell, someone echoed. Obviously, it wasn't just one Batman who was looking for this person. All Batmen who had the opportunity to contact Oa, or simply landed, had turned the place upside down. But nothing was found.

"Perhaps it's just a legend." Someone frowned and said, "I really can't believe it. There is actually someone that Batman can't find."

"But even if he can't find it, Batman firmly believes in his existence." Main Universe Superman refuted, "Batman is the kind of person who values evidence the most. If an existence only has ethereal legends and no tangible evidence, he wouldn't spend so much effort looking for it."

This was quite reasonable, so much so that others were speechless. They couldn't assume that Batman was a stubborn fool looking for power from myths and legends. Because that would make them look too much like idiots.

"Is there any substantial evidence?" Instead, Wonder Women calmed down, she said, "We have only heard that he is looking for it. But we haven't figured out what made him have to look for it. I'm serious. The method that the First Lantern can research. Can't Batman research it?"

This triggered another heated discussion. Everyone felt that this was a good idea. Because it was obvious that Batman was invincible in this field. He could research anything in this world. Couldn't it include the method of using the emotional spectrum?

If he could research it directly, he didn't need to look for the former inventor, and this thing didn't have any patents. Even if it did, it had long passed the patent period. It couldn't really be just to pay tribute, right?

Batman chose not to research it himself, but stubbornly went to look for it. This proved that he must have mastered some evidence. Proving that there were some things that only the First Lantern had. The Guardians of the Universe had not obtained it either. This was very incredible.

If the First Lantern had really been imprisoned by them for many years, they should have obtained everything they wanted. But they didn't. Perhaps Batman also felt that he couldn't get that thing. So he had been looking for it all along.

What would it be? All the Supermen were confused. They had also thought about seeking help from Green Lanterns. But Green Lanterns didn't know more than them. They were just sword-wielders. They knew nothing about sword-casting.

"Perhaps we can think about it from the other side." Another Superman opened his mouth, "What kind of place can make even Batman unable to find it."

Now the atmosphere in the room boiled again. Almost everyone opened their chatterboxes, and it was not difficult to see that everyone had imagined the scene of Batman eating a loss. Because it was very difficult to compile a logically reasonable story, they thought about it again and again. But because this was too evil, no one had ever been able to confide it.

Now that it could be discussed on the table, it was a rare exchange opportunity. Everyone talked at once, putting forward every possibility they had imagined—most of them were absurd.

The Mysterious Existence faction believed that there were too many unknowable realms in the universe. Some were beyond human reach. No carbon-based or intelligent life had any way to go there. That was the best choice.

The Outside the Universe faction believed that nothing in the universe could stop Batman. It must be a place outside the universe. No one knew what was outside the universe, but there must be such a place.

The Under the Lamp faction believed that such a place was on Earth. It was a place Batman didn't want to recall and didn't want to step into easily. For example, his parents' grave. Or somewhere in his memory.

The three parties argued endlessly. Because they each had their own reasons. But what they were arguing about was just which aspect Batman was the strongest in. This was obviously one of the daily brain-supplement activities of the Justice League. They had too much to say.

Main Universe Superman cleared his throat and stopped their heated discussion. He said: "I think there is a possibility. I don't know if you are willing to listen."

Others looked at him, and Main Universe Superman continued: "The First Lantern is the only one. I mean. The entire multiverse has only one."

"Is this possible?" Another Superman looked at him and said, "The only existence in the multiverse?"

"Yes, just like Nekron." Another person said, "Don't think that he has any essential difference from these mysterious existences just because he sounds more like a human. They might not have counterparts."

"This makes sense, if there is only one in the entire multiverse, then only one Batman is destined to find it, and the others are just busy in vain."

"But what we can think of, Batman can also think of. There must be an exchange of information between them. This can form a search network."

"But the Batmen in Battleworld are not all of them." Another person said, "What if he ran to some corner of the universe. That's impossible to find no matter what. Isn't it?"

The atmosphere fell into stagnation again. Because this was indeed a problem they had to face. Battleworld had been open for a long time. Those who could come had come, and the others were either really unable to come or unwilling to come. For these universes, no one had a good way.

"I don't think so," Main Universe Superman said again, "Although it might be a bit arrogant to say so. But if the Main Universe doesn't have it. Then no universe can have it."

There was a rustling sound from below. This remark was indeed too arbitrary. Main Universe Superman continued: "This is not me bragging. For these mysterious existences. The Main Universe is extremely tempting."

"Then why didn't Nekron choose the Main Universe?"

"This is the main reason why I came to this conclusion—he didn't come. Could it be precisely because someone is there?"

This hit the nail on the head. Everyone stared at him with burning eyes. Main Universe Superman spread his hands and said: "The way mysterious existences observe this universe is different from ours. They can intuitively see the importance of the Main Universe. If they can come, they won't not come. The benefits of invading here are dozens or hundreds of times that of other universes."

"We all know how useful surprise tactics are. The universe attacked first. Must be the one with the heaviest losses. Letting the Main Universe be the first has only benefits. Even if you don't win. It's enough to cause chaos. It's not too late to stir up other universes when retreating later. Nekron didn't choose to do so, there must be a reason. This matches Batman's behavior of being eager to find the First Lantern. Perhaps he knows. The First Lantern is the existence that truly restrains the Black Lantern power."

"In other words. He is in the Main Universe now?"

"The possibility is very high." Main Universe Superman said, "It's just that he might not be on Oa. But somewhere else."

"Then let's go find it." Another person said, "There are so many of us, enough to turn the whole universe upside down. How can we not find it?"

"No." Justice Lord opened his mouth, "Nekron might be waiting for us to do this. If this speculation is true, then he is the person who wants to kill the First Lantern the most. We found him. Wouldn't Nekron be able to sit back and reap the benefits?"

"Finding is not okay, not finding is not okay, then what to do?"

"You can find it, but you can't find it with great fanfare." Main Universe Superman made a final decision, "Let's focus our attention on the universe where Batman was lost. Then send people to look for it secretly. As long as we don't disturb anyone, it will be fine." ===== CHAPTER 4540 =====
