What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 375: Behind the glory is a trace of loneliness

OMG, friends.

Omg.

Think of those golden years.

Although his time on earth was short, Sinestro sometimes thought that many things were so similar.

Those heroes on earth. Barry Allen, Hal Jordan, Billy Batson (Shazam).

They follow Batman's footsteps, fight against evil, support justice, and save the world...

Just like my former self chasing Abin Su.

He once admired Abin Su so much that he even fell in love with Wujiwu and Abin Su's sister Arlene Su.

He firmly believes that his heart is like a mirror and everything he does is righteous. He never denied that he was powerful, but he used power to suppress all evils. Although his rule destroyed individual free will, it was a necessary evil and an inevitable way to achieve absolute justice.

Amonsu knew exactly what the Sinestro Corps would do to those who opposed it. For those opponents who were not directly killed for various reasons, the torture they suffered in the cage will make people feel that death is also a kind of relief.

He turned to look at Amonsu: "Execute my order."

Then he paused slightly and emphasized with emphasis: "All the prisoners of the Sinestro Corps must see the execution of Alinsu. Let every prisoner who opposes me know that Alinsu has broken with me. ."

"uncle……"

"You're my family, the people I love most. But you'd never have my back, right?"

Arlene Su raised her head tremblingly and looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar husband.

"I want everyone to know, even my wife..."

"...and that thing...it's just a dispute of interests, a dispute of interests. How dare you use your own will to decide what's right and wrong?"

"You cannot disobey the orders of the Sinestro Corps."

Senito walked up to his wife and looked at her condescendingly: "Alinsu was not executed on the spot because of her outstanding contributions to Koruga and her status as a relative of Abinsu. .”

She had never seen Sinestro look so sad, at least not since their wedding.

Then he paused and added:

Sinestro loudly refuted his wife. During the four-hour fierce argument, even the leader of the Yellow Lantern Corps felt physically and mentally exhausted.

"Never will."

"If I don't send those 3000 people to die, the virus will be brought back to our planet by their spaceship, and then the number of people who will die will not be !"

His power was so powerful that it pinched Arlene Su painfully. Even without the use of the yellow lantern ring, the Lord of the Legion can strangle a giant alien tiger with only one eye with his bare hands, and can even confront Atrocitus holding the cosmic wand. When he is angry, Arlene Su had no power to resist at all.

"Remove all preferential treatment from Arlene Sue. Bedding, cell, put her where she really deserves to be."

"Amon Su."

"...You are basically relying on force to suppress the war. If you kill everyone, there will be no war, right? It's ridiculous, you are a murderous executioner..."

"You will never agree with everything I do, right? Everything I do for my hometown, my most beloved hometown, Koruga."

Amonsu was surprised: "But Lord Sinestro, Auntie..."

Arlene Su took two steps back.

he asked slowly, slowly.

"Everyone is kneeling at your feet! Should I praise you? You used brute force to change our social structure, turning the republic into a strongman's politics. And on that spaceship, you sacrificed about 3000 innocent people!”

"There is no your aunt here, nor my wife, Amon. Only opponents of the Sinestro Corps."

He finally lost control. He could no longer endure his wife's endless rumblings over the past 4 hours. He lost control for the first time in 4 hours. He grabbed Arlene Su's collar and lifted her up.

Did Sinestro really want to inflict those tortures on his wife?

Arlene Su's eyes widened in surprise.

He put his wife down. Then he took a deep breath, with an undisguised expression of sadness on his face.

Then tears fell from her eyes, and those tears stung Sinestro, causing this powerful man great pain.

The Lord of the Yellow Lantern Corps called his servants coldly with his voice that was almost frozen.

But Abinsu's sister did not cry out. She raised her swan-like neck and looked at her husband stubbornly with an expression on the verge of tears.

She saw a crystal tear fall on the ground, and she could hardly tell whether it was Sinestro's tears or the dew dripping from the ceiling of the cell.

"Tell me, what can I do?"

So Arinsu was slightly in a daze, but in the end, she said coldly:

"...Does theft deserve death? You didn't judge him at all, you were just killing people, killing people wantonly..."

Sinestro was a tall man, and his wife was half a head shorter than him.

But none of that mattered anymore, Sinestro stood up. The last trace of weakness faded from the face of the Lord of the Yellow Lantern Corps.

"Put Arlene Sue back into custody to make sure she doesn't commit suicide."

"...No! You have twisted yourself into your dirty, ridiculous, puppet of absolute justice. That is not justice at all, but tyranny..."

Tick.

"Don't make me repeat it a second time."

"Yes."

Amonsu lowered his head.

Immediately afterwards, Sinestro never looked at Arinsu again. He walked out of the prison with heavy steps, almost as if he was running away.

Behind him, the person he loved most was cursing hysterically.

Sinestro opened his hand, and yellow energy enveloped him, taking him high into the sky.

He pulled his body up little by little, and the prison under his feet began to gradually become smaller. At this time, he appeared on a mobile war fortress, and scattered on this fortress were countless densely packed members of the Yellow Lantern Corps.

"Long live Sinestro!"

They saw Sinestro flying overhead and burst into thunderous cheers.

Then, like toppling dominoes, cheers passed round and round throughout the war fortress, all kinds of evil villains, rapists, killers, robbers, scum...

At this moment, they are all shouting the same name:

"Long live the Sinestro Corps! Long live! Long live!

"Long live!"

Sinestro raised his head and looked at the huge green planet in the universe far away from the War Fortress, which was being attacked by countless tiny yellow light spots.

So he murmured lowly. This voice was amplified by the yellow light ring and resounded throughout the war fortress:

"The Sinestro Corps..." "I hereby give my orders."

He slowly raised his hand and pointed at the planet that was still resisting.

"I order you to capture Planet OA - for me, for the new order of the universe!"

"The general attack...start now!"

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

Sinestro stood in the void with his hands behind his back, watching the countless members of the Sinestro Legion who surrendered under his feet take off with yellow light flashing all over their bodies, rushing towards the oa planet like a tide.

At this moment, the glory belongs to Sinestro.

……

……

……

Chen Tao returned to the Batcave at 3:00 in the morning.

Chen Tao, who has almost transformed his brain into a Batcomputer, no longer needs to sleep.

Before that, he slept at least about 5 hours a day. The main reason for this was that Luther and Lucius, the top scientists, were still human beings after all, and could not accompany him to cultivate immortality;

As the spokesperson for the greenness of all things, Poison Ivy Ivy can absorb light energy through photosynthesis instead of eating, but after all, she is still part of a human being, and she cannot stop sleeping even if she doesn't need to eat;

Not to mention members of the Justice League like Flash Barry who have to go to work and be superheroes during the day. They need sleep, and Chen Tao cannot disturb them.

It may be a good choice to use this time to study Gorilla Grodd and the others, but during the day Grodd and the others have to be called by Luther at any time. If Grodd is not given a rest at night, Chen Tao is worried that the other person will die.

So when everyone was sleeping, Chen Tao could only force himself to let go of the sense of crisis that was always stuck in his throat, and tried to lie on the bed and fall asleep peacefully, skipping time with one click.

But now, Chen Tao is no longer in this mood.

It's been a while since he's been back to the Batcave, and it's not just busy...

Forget it.

Chen Tao shook his head. It was so late, and the old butler Alfred should have rested. He just needed to finish his work quietly and then leave quietly.

He came back this time just to back up some files on the Batcomputer, something he never liked to do to others. The Batcomputer has almost been imbued with the power of his metal spirit. No one can steal anything on this computer, but the computer can show others what they need at the right time.

Of course, Chen Tao always keeps the really important things in his mind instead of putting them on his computer.

So he just needs to open the door and then...

Well? ? ? !

With a bang, Chen Tao opened the door and saw the old butler Alfred, wrapped in his pajamas, sitting upright on the seat at the door of the Batcave hall. Although it was already early in the morning, the old butler was in high spirits and did not feel anything at all. exhausted.

"..."

"Alfred, why are you here?" It was too late to escape now, and Chen Tao couldn't help but regret that he didn't use the clairvoyance of a speeding bullet to see if there was anyone behind him before entering.

After all, this is caused by his lack of vigilance. The Batcave is his home base, and he naturally regards this place as a shelter. If someone ambush him here, just like Bane did in the comic "Knightfall", It will be caused unexpectedly...

Chen Tao suddenly cut off his divergent thinking. Now was not the time to think about this. He took two steps back and watched Alfred approaching.

"Mr. Bruce Wayne, are you going to take the initiative to save the alien planet OA? I am surprised that I don't know about this matter, but other people in the Justice League told me."

Chen Tao was sweating profusely.

The old butler Alfred kindly helped Chen Tao to sit down next to him, and then continued:

"I never knew that the Justice League's business has expanded to the entire universe. Taking care of the earth is not enough, and now the Justice League has become the protector of the entire universe.

I have never thought about this matter in my wildest dreams. God, I used to think that shooting someone with a submachine gun on a battlefield was the craziest thing I'd ever done in my life. But now, alien civilization, cosmic police? Times are changing so fast. "

Chen Tao dug his toes into the ground.

"It's just that I feel a little strange. Master, why do you always say you want to retire, but now your business scope is getting wider and wider? It's not enough to take care of the earth, but you also have to take care of alien planets?"

Chen Tao was speechless.

"Then I won't say anything else. I just want to ask a question, sir, when can we go to Fiji to settle?"

"After solving the problem of Star OA?"

"I……"

"Actually, after all this time, Master Bruce, I have always had a question in my mind. Are you really planning to retire?"

The old butler pressed forward step by step: "Tell me, you are making one plan after another, constantly thinking of ways to deal with real dangers, desperately grabbing power and increasing your strength. Are you really doing it to retire? Or are you? Are you enjoying it?"

"answer me."

"Do you enjoy it? Do you get a sense of accomplishment from it? Do you feel the value of self-actualization?"

"answer me."

"I……"

Chen Tao was almost unable to resist.

"Answer me. After all the hard work and effort, are you really doing all this just to retire?"

When Chen Tao was almost running away, he heard the old housekeeper's voice.

"But... these don't matter." The old housekeeper paused, and he confirmed something.

He was a little sad, but also a little relieved, but he seemed to have made some determination.

"It doesn't matter, Master Bruce. What I want you to know is... no matter what decision you make. Whether you retire or not."

"Whatever you ultimately decide."

"I will always support you."

"I understand your difficulties, Master Bruce, and I know the helplessness behind your glory."

"This world cannot live without you. I know you shoulder too much." Alfred said sincerely:

"Those burdens push you forward, just like Master Thomas was once pushed to be the man to reform Gotham."

"Therefore, you don't need to feel guilty about this or failing to fulfill your promise to me. I can wait, Master Bruce."

"I just hope..."

"You can go back to the Batcave as often as you used to..."

"At least let me help you like I used to, even if it's making a bat sandwich and preparing breakfast..."

"Instead of leaving me powerless."

"So please, let me do something for you..."

The old butler hugged Batman:

"My blues..."

"Please."
