American Comics: Beginning with Luke the Maker

Chapter 288 Infinity Series: The Death of the Green Lantern

"We have to have a good talk again."

Inside the bat base, Wayne looked at the captain with a serious face. Beside him was a pale Hal Jordan who was at a loss, and Superman Clark with his arms folded.

It has been a while since the end of the Great War. These days, Wayne has been busy with troublesome things like Gotham reconstruction and disaster relief. As Gotham's richest business heir, he will inevitably have to meet many people during this period, deal with A lot of business.

It wasn't until today that Wayne took the time to lead an in-depth meeting with their small team.

"What do you want to know?" The captain asked calmly while sitting in his seat, rubbing his face with his palm.He knew that with Wayne's suspicious to somewhat schizophrenic character, there would inevitably be such a meeting afterwards, so when faced with it, he was also very calm.

"Everything! But before we start, I think you would like to introduce the person who suddenly appeared that day." Wayne did not use any psychological interrogation methods, because through contact and understanding, he knew that these methods were fundamental to Captain Rogers. like water off a duck's back.The opponent's will is extremely tenacious, and he still has that magical and powerful ring.If there is no influence of other energies, pure psychology and interrogation methods, unless the other party wants to talk, he is immune to all those methods.

Fortunately, the captain has been mostly cooperative so far.

"When I heard him appear, you called him by name, was it Thanos?" Wayne took the initiative to lead the topic.

"To be precise, that's just his nickname. His real name is Thanos. He is a powerful man in our universe, and also a madman." The captain corrected Wayne's information.

"Madman?" The three of Wayne looked at each other. Although Thanos acted a little more domineering, the lunatic...

"I don't know much about him, and everything I know is information from us in another universe. These things are a bit complicated to say, so I will focus on them as much as possible.

Thanos of our universe believes that the disorderly expansion of life will consume a lot of cosmic resources, and eventually make the universe into a situation where it cannot make ends meet.He believes this must be contained.So he pursues a philosophy, which is to wipe out half of the life on a planet.

Whether it is a high-ranking official or an ordinary poor person, or the lowest level, all lives are treated equally and executed fairly.He attacked many civilizations in this tyrannical way.

But he found that the power of the individual is too weak, and he cannot save more civilizations and lives by killing.Until he knew the secret of the birth of a universe. Captain Rogers smiled wryly, and after sorting out what he knew in his mind, he said it calmly.

"Killing half of the people without order?" All three of Hal were shocked by the information the captain said.Although Wayne's face was calm, the subtle expression on his face still showed his inner unrest.

"What secret?" Wayne asked.

"Infinite gems!" The captain said the answer very simply.

"What's that?" Hal couldn't help asking.

"The infinity gem is a regular condensate born at the beginning of the universe. It is similar to the lamp furnace or lamp beast that represents emotional energy here? They are divided into time, space, reality, soul, power, and heart. When the six gems are gathered together, the It can have incredible power. For example, it can kill half of the life in the universe in a fair way, and keep it within a certain limit for self-adjustment." Captain Rogers explained.

"He did it?" Superman interjected.

"He didn't do it." The captain's words made the three of Wayne's faces subconsciously relaxed, but the next words made their expressions tense again: "But, he in another universe did it."

"Another universe?" This was the second time Hal heard this information from the captain.

"You can understand it as parallel universes, multiverses, anyway, there is not only one universe in our cognition."

"Back to the question, how did you know that he in another universe did it? Does your universe still communicate?" Wayne thought a little complicated.

"No, it's because after the tyrant of their universe achieved his goal, in order to prevent someone from using the infinite gemstone to subvert his achievements, he used the gemstone to destroy the gemstone. Later, we in that universe thought of some kind of quantum tunnel or something They traveled on the timeline using the method. However, there may be a little accident in the process, they did not return to a certain timeline in their universe, but came to our universe.

Luke offered them a solution, but unexpectedly, Thanos of our universe got word of them and used their technology for some purpose to follow them back to their original timeline.In the end, we helped solve it together in the past. "The captain shook his head.

"In other words, he is your enemy." Hal concluded.

"But he said that he came to bring Steve home." Wayne looked at the captain.

"It's true what I said. He was restricted by Luke's technical seal. Maybe something happened, or some conditions made Luke let him out. But he feels a little strange to me, he doesn't It's too much like the Thanos in my memory. But it may be that I don't know Thanos at all." The captain knew immediately that Wayne still had doubts about the information he provided, and this doubt may not be aimed at him.

"Excuse me, I want to ask, who is that Luke?" Superman raised his hand.

"A researcher, a person who solves our troubles!" The captain took a deep breath and covered his head with some headaches: "Of course, he is also a big trouble maker. It's just that he can always use his own troubles Technology and means are controlled on a balance point. The ring on my hand, and those energy harvesting devices, are all made by Luke. And it is still early Luke."

"Then what about his personality? You once said that you just want to go home, and he sent such a troublesome person, is the goal really just to bring you home?" Wayne questioned.

The captain opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but thinking of Luke's character, he decided to keep silent.From his point of view, Luke is usually very talkative, and if he finds him with any problems, he will spare some time to solve them smoothly.But there is a premise for all of this, that is, when your interests are consistent with his interests.

What does Luke care about?
It's energy!
Judging from the information revealed by Nick Fury when they communicated with him, Luke's pursuit of energy over the years is persistent, firm, and unstoppable.You always think that his energy is enough, but Luke's experiments can always tell you that there is never enough energy.

Science is science, but if you want to turn science into technology, the cost of trial and error is quite high.

At least as far as Nick and Stark know, the consumption of Luke’s experiment has been increased from city-level to planet-level, and then increased to the energy consumption of one or two standard stars in the solar system for one experiment. According to his latest news, Luke's energy expenditure for experiments has been raised to the standard Milky Way galaxy level, and this is only the consumption of one or two experimental expenditures.

In the envious words of Nick and Stark, Luke's experimental consumption and expenditure will increase to the level of a single universe sooner or later!Compared with experimental krypton gold and expenditures, hundreds of Starks tied up with all the giant companies in the atrium are nothing compared to Luke.Even compared to the group of researchers in Hei Bolun under Luke's command, they are all younger brothers.

Under such a huge amount of energy and resource consumption, Luke will inevitably span to pluralism, and Bruce's special universe with emotional energy, after Luke knows it, it is inevitable that he will not give up.

The only difference lies in the means used.

Based on the captain's understanding of Luke, the opponent is generally too lazy to destroy life, as long as there are no obstacles in front of him.Luke's most common method should be win-win cooperation.But the premise is that you either have the corresponding strength, or take the initiative to cooperate.

Wayne and the others...

Thinking of the other party's character, the captain couldn't help but feel a headache.

"So, now the decision is coming, is your camp your side or ours?" Wayne questioned his soul.

"Can't we coexist peacefully? Things are really not as bad as you imagined, Bruce." The captain spread his hands helplessly: "Believe me, Luke is not a crazy person, he can talk and negotiate terms. You don't have to put him Treat it as an enemy.

Believe me, this is not a good idea. "

"The credibility of your words has been reduced, Steve. I would like to believe your words, but I must prepare for the worst! Tell me your choice." Wayne asked.

"I will stand with you until I leave this universe." The captain hesitated and said.In terms of camp alone, there is no doubt that he will definitely stand on the side of Luke and his universe.But if something really happened because of Thanos when he left, as a member of the temporary team here, he will also provide some help within his ability.After all, he also has doubts about Thanos, a powerful lunatic.

"It's not the answer I want, but it fits your personality." Wayne was not surprised by the captain's choice.Aside from the character of the captain, he has also studied that kind of energy in depth, and can only say that people who can obtain that kind of energy to greatly increase their strength will inevitably be affected by the energy.The only difference is that a person with a strong will can maintain the bottom line and control himself, or the energy used by the extreme fit of personality.

"I want to ask, can you still get in touch with him? He left this planet, what is he going to do?" Hal asked.At that time, they thought that Thanos was going to chase Sinestro, who had fled, after he had dealt with the yellow light beast parallax monster.But thinking about it now, the other party didn't seem to need to track down Sinestro.After all, the yellow lantern beast and Sinestro's source of energy have fallen into the hands of the opponent, so is it still afraid that Sinestro, the original owner of the yellow lantern beast, will compete with him?
Suddenly, like enlightenment, Hal thought of a terrible possibility, and he looked at Wayne and the others in horror, "Do you remember what he said when he left?"

Wayne, Clark, and the captain all shifted their gazes to look at Hal, whose body and spirit hadn't fully recovered yet, whose face was pale.

"He said there are six more! Come on, doesn't he still want the energy of other lamps?" Hal didn't think in this direction at first, because anyway, in his cognition, he felt that this idea was too absurd , but after listening to Steve's words today, he couldn't help but thought of this idea inexplicably, as if something in the dark was guiding him to think in this direction.

"Green light?" All three of Wayne already knew the faction that Hal belonged to, and knew about the existence of the Green Lantern Furnace through Hal.Thinking of the yellow lantern furnace that had fallen into the hands of Thanos, everyone changed their faces for a while.

According to Hal, the Green Lantern Furnace is the most important guardian. It is used to recruit Green Lantern Envoys and maintain the stability and peace of the universe. Its importance is beyond doubt. It is naturally impossible for the authors to hand it over, and conflicts between the two are inevitable.Although Hal said how powerful the Guardians and the Green Lantern Corps are, they have never seen it, but they have seen and experienced the power of Thanos with their own eyes.

"I have to upload all the news here to the Green Lantern headquarters." Hal said firmly to Wayne.He couldn't care less now.

Facing Hal's firm eyes, Bruce Wayne, who had been resisting leaking information, finally nodded after a moment of silence.

Hal left in a hurry, and rushed back to Oaxing at full speed under the leadership of the green light ring.

Wayne did not stop Hal, who was determined to leave, and he also believed that it was necessary to spread the news of Thanos widely.The guardian force is a force of order that can be drawn in, cooperate and be used as reinforcements when necessary.

As for the official on the planet?
After thinking about the weakness of those technological weapons during the war, Wayne immediately cut off the idea.While waiting for Hal's return, Wayne devoted all his energy to researching Thanos' weaknesses and the weaknesses of emotional energy, except for the time he had to spend.

I thought that Hal would go for a long time this time, but I didn't expect that a few days later, Hal brought a group of people back to Bruce's reinforced base.

"Oua Star is gone."

This was Hal's first sentence after seeing Bruce and the others.

"Thanos went to Oua Star and asked the guardians to hand over the Green Lantern Stove. The Guardians and the Green Lantern Corps garrisoned desperately resisted, but still failed to prevent him from obtaining the Green Lantern Stove. He absorbed from the Green Lantern Stove. The Lantern Beast that had turned on the green light, killed the blocking green light messenger, and directly destroyed Oua Star in order to stop the pursuers.

Green Lantern Corps, gone! "

Hal said in despair.
