What bad intentions could Batman have?.

You know, like how every story begins.

A long time ago, on the planet Lut located in universe sector 666, it was the hometown of Atrocitus, the current leader of the Red Lantern Corps.

At that time, his name was Atros, and he was very thin.

Atrocitus was once an ordinary psychologist who cooked for his wife and children after work.

But since the massacre that destroyed his world, Atrocitas's life has been filled with revenge, and there is no room for anything else.

He seemed to be forever haunted by anger and never stopped being angry for a moment.

Everyone who knows Atrocitus will say that he is a beast captured by anger. If it were not for the small sense of justice that still drives him, he would almost sink into endless anger and be unable to extricate himself. , turning into a beast that attacks indiscriminately, just like...

Same as his colleagues.

"Roar!!!!!"

Thalia gasped.

As the only conscious human being among the group of people who passed through the black hole and appeared on the planet Ismot, she was. When I was led into the headquarters of the Red Lantern Corps, I saw an unforgettable sight in my life——

Of course, it was not the large basin of insect-like "food" that Atrocitus took out that was still twitching slightly, and seemed to be alive, but Thalia saw a large number of red insects in the huge hall. The members of the Lantern Corps wore restraint collars around their necks and were tightly tied to the wall by chains protruding from the iron holes in the wall.

There is an urn that looks like a dog basin in front of everyone. The people who tied these Red Lantern Corps members here seemed to have calculated how far they had to go to get to the dog basin, and specially adjusted their chains to be able to touch them. It's just a little short of a length to reach the dog pot.

Therefore, those members of the Red Lantern Corps who looked extremely hungry could only scratch the floor desperately, and then began to roar endlessly like mad dogs. Thalia even saw a few of them desperately grabbing their necks. The iron chain strangled him to the point where his neck was obviously broken, but he still couldn't break free from that mere iron chain.

"This this……"

Thalia took a half step back.

Her father was an ancient man who had lived on earth for 600 years. She had witnessed countless times with her own eyes her father's body being immersed in the green spring water and then resurrected unscathed.

She has seen superpowers, magicians, demons from hell, necromancers who summoned Mr. Skeleton, telepaths, and even gods like those from the Justice League who walk on earth. Their strength far exceeds that of ordinary superpowers. The dragon among men.

She even saw what a terrifying and powerful thing her lover Batman had become.

But at this moment, seeing those crazy alien monsters still made Talia feel cold in her heart.

"Ah. Please don't mind."

said Atrocitus.

He ignored Thalia, who was frozen on the spot, and continued his actions.

He placed pots and pots of bug food on the table next to him, the only area where crazed Red Lantern Corps members weren't chained up.

He stretched out a hand, and the red light ring on his hand embodied some kind of alien-looking mechanical arm and hand, and picked up the unconscious Teen Titans members. He shot out another red light, and the red light The ring materialized into a big soft bed on the ground.

“To be honest, I’m not very good at this kind of thing, but it just takes a little practice and you can do it.”

said Atrocitus.

He placed each unconscious member on the bed and covered them with quilts thoughtfully.

Then, the healing magic circle prepared by Atrocitas in advance lit up under each bed.

If such an action was made by a gentle and kind mother, it might seem very warm, but Thalia looked at Atrocitas's red-faced and fanged face, and inexplicably felt that what he did was like an ogre. The same action is taken to arrange the ingredients well before adding them to the pot.

Atrocitus had no idea what irreverent thoughts were running through Thalia's mind.

Seeing that Thalia had no intention of sitting down, he didn't force him.

He walked to the table and pulled up a seat to sit down. Then he used the red light ring to materialize a strange tableware out of thin air, like a combination of a fork and a knife blade, and directly pierced a twitching insect and threw it away. He put it in his mouth and chewed it without caring.

"The timing of your arrival is quite coincidental. It happens to be during dinner time."

Blue-purple juice flowed out from the gaps between Atrocitus's sharp teeth, and was then licked clean by his tongue.

"Perhaps you will say that the internal organs of every member of the Red Lantern Corps have actually been excreted by the red lantern ring. The red lantern energy fills our bodies and maintains our lives. There are no organs used to digest food. Well, then what’s the point of eating?”

Atrocitus said as he ate: "But actually..."

"Roar...roar..."

Violent roars came one after another, mixed with a large number of hysterical howls of unknown meaning.

Atrocitas frowned, then stood up: "I'm sorry, guest. This place was built in a short time and there are few rooms, so everyone had to be chained in the hall, and I spent time with them day and night, and I never thought about soundproofing, it must be noisy to you.”

Thalia didn't speak, Atrocitus raised his hand and shook it violently.

As he moved, every iron chain holding the members of the Red Lantern Corps glowed red, and soon they were strangled one after another until they spit out red blood foam... Wait, that's not blood foam. , but some kind of blood-red fluid that burns like a flame.

"That's what every member of the Red Lantern Corps has inside their body."

Noticing Thalia's gaze, Atrocitas said: "The same is true in my body. This energy replaces the internal organs."

Then he sat back down and said, "Where were we talking about just now? About eating."

"Batman's teammates, before I start, let me introduce you first. My name is Atrocitas..."

Atrocitus first briefly introduced his relationship with Batman to Talia. This made Thalia feel relieved a little, and then he continued:

"I think you have already figured out that these legion members belong to my Red Lantern Corps by having the same logo on their chests as mine when you came in, but you must be curious about what these legion members are about."

Atrocitus said: "In order to prevent you from thinking that I am a dangerous enemy or a character that is not easy to get along with, I am afraid I must explain to you the reason why they are like this now."

"After I established the Red Lantern Corps on Ismot, I forged the Red Lantern Furnace Central Energy Cell and began searching for members of the Red Lantern Corps across the universe."

"This is not a difficult thing. The Red Light Ring will find those with great anger on its own, and then select them to become members of my legion."

Although Atrocitus kept talking, he still ate his food in a hurry, barely needing to chew.
