Lin En was sincerely anxious and angry, and also sincerely wanted to punch the old bat on the head and beat him into a giant panda.
Who is the protagonist?
Why are you! !
There is no doubt that at this moment, the green ring on the old bat's open palm is the ring that Linn watched helplessly as it flew away.
It was forcibly separated from Hal Jordan by Lynn, but he did not choose to "submit" to Lynn, but chose a new owner himself.
That is Bruce Wayne, the thief!
…
Linn had long heard of various legends and horrifying stories about Batman. The Batman in those "rumors", without exception, always covered everyone's characteristics in various senses.
If you are cruel, he will be more cruel than you.
If you have fraternity, he will be more philanthropic than you.
You are strong-willed, and his will can break through stubborn rocks.
You have a very bad heart, and his whole heart is black!
Perhaps it was too early when I met Old Bat. At this time, Old Bat, the word "Lao", was purely a "pet name" added by Lin En out of personal emotion. He was still getting stronger and stronger. In the process of earth evolution.
Linn was his friend, his confidant, his... opposite, or rather, mirror. As for the Batman symbol and the meaning of the term, it comes more from memories and hearsay from previous lives.
It can be said that it is very rare to truly understand him and truly witness it with your own eyes.
However, Lin En finally got her wish today.
He can't do it even if he doesn't want to. He has really seen it with his own eyes. What kind of special code is called the special code of heaven!
He didn't even have to leave the house, that thing came with its own luggage and food, and they were delivered to his door all the way.
…
"Dog thief!"
Linn was still waving his fists and gesticulating with Bruce. Although Bruce didn't quite understand Linn's state at this time, he was Linn.
That's normal.
"Lynn, stop making trouble. You recognize this ring... ugh!"
"Oh, do you think that my Iron Fist Garp is in vain?"
Finally sealing one of Bruce's eyes with a punch, Lin rubbed his wrist and picked up the ring that was no longer shining on the ground.
"Farke!"
Visible to the naked eye, the ring shrank into a very small circle in Linn's hand. It didn't look like something that could be worn by a human being.
"Flower Q, spend Q!"
With a flick of his hand, he threw this thing to Bruce again. Linn was sulking alone, ran into the house, picked up Bruce's famous wine and raised his neck.
Bruce obviously didn't care about Lynn's attitude. Again, Lynn was normal.
Rubbing his eyes, he walked to Linn's side. Bruce also sat down and said an understatement: "That bottle of wine is 120,000."
Seeing that Linn was about to spit back the strongest wine, Bruce waved his hand in disgust.
"Lynn, are you willing to answer my questions now?"
Bruce pointed to his eye: "My injured eye is worth much more than that bottle of wine."
"Cut~"
Linn glanced at it and saw that the ring on Bruce's hand had returned to its normal size.
"This thing is discriminating against me! Today I am very..."
"Lynn, calm down! This is next to the wine cabinet!"
Lin En, who held the big sword high, sighed dejectedly and sat back on the chair with some reluctance.
"This thing is... a ring."
Bruce said nothing, but it was obvious that he wanted to punch Lynn in the eye.
"Listen to me. Hey, this ring has a lot of background.
At the beginning of the formation of the universe..."
"Lynn."
"Okay, I'll be brief. About 10,000 years ago..."
"Lynn."
"Eight hundred light years away from the earth, there is Europe..."
"Lynn."
"Oops! I snatched this thing from a boy named Hal Jordan in Beach City, more than 800 kilometers away. I painted three little bastards on his face, and the broken ring flew away from his hand. It’s yours now.”
After talking on the phone for a long time, Linn returned to his sullen state and drank endlessly.
"Lynn, please explain in more detail."
"Dog thief!"
…………
After a while, Bruce, whose other eye was also blue, sat on the sofa, staring at the ring in his hand, looking thoughtful.
If Linn could be so frank in the future and not engage in mysterious fables and the like, Bruce felt that getting one punch at a time would be a good market price.
If what Lin En said is true, then regardless of what happens to this ring, the first thing that can be confirmed is that in this universe, crises can really be seen everywhere.
One of the rings described by Lynn can create a superhero. However, there are thousands of such rings in the universe, but they are still barely able to maintain a fragile balance.
This is really not a happy news.
Shaking his head, Bruce knew that there was really no need to think about the distant future and worry about things that had not happened yet.
He just felt that it was necessary to take precautions in advance. Although he himself didn't know what to guard against.
Occupational disease belongs to yes.
"Lynn, you said, this ring is both willpower and food..."
"Energy. The energy and standard for use with willpower."
"It makes no difference. We must guard against external forces."
"...You can do whatever you want."
Bruce wouldn't be who he is if he wasn't so suspicious.
In every sense, both Bruce and Batman are typical examples of... great power attributed to oneself.
After Bruce realized the sins of Wayne Group, he directly chose to clean up the board of directors and almost completed the privatization of the entire Wayne Group. This was not selfish or greedy, but he preferred to believe in himself.
After trying to change Gotham through the power of capital and failing miserably, he was jointly suppressed by Gotham's upper echelons, the government, peers, other wealthy people in Gotham, and even financial giants from other cities. Bruce resolutely gave up on this idea. He chooses to leave his hometown and return to Gotham as Batman after many years. This is also a kind of "selfishness" to fight against the world with one's own body.
Of course Bruce hates outside power.
If Gotham really allowed him to have the final say, Gotham wouldn't be like this.
It is precisely because of this character trait that it is difficult for Bruce to accept or trust other "sources of power."
Just like this ring.
Lin En believed that this guy must not have worn this ring in the past hour or two before his arrival. In fact, he may have even put the ring on the experimental table and studied it under the microscope. Maybe.
"Bruce, there's no need for this."
Lin En started to "persuade" at this time: "In this universe, there are not many people who can be recognized by this ring... Don't look at me like that! Your eyes are swollen, right?
cough. Its power is equivalent to your power. After all, it is a thing that uses your willpower as energy to amplify your spiritual power and protect hope.
Put it on and give it a try. Hey, you can give it a try. "
For some purpose, Linn helped Bruce put on the ring, half persuading and half forcing.
For some reason, Bruce did not refuse forcefully, but looked at the ring with cold eyes as it was put on his finger.
The huge, warm and cool power washed over Bruce's soul. He experienced the passage of time that seemed like an instant and then seemed like ten thousand years.
In the flickering of green light, he saw many people, past, future, familiar, strange, and he saw the fear that was sealed in his memory.
[Willpower...exceeds! 】
The green light seemed to give a warning, and for a moment the light was so bright that it almost penetrated the thick wall.
In this ray of light, Lin En watched everything coldly, as if he couldn't feel the warmth, and calmly pulled out a big sword from his palm.
Lift it high.
…
The light gradually extinguished, as if it was hiding, and also seemed to "shrink" back, returning to the green light ring.
Bruce opened his eyes. His injuries had recovered, and his body was surrounded by flowing light and floating in the air.
The green light ring has chosen its master, the most suitable and the most powerful one.
The strong willpower can almost be condensed into substance, and there is no process of adaptation and taming at all. If there is, it must be Bruce who tamed the Green Lantern Ring.
The Green Lantern Corps-specific battle uniform he wears is the best proof.
"Lynn."
Even though he became Green Lantern, Bruce, who still spoke like a bat, turned his head and saw Lynn's cold and indifferent expression, his indifferent eyes, and his big sword raised high.
It was this sword that easily cut off an arm belonging to a god.
And now, Lin En pointed the edge of the sword at him.
"Are you going to kill me?"
"Answer my question, what's your name."
"Bruce. Bruce Wayne."
"Are you enjoying this power, Bruce?"
"No."
"Can you kill someone?"
"Absolutely not."
"Are you Green Lantern, or... Batman."
"I'm Bruce Wayne. So am I, Batman."
"Very good. Phew! Not bad!"
As if it proves something. Linn pretended that nothing happened, put away the sword, and began to slap his farts continuously and brag wildly.
Lynn is hiding something from me.
But it doesn't matter.
When he feels he should tell me, he will tell me.
Bruce, as always, didn't ask anything. He just slowly landed on the ground and looked at his raised hand.
"I seem to...know how to use the power of a ring."
Raising his hand, a flashing point of light appeared, almost blinding Linn. The moment Linn raised his head, a poured green entity appeared on his hand.
"Arrest..."
The light disappeared, and a familiar person appeared next to Linn, Alfred, who was glowing with green light. He smiled and wanted to high-five Linn, and then suddenly exploded, sending Linn flying.
"Sneak in... sneak attack..."
The star-crossed sword that glows green, the cannon that glows green, the forest that glows green...
The green light condensed into various things, sending Lin En flying around.
If Hal Jordan had such a fast thinking speed, such strong hard power, such extensive knowledge of various subjects, and such an unscrupulous way of attacking...
Lin En finally understood why the broken ring chose the old bat.
He is really fierce.
"Old bat! Hahahaha!"
For the first time, Lin En was not angry at all after being beaten. Lin En ran back happily and took out a strange gun.
"Find a spacious place! Find a flatter terrain and try to see if you can embody this thing!"
As he spoke, he inserted a disc into the head of the gun.
That thing looks like a light energy gun used by light energy users.
