It's clear that Lynn actually "sold" Batman once, and probably... more than once.
However, since it is Linn, what should I say? Batman has really had such psychological expectations and preparations.
Not to mention that his true identity was revealed, Batman had imagined that one day Linn would come to his house with a lot of people, capture him, and imprison him in Arkham.
Small problem, no problem~
…………
"Ahem! Then, let me share some information."
Standing in front of Cyborg and Batman, Linn said calmly: "I think you all should know that in this universe, there is more than just one kind of life and one form of intelligence for us humans.
Unfortunately, so do the gods.
The gods in mythology basically live on the earth, but there are also alien gods, local gods, and stronger ones... You can understand them as natural gods, cosmic gods, and so on.
Gods, there are good and bad.
It is also unfortunate that a bad god once came to Earth. "
"Lynn, how long ago that was."
Batman felt that what Linn was talking about today was probably the gods he used to talk about that he was afraid of.
He remembered that Lin En said that that god was only eight years old.
"Um...about two thousand years? One thousand years? I don't know. But, the last time that guy came here, he only..."
"Eight years old. I know, you said that."
"Eight years old? What eight years old?"
Cyborg obviously didn't understand.
"This is not important. What is important is that that guy is very strong. When he came to Earth last time, not only was he not at the peak of his prime, he was not even from his true body, but a clone.
But, even so, the earth at that time was still composed of gods, humans, and Amazons, including Wonder Woman, who else? The Atlantis clan, which had not yet entered the sea at that time, and with the help of certain friendly alien life forms, combined all the efforts of the world to save the earth.
Fortunately, in that era, everyone was ruthless and strong, otherwise we really wouldn’t be able to hold on. "
Lynn spoke casually, but the information revealed was terrifying.
"Everywhere that guy goes, he will use three boxes: the mother box. He will transform the entire planet into what he likes. To put it simply, all life on earth will die, and then they will laugh. Haha, yes, you guessed it right, the box in your home is one of the three mother boxes."
"That……!"
"Yes. As long as the Mother Box is still there, they will definitely come again, but it doesn't necessarily mean when. But..."
Lin En was still joking at this time: "You seem to be barely considered a life form of Apokolips now! Maybe you will have the ability to survive on the earth by then."
"Lynn."
Batman looked at Linn: "You just said that there are three mother boxes."
"right."
Lin En continued: "On the one hand, didn't the Earth win? The Gods were very cruel and almost chopped the eight-year-old alive. Then who...Zeus? Or who, forgot, struck the working mother box with a bolt of lightning? It was split open, and those guys escaped in a spaceship, but the mother box stayed on the earth.
Therefore, the three parties at that time, the Amazon clan, the human clan, and the Atlantis clan under the sea, were each assigned a mother box and kept it separately. "
As he said that, Linn looked at Cyborg who was obviously shocked: "Yours should be the one assigned to humans."
"Lynn."
Batman stepped closer. He believed that Linn would definitely not lie about this kind of thing, and he believed that with Linn's habit, Linn would narrate things in this tone, no matter how good or bad they were. Batman certainly has his own set of standards for judging situations.
So, if analyzed according to Linn's description, the answer Batman got is: the dilemma they face is more severe than what the ancients faced thousands of years ago.
After all, the enemy was not in its heyday at that time, but after he failed once, when he came again, he must have had absolute confidence first and then the intention to act.
Not to mention...
"I know the Amazons. Since they are Ms. Diana's tribe, they must be trustworthy in terms of their fighting ability.
However, although I don't know what is going on in Atlantis, I know that in this era, there is absolutely no possibility that humans can reunite again like they did thousands of years ago. "
What Batman said makes sense, which was one of the reasons why Linn always felt a little pessimistic when he first came to DC.
Today's earth can't count on humans anyway.
but……
Not that there is no good news.
"You don't have to worry about this."
Linn smiled slightly and looked at Batman seriously: "Maybe you think that it is difficult for the earth today to face an enemy that may be a hundred times more powerful than in the past. But, actually speaking, the current earth is definitely more powerful than before. It was much stronger back then.
I'm not talking about human technology, population or anything like that. I mean, there are many, many big guys on the planet today.
Although it's not so strong that it's incomprehensible, it's not that weak either. "
Batman frowned. He knew that since Linn said that, it must be true, but he definitely couldn't ask for more in-depth information, so he had to try to ask for less "accurate" information.
"Give me a base point of comparison."
"Well... Superman. Superman, or me. The two of us on Earth right now are not the strongest.
Moreover, the two of us really know someone who can be called: the strongest being. "
Um?
Batman's frown deepened: "Who is it? Why don't I know?"
"Hey, why do you have to know? It's fine as long as I know!"
Batman didn't speak, but he knew in his heart that there must be something he didn't know about, a little secret that only belonged to Linn and Clark.
Ah.
"Mr. Lynn..."
Cyborg was still very polite, and after the misunderstanding was resolved, he no longer felt so exclusive or resistant.
He called Lin En's name, stood up, and looked at Lin En seriously: "You want the mother box because you want to destroy it."
After hearing this, Lin En shook his head: "Unfortunately, I don't know any way to destroy the mother box. Maybe someone can, but it's definitely not me.
and……
I'll just tell the truth. Although the earth is only one of many living planets in the universe, there are many treasures on the earth that are coveted by big guys. Therefore, even if there is no mother box, that guy will find it sooner or later.
He is the destruction of planet after planet, the conquest of universe by universe, which will come sooner or later. "
This kind of rhetoric is a bit scary, and the use of such a "unit" will inevitably make people feel desperate.
Destroying planets and universes in units, is this...is this really a god? !
"Why would God be like this? Isn't there...aren't there other gods to take care of it?"
"Yes~~~, of course."
Lin En made a long note: "What is the name of the old man with white beard... Heavenly Father? It should be. Listen to this name, Heavenly Father!"
This is a relatively kind god, but so what, destruction is easier than creation. They fight every day and don’t care about us~
Moreover, God is not just God. Why does God have to do good things to be God? Where does this logic come from? "
Cyborg opened his mouth, as if he wanted to argue, but he finally realized that it made no sense and made no sense.
Lynn is right, God is just God, nothing more. There are no rules that require gods to protect humans.
"So, can you give me the mother box?"
Linn still took his time.
"I still...can't completely believe you."
"That's okay."
After Linn got an answer, he stopped continuing at all, as if he really just wanted an answer and didn't care what the answer was.
Not given. This answer is also acceptable.
"Then, I don't have anything to do here. I have other things to be busy with, so let's go first."
With a warm smile on his face, Lin En actually turned around and left.
Cyborg was still a little at a loss, suspecting that he might have said or done the wrong thing, but Batman knew that Linn really just felt that things here were over and he could leave.
That's all.
However, he stopped Lynn.
"What?"
"Lynn. How long do we have? Are you really unable to destroy those three mother boxes?"
Batman stared at Linn with piercing eyes, as if trying to read something from his face.
"I definitely can't destroy the mother box. Maybe it would be worse if it was destroyed. Maybe the other side would know the location and situation here at once.
As for time..."
This is really hard for Linn to say.
According to the movies he has watched, the Mother Box is a super technological spirit that is alive and intelligent. They sensed Superman's death and determined that the Earth did not have a strong enough guard, so they took the initiative to activate and called Steppenwolf over.
However, there are some bugs here.
One is that Superman came to Earth only in the past twenty years, not to mention that it only took Clark a few years to truly grow into a human god with a body of steel.
The Mother Box has been on the earth for a thousand years. How much time is there in this thousand years? Why does it have to be in these few years?
Also, even if Superman is gone, there are still other tyrannical life forms on Earth, other resident bosses.
Not to mention the ones wearing various colors, and not to mention the big bosses who have lived on Earth for a long time. Just the agents of all parties, many of whom are here on Earth.
There are several archangels in heaven, and there is also an archangel like Gabriel. There are more than ten agents of hell who are on earth all year round.
Even Lin En, in a sense, can be regarded as the agent of a big boss, but his identity is a bit embarrassing. The bets made by both parties are both heaven and hell. According to his own guess, it may still be It has something to do with the Endless Family.
Moreover, although the Kryptonian that always troubled Iron Chin of Apokolips is gone, another group of minions that always troubled him are still there. The earth has not had a Green Lantern for many years, and hasn't it just been replaced in the past few years?
This point in time is definitely not good, and whether the Mother Box is passed to Iron Jaw or to Steppenwolf, that message has absolutely nothing to do with Clark's death.
On the contrary, it must have something to do with the minions, the civil strife of the Green Lantern Corps.
In Linn's memory, it seemed that the Earth had just regained possession of the Green Lantern, and not long after being protected by the Green Lantern Corps' sector, there was civil strife there, which also affected the Earth.
Therefore, Lin En just pondered for a moment before answering affirmatively: "It won't be too far, short term, one or two months, long term, only two or three years."
At this point, Linn thought that he might as well speak a little more broadly. After all, wasn't the old bat thinking of forming a Zhenglian? It’s better to get it right once and for all.
"Old Bat, do you still remember that green ring that flew to your house?"
Of course Batman remembers it. After all, this kind of super power that fell from the sky is one of the few abilities he has ever used that is not his own, and it hasn't been long.
"Of course I remember, what happened."
"Ah, that's good, let me tell you..."
Cyborg was also here, so Linn didn't lower his voice. They would all be cooperating in the same "team" from now on, and they would all know it sooner or later.
After explaining the origin and responsibilities of Green Lantern, as well as related information, Linn also told Batman the most critical information: "When did the original owner of the Green Lantern ring, its current owner,... If something goes wrong, when will catastrophes appear one after another on the earth?"
"That……"
Batman raised his head thoughtfully and looked at Linn with firm eyes.
"I didn't tell you to capture him and keep him in protective custody! Old Bat, you are too dark!"
"What kind of detention? I didn't say that!"
"Then what do you want to say!"
"I didn't want to say that anyway."
Tilting his head and grinning, Linn's expression clearly said that he didn't believe it.
"Anyway, since you want to form a team of superheroes, then the Green Lantern must join. As for others, you can decide for yourself. I'll leave first."
"Lynn, what about you? Won't you join in?"
"Well..."
Lin En was slightly hesitant and not decisive at all: "It's not good. Look, you and I started quarreling as soon as we met, and even beat you to a bloody head on the street.
This Cyborg... right, ha.
I've also fought against that Green Lantern, and I definitely wasn't trying to steal his ring, or just spar... Humph! If I hadn't been able to wear it, nothing would have happened to you!
Wonder Woman...I probably just killed her father and beat her mother up.
Brother Martian... was beaten by me too, but this time I believe it was him who made the first move.
Green Arrow... I fought, not hard, but I almost killed his teacher, both teachers almost, oh, and his friends, his sister, his girlfriend, his dad... but they All alive, I am not a bad person after all.
The Flash... didn't have time to make a move. I don’t know the guy in the water yet, but one day we’ll get to know each other, hahahaha...
Well. From the look on your face, you seem to have understood, so I don’t need to answer too much. "
Batman nodded: "You...are indeed a person who does great things. I underestimated you."
Somehow, Cyborg was behind and nodded fiercely.
"Let's go. See you in a few days."
"Lynn, where are you going? Find another mother box."
"no."
Lin En had already lifted his legs and walked out, and a faint voice came back: "I'm going to hell."
The figure disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving Cyborg and Batman standing here, each thinking.
After a long time, Cyborg still couldn't hold it back: "He... is he joking, or is he metaphorizing something?"
"No."
Batman is succinct: "Lynn is really going to hell. It's like coming home. He loves it and goes there often."
Go often...
often……
All right.
Cyborg suddenly felt that he had lost Lin En's money and only received a beating. There seemed to be nothing unacceptable.
So in an instant, the little unhappiness in my heart disappeared.
