Chapter 665 The Eternal Flame of the Ghostly Lamp, the Dawn's Black Light! SS-Class Batman: The Dawn's Ghostly Lamp
Hal had made up his mind.
Whatever Batman's plan may be, as long as it's effective, Hal will consider it. No, or rather, he'll simply follow it.
It's not that he wants to believe Batman, but that he has no other choice now.
His battle with Barbatos appears to be evenly matched, but only Hal knows that he is now fighting against multiple opponents.
Only by breaking through all obstacles with unstoppable momentum, like a tiger descending a mountain, and rushing to one's destination in one go, can one possibly escape from this siege.
Once he gets bogged down in a protracted battle, as time goes on, both the Black Death Emperor and Brainiac will gradually realize their weakness, and then it will be a situation where they are devoured by a group of sharks.
and so……
"Hurry up, Batman! Whatever you can think of that might help in this damn situation!"
Barbatos thought Parallax Demon Hal was terrifyingly strong, and coincidentally, Parallax Demon Hal thought the same thing.
Barbatos found the parallax demon Hal terrifying and dangerous, and Hal felt the same way.
"No, listen to me first. My plan requires your cooperation; it's not something I can do on my own."
"So tell me quickly, what exactly do you want?"
"The reason you are constantly being dragged to your death by the Black Death Emperor is entirely because you have died before. And the reason he has the ability to influence you is because he received energy from Barbatos."
Chen Tao said:
"But didn't you notice? Normally, when you first start to die, a black light ring should be forced onto your hand."
"But not now." Parallax Morhal realized something, then looked at Batman Dragon.
"Yes, I stopped it." Chen Tao opened his palm, and several black lamp rings were constantly trying to break through the shield formed by the white light. The mini version of the white lamp spirit next to him was making babbling noises and breathing heavily on the lamp rings.
Barbatos swayed his body and attacked Hal again. At this point, Hal could even feel a trace of fate forcefully influencing his movements. It was Barbatos's divine power, and the other was weaving a brand new destiny. In that instant, Hal saw his own dark future in that destiny.
"Get out!" A thunderous roar rolled in, and the fate that had just been woven was reduced to ashes by Hal's heavy punch, which almost shattered the chaotic spatial turbulence. But Hal felt Barbatos rebuilding itself in the next moment, and even faster than before.
He heard Barbatos's low laughter, cold and deep, as he disappeared behind space and time, preparing for his next attack.
Hal was starting to get agitated; what Batman was saying wasn't helping the current situation at all.
"You'd better say something useful." He said this while panting heavily, and then suddenly swung his fist, tearing through space and striking the somewhat stunned Barbatos in the face like a giant pendulum. The center of the fist shone with a dazzling green light, almost forcing Barbatos back, but soon his face turned dark, and Barbatos swung his claws, exploding a large cloud of blood mist in his chest.
They fought a cataclysmic battle on the outer edge of the hypertime stream, from the Speed Force plane all the way to the Bloodline, and then crashed back to the edge of the flowing hypertime stream.
"That's what I'm going to talk about next."
Chen Tao said:
"Our current actions are futile. No matter how many times I use the white light to save you from the Black Death Emperor, he can continue to activate his power without any risk and drag you back to him. This is a war of attrition, and we are the ones who cannot afford to lose."
"So, do you have any way to solve this completely and permanently?"
"It's very simple," Chen Tao said.
"To prevent the Black Death Emperor from leading you to your death, let me kill you first."
"What did you say?"
Hal almost thought he hadn't heard what the other person was saying.
Although he was mentally prepared for a desperate measure, Batman's suggestion still made his heart sink.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight thoughts raced through his mind, his face hidden in the shadows, lost in thought.
Chen Tao quickly explained the entirety of his plan.
"Your past death is an established fact in the hyperchronic flow. Unless we destroy the entire hyperchronic flow and rewrite history, the Black Emperor's influence on you cannot be removed. So rather than letting the Black Emperor hold this initiative, we might as well do the opposite."
Hal heard Batman say, "In the vast realm of death, the Black Death Emperor only occupies a portion of it. He is powerful, and his authority is extensive. He is the Lord of lifeless beings, death on the emotional spectrum, but even so, he cannot encroach upon the domains of other representatives of death."
At this point, Hal had already realized what Batman wanted to do.
"Yes, that's right. I once resurrected my entire Justice League using the Garden of Bones, the Crimson of All Beings," Chen Tao said. "As a Green Lantern Ring holder and a user of the Emotional Spectrum, Hal Jordan, according to the laws of death, you should be placed under the control of the Black Death Emperor. That's why the Black Death Emperor has always been able to influence you."
"But what if a conflict of authority arises at this point..." Hal said.
"Yes, that's right. If you possess the power of the Crimson of All Beings and the Spirit of Metal, you will simultaneously have two identities: [User of the Emotional Spectrum] and [Spokesperson of the Crimson of All Beings and the Spirit of Metal]."
Chen Tao said, "So, based on the domain that death divides for each representative, after death you can report to the Black Death Emperor, but you can also go to the Crimson Underworld of All Beings [White Bone Garden] or come directly to the Underworld belonging to the Metal Spirit."
He paused, then said, "Although I haven't built my own Metal Spirit Underworld yet, the attraction of the Metal Spirit to the dead remains unchanged, plus the attraction of the Crimson of All Beings to your soul..."
"With the combination of these two factors, plus my own strength, I will be able to break free from the Black Death Emperor's control over me," Parallax Mohal said.
"Yes, and at the same time, because you are too strong, the method of resurrecting people by the Crimson of All Beings is not enough to revive you, so I must obtain your body and then plant the spirit of the White Lamp in your chest."
Before your soul, drifting towards the Crimson of All Beings, reaches the Garden of Bones, I can resurrect you through your corpse. The Crimson of All Beings and the Spirit of Metal merely serve to prevent your soul from being immediately taken by the Black Death Emperor.
"At the same time, you are controlling the Parallax Monster within you," Chen Tao said. "When you die, the Parallax Monster will try to leave your body, but you possess the fifth-dimensional bat mite power that I shared with you. With my help, using the power to modify reality, you can trap the Parallax Monster inside your corpse—this is a temporary measure."
"When I recall your soul and return it to its rightful place, you will be perfectly resurrected without losing any power."
Chen Tao said, "So, Hal, I've finished explaining my plan... Shall we proceed?"
Then neither of them said anything.
Chen Tao had no intention of playing tricks at this time. He had been avoiding a direct confrontation with Parallax Mohal, and even more so, avoiding being regarded as a mortal enemy by the other party.
He has consistently played the role of a loyal ally, maintaining this relationship normally to this day.
If Hal is to fail, it will be because of the evil Barbatos and the villains, not because of his loyal ally Batman. Chen Tao only wanted to cause trouble secretly; he never intended to play his cards openly in front of Hal.
If Hal really intends to carry out his plan, he would never deliberately cause trouble in the area he's responsible for; at most...
At most, he would deliberately and accidentally injure Hal's physical body more severely to prevent him from becoming too strong after arriving in the mortal world and doing something that Chen Tao could not control. At the same time, he would also accidentally leave some control methods on his physical body.
Although Hal's current power is similar to that of the former Superman Supreme, almost nothing can control him. Not to mention Chen Tao, even Barbatos couldn't. Hal is a manifestation of his true form, not an incarnation like the Anti-Monitor Dragon.
But the methods left behind can still guide Chen Tao to Hal's location, allowing him to find and monitor him at any time, and that is enough.
The best hunters are always sharp-eyed and keen-eared; without intelligence about their prey, there is no plan.
Everything is ready now, but the only problem is...
Hal.
Does Hal trust Batman?
Will he really act as Chen Tao planned?
"Don't trust Batman," came the voice of the Time Trapped in Halda's ear.
"Batman has ulterior motives. There are too many things he can manipulate in this plan. Before your soul completely reaches the Bone Garden, your life is entirely in his hands... If he has malicious intentions and doesn't want someone as powerful as you to go to the mortal world, then he only needs to close the Bone Garden, and the connection between your soul and body will be severed, and you will really die."
The man in the room objected in a low voice, "Are you out of your mind? You trust Batman that much? Haven't you ever considered that he might have ill intentions?"
"No, of course not, but we have countermeasures, Trapped One, I still have you as my ally," Parallax Morhal said. "Moreover, to others my corpse is just a corpse, but only my soul exists within it... that is Parallax Morhal."
"You're just going to gamble like that? Besides, that countermeasure was originally intended for Batman; it should be used in more crucial situations, not here!" the Trapped One said. "Couldn't you just..."
"Besides the Batman plan, do you have any other plans you can offer me?"
Then he heard Hal's voice:
"This plan is feasible, and that's enough for me. If Batman lies to me, then he's no longer my ally. After escaping using countermeasures, those countermeasures won't be needed anymore, because I'll crush him head-on." Hal's voice carried a hint of coldness.
"What we need to discuss now is how we'll get out of this mess if Batman really did lie to me," Hal said. "Alright, I've made my decision. You need me, Timetrapper, just as I need you. It's the only way."
He conspired with the others for a while before answering Chen Tao.
"Get ready to take action. What are you planning to do?"
"My next strike will hit you squarely in the chest, stopping your heart from beating. And you'll have to let go of all your defenses... your Green Lantern ring and all your energy. Only then can I land a blow. Are you ready?"
"Yes."
Hal lowered his head and then looked at the sharp claws that had grown out of his palm, and the tiger hairs that had grown out of the back of his hand.
"I have remotely infused the power of the Crimson of All Beings into your body through the divine power of the bat mite. You are now a low-level representative of the Crimson of All Beings in our universe. You know what this means, so prepare yourself!"
Hal unleashed a blinding light, briefly forcing back Barbatos, who thought victory was assured, and then retreated a few steps. What followed was—
"1!"
Hal felt his heart pounding; he stood there feeling as if he were being plunged onto a roller coaster that was plummeting downwards.
He muttered to himself:
"The sun shines brightly, the night is dark... demons and monsters have nowhere to hide..."
"2!"
Hal roared, a sound that shook the heavens and the earth:
"The wicked and treacherous followers fear my divine light..."
He raised his arm high, and endless green light emanated from his palm, as if creating a green sun in the spatial turbulence of a hyper-temporal flow.
"3!"
The endless light almost drove away all the death energy brought by the Black Death Emperor. Hal roared, "May the green light shine forever!"
boom!

【The Ghostly Lamp at Dawn】
[Danger Level: SS+]
In the blink of an eye, Parallax Morhal died on the spot, and Chen Tao also heard the voice of the Alfred Protocol.
What appeared before him at that moment was the Dawn Lantern, the master of the [Lights Out Program], the nemesis of all emotional spectrum and colored light!
……
……
……
In the shadow of the hyper-time flow.
The first Lantern was quietly observing the battlefield, while another hidden character was speaking to him in a low voice beside him.
"Hey, my dear ally, are you ready? This exciting show won't be any fun without your most beautiful light show."
"It's none of your business to care."
"The first Lantern Man said."
"Watch your own behavior, Emperor Joker."
He said, "I am the master of the emotional spectrum, the king who wields colored light, and all those who use the emotional spectrum are my poor imitators."
No one can steal the energy of the spectrum from my palm, nor can anyone extinguish my colored light…
"Nobody's here!"
