"You have to trust me."
Under Bruce Wayne's villa, a cave was transformed into a laboratory. Rogers was reminding Bruce Wayne over and over again like a hypnotist.
The ring on his hand was emitting a ball of light, but this ball of light was very long, circling around Wayne like a thread. Under Rogers' urging, the end of the thread approached Wayne's body again and again, as if testing something, touching it lightly and then escaping quickly.
After dozens of times, Guangming seemed to be tired of this little game. He looked disgusted and kept a distance from Bruce Wayne. No matter how Rogers kept urging him, he refused to get any closer.
"Is this a failure?" Wayne was also helpless when he saw this scene.
"You can't trust me, so you are repelled by the energy of the ring. It's like an ignorant child who only gets close to people who are close to it." Rogers took back the energy and let Bruce Wayne experience the test of feeling the energy of the ring, and he was in trouble from the beginning.
"Trust requires time and foundation. And I rarely give trust to others," Wayne said.
"Then, to help you resolve the hidden danger, I have no choice but to choose a backup plan," Rogers said. "I'll help you eliminate the scarecrow and bring back his scarecrow mask for you to study."
"As Batman?" Wayne raised his eyebrows, looking as if he was thinking about something.
"You can choose. I can pretend to be you, or I can be myself." Rogers spread his hands. "I need to remind you that this is just the beginning. If you can't master this energy quickly, the tough criminals you encounter in the future may possess similar powers. This city is simply too suitable for the growth of negative energy. This means it will be more active and more likely to choose a carrier to carry it."
"I'll make you a custom Batsuit," Wayne nodded. Although he was cautious, Rogers possessed a certain trust and confidence. Anyone else would have likely fallen under that influence and placed their trust in Rogers.
Although he was able to control his emotions and reason and was always wary and suspicious of Rogers, he was also willing to take some risks to verify it.
Having someone do something as Batman is obviously part of the adventure.
…
"Hey, wait, where are you taking me? What's wrong with you? What the hell just happened?"
A green light flashed across the universe like a rainbow. Hal Jordan, who was wrapped in the green light, screamed in fear.
He found that his ring was out of control!
This had never happened before, and he had never seen it from any of his predecessors, nor from any of the green light usage tips.
He was carrying out a mission within the area he was responsible for, but the ring suddenly wrapped around him uncontrollably and put him into a hurry mode.
As for the direction, if the star map that he had imprinted in his mind during this period was correct, it seemed to be his hometown!
As he journeyed, Hal Jordan constantly tried to communicate with the ring, doing everything he could to regain control of its energy. But nothing he did was effective. His ring was determined, completely ignoring the wearer's thoughts, like a hungry person rushing to a feast of delicious food; no one could stop it.
…
"The power of fear? No, only I hold the full power of fear! The Parallax Monster is mine!"
In the universe, Tal Sinestro seemed to sense something and looked in a certain direction. He instinctively realized that a new competitor had appeared. After a brief thought, he quickly rushed in the direction he sensed.
He couldn't accept someone sharing the power of fear with him! He needed to deal with the sudden competitor.
…
"The emotional energy in sector 2814 is unusually active. Has something unexpected happened?"
The headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps. In the department responsible for managing and monitoring the emotional spectrum and the Green Lantern Corps, several blue-skinned little blue men looked on, puzzled, as the emotional energy in a certain region of the universe, far exceeding the exponential level of activity, reached a point of extreme activity.
The emotional energy in that sector seemed to come alive, emitting vigorous and active fluctuations at all times, with a very high growth rate.
"Maybe we should get someone to investigate. Who's in charge of that sector? Let me see. Oh, I found someone else. It's Hal Jordan! He's a promising rookie. Notify him and have him investigate what's going on there. That's why the emotional energy is so active and growing."
The little blue man flipped through the documents and muttered, "These are turbulent times. An elite and powerful Green Lantern recently deserted the Green Lantern Corps and embraced another terrifying emotional energy. They are hunting him throughout the universe and preventing him from further contact with and mastering that terrifying energy."
The soldiers of the Green Lantern Corps are now searching the entire universe for the trace of Tal Sinestro. If they cannot stop him, then when the other party masters that power, they may suffer a catastrophic disaster in the future.
…
"Look who this is? The famous Batman who escaped in such a panic?"
In a slum area with piles of illegal buildings, Scarecrow signaled his men to continue installing the collection device he had made in the past few days, while looking at the familiar yet vaguely wrong black figure on the wall in front of him.
"Why do you dare appear before me? Do you wish to experience that profound fear again?" Scarecrow chuckled as he approached Batman. At the same time, red and yellow energy began to emanate from his body. Over time, with the passage of time and the installation of the device, his energy and strength had increased significantly. In other words, in just a short period of time, his strength had increased far beyond what he had experienced in his battle with Batman a few days ago.
Of course, without any filter to control his fear, he was further affected and eroded by it. Perhaps he himself didn't notice it, but the experienced Rogers could tell at a glance that he had practically merged with the scarecrow mask, his mind controlled by the negative energy it gathered.
The other party's mental will was obviously not as tough and strong as Rogers imagined.
So under the Scarecrow's astonished gaze, he saw golden light emerging from Batman in front of him. Those lights, like the red and yellow light emanating from his body, formed a layer of golden energy coat.
"Damn it! How could you possibly master my kind of power!"
The scarecrow felt like he was being cheated on, and he was jumping up and down in rage. His spirit had been in an excited state all these days. He was intoxicated with fear, and he particularly wanted everyone to be immersed in fear with him. Anyone who stood in his way was an enemy.
Especially the energy emanating from the person opposite him had a smell that he hated.
The red and yellow energy formed into a massive hammer, which the skinny scarecrow grasped and smashed down upon the opponent. The energy flowing into the hammer was so immense that the hammer, condensed from energy, was as large as a small house. With the handle nearly ten meters long, the scarecrow wielding it looked like a tiny insect compared to its enormous size.
However, the scarecrow's massive size didn't hinder him in the slightest. His hammer, with its immense destructive power, ripped a deep crater into the earth, sending cracks radiating outward in all directions. The ground shook like an earthquake, and the surrounding buildings trembled, showering them with dust and broken "parts." One of the scarecrow's men, assembling the device, was struck on the head by a falling door panel, sending him sprawling to the ground.
Rogers, disguised as Batman, circled in the air and dodged the hammer. At the same time, he took advantage of the concealment of the hammer and turned into a yellow light, quickly approaching the Scarecrow.
The fist landed on the scarecrow, and a look of surprise and pain that was hard to conceal flashed across the scarecrow's face. He flew backwards and broke through a wall. He struggled to stand up in the rubble, full of confusion.
Why was the opponent able to break through the protection of the energy suit and hurt him?
Why did he feel so painful when the other person's fist landed on him?
Why did this guy who covered his head and dared not see anyone and was nosy, possess such powerful power after just a few days of absence?
However, Rogers did not give him any chance at all, and launched a continuous attack on him.
Scarecrow's fighting skills aren't considered exceptional in Gotham; he relies on his brains and potions to commit crimes. Last time, he easily overpowered Batman because his energy cloak enhanced him with heightened acuity, quicker vision, greater speed and agility, and powerful protection. Of course, most importantly, the corrosive nature of his own energy.
Fear caused him to weaken Batman's strength to an extremely low level, and his increased strength in turn easily crushed Batman, whose strength was greatly weakened.
But the Batman before him was not only immune to the erosion of his power of fear, but also shook the rule of his power of fear!
The opponent's energy was able to penetrate the protective energy suit, causing some damage to his body. Under continuous beatings, the power of fear gradually subsided. As the Scarecrow's IQ suddenly increased, he finally realized what he had always felt was abnormal.
"You're not Batman! You're a fake!" the Scarecrow yelled.
Rogers' eyes flickered, and just as he was about to knock the Scarecrow unconscious, subdue him, and take him back, he suddenly looked up at the sky as if he sensed something.
A long green rainbow flashed across the night sky and rapidly descended towards them.
"No, no, no! This can't happen! You can't leave me!"
With a sudden sound, a green light separated from the fallen person and shot towards Rogers like a young swallow. However, just as the green light was about to reach Rogers, it was firmly blocked by a layer of golden light.
Rogers sensed a deep disdain and dissatisfaction with the green light from his ring. This disdain and dissatisfaction was even stronger than the disdain for the fear power of the scarecrow.
The green light that was blocked outside stubbornly hit the light wall several times. When it found that it could not break through, it circled around Rogers like a firefly, looking for a gap up and down, and at the same time continuously emitted waves of green light towards Rogers, as if telling something.
This strange scene left Rogers stunned.
With his enhanced eyesight, he surpassed Superman. He had already seen what was wrapped in the green light. It was a ring!
A ring that seems to be somewhat similar to the ring on his hand!
He looked in shock at the source of the ring. A person who looked clearly human was also staring at him in amazement. However, compared to his gaze at the other person, the other person's eyes were full of resentment and disbelief.
"Is it yours?" Rogers chopped the scarecrow to the ground with a decisive hand, and forcefully pulled off the hood that was stuck to the scarecrow's head like glue. He pointed at the green ring that was circling around him like a satellite and asked the stranger.
"Of course it's mine." Hal Jordan replied, using his telepathy that had not yet been disconnected from the ring to constantly summon the ring, wanting it to come back.
However, Hal's actions seemed to stimulate the ring, making it understand something. Its whole body glowed brightly, and then it became restrained again.
Green Lantern Hal froze, completely frozen. He realized that the connection he had with the ring had been completely severed. Even more unacceptable was the ring's active disconnection, like a boyfriend catching him flirting with another boy, and now it was distancing itself from him.
He is obviously the original wife!
He is the wearer and owner of the Green Lantern Ring!
However, he could only look at the disconnected light ring and frantically approach the weirdo who was wearing strange clothes and looked unruly in an even more dog-licking manner.
Rogers was also embarrassed. He now had to work hard to calm his ring to prevent it from suddenly fighting with the green ring.
The energy in the ring was low, and the collection rate was slow in this city with a bad atmosphere. He didn't want to waste too much energy on a ring for no reason.
So the current situation on the field is that the two rings are madly fighting and cursing each other with a certain energy frequency, and the two wearers are staring at each other in confusion, not knowing what to do.
"Would you mind talking somewhere else?" Captain Rogers finally broke the awkwardness. He forced a smile, even though he was wearing a mask.
