Purple Lantern

The Emperor Tower, top floor.

Ba Di stood by the window, dressed in white, elegant and dignified, domineering and majestic. His skin was crystal clear, radiating a faint glow. He nodded, lost in thought in the sunlight, presenting an image of otherworldly refinement.

He rested his right hand on his left, his thumb rubbing his palm as he pondered.

The room was quiet, with only dust particles floating slowly in the sunlight.

The air is warm and comfortable, with a faint, fresh, and oxygen-rich scent.

"Eek..."

Ba Di suddenly awoke, snapping out of his reverie. He stopped rubbing his palms together, ceased thinking, and stepped out from the room enveloped in a soft glow to the bedside.

He sat down lightly at the head of the bed, his dignified and domineering face suddenly softening into tenderness. His fingers gently covered Jenny's forehead, her smooth hair as smooth as satin, glossy and shiny.

Ba Di gently pressed his thumb against her brow, lightly smoothing it out.

Ba Di has always believed that Jenny's cool and sexy mature and sophisticated style, coupled with her furrowed brows, would ruin her beauty.

Ba Di still likes Jenny the most; she smiles at him, is bold and unrestrained, passionate and outgoing, and can say anything to him.

However, ever since she fell in love with herself, Jenny has lived a life of unbearable suffering.

I still remember the large hand that smoothed the furrow in your brow; it was the same hand that had ruthlessly fired the gun, extinguishing the love and hope in your heart.

Ba Di's rugged face softened, his eyes fixed on Jenny's cold and beautiful face, lost in thought.

Memories flashed through his mind.

In the underground research lab, Jenny smiled radiantly, nestled against her husband's chest, her passionate figure so intense it was almost suffocating.

Escaping the military base, her evening gown burned like fire, her swaying figure was forlorn, alone and helpless, desperately lying on the cold ground, weeping blood.

In the dead of night, she writhed in agony amidst flickering flames and smoke, her monstrous, hideous form trembling with fear, her heart as innocent as a child's, afraid of being hated by Ba Di. Her heart ached with complex, indescribable sorrow, and she embraced herself in anguish before exploding to her death.

final.

Ba Di threatened millions of people to force the Flash to take him on a time-travel journey to save Jenny from the moment of her death.

"I have already reigned supreme over Earth."

"Waiting for you to wake up..."

"I bestow upon you the highest honor, and my love."

Ba Di closed his eyes, his gaze moist and sour.

Jenny's brow furrowed with unease, as if she sensed a familiar presence from Ba Di swirling in her heart.

Her brows smoothed out, and the slight unease she had felt from the nightmare also subsided.

His breathing gradually calmed down.

It's like being immersed in the most comfortable and safe embrace.

Jenny's eyelids slowly opened, her eyebrows trembled slightly, as if she were being reborn.

From the vast darkness, a sliver of light appeared, causing her eyelids to twitch and contract. A familiar figure appeared before her.

"Ba Di!"

Jenny froze, her face instantly contorting with terror, and lunged at Ba Di's chest, a chest as hard as steel, radiating a soft, familiar aura.

Her cold, beautiful face showed terror.

"General Vick is after you!"

"I won't let General Vick hurt you!"

"I'm here, Ba Di, don't be afraid!"

Jenny was so nervous that her skin was covered in a thick layer of sweat. Her face was filled with fear as she pressed herself against Ba Di's chest. Then she suddenly turned her head left and right, tightly hugging Ba Di's waist, looking around at her surroundings with trepidation.

Like a squirrel fiercely protecting its fruit.

Ba Di chuckled, then hugged Jenny and wiped away the beads of sweat that had formed on her brow.

"Don't be afraid, Jenny, I've dealt with General Vick. He won't threaten our lives."

Ba Di was touched and amused, and gently comforted Jenny.

She was still in that moment when General Vick wanted to deal with Ba Di.

They wanted to hide and protect Ba Di.

I wanted to see that monster moment when I was there one last time with Ba Di.

After several gentle strokes from Ba Di, Jenny's tense body slowly relaxed.

Looking around, it was clear that it wasn't inside that steel cage.

Jenny pulled her hands away from Ba Di's waist, puzzled.

She held her hands in front of her eyes to look at it, her cold and beautiful face stunned.

These fair, slender fingers were not the swollen hands with bone spurs, and there was no pain in her body.

Jenny looked at Ba Di with dazed eyes, her hands trembling as she cupped Ba Di's face in her hands.

Her slender fingers gently brushed across Ba Di's face, his high nose bridge, the smile playing at the corners of his mouth, and the scars on his cheeks—every single one of them bore the mark of Ba Di.

"Ba Di, this...this really is me, I'm not dreaming."

Tears welled up in Jenny's eyes, and large tears streamed down her face like a river.

"This is my Ba Di!"

Jenny gently placed her hands on Ba Di's neck, wrapped her arms around him, and pulled herself forward again, hugging Ba Di tightly.

The crying grew even louder.

The entire space was filled with the sound of wailing and crying.

All the pain was released in the crying.

Ba Di gently patted Jenny's back.

At that moment, Ba Di felt...

It was all worth it.

It's worth it for him to use tens of millions of people to blackmail the Flash and travel through time.

It's worth saving.

This woman who loves him deeply deserves to be saved.

He felt gratified and moved.

Everyone who loves you deserves to be cherished.

at the same time.

In the vast, desolate universe, the stars glitter and revolve.

On a white dwarf star.

A vast expanse of white desolation, devoid of any sign of life, stretching far into the distance, where it meets the sky—all is a boundless expanse of white.

In this desolate scene.

There was a creature with a human body, but with insect-like arthropods growing from its back, and its whole body was filled with a terrifying, yellowish light.

He stood tall amidst the vast, boundless wilderness.

Loneliness, despair, pain, helplessness, fear.

The figure stood there alone, motionless, with no spark in its eyes.

Suddenly, a streak of purple light, like a meteor trailing a flame, shot toward Earth.

Hal's dull eyes flashed with a mechanical reaction, and yellow fear energy surged around him, propelling him toward the purple light.

"That's... Carol's..."
