Bruce felt the immense power within his body, a power so strong it made his very soul tremble, and stared at his hands in disbelief.
After a long pause, he looked up at Ling Yi and said with a wry smile, "Is this the power of the strong?"
"For the first time, I realized how insignificant and weak I truly was."
This extreme Strength Amplification caused Batman to experience a huge psychological letdown.
His past weakness even made him feel somewhat ashamed.
He actually thought about targeting Ling Yi? That's ridiculous.
"Why don't you give it a try?" Ling Yi pointed to the Combat scene in the Manifestation Small World and laughed.
"Of course," Bruce nodded. "But how do I get in?"
Ling Yi waved his hand, and Daoist School appeared before them. Needless to say, Bruce knew how to get in.
Logically speaking, the Green Lantern Corps, with its cloned Superman army, should have been a huge crisis.
If it weren't for Ling Yi, Blue Star would probably have been ravaged by these bastards long ago.
But now, he can only be killed one by one by Cobblepot, Henry, White in the Manifestation Small World.
Look at Gotham City in this Manifestation Small World; it's now a wasteland, with lava flowing and thick smoke billowing—a scene straight out of an Hell.
"Haha, welcome to the team, Bruce!" Upon seeing Bruce appear, Cobblepot couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Cobblepot the Penguin hates two people more than anything in his life: Jerome the Joker and Bruce the Batman.
The two men were, one a rival to the King of Gotham City, and the other an enemy who imprisoned him in Arkham Asylum and subjected him to all sorts of suffering.
Now that the Joker is gone, Harley Quinn is working for the boss.
Batman was just a minor character before; if it weren't for the boss's influence, Cobblepot would have killed Batman long ago.
Now that Batman has joined the boss's ranks, Cobblepot sees Batman as now being one of his own kind.
" Cobblepot, if you do something wrong, I will still arrest you."
" Bruce, we're good people."
"That's because Ling Yi is a good person," Bruce said dismissively.
He knew Cobblepot all too well what kind of person he was. If it weren't for Ling Yi's restraint, who knows what this short guy with a humble and obsequious smile would have become.
The former King of Gotham City, though his King of Gotham!
Cobblepot isn't the only Madman in Gotham City.
Bruce knew very well that he alone could not save Gotham City, much less change the world.
That is precisely why he had the rule of not killing, which was the last bottom line he adhered to.
Without Ling Yi, Gotham City would probably still be the same as before, with sirens blaring 24/7, and explosions, gunshots, and screams never ceasing.
The roadside was littered with trash, and the women, dressed in flamboyant clothes, resembled zombies—"living dead."
Gotham City now? It's practically Heaven.
Bruce threw a punch, sending a clone of Superman flying.
With a backhand slap, he smashed a cannonball that had been revealed by the Green Lantern Army Manifestation.
This feeling fascinated Bruce.
But he was Batman after all, and after adapting to the rhythm of the Combat and his own power, he quickly calmed down.
" Cobblepot, what are you going to do with these people?"
What do you think?
" Blue Star can't accommodate so many people."
"Then kill some and spare others."
"Agree!"
Bruce nodded, then punched one of the green-clad men to pieces.
Seeing Bruce like this, Cobblepot couldn't help but burst into laughter again. " Bruce, you've broken your vow."
"I figured it out a long time ago, but I was too afraid and unable to before."
"I know, Batman, the last ray of light in Gotham City!" Cobblepot certainly knew that.
"Now that Ling Yi is here, Gotham City is no longer shrouded in darkness, although I don't entirely agree with his methods and procedures."
"As long as the result is good, that's enough, isn't it?"
"That's right."
The commotion in Gotham City wasn't just visible to Ling Yi; Tehaden and Luthor were also watching.
Of course, Ling Yi deliberately let them see this. If Ling Yi hadn't let them pass, how could a signal have been transmitted from the fake Gotham City?
"A generous gift of water," Luthor cursed.
Whether it's Superman of Superman or the Hulk, they're as fragile as paper in front of Cobblepot and his crew.
If he had known this would happen, why would he have listened to that old man beside him, formed some Justice League, and gone to provoke Gotham City?
With an army of a thousand cloned Superman under his command, where couldn't he thrive?
Now that he's offended Gotham City, he's doomed.
"Why did this happen? We're finished." Tehaden is now filled with regret. If he had known that the Green Lantern Corps would be so incompetent, he wouldn't have dared to cause trouble.
And this is what they call Guardian of universal justice?
The strongest warrior in the universe? Liar.
"No, it's not us who's finished, it's you who's finished." Luthor shook his head and said, then in the next moment, he shot into the sky and disappeared.
"What?" Tehaden stared dumbfounded at the large hole that had been torn open in the president's office.
He never expected that Luthor could fly!
"Water Specialist, this guy really did have a backup plan. He actually modified himself. But who doesn't have a backup plan?"
As he spoke, Tehaden took a remote control from his pocket and dialed Luthor Lex's number on his cell phone.
"Hey, Luthor, I'd better come back here."
"Are you referring to the Gold of Eternity Nanobomb injected into my body?" Luthor's Taunt voice rang out.
"Since I can even clone Superman, why can't I clone myself? Go ahead and blow me up; I have countless bodies like this."
Goodbye. I hope you'll still be alive when we meet again.
The call was abruptly ended, Tehaden, furious, pressed a button on the remote control.
But the next moment, a purple mushroom cloud suddenly rose from the Octagon that had just been built.
The violent explosion instantly leveled the Octagon.
Fortunately, Tehaden's office hasn't moved to the Octagon yet, otherwise it would be in ruins by now.
Meanwhile, in the cosmic space beyond Blue Star, a semi-circular spaceship silently floats.
This is the Green Lantern Corps ' command ship.
However, the one currently controlling this command ship is not a member of the Green Lantern Corps, but Luthor.
Inside the spaceship's control room, Luthor sat in the captain's chair, surrounded by the corpses of more than a dozen Green Lantern Corps commanders.
"This Gold of Eternity Bullet is really useful," Luthor said with a wicked grin, fiddling with a pistol.
"However, we can't stay on this Blue Star anymore. That Ling Yi has offended the Guardian, which is why the Green Lantern Corps has appeared."
"Although I don't know what the Guardian are, they must be very powerful. Blue Star is a dangerous place right now."
Clearly, Luthor obtained a lot of information from the Green Lantern Corps.
Now even the Guardian know.
Just then, the command ship's communication screen suddenly lit up, followed by a Masai appearing on the screen.
The Masai gradually became clearer, eventually transforming into a bizarre figure with a head and body completely out of proportion, looking quite disjointed.
This person had bluish skin, a bald head, a chubby face, and narrow eyes.
The figure, dressed in a long black robe with gold trim, stood in the center of a room filled with mirrors, each reflecting the strange man's Mirror Image.
"Hello, Luthor Lex." The Black Robe Big Head's voice was deep and cold, like that of a machine devoid of any emotion.
Luthor blinked and asked, "Who are you?"
"My name is Guardian, and I am the Supreme Existence of this universe."
Luthor paused, his eyes darting around, then rubbed his hands together respectfully and said, "Greetings, Guardian Guardian. May I ask what business you have with me?"
"I will send you to a place where the most primal power in the universe resides. If you can obtain this power, you will become the strongest in the universe."
Luthor gave a nervous laugh and asked, "I wonder what the Guardian wants me to do?"
The Big Head didn't say anything, and the screen gradually went dark.
The next moment, an energy acted on Luthor, and Luthor's figure disappeared from the spaceship.
About ten minutes later, Luthor reappeared in the spaceship.
It looks like nothing has changed from before.
There was just a small, vertical blue cesium slit on his forehead.
It looks like a vertically oriented, squinting One Eye.
Luthor touched his forehead and rubbed it vigorously, frowning as he looked out of the spaceship at the azure cesium planet so close at hand.
" Ling Yi?" Luthor murmured.
Although the Guardian didn't tell him what to do, Luthor guessed the Guardian's purpose in giving him the power.
Who did the Guardian send the Green Lantern Corps to Earth to fight? Ling Yi!
Who is his enemy? Ling Yi!
So, should I really go and deal with Ling Yi?
"Heh heh heh, trying to use me? Absolutely not." Luthor sneered.
Luthor has an extremely high IQ; otherwise, he wouldn't have mastered such sophisticated cloning technology.
The Guardian was clearly either afraid, or restricted by some other reason, from personally attacking Ling Yi.
If the universe is truly supreme, why would it need to engage in such petty and despicable activities?
"So, what secrets does this guy, whom even the Guardian fear and want to eliminate, hold?"
With a thought, Luthor's blue slit on his forehead suddenly emitted a blue light, and in the next moment, a set of black sapphire armor covered his entire body.
The kind that covers even the face.
Only on his forehead was there an oval-shaped crystal that emitted a deep blue light.
With Ying Yi, Luthor appeared outside the spaceship, then vanished in another instant.
When they reappeared, they were already in Gotham City, at Ling Yi's doorstep.
The black armor faded away like mercury, revealing him once again as the bald Luthor.
Luthor rubbed his hands together and rang the doorbell.
