Chapter 235 Hal Feels the Red Hood's Pain
boom!
The yellow crowbar shattered Senesto's hastily assembled shield with a single blow, sending him tumbling through the air like a baseball, feeling weightless.
If Seneca hadn't possessed unwavering willpower, remaining unmoved even by such a sudden attack, that single blow would have sent him crashing to the ground, instantly rendering him incapable of fighting.
Chen Tao's figure paused in mid-air, about to fall, but then the power of the Crimson of All Beings immediately drove the flesh and blood on his back to move. Red muscles burst through the skin, tendons and bones formed, creating a pair of bat-shaped fleshy wings, allowing him to hover in the air.
Chen Tao touched the yellow stick, it seemed that the "yellow defect" was not the same for different Lanterns.
Even though he had just reverted to his original form and hadn't synchronized with any Batman, the power of the Red Soul and the Metal Spirit still allowed him to retain his basic superhuman strength.
Although he didn't intend to smash Sinestro's brains open with a single blow, Sinestro wasn't particularly defenseless against crowbars, and the skulls of the Koruga aliens couldn't possibly be harder than Red Hood's. (Note: Koruga is Sinestro's home planet.)
If it weren't for the protection of the Green Light Ring's energy, Sinestro would never be in this unscathed state.
"Who are you?"
Seneca was dizzy from the knocking, and although he asked a question, his hands didn't stop moving.
The enormous green tentacles grabbed the plane that he had just repaired himself and used it as a weapon to slam it down on Chen Tao.
With a loud bang, Chen Tao was sent flying back at an even faster speed than when he flew towards him.
"Foolish! A yellow flaw? It seems you're not entirely ignorant about Green Lantern. But if you think you can fight Green Lantern with just that, you're sorely mistaken."
"My God, what are you doing, Sinestro? That's Batman! You just punched Batman so hard he flew off the plane!"
Hal then realized what the hell had just charged at them, and he hurriedly stopped Seneca:
"You can't attack my homeworld's superheroes just because I focus too much attention on my homeworld. Good heavens, that's Batman! I even bought his toys in high school, and the newspapers reported him defeating the Roman Falcone!"
"Your management of your planet is far too lax, rookie," Sinestro said, turning to Halon, then facing Batman who had landed on the ground.
"You have violated 15 Earth and galactic laws, the most important of which is attacking Green Lantern Corps law enforcement personnel, Earthlings. Although the term 'law enforcement personnel' is indeed a bit lenient in this context."
"But I regret to inform you that you have been arrested. Not only for assaulting a police officer, but also for maliciously exploiting pornography."
This action elevates your criminal liability from a level that can be handled within a planet to a cosmic level. You will be arrested and taken to Oa, tried, and imprisoned in the lowest level of prison until your sentence is served, as a warning to the entire universe not to attempt to use the "yellow flaw" to violently resist the law or to oppose members of the Green Lantern Corps.
"Stop, stop, stop, Sinestro, are you kidding me? This is my home planet, why are you suddenly enforcing your own laws..."
Hal blocked his way.
Sinestro paused slightly, then put down the light ring that had begun to glow.
"Indeed, I'm sorry, rookie. Due to territorial regulations, Green Lantern Corps members are prohibited from entering other Green Lantern-controlled sectors. Enforcement authority in this sector truly belongs to you, and I overstepped my bounds." Sinestro's expression softened when facing Hal, his fellow Green Lantern Corps member, but quickly tightened again, appearing somewhat serious.
"But I want you to know that using the weaknesses of the yellow light to attack the green light is an absolutely malicious act, and the Legion manual requires us to severely punish such behavior in order to maintain the Green Light Legion's deterrent power."
He said, "I have no intention of overstepping your law enforcement authority in your sector, but you should know that if you don't want me to overstep my bounds, you should manage your own homeworld properly."
"Can I...?"
Hal was about to say something, but quickly got his answer from Celisto's piercing gaze. So he sighed.
"Okay, okay..."
He landed in front of Chen Tao and looked at the other man dressed in yellow.
Crunch, crunch, crunch—
A metallic twisting sound rang out, and Sinestro used the metal from the plane, shaping it with the energy of the green light, to turn them into a pair of handcuffs, then thoughtfully delivered them to Hal.
Oh my, what a kind and understanding senior!
Hal inwardly scoffed. He leaned closer and created a green barrier, separating himself from Chen Tao to prevent Sinestro from hearing their conversation: "Oh, um, you're Batman, right? The government has contacted me."
Hal Jordan, the future greatest Green Lantern, is now a rookie Green Lantern and doesn't quite know how to put his words into words.
"Good heavens, how did you find me? I clearly never revealed my real identity to the government, how did you get to the airport where I work...?"
Chen Tao was quietly doing something else and didn't intend to speak. He also wanted to listen quietly to what the other party planned to do. But as soon as he heard the words "What are you doing?", he immediately triggered the keyword and involuntarily generated a combo attack.
"Because I am Batman."
"..."
Hal was speechless and waved his hand.
"Never mind, now's not the time to talk about this," Hal said.
"No matter what, the laws of the universe are important. What you did was extremely serious—trying to use the Yellow Flaw against Green Lantern… During class, Kirowog specifically reminded me that if anyone uses the Yellow Flaw, the entire organization will consider them terrorists and arrest them for trial… Well, everything that's happened lately has been a mess. Oh, by the way, Kirowog is a pink pig. I mean, he's an alien who walks upright like us, but his head looks like a pink pig."
Hal rambled on and on, spouting a lot of nonsense, before finally saying, "How about this? I'll just put some handcuffs on you, and you can pretend I've arrested you, okay?"
"Although you did commit a crime, we can fool Sinestro together and that's it. I'll tell Sinestro, that red alien, that I've finally decided to leave you on my planet to serve your sentence. He's very busy. If you act up in front of him, he might actually take the time to arrest you and take you away. But if you ignore him, then you should be fine."
Hal said:
"Then after we leave, you can go home by yourself and eat the dinner your parents have prepared for you."
As he said this, Hal thought of his parents. Sadly, his father died in a plane crash when he was a teenager, and his mother severed ties with him because he became a pilot, and even refused to let him see her one last time before she died.
The person who caused his father's plane crash due to his mistake was his childhood sweetheart, Carol Ferris's father, Carl Ferris.
This is why, for so many years, he and Carol harbored resentment towards each other and never managed to get married.
Although he was well aware that his father's plane crash had also left a huge shadow on young Carol... well, his thoughts had gone astray.
Hal realized he was very distracted; Carol's request for him to become a pilot again to save the Ferris Corporation had left him in a state of turmoil.
He couldn't stop thinking about her.
Carol.
But Hal then thought of Carl Ferris.
The person who caused his father's plane crash—yes, a mistake.
How could he continue living like that after something like that happened? Playing golf, going on vacation—how could he shirk responsibility?
Okay, Hal, focus on the present.
He said to Batman, "So do me a favor, and I'll talk to you guys after I've dealt with things in the universe—"
He said, "You represent the government, don't you?"
Yes and no.
Then he heard Batman say, "But instead of all that, shouldn't you be more concerned about what's happening above and around you?"
Hal suddenly turned his head.
They had just been blasted down from the sky by Sinestro. At this moment, he saw a portal that looked like a red desert opening on the ground not far away, and a dozen or so bat-cars or bat tanks painted yellow were rumbling out of it.
A large crocodile dressed in a red, yellow, and green Robin uniform raised its head from the ceiling of the Bat Tank, which had been painted a solid yellow.
"Batman! Perfect Robin reporting for duty!"
As he spoke, he snapped to attention and gave a proper salute.
Hal sighed.
"You wouldn't want to do that."
He warned, "Why are you always so stubborn? I'm a law enforcement officer, after all."
In the sky, two similar portals opened, and two yellow bat-shaped aircraft flew out unmanned. Sinestro melted all the steel on Hal's aircraft into a giant longsword, then grasped it with his green hand and cleaved the incoming missile in two with a single strike.
"Hurry up, rookie, this guy came prepared!"
Hal Jordan turned to Chen Tao: "Do you think you can defeat Green Lantern with just this?"
He extended his green light ring, and the green light transformed into countless green wisps of smoke, attempting to penetrate Chen Tao's nose.
"Get a good night's sleep and stop thinking about nonsense. I'll deal with you and the government later."
Chen Tao immediately turned his brain into a car computer.
"What the f***!"
Hal was startled to suddenly see a living person's head turn into a square computer screen, and even the green mist he had created rippled slightly.
"I already told you, look at the sky." Then he heard Chen Tao's voice: "Why won't you listen?"
"Huh, up there?" Hal Jordan looked up at the sky. Sinestro was fighting several yellow bat-shaped planes. If it weren't for the yellow coloration, these planes wouldn't last half a move against him. And now, the same was true. These flying objects were completely overwhelmed by the veteran Green Lantern, Sinestro.
Tick.
Hal Jordan frowned.
Huh, has my willpower really become this weak? Why is there a huge hole in the protective shield?
Tick.
Hal Jordan's eyes widened suddenly.
He had looked out through the green protective shield and noticed a slight color difference, which was why he hadn't seen it.
It's like a fucking yellow paint rain down outside!!!
"Ah, this..."
Before he could utter a single word, he saw Batman break free of his steel shackles, his entire body turning yellow in an instant.
"While looking at the sky, also watch your step."
Hal took a solid punch to the face, then saw Batman walk over with a yellow crowbar and a malicious smile on his face.
"What...what do you want to do?"
Hal Jordan turned around, facing the ground, and crawled frantically like Red Hood.
Chen Tao then climbed onto his back and raised the yellow crowbar high.
He knew that Green Lantern Hal Jordan was a notorious troublemaker in the league, and that force would be necessary to get him to talk properly.
Moreover, after establishing initial contact with Green Lantern Hal, he will immediately discuss matters related to Sinestro. If he doesn't leave a lasting impression on Hal, even if Hal agrees with him, he may not fully implement his ideas and thus fail to change history.
Moreover, Hal was very arrogant during this period. Amanda Waller had a similar idea to Chen Tao in this respect. He was very perceptive and saw through the arrogance in Hal's mind that he himself was unaware of after suddenly gaining power.
Of course, given Hal Jordan's innate heroic qualities, this arrogance won't turn him into a villain. Parallax is purely a surveillance robot, but that doesn't mean he's easy to talk to. He now completely places the Green Lantern Corps' laws above Earth and his home planet, an inevitable consequence of his first encounter with extraterrestrial life. Everyone has moments of arrogance; a good wake-up call will fix it.

Seaside city.
Hande Funeral Home.
The fifth morgue.
William Hand stood in front of a corpse, staring blankly at the stiff body, then pulled open the body bag.
He morbidly stroked the cold corpse with his hand, then a twisted smile appeared on his face... no, it was less a twisted smile and more a heartfelt joy, like gently caressing a dandelion swaying in the spring morning breeze.
They were so happy that it seemed almost neurotic.
"William!"
"Your father just finished cleaning this body!"
His mother pushed open the door, a helpless expression on her face.
"I...I didn't do anything, Mom, I swear!"
"How many times have we told you to stay away from basements?"
"I know, but I just want to see... to see..."
"Why, why can't you be a good Christian like your brothers?"
William Hand remained silent for a moment.
"I have no idea."
