Chapter 406 Sinestro is showing off
"Your wife is in my hands now. If you want her to live, you'd better obey me!"
"...You should join us in fighting Batman blah blah blah blah..."
"Ah...yes, yes, yes."
"If you don't do this, I'll blablablablablablablabla... and then you'll blablablablablablabla..."
"Hmm... Eek."
"Are you even listening to me? Once we've dealt with Batman, we'll have our final showdown, blah blah blah blah..."
"Okay. You go first."
"You make the first move, or I'll...blah blah blah..."
After Sinestro repeatedly chose to skip the plot, Mongo finally lost his patience:
He personally snatched Sinestro's wife, Arlins, from the mechanical superman, and then held a blade to his neck:
"Obey my command."
Sinestro knew he had lost his patience. He had been deliberately wearing down Mongo's patience, and now that patience had finally run out.
He saw that his wife didn't say a word; she had her eyes closed and her head held high with pride.
Chen Tao squatted down beside him: "That mud-faced guy is actually quite convincing as an actor."
Since neither he nor Mudface knew what Arlins would say after discovering she had been captured, they planned for Mudface, who was playing Arlins, to be mute.
Sinestro did not speak.
He knew very well that the final moment had arrived.
If he refuses Mongo's demands again, the other party will actually hurt Arlinsu to teach him a lesson, and Arlinsu...
In this state, they will be chosen by the Green Lantern Ring.
After the Yellow Lantern Corps has completely replaced the Green Lantern Corps and everything has settled down, she will become the only Green Lantern member she allows to escape. She will stick to her beliefs until the day when the entire sector is under the protection of the Yellow Lantern Corps and there are no more criminals or evil, and then they will reunite at that moment.
Senesto did not consider the possibility that Arlins would not be able to gain the Green Light Ring's approval.
He just waited.
He raised his head.
He knew that Mongo had decided to take action.
"I understand. I never expected this," he heard the cosmic tyrant say. "I never imagined you would be so determined to give her up."
Senesto looked into Arlins' eyes... but she didn't meet his gaze, which disappointed Senesto somewhat, but he quickly calmed down.
"What a cold-blooded man... You're not even going to ask me how I killed those Yellow Lanterns guarding your wife's door?"
Mongo said this, but he was always met with only Senesto's silence.
Receiving no response, Mongo, who had just been lying on the ground but whose face was now increasingly showing monstrous features, finally felt a chill run down his spine. He finally realized that Seneca was waiting, waiting for him to kill his wife.
Yet his expression was so calm, as if the impending death upon his wife did not exist at all.
"You don't care about your wife at all; she'll hate you to death." Mongo was still making a last-ditch effort; he had already realized that Senesto didn't care about anything.
"We've been on different paths for a long time."
Senesto said.
His expression was somewhat solemn and lonely. He lowered his head and said, "But do you know what the truth is? The truth is, it's always better to walk in the dark with your loved one than to walk alone in the light."
"But if we can no longer be lovers, then I'm afraid we can only be bound together by hatred."
"There's nothing we can do about it; you can't build your life on the illusions of childhood."
"so."
He said, "Don't you think my wife is my weakness? Today is the day I cut off that weakness. Emotions are a gift from our ancestors, but cruelty... is what I've given myself."
Senesto didn't know how Arlene Sue would view his words, but he knew that for the rest of her life, his wife would have a goal to strive for, a goal to overcome.
That's enough; that's the significance of what he did.
Mengo, listening from the side, was completely numb.
He could understand each word Seneca said individually, but he couldn't understand them when they were put together.
He felt that his efforts to bring Arlin Sue here were utterly foolish.
Sinestro, that cold-blooded monster, has no leverage over his wife; nothing in this world can threaten him.
Disappointment crossed Mengo's already decaying face. He raised his knife and then plunged it into Arlinsu.
Sinestro was waiting, waiting for that green light.
But there was nothing there. Before Seneca could scream and rush to grab Mudface, whose neck had been pierced, Chen Tao hurriedly released Killer Crocodile and Arlin Su, whom he was holding hostage, from the Crimson of All Beings.
After waiting for orders for a long time in the Red Realm, the Killer Croc, who had been impatient for it, finally got its chance to make its appearance.
He happily placed Arlin Sue on the edge of a knife, and then uttered the hostage-kidnapping line he had been rehearsing for a long time:
"Your wife is in my hands now. If you want her to live, you'd better obey me!"
"..."
"..."
I feel like I've heard this quote somewhere before.
Sinestro glanced at Mudface, whose neck was pierced and who had an expression that said "I'm done for," his wife who had a wife-like expression, and the large green lizard next to him.
"Cough cough cough..."
Chen Tao paused for a moment, then casually began to spout nonsense:
"That's right, the wife Mongo found is female, and the wife I found is male. When you, the male, met her husband, the magic stopped working."
Arlins: "? I remember I'm a female."
"Shut up!" Chen Tao snapped at her. "Be a good hostage."
"Oh, okay." Arlin Su was startled by his merciless scolding, so she hurriedly returned to Killer Croc's blade, even bringing the blade closer to her neck.
Arlene Sue hadn't been ordered around or scolded like this in many years, not even by her own husband. This feeling was strangely similar to that of Abin Sue, as if he had never left, still serving as a guiding light for everyone.
"How...how did you get Arlin Su here...?"
Sinestro, on the other hand, was somewhat bewildered.
His original plan, which was to awaken his wife to his opposition and make her Green Lantern, was ruined before it was even finished!
Sinestro reacted quickly, immediately realizing who was behind it. He turned to Batman, giving him a "you've done this" look.
But while he was blaming Batman, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief somewhere deep inside.
Although the other party had been keeping it a secret from him for a long time, using mud to cover up his wife's true identity, he was finally free from having to give his wife a green light ring, which was perhaps good news for him, if we can call it that.
And Chen Tao...
Chen Tao sensed that something was amiss.
Everything was going a little too smoothly.
"So you're sure that the Arlene Sue in the Crimson Realm just now was the real Arlene Sue, right?"
"That's right, Boss Bat."
He pressed the communicator button and heard Killer Croc's deliberately lowered voice: "Is something wrong?"
"No, I'll message you if needed."
He said this to the other person, then paused for a moment, slightly stunned.
This uneasy feeling grew stronger and stronger in Chen Tao's heart, then pounded like a drum.
However, he composed himself.
Now he could confirm that the Arlins he was protecting was indeed Arlins herself, so there was no problem. Mudface had already attached itself to Arlins when Hal Jordan visited Sinestro's home planet, so there was no possibility of a switch.
As long as Arlin Sue's safety is ensured, Seneto will become an indestructible man, and Chen Tao has full confidence in Seneto on this point.
He knows that the world he lives in is a comic book, so at this moment the comments in the comic book must be full of rhetorical questions like "Are you full of confidence again?"
After all, given his previous predictions about other members of the Justice League, especially a certain one, those whom Chen Tao felt confident in often ended up in bad situations; Superman is still frequently in the hospital.
Even so, Chen Tao's confidence in Seneca was not without reason.
Just as Luthor never disappointed Chen Tao, the villains in this universe, with their extraordinary skills and strength, always gave him many surprises that far exceeded what superheroes could give him.
But even so...
Chen Tao thought to himself.
Even so, even though he had confidence in Seneca's actions, he always felt he should be prepared for such vigilance.
And in fact, that's exactly what he did.
So, without prior arrangement, he and Sinestro took similar actions against the mechanical superhero. He saw Sinestro take out the same Kryptonite that he had prepared from the space opened in his ring. That Kryptonite could suppress the side of the mechanical superhero's body that belonged to Kryptonians. Then came a large number of weapons aimed at the other half of his body.
Chen Tao felt somewhat gratified by their simultaneous act of pulling out their items. Even though Sinestro had only been on Earth for a short time, he had already learned to prepare to fight against his teammates even in those times.
This is a quality that transcends ordinary people, and it is precisely what the other members of the Justice League lack.
Chen Tao became more and more satisfied the more he looked at it.
"You go first," he said to Seneca.
He politely passed the opponent, the mechanical superhero, to Sinestro, and then stopped Mongo:
"I think your opponent is me."
