Chapter 273: Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng (1) "So, what's going on now? You said you came into my dream and brought me here? But if I may be frank, this is a bit... hard to understand." In the Gotham night sky, on top of a certain building, Gordon in a trench coat lifted the hem of his coat to the back, then crossed his arms and looked at the glowing figure in green. He said, "I don't think he's a local from Gotham, is he?" Hal landed on the ground and asked Gordon, hugging his arms, "How do you know?" "Do you realize you look like a Green Lantern now?" "I am Green Lantern, to begin with. I am the Green Lantern." "I mean the kind of green light from traffic lights. If you were a local, you wouldn't be floating in mid-air with green light all over you because we all know that the traffic lights at Central Roundabout get shot at thousands of times every day..." Schiller interrupted the conversation between Gordon and Hal, saying, "The cause of the situation is as I mentioned before, and now, I have to figure out how to solve it." Gordon took a deep breath, observing the colossal monster wreaking havoc in the city. He said, "Thank goodness, this isn't the real Gotham." "If we don't stop it, one day it will enter the real world. I brought you here to prepare for eliminating this monster." "Tell me, no matter what your plan is, I will cooperate. This is for Gotham, and for Batman." Gordon's tone was resolute, "Regardless, this peculiar vigilante in a tight suit has saved the police of Gotham several times. If he's in danger now, then I believe I should go save him." "I will discuss this with you privately because I must teach you how to fight in the dream realm, Sheriff Gordon." "Hold on!" Hal interrupted Schiller, saying, "Even if this is a dream, we can't just chat here, right? What if that yellow lantern beast really enters the real world? It will cause massive destruction!" Just then, the three individuals standing on the rooftop felt a slight tremor on the ground. The monstrous creature, both terrifying in its size and appearance, let out a roar. A massive wave of darkness surged from the horizon, instantaneously flooding the city, submerging the entire Gotham. "It seems like it was provoked by something," Hal squinted his eyes as he hovered in mid-air. "Do you really think that the few things I mentioned, once combined, will be united? Never mind the yellow lantern beast and the yellow lantern ring, even if I talked about the laughing egg and the owner of this body, Batman, they are sworn enemies." "This monster is merely a temporary product of compromise. At this moment, chaos is likely consuming its body." At that moment, Schiller also gazed towards the sky, stating, "It seems like the other friends I invited have arrived." A distinct "gudong" sound echoed in the ears of the three, yet they didn't see anything falling into the water. Then, a soft "swish" sound followed, and in an instant, a gigantic penguin leaped out of the sea, using its sharp beak to sever a section of the monster's tail. Hal widened his eyes and exclaimed, "A penguin? Why a penguin?" "It appears you aren't familiar with this bird species," Schiller explained. "Perhaps the penguins you've seen on land waddle and are incredibly clumsy, but in reality, these avians are very fast underwater, agile in their movements, and skilled hunters." As soon as he finished speaking, the gigantic penguin, several times larger than an ordinary penguin, dove back beneath the water, evading the claw attack of the Laughing Demon. Shortly after, it leaped out of the water from the right side, which was out of its line of sight, and fiercely bit into his rib. The Laughing Demon let out a cry of pain, but when he turned to continue his attack on the penguin, he found that it had disappeared once again. "...Who was that?" Gordon asked. "That's Copperpot, Sheriff. I was just about to tell you about this part," replied Schiller. On the battlefield, the wind and snow grew more intense. After each snowflake fell from the sky, it rapidly spun, surrounded by a blade-like air current, before elegantly slicing through the Laughing Demon's body, leaving a wound on its arm in an instant. Countless snowflakes of this kind descended, attacking the monster from various angles, followed by floating ice crystals. The ice crystals first arranged themselves in mid-air, resembling soldiers in formation, then shot towards the monster like bullets. Upon contact with the monster's skin, each ice crystal produced a large patch of freezing blue substance, impeding the Laughing Demon's movements. "I don't quite understand," Hal said. "This is a dream. How could you be injured in a dream? If, according to what you said earlier, the attacks in the dream are all imaginary, then couldn't this monster simply imagine that it won't be harmed?" "That might be true in your own dream. When you realize you're dreaming, you can give yourself wings or conjure a gun. However, this is a shared dream..." "In this kind of dream, any attack and defense is a test of willpower. If your willpower surpasses your opponent's, you can effectively damage them. On the other hand, you may be defended against. That's how it works." "Okay, I think I understand..." Hal flexed his wrist, and the green light on his body grew brighter and brighter. Clearly, the energy of the Green Lantern was abundant, and the sluggish and dark feeling disappeared. Instead, due to Hal's powerful willpower, the Green Lantern energy grew stronger and stronger, and his strength continued to increase. "Before we proceed, we have one more friend who will take the lead." After Schiller finished speaking, he looked towards the sky again. At that moment, a sharp cry echoed, and a figure with wings appeared overhead the Laughing Demon. The sharp claws slashed across the monster's shoulder, leaving deep wounds. It was a monster resembling an owl, with wings on its back and claw-like hands. Its body was covered in countless feathers. Accompanied by a piercing screech, numerous feathers materialized behind him and swiftly shot towards the Laughing Demon, creating a shower of blood on its back. "I don't particularly enjoy using this form," came Alberto's cold voice. He continued, "But I have to admit, the claws and feathers of birds are the best weapons." "Who is this?" "You should be familiar with this one, yet you don't recognize him. However, that doesn't matter. Sheriff Gordon, I believe you now understand the rules here. Now, you can go and demonstrate your abilities." Hal finished his warm-up routine, while Gordon, although still adjusting, didn't hesitate and headed straight to the battlefield. Before leaving, Hal looked at Schiller, who stood motionless, and asked, "If we're going to deal with this monster, what about you?" "Do you really think that by simply trading blows, you can completely eliminate this monster?" "In that case, what do you plan to do?" Schiller suddenly changed the topic, saying, "Currently, you are the only Lantern on Earth, right?" "Uh, if we don't count the Yellow Lantern monster, then yes, I'm the only one." "Alright," replied Schiller. Hal looked suspiciously at Schiller's departing figure and suddenly had a sense of unease. [Read /shanefreak, without ads and support the work.]
