The basent of Wayne Manor appeared old and dim, making the conversation between Schiller, Batman, and Sinestro feel more like a dieval interrogation.
Although Sinestro couldn't comprehend why he couldn't control the energy of the yellow light and found himself obeying the commands of the mysterious figure in the black suit before him, he had no idea why he couldn't summon the power of the yellow lantern battery. The only thing he knew for certain was that without the aid of his ring's energy, he had nowhere to escape.
"Can you tell about your origins? Or rather, how did you beco the leader of the Yellow Lantern Corps?"
Sinestro squinted his eyes, taken aback by Schiller's choice of the first question. He replied, "It seems you already possess so knowledge about the Lantern Corps, but as far as I know, there hasn't been much developnt of the Corps in the sector where Earth is located. Earth only has one Green Lantern, after all..."
"True, but we probably know more than you think."
"Such as?"
"You'd better answer my question first."
"If you won't tell what you know, what exactly do you want to reveal?"
"Don't deflect the topic. I know what you're contemplating. It's best not to think you can deceive us with stories about remote indigenous people or bring up notions of Lantern Corps supremacy. I simply want to know how the greatest Green Lantern beca a Yellow Lantern."
"It seems you truly know a great deal." Sinestro took a breath, seemingly unwilling to conceal the truth. He continued, "Because I discovered the vile conspiracy behind the Green Lantern Corps, or rather, behind all the Lantern Corps."
"Oh?" Schiller leaned forward, showing great interest, and asked, "And what is that?"
"You must be familiar with the origin of the Lanterns, right?" Sinestro sighed, then proceeded to narrate the tale of the origin of the power rings and the Lantern Corps.
It all began with one of the oldest and most advanced civilizations in the universe, now known as the Guardians of the Universe. However, comic readers often prefer to refer to them as the "little blue people."
This ancient advanced civilization in the universe reached its pinnacle, and with the idea of safeguarding the cosmos, they harnessed the emotional spectrum and created power rings, leading to the formation of the Lantern Corps.
"When I first joined the Green Lantern Corps, I believed the will of the Guardians of the Universe was unparalleled. They were a race with imnse wisdom and noble character, dedicated to protecting the universe."
"But one day, I was summoned by another great being. In the depths of the unknown, I heard her voice, and she revealed to a different story..."
"Those self-proclaid guardians of the universe were nothing more than a group of selfish, egotistical aliens. In reality, they never fulfilled their duty of protecting the universe..."
As Sinestro spoke, Schiller instinctively touched his forehead, locking eyes with Sinestro, and inquired, "So, you're saying soone inford you of the truth? Who was it?"
"I don't know, but he presented with evidence. At that ti, I was the most powerful Green Lantern, thus having access to the collective energy of the Green Lantern Corps. It was there that I discovered it—the entity known as Parallax."
"That voice told that it was the group of people who called themselves the Guardians of the Universe who put the Parallax monster into the total energy of the Green Lantern, making it a weak point of the Green Lantern, and they did it just to better control the Green Lantern Corps."
"Green Lantern has always been a tool for them to control the universe. Those so-called defenders of justice and peace in the universe are nothing but lies."
"So you betrayed the Green Lantern Corps?"
Sinestro sighed and said, "After I found out all this, I haven't made a decision yet because I know that the person who told this must also want to use to do sothing. He may not be nobler than the Guardians of the Universe."
"However, my act of investigating the total energy of the Green Lantern was discovered by the group of cosmic guardians. They have already beco suspicious of . I can't stay in the Green Lantern Corps any longer. So I found an opportunity to release Parallax and left the Green Lantern Corps with it."
"Did that voice contact you afterwards?"
Sinestro shook his head and said to Schiller, "I speculate that this person may have a grudge against the Guardians of the Universe, but I'm not sure because those blue-skinned Guardians of the Universe have a highly advanced civilization and a high level of life. Soone who can oppose them doesn't need to rely on to do anything..."
"Perhaps that person is temporarily unable to do anything..."
As Sinestro said this, Schiller already had so guesses in his mind because the biggest enemy and opponent of the Guardians of the Universe is the "First Lantern."
The conflict between these two sides must be traced back to the origin of the little blue people.
This race is indeed very advanced, but perhaps a little too advanced. Their thinking logic and way of doing things are simply incomprehensible to carbon-based life forms, and even for any intelligent creature, it may be too early.
If I have to comnt on the portrayal of this race in the comics, it would be: they basically fail in their endeavors, their thinking is chaotic, their decision-making is flawed, and the outco is usually rotten.
This group of blue-skinned aliens can be considered as troublemakers in the universe. They always make significant mistakes at the wrong ti and place, resulting in a ss. They make other creatures in the universe clean up after them. Simply put, they cause trouble, evade responsibility, run away, and shift bla.
The most notable behavior of theirs is shifting bla. This characteristic has been prevalent throughout the history of this race.
Initially, the little blue people had the idea of protecting the universe, which ans they had the idea of causing trouble. At that ti, the First Lantern from another universe arrived in this universe to save their destroyed holand and sought help from the emotional spectrum energy. After eting the little blue people, they ford an alliance and started researching the emotional spectrum.
Things went smoothly at the beginning, but as they continued their research, the little blue people discovered that the power of the emotional spectrum was incredibly strong!
So, what did they do?
They decided to eradicate their emotions.
In the logical thinking of carbon-based beings, these two should have no causal relationship, but this so-called advanced intelligent race thinks so and acts accordingly.
Then, during the experint, the little blue man discovered that after applying the power of the emotional spectrum to the first Lantern, the first Lantern beca incredibly powerful!
So they thought, let's eliminate the first Lantern too!
But the Lantern, as he is commonly known, was already very powerful, so the little blue man could only imprison him.
From the conflicts and grudges between the little blue man and the first Lantern, it can be seen that their evaluation is not unjust.
Realizing that the emotional spectrum is a very powerful force, the little blue man blad his own emotions and decided to eliminate them. He discovered that the first Lantern is an extrely powerful entity, so he shifted the bla onto the first Lantern and decided to eliminate him.
But, you may ask, can they really be so heartless and go to such extres? Unfortunately, their internal decision-making is also chaotic. So want to eliminate emotions, while others are unwilling. So want to harness the power of the emotional spectrum, while others fear its dangers.
In the end, they ca up with a compromise. They created the Green Lantern Corps and imprisoned an ancient creature representing fear within a green lantern, making fear the weakness of the Green Lantern. Lastly, they painted their entire ho yellow, thinking that this would prevent the Green Lantern from attacking them.
Anyway, for humans, this way of thinking may be sowhat difficult to comprehend.
According to what Sinestro said, the first Lantern contacted him, revealing the secrets of the little blue man and asking him to investigate the total energy of the green light. They then released the Parallax entity and established the Yellow Lantern Corps. However, this still doesn't explain why all of this happened ahead of ti.
The only change is that Schiller rembers that in the original story, the first Lantern didn't contact Sinestro. So what exactly is happening with the first Lantern? Is he about to escape? Or has he already escaped? If it's the latter, then it could be dangerous.
The first Lantern is an incredibly powerful entity, capable of almost rebooting the universe in the comics. When he contacted Sinestro, it ant that he had so plans in mind.
Schiller's thoughts wandered far because there have been several unexpected events recently. Firstly, he never thought the Joker could exist in this universe, yet he discovered an unhatched Joker egg in the depths of Bruce's dream. This is unusual.
Secondly, the first Lantern took action ahead of schedule, creating the Yellow Lantern Corps. This may imply that the conflict between him and the little blue man will erupt sooner than expected.
Could these two anomalies be related?
Schiller contemplated this extensively, but he didn't share any of it with Batman. Otherwise, Batman would lose sleep for the entire year.
Currently, Batman, who hasn't even left Novice Village, doesn't possess the ability to participate in major universal events. However, these consecutive changes can bring crises that surpass Batman's capacity to handle at any mont. This could lead the entire universe towards danger.
To prevent such a situation from occurring, a plan gradually ford in Schiller's mind.
After Schiller and Batman erged from the basent of Wayne Manor, he said to Batman, "You better co up with a secure asure to lock this guy away. We might need it in the future."
"Also..." Schiller took out a keychain from his coat pocket. In addition to a series of keys, it had a string of rings attached to it.
He unlocked the keychain and took the rings off it, handing them to Batman. He said, "These are the light rings that were attracted to before. The energy from the rings has all been transferred into the dream, so the remaining physical forms can no longer return to the Legion. You can try to see if you can decipher the secrets within them..."
Batman stared at the pile of rings in his hand with his usual suspicion. Today's conversation with Sinestro had made him realize the vastness and danger of the outer universe beyond Earth.
"Are you feeling nervous? Planning to intensify your training regin? Actually, I have a better idea..."
Batman turned to look at Schiller, but Schiller didn't continue. Instead, he turned his head away.
"Batman..." Schiller's voice lowered, reminiscent of their first encounter in the alley. He said,
"...have a pleasant dream."
