"Once I recover... is anyone interested in getting a fortune telling?"
Tony looked around at the two unlucky guys in the room. One had just woken up from a coma, and the other had been smashed into the steel ceiling, leaving a huge crater.
Suddenly, he realized they might really be having a run of bad luck. There was originally only one sick person in the room, but now there were three injured people. He immediately switched to "Hu mode":
"I heard from Pepper that there's a particularly powerful temple in Chinatown, and the Taoist priest there is a very strong medium who can change our chakras and improve our luck—"
"......"
Joey and Batman both stared at Iron Man, who was rambling on and on, with a look of utter despair.
Joey was born there, while Batman traveled the world in his youth, learning all the martial arts and killing techniques in the East. He might even know more about these things than Joey, the original.
These two people probably couldn't figure out how the words temple, Taoist priest, medium, chakra, and luck could be intertwined.
Forget about luck, Joey is almost driven crazy by Tony.
"Fine, let him be." After exchanging a glance, Joey and Bruce both chose to remain silent.
Anyway, Tony is a rich guy who doesn't lack money, so he can consider being scammed a little as a form of charity.
"Ha, fine, don't go then."
The two men's refusal was practically written all over their faces, and Tony, of course, wasn't going to make a fool of himself. Besides, he wasn't exactly a fanatic about the occult, so he figured it was better to get down to business than to engage in such nonsense.
"Does anyone want to go to Hollywood?"
Joey and Bruce ultimately declined Tony's invitation.
After all, he and Bruce Wayne of Gotham are both known as upright gentlemen.
Wow, it's huge!
"It can get even bigger."
This is a conversation between the two people about the green thing in front of them.
Batman didn't teleport here alone; he brought a large object with him.
A round lamp, about three or four people tall, with a jade-green light emanating from its entire body.
This thing directly crushed the first floor of the living room, collapsed the underground garage, and the falling construction debris destroyed dozens of luxury cars that didn't look cheap.
Not only Stark Tower in Manhattan, but now Tony has also lost his mansion on Long Island.
This luxurious seaside villa is now reduced to nothing more than an empty exterior; the interior structure has been completely destroyed.
What's even more upsetting than the chaotic accident scene is that the victim's family members were also present.
"So, you're Joey, Tony's friend?"
With Stark Tower destroyed, Pepper Potts has nowhere to go but back here.
Fortunately, the elevator system was working properly; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to enter the living room and witness this unprecedented and massive destruction.
"Was this place just bombed by someone?"
Even though Pepper didn't show any sign of blaming him, Batman almost reflexively uttered the line he'd said countless times: "I'll make it up to you!"
"You'll pay compensation my ass!" Joey rolled his eyes at lightning speed.
Batman has developed such muscle memory from losing money that he doesn't even consider whether Franklin from another universe would still work in this one.
Even if it's universal, unless Bruce immediately goes to assassinate Thomas, that old bat Deng, and inherits his legacy, Bruce Wayne in the Flashpoint universe will still be a penniless pauper!
"I don't really understand how you measure the value of things like 'saving the world,' especially since I'm just a butler."
Pepper walked along the not-yet-completely-collapsed living room wall, felt her way to the refrigerator, took a bottle of champagne, and said goodbye to the two of them.
"I still have to deliver some wine to the big boss. You can do as you please."
"Why did you bring this thing here?!"
After watching Pepper leave, Joey began loudly plotting with Batman: "Don't tell me you're planning to form the Green Lantern Corps here!"
"Obviously."
Besides the Amorod core, Batman has found a new way to expand his army:
"Emotional spectrum against emotional spectrum, and those Kryptonians, this is far more stable than the Amorod core."
This isn't the first time Cyborg has acted impulsively. In just a few minutes, while Batman was away, he made up his mind to throw the dangerous Amozzo Core into another universe!
If such technology falls into the hands of malicious individuals, even with countermeasures, it could bring an unprecedented catastrophe to the entire universe.
"Obviously obvious, my foot!"
Putting aside the possibility that this technology from the Guardians might contain backdoors that could be easily shut down by those little blue men on the battlefield,
Just talking about how to solve the user's problems?
Normally, within a universe of 3600 sectors, the Green Lantern Legion at full strength consists of only about 7,000 people, averaging two per sector.
While the Guardians deliberately suppressed the number of people in the Green Lantern Clan to prevent things from getting out of control, the more important reason lies in the limitations of the Green Lantern Ring itself.
As a powerful weapon carrying the spectrum of willpower, those who are suitable for it are indeed few and far between.
"Let's not talk about the backdoor yet."
Thinking about it carefully, someone like Batman wouldn't tolerate a weapon he possessed having a backdoor from someone else. Joey skipped over that question and went straight to the most crucial point:
"Without Planet Mogo, how are we going to recruit suitable users for the Lamp Ring?"
He never imagined that one day he would share the same problem as the little blue guys—the fear of losing control of the green light ring.
After all, the Green Lantern Ring is a weapon that has been greatly underestimated, and the title of "the most powerful weapon in the universe" is by no means unfounded.
Two green light rings, in the right hands, are enough to suppress deadly conflicts arising from thousands of civilizations across an entire sector.
In the wrong hands, it either becomes completely insignificant or a catastrophic disaster.
To be honest, it's not as good as Amozo. At least once the mass production difficulties of Amozo robots are solved, it can be easily expanded with just an assembly line.
This problem stumped Batman as well: "We have plenty of time; we'll figure something out eventually."
That's what they say, but a year is only enough time for Batman to recruit two Robins.
To think that a new Green Lantern Corps strong enough to fight against the Guardians and the Kryptonian fleet is nothing short of a pipe dream.
"Aha! I have an idea!"
In a flash of inspiration, Joey clapped his hands, and a fresh suggestion was born:
"What do you think about opening a 'Green Light Hero Company' and posting job openings so that potential qualified candidates can submit their resumes for interviews?"
"Be serious." Joey's rambling, influenced by Tony, successfully elicited another expression of utter disapproval from Batman.
"Your idea is the second most outrageous one I've heard today."
"Then what do you suggest?"
Before Joey could finish his ridiculous idea of forming the Green Lantern Corps and give Batman a few more hard questions, he noticed that Batman had already keenly looked up at the ceiling.
The two, whose conversation had been interrupted, turned their attention to Spider-Man, who was clinging to the ceiling, and the scene fell silent for a moment.
"Um..." Under such silent scrutiny, it was finally the Spider-Man who had suddenly barged in who couldn't hold on any longer. In his extreme tension, even his tongue started to twitch:
"Have I disturbed you, sir? Perhaps... I... I have indeed come at the wrong time."
He was just in Mr. Stark's lab to pick up some stretchable materials that the disaster victims in the city could use. Why did he run into Superman and that guy dressed in all black who didn't look like a good person, plotting something amazing?
With all this talk of military expansion, backdoors, fleets, and weapons, could I have stumbled upon some earth-shattering conspiracy by aliens disguised as humans to invade Earth?
Oh no, I'm definitely going to be killed to silence me!
Spider-Man's inner monologue was so intense that he was sweating profusely, which gave Joey another idea.
Wait a minute—Spider-Man?
After a super vision scan, Joey recognized that this Spider-Man was Peter Parker, a native of this universe, whose mutated cells had not even fully transformed.
But it doesn't matter which Spider-Man or Peter Parker comes right now, because Joey seems to have figured out the ultimate solution to the question he used to stump Batman earlier. He smiled and looked at the lost-in-thought Parker:
"No, you've come at the perfect time!"
