Chapter 204: Gotham’s Terror—A Batman Without Limits!

DCEU World!

On Oa, countless Green Lanterns stared in shock!

He had already been recognized by the Emotional Spectrum!?

Just how powerful was the will inside this boy named Bruce!?

But in the next second, everyone's expression changed!

Bruce did not understand why that voice had judged him worthy!

He had not overcome fear at all.

He had removed it entirely!

But none of that mattered. Without hesitation, he placed the ring on his finger!

In an instant, a fluorescent green uniform flowed across the boy's body like liquid.

In this future, Bruce would never become Batman.

He became a Green Lantern!

At that moment, he ignored all the other information transmitted by the ring. His eyes were fixed solely on the robber who had murdered his parents!

In the next second, green light streaked through the darkness. Bruce searched one alley after another before finding his enemy happily counting the stolen money!

He descended from the sky!

This time, he was no longer powerless.

He would make the man repay his blood debt with blood!

Facing the terrified robber, Bruce raised his hand and commanded the Green Lantern ring without hesitation:

"Kill him!"

However, the Green Lantern ring refused!

According to the Corps' First Law, lethal force was forbidden!

At that moment, even Sinestro, who had already begun contemplating betrayal, could not understand!

How could someone like this have been chosen by a Green Lantern ring!?

It was simply unbelievable!

Even so, a Green Lantern was still a Green Lantern.

It was impossible for the ring to kill someone!

The boy was destined to be disappointed!

However, after hearing the ring's mechanical refusal, the killing intent inside Bruce grew even stronger!

Green Lantern energy erupted from his eyes like thunder!

Bruce's willpower began increasing abnormally. In the blink of an eye, it surpassed the limits of humanity, rising from one hundred percent to one hundred and seventeen percent!

He stared at the robber, who had collapsed helplessly onto the ground in terror, and roared furiously:

"He deserves nothing but death!"

Under the force of that overwhelming rage, his willpower underwent another terrifying transformation, instantly surging from one hundred and seventeen percent to one hundred and eighty-one percent!

"Impossible!"

At that moment, every Green Lantern, Sinestro, and even the Guardians who secretly controlled the Corps widened their eyes and shouted in disbelief!

This was not something a human being should have been capable of!

Nothing like it had ever occurred throughout history!

But in the next second, something even more astonishing happened!

Amid Bruce's furious roar, the Green Lantern ring that had previously refused his order suddenly released a vast amount of energy!

It manifested a horrifying creature with no flesh, its entire body composed of long, slender bones!

The ring obeyed Bruce's command!

The monster opened its hideous jaws and bit down on the robber!

A heart-wrenching scream immediately rang out. The man's face twisted as his entire body rapidly melted like wax thrown into a fire!

Within only a few seconds, not even ashes remained!

The alley fell into darkness once again!

The young Bruce calmly stared at the dimmed Green Lantern ring in his hand.

At that moment, he understood that it was one of the most powerful weapons in the universe.

And now, it belonged to him!!

Inside the House of Mystery!

The image of that Green Lantern monster remained in Constantine's mind, sending waves of horror through his heart!

The creature had felt even more terrifying than a demon!

No matter how he looked at it, that was absolutely not something a Green Lantern should have been capable of creating!

He stared uneasily at the cruel-faced child on the screen and could not help cursing:

"Bloody hell!"

"What fucking version of Batman is this? Why have I never heard of him!?"

"I hope I never meet him for the rest of my life!"

"Pah! Pah! Pah!"

"Damn it, Trigon protect me—no, make absolutely sure I never encounter him!!"

Bruce became a Green Lantern, but what he did next was something no other Green Lantern had ever attempted!

He returned to the alley behind the theater and stood before the bodies of his parents!

In the next second, under the illumination of the Green Lantern's light, Thomas and Martha Wayne, who were already dead, stood up once again!

But their souls had long since departed.

Only their bodies remained, with pale eyes and purple faces, resembling terrifying corpses!

Bruce completely broke down at the sight!

He immediately withdrew the energy, causing the bodies to collapse back into the pools of blood. Then he roared and shot into the sky!

At that moment, he swore within his heart that he would sacrifice anything to ensure he was never alone again!

Countless viewers sucked in cold breaths!

What kind of horrifying existence would be born from obsession supported by such overwhelming willpower!?

Time continued to pass.

Over the following years, Bruce constantly used the Green Lantern's power to fight criminals.

The people of Gotham came to call him the Dawnbreaker!

Just like Batman in other worlds, he cooperated with Commissioner Gordon of the Gotham City Police Department.

However, their relationship was extremely poor!

The Dawnbreaker did not respond every time Gordon called for his assistance.

And whenever Gordon mocked him sarcastically, Bruce would bluntly warn that if he heard such words on a bad day, Gordon would never be given another opportunity to speak.

His voice was filled with coldness and killing intent!

Gotham.

Commissioner Gordon's heart skipped several beats.

Although this was a different universe, he felt that he should probably be more polite to Batman from now on.

It was not because he was afraid.

He simply believed people should treat one another with greater kindness.

It was another rainy night.

As usual, Gordon handed a mission to the Dawnbreaker.

This time, the criminal was the Scarecrow!

Before long, Bruce easily located him inside a sewer!

He stood silently within the green mist, allowing the ridiculous fear toxin to enter his lungs.

Even without the Green Lantern ring, the gas would have been completely ineffective against him!

He possessed no fear!

Looking at the dozen corpses nearby, each face twisted in terror, Bruce once again questioned himself:

Why did someone like this deserve to live?

Why was he allowed to breathe?

Why couldn't my parents!?

Why!?

Why!?

In the next second, an enormous green arm manifested and crushed the miniature rocket fired by the Scarecrow.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, Bruce snapped his neck!

Crack!

The crisp sound struck the ears of Gotham's countless villains like a thunderclap!

At that moment, their faces turned deathly pale and their eyes filled with terror.

They finally understood just how frightening a Batman without a no-killing rule could be!

And how laughable they themselves truly were!

Again and again, they escaped from Arkham!

Again and again, they committed crimes and mocked Batman!

Yet every incident might have worn away another small part of his restraint!

Who knew when the Bruce Wayne of their own world might become exactly like this!?

They had been courting death all along!!!
