Chapter 457 People, You Must Rely On Yourself
The so-called "flashpoint" is ————
To be honest, Joey didn't want to recall that word anymore; almost half of all the bad luck in his life was caused by those two words.
Noticing Superman's displeasure, Sinestro was even more certain that his source was indeed reliable: "You know, right? Because of a man named Barry Allen, the history of all of us has been altered."
"The issue isn't whether I know it or not, but how you know it?"
It's normal for Joey, as a complete outsider, to know about Flashpoint and Barry Allen, but how does Sinestro in this Flashpoint universe know about it?
"When I was dealing with the aftermath of sector 666, I received a prophecy."
Now that things have come to this, Sinestro makes no attempt to hide anything: "The prophecy says that someone has altered the past, causing our world to be turned upside down."
Sector 666 —
prophecy----
Once these two things were linked, the only person Joey could think of who would use the "blood prophecy" was: "Athocitas?"
"You know him?"
「；
Sinestro's eyes grew even more urgent. This Superman had stirred in him emotions no less intensely than when he first learned of the prophecy: "Logically, no one else should know about this except for me and the Guardians!"
Atositas and his four allies who opposed the Guardians of the Oa universe were all orchestrated by Senesto, a matter so sensitive that it was never revealed to outsiders.
Just as Superman knows that Sinestro shouldn't know what "Flashpoint" is, Sinestro also knows that Superman shouldn't be able to say that name out of thin air.
Even the name Atositas might not be distinctive enough. In Joey's memory, perhaps a more well-known title should be given to him: "Red Lantern Demon".
A green light is the light of will, a yellow light is the source of fear, and a red light is the fire of anger.
Yes, like Seneca, Atochitas is also a master of another color on the spectrum of emotions.
Long ago, long before the Green Lantern Corps was even formally formed.
Atos was originally an ordinary resident of Sector 666, with a wife, children, and elderly parents, living a happy and peaceful life.
The Guardians of the Universe of that era had begun to govern the entire universe according to their will, and the tools they used were not Green Lanterns, but emotionless robots called "Mechanical Hunters".
However, a procedural error led the mechanical hunters to mistakenly believe that all sentient beings were a threat to Yu Shen and should be eliminated immediately.
This massive mechanical army, created by the Guardians, went out of control and began a horrific massacre, starting with sector 666.
By the time the Green Lantern Corps entered sector 666 to clean up the mess, it was already too late.
Almost all life in the sector had been slaughtered, with only five survivors.
One of them was Atochitas.
Witnessing his wife, his daughters, his family, and everything on his home planet burned to ashes by the mechanical hunters, one can only imagine the rage in his heart.
An inextinguishable flame of revenge ignited in his heart. He joined forces with the other four survivors of Sector 666 to oppose the Guardians' control over the universe. In the end, they were suppressed by the Guardians on Ismot.
At this moment, Atositas's anger finally reached its breaking point, and the first Red Lantern Demon in history was born.
As for the fact that Atositas's blood prophecy later accurately foretold the existence of the "Darkest Night," that's another story.
However, this is the story Joey knew; Sinestro's version is quite different—
The first half of the story unfolded much as Joey knew, and Athocitas was indeed suppressed on Ismot.
But there was no red light, nor any prophecy of the darkest night; there was only a flashpoint, and a man known as Barry Allen changed history and transformed the universe.
Where is Barry Allen?
This is the question Sinestro most wants to know: "I need to find him!"
Sinestro learned many things from Atositas, including but not limited to the death of Abin Sue in the original timeline, the birth of Hal Jordan, the greatest Green Lantern, and the fact that his wife was still dead.
But he still didn't listen to any of it.
The only thing he remembered was that a man named Barry Allen changed history.
"Changed history" is the key point.
So he needs Barry Allen.
Now that he's come to Earth, he doesn't care what those little blue guys in Oa are up to. Rather than blindly following the Guardians' orders and dying for no reason, he'd rather make the most of his time.
If Barry Allen can change history, why can't he create a world where Sinestro's wife is still alive?
"Barry Allen————"
Joey hadn't heard that name in almost a year.
Seneca's question immediately made Joey realize that he did know something, but that was all.
There are also differences between different flash points.
"Things aren't as simple as you think."
Sinestro wanted to say something more, but Joey impatiently interrupted him: "You're tired, take a rest."
Sinestro, seeing how abruptly Superman's attitude changed, didn't say much. After all, in his view, such a major matter concerning the entire universe should indeed be discussed in a more private setting by him and Superman.
After seeing Seneca off, Joey couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh.
Well, here comes another lunatic.
Joey had already seen the same mindset as Sinestro before with the old bat, Thomas Wayne.
The reason why old Thomas, whom Joey hated so much, was willing to follow Barry Allen, who seemed like a lunatic, and even went so far as to soak the Flash's body in the Lazarus Pool after his death, was that he wanted his son Bruce Wayne to come back?
While it's true that the final blunder did bring about Bruce Wayne, the whole ordeal involving Barbatos, the bat god, Superman from another world, and the Helm of Destiny almost cost Joey his life!
Seneca, right? We need to keep a close eye on him too.
The other party actually naively believed that Barry Allen could change everything, and Joey didn't know what to say to make him give up his illusions.
Where is Barry Allen?
A more common way to put it would be that they went to heaven, or more bluntly, they were struck by lightning and then soaked in the Lhasa River, leaving no trace of their remains.
Sinestro didn't understand that this wasn't the Flashpoint he or Joey knew; in this universe, The Flash, Barry Allen, was already dead.
The survival of the entire universe rests solely on Superman Joey's own shoulders.
