    The joy of actually liking party members.

    Ah, he's in full 'Red Hood'-stage anti-hero mode now.

    Well, they kind of did. It was just a cache of living weapons.

    Fascinating variation, really. If I remember right, there was a problem with license rights involved...

    You never do think things through, do you, guys?

    So, same special ops history as his Deathstroke counterpart, minus the super-soldier program, eh?

    Maybe you should have listened...

    "What does it take to get it through your thick skull...

    "Going home would be a bonus at this point!"

    Got sick of debating with him, eh?

    Do be sure to tell her about all this when you get home.

    "That would depend. What is Plan Q?"

    Welp... looks like the Syndicate pissed off a lot of people...

    Somehow, I don't think this'll work out well...

    Dammit, Eris, can't you wait five minutes?!

    Let's hope it's just some roughhousing amongst drunk guests...

    Wait, would this-

    *ahem* Hold on, no, gotta ask it in Zoat-speak.


    Does the SI know if this would work? Summoning the Ophidian through dimensions? Or is the SI just planning to make friends with this dimension's Ophidian?

    I mean... You could try... But unless Zoat rewrites the rules again the most that's likely to get you is Larfleeze the kind and benevolent coming down on your ass.


    JLAU Batman is supposed to be a master of mystic kung-fu ninja bullshit.

    Isn't the Ophidian tied to Paul's soul? I would think the soul could ignore such piddling details as alternate realities.

    Miiight not be a good idea though. What happens with two Ophidians in one universe?

    Congratulations, you have discovered that this is a fictional story. While most fictional stories have exactly 100% of their content imagined and written by the author, this fictional story has a lower percentage, owing to numerous references to other fictional works.

    I hope that you are not alarmed by the fact that Zoat has not re-written all of the rules, as is the case in a normal work of fiction. Thank you for reading With This Ring, and come again tomorrow for the next chapter.

    They aren't supposed to be able to move between realities.

    There would be an almost immediate fight to the death in the orange place because Avarice can't abide sharing.

    What's worse would be what happens to the universe now missing it's embodiment. Because we know exactly what happens in such cases, and it's hella bad for sentient life.



    Maybe, it's been awhile since I watched the Animated Series.

    But this is for sure the Batman that can dodge Omega Beams and completely disappear from small locked rooms the moment you turn you back on him.

    Ah, but Paul and Zatanna are considered to be members of the Syndicate by the United States of -14 America, and Luthor has dimensional tech. Combine that with how the legislature is full of the Senators and Representatives that "survived Wilson's purges" and I suspect that if the revenge boner doesn't get a cold shower before they leave, then it'll need tending later when the Syndicate native to -14 isn't enough to satisfy.

    You forget, even if OL might not be able to summon HIS Ophidian, but he should be able to summon - 12 Ophidian, without getting Larfleeze involved, since he has already done so in his own universe, back in the VR episode.

    That was crazy incompetent horrible person Larfleeze...

    So under Crime World rules this Larfleeze should be sane, competent, and a good person.

    Which means the Ophidian would have no reason to leave him for Paul.

    Are Qwardians canonically color-blind, or is that just a way Mr Zoat came up with to make their non-use of green lasers acceptable? (Though I could probably just hand-wave comics Lanterns’ shields blocking offensive green light because of hypertech). It’s a very amusing detail either way.

    I suppose given Jason Todd usually becomes an anti-hero, it makes sense for Talon to become an anti-villain of sorts. That was probably obvious but it can be hard to keep track of the moral reversals sometimes.

    I wonder what Syndicate-Earth’s Eris is like, assuming she exists and wasn’t killed in the Titanomachy or anything. If she’s more positively or productively chaotic that would actually fit in well with Paragon’s mindset.

    Under Crime World rules, Larfleeze might not be an Orange Lantern.

    But it would get his attention and if reversed morality parrallel Larfleeze isn't evil then that means he could totally ask for help from Good Larfleeze. Which would be worth it all on its own.

    The SI was being facetious.
    Larfleeze lived a long and happy life before dying of natural causes. Worry more about Lord Orange.

    No, no this is not the Batman who can dodge Omega Beams. This is the Batman who managed to temporarily play keep-away with Omega Beams until he could interpose a convenient Parademon at the last second as the beams hit.

    "Batgod who can dodge Omega Beams" came later when Batfans getting the chance to run the asylum remembered that and exaggerated it Because He's Batman.

    There may not be a Larfleeze. Krona won the fight in this parallel IE there weren't any surviving 'evil' Guardians making orange lanterns based from Krona research, the troops of love exist because they split long before that event happened. If best snake is trapped in this parallels too then she is probably inside a massive orange crystal somewhere.

    Firestorm once used his matter control power to create a funnel out of thin air so that Darkseid smacked himself in the face with the omega beams.

    A funnel!

    So apparently all it takes to make the omega beams not an issue is some plumbing equipment.
