According to Batman, Dane, as the leader of the Justice League, absolutely could not be tainted in the slightest.
So this matter could not be given to him to do.
But Dane scoffed. In the main World, Superman, as the spiritual leader of the Justice League, was not flawless.
He was even often controlled by villains, doing terrible things, but each time he broke free from enemy control, he continued to be Superman as if nothing had happened.
What? He can do it, but I can't?
But Batman was very insistent, and even Plastic Man, that unreliable fellow, subtly reminded him that this matter should be thought through carefully.
Even this comedic character said so, so Dane couldn't insist on his own way, and Batman hadn't thought of a better candidate yet… No, he hadn't thought it through, but he hadn't said it.
Dane guessed he must have considered letting Superwoman or Sinestro do this.
Indeed, as he thought, Batman had once considered having Superwoman carry out this mission.
Superwoman seemed to obey Dane implicitly. Batman believed that as long as Dane said it, no, he didn't even need to say it, just hint at it, and Superwoman would be willing to do it.
Anyway, this woman was also accustomed to killing, and she herself was once a member of the Crime Syndicate, so she could be put to good use as a waste product.
But Dane disagreed. He understood Superwoman better than Batman. Although her hands were covered in blood, this woman was an Amazon and preferred hand-to-hand combat to slaughter; there was a difference.
If it was fighting the Power Rings of OA face-to-face, asking her for help was no problem, but doing this kind of thing might not be in line with her original intention.
Dane always believed that unless they were enemies, it was best not to force his own people to do things they were unwilling to do.
And from Dane's own heart, he also didn't want to induce Superwoman to do things through such petty means; it would make him feel despicable.
Seeing that Dane seemed somewhat disgusted, Batman changed his candidate again. In fact, he felt there were many Optional people.
He believed that as long as this matter was revealed to Waller, this woman would certainly go to great lengths to make some super criminals from the Syndicate contribute.
For example, Deathstorm or Martian Manhunter, they all had the ability to infiltrate OA and install the super bomb on the Planet.
Sinestro was once on Batman's list, but he wasn't a super criminal and seemed to be a pacifist, so in Batman's mind, letting him do this was not a high priority.
Even Dane thought Sinestro wouldn't be willing to do such a thing. After all, no matter what, this was an act of genocide, definitely not something a hero should do.
"Why?" Dane was genuinely curious. Could it be that Sinestro had some deep-seated hatred for Planet OA?
To gain Shazam's support, Sinestro could only unearth the memories buried deep in his heart and expose them to the light of day.
He recounted everything that OA and the Power Ring Corps had done to his home Planet and his civilization.
Dane remained silent for a long time after hearing it; he understood the feeling.
Let alone that Sinestro's civilization had been annihilated; if it were Dane, and he were in Japan now, he would probably be tempted to destroy the country.
But Dane still asked, "Were there any innocent civilians on that Planet?"
Sinestro recalled the pitiful slaves on OA, his gaze firm, and his will unwavering as he said, "No!"
Dane nodded. Good, he was lying!
It seemed his hatred for OA was genuine; he was willing to sacrifice innocent lives to destroy Planet OA. With such resolve, he would surely get his wish.
Dane thought for a moment and asked if he had a concrete plan.
"If I can get the Supreme Power Ring, I can attract all the Power Rings to Planet OA, and they will go mad fighting for it!"
"At that time, I can take the opportunity to install the bomb in the Central Power Battery Chamber. The bomb and the Lantern's energy will blast the entire Planet into oblivion!"
Dane listened carefully to Sinestro's plan, occasionally asking questions, which Sinestro, having prepared his thoughts, answered one by one.
After listening, Dane believed the plan was highly feasible. The only issues with the plan were the Supreme Power Ring and the Quantum Ontology Bomb.
But Sinestro was somewhat worried: "I don't know how to explain this to Hal. He probably wouldn't agree to me doing this."
Despite their short time together, Sinestro understood Hal Jordan well. This Earthling's sense of Justice was the strongest and most steadfast he had ever seen.
He worried that if he revealed the truth, Hal would not only stop him but also try to restrain him.
Dane knew he wasn't being overly anxious; Hal was capable of doing such a thing.
"Don't worry, this is actually easy to solve."
But for Dane, it was just about tricking Hal, which he often did!
So, he called Hal in front of Sinestro.
"What is it? I'm a bit busy right now..."
Through the receiver, Dane heard explosions and screams from the other end. Hal seemed to be fighting someone. How strange, wasn't he in Coast City?
Dane remembered the criminals there had already been cleared out.
But Dane didn't dwell on it. He said, "I heard you got a Power Ring. I need it for research."
Sinestro was surprised. So direct?
What he didn't know was that Dane often did this.
In the original World, the Justice League's spoils of war were often taken by him for experiments, and everyone in the Justice League had already grown accustomed to it.
Hal complained, "You should pick a more appropriate time to say this. Should I bring it to you when I'm free?"
"No need," Dane said. He glanced at Sinestro and continued, "I'll have Sinestro make the trip. Just give it to him, and he'll bring it over."
"Got it!" Hal said, then quickly hung up. The matter was resolved so easily.
It was so smooth that Sinestro was somewhat stunned.
"He didn't even ask what you'd do with the Ring?" he asked, surprised.
Dane said casually, "Because those things aren't important..."
"As for the Quantum Ontology Bomb, I'll have Deathstorm unlock it and then give it to you. You can go find Hal now!"
After Sinestro flew off with excitement, Zatanna returned with Circe.
"What happened?"
They hadn't heard what transpired.
"We need to speed things up!" Dane said. "I have a feeling we'll need Hell very soon."
While Sinestro was busy looking for the Green Lantern, a group of supervillains also secretly gathered.
"How is the plan progressing?" Red Arrow asked, looking a bit tired. He wasn't a metahuman, and he had spent a lot of effort recently to divert the Justice League's attention.
