The pervasive smoke and dust has not yet dispersed, Frank had already seen a white light source constantly flowing in the smoke, then a metal palm stretched out, and with its rightward waving motion, the smoke immediately dissipated.
In front of Frank, an unknown object with most of its body covered in metal, with only the top of its head, chest, and wrists being transparent parts, and white energy flowing inside, stood in front of him openly, it was Yang Le who had transformed into Atomix.
Speaking of Atomix, he is clearly one of the three major alien heroes officially certified, but his appearance rate with Yang Le is indeed not very high. The reason is that his weakness is too fatal.
Don't get me wrong, Yang Le is not talking about battery life issues, but the collapse of confidence after energy depletion. Atomix is a race with very strong self-confidence before their energy is used up, but once energy is scarce, they will immediately suffer from the number one online disease - depression.
Atomix in this state is no different from a lamb to be slaughtered. Basically, they will not fight back or talk back. This has led to the fact that before solving the energy problem, Yang Le has always only used Atomix to play low-end games in the Marvel universe where gods are everywhere.
There is no way, the gods in Marvel are rarely glass cannons, they are all top-notch high-defense HP sponges, and they are easily worn down, but Frank in front of him is different. Lanterns need to be charged, which is written in the setting.
This time Yang Le caught him. He finally found a character who is not weak, but consumes electricity faster than himself. This time, he must ruthlessly engage in a wave of superiors bullying subordinates.
"Get out of the way!" Frank roared. If it weren't for the energy shortage, Frank, who had turned into the Red Lantern, even wanted to skip the communication step, but in order not to cause any trouble when killing Ross, he could only pick up his already limited patience.
"Hey! Frank." Unexpectedly, Yang Le ignored Frank and said to himself.
"Your days of getting angry easily are over, give me the lantern ring!"
Although he didn't understand how this metal monster in front of him knew his name, after hearing about the lantern ring, Frank understood. This person in front of him was very likely the original owner of the lantern ring, or at least related to it.
Frank cracked his big mouth, revealing his white shark-like teeth, and said, "If you have the ability, come and get it yourself!"
Although the words were different, the meaning was the same. This was an unexpected surprise, but unfortunately it was useless.
"I saved you before, is this how you treat your savior?" Yang Le tapped the Omnitrix logo on his waist.
Frank recognized the logo, and then suspiciously asked, "You are the four-armed guy from before? But why have you changed your appearance?"
"This is my ability." Yang Le spread his hands, and as he spoke, he demonstrated it again in front of Frank, turning into Ultimate Four Arms, and then turning back into Atomix. Frank then believed Yang Le's words.
As for why Yang Le didn't directly transform into Ultimate Four Arms, it was mainly because he was afraid that Frank would attack him indiscriminately. The Red Lantern's unquenchable flames were still relatively difficult to deal with for Four Arms.
"Although you saved me before, it's a pity that I still can't return the lantern ring to you." Frank's attitude changed slightly, but because of the influence of the Red Lantern Ring, he still spoke in an indignant manner, but Yang Le knew that he was very friendly at this time.
"I guessed it." Yang Le nodded. "The power of the lantern ring comes from the emotional spectrum, and the power of the red lantern ring comes from anger among emotions. This makes its power superior among many lantern rings, and its combat ability is top-notch. Being chosen by it proves that you have experienced very terrible things."
"My family, the families of forty-two test subjects, they are all dead!" Frank said, gritting his teeth.
"Those big shots on high are afraid that things will be exposed, so they want to solve the families who know a little inside information before solving those test subjects. I can't let those despicable guys go! I want them blood for blood!"
"This reason is indeed sufficient." Yang Le touched his chin. "I don't seem to have a reason to stop you, but I want to tell you about the drawbacks of the red lantern ring first, and I hope you will make a judgment after listening."
"Please elaborate." Frank patiently put on a listen attentively look.
"The power of the lantern ring, especially the red lantern ring, is powerful, but it requires energy to drive it. Your anger is not enough to replenish this energy. When the energy is exhausted, you will die."
Yang Le presented to Frank the cold reality, but the latter did not waver in the slightest.
"After personally avenging his enemies, reunite with family again." Frank grinned hideously. "I like this storybook happy ending!"
"You are not suitable for telling bedtime stories to children." Yang Le rolled his eyes. "Tell me, who is your enemy?"
"General Ross." Frank coldly said a name. "I found his henchman and forced it out before killing him."
It really is that old dog, Yang Le didn't feel surprised at all. In Frank's surprised eyes, Yang Le directly turned back into a human.
"If it's that old dog, I think I can help a little." Yang Le said, while taking out a mobile phone and operating it. After about a minute, he threw the mobile phone in his hand to Frank again.
"The location of Ross is marked on it. You can go directly to him, saving you some time and energy."
This mobile phone was exactly the one sent by himself from the DC universe before.
Yang Le uploaded the data inside to the cloud storage he built with shapeshifters, and then deleted the data before giving it to Frank.
"Thank you." For the first time, other emotions appeared on Frank's angry face. "I really don't know how this dead man should thank you."
"Just try to live and bring the ring back to me." Yang Le waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care. Frank didn't say anything when he saw this. After confirming Ross's location, he turned his car around and started riding towards New York.
Looking at Frank who was going further and further away, Yang Le sighed. He didn't know if it was because of the day of destiny he had discussed with Eternity before, but Frank still couldn't escape the fate of family destroyed and loved ones killed in this universe.
Also because of this reason, Yang Le has a lot of sympathy and guilt for Frank, sympathizing with his experience, and feeling guilty about whether it was because he failed to prevent the energy explosion that caused all this to happen.
But soon Yang Le was relieved. He didn't need to shoulder all the blame. This was all done by that old dog Ross. He didn't retrieve the red lantern ring, allowing Frank to have the power of revenge, which was even kinder than a saint.
However, although he said he wouldn't take back the ring, Yang Le wouldn't actually leave Frank alone and let him damage the ring. It's just that Yang Le now has a better idea.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 527 Red Lantern Demon VS Hyperion (1)
Yang Le had once seen a metaphor for Lantern Rings before transmigrating, and he thought it was very accurate.
That is, a Lantern Ring is like a mobile phone – powerful, but it must be recharged. A Small Lantern Furnace is like a power bank – its energy storage isn't high, but it can replenish energy at critical moments.
The Big Lantern Furnace is the main power source, with immense energy, capable of recharging both the Lantern Ring and Small Lantern Furnace. The Lantern Entity, on the other hand, is the generator responsible for providing a constant stream of energy to the Big Lantern Furnace.
But in the Marvel Universe, let alone Big and Small Lantern Furnaces, there isn't even a single Lantern Entity. This means Frank's Energy is finite and depletes with use. Yang Le guessed this was also why Frank was riding a car instead of using Flight.
Right now, the Lantern Ring is essentially a disposable item. And in Yang Le's opinion, the Power of the Lantern Ring was just okay. Only the Blue Lantern and Purple Lantern were slightly interesting; he didn't have much interest in the others.
However, although Lantern Rings differ greatly due to the different Emotional Energy they utilize, their underlying logic is interconnected. Only by studying the Red Lantern Ring could Yang Le create other Lantern Rings using his own Power.
Lantern Corps members are an excellent choice for subordinates. As long as they possess the corresponding Emotion, even a pile of slugs could become powerful Warriors.
But before that, Yang Le first needed to figure out how to solve the Power supply issue for the Lantern Ring. Without Lantern Entity Power Generation, relying solely on their own Emotional Energy, Lantern Corps members would struggle to unleash their full Strength. They needed a stable Energy source.
And Yang Le had just thought of a stable source of Red Lantern Energy.
…
"Report, General."
Glenn stood at the Tent entrance, saluting and awaiting the Order from the Big Shots inside.
"Come in."
Having received the Order, Glenn walked straight into the Tent. As soon as he entered, he saw General Ross sitting in a Chair, exhaling large plumes of Smoke.
"What is it, Glenn?" General Ross stubbed out his Cigarette and glanced at the Time on his Watch, realizing it was already daytime.
"New York City has been quiet for a while now. According to News reported by Colonel Bridge, who is still alive, a group of Superhumans suddenly appeared in the City and dealt with all the Giants. The Reconnaissance Force we sent out just now also returned with News confirming that the City is indeed safe."
"City?" General Ross scoffed. "It's going to be hard to find a Building still standing in there. I never thought New York would come to this."
Glenn lowered his head, not daring to respond. Some Words were only for the Leader to say; Subordinates could only pretend they hadn't heard.
"What was that Light that erupted just now?" General Ross didn't delve deeper into that Topic. After all, if the City was gone, it could be rebuilt, and maybe he could even find some Benefits for himself in all this.
"Doctor Banner was taken back to rest by Miss Betty." Glenn gave an awkward Expression. "Mr. Howard is currently conducting Research with the other Doctors, but 24 hours of non-stop Work has slightly reduced their efficiency."
"Girls are hard to keep once they grow up," General Ross sighed. He then reached for another Cigarette, only to find his Cigarette Case was already empty. Looking at the ashtray beside him, he was surprised to realize he'd smoked quite a lot today.
"Shall I get you a pack of Cigarettes, sir?" Glenn saw what Ross meant and immediately asked.
"No need," Ross said, casually tossing aside the Cigarette Case. "I have smoked a bit too much. Looking at that ashtray, I can feel it in my Lung. Have someone bring me Breakfast later; I've still got a mountain of Business to deal with."
"Understood!" Glenn saluted and turned to leave, but noticed another Soldier running quickly towards them from outside.
Glenn naturally stepped forward, blocking the Soldier's Charge, and asked sternly, "What is it?"
"Report!" As soon as the Soldier saw it was Glenn, General Ross's Confidant, he immediately stopped, saluted, and said.
"Just now, a Drone spotted an unidentified object approaching the Military Camp at an alarming Speed."
"An unidentified object with amazing Speed?" Ross stepped out of the Tent. "Is it Hyperion?"
"No, General," the Soldier shook his head. "It's speeding along the Ground, not in Flight. We believe it to be..."
"Rumble rumble rumble!"
A deafening Engine Sound erupted, instantly drawing the Gaze of everyone in the Military Camp. They all turned their Line of Sight towards the Direction of the Sound. Only General Ross secretly slipped his Hand into his pocket, as if searching for something.
"Is that the Sound of a Harley?" A Soldier frowned, but quickly shook his head. While a Harley's Engine Sound is powerful, it's nowhere near as loud as that. You could tell Soldiers that was an Airplane Engine, and they'd believe you.
Yet, the truth was, a Red Shadow on an Old Fat Harley was crashing straight towards the Military Camp.
"Stop! Military Camp ahead!" a Soldier shouted through a Loudspeaker, but the rider on the Harley seemed to have not heard, continuing to crash towards the Military Camp.
"Open fire!" Seeing this, the Soldier didn't hesitate and immediately command to fire. Emptying the Magazine while issuing a Warning is their old tradition.
Dozens of Muzzle Flash erupted, and a Steel Storm of Bullets chased after the Red Shadow, but the figure continued to Charge straight ahead.
That Red Shadow was Frank, transformed into the Red Lantern. Of course, he wouldn't take these Soldiers' Weapons seriously. The temperature of his Rage alone could melt them into Molten Iron.
Frank's Gaze narrowed, and the Red Halo around him suddenly blazed like Flame. The intense Heat Wave made even Soldiers thousands of meters away feel a burning pain. Needless to say, the Bullets approaching Frank at high Speed simply melted into droplets of Molten Iron and fell to the Ground.
"Get out of the way, quick!" the commanding Soldier shouted. This Guy was clearly a Superhuman, far beyond their ability to handle. Better to get out of the way than get run down.
Frank felt the same way. As long as these Soldiers retreated obediently, he wouldn't harm them. After all, he'd once been a clueless Soldier himself. Revenge had its target; there was no need to vent Rage on these poor guys.
Just as he was about to break into the Military Camp, a Red Shadow descended from the sky, blocking Frank's Inevitable Path. Unlike Yang Le earlier, this person landed smoothly, without causing much commotion.
This allowed Frank to see the True Identity of the person blocking his way: Hyperion, the current strongest Superhuman and Leader of the Squadron Supreme. There were also rumors that he was General Ross's son.
But none of that mattered to Frank. All he knew was that if the other Guy didn't move, Frank would crush him.
No one could stop his Revenge.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 528 Red Lantern vs. Hyperion (2)
Hyperion, who had just arrived, saw Frank Castle at first glance. After all, the other party's appearance was too eye-catching, and no wonder Dad General Ross would use the Emergency Communicator to call him.
Facing the aggressive Red Lantern Frank, Hyperion naturally used his atomic rays to test the waters. This move never failed him.
Weaker ones would be directly resolved, stronger ones could also slow down the opponent's momentum, and at worst, it could force the opponent to attack to see their ability.
After all, some superhuman's abilities are indeed tricky, and even he has to be careful.
Frank Castle did not dodge or evade, but grinned and faced the atomic rays rushing towards him head-on. Just as everyone thought Frank Castle was about to directly confront Hyperion's attack, a translucent red semicircle appeared out of nowhere about a foot in front of the Harley, just in time to cover the entire bike and Frank Castle sitting on it.
After the atomic rays hit the red semicircle, it scattered around. Fortunately, Frank Castle did not rush into the barracks, otherwise, these scattered rays were very likely to cause huge casualties.
"Let the soldiers evacuate," Hyperion loudly reminded the soldiers behind him. "By the way, tell the Supreme Squadron my position and let them come to support."
After instructing all of this, Hyperion rushed towards Frank Castle. The most important thing at the moment is to prevent Frank Castle from rushing into the military camp to prevent him from causing damage to ordinary people.
Frank Castle licked his tooth, twisted the accelerator to the end, turned into an afterimage, and collided with Hyperion.
"Bang!" After a muffled sound, Hyperion was pushed back dozens of meters, and several traces were plowed on the ground, until he was about to crash into the military camp before he slowly stopped.
Harley's exhaust pipe kept spewing out fire, but it still couldn't go any further. Hyperion firmly controlled it in front of him.
Seeing this, Frank Castle was not annoyed, but instead let go of his left hand holding the handlebar, raised it above the car front and held it in a void grip. In Hyperion's shocked gaze, the red ring on Frank Castle's left hand flashed scarlet red light.
The red light emitted gathered on Frank Castle's left hand and turned into a short double-barreled shotgun.
"Smile!" Frank Castle grinned and pulled the trigger. Scarlet red flames spewed out from the gun barrel and hit Hyperion's head straight on. Hyperion, whose eyes are different from human, saw the extraordinary nature of the scarlet red energy.
Hyperion originally wanted to use atomic rays to resist, but he found that it was too late to mobilize power now. Helpless, he could only close his eyes first, then let go of both hands holding the bike, and try his best to block this attack.
"Bang!" Hyperion was still a step slower. This shot still solidly hit his forehead. His head lifted uncontrollably backward, and his body also began to tilt backward. At the same time, because the bike was out of control, Frank Castle, who had been holding the accelerator since just now, twisted the accelerator again.
"Rumble rumble rumble!" Accompanied by the roar was the scene of Hyperion being knocked away, but Hyperion only flew back a few meters before stabilizing his figure in the air.
"Ah!" Annoyed, Hyperion roared, adjusted his figure in mid-air, and then charged towards Frank Castle's direction. Frank Castle naturally wouldn't just stare blankly. The double-barreled shotgun in his left hand changed again and turned into an Uzi submachine gun.
The muzzle flash of the submachine gun kept spitting out. Seeing this, Hyperion could only draw arcs in the air to dodge. The bullet that hit his head just now was still faintly painful, which made him know that the guy in front of him was an opponent with the ability to hurt him.
This not only made Hyperion feel frustrated, but an alien who could overwhelm him had just appeared some time ago, and now another one who could hurt him has appeared. Why are there more and more guys who can fight him recently?
Without restraint, Hyperion's flight speed was very fast. After drawing arcs in the air to dodge Frank Castle's shooting, he quickly closed the distance between the two and found the right opportunity to knock him off the motorcycle.
Not only that, Hyperion also carried Frank Castle's body and took him to a higher altitude. Because Frank Castle came by motorcycle, Hyperion speculated that the other party should not have flight.
If the other party does not have flight, he would definitely not dare to act rashly. He could take down the opponent by altitude alone. This was the judgment made by Hyperion.
But unfortunately, this judgment was a mistake. As a member of the Lantern Corps, a space bum, flight is the most basic of basics. The reason why Frank Castle did not fly was just to save energy.
Frank Castle clenched his right hand, and a red energy gathered on his fist. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a red gauntlet. The gauntlet was covered with spikes, making people's inner heart feel cold.
"Bang!" The fist covered with spikes solidly hammered on Hyperion's head. The power of this punch was not bad. Not only did Frank Castle's gauntlet burst out with sparks, but even Hyperion's nose bled a scarlet red streak.
Hyperion, whose body shifted involuntarily, clenched his right fist, and then while straightening his body, he began to gather power. After turning around, he also threw a punch at Frank Castle.
Although Frank Castle has combat experience, he is not familiar with the attack rhythm of superhuman. He didn't expect Hyperion to adjust so quickly. You know, that was an attack to the head. Any creature should be dizzy for a while.
But the fact is that Hyperion was not only not dizzy, but also organized a counterattack in a very short time. Frank Castle, who was preparing to launch the next attack, was caught off guard and was instead blasted from the air to the ground by Hyperion with a punch.
"Boom!" Like a meteorite falling to the ground, the huge shockwave overturned the surrounding tent. Human could not resist this great power. A few soldiers who were close were blown away like boundless grass.
Seeing this, the soldiers did not scream and lose control, but instead accelerated the speed of retreat. Fortunately, Hyperion had reminded them to evacuate before, otherwise, more serious loss might have occurred now.
Before the smoke and dust splashed up by Frank Castle dissipated, Hyperion's pursuit had already arrived. He rushed straight into the smoke and dust where he couldn't see the goal. If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely not recommend doing this, after all, no one knows whether your opponent will organize a counterattack in such a place with poor visibility.
But Hyperion does not need to worry about these. With the powerful physiological characteristics of the Eternals, this smoke and dust cannot block his line of sight at all, nor can it stop his footsteps of attack.
"Bang!" Another earth-shattering collision. The smoke and dust that was still falling freely was instantly blown away, revealing the figures of Hyperion and Frank Castle.
It turned out that the reason why Frank Castle did not come out was indeed to organize a counterattack, preparing to sneak attack Hyperion. The double-edged axe composed of emotional spectrum he was holding in his hand at this time was the best proof.
However, Hyperion had already seen through his intention. He swung his fist to meet the axe. For a time, he was not at a disadvantage. The shockwave erupted from the fight between the two even overturned the ground around them.
(End of chapter)
Chapter 529 Red Lantern Demon VS Supreme Squadron
The ground that was lifted shattered into pieces of rubble, scattering in all directions like a gale sweeping through.
Hyperion was already too preoccupied to worry about ordinary people. The enemy before him demanded his full attention, and the force from the fist made him click his tongue in surprise.
Hyperion wanted to disengage and create distance from the enemy. As he looked up, preparing to unleash atomic rays at Frank Castle, he realized his opponent seemed to have the same idea.
Except Hyperion's eyes widened, while Frank Castle opened his mouth.
"Urgh!" A viscous, scarlet flame, thick as blood, erupted from Frank Castle's mouth. Simultaneously, Hyperion's ray shot from his eyes. The two powerful energies collided in mid-air, causing a violent explosion.
The power of the explosion and the resulting gale forced Hyperion to sway, especially at such close distance. Caught off balance, Hyperion stumbled back a step.
But his opponent, Frank Castle, pressed forward instead of retreating, raising the alarmingly large battle axe and swinging it down at Hyperion.
"Clang!" The sound of metal clashing echoed. Hyperion, still unsteady, was driven straight to the ground by the sheer force of Frank Castle's downward strike. Hyperion finally understood why Frank Castle was unaffected by the earlier blast.
Frank Castle had braced himself, his feet anchored to the ground by a complex machine structure of red spectrum energy, like two ground stakes driven deep.
Being an Eternal, Hyperion's formidable defense power saved him. The axe, composed of rage energy, only managed to cut through Hyperion's battle suit, failing to penetrate his skin.
Seeing his attack ineffective, Frank Castle immediately changed tactics. The battle axe in his hands began to reconfigure, transforming into a chainsaw in an instant.
With a sharp pull of the starter cord and a deafening roar, the chainsaw sprang to life. The spinning chain relentlessly tore into Hyperion's body, sending sparks flying. From a distance, it looked like a scene from a horror movie.
Feeling his skin heat up and a constant pain spreading, Hyperion knew that if this continued, Frank Castle would indeed cut through his skin in this manner.
He was about to retaliate with atomic rays when Frank Castle moved even faster. He reached out his right hand towards Hyperion's head, and a red light enveloped Hyperion's head, instantly solidifying into a helmet with no air holes.
Having neutralized Hyperion's atomic rays, Frank Castle increased the chainsaw's speed. He needed to finish off the enemy before him quickly, or Old Dog Ross might escape to who-knows-where, making it difficult to find him again.
Just then, a bright ray shot out from a corner. Frank Castle, his eyes solely focused on Hyperion, was caught off guard and struck squarely in the back by this sneak attack, sending him flying.
Before Frank Castle could regain his balance in the air, a figure rushed in front of him, followed by a thunderous boom. Frank Castle was sent flying in another direction.
This time, no one stopped him. Frank Castle crashed heavily onto the ground, but his extensive combat experience kicked in. He used the momentum to roll several laps on the ground, dissipating some of the force and creating distance from his enemies, escaping the encirclement.
However, things were not as simple as he hoped. An afterimage of red and blue streaks capitalized on Frank Castle's momentary disorientation and was already upon him.
Faced with an enemy of such speed, Frank Castle was momentarily stunned. As mentioned before, Frank Castle, as a soldier, possessed considerable combat experience, but in the realm of superhuman combat, he was still a new recruit.
When faced with multiple enemies, each with unique abilities, Frank Castle suddenly felt overwhelmed.
In that brief moment of hesitation, the unseen enemy launched hundreds of attacks. While the damage from each attack was insignificant compared to Hyperion's, the sheer volume was enough to become a serious nuisance, even potentially overwhelming Frank Castle.
"Argh!" With a roar, the Red Lantern ring on his left hand blazed with scarlet light. A wave of red spectrum energy erupted from Frank Castle's body, forcing back the enemies that were relentlessly harassing him.
"That ability..." Whizzer, who had retreated to a safe distance in the blink of an eye, looked at Frank Castle with hesitation. "It's kind of like Doctor Spectrum's."
"Crack!" Tearing off the helmet, Hyperion, finally getting a chance to breathe thanks to his teammate's arrival, said, "I thought so too. Doctor Spectrum, what do you think?"
"It does resemble spectrum energy, but I can't affect the energy he's emitting," Doctor Spectrum said, flying to Hyperion's side. "Otherwise, I would have removed that helmet from your head earlier."
"It seems his ability is closely related to spectrum, but fundamentally different," Doctor Spectrum observed, glancing at the prism on his gloves, the source of his power.
"I noticed earlier, when he used his ability to push back Whizzer, the ring on his left hand glowed unusually bright. I suspect that ring is the source of his ability."
Perhaps due to the similarity of their abilities, Doctor Spectrum, though unable to decipher Frank Castle's power, immediately recognized his weakness.
Hyperion lowered his head, recalling the fight. He realized Doctor Spectrum was right. The ring on Frank Castle's hand had indeed emitted varying degrees of light whenever he used his abilities. He hadn't considered it before, but Doctor Spectrum's reminder suddenly made everything clear.
"Then the goal is obvious," Power Princess said, flexing her wrist as she joined the group. "We need to take off that red guy's ring."
"Leave it to me," Whizzer said, vanishing before his words even finished. He clearly intended to use his speed advantage to snatch Frank Castle's ring, hoping to end the battle quickly.
However, Frank Castle was well aware of his weakness. Before Whizzer could reach him, Frank Castle took flight. Whizzer, lacking flight ability, could only watch from the ground.
"Hey!" Whizzer exclaimed, widening his eyes. "That's not fair! Come down here if you dare!"
Frank Castle ignored the clownish antics. His gaze shifted to a more distant direction, towards the army's retreat. While he was entangled with Hyperion, the army had already moved far away.
The thought of his enemy escaping ignited an even more intense rage in Frank Castle's heart. The Red Lantern ring on his left hand blazed with an undeniable light, and the red glow covering his body erupted into raging flame!
"Clearly, he's become more difficult to deal with," Power Princess said, rolling her eyes. After years of fighting crime, she was used to this. But she wasn't worried at all.
Even if Frank Castle became more challenging, he couldn't possibly defeat all of them, could he? An opponent as powerful as that alien was a rare occurrence.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 530 Trapped Beast Fight
Frank clenched his fist, while guarding against the Supreme Squadron's attacks, he was also estimating how much energy was left in the Red Lantern Ring.
In the previous entanglement with Hyperion, only the two Flame Breath attacks consumed slightly more energy. This was because once he put on the Red Lantern Ring, the Red Lantern Ring would modify the host, replacing all the blood in the original host's body with Rage Energy.
Therefore, Frank's Flame Breath was equivalent to directly spraying out the energy in his body, and the consumption was naturally greater. However, this was also the strongest Killer Move for most Red Lanterns.
After all, the Red Lantern's flame can directly burn away the energy of other Lantern Rings, and it can also cause considerable damage to even Superman's steel body.
Frank roughly estimated that he probably had 70%-80% of his energy left. If he was only dealing with Hyperion alone, it might be enough, but it would be a bit overwhelming to face the versatile Supreme Squadron.
He had to find a method to escape. Getting entangled with these people would only let his real goal get away.
In just a few seconds, Frank had made up his mind, but the battlefield was changing rapidly, and the Supreme Squadron would not stand in the original place waiting for him to finish thinking.
Doctor Spectrum was the first to attack. Perhaps because he saw that the opponent's ability was similar to his own, he raised his right hand with the prism. Accompanied by the flashing of the transparent crystal, colorful energy gathered in the air and rushed towards Frank in the air.
The colorful energy transformed into a giant palm. Doctor Spectrum wanted to knock Frank down from the air like swatting a bug. Frank, seeing this, was also unwilling to show weakness. He raised his left hand with the Red Lantern Ring, and a red light cone appeared directly above Frank, piercing a hole in the palm.
In just a brief confrontation, Doctor Spectrum could see that the energy used by the person in front of him was much more domineering than his own. In a head-on confrontation, his energy could not even overcome the opponent's temporary counterattack.
However, this did not make Doctor Spectrum feel discouraged, because his attack was just a feint attack, and the real killer move was not him.
Frank in the air had not yet retracted the light cone when a cold wind killed him from behind. Frank, who hurriedly turned around, only saw a flash of cold light in his peripheral vision.
"Clang!"
A sword slashed directly on Frank's arm. Power Princess clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction. Her sword was originally aimed at Frank's neck, but she did not expect the opponent's reaction ability to be so fast, and he actually used his arm to block her killer move.
However, her move was not without merit. Power Princess's sword still cut open Frank's skin and got stuck in the flesh. Scarlet blood was about to flow out.
However, to Power Princess's surprise, something did flow out of Frank's wound, but it was not fresh blood, but viscous scarlet flame. This flame, like blood, continuously seeped out of the wound and began to flow towards Power Princess along the sword.
The scarlet red flame had not yet spread to Power Princess's body, but the scorching heat had already made her feel a burning pain. The metal sword was burned red-hot in the blink of an eye. Power Princess had no choice but to let go of the sword due to the astonishing heat emanating from the sword.
However, Power Princess's attack was more than just this. She raised her left hand bound with a shield and smashed it straight towards Frank's head.
Frank, for some reason, did not defend. He just stared blankly at the wound on his forearm until the shield smashed into his face before he reacted, groaning and flying backwards towards the ground.
Frank, who fell to the ground, splashed smoke and dust. Whizzer knew his opportunity had come. Although he did not have powerful vision like Hyperion, which could see through all obstacles, he had absolute confidence in his speed.
In his opinion, Frank could not catch him before, and now that he was injured, it was even more impossible to catch him.
Whizzer, who was going forward without hesitation, rushed into the smoke. The remaining people did not even have time to speak to stop him. Just as they were about to open their mouths, Whizzer had already retreated from the smoke.
Could it be that Whizzer really succeeded? Even Hyperion felt surprised, until they saw Whizzer fall to the ground in a very embarrassing manner.
"His leg!" Doctor Spectrum was the first to exclaim. Before he shouted, Hyperion had already rushed to Whizzer's side. At the same time, orange-yellow light burst out from his eyes. Atomic Ray was aimed at nothing else but Whizzer's legs.
The legs that Whizzer was so proud of were no longer in shape at this time. Scarlet red flames completely enveloped them, and the things enveloped inside had turned into charcoal.
The speed of the flame spreading was very fast. In the blink of an eye, it spread from the ankle to the calf. In order to save Whizzer's life, Hyperion had no choice but to cut off both of his calves.
The flame that lost combustibles was still active even when touched on the soil. They represented one of the simplest emotions in this world—anger. As long as Frank's anger did not extinguish, these rage would burn everything in the world.
In order not to cause secondary damage to Whizzer, Hyperion hugged Whizzer, who had fainted and lost his fighting ability, and retreated to a safe distance, instructing Doctor Spectrum to guard him and contact someone to pick him up and take him for treatment.
When Hyperion refocused his line of sight on Frank, the latter had reappeared in everyone's line of sight from the smoke and dust that blocked his line of sight, but the opponent's brand-new appearance made all the heroes present feel horrified.
Frank was wearing a set of armor made of red energy, but this armor was not used to protect him, but to harm him.
Because the red energy was translucent, everyone could see the internal structure clearly. The lining of the armor was covered with spikes of varying sizes. These spikes were deeply stabbed into Frank's body.
Not only that, these spikes seemed to have blood-sucking grooves. While stabbed into Frank's body, they would also suck out the viscous flame stored in his body, and then flow out from the openings on the surface of the armor.
At this time, at Frank's foot, a blood pool had already gathered, and even Frank's ankles were submerged in it. It was estimated that this was also the reason why Whizzer's legs were wrapped on by the flame. Fortunately, his speed was fast enough to run out before the flame completely burned his legs.
Seeing Frank at this time, what everyone present was thinking about was not how to deal with Frank at this time, but what exactly was driving him to do this. What was the point of this self-mutilating fighting method even if he really got tough?
Was all this really worth it?
"Come…" Frank's voice was hoarse, but the quiet environment did not prevent everyone from hearing his sound clearly.
"Is there anyone else! Who wants to taste! My rage!"
