Chapter 661: Love at First Sight
"You mean this."
Thor raised his left hand and lifted the money bag. Was it because of the altitude? At this moment, the money bag looked even more exaggerated.
"Yes." Yang Le nodded. "The previous medical fees were considered my loan to you, and now you can just return the money to me."
"That's no problem." Thor also nodded. "But this is originally what I should return to you; it shouldn't be counted as part of my request to you."
"That's enough, after all, giving directions is just a small matter." Yang Le waved his hand. After all, he really didn't have anything that required Thor's help. Although Yang Le really wanted to know the reason why Thor came to Earth, this problem was obviously not something that could be easily asked.
From the beginning of their meeting, they hadn't understood each other, especially considering this was Thor's first time descending on Earth in modern times. Yang Le shouldn't know about Thor or Asgard in any way.
Unless Thor took the initiative to say it, otherwise in Yang Le's eyes, Thor should just be a superhuman from a foreign land, wearing strange costumes. This kind of setting from other worlds appearing in reality is too ahead of its time.
"You are truly a noble and selfless champion," Thor exclaimed, and then placed the entire bag of gold coins at Yang Le's foot.
Yang Le could swear that the ground definitely vibrated when this bag of gold coins landed. He really didn't know how many gold coins Thor had brought, but what was certain was that this bag of gold coins definitely exceeded the medical fees he had paid.
"This bag of gold coins is all for you, please forgive me for only being able to thank you in such a mundane way for your help."
Thor patted Yang Le's shoulder again. Based on the brief contact just now, this Midgardian in his presence, whose appearance closely resembled the Celestial Gods of Da Luo Tian, was definitely the Midgardian he had met who was most to his flavor.
This was indeed an unexpected surprise. Originally, Yang Le only thought about getting a dozen gold coins, but getting a large bag of gold coins was completely beyond Yang Le's expectations.
Of course, Yang Le was not greedy for money. If he wanted to, he could completely use Upgrade to collapse the entire Earth's economy. Since having Upgrade, he had become a human with little material desire.
The reason for wanting these gold coins was because the metal that made up these gold coins came from Asgard. Yang Le felt that if he refined them, he might be able to obtain some useful metal.
His Asgardian form was still missing a handy weapon. With metal from Asgard and Grey Matter's help, he would definitely be able to forge a good weapon.
"It's a pity there's no good wine here, otherwise I would really like to drink with you until dawn."
Moving his slightly numb shoulder, Yang Le said with a smile, "It's a pity, I don't like alcoholic beverages. As an ordinary person, that thing can easily confuse my brain."
"That's a pity." Thor shook his head. "How can a true warrior not know how to drink wine? It must be because you haven't tasted real good wine. Oh right!"
Thor clapped his palm and said excitedly, "I know how to repay you; I will take you to drink real good wine."
"We'll see." Yang Le curled up the corner of his mouth. Listening to what Thor said, he should be considered a friend in his eyes. Although he hadn't told him about Asgard yet, he was already willing to let himself indirectly come into contact with Asgard.
Maybe if he worked harder, he could learn something about Asgard from him, such as a wine party. But forget it, Yang Le really couldn't accept wine; only fruit wine he could drink a cup or two, other wines he would rather decline politely.
Speaking of which, Gwen's dad, George, was most satisfied with him because he didn't have some of the bad habits of American youths, such as drinking wine, which was one of them.
Although the law clearly stipulated that minors could not drink alcoholic beverages, those brats didn't care about these things. They had all sorts of methods to get wine. George was very afraid that someone would bring these bad habits to Gwen.
Therefore, George had very strict control over Gwen's interpersonal relationships. This was also one of the reasons why the father and daughter often quarreled. At first, George was still somewhat dissatisfied with Yang Le approaching Gwen, but long-term contact still changed George's idea.
The blonde girl in his brain made Yang Le couldn't help but reveal a smile. This smile even infected Thor beside him.
"I bet, you are definitely thinking about a girl in your brain." Thor's tone carried a hint of teasing. "I have seen many expressions like that; I believe I won't be mistaken."
"Yes." Yang Le generously admitted it. He was not the kind of pure love light novel protagonist. Having someone he liked and who liked him was a business that he thought was very worthy of pride.
"I can tell, she must be a good girl."
Thor looked a little old-fashioned at this time. Yang Le then remembered that this handsome blond strong man was actually a thousand-year-old old person. His age of living was even longer than the time since some nations were founded.
The two chatted for a while, and both found that they were very compatible. Although they wanted to continue, the nurse in the hospital had already begun to drive them away because they were too noisy. It must be said, Thor's voice was indeed very loud.
Helpless, the two could only leave the hospital with luggage. The so-called luggage was actually that bag of gold coins, but its current master was Yang Le, but because of the weight, it was still carried by Thor, the former master.
The two walked and chatted, and found that the more they talked, the more compatible they became. Thor liked Yang Le's forthright temperament very much. This feeling gave Thor, who had just experienced no one's help, a sense of intimacy of home.
And Yang Le liked Thor's wise and humorous personality very much. It could only be said that Thor of Universe 9527 was really different. If Thor of other Universes was a qualified warrior, then Thor of Universe 9527 was a qualified Crown Prince.
Yang Le also understood why Thor of this Universe was not cleared of his memory by Odin and then thrown to Earth to suffer. Obviously, it was because he met Odin's request.
"I am very happy to meet a friend like you in a foreign land." Thor put the gold coins in the back of a pickup truck. This pickup was a rental car that Yang Le had called, just to pull this pile of gold coins. Although he liked Thor very much, Yang Le still wanted to keep a hand in reserve without knowing the other party's purpose.
This person was not the Thor he knew well after all. No one knew if there was something terrible hidden under this likable appearance. What if Asgard of this Universe was invaders?
"By the way," Thor seemed to suddenly remember something. "I actually came to this nation for a purpose; I wonder if you can help me."
"Oh?" Yang Le asked calmly. "What kind of help do you want me to do?"
"I want to find a human."
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 662: Talking at Cross Purposes
"Looking for someone?"
Yang Le repeated Thor's words in a questioning tone. He was a little puzzled about what kind of person would warrant Asgard sending Thor, the Crown Prince, to find.
Could it be Loki? Could it be that this God of Mischief has caused some trouble again, and because the matter has become too big, Thor has to come out personally to bring him back?
This is quite possible, because due to his identity, Loki cannot become the king of Asgard. It's just that this poor child doesn't know this, which leads Loki to keep working hard for an almost impossible goal.
Odin's original intention was to cultivate a suitable Frost Giant successor, who is Loki, to make him the king of Jotunheim, and then to have him and the next successor of Asgard, who is Thor, form an eternal alliance.
This plan is indeed good from Asgard's perspective alone. The kings of the two nations grow up together from childhood, live together, they know each other well, and rely on long time to form a bond like brothers.
This bond will tightly link these two people, and take this bond as a starting point to bring eternal peace between Jotunheim and Asgard.
But from the perspective of Jotunheim people and Loki, it is different.
In short, Odin's idea was indeed good, but he did not use more action to perfect his idea, which led to Asgard and Jotunheim having no peace at all, and Loki also grew up in a distorted childhood.
It can be said to be a God-level idea, but an Eagle-level execution. Thanks to the effort of Loki and Thor, these two next generations, this bad move did not lead to a complete collapse.
However, that's according to the Main Universe. Judging from the current situation, Thor of Universe 9527 is polite, brave and extraordinary, and doesn't have those bad habits of early Thor. Yang Le really doesn't know how Loki is going to compete with him for the position of heir to Asgard.
"Yes." Thor nodded. "The person I'm looking for is a relative of mine. I don't know where he is, and he is not familiar with your nation, so I want to ask if you have any relevant channels to help?"
Looking for a relative? I really guessed it right. Isn't this just coming out to find Loki?
Yang Le nodded smugly. He thought that based on his understanding, it is impossible to make a mistake in judgment about some familiar heroes. Who else could be Thor's relative who came to Earth besides Loki?
Could it be that Odin, that white-bearded old man, has dementia again? Impossible. According to the setting of the Asgardian Gods, these guys are becoming more and more monstrous. If they want to get dementia, at least it has to be a cosmic tapeworm going to the wrong place, not getting into the stomach but invading the brain instead.
What, Odin, are you also going to have a scene of giving birth to a child from your head, right?
While his brain was filled with wild thoughts, his face remained calm. Yang Le asked with a normal expression, "I do have some connections, but if you want to find someone, you also have to give me some characteristics or something, for example, I need to know whether the person to be found is she or he?"
"I'm not very sure about that either." Thor showed an apologetic expression. "I can't guarantee whether the person I'm looking for is male or female. Although we are relatives, I actually know very little about him or her."
This is not right. Thor and Loki clearly grew up together. How could Thor not know anything about Loki? Could it be that my judgment was wrong?
Yang Le frowned slightly, but he quickly figured it out. Loki, as the God of Mischief, is best at all kinds of wonderful changes, including but not limited to changes in appearance, changes in magic. Changing appearance and gender is as simple as breathing for him.
As for not knowing, Thor initially knew very little about Loki, this younger brother in name. Rather, it should be said that there are very few people in all of Asgard who really understand him.
"Thor, my friend." Yang Le spread out his hands, showing a helpless expression. "You can't give me no information at all, right? In this way, even if I am a God, I can't find the person you are looking for."
Thor became even more embarrassed, because he is indeed a God, and he really can't find the person he is looking for. In his opinion, if Yang Le knew his true identity, these words would be sarcastically mocking him.
However, precisely because he thought Yang Le didn't know, Thor felt even more embarrassed.
"I'm very sorry." Thor apologized decisively and neatly. Asking for help from others but not being able to provide any clues, in his opinion, Yang Le not losing his temper is already a God-like person. If someone spoke to him like this, Thor would think that the other person was playing with him.
However, what Thor didn't know was that the reason why Yang Le wasn't angry was because he knew Thor inside and out, so he didn't feel anything about those outrageous requests.
But it is because of this little bit of information difference that Thor thinks Yang Le is a very kind and gentle person. Of course, if you praise Yang Le like this, he will only say to you that this is simply me, but we all know that it is just thick-skinned shamelessness. (This comment comes from Miss Gwenpool who is reading this work.)
"I can only tell you that the person I'm looking for is a very strong person, he should be at least as strong as me. I don't know if you know anyone like this?"
"Powerful superhuman?" Yang Le touched his chin, pretending to think for a while. "This nation does have many powerful superhumans, I can help you list them all, but we can't guarantee that the person you are looking for is among them."
"This is already a great help to me." Thor showed a smile. "I'm already very satisfied to have some goals. This is much better than me searching blindly on my own."
"Okay then." After Yang Le finished speaking, he ran to the convenience store on the side and bought a sticky note and a pen, and wrote down all the names of the stronger superhumans in the current universe in his brain, and also indicated the locations where they could be found later.
"I really don't know how to thank you." Thor took the sticky note handed over by Yang Le. "In any case, I owe you a big favor."
While Yang Le waved his hand to decline, Thor had already lowered his head to look at the sticky note. He saw the name of the first superhuman marked on the sticky note at first glance.
"Hyperion?" Thor murmured softly. "This name is a bit strange."
After all, the name Hyperion was originally the name of a Titan in Greek Mythology. Perhaps because of fate, Hyperion, as an Eternal Titan, also used it as his name, so it is normal for Thor to have some fluctuations about this name from Mythology.
"This is the name of the strongest superhero on Earth right now. How come you don't know?"
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 663: Such a Corny Couple
Yang Le strictly maintained his identity. In his eyes, Thor was just a strange Superhuman from another Nation.
"My News isn't that well-informed," Thor said calmly, accepting the Note. "Thank you very much for your Help, Friend. I might disappear for a while, but I promise I will never forget your Kindness."
Thor had actually considered telling Yang Le about Asgard, but modern Society's Earth was too different from the Earth of hundreds of years ago in his Awareness. Moreover, his Father Odin had said it was best to keep a low profile for this Action.
Unfortunately, Thor could only reveal his True identity to Yang Le after obtaining Odin's approval later. This deliberate Feeling made Thor very uncomfortable.
Thor decided that after completing the Mission and returning to Asgard, he would ask Odin for permission to bring Yang Le to Asgard for a Lap, so as to make up for the Guilt in his Inner Heart.
If Yang Le knew what this blond, muscular Human was thinking, he might also feel ashamed.
Although Yang Le approached Thor with a hint of calculation, after a brief contact, Yang Le did have the Idea of becoming Friends with Thor.
Yang Le didn't have many Friends. Gwen was his Girlfriend, so she was excluded first. The Peters from Universe 65B, Earth-616B, Universe 1610B, and Universe 90214 counted as four. Penny and Spider-Ham were also included, plus the Fantastic Twins siblings.
All in all, there were only eight people. Oh, right, recently there was also Gwenpool, but that was only nine people. For a person's Circle of Friends, this was considered small, but these were all Friends to whom he could entrust his Life and Death. Therefore, Yang Le had always felt Pride in having such a group of Friends.
In Universe 9527, Yang Le really hadn't made a Friend in the true sense. Now, Thor in his Presence was a good Choice. Although there were many lies in their encounter, Yang Le felt that these could be gradually resolved over Time.
Simply put, Yang Le felt that Thor was a good Human to get to know deeply. After all, no one would dislike having more Friends, especially such a powerful Friend like Thor.
This person was a Ruthless Person who could easily surpass the Single Universe Level just by his own Setting, without relying on a Cheat. Having him as a Friend was indeed reassuring.
Since he had the Idea of deeper communication, then Yang Le needed to make a serious Effort in helping others this time. Now, unless Loki was not on Earth, Yang Le would definitely be able to find him.
The two chatted briefly for a few more Words and then parted ways. Yang Le got into the Pickup Truck he had rented, while Thor reached out and recalled the Hammer that was pressing on the unknown Hero, and then flew away swinging the Hammer amidst Yang Le's cooperative exclamation of amazement.
By the way, before Thor left, Yang Le told him how to find him, which meant he told Thor the Position of Gwenpool's Base. After all, his and Gwen's Apartment had become a Crime Scene.
And Yang Le, who had been busy for a long Time, finally returned to a Place where he could rest for a while.
Looking at the Garage in front of him, which was covered in Graffiti by Gwen herself, Yang Le was no longer surprised by Gwenpool's erratic aesthetic sense. It must be that she had watched some Comics or TV Drama or something, so she had dirtied and messed up the Walls that had been painstakingly painted clean.
Moreover, no Gang Members would paint a few My Little Pony and SpongeBob SquarePants on the Wall, would they? No way? No way?
After taking out his Communicator and asking Gwenpool to open the Door, Yang Le, with an awkward Expression, slowly drove the Pickup Truck into the Garage amidst a burst of rousing Avengers Theme Song.
"Welcome back, Great Hero."
Yang Le had just gotten out of the car when he heard a familiar Sound greeting him. Looking up, he saw Gwen looking at him with a nervous Expression.
"How is it? Did you miss me?" Gwen lightly tapped her toes, her Right Hand unnaturally twirling the ends of her pink-dyed hair, her Eyes darting around, looking like a Girl in love, and also...
A mischievous, guilty Imp.
"Stop fooling around, Gwenpool," Yang Le said without changing his Expression, walking towards the Truck Bed. He saw through Gwenpool's Disguise with just one Gaze.
"What?" Gwenpool pouted and checked her Appearance. "I think I don't have any Weakness at all. How did you find out?"
"I am a Celestial Energy Mage, Gwenpool," Yang Le said, extending his Index Finger and pointing it at the Money Bag in the Truck Bed. A purple Energy shot out from his Finger and then enveloped the Money Bag.
The Money Bag slowly floated up, and finally followed behind Yang Le as he got out of the car, following his steps towards the inside of the Garage.
"Celestial Energy Mages can sense Deeper Things when they reach a certain Realm. I can sense the subtle differences between you and Gwen, and there's also the most important thing..."
Yang Le walked inside on his own, and Gwenpool quickly followed, asking, "What? What? What's the most important thing?"
"I can't see familiar Things in your Eyes," Yang Le said, not verbally, but his Hand gestured a very Greasy Gesture, which was extremely Greasy for Gwenpool.
"Ew~" Gwenpool frowned, as if she was really disgusted. "Okay, you win."
As soon as Gwenpool finished speaking, a Pretty Figure fell from the Ceiling, her Body light and nimble, making not even a Sound, and took the ten US Dollar that Gwenpool was holding.
"I told you you couldn't fool him," Valeria said, flicking the ten US Dollar in her Hand and then putting it into her Upper Clothes Pocket. Behind her was Gwen, who had just landed.
"How would I know if I didn't try?" Gwenpool reached out and wiped off the Black Mark drawn on her Front Teeth, which she had deliberately drawn to imitate Gwen's uneven Front Teeth.
"Now you know?" Gwen tried to make her tone Peaceful, but she still couldn't hide the Joy contained within.
"I know, I know, Imitating Couple," Gwenpool said, taking the Water handed over by Katie, who had emerged from the Ground. She took a sip and then continued.
"Why didn't Gone with the Wind find you two to act in it?"
"Maybe because we weren't born at that Time?" Yang Le replied, and then used Magic to place a large Bag of Gold Coins on the Ground, making a bang.
"What is this Thing?" Gwen walked forward, originally wanting to say a few Words to Yang Le, but just as she got close, she was startled by the Sound made by the Money Bag. The other Girls were also attracted and looked over.
"This is Donald Duck's Uncle's favorite Thing," Yang Le said with a smile, and then opened the Money Bag, then kicked it, and then found that he couldn't kick it.
"I should have used Magic Enhancement on it," Yang Le said, inhaling sharply and standing on one Leg.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 664: Ben 10 Killed by a Money Bag, and Another Lantern Ring
Thanks to Yang Le's effort, he obtained an injured leg.
Fortunately, Yang Le didn't use too much strength, otherwise it would have been very likely to fracture directly. Luckily Valeria was here, and she upgraded the healing spray invented by Yang Le.
Now the 2.0 version of the healing spray can easily treat this kind of contusion, but Yang Le still got a wheelchair because of this, becoming a two-wheeled weirdo.
"Full recovery will take about four hours." Gwen looked at Yang Le, who was sitting in the wheelchair, devoid of hope, with the eyes of an idiot. "I really don't understand if your brain is filled with water."
"Such a large amount of gold coins stuffed into a small bundle, you can tell how dense it is just by thinking with your toe, plus its weight, it's basically no different from hitting a wall."
"Wow, looks like someone got scolded." Gwenpool poked Valeria beside her with her arm, and the latter also covered her head and kept shaking her head.
"Who would have thought? A superhero who makes many multiverse-level supervillains suffer would actually be seriously injured by a money bag."
Gwenpool counted her fingers, and then jumped up and down with the expression of Magellan discovering a new continent, and said.
"In this way, this seems to be the most serious injury Habby has ever suffered, right? Doesn't this mean that this money bag has accomplished something that so many supervillains couldn't do?"
"Now that you mention it, it seems to be true." Gwen crossed her arms and thought for a while. As far as she knew, it seemed that except for the guy who could turn people into stone statues that she encountered during her first mission, she had never seen Yang Le suffer a setback again.
Even those guys called Celestials that Yang Le mentioned to her before couldn't do it. This does fit a Chinese meme, called capsizing in the gutter.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, I can fully revive in four hours." Yang Le waved his big hand, indicating that he didn't care. If you didn't look at the leg that seemed to be wearing armor, this sentence would still be very convincing.
"Besides, I was originally planning to stay here for a while, this little injury will not affect my next action at all, no impact so it equals I'm not injured."
"Celestials can't erase that mouth of yours." Gwenpool complained.
Ignoring Gwenpool who could attack him with memes, Yang Le waved his fingers and used Celestial Energy magic to manipulate the money bag that single-handedly killed him, and then used Celestial Energy to push the wheelchair towards Valeria.
"Did you bring your laboratory here? I may need to use some equipment inside to build some gadget."
"Even like this you don't plan to take a break." Valeria looked at Gwen, and Yang Le immediately explained when he saw this.
"Don't worry, you also know that this is a minor injury, it won't affect anything."
"Then your gadget shouldn't be in a hurry to be born, right?" Gwen put her hands on the handles of the wheelchair and used her power to forcibly change the wheelchair maintained by Yang Le's Celestial Energy.
"Now it's time to rest."
"I hate super strength." Yang Le said with a dark face, but Gwen behind him was very happy, she was still seeing Yang Le showing such an expression for the first time.
…
After honestly resting for eight hours, don't misunderstand, Valeria's healing spray 2.0 had no problem, Yang Le's foot injury was indeed healed after four hours.
The reason for resting for four extra hours was purely because Gwen fell asleep holding him, and Yang Le, as an ordinary person, couldn't break free from Gwen's embrace at all, so he could only honestly wait until Gwen woke up.
However, whether he couldn't break free or didn't want to break free, we don't know.
In short, after Yang Le could finally walk freely the next morning, Gwen no longer restricted his freedom, and Yang Le could finally go to Valeria's laboratory to mess around.
"You should still remember the 'key' I gave you, right?" Valeria took out a crystal from her upper clothes pocket. "You won't be able to get in if you forget."
"Don't worry, Grey Matter will always have a method." Yang Le confidently pressed the Omnitrix button, and after the white light, a small frog-like creature wearing a lab coat appeared.
"I have to say, little Val." Yang Le in Grey Matter state put his hands behind his back. "Setting the laboratory in a pocket universe and setting unique brainwaves as the key to open the pocket universe, this idea is really great."
"Thank you for the compliment." Valeria curled her lips. "But the person who came up with this method is my dad, I'm just parroting what others say."
"Reed is indeed as amazing as his nickname." Yang Le touched his fingers together. "Among the people I know, there is only one person who can be compared with him."
"If I have the opportunity, I really want to meet that guy named Azmuth." Valeria raised the crystal to the position of her chest. "I rarely see you admire a person so much."
"Rational genius, this is the best evaluation of him." Yang Le nodded in agreement.
"whoosh!"
A strange sound of air being torn sounded, and then a passage composed of several polygons appeared in front of the two of them. This was the entrance to Valeria's personal laboratory. Don't look at it as if it was wide open, it is not easy to enter it.
Just like mentioned just now, Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic, invented a special door lock. Things locked by this special door lock can usually only be opened by his own brainwaves, which is equivalent to limiting it to be exclusive to himself.
But Valeria improved this thing. If the brainwave frequency of the person standing in front of the gate when the door is opened is within the setting range, then you can enter the door.
But even if the condition is relaxed, ordinary people can't enter the laboratory. Randomly adjusting their brainwaves is not something ordinary people can do. Only creatures with strange brains like Grey Matter, or some telepaths, can do it.
After passing through the doorway full of artistic atmosphere, the first thing that caught Yang Le's eyes was the thing emitting green light floating in a glass cover in the distance.
"What is that thing? I remember it wasn't here last time." Yang Le narrowed his eyes, but unfortunately Grey Matter's vision is not specially enhanced, and that thing was still wrapped in light, making it even more impossible for him to see clearly.
"That thing you've been asking me to make." Valeria skillfully sat on a floating chair. "Have you forgotten? It's the thing of the same style as that big red guy."
"You mean a Lantern Ring? You really made it?"
As soon as Valeria finished speaking, Yang Le turned into an afterimage, and with a whoosh, he darted to the glass cover, sticking tightly to the cover and staring at the thing inside.
"Still a Lantern Ring of a different color?"
(End of chapter)
Chapter 665 Hope Blossoms
"That's right, as you said, I made a green Lantern Ring."
Valeria looked very peaceful, but the way she crossed her legs betrayed her, bouncing up and down so much her shoes almost fell off.
"You are really a genius, Little Val!" Yang Le praised Valeria again. Just in such a short time, she could create Lantern Rings representing different emotional power from one Lantern Ring. She truly deserves to be called a genius praised by even Reed Richards and Doctor Doom.
"It's alright." Valeria played with her long hair nonchalantly. "My Dad also contributed a lot. If you want to praise, you should include him as well."
"No need to be modest, Little Val. I know you. If it was really all done by Reed Richards, you definitely wouldn't even mention your own merit. The reason you said you made it yourself means Reed Richards probably only gave some suggestions."
"You speak as if you know me very well." Valeria pouted her little mouth, and in Yang Le's puzzlement gaze, she rolled her eyes at him. Then she straightened up and sat properly, letting the floating chair carry her to Yang Le's side.
"Don't be happy too early. This thing is still just a semi-finished product, just like the previous red Lantern Ring. This thing still doesn't have a stable energy source. Not only is combat power not guaranteed, but even continuous operation is a big problem."
These words didn't discourage Yang Le. After all, the energy source problem of Lantern Rings is inherently a major problem that cannot be avoided. Rather, he would find it strange if Valeria had even solved this.
"Then what about its ability?" Yang Le's excitement didn't diminish. "Is it the same as I described to you?"
"If I remember correctly, it's the same." Valeria clicked a few times on the control panel outside the barrier, and the glass cover opened immediately.
She reached out and grabbed the Power Ring floating in mid-air. The Green Lantern Ring was caught in her hand without any resistance, showing no pride of a Lantern Ring at all.
"If this thing has energy, it can create energy constructs at will based on the wearer's idea. But emotional ability is really too complicated. I can only create a semi-finished product that can consume anything for now."
Yang Le understood Valeria's meaning. The current Green Lantern Ring is just a showy good without substance. It can be green, or it can be red, blue, or purple.
Such a thing is far from being called a Lantern Ring. As just a weapon, it cannot achieve the miracle that only a Lantern Ring can achieve.
"But even so, it's already very impressive." Yang Le sighed again. "You know, it's only been about a week since the last time I asked you. To be able to do this much is already very impressive."
"Actually, saying it's a semi-finished product isn't accurate either." Valeria hesitated for a moment. "The reason this thing isn't a real Lantern Ring is because it hasn't come into contact with real emotional energy yet. As long as it comes into contact with the real Emotional Spectrum containing courage and will, it can be turned into a real Lantern Ring."
Yang Le understood. Valeria's meaning is that she created a blank form. If you want to turn it into a real Lantern Ring, you have to inject the real Emotional Spectrum into it. But where to get this mysterious thing?
Could it be that we can only rely on Alien X to think of a method?
Just when Yang Le was at a loss, the gate of the laboratory opened with a whoosh again, causing Yang Le and Valeria to look up. They saw Franklin Richards walking in, playing with his hair.
"What's wrong? What fun thing are you two doing again? Quickly take it out and let me see."
As soon as Franklin Richards came in, he saw the Lantern Ring in Valeria's hand. Before the two could speak, he flashed to their front. The Lantern Ring that Valeria was holding also fell into his hand.
Looking at Franklin Richards, who was examining the Lantern Ring up and down, Yang Le slapped his leg and said, "Right! Franklin Richards can release any energy in any form. We can let him try to inject Emotional Energy."
"Emotional energy? What thing is that?" Franklin Richards asked curiously.
Valeria explained: "It's the thing mentioned when I asked you to create that pocket universe before. That energy you felt was very annoying is the power of the Anger Spectrum."
"You say that, and I have an impression." Franklin Richards tossed the Lantern Ring up and down. "What? Do you still want that energy?"
"No, Little Val. What we want is something else." Yang Le waved his hand. "Some more positive energy, more suitable for the emotion of righteous characters."
"Something more positive? Let me try."
After Franklin Richards finished speaking, he caught the falling Power Ring. This time, he didn't toss the Lantern Ring up again but held it tightly in his hand, and then he closed his eyes.
Seeing Franklin Richards like this, Yang Le and Valeria stopped speaking and waited quietly for his next move.
After about a few seconds, suddenly a blue light burst out from Franklin Richards' palm. The soft light emerged from his fingers and gradually filled the entire laboratory.
That was a soft light, soft yet extremely strong, blue light, the color full of hope. When Yang Le and Valeria came back to their senses, a crystal-clear blue Power Ring was already lying in Franklin Richards' palm.
"This... how did its color change?" Franklin Richards opened his eyes and looked at the Power Ring in his palm in surprise. He remembered that this thing should have been green before, right?
"That's because the spectrum color represented by the emotion you injected is blue, so it changed its appearance." Yang Le explained. He didn't expect Franklin Richards to create a Blue Lantern Ring.
"Okay, then what does blue represent?" Franklin Richards continued to ask.
"It represents hope." Yang Le said solemnly. "Blue represents hope that will never be extinguished. Quitters can never ignite a Blue Lantern."
"Sounds pretty cool, doesn't it?" Franklin Richards was silent for a while, and then he brought the Power Ring to his eyes. But this time, he was much more serious.
Struggling to survive in a Universe where Brood are rampant and Zombies almost destroyed the entire Universe, Franklin Richards, who never gave up hope even after losing his ability, is indeed qualified to ignite a Blue Lantern Ring representing hope.
"What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger." Franklin Richards murmured in a low voice. "Sometimes you have to admit that those words that seem to be fart are actually very right."
Valeria didn't say words, just silently walked to Franklin Richards' side and hugged him. Only she, as twins, could understand Franklin Richards' difficulties. Franklin Richards also knew that without Valeria, he would definitely not have gone this far.
This hope that supported them to move forward has now blossomed and borne fruit.

Can you guys join my Discord? I'll soon be announcing my website there. I'll upload 10 chapters daily instead of 5, and on the opening day I'll upload 15–25 chapters depending on the novel. The Discord link is on my profile.
