Chapter 255: Red Lantern, Green Lantern, Yellow Lantern
Not long after Su Sheng and Harley Quinn left, a helicopter slowly descended from a distance. Deanna Lance and the others boarded the helicopter and quickly took off, chasing in the direction they had flown.
On the shore, waves crashed against the rocks.
Not long after they left, a head gradually emerged from the sea, with slightly damp red hair and exquisite, stunning features. She narrowed her eyes slightly, surveying the empty shore, then slowly returned to the bottom of the sea.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Deafening explosions suddenly rang out, and smoke instantly rose in the mountains and wilderness.
Guy Gardner, who was flying rapidly, paused slightly, then abruptly accelerated and rushed over, only to see two beams of light flash quickly before his eyes.
One Green Lantern, one Red Lantern.
The Green Lantern was Sinestro, dressed in a Green Lantern uniform, with dark red skin that gave him a stern and cold demeanor. He wielded two long blades materialized from Green Lantern energy. On the other side was an alien dressed in a Red Lantern uniform. His physique was similar to a human's, but he had no skin, or rather, a fleshy cape-like covering. It was dark red, and muscle mass could be clearly seen, giving the impression that he had been flayed.
Green Lantern Sinestro.
Red Lantern leader Atrocitus.
The two seemed to have just engaged in a fierce battle. Guy Gardner was momentarily stunned, then quickly noticed a man in a suit below, his face filled with terror, seemingly scrambling to escape.
"Are you Abin Sur's successor? Go capture that man!" Sinestro, in the midst of battle, saw Guy Gardner and shouted. Guy Gardner paused, then flew directly towards the man.
"Hey, it's alright, you're safe, I…" Guy Gardner had just landed and opened his mouth when the man, as if terrified, suddenly turned and waved his hand.
In his hand, there was a stick.
As soon as the stick was waved, the Green Lantern Ring energy in Guy Gardner's hand was instantly absorbed. The next moment, his uniform disappeared. Guy Gardner was stunned and tried to activate the Green Lantern Ring, but there was no response at all.
"That thing can absorb colored light energy! Don't tell me you're useless without your Lantern Ring's energy!" Sinestro shouted.
Guy Gardner snorted in displeasure and threw a punch at the man.
This man was none other than the missing William Hand.
William Hand looked very flustered, but he somehow, by sheer coincidence, dodged Guy Gardner's attacks several times, which made Guy Gardner feel embarrassed and somewhat annoyed.
"Just lie down quietly!" Guy Gardner roared and pounced fiercely.
Thud!
He didn't catch anything. Guy Gardner fell heavily to the ground, missing completely.
He turned around in surprise, only to see a yellow light, like a circular barrier, engulf William Hand and lift him into the air.
"Yellow Lantern!"
"Yellow Lantern?"
"It's you guys…"
Atrocitus, Sinestro, and Guy Gardner, who were in fierce combat, almost simultaneously looked at Su Sheng and Harley Quinn in the air, especially Harley Quinn.
After all, the Yellow Lantern's attire was very conspicuous.
"No, that's not right, the symbol isn't right!"
Sinestro looked at Harley Quinn and frowned slightly. Although her uniform and abilities were the same, her symbol was different.
"Who are you?"
"Release him!"
Sinestro and Atrocitus stopped fighting and shouted loudly.
William Hand, within the Yellow Lantern energy, instinctively tried to use his wand to absorb the colored light energy. Su Sheng chuckled, "It's so high up. If you're not afraid of falling to your Death, then go ahead."
William Hand instinctively glanced down and quickly stopped.
He was confused about Death, yes, but right now… he wasn't at the point of wanting to commit suicide.
"I can save you and help you get away from them, but I have a condition," Su Sheng said with a light chuckle to William Hand. "Your secret has been exposed. After I take you away, I don't care where you go. You just need to tell me where Hal Jordan's body is, and she will take you away!"
"It's, it's down there," William Hand said.
Su Sheng looked in that direction and quickly spotted a body bag in the jungle. His vision sharpened, and he soon saw Hal Jordan's body inside. It was indeed… quite badly decomposed.
"Take him away."
Su Sheng said to Harley Quinn, and Harley Quinn, without a word, immediately took William Hand and left.
When she left, Atrocitus and Sinestro were not pleased. Although Sinestro didn't know what was special about William Hand, if Red Lantern Atrocitus wanted to catch him, he certainly couldn't be allowed to escape easily. As for Atrocitus's reaction, it was even more intense; his rage could be felt from a distance, and he roared like a missile, charging towards Harley Quinn.
The red light, as if carrying sharp killing intent, instantly rushed towards Harley Quinn.
Whoosh!
Su Sheng instantly blocked Atrocitus's path. Atrocitusfrowned slightly and directly threw a punch. In an instant, Red Lantern energy materialized into a giant axe and chopped directly at Su Sheng.
"Good timing!"
Su Sheng shouted, and Yellow Lantern energy roared out, directly materializing into a longsword that blocked with a clang.
The enraged Atrocitus was momentarily stunned, seemingly not expecting it, but Su Sheng directly swung his sword to attack. Clanging sounds instantly rang out, and within a few moves, Atrocitus was directly knocked down from the sky by Su Sheng's sword. Their strength was comparable, but Su Sheng's skill was definitely superior to Atrocitus's.
These aliens are more adept at relying on their abilities or brute force; they really don't master many of Earth's exquisite combat techniques!
Just as Atrocitus flew down, Sinestro on the other side planned to take the opportunity to pursue Harley Quinn.
"You come back here too!"
Su Sheng sneered, and the Yellow Lantern Ring's energy materialized into a Gatling gun.
Da da da da da da.
The Lantern Ring's energy transformed into bullets and fired wildly.
Sinestro waved his hand and materialized a barrier, but it was instantly pierced, which greatly surprised him and forced him to stop and defend.
Boom!
Atrocitus flew up from the ground again. Su Sheng's Lantern Ring energy split into two, forcefully blocking Atrocitus as well.
One against two.
Yet Su Sheng did not fall into a disadvantage.
Red Lantern, Green Lantern, Yellow Lantern.
Three colors of Lantern Ring energy attacking each other. Even an experienced driver would probably get confused in this situation, right?
Chapter 256: Copying Green Lantern and Red Lantern
Willpower of the Green Lantern, Rage of the Red Lantern, Fear of the Yellow Lantern.
Three Lanterns, three colors, but their abilities are very consistent.
Sinestro is more adept at manifesting various weapons, but mostly cold weapons. Atrocitus only manifests cold weapons. Su Sheng is different; while his imagination isn't particularly rich, he has more tricks up his sleeve than the two of them. Fighting one against two, Su Sheng simply materialized the Lantern Beast Parallaxusing Yellow Lantern energy.
And there were two of them!
As soon as the two Parallaxes appeared, Atrocitus and Sinestro were startled. This thing was the Yellow Lantern's Emotional Embodiment. Sinestro was even more aware that Abin Sur's death was related to Parallax. Although... although this was only materialized with lantern ring energy, both of them could feel it as soon as they started fighting: the materialized Parallax was very strong!
It was completely on par with a real Parallax!
"How, how is this possible? How could he materialize such a powerful Parallax?"
"Damn it!"
Both of them, with their own thoughts, fought with all their might. The materialized entities were just inanimate objects that needed to be controlled. But for Su Sheng, multitasking was not a problem, and even tri-tasking was fine. He controlled the two Parallaxes to fight the two opponents while simultaneously studying the abilities he had just Copied.
The abilities of Red Lantern and Green Lantern.
Rage and Willpower.
The abilities of these two colors of light were very interesting. Willpower, needless to say, was the foundation of Green Lanterns. The stronger the willpower, the stronger the Green Lantern energy. Just based on this, Su Sheng could become the strongest Green Lantern. His willpower could be said to be quite firm; there was nothing that could make him feel fear. Rage, this ability was relatively more like a chicken rib (useless).
This kind of emotion wasn't something you could just imagine and have. Thinking you were angry didn't mean you could truly erupt with angry emotions. After all, with Su Sheng's strength and mindset, there were too few things that could genuinely make him angry. However, the Red Lantern was also very interesting. Various angry emotions arising from hatred or experiencing unfair treatment were included. As long as the anger reached a certain level, there was a possibility of being conscripted and chosen by the lantern ring, then remaining in extreme rage forever. Only by being immersed in the Red Lantern Corps' blood pool was it possible to regain sanity. Once one became a Red Lantern, red energy would replace blood flowing through the body. If injured, the expelled energy would turn into burning fire. This fire could burn in a vacuum, consuming anything combustible or non-combustible, even energy barriers materialized by other lantern rings. Because red energy replaced blood, the ring would also take over the function of the wielder's heart, so even if the wielder lost their heart, they wouldn't die. But, if the lantern ring was removed, they would die due to the loss of their heart; only with the help of Blue Lantern power could they safely detach.
Simply put, the Red Lantern was a double-edged sword with many restrictions and requirements.
This reminded Su Sheng of the Hulk in the Marvel World. If he ever had the chance to return to the Marvel World in the future, he must let Hulk wear a red lantern ring and see how strong that endless rage could make Hulk!
"Idiot, didn't the rookie camp teach you how to replenish your lantern ring energy?" Sinestro saw Guy Gardnerbelow doing nothing but looking surprised, and couldn't help but frown and curse. His Green Lantern energy vibrated slightly, and taking advantage of the moment after Parallax's attack, Sinestro summoned an energy lantern and threw it to Guy Gardner.
Clatter!
Guy Gardner rushed over, picked up the energy lantern, and aimed it at his lantern ring.
A green light lit up.
Guy Gardner began to recite the oath.
In brightest day, in blackest night.
No evil shall escape my sight.
Let those who worship evil's might,
Beware my power, Green Lantern's light!
Guy Gardner's voice grew louder and louder, and the green light became brighter and brighter. The impassioned oath was about to be completed when a huge hammer suddenly smashed over.
Bang!
The hammer directly hit Guy Gardner's head. Guy Gardner instantly grunted and fell to the ground, unconscious. Harley Quinn swayed as she retracted her energy and bent down to pick up the energy lantern.
"So ugly, good thing our Rainbow Corps doesn't need this stuff!" Harley Quinn mumbled, then zipped towards Red Lantern Atrocitus.
Two versus two.
Two Yellow Lanterns against a Red Lantern and a Green Lantern...
"Where is he?"
Harley Quinn didn't need to provoke him; Atrocitusdirectly engaged her.
The two instantly started fighting.
Harley Quinn basically materialized toy-like objects, but their lethality was not weak at all. Unbeknownst to them, the two fought fiercely, with Harley Quinn's excited shouts heard one moment, and Atrocitus's angry roars the next.
With Atrocitus dealing with Harley Quinn, Su Shengcontrolled the two Parallaxes to directly attack Sinestro, which instantly left Sinestro struggling alone.
He would not flinch, nor would he fear.
But he admitted that Su Sheng's lantern ring energy was stronger than theirs, and his control over fear was equally formidable.
"Are you the Rainbow Corps? Although I haven't heard of you, you should know that our Green Lantern Corps' duty is to protect the safety of the universe," Sinestrosaid in a deep voice while fighting.
"Universe police? Hehe, just like a certain country, but what does that have to do with me?"
Boom!
Smoke flashed as Su Sheng used the Witch's magic to teleport behind Sinestro and directly punched him.
Bang!
Sinestro grunted and crashed heavily to the ground, instantly raising a cloud of dust. The two Parallaxes pursued him from left and right, and Su Sheng slowly floated down.
On the ground, in the deep pit.
Sinestro was pinned to the ground by the two Parallaxes, one on his left and one on his right, unable to move. Su Sheng's punch just now made him too painful to concentrate, preventing him from utilizing his lantern ring's energy. Watching Su Sheng slowly descend from the sky, Sinestro anxiously urged his lantern ring, but Su Sheng stepped on his wrist, bent down, smiled, and directly took off his lantern ring.
Swish!
Sinestro's Green Lantern uniform disappeared.
"It's mine!" Su Sheng played with the lantern ring and retracted the materialized Parallaxes. The now-free Sinestro was naturally unwilling to lose his lantern ring like that. He got up and punched towards Su Sheng. Su Sheng slightly turned his body without looking back and gently extended his foot.
Sinestro tripped directly and fell to the ground!
Chapter 257: Red Lantern extinguished, Green Lanternflees.
Sinestro fell face-first to the ground with a grunt, then immediately tried to get up, supporting himself with his hands. Just as he was about to exert force, he felt a foot pressing down on his back. The immense force instantly pinned him tightly to the ground. Su Sheng leisurely stepped over Sinestro, just in time to hear Harley Quinn's annoyed voice from the sky in the distance.
"Oh, why can't you die? Your heart was pierced, and you're still fine!"
Su Sheng's lips curved into a smile, and with a whoosh, he flew into the sky. The impact kicked up dust that sprayed all over Sinestro's face, instantly making him appear dusty and disheveled.
"Red Lanterns are special; the lantern ring can replace their heart, so even if you attack the heart, it's useless. The best way to kill a Red Lantern is to take off their lantern ring," Su Sheng said with a light chuckle to Harley Quinn, simultaneously releasing Green Lanternand Red Lantern energy.
In an instant, two rainbow lantern rings, one red and one green, materialized and appeared on his fingers.
"Like... this!"
Su Sheng smiled sweetly at Harley Quinn. Green Lantern and Red Lantern energy simultaneously materialized long ropes. The two distinctly different colored energy ropes instantly wrapped around Atrocitus's hands, pulling them apart, one to the left and one to the right.
"This... impossible..." Atrocitus looked at Su Sheng in disbelief.
He had clearly used Yellow Lantern energy just now, so how did he suddenly have Green Lantern and Red Lantern as well? He, he used three colors of lantern ring energy? And he could release them simultaneously? This was impossible... 12 It had never been heard of anyone being able to wield two colors of lantern ring energy at the same time! Not just Atrocitus, but Sinestrobelow was also stunned.
"Three, three lantern ring energies? Rainbow Corps, does this mean Rainbow Corps? Could it be that he can even possess the energy of seven lantern rings? Impossible, this is impossible. If such a thing were true, the Guardians couldn't possibly not..." Sinestrosuddenly paused at this thought.
The Guardians of the Universe were the supreme beings of Oa; they formed the Green Lantern Corps. It was said that the Guardians of the Universe originated from Maltus, the earliest intelligent life forms in the universe, possessing advanced technology and civilization a very long time ago. Each Guardian possessed immense power and endless longevity, knowing many mysteries of the universe.
Every Green Lantern believed their words implicitly, except for... Abin Sur.
Others might not know, but Sinestro knew that Abin Sur's death on Earth, besides being related to Parallax, had a more important reason: he was investigating something, something that the Guardians of the Universe denied but Abin Sur had found clues about. Investigating Abin Sur's cause of death? Anyone could do such a thing, even the successor Green Lantern. Why was he specifically assigned? Perhaps there were other reasons involved, which made Sinestro wonder how much the Guardians of the Universe were hiding from them?
Perhaps they also know about the Rainbow Corps?
"You'll regret this… you… you'll regret this…" Atrocitus's shouts interrupted Sinestro's thoughts.
Looking up, he saw Su Sheng using Red Lantern and Green Lantern energy to entangle Atrocitus's hands, while simultaneously manifesting a sword with Yellow Lantern energy and slashing it towards the arm where Atrocitus wore his ring!
Pfft!
The long sword cleanly severed Atrocitus's arm, and scorching red blood spurted out.
Su Sheng instantly withdrew the energy from the three lantern rings, gathering them together to manifest a three-colored shield.
Pfft, chch!
The red blood, capable of burning everything, splattered on the three-colored shield, making a sound but failing to penetrate.
Three colors of light energy, three emotional powers stacked together—this power was not as simple as one plus one plus one equals three!
Harley Quinn caught Atrocitus's severed arm and removed the red lantern ring.
Atrocitus's body fell from the sky and rapidly began to burn.
He was completely incinerated before even hitting the ground.
The red lantern ring in Harley Quinn's hand suddenly emitted a mechanical voice, roughly indicating that Atrocitus had died and the ring would seek a successor.
After speaking, the ring attempted to fly away from Harley Quinn's hand, but she clasped it tightly in her palms with both hands!
"Will I die if I take off the ring?" Harley Quinn asked Su Sheng, dramatically swaying her body while pressing the ring.
"Red Lanterns are quite special," Su Sheng said, then looked down and suddenly noticed a bright green flash.
Sinestro, wearing the ring, disappeared within the green light.
"Interstellar teleportation? The Green Lantern ring does seem to have that function, but… he's using Guy Gardner's ring, isn't he?" Su Sheng glanced at the still-dizzy Guy Gardner and, sure enough, his ring was gone.
"Is Sinestro going back to get reinforcements?"
"Someone's coming," Harley Quinn suddenly said, as a helicopter appeared in the distance.
It was Deanna Lance and her team.
The sudden appearance of the helicopter caused Harley Quinn to slightly relax her guard, and the red lantern ring in her hand broke free and instantly flew away.
"Hey, don't run!" Harley Quinn yelled and tried to chase after it.
"I'll go, you explain the situation to them," Su Shengsaid with a smile, chasing after the red lantern ring!
Two flowers bloom, each telling its own story.
Leaving Harley Quinn to explain the situation to Deanna Lance and the others for now, let's talk about Su Shengchasing after the red lantern ring.
The red lantern ring's speed was incredibly fast, as if it had already chosen its successor with no hesitation whatsoever.
Before long, Su Sheng realized he seemed to be back in Amnesty Bay?
The destination seemed to be a lighthouse in Amnesty Bay?
It was precisely the lighthouse he had seen not far away when he first arrived.
How to describe this place? It was remote and backward.
Su Sheng followed the Red Lantern all the way, and seeing it seemed to intend to fly into the lighthouse, he suddenly accelerated and instantly caught up.
With a grab, Su Sheng seized the Red Lantern.
Feeling the Red Lantern's desire to break free, Su Sheng's lips curved slightly, and he squeezed hard.
Crack!
A crisp cracking sound rang out; the Red Lantern was actually crushed by Su Sheng's fingers.
Clatter.
The fragments of the red lantern ring scattered and fell to the ground, and Su Sheng narrowed his eyes, looking towards the lighthouse.
Inside the lighthouse.
A burly, bare-chested man was cursing something, looking very angry.
"This age, this place, this is… Arthur Curry?" Su Shengnarrowed his eyes, observing him.
Arthur Curry?
This name doesn't sound particularly special, does it?
But his codename is impressive: Aquaman!
The King of Atlantis.
A hybrid of human and Atlantean, one of the seven founders of the Justice League.
"The Red Lantern actually chose Aquaman? At this time, Aquaman probably doesn't know his identity yet, right? So was he chosen by the Red Lantern because he was too angry about something else?" Su Shengmumbled, becoming interested, and used Martian Manhunter's ability to directly phase through the lighthouse and enter.
Bang!
As soon as he entered, he saw the bare-chested man had just smashed something onto the ground.
The sound was crisp and deafening.
"Who are you?"
Su Sheng phased through the lighthouse to enter, and the bare-chested man asked cautiously in a deep voice.
Not bad.
He didn't lose his mind due to anger?
Su Sheng chuckled and looked him up and down.
"Are you Arthur Curry?"
"How do you know my name? Who exactly are you?" Arthur Curry asked with a gloomy expression, while slowly reaching for something nearby, seemingly intending to use it as a weapon?
"Who I am isn't important; what's important is that I think highly of you!" Su Sheng chuckled.
"So I plan to offer you a job."
"Not interested!"
Arthur Curry wasn't stupid; someone inexplicably phasing through a wall into his room and talking about offering a job—how could he easily believe and accept that?
Chapter 258: Aquaman Gone?
"Not interested? That won't do!" Su Sheng chuckled, completely unconcerned by Arthur Curry's reaction, and calmly continued: "Atlantis on Earth Two didn't sink into the sea; it's a very famous city.
I'll send you there; you can have much better living conditions over there."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand!" Arthur Curry frowned.
"You'd better leave here immediately, or I won't be polite."
"Calling it a job isn't quite accurate, because I just want to send you away and don't plan to arrange anything for you, but you can rest assured, you definitely won't lack money." Su Sheng acted as if he hadn't heard Arthur Curry's words, walking to the side and using Firestorm's ability.
In an instant, everything he touched turned golden, becoming pure gold.
This made Arthur Curry's mouth drop open, stunned.
"You, what kind of magic is this?" Arthur Curry asked in surprise, subconsciously testing it, and was astonished to find that it was pure gold!
"Magic? Magic can't do that!" Su Sheng said with a light laugh.
"To be honest, I just had a whim, but since I encountered you, I have to do something.
If you accept, I'll send you and these things over; you should be able to sell these things and have a large sum of money to start a new life!"
"If you don't accept…" Su Sheng looked Arthur Curry up and down, then suddenly smiled softly.
"It doesn't matter if you don't accept; you can't make the decision anyway!"
"Are you f*cking crazy? You inexplicably show up at my house saying all this inexplicable stuff, who the f*ck do you think you are?"
Clearly, Aquaman Arthur Curry also had a fiery temper, and hearing Su Sheng's almost nonsensical words made his already angry state even more furious.
His thick arm swung a punch directly at Su Sheng's face with almost no hesitation.
Hmm.
Like a street brawl, there was almost no technique, completely wild.
As soon as Arthur Curry made his move, Su Sheng had at least dozens of ways to instantly knock him down.
But he didn't do that, just as he said earlier, it was merely a whim.
Following the red lantern ring led him to Aquaman Arthur Curry, and then he suddenly had the idea of sending Aquaman to Earth Two.
Although Aquaman didn't display much value in the Justice League, he was still one of the seven founders and the future King of Atlantis.
Removing him would likely change many things, especially his future wife, the Queen of Atlantis, Mera!
He forgot when it was, but before he transmigrated, Su Sheng had seen a photo of Mera.
How to describe it? Stunning!
Although not as impressive as Diana, her ability to leave Su Sheng amazed and deeply impressed speaks volumes about her extraordinary qualities.
If it weren't for the Green Lantern Ring incident, Su Sheng wouldn't have come to Amnesty Bay, and he might not have even thought of Mera or Arthur Curry's affairs.
But since he happened to be there and remembered, it was naturally a different story.
So, when Arthur Curry swung a punch at Su Sheng like a street thug, Su Sheng raised his hand and released the Green Lantern Ring's energy.
In an instant, the Green Lantern Ring transformed into a balloon-shaped barrier, trapping him inside.
Then, Su Sheng waved his hand, opening a Shockwave Wormhole to Earth Two and directly throwing him in.
Whoosh!
The future King of the Seas, Arthur Curry, was thrown in, and the Shockwave Wormhole instantly vanished.
"Why bother!" Su Sheng shook his head, then turned around, transforming all the pure gold items back to their original forms, and they slowly floated out of the lighthouse.
Looking at the endless ocean, Su Sheng chuckled, "I'll come back after I've dealt with the Lantern Corps."
With that, Su Sheng flew off with a boom.
The lighthouse was utterly silent.
It wasn't until dusk gradually fell that faint, sporadic sounds came from the seaside.
Under the agile moonlight, a head slowly emerged from the sea.
Her wet, red hair draped over her shoulders as she gradually rose from the seabed.
Her alluring curves, a tight, scale-like emerald green bodysuit, perfectly showcased her enchanting and flawless figure, like a mermaid.
Under the moonlight, she came to the shore and quietly approached the lighthouse.
After a while, a surprised cry was heard, and then she rushed out, leaped back into the sea, and quickly disappeared.
Night fell, and the moonlight was hazy.
Inside Carol Ferris's villa.
Carol Ferris lay on her bed in her pajamas, looking helpless.
The sounds coming from next door kept her wide awake.
Hal Jordan's body had been reburied, and the Green Lantern who had lost his Green Lantern Ring was taken into custody by Tianyan Society, which was also urgently searching for William Hand's whereabouts.
After Su Sheng left, Harley Quinn had told them everything, and although some parts were jumbled, the basic situation was clear.
A powerful Green Lantern had escaped, and it was unknown what situation they would face next.
Therefore, Carol Ferris felt that Su Sheng should stay so that they could cope with any unexpected situations.
But now, Carol Ferris truly regretted it.
Who would have thought that Su Sheng and Harley Quinn would be so… so inconsiderate?
They were so unrestrained in someone else's house, especially Harley Quinn's voice—oh my god, it was as if it was happening right next to her ear, so shameless!
However…
Su Sheng was just that kind of unrestrained person, wasn't he?
Although Carol Ferris was cursing, she didn't notice that her breathing was gradually becoming more rapid.
Even though the weather was cool and she was wearing light pajamas, she still felt a bit stuffy and hot.
A high, passionate sound suddenly erupted, gradually fading after ten seconds.
The surroundings finally quieted down.
Carol Ferris let out a long breath, tidied her hair, closed her eyes, and prepared to fall into a deep sleep.
Next door.
Harley Quinn clung tightly to Su Sheng's arm, lying on him, refusing to get off.
Her head rested beside Su Sheng's, and she whispered, "Let's just sleep like this."
"If you can fall asleep, then suit yourself," Su Shengreplied with a chuckle.
Harley Quinn giggled and actually intended to sleep like that, and she really did fall asleep…
In the early morning, sunlight streamed over them.
Carol Ferris stretched, rolled over, pulled back the bed curtains completely, and left the bedroom.
As soon as she stepped out, her expression froze.
"There's… there's still noise? Oh my god! Are they crazy? It was so late last night, and then first thing in the morning…" Carol Ferris exclaimed in surprise.
...
PS: I finished writing at 2:30 AM.
I'm both drunk and sleepy, but at least I can schedule it so it won't delay the noon update.
Also, here's a beautiful picture of Mera; if it's censored, you can search for it yourself.
Chapter 259: Various Corps All Dispatched
"Morning!"
Su Sheng came out after showering and greeted Carol Ferris in the living room with a smile.
Carol Ferris forced a stiff smile.
"Morning?" she thought.
"It's almost noon, isn't it?" she muttered under her breath.
Carol Ferris then asked Su Sheng, "That Green Lanternwho lost his ring said that you… let William Hand go? Is that true?"
"Yes," Su Sheng nodded and smiled.
"Why?" Carol Ferris looked at Su Sheng, frowning in confusion.
"You know what he did to Hal Jordan.
Why would you let him go?"
"He still has a purpose," Su Sheng chuckled.
Killing or capturing William Hand would be easy, but there's no guarantee he would still follow his original trajectory, becoming Black Hand, who extinguishes the light, and the owner of the first black lantern ring.
He walked over to Carol Ferris, put his arm around her waist, and led her to the window, facing the sunlight outside.
"Yellow Lantern, Green Lantern, and Red Lantern have already appeared on Earth.
It won't be long before more Lanterns, Lanterns of other colors, appear because of William Hand.
So, he has to live according to his normal trajectory."
As Su Sheng spoke, he suddenly thought of the Legend Team.
They hadn't appeared for a long time.
He had changed history quite a bit, but they still hadn't come out to cause trouble.
That didn't fit their style, did it?
Wandal Savage had been killed by him.
Did they have other missions, or were they dealing with the Time Lord Council?
"Why! You know he'll cause such trouble, so why do you still let the situation develop?" Carol Ferris asked, somewhat angrily.
"Because, therefore, scientific reasoning!" Su Shengchuckled, pinching her waist.
"There are so many troubles in this world; can you worry about all of them?
Just handle your own affairs."
With that, Su Sheng turned and went to the courtyard, preparing to bask in the sun and study the abilities of the Red Lantern and Green Lantern he had just acquired.
Su Sheng knew that people from other Lantern Corps would appear soon, but the timing was even faster than he had anticipated.
After Sinestro took Guy's Green Lantern Ring and escaped back to Oa, he immediately went to see the Guardians and told them about Su Sheng and the Rainbow Corps.
It turned out that even the Guardians had never heard of the Rainbow Corps before.
According to Sinestro's analysis, this Su Sheng might possess the ability to Copy Green Lantern Rings and could simultaneously wield the powers of Yellow Lantern, Green Lantern, and red lantern rings.
The Guardians had never heard of such a situation.
After much thought, they decided to send Sinestro with the Lantern Corps to Earth to have a good talk and clarify the situation, at least to bring back Abin Sur's body and the successor Green Lantern.
However, the Green Lantern Corps was not the only one taking action.
Atrocitus's death was unacceptable to the Red Lantern Corps.
The Red Lantern Corps, which is primarily driven by rage, became even more furious upon learning of their leader's death.
Bleez, the second-in-command of the Red Lantern Corps, immediately flew to Earth.
Before joining the Red Lantern Corps, Bleez was a princess of Havania, belonging to a flying race there, and possessed some strength even before obtaining the red lantern ring.
The deployment of the Green Lantern Corps and Red Lantern Corps prompted members of other corps, for various reasons, to also rush to Earth.
The peace of this blue planet might soon be shattered.
The Green Lantern Corps was the first to arrive on Earth, directly teleporting to Earth via their Green Lantern Rings' interstellar transmission.
The sudden appearance of dozens of Green Lanterns, densely packed and varied in appearance, did not cause much commotion, as they appeared in a very remote area.
Sinestro instructed most of the Green Lanterns to scatter across the world to find the person named William Hand, retrieve the magical staff in his hand that could absorb and eliminate light energy, and then took the remaining people to find Su Sheng or retrieve Abin Sur's body from the Earthlings.
Swish, swish, swish!
Green light instantly flew in all directions.
"The Green Lantern Corps has arrived." The sunlight was blocked.
Su Sheng and Harley Quinn, lying on lounge chairs, slightly opened their eyes to see Carol Ferris standing beside them, looking solemn.
"They arrived quite quickly," Su Sheng said lazily.
"There are a lot of them.
A large portion of the Green Lanterns have scattered across the world, seemingly looking for someone.
Some of them have stayed in Coast City and have already caused a significant impact.
The Green Lantern who escaped earlier took people to a military experimental base, wanting to take the Green Lantern Corps' spaceship and also wanting to see you!" Carol Ferris said quickly and efficiently.
Su Sheng nodded and got up, but Harley Quinn lay down again.
"Darling, I'm so sleepy."
"Then you can continue to sleep.
Anyway, it's just the Green Lantern Corps; there probably won't be much fun," Su Sheng said, embracing Carol Ferris.
His Wave Transmission ability released, reflecting the location of the laboratory in Carol Ferris's mind, then he threw out a Shockwave Wormhole and went straight over.
Swish!
As soon as Su Sheng appeared, he saw the conspicuous Green Lantern Corps floating in the sky.
Several Green Lanterns whose names Su Sheng didn't remember but looked familiar were also among them, staying by Sinestro's side.
Upon seeing Su Sheng and Carol Ferris appear, the military personnel at the laboratory secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they also knew that Su Sheng was a very, very dangerous person, right now… Earth needed dangerous people.
Sinestro slowly descended from the sky, and after landing, he slowly began to speak.
"We learned some things from Abin Sur's spaceship, regarding the light energy.
It doesn't matter whether you are the leader of the Rainbow Corps or a Guardian; this matter concerns all corps of light energy."
"Have you heard of the Book of Oa?
That is our…"
"Let's skip the long speech.
I don't want to waste such good weather on your nonsense," Su Sheng said.
Having already Copied the Green Lantern Ring's ability, Su Sheng no longer had a strong interest in the Green Lanterns.
"The Book of Oa contains an ancient prophecy called Blackest Night.
It warns of the dangers faced by those who use the Emotional Spectra, also known as the light energy.
The light of the Emotional Spectra will surely rise: the searing pain of rage for Red, the glorious avarice for Orange, the difficult fire of fear for Yellow, the shining hope for Blue, the scorching compassion for Indigo, the fragrant love for Violet, and at the center of the seven colors, the courageous will for Green!
And the unknown darkness, with insatiable desires, will also rise with the light, bringing ruin to all living beings!"
"Darkness is about to descend!"
Abin Sur encountered Atrocitus, the leader of the Red Lantern Corps, while investigating this matter, and from Atrocitus, he learned about the Blackest Night. William Hand, whom you previously let go, is the key to that prophecy coming true. I don't think you'd want to see something like that happen on Earth."
Sinestro paused, then said to Su Sheng, "I hope you will no longer hinder the Green Lantern Corps from apprehending William Hand, and that you will return Abin Sur's body and my Power Ring to me!"
"Alright," Su Sheng replied with a brilliant smile.
Sinestro was stunned.
He agreed so easily?
"I won't hinder you from apprehending William Hand, and they will return Abin Sur's body to you. As for your Power Ring… I'm afraid you'll have to take it back yourself, if you can," Su Sheng continued.
Sinestro frowned and snorted coldly, looking at the people behind Su Sheng.
"His body is in…" The person behind him subconsciously began to speak.
Before he could finish, an Indigo light flashed in the sky, and a female alien holding a staff, wearing a very revealing Indigo Lantern uniform, descended from the sky, landing with a thud in front of everyone.
"Indigo Light of Compassion!" Sinestro frowned, looking at the newcomer. "Indigo, what are you doing here?!"
Indigo held her staff and looked around, her voice carrying a tone of pity and compassion. "I came to see him."
"Him" referred to Abin Sur.
Sinestro's expression was solemn. As Abin Sur's close friend, he knew some things. This Indigo was connected to Abin Sur. A long time ago, Indigo was Abin Sur's archenemy, and Abin Sur's daughter died by her hand. Later, Abin Sur created a Power Ring tribe on Nok, imprisoning criminals and using Indigo Light energy to instill compassion in them, thereby transforming them towards good.
This was the origin of the Qingdeng Tribe, and Indigowas the leader of the Qingdeng Tribe.
The Qingdeng Tribe was neutral in nature, not particularly strong, and very low-key, yet few people dared to provoke them. They used compassion as energy, and their Indigo Power Rings could borrow, connect, or transform the energy of other Power Rings. They were very skilled in staff-based combat combined with colored light energy. Most importantly, the unique nature of Indigo Light's compassion meant that once caught, one could be brainwashed and then transformed into a member of the Qingdeng Tribe.
Yes.
Brainwashing!
What sensing compassion, turning over a new leaf? In Sinestro's view, it was brainwashing.
First the Green Lanterns, and then an Indigo Lantern appeared? The sudden appearance of so many aliens made the already anxious government scientists even more terrified. Without anyone needing to speak, someone quietly turned around and transported Abin Sur's body out. A specially made transparent coffin? From the outside, Abin Sur's body seemed to be well-preserved, but… this couldn't fool Sinestro and Indigo, who could tell at a glance that it had been dissected.
This made Sinestro extremely angry, and he glared fiercely.
Indigo then slowly spoke. "When one dies, everything ends. Perhaps he didn't know, but you… lack compassion. Let me help you!"
With that, Indigo raised her staff, and in an instant, Indigo light flared, transforming into several tentacle-like energy strands that lunged at the scientists. The scientists tried to flee in panic but were instantly entangled by the Indigo Light energy. In that moment, the scientists' movements stopped directly, their expressions gradually becoming somewhat dazed, and their eyes unfocused.
"What did you do to them?" Carol Ferris cried out in alarm, pulling Su Sheng, wanting him to help.
Su Sheng, however, didn't move at all, instead watching the scientists with interest. Seeing this, Carol Ferriscould only anxiously rush over herself, trying to help those people, but Indigo suddenly retracted her Power Ring energy.
"Are you alright?" Carol Ferris asked, stunned and hurried.
The scientists shook their heads slightly, appearing very calm, their expressions even carrying a hint of sorrowful compassion.
"You, you…"
Carol Ferris was stunned at the sight; she could feel that these people were different.
"As expected of Indigo Light, this method of brainwashing and instilling compassion is indeed impressive. How about… you try it on me?" Su Shengsuddenly clapped his hands and chuckled, saying to Indigo.
Indigo turned her head to look at Su Sheng and slowly said, "May the light of compassion spread over you."
With a gentle tap of her staff, Indigo Light energy instantly rushed towards Su Sheng.
Su Sheng's lips curved slightly.
"Copy!"
Feeling the Indigo Light's energy, Su Sheng chuckled inwardly and directly Copied it. Then, he directly superimposed and sent it back.
Indigo Light energy instantly burst from his hand, countering back.
Although the Power Ring hadn't yet materialized, Su Sheng materializing a Power Ring was just for fun, just like the Iron Man Armor; even without it, there was no impact whatsoever.
Indigo, who had always been calm, was instantly surprised to see Su Sheng also releasing Indigo Light energy. When the two Indigo Light energies collided, Indigo found that the other party was even stronger than herself. Seeing her own energy slowly being pushed back, Indigo's staff suddenly lit up. The next moment, the Green Power Rings in the hands of Sinestro and others suddenly lit up and surged towards Su Sheng.
Indigo borrowed the Green Lantern's energy!
"Using someone else's energy isn't much fun." Su Shengchuckled and suddenly released the energy of other Power Rings.
Red, Green, Yellow.
The three colors of energy converged with the IndigoLight energy, transforming into four colors, then blasted out fiercely.
Bang!
A tremendous force suddenly erupted, instantly knocking the Green Lanterns in the air and the surrounding people off their feet, sending them stumbling backward.
At the center of the explosion.
Four-color Power Ring light enveloped Indigo. Her expression constantly changed, at times ferocious, at times angry, at times compassionate, at times resolute, as if emotions were constantly alternating within her. After a long while, the four-color Power Ring light disappeared. Indigo slowly lowered her staff, took off her Indigo Power Ring, walked towards Su Sheng, and handed it to him. Su Sheng took it, toyed with it a few times, chuckled, and applied force.
Crack!
The Indigo Power Ring shattered!
The fragments scattered on the ground. Su Shengactivated Indigo Light energy and directly materialized an Indigo Power Ring of the Rainbow Corps.
"This is your new Power Ring!" Su Sheng said with a smile, handing it to Indigo. Indigo took it and slowly put it on; her uniform instantly changed.
From Su Sheng and Indigo's confrontation to Indigochanging allegiances, this series of events left the surrounding people dumbfounded.
Chapter 261: Subduing the Lantern Beast, Changing Indigo Light
"Four colors of light now. Still missing Orange, Blue, and Violet. Then the abilities of the Seven Lantern Corps will be complete." Su Sheng materialized another IndigoPower Ring and put it on his hand, a slight smile on his lips. Sinestro said that the Blackest Night was about to descend, and after the Blackest Night would be the Brightest Day, meaning that besides the Seven Lanterns, he could also Copy the Black Lantern and White Lantern along the way.
Beep beep beep!
The Power Ring in Sinestro's hand suddenly chimed. He looked down, and his face turned extremely grim.
"Several Green Lanterns have fallen. You stay and watch Abin Sur's body, the rest of you come with me." Sinestro said to the Green Lanterns beside him, then flew away with a boom. The other Green Lanterns naturally followed closely.
"William Hand?" Su Sheng chuckled, placing his hand on Indigo's shoulder and using Wave Transmission to sense.
"Found him."
A moment later, Su Sheng chuckled and directly released a Shockwave Wormhole, taking Indigo with him and vanishing.
"Where are you going?" Carol Ferris shouted anxiously, but they were already gone.
Nok Star.
The Qingdeng Tribe's base planet.
This was a remote and desolate planet, and somewhere on this planet was the Qingdeng Tribe's main energy source.
A massive, spherical, Indigo-colored energy body.
Floating within this energy body was a deep blue creature, shaped like an Octopus with multiple giant arms.
The embodiment of the Green Lantern's power of compassion, the Green Lantern's Lantern Beast.
Proselyte Octopus!
It wasn't as ugly and terrifying as Parallax; although its appearance wasn't entirely normal, it gave off a gentle and compassionate feeling. Even the most heinous criminals would repent their evil deeds and develop strong compassion when near it. Su Sheng was no exception, but because he had Copied the Green Lantern ring's ability, the effect on him was not significant.
"Are you a new Green Lantern member?"
"Are you also here to ask me for a Green Lantern ring?"
"You are very special; I sense that you possess the will of compassion."
A voice suddenly echoed in Su Sheng's mind, and then he saw the Proselyte Octopus in the main energy source float and turn to face Su Sheng. Its tentacles wiggled slightly as if waving hello.
"Proselyte Octopus?" Su Sheng tentatively asked.
As his voice fell, the voice echoed in his mind again. It was indeed the Proselyte Octopus.
Su Sheng smiled.
He turned to signal Qing Nü to retreat, and his eyes gradually turned crimson.
Boom!
The heat ray directly struck the Green Lantern's main energy source. The sizzling sound of burning continued for a moment, then a loud bang was heard, and the main energy source directly exploded.
The enormous sound was exceptionally loud, and several rays of Green Lantern light quickly flew over from a distance.
Without Su Sheng needing to say anything, Qing Nüinstantly went to meet them.
Although she was still a Green Lantern with the power of compassion, she was already a Green Lantern within the Rainbow Corps. The Green Lantern possesses this ability, this kind of brainwashing, even the ability to change religious beliefs. This is also why the Lantern Beast is called Proselyte Octopus—Proselyte, meaning to change one's religion.
"I sense greed."
The Proselyte Octopus floated out of the main energy source and stared at Su Sheng.
"Greed? I haven't even obtained the Orange Lantern Ring's ability yet. But your sensing is correct; I plan to have you keep Parallax company." Su Sheng chuckled lightly and began to materialize the drifting bottle.
"You, you deceived me!"
Previously, it clearly sensed the power of compassion, but now it was gone, different. This made the Proselyte Octopus appear very angry. Although it was the last emotional entity to be born, it was not weak. In an instant, the Proselyte Octopus's tentacles lashed out and simultaneously activated its ability. It wanted to convert Su Sheng!
"Copying the Lantern Beast's ability is indeed better than the ring's ability. Thanks!" Su Sheng burst into laughter and instantly activated the Proselyte Octopus's ability, doubling it to block its attack. At the same time, the shrinking beam shot out.
The Proselyte Octopus instantly shrank.
The moment it shrank, Su Sheng reached out, grabbed its small tentacle, lifted it, and threw it directly into the drifting bottle, closing the lid.
Bang bang bang!
Like Parallax, the Proselyte Octopus also tried to escape but failed. Moreover, this drifting bottle was different from Parallax's; it was materialized with soundproofing to prevent it from making noise through mental communication. After putting away the Proselyte Octopus, Su Sheng turned to look at Qing Nü. At this moment, Qing Nü seemed to have already dealt with the Green Lanterns of the Qingdeng Tribe, making these people, who had originally transformed from criminals into Green Lanterns, change their allegiance and believe in the Rainbow Corps again.
This kind of brainwashing and control is truly terrifying!
Su Sheng had no intention of helping them change their Lantern Rings. Anyway, Qing Nü's Lantern Ring could continuously receive energy from him, and she could use this energy to replenish the energy of other members. After wandering around on this planet, Su Shengreturned directly to Earth.
He didn't bring Qing Nü back, letting her develop freely as the Green Lantern of the Rainbow Corps.
Absorbing colored light, releasing light beams.
William Hand, wearing a uniform made from a black body bag and wielding a magic wand, wantonly slaughtered Green Lanterns. Watching those powerful Green Lanterns become as weak as ants before him and being killed one by one, William Hand was uncontrollably excited. "Disappear, let all colored light disappear, welcome darkness, welcome Death!"
The last Green Lantern beside him died miserably under the magic wand's beam, and William Hand pursed his lips, his expression almost maniacal.
He laughed hysterically and madly, then turned and left.
He was addicted to Death, increasingly fascinated by Death.
He needed more, stronger emotions of Death.
He thought of his family!
"They should bring me stronger emotions of Death, right?" William Hand seemed to hear a voice softly whispering about Death and darkness in his ear, which made his thoughts grow stronger and stronger. He knew that something unusual was about to happen, but he had no intention of stopping it.
He arrived at his parents' house, knocked on the door, and raised his magic wand!
When Sinestro and the other Green Lanterns arrived, the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood, and an aura of decay, Death, and darkness permeated the surroundings, causing people to involuntarily feel moved.
"Charge!" Sinestro lightly shouted, and the Green Lanterns rushed forward.
Before long, screams and dazzling beams of light lit up.
Chapter 262: The Terrified Qiong Mu'en and the Enraged Mera
Disciple.
The Shockwave Wormhole lit up, and Su Sheng leaped out.
"You, you're back." Qiong Mu'en was stunned and greeted him somewhat reservedly.
Su Sheng nodded and walked towards the collection room.
He found a spacious spot on the display cabinet, placed the Proselyte Octopus down, and then Su Sheng turned and walked out.
Returning to the control room, Qiong Mu'en handed him a cup of coffee.
Su Sheng took it, took a sip, and sat down casually, saying, "Your coffee is good, but… do you only make coffee?"
"I…" Qiong Mu'en lowered her head, at a loss. Of course, she knew how to do more than just make coffee, but she knew that her talents were nothing in Su Sheng's eyes. As an archaeologist, Qiong Mu'en remained in the Tianyan Society due to her dual identity as a witch. Now that the witch had disappeared, she couldn't return to the Tianyan Society, which left her very confused.
Very confused about the future.
"If it's too much trouble, I can leave." Qiong Mu'enwhispered.
"Angry?" Su Sheng put down his coffee cup and said faintly.
Angry?
Qiong Mu'en was startled, seemingly not understanding.
You're just an archaeologist, yet you were forced to join the Tianyan Society, restricted and monitored. Although the warrant for your arrest has been withdrawn, you'll still face many troubles because of it. Aren't you angry? You have to endure all this just because of the Witch. Don't you feel rage?"
"The Witch feels that humanity betrayed her and is filled with rage."
"But whether it's you or the Witch, I can't feel any anger from either of you right now." Su Sheng said as he materialized a red lantern ring.
Su Sheng stood up and walked towards the somewhat dazed Qiong Mu'en, reaching out to brush her golden hair. As she trembled, his hand moved down her slender, pale neck. Qiong Mu'en's hands clenched tightly, and she bit her lip, but she dared not resist, dared not make a sound.
"Rip!"
Her clothes were forcefully torn open by Su Sheng, and the startled Qiong Mu'en instinctively tried to pull away.
"Don't move!" Su Sheng said softly, and Qiong Mu'eninstantly stopped.
"Nice figure. Since you can't do anything but make coffee, then be my body pillow." Su Sheng brazenly looked her up and down and touched her, but Qiong Mu'en gritted her teeth and remained silent.
Fear!
Su Sheng could feel the aura of fear emanating from her, and he narrowed his eyes, absorbing it.
Slap!
Su Sheng suddenly pulled Qiong Mu'en and pushed her onto the nearby table, where she lay prone.
"It's stronger. This energy of fear is addicting. You're afraid. The fear emanating from you carries that trembling, cowardly aura. Without the Witch, you can't do anything. If you leave me, you won't even know how to live, because you know the Tianyan Society let you go and didn't pursue you out of respect for me. If you leave me, your only fate will be to be captured by the Tianyan Society. So you're afraid but dare not resist, and you don't even dare to show a trace of anger."
"You… are truly pitiful!"
Su Sheng raised his hand and released the red lantern ring; it floated in the air but showed no intention of approaching Qiong Mu'en.
She had no anger, so she could not be chosen by the Lantern Ring.
"You're truly pathetic!" Su Sheng whispered in her ear, using his knee to forcefully part her legs.
She panicked, she was scared.
The sense of fear grew stronger.
But the red lantern ring remained motionless.
Even Laura was incredibly angry back then, but Qiong Mu'en didn't have even a hint of anger, only fear? Su Sheng shook his head, somewhat bored, his expression becoming casual and indifferent.
"Ah…"
A cry of pain suddenly rang out.
Su Sheng galloped on.
Although Qiong Mu'en's personality made Su Shengfeel a bit bored, her body was comparable to a supermodel. After a long, long time.
Qiong Mu'en collapsed to the ground, limp. Su Shengstraightened his clothes and pants, preparing to retrieve the red lantern ring.
With a wave of his hand, the red lantern ring flew towards him.
"Oh?"
The red lantern ring flew towards Su Sheng but suddenly veered in the air and flew towards the cabin door.
"It flew away? Did the Lantern Ring automatically find a suitable wielder?" Su Sheng's eyebrows rose, instantly piqued. Although he could have forced Qiong Mu'en to wear the red lantern ring, there was no fun in that. Now that the ring had found a suitable person on its own, Su Sheng was quite curious.
Who could it be?
Su Sheng turned and followed the red lantern ring as it flew out.
Whoosh!
A red light streaked across the sky, speeding along for an unknown duration before suddenly beginning a rapid descent.
Amnesty Bay, in the lighthouse.
Mera's hands were tightly clenched, her expression unusually furious.
He was gone, Arthur Curry was truly gone.
The Queen had asked her to secretly look after Arthur Curry's safety, but now he was missing. Who, who dared to abduct the son of Her Majesty the Queen of Atlantis, who could it be?!
Bang!
The sound of breaking glass suddenly rang out. Merainstantly adopted a defensive stance and saw a ring enveloped in red light hovering before her.
"What is this?" Mera was stunned.
"Intelligent life form locked. Earth, Atlantean, Mera."
"Your heart is surging with rolling rage! You belong to the Rainbow Corps, the Red Lantern!"
A mechanical voice emanated from the ring. Before Mera could figure out what was happening, the ring automatically slipped onto her hand.
"With boiling blood and crimson rage, where a wife's bones lie cold and unburied. Deep hatred sears the heart, forging your path to the Yellow Springs!"
This oath appeared in Mera's mind, repeating over and over, making her feel a burning rage. She began to chant it aloud.
"Boom!"
As her oath fell, her original emerald-green, scale-like uniform disappeared, replaced by a tight red uniform. This uniform still had a scale-like design, and the prominent 'Saint' emblem on the raised chest was particularly eye-catching. In that instant, Mera seemed to feel countless pieces of information Surge into her mind. After a long moment, she knew what the ring was and what had happened to her.
Red Lantern!
Red Lantern of the Rainbow Corps!
She would wield anger as her power, possessing immense strength.
"No matter who you are, I will find you, find Arthur Curry. I will make you… face my wrath!" Mera roared, instantly soaring into the air.
Red light shot into the sky.
The lighthouse roof was directly pierced, and then Merawas seen flying out rapidly.
"It's Mera!" Not long after she flew off, Su Sheng's figure quietly appeared in the lighthouse.
It seems Mera's anger was due to the disappearance of the King of the Sea, and as a result, she was chosen by the Lantern Ring to become a Red Lantern. He wondered what Mera's reaction would be if she discovered that it was him, the guardian and creator of the Rainbow Corps, who had taken the King of the Sea?
"This feeling of anger, it's great!" Su Sheng narrowed his eyes and let out a comfortable, long laugh.
He felt the angry emotions generated by Meracontinuously pouring into his body through the Lantern Ring. That feeling was like being on drugs, much more powerful than the fear energy he had just absorbed from Qiong Mu'en!
Chapter 263: The Fleeing Black Lantern and Bane's Resurrection
"Ring-ring-ring…"
The annoying ringing of the phone interrupted Su Sheng's enjoyment of the fire of rage brought by Mera.
He frowned, answered the call, and said unhappily, "If what you say doesn't interest me, no matter who you are… I will kill you."
"…"
Carol Ferris on the other end of the phone seemed to be startled by Su Sheng's words, the terrifying anger in his voice made her tremble a few times.
What was wrong with him?
Why did he sound so angry?
Suppressing her breath and calming down, Carol Ferristhen said in a low voice, "William, William Hand killed most of the Green Lanterns.
When Sinestro brought people over, he said William Hand had changed.
Fortunately, a few members of the Blue Lantern Corpsappeared and took him away.
After that… William Hand committed suicide."
"Oh? When?"
"Just now."
As Carol Ferris's voice fell, Su Sheng released a Shockwave Wormhole and instantly arrived at William Hand's home.
Patches of blood on the ground had already formed a lake, and several corpses lay scattered and tragically dead on the ground, including William Hand's family and Green Lanterns.
The air was filled with a pungent smell of blood.
Su Sheng stepped over the corpses and came to the dining room.
The chairs in the dining room were overturned on the ground, and a corpse lay in a pool of blood.
His head had been pierced through.
It was William Hand.
"Hasn't it started yet?" Su Sheng frowned.
"What, what hasn't started yet?" Carol Ferris's questioning voice came from the phone, and Su Shengdirectly hung up the call.
"Such a strong aura of Death," Su Sheng muttered, faintly sensing that darkness was gradually descending.
The surroundings of the living room seemed to be enveloped by darkness, gradually becoming devoid of any light.
On the ground, William Hand's corpse lay motionless, seemingly waiting to be swallowed by the darkness.
Whoosh!
A figure gradually emerged from the darkness.
A person about a meter tall, like a dwarf, floated in mid-air, dressed in a long robe, with a frightening scar on half of her face.
Scarface, one of the Guardians of the Universe.
One of the main figures that led to the birth of Blackest Night.
Seeing her, Su Sheng's lips curled slightly.
She seemed not to notice Su Sheng, floating in the air and staring at William Hand on the ground.
"This is exactly what he wants." Guardian Scarfacelooked at William Hand and suddenly started coughing and retching.
The coughing became more and more violent, causing her to bend over and cough fiercely, as if she could die at any moment.
"Cough, cough, cough…"
A puddle of black blood was coughed out by her, and within the black blood, a Black Lantern Ring appeared.
"Human."
"William Hand from Earth…" The Black Lantern Ringemitted a mechanical sound as it quickly flew and actively placed itself on William Hand's finger.
"Revive."
In an instant, William Hand's already tattered and pierced head rapidly recovered, and he supported himself with his hands and slowly stood up.
"You are the embodiment of our Black Lantern, you are the Black Avatar, you are the messenger of my Lord…" Scarface slowly said, looking at the resurrected William Hand.
"I, I know what I am, I am… Black Hand…"
"With this energy, I will ultimately extinguish all light."
Black Hand William Hand clenched his fist and raised the lantern ring.
His entire appearance and body underwent a drastic change.
Although he had just died, he now looked like a zombie, terrifying and horrifying!
Decay, darkness, Death.
An indescribable aura spread from William Hand, who had already become a Black Lantern.
Scarface slowly became invisible and disappeared into the darkness.
Black Lantern William Hand slowly turned and looked at Su Sheng.
Su Sheng smiled and beckoned to him.
The Black Lantern was born!
"You… are the last light I will extinguish." Black LanternWilliam Hand's voice was hoarse and grating, and then he merged into the darkness.
"Damn it."
"He's running away?" Su Sheng truly didn't expect Black Lantern William Hand to be such a coward.
What "last light to extinguish"?
I'm right in front of you, why are you running?
You're a Black Lantern, you're a subordinate of Black Death Emperor, you can revive the dead, you can extract emotional energy from the living by tearing out their hearts, and you can regenerate.
What are you afraid of?!
Su Sheng had just found things interesting and was about to Copy the Black Lantern's abilities, but the guy actually wanted to run.
The Speed Force instantly activated, and a dazzling blue light instantly rushed towards Black Lantern William Hand in the darkness.
Half of Black Lantern William Hand's body had already disappeared into the darkness.
Su Sheng instantly rushed in front of him, grabbed his hand, and pulled it outwards with force.
Creak!
Black Lantern William Hand was not pulled out; instead, his arm was torn off.
Su Sheng held the single arm in his hand, but William Hand had already completely vanished into the darkness.
"Damn it!"
Su Sheng slammed the severed arm onto the ground.
This was Black Lantern William Hand's right hand, the one without the Black Lantern Ring.
Bang!
The door was suddenly kicked open, and several fully armed soldiers rushed in.
The separated soldiers stared blankly at Su Sheng.
At the doorway, Deanna Lance entered with Katana and Batgirl.
"What's going on?"
Seeing Su Sheng standing in the dining room with a gloomy expression and a severed arm on the ground, Batgirl walked over and asked in a low voice.
"He got away." Su Sheng pouted, sneered, picked up the severed arm from the ground, and whispered, "Run, do you think you can really run away?"
Releasing his Wave Transmission ability, Su Shengsensed Black Lantern William Hand's location through the severed arm.
Batgirl frowned slightly at the sight and didn't ask any more questions, quietly standing by.
Wave Transmission ability can traverse cosmic space and has extremely strong sensing capabilities.
However, as a Black Lantern, William Hand's peculiarity is far stronger than the other seven Lanterns, making sensing a bit difficult, but this didn't stump Su Sheng.
Stacking power, one time, five times, ten times, twenty times… Su Sheng doubled the power, and soon sensed his location.
"Found you!"
Su Sheng's lips curled into a cold smile, and he directly used the lantern ring's energy ability to teleport over.
Gotham City, Cemetery.
Many people are buried here, both good and bad.
Bane, who once ruled Gotham and plunged Gothaminto a lawless land, is buried here.
He should have rested in peace.
But when Su Sheng teleported over, what he saw was William Hand standing beside Bane.
Yes, Bane, who should have been dead for a long time, was standing beside him, looking like a zombie, but… alive!
Bane was resurrected by the Black Lantern.
