3. Howl's Struggle

"Bang"

Hal's body was like garbage thrown from the thirtieth floor, slamming into the warehouse that had become a ruin, splashing tens of millions of dust, and the next second, his roar sounded, making his whole body turn into a green streamer again, rushing towards the sky.

There, the cane in Jarvis's hand has turned into two silver-white slender stabbing swords, every swing, block and stab, are as precise as a robot, with the help of the core of his mechanical life, all the attack patterns of the currently immature Green Lantern have been seen through by him, if Hal can't show combat power beyond the body, then his defeat is expected.

"Uncle Hal! come on, get him down!"

Hal's little nephew Jason was gnawing on a chicken leg while waving his fist and yelling at the Green Lantern in the sky, behind him, Hal's relatives watched the battle in the sky with concern, especially Hal's mother, as the widow of a former ace pilot, on the one hand, she longed for her son to become a hero to protect the world, but on the other hand, she hesitated about her son's safety.

Just like all parents in the world, while hoping for their sons to become Chan, they will also want them to live their lives safely and peacefully.

This so-called "kidnapping" is just Nebula's bad taste, and Cyber didn't ask her and Jarvis to get the result in any way, so it's just a bad joke made by Nebula and Green Lantern, but now, after telling the truth, all the contradictions have been resolved.

Not far from the Hal family, Nebula was bored leaning on a seat on the side of the road, drinking the wine she had brought with her, while closing her eyes slightly in disinterest, and beside her, sat Carol, who looked at the battle in the sky full of fantasy, and she couldn't help but ask:

"Will Hal lose?"

"If he still maintains this most rudimentary fighting style, he's going to lose. ”

Nebula glanced at the Green Lantern who was violently beaten by Jarvis and whispered:

"That ring could have given him extraordinary fighting abilities, and if his will and imagination were strong enough, he could even wipe out the city in an instant, but alas, he hadn't adapted to this power, or rather, he had become accustomed to bullying the weak, and he seemed too impatient in the face of real challenges. ”

"Put all your energy into the flowers, oh, man..."

Nebula took a sip of wine disdainfully, she looked at Carol, couldn't help but stick out her tongue and lick her scarlet lips, she sat up, reached out and grabbed Carol's fragrant shoulder, and whispered in her ear:

"Do you want me to let him go in his evaluation report?

"Huh?"

Carol is a woman with a normal personality orientation, and she is a little uncomfortable with Nebula's **, but she still asks, "Is it really possible?"

"Absolutely!"

Nebula stuck out her tongue and licked Carol's earlobe, which made the female pilot's body tremble for a moment, and then she heard Nebula say in her ear in a lover-like voice:

"All it takes is a little bit of dedication from you..."

When Carol heard this, she subconsciously clamped her leg again.

Fifteen minutes later, a satisfied Nebula broke through the darkness and appeared behind Jarvis, who reached out and pressed down on her companion who was beating Hal, and whispered:

"We've wasted enough time on him, Jarvis, being able to hold on to your attacks for so long has proven his potential, although, he still needs a full set of training and combat development..."

"Well... You have a point, too. ”

After a moment of thought, Jarvis withdrew the bayonet sword in his hand, straightened his somewhat disheveled clothes, took a step back, and gave way to Nebula, who looked at the panting Hal, and the light in her eyes turned indifferent:

"Listen, Hal Jordan, you've passed, but it's just a bad result on the line, it's very sad, so you have to arrive at the New York Delta Wing within 7 working days to register, and participate in 4 weeks of combat and energy projection training, and if you can't pass the final exam, unfortunately, we will still take your ring!"

"You don't have the right to do that!"

Hal shouted loudly, feeling a crisis from the bottom of his heart: "My ring was given to me by the Green Lantern Legion, the power of will chose me, and I serve a higher system and organization. ”

"So, you expect your status as a Green Lantern Legionnaire to scare us?"

Nebula snorted: "Come on, we know the Green Lantern Legion far better than you, the guardians of the 3,600 sectors are trying to maintain the so-called cosmic order with their own will?

"I don't believe it!"

Hal stubbornly raised his head and looked at Nebula, this resistance made the assassin's finger can't help but put his finger on the hilt, but the next moment, Jarvis's voice rang out:

"Your Excellency has arrived!"

"Huh?"

When Xingyun heard this, he immediately took a few steps back with Jarvis, folded his hands, and bowed his head slightly, as if to welcome the appearance of a certain big man, and the next moment, the space in front of Hal was shattered, and Cyber, dressed in black, walked out of it, he didn't look at Hal at all, but looked back at his subordinates, and he whispered:

"A little later than expected, but not unacceptable... There's nothing to do with you here, go track down the other light rings, the focus is on the orange lights!"

"Yes, Overlord!"

The figures of Jarvis and Nebula vanished into the harbor in the next moment, as if they had never appeared, and after doing all this, Cyber turned his head and looked at Hal in front of him.

At that moment of gaze, Hal felt the pressure on his shoulders, as heavy as a mountain, making him have the idea of not being able to help but kneel, this is the oppression of the instinct of high-level beings to low-level lifeforms, especially when Cyber does not retract this oppression, Howl's mind is destined to be under great pressure.

"Hal Jordan, the Battle of New York accidentally got the Ring of the Green Lantern from the dead green lantern bearer, and I have to say, you are a real lucky man, kid. ”

Cyber took a step back, and thousands of flames intertwined behind him to form a brilliant and heavy throne, on which he sat and turned his head to look to the side, where Howl's little nephew was looking at him with a blank expression, and a smile on his lips waved to the little one.

"Come here, Jason!"

Hal's gaze snapped to his nephew, looking at him with a warning look.

"Don't go there, silly boy! that's a dangerous guy you can't even think of!"

But the child did not feel threatened by Cyber, he looked at his parents, who seemed to sense Cyber's kindness, so he nodded at him, and little Jason walked towards Cyber, he looked up at Cyber's throne, he reached out curiously and touched the flame, unexpectedly, the burning flame was not scorching, but as comfortable as a soft sofa.

"Are you a magician, sir?"

Jason looked at Cyber and timidly asked, "My uncle, can you be a superhero?"

"No, I'm not a magician!"

Cyber reached out and touched Jason's somewhat messy hair, he stretched out his other hand, and a dark blue flame rose appeared in his hand, lifelike, like a living flower, and he handed it to Jason:

"But what a magician can do, I can do too, today is your 11th birthday, and my subordinates ruined your birthday party, this is my apology. ”

"Happy birthday to you, kid. ”

Jason looked at the blue rose in front of him, he grew his mouth in surprise, he took it in his hand, and said to Cyber very politely, "Thank you, sir, this is the best birthday I've ever had!"

"Oh, no, no, no!"

Cyber squeezed his eyes at Jason mysteriously: "I still have a wish for my birthday... What is your wish, if it is not so difficult, I can help you make it happen. ”

"Is it okay to have planets in the sky?"

Jason held the Flame Rose in his hand and looked up at Cyber, who shrugged, "Sure, but that thing must be ugly when it gets here, are you sure you want stars?"

"No, no, no!"

Jason hurriedly shook his head, he looked at his Uncle Hal, and he exclaimed, "Then let my uncle be a superhero!"

The child made several decent combat moves:

"It's like Batman! Oh, yes, it's better to be like Overlord! I like both of them the most!"

"Huh?"

A happy smile appeared on the corner of Cyber's mouth, and he smiled and patted Jason's little head:

"Go, go home with your parents! I've ordered you a big cake to enjoy your birthday party." ”

He glanced at Hal and said to Jason:

"I promise, when you meet your uncle tomorrow, he'll be a superhero, and of course, he'll need a little more training!"

Jason and Hal's relatives left under the escort of members of the Devil Gang, and only Cyber and Hal were left in the silent harbor, and he looked at the Green Lantern who stood silently in place, he stretched out his hand and propped his chin:

"I'll tell you the truth, Hal, I need you to take me to OA Star, your legion is not very effective in combat, it is a good hand to hide yourself, my soldiers have searched more than 3,000 galaxies, but they have not found your base camp, so I need you to do me a favor. ”

"What if I say no?"

Hal looked at Cyber in front of him, just from the breath that Cyber inadvertently leaked out, he could tell that the overlord in front of him might only need a fist to solve himself, but this was not a reason for him to give in, especially after suffering an unimaginable setback, he felt that he should not admit defeat like this.

"Well, so you're making a dangerous attempt, right?"

A dark blue ring of ash appeared in Cyber's eyes, and he met Howl's eyes, and he said playfully:

"I've heard that the Green Lantern Legion only selects people who have no fear in their hearts to be their warriors, and I'm also curious if you're really fearless as the first earthling to be chosen in tens of thousands of years..."

"Let's take a look!"

"Buzz"

Howl's eyes flashed, and he was in a trance back to something he could never forget, the day he was a child, when his father, the best pilot in Seaside City, tested a new type of aircraft, he stood in the crowd blankly, looking at everything in front of him from a third-party perspective, he was still wearing that strange battle suit, but no one paid attention to him.

He saw himself as a child, still wearing his father's leather jacket, standing on the side of the runway and cheering for his father wildly.

And his father, who has a face that has not faded at all in his memory, is getting into the plane and giving a thumbs up to his childhood self.

"No!

Hal shouted that he would never forget what had happened that day, that the plane would have an accident on takeoff, and that his father would die in the fire, but his voice was not heard by anyone, and no one paid attention to him.

He could only watch in despair as the plane taxied on the runway and took off, at this moment, he was beating wildly with the power of will in his body, but... There was no reaction, all this, just his memory, nothing more.

The plane took off as he remembered, the fuel tank exploded, his father struggled to control the plane to land, and as a child, he rushed towards the plane and saw the moment his father climbed out of the cabin, he knew that in the next second, the plane would explode, everything would repeat itself, and nothing could change all this.

But the second the spark rose, the whole world came to a standstill.

The burning flames, the horror of the crowd, and the cries of his own childhood, all stopped.

"Oh, that's your fear..."

Cyber's voice rang in his ears, and Hal opened his eyes to see Cyber standing next to the plane, and he looked back at himself, and he asked:

"Do you need me to help you seal this memory? You see, it is still affecting you, you can't overcome this fear, even if you choose to be a pilot when you grow up, face all kinds of dangers, but you still can't overcome it, it haunts you like a nightmare. ”

"You're not fearless, Hal, and your will isn't as strong as you think, and the ring will choose you just because there's a possibility in you!"

Cyber's expression became lighter: "As long as you can overcome it, and even if you can forget it, you can become a true warrior of the will, and I have also discovered..."

He stretched out his finger and put it on Hal's father's shoulder, a flame burned in his arm, and he looked at Hal:

"Do you need me to help you? Everything will go up in smoke, you won't remember the tragedy of your father, you won't even remember that you have a father..."

"No! Stop!

Hal shouted, "Don't touch my memory! Take your dirty hands away from my father!"

Removing the flaming arm from Howl's father's memory, Cyber looked at Howl, who had utterly broken down in his mood.

"I'll take you to OA, I admit defeat, end this, stop torturing me!"
