The first time Mason entered the Overlord World, he triggered the "Black Lantern Ring Global Defense System", and that experience is still fresh in Mason's memory.

Especially when the Red Queen came to stir up the game, she was noticed by the Black Light Legion and accidentally played a wave of assists, which indirectly created an opportunity for the captain who was weak at the time to break the enemy.

It was quite an exciting experience, and it also gave Mason an intuitive understanding of the power of the fully released Black Lantern Ring.

Although the Black Lantern Ring in this world is not as powerful as the legendary "Black Lantern Night" when it comes to the power and energy level of the Black Lantern in this world, it is undoubtedly above the root power of the Corrupt Black.

It's understandable when you think about it, no matter how powerful the Decaying Black is, it can only work on Earth, while the Black Lantern Ring can cover the entire galaxy and even the universe after it is fully released.

The two are not the same level of stuff in the first place.

This is also the reason why Mason did not come to explore the secret of the black light in the first place after the war in the Overlord World ended, he felt that these forces inclined to darkness would always come up with strange rules, and it would undoubtedly take a lot of time to find the source, and what they needed most now was time.

However, now that the Overlord Worlds have effectively joined the Resistance Alliance, the power they have placed here to protect the world can also be used by Mason.

Although it was Uncle Swallow's tough demands that disrupted Mason's plan, he could also take the opportunity to satisfy some of his curiosity about the Black Lantern Army.

This situation is called one fish and two eats? Or is it a two-pronged experience?

"It's said to be a station, but it's actually the ruins of Seaside City."

In the futuristic technology batfighter that landed, Damien pointed to the dark and cold ruins of the city below, explaining to Mason:

"I've read the Righteous Lords' accounts of the war in the Batcave, and the city was one of the first places to be destroyed during the Conqueror's invasion, and the entire city was blown up by Vulcan and Storm Maiden.

There were countless deaths and injuries inside, and even the world's greatest Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, fell here.

It is said that the guy used a series of operations before his death to transform into the Lord of Fear, the Parallax Demon to defeat that invasion, and he sacrificed himself to fly to the sun.

It's hard to say whether John Stewart's summoning of the Dark Lantern Ring in a critical situation was 'inspired' by his predecessors, but there is no doubt that the lantern heroes of this world are real hard bones!

After reading those stories, I will be in awe of their choice.

I can't go down with you, though, the city has been completely covered by the power of the Black Lantern Ring, and the heroes and clones who have died in years of war have become the guardians of the Black Lantern Lord, and any life that steps into it without permission will trigger their counterattack.

Even the Righteous Lords won't come here if they're fine. ”

"I didn't expect to take you down with this little oil bottle."

Holding the purple light of Uncle Swallow's fish tank in one hand, Mason flicked his fingers and flipped out the pendant made of the Time Stone and clasped it in his hand, he jumped down from the open hatch and said to Damian through the team communication:

"You're just waiting here, it's clear that this is not the time for you to get involved, and in a moment Lady Janet will come over with a portable quantum tunneling device, and you can help her set it up here."

"Are you so sure you can convince the Lord of the Black Light to give up his power?"

Damien retorted:

"People are not ordinary villains, they can't even be called villains, even after embracing the quiet death, they are defending the world.

Such a strong will will certainly not be persuaded by a few words. ”

"I have my own way."

Mason didn't explain, and after landing on the ground, he walked into the ruined city in front of him, which was shrouded in darkness thicker than the night, and the land here was stained with "black", just as the "black mud" scattered all over the world was the embodiment of the death power of the Black Lantern Ring.

The captain carefully avoided these dangerous areas, so as not to alarm the dead.

Through his keen Isu senses of energy, he locked on to the source of all the scattered power in the city, which was surely where the Black Death Emperor was.

Speaking of the Black Dead Emperor.

This guy is supposed to be the embodiment of the power of death in the universe, and unlike the Corrupt Black, it has its own will and is obsessed with destroying all life in the universe in order to return the noisy stars to the "good" silent age.

This kind of guy with a purpose and power is often the most difficult to deal with.

Mason couldn't guess how Green Lantern Stewart managed to get the Black Dead Emperor to obey his guardianship, but it was certainly not a pleasant process.

"Something has woken up!"

The thought crossed Mason's mind, and he caught a glimpse of himself being pulled into the erupting death mud, and immediately stopped activating the Time Stone in his hand.

Almost as soon as the green fluorescence wrapped around his left arm, the quiet black area around him suddenly erupted and vibrate.

The mud of death that rolled around howled and turned into dead heroes to surround Mason, and the mud filled with the power of death erupted into a fountain to eat and wipe out the living who had broken into the realm of death.

But in the next moment, the green streamer on Mason's arm exploded, locking the nearby flow of time, and the burst of death mud and the hideous dead who came out were frozen in the power of the Time Gem, and the captain pulled out his pistol and aimed at the nearest Eagle Woman, and fired a bullet that shattered the latter's eyes with precision.

However, no blood erupted from the wound, and the black death mud repaired the wounds, but the resurrected dead were unable to break through the control of the Time Gem on their own.

But Mason couldn't move forward.

Because of his attacking actions, the entire dead and silent ruined city was "lived".

A miserable white light lit up all over the city, and shadowy black shadows appeared everywhere, and the army of the dead under the control of the Black Lantern Ring felt offended.

Born of death's instinctive aversion to life, they want to tear apart the creatures who trespass on the land of death.

The power that the time gem in Mason's hand can generate in this other world is quite limited, mainly because he has not systematically learned how to control the flow of time, and he is afraid that he will die soon by relying on this thing.

So when he was surrounded by thousands of dead, the captain decisively took out his own big killing weapon.

"Smack"

The trigger of the one-time Ultimate Eraser pulled, and purple flames rose in the night, tossed forward by Mason like activated grenades.

He himself made an instigation action of holding his head and squatting on the spot.

"Boom"

The dazzling pillar of purple light once again illuminated the night, and the destructive cosmic divine power enveloped the entire ruined city in an instant, causing the energy to crash and shatter the great earthquake, and the strange howl seemed to come to hell.

This movement made Damian, who was waiting on the periphery, feel a spirit, and made Lady Janet, who had just been sent by the Speedster, almost throw the portable quantum tunneling device in her hand.

"What the hell is he doing?"

Lady Janet exclaimed:

"Didn't you say Mason was going to negotiate terms? This movement seems to be talking about conditions? Is this the beginning of the breakdown of negotiations? Or was he planning to tear down the Dead Realm to force the Black Lantern Ring to obey? ”

"Well, maybe that's an option, too?"

Damian pursed his lips, lamenting in his heart that Mason's "explosive" attribute finally couldn't be hidden.

However, the captain did not expect to take down the Black Lantern Legion with a single burst of cosmic divine power, although the energy blast just now did destroy the dead entity created by the Black Lantern Ring and interfered with the power operation here, but for the dead, this pure destruction could not prevent them from reappearing in death.

"It's time for an exciting shrimp catch."

Mason looked at the empty shattered place in front of him, he threw out a set of speed force armor and put it on, and in the surrounding death mud like a sea tide, he quickly crossed the shattered ground and rushed to the place where the Black Death Emperor was, and from the sky, he could see a faint blue light turning and advancing in the ruins of the remaining dangerous energy.

It's like walking a maze.

Stewart has set up a rather complicated route for himself to protect the ruins, and he himself lives in the center of the dark labyrinth, but even the most complex labyrinth is not too many attempts for the speedy.

"Huh"

The figure of the chief captain appeared in the center of the labyrinth, and it took three seconds so fast that the Black Lantern Ring didn't even have time to heal the energy in the city and wake up more dead.

Mason popped out of his Speedforce armor and looked at the black skull seat in front of him.

A guy in a tattered black robe and a black scythe in his hand was sitting upright on it.

The black skull mask covered the cheeks and made it difficult to see the face, but the swaying of its robes revealed dried flesh and skin-covered bodies.

In this moment, Mason understood.

This guy is not hiding in this ruin and pretending to be mysterious, he really can't move! It's like a unique seal that wants to suppress some imminent force with its own body and existence.

"John Stewart?"

Mason asks:

"Can you still hear me?"

"Yes, I'm not deaf."

A weak voice sounded from under the skull mask, and with a kind of helplessness and annoyance, he said:

"You're Mason Cooper? I've seen you before, and I was impressed with you when the Grey Bat begged me to use the power of the Black Lantern Ring to help you resist the Red Queen.

But why are you here? ”

"I'll talk to you about something."

Mason put aside the cosmic divine power fish tank in his hand, and was about to say something when he was interrupted by a weakened Stuart, who said:

"Do me a favor first."

"Well, you say, as long as I can do it."

Mason nodded.

The heart said that it was really this process, just like his mother's task and doing tasks, if you want to get something, you have to serve the noble NPC first.

"Come forward."

In a low, hoarse voice, Stewart said:

"It's easy for you, but it's very personal, and I hope you don't talk about it all over the place."

"You're not going to lie to me and then let the Black Death Emperor who was suppressed by you swallow me in one bite, right?"

Mason asked suspiciously, causing the Lord of the Black Light to sigh and say:

"It's not being held back by me, Mason.

There is a price to be paid for my ability to harness the power of the black light, and you should know that I have become a part of it, the embodiment of the concept of death in the physical world.

The Green Lantern Corps did their best to partially destroy the concept of the Black Death, which allowed me to take advantage of it.

You don't have to worry about it getting out of hand, at least not in this world. ”

The captain stepped forward to John Stewart, his left hand resting on the pistol at his waist, determined that he would fight back at the slightest movement.

But that didn't happen, and as he approached Stewart, he heard him say in an awkward, weak tone:

"Help me scratch my back"

"Huh?"

Mason's eyes widened and he wondered if he had heard it wrong, was this some new joke of the younger generation?

"I've been sitting here in this position for almost three years."

Stewart explains:

"I'm actually dead, it's just the power of the Black Lantern Ring that keeps me alive, but I can't just move around to project the part of the Black Light Power I can control around the world and keep it active.

The skull seat you see is actually a 'controller'.

Anyway, I couldn't do these simple things on my own, and my back was itching.

I'm going crazy with torture.

Maybe I'll have to be glad I don't need to think about excretion after I die, otherwise that scene will make me want to kill myself in shame just thinking about it, right there, ah, a little further down, scratch hard!

Oh, Shet!

It's so cool. ”

The Lord of Death let out a groan of relief as Mason felt a tickling device move behind him with his dwarf saber.

"Can't you just find a dead man to do this for you?"

Mason complained with a strange expression:

"I just saw the Eagle Lady and the female fox who have maintained an illicit relationship with you for a long time, wouldn't it be more convenient for them to help you?"

"They can't get close to me."

Stewart sighed and said:

"This labyrinth that binds me is not my own making, they have created it, they are bound by the Black Lantern Ring to cursed life after death, and the power of approaching the Black Death Emperor will make them lose their minds.

They don't want to do it, and I don't want to force it.

In short, my relationship with them is complicated, and it is not the absolute control between superiors and subordinates as you might imagine. Well, it's much more comfortable, now let's talk, what do you want me to help with? ”

"Well, that's a long story."

Mason stood next to Stewart, looking at the Skull Seat Force Controller under his ass, feeling that this thing was similar to the legendary "Ice Throne", and told Stewart about the events of Universe 2149 and the current situation.

He had thought that it would be difficult to convince the Black Lantern Man to give up his powers, but he didn't expect that less than a minute after he finished speaking, John Stewart made a decision.

"You open that quantum tunnel now!"

The Lord of Death said in a firm tone to Mason, who was still tickling him:

"I will take this legion of the dead into that plane of death, and even if I can, I hope that your companions over there will help me bring in the death power that the Black Death Emperor has left in this universe.

Now that the threat of the conquerors has been eliminated, the presence of us, the dead, has become a destabilizing factor in this world.

The Black Death Emperor is a self-aware force, and it will definitely repay us for what we have done to it tenfold and hundredfold one day in the future, and then this troubled world will inevitably be bleeding.

However, when I became Lord of Justice, I vowed to prevent such dangers.

It's time for me to fulfill my vows. ”

"No, you didn't understand my thoughts."

Mason was greatly moved to hear Stewart so resolute, and said in his heart that these righteous lords were really too qualified in terms of dedication and sacrifice.

But he also emphasized:

"I didn't send you here to make you subordinate to our 'companions', Stewart, the death of that plane is reshaping the rules of death, and the Black Death Emperor is weaker than her personality but not incapable of resisting.

Star-Swallowing and Death apparently already know what their presence means to us rebels, and they have cards in their hands to negotiate terms with us.

However, the fact that the 2149 Plane can access the World Gate itself is so important to our cause that we cannot give it up.

So, I mean"

"You want me to enter there and participate in the restart of the Death Plane with the power of the Black Death Emperor, so as to ensure that the secret tactics of the Resistance Alliance will not be interfered with."

John Stewart put it clearly:

"You're right! That path could directly decide the fate of the rebels, and it could not fall into the hands of another group of scheming people, even if they were cosmic gods.

The reins of this project must be in our hands, and I am honored to be able to undertake such an important mission after my death.

Leave it to me, Mason Cooper.

I will do my best to fulfill this heavy responsibility, and I swear in the name of the Lord of Justice! ”
