Chapter 33: Arrest
In less than three seconds, Red slashed out more than 100 knives in one go, Kraken's body was covered with bloody scars, each knife was deep to the bone, if it weren't for the fact that Kraken was the new god of the Apocalypse before joining the Green Lantern Legion, this set of blood blades just now could have chopped her into pieces.
However, the most serious injury on her body was the cracked lamp stove on her chest, and the mechanical parts that kept sparking arcs proved that the green light energy implanted in her body had reached the brink of losing control.
"If I die...... It will be a hundred kilometers around here......"
"It's none of my business."
Red touched the head of the Spirit Star that had returned to his shoulder, then condensed the blade of blood in front of him and grabbed it, stabbing it into the broken lamp stove in Kraken's chest without hesitation.
However, his sharp blade stopped halfway through the stab.
Of course, it couldn't be that he suddenly felt compassion, but because his Flesh Blade was blocked by someone halfway.
And it was carried by the flesh.
Needless to say, to be able to do this on this planet, there was only one person that Red could think of at first.
"That's enough."
When Red raised his head, the first thing that caught his eye was an S-shaped pattern framed by an inverted triangle and a handsome and resolute face.
"Are you going to protect this guy, Superman?"
"I protect everybody — tell me, what's going on here?"
Superman glanced at the surroundings and then looked at Red with a stern gaze.
"Meow-"
Lingxing sensed the threat and did not hesitate to squirt out a large amount of red light plasma, but the enemy just puffed up his cheeks and blew lightly, and the hot red light energy was actually sealed by the cold ice.
Red decisively jumped back with the Spirit Star to open the distance, but the next second in front of him sounded a roar of the sound barrier being breached, and Superman's figure almost caught up with him at a teleportation speed, and raised his fist.
This is an enemy that is impossible to defeat.
Lingxing quickly flew in front of Red to block the attack, but Red subconsciously hugged Lingxing and wanted to protect it with his body, and Superman's gaze flashed a hint of strangeness, and he stopped when his fist was about to hit Red.
At this moment, a figure wrapped in green light fell from the sky and landed next to Superman and Red.
"It's ...... Kraken? Why is it being beaten like this...... Wait, this is-"
Green Lantern John Stewart looked at the mortally injured Supreme Green Lantern, his face was surprised and confused at first, but when his gaze shifted to the several corpses on the ground, especially the headless body of Black Thunderbolt that had been drained of blood, his pupils immediately trembled with shock.
"Jefferson? No, it can't be. ”
John took a step back and looked at Superman with a hint of expectation, but the latter pursed his lips and shook his head.
For Superman, who can even see through DNA with the naked eye, I'm afraid that the identity of these corpses has been confirmed when he first came here.
"It seems that you are the Green Lantern John Stewart, after all, there are not many black Green Lanterns...... By the way, Jefferson Pierce of Black Thunderbolt remembered that it was your brother-in-law, it was an unfortunate accident, but don't worry-"
Red nudged Psitron's back slightly, and Red Light, who realized he was out of danger, belched and spewed a little flame out of his mouth.
"My feud with him has been settled after I killed him, and it will not implicate you relatives."
John was stunned at first, but when he understood the meaning of Red's words, he quickly raised his fist and rushed towards Red while letting out a roar.
But his fist, encased in green energy, was caught before it was about to hit Red, who didn't dodge or dodge.
"Calm down John."
Superman's gaze, which seemed to be able to see through everything—no, actually really could see through everything—glanced at Red.
"Let's go back to the Justice League."
——
Washington, Hall of Justice.
The originally happy New Year's Eve party was forced to end due to an accident, and most of the other heroes were notified in advance to leave, leaving only the core members of the Justice League.
The atmosphere here also became extremely heavy, especially when the hall was littered with balloon streamers and four bloody corpses.
"Where's Batman?"
Aquaman Arthur Curry asked the Flash in a low voice.
When a pillar of light appeared in the sky, he and Nightwing immediately left the Hall of Justice, hearing that something had happened to Gotham. The oracle was seriously injured and unconscious, and the suspect who was at the scene at the time was ......."
Wally West, the Flash, glanced at the other end of the hall, where there was already a small prison made of green translucent structures.
Green Lantern's ability to materialize structures is closely related to his own experience and expertise, for example, Hal Jordan, a former pilot, likes to materialize airplanes and other vehicles; Kyle Renner, who was once a painter, will have more artistic characteristics in his embodied works; The reckless and bold Geganade prefers simple and brutal giant melee weapons.
John Stewart, who served in Afghanistan as a Marine and later qualified as an architect, has an extra talent for modernizing buildings — as evidenced by the structural prison now used to temporarily hold Red.
Less than ten square meters away, John had built a single-man prison with more than five walls and more than 52 machine guns pointed at Red in the center, and he would be immediately fired upon if he moved more than fifty centimeters.
But Red remains unfazed in this situation, dealing with Superman and Green Lantern's cross-examination.
"So you admit it, Earth Force, Black Thunderbolt, Halo...... And the Earth and Stone Girl, these four heroes were all killed by your own hands? ”
In the face of Superman's serious question, Red still had the leisure to rub his hand back and forth on Lingxing's belly, feeling the gurgling sound of the cat's belly.
"To be precise, it is to fight back in self-defense. One more thing, I don't think of the earth girl as a hero...... Well, to be specific, all four of them seem to me to be innocent. ”
Hearing Red's words, the black Green Lantern clenched his fists and opened his eyes, and roared angrily at Carl.
"Of course Jefferson is a hero! He's an Olympian! He is a teacher who teaches and educates! Defeated countless criminals! And also a good husband, father of two girls! Isn't there any guilt at all for killing this bastard? ”
"You're right, I don't have a wife, no daughters, no other family - oh, I'm sorry, I almost forgot about you, Lingxing."
Red rubbed Lingxing's little head dotingly, then looked at John with a sneer.
"Am I born to be more inferior than the so-called superhero? He wants to do it to me, and to my cat, is it wrong for me to resist? ”
John was momentarily speechless, but quickly retorted.
"You're quibbling! Jefferson is a seasoned hero who doesn't ......"
"Heroes make no mistakes, and I hope you can say this to the people of Zansh and to the civilians of the Middle East who died while serving in Afghanistan—"
Red looked at John Stewart with satisfaction, his face pale and dumbfounded. There are many ways to vent his anger, in addition to using red light energy to slaughter enemies, it is even more refreshing to use psychological attacks to poke the heart of the guy who doesn't like his eyes, he can sense his red light energy rising.
"Oh, yes, they can't blame you, after all, they just lost their lives, and you, the great Green Lantern, are psychologically overshadowed...... Right. ”
