Chapter 257: The Colossus of True Justice
"No one should catch up with me here...... This is the vicinity of Miyin City, and it should be safe. ”
The blonde girl, Lux, ruffled her hair and landed on the ground, then turned and smiled at Regsy.
"I didn't have time to introduce myself in detail just now - my name is Laxana Crownguard, and everyone else usually calls me Lux, what about you? Strange Lantern Ring holder, may I know your name? ”
Red's brow furrowed slightly, and instead of answering Lux's words immediately, he turned to look around.
You can see that this is a small village in the middle of the valley, with a dozen or so simple houses scattered not far away.
However, there was no light in these houses, as if they were abandoned villages that were no longer inhabited, but Red's red light ring had been scanned into the houses, and there were actually quite a few people hiding in them.
What are they hiding from, what are they afraid of?
"This ......"
Seeing that Red didn't answer herself, Lux wrapped her fingers around her sideburns with some embarrassment.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to say your real name, it's okay to call me by a nickname, for example, we usually call Anna Fairy Qinse, and some people will call me Lady Radiant, I think Ling looks like ......"
"You should call him the Red Lantern Demon, the Berserker, the Red-Eyed Demon - the savior of the multiverse."
At this moment, a deep and deep voice fell from the sky, and at the same time, a huge figure fell.
Hearing this, Red's eyes widened and he looked up in disbelief at the burly figure in the raised dust.
Ooh!
A gust of wind swept through and dispersed the dust and smoke in an instant, a whirlwind caused by the spread of huge wings in layers.
Then a pair of huge palms slowly lowered, and the boar mane and Ash and Sejuani who were sitting on it were put down.
At the same time, Lingxing and Aretha also fell from the sky, but their reactions were different, Lingxing raised his tail and his hair stood on end, making no secret of his hostility.
Aretha looked shocked, and as soon as she landed, she stepped forward to Red and said.
"Red, he seems to be the ......"
"I know, I can see it at a glance."
Red's voice clenched his fists calmly, floating under the envelopment of red light energy.
In front of him was a colossus more than 30 meters high, made of solid rock, with a pair of huge wings and a tail dragging on the ground.
But that's not the point.
If that's all there is to it, Red would think it's the Colossus of Justice in the world of League of Legends, Galio, a hero forged by legendary craftsman Durang from the Forbidden Stone, who gained consciousness after absorbing various magical powers over countless years.
However, Red saw that on his broad chest there was a sign that he was familiar with.
The diamond-like golden inverted triangle is imprinted with an S-shaped pattern like a winding stream.
This is the symbol of hope in Krypton.
It is also the symbol of the El family.
"Long time no see, Red Douglas."
"Long time no see—"
"Superman."
——
"I see, although you didn't find Dr. Manhattan in the end, you still defeated Mandrak and Darkseid to solve the final crisis?"
The colossus in front of him was only muttering to himself, but it still rumbled.
"Anyway, I want to thank you in advance, no matter what you have done, but you are a worthy hero in this incident."
And Red carefully looked at the "Superman" in front of him and frowned slightly.
"So why did you become like this? Although it is said to be the Colossus of 'Justice', it is too nasty to become the Colossus of the 'Justice League'......"
"Well...... There are complex reasons for this. ”
Superman looked at his huge palm, and although it was not easy to see from the statue-like face, Red could sense that he seemed to be smiling bitterly.
According to Superman's description, it all started when they were on the edge of Hell, in order to escape from the DC multiverse.
Although Red tried his best at that time, he temporarily repelled the Supreme Superman at the cost of his own serious physical injury, and pushed the Dome into the void.
But the danger of the Dome has not yet been lifted, the Void is a collection of countless concepts, the Dome is like a drop of water falling into the ocean, which may be torn apart and decomposed into simple concepts at any time and disappear without a trace.
However, even at this time, Superman still believes that despair is not the end of the multiverse, and he sincerely believes in the possibility of all life, believing that the Dome will bring hope to the multiverse.
And the light of hope he ignited awakened the blue light ring that Batman had given him for safekeeping just in case.
Superman is in the DC universe, originally as a symbol of hope, and it is a noble existence with hope at all times, and the compatibility of the blue light ring with him is unimaginable.
Using the majestic blue light energy, Superman tried his best to protect the Dome, but even this was not enough, just as Taixu was about to tear Superman apart and devour him, Superman's powerful light of hope attracted a certain embodiment of hope from the shattered DC universe.
The Lamp Beast of Hope, the Bright Room Phoenix.
I don't know if it's just a moment, or if it's been a long time, but what is certain is that Superman did once merge with the Yao Room Phoenix and became its host, Yao Room Man.
Anyway, in the void, time and space have no meaning.
Superman also showed great power as the host of the Lamp Beast, he protected the Dome from the erosion of the Void, and crossed an unknown number of dimensions and dimensions, sending the Dome close to other material worlds.
It was an adventure that no one could have known about, not even Superman himself, but Red knew it was no less than defeating Mandrak.
But miracles come at a cost, and even if Superman inspires an unprecedented energy of hope, and at the same time merges with the embodiment of hope, this energy is still exhausted after he achieves his goal of protecting the Dome from the void.
Due to his close connection with the Shine Room, Superman's consciousness was separated from the body along with the Shine Room, but he also foresaw Red's later battle through the blue light energy, and his last will was to grab the blue lantern ring that was about to fly away and leave it to Red.
Superman's consciousness then floats and wanders in the void with the Celestial Phoenix, until Red defeats Mandrak and rearranges the omnipotent universe......
"So, I just put this Runeterrall universe next to you and stuffed you in?"
"No...... In fact, on the contrary, Yao Murohuang and I were both drawn to this universe - attracted by the emotional energy of the other Lantern Rings. ”
Red's heart sank, and he knew what that meant.
Before he and Superman came to this universe, there were already other Lantern Ring holders who had already arrived first.
It seems that there are more mysteries in this world...... But until then, Red has not forgotten his first mission in this world.
"So now, is the Yao Room Phoenix still on you?"
Hearing Red's words, Superman shook his head slightly, but Red could already guess it, so he wasn't much disappointed.
If he was by Yao's side, it was impossible for Ash to have no reaction to the light ring he was carrying.
"Since I came to this universe, I have lost contact with Yaomuhuang...... When I woke up, I was one with the magical stone body, its original will and mine. The first time I opened my eyes, I saw Lux—"
"Stop! I'm not interested in the story of you changing into a big, hard body to hook up with little Lori for the time being. ”
Red paused slightly, a rare tangle on his face.
"In fact, I have news for you...... It's about Louise and your daughter. ”
"My ...... Daughter? Louise has already given birth to a baby? ”
After hesitating for a moment, Red told Superman about the death threat that Louise's daughter was facing because of the interference of her own dNA.
Red was ready for the possibility that Superman would beat him up angrily because of this, but Superman seemed much calmer than expected.
"I see...... I'm so sorry for Louise and the kid, but I couldn't be with them at this juncture. ”
Superman closes his eyes for a moment, then opens his eyes and stares at Red.
"You're the only one who can save this child, Red."
——
While Red was chatting with Superman, who was housed on the Colossus of Justice, Ash was also staring at Red from a distance with a complicated gaze.
"It's really surprising, I didn't expect the hero of our world to live on a magic stone statue in this world......"
Aretha has been stationed on Earth for a period of time and has fought alongside Superman in the Senisto War, so she is no stranger to Superman.
Suddenly, Ash turned her head and looked at Aretha with a grim gaze.
"Miss Aretha, I have a question...... Can you please tell me the truth? ”
Seeing Ash's serious expression, Aretha became a little flustered for some reason.
"I don't know if I can ...... this."
"You're from the same world as Red, and you've known about Red's true purpose and plans, and you've known that he and I have a misunderstanding about each other's goals - but you deliberately let this misunderstanding remain, didn't you?"
"Ahh......h
Aretha looked visibly weak, and she wrung her fingers crampedly, only to whisper after a moment.
"I'm sorry - I didn't mean to, I just thought it was ...... Red obviously has strong strength, but his emotional intelligence is not very high, and he wants to take this opportunity to tease him...... But I didn't expect him to find out all the time...... I'm still wondering if he'll not react until the seven-day deadline is up and when he wants to leave this world. ”
At this moment, Ash's body seemed to shake slightly, but she quickly masked her expression and squeezed out a stiff smile.
"It's nothing, Miss Aretha, please don't care...... I'm going to take a break. ”
Ash felt empty in her heart, she couldn't tell what it was, and that was pretty much how her mother, Glenna, had made an appointment to celebrate her birthday when she was a child, only to hang her in the tribe for hunting.
Through her talent as a hunter, Ash climbed to the top of a towering tree, and she looked up at the bright moonlight, which was supposed to be the same moon as Freljord, but for some reason Ash always felt something different.
Obviously it was in the warm Demacia, why did the moonlight here seem to be even colder than Freljord's.
After a few moments, Ash untied the bag around his waist and took out a ring that shone with a faint blue light.
On the condition that she wear the ring, Red granted her three near-impossible requests......
"Is this what the Lantern Ring is called?"
Suddenly, a hand grabbed the light ring in Ash's hand, but Ash withdrew it like lightning and held it tightly to his chest.
"Who is it?!"
Ash turned her head to find her sworn sister in the branch next to her, looking at her with a smirk.
"Sejuani? When did you ......"
"I came here before you, and you didn't even notice that I was here when you came up, as if you had lost your soul."
Ash pursed her lips and said nothing, she quickly put the lamp ring back in the bag around her waist, but just then, Sejuani grabbed her arm.
"This is the power that even the entire army of Demacia fears, the power that can defeat Volibel and shoot down the gods...... If this power can be used, even if it can't reach the level of Red, it can still create countless benefits for Freddrund. ”
Sejuani approached Ash's side and said in a deep voice.
"Give it to me, let me put it on, I'm willing to risk anything-"
"No way!"
Ash refused, almost reflexively.
"This is my agreement with Red...... He believed me and said I could use this ring to help him find a symbol of hope. This is my task and I will definitely not give it to anyone else. ”
Ash looked firmly at her sworn sister, but to her surprise, Sejuani, who had always been savage and stubborn, smiled meaningfully and let go of Ash's arm.
"Okay then, but I don't mind being a spare tire for Ash, if you fail or don't dare to put on the ring, I'll snatch it...... I'm not just talking about rings. ”
Hearing Sejuani's words, Ash's pupils shrank, but he quickly looked away.
"No, you and I may have thought crookedly from the beginning, and he never ...... us"
"Hmph, Ash, you can't fool me, we've been so similar since we were kids."
Sejuani hugged Ash from behind, she was much taller than Ash, but her movements were so gentle.
It's hard to imagine that two days ago they were old enemies who had to fight to the death when they met.
"We all look forward to Glenna, we all have the same ideals, we all have the same stubbornness, we will even choose the same tree, and we may fall in love with the same man......"
"Y-What are you talking about? They all said it was a misunderstanding, and he didn't think about it at all-"
"We're all Freljords, and Glenna told us before that if you want any prey, you have to get it yourself."
"Remember, prey doesn't come to your mouth on its own."
