Chapter 258: Green Lantern
Not to mention Ash's sister's conversation with Sejuani, the camera returns to Red and the Colossus of Justice.
"What did you say?"
Red frowned and looked at Superman in disbelief.
"Aren't you going to come back to the DC Universe with me first?"
After learning about Superman's current situation, Red quickly adjusted his plans.
It is clear that in this runeterras universe, it has been patronized by other members of the Lantern Order, and it has left a deep impact.
But to investigate in detail, I'm afraid it will take a long time and effort, and there are still about 5 days before the Dome arrives.
What's more, that Louise's child is now facing a serious genetic problem, and it will be very dangerous to drag it out any longer.
So Red proposed that the situation of Yao Room Phoenix could be slowed down for a while, and since Superman had been found, he would just hide here for a few days and take Superman back first.
As for the problem of Yao Murohuang and investigating the other light rings, I will slowly solve it next time.
However, to Red's surprise, Superman vetoes his proposal and gives up the opportunity to reunite with his family.
"I'm sorry for Louise and my daughter...... But I can't ignore the world. ”
On the resolute face of the Colossus of Justice, there was a little more guilt and emotion.
"I'll tell you how to open the Fortress of Solitude, and as I said earlier, please help me save my daughter. And during this time, I will continue to protect people in this universe - this is my agreement with the hero who lent me this body, Galio. ”
Putting a strange world and one's wife and daughter on the same scale, no matter how you think about it, it's ......
Red wanted to say more, but seeing Superman's resolute gaze, he finally gave up.
Superman is this kind of person, he decides that the DC Universe is guarded by other people, and Red can help him open the fortress of loneliness, and it is this universe that needs him more.
"However, at least it should be okay to go back and show your face, or let you change back to your original body first, and then I'll have the Dome send you back......"
Superman, however, smiled wryly and shook his head slightly.
"If we have just met and have to leave, it will only add to the sadness of parting, and I will be satisfied to let me know that Louise and her mother and daughter are safe, and if this hidden danger breaks out in the short time I am away, it will be beyond the true remorse. Besides—"
Then the Colossus of Justice flapped its massive wings and rolled up a whirlwind that was not too violent, and it seemed that he had become very skilled in manipulating the body.
"I don't know if the sun of this world can provide power to my Kryptonian body, and if I want to fight in this universe, it would be better to be in the body of this colossus."
Red sighed lightly, since Superman had already made his choice, then he couldn't say anything more.
Anyway, he never understood the brain circuits of these so-called superheroes.
"One last thing...... Questions about your daughter. ”
Red hesitated, but finally he spoke in a deep voice.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't know Louise was pregnant, and I didn't know it would have consequences."
Although Red can kill people without blinking, he has killed countless people in order to survive.
But even so, it was not his intention to tarnish a pregnant woman's reputation and permanently change a child's dNA.
Superman stared at Red, and after a moment seemed to smile.
"Since we are born, we Kryptonians will receive a certain degree of genetic adjustment, especially if I say, I have been implanted into the genetic map of the entire Krypton...... It's not entirely your fault that the kid would be so susceptible. ”
What, it's not just because of the red light energy.
Hearing Superman's words, Red couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the problem he had worried about before was finally solved.
You must know that he has used the ability of blood and qi diversion on several other women, and if anyone who uses it will get pregnant, it will really make people's scalp tingle.
"Still, I think you have someone you need to apologize to even more."
At this moment, Superman's voice turned sharp, and his voice became low and serious.
"The Flash, John Stewart, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter......"
"Needless to say, Superman – I've said it many times that everything I do is for my own benefit and those around me. I warned them that they stood in my way, and that they ended up paying with their lives, and I have no regrets about that. ”
The atmosphere between the two began to grow cold, and after staring at Red for almost a minute, Superman finally sighed softly helplessly.
"Sure enough, you're still ...... like this"
"I will always be like this."
Superman folded his wings and sat on the ground, then turned his head to look behind a large rock.
"Lux, you can come here."
Red looked at Lux, who was poking out her little head from behind the rock, a little embarrassed, and was not surprised, in fact, he had already noticed that the girl was eavesdropping.
However, there is nothing worth keeping secret about his conversation with Superman.
"Come here, Miss Lux, and Aretha Spirit, and you guys too—"
"I wonder, what the hell is going on in Demacia?"
——
Soon, everyone gathers in front of the massive body of the Colossus of Justice, and when Red finds Ash and Sejuani, they are talking in the distance on a large tree.
It looks like these two sisters have been freed from their previous suspicions?
But now, Ash's mission is no longer the first priority, and Red must first figure out Demacia's mutation.
"Hello everyone, I'm Laxana Crownguard, the ...... of Demacia"
"Excuse me from introducing myself, Miss Lux, and get straight to the point. Who told you about the Ring, and where have you seen it? ”
Lux, who was interrupted by Red, puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction, but continued to speak.
"It happened about a few months ago......"
——
The earliest beginnings were Tobicia, a town located in the interior of Demacia, hundreds of miles away from the capital of Demacia.
At first it was just a rumor - some kind of humanoid and ragged horror that roamed around town; Then, overnight, the village of a few hundred people was empty; The soldiers who followed the investigation were also nowhere to be found.
For Demacia, who forbade magic and made all mages his enemies, it was clear that this was the work of the evil mages again, so they sent the best team of demon hunters to bring the evil mages to justice.
And yet they were wrong.
They were confronted with a large straw-shaped object, and on his withered fingers, he wore a ring that shone ominously yellow.
The Forbidden Stone has no effect on it, it can manifest the most feared object of all people, and then give the most terrible way to die.
In the past, such rumors were often circulated throughout the Valoran continent, but generally speaking, this symbol of fear that has been passed down from ancient times usually disappears after a while.
However, this ancient fear continues to walk the land of Demacia, threatening the lives of the people with fear and death.
In the end, Demacia sent all their elite troops and heroes to encircle and suppress it, and the battle was very fierce, and Galen and the others fought valiantly and still fell behind.
At the height of the battle, the legendary guardian of Demacia, the Colossus of Justice Galio, fell from the sky, tilting the scales of the battle slightly; And when the Angel of Justice, who was sung by Demacia and armed with a flaming sword, came to help in the battle, the battle finally came to an end.
The reason for this is that it is difficult to say whether the battle was a victory or not.
In the end, Galio blocked the final blow of the Ancient Fear, and his forbidden stone body was obviously unable to absorb the strange yellow light energy, and as a result, it was shattered into countless pieces.
His sacrifice was worth it, though, and the Angel of Justice seized the opportunity to sever the ring-wearing arm of the Ancient Dread with her scorching Starfire rune.
The ancient terror soon vanished, and instead of appearing dead, he returned to his rightful state, a source of fear that had disappeared without a trace—but the yellow ring remained.
While all the survivors of the battlefield watched the Angels of Justice return to the divine realm and mourn for the Colossus of Justice who guarded them, the yellow ring suddenly turned into a golden rainbow and disappeared into the sky.
This is not the end.
It's the real beginning of it all.
A week later, Noxus and Demacia caused a war over border friction, which had become commonplace for Demacia.
Although the main force suffered heavy losses, the prince of Demacia, Gavin IV, and the aunt of Lux, the aunt of the Supreme Council of Demacia, Tiana Crownguard, managed to repel the invading Noxian soldiers.
Until the man with the yellow ring, along with countless embodied crows, appeared on the battlefield.
Jericho Svein, the Noxian commander who had always led the way and commanded the battle at the forefront of the battlefield, was now different, and through the power of the yellow ring, he was an army and quickly turned the tide.
What made the Demacians even more desperate was that although they didn't know how Svein did it, there was not only one yellow ring.
Darius, Delevingne, Sain..... These killing machines, which were already terrifying on the battlefield, were even more unstoppable after gaining the power of the Yellow Ring.
For the first time, Demacia was completely defeated in front of Noxus, and it was only a line away from being attacked by Demacia.
But at this moment, a group of strange people holding long staffs, like monks, appeared.
At the head was an extremely thin woman, the tip of her staff shimmered with cyan light, and in the most dangerous can of Demacia, she stopped in front of all the strong Noxians with yellow rings.
“tor lorek san, bor nakka mur,
Natromo faan tornek wot ur,
ter Lantern ker lo Abin Sur,
taan lek lek nok, Formorrow sur!”
It was the voice that Lux heard at the time, a language she had never heard of.
In the next second, everything was literally reversed, and the mighty warriors of Noxus were defeated by the woman holding the green lantern in a very short time.
And what's even more weird is that this woman with a green lantern in her hand used an ability that is highly similar to the other party to defeat the other party.
With the female companions joining the battlefield, the Noxian Legion was finally defeated, and finally had to retreat as a whole, and the crisis of Demacia was resolved.
Although they were saved from the brink of destruction, the Emperor of Demacia, Gavin III, was initially wary of them.
However, this suspicion was dispelled when the woman who was the leader used her power on the Forbidden Stone to prove that they were not magicians.
Then these mysterious heroes who saved Demacia were treated with the highest level of courtesy.
The women at the head call themselves the Green Girls and refer to them as members of the Green Lantern Tribe, and show the power of the Lantern Ring and emotions to Jarvin III.
According to them, there are other groups of lights that use their emotional powers besides them, but they are more dangerous and belligerent than the green lanterns, and the young girls came to this world to track them down.
Sensing the threat of the Yellow Lantern Ring, King Jiawen III asked the young girl to give them the power of the Lantern Ring.
Believing that the world has been planted with various other light rings as the key to triggering the power of the darkest, the young girl finally accepts Gavin III's request in order to stop the darkest night and the abuse of her emotional power.
However, she put forward a few conditions -
First, Demacia should do his best to recycle the rings of other colored lamps to avoid a "color war" in this world;
Second, the young girl needs to continue to pursue her goal, but before leaving, she will look for someone in this universe who can inherit the power of the green lantern, but this person must be determined by the young girl.
Thirdly, the person chosen by the young girl to bestow the power of the green lantern must be pardoned for all sins and obey his command to prevent the other lantern rings from causing trouble.
Grace III agreed to the young girl's request, and the young girl kept her promise by choosing a suitable successor in Demacia, giving him the Blue Lantern Scepter, and then disappearing from the crowd with the other members of the Green Lantern tribe.
And although Demacia would still question the person who became the green lantern at first, Noxus soon learned that the green girl had left and made a comeback, only to be easily repelled again by the new blue lantern leader.
At this time, King Jiawen III completely believed in the new Blue Lantern Man, and appointed him as the Grand Sage of Demacia, putting him in charge of the search for other Lantern Rings, as well as the search for illegal magicians.
This is also why Red was stopped by a whole army when he first came to Demacia, because his Lantern Ring Energy Reaction had already been sensed by the other party.
"So the current situation is that if we don't get rid of this so-called green lantern leader, we can't negotiate with Demacia at all - and even they will keep getting me in trouble?"
Red frowned and looked at Lux, who looked a little complicated.
"Yes...... It's not just you, but there are other magicians who, if caught, will be sent to this great sage and brainwashed into a member of the Blue Lantern - I don't want to be like this! ”
"So, please help us..... Defeat the Great Sage—"
"Defeat Silas!"
