Heroes are always made of scars.

At least for everyone in the Justice League, they have a past that they can't forget. Despite the cruelty for them personally, it was those traumas and the darkest moments that made great heroes.

For Hal Jordan, it was the day his childhood father fell.

When Hal opened his eyes again, he had returned to that day. He realized that he had become the same kid again, skipping class and running to the side of the airstrip just to see his father fly the fighter jet into the air.

For him, his father is his hero, and he has vowed to pursue the goal since he was a child.

"No, no, it's all in the past"

Hal struggled to resist the images that flooded his mind, but to little avail. They seemed so real, as if they were in the middle of it, and they had become the helpless children again.

He felt his father's hand caress his head for the last time, and he could even feel the warmth of his palm.

He yelled desperately as his father turned to walk to the cockpit, trying to warn him not to board that plane, but to no avail. This is the "history" that has been set for a long time, and it develops along the established trajectory of destiny. He was just a spectator in the middle of it, forced to watch the tragedy happen again.

"No, these aren't real" Little Hal thrashed his head, trying to wake himself up.

But that seems so real. He saw his father in the cockpit and saw the generals of the army and the bearer of Ferris aviation. And his daughter, Carol, even the little girl looked exactly like she remembered, her snow-white skin was as transparent as the sun shone.

"My dad was flying that plane." Little Hal said proudly.

Little Carol pouted and said proudly, "My dad owns that plane." ”

It's exactly the same, even the words are the same as back then. Hal knew what was about to happen, and he shouted silently, but no one heard. He tried desperately to move forward, but his body wouldn't listen.

He could even hear his father's last call.

"This thing is going to crash, Ferris. It's going to fall on your head and Seaside but if I let it fall here. No one else would be hurt here. ”

It was the last act of the pilot's life.

He gave up the struggle and, in order to avoid the possibility of more injuries, took the initiative to dive the burning plane to the ground.

At the end of the explosion, he said something.

But already overwhelmed by the supersonic roar and the explosions that followed.

"What did you say? Father? Hal shouted, "Tell me, what did you say!?" ”

Explosion, everything is swept up in it, as if the whole world is falling apart. Hal fell to his knees, and a voice rang in his ears as he was surrounded by unprecedented fear.

"So great Hal Jordan, that's what you fear"

"You'll never know what he said, will you? Was he really fearless all his life? ”

"Or was he actually surrounded by fear at the end of his life?"

Yellow fear is like an endless sea of water, unconsciously seeping into the space of consciousness and filling the entire realm.

"Maybe at the end of his life, after all, he will end up in fear, just like you?"

"There is no such thing as fearless, fear is the answer to everything. Because fear is all about being superior, and no one can be above it, not even you, Hal Jordan! ”

The entire space had been flooded, and only Howl's location remained. He fell to his knees and was surrounded on all sides. It was a collection of hundreds of yellow light fear energies, and the strongest of wills would be swallowed up by it.

Or rather, that's how it should be.

But Hal Jordan, opened his eyes.

The yellow tide stopped, and it seemed that no one could continue to advance despite all his might. The empty voice couldn't help but become stunned.

"Why are you still resisting? Why still not accept fear? ”

"You should be one of us!"

Hal raised his head and said coldly, "So that's what you're talking about?" Bring me down to your level and let me be in the same league as Senisto?

Sorry, excuse me. ”

He stood up, looked around, and said in a cold but firm voice.

"You don't understand anything. Yes, I will never know what my father said in his last moments. Even someone like him might be terrified in the face of death? Maybe.

But what matters is not at all how he feels, but what he does.

He made the right and difficult choice, he gave up his chance to live to avoid hurting the innocent. Even though he was afraid, he made the right decision, and that's what he taught me. ”

Hal raised his voice as he said this, and jerked up his right fist.

At this time, I saw that above his right fist, the place where the lamp ring had been shattered and should have been empty actually burst out of thin air with green light!

The green light seemed to condense under the guidance of his will, converging in one place, and re-conjuring the shape of the lantern ring, and the brilliance was even more dazzling than before!

The Yellow Lantern Demon who witnessed this scene was shocked beyond measure.

"This, this, this. How can it be??? ”

"He just created a green light ring himself!?"

This is already a situation that breaks through the common sense of the spectrum, and belongs to the situation outside the "law". No matter how strong the will is, it needs to unleash the weapon, and it needs to navigate the path of the spectrum. Even if he Harl Jordan's will to break through the sky, he is only a lampman after all, and he is nothing without the lantern ring.

If you say that you will change into a lamp ring, then you still need those guardians to have P?

"You don't know anything about my father, and you don't know anything about Green Lantern!"

Hal burst out with green light and shouted.

"You are right, no one can be fearless. My father can't, and neither can I.

But the so-called Green Lantern is not to be fearless, but to have the awareness to face fear and overcome it! ”

Howl's eyes burned with green, and the yellow sea around him was dispelled by green light. The dark background disappears, resurfacing the planet's original landscape.

There was a yellow lantern demon who felt the majestic will that came back with the lantern ring, and stammered: "Impossible, his willpower is in. But there are more than 100 of us, and he only has one."

Even if the willpower is against the sky, isn't it too outrageous to rely on the will of only one person to contend with it, and in turn suppress the collection of fear energy of more than a hundred people? ?

The first batch of yellow lights finally understood the meaning of Senisto's order to "retreat immediately when he saw Hal Jordan".

This Lampman is a complete monster!

"Evil people traitor party, afraid of my divine light"

Hal waved the Lamp Ring.

"The green light is always bright, and the light is shining forever!"

An even more exaggerated burst of green light than before. It's as if the previous light ring distributed by the Guardian is restricting his performance due to hardware performance, and now Hal has a new light ring hand-rubbed on the spot by the Idealistic Explosive Seed, and the power is even more than before!

The yellow flames were extinguished, and a surging green light rose into the sky, piercing the atmosphere and rushing into the endless starry sky.

A moment later.

"Whew~"

Hal let out a long sigh and floated in the air to look at the yellow lantern demon that had fallen into a large area, and then looked at the lamp ring in his hand.

"It's true. New situation. ”

He fought with reckless instinct, acting before the plan passed through his brain. Now that he had passed through the audience by instinct, and looked down at his new light ring, even Hal himself was surprised in hindsight.

"yes, only guardians can create a light ring, where did I get this?"

Hal began to be confused.

Although it seemed that he had made a self-made lamp ring and it was very good, he couldn't figure out how it worked at all. It feels like a programmer rolls out a bunch of bugs on the keyboard, but the program somehow runs on its own

"Warning." The Lantern Ring reminds that "a new enemy is approaching, and the enemy is much stronger than the previous one"

Rumble!!!

A heavy fall is like breaking through the surface of a planet. A blast of golden energy spread across the ground, and a short figure floated in the air in a billowing yellow smoke screen and light.

"Good at what you do, Hal Jordan."

Hal saw the appearance of the person clearly, and his pupils constricted.

That looks like a Guardian.

A guardian possessed by the light of fear.
