As a fanatic for movies, games, and anime, he was no stranger to this ring. It didn't come from the Marvel Universe, but from another superhero universe: the DC Universe.
The most iconic superheroes in the DC Universe were Batman and Superman.
And this ring was one of the DC Universe's divine artifacts!
"What a massive profit!"
Han Yu couldn't bear to put down the Green Lantern Ring in his hand. He loved it not only because it was a divine artifact, but also because of its properties!
The Green Lantern Ring could materialize imagined objects and people, and its upper limit depended entirely on its wielder's willpower.
As luck would have it, Han Yu possessed the Undying Divine Seal, an ability that brought his mental power to the very peak.
It was the basic ability the system had bound to Han Yu when he arrived here.
The name might have sounded badass, but in reality... it really was badass.
Undying: although it didn't make him truly immortal, it brought Han Yu's body and mind to unprecedented heights. He could even attack directly with his tremendous mental power.
The overwhelming aura he had used to intimidate the Six Paths of Pain earlier had come from his powerful mental strength.
And as for the Divine Seal, surely everyone knew the famous Highfather-level god of the Marvel Universe, Thor's father, All-Father Odin?
Han Yu was now a supreme god in no way inferior to a Highfather-level god!
With a thought from Han Yu, streams of green light surged from the Green Lantern Ring on his finger, transforming into various figures before him.
The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Pleasant Goat, Big Big Wolf, SpongeBob SquarePants...
Every character Han Yu imagined materialized perfectly, without a single detail out of place.
Delighted, Han Yu suddenly frowned and looked at the Lantern Ring on his hand. As he recalled, there seemed to be something that went with the ring, so why hadn't it appeared?
After spending quite a while searching through his personal information list and confirming that it really wasn't there, even someone as composed as Han Yu couldn't help exclaiming in shock.
"This ring doesn't have a lantern!"
Every Lantern Ring came with a matching lantern to charge the Green Lantern Ring, but Han Yu had only received a ring, with no lantern.
It wasn't a time-limited weapon exchanged for upgrade points, so it couldn't possibly be used up in one go.
What did that mean?
It meant that this ring's energy was very likely limitless!
Han Yu let out a long, slightly shaky breath. Excitement blazed in his eyes, and he could barely contain himself.
Green Lantern Energy could be shared. Since his Green Lantern Ring had limitless energy, he could use its ability to materialize energy to create dozens or even hundreds of Green Lantern Rings, with the mother ring in Han Yu's hand controlling the subsidiary rings.
In the end, that would be enough to create an army!
Green Lanterns, a Green Lantern Corps!
Light flickered in Han Yu's eyes. In the DC superhero stories he knew, the Green Lantern Corps was a superpowered corps that managed the entire universe.
If he could create one in the Marvel Universe, which still depended largely on technology, he really would be able to swagger around unchecked.
The Green Lantern Corps was a true army of superpowered beings!
"I have to master this ring as soon as possible. It's going to be my strongest source of combat power!"
Han Yu pushed open the door and went to a door beneath the stairs on the second floor. It looked like a storeroom for odds and ends, but when he pushed the door open and entered, the space inside was astonishingly large.
From the outside, the little storeroom looked to be less than a few square meters, but inside it was over a hundred square meters!
"The alternate space I opened up with five upgrade points is finally coming in handy."
Looking over the space, Han Yu had a thought, and its interior transformed to resemble a modern city, albeit with obvious boundaries.
Han Yu's general store wasn't just a simple building. Although it appeared to have only three floors from the outside, the number of floors inside depended on Han Yu.
Ten upgrade points could add a floor, and each floor came with five rooms. The rooms' interiors could also be altered using upgrade points.
Han Yu had placed this alternate space of over a hundred square meters in the storeroom beneath the stairs on the second floor, specifically for practice or testing newly acquired items.
Han Yu casually turned his hand over, and Green Lantern Energy gathered above his palm, condensing into an emerald-green palm print.
He thrust his hand forward, and the palm-sized emerald print grew larger and larger as it flew. By the time it struck the target building, it was twenty or thirty meters across.
The part of the building more than ten stories tall that had been struck turned to dust in an instant, and the building collapsed to the ground.
"So powerful! As expected of a Green Lantern Ring with limitless energy. I didn't even use a tenth of my strength, yet I destroyed a building. Its destructive power is even greater than Hyorinmaru's!"
Han Yu grinned. As he remembered it, Green Lantern fought almost exclusively by materializing objects.
But Han Yu was different. Born in China, he was extremely fond of wuxia and xianxia novels, and their dazzling martial techniques and Dou Techniques had been a particular favorite of his in his youth.
That had also laid the foundation for Han Yu's fighting style. Aside from blades and swords, his other means of attack involved using these energies to fight with Dou Techniques and martial techniques.
Han Yu spent the entire night in the storeroom training with the Green Lantern Ring. Even the alternate space created by the system could only withstand fifty percent of his power; any more would make the space collapse.
By the time Han Yu emerged from the storeroom, it was already noon the next day. He gave a deep stretch. Training all night had left him feeling hungry enough to eat a whole cow.
Han Yu pinched his index finger and thumb together, and a Senzu Bean appeared between them. He tossed it into his mouth, and his hunger vanished instantly, leaving him full.
Although his hunger was gone, Han Yu still intended to go back and get some sleep. To him, sleeping was one of life's great pleasures. If becoming a god meant he could no longer sleep, wouldn't he lose a great joy?
Just as Han Yu was about to return to his room for some sleep, he heard the clear chime of wind bells downstairs.
"A customer?"
Han Yu tidied himself up and headed downstairs.
He had just reached the bottom when the door to the general store was pushed open.
Han Yu was a little surprised by the visitor's familiar face. He had seen the man on television a few days ago, after he had just taken down a villain's hideout.
The visitor was Iron Man of the Avengers, Tony Stark!
Stark entered the general store and saw its utterly ordinary interior. It seemed different from what he had imagined.
He went back to the entrance and examined the sign above the door several times, then checked the business card in his hand. Only after repeatedly confirming that he was in the right place did Stark walk over to Han Yu behind the counter.
"Hello, I'd like to speak to your store manager."
Stark walked toward Han Yu while looking around. Only when he saw that there seemed to be no one else in the store did he speak to him.
"That's me."
Han Yu smiled and answered quite naturally.
He was used to this. On a first meeting, hardly anyone believed he was the manager here. After all, the things in his store weren't things ordinary people could come into contact with.
Han Yu even thought it would be perfectly normal for someone to assume he was an old man over a hundred years old.
"You are?"
As expected, Stark looked surprised. He examined Han Yu again and again, finding it hard to believe that someone so young was the manager here.
"What do you need? This general store has everything."
Han Yu put on a professional fake smile and asked.
After studying Han Yu for quite a while, Stark sighed and said with a self-mocking smile, "I must have been stupid to believe a place like this could solve my problem."
With a soft sigh, Stark had no desire to say anything more to Han Yu. He turned toward the door, ready to leave.
Just as he was about to grasp the doorknob, a sentence from Han Yu stopped his hand in midair.
"I know you're afraid that what happened in New York will happen again, and I also know you haven't been able to develop a suit of armor you're satisfied with."
Han Yu was referring to an alien invasion that had taken place a few months ago. That attack had told the people of Earth that they were not the only highly intelligent life in the universe.
Stark spun around and stared at Han Yu in shock, astonished that he knew what was on his mind.
After the Battle of New York, when the aliens had invaded, he had fallen into an unprecedented state of anxiety.
He was afraid something similar would happen again, and afraid that when it did, he wouldn't be able to stop it. Then he would have to watch helplessly as the people he loved were hurt, or even killed.
