I Am Trash

Sinestro's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not answer.

"If you want power, sign the contract."

Kino left with a contract; he wanted a Yellow Lantern leader, not Green Lantern.

Sinestro stared at the contract on the ground.

After some time, I heard footsteps behind me.

Sinestro instinctively picked up the contract from the ground and hid it in his pocket.

They are the Green Lantern who have lost their rings.

Their last memory was of Sinestro fighting Darkseid, and then they fell unconscious.

They were awakened by the will energy impacting the entire Oa, and they also saw the pillar of light in the direction of the temple.

They rushed over in a hurry.

"Sinestro, your hand."

Merman Green Lantern looked worried, while the other Green Lantern were also indignant and gritted their teeth.

Where did Darkseid go?

Someone asked, puzzled.

"... After he defeated me, he went to the temple, seemingly disdaining to kill me."

Sinestro concealed the emotions in his eyes.

Some noticed his unusual behavior, but assumed it was due to the Green Lantern Corps' defeat, since everyone was in low spirits at the moment.

"Let's go to the temple first."

One of the Green Lantern said.

The others agreed.

A group of Green Lantern arrived at the temple.

"Darkseid has been defeated. The Green Lantern Ring will be remade. You all should focus on recovering from your injuries."

The guardians sat high on the throne, their expressions majestic.

"Yes! We won't lose next time."

The Green Lantern were in high spirits.

Only Sinestro looked up at the guardians.

His once towering figure now appeared so small.

Do they, so insignificant and evil, deserve to sit so high?

He raised his hand and gently touched the spot on his chest, where the contract was hidden.

Kino then traveled to the Antimatter Universe, Ysmault, Oderon, Zanatos, and Asgard.

The Seven Lantern Energy was obtained as a sample.

Vega Galaxy, Kara Star.

Boom boom boom!

Red Omega Ray are destroying all life on this planet—no, they can't be called life, they're just energy bodies.

The puppet, resurrected after being killed by Larfleeze, fearlessly charged towards Darkseid.

"Damn it! My city, my army, everything I have!"

Larfleeze watched with heartache as the city crumbled and the ghostly army surged forth.

Give me the orange lamp energy.

Kino looked at the lamp in his arms.

"Impossible! This is mine, and you are mine too. Mine, mine, all mine!"

Larfleeze clutched the lamp in his arms tightly, his eyes filled with greed and a bloodthirsty desire.

The Lantern Ring in his hand emitted an orange glow, releasing more translucent orange phantoms.

They are strangely shaped, wielding rifles, swords, bows and arrows, giant squid, five-meter-tall giants, and even the ghosts that Kino had previously defeated.

However, their forms are more solid than before.

"Based on the maximum value, the Orange Lantern Ring should be the strongest of the Seven Rings, but it also has a significant impact on the user."

This guy has been consumed by desire, becoming a monster that will never be satisfied.

Freezing breath.

Kino took a deep breath, and a cold wind swept across the city in front of him.

The Orange Lantern Larfleeze's constructs's movements became increasingly sluggish, until it finally turned into an ice sculpture, frozen in place.

Kino arrived in Larfleeze people were shivering from the cold.

He was enveloped in the orange lamp's energy; he wasn't frozen, but he lost the ability to move.

"Stop, stop! This is mine, and so are yours!"

Larfleeze stared at the hand reaching for the furnace, his eyes blazing with unprecedented greed, and the ring glowed with an orange light that enveloped the entire city.

The frozen Orange Lantern Larfleeze's constructs began to melt and lunged at Kino once more.

Kino bent his finger and flicked Larfleeze on the forehead.

Larfleeze rolled her eyes and collapsed to the ground, dizzy. The Orange Lantern Larfleeze's constructs also dissipated, but even so, it still clung tightly to the lamp burner.

Kino took the lamp burner from his arms, and now he had all Seven Lantern Furnaces in his possession.

"Give it back to me, it's mine!"

Larfleeze awoke once again just after the lamps were taken away.

Kino kicked him away, opening Sound Burst Channel to return to Earth.

[Aren't you going to recruit this guy? He has a lot of potential.]

Venom asked, puzzled.

"He who can't even control his own desires is nothing but a piece of trash."

[Aren't you the same way?]

"I am merely enjoying myself, not indulging in it. When I am doing serious business, I will never be swayed by my desires. I am the Demon King."

[I was planning to do Tifa and 2B tonight, but now I can only...]

"I'm sorry, I'm useless."

[...]

Black Adam was covered in burns, and he was standing on a burly man wearing a similar uniform.

"Who are you? Why do you have the same power as me?!"

The burly man gripped the Black Adam's ankle tightly with both hands, trying to stop the foot from pressing down further.

"Say that word now, and I'll spare your life."

Black Adam spoke coldly, pressing harder with his foot, the sole of his shoe gradually sinking into the burly man's body.

Click, click!

The sound of bones breaking could be heard.

"Aaaaaaah-"

The burly man's eyes were bloodshot, and he kept spitting out blood. His once invincible superhuman strength had become useless.

Shazam!

Black Adam vanished the moment he uttered that word.

A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, and the burly man transformed back into a thin, homeless man.

"Sand..."

Just as he was about to utter the word again, a shadow fell upon him.

Splat!

Black Adam released the boulder from his grasp, and blood slowly flowed from beneath it.

Black Adam did not let his guard down. Instead, following Ra's al Ghul's instructions, he flew into the sky and quickly confirmed that no one was around.

"Shazam."

A bolt of lightning struck from above, and the transformation was dispelled.

Shazam!

The two bolts of lightning struck from above, their powerful energy destroying the surrounding land.

A brand new Black Adam appeared in the same spot.

The uniform was still black, but the lightning bolt emblem on the chest had changed from gold to blue, though there were now more murky black spots inside.

With a wave of his hand, countless bolts of lightning, like mad snakes, ravaged the barren mountain.

"The power is good, about twice as strong as before."

Black Adam withdrew his lightning and bowed slightly to Kino, who had appeared out of nowhere.

"Thank you for the opportunity, Chief."

"Hmm, how are you feeling?"

"I've become more powerful than before, but a person can only possess a maximum of three portions of divine power; any more and I might die."

"Hmm, this is probably because your foundation is a bit weak. We'll have Ra's al Ghul inject you with Enhancement Potion."

"Yes."

Kino opened a portal and sent Black Adam back; he still had two things to do.

First, they took Lazarus Pit from this world, and then they went to Gotham.
