• Ganthet demanded that Chu Hang hand over the Dark Trident under the Universal Security Act, but Chu Hang refused and defended himself against Ganthet’s Green Lantern constructs with his Law Domain.
• Ganthet burned his life essence to approach Peak Skyfather-level power, but Chu Hang released the trident and proposed taking it out of the universe when he returned home.

• Ganthet offered access to Oa’s Central Power Battery if Chu Hang helped deal with an unknown power that had destroyed three inhabited star systems, but Chu Hang refused to become his enforcer.
• Ganthet proposed that Chu Hang only accompany him to investigate the power’s source and offered his own Green Lantern Ring, which held thousands of years of accumulated willpower energy.

Chu Hang and Ganthet investigated the destruction of three star systems and discovered a rift that released a projection of the Anti-Monitor. Chu Hang failed to seal the passage, and the void force rebounding from it infected his hand.

• Chu Hang accepted Ganthet's invitation to investigate the destroyed star systems and traveled with him and Hal Jordan's Green Lanterns to the edge of Sector Zero.
• Chu Hang sensed a spatial vortex and sent a consciousness avatar inside, where it saw a shifting shadow that devoured the void before he severed the connection.
• The vortex expanded into a vast rift, and a colossal hand emerged, disintegrating Ganthet's shields as the Anti-Monitor's projection crawled through.
• Chu Hang attacked the hand with the Dark Trident and used his Law Domain to try to erase it, but the projection overcame both attacks.

• Chu Hang suppressed the spreading infection with his law of death, but the black patterns remained on his hand.

Chu Hang tried to use the Void Force mark on his hand to infiltrate the Anti-Monitor’s projection and destroy it from within. As the Anti-Monitor examined him and flooded him with more Void Force, Chu Hang struggled to keep his fragile Law Domain intact while the two forces began to merge.

• Ganthet told Chu Hang that the Anti-Monitor’s projection could not be driven away before the Guardians gathered enough power, and that entering it to destroy its consciousness core would likely erase him completely.
• Chu Hang released his suppression of the Black Noir mark and used his seven integrated laws to contain and guide the Void Force spreading through his body.
• Chu Hang amplified a faint resonance between Void Force and his laws until the Anti-Monitor noticed that he was imitating it.
• The Anti-Monitor compressed its projection and touched Chu Hang’s chest with a concentrated Void Force fingertip.
• Chu Hang directed the new Void Force into his prepared passage, and the two streams began to fuse without repelling each other.
