At Constantine's home, Russell sat on the sofa watching television. Fifteen hours had passed since the 'scum's burning at the stake' incident last night, and Constantine was still stubbornly alive.

Angela woke up just in time and was extremely grateful to Russell for saving her sister's soul. She then warmly and generously invited Russell to her house for a cup of coffee.

Let's not delay, let's do it tonight!

Russell pondered for a moment, then agreed, saying that coffee was good, as it was refreshing and could fight fatigue. He added that drinking ice water all the time was a good habit, but it would be nice to change things up occasionally.

Having agreed to the invitation, it would be inappropriate for him to set the fire himself.

After all, burning Constantine down one minute and then going to his girlfriend's house for coffee the next is just too much of a jerk.

To avoid becoming such a scoundrel, Russell entrusted the torch and the sacred mission of protecting the Earth's lower limits to Midnight, and then left with Angela.

However, as soon as the two walked out of the mental hospital building, Constantine angrily chased after them.

It's unclear what he said, but he gained the trust of Midnight and the others, turning enemies into friends once again, and they escaped and regained their freedom.

Now that Constantine was there, Russell had no chance to drink the coffee; the two of them spent a full two hours drinking it at Constantine's house.

Angela left refreshed after receiving a call from the police station asking her to work overtime, leaving behind a completely drunk Scummy Constantine.

Calling him 'Kang Zha' would be more appropriate at this point!

On television, news reports about the City of Angels were everywhere. Two angels and a Son of Hell were fighting over the ownership of Earth. In the end, Heaven appeared, and all the dead who were caught in the crossfire were resurrected...

Any one of these stories would be a sensational news story, and if put together, they could support journalists worldwide.

It's easy to imagine that for the next month, the TV station will continue to exploit this big news, broadcasting it in a variety of ways every day until the public gets tired of it.

Russell watched the footage on the camera—his confrontation with Gabriel, his face-to-face battle with Gabriel and Manmon, his switching between black and white vests, his thunderous attack on the abyss, his smashing open the gates of heaven to question injustice—and felt utterly bored.

From an outsider's perspective, he's already got no friends left, but experiencing it firsthand isn't something that happens in a short time.

"Boring news, utterly meaningless. Superficial humans have narrow perspectives. Heaven and hell are just things, nothing serious. They can just talk about them casually. Is it really necessary to make such a big fuss?" Russell shook his head repeatedly, continuing to switch channels, trying to find a report that had nothing to do with him.

However, he couldn't find it. He spent 15 hours, and all he got was his handsome face on the screen, nothing else.

This greatly worried Russell, who tried to prove that humans weren't so boring, but ultimately had to bow to reality.

He failed miserably. Humans are so boring!

"..."

You're the most boring one!

Constantine, speechless, snatched the remote, randomly switched a channel, and shoved the remote under his butt. "Dude, you still haven't answered my question."

Russell looked over, puzzled. "What's the problem? Didn't I already explain about the coffee?"

"That's not the issue!"

Constantine was furious. It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned, because it ignited his anger. If he hadn't been so eloquent and managed to escape in time, he would be green with envy by now.

"What was that question? Did you mention anything else?"

"I asked three times, didn't you hear me even once?"

Are you sure you want to ask?

"..."

Constantine grabbed the remote control, moved it from his left hand to his right, and then shoved it back under his buttocks.

Otherwise, what else could he possibly do but smash it in Russell's face?

This is something you can just think about.

Constantine heard about Russell's meeting with Satan. Russell relinquished his authority as the 'Son of Hell,' and Satan promised that the agreement would be permanent, allowing him to open the Hell's Gate at any time if Russell agreed.

This is terrible news, at least for Constantine, because if Russell is unhappy, he can put him face to face with Satan in no time.

Just bear with it, it'll pass!

Constantine took a deep breath and repeated his question for the fourth time, "Listen, what I want to ask is..."

Russell didn't hear what Constantine was saying; his attention was drawn to the news on the television, from the 'Coast City' TV station.

"What happened last night happened in mere seconds. It may not have shocked the world as much as the 'Angel Incident' in Los Angeles, but I believe this new hero will be a topic of discussion for a long time to come..."

In the video, a man wearing a green eye patch flashes by!

"The helicopter carrying Councilman Hammond tilted out of control and crashed into a private party below. Just as a tragedy was about to occur, a mysterious superhero appeared and miraculously moved the helicopter, saving innocent people from death and injury..."

"The question now is, who is this hero, and where is he now?"

Russell read the news without blinking, then silently apologized to the green hero mentioned in the news, feeling bad for stealing his headline.

But then I thought about it again and it didn't seem like a big deal. If I could tolerate being dressed in all green, what else couldn't I tolerate?

Last night marked the first public appearance of Green Lantern Hal Jordan, and it was a perfect opportunity to create a sensation and instantly become a household name.

As a result Archangel Gabriel and Son of Hell Mammon, appeared in Los Angeles one after another, both playing the role of supervillains, intending to turn the human world into a second Hell.

The two were practically invincible when they joined forces, but they were soundly beaten by Russell, who appeared out of nowhere, and both suffered a crushing defeat!

A crushing defeat!

Finally, Heaven makes a grand entrance, bringing the dead back to life and salvaging its lost face.

With something this big happening, who cares who Green Lantern is anymore!

Although his green hat was quite novel, it lacked a name and sensationalism, and was quickly overwhelmed by the overwhelming news wave of the 'Angel Incident'.

Only the Coast City Radio Station took pity on him and gave the local hero a shot; otherwise, no one would have known that such a person had ever appeared.

"Wade, this is terrible. It turns out I was partly responsible for the Canadians' flopping."

Russell sighed and thought to himself that this guy was just unlucky to be born at the Justice League time and was beyond saving.

As he spoke, Russell pulled out a map and a notebook from behind his back and remarked Coast City and Green Lantern, which he had previously crossed out.

Although the shot was fleeting, Russell was certain that the face was Deadpool before he was disfigured.

We've survived the worst of Los Angeles and Constantine, so what's wrong with taking a trip to those flop locations?

[World Quest: Big Event! How can you prove you were here without making a big fuss? (1/5)]

Having experienced the major events in the City of Angels, one-fifth of the World Quest has been completed. Green Lantern's appearance is exactly the same as the movie plot. If there are no surprises, the supervillain Parallax will also make his appearance, and in the next few days.

Russell decided to go and take a look. The World Quest was one thing, but the Parallax Character Card and the Green Lantern item card were the main reasons that attracted him.

The Green Lantern Ring, in particular, is highly coveted because Lantern Ring power has no upper limit; it's often referred to as the 'most powerful weapon in the universe.'

Looking at the map again, Coast City is also in California, very close to Los Angeles. You don't need to take a plane; it only takes a short drive.

Russell nodded to himself; this was the guidance of fate, and the Silly Bird of Coast City needed him.

By the way, next to Coast City is Star City, and the famous saying "You have let this city down" comes from Star City.

"Dude, are you even listening to me?"

Russell snapped out of his daze, his gaze falling on Constantine's handsome, furious face. He casually replied, "Uh... I heard you. Don't worry, leave this to me. I guarantee there won't be any problems."

After Russell finished speaking, he pushed open the window of Constantine's house, leaped onto the roof, and disappeared into the distance on Vertical Takeoff Glider.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will not be returning to Los Angeles.

Constantine stood at the window, waving repeatedly in the direction Russell had disappeared. "Buddy, remember to cancel the $5 million bounty order, you promised me."

Coast City!

The new superhero Hal Jordan stared blankly at the television screen. For a full 12 hours, he hadn't appeared on screen even once; all the footage was of angels, demons, heaven, and the like.

That's right, compared to these big shots, he is indeed insignificant, but he is still very capable!

Although he cannot easily destroy a city, nor can he summon wind and rain or thunder, nor can he bring hell down to earth and destroy the entire civilization of the planet, but...

He works so hard, and he's so green, what's wrong with giving him a shot?

"They actually said I have no identity and no explosive appeal? Humans are so superficial. The Green Lantern Corps is the largest organization in the entire universe. Do you think I would just spout nonsense?"

Hal looked annoyed, glanced at the sky outside, and after the Green Lantern was fully charged, he transformed into Green Lantern and went to find his crush Carol Ferris, to confide his sorrows.

In this materialistic society, only Carol's warm heart can bring him a touch of warmth.

Hal Jordan!

A superhero on an assembly line, where "assembly line" refers to the series of routines he goes through to become a superhero.

When I was young, I visited a flight demonstration and witnessed the pilot's father die in a plane crash.

After growing up, he followed in his father's footsteps... cough cough, followed in his father's footsteps and became a test pilot for Ferris Aircraft Manufacturing Company. His superior and colleague was his childhood sweetheart, who was also the daughter of the company's boss.

During a crucial flight exercise, while attempting to market his company's new aircraft (an AI-powered fighter jet) to the America military in a simulated combat scenario, he botched it, shooting down his own company's new aircraft with an F-35.

He used data and facts to prove that the F-35 is really good, while the new aircraft produced by his own company is just so-so.

I won't go into the details here, but why the military would have pilots from the other company conduct simulated combat exercises when purchasing aircraft.

Perhaps it was Ferris Aircraft Manufacturing Company's strength that allowed them to demonstrate to the military leaders that dragons truly exist in the world, and even a single one.
