The Desire Serpent
Fear.
Endless fear.
Yellow Lantern Hal hadn't made a move yet, but just standing there already gave those around him Jordan strong sense of pressure.
Indigo-1, who was facing him directly, could not help but feel a chill rising from the bottom of her heart.
Yellow Lantern Hal vanished from his spot in an instant, and suddenly appeared in front of Indigo-1 with a punch, whistling as it slammed towards her cane.
A deafening roar suddenly erupted, and yellow and blue shockwaves exploded instantly, sending Indigo-1 flying backward, leaving a blue trail in the air.
"Interesting, so your fear is me?" Green Lantern laughed, forming a massive fist that collided with Yellow Lantern Hal.
In that instant, Yellow Lantern Hal's body was blasted apart, scattering into yellow light.
"Hal Jordan!" Amon Su roared, "Why are you stopping me! You don't deserve that Ring, you bastard!"
"You simply don't understand—" Green Lantern casually deflected Amon Sue's furious attack, "That was Abin Sue's choice."
"Just like how he chose you as his heir? That only proves he was wrong," Amon Su said with a sneer. "Come on, fear me!"
The yellow light formed various terrifying things: zombies, spiders, guns, Chainsaw —all attacking Green Lantern.
"I have no fear." The green light exploded from Green Lantern's Ring like a bolt of lightning, dispelling everything constructed by the Yellow Lantern.
"Alright, Hal." The Flash appeared behind Green Lantern and patted him on the shoulder. "Do you want to extinguish all the other colored lights?"
"Barry?" The red light in Green Lantern's eyes faded. "What happened?"
"Because of your outrageous actions on Valentine's Day, it seems you've sparked a war between the Seven Lantern Corps," The Flash said helplessly, watching the Yellow Lantern fly towards them. He casually unleashed a lightning-fast strike, creating a massive storm that blew them away.
"I saw this Prophecy in the Book of Oa." Green Lantern seemed to recall something, "The Seven Lanterns of Lust will one day witness Color Light War— "
"But it seems like one color is missing," The Flash said after thinking for a moment.
"Roland?" The two exchanged a glance, both sensing something was amiss. How could Roland be absent from such a lively scene? Something just didn't seem right.
Gotham City.
"Now you know who's the boss, huh?" Roland held up a huge, ugly, fat orange snake, shaking it occasionally.
"Roland, what's this—" The Flash arrived at Roland Cathedral and saw this scene, asking in great confusion, "This—it's not the Lantern Entity, is it?"
"Hmm, Orange Lantern Beast Lust Python, this long serpent appeared out of nowhere and wants to swallow me." Roland shook the Lust Python. Although it was already half dead, its eyes still gleamed with a greedy orange light, constantly looking in Roland's direction.
In ancient times, there were seven types of emotional energy beings that entered the DC Universe from the chaotic Universe Source Wall, and they correspond to the seven emotions on the Emotional Spectrum.
In a Green Lantern Universe created by Hal Jordan, Green Lantern and Roland faced the Lantern Entity, which possessed the ability to coexist with their hosts, while some hosts could control the Lantern Entity in reverse.
"Would you like to try controlling it?" The Flash asked.
"Yeah, do you really think this guy can control me in reverse?"
"That's unlikely." The Flash shook his head. Could this fat snake really control Roland?
"Is that so?" Roland pried open the Desire Serpent's mouth and slipped inside as if putting on clothes.
"----This thing is symbiotic; shouldn't it be that it enters your body?" The Flash felt that something was off.
"As long as it works," Roland said, transforming into a snake-man. "How is it? Does it look good?"
"----Let's forget about it." The Flash watched Roland flick his long, fat tail. "Hmm----looks pretty strong----"
"Really? But I feel the blessing it brings me is quite limited," Roland said.
"Then you should come out, this is really—" The Flash couldn't find the words to describe it for a moment.
Roland looked in the mirror and immediately accepted the Flash's suggestion. He took off the Desire Serpent, used several beams of Holy Light Desire Serpent lock it up, and hung it in the Kitchen.
"Forget it, I can wear it during the Color Light War and the Blackest Night." Roland pouted.
"Oh, the Color Light War is over," The Flash said.
"Huh?" Roland was taken aback. "What are you talking about?"
"Just now, Hal took on the entire Yellow Lantern Corps by himself, and also Jonathan Kent and Carol from the Red Light." The Flash shrugged. "He almost beat me up too."
"No, I haven't participated yet."
"Didn't you get captured by the Desire Serpent at home?" The Flash said. "Although it wasn't the same location, it was the same time, so I guess I included you in that count."
"Then we're missing one color, the Teal Lantern?"
"Indigo-1 exchanged a few blows with Amon Sue of the Yellow Lantern Corps; she's here to mediate the war," The Flash explained.
"Tsk—" Roland curled his lip, "Now that the Color Light War is over, the Blackest Night isn't far off, is it?"
Oa.
"This war is the second chapter of the Hidden Chapter of the Book of Oa. We must stop what is about to happen, or the Universe will begin to fall into the Destiny described in the third and final chapter."
"We have known its power ever since we perceived that living beings unconsciously created emotions."
"Thoughts and feelings combine to form a unique Emotional Spectrum, and we return to the color of balance, the central color, the color of life—green."
"It is the concentrated essence of Willpower, and the source of the Green Lantern Corps' strength."
"The battle Hal just experienced was a manifestation of the power of fear. Like Willpower, fear is one of the seven living energies on the spectrum, the color of terror—yellow."
"The Zamarons, a tribe that split off from the Guardians, have long since explored the secrets at the far end of the Emotional Spectrum through their experiments, one of their achievements being Star Sapphire."
They embody the color of love—purple.
"They also find that the further away from the center of the Emotional Spectrum, the greater the influence of its power on the user."
"At the other end of the Emotional Spectrum, a force of hatred rises, and the Red Light will be baptized in blood, its user's Wrath pure and Frenzy."
"A small team, weaving a blue light of Compassion, attempts to spread kindness throughout the Universe."
"At the same time, the orange light of Greed, controlled by a powerful and insatiable creature, will also become known."
"If we cannot prevail in terms of strength, Blue Light will provide moral support."
"The Seven Lantern Corps is born, they shine brightly, they wage war."
"The Prophecy says that when the Emotional Spectrum shines even brighter, Color Light War begins in earnest, the skies of every world will darken."
"The hissing of the shadows heralds the end of our era; the Blackest Night will descend upon each and every one of us, without discrimination, without mercy, and without reason."
"The Seven Lantern Corps will fall, and so will the Universe."
