"Queen Aga'po? That life form from Sector 2814?" "That human?"

"Carol Ferris, she is still resisting the guidance of the Star Sapphire and acting according to her own Willpower."

"As long as the result of that Willpower is the Love's Fragrant Aura, it's not something unacceptable," said Aga'po, the former queen of the Zamarons. "Besides—with those two people watching, how do you plan to let Star Sapphire replace her Willpower?"

"Uh----" The Zamarons looked at the man and woman sitting on the throne, thought for a moment, and then shut his mouth.

"On the bright side, she's stronger than we hoped." Queen Aga'po directed people to bring food to Roland and Wonder Woman. "Carol Ferris is more experienced than any of us in using the purple light of love, and she's developed a degree of immunity to the control of Star Sapphire —she's the perfect person to tame the Plunderer."

"Um----

"You two seem to be having a pretty leisurely time," Carol said helplessly as she flew in from outside the door, looking at the two people sitting on the throne. "I'm holding meetings every day to arrange for the Zamarons to make contacts with various Legion, and you're just going to watch?"

"I've saved you a sixth of the work, isn't that enough?" Roland shook the hand wearing the Orange Lantern Ring. "Besides, I have no experience in how to be a queen, you should let Diana tell you."

"I'm a lone commander now. Although I'm the King of the Gods, I don't have many gods under my command," Diana shrugged. "Here..."

"I don't have much experience in that area either."

"At least give me some advice," Carol said. "The Alliance is making progress, but this time the Zamarons want my help to bridge the gap between the Green Lantern Corps and Star Sapphire. They want the Guardians to open their hearts to love again—"

They also want everyone to do the same.

"Tell them directly that the Green Lantern Corps is no longer under the Guardians' control," Roland said. "Here's what we'll do: send a message to Green Lantern and have him send over a few troublemaking little blue guys to brainwash the Zamarons in front of them using Star Sapphire."

"Good idea." Wonder Woman nodded.

"And what about the Red Lantern Corps? The Zamarons captured several members of the Red Lantern Corps and forcibly incorporated them into the Violet Lantern Corps," Carol said dejectedly. "I don't even dare to contact Atrocitus, afraid he'll come and kill us at the slightest provocation."

"Atrocitus— " Roland thought for a moment, "This guy is easy to deal with, just separate him from the Red Lantern Corps."

"What do you mean? Isn't he the leader of the Red Lantern Corps?" Carol asked, puzzled.

"To put it simply, in terms of leadership alone, Sinestro is undoubtedly the best in the Seven Lantern Corps, and Atrocitus is undoubtedly the worst. This guy isn't much different from Butcher's Nail," Roland said after thinking for a moment. "I've talked about this with Superboy-Prime Red Lantern Corps. In the entire Red Lantern Corps, apart from that cat, almost no one truly obeyed Atrocitus. They all obeyed him out of coercion."

"Guy Gardner? Isn't that Hal's friend?" Carol was taken aback. "When did he infiltrate the Red Lantern Corps?"

"Parallel Universe," Wonder Woman explained. She had a pretty good relationship with Superboy-Prime, so she naturally knew a bit about it.

"So we're sending Guy Gardner undercover now?" Carol asked.

"Why bother with all that? Don't we already have a Red Light member?" Roland raised his chin.

"Yes, that makes sense." Wonder Woman nodded. "Just send him a message."

Roland adjusted the Orange Lantern Ring, and soon, Superman's face appeared on it.

"Hi, Roland, Diana, hope you're having a good time on the other side of the Universe," Superman greeted them while brushing his teeth.

"Hey, Clark," Roland said to Superman, "We need your help."

"----Okay." Superman said after a moment of silence.

"Is there a problem?" Wonder Woman asked, noticing Superman's hesitant expression. "Has something happened on Earth?"

"No, it's just that Jonathan Kent has been a bit... extra energetic lately," Superman said helplessly. "Lois and our parents can't keep an eye on him, so I'm on maternity leave and staying home right now."

"Aren't there Superboy-Prime, Conner, and Kara?" Roland asked. "Can't they help you take care of the kids?"

"Don't even mention it." Superman shook his head. "If it were your child, would you dare leave him in the care of those three?"

"----why not?"

"Now I suddenly understand why Lola acted that way." Superman's lips twitched. "Conner is planning to take Jonathan Kent out for Universe race: the stories Kara told Jonathan Kent were really not good for a child's development—as for Superboy-Prime, he wants to take Jonathan Kent to other parallel Universe; I don't even want to think about what might happen."

"How about this, I'll make do and help you take care of the baby for a while," Roland suggested.

"----I rejected them, and then sent the child to you?" Superman gave a very complicated look.

"What do you mean by that?" Roland said unhappily.

"Give me a break. One Church kid isn't enough for you to mess with? Leave Jonathan Kent alone." Wonder Woman glanced at Roland. "Clark, if you're interested, I can help you look after Jonathan Kent for a while. I do have some experience taking care of children—"

"Come on, do you think you have as much experience as me?" Roland rolled his eyes. "Besides, you've only ever taken care of little girls. Now, if I put you in charge of Little Boy, could you handle it? I'll have to do it."

"Are the parenting styles for little girls on Themyscira very different from those for boys?" Wonder Woman retorted.

He said, "Boys in the civilized world don't need to fight Hydra one-on-one."

"Maybe I should talk to Bruce," Superman sighed. "He really does have a son."

"Are you kidding me?" Roland slammed his hand on the table. "That evil Old Bat might lock the Jonathan Kent in Kryptonite cage because he can't catch him!"

"Gotham City is so dark you never see the sun. Do you think a Krypton kid could live there?" Wonder Woman said. "That also means Roland Cathedral is out of the question."

"----Do you Jonathan Kent that much?" Superman looked at the two men, puzzled. When did his son become so popular?
