"Boom----"

A burst of crimson flames exploded, sending Atrocitus flying. Superman caught him mid-air, and Athocitas began coughing up blood.

Blood ignited on the ground, but Superman quickly exhaled his icy breath to extinguish it.

"Are you alright, Atrocitus?" Superman asked with concern.

"I'm fine, this is Blood Prophecy," Atrocitus said, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. "I've been granted permission to see into the contents of spacetime in exchange for a price."

"What did you see?" Superman asked.

"And I saw it—I saw all the suffering that exists and will happen—so much torment, so much atrocity." Atrocitus looked at his blood-stained hands, the Red Lantern Ring gleaming on them. "So many people who deserve to suffer, those who truly need to pay the price for their actions—from the frigid mountains of Afghanistan to the desolate streets of Oa, the entire Universe cries out for revenge."

"That's terrible," Superman sighed.

"But beyond that, I also see hope, Carl." Atrocitus looked intently at Superman. "I will punish those who deserve retribution; I will become the instrument of revenge. To accomplish this great task, I need help."

Do you want me to help you?

"I want to hand over the Red Lantern Corps to you."

"Huh?" Superman was taken aback. He hadn't figured out how to politely bring up the matter with Atrocitus before bringing it up, but Atrocitus had just brought it up so directly.

Are you going to refuse?

"No, I accept."

Red Lantern Corps headquarters.

"Therefore, Carl will be your new leader from now on," Atrocitus announced to the Red Lantern.

"Wrath---- Carl ----What----Hatred----Blood----Rage----" However, the Red Lantern didn't react much and started fighting again.

"It seems I need to bring them back to their senses," Atrocitus said.

"So you do have a way to restore them to normal." Superman stroked his chin. He didn't know much about the Red Lantern Ring, and his understanding of it was different from that of a normal Red Lantern.

For the Red Lantern, once the Red Lantern Ring is worn, it replaces the user's heart, and the blood is replaced by a burning red energy liquid. Therefore, removing the Red Lantern Ring basically means death, unless Blue Lantern helps, just like when the Flash helped Jonathan Kent. remove the Red Lantern Ring.

But Superman is a completely different case. After he puts on the Red Lantern Ring, apart from his temper getting a little worse, he is basically no different from usual, and his reaction is not as great as when he is affected by red Kryptonite.

"Of course." Atrocitus picked up Bleez and threw him into the Blood Ocean next to the Red Lantern Corps's camp.

A dense stream of bubbles erupted from beneath the Blood Ocean. Superman frowned. "She looks like she's in a lot of pain."

"If you're lucky, the pain will be even more intense." Atrocitus nodded. "That means it's working; Ysmault's mucus is entering her brain, opening up old neural pathways and creating new ones."

Beneath the Blood Ocean.

Bleez felt her thoughts racing, countless voices echoing in her mind.

How long did I sink?

Hatred. Hatred. Burning. Blood.

Who I am?

Hatred. Wrath. Boiling. Burning.

Anger surged within me.

Bliss. I am.

Suddenly, the descent stopped.

No sound. Quiet.

Bleez gradually rose from the Blood Ocean, and the higher she rose, the clearer her mind became.

"What an ugly and desolate wasteland. I've never really known it before," Bleez exclaimed, looking around.

"You're angry with me because I forced you through this change—but now you're wise enough to realize how grateful you are to me," Atrocitus said.

"My understanding is—this is by no means an altruistic act. You caused me to go through this transformation because of your selfish reasons."

"Perhaps. But I've returned your wisdom to you."

You've returned my pain to me!

"You will overcome the pain, Bleez." Atrocitus spread his hands. "We all have to go through this—I need your wisdom."

"Hmph—" Bleez walked straight past Atrocitus, extended his hand to Superman, "Hello, let's reintroduce ourselves, I'm Bleez."

"Carl -El." Superman extended his hand and shook hands with Bleez.

"Alright, leave those guys to me. I won't let them fight each other," Bleez said to Superman. "Boss."

Just call me Carl.

"You decide."

"Perhaps she wasn't much different from them before, but they listened to her quite a bit," Atrocitus said to Superman. "That's a good start."

"Alright, you can leave now," Bleez said coldly to Atrocitus. "I have a feeling you'll do something stupid if you stay here."

"----Hmph." Atrocitus snorted coldly, but did not refute. "I'm leaving. I will return to help you when the Blackest Night comes."

After saying this, Atrocitus transformed into a streak of red light and shot straight into the sky.

In sector 495, there is a cult that gouges out the eyes of Adolescence girls. The girls' helpless and Wrath cries are seen as a sign of evil.

The black-robed cultists were burned to ashes by the blood spewed by Atrocitus. Afterward, Atrocitus destroyed the Temple of the Lost, where the girls were enslaved and forced to work in the temple.

Sector 112.

"What are you doing?" In space, Atrocitus was stopped by a woman in a black robe.

"Execute the mission," Atrocitus said coldly.

What mission?

"To uphold cruel justice for those who have been violated and wronged."

"Interesting. Who decides who gets punished?"

"Us."

"Are you telling me that you are both judges and executioners?"

"If you keep bothering me with this nonsense—I'll rip your head off." Atrocitus wasn't going to be bothered by moral dilemmas.

"Excellent, I've decided to join you— the Red Lantern." The woman in black revealed her face, surprising Atrocitus. "You're— the Green Lantern?"

"It used to be."

"May I have your name?"

"Laira, Laira Omoto," Laira said.

Laira Omoto is from Sector 112 and is the daughter of Kental Omoto, the Green Lantern in charge of that sector. After Kental Omoto went missing, her father's friend, Khan, the Green Lantern from Sector 786, took Laira to Oa for training, turning her into a Green Lantern.

Later, Laira discovered that her father was the only traitor in the Legion after Sinestro.

He committed suicide when Laira tried to arrest him, which made Laira very resentful of the Guardians.

Driven by rage, Laira began using deadly force to kill Yellow Lantern members, resulting in her expulsion from the Green Lantern Corps by the Guardians.

"So it was you." Atrocitus nodded. "Welcome to the Red Lantern Corps."
