Green Lantern Corps Attacks Apokolips
Upon learning that Bruce Yu was about to become one of the 3,600 Green Lantern cannon fodder, Fang Yu, who was around the world, couldn't hold back for a moment.
Stephen Fang: "These Guardians of the Universe who created the Green Lantern Corps are really crazy. They can't beat others but they still like to pick fights. That's Darkseid! All the DC superheroes combined might not be able to defeat this thing. What's the difference between them and a brat on a bus who kicks his older brother's hand and gets slammed and stomped on the head?!"
Uchiha Yu: "There's a huge difference! The casualties only occurred in the Green Lantern Corps; the Guardians of the Universe were fine."
Pirate World Fang Yu: "That's a bit too much. You can't beat them, so why provoke them? What were you thinking?"
Bruce Yu took a deep breath. "There is no shortage of people with willpower in the universe. There are seven billion people on Earth alone. Moreover, there are so many planets in the universe. The owners of the Green Lantern Ring are consumables. When one wave dies, another wave is replaced. The Guardians of the Universe will not have any emotional fluctuations."
He chuckled to himself, "When you have a dog to guard the house and it dies, you'll be sad. But if you have 3,600 dogs, you'll just feel indifferent."
All that could be heard in Fang Yu's mind was a silent dial tone; no one knew what to do now.
Stephen Fang broke the silence. "We can't, we can't just take off the Green Lantern Ring, can we? We've been waiting for half a month for nothing!"
"Yes, that makes sense." Uchiha Yu continued, "Let's take it one step at a time! After all, you have more than just the Green Lantern ability. If it doesn't work out, we can try Divine Protection Barrier, and Flying Thunder God Technique."
Bruce Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The Green Lantern has lost its courage. What might happen is not just the retrieval of the Lantern Ring, but also the possibility of being targeted by things like Fear and Inspector. I can only say that it's too hard to survive in the Damn DC."
Uchiha Yu sighed, "It's really tough. Each of us is having a harder time than the last."
The domed hall on Oa has never been so crowded.
Central Council Chamber, 3,600 Green Lantern gathered.
Ganthet stood in front of the holographic star map and showed everyone a real-time image of Apokolips.
In the scene, Darkseid's Parademons army is throwing hundreds of living planets into a dark red furnace, at the core of which floats a pulsating black embryo with strange Omega Symbol appearing on its surface.
"This is the Cosmic Infant Embryo." Ganthet's voice echoed in the silent hall. "Darkseid is attempting to awaken it, at which point it will devour the entire Emotional Spectrum and reshape the multiverse."
Legendary Green Lantern Hal Jordan strode to the star map, where his Green Lantern Ring projected a 3D model of Apokolips: "We'll split into three groups—the main assault force will launch a frontal assault on the outer defenses of the Furnace, the raiding party will go deep underground to destroy the embryo, and the logistics force will be responsible for establishing an evacuation route."
Kilowog slammed his fist on the armrest of his chair and roared, "Two thousand men going to their deaths head-on? Those anti-aircraft guns could blast ten legions apart!"
"So we need Boom Tube Bomb." Hal pulled up the weapon data. "The Engineers on Oa have modified the willpower resonator. We can tear open a temporary wormhole over the Oaks City, but it will take sixty minutes to charge. During this time, the vanguard will have to withstand ninety percent of Darkseid's firepower. If we're lucky, we can take him down!"
New recruit Achillo raised his trembling hand. "Why not use other legions for support?"
Ganthet slammed his scepter down heavily. "To avoid panic! If the news leaks out, the entire universe will descend into chaos."
"Chaos has begun." Hal shut down the communication and turned to face the crowd. "I will lead the main assault force, John Stewart will lead the raiding party, and Kilowog will handle logistics! Begin equipment checks now, we'll depart in two hours!"
A beam of light parted the crowd, and according to Hal Jordan's design, Bruce Yu was assigned to the frontal assault team.
He pointed to his nose with his finger, his expression suggesting something.
"Huh? Me? You want me to kill Darkseid?"
The Sky Manipulation above Apokolips was dyed a blood-red color like lava. The moment three thousand six hundred green beams pierced the atmosphere, the plasma beams spewing from the anti-aircraft gun turrets tore apart the twelve Green Lantern warships in the front row.
Hal Jordan's cape fluttered in the turbulent energy as he raised the Green Lantern Ring, and two thousand members of the main assault force unfurled an emerald-green arc of shields behind him.
"Recharge countdown: 60 minutes!" Kilowog's roar blared through the communication channel, and the orc general's projection flickered on Hal's ring. "Vanguard, hold on!"
Bruce Yu mingled in the crowd, thinking to himself, "Bump? With my head! What's the difference between that and sending out a soldier to block a tank with his own body!"
In the initial clash, dozens of Green Lantern were snatched away by Parademons, and the still-developing shield was breached.
Hal gritted his teeth so hard they almost broke. He could clearly see every second ticking away as the Parademons swarmed toward the shield like locusts, their claws scraping against the energy barrier with piercing screams.
The wreckage of a warship grazed Hal's head, with half of Green Lantern's body still lodged inside, the ring stubbornly shining on his ring finger.
Upon seeing this, Hal shouted, "Second echelon, dive!"
Hal's Green Lantern Ring burst forth with a blinding light, and a kilometer-long lightsaber slashed down towards the ground!
Three hundred Green Lantern followed closely behind, materializing their energy into drills, hammers, and chainsaws, tearing a rift through the Parademons horde!
Parademons ' limbs, mixed with metal fragments, fell like rain. Hal's boots had barely touched the scorched earth when the recoil sent numbness through his knees.
He looked up at the Boom Tube Bomb floating above the furnace.
Charging progress
Twenty-three percent.
However, if everything goes according to plan, the Green Lantern Corps might actually be able to steal a chicken while Darkseid is busy with other things.
Unfortunately, things are unlikely to go so smoothly.
The new recruit Achillo's breathing mask was covered in blood.
His Green Lantern Ring was trembling!
It wasn't out of fear, but because Sinestro's Yellow Lantern Energy was surging within the ring.
When the Boom Tube Bomb reached 37% charge, he shut down the shield module he was in charge of!
The wreckage of the twelve warships exploded with a deafening roar, Parademons that poured in through the breach instantly overwhelmed the three hundred Green Lantern.
When Hal turned around, he saw Achillo remove his helmet, revealing a face covered in runes of fear.
"Lord Sinestro sends his greetings!" Achillo grinned as he crushed the fake Green Lantern Ring, and yellow light burst from between his fingers, forming a chainsaw that sliced his two comrades in half at the waist.
"Traitor!" Hal's beam grazed Achillo's ear, but the Yellow Lantern Barrier had already formed around him.
"Too late!" Achillo's body suddenly swelled, and the Yellow Lantern Energy exploded like Supernova. "For Sinestro!"
"Boom—"
The self-destruct Havok shattered the outer shell of the Boom Tube Bomb, causing the charging progress to plummet to nine percent!
Hal was thrown a hundred meters by the blast wave, and a crisp sound of bones shattering came from his left arm!
The legendary Green Lantern Hal scrambled to his feet, his brow furrowed as he watched his companions fall dead or wounded amidst the swarm of Parademons. Even so, he didn't abandon his belief, shouting to the Sky Manipulation, "We need a squad to fill this gap! Quickly!"
But his request was instantly swallowed up by a barrage of attacks from the Parademons, and no one had time to help him.
At this critical juncture, a very reluctant voice rang out.
"Then I'll do my part before the formidable enemy arrives."
"Celestial Art: Deep Forest Emergence!"
