Chapter 373 / Chapter 374
Su Chen 'Su Chen arrival and departure took only a few minutes, and this time, a large number of shooting stars appeared behind Su Chen as well.
The Orange Lantern Legion members will also travel to planets near Earth to assemble, just like the Red Lantern Corps members did before, and join forces with the previous Red Lantern Corps members to form the second part of the Fourth Legion.
This was probably the most Legion of the seven Legion when they disbanded...
"The Ring of Greed is rather interesting..."
Su Chen played with the newly arrived Supreme Ring, a smile unconsciously appearing on his face.
All the rings can grant the user the ability to fly in space, and at the same time allow them to use the power of their Emotional Spectrum as a weapon of light.
However, there are many differences between them in the details. For example, anger often brings the most direct power Amplifier, while the effect of the Orange Lantern Ring of Greed is more mysterious.
"Although they are few in number, their combat units are truly unimaginable."
Feeling the subtle restlessness emanating from the ring on his hand, Su Chen smiled once again.
Greed is indeed an original sin...
The ring's holders are indeed very few, but each ring holder can materialize the people they have killed, turning them into their energy puppets, also known as Orange Lantern Phantom.
The exact number of puppets that can be displayed depends on the user's abilities...
This means that the ring distributor has taken over someone else's identity.
Su Chen had previously used the energy of the Green Lantern to conjure up a former enemy Legion. Although similar, the energy consumed was completely disproportionate.
That time, almost all the energy within the ring was drained. Su Chen vaguely sensed that, with the Amplifier provided by this Supreme Ring, it would be incredibly easy to bring back his former enemies...
"Furthermore, judging from this ring, it seems that members of this Legion can use the energy of other Legion, even if it's just theft. But it seems they had some ulterior motives beforehand..."
Then Su Chen looked at the ring, at a small, hidden function deep inside, and couldn't help but show a peculiar expression.
The Orange Lantern Ring can absorb energy from other rings...
It's hard to say whether they ever had different ideas.
If the arrival wasn't due to Su Chen, but rather to a single holder of another Supreme Ring, the process probably wouldn't have been as smooth as Su Chen's.
After all, defeating a single Legion is not the same as defeating seven Legion at once.
The rewards from this ring far outweigh those from the previous Ring of Rage.
With this satisfied feeling, Su Chen continued his journey towards the next Legion's assembly point!
The next planet, the one burning with raging yellow flames, didn't even need Su Chen to say much; it surrendered like a greedy planet.
Within the Fear Legion, the hierarchy is even more pronounced than in other Legion; its former leader, Thaal Sinestro, employed absolute militaristic management.
This ensured that the entire Legion operated in the most efficient manner, but it was precisely for this reason that Sinestro's death plunged the entire Legion into a state of confusion.
Su Chen's takeover became exceptionally easy, and the Lantern Entity, representing fear—a gigantic insect-like creature—pleasingly produced its third Supreme Ring after hearing the command to spread fear throughout the universe.
"Intelligent life has been locked. Su Chen of Earth, you possess the ability to inflict immense fear upon others. The Fear Legion belongs to you!"
The Emotional Spectrum represents the seven fundamental forces of the universe. At this point, three of them have officially been attributed to Su Chen.
The third wave of the superheroes also set off again from this assembly point, continuing their journey to the planet near Earth, where they would officially announce their disbandment and become the third part of the Fourth Legion.
This time, Su Chen didn't rush to leave. Instead, he stood there and swayed his body.
"Next, I'll be visiting an old friend."
The image of the green Ion Shark that had first expressed its stance to him resurfaced in Su Chen's mind, and he couldn't help but smile for the third time.
It was precisely because of the first Supreme Ring given by the Ion Shark that Su Chen discovered some other meanings contained within the ring, which was also its ultimate meaning.
Although it didn't have a significant effect, it at least had a small impact, and Su Chen kept that in mind.
Meanwhile, the Green Lantern Corps' assembly point, being the largest and most well-organized of Green Lantern Corps members, was also anxiously awaiting Su Chen's arrival.
However, unlike the other Lantern Entity, the Ion Shark's figure was already faintly visible within this green light source, and it did not reveal itself only after Su Chen's arrival, unlike the other Lantern Entity.
Compared to the other Lantern Entity Ion Shark, it seemed to have become somewhat impatient.
During this long wait, they finally saw the shooting star they had been hoping for.
"He's here at the farm!"
Within the green energy, the faint silhouette of an Ion Shark (Manoho) made a sound.
Su Chen transformed into a streak of light, passing over all the Legion members and arriving directly at this massive energy convergence point.
Upon Su Chen's arrival, the Ion Shark, which had been swimming freely in the ocean, broke free from the energy source and revealed its true form, circling in front of Su Chen.
"You've finally arrived!"
The Ion Shark appeared before Su Chen, and its tone seemed to become even more satisfied after seeing the other three Supreme Rings on Su Chen's hand.
As for Su Chen, seeing the Ion Shark's gaze wandering over the three rings, he also made no attempt to conceal it by extending his hand and shaking it.
"Now it's time to do what we agreed on."
Su Chen showed the three rings to the Ion Shark and said with a smile...
Chapter 373
Despite the pleasant conversation between Su Chen and the Lantern Entity, the members of the Green Lantern Corps still felt noticeably uncomfortable.
After all, compared to the other Legion, although Su Chen did exactly the same thing—killing the leaders of each Legion — the Green Lantern Corps also had a very good Lantern Knight who had fallen to Su Chen before.
Before that, my relationship with Su Chen was all bad.
Now, facing this entity with whom they once had the worst relationship, it's impossible for the Green Lantern Corps not to harbor resentment.
After completing the handover with the Ion Shark, Su Chen's smile began to fade slightly as he watched the Green Lantern Corps members gradually closing in behind him.
"As the strongest Legion protecting the entire universe, you are, in a sense, superior to the other six Legion, and you are the Legion that most dutifully chose to guard this mission."
Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back, the smile on his face finally disappearing completely, replaced by a serious expression.
"But if I was your leader back then, everything you did was utterly disappointing. You were simply incompetent and useless!"
Then Su Chen shook his head and spoke softly in a tone of disappointment.
Although all the members of the Green Lantern Corps remained expressionless, Su Chen could already feel that the Supreme Ring, which represented anger, was slightly warm.
It's not only members of the Red Lantern Corps who possess the power of anger.
Some members, though still expressionless, had burning anger in their eyes, and the green light emanating from their bodies began to accelerate.
"Perhaps you know that after your defeat, several other Legion also found me and experienced similar failures, but do you know what happened after that?"
Su Chen looked around and continued to ask questions with that same indifferent gaze and tone.
"I encountered the 8th Legion, a Legion that should never have existed in this world."
Silence.
After Su Chen uttered those words, the previously somewhat agitated state of the entire Legion instantly subsided, replaced by a deathly silence.
"By the way, the color flashing on that Legion is different from yours; it's a pure, murky black."
Su Chen held up one finger and continued speaking calmly.
There was still a deathly silence.
"How is this possible?"
After an unknown amount of time, a question suddenly broke the deathly silence.
No one is unaware of what the 8th Legion means, and just as no one is unaware of what this black Legion means.
In the past battles against the Legion of Death, the Nekron inflicted too much pain on them.
Even though they ultimately won, the process was still incredibly brutal.
"And the leader of that Legion also died at my hands. Before he died, I seemed to vaguely remember his name... What was his name again? Oh right, it was the Nekron."
Halfway through his sentence, Su Chen hesitated for a moment, then searched for a while before finally uttering the name.
After all, it wasn't an easy task for Su Chen to remember the names of his enemies.
There were far too many names of enemies, and the names of the fallen enemies were equally outrageously numerous...
Su Chen had no intention of wasting his energy on the tedious task of memorizing enemy names.
"This is impossible! The Nekron is dead! We destroyed him with our own hands!"
At this point, however, the voices of opposition and doubt seemed to have become even stronger.
But then a black streak of light landed right in front of the person who had shouted.
With a soft "ding," the person subconsciously looked down, and then their expression changed drastically.
"Oh, this..."
It was a somewhat worn and flimsy ring, its surface dull and lackluster due to the wear and tear.
Although the color on it had completely disappeared, a putrid smell could still be detected, the smell of death.
And that familiar symbol above is something every single person and every member of every Legion knows intimately.
The symbol of the Black Lantern Corps!
"It's incredible, isn't it? The legion you defeated, the Legion you killed with your own hands, has reappeared in this universe."
Su Chen continued speaking slowly.
"Unfortunately, I also know another piece of information: this guy didn't die at all; he was sealed away. Now, he's been released by those who sealed him away. As far as I know, this group is called the Guardians."
Su Chen was very pleased to see the Green Lantern Corps below fall into a deathly silence once again.
The dramatic ups and downs were so intense that their hearts couldn't take it.
"You call yourselves Legion of courage and hope, but where exactly does your hope lie?"
Su Chen shook his head with some regret.
"And your courage seems to have been misplaced as well, given to those who shouldn't have it in the first place. And your greatest strength is not courage and hope, but the power to create the world together with other emotions."
Su Chen's tone gradually became heavy.
"It's time to correct these misconceptions of yours!"
Su Chen spoke clearly, each word distinct and deliberate.
"I will disband you and merge you with other Legion to unleash your greatest power."
As Su Chen spoke behind him, the green light of hope seemed to shine even brighter, as if to verify what Su Chen had said.
"I will let the entire universe witness the emotion of our courage, the Spectrum of existence, and let them prove the might of a force. What you have done before seems utterly ridiculous to me."
As Su Chen, he looked behind him as expected, and a green light slowly drifted in, placing a familiar-looking ring into his hand.
"Take good care of it; my Supreme Ring isn't something that can be mass-produced."
The voice of the Ion Shark rang out from behind Su Chen.
"Intelligent life has been locked on. Su Chen of Earth, you possess the powerful will to overcome fear. The Green Lantern Corps belongs to you!"
A familiar voice, mixed with familiar content, echoed throughout the entire Legion!
Chapter 374
"Did the Guardians really do these things?"
"That's impossible."
"But how do you explain the ring?"
Even during the flight, members of the Green Lantern Corps continued to whisper among themselves.
With the emergence of the Fourth Ancient Language, the Green Lantern Corps, the most powerful and longest- Legion, was finally disbanded.
Now they have become the fourth wave of meteors, heading towards planets near Earth to gather.
During the flight, Green Lantern members still raised this question in disbelief.
They found it hard to believe that the supreme being in their hearts, the Guardians, could engage in such despicable behavior.
