Chapter 602 Breaking the Special Status Quo (Please subscribe and read on, and recommend with monthly tickets!)
Martin flashed, using the green light energy to transport his fighter jet through space and reappear outside.

The enclosure of the space had no effect on the outside world. To onlookers, all they saw was a huge green sphere of light that was shrinking, and the machine hunters who had caused the disaster were disappearing into the sphere.

"Is this the end?"

Hal stared at the shrunken ball of light, feeling like his brain had short-circuited.

"Why can you always take down enemies so easily, while I put in so much effort but barely do any damage? I feel like an idiot."

Without comparison, there is no gap.

The warship that Hal materialized was indeed awe-inspiring.

But compared to Martin's effortless destruction of the robot hunter's warship, his previous efforts seemed childish, like a child fantasizing in front of an adult.

"Study more, read more books. Over time, as you gain experience, you will be able to achieve the same level."

Martin didn't explain anything either.

Fighting is nothing more than accumulating experience, or being able to overwhelm your opponent with sheer strength.

Violence is always preceded by complex calculations, but once it begins, the rest becomes simple: it's just a matter of life and death.

"Don't overthink it."

Martin gently patted Hal on the shoulder. "We still have a lot to do. First, we need to reorganize the Interstellar Court and unite the military forces of several star systems. Second, you need to bring the Green Lantern Corps under control and ensure they can act in unison."

According to Hal, each Green Lantern under the Green Lantern Corps enjoys extremely high prestige in their respective star systems.

If you want to assemble an army, the best way is through the Green Lantern Corps.

But Martin couldn't do anything about the Green Lantern Corps' stubborn minds, and he worried that there would be endless wrangling over various issues.

In comparison, it would be better to gather the armies of the universe through the Interstellar Court.

At least the Interstellar Court is somewhat like a government, with a complete order that can unify and organize military forces.

The Green Lantern Corps members are the most individually capable, but they rely entirely on personal friendship and prestige to elect leaders, making the process too unpredictable.

"Well, I've spoken a lot with the Triune Judges of the Interstellar Court lately. They're also filled with fear of Apokolips, afraid that some new entity that acts without restraint might harm them."

Hal immediately got back to work: "You impressed them by killing Steppenwolf last time, and you turned the tide and stopped the machine hunters' rebellion this time. It won't be difficult to persuade them to cooperate with Earth."

"But I don't know how to unite the Green Lantern Corps. The Guardians are too stubborn, and it's impossible to elect a leader when none of us are willing to submit to each other."

Martin thought for a moment and took the initiative to answer the question, "Ion Shark's actions were ineffective, so do the Lanterns not acknowledge his existence?"

Hal shook his head: "The Lanterns do have great respect for the Ion Shark, after all, without the Lantern, there would be no Green Lantern Corps. But they also think that the Lantern has been staying in the central power cell for too long and doesn't know anything about what's happening outside."

Therefore, when the Legion is engaged in activities outside, we should rely on the Guardians and Lanterns; the Lantern Beasts shouldn't offer too many opinions.

Martin chuckled. "Such double standards. It seems the Green Lanterns want to have the best of both worlds."

Hal was extremely embarrassed and dissatisfied with the behavior of his colleagues.

Ion Shark may be a bit naive, but that's no reason for the Green Lantern Corps to ignore him.

He knew very well that Ion Shark was closer to Martin than the Green Lantern Corps.

The Guardians used the Ion Shark as a tool, and the Lanterns had no idea that the Lantern Beasts even existed.

Only Martin not only knew the origin of the Lamplighter, but also treated it as a friend.

If it were Hal, he would be even closer to Martin.

"Are these Lanterns out of their minds? People with wills sound special, but the standard was set by the Guardians, not by the Ion Shark."

Martin frowned. "If a conflict really breaks out between the two sides, Ion Shark can simply move to another place to sleep, and the green light of will will choose someone else. But without Ion Shark, can these Lanterns still act so arrogantly?"

"Uh! You're not really going to break off all relations, are you?"

Hal had no doubt about Martin's determination.

Martin shook his head. "Tearing off the mask now will only please Darkseid. Those Lanterns may be a bit stubborn, but they are indeed experienced, and it's not like I can't handle them."

"any solution?"

Hal was a little confused. He racked his brains but still couldn't figure out how to get the Green Lanterns to abandon the principles they cherished.

Martin smiled slightly, "You can't think of a solution because you're caught up in the situation and blinded by the Green Lantern Corps' reputation. But for me, the way to suppress these people's arrogance is very simple: just bring out another Green Lantern Corps."

"Whether it's the Green Lantern or the Blue Lantern, as long as a second organization that uses emotional power appears, the Green Lanterns will no longer be able to maintain this self-centered mentality."

Hal was taken aback: "This method does work. But suddenly pulling out two groups of lights, I'm worried that the Green Lanterns won't be able to handle such an impact and will treat the Blue Lanterns and Blue Lanterns as heretics and suppress them."

Martin turned his head, his eyes fixed on Hal: "I think it's not that the other members of the Green Lantern Corps find it hard to accept, but that you don't want to break the authority of the Green Lantern Corps."

Hal quickly waved his hand: "As long as it can strike back against Apokolips's invasion and maintain peace in the universe, I have nothing I can't accept."

Martin's scrutinizing gaze remained fixed on him. "Once you make a decision and take a firm stance, the Green Lantern Corps will be unable to reach a consensus. Plus, with Ion Shark backing you up, what do you have to worry about?"

Martin explained it so clearly that Hal instinctively wanted to refute it, but after a moment's thought, he couldn't put it into words.

"Okay, I really can't accept that you would undermine the sanctity of the Green Lantern Corps in this way."

"I understand your thinking."

Martin nodded in satisfaction: "I brought out the Blue Lantern and Green Lantern legions not to completely crush the Green Lantern legion. The contributions the Lanterns have made to the universe will not be erased for such a simple reason."

"Okay, compared to the Green Lantern Corps, stopping Apokolips from expanding its influence is the most important thing."

Hal ultimately suppressed his conflicted thoughts and firmly stood by Martin's side.

Martin placed his hand on Hal's shoulder. "You don't need to get involved in the Blue Lantern and Blue Lantern Legion's affairs. I'm authorizing the Justice League to discuss cooperation with the adjudicators of the Intergalactic Court."

The Green Lantern Corps' reaction to the sudden appearance of the Blue Lantern and Green Lantern Legions was undoubtedly intense.

Hal wants to control this situation and cannot make any connection with it.

If someone finds a handle against you, you could easily be branded a traitor, causing the situation to spiral out of control.

Hal didn't ask Martin what he was going to do; he was no match for Martin in such matters, and there was no need for him to worry about it.

He cleaned up the remnants of the machine hunters and flew directly to the Interstellar Court. Facing the Triune Arbitrators, he stated, "Gentlemen, I represent the Justice League to discuss cooperation with you."

……

Martin, piloting his X-wing fighter, located Ganther at the edge of the battlefield, where Ganther was sitting in a cruiser.
For this mission to support the Interplanetary Tribunal, the Green Lantern Corps dispatched ten Green Lanterns and two Guardians.

Even so, faced with the overwhelming number of robot hunters, the Green Lanterns were still unable to control the situation. Despite their best efforts, they could only watch the battlefield deteriorate little by little.

The robot hunters' research on the Legion of Winter was so thorough that even though they couldn't do anything about the Green Lantern energy, they effectively curbed the Green Lanterns' actions.

It wasn't until Martin emerged out of nowhere and suddenly won a victory on the most intense battlefield that the Lanterns saw a glimmer of hope for victory.

Hal immediately realized that this was Martin's doing, and rushed out to support the enemy without hesitation, ultimately achieving victory.

But the other Green Lanterns have a more complicated attitude towards Martin.

Martin forcibly inserted an unfamiliar experience into their lives, something no normal person could tolerate.

But when Martin was the Green Lantern, he did better than anyone else, and even became friends with Ion Shark.

Due to a combination of factors, the Green Lanterns both admired and feared Martin.

"Hey everyone!"

Martin parked the X-wing fighter in the cruiser's hangar, opened the hatch, jumped onto the deck, greeted the Green Lanterns who surrounded him, and called out their names accurately.

"I'm looking for Ganser. Could someone please give me directions?"

The Green Lanterns looked at each other, none of them willing to step forward and confront Martin.

Martin laughed and said, "Come on, we've been friends for a day, surely you're not unwilling to do something as simple as leading the way?"

"Let the pilot robot take you there!"

Although Green Lanterns can be arrogant, they never do anything against their conscience.

They were unwilling to confront Martin, nor did they try to hide anything; they simply brought out the guide robot.

"Since you insist on this, then there's nothing I can do."

Martin helplessly spread his hands and walked around Green Lantern.

He followed the robot through the elevator to the bridge, where he met Ganser.

"Mr. Martin, it's been a long time."

Ganser immediately displayed his enthusiasm.

Martin looked at the smile on the little blue-skinned old man's face and said, "Ganther, your smile is much more natural now than before."

Ganther flashed two rows of bright white teeth. "I have to thank you for all of this. You brought about change for the Green Lantern Corps, and I realized that the Guardians' practice of abandoning their emotions was completely wrong."

After expressing his feelings, he pointed to the guardian behind him and said, "This is my friend, Said. She is trustworthy. We can talk freely here without worrying about being overheard."

Martin looked at the guardian behind Ganther, whose female characteristics were very obvious.

The Guardians' decision to abandon their own emotions led to the exodus of women from this race.

Moreover, the women who left swore an oath to be irreconcilable with the guardians and to prove that their decision was wrong.

After a long search, they discovered the plundering beasts that symbolized love and created the Starsapphire Legion.

However, members of the Starsapphire Legion often do unexpected things because of their excessive pursuit of love, and they limit their love to the individual.

Due to a combination of factors, the Starsapphire Legion was not well-known in the universe and did not attract the attention of the Green Lantern Legion.

However, female guardians remain a forgotten taboo on Oa.

Martin, certain that Ganther's friend was trustworthy, said directly, "Darkseid has personally led his army toward Earth, and I've come here to seek the support of the Green Lantern Corps. But Hal's report makes me distrustful of the Green Lantern Corps; they have no idea how terrifying Darkseid is."

Ganther's mouth dropped open. "So suddenly? Darkseid's already making his move?"

Martin gave him no chance to react. "This is not surprising at all; it's just that the Green Lantern Corps is too slow to react. The last time Steppenwolves attacked the Interplanetary Court, it was Darkseid's move to attack Earth and eliminate the Green Lantern Corps threat."

"If it weren't for my help, the Green Lantern Corps would be fighting a capital defense war on Oa right now. They are completely unaware of the threats in the universe and are still indulging in their past glories."

Ganther, of course, knew the Green Lantern Corps' strengths and weaknesses better than Hal. "So, Mr. Martin, what exactly do you want from this trip? It's not just about criticizing the Green Lantern Corps, is it?"

Ganser truly lives up to his reputation as one of the more intelligent guardians.

Seeing that the time was right, Martin stated his plan directly: "I hope to cooperate with the Green Lantern Corps to resist the invasion of Apokolips, but the Green Lanterns do not take Darkseid's threat seriously."

"What I ask for is very simple: that we take Darkseid's aggression seriously right now."

Ganther remained silent.

Martin's request was very simple, but it was something the Green Lantern Corps couldn't do.

Some things are fine if you don't weigh them, but once you do, even a thousand pounds can't hold them.

The Guardians have done many things that no human should do, among which the most inhuman is that they allowed the first Green Lanterns to attack Apokolips, and then one of them turned his back on them afterwards.

If this matter were to be brought to light, the very foundation upon which the Green Lantern Corps exists would be destroyed.

If anyone else had stood in front of Ganther today and made this request, he wouldn't have thought much of it.

But faced with the enigmatic Martin, Ganser couldn't help but suspect that the other knew about this past event, and that the other had a pretty good relationship with the Ion Shark.

This made Ganse completely afraid to break ties with Martin.

All he could say was, "It's hopeless to change the arrogant atmosphere of the Green Lantern Corps, but this is not something that can be accomplished overnight."

"The Green Lanterns' self-centeredness is partly instilled by the Guardians through the Codex. Once the Blue Lantern and Green Lantern are brought out, the Green Lanterns' special status will be broken, and they will naturally not be like they are now."

Martin's words silenced Ganser.

"No wonder this Earthling encouraged me to go find the Blue Lantern Beast, so that's what he was planning."
