I became light in American comics

Saint Walker was the leader of the Blue Lanterns in the original timeline, a saintly figure who never gave up hope. All members of the Seven Lanterns Legion, whether good or evil, even some of the most extreme individuals, were captivated by his noble character.

"Not yet, he is a distinguished guest," Ganser introduced.

Shen You had now reverted to his human form and had met the Holy Walker. The Holy Walker also bowed to him in a friendly manner: "A master's guest is an Odim's guest. Please come in."

It can be seen that the current number of candidates for Blue Lantern is not large, basically only a few prominent figures from the original work. The setting states that the Light of Hope is the most demanding type of the emotional spectrum, so even at its peak, its members were very few.

Shen You met with these people, and they were indeed all pure and kind. Without even needing the Blue Light Ring test, Shen You could sense from his own experience that each of them possessed a seed of "light" that the Ultra race called "light."

He then realized that it wasn't just the Blue Lantern Light itself that was compatible with him, but the Blue Lantern Legion as well.

The Blue Lantern Ring's power can soothe the intense emotional turmoil of any chosen intelligent target, create tangible objects to comfort their soul, and ignite hope in the hearts of the despairing. This is precisely the purpose behind the founding of the Blue Lantern Legion; every member of the Legion takes it upon themselves to save and spread hope throughout the universe.

So from a certain perspective, this entire legion is practically a walking solar power generator for Ultraman.

If he were to become the leader of their lantern troupe, it might not be such a bad thing.

He had initially thought that Ganther might not easily reveal the technical principles behind the creation of the Blue Lantern Ring and the utilization of emotional energy, but it seemed he had been overthinking it. Ganther didn't mind him looking up the research materials and even shared with him the obstacles currently encountered in the development of the Blue Lantern Ring.

“Our design concept is basically derived from the development of the Green Lantern weapon,” Ganser explained to him. “We have a lot of experience in developing Green Lantern rings. But when it is transplanted to Blue Lantern, many aspects are not so applicable.”

Because hope is different from willpower. It is powerful and precious, yet it can be easily extinguished. Many people have had a spark of hope flicker in their hearts, but it often fades away in an instant.

The blue light rings we're currently creating all meet extremely demanding requirements.

"They refuse to choose the suitable ones?" Shen You asked while rapidly processing massive amounts of research information with his super brain.

"That's only one aspect. Another aspect is that it can easily abandon its holder. The holder needs unwavering faith and the tenacity to never give up hope for the Blue Lantern Ring to continue shining."

If hope is lost for even a moment, the ring will dim, or even abandon the wearer.

Shen You remained silent. In his memory, this had always been a major problem for the Blue Lantern Corps in the original work, and it was never resolved even in the later stages. Perhaps this was due to the characteristics of this type of light, making it difficult to overcome with technological means.

“Ganser”.

The sound came from above. Ganser looked up in the direction of the sound and saw another guardian little blue person flying down from mid-air. From the voice, it was clear that it was female.

“Said”.

Upon seeing his lover, Ganser immediately took flight and joyfully went to greet him. The two little blue men held hands, and a sour, pungent smell filled the air.

“I’ve been looking for you,” Said asked. “Where have you been?”

“There were some unpleasant encounters. I’ll tell you about them later. The important thing is that I’m back now, and maybe this is a blessing in disguise.” Ganther smiled. “I think I may have met the key person to solve the Blue Lantern problem that has been troubling us.”

"And who is this?" Said followed his gaze to Shen You.

"Shen You, from Earth." Shen You waved to the female guardian.

As a former guardian of the universe, Seid could tell at a glance that he wasn't a true Earthling. But since he said so, Seid just smiled slightly, nodded as a greeting, and didn't ask any further questions.

“Speaking of the lamp rings, the prototype of our latest model has just been completed,” she said to Ganther. “The prospective members have also made progress in their training under the guidance of the Holy Walkers. We have arranged a test for them today.”

"That's perfect."

Ganse turned to Shen You.

"Perhaps you would like to come and see for yourself how the ring works and the situation of our members."

"Of course," Shen You nodded in agreement.

The members were quickly gathered together, and a batch of brand-new, beautiful, deep blue light rings were placed in a blue lantern-shaped container.

During the meeting, Ganse also briefly introduced their testing process to Shen You.

Regular tests are conducted periodically, and each test consists of three parts. The first part is the most basic, requiring members to make the light rings respond.

They need to summon the rings remotely to their hands, simulating a process similar to the Green Lantern Legion where the rings select suitable candidates for the legion.

To achieve this, one needs immense hope.

The few candidates present were all future Blue Lantern Elders, rare individuals chosen by Ganther and Seid from among countless civilizations across multiple sectors, all possessing a glimmer of hope. Even so, to date, only the Holy Walker has successfully summoned the Blue Lantern Ring.

"Remember to have hope."

After making the arrangements, Guardian Seid took to the air and flew away from the field, addressing the members below.

"Like Ganther and I often tell you."

Several members nodded devoutly, closed their eyes, and chanted in unison as if reciting scriptures.

"everything will get better."

They closed their eyes, recalled their daily practice, felt hope, and tried to establish a connection with the lamp ring.

Meanwhile, Said flew up to a high place and landed between Ganse and Shen You.

The examiners continue to wait for the candidates to answer. The visual interface in front of them displays the index of each member's desired emotional state.

At this moment, the values ​​of those people were rising at a visible rate.

"It's indeed higher than the last test." Ganser nodded slightly.

“The Holy Walkers are still far ahead,” said Said, looking at the particularly outstanding data.

Ganser said, "That's why we've always had high hopes for him. Statistically, we should have a better chance this time than ever before."

"The light ring is responding!" Said reminded him.

Sure enough, the blue ring started to move!

They flew out of the lantern, tracing beautiful blue trails, one after another.

The five lantern rings made in this batch of trials flew out of the lanterns as if they were in a neat row!

"It's a success!" Ganser exclaimed with delight.

The closest they came to success was only when one ring responded, flying into the Holy Walker's hand, and the connection was broken after only a moment.

This time, all five rings actually reacted!

The members of the training group were all filled with indescribable joy, as if all their training had finally gained meaning.

Everyone raised their hands, ready to receive the ring flying towards them, as if preparing to say "I do".

But the next moment.

The five rings flew only halfway in their direction.

They all made a turn.

It made an obtuse angle turn, drawing five huge arcs, and flew upwards.

"Shen You, from Earth, possess the ability to give others unwavering hope."

Shen You from Earth

“From.”

“From.”

“From.”

The five blue light rings, like satellites around the globe, all began to revolve around Shen You, who was somewhat bewildered by this abrupt unfolding.

"Welcome to the Blue Lantern Legion!" x5

Five Blue Lantern Reserves with their hands raised, two Guardians with strange expressions—everyone froze at that moment, the scene seemingly still.

Even Shen You was stunned.

Not

I'm the examiner, and the candidates are all downstairs.

What are you silly rings doing here?

It's past midnight, and I've written over 7500 words in one day.

Chapter 201 Attempting to Become a Battery

Why are all the light rings selecting the same person?

The unprecedented and entirely new development left everyone in the room stunned. The prospective members all turned their questioning gazes toward their Guardian Master, who...

The master's expression seemed to say, "What are you looking at me for? I don't know the answer to this question either."

“Perhaps the parameters of the light ring need to be adjusted.” Said pondered, “The green light ring will never select the same person as multiple rings at the same time.”

Ganser nodded in agreement: "The program still needs improvement."

It seems there's a problem with the candidate's application. Fixing bugs is always harder than writing code, and that's probably true even for the little blue man. Perhaps this explains why so many of the great guardians of the universe have bald patches.

Shen You casually picked up one of the light rings surrounding him. At that moment, he inexplicably felt that the other light rings around him seemed a bit dim, giving him a sense of being at a talent show.

He felt that it was mostly because his own light properties were similar to the blue light, which somehow attracted the ring.

The new recruits from the Blue Lanterns had already arrived. The Holy Walker looked at Shen You with delight: "You must possess a steadfast hope rarely seen in the universe; perhaps you are the one the Legion is waiting for!"

"I don't know, further research is needed to determine."

“But the ring did choose you, and that was also during the time in Bio.” Ganther stopped there.

He had felt something was off when he was with Bio. The experimental blue light power supply he was carrying had reacted to Shen You, but Shen You certainly shouldn't have had any similar lamp rings on him at that time.

Using the emotional spectrum requires tools. For example, the most common one is the light ring, or there are also spaceships, gloves, etc. Even someone with willpower that breaks the sky like Hal Jordan needs a light ring to control the green light.

But at that moment, Bio clearly felt that this creature of light seemed to have wielded the power of the light of hope with his bare hands, without using any lamp ring or any tools.

This was absolutely novel even for the Guardians' technology tree. Ganser was greatly surprised, but after all, he had been trapped deep underground and hadn't seen it directly from that distance, so he wasn't entirely sure what had happened on the surface. However, he instinctively realized that the person in front of him might be key to the construction of the Hope Lantern Clan.

"You said there are two more tests coming up?" Shen You asked Gan Se.

Ganse nodded: "The test is divided into three parts, which can test the quality of the members of the Lantern Group to the greatest extent."

"Then please include me in the next two segments as well," Shen You said decisively.

The brief burst of blue light power on Ultraman allowed him to absorb a massive amount of energy, leading Shen You to some speculations. Ultraman's body itself is an energy container, and his previous research on the machine hunters had given him some insight into how energy operates within the emotional spectrum weapons. He had used the methods he learned to convert the absorbed energy into the light of the Ultra race.

Normally, a creature needs to use a lamp ring to harness the light of emotion, and his own body serves as both a vessel and a weapon, achieving a similar effect to the lamp ring.

But that energy was quickly depleted during the battle with the Machine Hunter Commander. He needs to reconnect with a similar energy source to reabsorb and convert Blue Lantern's energy.

But he didn't want to stop there. He had an even bolder idea.

What if it can serve as more than just a lamp ring?
