I became light in American comics

In an instant, one feels refreshed and invigorated, and the burden in one's heart is swept away.

The next moment, the four "family members" surrounding him suddenly changed their expressions and began to convulse.

Before they even had a chance to scream, their bodies twisted and turned to ashes under that powerful light that seemed to come from nowhere.

Saint Walker: "?"

He stared in disbelief at the four wisps of black smoke dissipating in front of him, somewhat confused.

No, although he felt he could be considered hopeful.

But I haven't even put my full strength into it yet!

How come the dark representation is already lying down?

What he didn't know was that a similar situation was happening right in front of everyone at that very moment.

All the Blue Lantern trainees have only just come into contact with their respective dark manifestations; some are struggling, while others are focused on finding a breakthrough.

Suddenly, with a whoosh.

soon.

A burst of intense light swept across the area like a map-wide attack, causing all the dark images of everyone to recede.

The two former guardians, Ganther and Seid, exchanged glances again and fell silent.

Only they saw what happened.

Shen You unleashed a burst of hope, but its power and effect were so overwhelming that it extinguished the dark manifestations in the other examination rooms.

Ganser has been completely out of control.

Who in the family understands?

This student not only submitted their paper early, but also answered other students' questions before they could.

Is this guy here to cause trouble?

Chapter 3, why did you turn into a battery?

Shen You himself did not expect that the range and effect of the new move he learned would be even more powerful than he had imagined.

However, calling it a new trick isn't really that new. While calming emotions and conveying hope are Blue Lantern's signature skills, Shen You had already learned similar moves long ago. The function of the Blue Lantern Ring is actually somewhat similar to the purification technique of Master Cosmos in Ultraman; although the forms of action are different, they share certain commonalities.

He could accept that the embodiment of his own inner darkness was instantly defeated, but he certainly didn't expect to accidentally answer someone else's question as well.

The two guardians were also quite surprised, but they had no objections. This wasn't the first time the Lantern Clan's prospective members had undergone routine assessments, and the same thing would happen if the testing venue was vandalized this time. In contrast, it was Shen You's various unusual behaviors that concerned them more.

The third and final test is the essential soul of every Color Lantern Legion—the oath.

Just like the Green Lantern Corps' famous oath, "May the green lantern shine forever," all Green Lantern Corps have a similar one. Corps members are often required to recite the oath during meetings and team-building activities. It's also necessary to recite the oath to trigger the charging of the Lantern Ring. More importantly, reciting the oath can also facilitate a sudden power spike when a Lantern is in dire straits.

Shen You speculated that the oath likely served a similar psychological purpose, acting as a man-made switch in the mind. The oath deepened members' sense of collective honor towards their troupe and strengthened their corresponding emotional energy. For example, the most common example is the Green Lantern; reciting the oath provides them with a psychological boost to their courage and willpower, which explains their frequent bursts of spiritual power.

The final test requires each person to wear a light ring, face the central battery of the blue light, and recite an oath to resonate with the spectrum of hope.

The group followed the two guardians to the very center of the planet Odim.

A colossal blue lantern, as tall as a skyscraper, stands at the center of the planet, amidst the jungle. Blue flames roar within the lantern, and beams of light shoot straight up from directly above, tearing through the atmosphere and piercing into the depths of space.

It is like a beacon of hope, spreading its light throughout the universe.

Finally, he saw the legendary central battery. Shen You landed beside the battery and reached out to touch its ice-blue casing.

Surprisingly, for such an almost limitless energy source, it wasn't hot at all. The alloy outer shell of the lamp ring even had a slightly refreshing coolness to the touch.

Shen You tried to extend his consciousness, connect with the lantern, feel the inextinguishable flame of hope, trace its source, and its connection with the spectrum of emotions.

He had already scoured a vast amount of literature on the Emotional Spectrum technique at lightning speed and had consulted with Ganther extensively. Although he couldn't compare to authorities like the Guardians of the Lamp Ring, he was no longer completely clueless in this field and knew quite a bit.

The quantum brain was operating at full speed, like a supercomputer running at full power, rapidly analyzing the operation of the central battery.

Everyone was given a test blue light ring. Ganther stood on high, raising his hands: "Now, blue lights, illuminate your brilliance!"

The recruits looked solemn and devout, raising their fists and pointing the light rings on their hands toward the central battery.

They recited the oath in unison, as earnestly as a group of pilgrims.

“Fearful days, sorrowful nights, the raging fire recedes into the biting cold.”

All were lost in the ravages of war.

Look up at the stars, and the light of hope will never be extinguished!

As the oath was taken, the lamp rings seemed to flicker in everyone's hands, as if a blue spark had been ignited.

The recruit with the elephant-like face, Worth, beamed with joy: "We did it! We lit the ring!"

Before the words were even finished, everyone felt a surge of energy around them, like a raging storm spreading out, and blue beams of light shot into the sky from between them!

Everyone looked over there in astonishment.

Shen You's figure had somehow floated into the air, his entire body enveloped in endless blue light. The surging light erupted like a storm, releasing a beam of light that shot into the sky parallel to the central battery.

"This energy."

Said looked at Ganther in surprise again.

"Is this the kind of energy a lamp ring should have?"

"No"

Ganser was initially surprised as well—the sudden surge in energy readings did indeed exceed the output limit of a single lamp ring in their design. However, he soon realized that this wasn't their main concern.

“Have you noticed? He didn’t use the light ring at all,” Ganther said. “He didn’t connect to the central battery we made.”

Saide was taken aback.

She then noticed that it seemed to be true. Shen You hadn't connected to the central battery at all; the blue light was emanating from his own body.

“But how is that possible?” Said was stunned.

All the technology and equipment of each lantern group are built upon the central battery. Whether it's the lantern rings, the lanterns, or even other equipment such as spaceships and energy weapons, their energy all comes from the central battery.

Doesn't that mean...?

"He himself became a walking central battery?"

Even Saide himself thought it was nonsense to say that.

She couldn't help but look at Ganther strangely again: "We only know one person who can do this kind of thing."

Ganser seemed to understand what she meant, and his expression changed slightly, his body trembling almost imperceptibly.

Without the aid of tools, they draw upon and apply the energy of the emotional spectrum through their bodies; they only know that one person can do it.

A name taboo among the Guardians, it is linked to the darkest secret of the Lanterns' birth in ancient times.

Volthoom, the first Lantern Knight, is the origin of the entire universe's emotional spectrum technology. Even the Guardians' spectrum technology originated from him.

He was the only being who could manipulate the entire spectrum of emotions at will. But his power was beyond description; he could reshape reality and rewrite timelines at will, possessing infinite life and infinite power, transcending the constraints of time and reality, and was even more powerful than many legendary gods.

“You mean…” Ganser’s eyes flickered as he looked at Said.

The two guardians looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

Without needing to say more, they both understood each other's meaning.

If this being of light could one day master the entire spectrum of emotions, perhaps he would become like the first Genie?

They exchanged a glance, and then Saide shook his head.

No, that's too dangerous.

The emotional spectrum represents more than just power; the emotions it represents can also influence the light rider, including negative emotions such as anger, greed, and fear.

Simultaneously controlling the energy of all seven lamps is almost impossible. The original Lantern Knight did it, but eventually went mad and became an extremely terrifying thing.

Ganser exchanged a glance with her and nodded slightly in agreement.

It's too early to say anything now. The emotional spectrum is far too dangerous for any living being; we need to think about it more carefully.

However, Shen You feels that he has at least begun to understand the basics of Blue Lantern.

But the blue-light recruits next to him were dumbfounded.

No, we agreed to charge together, so why are you charging a battery instead?

The cars on the blue lights looked at each other, completely bewildered.

His expression seemed to be one of confusion.

Do we have to swear an oath to him again in the future?

Chapter 204 The Same as always

"Hey, is this thing on?"

A crystal-like projection appeared, beams of light constructing a physical image in front of Shen You. The exquisite face of the Kryptonian girl Kara Zoelna, reproduced under the 3D projection, was almost pressed against Shen You's face, forcing him to take two steps back.

"You're too far forward," Shen You reminded him. "Move back a bit."

"Oh, I see."

Kara took two steps back, and her short, stout figure, which had been distorted like a funhouse mirror image due to her close proximity to the data acquisition equipment, returned to its former shapely and curvaceous form.

“Say it again, where are you?” Kara asked.

“Interstellar sector one, planet Odim,” Shen You said.

Kara thought for a moment: "Then which sector is Earth in again?"

“Interstellar sector 2814,” Shen You said.

"So, it probably means the other side of the universe?"

"more or less."

“Hey~ I want to travel too.” Kara slumped back, pouting. “Back when I was still on Krypton, I always said I wanted to travel between stars, but I never had the chance.”

"I'm not here for fun," Shen You smiled. "I have some things to take care of. Is things alright back on Earth lately?"

He has been away from Earth for more than half a month now. During this time, he has basically stayed on the planet Odim, working day and night on his research, only occasionally wandering around nearby star systems when his research makes progress or when he has new ideas or abilities that he wants to test.
