The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

"Soul, divine power, and magic?"

Li Zhen clenched her fists, her expression showing some surprise.

"I think I can feel something inside my body, but..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Zhen's expression suddenly turned solemn.

The itching sensation, which I thought had subsided after the evolution was complete, suddenly returned.

Without other interfering factors, Li Zhen quickly identified the root cause of the repeated changes in his body.

Li Zhen gestured for Rachel to be quiet, then looked up at the iron roof of the abandoned factory warehouse. She then floated slightly and drifted toward the warehouse gate.

Nightwing turned off his headset, then carefully moved his position and glanced at the observation hole he had previously used.

Only the gray-robed girl remained on the open ground, while Li Zhen had vanished without a trace.

"Oh no!"

Just as Nightwing was about to quickly move to a different position, a slightly teasing voice rang in his ears.

"What are you doing lying on top of me?"

Nightwing froze instantly, instinctively holding his breath, frantically searching for an excuse in his mind.

Although he already knew that Batman might have sent him there just to monitor Li Zhen, the two of them spent three days together lurking in all sorts of nooks and crannies in Gotham City.

Li Zhen was extremely familiar with her hairstyle, accent, and body type.

Considering the opponent's physical abilities, which are similar to those of a Kryptonian, his superhero attire—with a combat suit and an extra blindfold—would likely not be able to fool the opponent's senses at all.

Nightwing turned his head awkwardly.

"Well, it's probably quite reasonable for a private investigator to also be a superhero, right?"

Nightwing discovered that Li Zhen wasn't even looking at him.

Instead, he gazed solemnly at the sky and pointed to the yellow-green light that nearly enveloped half of Gotham.

"What is that?"

A deep, husky voice answered Li Zhen's question.

"Green Lantern, and also a Yellow Lantern ring to find those who can spread fear."

Suddenly, a dark figure appeared on the edge of the factory roof, watching Li Zhen warily.

Batman stared intently at Li Zhen's expression. He had already guessed who the Yellow Lantern Ring was for, and he had seen what kind of people those Yellow Lantern Legion members were before.

It's hard to say exactly what Li Zhen is made of that attracts the yellow light ring.

The only problem right now is, why hasn't the yellow light ring come off yet?

"Spreading fear?"

Li Zhen looked puzzled.

But he did have some memories and impressions of the Yellow Light Ring, and he also knew why the Yellow Light Ring was floating repeatedly in the sky above Gotham.

From the moment he fully integrated his soul with his own, he rejected the call from the depths of the universe.

Of course, this does not completely deter the Yellow Light Ring from seeking a host.

On one hand, there is more than one person in Gotham City who can be compatible with the Yellow Light Ring; on the other hand, it can still sense Li Zhen's presence.

The intelligent program within the ring simply couldn't understand why the host, who had been so captivating just moments before, was now emitting such vague signals.

"The Yellow Lantern Corps, like the Green Lantern Corps to which Green Lantern belongs, is a cosmic-level organization. However, unlike the will that Green Lanterns seek, the Yellow Lanterns seek warriors who can spread fear—you seem to fit that description."

Batman stared at Li Zhen until she stopped observing the light in the sky and instead looked directly into his eyes.

"I see. A legion that likes to spread fear sounds like a man-made Vitrum civilization."

Li Zhen suddenly "realized" something, then gave Batman and Nightwing, who was slowly retreating, a meaningful smile.

Then, he slowly stretched out his right hand toward the sky.

The bewildered yellow light ring instantly stopped wandering aimlessly. At this moment, its intelligent program once again captured Li Zhen's signal, a powerful being who could easily spread fear.

Within the ring's identification code, Gotham City below seemed to suddenly light up with a signal light that crushed everything around it.

It shook off the enraged Green Lantern and charged downwards recklessly.

"Intelligent life has been identified!"

"You belong to the Yellow Light Legion!"

"What are you doing?! Li Zhen!"

Nightwing stared wide-eyed in disbelief and couldn't help but scream.

Although he didn't know much about what Li Zhen had gone through in the past, he found it hard to believe that the gentle boy he had spent three days with would make such a decisive choice after learning about the Yellow Lantern Legion's background.

Batman remained silent, but he had already lowered his body, gripping three darts loaded with high explosives tightly in his hand. He showed no expression, nor any surprise.

Li Zhen's current choice had already appeared in his countless plans.

Behind the yellow lantern ring, Green Lantern, ignoring Batman's warnings, roared and flew down.

The only creature whose expression remained unchanged was the raven, which had just leisurely walked out of the factory.

She pulled the hood of her gray robe back up, raised her head slightly, and looked at the scene above with a blank expression.

"How boring..."

The atmosphere came to an abrupt halt with Li Zhen's sudden change of gesture.

Just before the yellow light ring was about to be slipped onto his finger, he suddenly pulled his arm back a bit, then quickly reached out and firmly grasped it in his fist.

Nightwing was nearly tripped by this sudden maneuver and slipped on the rusty metal plate.

Green Lantern had already condensed a giant green fist, and he vowed that whoever dared to become a Yellow Lantern Warrior in front of him would be sent flying with a single punch, along with the ring.

But when he saw the boy's movements clearly, he slammed on the brakes and stopped in mid-air.

No one knows better than Hal Jordan how difficult it is to capture a light ring that doesn't yet have a host; sometimes even Superman can't stop it from forcibly slipping onto the finger of its chosen one.

Li Zhen, however, was able to easily hold it in her hand.

Hal coughed awkwardly.

"Um, you there, what you're holding isn't a toy, it's a very dangerous cosmic-level strategic weapon. Please... please hand it over."

Batman paused for a rare half-second before calmly putting the dart back in his pocket.

Why are you all so nervous? It was just a joke.

Li Zhen shook his fist, and the yellow light of his fierce struggle still shone through the gaps between his fingers.

"To be honest, the fact that these rays of light can stimulate my body to evolve is truly a rare treasure."

Li Zhen slowly floated up to the silent Batman and extended her hand holding the yellow light ring.

"But I finally escaped from Witrum, not to join another cosmic organization that spreads fear."

"The Yellow Lantern Legion? Forget about it."

Li Zhen looked at the silent Batman, then at the slowly descending Green Lantern, and raised an eyebrow.

"You guys should be able to keep this thing safe, right? And I have a few additional questions about this yellow light ring."

"Storage? The radiation from the spectrum of fear is extremely dangerous; there's no way to handle it on Earth—"

Hal was about to offer to keep the ring and take it back to OA headquarters when he saw Batman pull out a black square box.

The deep voice carried an undeniable certainty.

"Put it in; this box can block the radiation of spectral energy."

With a click, the box closed. Hal first glanced in shock at the green light ring, which was no longer emitting alarms, then looked at Batman with a terrified expression.

"No? Where did you get that stuff? Oh, tell me this kind of material doesn't even exist in the Milky Way!"

Batman ignored Hal Jordan's screams, flicked his cape, and flew off the factory roof.

"Let's talk about your problem at the Bat Cave."
