The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Atositas was almost uncontrollably drawn to Li Zhen's presence.

The alien male, forever consumed by rage and revenge, stared at Li Zhen with a hint of horror, no longer even paying attention to Kyle Rayner, who was wearing the red light ring.

"Who are you?!"

As the leader of the Red Lantern Legion questioned him, a small amount of thick, scarlet liquid, resembling magma, splashed out.

This is true for most living beings who wear the Red Light Ring.

Their nourishment and fuel are the inextinguishable hatred and rage.

From the moment they put on the lamp ring, their hearts were replaced by the energy of the lamp ring.

Even all the fluids in the body, including blood, will be replaced by a scarlet liquid composed of emotional energy.

So those terrifying sprays that looked like blood were actually Athocitas's spittle.

Li Zhen didn't really want to answer this question.

The appearance of this Lord of the Red Lantern is truly indescribable. Under the endless, insane hatred and the alienation of the Red Lantern Ring's energy, all living beings will become zombies.

The overall appearance of this group of lanterns, distorted in such a horrifying way, became even uglier than the Yellow Lantern Legion. In particular, the leader of the Red Lanterns looked like a Licker from the zombie movie Resident Evil, with its tail removed and standing upright.

Li Zhen's silence undoubtedly provoked the Red Lantern Master.

No one in this universe has ever dared to ignore him like this.

In the past, he would have already taken action in a fit of twisted rage.

This time, however, Atochitas simply spewed two flames from his nostrils—plasma composed of red light energy that could burn fiercely even in a vacuum.

"Why have I never heard of you before?!"

Atocitas patiently asked another question.

Li Zhen looked at Kyle, who was still maintaining the light shield.

He remembered Kyle saying that, under the protection of the green light ring, his heart had not yet been devoured by the red light ring.

"The Red Lantern Legion cherishes every Red Lantern ring that finds a host. Why don't you take that ring off and return it to its owner?"

Li Zhen felt that she was vaguely turning into a pacifist.

Of course, this also takes into account the fact that Red Lanterns are relatively difficult to kill. These guys are deeply bound to their Lantern Rings; the lack of a heart is both a disadvantage and an advantage. They cannot be killed by ordinary physical means unless you crush the Red Lantern Ring on their hand.

Ironically, the angry red light is an emotional energy that Li Zhen doesn't want to be in close contact with.

This thing is even more sinister than a yellow light. It's like those people on Earth whose minds are consumed by anger. The energy of rage and hatred can burn away your sanity.

Kyle Reiner shook his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"The energies of the two light rings maintain a balance within my body, so it's not just that I can't easily remove the green light ring..."

Alright, you understand the rest without even listening.

Li Zhen looked helplessly at Atositas, who was trembling with anger from being ignored.

"Honorable Lord of the Red Lanterns, my friends are currently unable to break free of your lantern rings. Would you please show some leniency and let us pass?"

Sha Zan watched Li Zhen's retreating figure and muttered excitedly.

"They've changed, they've really changed. Before, they would have already gone up there and crushed them."

"No!"

Atos shouted. He raised his scarlet, wrinkled left hand, its sharp claws pointing at Li Zhen himself.

"You're coming back with me too!"

The atmosphere became tense, and Li Zhen fell silent again.

Sha Zan quickly flew to Jason and Amodro's side. During the flight, Amodro seemed to have detected something unusual about Jason's body (he had been Patient Zero infected with the Amodro virus), so Amodro kept trying to find topics to chat with Jason about.

Shazam interrupted the two of them in a low voice.

"I think we might need to put in some effort, otherwise it won't be so easy for us to leave."

Shazam had never met the Lord of the Red Lanterns before, but fortunately, Solomon's wisdom gave him a brief explanation of the other's personality.

In short, he's not the kind of person who will easily give up.

Therefore, Sha Zan felt it was necessary to call on others to help Lee Jung resolve this problem.

But clearly, Li Zhen's patience had been nearly exhausted by the battle at the war fortress.

Before Jason could reply, Shazam heard Li Zhen say something in a suppressed voice.

"They really won't listen to reason, so they'll have to suffer the consequences!" The air inside the light shield vibrated slightly.

Kyle Reiner exclaimed in surprise.

Because Li Zhen rushed out directly, without even needing his permission.

The released will energy was directly absorbed by Li Zhen's skin, and in the blink of an eye, the latter was squeezed out of the protective shield.

"Damn it!"

Sha Zan didn't want Li Zhen's transformation to go to waste, so he quickly tried to call Jason and Amodrome.

But outside the light shield, the first thing that came through was not the vibration of a fist striking.

Li Zhen floated in front of Atositas, at roughly eye level with him.

Atos, contrary to his nature, did not make a move, but instead stared intently at Li Zhen, as if expecting something.

A bit of red light energy enveloped her, creating an environment in space where Li Zhen, who had broken free of the light shield, could have a conversation.

"If I leave with you, could you let my friends go first? They still have very important tasks to complete."

Atocitas glanced at Kyle Reyna. The burly, scarlet-faced man's eyes clearly held a hint of reluctance; he seemed to want both.

But after thinking it over, he nodded.

"Can."

Not only was Shazam stunned, but even the Red Lanterns who followed Athocitas couldn't shut their mouths in astonishment.

Atositas valued his companions above all else, and he would never leave any warrior who wore the Red Lantern Ring out alone.

Simply put, it means as long as you wear the red light ring.

You must "join the Liangshan bandits".

There's no room for negotiation.

Of course, this is also the most troublesome aspect of the Red Lantern Corps.

These guys rarely act alone; they always travel in large groups, except when they need to wait for a new member to carry out their revenge independently.

Because almost everyone who gets selected by the Red Light Ring has just happened to encounter a deep-seated, irreconcilable hatred.

The Red Lantern Ring usually arrives first, granting the chosen one the power to complete their revenge. Then, Atositas leads the Red Lantern Legion, descending from the sky in pursuit of the Red Lantern Ring's signal, and recruits the newly avenged Red Lantern into their ranks.

Of course, some of these guys, whose brains were fried by rage, were arrogant and disobedient.

No matter, Atositas will teach the opponent a lesson with absolute power and then bring him under his command.

However, in front of Li Zhen, Athocitas made concessions again and again, even agreeing to conditions that seemed outrageous to the Red Lanterns.

Li Zhen turned around and gave Kyle Reyner an unquestionable look.

Kyle didn't hesitate at all. Ever since he regained consciousness, he had been troubled by the Red Lantern ring on his hand, and he was obviously already aware of the Red Lantern Legion's style.

Lee Jung is undoubtedly capable of becoming the temporary backbone of this strange team, much like Batman is to the Justice League.

Therefore, Kyle would naturally carry out orders without any scruples.

As the green orb carrying everyone flew further and further away past the group of Red Lanterns, Li Zhen looked at Atositas himself again.

"I can give you a rough estimate—"

Li Zhen used telepathy to ask Rachel about the current Earth time.

"Let's talk for half an hour, for example, why you want me to stay so much." Atositas finally stopped hiding his purpose.

He raised his thick arm and glanced at the lamp ring on his hand.

"From the first moment I saw you, it told me that you were more suited to lead this army than I was."

Her scarlet eyes, filled with a defiant spirit, locked onto Li Zhen once more.

"I want to know why?"

Li Zhen showed a hint of impatience.

As expected.

He could guess that the reason this madman was willing to abandon a fresh Red Lantern was probably because of this.

nmd.

It's either a yellow light or a red light; why does a green light look down on me?

While Li Zhen remained silent with a gloomy expression, Atos suddenly made an outrageous request.

"Use your anger, your hatred, and punch me with all your might!" His eyes glowed red, revealing a new way of using the Red Lantern that he had never used in front of his other Red Lantern subordinates before.

The control of the energy of anger and hatred.

"I want to see your rage for myself!"

Li Zhen only felt a blur before her eyes, and then the Atos were gone.

Instead, a rather familiar Witrum Square has been created.

Having already donned the regent's uniform, Cui Ge stood on the high platform at the very front of the square, rallying everyone while watching Li Zhen in the crowd.

"Among us, there is a pathetic one! For the sake of a wretched, inexplicably weak planet, he has betrayed the glory of Witrum!"

Countless gazes fell upon Li Zhen.

Disdain, arrogance, indifference...

Treger twitched his mustache and waved his hand.

"We'll destroy that pathetic planet in front of him! Then we can discuss how to deal with the traitor!"

Li Zhen's lips began to twitch. His fist, which hadn't been clenched for nearly twenty years (referring to the illusory Earth), finally hardened.
