American comics: Praising the sun, starting from Gotham!

The twelve guardians fell into a brief silence.

The first to break the silence was Ganse in the crowd.

His face was filled with pain and guilt.

"That was a tragedy."

"It's a mistake we can never make up for."

"We are deeply sorry for all the lives lost."

"Feel sorry?"

He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Gantzer, your emotions are overflowing again."

The Guardians glanced at him, then turned to the group of agitated Green Lanterns below, and spoke in his rational voice:

"There's nothing to apologize for."

"The mechanical hunter's programming deviation was an accident. But the destruction of sector 666 was a necessary growing pain for the stability of the entire universe."

"Their deaths provided the data and foundation for the Legion's reform and rebirth. From this perspective, their sacrifice was worthwhile."

Apa's words ignited the fury in the hearts of all the Green Lanterns present!

"sacrifice?!"

Arise was the first to let out an angry roar.

"The devastation of billions of lives! The complete erasure of civilization in the entire star sector! In your mouth, they are nothing more than a cold, hard value?! They were living, breathing human beings!"

"Emotions only bring noise and misjudgment, Arise."

Another guardian responded.

"You are now dominated by these useless emotions, forgetting your true responsibilities. Your responsibility is to maintain the order and balance of the universe, not to question your creators over a civilization that died hundreds of millions of years ago!"

"If we hadn't created the Green Lantern Corps! If we hadn't given you power! You would be nothing!"

"We follow the will of justice, not your authority!"

"You have betrayed us! You have betrayed the most fundamental creed upon which the Legion was founded!"

Shuen stepped out from behind Hal.

"I think I understand now. Your thinking is that if I hadn't given you job offers back then, you'd still be unemployed at home! You should thank me; those who got blown up were excellent consumables who sacrificed themselves for development. Is that what you mean?"

His words caused all the guardians' faces to darken.

"You are that variable."

"Not stopping the darkness? A contaminant that shouldn't exist, disrupting all prophecy. Hal Jordan, your association with such a being constitutes the highest level of treason."

He delivered the final verdict directly to Hal Jordan.

"Hand over your ring, then enter the Well of Stagnation and await final judgment."

He was still trying to command Hal.

"What if I refuse?"

Hal glared at him and retorted.

"Then I will personally clean house!"

A massive, unimaginable surge of willpower erupted from his body, making all the Green Lanterns present feel their hearts tremble!

A beam of green energy, like a holy lance of judgment, traversed the distance of space, thrusting straight towards Hal's chest! He wanted to personally strip this rookie who dared to question him of his source of power!

"Bang--!!!"

However, the Holy Lance, which was powerful enough to instantly kill any Lantern, was caught by a hand wrapped in four colors of light less than half a meter from Hal's chest.

Shuen had somehow appeared in front of Hal.

"Sorry, I'll protect Hal."

"Hmm, the material is good."

"The will is pure, without any impurities. It's just too rigidly concentrated, lacking a soul."

As he spoke, he applied slight pressure with his five fingers.

The Holy Lance, imbued with the supreme authority of the Guardian, was shaped into countless green specks of light!

Then, under everyone's gaze, he opened his mouth and sucked all the green light spots into it.

"The taste is alright."

He gave it a barely passing grade.

Blasphemy!

"You deserve to die!"

Chief Guardian Apa couldn't understand! How could the other party ignore the will attribute of the Green Lantern energy! How could it devour it like food!

But he understood one thing.

This golden contaminant must be removed!

"Kilowog! Arise! Salak!"

"Did you all see that?! This is the monster you chose to believe in, the one you chose to associate with! What are you waiting for?! Carry out your duty! Arrest him! Purify him!"

However, Kilowog and the rebels behind him remained suspended in place, motionless.

Most people simply watched the guardians high above in silence.

Some even started chanting the oath of the green light, which, unsurprisingly, meant they were about to attack the little blue man.

"Stubborn to the end!"

"It seems that the long period of peace has made you forget where this power comes from."

He raised his hand as he spoke.

Immediately afterwards, the other ten hardline guardians did the same thing.

They simply connected their will, their authority, and their thoughts to a source located at the core of OA, existing in a higher dimension.

"We are the guardians of the universe, the supreme creators of the Green Lantern Corps."

"You are hereby disqualified from wearing the Ring of Light!"

Command: Execute.

"Command confirmed."

"Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap—!"

The two hundred-plus elite Lantern Knights, representing the legion's strongest fighting force, all had their dazzling green light extinguished in that instant!

Their rings no longer respond to their will.

Their tangible weapons vanished into nothingness.

Their ability to fly vanished instantly!

Like a flock of birds with clipped wings, except for some species that are born to fly, the other two hundred or so figures fell helplessly from mid-air!

"No!!"

As Kilowog plummeted, he let out a furious roar of defiance!

He tried to rekindle the ring with his willpower, but the ring that had once resonated with his heart was now unresponsive!

He watched helplessly as he, along with his proudest students and companions, plummeted to the ground!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Heavy thuds echoed as the planes crashed to the ground.

Fortunately, they were all battle-hardened warriors with physical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people, and they did not die in the fall.

Several Green Lanterns with relatively weaker physical abilities were unharmed thanks to the help of other Green Lanterns who were born with the ability to fly.

But the humiliation of being deprived of power is more unbearable than death.

Apart from the twelve blue figures and Xiu En, the entire hall was empty.

Only a green light remained.

Hal Jordan.

His ring was still glowing.

That guardian light, awakened in the sea of ​​blood and imbued with personal will and the cries of all living beings, seemed to have transcended the underlying agreements set by the guardians.

It no longer simply draws energy from the central energy cell, but also draws power from Hal's own heart, which is beating for others!

"What I give, I can also take away."

Apa looked down at the mess below.

"It seems there's a minor bug in the program."

His gaze fell on Hal.

Shuen winked at Hal from the side.

"Congratulations, Mr. Director. After all your colleagues' accounts were suspended, you became the only chosen worker who can still go to work normally."

Hal ignored Shuen's teasing. We have all the multiverse/infinite universe genres you like, welcome to visit p>

He looked down at his comrades lying on the ground.

His instructors, his comrades-in-arms, and the brothers who fought alongside him for the same ideal.

He raised his head, his eyes no longer filled with any doubt or confusion.

"You bunch of arrogant bastards!!!"

He let out a roar that sounded nothing like Green Lantern, but more like Red Lantern!

At this moment, all his will, all his emotions, and all his strength converged into one simple belief.

Charge!

Then, give those arrogant, haughty little blue faces a good punch!

Hal Jordan, a mortal from Earth, transformed into the only remaining shining green light after all his companions fell, and charged towards the twelve guardians of the universe!

Facing Halna's charge, fueled by his entire life and will, Chief Guardian Apa's eyes remained completely unmoved.

"Foolish emotions."

Immediately afterwards, the ten hardline guardians beside him also extended their small hands.

Eleven streams of will energy, representing the strongest order in the universe, intertwined and resonated in an instant!

They simply erected a wall woven purely from the laws of will along Hal's path of charge.

In their view, that was enough.

This is enough to crush any tool that dares to challenge their authority, along with its ridiculous courage, to pieces.

"boom--!!!"

Hal crashed into the wall!

His green light uniform was torn to shreds!

A mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth!

His body was thrown out and fell helplessly to the ground.

"Look, this is the consequence of being vulnerable when dominated by emotions."

It was as if Apa was giving the fallen Lanterns their final lesson.

"He could have been one of the greatest warriors in the legion, but he chose the most foolish way to die."

Another guardian chimed in.

"Now, fix this vulnerability and that golden contaminant, then reformat the entire Legion's loyalty agreement. This farce should end."

The moment of judgment has arrived.

However, just as they were preparing to join forces again and unleash a devastating blow, Hugh shook his finger, a look of regret on his face that seemed to say, "How could you treat such an excellent employee like this?"

"How can you just let him leave the game like this? We finally evolved to version 2.0, and you want to delete him before he's even out of the trial period? You guys have no respect for talent."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers at the two hundred or so Green Lanterns below, who had lost their power and whose eyes were filled with resentment.

"Time to get to work, Green Lanterns."

A surge of energy erupted from his four-colored ring!

This time, it's about willpower!

A beam of green light shot up from the ring, piercing through the dome of the Guardian's Hall and heading straight for the core of Star OA!

Central power battery!

At that moment, the expressions of all the guardians changed drastically!

"What is he trying to do?!"

"He's communicating with the central power battery?!"

"Impossible! Only we have the highest authority there."

Before they could finish speaking, the entire planet OA was shaken!

After sensing the new will that blended the four flavors of "Sun (Shuen)," "Anger (Athocitas and Bloodslaughter Bull)," "Fear (Parallax)," and "Will (Ion Shark)," the central energy battery emitted an excited buzz, as if it had seen a long-lost relative!

A torrent of green energy, like a pillar of creation, burst forth from the core of OA Star and connected to the ring in Xiu En's hand!

"No--!!!"

Apa let out a terrified scream.

Xiu En became the temporary administrator of this massive energy surge.

He felt the surging power within the ring, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Alright, system restart."

He gave new instructions to the Lanterns below.

"Administrator privileges have been compromised. Force all users to log back in now!"

Ganse, who had been observing without participating, quietly channeled a wisp of his will into the torrent of energy, creating a small backdoor for Xiuen to bypass the access control protocol.

"Received administrator instruction, initiating reconnection."

"Permission verification failed. Verification of the backup protocol was successful."

"Energy transfer initiated!"

Strands of green electricity shot out from Shuen's ring, striking each of the falling Green Lanterns below!

In that instant, the buzzing sound of more than two hundred rings restarting resounded throughout the entire hall!

The rings, which had already dimmed, burst forth with a green light that was more furious than ever before!

The power that was taken away has returned!

As Kirowog looked at his fist, which was shining brightly again, and felt the surging power within him that he had regained, hot tears streamed down his rough face.

The Lanterns hovered in mid-air, watching the golden figure.

The very next second after they regained their power, more than a dozen of the fastest-reacting Lanterns acted simultaneously, shooting out more than a dozen green beams of light that caught Hal just before he was about to be smashed into a pile of minced meat.

"impossible!"

"Have our permissions been overridden?"

"What exactly is that monster?"

The hardline defenders were thrown into panic.

Their greatest asset is their absolute control over the legion.

And now, this power has been taken away from them right before their eyes by the golden monster!

"run!"

I don't know who was the first to shout it out.

Immediately afterwards, these cosmic rulers, who had just been judging all living beings, transformed into eleven blue streaks of light and scattered and fled out of the hall!

They need to escape!

Escape this golden demon!

As long as they are alive, and as long as the central energy cell is still there, they will eventually take everything back!

But will Shuen give them that opportunity?

"Trying to run away?"

Did I tell you to leave?

In his eyes, the ring connected with his body and borrowed a great deal of power.

The golden divine fire surged!

It transformed into the Golden Crow Emperor's Fire, which incinerated all things and judged all the gods!

"Blasphemy, contempt for life, and distortion of the truth are unforgivable sins."

"I, in the name of the sun, hereby sentence you."

"Soul! Fly! Spirit! Scatter!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden wall of fire appeared, and all the Green Lanterns poured their energy into it.

With the help of all the Lanterns, the Guardian Hall was completely sealed off!

The eleven blue streaks of light that tried to escape crashed into the wall of fire!

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Their souls, which had lived for billions of years and thought themselves immortal, howled in the flames as they were burned bit by bit into the most utter nothingness.

Except for one person.

Shuen's flames, as if they had eyes, bypassed Ganther, who had only kept his eyes closed in pain from beginning to end, without making any attempt to escape.

A few seconds later.

The flames dissipated.

The eleven figures had completely disappeared.

Only Ganser, that lonely, blue old man, hovered in mid-air, unresponsive.

An era has come to an end.
