American comics: Praising the sun, starting from Gotham!

Yes.

Before me stood a cold and arrogant queen.

It was his childhood sweetheart, the former vice president of Ferris Airlines, and his ex-girlfriend.

Carol Ferris!

What is she doing here?!

How could she have become the Queen of Starsapphire?!

Hal Jordan.

Carol Ferris looked at Hal with the same look she had when looking at a familiar stranger.

"I should have known it would be you."

"Only you would be so reckless and rude as to trespass into a place you shouldn't be."

"Carol? What's going on?"

Hal felt that his brain had completely stopped functioning.

Why are you here?

Why am I here?

Carol gave a cold laugh, raising her hand to reveal the purple light ring on it, the purple gemstone emitting an eerie glow.

"Because I am different from you, Hal. I have finally found true love and chosen to dedicate myself to it."

"Unlike some people."

"They only know how to run away. They only value responsibility and career more than their loved ones."

"I……"

Hal opened his mouth, but found himself unable to refute it.

Just then, Shuen, who had always been relegated to the background by the Queen, interjected with a comment.

Xiu En suspected that the two were having an affair and decided to help them out of their awkward situation.

He looked at Carol, then asked very seriously:

"So, ma'am."

"How much overtime pay did he give you back then?"

"Is he worth you risking your life for?"

Carol, who was passionately accusing the unfaithful man, looked at Hugh.

The surrounding Star Blue Stone warriors also fell into an eerie silence.

Their love radar detected an unusual signal.

No normal person would ask for overtime pay under these circumstances!

Caught in the middle, Hal felt that his social life had come to an end at that moment.

He buried his face in his hands, looking like he wanted to die.

I even wanted to immediately transform into a groundhog, dig a hole and burrow inside, never to come out again.

"What are you talking about?"

Carol looked very angry.

Xiu En had achieved his goal of diverting their attention; clearly, neither of them felt awkward anymore, although it seemed they had some issues with him.

But it is not important.

Hal shook his head at Xiu En, trying to stop him from continuing.

However, Shuen seemed completely oblivious to the change in atmosphere.

He pressed Carol for an answer:

"Or did she not give you your year-end bonus, so you dumped her?"

"Shut up! Please! Just shut up!"

Hal let out a mournful cry.

Carol looked at Shuen, her mind, consumed by love and hate, clearly unable to comprehend his thoughts.

Hal had followed Xiu En for a while and understood Xiu En's thoughts from the very first word he spoke, but he was unable to stop Xiu En.

Not to mention that Carol isn't asking him anymore, he's even a little grateful to Xiu En, so he can bury his head in the sand like an ostrich.

Carol asked in confusion:

"I don't understand, what does this have to do with overtime pay and year-end bonuses?"

"It's a very big deal."

Shuen said in a serious tone, and then he took out a cookie from the pocket of his all-purpose trench coat and handed it to Carol.

He pointed to the cookies and said.

"You see, in my company, if you want someone to work hard for you, you have to at least provide them with afternoon tea and excellent benefits. Only then will they feel a sense of belonging and be willing to bleed and sweat for the company."

"On the contrary, if the boss is too stingy and can't even bear to give out cookies, then employees will definitely leave."

Carol: "..."

"That's enough!"

Carol felt like she was about to be driven mad by this golden monster.

She ignored Xiu En and instead directed all the pent-up anger—a mixture of love and hate—at the source of her pain.

Hal Jordan!

"Hal! I'll make you feel the pain I suffered back then!"

"Why me again? Xiu En just told you to go find him!"

"I don't care, I'm going to use love to rebuild your cold heart, a heart that's only filled with responsibility!"

Carol began reciting the oath of the purple light.

Fear and confusion entwine our hearts; in the darkest night, sleep eludes us.

A delicate finger enters the ring, changing her makeup; in this world, a solitary love fills the purple light!

The purple lamp ring on her hand burst into light!

Just as she was about to make her move!

An unexpected change occurred!

An aged voice resounded from above everyone's heads, echoing through the sky!

"Emotions are a flaw in the universe. And the existence of the Lamp Beast is the ultimate error that needs to be corrected."

Along with this sound, a pure black spatial rift appeared in the pinkish-purple sky above Carol and Hal!

A man dressed in a tattered blue robe, with gray hair and a withered face, looked like an old scholar who had stepped out of an ancient book, emerging from the black crack.

The moment he appeared, the entire Crystal Land of Zamalun let out a mournful cry!

Fall in love with reading, starting now.

An ancient pressure originating from the very beginning of the universe has descended!

"Who are you?!"

Carol warily looked at the old man and raised the scepter in her hand.

"I?"

The old man looked at the ring on Carol's hand that was emitting a purple light.

"My name is Colonna."

"An exiled scholar, a collector of the universe."

"I smell the scent of a predator on you. That purple emotional entity born only of love and heartbreak."

"And that is why I came here."

He announced:

"Your struggles are futile. Give it to me. It will become a piece of my puzzle in exploring the mysteries of the universe's origins."

Xiu En looked at the withered old man and thought for a moment.

He tossed the cookie toward the other person.

"You look like you haven't eaten in a long time, this is on you."

The cookie, which embodied Afu's lifelong skills and love, fell from the air toward Colonna.

However, in Colonna's eyes, this organic matter, full of carbohydrates and human emotions, was worthless, even a piece of garbage that polluted his vision.

He raised his hand.

"Smack."

Ah Fu's cookies were crushed into the finest powder in his withered palms.

The powder slipped from his fingers and dissipated into the sweet air of Zamalun.

In that instant.

All the relaxed, playful, and amused expressions on Xiu En's face vanished.

"A meaningless aggregate of energy."

Colonna didn't care at all about what he had crushed.

He simply re-examined Xiu En before him.

Just now, he only regarded this golden creature as another fly buzzing around the predator's cake.

But now he realizes he was wrong.

"interesting."

Colonna's gaze fell on Shuen's hand, which was adorned with the six-colored ring!

"The tender green of will, the rusty yellow of fear, the blood red of anger, the azure of hope, the pungent orange of greed, and even the golden light that just appeared in the universe!"

"Six! You actually collected six emotional entities! How did you do that?! They are clearly a paradox of the universe, incompatible forms of energy! What method did you use to forcibly bring them together?! Was it the gravitational binding of higher dimensions, or the causal entanglement of quantum states?!"

"No, apart from your own pathetic little bit of solar energy."

His gaze swept over Shuen's ring repeatedly.

"They're all just auras. You only extracted samples of their origins! Where are their true forms? Where did you hide them?!"

He stared at Xiu En like a robber who had discovered an even greater treasure.

"Hand them over!"

Hal and Carol were forced to retreat repeatedly by the increasingly frenzied aura emanating from Colonna.

They could feel the green and purple energy within them trembling before this pressure from a higher dimension.

What kind of monster is this old man?!

However, Shuen looked at Colonna as if he were looking at a dead corpse.

Making cookies and attempting robbery are unforgivable.

"Do you know?"

He reached out and shook hands in the air where cookie crumbs had once drifted.

"That cookie was delicious."

He raised his head, his golden eyes finally meeting Colonna's crazed gaze.

"so……"

Xiu En smiled.

"You can go die now."

Before he could finish speaking...

A gray energy shield powerful enough to distort light erupted directly in front of Colonna!

However, he was quick.

Xiu En is faster than him!

Xiu En's fist had already pierced through space, through the gray energy shield, and imprinted itself on Colonna's old face, which was filled with shock and disbelief!

"Bang------!!!"

Colonna's seemingly frail body was as if it had been struck head-on by a planet moving at full speed, and crashed into a crystal spire in the distance!

The spire, constructed of crystals of love, shattered as if it were made of paper!

The entire planet Zamalun trembled violently!

"For love!!!!"

At this moment, Carol Ferris, the queen who was blinded by anger and jealousy, seemed to think that this was a golden opportunity to get rid of everyone at the same time!

An unprecedentedly powerful purple energy, a fusion of possession and endless heartbreak, erupted from her body!

Within that purple flame, a hideous phantom, composed entirely of energy, with wings on its back, resembling a combination of a demon and a beast, appeared and disappeared behind her!

Then she looked at Hal, who was still pretending to be an ostrich.

The Lantern Beast, a predator representing love! It has awakened!

at the same time.

Colonna's figure slowly floated up.

The golden fist mark on his withered old face was rapidly healing, as if time had reversed.

He wiped away a trace of gray blood from the corner of his mouth. The initial shock and disbelief in his cloudy eyes had faded, replaced by an even more intense ecstasy!

"Perfect!"

He even had the composure to let out a neurotic exclamation.

"Ah, this radiant energy, and so much unused spectral energy—it's so beautiful! So captivating!"

"Who are you?!"

Carol warily looked at the old man and raised the scepter in her hand.

"I?"

The old man looked at the ring on Carol's hand that was emitting a purple light.

"My name is Colonna."

"An exiled scholar, a collector of the universe."

"I smell the scent of a predator on you. That purple emotional entity born only of love and heartbreak."
