When Batman put on the ring, everything seemed to have returned to three years ago. He heard HAL's voice. "Why does he want to destroy us? Is it really because he believes that we will bring destruction? "
Batman turned around and saw HAL. He was talking to a little blue man wearing a white robe similar to a Jedi Master. The little blue man was the master of Planet OA and the guardian of the Green Lantern Corps — Ganther. They were the earliest intelligent life forms in the universe, and they had advanced technology and civilization a long time ago.
After a huge disaster, the guardians came to Planet OA and created the Green Lantern Corps.
The light ring on Ganther's hand had turned blue. He said to HAL, "There is a prophecy in the Book of OA about darkness. Every user of the energy ring must use their own light to fight against the darkness. Sayd and I both believed that the prophecy was true, but the other guardians thought it was nonsense.
"They deceived themselves and destroyed the prophecy, then banished us in the name of emotion.
"That is why we went to find the blue light ring and created the Blue Lantern Corps. As the seven colors of emotional energy found their own users, we realized that the day of the prophecy was not far away!
"But we did not expect that there would be someone who believed in the prophecy more than we did, and his thinking was different from ours …"
HAL said solemnly, "Is that the cause of this disaster? Just because of fear of a 'prophecy'? "
"You don't understand that kind of darkness. The different colored lights originate from the power of emotions. The green light represents will, the yellow light represents fear, the purple light represents love, the red light represents anger, the green light represents sympathy, the orange light represents greed, and the blue light represents hope. These seven lights will one day form their own teams and engage in a 'Battle of Lights'. Then, the 'Blackest Night' will descend. The black light represents death. It will devour all life."
Ganther sighed. "The most terrifying thing is that when the black light appears, 'death', who has been searching for this world, will find this place, and the world protected by the prophet will be destroyed instantly. So the black light cannot fight against it. Although it originates from the power of the emotional spectrum, the white light of life cannot compete with it at all. "
"Because there's an even more powerful force of 'death' watching this world."
"I've racked my brains to find an answer to Darkest Night, but all I can see is darkness of despair. Faced with this dark future, someone has finally made a different choice."
"What choice?" Howl asked.
"Since darkness is caused by light, and the Darkest Night is caused by the gathering of the Seven Lanterns Corps … then to eliminate darkness, we must eliminate light. If we want to stop Blackest Night, we have to destroy the Seven Lanterns Corps first. "Ganse handed a thin document to HAL.
Howl took a look … Minority Report — Nine Lanterns Corps.
"The prophet made a prophecy. Only by stopping the Seven Lanterns Corps from gathering can the world be saved. He gave us a notice. Once all seven corps are born, the committee will start to destroy one or two corps to maintain the balance of terror. Based on experience, they will usually choose the corps with negative emotions, such as Red Light and Orange Light. "
"But someone felt that instead of maintaining the balance of terror, it would be better to completely solve the problem. He believed that the prophet had foretold the key to completely solve the problem, but he was unwilling to carry out his own concept of creation, protection, and shelter. That was why he chose to delay. That's why he stole this minority report and found a way to completely resolve Blackest Night. "
"That is … to completely destroy the Seven Lanterns Corps!" Ganther said calmly.
Howl suddenly trembled. He raised his head and looked at the distant sky. "He's here!" he said in a low voice. On Planet OA, countless green lights accompanied the Green Lanterns as they shot into the sky. Powerful Lanterns rose one after another in the city. The energy of the green lights was molded into energy bodies of various shapes. Many Lanterns used their will to mobilize the electromagnetic power of the central energy source of Planet OA. Together, they formed a huge light shield that covered the entire planet.
Countless green energy arrows pierced through the energy shield and shot toward a black dot at the edge of their vision.
They could see that it was a figure.
The figure just waved his hand and destroyed all the energy bodies rushing toward him. The energy bodies of thousands of Lanterns were shattered. The most special of the Green Lanterns — a planet with self-awareness — appeared in front of Planet OA. Its unparalleled body was thousands of times larger than Planet OA. The power of the Ring of Light depended purely on the willpower of the user.
The strength of the self-awareness of the planet was countless times stronger than that of humans. Its willpower could easily crush a planet of the same size with the Ring of Light.
This special Green Lantern had the power to destroy a sector of the universe.
The power of the Ring of Light was molded into an extremely destructive ion radiation source. Green energy bodies continuously gathered from the surface of the huge planet to a point directly facing the figure. Until the energy was so strong that it could easily penetrate a planet and distort space. Even the protective shield created by thousands of Lanterns to protect Planet OA could not withstand it.
The beam of light quickly burst out and shot straight into the dark universe, penetrating the tiny figure.
In an instant, the entire Planet OA was silent! Had this powerful enemy been destroyed? The figure of the Lord of Red Lanterns, Atohitas, appeared beside HAL. His body was burning with a fiery red energy, so much so that HAL felt suppressed when he was near him. Although the Lord of Red Lanterns did not show it on the surface, HAL could already feel the anger in his heart.
He was so angry that he was willing to compromise, to let go of the hatred of his homeland being massacred and ask for help from his mortal enemy, Planet OA.
"This attack won't be enough to kill that demon! Arrogant Green Lantern … "Atohitas said in a low voice.
"You can actually remain calm after seeing me!" HAL was surprised. The Red Lanterns were in the color zone far from the center of the spectrum, so the user was more easily controlled by the power of the Ring of Light. The energy of the Red Lanterns burned with anger that would never be extinguished. Even if the Lord of Red Lanterns, Atohitas, had limited thinking, he should not be able to maintain his rationality.
"Because I have a target that I hate even more!" Atohitas said as he looked at the center of the powerful ion beam that engulfed him.
The ion beam dissipated, and the figure disappeared without a trace. Time seemed to have stopped for tens of seconds, but the Lanterns realized that the enemy had been eliminated. Instantly, the entire Planet OA erupted in cheers of victory.
But including HAL, the Guardians of the Universe, the Lord of Red Lanterns, and the other Ring of Light messengers, none of them could laugh.
An alien Lantern that looked exactly like a squirrel on Earth flew towards HAL. He said worriedly, "Something is wrong … HAL!"
However, HAL saw countless particles in the vacuum gathering outside the energy shield. In the barren space of the universe, there were only tens of thousands of particles per square meter. Therefore, many particles, including small particles of the quark level, were needed to gather enough matter to build a human body. A blue energy body glowed, and a tall, naked male Earthling body appeared in the vacuum.
His eyes were completely white, and his body was made up of a blue energy body.
He floated in the vacuum, sticking close to the energy shield formed by the green energy body …
The bald, blue-skinned man quietly looked down at the people on Planet OA, including the Lanterns. He gently snapped his fingers, and the planet-level Lantern found that the nuclear fusion energy reaction surging in his planet's core began to become abnormal. Just like a human's heartbeat began to accelerate, the nuclear reaction of his planet's core also began to intensify. The originally smooth fusion process began to go out of control.
He could feel that this was the accumulation of energy for a chain reaction. Soon, the energy generated by the fusion reaction was enough to detonate a part of the planet's core. Its heart was turning into a bomb.
"No!" The planet with autonomous consciousness roared angrily, unwilling to give up.
Soon, it was blown into pieces by the expanding force from the inside. The planet's core had exploded! The self-exploding planet could destroy Planet OA … but the bald, blue-skinned man did not let this happen. He watched the exploding planet, causing the planet's outer shell to collapse under the control of a powerful force. The force of the inward collapse neutralized the force of the planet's nuclear explosion.
Causing the entire planet to quietly shatter …
After dealing with the stumbling block, the bald, blue-skinned man turned his eyes to Planet OA. He stretched out his hand, and the energy shield that the Lanterns had materialized to protect Planet OA began to shatter …
Under his gaze, the bodies of the Lanterns began to disintegrate one after another, decomposing into skeletons in the sky before falling to the ground.
What he displayed was a crushing, unparalleled power!
HAL was as shocked as Batman and the others who were watching all this. He seemed to have some memories of this man — active during the Cold War, once leading the heroic team The Watchmen, considered by the U.S. government to be the strongest force on their side, and deeply feared by humans. In the end, he created a nuclear explosion, united the United States and the Soviet Union, and then disappeared mysteriously — Dr. Manhattan!
"You claim to be protecting the world … but you are actually creating terrible things. The more dazzling the light on your body, the deeper the darkness it breeds. Things have come to this … there is no second choice but destruction. I am not here out of malice, but I must still destroy you! "
Dr. Manhattan said, "I'm sorry …"
At that moment, a strong blue light swept across the entire Planet OA, and most of the Lanterns turned into ashes in the blue light, leaving only skeletons behind. This seemed to be the proof that Manhattan had left behind for them.
Only the most powerful of the Lanterns survived, including Hal Jordan, Atohitas, Skalos who seemed to be a combination of a dragon and a demon, the Meow Alien Spirit Li, the Orange Lantern Master Laveriz, Senisto, as well as a few core members of the Sai Family Army and the Green Lantern Army. The Blue Lantern Army's Ganthet, Syd, Saint Walker, Serhi, the Green Lantern Master Green Maiden, the Blue Lantern Queen, Karo, and the Destined Woman …
Everyone else was dead! Their Rings of Light fell into the dust …
Then, a battle of life and death unfolded before the eyes of Batman and the other two. They saw the remaining Lanterns and Ring Controllers attacking Dr. Manhattan with hatred. However, Dr. Manhattan was silent, or even slow, as he killed them one by one. Their struggles posed no threat to Dr. Manhattan.
The anger grew, and the fear grew. Even Hal fell into endless hatred and despair when Carol was killed by Dr. Manhattan. In the end, he took the initiative to merge with the parallax monster. All the Lantern Beasts of the Seven Lanterns Corps appeared, but they were still crushed and killed by Dr. Manhattan …
In the end, only the Seven Lantern Masters were still alive: Atohitas, Lavlez, Senisto, Hal Jordan, Ganther, Green Maiden, Queen Azurite …
In despair, the Seven Lantern Masters abandoned all their grudges and took the initiative to share their power with each other. In the gathering of the seven colors of light, the white light of life was born. The spirit of existence responded to their resonance and gave them the power of the white light. However, after obtaining the white light, they were still powerless and died in the hands of Dr. Manhattan.
Or rather, Dr. Manhattan deliberately let the white light appear, and after achieving his goal, he killed them.
When Dr. Manhattan stretched out his hand and clenched it lightly, the Seven Lantern Masters were swallowed by a huge tide of energy. The particles that formed their bodies turned into light and disappeared, leaving behind a huge crater …
The power of the white light dissipated. Batman and the others fell into the dust, covered in sweat, and fell into a nightmare …
The fear engraved in the white light followed them like a shadow, plunging them into despair.
