There was no doubt that Greedy was just a codename.
All of Saber's enemies were from the past and present. None of them was a lowly character called Greedy. The Greedy mentioned by Jarvis was actually worth the orange lamp ring.
The orange lamp, the lamp of greed, was one of the evil powers in the soul spectrum and was also the most special existence in the Seven Lantern Corps.
What was so special about it?
Although the Orange Lantern Corps was called an army, in fact, there was only one real member … the orange lamp ringbearer. Saber had heard Tanya Dewan tell the story of this guy more than once as a joke.
The orange lamp had been around for a very long time, even before the Green Lantern Corps appeared. But so far, the power of the Orange Lantern Corps was still limited to a planet called Okaro.
That damned place was a notorious criminal paradise in the universe. Any criminal who could escape to that place would be protected by the Orange Lantern Corps, but once they entered that place, it meant that they would never be able to leave.
Because there was only one rule in that place: greed!
Greed was an emotion that was easy to understand. Every person, every life, as long as they had wisdom, would breed greed. Under normal circumstances, we call this greed desire. The idea of wanting something was the primary manifestation of greed.
And the highest manifestation of greed was the extreme possessiveness of everything, just like a pixiu.
On Okaro, no one could escape. It was also the manifestation of this extreme possessiveness. The leader of the Orange Lantern Corps, who was also the only member, believed that as long as it was his, no one else could take it away. He monopolized the energy source of the orange lamp ring and was unwilling to share it with other ringbearers, so it evolved into the current situation.
As for the story of Planet Okaro, I won't go into detail here. To summarize it in one sentence: The watchers wanted to take back the dangerous Lantern Ring, but under the power of the Ringbearer recognized by the Lantern Ring, both sides were tied. Unwilling to kill more, and lacking overwhelming power, the watchers sealed the Ringbearer and Planet Okaro together, forming an extra-large cage.
Right now, Seiber's Lantern Ring Hunters had already sneaked into the sealed Okaro Planet and summoned their boss over.
"Phew, the air in this damned place is terrible!"
This was Saber's first impression of Planet Okoro. As a damned place that had been sealed for millions of years, one could not expect it to be that beautiful. In fact, there were bandits from all over the universe who lived here, and those guys did not look like people who would take care of the environment, resulting in the planet being basically a mountain of trash.
A world that was completely enveloped by the law of the jungle! It was a world that drove people with mysophobia to death!
As Saber took a step forward, a rat jumped out of the stinking gutter and splashed the disgusting muddy water on his shoes. Saber stopped and looked down at his dirty shoes. He was silent for a moment.
Behind him, Nebula was already suspended in the air, unable to bear it any longer. Demonic fire was burning around her, incinerating everything that tried to get close to her. Jarvis, who had severe mysophobia, even put on a spacesuit over his body.
"How should I put it? I haven't seen such a terrible environment in a long time."
Saber stretched out his hand and covered his nose. Behind him, a dark green door opened with a bang:
"There are villains here. No one will blame us if we kill them, right?"
Seeing his boss flip out and Nebula nodding frantically, Jarvis was a little hesitant, but when he saw the trash world in front of him, he finally nodded.
"Then let's destroy this place … Even the most barren desert is ten thousand times better than this trash world in front of us!!!"
In Saber's inexplicable anger, the burning flame giant strode out of the portal. These big guys who had just joined Saber's team were very willing to show off their abilities in front of their new boss, so in less than 10 minutes, the city that was originally piled up like a mountain of trash had turned into a deathly silent ruin.
Garbage and the garbage creators covered the ground in the form of ashes. Although there was still a strange smell in the air, it was no longer unbearable. Saber stepped into this world with satisfaction. But just as the flames danced into the distance, amid the screams of the alien villains who fled at the sight of the wind, an orange light suddenly broke through space and appeared in the sky above Saber's head.
It was a pulsing arc of light with the power of other light rings. The orange light curtain was even more lifelike and vibrant than all the light curtains Saber had seen before. In Saber's observation, the moment the arc of light landed, it flipped and formed a lifelike python, a fat energy behemoth with cold eyes and an ugly appearance that crowded the sky.
This was a way of using the light ring that Saber had never seen before. He also felt a special will from the python in front of him. It was as sinister, ugly, and strong undisguised jealousy and greed as it looked. This made him squint his eyes involuntarily. Although it was not a happy thing to be looked at directly by such a gaze, Saber unexpectedly felt a kind of "vitality" from this python.
This snake was a deeper manifestation of the power of the orange light ring! That was a field that Saber had not explored yet, but he did not expect to see it in this disgusting world.
"No! Outsiders, you have destroyed everything I have! "
The shape of this python was so strange that it attracted everyone's attention in an instant. It even made people ignore the strange guy sitting on the snake's head until he saw the thick ashes under Saber's feet. This alien in an orange combat suit hugged his head and let out an earth-shattering scream, which attracted the attention of others.
He had the limbs and body of a human, but on his neck was a head that looked like a mix of a dragon, a dog, and a mouse. He had sharp teeth that bared the corners of his mouth and orange hair. As he spoke, his bright red tongue flickered, looking a little evil.
At first glance, this guy looked like a … kobold from a fantasy story!
At this moment, he was staring at Saber and his entourage with a hateful gaze. He jumped up and down on the fat python's head and shouted,
"You'll pay!"
"You're an orange light ring bearer?"
Saber asked in a deep voice, "You're Laflize?"
The story of the Orange Lantern Ringbearer had spread far and wide in the Seven Lantern Corps. Even the newbie HAL knew about it. Laflize, on the other hand, didn't care about such a strange reputation, so he wasn't surprised when Seber called out his name. He scratched his chin and sized Seber up. Soon, his attention was attracted by the four Lantern Rings on Seber's fingers.
The kobold's eyes shone in an instant, like a ghoul who saw food, a drunkard who saw good wine, or a pervert who saw a beauty. His eyes shone with undisguised desire and greed, and after this emotion appeared, the eyes of the fat python under him also bloomed with the dangerous light of a predator.
"Light rings! Four! Mine! Mine! They're all mine!!! "
Laflize seemed to have completely lost his mind at this time. He jumped up from the fat python, and his body turned into an orange arc in the air. This was the flying ability that all light rings would give to the ring bearer. This guy who was stimulated by greed in his heart rushed towards Saber like a cannonball. As expected, he was sent flying by Saber's slap.
"Boom!"
In the midst of Lafliz's screams, his figure was like an orange iron ball, smashing into the ash-covered ground without any resistance, leaving a human-shaped dent in the ground and splashing up a cloud of dust.
"So weak?"
Saber looked at Laflize who climbed out of the pit with difficulty, his eyes full of doubts.
If this was the orange lantern ringbearer's strength, then how weak was the watcher back then to lose?
"Desire Python! Bite him to death! "
A mournful voice rang out from the ashes with a trace of crazed greed. "Give me all of his rings!! Mine! All mine! "
"Whoosh!"
The figure of the orange python suspended in the air stretched to the limit at this moment, like an arrow released from a bow. It hit the space in front of Saber, and then it was firmly bound in place by the space. This ugly monster struggled desperately. Its fat body gave it great strength, and it smashed Saber's space binding. It opened its mouth, and its sharp teeth made of light fiercely bit towards Saber.
"Well, this power is barely passable …"
Saber looked at the Desire Python in front of him. He closed his right hand, and the purple flames turned into a heavy fist at this moment, smashing the Desire Python's forehead. This blow instantly shattered the energy python in front of him, and orange light shone everywhere. In the flickering orange light curtain, it finally returned to the finger of the embarrassed Laflize.
It reorganized into an orange ring.
Seeing this scene, Saber's eyes suddenly lit up … Sure enough, this kind of biological transformation was also a way of using the energy of the Lamp Ring. It gave the power of the Lamp Ring to a physical body, and while supplying it to the host, it could also be used as a companion to attack. It seemed that Laflize, the only ringbearer of the Orange Lamp Corps, had developed the power of the Lamp Ring to a higher stage.
Saber lowered his head and looked at the four rings on his fingers. If the orange Lamp Ring could transform into a Lamp Beast, then there was no reason why the other Lamp Rings couldn't do this …
"Swoosh!"
A green arc of light pulsed on the surface of Laflize's body. The dog-headed man smiled evilly and clenched his fists. The red power of Wrath pulsed on his body, and the blue arc of light helped him erase the effects of Wrath.
"Aha, your power is too delicious! I can't wait to get more! "
His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a guy who had lost his mind. Looking at the pulsing power of the Lamp Ring on the surface of Laflize's body, Saber suddenly understood.
"The Orange Lamp can actually absorb the energy of other Lamp Rings. No wonder they didn't dare to attack you …"
Saber looked at the dog-headed man, "Their power will eventually become your weapon, but I believe that it won't be permanent … Show me what else you have. Speaking of which, this battle has just begun, and I'm already tired of it!"
"Arrogant thief!"
Laflize jumped up from the ground, his hands on his waist, and floated in the air. An orange light flashed around his body, and in the pulsing Flame of Greed, different forms of characters that resembled ghosts flashed one after another. These guys seemed to come from all over the universe, but they were uniformly wearing the same orange battle uniform as Laflize.
In other words, these guys were originally qualified to be ringbearers.
"Hmph!"
Laflize, the dog-headed man, was shining with a blue and green light. He proudly put his hands on his waist and looked at Saber who was alone. Behind him, there were thousands of Orange Lamp Spirits who were killed by him because they tried to get their hands on the energy of the Orange Lamp.
The dog-headed man felt that he had a great advantage!
"Give me your Lamp Rings and your loyalty, and I'll spare your lives!"
Looking at the golden gauntlet and the shining purple gem on Saber's right hand, Laflize's eyes were full of greed, "All your treasures, your will, and even your existence are mine!!!"
"Uh, wait … Let me ask."
Saber stretched out his left hand and made a pause gesture. He looked at the confident Laflize in confusion.
"You … You want to use the human wave tactic with me?"
"Give it to me!"
Laflize, who was sure of his victory, didn't want to waste any more time talking to Saber. He shouted with a fierce face, "Give me the ring. Look at you, you're also coveting my precious ring! But it doesn't matter, after you become a member of my Ghost Army, I'll personally take back those treasures from your corpse!!! "
He placed his finger in front of his eyes, intoxicated. Looking at the light reflected from the orange ring under the gloomy sun of this planet, his eyes were full of fascination.
"Mine … Mine! This can only be mine! "
He hugged his ring tightly to his chest and glared at Seiber as he roared ferociously, "What are you doing?
"Ghost Army! Eat him! "
"Okay …"
Saber breathed a sigh of relief. At the moment when the Ghost Army charged, the Dark Gate opened behind him. The rich Dark Energy dyed half of Planet Okaro's sky black in an instant. Saber's finger tapped the air, making a sound similar to knocking on a door. He glanced at Laflize, shook his head, and said softly,
"Yvette, don't sleep … Come out and eat!"
