"Swoosh!"
The orange ring was thrown into the highly concentrated hydrochloric acid. Seeing the thing sink to the bottom, Jarvis threw away the handkerchief in his hand with a disgusted expression and said to Nebula, who was piloting the assault ship back to Utopia.
"Tyrant wants us to clean it completely within 24 hours. This kind of physical cleaning alone isn't very effective. Is there a plasma cleaner on this ship?"
"Uh, there is!"
Nebula pointed to the passage behind. "It's in Cabin C-4. But is it necessary to do that? I think it's quite clean … "
Jarvis shook his head. This mechanical life with serious mysophobia held the hydrochloric acid bottle in his hand and said seriously, "Tyrant, I can understand your concern.
"I can understand Conqueror's concern. You've seen that disgusting thing. Who knows what that heavy fetish did with it …"
Nebula twisted her body in discomfort. She snorted and turned her head to control the spaceship, ignoring the busy Jarvis.
Logically speaking, if Lafliz's fighting style was more normal, using his fists and energy to fight Saber head-on, with the orange ring's ability to absorb the energy of other rings for his own use, he might not have lost so badly. However, this guy's mind had been completely distorted by greed, and he had become crazy.
Yvette, the Great Lord of the Dark Dimension, who was still grumpy from being woken up, led her Dark Valkyrie team into the battlefield. In less than 5 minutes, Lafliz's Ghost Army was completely drawn into the Dark Dimension that thirsted for more souls. Lafliz himself wanted to escape with the orange lamp, but he was punched in the back by the Tyrant.
Until the moment of his death, the orange ring bearer was unable to display his true combat strength. He was definitely the most aggrieved ring bearer to die in Saber's hands.
However, the problem was that looking at Lafliz's miserable state, Saber was a little hesitant about whether to wear this orange ring on his finger.
Greed was different from other emotions …
Anger, willpower, hatred, fear, and even hope. These emotions could be easily sensed, especially for Saber. He could forcefully suppress these emotions the moment they appeared. However, greed was different. This thing was born with wisdom. It would never appear with great fanfare. It would only hide in the thoughts of wisdom and devour one's rationality bit by bit.
In Lafliz's memory, Saber saw the life of this ringbearer. He was born a long time ago. At first, he was just a cowardly and greedy little monster. He was killed in a fight for food, and the crazy desire in his heart led him to become the first orange lamp holder. After that, Lafliz, who still had some wisdom, was completely ruled by the desire in his heart until he finally became the slave of the lamp ring.
It was a pitiful and sad life.
He had always wielded power that wasn't considered weak, but he had never appeared as a powerhouse. Perhaps when he was killed, Lafliz had already disappeared, replaced by an orange light ring that was the embodiment of greed.
Even in Saber's current state, he still couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be drowned by the hidden greed in his heart. Unlike the sealed Lafliz, Saber had tyrannical power under his command. This meant that if he wanted something, he could get it.
This was a terrifying temptation.
"Hum …"
As if sensing Saber's hesitation, the blue ring on his finger flashed a faint light. Saber looked at the light that represented hope. He thoughtfully turned his gaze to the fast-moving starry sky. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief, got up and left his office in the starship.
He was going to return to Earth with his spoils of war in a faster way. The speed of the starship was too slow for him …
Saber stepped out of the portal. What appeared in front of him was the renovated triangular wing building, which was also the destination of his previous journey. Just as Saber took a step forward, his figure suddenly stopped. He suddenly saw a figure that he hadn't seen for a long time. Probably due to the emotional influence of the Five Precepts, Saber made a somewhat immature move.
He quietly followed behind the beautiful figure who was strolling on the street, intending to give her a "surprise".
Diana, who was wearing a long black dress and a lady's hat, was strolling on the streets of New York. She had been somewhat depressed recently. As the Queen of the Amazon, she took over her mother's burden and led her people to live in the New World. Most of the people who were isolated from the rest of the world lived in a city near the sea in Utopia. They were very satisfied with the tranquility of the New World and began to try to make contact with the outside world.
A small portion of them obeyed the Queen's will and came to North America to live in various cities.
The Amazon civilization was a complete civilization. Although it was now separated into two sides, there were still a lot of government affairs to deal with every day. This was one of the sources of her mental exhaustion.
However, for the lady who had completely mastered the Divine Power of War, physical exhaustion was not a big problem. What was more important was the mental pressure. Especially after the recent incident, Diana felt that she seemed to be enduring terrible torture every day. She was almost suffocating in her residence, which was why she appeared here in disguise today.
She urgently needed to breathe a sigh of relief. In a leisurely situation, she made a difficult decision for the matter that she had been struggling with.
Women would more or less have some special feelings for men who had once saved them, especially for a goddess who had not experienced the taste of love for nearly 200 years.
Compared to those gods who were otherworldly, the demigod Diana's humanity was definitely stronger than her divinity. This gave her great power, and the outburst of her emotions was more intense than that of ordinary people. This was an instinct that demigods could never control, especially when the blood of Zeus flowed in Diana's veins. Zeus was famous for his "freedom" and "overflowing" when it came to the expression of his emotions.
So now, Diana had also encountered her own troubles.
She tried to erase the figure of the man from her mind. She wanted to persuade herself that it was just a casual help, and that there was only a pure comrade-in-arms between the two of them. However, the more she wanted to calm down, the more difficult it would be to deal with the rebound emotions, especially when a special power was added to her body. Diana's mood did not become better because of the distraction.
"Ka!"
Unconsciously, her jade-like fist had been clenched, making a cracking sound.
"Hey, beauty! Do you want to have a drink together? "
A frivolous voice came into Diana's ears at this moment, completely igniting the anger of the currently mentally unstable Goddess of War. She threw a punch without thinking. When her fist was thrown out, she suddenly realized that she had lost her composure. As a goddess who had mastered the authority of war, her control of power was already at the master level, so the moment her fist flew out, she withdrew it.
However, the jade-like fist was held in the air by another warm hand.
Diana was taken aback for a moment, then she saw the "source of all evil" that caused her to lose control of her emotions.
Seiber's expression turned serious. He let go of Diana's fist and took a step forward. He used his body to block the shocked gazes of the surrounding people. He whispered to the trembling Diana, "What's the matter?
"What's wrong with you? Did you lose control of your emotions? "
"Saber … I …"
The moment she saw Saber, Diana had an uncontrollable impulse in her heart. She wanted to tell him all her inner troubles, but at the moment she opened her mouth, her strong sense suppressed this impulse. She took a deep breath, shook her head, and the expression on her face became indifferent.
"Nothing, I'm just not in a good mood …"
As she spoke, she quietly moved away from Saber, but the next moment, Saber took another step forward and held her shoulder with concern.
"You don't look like you're in a bad mood. Come, follow me to the triangular wing building. Let's have a good talk."
"Don't touch me!"
Saber's whisper of comfort was met with a sharp rebuke. It was like an electric shock. The moment Saber's fingers touched her, Diana was like a crazy beast. She punched Saber's chest, who was caught off guard, and sent him flying. When she saw Saber flying out, her eyes flashed with disbelief. Diana froze in place like a fool.
The surrounding onlookers saw this punch send a person flying, and they immediately fled in fright.
In the chaos, Diana hesitated to step forward to help Saber up, but the moment she took a step forward, the expression on her face changed. She gritted her teeth, turned around, strode into the crowd, and disappeared.
On the other hand, Seiber jumped down from the shattered wall of the shop with a gloomy expression. That punch didn't affect him at all. He was more concerned about the changes that happened to Diana. He had never seen the prideful Goddess of War reveal such a hesitant expression. Even when she was facing the vengeful Ares, she still had that determined expression on her face.
"What's wrong with her?"
Seiber glanced at the chaotic surroundings. Some people had already recognized him and were shouting his name as the Conqueror. They wanted to rush up and take pictures of him. This made him give up on the idea of chasing after Diana. He turned around and walked into the triangular wing building. He might be able to find out the truth here.
On the other side, Diana rushed to the seaside like crazy. She stared blankly at the ebb and flow of the tide under the dusk. After a while, she took off the black glove on her right hand like a madman. She looked at the purple ring on her ring finger and yelled out uncontrollably, "Hey! Hey! Hey!
"What the hell do you want me to do!!!"
"Don't torture me anymore … I can't be with him … Please, don't torture me anymore!!!"
"Get off me … Get off me! I don't need your power! I don't need your charity! I'm Diana, I'm the Queen … I don't … I don't admit defeat! "
She pulled the ring frantically, trying to take it off her finger, but the ring was like a part of her finger. It didn't move.
Purple … represented love. Yes, it was also a Lantern Ring.
It recruited Diana as the Ringbearer of the Lantern of Love without her knowledge. It was supposed to be a good thing, but the problem was that the Purple Lantern Corps, also known as the Star Bluestone Corps, had a strange commandment. One of the commandments was: Those who obstruct love must be the enemy!
At first glance, this commandment didn't seem to be a problem, but it was a serious problem for Diana. Her feelings for Saber were suppressed by herself. In other words, the one who hindered her from realizing her love was none other than herself.
So every time she suppressed her feelings for Saber, it was as horrible as torture for Diana. The extremely paranoid power of love whipped her heart and will, causing her to be in pain almost all the time. The worst thing was that Diana was also an extremely determined warrior. Her willpower was stubborn and she was unwilling to bow down, which led to a serious conflict between her and the Lantern Ring itself.
The pursuit of love and the shackles of self were two different emotions that used her body as a battlefield. She was almost tortured to the point of schizophrenia.
You see, love was actually not a beautiful thing in certain things. Forbidden love was synonymous with the beginning of torture …
At the same time, in another world, Professor Charles took off his glasses in exhaustion. He planned to get away from the heavy work and take a break.
He was also involved in Project Ultron. After the project went wrong, not only Fury and Zheng Xian, but even he was led into a very unfavorable situation by public opinion. The professor was not worried about his personal reputation. He was more worried about the impact this incident would have on the new mutant nation as the speaker of the Utopia Leadership Council.
Just as the professor fell into deep thought and put the Soul Gem Staff aside, a green light suddenly crossed the space and descended from the sky, enveloping him.
"Intelligent creature has been locked on, Charles Francis Xavier from Earth!"
"You have an incomparably compassionate heart."
"Welcome to the Green Lantern Tribe!"
