Chapter 490: Starlight's Awareness
After Diana joined the battlefield, the pressure on the Dawn Lantern increased dramatically.
Diana, who can suppress the ruthless war demons, and Starlight join forces to deal with a guy who has begun to show signs of decline, naturally.
Bang!
The Vulcan Sword stabbed out fiercely, like a bolt of lightning that split the sky.
Even in the night sky created by the "lights-off program", the Dawn-breaker didn't dare to be careless and immediately dodged backwards.
Relying on the induction, Diana bullied herself up and punched the body of the Dawnbreaker with her fists.
Diana's movement speed was comparable to that of the Dawn Lantern.
The Dawning Lantern didn't dodge in time, and was hit by Diana's fist, with a bang on the shoulder, and fell to the ground.
The ground shook violently.
Smashed to the ground, the Dawning Lantern immediately got up to avoid the next star attack.
Although I don't know where Diana came from as a superhero, but with Eric, they are obviously friends rather than enemies.
And the powerful aura that this exudes makes me a little terrified.
This must be a very powerful warrior!
Starlight gave birth to such a feeling.
Eric, who was on the ground, was holding a bat dart and was about to attack the Dawn Lantern again, but he stopped doing so soon.
It's not that the body can't support it, but the Dawn Lantern blocks himself with darker light. The lights-out program gives him the ability to create darkness, and he can enhance this ability infinitely.
Eric lost his target and could only give up using the Batarang attack.
He also has "dread venom" in his hands.
A poison that can make people feel fearful.
This is not for the Dawning Strange Lantern, even if he wants to inject this thing into the opponent's body, without the help of the Speed Force, I am afraid he can't do it.
This is for starlight.
It was originally a poison prepared in case of being unable to subdue the Dawn Lantern. Unexpectedly, when Xingguang wore the ring, it inspired the fear attribute of the ring, making the ring the yellow light ring of fear.
He thought of the dream he had when Governors Island was bombed into the sea by a missile.
In the dream, it was a scene of the end of the world. Starlight became the Yellow Lantern, who kept saying that he was a scumbag and beat himself to the ground.
Is the dream about to come true then?
While preparing the "Fear Poison", Eric fell into contemplation.
Forget it, thinking about those things at this time is a bit far. Now the main mission goal is to quickly kill the bastard, the Dawn Lantern!
"Annie, come to me!"
Eric shouted to Starlight who was fighting.
Starlight glanced at Eric, and immediately flew down and walked to Eric's side.
Panting, sweat dripping, blood dripping from the forehead and the corners of the mouth.
But full of energy.
Eric wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth for her, hesitated, and said, "Annie, I don't know how you awakened and changed the attributes of the ring, so that willpower was replaced by fear, but you must understand the power of fear. "
He took out the potion and faced the starlight, "Fear breeds and makes the yellow ring in your hand come into being, but the 'light-out program' of the dawn lantern has made its light rapidly shrink. If you want to break through the control of the 'light-out program', To regain its power, it will take a stronger sense of fear to fill it! "
"I have something like this, but I don't know if I should."
Eric said what he thought at this time. He wanted Starlight to become stronger and have a stronger fear, but he was a little afraid of hurting her.
After all, this is a "fear toxin". Although I don't know which is more powerful than the toxin of the scarecrow in the main world, it is definitely not something that can leave a good impression on people.
Batman was once injected with this thing, and he was so strong and tortured.
Eric didn't know if Starlight could endure it.
"I can!"
Starlight replied without hesitation.
She looked into Eric's eyes and answered word by word.
"Eric, do you know why I ride this ring with fear? It's because I'm a shady girl, always been, I've been peeping in the dark since I was a kid, envious of what others get, Fear of losing it."
Starlight opens up to Eric.
"Fear of what I've lost is also a fear. But since we met in a coffee shop, our first conversation, about your friend named 'Star-Lord', what I'm afraid of losing is not a superhero It's your identity, it's you!"
Xingguang was breathing nervously, and this kind of remark was almost a confession.
Eric smiled wryly.
"Starlight, I already have a girlfriend, and Harper is my girlfriend."
No, I'm rejecting it here. Could the starlight really turn black like in the dream?
Eric regretted it just after saying this.
Are you being too straightforward? !
"I don't care, Eric. Liking is a person's business. If I don't disturb you and just quietly like it, what will affect you? I don't want to hurt Harper, but I will also reveal my feelings. "
Xingguangsheng pursed his lips.
"Okay, Annie, we'll talk about this later. But one thing I'm going to decide right now is that I'm going to inject this stuff with you. If you're experiencing pain, then I'm not going to be a bystander, it will be Makes me look like a little guy."
Eric held Xingguang's wet hand, injected a needle into his neck, and instantly injected hundreds of liters of venom into his body.
Starlight was surprised!
I wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
She immediately followed Eric's example and injected fear toxin into her body.
At the same time, before he lost his mind, he scolded Eric: "You are so stupid!"
Although it is a curse word, it expresses Xingguang's helplessness and heartache at this time.
"Don't be overcome by fear, but master fear. Annie, the subject of the ring is people, and human beings generate emotions and thus power, and then the ring is controlled by power. Don't reverse the order, and don't be controlled by the ring."
Eric's body trembled for a while, and he tried to tell Xingguang word by word.
Then came a flood of fear.
Emotions flooded directly into his mind, and even strong reason could not resist this surging thing.
The hairs stand on end, the pupils shrink, the adrenaline rushes, and the muscles begin to tremble.
Human beings will always be controlled by this instinctive reaction as long as they cannot escape from the realm of human beings.
Eric had to fight the surging fear with his reason and emotion.
Starlight, who was held by Eric, also had a similar physical reaction to Eric at this moment.
At the same time, a vision unfolded before her eyes.
In my Ward Tower Warfare Lab, Starlight went back to when she first joined the Water Company.
The seriousness of the wretched deep-sea suit introduced her to various instruments in the war room.
Here, she did not know Eric, and listened to his explanation with high respect for the deep sea.
The next second, the screen changed, and Xingguang came to the bathroom and vomited in front of the mirror.
The makeup was all wet with tears.
"you......"
Starlight looked at himself in the illusion, completely stunned!
Could it be that the self here succumbed to the deep sea and O for him?
In the bathroom, Queen Maeve came over, looked at Xingguang who was gargling her mouth desperately, and said nothing.
After washing her hands, she took out a few tissues and handed them to Xingguang.
"God, clean yourself up!"
It looked like she knew what happened to Starlight, but didn't mean to help or fight.
An indifferent look appeared on Queen Maeve's face, and she walked back, "Don't let them see you look so weak."
Leaving the starlight in a daze.
"No! Is that what I fear?"
Starlight looked at what happened in the illusion, and couldn't help holding his head back.
"Yes, Starlight, that's what was supposed to happen. It happened naturally, according to logic and rules. Being forced to give the deep sea mouth on your first day at work, and then you've been healing for it your whole superhero career, This is your life as it should be, as it should be."
"Xingguang" who was rinsing his mouth suddenly turned around, faced Xingguang, and said coldly words that people could not ignore.
"what?"
Starlight didn't know why this fake "Starlight" in the fantasy world would say such a thing.
"That's what your fears are, having to go with the flow and be one of those bad guys, blend in, be them, do evil together, that's what you fear but what really happened. You didn't meet Eric, just fell like this Entering the dark hell, this is a real thing, not an illusion, but a real existence, in another world, no, it happens in countless worlds."
The fake "Xingguang" looked at Xingguang expressionlessly and said something that made her shudder.
"Not... fake?"
"You also feel that your life should have developed according to the worst trend, because you have always been unlucky, and it is helpless to encounter such a thing. Compared with the scene that looks incredible now The story that you met Eric and was rescued was even more false!"
The fake "starlight" has no change in tone, like a robot.
Starlight was confused by her.
She even really began to suspect that everything she had experienced was fake, and the scene in front of her was what she should have experienced.
The concept of true and false was subverted in her mind.
She became extremely dazed.
When I was gradually losing myself, I felt that a warm current in my palm was rushing towards me.
A warm, nostalgic warmth.
Starlight instantly perked up.
She looked at the fake "starlight" in front of her and shook her head, "Although my life has taken an astonishingly unbelievable path, it may be hard to believe. But in my opinion, it is very real. Because I The most real existence is in the hand!"
