Chapter 644: Lantern No. 1 and the Collapse of the False Timeline
"Absorb the emotions of everyone on Earth 1?"
Shadow Firong hesitated: "What are you going to do?"
"I have recovered part of my power now." Lantern No. 1 said: "Of course we will not directly fight the heroes of this universe. That will make the universe discover what we want to do, and then trigger all the immunity of the entire universe. Cells, that is, the passive counterattacks of those heroes. We should avoid this, otherwise even if we can win in the end, we will be dragged into a time-wasting battle."
"And we have no time to waste." Shadow Bane said. He was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then the same thinking pattern of the same person made him realize what Lantern No. 1 wanted to do.
"We must hurry up because Parallax Magic Hal may invade reality from the upstream of the super-time stream under the arrangement of Batman's Dragon!"
Shadow Bane has not considered the possibility of failure. Even if Parallax Magic Hal fails, his action of invading downstream is still a fact, and as long as this action is taken, then they can try...
"We can try to sneak attack Parallax Magic Hal. The moment he escapes from the shackles of the super-time flow is his weakest moment."
He said: "Even if this escape will not have a huge impact on the entire multiverse for the time being, we can use this to regain our power from the super-time flow, and even plunder more from him, such as Antimatter energy belonging to the Anti-Monitor."
Lantern No. 1 raised a finger and shook it, then a mysterious look appeared on his face:
"Parallax Hal is not an emperor clown. Once his history changes, it will be devastating to the entire multiverse."
That's right.
If Parallax Hal during the "Zero Hour" period directly left the historical position where he was supposed to be, then the major event that would be most affected would be "Green Lantern: Rebirth".
It's easy to summarize what happened in this big event.
After the events of "Zero Hour", the repentant demon Parallax Hal sacrificed himself in "The End of the Night" and died together with the terrifying monster called the Sun Eater, successfully turning himself into a dead man. Became the host of God's vengeful spirit "Ghost".
Hal remained dead for many years, and was only successfully resurrected during "Green Lantern: Rebirth", followed closely by "Blackest Night."
And this event laid a foundation:
Green Lantern Hal Jordan only found a way to control Black Death Emperor after successfully getting familiar with Black Death Emperor during the Blackest Night, and finally used Black Death Emperor as a Gundam during "The Rage of the First Lantern". A scythe struck Lantern No. 1 to death.
If Parallax Hal simply disappeared and "Green Lantern: Rebirth" didn't even happen, then how could the First Lantern fail?
Every major historical event in the super-time flow is interconnected by cause and effect, and one move affects the whole body.
Parallax Magic Hal is like a load-bearing steel bar supporting the huge building of the DC multiverse. When he forcibly pulls himself out of the solidified cement pillar, the DC multiverse will not collapse because there are other The existence of steel bars, as long as the matter can return Parallax Magic Hal to his original position in the end and allow him to restore the history of the multiverse's super-time flow, then there will be no consequences.
But the problem is that during the period when Parallax Magic Hal "left his original position but has not returned yet", the hypertime stream will automatically generate a false "If Parallax Magic Hal disappears in "Zero Hour", What will the future look like?”
This fake history is cement that has not solidified. In the fake history, of course Lantern No. 1 was not killed by a scythe, so doesn’t his power still exist in him?
Lantern One was able to draw strength from this cemented pseudo-history that had yet to solidify.
Before Parallax Magic Hal truly returns to his original position, this temporary false history will truly appear in the super-time stream, continuously providing Lantern No. 1 with the power of his heyday, just like a man who never Stop refueling his gas tank.
It is precisely based on this consideration that Lantern No. 1 has the courage to stretch out his claws on the weak Parallax Demon Hal. If he can severely damage the opponent during the weak period when he has just come down from the super time flow, he can even rely on his knowledge of the emotional spectrum. With his control ability, he stripped some of the anti-matter energy belonging to the Anti-Monitor from Parallax Hal's body.
After the Anti-Monitor's body was completely destroyed by many heroes during the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" period, most of the antimatter energy left behind was obtained by Parallax Hal, which gave him his invincible power in the "Zero Hour" period.
The other part of the energy was collected by Alexander Luthor Jr., and was eventually instilled into Superboy Prime, creating Superboy, the crazy and powerful demon god.
Even if Lantern No. 1 could take away part of it...even a little bit of antimatter energy, it would be enough to greatly enhance its power.
And powerful strength is an important bargaining chip for final victory.
This matter is very dangerous. Even for the weak Parallax Demon Hal, it is extremely dangerous to bite the opponent, and he may even lose half of his teeth.
But once successful, it will not only weaken Parallax Magic Hal, but also weaken Batman's dragon. This temptation will also be impossible for the first Lantern to give up.
"So we need to absorb the emotional energy of Earth 1. Only after absorbing these energies can we be strong enough to be successful in a short period of time."
Lantern No. 1 said: "You can make some additions to this plan."
He did not leave the decision-making power to Shadow Firong, but Shadow Firong had no plans. Objection, to be honest they are both the same person. The moral level of Lantern No. 1 has long been exhausted in the tens of billions of years of imprisonment.
Despite possessing powerful power, it even laid the foundation for the entire emotional spectrum of the DC universe. He has achieved an extremely great cause, but deep down in his heart, Lantern No. 1 has long been a lonely ghost who died in the past years.
Only reversing time can resurrect this lonely ghost. This is also the only thing this lonely ghost can fight for.
After so many years of autosuggestion and self-hypnosis, restoring Earth-15 is no longer simply the wish of Lantern No. 1, but has become his life sustenance and direction...
In other words, the reason for living... just like Black Manta's only remaining life is revenge against Aquaman.
"Okay." Shadow Bane nodded: "We have already forged an energy battery. We can extract the emotional spectrum energy of the entire universe by arranging secondary batteries in several major sectors of the entire universe, and inject them all into that one Emotional energy creates a degraded version of the Great Heart.”
(Note: The Great Heart, during the honeymoon period between the Little Blue Man and the Bane, the Guardians poured all their emotions into an energy battery, created the Great Heart, and implanted it into No. 1 Lantern's chest. This is why the Guardians of the Universe have no emotions, and why the original Lantern fell: the negative emotions of those Guardians affected Fron's thinking and caused him to be schizophrenic.)
The members of the Third Legion listened quietly, and they had already made their decision. Lantern One and Shadow Bane may know that these so-called members of the Third Legion are strong, but they don't know exactly how strong they are.
But in fact, the members of the Third Legion themselves know that each of them may not be as powerful as Lantern One in his heyday, but they are definitely on par with Lantern One and Shadow Bane in their current state.
And such a large group of weakened versions of Lantern One gathered together, even if they did not absorb all the energy of the entire Earth 1, they could still threaten Parallax Hal.
Therefore, even if they secretly cause trouble and make Lantern No. 1's plan fail, it will not affect the remaining parts of the other party's plan. At that time, all he needs to do is prove his strength to the other party and let Lantern No. 1 continue his plan. This is not difficult.
However, neither Lantern No. 1 nor Shadow Bane mentioned what would happen to the creatures in the universe once all their emotional energy is extracted.
Secondly, there is no longer any joy, anger or joy. Even the emotion of fear is no longer there. It is equivalent to when you see a big truck heading straight towards you, you don't even have the idea of hiding.
But Lantern One didn't care, and neither did Shadow Bane.
Even the members of the Third Legion didn't care. Their efforts to stop Lantern No. 1 and the Shadow Scourge were only the result of planning and voting, rather than the simple sense of justice and ethics of superheroes.
When the First Lantern completely fell out with the Guardians of the Universe and was tied up and studied like an experimental subject, the First Lantern, who had even performed heroic acts in the universe, had disappeared.
Even with his great power, Lantern One's world is a blank slate.
After all, he is just a lonely ghost.
…
…
…
I'm Sinestro, and I'm a lonely ghost.
I once thought Hal Jordan had stolen my destiny.
I'm too conceited, too arrogant, and too stupid.
At the dawn of the darkest night, I gained that godlike power: the power of the white light.
I could have shared the white light of life with every member of the Lantern Corps, and then worked with them to defeat the Black Death and protect our world.
But I had a second thought.
I tried to monopolize the white light of life, but my control over the life light ring was too weak, and the colored light army ultimately failed to prevent the Black Death Emperor from destroying the spirit of existence.
Encouraged, the undead swarmed the heroes and slaughtered them, resurrecting them all as black lanterns.
The strength of this army has grown exponentially since that moment.
So, in the battle of light and darkness...the battle of life and death...
Life is a big loss.
I am Zal Sinestro, and I know I am to blame.
I failed my universe and I knew I couldn't live alone.
I tried to kill myself but couldn't die.
Half of my body was controlled by the black light due to my suicide, but the other half with the white light ring was resurrected under the influence of the white light.
I became the person who controlled both the black light and the white light, and I also lost my future goals.
I mean, if you're living in ruins, you're the only one in the ruins.
So, tell me.
What hope do you have in life?
For a long time, White Lantern Sinestro has been trying to find a way to resurrect the entire universe in his own universe. He wants to make his universe come alive, but even he knows that it is in vain.
The existential spirit of their universe is dead, or close to death.
Even the new gods of Apokolips have been controlled by the black lantern power of the Black Death Emperor. After being surrounded and suppressed by the black lantern corpses of the new gods, the white lantern Sinestro has no hope.
Even though the white light ring he wore on his hand was still in effect, he had no ability to resurrect a dead spirit, not even the corpses of those from Apokolips.
Everything is over, and all that is left is to linger, unless he has a new spirit of existence...
Wait, a new spirit of existence?
The white light Sinestro who suddenly appeared in front of Chen Tao couldn't restrain the expression of ecstasy on his face. He rushed over and carefully grabbed the little existence in Chen Tao's palm like a fragile porcelain. Spirit, with a mixture of crying and laughing expressions on his face.
"It's the Spirit of Being, it's the Spirit of Being, he's still alive, he's still alive - a new Spirit of Being!"
He cried and screamed, regarding Chen Tao as if he was right. The little spirit of existence screamed, happily threw himself into the arms of the white lamp Sinestro, and even refused to obey Chen Tao's orders.
Sinestro raised his white light ring, and endless white light spread out from his palm, washing at hundreds of times the speed of light, and connected the bodies of every black light ring holder flying from the sky. Their dark energy was stripped away, leaving only cold bones and ashes.
"Why doesn't the Emperor Clown take action yet?"
Barbatos turned to look at the Black Death Emperor beside him: "A new spirit of existence has appeared. Isn't this your nemesis?"
He darkened his face: "I can't look at it like this anymore..."
He had to make other preparations.
"The Emperor's Clown may not be able to stop Parallax Hal. I have to help him."
While Barbatos was thinking this, he continued to think: "There is also the Black Death Emperor. I also have to participate directly."
"I can solve it." Barbatos wanted to say something to the Black Death Emperor, but then he heard the other person's words: "Although the power of the white lamp is powerful, the amount is too small."
He said: "And don't forget, half of the Sinestro in that universe still belongs to me."
Barbatos didn't talk nonsense. After hearing what the Black Death Emperor said, he quickly made a decision: "The Black Death Emperor can still hold on for a while, the top priority..."
"I fully support the Emperor's Clown in blocking Parallax Hal!"
