"Just because the Battle of Color and Light is the prelude to the Blackest Night, you don't dare to go to war with Sinestro?"
Hal understood the meaning of Ganser's words, but could not accept their attitude towards the prophecy, "The choice of war is not in our hands now.
It's not that we are causing trouble for Sinestro, it's that he has brought the crisis to us.
To put it bluntly, even if we surrender and let the Yellow Lantern Corps destroy Oa, the battle of color and light will still begin, but we will all die, and we don't have to wait until the Blackest Night."
A little blue man with a single ponytail said: "We are not as stupid as you say.
As you said, the initiative in the battle between the Green Lantern Corps and the Sinestro Corps lies with Sinestro. If he wants to fight, we cannot avoid it.
Therefore, we did not consider the issue of whether to go to war with Sinestro at all.
You never gave up your investigation into the Yellow Lantern Corps, and we didn't stop your actions.
If war is unavoidable, fight it.
But what happens after this battle?
What is the peak of the color-light war? Why are you fighting?
How does war bring about the Blackest Night?
There are so many questions waiting for us to find answers.
The first thing to determine at this time is whether the prophecy of the Blackest Night is true."
Hal sighed: "Thank you very much for your honesty and telling me the secret of the Blackest Night.
But to be honest, I don't care about it at all.
The Blackest Night is too far away, and we are facing a battle of survival.
If we cannot overcome this hurdle, there will be no future."
Gunther seriously criticized: "Your idea is very realistic, but when it comes to the leader of the Green Lantern Corps, it is extremely wrong and short-sighted.
The relationship between the War of Color and Light and the Darkest Night is by no means just the order of before and after.
There should be cause and effect between them.
If the battle of color and light cannot be avoided, what impact will its intensity and outcome have on the intensity of the Blackest Night?
If we can figure out the secret, we can save countless people in the future.
As for the ‘battle of life and death’ you mentioned, you and I both understand that the first target of neither Superboy nor the Anti-Monitor is Oa.”
——Are you planning to let Earth and Harley fill the hole?
Hal was startled, and then thought: Maybe, the little blue man still wants Harley to directly defeat the Sinestro Corps, and then there will be no need to break out the "Battle of Color and Light" between green and yellow lights?
If it were Harley, she might be able to lead several S-class heroes by herself and solve this crisis at a very low cost.
This is very possible, because she has designed a "poisonous plan" to kill the anti-monitor. Once the plan is completed, the anti-monitor will die quickly, Superboy and Sinestro will turn against each other, and she will lead a group of heroes to take advantage of the chaos.
You will succeed easily.
That way, the "War of Sex and Light" doesn't break out, the Green Lantern Corps doesn't have to die, and the darkest night of not knowing whether it's true or false is no longer a hidden worry.
But this is unfair to Harley and the earth
"Superboy's escape from prison was a dereliction of our duty, and Sinestro is an unshirkable responsibility for the Green Lantern Corps." He said with complicated emotions.
Caught between the two identities of the hero of the Earth and the leader of the Green Lantern Corps, he was very conflicted in his thoughts. At one moment, he wanted the Green Lantern Corps to take on its "due responsibilities." At the other moment, he thought that Harley was so powerful, so perhaps he should "do more work for those who can do it."
The overall situation is the most important thing. Are you suffering from the earth and your friends?
As soon as he thought this, he was filled with shame and wished he could have good shoulders so that he could bear all the responsibilities.
"Then what's your plan?" Gunther asked.
Hal thought for a while and said: "First, lift the restriction on the 'lethal weapon' of the lamp ring."
Like the Justice League, Green Lantern cannot kill.
In order to ensure that the Lanterns on the mission cannot kill people, the Legion not only requires recruits to be strict with self-interest and abide by the bottom line in ideological education, but also sets a set of procedures to prevent killing in each ring through the central energy battery.
The output of the Lanterns depends entirely on the Lantern Ring. Without the Lantern Ring, most of them would be ordinary people.
Therefore, as long as the Green Lantern's attack is about to reach a lethal level, the ring will automatically stop energy output and issue a warning to the Lantern to stop using lethal weapons.
This would avoid 99% of casualties.
If the Lantern doesn't listen to the warning, the ring will cut off the green lantern's energy and turn him back into a normal person.
"You once praised this system as Green Lantern's 'bottom line' that cannot be crossed," Gunther said.
"In the battle of High Tech Prison, all 150 of our brothers died, but not a single one of us was left alive." Hal shook his head with a bitter expression, "I don't want this to happen again."
Before the appearance of the Yellow Lantern Corps, except for perverts like Harley who were once in a billion years, most of the forces in the material universe were crushed by the Green Lantern Corps.
The Green Lantern Corps are like strong adults, and the cosmic criminals are like children.
Green Lantern has the ability to control the use of lethal force while still ensuring his own safety and the completion rate of the cosmic police mission.
But now the form has changed.
The Yellow Lantern Corps and the Green Lantern Corps are similar in strength, and the "cowardice" of one can only encourage the arrogance of the other, making the enemy fight even more unscrupulously.
"If you think it's necessary, lift the restrictions."
Ganser had no objection, but he felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
His sense of crisis was vaguely touched, as if this change would bring unimaginable harm?
Ganse frowned and thought carefully, but found nothing.
He could only seriously add, "Hal, don't forget the original intention of restricting lethal weapons."
"I understand that lethal weapons are only targeted at the Yellow Lantern Corps." Hal said.
"In addition, starting from today, all Green Lanterns are not allowed to go out alone."
Afterwards, Hal made several more suggestions, but the Guardian did not deliberately embarrass him.
As long as it feels reasonable, it will be approved immediately. If it is not reasonable, you will also put forward your own suggestions for modification.
After doing all this, Hal was ready to leave.
Ganser stopped him and gave a serious warning: "Don't reveal the prophecy of the Blackest Night to anyone, especially not to the members of the Legion."
"Wouldn't it be better for everyone to take precautions early?" Hal asked doubtfully.
"What is Green Lantern's greatest quality?" Gunther asked rhetorically.
“The willpower to overcome fear.”
The standard answer came out of the mouth.
Ganser said with a complex expression: "Fear will weaken willpower and loosen the combination of Lantern and Green Lantern energy.
Fear is Green Lantern's biggest enemy, even the greatest Lantern in history is no exception.
The Blackest Night is the biggest nightmare for all Green Lanterns, including us Guardians.
Abin Su, who was given the green light to pass on to you, is a typical example of someone who collapsed in fear of the Blackest Night."
Hal was shocked, "You mean, Abinsu's death was not an accident?"
"It's an accident, but it's also inevitable. Before you, the greatest Green Lantern in history was Sinestro, but he only had this title for two short years. Before him, he was always Abinsu.
You know the strength of Sinestro. How powerful and great can Abin Su be, who is more capable than Sinestro?
But he died in a small accident, an insignificant and even humiliating death."
"How did he die? What does it have to do with the Blackest Night?" Hal asked repeatedly.
Ganser sighed: “He unexpectedly learned about the prophecy of the Blackest Night, and he felt fear at first, and then doubt.
He doubts us and the will of the Green Lantern Corps.
He fears the terrible future under the darkest night.
The disintegration of will caused by fear almost made the ring abandon him, or in other words, he subconsciously wanted to abandon the ring.
In this way, his strength is so weak that he is not even as strong as a new soldier.
A casual sneak attack by a third-rate interstellar criminal caused fatal injuries to him."
"You covered up this fact in the Book of Oa." Hal said with a complicated expression.
According to the record in the "Book of Oa", Abinsu died with great honor. He was the greatest Green Lantern in history, and the Legion even held a grand funeral for him.
Now it seems that none of the Legion's "greatest Lanterns" in recent decades have escaped, they have all fallen.
"The reason is obvious, just to cover up the Blackest Night." Gunther looked at him deeply, "You are different from other lanterns. You have completely defeated fear."
"I understand, I will only tell Harley one thing. She will weigh the pros and cons and decide who is the right person to know about it." Hal sighed.
The blue faces of Gunther and the other little blue men were slightly distorted.
Quinn Manor.
After leaving Oa, Hal found Harley immediately and told her the prophecy of the Blackest Night.
Unlike him, Harley didn't feel that the Blackest Night was too far away to be worth focusing on right now.
She is very concerned about the war between lust and light.
Because that means the Seven Lantern Corps is about to gather together.
She currently only has the green light, the yellow light defense skill has been raised to level nine, and the other five colored lights have not been turned on.
"Except for the Purple Lantern Corps on the planet Zamaron, have the other four major legions shown up?"
The little blue woman in Zamaron is an old acquaintance with her.
During the Crisis on Infinite Earths, she also led all the members of the army to join her and serve as her little brothers. They were very honest and very useful.
Naturally, she was very embarrassed to attack Zi Leng.
Hal was unsure: "Maybe there are traces, otherwise the guardian wouldn't be so nervous."
"You didn't ask them about such important news?" Harley was a little dissatisfied and urged: "Send a message and ask if Red Lantern, Green Lantern, Orange Lantern, and Blue Lantern have formed a legion, and on which planet are they located?
Establish headquarters.”
Her urgency and excitement aroused Hal's suspicion.
"What are you planning? You don't want to steal their lamp energy, right? Just like you stole the power of the green and yellow lights."
——Was she so obvious? Hal suddenly guessed her purpose.
Harley was a little embarrassed, but her face turned serious, "Didn't you say that? The Blackest Night is related to the safety of all life in the universe. How can I not care about such a big thing?"
Hal was doubtful and said: "No matter how dangerous the Dark Night is, it cannot exceed the Crisis of Infinite Earths.
Now that the mastermind behind the Crisis on Infinite Earths is back, it's obvious that you should pay more attention to him.
But you didn't even ask the Guardians about their attitude toward the Anti-Monitor."
Having experienced the time demon, he also served as the leader of the legion for a few years, and he is now in his early thirties and starting to run for the fourth grade. Now it is difficult for him to be fooled.
"Hey, it's not like you don't know my plan. Chao is about to complete the 'Superman Vibrator'. In my eyes, the Anti-Monitor is the dead bones in the grave." Harley waved her hand.
Hal stood up and said goodbye: "You already know about the Blackest Night. You have a wide network and may be able to get some useful information.
I'm going to see if Superman's equipment is ready now."
"You're going to the Metropolis? I'm on my way too."
Harley applied a layer of yellow lantern energy to herself, transformed into the Yellow Lantern, and flew alongside him.
"Hal, I'm serious. The key to the Blackest Night is the 'War of Color and Light'. This is a crisis within the Seven Legions. It's probably time to pay the price for the emotional spectrum energy.
The best way to break the prophecy is to find the remaining legions besides Green Lantern and Purple Lantern, and destroy them so that the war between color and light will naturally not break out."
Hal turned his head and took a deep look at her, and he was 100% sure that she was indeed eyeing the other colors of light energy.
After a moment of silence, he said: "What the Guardian means is that Superboy and the Anti-Monitor hate you the most and will definitely regard you as their main target.
With you and the Earth's heroes coming forward to deal with the Sinestro Corps, we may be able to avoid the war between the Yellow Lantern and the Green Lantern, thus breaking the prophecy of the War of Color and Light."
"What a beautiful idea the little blue man has! Hal, don't blame me for not reminding you that you always choose soft persimmons. The earth today is not a soft persimmon."
Hal sighed inwardly and changed the subject: "I'm going to the Hall of Justice, where are you going?"
"It's been 30 days since I met Luther, and the guy hasn't come back to life yet."
A moment later, "St. Harry's Cathedral" on the outskirts of the metropolis.
Well, from the name, you can tell that it is a newly built church in recent years.
Eighty percent of them still belong to the "Tiantian Mountain Sect".
Harley came to its door, looked up and saw the name, still calm and composed.
There are so many "St. Peter's Cathedrals" on the earth, and her achievements and power obviously exceed those of "St. Peter" and others, why can't there be "St. Harry's Cathedral"?
She felt at ease.
"What happened to you?"
After being led into the "coffin room" at the back of the hall by Lina, Harry could sense that Luther was still "unconscious" in the "coffin sleeping cabin" through a layer of oak coffin panels and transparent glass panels.
His soul is not naturally integrated with his body, and he is in an undead state.
The undead will spontaneously gather the "yin energy" of the shadow world, which is very conspicuous in the eyes of exorcists.
Although his sister Lina directly expressed worries, anxiety, and urging these days, she still sent a "Luthor Status Report" to "Magic Doctor Quinn" on time at 5:30 every evening.
She was annoyed by her, so she decided to come and check it out in person today.
"Although the hibernation cabin can keep your body active for a long time, your body and soul are in a state of separation. The longer the time lasts, the less likely you are to return your soul to its original place."
Lina said for her brother: "We fully followed your request and chose a church dedicated to the God of War in Heaven. We invited 16 highly respected old priests to recite the Bible in four shifts at all times in front of the statue of the god in the church hall.
Pray to the 'God of War in Heaven' - may the power of the God of War purify the impurity in his soul and body."
Harley nodded slightly, "There is indeed an extremely thin amount of faith near the statue of the God of War in the front hall and the coffin in this room."
"Extremely thin? But we have been praying for a month." Lena shouted unbearably.
Harry glanced out the door and said with disdain, "Where did you hire the priest? How much did it cost?"
"$200,000 a day, for a well-known archbishop in a nearby city."
"Dong dong dong" Harley tapped the knuckles of her right hand on the coffin board and said mentally: "Although they are rubbish, Luther you are even more unqualified.
It's been a month, and more than 90% of the breath of hell still remains in your soul.
The ‘San Gong Pai’ healing water is not purified at all.
The healing factor has not taken effect, so you are still separated from the body.
The fundamental reason is that you haven’t provided much faith in the ‘Heaven God of War’ at all.”
The principle of Luther's resurrection is very simple. There are two main points: first, purify the traces left by hell on the soul, using the divine power of faith of the God of War in heaven; second, purify the 'resurrection water' from the LS Road Pond, and remove three of the healing factors.
To obtain the Palace Power Seal, you still have to rely on the power of the God of War Harley, who is a Level 10 God Defense Specialty.
Those powers are all the divine power of faith, and faith comes from Luther himself, and Harley only blesses his divinity.
And because the power of faith comes from himself, it is not only easier to purify his soul, but also minimizes the side effects - the contamination of his soul by Harley's divine power.
"Oh, I have tried my best to believe in you as a god. I swear, I really tried my best." Undead Luther said.
He also understands the principle of resurrection, but if he can't do it, he just can't do it.
Just like a fool knows that he can get into Tsinghua University with perfect scores, but no matter how hard he works, he can't get full marks.
"It's hard to get over that hurdle in my heart," he sighed.
"The faith you provide for the God of War will ultimately be used on your own soul to serve yourself. What's wrong with that?"
"Can I take a shortcut? I haven't succeeded in a month. I'm afraid I don't have the talent to be your disciple." Undead Luther asked.
Harley blinked and thought of a way.
"There is a shortcut, but it's very cunning."
The Luther brothers and sisters were all shocked and asked anxiously: "What should we do?"
