Being able to survive one or two team-killing crises may be just luck.
But if a Green Lantern has survived from Crisis on Infinite Earths to the present, then he is definitely not a fool who only relies on luck.
Those old green lights are all human beings!
According to the plan discussed by Sarak, Kyle and others, when the Legion members arrive, they will use the Guy Gardner incident as an entry point to accuse the Guardians as soon as possible.
Then, Salak used the new Green Lantern law to impeach the Guardians for violating the Legion's laws, and encouraged Legion members to revoke their Guardians' powers.
In short, they must firmly control the initiative.
No matter what conspiracy the guardians had, they had no chance to carry it out.
If the conspiracy is not carried out in time, the harm can be minimized.
They are very smart to think this way and have this awareness.
As a result, Gunther had no intention of speaking by himself when he appeared on the stage. Instead, he let the Sector Lantern, who was near the border of the universe, speak first.
Sarlacc was counting on uniting the Legion members to fight against the Guardians, so it was naturally impossible to stop the Border Sector Lantern from speaking.
Then things got completely out of control.
Not to mention those ordinary Lanterns, even the old Green Lanterns such as Sarlacc and Kilowog who had formed a secret alliance also cast doubtful eyes on the two Earth Lanterns.
They are not blaming them, but want to ask: Is the blue monster that infected a planet and assimilated billions of creatures in one hour the product of the submojo virus?
As long as the Border Lantern's report is true, the "Blue Monster" must be a cosmic-level crisis, more important than impeaching the Guardians.
They began to hesitate.
"Colleague Gordon, as well as Colleague Russell from Sector 3098, and Colleague Sylvie from Sector 2999, since you discovered the danger of the 'blue monster' ravaging the sector, why didn't you report it to me immediately?"
Salak looked at several border lights and asked in a stern tone.
"These" three lanterns turned their hesitant eyes to the guardians.
The white-haired and bald little blue man said calmly: "We ordered them to keep it a secret.
In fact, not only the three of them, but also the 360 Green Lanterns near the border sector of the universe have received warnings from the Guardians in the past few days.
We warned them to beware of the 'Blue Amojo virus', urged them to find out the speed and scope of the spread of the Amojo virus, and also asked them to help with some experiments."
Kyle opened his mouth and wanted to remind him loudly: That is not necessarily the submojo virus from the earth. At least, don't stigmatize the earth until you get conclusive evidence!
But as soon as the Guardian finished speaking, Gordon, the Green Lantern in Sector 3188, immediately nodded and said: "Yes, I received the notice from the Guardian three days ago, and then began to actively search for the blue subalmozo infection in Sector 3188.
body.
It was not until yesterday evening that I saw the blue monster on Creed Star, which is the video you just saw."
"I received a notice yesterday, and soon found the infected Yamodra at the border of the universe. The guardian also sent some medicines for me to test its effect on the blue Yamodra." Sylvie from Sector 2999
Then he said.
"Well, I also tested a batch of virus immunity drugs developed by the Guardians, and used them on myself, and the results are outstanding!" Green Lantern of Sector 3098 looked at the Guardians with admiration, and said excitedly: "Colleagues,
You don't have to worry too much about the crisis of blue subamojo.
The guardians have developed an antidote. As long as the vaccine is injected, even if you are caught by the blue Yamodra, you will not be infected or assimilated."
Then a large group of Green Lanterns came forward to prove that what the Guardians said was true and that they had indeed been notified.
"Three days ago, the guardian projected in front of me and told me about the blue submersible. He asked me to be more vigilant and not to be touched by them."
"I also got the test potion, but I didn't have time to test it. Maybe Yamozo hasn't entered sector 2789 yet."
Seeing so many colleagues saying the same thing, Sarak and Kyle no longer doubted that Gordon, Sivir, and Russell were the guardians.
"Why didn't you tell me? I am the legion commander!" Sarak asked again.
Ganser said calmly: "You are a combatant and will not be helpful in studying the Yamojo virus. It is useless to tell you. Besides,"
His emotionless eyes turned to Kyle and John, "We still have many questions that need to be answered.
How did it spread into the universe?
Why don't they randomly erupt somewhere in the universe? Why do they start from remote cosmic borders and develop in secret?
Is there any conspiracy behind it, and whose conspiracy is it?
At least until a vaccine is formulated, we don’t think it’s appropriate to spread the word.”
Kyle and John's cheeks turned red, and the guardian was clearly hinting that the blue monster might be a conspiracy of the people on earth.
Sarak wanted to say something else, but the little blue woman reminded him indifferently: "The purpose of the Green Lantern Corps gathering today is to quell the 'Blue Amazo Crisis' as soon as possible.
For every minute of delay, thousands of people are converted.
We have only developed a vaccine so far, and we are not yet sure whether the blue Yamodra can be restored to its original state."
Kyle said excitedly: "How are you sure it is the Metamotron virus? If it is the Metamodro virus, why not contact the Justice League of Earth? We have already developed a vaccine for the Metamodro virus!"
"Doctor Natu, tell me." The little blue man with the black beard turned his attention to the daughter of Sinestro.
"Natu, you-" Kyle was shocked.
The expressions of Sarak and others changed slightly.
Their "Guardian Impeachment Plan" has attracted a group of old green lights, including Natu!
Red Pinatu said apologetically to Kyle: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide this from you. The guardian asked me to keep it strictly confidential.
In fact, my job is not complicated, I just assist the guardians in analyzing the genetic characteristics of the samples."
As she spoke, she used her lamp ring to project an analysis report in mid-air and explained: "The biggest feature of the Yamozo gene is mimicry.
Simply put, it can imitate any superpower.
In the process of imitating superpowers, its original genes will change accordingly.
Look at the process of mutation in its DNA starting from base pairs
The genes of Yamo Zhuo and the blue monster are both alienating, and the results of alienation are the same. It doesn't make much sense to discuss the results.
What is important is the process of genetic differentiation.
The transformation process of the Yamo Zhuo gene from the original state to the superpower gene is exactly the same as that of the blue monster.
Creatures with exactly the same base pairs are extremely rare in the universe.
If even the gene activity patterns are similar, they are almost the same race.
I checked in the biological archives of "The Book of Oa" and found that over the past 3 billion years, there have been many examples of genetic mimicry, possibly to the level of Amozo, but there is no second example.
It just so happens that the blue monster also has a strong genetic mimicry function.
They can assimilate anyone into a homogeneous species that is genetically identical to their own, which is the reverse application of genetic mimicry.
Essentially, it is the same as Yamo Zhuo imitating the super gene.
Moreover, the virus emitted by Yamo Zhuo can also turn anyone into a being similar to it.
To sum up, we have every reason to suspect that the blue monster is a mutant of Yamozo.
The Earth Zhenglian has long speculated that the Sub-Modra No. 1 body has left the earth and entered outer space.
Zhenglian even warned us that Ya Mo Zhuo is eagerly collecting superpower genes.
It is actively seeking infinite evolution.
This is extremely scary.
Therefore, the heroes of Zhenglian also asked the Green Lantern Corps to help keep an eye on its movements."
Both Kyle and Sarak were silent.
Natu may have concealed something before, but she would never lie for the Guardian.
There is no way to lie.
Natu is not the only doctor in the Green Lantern Corps.
The medical and biological departments of the Green Lantern Corps were all involved in the sample analysis - their signatures are at the end of the analysis report provided by Natu.
"The Amojo virus on Earth is extremely contagious, but it has a long transformation process and will not turn into a Mojo instantly. Moreover, the Amojo's skin is reddish-brown, not blue." John struggled in his voice.
Natu sighed: "Earth Yamo Zhuo is only the first generation.
Ya Mo Zhuo, who entered the universe and collected superpower genes everywhere, has evolved for unknown generations.
They turned blue, probably imitating the Guardian's genes."
She raised her head and glanced at the guardian, "I also found traces of the guardian gene in the sample.
As we all know, Guardians are the most evolved beings in the physical universe.
Ya Mo Zhuo is intelligent and has an indescribable desire for powerful super genes, so he may be eyeing the Guardian.
According to the information from Zhenglian, when the genes are secretly copied by Yamo Zhuo, you will feel mentally irritable. I wonder if you have similar feelings?"
The guardians frowned slightly, "Dr. Natu, this information is not in your report."
"Because I'm not sure either." Natu said.
"Guardians have the most powerful psychic power in the universe. It is impossible for Ya Mo Zhuo to copy our genes silently." The bald female Blue Man said stubbornly.
Seeing her like this, the doubts in the hearts of Kyle, Sarak and others faded a bit.
Just when they were confused and at a loss, Ganser said again: "Time waits for no one, the Green Lantern Corps must take action immediately.
At least block the blue sub-mazhuo from the outer reaches of the universe and buy time to find the final solution."
Immediately, many Green Lanterns became excited and shouted excitedly: "Yes, we set off immediately."
"Your Excellency, Guardian, haven't you already developed the vaccine? Have you mass-produced it? We must take the vaccine to save the civilization targeted by the blue sub-mozo, immediately."
Ganser waved his hand to calm them down and said: "Unfortunately, we have limited time. It was not until yesterday that we completed the safety test of the vaccine with the cooperation of dozens of green light volunteers. We are not yet able to mass-produce it on a large scale."
"Then let us use it first, so that the Green Lantern Corps can free their hands and feet to deal with the blue monster." A lantern said.
Ganser nodded and said, "Okay."
He turned to a Green Lantern with four octopus tentacles and said: "Colleague Charles, please go to the warehouse and bring the newly produced vaccine and distribute it to all your colleagues."
"What should we do now? Do we want to call Gai out and accuse the Guardian?" Kyle lowered his head and asked in a low voice.
"Natu has taken refuge with the Guardians." John reminded.
"No, she just followed the guardian's order and concealed the matter about the blue subamozo, and did not betray us." Kyle said immediately.
"How are you sure?"
"Through the eyes." Kyle said confidently.
John stopped talking.
"If we call Guy in now, I'm afraid not many colleagues will support us. Moreover, I'm a little worried now. If there is chaos within the legion, who will deal with the blue monster?" Sarak hesitated.
"Do you really believe that's Amojo?" Kyle asked.
"Whether it is Amozo or not, it is the biggest threat to the civilization of the universe. It is terrible to assimilate a planet in an hour." Elf Lantern Aretha said with a solemn expression.
"Colleagues, this is the vaccine. It can be taken orally or injected."
While they were communicating in low voices, Charles the Octopus Lantern, who was in charge of Green Lantern Corps drug production, had already arrived at the square carrying a silver metal box the size of a van.
"I suggest you take off the light ring before using the vaccine. Our bodies have a certain rejection reaction to the Yamojo vaccine, and the light ring will enhance this resistance. Taking off the light ring is more conducive to drug absorption."
As Charles spoke, he opened the box, revealing hundreds of green lantern arms, distributing transparent "test tubes" to the Lanterns one by one.
"If you need an injection, you can ask the colleague next to you to help and use the green light energy tool to find the syringe."
Soon, Kyle and others also got a test tube.
"Something's wrong, there's something wrong with it."
Kyle looked at the transparent liquid in the test tube and felt dazed for a while. He seemed to see the test tube shattering and the liquid turning into a blue monster that rushed toward him with a ferocious expression.
He shook his head vigorously, and the hallucinations in front of his eyes disappeared.
But the pounding heart and the uneasiness coming from the spiritual sense are all so real.
And the green light ring on the index finger of his right hand flashes with a faint seven-color light, which seems to be warning something.
"Salac, this potion cannot be used, and the guardian cannot be trusted." He said excitedly.
Sarak nodded and said: "Since the Guardian is suspected of destroying the Seven Lantern Corps, we'd better stay vigilant."
"I have no intention of using their stuff unless I see the blue monster with my own eyes and see the little blue man himself using the potion." Kilowog chuckled while holding the test tube.
"Just holding this tube of potion makes me feel uneasy." Aretha muttered.
"Me too!" Her words immediately attracted the approval of many Old Lanterns.
"Colleagues, listen to me!" Sarlac, the commander of the legion, flew into the air without hesitation and shouted loudly: "Don't use the vaccine yet. The guardians harbor evil intentions and cannot be trusted."
"What?"
All the lanterns were shocked, never expecting that the Legion Commander would say this.
"Salac, are you crazy?" Ganser said coldly.
Salak pointed at him and shouted: "As the leader of the Green Lantern Corps, I declare that you will be temporarily dismissed as the Guardian.
You can object and you can question my decision, but your questioning will be after my accusations are over."
"Your identity as the commander of the Green Lantern Corps was also appointed by us. Now we announce that you are no longer the leader of the Green Lantern Corps. Sarak, please take off your Lantern Ring.
After the review is completed, the Lantern representative and the Guardian will decide together whether to completely deprive you of your Lantern Ring." The bald little blue man said indifferently.
"Whoosh~~~" A green light cut through the sky and appeared above the square.
Guy Gardner is here.
"Colleagues, the guardian used conspiracy and tricks to frame me. Look, I have evidence."
He raised his right hand and projected the video of the Guardian secretly contacting the "Double-Knife Butcher" into the air.
"Except for the raw data recorded in the Green Lantern log, all videos and audios can be easily synthesized. This is Green Lantern's common sense." Gunther said calmly.
"Enough!" the bald little blue man shouted, "I've had enough of your barbaric, cunning and shameless Green Lanterns on Earth! The universe is still waiting for the Green Lantern Corps to save, but you are carrying out a coup in Oa. What do you want?
Will the Green Lantern Corps become the Earth Corps?”
The Green Lantern below was whispering, casting suspicious glances at Sarlacc, Kyle and others.
Just when Guy Gardner was about to get angry and roar, the bald little blue woman pointed at him and shouted: "Guy Gardner, you have been deprived of your Green Lantern identity. Who gave you the current lantern ring?"
?”
Then she turned to Sarak, "It's you! Only the legion commander has the authority to help him restore his identity without telling us."
"The video of your secret deal with the Double-Knife Butcher was filmed by me. I am not from Earth, and you all know who I am." Sarlac had a sincere expression and a loud voice, shouting to the lanterns: "I abide by the laws and rules.
, never bend the law for personal gain.
If I were partial to protecting the Earth Lantern, I would not have followed the Guardian's instructions and led people to arrest Hal Jordan when he and the Lord of Color and Light jointly acted.
I only did that because the Guardians did issue an explicit order prohibiting us from contacting the Legion of Color and Light.
I am now accusing the Guardians only because they did frame Guy Gardner."
"If you abide by the law, why would you spy on the Guardian? Isn't this contradictory?" A lantern asked.
"Colleague Dorn, you asked a good question. My behavior of spying on the Guardians did violate the Green Lantern Law. I will pay a price for it, but I have good reasons.
Hal Jordan is the greatest Green Lantern in history. His abilities and contributions to the Legion deserve the eternal respect of all of us.
But he was fired from the Guardian for inexplicable reasons. Is this reasonable?"
"The decision to fire Hal Jordan was made jointly by Green Lantern representatives and the Guardians." A Lantern immediately said.
Sarak opened his mouth and wanted to say: During the Green Lantern War, Green Lantern killed millions of Earthlings, and Earth's heroes killed thousands of Green Lanterns, so that there was a lot of misunderstanding and estrangement between Earth's heroes and Green Lantern, and there was a lot of confusion within the Legion.
The four great Lanterns who began to reject the identity of the Earth. The vote of the Green Lantern representative contained too many unreasonable and irrational subjective emotions.
But I can only think this in my heart, not say it, and even if I say it, it won't be a persuasive reason.
"Salac, I don't know what's going on between you and the Guardians, but the blue monster is real and the universe needs us to act immediately. This is also true.
No matter what accusations you have against the Guardians, they cannot delay our rescue operations." The sensible Lantern advised.
"I suspect that this gathering is a trap. There is something wrong with the vaccine the Guardians gave us, and even the blue monster was their work." Kyle Rayner flew into the air, side by side with Sarlacc, facing the Lantern below, and shouted to persuade
He said: "You can remain doubtful of my words, but please give me some time to return to Earth with this potion.
If it is verified that it is indeed a harmless vaccine, I will be responsible for my words and deeds."
His words made some lanterns hesitate, but also immediately attracted the rebuttal of many "border lanterns".
"I can vouch for the Guardians. The blue monster is real and there is no problem with the vaccine. I have tried it myself."
"I have also tried it. Vaccines are not completed in one day. The guardians were busy for several days and tested hundreds of samples before finally selecting the 'Blue Yamozo Immunizer' which has the best effect and the lowest side effects.
"
The Border Lantern has personally participated in the Guardian's experiments, and each of his personal accounts is very convincing.
The lantern who hesitated before looked down at the test tube in his hand again.
"Kyle, the medicine should be fine. I've used it on animals." Dr. Natu also said.
"I personally supervise the production of the vaccine. If you have any doubts, you can look at me!" the octopus tentacle lantern of the biology department shouted angrily, rolled up his sleeves, and injected the medicine into his body.
"Look, am I dead?" He flew to Kyle, turned around and shouted excitedly.
"The Legion Commander was confused by the Earth Lantern, alas"
A lantern in the square shook his head and took the initiative to inject himself with the vaccine.
He's not the only one.
Some people were muttering and talking strange things to their companions in a low voice while taking potions.
Someone took this as a farce and gave himself a tube with a worried look.
Some people were at a loss and just drank the potion when they saw everyone was using it.
"Hey, listen to Kyle, the delay will be a few hours at most. If we are wrong, no one will lose, but if we are right," Sarak got angry, but there was nothing he could do.
"Natu, what are you doing?!"
Kyle saw that Natu was also about to sigh, so he quickly flew over and angrily grabbed the test tube, threw it on the ground and crushed it.
"I am as suspicious of the Guardians as you are, and I am willing to join you in accusing the Guardians, but I am still a doctor, and I believe in my professional ability and professionalism. Please respect me and trust me," Natu said angrily.
.
"But why don't you believe me? How much time will it take just to go to Earth to find Luther or someone else to test the potion?" Kyle said excitedly.
Natu pointed at the people around him, his voice was louder than him, and he was still aggrieved, "Look, look, they have all used the vaccine, what's the problem?
Gordon and the others even tried the medicine themselves as volunteers a few days ago, aren't they fine now?
You ask me why I don’t trust you, but I also want to ask you, why don’t you trust us?”
Kyle opened his mouth. There was a lot of emotions and words in his chest that he could not vent out.
John came over and whispered: "Your father, Sinestro, is suspected of being murdered by the Guardians. Do you believe that he killed his father's enemy?"
The excitement on Natu's red face froze, and he began to hold back emotions in his heart that he could not vent.
"Ninety-nine percent of the Lanterns have finished taking the vaccine now, which is good." Gunther said calmly.
"What, ninety-nine percent of them have been taken?" Kyle quickly looked around. Except for the group of old lanterns who "plotted to rebel", everyone else had taken the vaccine and looked at them, "You--"
At this moment, he felt more uneasy than before.
Beads of sweat were clearly visible on his forehead.
The sense of crisis in his spiritual sense urged him to yell, then run away with his legs.
"I think the way they look at us is very strange, very penetrating." The pig-headed man Kilowog shrank his neck and whispered.
"Why don't you take the medicine?" they suddenly asked in unison.
"Why question the guardian?" They stepped forward together.
"Why don't you join us?" Their voices became eerie and monotonous.
"them--"
Dr. Natu's pupils contracted, his hands and feet trembled, and his uneasiness was as real and heavy as a nine-month-old fetus in a pregnant woman's belly.
"Shit, they are turning blue, and the potion is indeed poisonous! The blue submazola is a scam, directed and acted by the guardians themselves, and they also blame us earthlings." Guy Gardner yelled in shock and anger.
"——" More than nine thousand lanterns stopped talking because their upper and lower lips grew together and they had no mouths.
Their muscles are like the plasticine in a child's hand, squirming and deforming irregularly. Regardless of the race of the alien lanterns, they all turn into blue skin. No, no skin, the blue muscles are exposed, and the palms and soles of the feet become deformed.
Form sharp claws.
"Hey! Run!" Kyle shouted in horror.
"Can you run away?"
The guardians had already formed a circle, and together with more than 9,000 alienated blue monsters, they surrounded a mere 34 old Green Lanterns.
