Hal really did not expect that his selves in other universes would be in this situation, or he simply couldn't believe that his other selves would be so idealistic.
First of all, and most importantly, for Green Lanterns, green lantern energy is the lifeblood. Even if most Green Lanterns don’t have the means to crack the energy extraction technology of the little blue man, why don’t they think about how to be as independent as possible from others?
?
As a result, most Green Lanterns just flew back to headquarters to replenish their energy.
This seemed a bit unbelievable to Hal, just like a somewhat absurd situation he encountered when he was in Mexico - they had food and trucks to transport food, but they had no gas.
Oliver led them to fight dozens of battles for gasoline before they obtained the hardest common currency in America, oil used to drive cars.
This is the most important resource for building a grain distribution network. Without oil, nothing can move. The grain on one side rots in the warehouse, and the people on the other side starve to death at home.
In Hal's view, the green light energy is comparable to the oil in the universe, or even more comprehensive and important than oil. However, in other universes, they have worked conscientiously in this position for so many years, and in the end they are still working at a gas station.
They naively believe that the boss behind the gas station will really use the oil for free and selflessly pour it into the trucks carrying food to save the hungry people.
Hal could not comment on this.
It is not really a secret that Green Lantern energy is not really used to maintain peace in the universe, because before the Green Lanterns of Earth appeared, the Earth was not within the scope of protection, and all Green Lanterns knew this more or less.
But they still haven't taken any measures, not even to protect themselves. They have to admit that this level of self-control can indeed be called noble. Apart from being useless, it also deserves to be evaluated as kind.
It's just that Hal sees one head and two heads.
There is no problem with the oath, but the problem is that the first person to betray the oath is the creator of the oath. The purpose of creating the Green Lantern Corps was impure. Now a fool has been fooled. How could these people let go of such a good opportunity?
Hal didn't need to listen to any Green Lanterns to know that if the vast majority of the universe continued like this, the Earth would definitely suffer in return, because persimmons are always picky. These Green Lanterns are controlled by the lamp furnace and have no countermeasures.
The softest persimmon?
If his universe can really be independent of all universes, Hal is not that philanthropic, because people can teach people what they don't understand, but they can be taught once.
But the most terrifying thing is that the connections between the multiverses are very close, and they can even visit each other in some ways. Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. A disaster in one universe is likely to spread to many universes.
At that time, it is useless to just figure out your own three-thirds of an acre of land. If you don't deal with these walking time bombs, sooner or later you will be blown up and paralyzed.
The moment he thought about these issues, Hal felt like he was suffering from an anxiety disorder.
It’s not that he doesn’t like to use his brain and shirk responsibility, but in this situation, who doesn’t go to the West to invite Buddha Schiller?
Hal wrote a huge email, and after reading the first two lines, Greedy wanted to prescribe him medicine.
No, there just happened to be an Iron Man and a Green Lantern. How could I encounter such two incompetent psychiatrists in my average career as a psychiatrist?
After taking a look at Arrogance, who was still in a daze, he sighed greedily and resigned himself to his fate, and read the huge email.
There is not a lot of effective information in it, and most of them are scolding themselves in other universes, and imagining the terrible disasters that may come.
After eliminating most of the useless nonsense, Schiller almost understood Hal's appeal.
Again, it is difficult for a superhero high in the sky to give up the idealism he has adhered to for half his life. Hal does not have the ability to push everyone into the fields in Mexico, so he does not count on them.
Wake up overnight.
But Hal feels that there are still some people in the Green Lantern group who can win over. In addition to the many stupid and naive Hal Jordans, there are also other veteran ones.
After preliminary contact, Hal learned that in some universes, Hal Jordan was not the first Green Lantern on Earth. Before that, there were three seniors who joined the Green Lantern Corps.
Among them, a man named Guy Gardner is the leader of the Green Lantern Honor Guard personally appointed by the Guardian of the Universe. He seems to be a powerful agent, but he does not seem to have the calm personality of the man named John Stewart and the man named Kyle Ray.
Although Na was a little confused, Hal felt that he was an Ion Man like himself, not bound by the Green Lantern, and that he had some secrets that could not be seen through.
Joining the Green Lantern Honor Guard can be said to be the highest honor for all Green Lanterns. From the three seniors with this title, Hal can see that the highest honor is worthy of the name. There are no ordinary people among them.
And because of their close contact with the Guardians of the Universe, they seem to have different views on these little blue men. Moreover, they are very cautious, and their use of green light energy is exquisite, making them potential partners to win over.
Hal has heard of their names in his own universe, but most of these senior lanterns are stationed in some dangerous sectors. They will not show up without disasters that endanger the universe. The time Hal entered the center of power does not count.
It was very long, so it was also the first time for Hal to meet them.
And what Hal didn't want to say was Green Lantern Sinestro, who caused a huge chaos as soon as he appeared.
The Sinestro of a certain universe was still a Green Lantern, and for some reason he was regarded as the Green Lantern of Earth and was thrust into their team, causing them to fight just now.
It was Alan Scott, Hal's long-time idol, who took action to calm the chaos, which made Hal think that this old-timer was also a worthy target.
Hal did his best in a short period of time to identify several teammates who might be useful, but he still had no idea how to make them realize the seriousness of the problem, so he had to ask Schiller for help.
After reading Hal's words, Greedy realized a problem, that is, DC superheroes are really serious.
The Green Lanterns are really serious about being Green Lanterns. They get the power of the Green Lantern, put on the ring, and play superheroes, as if this is a road with no forks and they can only go all the way to the dark side.
But if you suddenly break out of this framework like Hal in the Schiller universe, you will find that you are the normal one, and these people who are addicted to role-playing are the crazy ones.
What gives them superhero status is energy, which is equivalent to money giving privileges to rich people.
Then normal people will always think about how to make money, rather than making more contributions to the company with a dead salary, especially when the company is neither formal nor reliable.
However, the Green Lanterns are like a group of hard-working wage earners who sacrifice everything for their bosses. Greed really makes me wonder if this Green Lantern energy has some brainwashing function.
That’s money! Money that’s so close at hand!!!
If you want to say that this money really exists in the national treasury and has made a great contribution to all sentient beings in the universe, then you may have to go through a little moral struggle before you can do it.
But in fact, the Guardian of the Universe is just a private boss, and it is not the kind of large company that can achieve a balance of power and responsibilities and supervise each other. It is more like a small workshop that depends on what others do.
And it’s not just his behavior that seems unreliable, but his record of misdeeds, and nothing he does is reliable.
If you don’t make this money, aren’t you sick?!
But Greed also knows very well that Hal is right, it is impossible to awaken these superheroes who are too deeply involved in the drama overnight.
But his view is different from Hal's. Although it is indeed difficult for them to suddenly awaken and share the same hatred, sometimes it is not necessary to have a spiritual awakening to make meaningful actions. One way is to understand things with emotion and act with reason, but
Schiller still prefers coercion, inducement, and deception.
He thought for a while and started typing line after line on the reply email. He stopped to think about it from time to time, and then continued writing. Soon he wrote a large article with great enthusiasm and sent it.
Hal sat on the roof and looked at the plan sent to him by Greed. To be honest, he was not surprised at all, because the main purpose of this plan was to sell green light energy.
Although it is tacky and cliche, Hal has to admit that this is indeed useful, because there are too many Green Lanterns who cannot get energy replenishment in the fighting world, and taking advantage of others' danger is always the best way to make a fortune.
Using your own surplus Green Lantern energy to win the support of other Green Lanterns is indeed the best way at the moment. Although it is a bit close to kidnapping, the situation is special and you can't control that much.
But the main problem is that in the plan Schiller gave him, selling energy was not a moral slump - Schiller asked him to poison the energy he sold, and then sell the antidote again.
When Hal saw this, he already didn't want to read anymore. It wasn't that he thought this plan wouldn't work, but it was mainly because his moral bottom line didn't support him to continue reading.
But the greedy planning style has always been like this. As long as you can break through the moral bottom line and read on, you will find that this is very feasible.
The so-called poisoning sounds incredible, but it is really possible, because for Green Lantern, the most powerful poison is actually yellow light energy.
It just so happens that Hal also controls a parallax monster. Elsa calls him Uncle Jordan, and he likes to eat Jordan's secret grilled fish the most.
Parallax's power comes from fear, and her father is now surrounded by countless sources of fear.
Therefore, as long as Bruce and his daughter can be contacted, this poisoning plan is extremely feasible. Even if it is more ruthless, it is not impossible to wipe out all the Green Lanterns.
Other Green Lanterns or Ion Man may be able to save one or two people, but among all the Green Lanterns present, only Hal has enough Green Lantern energy to save everyone, which will easily make him the leader of all Green Lanterns.
.
Once he gets the leadership power, Hal will have a way to secure this position, and then establishing a multiverse Green Lantern Alliance is no longer a luxury. After that, even with a little bit of hard work, he will definitely be able to organize a group of awakened people.
But for the sake of his own power, the last person to kill the Green Lanterns was Sinestro, the most evil Green Lantern Corps traitor.
And Hal vaguely felt that if he took action, he would do better than Sinestro, which might also mean that he could gain greater power than Sinestro.
Hal closed the chat interface, took a deep breath, and looked towards the endless desert in the distance.
For the sake of peace in the universe, he must really clean this room.
