Chapter 125 Welcome to the Green Lantern Corps (4k4)
"Got home."
In the early hours of the morning, the sky became brighter. David slowed down and returned to the top of the town. He looked at the light of the house at home. Through the window, he could see his parents preparing a warm breakfast.
A chuckle appeared on his lips unconsciously.
No matter the paradise island, or the underwater Atlantis, the magnificent palaces could not let him feel true relaxation and leisure.
Even though he is only a quasi-college student in the human world, with the power he now holds, he can build a palace like the Tower of Babel on the earth if he wants.
But that couldn't bring him any happiness, because there was no family among the cold stone pillars.
David was about to leave for landing.
"Intelligent life has been locked, David Kent from Earth, you have a strong will to overcome fear, welcome to join the Green Lantern Corps."
call out!
Suddenly, a green light flew quickly from behind like a green meteor, hovering in front of him, and a mechanical sound came out.
"Is this... a green lantern ring?"
Looking at the ring that glowed green, David raised his eyebrows when he saw the light ring symbol on it.
The light ring traced an arc in a flash and spontaneously slipped onto his finger.
He was not overjoyed to be chosen by the Lantern Ring and obtain the most powerful weapon in the universe. He looked at the ring on his hand with a little novelty, thoughtfully.
"A Green Lantern died near Earth?"
David turned his head to look at the starry sky, and saw another green light speeding past towards the metropolis, and frowned slightly.
After the death of a member of the Green Lantern Corps who protects the order of the universe, the Lantern Ring will start a spontaneous selection process and select a nearby strong-willed creature as the Lantern's successor.
"Two light rings?"
Each ownerless lantern ring that streaks across the sky like a meteor represents the passing of a Green Lantern.
The Lantern Ring is known as the most powerful weapon in the universe. Although its power varies depending on the strength of the Lantern's will, the guaranteed strength of the Lantern with the Lantern Ring is also extraordinary.
"Judging from the current situation, more than two Lanterns died near the Earth. Something unusual happened."
However, according to the plot, shouldn’t the first place the light ring wanders on the earth go to is the beach city where Hal Jordan is?
"Has there ever been a Lantern in Metropolis?"
David looked deeply at the city awakened by the sun, and the Metropolis people who had been selected by the Green Lantern Ring in the comics quickly flashed through his mind.
A familiar figure wearing a red cloak, with arms akimbo and chest puffed out, appeared in his mind.
"Clark?" He raised his eyebrows.
…
"Help me, someone help me."
On the roof of a six-story building, the tower crane erected high up broke, and the main body was connected with broken wires to form an inverted L shape. The operator was so frightened that he cried for his father and cried for his mother. He clung to the railing and staggered at high altitude.
“Live coverage from the Met Center.
An unexplained crane collapse here leaves construction workers trapped inside hanging by a thread, and passers-by shouting the same name. "
The TV host in a suit faced the camera and reported.
"He is - Superman!"
"Jimmy, aim right, Superman will appear soon."
When Louise Wayne heard about the construction accident, she hurried over with her reporter assistant. She saw that life-saving air mattresses had been placed under the construction workers. There was nothing to worry about. Excitement appeared on her face.
"no problem."
Jimmy, who had red hair and a face covered with freckles, smiled and took two photos of the frightened construction workers, planning to compare them with the photos of Superman after he was rescued and publish them together.
"he came!"
"Is it a bird? Or a plane?"
A blue and red figure passed between the tall buildings, jumping so high. A little girl holding a balloon on the roadside asked innocently and doubtfully.
"No, it's Superman."
Mother corrected with a gentle smile.
Since the introduction of Superman, this prosperous city has become much safer. Although he was once targeted and captured by the country's army, fortunately, his enthusiasm as a vigilante to stop crime and help citizens was not dampened.
Kaka!
The wail of steel came from the broken part of the tower crane, and finally it broke completely.
"No! Help!"
The construction workers who were afraid of heights screamed and thought they would fall together with the behemoth weighing dozens of tons and be smashed into a pulp.
Suddenly, the tower crane moved.
He looked with wide eyes, and everyone looked at him.
Under the golden morning light of the rising sun, a tall and strong figure symbolizing hope grabbed the broken metal arm and moved it slowly.
Below the operator is no longer a dizzying tall building, but a roof only a few dozen centimeters away.
"Sir, I can't hold this thing for the rest of my life. Can you go down now?"
After some time passed, Clark's eyesight recovered slightly, looking at the construction worker who was staring at him blankly, and smiled helplessly.
"Sorry, Superman.
It's the first time I've seen you so close, and I'm so excited. "
The slow-moving operator instantly changed from a victim to a fan. He let go of his hand and jumped to the ground in embarrassment. He took a step forward with an excited expression, looking like he was about to get Superman to sign his autograph.
"It doesn't matter.
I hope that a little accident in the early morning will not disturb your beautiful day. "
Gently lowering the broken tower crane, a sunny smile appeared on Clark's face.
Although at times, the enthusiasm for him from some Metropolis citizens made him feel like a hot star and idol, something he didn't quite fit in with.
But that's part of his hope.
“Set an example through personal practice and infect some people, so that more ‘supermen’ can appear in this city.”
Bang!
"You finally showed up, Superman!"
With a sudden punch, Clark flew forward, bending the metal arm of the tower crane. His face seemed to have been hit by an intercontinental missile, and he actually felt slight pain. He frowned.
A middle-aged man with a green light emitting from his eyes and mouth, with a fierce expression, appeared at the door on the roof of the building at an unknown moment, his hands emitting violent radiation.
"Careful, Superman!"
Everyone downstairs exclaimed when they saw this scene.
"It's someone with super powers, and he's attacking Superman!"
"What does he want to do to Superman?!"
Under the dazzling green light, Clark felt a stabbing pain on his body. He stood up uncomfortably, his face turned slightly pale, and he stared at the other person closely.
"The light of the meteorite...appeared on the human body."
Everyone had never seen Superman like this before, and they covered their mouths in worry.
"Superman is injured, what's going on?
Who is he and how can he be more powerful than Superman! "
Jimmy couldn't believe it.
"Could he be Superman's alien cousin just like the Purple Light Man last time?"
Lois Lane frowned, not panicking, exuding the aura of a strong woman, thinking of some military secret rumors she heard from her father.
"A... green light person?"
Bang!
"Why, you're not used to fighting people stronger than you."
With hatred on his face, the man jumped up in front of Superman, punched him, and knocked him upside down again, sarcastically speaking.
“I previously found traces of violent damage on the tower crane.
You did that, to lure me here, who are you? "
After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Clark looked solemnly at the man who looked at him with hatred.
The other person didn't seem to know that the meteorite was his weakness, and only thought it was his super power, but he couldn't remember when he had enmity with this person.
"You do not know who I am?
You ruined my marriage, threw me out of my house, kidnapped my wife, and you don't know who I am? "
The man's rude and ferocious voice, with the remnants of alcohol in his mouth, struck with a fierce punch, causing Clark, who raised his arms to resist, to keep retreating.
"Wait a minute, I remembered.
You're Clay Ramsey, what happened to you? "
After blocking the opponent's attack with some difficulty, Clark finally remembered who the person in front of him was. When he met him half a month ago, he was just a rude, down-and-out, alcoholic painter, and did not have this kind of ability.
He clearly made a wish to make all meteorites disappear.
"God gave me the ability to take revenge on you. You took away my family and my wife!"
Ramsay laughed ferociously and punched Clark away.
Just when he had no money to buy wine and had to find some work, painting a fluorescent paint for a wealthy family's villa, he accidentally knocked over the paint bucket on the shelf, drank it into his mouth, and gained a wonderful fortune. current capabilities.
Clark's back hit the wall, causing cracks like spider webs. He looked unhappy and shouted angrily.
“Take your wife away?
You are referring to your wife who has been subjected to domestic violence by you for several years while drunk, but who dares to be angry but dare not speak out! "
"You are a coward who only dares to vent to women. I transferred her to a women's shelter. Don't even think about disturbing her life anymore."
Clark punched Ramsey, flying dozens of meters away and hitting the billboard of another high-rise building. He was filled with righteous indignation and stepped forward to subdue the man.
Although the opponent somehow acquired a powerful body and the ability to emit meteorite radiation, the opponent's radiation could not keep up with a small piece of pure meteorite.
He still has the power to teach this guy a lesson.
call out!
At this moment, a light ring emitting green light flew over at great speed.
Seeing the familiar green light, it looked like a ring made of green meteorite.
The weak Clark dodged past, not expecting the thing to fly towards him again. He hurriedly grabbed a piece of broken wood nearby and knocked the ring away like a cricket ball.
The ring flew to the sky, flew thousands of meters in the blink of an eye, and was firmly grasped by a flying figure.
Buzz!
Before Clark could take a breath, a green light shock ray as thick as a bucket hit him in the next second. He felt like he was hit by a large truck and flew backwards, collapsing the wall and bleeding from the corner of his mouth.
Among the ruins of the broken billboard, Ramsay overturned a broken billboard. He stood up in embarrassment, looking at his enemy who was knocked away and seriously injured, and laughed proudly.
"What, you son of a bitch, didn't you expect this move?"
"The next step will be very painful."
Ramsay gathered green energy in his hands and was about to cross the building and deliver another blow to the weak and injured Clark at close range.
"what did you just say?"
A shadow cast down and enveloped him from the sky, and an icy sound like a cold wind blowing from an iceberg that had never melted reached his ears.
Ramsay looked up and saw a figure standing in the air, looking down, with indifference written on his face.
For some reason, he suddenly felt panicked and trembled inexplicably, like a weak animal being targeted by a ferocious prehistoric predator. In anger, he fired shock waves with his hands again.
"You think this ridiculous attack will work on me?"
The shock wave hit David like harmless dance floor light, and he stretched out his hand expressionlessly.
Under the strong force, Ramsay's body was lifted uncontrollably and his limbs were straightened, making him feel like a defenseless white rat on the dissecting table.
"Help, I'm about to be torn apart!"
His body was almost torn apart by the terrible force, and he screamed in horror as he was in excruciating pain.
"Let...let me go!"
"Scum like you must have never cared about the beauty of space above you."
David knew what kind of person Ramsay was as soon as he saw him. He was rude, savage and stupid, like a Shar-Pei who knew how to eat and sleep, but only dared to bark at those who were weak to him.
"Before you die, I'll let you appreciate it."
He stretched out his hand.
Ramsey was like a fired cannonball, garbage thrown out by the earth's gravity field, reaching an altitude of tens of thousands of meters in the blink of an eye.
"Uh... uh..."
As he was being accelerated continuously, he couldn't breathe, and his lungs seemed to be tightly grasped by big hands. He deeply felt the pain of suffocation. With his eyes widened in fear, he could only see the bright and dazzling sun getting bigger and bigger.
Finally, he entered the dead and cold space. His powerful body made him deeply feel the pain of boiling body fluids due to the sudden drop in air pressure. The last few painful seconds passed and the extreme cold enveloped him.
Ramsey's painful and twisted expression froze on his face, turning into an ice sculpture corpse floating in space.
"Dai...Zi Guangren, where did you send him?"
Seeing his younger brother appear, Clark stood up holding his painful chest. He looked at his younger brother flying in mid-air with shock in his eyes. He called his younger brother's name halfway before changing the title.
Although he has regained some vision, he is still unable to see through and see very far as before.
"The peaceful paradise."
"All right……"
Clark hesitated to speak, gradually getting used to his younger brother's style. Especially when he heard that Ramsay's foul language just now involved his mother, he was not too surprised by his end.
"Why are you flying?
My ribs seemed broken. "
There was still severe pain in his chest. Clark wanted to go closer and say a few words to his brother, but it was a bit difficult to walk.
"Although Ramsay's energy radiation is not that strong, it seems to penetrate deep into my flesh and cells, like a stubborn stain."
He looked at the sun for a while but it didn't relieve his pain.
"This can help you."
David controlled gravity, and the green lantern ring slowly flew over.
See the familiar green light.
Clark was instinctively afraid, but thinking that his brother would not harm him, he took it hesitantly.
"Intelligent life has been locked, Clark Kent from Earth, you have a strong will to overcome fear, welcome to join the Green Lantern Corps."
Approaching the chosen successor, Lantern Ring finally began to speak the words to inform the chosen successor.
"It spoke?
This... what is this? "
The ring automatically slipped on his finger. Clark panicked and looked at David in shock.
"Proof of membership in a Legion."
Seeing that Clark was indeed chosen by another light ring, David looked into the distance, no longer resisting the power of the ring, and allowed a green light shield to wrap him up and float into the distance.
"It seems that the owner of the lamp ring is not dead yet. Is the selection process initiated when he is about to die?"
"Legion member?"
Clark saw that David did not resist that force, and seemed to let it take him wherever he went, so he did the same, but unlike David who knew what was going to happen, he was full of doubts and wanted to ask his brother.
"Lethal radiation targeting your species has been detected in the body and has been removed for you."
A green light of energy swept through his body. Clark's body lightened up and he felt refreshed again. He looked at the ring.
"I don't know what it is, but it seems pretty good."
The two of them were taken away by the green light energy shield and flew towards the sky at high speed, leaving behind a series of overwhelming turns and changes that left everyone in a daze, wondering what was going on.
"Ahem...the chosen will has come."
At the dock in the early morning, the cold sea breeze blew by.
In a damaged escape capsule on the seaside, Abin Su, who was weak and dying, looked up into the sky. He was somewhat thankful that after landing on this backward planet, he finally managed to hold on until the chosen one was brought.
Two young figures landed on the beach, but things seemed to be somewhat different from what he thought.
A message came from the light ring, and Abin Su was startled. He looked at Clark and then at David.
"A living Kryptonian, and... an equally powerful life form of an unknown race in the universe?"
I still don’t engage in anti-theft measures. It feels very troublesome and makes book friends uncomfortable.
