Chapter 126 Kryptonian? Are You Talking About Me? (4k)
"The spaceship crashed on the earth, and the purple-skinned alien was dying.
This should be Abin Su. "
David waved his hand, and the gravity field was like a big hand grabbing the escape capsule smoothly from the sea water to the beach.
He glanced at the ring on his finger.
"I just don't know who got the Green Lantern ring, Clark or me, that should have belonged to Hal Jordan."
"Hey, how are you doing?"
After seeing the alien stunned for a moment, Clark hurriedly opened the transparent hatch of the rescue capsule and pressed Abin Su's chest to stop his bleeding.
"Don't die, I'll take you to the hospital right away."
Although he knew there was little hope, maybe this alien with purple blood had a body structure similar to that of a human.
"No." Abin Su shook his head weakly, trying to complete the last duty of a lantern.
"Cough...cough, my name is Abin Su, and I am the guardian of sector 2814 of the Green Lantern Corps universe."
The power of fear was eroding his body, and he couldn't hold on for long.
"Stop talking. Now you should conserve your strength. You can reach the nearest hospital in five seconds."
Listening to the horrifying sight of him coughing out blood while talking, Clark wanted to pick up Abin Su and rush to the nearest neighborhood hospital.
"Let him speak, Clark."
David held his shoulders to stop him from moving and shook his head.
"The medical facilities on Earth cannot save him."
As one of the most advanced technological creations in the universe, the light ring itself has the ability to heal. If it can be cured well, it will not start the process of selecting a successor.
There was nothing he could do about the life of this honest and upright lantern.
"Even the Dionysian factor might not help."
David's eyes glanced at the power of fear on Abin Su's horrific injuries, like maggots on the tarsal bones.
"I don't have much time."
Abin Su nodded with difficulty.
Clark looked complicated.
A living alien, although it seemed impossible to be of the same race as him, was the only alien visitor he had ever seen like himself, but he had just met and the other alien was about to die.
"According to the Legion's code, I...I will choose the successor of the Lantern Ring before I die.
This time is a bit special, as it also comes with the light ring of Fantala, a comrade in sector 2811. "
Abin Su looked at Clark first and then at David.
David understood that the ring on Clark's hand should belong to Abin Su, which was consistent with his guess.
"As the Son of Tomorrow, Clark was approached by the Lantern Ring more than once in the comics. Even when Abin Su was about to die in the beginning, the first 'strong will' that the Lantern Ring found was Clark.
But because of his Kryptonian identity, Abin Sue had to find someone else, and he found Hal Jordan. "
I don’t know what the outcome will be this time.
David's eyes brightened slightly, and he suddenly thought that each member of the Green Lantern Corps has extraordinary abilities and plays an important role in the universe, and may provide him with more emotional points than Atlantis.
"It's special not only to decide the successors of the two lamp rings, but also your identity, Kryptonian and powerful unknown race."
The selection process for the light ring actually selected two aliens on this planet full of billions of native life forms. Abin Su didn't know what to say.
"Kryptonian? Are you talking about me?"
Clark pointed at himself, a little surprised.
Nearly twenty years have passed, will he finally have a chance to learn about his life experience?
But what is going on with my brother’s unknown powerful race?
"I'm from Earth."
Shaking his head slightly, David knew that it must be the Eternals mutant physique that caused Abin Su to misunderstand.
The other templates are all from Earth, only the Thanos template is different.
"The ring has chosen you, put it on... put on the ring, point it at the lantern, and recite the oath. You will become a member of the Green Lantern Corps, shouldering great honor and responsibility..."
Abin Su didn't have time to judge whether the two were suitable. It seemed that the two were not greedy and vicious people. Seeing the alien owner of a high-tech spaceship dying, he had no other ideas.
One of them was still trying to save him.
He pointed tremblingly at the lantern charging the light ring under the seat of the rescue capsule.
"The universe needs you. My last duty as a Lantern has been completed. I hope... I hope the universe can survive this crisis."
Krypton has had a long and unhappy history with the Green Lantern Corps, almost animosity.
It is not allowed to select Kryptonians to become Lanterns. Although it is not written into any article of the Legion Code, it is an unwritten rule.
However, at this time of crisis in the universe, Abin Su felt that he could break the rules at rare times.
"The universe needs a more powerful lantern to protect..."
After reciting the last sentence silently in his heart, Abin Su, known as one of the greatest lanterns, closed his eyes and passed away.
"Legion members, hope that the universe will survive the crisis?"
Clark was at a loss for what to do as he looked at the corpse in front of him.
He instinctively resists joining any legion, but why does it sound like the universe is in danger?
He saw David, hoping to get some answers from his brother.
Although David shouldn't know anything about aliens, his brother left him with the impression that there were few things he didn't know.
"The Green Lantern Corps, a corps led by the Guardian of the Universe that claims to maintain the order of the universe and uses the power of will as its weapon..."
David briefly introduced the Green Lantern Corps.
As for the so-called cosmic crisis, it should refer to the Parallax Monster.
"Sounds like a respectable vigilante group led by a selfless man?"
Hearing Clark's words, David smiled contemptuously.
…
"The day is bright and the night is vast. There is no way for demons and monsters to hide. The heretics and chaos are afraid of my divine light. The green light will always shine, shining for all ages."
"Is this okay?"
The ring conveyed the message of the oath. In the attic of the farm, Clark, following David, hesitantly pointed the ring at the green light and took the oath.
After a burst of green light, the light ring function was officially unlocked.
A suit woven by the power of will covered Clark's body.
"It feels bad."
Clark felt uncomfortable looking at the slightly green glowing suit on his body. He hated the color green.
Clark didn't have much intention to join the Cosmic Legion and stay away from his family and the planet under his feet to protect the peace of the universe, but the cosmic crisis that Abin Su mentioned before his death had to make him care.
“The Earth is also in the universe.
If something happens to the universe, the earth cannot escape. "
And what he wants to know about his life experience is why he, a baby, was programmed to come to Earth on a spaceship many years ago. What about his family and his tribe?
After the ring was unlocked, a lot of information related to the Lantern Ring flooded into Clark's mind, and he quickly learned about things related to the Green Lantern Corps.
"A Lantern of Kryptonian origin."
On the side, David crossed his arms with a slightly strange expression.
This is probably something that has never happened before in the million-year history of the Green Lantern Corps.
"how so?"
After flipping through the information library contained in the ring, Clark couldn't wait to retrieve some information related to Krypton. His face changed and he looked at his brother in panic.
"I...I am a descendant of a cold-blooded space colonial empire?"
Clark's reaction.
David waved his hand, and the information recorded in the light ring emerged as a screen of light.
Unlike the detailed information about races or forces in the universe, the entry about Krypton is only a short page and a few sentences.
"Krypton, a living planet located in the Andromeda Galaxy in sector 2183 of the universe, no longer exists. As a former colonizer of the universe, the Kryptonians were most prosperous when they still existed. It was a long dark period in the universe. , countless living planets were colonized by it.
The internal system of Kryptonians is ancient and decadent. Their talents are innately limited. How much they can achieve is determined at birth. The ruling class obliterates individuality. Classes cannot be shaken. Every Kryptonian is a cold-blooded and powerful machine..."
David raised his eyebrows knowing why Clark had such a reaction.
Anyone who knows that they are descendants of colonists who have brought a dark history of humiliation to the universe will not feel good.
"My hometown has been destroyed. I am a descendant of a cold-blooded space colonizer...Is this...is this true?"
Clark looked at David, eager for answers.
He couldn't help but think of Ms. Cassandra's prophecy again.
After returning home, David told Clark some things he knew, such as that this planet is not that simple and hides some things and races that are older than human civilization.
He had some contact with the Atlanteans and learned some things that ordinary people didn't know.
As for his conquest of Atlantis and becoming the Lord of the Seven Seas, David felt there was no need to talk more.
"That's half true."
He nodded.
Krypton is indeed the former colonial empire of the universe. At its most powerful, Krypton colonized almost all known planets with life.
The little blue people who claim to maintain the order of the universe are also the group of people who call themselves the Guardians of the Universe, leading the Green Lantern Corps to fight against the Kryptonians.
But one hundred thousand Kryptonians have the power to destroy the universe, and there are more than one hundred thousand Kryptonians on Krypton.
"The Lanterns in the Green Lantern Corps who have experienced hundreds of battles and have been tempered by life and death cannot even defeat an ordinary Kryptonian who has casually basked in the yellow sun."
The Little Blues didn't talk much about the outcome of that battle, but when they opened their mouths, it was the darkest era they had ever experienced, and the result was self-evident.
The Green Lantern Corps, which has always claimed to be responsible for maintaining the order of the universe, did not sacrifice heroically when faced with the evil and powerful enemies that colonized the entire universe. Instead, it formed an alliance with Krypton to "maintain the peace of the universe."
This was also the reason why he couldn't control his laughter when he heard Clark say that before.
"According to the information I know, the Kryptonians are very corrupt internally. The sons of generals are born generals, and the sons of scientists are destined to be scientists.
But he is far from being born cold-blooded. "
David shook his head and said seriously.
"Clark, you are who you are. You don't need to be defined by others. Don't you feel what kind of person you are?"
It is normal for the little blue man to include private information in his own army's internal information.
Those shameless little blue men have double standards and claim to maintain the order of the universe. In fact, many crises that almost destroyed the universe were caused by them.
With David's comfort, Clark felt much better.
As for the fact that Krypton had been destroyed long ago, although it shocked him to a certain extent, the impact was not that great.
He had previously guessed what would cause the baby to take a spaceship to another planet. For so many years, no relatives or tribesmen had come to see him.
Looking up at the direction of the Andromeda Galaxy in the sky, I wonder if his hometown once shone there, but it has disappeared now.
Clark lowered his head, feeling a little lonely.
But then I thought about it, my family is not by my side, the most important thing now is to protect my existing relatives and hometown.
…
"So, you two were selected by a ring from outer space, brought to a dying alien, and selected to join a legion that maintains peace in the universe?"
After breakfast, Jonathan almost spit out his hot black tea while drinking it, with a weird expression on his face.
If he hadn't known how special his two sons were, he would have thought they were talking nonsense.
But even knowing the abilities of his two sons, the alien legions and whatnot, Jonathan couldn't help but let Jonathan put down his tea cup and sit up straight.
"good."
Clark nodded bravely.
"Legion?"
"There will be no danger."
Facing his mother Martha's worried look, David assured him.
He and Clark didn't want to talk to their parents about it.
But the couple saw him and Clark being taken away in a green light package on TV, and they had to explain.
"In fact, the two of us have no intention of joining them."
David suggested not to talk about the cosmic crisis, so as not to worry his parents. Clark hesitated slightly, but also agreed.
"What Abin Su said is very scary, the crisis of the entire universe..."
David shook his head secretly.
Although Parallax Monster, an entity that represents the power of fear, one of the seven forces on the emotional spectrum of the universe, is powerful enough to destroy civilization, it is still a bit alarmist to affect the entire universe.
The so-called cosmic crisis probably refers to the destruction of the Little Blue Man and the Green Lantern Corps and the imbalance of the order of the universe.
"However, it is not certain whether something will happen to the universe. The earth is indeed in danger of coming."
David knew clearly that according to the plot trajectory, Parallax would track the seriously injured Abin Sue to Earth, the legendary Lantern who had defeated it.
Even though Abin Su is no longer worth mentioning after absorbing the life force of two planetary civilizations.
But when it was sealed in the underground of the planet, it accumulated endless hatred for Abin Su. It would not give up until it saw Abin Su die with its own eyes and smashed his body into ashes.
"Mom and Dad, we might have to leave for a while."
Clark hesitated and said: "Go and solve the problem of the legion's identity."
How could Clark sit still when he heard that the universe was facing a crisis? He wanted to go to Oa, the headquarters of the Legion in the Ring of Light, to see what was going on and if he could contribute.
"For the universe and for the earth." He secretly clenched his fists.
David was slightly silent, not knowing how to say that Parallax Monster would soon follow him to Earth.
Suddenly, he sensed something through the gravity field and turned around to look.
A figure with a body structure that was completely different from that of Earthlings, with fins on its head and bare skin, flew towards the farm.
He wore a sleek suit and a green lantern ring on his hand.
"Maybe there's no need...someone is coming."
