"I have personally witnessed the rise and fall of countless civilizations. We Guardians have been endowed with great power, and sometimes, not using that power is the most correct decision."
Ganthet said to Eric with a serious expression, "The humans on Earth have the right to choose their own path, not to have others choose for them. Humans should not be controlled or interfered with by external forces."
"Is that so?"
Eric frowned, looked at Ganthet's slightly serious face, and said, "You said you have personally witnessed the rise and fall of countless civilizations, then—"
Eric was silent for a moment, then asked him, "Did you personally witness the destruction of Krypton?!"
"Everyone says you have infinite wisdom and power, so did you choose on that day not to use your power and watch the people on that planet die?"
Eric asked a question that silenced Ganthet.
Ganthet did not speak, but lowered his head.
It seemed Eric's question directly hit his biggest weakness.
"Ganthet?!"
Hal, standing behind Ganthet, saw that the other party was silenced by Eric, and asked him worriedly, "Are you alright?"
After Hal finished speaking, Eric's cold gaze fixed on Ganthet.
"You actually dare to come see me today and lecture me on what responsibility is? Isn't this the biggest joke in the world!"
He had always had no good impression of such self-proclaimed Guardians who merely interfered with others and imposed their will on them.
"So, in your eyes, the so-called 'guardianship' is just double standards and differential treatment."
Eric said coldly to the other party, "You destroyed Krypton! From the perspective of inaction, you Guardians are even more detestable!"
"No, we didn't destroy it, they destroyed themselves. If Krypton was to be saved, they had to do it themselves. No outsider could help them."
Ganthet explained to Eric.
"No matter what—"
He stared at Eric, adjusted his emotions, took a deep breath, and said, "I will not allow you to rule the people here, Kal from Krypton!"
Eric looked at the strong aura emanating from the other party, red lasers appeared in his eyes, and the accumulated dangerous energy seemed about to shoot towards the other party in the next second.
"Can I take that as a threat to me?!"
Eric asked Ganthet unceremoniously.
Ganthet's body emitted a green glow, and he also released his superpower.
He sensed the danger from the other party.
The atmosphere between the two immediately became tense.
"Ahem, alright guys, you two are both pretty impulsive here. How about we lower this damn superpower now, lest you blow up the entire continent, how about it?!"
Gardner, who had been watching as a spectator, seeing the possibility of a conflict between the two, immediately jumped out and said to them:
"Why don't we go to a bar for a drink? Although it might be a bit difficult for Ganthet to look around the whole bar, I'll bring him a cushion or something so he can see high enough. Don't you agree, Hal Jordan?"
As he spoke, he looked at Hal, who was also watching as a spectator.
Hal was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded.
Eric ignored Gardner's clowning and walked directly towards Ganthet.
His eyes turned crimson, his body exuded a chilling killing intent, and he looked down at Ganthet from above.
"You—get the hell out of Earth!"
"Gulp!"
Hal, standing nearby, nervously swallowed.
He had no doubt that if Ganthet made any dangerous move, Eric's Heat Vision would shoot at Ganthet without hesitation.
Gardner also didn't expect such a development. He stood awkwardly to the side, afraid that the two would accidentally start fighting.
At that time, people like him, who were watching the show, would suffer!
Eric and Ganthet both remained silent, staring at each other.
The atmosphere immediately froze.
Ultimately, Ganthet chose to back down.
He turned around and chose to leave.
"I regret that you have such an attitude. It's clear you've now crossed the line of reason."
He said to Eric as he walked away.
Gardner quickly followed in his footsteps.
Hal was a bit troubled. He looked at the departing Ganthet, then at Eric, wondering whether he should stay or leave with Ganthet.
Fortunately, he didn't have to think too much; Ganthet made the choice for him.
"Come back to Oa with us, Hal Jordan!"
"I—"
Hal looked at Ganthet's back with a troubled expression.
He didn't want to leave Eric's side right now; after all, he felt more of a sense of belonging here.
But Eric didn't make it difficult for him, nodding slightly to him, signaling him to follow Ganthet.
He needed Green Lantern now, so he didn't want him to fall out with the Oa Corps.
"Alright, goodbye, Eric!"
Hal greeted Eric and followed Ganthet's footsteps.
After the three left, Eric retracted his Heat Vision, turned around expressionlessly, and looked at the direction behind him.
"Come out, Kara. I'm sure you've watched enough of the show."
Supergirl Kara, who had been hiding behind the windmill tower, felt a bit awkward as she stepped out.
"Actually, I was just passing by."
Kara explained to Eric.
Seeing Eric's skeptical expression, Kara shrugged helplessly.
"Alright, I admit, I came specifically to see what was happening here, and I didn't expect to see you meeting an alien friend."
Kara said to Eric, "It seems that blue-skinned midget calling himself Ganthet has a good head on his shoulders. He actually has the same idea as me. He also thinks you're controlling all of humanity, and as an alien, he can put on a more righteous facade than I can."
Eric ignored her and asked her directly, "Why did you come to the farm?!"
"Tomorrow is your birthday. Can't I celebrate it with you in advance?"
"We're not that close. And I'm not very interested in birthdays."
Eric walked up to her and said, "If you approach my family again without my permission, I will absolutely not hesitate to show you my violence. Believe me, you won't want to see me like that."
"Mrs. Kent is also my relative. Even if you and I have political differences, I would never do anything to harm Mrs. Kent or Rachel."
Kara said seriously to Eric.
"You'd better do as you say!"
Eric shook his head, preparing to leave.
"Wait!"
Seeing Eric about to leave, Kara called out to him.
"You've been to the North Pole, haven't you?"
"The North Pole?"
Eric's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Yes, I once saw a building made of ice crystals in the North Pole, and I saw your figure inside it, which means you often go there, doesn't it?"
Kara finally asked the question she wanted to ask.
"The spaceship that brought me to Earth also landed in the North Pole, but now I can't find that spaceship. Did you hide it?"
Eric was about to leave, but hearing this, he turned around to face Kara.
"Don't you think it's absurd to blame someone who has been to the same place as you if you lose something?"
"Although it's a bit absurd, the only one I can think of who could open the spaceship without alarming me is you."
