Half an hour later.
Richard put away the video camera, satisfied.
The others also felt a sense of lingering reluctance.
Only Batman's expression remained unchanged, though the aura around him was terrifyingly gloomy.
"My questions are over. Now, how about we take a big group photo?"
Richard made his final request.
The superheroes nodded in agreement.
However, this group photo was not quite what they had imagined.
"Flash, lie here. Zatanna, hold this blood pack. Superman, please let me step on you. Batman, come over here to me…"
The final photo showed Richard with a sinister grin, choking Batman and holding him in the air, with his foot on Superman, and the surrounding superheroes lying dead everywhere.
The Demon King Carnage the Justice League.
"Batman, I'll give you a free piece of information: your adopted son isn't dead."
Batman's pupils constricted. Just as he was about to ask something else, he found himself back on Earth, and Richard had already vanished.
—
Arriving in the sky, just as Richard was about to leave Earth, a sense of being watched swept past him from ahead, moving downwards.
His eyes deepened.
His gaze pierced through time, going back to the past, and he saw the observer.
Doctor Fate.
He dispersed this fate.
"Don't look around carelessly in the future. The more you see, the faster you die."
Richard took out his exclusive battleship, then took out this World's mother box and entered the coordinates for OA Star.
Why research when you can just snatch it faster?
—
OA Star.
This was a massive Planet continuously spewing out green energy. At the Planet's center was the main power battery for all Green Lanterns in the entire Universe, an enormous Green Lantern furnace.
In the sky.
A boom tube opened.
A patrolling Fishman Green Lantern saw the portal and flew towards it.
"This is OA Star. Entry without prior authorization is prohibited."
"Are you telling me to leave?"
A tall figure slowly emerged.
A three-meter-tall gray giant with red flames burning in his eyes.
"Darkseid!"
The Fishman recognized the person instantly and sounded the alarm.
He deeply understood the terror and power of the person before him and dared not show the slightest negligence. He raised the Green Lantern Ring in his hand, aimed it at Darkseid, and a dazzling green beam of light shot out fiercely.
Omega Beam!
The red ray defeated the green ray and struck his Ring.
Bang!
The Green Lantern Ring directly shattered into pieces.
The Fishman Green Lantern uncontrollably fell from the sky.
But he was saved by other arriving Green Lanterns.
More green light began to shine from various corners of OA Star, streaking across the sky like meteors, rapidly converging towards this location.
In a Flash,
Darkseid was surrounded by over a thousand Green Lanterns. (The movie said there were 3600, but that was when they gathered. I feel this number is already a lot.)
"Darkseid, this is not your territory. Leave here."
Sinestro, who was leading them, warned coldly.
The Green Lantern Ring in his hand glowed with dazzling light.
Darkseid stood with his hands behind his back.
"What if I say no?"
All the Green Lanterns present gritted their teeth. Even with Darkseid's notorious reputation in the Universe, how could so many Green Lanterns possibly lose?
One by one, their Rings glowed with green light, dyeing everything around them green.
"Attack!"
Countless constructs were materialized by the Green Lanterns.
From large cosmic battleships and meteors to small bullets and swords…
For a moment, the entire sky above OA Star was filled with these constructs, like a surging torrent, violently rushing towards Darkseid's location.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
Only a series of deafening roars could be heard, as if they were tearing the entire Planet apart. The area where Darkseid stood continuously erupted with Earth-shattering explosions, with flames soaring into the sky and smoke billowing.
Such a fierce attack continued for a long time before finally gradually subsiding.
Some Green Lanterns had already been forced to de-materialize their constructs due to excessive energy consumption.
In their view, no one could survive such a powerful and numerous combined attack from the Green Lanterns.
However, those experienced Green Lanterns did not relax their guard because of this.
They did not believe Darkseid had come to his Death.
Either he was completely unafraid of these attacks.
Or he possessed some means of escape.
Compared to the former, they were more willing to believe the latter.
The dust began to slowly dissipate. Through the gradually thinning smoke, a tall figure could be vaguely seen, appearing and disappearing.
The Green Lanterns nervously swallowed their saliva, no way!
The figure gradually became clear—it was Darkseid!
He slowly opened his eyes, revealing a ferocious and terrifying smile.
"Tell me, do you feel fear?"
All the Green Lanterns present couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.
How could it be? Not a single scratch!
Could they truly defeat such an opponent?
The Green Lanterns began to doubt themselves, and the light from the Green Lantern Rings in their hands began to dim.
Sinestro knew that if this continued, the Green Lantern Corps would be weakened by more than half even without Darkseid's intervention.
He raised his Green Lantern Ring, and a pillar of green light shot up into the sky.
He recited the Green Lantern Corps oath.
[In brightest day, in blackest night,]
[No evil shall escape my sight.]
[Let those who worship evil's might,]
[Beware my power, Green Lantern's light!]
The other Green Lanterns also snapped out of it, similarly raising their Rings and beginning to recite the oath. Their wills became even firmer, and the green light in their hands became even more dazzling.
Darkseid quietly listened to these constantly repeated oaths. In his cold and ruthless eyes, a rare and unmistakable hint of speechlessness flickered.
Omega Beam!
The next moment, the Omega Beam suddenly shot out from his eyes! These two rays, like lightning, constantly refracted and twisted in a strange way in the air, accurately rushing towards the Green Lantern Rings.
Crack—
Accompanied by crisp, loud sounds, one Green Lantern Ring after another instantly shattered and disintegrated into specks of green light, dissipating into the air before the powerful destructive force of the Omega Beam.
The Green Lanterns, stripped of their Green Lantern Ring protection, plummeted straight down from high in the sky like kites with broken strings.
Some fell onto buildings, while others directly crashed onto the ground.
In a Flash.
Only Darkseid and Sinestro remained in the sky.
Sweat continuously dripped down Sinestro's face. He gritted his teeth, trying to remain calm, but the flickering green light on his finger betrayed his current emotions.
Darkseid slowly flew forward with an expressionless face.
Facing the gradually approaching Darkseid, Sinestro stiffened completely, unable to move even a single finger.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the entire World fell into a dead silence.
He only let out a breath when Darkseid flew past him.
He then felt ashamed of this emotion. As a Green Lantern, how could he fear Death?
"Why didn't you kill us?"
Although the Green Lanterns' Green Lantern Rings were destroyed, their bodies had also been modified, so they wouldn't die from falling from such a height.
