Chapter 567 33 If Something Can Affect the Outcome, Then It Must Be Held Firmly in the Hands of One’s Own People!

Chapter 567 33. If something can affect the outcome, then it must be held tightly in one's own hands!

Mason triggered the "Black Lantern Ring Global Defense System" when he first entered the Lord's World, and that experience was still fresh in Mason's memory.

Especially when the Red Queen came to disrupt the situation, she was noticed by the Black Lantern Corps and accidentally assisted, indirectly creating an opportunity for the then-weak Captain to defeat the enemy.

It was a very exciting experience, and it also gave Mason an intuitive understanding of the power of the fully released Black Lantern Ring.

Although the Black Lantern Ring in this world was controlled and suppressed by John Stewart, the original Green Lantern, and was not as powerful as the legendary "Black Lantern Night", in terms of destructive power and energy level, this thing is undoubtedly above the root power of the Black of Decay.

It is understandable that no matter how powerful the Black of Decay is, it can only work on the earth, while the Black Lantern Ring can cover the entire galaxy and even the universe after being fully released.

The two are not things of the same level.

This is also the reason why Mason did not come to explore the secrets of the Black Lanterns immediately after the war in the Lord's World ended. He felt that these forces that tend to be dark would always make strange rules. It would undoubtedly take a lot of time to find the source, and what they need most now is time.

However, now that the Lord's World has actually joined the Resistance Alliance, the forces they have placed here to protect the world can also be used by Mason.

Although it was Uncle Tun's tough request that disrupted Mason's plan, he could also take the opportunity to satisfy his curiosity about the Black Lantern Corps.

Is this situation called killing two birds with one stone? Or killing two birds with one stone?

"It's called a base, but it's actually the ruins of Seaside City."

In the landing future-tech Batfighter, Damian pointed to the dark and cold city ruins below and explained to Mason:

"I've seen the records of the war by the Lords of Justice in the Batcave. This city was one of the first places destroyed when the Conquerors invaded. The entire city was blown to pieces by Vulcan and Storm.

There were countless casualties inside, and even Hal Jordan, the greatest Green Lantern in the world, fell here.

It is said that before his death, that guy transformed into the Lord of Fear Parallax through a series of operations to break the invasion. He sacrificed himself and finally flew to the sun.

It's hard to say whether John Stewart was "inspired" by his predecessors when he summoned the Dark Lantern Ring in a critical situation, but there is no doubt that the Lanterns in this world are all real tough guys!

I will be in awe of their choices after reading those stories.

But I can't go down with you. The city has been completely covered by the power of the Black Lantern Ring. The heroes and clones who died in the years of war have become guards to protect the Lord of the Black Lantern. Any life that enters without permission will trigger Their counterattack.

Even the Lords of Justice would not come here if they had nothing to do. "

"I didn't expect to take you, a little burden, down with me."

Mason held the purple-light-emitting fish tank in one hand, flicked his fingers and took out the pendant made of the time gem and put it in his hand. He jumped down from the open hatch and said to Damian through the team communication:

"You just wait here. This situation is obviously not the time for you to participate. Ms. Janet will come with a portable quantum tunnel device in a while. You help her set up the device here. "

"Are you so sure that you Can you convince the Lord of the Black Lantern to give up his power? "

Damian retorted:

"I am not an ordinary villain, and I can't even be called a villain. Even after embracing the quiet death, I am still protecting the world.

Such a strong will will definitely not be persuaded by a few words. "

"I have my own way. "

Mason did not explain. After landing, he walked into the ruined city in front of him, which was shrouded in a darker night than the night. The land here was stained with "black", just like the "black mud" all over the world is the embodiment of the death power of the Black Lantern Ring.

The captain carefully avoided these dangerous areas so as not to alarm the dead.

Through the keen Isu senses of energy perception, he locked the source of all the scattered power in the city, and that must be where the Black Death Emperor is.

Speaking of the Black Death Emperor.

This guy should be the incarnation of the power of death in the universe. Unlike the Black of Decay, it has its own will and is stubborn in destroying all life in the universe so that the noisy stars can return to the "beautiful" silent era.

This kind of guy who has his own purpose and power is often the most difficult to deal with.

Mason couldn't guess how the Green Lantern Stewart in this world dealt with the Black Death Emperor and made him obey the duty of protection, but it can be imagined that it was definitely not a pleasant process.

"Something has awakened!"

This thought came to Mason's mind. He saw a flash of the scene in front of his eyes, and he saw himself being pulled into the exploding death mud, so he immediately stopped and activated the time gem in his hand.

Almost at the same time when the green fluorescence wrapped around his left arm, the quiet black area around him suddenly erupted and shook.

The rolling death mud howled and turned into dead heroes to surround Mason. The mud filled with death power erupted into a fountain to eat up the living person who broke into the kingdom of death.

But the next moment, the green light on Mason's arm exploded, locking the time flowing nearby. The exploding death mud and the hideous dead that rushed out were all frozen in the power of the time gem. The captain took out his pistol and aimed at the nearest Hawkwoman and fired a shot, and the bullet accurately shattered the latter's eyes.

But no blood spurted out of the wound. The black death mud repaired the injury, but these resurrected dead could not break through the control of the time gem by themselves.

But Mason couldn't move forward either.

Because of his attack, the entire dead ruins city "came alive".

Pale white light lit up everywhere in the city, and shadowy black shadows also emerged from everywhere. These armies of the dead controlled by the black lantern ring felt offended.

Due to the instinctive disgust of death for life, they wanted to tear apart the guys who trespassed into the land of death.

The power that the time gem in Mason's hand can generate in this alien world is quite limited. The main reason is that he has not systematically learned how to control the flow of time. If he only relies on this thing, he will probably die soon.

So when surrounded by thousands of dead, the captain decisively took out his ultimate weapon.

"Pop"

The trigger of the one-time ultimate eraser was pulled, and purple flames rose in the dark night, just like an activated grenade thrown forward by Mason.

He himself made a cowardly move of crouching and holding his head to defend.

"Boom"

The dazzling purple light column illuminated the night again, and the destructive cosmic power instantly enveloped the entire ruined city. The energy collision caused the earth to shatter, and the weird howling was like hell descending.

This movement made Damian, who was waiting outside, startled, and also made Ms. Janet, who had just been sent by the speedster, almost throw away the portable quantum tunnel device in her hand.

"What on earth is he doing?"

Ms. Janet exclaimed:

"Didn't you say that Mason went to negotiate terms? This movement seems to be negotiating terms? Is this the beginning of the offensive after the negotiation breaks down? Or is he planning to demolish this land of death to force the Black Lantern Ring to obey?"

"Well, this may also be an optional means?"

Damian pursed his lips, and sighed in his heart that Mason's "explosive" attribute could not be hidden.

However, the captain did not expect to defeat the Black Lantern Corps with a burst of cosmic power. Although the energy explosion just now did destroy the death entity created by the Black Lantern Ring and interfered with the power operation here, for the dead, this pure destruction could not prevent them from appearing again in death.

"It's time to start an exciting shrimp-catching game."

Mason looked at the shattered land in front of him. He threw out a set of Speed ​​Force armor and put it on. In the surging death mud around him like a tide, he quickly crossed the shattered ground and rushed to the location of the Black Death Emperor. From the sky, you can see a faint blue light turning and advancing in the ruins with residual dangerous energy.

It's like walking in a maze.

In order to protect himself, Stuart set up a very complicated route for this ruin. He himself lived in the center of this dark maze. However, for a speedster, no matter how complicated the maze is, he will not try it more than a few times.

"Shua"

The captain's figure appeared in the center of the maze. It took three seconds so fast that the black lantern ring didn't even have time to smooth out the energy aftermath in the city and wake up more dead people.

Mason popped out of the Speed ​​Force armor and looked at the black weird skull seat in front of him.

A guy wearing a tattered black robe and holding a black sickle was sitting on it.

The black skull mask covered his face and his features could not be seen, but his robes fluttered and his dried flesh and skin-and-bone body could be seen.

Mason understood it at that moment.

This guy was not hiding in this ruin to be mysterious, he really could not move! It was like a unique seal that used his body and existence to suppress some restless forces.

"John Stewart?"

Mason asked:

"Can you still hear me?"

"Yes, I'm not deaf."

A weak voice sounded from under the skull mask, with a sense of helplessness and boredom, he said:

"Are you Mason Cooper? I have seen you before, and I was impressed by you when Gray Bat asked me to use the power of the Black Lantern Ring to help you resist the Red Queen.

But why did you come here?"

"To talk to you about something."

Mason put the cosmic power fish tank in his hand aside, and was about to say something when he was interrupted by the weak Stewart, who said:

"Do me a favor first."

"Well, you say, as long as I can do it."

Mason nodded.

I thought that this was the process, just like accepting and completing tasks. If you want to get something, you have to serve the noble NPC first.

"Come forward."

Stuart said in a low and hoarse voice:

"This matter is simple for you, but it is very personal. I hope you don't talk about it everywhere."

"You won't lie to me and let the Black Death Emperor who was suppressed by you swallow me up?"

Mason asked suspiciously, making the Lord of the Black Lantern sigh and say:

"It is not suppressed by me, Mason.

There is a price for me to control the power of the Black Lantern. You should know that I have become a part of it and the embodiment of the concept of death in the material world.

The Green Lantern Corps did their best to destroy part of the concept of the Black Death Emperor, which allowed me to take advantage of the situation.

You don't have to worry about it getting out of control, at least it won't in this world. ”

The captain approached John Stewart, his left hand on the pistol on his waist, determined to fight back if the other party made any unusual movements.

But this did not happen. When he walked to Stewart's side, he heard the other party say in an awkward and weak tone:

"Scratch my back"

"Huh?"

Mason's eyes widened, wondering if he had heard it wrong. Is this a new joke of the younger generation?

"I have been sitting here in this position for almost three years."

Stewart explained:

"I am actually dead, but the power of the black lantern ring is maintaining my existence, but I can't move casually to project the part of the black lantern power that I can control to the whole world and keep them active.

The skull seat you see is actually a 'controller'.

In short, I can't do these simple things by myself, and my back is itching to death.

I'm going crazy.

Maybe I should be thankful that I don't need to worry about excretion after I die, otherwise the scene would make me want to commit suicide. Right, right there, ah, a little lower, scratch hard!

Oh, shit!

It feels so good. "

The Lord of Death felt Mason use his dwarf saber to pop out a tickling device and move it behind him, and he immediately groaned strangely and comfortably.

"Can't you just find a dead person to help you do this?"

Mason maintained a weird expression and complained:

"I just saw Hawkwoman and Vixen, who have been maintaining an improper relationship with you for a long time. Wouldn't it be more convenient for them to help you?"

"They can't get close to me."

Stuart sighed and said:

"This maze that binds me is not made by me, but by them. They are bound by the black lantern ring to the cursed life after death. Getting close to the power of the Black Death Emperor will make them lose their reason.

They don't want to do this, and I don't want to force them.

Anyway, my relationship with them is very complicated. It is not the absolute control between superiors and subordinates that you imagine. Okay, it feels much better. Now tell me, what do you want me to do for you? "

"Well, it's a long story."

Mason stood beside Stewart, looking at the skull seat power controller under his butt, feeling that this thing is similar to the legendary "Ice Throne", and told Stewart about the 2149 universe and the current situation.

He thought it would be difficult to persuade the Black Lantern to give up his power, but he didn't expect that John Stewart made a decision within a minute after he finished speaking.

"You open the quantum tunnel now!"

The Lord of Death said to Mason, who was still tickling him, in a firm tone:

"I will take this army of the dead into the plane of death, and if possible, I hope your companions over there will help me bring the death power left in this universe by the Black Death Emperor.

Now that the threat of the conquerors has been eliminated, the existence of us dead has become an unstable factor in this world.

The Black Death Emperor is a self-aware force. It will definitely pay us back tenfold or a hundredfold for what we have done to it one day in the future. By then, this troubled world will inevitably be flooded with blood.

However, when I became the Lord of Justice, I swore to stop such dangers.

Now it is time for me to fulfill my oath. "

"No, you don't understand my thoughts."

Hearing Stuart's determination, Mason was greatly moved, thinking that these Lords of Justice were really qualified in dedication and sacrifice.

But he emphasized:

"I didn't send you there to make you obey our "companion", Stuart. The death in that plane is reshaping the rules of death. The power of the Black Death Emperor is weaker than her status, but it is not impossible to resist.

Star Devourer and Death obviously already know the significance of their existence to us rebels, so they have cards in their hands to negotiate with us.

However, the fact that the 2149 plane can lead to the World Gate is very important to our cause, and we cannot give it up.

So, what I mean is"

"You want me to go in there and participate in the restart of the Death Plane with the power of the Black Death Emperor, so as to ensure that the secret tactics of the Resistance Alliance will not be interfered with."

John Stewart said clearly:

"You are right! That road can directly determine the fate of the rebels. It cannot fall into the hands of another group of guys with ulterior motives, even if they are cosmic gods.

The dominance of this plan must be in our hands. I am honored to take on such an important mission after my death.

Leave it to me, Mason Cooper.

I will do my best to complete this important task, swearing in the name of the Lord of Justice!"
