Chapter 477: Green Lantern Corps in Trouble (1)

The Green Lantern Corps, a mysterious organization in space, is known for its members who possess special abilities from the Green Lantern ring. Although considered a secretive group, their existence is known to many civilizations in space.

It cannot be denied that the majority of Green Lanterns are righteous and helpful. The Green Lantern Corps divides space into various sectors, with each sector being protected by a Green Lantern responsible for maintaining peace and order. These Green Lanterns have made significant contributions to the security of space.

If we were to say that Schiller took advantage of the Green Lantern Corps, it would seem like something a villain would do. Although Schiller doesn't care whether people see him as a villain or not, he still has room to justify his actions. The key lies with the creators of the Green Lantern Corps, the Guardians of the Universe.

Previously, it was mentioned how unreliable the Guardians of the Universe are. In reality, their level of unreliability surpasses anyone's imagination. For example, the leader of the Red Lantern Corps, representing anger, is actually a product of the trouble caused by the Guardians of the Universe.

The Guardians of the Universe created a mechanical life form that massacred the civilization in Sector 666, leaving only a few survivors. Atrocitus, fueled by anger over the destruction of his civilization, was chosen by the red light spectrum and became the leader of the Red Lantern Corps.

In the context of space, this story may seem uninteresting. However, when viewed at a micro level, Batman only lost his parents and spent his life seeking revenge, while the Guardians of the Universe's small mistake led to the extinction of countless civilizations in a vast space region. And in the end, there was no Batman in space to make them pay for their actions.

Another example is the Blackest Night event in the comics, where various lantern corps engaged in a battle. This was also caused by the Guardians of the Universe. The leaders of the Blue Lantern Corps, Indigo Tribe, Sinestro Corps, and other corps had disagreements with the Guardians of the Universe.

The Guardians of the Universe allowed the leader of the Sinestro Corps to oppress the Green Lanterns, but turned a blind eye to the leader of the Orange Lantern Corps monopolizing all the orange light energy. These actions caused resentment among all the corps, leading to a massive conflict.

At every critical juncture, they made the wrong choices, resulting in this major event. The price they paid for these mistakes was merely a tarnished reputation, or sometimes no reputation at all, as the lantern corps bore the brunt of the blame.

For the lantern corps, their losses due to these mistakes were devastating. Their reputation in space plummeted, and even the foundation of the corps was shaken.

Although it may sound severe, compared to the destruction experienced by ordinary civilizations in space, it is nothing. The massacre suffered by Sector 666 alone resulted in the deaths of billions of ordinary lives.

And what lessons did the Guardians of the Universe learn from this? None at all.

They continued to create various rotten situations and instigate conflicts between the lantern corps, causing the Green Lanterns to turn against each other and leading to the Blackest Night.

Humanity always yearns for justice and goodness. Therefore, when the Green Lantern rings arrived on this planet with the banner of justice, many people, like Hal, did not have enough awareness to be cautious. They even longed for the Green Lanterns to bring peace to space...

But in reality, even though most Green Lanterns are righteous and friendly, the ordinary surface dwellers, due to their limited understanding and abilities, cannot comprehend the immense danger that lies behind them.

It's like a colony of ants facing humanity. If humanity is friendly, then everyone is happy. But if any unexpected event occurs, the ants and their nests cannot withstand the terrifying disaster that befalls them.

What is even more worrisome is that due to the friendliness shown by humanity, many ants, even in the face of disaster, not only do not resist but willingly sacrifice themselves, singing songs of friendship with humanity before their demise.Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

It can be foreseen that if Hal does not break free from the brainwashing of blindly accepting missions and upholding the justice of the Green Lanterns, there will come a day when this world will no longer have Hal Jordan, only a Green Lantern whose mind and body belong to Oa.

"In fact, I rarely mention my hometown to people. Coastal City on the West Coast doesn't have a good reputation due to the influx of immigrants during the gold rush of the previous era. The security situation there was once a cause for concern."

"But I still love my hometown. I was born and raised there, and for a long time, I was afraid of leaving."

The more he spoke, the more anxious he became, even standing up from the sofa. The green crystal he held in his hand emitted a faint light, spreading along his arm to his body.

"Wait, are you planning to go like this? Do you know where the headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps is?"

"Of course, the ring will tell me... Oh, this is not the ring." Hal looked down at his hand, where he held a stone, but it wasn't a ring.

Schiller picked up a bell from the tea table and shook it gently. Soon, Merkel came out with Dick and Aisha.

Schiller beckoned to Dick, and when Dick approached, Schiller patted his shoulder and said, "Just like I told you before, Dick, take off that ring. Your Uncle Hal needs it now."

Dick rubbed his eyes sleepily, extended his arm, and the light emitted from the ring on his finger was already very weak. After such a long time, the Green Lantern ring was almost out of power.

Aisha approached, grabbed Dick's arm, and then pulled the ring off his hand. Just as she was about to put the ring in her mouth, Schiller took the ring and handed it back to Hal.

"The Green Lantern energy in this crystal can also recharge the ring in reverse. The principle is the same as the power battery. This crystal in your hand contains the energy of approximately ten Green Lantern rings, enough to fully charge your ring ten times."

Hal took a deep breath, then looked at the pile of crystals in the large box and said, "My goodness! So, each crystal here is equivalent to ten Green Lantern rings? You didn't empty the central power battery, did you?"

"That's actually something I want to ask you. If you plan to go to the headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps later, could you please check how much power is left in the power battery located there?"

"Why do you want to know that? You're not thinking of stealing all the Green Lantern energy, are you?"

"How is that possible..." Schiller denied it, and Hal breathed a sigh of relief. But then, he heard Schiller say,

"I can't do it alone, so it's not 'me' who wants to steal all the energy from the central power battery, it's 'us'."

Ten minutes later, at the headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps on Oa, a green Green Lantern wearing an officer's uniform entered the central hall of the power battery with a stack of materials.

He saluted the Corps Leader and said, "Sir, I found out that the Green Lantern who has been using the energy most frequently recently is named Schiller Rodriguez, from Sector 2814, Earth."

The Corps Leader furrowed his brow, and at that moment, another younger Green Lantern walked in, saluting the others and saying, "A new member has reported in, Hal Jordan, who recently joined the Corps, from Sector 2814, Earth."

The Corps Leader and the Deputy exchanged a glance. The young Green Lantern was a bit puzzled and said, "If there are no issues, I'll go arrange a welcome ceremony for him and then have him join the training."

"Wait!" the Corps Leader spoke up, "We will personally welcome him."
