The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics

Dodging the ray fired from a blind spot, Angela adjusted her thruster's firing angle and decisively distanced herself from Peter.

Angela had always fought against superhumans, and these beings generally had one characteristic: extremely strong recovery abilities.

Even a brief pause of a second could give the opponent a chance to breathe, so Angela, guided by experience, subconsciously created distance between herself and Peter.

This choice had helped Angela countless times in the past, but today it was not a good one.

Because Peter was a Green Lantern who had consumed a lot of energy, if it weren't for the protective shield of his power ring, Angela's attack would not have just injured Peter, but would have smashed him into two pieces.

However, Angela's subconscious action based on experience saved Peter's life.

By the time Angela retreated to a safe distance, a line of Green Lanterns was standing behind Peter, and a young man was helping the injured Peter.

"Hey, are you okay?" the young Lantern asked Peter, who was hunched over.

"Ugh... not dead yet," Peter retched a few times, waving his hand. "More than that, I'm glad you guys could make it."

"We're very sorry we're late," the young man revealed a hint of apology. "I admire your noble qualities, but please understand that not everyone can view death as nothing."

"Of course, I can understand, after all, I was just scolded awake by my sister not long ago."

Peter indicated that he didn't mind. With the support of his companions, he could finally observe the surrounding situation with peace of mind. This glance made him feel as if he had taken a reassurance pill.

Behind him, countless Green Lanterns were flying in his direction, looking like a surging green tide.

"All the Green Lanterns on Earth have come," the young man said, his tone inevitably carrying a hint of pride, indicating that he was very satisfied with the organization he was currently in.

"Let me reintroduce myself, I'm Amadeus Cho, do you have a plan?"

"Peter Parker," Peter introduced himself first, then immediately transmitted his assessment of the situation to everyone through his power ring.

"Without considering our own output, your method of making the opponent explode is indeed good," Amadeus stroked his chin.

"But unfortunately, it seems to be too late for this plan. Even if I haven't seen alien technology, I can tell just by looking that this thing is about to launch."

Amadeus pointed to the distant Heaven's main battleship. The inside of the cannon barrel that was sticking out was already as dazzling as the sun, and Angela, who had been confronting the Lanterns, had also begun to turn around and retreat.

Clearly, the other side had received some kind of instruction, which is why she decisively turned around and fled. Combining the intelligence, the only result Amadeus could think of was that they were about to fire.

"Don't chase!" Amadeus called back the few who were giving chase. "We don't have time to deal with that guy now, the big one is coming soon."

...

"Tell Angela to enter the range of the warship's protective barrier first," the Angel Queen ordered her subordinates. Just like Amadeus said, the main cannon's energy had been fully charged.

The critical alert displayed on the screen in front of her was constantly reminding her that they couldn't wait for Angela to return to the warship before firing.

The Angel Queen immediately pressed the launch button. Even if Angela hadn't flown to a safe distance at this time, she couldn't care so much, if it continued like this, the main cannon would explode, and all the angels on board would die.

Dazzling light burst out from the cannon barrel. At this moment, even the sun lost its brilliance, and a beam of light as thick as a planet rolled towards Earth.

"Brace yourselves, everyone!" Amadeus raised his arm, at this moment he couldn't even bother to wipe the cold sweat flowing down his forehead.

"We are the last barrier of Earth, behind us is our home, at this moment we..."

"Will never retreat!" ×N

Five thousand voices sounded together, and at the same time, five thousand Lanterns raised their arms with power rings, the next second, five thousand green rays of light shot towards the front of the crowd.

Five thousand rays of light of varying thickness intertwined, converging into a shield blocking the inevitable path of the energy cannon.

The spear and shield finally came into contact, and the tyrannical energy cannon didn't even shatter the shield jointly constructed by the Lanterns in the first instance, this feat shocked all the angels on the Heaven's main battleship.

According to the calculations of the scientific researchers, the power of the main cannon could even be comparable to Odin's attack, which was also their reliance on revenge against Asgard.

However, at this time, this ultimate weapon, which was pinned with the hopes of all the angels, was blocked by a group of unknown little green men.

Unlike the angels' shock, the Lanterns didn't feel happy because they had blocked the attack, it was more like they didn't have the strength to speak at this time.

In order to block the attack, five thousand Lanterns had used all their strength, and even so, they had only temporarily stopped the opponent's offensive pace. All the Lanterns knew that this fragile balance would soon be broken.

Gradually, the Lanterns' energy became less and less, although they were still struggling to support it, the strength of the shield was still slowly decreasing.

"Crack!"

Clearly, there shouldn't have been sound in the space, but every Lantern heard the sound of glass breaking in their hearts. In the distance, a crack had appeared in the barrier formed by the joint efforts of the Lanterns.

"Sustain the output!" The Angel Queen stood up. "The opponent is at the end of their rope!"

The cracks in the barrier were increasing, looking like they could shatter at any time, and their opponent's energy seemed to be endless, constantly putting pressure on them.

'It's already enough, we've already done enough.'

This sentence appeared in the hearts of the Lanterns at the same time. Clearly, death was approaching, but none of the Lanterns felt a trace of fear in their hearts.

On the contrary, a sense of satisfaction appeared in their hearts. They had done everything they could do, and they could face death without regrets.

"In brightest day, in blackest night,"

This was the oath, all the Lanterns were extremely familiar with this rhyming verse, this was the first thing that appeared in their minds after they joined the Green Lantern Corps, representing the meaning of the Green Lantern Corps' existence.

The voice reciting this oath was also extremely familiar to everyone, it was Peter Parker who had inspired everyone not long ago.

Just not long ago, Peter had rekindled the green light with willpower, so he knew that green light energy actually had no limit, as long as you never gave up, it would always respond to you.

But at this time, Peter had no time to explain, he could only recite the oath, hoping to reinvigorate more people with it.

"No evil shall escape my sight"

Although they didn't know why, several people subconsciously followed Peter and recited it, and this number was constantly increasing.

"Let those who worship evil's might,"

More and more people recited the oath, and the Lanterns' power rings became more and more dazzling. The shield that had begun to shatter was also repairing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Beware my power--Green Lantern's light!" ×5000

Afterward, the green light swallowed everything.
