The Death Knell

A fist came out of nowhere in the darkness and hit Hal Jordan hard on the chin. He was sent flying by the punch, hit the top of the hard cave, and fell to the ground.

The inside of his head felt like an urban thoroughfare during rush hour. The noisy sounds made him feel trance-like and his eyes were filled with stars.

But he is Green Lantern, and his strong willpower is his foundation. When the ring has power, it can automatically provide a certain degree of protection. He immediately flew up and looked for his enemy.

The surroundings are completely dark. This darkness is not a simple lightless environment, but the gray energy caused by the lights-out procedure blocking the line of sight. Hal's current light ring is fully powered, but from his own perspective, he can only see a faint light. of fluorescence.

Another punch hit him, and he flew out again.

"Hal, welcome home!" The dawn lantern was hidden in the darkness, and only his hoarse voice could be heard.

Hal wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Haha."

The Creepy Lantern appeared next to him again at dawn and punched him. He fell to the ground, making a big hole: "Did something make you laugh?"

Hal got up and tried to fight back, but the hit was only air: "You are little Bruce. In the sewer of some universe, you once called yourself Batman? You are very funny."

The strange lantern at dawn suddenly appeared behind him and gave him a hard blow on the back of the head, causing him to fall into the dust: "How is it so funny? It makes me happy too."

"You think I'm afraid of you, that's the most ridiculous thing." Hal activated his ring to accumulate energy: "You think you can scare me by playing some videos of the destruction of Binhai City and giving me some scary sound effects? "

"Haha, you should have held up a mirror and looked at the expression on your face before saying that." The voice of the lantern at dawn came from nowhere.

The green light ring emits light, illuminating a small area like a flashlight. With this light, Hal is looking for his enemy: "Our Batman is much smarter than you. You will only stimulate my fighting spirit." , come on out, let’s have some serious fun.”

"Your Batman is just being smart. You are just like him. What can you do with those lights of yours? Do you get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom? I am a black hole that can extinguish all light. I am the lantern of dawn!"

He rushed out of the darkness and waved his strange light ring. Hal's green light ring immediately went out, everything fell into darkness, and a series of blows sounded in the darkness.

Hal fell to the ground again. He struggled to get up, breathing heavily and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Ahem...your ring can absorb light, right? I give you a thumbs up, it's a new thing, but you can't absorb the disappearing light." Hal raised his right hand and moved it closer to his Ring: "Activate flash mode."

"Flash mode activated." The ring's voice answered him.

The so-called flash mode flashes at a high frequency like a flash, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, because the short light allows Hal to see the enemy but will not be extinguished by the lights-out ring.

He saw the lantern of dawn flying above his head. He raised his face and touched the blood on his face.

"Okay, Dawn Breaker, let's dance!"

The dawn lantern rushed down immediately, and the ring emitted gray-green light and sprayed over.

"I slaughtered the Green Lantern Corps!"

"Missed." Hal could see him, and he just dodged the energy beam easily.

"Kai, Gale, John, and even the Guardians are all dead!" The Daybreak Lantern fired energy again.

"It's off again." Hal twisted his waist, his hands embodying something in the darkness.

"No one can stop me!" Xiaoxiao Deng waved his fist.

"I'm hiding." Hal twisted and dodged in the air like a fish.

"Then why do you think you can do it!?" Dawn's Creepy Lantern clenched his fists and hit Hal like a superman.

"Because, little Bruce..." At this time, when the strange light came closer, it was discovered that Hal used the flash program to cover up and secretly manifested a huge robot. A fist was as tall as a man. He did not hesitate. The ground-operated robot punched the Daybreak Lantern and knocked him away: "You have never flown with me!"

Taking advantage of the victory, he pursued the attack and punched Dawn's lantern one after another. With the help of the flash mode, he would not lose his target.

"This punch... is for cover!"

He made the lantern spin in place.

"This punch is for Kyle!"

Hal knocked him into the roof of the cave.

"This is for John!"

He grabbed the lantern of dawn and smashed it to the ground.

However, in the gap between flashes, the weird Batman disappeared again.

"Are you hiding again?" Hal looked for enemies everywhere, but in the darkness he could only see the bones of countless Lanterns displayed in glass covers. They were Lanterns from another universe. The Dawn Collection He took their corpses as collections: "Why did I say again? Haha, come out, my show is not over yet!"

Among those corpses were not only members of the Green Lantern Corps, but also members of other lantern groups. The Daybreak Lantern destroyed everything.

The Daybreak Lantern hid behind a stone pillar, watching Hal flying around, accumulating the dark energy of his ring. When the ring was densely covered with gray-green arcs, he raised the ring.

"Then, Hal, please continue your performance!"

He adjusted the absorption frequency of his lights-out ring to be the same as Hal's flash frequency, and everything fell into darkness again.

"Ring, end flash mode." Hal turned around, and the voice just now came from behind him.

"Flash mode has ended."

Hal raised his ring and strengthened his belief. He believed in himself, the Legion, and the world.

A steady stream of green light flowed from the ring, and they spread over Hal's body like a flame. The Green Lantern's uniform also began to emit strong light, and the light became brighter and stronger.

The entire cave seemed to be burning in green flames.

"Let me teach you a lesson, Daybreak Lantern. This ring of mine was not given to me by others, nor was it found by me." He looked up at his ring. He had joined several others. A lantern group, I have abandoned many rings and died once, but this ring is different from other rings: "I forged it with my own will. I am not carrying it, I am it!"

He began to burn, and the green light emitted formed the symbol of the Green Lantern Corps behind him. He just looked at the dawn lantern floating in the distance with a serious expression.

"I blew up the war world with it! We returned from the underworld together! We saved the lives of the gods!" He pointed the ring at the lantern of dawn, and the rich energy was rolling on it, ready to burst out: " Now, we'll burn your ring to ashes!"

Dawn Cunning Light applauded. His face lost a piece of flesh and blood when his world was destroyed, exposing his red gums, but he is smiling happily now.

"Nice light show, want to hear my song?"

Hal emitted energy, and thick green light beams rushed towards the Dawn Lantern.

"Who the hell wants to listen to your non-mainstream songs? I play rock and roll!"

Breaking Light shrugged, as if regretting his taste. He raised his hand and made a fist. The strong gray-green light came like a tide, and Hal's attack disappeared like a mud cow entering the sea.

Everything returned to darkness, leaving only Hal and his ring emitting a faint light. In the haze, he saw countless nightmare monsters rushing toward him.

Among them, the leaders of each lantern group were at the forefront. In the other world, they retained the tragic state of death, twisting and screaming, and making sounds from their mouths that Hal could only hear in his nightmares.

"Mine! It's all mine!"

“Fear will always have its place!”

"That's not how I trained you, Jordan!"

"Ismot's lake of blood will contain your crimson!"

"I want to be alone with you, honey."

Hal looked at these nightmare monsters, each with a familiar face. The powerful energy contained in their bodies frightened him. He knew that he was going to fail, but he just shook his fist and polished his ring.

"Okay, which one of you comes first?"

The green light makes people fearless. This does not mean that they will not be afraid when facing death, but it means that people can still fight to the end under the weight of fear.
