Chapter 444 Martin's Story Time (Please subscribe, read, and comment on the monthly ticket)
"broken!"

When Hal saw Martin running wildly through space like a straight line, he knew that he could not stop.

Although Green Lanterns often use warping to quickly reach other galaxies, this is different from accelerating their bodies to the speed of light.

If we explain it using a concept that earthlings can understand, the former is equivalent to directly moving the coordinate axis to allow a point to move quickly, while the latter is to allow a point to slowly crawl in space.

Although the former consumes much more energy and requires much more technology than the latter, it is much less dangerous for the user.

Because the pre-preparation for the jump does not require the user's personal participation, even if an accident occurs, it will only affect the surrounding material environment.

When the physical body is accelerated to the speed of light, all the power and danger are exerted on the user. If one is not careful, he may be burned to ashes along the way.

Green Lantern is protected by his lantern ring and will not be burned to ashes like ordinary people, but no one can predict what will happen when he is accelerated to the speed of light.

"If Martin breaks through the constraints of the material world and escapes to the outside of the universe, it will be a big deal."

The only thing Hal was thankful for was that Martin's trajectory was very clear, and he only needed to keep jumping to catch up with him.

"Martin, Martin, are you all right? Can you turn now?"

After Hal closed the distance between himself and Martin, he called him through the Green Lantern Ring, trying to find a way to stop him.

"Turning is impossible. I have gathered too much energy to accelerate to the speed of light. I can only slow down by consuming it."

Martin was very calm. As long as he didn't brake hard, the protective shield created by the Green Lantern Ring could help him block some of the damage caused by the laws of physics.

The problem is that there is too much energy accumulated in his body, and it cannot be transferred through leaping.

Otherwise, the changes in space and the energy in his body would collide and the galaxy would be swallowed by the black hole in an instant.

"Hal, please set up some obstacles on my way and try to help me deviate from the direction of my progress."

Martin used the Green Lantern Ring to quickly calculate the trajectory and passed it to Hal.

Hal's eyebrows almost popped out of his forehead: "No way, you're going to crash into a planet?"

Hal was not worried about the fate of the planet. The galaxy was extremely desolate and the only valuable minerals had been mined out in the war.

The planet is now just a big rock that no one wants, and no matter how Martin and his team mess around with it, it’s useless.

"If you crash into it like this, I'm worried that you'll be smashed to pieces. No matter how advanced Xing's technology is, it won't be able to help you put it together!"

"You should worry about the consequences of the planet, not me! Even if the planet shatters into dust, I will be fine."

Martin urged him, "Stop talking nonsense and just do what I say. If you delay any longer, I will get faster and faster."

"Okay, okay! I hope you're okay."

Hal was still nervous, but he immediately used the green light energy to materialize thousands of instruments in Martin's path, slowing him down while trying to weaken the energy gathered in him.

Boom——

Hal's efforts failed. Although he deviated from Martin's path, he did not weaken the energy gathered in him.

Martin eventually crashed into the planet at the speed of light.

At the beginning, the universe was very quiet, as if nothing had happened, and Martin did not move.

But when Hal was about to approach the planet to look for Martin, the seemingly safe planet suddenly erupted with countless volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, hurricanes and magnetic field shifts.

A desolate planet about the same size as the Earth was forcibly deviated from its original orbit by thousands of kilometers.

Then, as Hal stared in amazement, an entire planet shattered into pieces, and the mess quickly condensed in space and eventually turned into a pile of meteorite fragments.

The sudden destruction of a planet would certainly cause more than just this much noise.

But after Martin stopped, he began to change the surrounding environment, and finally minimized the impact of the destruction of this desolate planet whose name had been forgotten.

“This is so exciting!”

Hal flew to Martin and looked at the wreckage of the destroyed planet. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

"Calm down, calm down. Once you get used to the affairs of the Green Lantern Corps, you will find that these are just daily operations."

Martin had no feelings about destroying a planet.

There is no intelligent life on the planet, not even plants or water, and people would be sad about the disappearance of such things.

"Depend on!"

Hal's emotions were so complicated that he could only express them in his own primitive way.

Martin smiled slightly and didn't try to persuade him any more. He used the Green Lantern Ring to create a space gate and went to Ajurui Star No. 3, a favorite place for the Lanterns.

The Green Lantern Corps' headquarters is of course Oa, but the Lanterns are usually dealing with problems between planets, and not everyone can return in time.

Over time, the Lanterns got used to taking a short break at Ajurui Star No. 3, where the Interstellar Court was located, and then continuing to work.

Of course, Martin has never been to Ajury Star No. 3, but the Green Lantern Ring stores the tracks of other Green Lanterns' activities here.

As was his custom, he took Hal to a bar frequented by Lanterns, where he was warmly received and received service without having to pay any common equivalent such as currency.

"This is the service the Green Lantern Corps should enjoy in order to maintain the order of the universe. Please relax a little."

The bar owner recognized that Hal was a newbie, so he didn't put out the menu, but instead made them some milder drinks.

The bar on Ajurui Star No. 3 is similar to the bar on Earth. Everyone gathers together to chat and have fun, talk about happy things, and complain about the disappointments in life.

The only difference is that no one here likes to get drunk. All kinds of aliens are very rational, enjoying their emotions but not indulging themselves. In such an environment, Hal gradually relaxed, drank a drink similar to juice, and ordered a glass of wine.

However, Ajurysing 3 did not include any information about the Earth, so Hal had to explain the situation on Earth to the waiter in exchange for a low-alcohol drink.

"Alas, the first mission was a failure. What should I do?"

After half a glass of wine, Hal began to complain about his failed mission.

"I really wanted to stay in the Green Lantern Corps and gain everyone's recognition. But I failed in the first mission."

"You are a novice and I am your mentor. Even if there is any responsibility for this failure, it should be mine. After all, you acted according to my orders."

Martin took the responsibility directly, and it was indeed his responsibility.

Hal was confused about this mission from beginning to end. He was ordered around by Martin, but he didn't know why he was busy.

"I am an adult and should have my own judgment. Since I chose to believe you, I must bear the price of such a choice. I just want to know what is going on."

Hal drank the remaining half glass of wine in one gulp and asked the waiter for another one.

"Don't worry, I'm the Green Lantern. Two or three glasses of alcoholic drinks won't make me drunk and crazy."

Hal comforted the somewhat worried waiter.

As an American, he has been drinking with his classmates since high school, and after becoming a test pilot, he is even more addicted to alcohol.

But after joining the Green Lantern Corps, he discovered that there were many meaningful things in this world, and gradually became less interested in drinking.

"This goes back to the founding of the Green Lantern Corps!"

Martin snapped his fingers, separating himself and Hal from the bar and ensuring that their subsequent conversation would not be spread.

"In order to maintain order in the universe, the Guardians discovered the green light energy on Oa and created a central energy battery. Then they formed the Green Lantern Corps according to the prophecy of the Book of Oa. Is there any problem with this?"

Hal tells a story that every Green Lantern knows.

"There's basically no problem, but the story I want to tell is more detailed."

Martin drank his drink slowly and began his story: "The origin of green light energy or emotional energy can be traced back to before the beginning of the universe. In that period when everything turned from chaos to order and illusion to entity, the first creatures were illuminated by the light of creation and appeared in the chaotic darkness."

"They tried to escape from that chaos and began to enter the physical universe under the inspiration of the light of creation. The first to enter this world was the blue Yaoshihuang. She felt the inadequacy of the physical universe and spread her light throughout the universe. At the same time, she also inspired her brothers and sisters and became the original emotion of hope."

Hal knew that Martin would not lie, so he put down his glass and listened to his story carefully.

"The second one to enter the physical universe was the blue converted octopus. He looked at the other five brothers and sisters who were still struggling in the darkness and felt pity. So he stretched out his tentacles to help them and pulled them out of the darkness. But he was also attacked by the darkness and became dying."

"The third one to enter the real universe was the orange Desire Python. It was jealous of Yaoshi Huang and Gai Zong Chi for being able to enter the real universe on their own. It was also jealous of their wings and tentacles. As a result, it became greedy and watched Gai Zong Chi being attacked."

"The yellow parallax monster was the fourth to come out. From it on, all creatures in the chaotic universe began to attack it under the influence of darkness. Even though the parallax monster entered the physical universe, it still felt the malice in the chaotic universe. It was the first creature to feel fear."

"The fifth creature to enter the physical universe was the purple Plundermon. It was also attacked, but with the help of the Conversion Octopus, it also entered the physical universe intact. It felt love, but it was not yet perfect. After seeing the Glory Phoenix resuscitate the Ion Shark, the Plundermon's love was inspired and became complete. It believed that love is possession, and became the first creature to feel love."

"The green Ion Shark, the energy source of the Green Lantern Corps, was the sixth creature to enter the physical universe. However, it had half of its body bitten off by a chaotic creature, and was dying after entering the physical universe. At this time, it had no willpower. The Conversion Octopus once again extended its tentacles into the chaotic universe after entering the physical universe, causing its spirit to be traumatized and its mind to become low. All the tentacles that extended into the chaotic universe died from the rules level. The Light of Creation had weakened at this time and turned into the Spirit of Existence. The Spirit of Existence inspired the Glory Phoenix, and the Glory Phoenix connected part of the necrotic tentacles of the Conversion Octopus to the back half of the severely injured Ion Shark, allowing the Ion Shark to continue to survive, and the Ion Shark was born with courage and willpower."

"The last one to enter the actual universe was the Blood Bull we just met. He saw with his own eyes what darkness did to his brothers and sisters, and he became angry."

"It turns out there's such a bizarre story behind the Green Lantern Corps!"

Hal nodded repeatedly, but just treated it as a story and didn't think it would have any impact on the Green Lantern Corps.

Martin smiled faintly and did not respond to him immediately. He continued to talk to himself: "After the seven lamp beasts entered the physical universe, the chaos continued for a while. In the fight against the chaos and darkness, the seven lamp beasts suffered varying degrees of damage, so they hid in the physical universe and were unknown to the public."

"The Guardians have always wanted to create an eternal order for the universe. They tried a lot, but all ended in failure. Until they found the Ion Shark on Oa, they felt that they had finally found what they had been dreaming of. So they hurriedly created the Central Energy Battery and selected a group of Green Lanterns, but failed again."

"Failure? That's not right. If we fail, how can we still sit here and accept other people's respect?"

Hal now does not have unwavering trust in the Green Lantern Corps, or the Guardians, and is only skeptical of Martin's words.

"Because there are a lot of civilizations in this universe, such as Superman's hometown Krypton, the mechanical life form Brainiac, and the New God of Apokolips, etc."

"So the group of Green Lanterns rushed to Apokolips to kill Darkseid, but they were massacred."

"Okay, you're getting more and more ridiculous. How could the Green Lantern Corps not have any records of such an important matter?"

Hal felt that Martin was fooling him.

But Martin shook his head: "You should know that an organization always has a dark side. I am not telling you this to reveal any dark past, but to let you know that the guardians attach great importance to the eternal order in their eyes, and their judgment standards are very rigid."

"As for whether this is true or not, you only need to go back to Earth and find the Amazons and the Atlanteans to confirm the existence of Apokolips. There is no record of Apokolips in the Green Lantern Corps' database."

"Shet!"

Hal cursed: "So what you mean is that the Guardians will never let another Lantern fall into the hands of the enemies of the Green Lantern Corps and destroy the order they want to maintain."

"Yes, what's worse is that they don't care about the existence of the Blood Bull. But without the Angry Lantern Beast, things will be troublesome."

"What kind of trouble will it be?"

"That's what we'll be talking about in the next story session. You don't need to know it now."
