Chapter 445: The Complex Green Lantern Corps (Please subscribe, read, and comment on the monthly ticket)

"You're keeping it a secret at this time? That's too inhumane."

Hal thought Martin was going to reveal something shocking, but he didn't expect him to suddenly stop mentioning it.

Hal's curiosity was aroused, and he would feel uneasy if it was not satisfied.

Martin shook his head and said, "The reason I didn't continue is because I was afraid you couldn't bear it. Although the Guardians have high IQs, their understanding of the world is very rigid, and they have done many things that ordinary people can't accept."

"If everything is exposed at once, I can't say what kind of excessive things they will do. If they just mess with the Green Lantern Corps, it's still within the control range. If it affects the order of the universe, there will be no way to solve it."

The Guardians are an important part of the Green Lantern Corps. If someone ignores their past and attacks the Green Lantern Corps, it will cause trouble throughout the universe.

The reason why Darkseid and Brainiac did not carry out a large-scale expedition was mainly due to two reasons.

The universe is too vast. If they encounter a civilization with advanced industrial civilization that can cut off hyperspace transmission, even if they win, it may take them hundreds or even thousands of years to return to their base.

Another reason is the Green Lantern Corps. Although the Green Lanterns cannot defeat a new god of Darkseid's level, no one on Apokolips can gain any advantage over the Green Lantern Corps except Darkseid himself.

"I don't agree with this view. Good Guardians don't have any privileges. If they do something wrong, they must be punished. This is what the Green Lantern Corps should do."

Hal was very firm in this matter, and rarely showed his military side.

Martin nodded and said, "You are right. But there is always a priority. If Apokolips is not ready to make a move, I don't mind cutting off the influence of the Guardians on the Green Lantern Corps now."

"But Apokolips is already prepared for war against Earth. We are already at a disadvantage. If civil unrest breaks out in the Green Lantern Corps again, are you going to let Earth fight Apokolips alone?"

It was as if he had learned from Martin what was happening on Earth, and he also knew how big the gap between interstellar civilizations was.

Regardless of whether it is as terrible as Martin said, the other party is an interstellar civilization, and it has the ability to attack the earth at a dimensionality reduction level.

"What is this Apocalypse Star Map? Humanity may have great potential, but it is not worth it to attack Earth, which has not yet entered the ranks of interstellar civilization, across a distance of who knows how many light years."

Hal didn't mind the situation on Earth, he just couldn't figure out what Apokolips was thinking.

It’s not that colonization doesn’t exist among interstellar civilizations, but their method of colonization is more similar to economic colonization on Earth.

The universe is so vast that even if faster-than-light travel is possible, it would still take a long time to reach another planet where intelligent life exists.

It is almost meaningless for interstellar civilizations to colonize a civilization that entered the galaxy last time through military means.

In order to turn the people on the colonized planet into qualified labor, the colonists must not only carry out initial investment in training but also be prepared for the possibility that the garrisons sent out may become independent.

Once the initial investment is completed, the colonized planet may use these things to attack the colonists in return.

Therefore, most interstellar civilizations would rather mine uninhabited planets than pay attention to those planets that already have intelligent life.

Those civilizations with colonial traditions also changed their colonization methods after entering the interstellar space, from crude garrison colonization to a method similar to cultural colonization.

These civilizations have a threshold for selecting planets, and at the very least they must enter the industrial age. Only such people can understand the development of science and technology.

The colonists will then send their own scientific and technical personnel to influence the science, technology and culture of the colonized planet, guide their development, and occupy most of the fruits of development.

If some civilizations enter the interstellar space under such guidance, the colonists will accept this planet as one of their own, give them the status of collaborators or second-class citizens, and use it to fill their own shortcomings.

But Hal heard from Martin's words that Apocalypse is a purely military civilization, and its actions against the Earth are purely offensive, as if they do not seek anything in return.

"The ruthless core of Apokolips is the New God, and Earth is the base camp of the Old God. In terms of faith, Apokolips is hostile to the existence of the Old God. In terms of practical interests, Darkseid wants to obtain an equation from Earth that can reveal the core secrets of the universe."

It was in the Green Lantern Corps that Martin discovered the difference between Darkseid and Apokolips.

Simply put, Darkseid, as the leader of the New Gods, can even directly observe parallel worlds, but as a civilization in the universe, not many people know about Apokolips.

As a force controlled by the New Gods, Apocalypse maintained the gods' usual mysterious style, did not launch sudden destructive attacks on the planets they valued, and did not leave any clues afterwards.

Secondly, the reason for the existence of Apokolips is to satisfy the desires of the new gods such as Darkseid, which leads to their lack of interest in outward expansion.

So, after the Guardians erased the past of the Green Lantern Corps, not only did the Lanterns not know about the existence of the Green Lantern Corps, the civilizations in the universe had no way of knowing about this elusive existence.

"So what's your plan, to convince the Green Lantern Corps to protect Earth?"

Hal thought about what he had seen and heard on Oa, and said to Martin, "If the Legion knew that Apokolips was going to attack Earth, they would definitely help. This is not a difficult task!"

"I haven't thought about this yet!"

Martin and Hal think in different directions, so the conclusions they reach won't be very similar.

Although Hal had undergone training from the Green Lantern Corps, his mindset had not completely changed and he was only thinking about how to repel the attack from Apokolips.

Martin not only considers the weather-related offense, but also how to use the impact of this incident.

This impact is not only on the earth, but also on the universe.

Although Apokolips is elusive, the legend of the new gods has never stopped circulating in the universe.

If Darkseid is defeated by Earth, I wonder how many people will turn their attention to Earth.

"Why hesitate about such a thing? The best way is of course to strike first. I told you that the Green Lantern Corps is no match for the newcomers. Then we can only build a defense system around the earth as soon as possible."

Hal didn't think too much about it and the conclusion he came to was very simple, it was just a question of how to fight.

"I don't think the Green Lantern Corps is no match for Apokolips. As long as the Lanterns don't keep their eyes on Darkseid and the other New Gods, the other forces in the past few days would have been unable to do anything to us. So I think it would be a waste if we let the Green Lanterns guard the Earth."

Martin's mind is more active than Hal's, especially when it comes to commanding people.

"Perhaps the Lanterns will have more different opinions, but I think we should first find a way to let the Green Lantern Corps know the existence of Apokolips, and then we can convince them."

Hal also realized the difference in thinking between himself and Martin, so he turned to talk about more specific things.

"This is probably simpler than you think. Darkseid is not a reckless man. In order to obtain the Anti-Life Equation, he will never ignore the existence of the Green Lantern Corps. At the very least, he must prevent the Green Lanterns from paying attention to what is happening on Earth."

Hal immediately understood what Martin meant.

Apocalypse will proactively send troops to areas where the Dragon Legion is active to attract the attention of the Lanterns.

"How many troops does Apokolips have to spend like this? The range of the Lanterns' activities starts from the galaxy." "Apokolips has the Mother Box, which can quickly produce a large number of demons with strong individual combat capabilities and a certain degree of intelligence. More importantly, Darkseid is a New God, not the ruler of an ordinary intelligent life race, so he will not calculate the losses of Apokolips when making plans, but only cares about whether he can get what he wants."

Martin determined the general character of Darkseid based on his experience with the comics and the information collected recently in Justice League.

The Mother Box is one of Apokolips' most important weapons to dominate the universe, but he handed it over to the earthlings so easily.

This is not trust but a kind of arrogance. It is obvious that they think that even if the earthlings get the Mother Box, they can't do anything to threaten Apocalypse, so they are so unscrupulous.

"Is there no way to take the initiative to cause trouble for Apocalypse? Waiting is not a pleasant experience. I really don't have much patience!"

When Hal knew these things, he looked eager to try.

Ma Li smiled and didn't expose him.

It's not that Hal is impatient, he just wants to show off his power after getting the Green Lantern ring.

Martin didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He would have such thoughts every time he changed into a new identity.

However, he couldn't do that now, so he said to Hal: "If you want to use your Green Lantern abilities, you can find other tasks to do. There's no need to be a hero in this matter."

"But I failed my first mission. I'm afraid I'll have to undergo retraining for a while before I can take on new missions."

Hal became dejected when he mentioned this matter, and didn't know how to explain it to the guardians.

Martin repeatedly emphasized the importance of the lantern tree, which made him realize that the guardians would probably not allow an existence that could shake the uniqueness of the Green Lantern Corps.

Even though the Blood Bull and the Ionic Shark are of the same nature and can be considered brothers and sisters, it has no meaning to the Guardians.

Those guardians who have lived for more than one billion years are no different from robots. They have lost the ability to accept defects and seem to have a long life just like the cold universe.

But the cold universe also knows that it cannot solve all problems, so it gave birth to various kinds of intelligent life.

The Guardians once knew that there were things they could not do, so they made various attempts, but now most Guardians have lost this ability and can only act according to the rigid procedures in their minds, getting further and further away from victory.

If it weren't for the powerful Lanterns of the Green Lantern Corps, these blue-skinned races would have disappeared in the long river of history long ago.

However, the Guardians' rigid thinking does have one advantage, which is that they don't make mistakes easily.

Although a mistake could lead to the destruction of the entire Green Lantern Corps, the time and probability of such a mistake are constantly delayed thanks to the efforts of the Lanterns.

Until now, nothing as big as Robo-Man has happened to the Green Lantern Corps.

But that's because the Guardians firmly believe that the Green Lantern Corps is a special existence, and this sentiment extends to the Lanterns.

But if Bloody Ox shakes the special nature of the Green Lantern Corps, no one can predict what crazy things the Guardians will do.

"We can go find Guardian Gunther. He is a reasonable person. He is not so hostile to other Lanterns and will definitely cover up for us."

Hal followed Martin's words and recalled the guardian Gunther, believing that this guardian was different from the other guardians.

Gunther is more humane, can laugh and get angry, and he is also the Guardian who has the most contact with the Lanterns.

"If it was Gunther, things might not be as bad as you say!"

"Of course!"

Because Gunther himself is looking for other lantern beasts.

Martin felt amused. The Guardians tried their best to maintain the Green Lantern Corps, but they never stopped searching for the Lanterns in secret.

And the abandoned female guardian found the Purple Lantern Beast Plunderer many years ago.

The Yellow Lantern Parallax Monster was suppressed by the Guardian himself in the central energy battery.

The orange-light beast, the lustful python, was found by a cowardly and greedy alien.

The red lantern beast, the blood-slaughtering bull, just jumped out.

The guardian Gunther, who has not abandoned his feelings, has been looking for the blue lantern beast Yao Shihuang.

Hal's mentor, the former greatest Green Lantern Abin Sur, had already found the Green Lantern Beasts and organized a special abstract legion.

The Guardians Gunther and Abin Su are there to defend against the coming Blackest Night, and several other legions are more or less targeting the Green Lantern Corps.

If the guardians continue like this, the seven legions will definitely have to fight each other in the future, which is the so-called Lantern War.

Martin couldn't think as far as the Darkest Night yet, but he also felt that he needed to do something to prevent the situation from getting out of control.

After all, not to mention that Hal is an Earthling, it is very likely that other lantern groups will target the Earth.

The fact that the spirit of existence is hiding on Earth alone means that Earth is doomed to be unable to escape the impact of the Lantern Group War.

"Then let's go now!"

There was a way to solve the failure of this mission, and Hal suddenly became excited. He didn't want to stay on Ajurys Star 3 anymore and couldn't wait to return to Oa Star to report.

"That's good. I'll go ask everyone if they've encountered anything unusual."

When Martin was on Earth, he didn't have any feelings about Apokolips. Perhaps it was because he knew that Darkseid would definitely attack Earth, so he didn't think about it any more.

But today he couldn't help but wonder where Apocalypse might appear in the universe.

With this thought in mind, the two walked out of the bar, ready to fly out of the atmosphere of Ajurui Star 3 and return to Oa Star through a jump.

But before they took off, they heard the sound of an alarm, and then a group of people wearing Interstellar Court guard uniforms left the planet Ajurui Star No. 3 in groups.

Hal subconsciously looked at Martin, and just as he was about to ask what happened, a communication came from the Green Lantern Ring.
