Superman from the comics: Starting with the Black Robe

Chapter 497 Hal Jordan from Earth

"Mars, Ron Jungs?"

At this point, Jor-El, who was quite friendly to everyone except enemies, suppressed the agitation of the Kryptonian warriors around him and looked at what was possibly the strongest individual in the history of Martians: "I saw your name in the report submitted by Kara. What do you want?"

Having overcome their fear of fire, reason and morality ultimately triumphed over instinct, making the Martian Hunters more advanced individuals than the original Burning Martians.

His will radiated outwards along the mental network, and under his mental broadcast, the burning Martians who were killing each other and causing endless casualties extinguished the fire in their hearts and returned to the appearance of the green Martians.

His presence in front of Jor-El was not only to buy Superman some time, but also because he had his own insistence: "A very difficult and unreasonable request."

This difficult-to-speak request, when explained clearly, was nothing more than a plea for mercy: "Could you spare Ganser's life?"

"He is almost the culprit who brought about the extermination of your race, and he may even have done the same thing elsewhere in the universe."

Joe Al was surprised by how quickly these green Martians had changed their minds: "And you want us to let him go?"

"He may have made a mistake, but he also just let us Martians off the hook once at that time."

Martian Manhunter had seen it all clearly: "Guardian Ganther had the power to do something far worse to our race, but he didn't do it like Apasar did."

The Guardian Apasa has committed many evil deeds, so it is only right to send him straight to the land of Khronmir (the god of fire and death in Martian beliefs).

But in the eyes of Martian hunters, the guardian Ganther did not deserve such a crime.

Given the Guardians' strength at the time, they could have completely exterminated the original Burning Martians, those inherently cruel and harmful creatures, to eliminate any future troubles.

However, Ganther did not do so at the time, which can be considered as giving the Martians a second chance.

An opportunity to pursue philosophy and the mysteries of existence without being bound by one's own cruel nature.

Without Ganther suppressing the Martians' nature, perhaps the Burning Martians at that time would have simply burned hundreds of neighboring star systems in utter madness before heading towards complete destruction.

However, the Martians, who had a weakness for fire, developed a true civilization and society, transforming from fire demons who lived and fought endlessly in the inferno into a race with real thoughts.

so----

"Stop, stop, stop—"

Joe Al interrupted Martian Manhunter's long-winded speech: "These kinds of moral and philosophical ramblings are something I would have been interested in back when I was a scientist."

Now, Jor-El is no longer just a researcher, but the true ruler of this Kryptonian empire on the road to revival.

The rulers no longer had to consider the path of good and evil, but rather the path of survival.

So, can Jor-El grant Martian Manhunter's request and let Ganther off the hook?

The answer is, of course, yes. "That's a huge favor."

Joe Al's words were direct and forceful: "And this is the only time."

"I know."

Martian Manhunter bowed solemnly to Jor-El.

Killing Ganther would be a good idea, but as Ganther himself said, the Guardians will fill in for him. So it makes no difference whether Ganther dies now or when he destroys Oa later.

Why not do this Martian a favor?

As for the idea of ​​releasing a tiger back into the mountains, Ganther is not qualified for that now, as he already has half of what he's looking for firmly in his grasp.

The anti-life equation will soon be his.

If we were to say who experienced the greatest emotional fluctuations during this conversation, it would undoubtedly be Ganser, who was the focus of the discussion between the two sides.

His face was covered in bruises, the result of being ganged up on by the Kryptonians in the battle just now.

As Apasa said, Kryptonians are a race with extremely powerful and dangerous potential. When their best members come together, even the Guardians cannot withstand them.

The wounds on his face effectively concealed the turmoil in his heart; he was indeed the one who should feel guilty and ashamed.

The Martian before him overcame his own cruel and fire-loving instincts and instead regained control of himself with the mind of a green Martian.

Ganser wondered if, had he not done those things to the Martians, perhaps those primitive, burning Martians would have eventually found inner peace during their evolution.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in many things. Once you've made a mistake, you've made a mistake, and there's no chance to make amends.

After these Martians mutated and went out of control, North America's military and political power was once again handed over to the people who originally held it. After a brief period of chaos, the military naturally took notice of the chaos in Metropolis.

With the Martians no longer secretly stabilizing the situation, the action-oriented members of the military began to take their own steps.

Unlike Tony's universe, which has enjoyed a long period of peace, resulting in all political entities, including S.H.I.E.L.D., having extremely outdated military equipment, the Flashpoint universe is, without exaggeration, equipped with military capabilities that are essentially from the mid-game of World War III.

At this moment, dozens of dark shadows had taken off from various hidden airports on land and sea, soaring across the sky and flying straight toward the metropolis.

These fighter jets were reverse-engineered from the aircraft that Abin Sue first crashed on Earth and miraculously survived, and their performance is almost comparable to the Amazonian stealth fighters.

As these dozens of fighter jets maneuvered within the atmosphere, almost all of them were shot down at close range by the Kryptonians.

Those flying higher into space above the metropolis were even more vulnerable, as Kryptonians could move much faster in a vacuum than within the atmosphere.

Each fighter jet carries bombs far more powerful than any atomic weapon ever created in human history.

This was an experimental weapon, originally intended as a super gift for the Atlantean fleet, but it temporarily lost its use after Superman quelled the war between the Amazons and Atlantis at the speed of light.

But now they can come in handy again—

"This is Hal Jordan, I've reached my attack position."

Of these dozens of fighter jets, only one survived the Kryptonians' encirclement and pursuit, bypassing the dense outer defenses and penetrating directly into the interior of Metropolis: "Are there any other wingmen who can provide cover?"

"This is Sam Lane."

The voice that came from the other end of the communicator was that of a middle-aged man with a strong voice. This tough military man, who shared the same last name as Louis Lane, simply sighed: "You're the last one—good luck."

For a Kryptonian like Jor El, the contents of that fighter jet were completely obvious. He nodded and signaled one of his guards to deal with the enemy aircraft that had luckily intruded.

Saying "solve" naturally means "destroy," so Martian Manhunter stepped forward once again: "Let me do it!"

He could use his telepathic abilities to control the other party to return directly, instead of launching a pointless suicide attack.
