Superman from the comics: Starting with the Black Robe

Chapter 499 Extraordinary Twins

The moment the ring was in his hand, Hal Jordan's willpower shone outwards, protecting his entire body.

In an instant, Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern, felt everything he perceived change drastically: "Cough!"

First, there was the injury. The effects of the penetrating wound were accurately reflected in his brain, and the intense pain made Hal realize that his mouth was already full of blood overflowing from the impact.

"What am I doing—"

After coughing up the blood, the adrenaline surge from the crash gradually subsided, and Hal finally noticed the rather horrifying-looking wound on his body.

Batman, an authority on first aid, quickly interrupted Hal's futile efforts: "Quiet, focus. Your injuries are so severe that you're about to die."

He never imagined that one day he would personally teach the greatest Green Lantern of all time how to use the Green Lantern ring: "Concentrate, focus your will, and use your ring to heal yourself."

"This ring—"

Hal recognized the strange green ring that had suddenly appeared; he had encountered it when he was punished and made a servant for assaulting a superior officer.

In the first-ever alien crash, the alien on board also had a green light ring.

Finally, the military took over under the leadership of the high-ranking alien, Mu Steelbone, and according to the news, his name was something like Abin Sue.

He wanted to ask again how to use this magical item, but before he could speak, as if he had no teacher, the energy in the ring began to reshape his wounds according to his will.

Now Hal had no choice but to believe it: "Could I really be 'the chosen one'?"

This ring seemed to have been made for him from the very beginning.

Batman was delayed for a while, then looked back and found that Superman was already far away. Just as he was about to abandon Hal alone, he noticed how quickly Hal's injuries were healing, and an idea popped into his head: "Is healed?"

As a soldier, Hal naturally wouldn't say no. With his injuries half healed, he gritted his teeth and insisted, "Absolutely no problem!"

Batman said nothing more. If Starfire's relay of the Spirit of Existence's warning was correct, then perhaps they really would need Hal Jordan: "Then come with us."

Carrying the Green Lamp Furnace, Joey moved through the swarm of Kryptonians as if they were nothing, and soon flew to a desert in Africa.

After his previous display of utterly crushing various forces and withstanding a planet-destroying blast from a warship while still appearing perfectly fine, coupled with the fact that Jor-El hadn't given any clear orders, no Kryptonian dared to cause trouble for Joey at the moment.

In this desolate wilderness, Joey had just planted the Green Lamp Furnace in the ground when everything around him began to change dramatically.

The once arid wasteland has been transformed into a lush swamp. A tall, humanoid monster, its body entirely green and formed from vines, plants, and insects, emerged from the mud and stared intently at Joey's figure with its crimson eyes.

This is the Swamp Monster, whom Joey discovered after Doctor Fate visited the Flashpoint universe in the Raven version.

As the representative of "Green of All Things," the collection of all plants in the entire universe of the DC magical side, it had already begun planting trees and creating forests in the African wilderness.

If it weren't for the still somewhat eccentric Starfire coming to his door, Joey had planned to go find him to see if he could recruit an ally.

But so many things happened afterward that Joey completely forgot about the swamp monster and never found any trace of it again.

However, the problem with magic like the Green of All Things is that, without the Spirit of Existence providing the coordinates, relying solely on Joey's Kryptonian vision or other scientific methods, it's likely that this place would never have been discovered.

Looking at this place completely hidden by magic, Joey didn't know whether he should have expected it or not, that the swamp monster, representing the green of all things, was guarding the spirit of existence here. Although this combination was a bit strange, it was also within expectations.

One is the collection of all plant life force, and the other is the source of all living beings. These two things are indeed inextricably linked.

Batman and Hal Jordan arrived shortly after, and the latter was startled again by the Swamp Monster's appearance: "My God, is it alive?"

"He's lived longer than you!"

The swamp monster, connected to the green of all things, is far more alive than Hal, who is badly injured and looks half-dead.

He glanced around at the figures, then stopped what he was about to do: "Where's Koliana?"

In New York, Spark was currently torn between two conflicting ideas: "No! Joey said it's not allowed!"

Her internal struggle was not merely a matter of internal deliberation, but a true battle with the heavens.

"This involves the survival of the entire universe. Do you really want your partner to mess everything up?"

The voice of the Spirit of Being resounded in her heart: "Kolianda, there's no time, we must do this!"

"No!" Starfire hesitated in the Kryptonian facility. "I believe Joey can find a solution! He wouldn't choose to destroy one universe to save the other!"

She said this not only out of trust in Joey, but also out of recognition of their shared values—the very values ​​that led to her being chosen by the Spirit of Existence after she cast aside her hatred: "Besides, you said it yourself, all life has its own value!"

When I say "all life," I naturally mean all living beings in our universe!

The Spirit of Existence truly didn't understand why this girl was so stubborn. It only asked Koliana to help destroy any potential threats her universe might pose to it. Why couldn't it even fulfill such a simple request?

As someone resurrected by the Spirit of Existence and bound to the White Light, Koliana's actions are influenced by the Spirit of Existence of the White Light, but this is just a perfectly normal safety mechanism.

After all, the white light is such a great energy, and as long as both of them are wholeheartedly good, this mechanism doesn't need to be triggered.

However, the two now have slightly different understandings of "goodness".

"Then I'll have to offend you, Corianda!"

The Spirit of Existence had had enough of this arguing. He chose to bypass the will of the Starfire itself and take matters into his own hands: "My existence sustains the existence of all living beings in the universe, including you—! You will thank me sooner or later!"

Just as Starfire was about to take its first step under the control of the white light, a beam of equally orange-red light shot out from the corner, interrupting the connection between the white light and Starfire.

Starfire was somewhat taken aback when it was blasted away by the familiar energy beam. This energy was clearly the ray produced by the Tamaran aliens after converting ultraviolet rays, but who would shoot out such an energy beam?

Amidst the smoke and dust, Xinghuo saw a pitch-black figure rapidly approaching. She had the same orange-red hair and a face exactly like her own.

As the battle commenced, the opponent's high-energy radiation began to activate. In the intense heat, which resembled the burning of a star, the orange hair lost its disguise and turned into a more familiar blackish-purple color. The original emerald green eyes also turned into a dark and dangerous indigo.

At this moment, Xinghuo finally recognized who it was: "This—Comanta?—Impossible!"

Comanta, or "Blackfire" in Earth's language, is Starfire's twin sister, but she should have perished along with the destruction of Tamaran!

Before Xinghuo could even resist, caught off guard, she was grabbed by the throat and pinned to the spot.

"Long time no see, my sister. The good news is, you're not the only surviving Tamaran."

The person with the same face as Xinghuo gripped Xinghuo's throat tightly, the force nearly causing Xinghuo to faint: "And the bad news for you is that I'm the one who survived!"
