Karl flew over the black mud pool and arrived in front of Tiamat, asking, "How are you feeling now? You should be back to normal by now, right?"
Tiamat nodded, then hugged Karl tightly and said gently, "Thank you, my child. I really didn't want to do that, so thank you for stopping me."
Mebius was immediately filled with three question marks. What was going on? Who was this person, and how did she become the mother of a Kryptonian? Also, what was with this unusual level of intimacy?
Not to mention her, even Karl, who was involved, was a little confused about the situation, so he pushed Tiamat's soft body aside and made her stand in front of him.
Karl was a head taller than Tiamat, so Tiamat was looking at Karl with her cross-shaped eyes.
"It seems you've regained your senses, but I'm not your child. I know you've always been quite lenient in this regard, but my birthplace is really too far away, so I can't possibly be your child, do you understand?"
Tiamat's starry eyes still shone brightly as she said with certainty, "You entered my body and then left again. This is the process of children being born. You even stayed longer than they did, so you are my child."
Carlton immediately felt uneasy. Even without turning around, he could guess the gossipy looks on the faces of the people behind him. Tiamat's words could easily be misunderstood by those who were unaware of the situation.
However, it is precisely in times like these that one should remain calm. Panic will only deepen misunderstandings. Only a calm and composed explanation can salvage one's reputation.
“I don’t think entering the Chaos Tide is a valid claim,” Karl said calmly.
"Alas!" Tiamat's eyes widened, her maternal expression replaced by sorrow: "Was my love a mistake?"
Carl began to feel a bit of a headache. There was nothing wrong with love, of course, and Carl didn't dislike it. But the key was that this love came too suddenly and was so heavy that it was hard to bear.
At this moment, Mebius also flew over. Based on the previous conversation, she roughly guessed the reason for the matter. The Chaos Tide was the black mud under their feet, and it was also the 'organ' through which Tiamat conceived offspring. Karl had entered it, but his non-human values were difficult to understand, which caused this behavior.
“Isn’t this interesting? I said there’s love, and it’s not good to hurt a girl. Why not try to accept it?” Möbius stepped forward and said.
Tiamat immediately looked up at Karl with anticipation.
Carl sighed, finding it difficult to refuse, and said, "Fine, think what you want."
"Mmm!" Tiamat nodded heavily and immediately tried to hug her again.
Carl quickly pressed the other person's head down and said, "I have some things to take care of right now, please understand?"
Tiamat nodded repeatedly, even shrinking behind Karl to avoid disturbing him.
Karl had Tiamat retract the chaotic currents on the ground and then returned to the Justice League.
"Cough...cough," the Flash coughed a few times. Apart from Batman, the expressions of the others were also a little unnatural, and they were all trying to control their gossip.
"Alright, weren't we supposed to be talking about the anti-surveillance agents?" Karl steered the conversation back to business, getting everyone else into work mode.
This method worked very well, and the atmosphere immediately returned to normal. Carl then asked, "Speaking of which, with so many of you here, why don't we see Green Lantern?"
Superman replied, "Oh, Hal went to Oa to seek help from the Green Lantern Corps."
Chapter 215 Little Blue Man
The crisis triggered by the Anti-Monitor is cosmic in scale, and it has countless Shadow Demons under its command. The heroes on Earth alone will inevitably be somewhat overwhelmed. However, precisely because of its wide-ranging impact, this matter does not have to be borne by Earth alone.
The Green Lantern Corps was established by the Martusians using the power of the emotional spectrum. The current Martusians call themselves the Guardians of the Universe and are indeed largely maintaining cosmic peace.
They divided the universe into different sectors and housed their Green Lanterns, making them a force to be reckoned with in the universe. Now that the universe is in crisis, they naturally won't stand idly by.
Carl nodded slightly upon hearing the news. Although those little blue men (the guardians of the universe) had caused quite a bit of trouble, they were a considerable help in this situation.
“The Green Lantern Corps is a force to be reckoned with. Hal should be back soon, and you should be able to see them soon,” Superman said.
It was indeed fast, because within minutes the Justice League's internal communication system rang. It was Hal calling, informing everyone that the Legion members had arrived and were now in the Hall of Justice.
The alliance started walking back. The journey wasn't far, and Karl and the others followed. Soon they saw four people floating on the top of the building.
Three of them were Green Lanterns, Hal was one of them, and Kirowog, whom he had met twice before, was also there. The last one was also an alien, thin with a bird's beak, whom Carl did not recognize.
However, it's not a big deal, because what's more noteworthy than him is the only one among the newcomers who isn't Green Lantern.
He had blue skin, an old appearance, and was very short, less than a meter tall. He wore a loose robe with a large green light symbol printed on it.
He was positioned at the very front, surrounded by the remaining three Green Lanterns, who subtly formed a protective stance. It was clear that his status was higher than that of the Green Lanterns, as he was the Legion's superior.
"Welcome to Earth," Superman greeted them. He recognized all the Green Lanterns and called them by name, but this was his first time meeting the little blue man.
So Superman asked, "Hello, Guardian, what's your name?"
"Just call me the Guardian," the little blue man said, showing no intention of giving his name.
He then said, "You should know very well why I'm here. Let's get straight to the point. The Green Lantern Corps will take over this matter. Tell me everything you know."
The little blue man's tone was very impolite, causing Hal behind him to frown. However, Superman's temper was among the best, so he still politely continued the conversation.
"That's roughly the situation. The Anti-Monitor is very strong. The parallel universe he's in has already been destroyed by him, and he'll destroy even more universes in the future. Even if we want to launch a surprise attack, we'll have to face hundreds of billions of Shadow Demons. To defeat him, we must unite as one."
Superman gave a general retelling of what he knew; there was no point in hiding anything, as cooperation with the Green Lantern Corps was required, so sharing information was essential.
The little blue man had been wearing a stern face, but after hearing these things, his expression became even more unpleasant. Before he came, Hal had told him that this crisis was huge, but he hadn't expected it to be this huge.
The Blue Man's original plan was to come directly and let the Green Lantern Corps take full charge of the matter, allowing the Corps to resolve a cosmic-level crisis on its own, which would greatly help them enhance the Corps' prestige in various sectors.
The little blue man thought, 'If the data the Justice League gave me is accurate, the Legion alone would indeed find it difficult to defeat them. The Justice League and these cosmic survivors understand each other better, so cooperation seems necessary.'
After thinking for a moment, he said to the Justice League, "I understand the situation. The Green Lantern Corps has an unshirkable responsibility to deal with this evil entity that threatens the universe. We will do our best, and Mogo will also join the fight."
The Justice League's eyes lit up immediately.
Mogo is the name of a Green Lantern, but he is much stronger than other Green Lanterns because he is a planet, a planet with life.
A Green Lantern once died on the planet Mogo, but his ring neither flew back to Oa nor went to find a successor; instead, it remained on the planet.
This is because the ring had already chosen its user. When the Green Lantern Ring entered the Earth's core, the entire planet became Green Lantern!
Mogo is the strongest member of the Green Lantern Corps. Many times, he alone is enough to turn the tide of battle. It is said that he possesses the power equivalent to 3599 Green Lanterns combined. The addition of such a powerful figure to the Justice League is undoubtedly good news.
The little blue man was satisfied with everyone's reaction and continued, "Don't worry, as long as you cooperate with the legion's actions, you will definitely achieve victory no matter who you face."
Carl listened to the conversation between the two sides the whole time, but he didn't comment on the little blue man's attitude. He thought it was irrelevant, and it was normal for people to feel uncomfortable that the little blue man had given up his own emotions.
But now he could no longer remain indifferent. If he allowed these unreliable little blue men to take command of the team, who knew what would happen? The other side mentioned Mogo, a powerful combatant, precisely to make their side appear more important and thus increase their influence.
“We have experience in teamwork and are better suited to develop tactics. Shouldn’t it be you who need our cooperation?” Karl said.
The little blue man remained unfazed; this reason was utterly meaningless. He replied, "Perhaps, but you've already failed once, haven't you? In contrast, we, the Green Lantern Corps, have been protecting the peace of the universe. Countless events have proven that we are professionals when it comes to protecting the universe."
“Oh.” Karl feigned disdain and said, “Are you referring to the initial mechanical legion going out of control and slaughtering an entire sector, or to your failed expedition to Apokolips, and thus ignoring Darkseid’s actions?”
The little blue man was shocked. This was an absolute top secret. To cover up these facts, they had even dealt with the people involved. How could someone from another universe know so much about it?
The little blue man, whose weakness had been exposed, tried his best to control his expression, pretending not to know what Karl was talking about, but the effect was limited. The others no longer trusted him. They might not refuse to cooperate, but there was no way they would hand over their precious command authority.
Superman said, "I think we should communicate on an equal footing and work together to find a solution."
Chapter 216 Uncle Da's Daughter
The little blue man's plan to seize command fell through. After glancing at Karl, he still went into the Hall of Justice with the others to discuss the details to come.
The two sides are currently communicating on an equal footing, neither having the right to command the other. However, in order to prevent their plans from interfering with each other, a war meeting is still necessary.
"Your heroes on Earth, along with our Green Lantern Corps, might be able to contact some other organizations in the universe, but even so, our forces are still insufficient. The enemy's numbers are simply too great. If we really want to win, we must fight a swift and decisive battle," the little blue man said, sharing his insights.
The number of Shadowfiends is there, and it's increasing every moment. Even though the little blue men are very confident in the power of the emotional spectrum, they have to admit that they have no chance of winning a war of attrition.
“A blitzkrieg seems to be our only option. We need to choose a good landing spot and concentrate all our forces to launch a surprise attack on the anti-monitor,” Superman said.
This tactic made everyone else frown. It was far too dangerous. They were already at a disadvantage in terms of strength, and now they were going to launch a direct raid on the enemy's base. It was like throwing lambs to the slaughter.
However, this was unavoidable. It wasn't that they didn't want to use better methods, but their operational space was limited. The other universe was just a remnant, and that small area had long been filled with Shadow Demons. There was no safe landing spot at all, so they basically had no choice but to confront them head-on.
Listening to their discussion, Karl felt increasingly unreliable. After weighing the options, he decided that he should stick to the original strategy, even though it was still very dangerous.
“Since launching an attack would mean facing the enemy’s entire force, let’s just change the battlefield,” Karl said.
"Change to another one?" Hal asked, puzzled. "There's only so much space left in the universe, where can we change to?"
Karl said, "Since that place has been destroyed, we should naturally set up the battlefield here. This is your home ground, so you have an advantage."
"no!"
Carl had barely finished speaking when Superman vehemently objected: "We chose to fight the Anti-Monitors to protect the universe. How can we put the universe in danger for some advantage? If the energy within them explodes, the universe will be destroyed, just like yours... I'm sorry."
However, before Carl could say anything, another person stood up and refuted Superman's words.
“No, Superman has a point. Setting the battlefield here not only gives us home-field advantage, but also separates the enemy’s main force, reducing the pressure on us,” Batman said. “These are advantages we should strive for, otherwise our chances of winning are too low. You all know what the consequences of failure are, right?”
Once you fail, you lose everything. Superman isn't unaware of this principle; he's just used to pursuing the perfect solution, no matter how risky it may be.
“Batman, I understand what you mean, but what if the enemy arrives in this universe and immediately uses the red light that appeared before to destroy everything? That would actually cause our universe to be destroyed prematurely,” Superman said.
At this moment, Karl spoke up: "This problem is indeed difficult to solve, but it is not entirely unsolvable. Destroying the universe also requires a certain amount of preparation time. As long as there is an enemy of equal strength present at that time, he will naturally not have time to prepare to destroy the universe."
"You mean, when they get here, the two of us will just go straight in and fight them?" Superman asked.
Of all those present, Carl and he were the strongest. Although Mogo would join later, Superman felt that if he went all out, he should be able to overpower the opponent, so he and Carl were probably the most capable.
However, almost immediately after saying that, Carl refused, saying, "Of course not."
The original Superman went to fight the Anti-Monitor with Superman, but died there. Without sufficient preparation, Carl wouldn't take the risk.
Superman asked doubtfully, "If we're not at the forefront, who else can take on this responsibility?"
Karl spoke calmly, uttering a name.
However, this was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, completely igniting the atmosphere at the scene.
"That's simply impossible."
"Excuse me, I must have been daydreaming. Who were you just talking about?"
"Are you sure you're not joking?"
The crowd reacted quite strongly, for no other reason than that the person Karl was referring to was Darkseid.
The king of Apokolips, a representative figure of the new gods, ignited war across countless worlds, causing the entire Green Lantern Corps to be utterly defeated. At the same time, the Justice League is also inextricably linked to him, as it was his invasion that led these heroes, who were used to fighting alone, to form an alliance.
Now, Carl is actually saying he wants Darkseid to help deal with this crisis. How is that even possible? They simply can't reach a consensus.
After everyone calmed down a bit, Superman pondered for a moment and said, "Well, there are many things that are opposite between our two universes. I don't know if Darkseid has become a good person on your side, but Darkseid would never help us here."
Carl nodded in response, “Indeed, but there are also profound contradictions between the Anti-Monitors and Darkseid.”
