The red-robed man was wearing a robe made of unknown material. The red robe was decorated with gold lines, and a golden skull and an upside-down cross were embroidered on the back, giving off a strange aura.
The man was covered in a red robe, with his face completely hidden under the hoodie. The cable was connected to the inside through the opening of the hoodie, and it was unknown what part of the face it was connected to.
The man in red robe kept his head down, with his hands making a strange hand seal, as if he was casting a spell or praying.
After a while, the basement door opened and a dark-skinned woman walked in. It was A25 Mandawalla, a capable member of the Sky Eye Society.
She walked over to the red-robed figure, her eyes fixed on the sphere hanging in the air.
"How is it? Are there any results?"
The red-robed man's deep voice came from under his hoodie: "Not even close."
Waller seemed a little dissatisfied: "You said the same thing when I came last time."
The red-robed man was silent for a moment, as if thinking. After a moment, he answered again: "A little closer to success than last time."
Waller swore that if the other party's abilities were not special and were not under her jurisdiction, she would have shot him dead.
The red-robed man seemed to be able to sense her thoughts and said a few more words: "This ring is very special. It has its own consciousness. Like some special artifacts, it will search for its owner on its own.
I wasn't the one it chose, so I could only control it with magic, but that also prevented me from unleashing its full power. Being able to achieve this point is the best result of my efforts."
Waller is naturally aware of this, but as a qualified manager, she naturally wants to squeeze out all the value of her subordinates. Even if the other party is only cooperating with her temporarily, she will find ways to squeeze it dry.
"Since it's as special as a divine weapon, it means it has the same power as a divine weapon, right?"
The red-robed man didn't say anything, as if he agreed.
Waller struck while the iron was hot: "In that case, if we can fully master it, it would be equivalent to fully mastering a divine weapon, right?"
The red-robed man finally spoke: "I understand what you mean, but forceful measures cannot completely solve this problem. The only way to solve this problem is to find the person chosen by the ring."
"Who?" Waller demanded.
The red-robed man shook his head. "I don't know. The ring has its own criteria for choosing its owner. I can't interfere with that."
Waller wasn't satisfied with the answer: "At least you should know what its selection criteria are, right? There are nearly 10 billion people in the world, and I believe there must be someone who meets its criteria."
This was indeed true. The red-robed man was silent for a moment, then replied, "Based on my recent observations, the energy properties of this ring are related to willpower. I speculate that the stronger the willpower, the more likely it is that the ring will favor one."
Waller pondered, "If that's the case, wouldn't a warrior with a lot of experience be more likely to be recognized?"
Seeing the other party nod, Waller didn't waste any words and immediately called his subordinates, asking them to select a group of outstanding agents from within the organization. In addition to screening out people with strong willpower, he also required these members to have unreserved loyalty to the organization.
What she wanted was a tool who was completely loyal to them, not to create a new superhero.
Thinking of this, Waller suddenly asked, "If I find someone who meets the requirements, but the other party does not obey my orders, can I control him with nanobombs?"
Because the red-robed man said that the energy of the ring is related to willpower, Waller can't help but worry that the chosen one will escape her control under the influence of the ring. Threatening others with their lives to do things is Waller's specialty. After all, she never believes in loyalty.
The red-robed man warned, "I advise you to give up this foolish idea. Although I don't know the specific function of this ring, judging from the energy intensity contained within, your nanobomb is a joke!"
Waller frowned, not paying attention to the red-robed man's rude remarks. She just thought that if the nanobomb could not deter the ring user, she would have to come up with another way to deal with him/her.
What happened in the past period of time made her realize how difficult it is to control these superheroes. The Suicide Squad is still more effective. If there is no real means of checks and balances, Waller would rather leave the ring empty than use it.
Otherwise, if another uncontrollable superhero is created, it will be a huge loss for the Sky Eye Society.
So, where have all the superheroes gone?
Ever since Cyborg and the others disappeared, the Eye Society, led by Waller, has never found any news about those superheroes and the Suicide Squad members.
And no one knows what means those people used, even the detonator of the 010 nano bomb that controls the brains of the suicide squad members has lost its effect.
"By the way, there is one thing I haven't told you yet." The man in red robe suddenly remembered something interesting.
"what's up?"
"I remember you gave the spacecraft to an aircraft manufacturing company?"
"What's the problem?" Wallachi asked. On the spaceship, apart from the corpse of an alien who had been dead for a long time, there was also the ring in front of them.
The two most valuable items were taken by the Tianyan Society, and the remaining spacecraft was split up and sold to several civilian airlines for technology transactions.
The Tianyan Society believed that it had obtained the most valuable thing, so it was extremely generous in handling the spacecraft.
Waller heard some time ago that the people at Ferris Aircraft Manufacturing Company had already come up with some results and seemed to be working closely with the Air Force department recently.
"When I was using the ring for clairvoyance, I saw another person's perspective." The red-robed man's words surprised Waller. "That person's name is Hal Jordan, a pilot. The ring somehow connected to his vision, which is very unusual... I suspect that person is the one chosen by the ring. You should pay attention to him."
Waller frowned: "Where is he now?"
"Philadelphia." There was a hint of gloating in the red-robed man's voice. "There is a war going on there."
Chapter 586 Lamp Ring
Waller didn't talk to the red-robed figure for long, and soon she left the basement.
After she left, the man in red robe continued to work, but not long after, he felt something was wrong, but he didn't realize what was wrong for a moment.
Behind him, there were two people who had been standing there quietly for some time. They were Dane and Diana.
The two looked at each other and exchanged glances. There seemed to be a smile in Diana's eyes.
Suddenly, the man in red robe seemed to sense something strange behind him and turned around quickly. As soon as he turned around, he was scared to death.
However, before the other party could shout, the Sword of the God of Fire had already been unsheathed and pierced the red-robed man directly in the face.
The hoodie was immediately cut open by the sharp sword energy, revealing the face of the red-robed man. On the face pierced by the Sword of the God of Fire, dense wires and cut skin were exposed, and underneath was a metallic skeleton.
Diana frowned: "Is he a robot?" She was not so ignorant about humans. She knew that there were humanoid tools that were purely mechanically operated.
"He's a cyborg." Dane motioned for her to draw her sword.
The Vulcan Sword was drawn out, and drops of blood dripped from the blade, proving that she had stabbed a human.
The sword of the god of fire had already penetrated the brain stem of the red-robed man. The man was dead and his body fell downwards due to gravity.
As he fell, the man in red robe pulled the cable connected to his face, and at the same time pulled the "repeater" in front and the cable at the other end to move at the same time. This movement seemed to loosen the spherical seal that was sealing something, causing the ring inside to break the seal and come out.
The ring shone brightly and then flew towards Dane like a meteor. He opened his palm and caught it in an instant.
"What is this?" Diana came over curiously. Dane clenched his palm, and the lantern ring rushed around in it, shaking, leaving only afterimages.
"Emotional spectrum, the power of green light." Dane explained briefly.
The lantern ring thrashed around in his palm, trying to slip it onto Dane's ring, but he refused.
The lantern ring had some basic intelligence, and it seemed to know that Dane didn't want to wear it at the moment, so its attempt to rush forward quickly turned into an attempt to escape.
But it was still suppressed by Dane's palm.
"Emotional spectrum...why have I never heard of it?" Diana frowned.
"Because we don't refine this energy." Strictly speaking, magical power is also closely related to conscious activities such as emotions and feelings, but it does not require separating various representative energies and purifying them like the emotional spectrum.
"You can think of it as alien magic. The most basic ability of green light is to materialize what people imagine in their minds."
"Anything?" Diana exclaimed in surprise.
Dane nodded. "Anything."
Diana's eyes changed immediately. If humans possessed the power of this thing, it would definitely not be a good thing for the Amazons.
"What do you want this for?" Diana asked curiously. As far as she could see, Dane didn't seem to need such a thing.
Dane didn't explain. He grabbed the lantern ring, and the lantern ring that was originally trembling in his palm suddenly became quiet.
If the wearing conditions are met, the lantern ring can actually be tamed, which can be seen from the yellow lantern ring.
The Yellow Lantern Ring can control the heart of anyone who wears it, turning them into a beast driven by the emotion of fear, but in Sinestro's hands, it is very obedient.
The properties of the Green Lantern Ring and the Yellow Lantern Ring are extremely similar, so they are also very similar in this respect.
Dane put the ring on his finger and instantly gained the ability to transform willpower into matter. He first materialized a sword. Except for the green color, the style of this sword was exactly the same as the Sword of Vulcan.
He handed the green Vulcan Sword to Diana. Generally speaking, the things that are materialized by the Green Lantern Ring will not leave the user, and most of the time they will be connected to the ring to facilitate the continuous supply of willpower.
But a strong enough willpower can support the embodied creation to continue to exist independently of the creator.
Diana reached out to take the Sword of Vulcan, and suddenly collided her own Sword of Vulcan with the green sword. The two swords made a sound of metal clashing, and both were intact.
This green sword is a true sword of the God of Fire!
And such a magical weapon was created by Dane casually, without even taking a second!
Diana thought she had realized the horror of this thing, but now it seems that her understanding was not enough.
After a moment, Dane canceled the manifestation of the Sword of Vulcan, and the green sword disappeared in Diana's hand.
"You don't have to worry too much. The reason why the sword I manifested can compete with the Sword of the God of Fire is because I have a strong willpower and I know the Sword of the God of Fire very well. If someone else were to do that, they might not be able to achieve such an effect."
The degree of reality of what is manifested by the colored light is related to the strength of the imaginer's willpower and the imaginer's level of knowledge.
If the imaginer has a very good understanding of the imagined object, even if his willpower is not strong enough, he can still materialize a creation that is so realistic that it can be mistaken for the real thing.
It's like a nuclear bomb. Its principle is not difficult and its structure is easy to analyze. If a person can fully grasp the structure and principle of a nuclear bomb, then even if his willpower is not strong, he can materialize such a weapon, and its power is no different from that of a real nuclear bomb.
However, no matter how simple a nuclear bomb is, it involves a lot of parts. And because it involves atomic energy, one also needs to be able to imagine the reaction process of atomic fission, which is a bit cumbersome.
These processes may seem simple, but it is difficult for the brains of carbon-based organisms to fully reproduce them in a short period of time.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Green Lanterns who do not have much knowledge about this type of weapons tend to manifest simpler cold weapons or thermal weapons that do not involve deep reactions of matter.
Of course, if there is really such a need, you can also force yourself to imagine a nuclear bomb. As long as your willpower is strong enough, the part of the color light energy that you don't understand will automatically help the user make up for it. This is also the method used by most Green Lanterns.
Great effort can create miracles. The user only needs to use great effort, and the colored light will be responsible for creating the "miracles".
Most Green Lanterns are reckless, and there are very few who are purely technical. Moreover, if the colored light creation is to continue to exist, the creator needs to continuously output willpower. Human willpower is not inexhaustible, and people will also become tired if they use their willpower excessively.
Not to mention that most people are simply unable to power the ring directly with willpower, and the lamp ring needs to be charged separately. So although the lamp ring seems to be omnipotent, its actual usage is still greatly restricted.
After listening to Dane's story, Diana's worries eased a little, but she was still wary of such a magical thing as the lamp ring. No, strictly speaking, she was wary of Dane.
"You're not telling me this just for explanation, are you?"
Dane smiled at her, put his palms together, and when he opened them again, a new Green Lantern ring was lying in the palm of his other hand.
"I am ready to let a human possess its power."
Chapter 587 Amazon's Choice
The Green Lantern Ring has many functions, one of which is to copy a Green Lantern Ring with the same function for others to use temporarily.
Moreover, this replica ring can be used directly without the user's willpower, but the drawback is that the ring will disappear directly after the energy is exhausted. It can only be used for a few hours in high-intensity battles, and the specific usage time limit depends on the intensity of the battle.
However, Dane's situation was different. He had once made a lantern ring by himself, so he was familiar with the manufacturing process and the entire technical principles of the lantern ring.
Therefore, the green lantern ring copied by him can last for a long time. If the copied ring itself has the user to provide it with willpower as an energy source, it can even be a real creation that lasts forever.
However, the lantern ring made in this way will greatly consume the energy stored in the original lantern ring itself. In order to create such a replica ring, Dane allocated half of the energy stored in the lantern ring itself to the new ring.
If Dane's own willpower was not enough to replace the lamp furnace battery to power the lamp ring, he would not have used such an extravagant method to build a new ring.
When Diana saw the new ring and heard what Dane said, she immediately grabbed it without saying a word!
However, Dane seemed to have anticipated this and immediately held the ring in his palm, preventing Diana 783 from succeeding.
Diana looked at him intently. "Even Amazons can use this ring."
She didn't know what Dane was planning, but she could guess that he must have some other arrangements on this ring, maybe a backdoor or something. But even so, the ring that could materialize imagination into reality was still a very powerful artifact.
As the Amazon Queen's thinking online, she naturally wants to take it into her own hands.
But Dane would not do as she wished: "Excuse me, but no one in Amazon can meet the requirements of the Lantern Ring except you."
"Are you underestimating the will of the Amazons?"
"The one I choose won't be captured by Calypso's power," Dane reminded her seemingly unintentionally, but this made Diana lose her temper.
Artemis was already the second most powerful warrior among the Amazons. If even she couldn't resist Calypso's mental magic, it would be even more impossible for other warriors to do so.
Although Calypso borrowed some of Radon's power when exerting the power of chaos on Artemis, it still proved that this ability was powerful.
Even Diana was not sure whether her willpower could withstand the invasion of the power of chaos without the protection of the Starlight Crown.
This is not like in "Shazam 2", where even a middle school student could resist Calypso's mind control. In the current timeline, her abilities are not compromised in the slightest.
"Why would you give this thing to a human?"
"To fight against the gods, we need to unite all the forces we can. You should have figured it out by now. Humans and sea people are not our enemies."
Diana frowned, "I am the daughter of Zeus!"
