Chapter 135 Where is Karl El?
"idiot!"
Seeing that Karl El had taken most of the attack and was now unconscious, and that the strength of his bio-field was dropping drastically, Kara realized that the two of them would have a hard time escaping.
Kara isn't worried about Karl's injuries right now; her cousin survived a cardiac arrest.
What's more, his heart is still beating.
Just fifteen minutes ago, it was Karl El who was carrying his heavy load.
Now, Kara has to prepare to carry her unconscious cousin and try to escape the battlefield.
However, the Green Lanterns in the distance did not give her that chance.
The light curtain that spanned the entire star system rose again, and the spectral range of the yellow star was changed once more. Kara, who was preparing to escape at full speed, only felt a wave of weakness.
The massive planet behind them materialized a pair of hands with a light of will far exceeding the intensity of the entire Green Lantern Corps, carefully holding the two people in its fingertips as if they were two flying insects.
"Let go of Karl El! You idiot!"
Kara, whose waist was held by a large hand, swung her fists and tried her best to pound on the giant hand around her waist, but she quickly stopped this irrational behavior.
The decaying sunlight, the kryptonite radiation, and the two severely injured people—in such an environment, any resistance she offered would be a waste of her own energy.
For now, she can only conserve her strength and wait for a possible opportunity to escape.
At this moment, all that remained in Kara's heart was self-blame and regret.
If he hadn't brought himself along as a burden, Karl El could have easily escaped.
Now, facing the Green Lantern Corps that has gone on a killing spree, he not only risks losing his life and possessions, but the secrets hidden within Kal'El himself will likely be revealed by Krypton's enemies first.
She became Krypton's biggest sinner almost instantly.
swoosh~
Before Calado could even think, the Lanterns had already launched an attack from the other side of deep space.
A sharp, green spike, less than two inches long, shot from the enemy's direction. It had no additional shape; it was simply a high-speed cone, like a bullet.
"Woolen cloth!"
Kara, who was pinned to the spot, was struck squarely in the chest by the bullet-like spike. The sharp point pierced through her armor and into her flesh, and the accompanying kryptonite radiation made her let out a muffled groan.
Fortunately, the AI on the armor had preemptively redistributed the mass to the point of impact, which barely managed to stop this simple yet deadly attack.
Otherwise, this blow could have been a fatal penetrating wound.
Before Kara could even pull out the spike embedded in his body, the miniature AI inside the armor started frantically alarming again.
The attack wasn't limited to that one strike; a second spike followed, smaller than the first and almost entirely transparent green, making it extremely well-concealed.
With the help of AI, Kara's vision did indeed capture the spike and its flight trajectory.
The spike was aimed directly at Kara's forehead.
Unable to move, Kara felt a chill run down her spine; she had come close to death at least three times in one day.
This time, Karl El will no longer be standing in his way.
"That's enough!"
A deep voice resounded throughout the entire galaxy, and the two green glowing hands that had been holding Kara and Joey just moments before transformed back into a huge bubble, enveloping the two of them.
Kara!
The sharp cone shattered under the crushing weight of the seemingly solid green bubble the moment it touched it, forcing the attacker in the distance to halt his assault.
Kara felt the gravity beneath her feet changing rapidly, and the green light bubble was pulled by this gravity into the atmosphere of the planet Mogo.
The once calm atmosphere was now filled with dark clouds, thunder, and a violent hurricane that brought torrential rain down from the sky.
Green Lantern "Mogo" is angry.
After the Guardians revised the Green Lantern Corps' code of conduct—the Book of Oa—the holders of Green Lantern rings are now able to unleash deadly force.
As the planetary will that was once awakened by Abinsu, Mogo, with a planet as its body, has witnessed the changes in the universe over billions of years, and it is not a merciful creature.
Killing a highly threatening enemy in the heat of battle is one thing, but inflicting an execution-like attack on an enemy who has lost the ability to resist, as just now, is quite another.
This is a huge violation of the principle of giving the green light.
Under Mogo's gravitational pull, the green orb landed smoothly on the ground, and the earth cracked open, swallowing the two of them whole.
Meanwhile, the Green Lantern Corps, located in the distance, began to gather towards Mogo, surrounding him from all sides.
The leader, the Supreme Green Light, stepped forward and questioned Mogo, who had shown leniency to his subordinates:
"Green Lantern Mogo, according to the laws of the Book of Oa, we have already sentenced the two Kryptonians who attempted to attack you to death. Why are you stopping us from carrying out their sentence?"
Oh, the Book of Oa—Mogo recalled that thing in his mind, which, to borrow Seneca's words, could generally be called "toilet paper."
However, Mogo now finds that the Book of Oa is still somewhat useful, at least in dealing with these annoying pests in front of him:
"According to the sixth rule of the Book of Oa, Green Lanterns are not allowed to communicate privately, so—Mogo's impatient voice echoed through the universe once again:"
"roll."
"I'm sorry, I cannot comply."
The leader's mechanical voice remained flat and hollow, but Mogo could sense a hint of anger within it:
"According to the revised regulations of the Book of Oa, the Supreme Green Lantern has a higher priority than the regular Green Lantern in the command system, so I order you to hand over those two Kryptonians."
"Why."
The extreme weather conditions within the atmosphere of planet Mogo vanished instantly, leaving only a sigh.
It may have said more today than it did in the entire previous millennium:
"When did things become like this between us, and between the entire Green Lantern Corps, Kilowog?"
It was Kirowog who put pressure on the planet Mogo, the Green Lantern Corps' recruit instructor, who died a year ago in an attack by the Black Lantern Corps.
He was originally a kind-hearted person, but now, after being brought back to life by the guardians, he has become a puppet on a string, like a piece of toilet paper.
Mogo also realized that the appearance of these supreme greenlights meant that the former Green Lantern Corps had begun to decay from the very foundation and had fallen into a state of being merely a name without substance.
"As a member of the Green Lantern Corps, I have to refuse your order based on my courage and conscience, Kirowog."
The entire planet Mogog began to glow green, and the enormous green light ring reappeared.
"Those two Kryptonians are inside me."
Given its planetary-sized size and energy level, even the Green Lights of nearly ten thousand people appear so insignificant:
"If you want it, you'll have to come and get it yourself."
"snort!"
Although the semi-mechanized Green Lantern, Gillowo, whose face was covered in metal, could not reveal his expression, he gave a rare cold snort and waved his hand, leading the Green Lantern Corps in retreat.
"In that case, you'll be responsible for keeping a close watch on those two prisoners."
"We have a signal!"
Just as Joey broke through the Green Lantern Squad's encirclement, Kara's tracker briefly transmitted coordinate information again.
"Teleport me there quickly!"
Although only a dozen minutes had passed since the transmission signal was interrupted, it felt like an eternity to Xinghuo, who was extremely anxious.
Even as she was fully prepared, she didn't forget to criticize Batman, who was completely useless:
"It's all your fault! Why did you let Joey deal with that Kryptonian woman alone!"
.
Faced with Spark's accusations, Bruce, as always, chose to remain silent.
Reason told him that this matter was definitely not that simple, and he shouldn't let Xinghuo put himself in danger.
But reason also told him that trying to reason with the "victim's family" would only get him punched.
Yes, after observing the way Starfire looked at Joey, he understood why Superman, in the distorted reality, had instructed him to keep his distance from Diana.
In their own universes, the three giants tacitly maintained a subtle relationship of mutual ambiguity without ever crossing the line.
As pillars of the Justice League, any two of them getting too close would disrupt the balance of the entire alliance.
He had initially thought that Superman had the foresight to maintain this balance, but now it seemed that he simply didn't want to get involved in emotional entanglements.
In this universe, there is no balance among these new alliances; instead, there are only open conflicts.
The combination of Superman and Wonder Woman might even help solidify this already shaky alliance.
But now it seems that this may not necessarily be a good thing.
There may be even more conflicts within the league in the future.
"Ready? Starfire, Hawkgirl, and the rest of me...:"
Cyborg also realized that something unexpected might happen on the other end, so he chose to send the thousands of newly printed drones over as well:
"1972 units to be teleported this time, countdown 3, 2, y... Holy crap!!"
Steelbone, who was operating the watchtower's teleportation system, let out a strange cry, and the teleportation signal was interrupted again at that moment.
The entire system inside the watchtower began to sound alarms:
"Warning, unauthorized external access. Warning, not..."
"Steelbow, what happened?!"
Everyone present asked Cyborg about it, only to find that sparks were already flying from half of his metal forehead.
This time, the Watchtower's system didn't have a rock generator, but the Steelbone rocked itself!
Strange, garbled symbols began flashing on every screen in the watchtower, but the three people present were all worldly-wise and knew that these were not gibberish.
Language master Batman, Senagans Hawkwoman, and Starfire, who had previously learned foreign languages from Joey, all recognized what these seemingly random patterns were.
This is the first Kryptonian text: "Where is Kal'El?"
