Chapter 723 Magical Girl Howl and the Lightning Centipede
Hal in the main universe had never had such a strange feeling.
He meant that... he had been through a lot, but never felt qualified to be a mentor or anything like that.
He made mistakes and paid the price for them, but eventually everyone accepted him back: it's a long story, a long history.
He had always considered himself a humble apprentice, but at this very moment, he witnessed with his own eyes, through his help or rather, with just a few words, that another version of himself from a parallel universe suddenly made some kind of awakening. This feeling was utterly bizarre.
Luther remained silent, his earlier sarcastic demeanor completely gone. All of this was a projection of Hal's inner thoughts within the Alliance, thus every character's actions inevitably followed his will.
Luther took the infant Darkseid out of the petri dish, and the baby coldly stared at Hal of the Alliance:
"You are not worthy of my power, you inferior copy, you worthless piece of trash."
Hal, from the main universe, met the baby's eyes—those crimson eyes, so familiar. He realized that this Darkseid baby might have originally been just a projection of memories, but now the true Darkseid will had possessed it, giving it real power.
"Be careful," he warned Hal of the Alliance, "This enemy might soon..."
The next moment, the Darkseid baby grew right before their eyes, growing larger and larger, even exceeding Darkseid's actual size.
The room, the experiment, and even Luther in the memory space—everything was crushed by the ever-growing body, until Darkseid grew to a size that blotted out the sky.
Hal from the main universe looked up at the shadow.
Immediately afterwards, he heard Hal's low laughter.
"Hehehehe..."
You're laughing like a madman, I hope it really works.
The colossal Darkseid exhaled a breath that was like a whirlwind.
In the main universe, Hal was forced to raise the Green Lantern Ring to create a barrier, and he heard Darkseid say:
"What are you planning to do? Seek help from your bat mother?"
He stretched out his hand, a palm the size of a person, and grabbed straight at the two of them.
Hal from the main universe took two steps back. This was his own consciousness in a parallel universe; it would be too much to ask him to fight Darkseid's main consciousness here.
"What are you planning to do?" He turned to Hal, urging him, "Do something! Relax, believe in yourself."
The other party asked the imaginary Luthor for Darkseid energy, but ended up getting nothing.
Nevertheless—Hal of the main universe wasn't exactly an expert in the field of mind, but at least in this respect he felt something was very wrong.
If Hal of the Alliance truly awakens in the realm of the mind and truly regains control of this space of willpower, then he should be able to have whatever he desires, just like how he conjured a knife out of thin air in this space of willpower just now. If he wants Darkseid energy, he can have Darkseid energy.
Luther should have obediently poured the power from that Darkseid baby into Hal and the others, and then let the real Darkseid appear and defeat him. That's the script that should have happened after the true awakening!
But now they've gotten nothing when they asked for energy, which means that Alliance Hal has also awakened nothing. Now that Darkseid has come knocking, they can only keep running. What other options do they have besides running away and waiting for Alliance Hal to awaken?
Damn it, I should have found a way to wake them both up while I was outside...
As Hal was thinking this, Darkseid had just finished saying, "Go find your mother to save you," and he had also just said something about running away.
But just then, he heard Hal beside him say, "Looking for Mother Bat to save you? Yes, you're right!"
Ok?
Hal from the main universe was stunned for a moment, and then he saw himself from the parallel universe fly into the air and then open his arms.
Countless green lights emanated from his body, turning him into a green radiant being.
Next, he started with his feet. A brand new pair of green light boots appeared on his feet.
Hal then ran his hands across his lower abdomen and down to his chest.
A brand new set of green lantern armor with unexplained gold patterns appeared on his body, his hands moved over his shoulders, followed by a set of tiger-head shoulder armor.
After a whole magical girl transformation... wait, why didn't Darkseid attack when Hal transformed?
Hal from the main universe turned his head and saw that Darkseid's palm, which was reaching out to the two of them, was frozen in place, unable to move forward even half a step.
This is a key characteristic of how Alliance Hal successfully manipulated his own willpower space.
Immediately afterwards, Alliance Hal opened his palm and slammed it heavily into the air. With a soft bang, a huge plume of white smoke enveloped the entire battlefield.
A Batman mom, about the same size as Darkseid, appeared in mid-air with her enormous chest.
She lifted her leg, revealing her tomahawk-shaped legs beneath her short skirt, and then—
It roared like a wild beast.
Darkseid!
In the main universe, Hal heard his parallel universe counterpart unleash a deafening roar. Then, he clasped his hands together, and endless green light emanated from his palms, covering Batman's mother with a Susanoo armor.
Everything in the consciousness space changes according to the thoughts of its master, and even Darkseid is no exception.
Previously, when the willpower of the Alliance Hal propelled his body to become so enormous, Darkseid did not feel anything was amiss and therefore did not put up any fierce resistance.
And now, this decision has cost him a certain price.
"drink!!!"
With Hal's roar, countless arms stretched out from behind Bat Mother. These arms were raised high and then slammed down like meteors towards Darkseid below. Upon seeing this, Hal from the main universe realized that the outcome was already decided.
He realized without being taught that he could also summon a bat father, and then used the same green light energy to give the bat father a layer of armor.
This was the authority granted to him by the Alliance Hal; his willpower was finally able to participate in this battle and unleash its full power.
If Darkseid's main consciousness were capable of fighting both of them alone, the stalemate wouldn't have lasted so long.
He entered Hal's consciousness and protected him when he was at his weakest. Darkseid had no chance of turning the tide.
There shouldn't be any more problems.
Probably not...
boom!
"You are mine, you belong to me now, everything in my mind is my power, Darkseid—"
He heard his own deafening voice from a parallel universe: "May the green light always be on, shining forever!"
Darkseid and the Bat Mother controlled by Hal of the Alliance collided with a tremendous force, the immense energy turning the entire space into a void.
Hal from the main universe opened his eyes and realized that they had successfully escaped that consciousness space. He looked at the Alliance Hal, who was in Darkseid state, and saw that his obsidian-like skin receded like the tide, turning into a slightly dark complexion.
The Dawn Lantern was still lying there like a dead dog when Green Lantern Jessica rushed over in surprise: "You're awake?"
"My God." Immediately afterwards, Hal heard Batman's voice: "Hal Jordan is awake."
Chen Tao broke through space and appeared on the timeline before him.
He can finally show up now, because the timeline is about to end in a few minutes.
Although he didn't know what his own HAL and the main universe HAL encountered in the consciousness space, he knew that he was not good at dealing with this kind of complex mental space.
When the timeline ends, he will most likely bring back a comatose Howl, followed by Howl's classic scene of sleeping the entire time.
but no.
Things didn't go as he expected; Hal Jordan had woken up and was looking at him.
He had just heard Hal's voice; even while fighting in the Will Space, he had shouted his complete Green Lantern Oath.
This time, Hal Jordan didn't get beaten up after shouting the green light pledge.
They did not suffer a crushing defeat after unleashing their full potential.
He did not completely fall into the fabricated false reality after breaking through the illusion.
He actually succeeded, so naturally, yet so absurdly.
"To make a long story short, Diana," Chen Tao called out to Diana while turning to Hal in the main universe, "I know this might sound a bit gruesome, but the truth is we have to leave this timeline now because it's about to have no future. I need to take the entire Justice League away from this doomed future in an attempt to rebuild the timeline."
As he spoke, he beckoned to Wonder Woman, who had two heads. The main universe Wonder Woman took a deep breath: "Listen to me, Hal..."
"What the *** is that!"
Hal in the main universe was about to explode. After seeing Wonder Woman with two heads, the immense disgust and fear almost made him vomit.
Without hesitation, he raised the green light ring and attacked Chen Tao. In an instant, a huge green beam of light exploded on Chen Tao's face: "How dare you? How dare you do such a thing to my teammate in front of me?"
"Listen to me, Hal, don't make a move yet..." At this moment, the female warrior from the main universe deeply realized how Chen Tao and his Justice League had felt when they faced the Justice League from the main universe.
No matter what he said, Hal in the main universe just kept saying that he would rescue her.
To be honest, even the heroine herself didn't have the courage to look at herself now, but she knew what was important and urgent, and she had to persuade Hal.
She looked at Chen Tao standing beside her.
He gestured towards Hal in the main universe, meaning:
This is what you should do.
Hal was still roaring, "Do you know who I am? I am Hal Jordan, fear my divine light!"
As he spoke, he launched an attack on Batman. He was extremely stressed and tense.
The ring on his palm shone brightly, and then the next moment, he was punched in the face by Hal from behind.
The sudden attack knocked him to the ground. The superheroine sighed; she knew it was impossible to persuade him in the current situation, and while she knew her own predicament, it was certainly too terrifying for Hal to bear.
To prevent the battle from escalating, dragging on for too long, or causing more misunderstandings, she had no choice but to take matters into her own hands.
As if teleporting, she appeared behind Hal in the main universe alongside the Alliance Heroine. Her four arms began to pound Hal's back violently. Under the immense and monstrous strength of the Alliance Heroine, Hal immediately fainted and fell into a deep, infant-like sleep.
Ultimately, she is Wonder Woman from the main universe, possessing a perfect grasp of her powers and being familiar with her teammates.
She picked up Hal and said, "Let's go, to the next one." She then said to Chen Tao, "After we find all our teammates—"
"We need to talk."
The Alliance Heroine said, "Can't you carry Hal yourself?"
"Could you hold this for me for a moment?" the female warrior from the main universe said.
……
……
……
One, two, three, four, five.
The Alliance Flash stretched out his leg.
His buttocks extended from his hindquarters, and then more legs grew out of his buttocks, standing upright on the ground, making Barry look like a giant, multi-bodied caterpillar.
He knew that his transformation was somewhat terrifying and horrifying, but he had no choice. His innate weakness forced him to resort to some unorthodox methods to contend with his counterpart in the main universe, even if only temporarily.
Now that Batman has made his decision, he has an obligation to ensure it is carried out. Although Lex Luthor is not an expert on the Speed Force, they obtained a manuscript left behind by Reverse-Flash, the result of Barry and Luthor's joint research.
There are generally two ways for speedsters to increase their speed.
First, increase the Speed Force within your body. This is the simplest method. In Flashpoint, Reverse-Flash stole the speed of the main universe's Flash, Barry Allen, preventing him from being fast enough to reboot the world immediately after regaining the Speed Force.
After Batman killed Reverse-Flash with his sword, the Speed Force returned to the Flash, boosting his speed back to the level of time travel.
The simplest and most brutal way to steal speed is through similar methods. The gorilla Groud plundered the Speed Force of the entire city in a similar way, draining all the Speed Force from the city and making everyone slower than a tortoise.
Secondly, it is necessary to increase the container of the Speed Force, so that a fraction of the Speed Force can exert a greater effect.
For example, what Red Death did. He used the Speed Force to assemble a large number of Speed Force vehicles, which allowed him to share his speed with these vehicles, thus enabling him to pursue and intercept The Flash.
For example, right now.
The Alliance Flash stretched out one leg after another.
He stood before himself in the main universe.
"Want to have a running race, Barry?"
