Chapter 162 Green Lantern
In Central City, Captain Cold and his gang of rogues, along with two Harleys, confront the Crime Syndicate's death storm and the Ring of Power.
"Our orders are simple and should be a piece of cake for you."
"Level the central city to serve as a warning to those who are still resisting. Can't you even do this simple thing right?"
Deathstorm hovered in the air, his face a black skull, and his head, like Justice League's "Firestorm," was ablaze with flames.
"Don't move, I'll handle the negotiations," Captain Cold said to those around him, glancing at Death Storm. "Because there are hospitals and schools here—"
Death Storm interrupted Captain Cold's words:
"Then what the hell are you guys for?"
Deathstorm's attention was focused on Captain Cold and his team, which was the purpose of his and the Divine Ring's arrival in Central City.
But the Divine Ring flew trembling beside the death storm, pointing at the two Harpies:
"Th-what are those? Have they come into this world too?"
Deathstorm glanced at Harley, then looked sideways at the Divine Ring:
"She killed the Sea King and was the first to enter the tunnel. Didn't you see that, you idiot?"
Upon seeing Harley, Divine Power Ring's legs went weak. After Death Storm's further rebuke, he immediately shrank back like a turtle.
"My attention was on the ever-disappearing world," God's Power Ring argued.
Both Harleys got impatient at the same time:
"Are you two done whispering? If you're done, hurry up and take your heads off and give them to me."
"You—you dare move a muscle!" The Divine Power Ring was so frightened that wrinkles appeared on its forehead. "Hands up!"
Captain Cold couldn't help but slap his forehead. After hearing Harley's words, he knew that a fight between the Rogues and the Crime Syndicate was inevitable.
Now that things had come to this, the "Trickster," who had been obediently following Captain Han's orders without uttering a word, couldn't help but speak up:
"Look at that drug-addicted Green Lantern, how did he even get into the crime syndicate with that pathetic look?"
The sorcerer pointed his thumb diagonally at the Divine Power Ring, his face full of doubt.
Harley guessed, "The Ashes of the Withering."
"He's 'Superba's' kept mistress."
Red and Black Harley glanced at the wretched-looking Power Ring, then thought of Superman's handsome, righteous face that looked exactly like Superman's, and whispered in the sisters' ears:
"Really, sis? If we take this guy down, won't Superba hunt us down all over the world?"
Red and Black Harley scrutinized the Divine Ring with a look of utter curiosity, a look that made the Divine Ring very uncomfortable.
"Don't—don't look at me like that! What kind of look is that?"
"They look like they're going to kill me, I can tell! I have to strike first!"
Seeing the trembling appearance of the Divine Ring, neither Captain Cold nor the two Harleys expected that this guy would take the initiative to attack.
A green light, like a virus, burst forth from the ring of the Divine Power Ring, blasting everyone who was caught off guard away.
Even the Death Storm flying beside the Divine Power Ring didn't react in time; it opened its mouth and cursed:
"You idiot, if you kill them, who will do the work in Central City?"
Among the group of people blown away by the green light of the Divine Power Ring, Captain Cold was the first to retaliate, raising his hand to unleash a blast of icy frost.
Freeze the right arm of the Divine Power Ring.
Thick frost quickly adhered to the right hand of the Divine Power Ring. The cold corroded the nerves in his arm that had been damaged by the ring, making his arm, which had been in constant pain, numb.
"Weather wizard! Cover us, quickly create a thick fog!" Captain Cold shouted.
Captain Cold has already retaliated, and the Rogues and the Crime Syndicate have absolutely no chance of reconciliation.
But the Divine Ring didn't continue its attack on the Rogue Gang. Instead, it looked at the ice encasing its right hand with a worried expression. "The ring has stopped. This ice doesn't hurt me at all—"
Unlike Hal the Green Lantern from Earth 0, the Divine Ring from Earth 3 not only requires charging but also continuously corrodes the host's body.
The ring will only leave the host if the host becomes a monster, loses their rationality, dies, or someone else voluntarily puts the ring on them.
Otherwise, the pain caused by the ring will continue to affect the person wearing it.
The Divine Power Ring was used to being in pain all the time, and Captain Cold's frost gave him a moment's respite.
But the frozen right hand began to wriggle, struggle, and lift up on its own, forcefully breaking the ice.
Amidst the horrified gaze of the divine power ring, the ring emitted a warning sound:
"Energy remaining at 15%, needs recharging, you idiot."
"No, not yet." The already highly tense nerves of the Divine Power Ring were once again jolted by the ring's reminder.
He said, trembling.
He hesitated in the air while his teammate Deathstorm was already fighting the Rogues.
"Need a fog? Captain, it's coming right away!" As soon as the weather wizard finished speaking, a thick fog quickly formed.
"Heatwave" saw flames burning above the Death Storm and charged towards it without hesitation:
"Another one playing with fire? Don't you idiots ever learn a lesson?"
A flame, comparable to the Death Storm, erupted from the chest of "Heat Wave," clashing with it in a powerful counter-attack.
"You think my abilities are essentially limited to arson? Your intelligence is as limited as your abilities," Death Storm mocked.
Playing with fire is just one of the most inconspicuous of his many abilities. "Death Storm," like the Justice League's "Firestorm," has the ability to alter the atomic composition of matter.
Other abilities, such as turning the body into nothingness, absorbing radiation, and having the ability to withstand blows, are also similar to "Firestorm".
At this moment, the "Death Storm" stretched out its hands towards the "Heat Wave" and launched a shockwave that was destructive, blasting the "Heat Wave" to the end of the street.
"Skeleton, take this!" The Trickster flashed behind "Death Storm" and punched the skull's head.
"Idiot." Death Storm easily dodged the punch and slapped "Trickster" in the face.
Fortunately, the "weather wizard" created a dense fog in time, hiding everyone inside.
The two Harleys were blasted away by the green light of the "Divine Ring". The red and black Harley's physical attributes were enhanced, but they were still far inferior to the blue and gray Harley from Earth 3.
She sat on the ground in a daze, and before she could react, an extremely thick fog enveloped the surrounding area.
Fortunately, the two Harleys had been standing together, so even if they were attacked, they would still be together. Blue-Grey Harley took a deep breath of mist.
The white mist formed two vortexes that quickly entered Blue-Grey Harley's nostrils. She planned to suck up all the mist in one go and then deal with the "Divine Power Ring" and the "Death Storm" herself.
But her lung capacity wasn't quite at an exaggerated level; after a few deep breaths, Harley couldn't take it anymore.
"Hey weather wizard, hurry up and clear the fog, I can handle them all by myself."
"Keep your voice down, you'll give away our location! Heaven knows what 'The Outsider' was thinking when he sent you two here. Does he really think you two can be of any help?"
The voice of "Mirror Master" came from not far from the two of them, and he deliberately lowered his voice.
"I'm going to burn these two to a crisp, don't stop me." The voice of "Heat Wave" rang out not far from "Mirror Master".
"Keep your voice down too!" Master Mirror hurriedly said.
The "Death Storm" flew through the air on its own:
"I can't see you, you scoundrels, but I can hear you."
"I can easily convert water droplets suspended in the air into hydrogen, so I advise all of you not to act rashly."
"And you, Captain Cold—"
A streak of fire from "Death Storm" flew towards "Captain Cold":
"I can observe your DNA and rewrite it to strip the cold out of your body."
The fog enveloped everyone, and after Captain Cold let out a scream, the voice of "Death Storm" continued:
"You have lost your superpowers."
"How could this happen—" the "Mirror Master" exclaimed in horror.
Harley listened intently for a while, then stomped her foot, creating a deep crater in the ground, and used the force to rise into the air.
"You who play with fire, we've found you!"
Blue-Grey Harley punched "Death Storm" to the ground, half of its body sinking into the ground.
