Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 692: Hal was deceived and became lame
As the fearful energy continues to be absorbed by the black hole, the once frightening power of Parallax Monster begins to gradually dissipate.

The huge body that originally covered the sky and the sun was now like a deflated ball. The tentacles began to shrink, and the skin lost its original luster and became dull.

"No, no, let me go!"

The parallax monster's voice was trembling and shrill, as if it was the last glimmer of hope struggling in despair. But the black hole ignored its pleas and continued to mercilessly swallow up every ounce of fearful energy.

"Let me go!"

Its voice became weaker and weaker, until the last golden fear energy was completely sucked away by the black hole, and the Parallax Monster completely lost its ability to resist.

It shrunk dramatically, eventually turning into a dry little blue man wearing tattered armor.

This little blue man is one of the Guardians of the Universe of the Green Lantern Corps. He once tried to challenge the power of Parallax, hoping to harness this powerful energy.

However, he failed, and his soul was taken away by the Parallax Monster, and he became a monster that only emits fear energy.

The Guardians of the Universe originated from the planet Maltus. They are the earliest intelligent life forms in the universe. They possessed advanced technology and civilization a long time ago.

Hal thought of this and couldn't help but ask.

His voice was full of confidence and calmness, as if everything was expected.

Oa believed that emotions would hinder development, so he abandoned emotions many years ago. If any member developed feelings, they would lobotomize his brain.

At this time, Hal stood aside and looked at the scene in front of him. He couldn't understand what was happening before him. This monster that once left the Green Lantern Corps helpless is now so vulnerable to the Milky Way Monitor. He looked at Luther, his eyes full of admiration and doubt.

But they still have feelings.

During Infinite Crisis, Oa's position shifted, and the Guardians became frightened.

This is why there are guardians trying to control Parallax.

Luther retracted his palm, smiled lightly and said, "Okay, the problem has been solved."

In the N52 New Guardians, the members of the Yellow Lantern Corps embodied the appearance of betrayers. Although they said they had no fear, they still showed fear for a moment.

For example, Gunther and his wife did not want to abandon their emotions, left Oa, and founded the Blue Lantern Corps (but later Gunther came back).

Are the Galaxy Monitors so powerful?
"Supervisor, why didn't you take action to deal with the Parallax Monster before?"

Hal didn't expect that the monster that had troubled the Green Lantern Corps for so many years, the source of fear that the Green Lantern Corps had avoided, turned a blind eye to, and ignored, would be solved in this way.

Although they claim to have knowledge of the entire universe, they obviously have blind spots.

The Green Lantern Corps was created by the Guardians of the Universe. It recruits the most brave and fearless people across the universe to become corps members to defend peace and order throughout the universe.

According to the continuity of the DC universe, the Green Lantern Corps has existed for tens of billions of years, and has experienced wars large and small but is still alive.

With Oa as the center, the entire universe is divided into 3600 sectors. Each sector has at least one Green Lantern assigned to it. Therefore, it is estimated that there are more than 7200 Green Lanterns serving the Green Lantern Corps. But Hal had never heard of the existence of the Galaxy Monitor.

Therefore, when Hal saw the awesome power displayed by Inspector Luther with his own eyes, his inner shock could not be described in words.

After witnessing the power of the Inspector, Hal no longer had any doubts about Luther's identity, but what followed was a deeper doubt.

Hal thought, since the Galactic Monitor has such a powerful power, why did they sit back and watch Parallax destroy one planet after another in the past days without helping?
The Green Lantern Corps paid a huge price to destroy Parallax, and many brave Green Lanterns died as a result. If the supervisors could take action, all this tragedy might not have happened.

Facing Hal's doubts, Luther looked at him with a smile and asked:

"Hal, your question touches the deep veil of the universe. First of all, I want to ask you, in what capacity do you ask me this question?"

Hal was caught off guard by Luther's sudden question.

He paused briefly, as if thinking about how to answer.

He never imagined that there would be such a deep meaning behind a simple question.

He raised his head in confusion and looked at Luther: "Is there... a difference?"

Luther nodded slightly, and his eyes became more determined: "Of course. If you are asking as an ordinary earthling, an ordinary person who is full of curiosity and desire to explore the universe, then I might ask it in another way. Answer you. After all, your knowledge of the universe is still too limited, and many things are still too far away and profound for you.”

"But if you are asking as a green light messenger, it will be different."

Luther's voice was full of solemnity and seriousness.

"As a member of the Green Lantern Corps, you shoulder the important responsibility of maintaining peace and order in the universe. Your vision should be broader and your thinking should be deeper."

Hal took a deep breath, feeling the weight of Luther's words.

He understands that he is not only an earthling, but also a green light messenger who carries the heavy responsibility of peace and order in the universe.

He solemnly replied: "I ask as a Green Lantern Messenger."

Luther nodded and began to speak slowly: "Our perspectives are highly different, and the angles at which we look at problems will also be different. For you Green Lantern Corps, the Parallax monster is an enemy that must be eliminated. Because you think its existence will destroy Peace and order in the universe will bring disaster and suffering to various planets.”

"However, for us monitors, the existence of Parallax Monster has another meaning."

Luther's voice became deeper.

"It is just like degradation and decay in your natural environment on Earth. Although it brings pain and destruction, it is also part of the balance of the universe. Every planet, every galaxy, and even the entire universe has its own life cycle. . When they cannot repair themselves, Parallax monsters will appear to speed up the process and allow some planets and galaxies that cannot repair themselves to be reborn."

"We monitors, as observers and guardians of the universe, have always adhered to the principle of 'observation without intervention'. We respect every living thing and the natural laws of the planet and do not interfere easily. Because once we Breaking this balance may lead to more serious consequences.”
