The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics

Before the smoke and dust in the sky had dissipated, Frank could already see the white light source constantly flowing within it. Immediately afterward, a metallic palm reached out, and with a wave to the right, the smoke instantly cleared.

Before Frank's eyes, something with most of its body covered in metal, with only the top of its head, chest, and wrists being transparent components with white energy flowing inside, stood brazenly in front of him. It was Yang Le, transformed into Atomix.

Speaking of which, Atomix is clearly one of the officially recognized three major alien heroes, but his appearance rate with Yang Le is not very high. The reason is that his weakness is too fatal.

Don't get me wrong, Yang Le isn't talking about the endurance issue, but the collapse of confidence after the energy is exhausted. Atomix is a race with very strong self-confidence before their energy runs out, but once energy is scarce, they will immediately suffer from the number one internet disease - 'YuYu syndrome' (a Chinese internet slang term for depression).

In this state, Atomix is no different from a lamb to be slaughtered, basically not fighting back or talking back when scolded. This has led to Yang Le only using Atomix in low-end games in the Marvel universe, where gods are everywhere, before solving the energy problem.

There's no way around it, the gods in Marvel are rarely glass cannons; they are all top-notch high-defense HP sponges, and they can easily be exhausted. But Frank in front of him is different; the Green Lantern needing to recharge is written in the settings.

Now Yang Le has caught him. He finally found a character who is not bad in strength but consumes electricity faster than himself. This time, he must have a wave of the superior beating the inferior.

"Get out of the way!" Frank roared. If it weren't for the energy shortage, Frank, transformed into the Red Lantern, would have even wanted to skip the communication step, but in order to avoid any trouble when killing Ross, he could only pick up his already limited patience.

"Hey! Frank." Who would have thought that Yang Le would ignore Frank and say to himself.

"Your days of easily overheating are over. Give me the power ring!"

Although he didn't understand how the metal monster in front of him knew his name, Frank understood after hearing about the power ring. The person in front of him is very likely the original owner of the power ring, or at least related to it.

Frank cracked his big mouth, revealing his white shark-like teeth, and said, "Come and get it yourself if you have the ability!"

Although the words were different, the meaning was the same. This was a surprise, but unfortunately, it was useless.

"I saved you before. Is this how you treat your savior?" Yang Le tapped the Omnitrix logo on his belt.

Frank recognized the logo and asked suspiciously, "Are you the guy with four arms from before? But why do you look different?"

"This is my ability." Yang Le spread his hands and demonstrated it to Frank again, transforming into Ultimate Four Arms and then back into Atomix. Only then did Frank believe Yang Le's words.

As for why Yang Le didn't directly transform into Ultimate Four Arms, it was mainly because he was afraid that Frank would attack him without distinguishing right from wrong. The Red Lantern's unquenchable flames are still relatively difficult to deal with for Four Arms.

"Although you saved me before, it's a pity that I still can't return the power ring to you." Frank's attitude changed slightly, but due to the influence of the Red Lantern ring, he still spoke angrily, but Yang Le knew that he was friendly at this time.

"I guessed as much." Yang Le nodded. "The power of the power ring comes from the emotional spectrum, and the power of the Red Lantern ring comes from anger, which makes its power superior among many power rings. Being chosen by it proves that you have experienced terrible things."

"My family, the families of forty-two test subjects, they are all dead!" Frank said, gnashing his teeth.

"Those high-ranking figures, afraid of the matter being exposed, wanted to solve the families who knew some inside information before solving those test subjects. I can't let those bastards go! I want them to pay for their blood debts!"

"That's a good enough reason." Yang Le touched his chin. "I don't seem to have a reason to stop you, but I want to tell you about the drawbacks of the Red Lantern ring first. I hope you will make a judgment after hearing it."

"I'm all ears." Frank patiently made a listening gesture.

"The power of the power ring, especially the Red Lantern ring, is powerful, but it needs energy to drive it. Your anger is not enough to replenish this energy. You will die after the energy is exhausted."

Yang Le put the cold reality in front of Frank, but the latter did not waver in the slightest.

"After killing the enemy, I'll reunite with my family." Frank grinned hideously. "I like this fairy-tale-like happy ending!"

"You're not suitable for telling bedtime stories to children." Yang Le rolled his eyes. "Tell me, who is your enemy?"

"General Ross." Frank coldly said a name. "I found his lackey and forced it out before killing him."

It really is that old dog. Yang Le didn't feel surprised at all. In Frank's surprised eyes, Yang Le directly turned back into a human.

"If it's that old dog, I think I can help a little." Yang Le said as he took out a mobile phone and operated it. After about a minute, he threw the mobile phone in his hand to Frank again.

"The location of Ross is marked on it. You can go directly to him, saving you some time and energy."

This mobile phone was exactly the one that the previous self from the DC universe sent. Yang Le uploaded the data inside to the cloud storage he built with a shapeshifter, and then deleted the data before giving it to Frank.

"Thank you." For the first time, other emotions appeared on Frank's angry face. "I really don't know how this dead man should thank you."

"Try to live and bring the ring back to me." Yang Le waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care. Seeing this, Frank didn't say anything else. After confirming Ross's location, he turned the car around and started riding towards New York.

Looking at Frank, who was getting farther and farther away, Yang Le sighed. He didn't know if it was because of the conversation with Eternity about the Day of Destiny, but Frank still couldn't escape the fate of his family being destroyed in this universe.

Also because of this reason, Yang Le had a high degree of sympathy and guilt for Frank. He sympathized with his experience and felt guilty for not being able to prevent the energy burst, which caused all of this to happen.

But soon Yang Le was relieved. He didn't need to take everything on himself. This was all done by that old dog Ross. Not taking back the Red Lantern ring and letting Frank have the power to avenge himself was kinder than a great master.

But although he said he wouldn't take back the ring, Yang Le wouldn't actually leave Frank alone and let him break the ring. It's just that Yang Le now had a better idea.
