Chapter 418 Yellow represents LSP

Chapter 418: Chapter 418 Yellow represents LSP

As Darian was examining the rewards issued by the mission, the system’s prompt tone suddenly rang in his mind again.

[Dungeon quest "Hero Rise" has been completed]

Obviously, the game system judged Parallax’s invasion as a major crisis event.

Coupled with the two major crises handled previously, it just barely met the completion conditions for the dungeon quest.

[Beginning to settle dungeon rewards...]

[Rewards are as follows: Experience + 40000, Free Attribute Points * 12, Skill "Purification", Equipment "Redemption", Item "Pilfer", Item "Risk Dice", Item "Shared Destiny"]

[Skill: Purification (Immediately removes all negative effects from oneself or others, cannot be repeatedly used on the same target in a short period of time)]

[Equipment: Redemption (Restores health to all targets within a certain range)]

[Item: Pilfer (Randomly steals any item from a designated target, unless the opponent plays an unbeatable defense)]

[Item: Risk Dice (A six-sided die, three sides are great fortune and three sides are great misfortune. Rolling great fortune brings good things, while rolling great misfortune brings extremely ominous events. Let the gambling begin)]

[Item: Mutual Destruction (At the cost of one’s life, releases an explosion with a hundred times the maximum damage, guaranteeing at least one death)]

As expected of a dungeon quest, the rewards are unusually rich.

Especially the skill Purification, which can directly erase all negative statuses; its practicality goes without saying.

With Purification, there’s no need to worry about being stacked with all kinds of messy debuffs in the future; one skill handles them all.

The other equipment and items are also quite good.

Redemption can provide group healing without the trouble of taking potions.

Pilfer is even more of a mechanism-based item, forcibly stealing an item from someone else.

If this item is used on some big shot, it might even steal an artifact back.

Of course, whether one can leave alive after stealing is a completely different matter.

As for the Risk Dice, true to its name, the returns are high and the risks are large. It is not suitable for people with bad luck, especially those Africans who always hit the minimum pity in games.

Although Darian thought his luck was okay, he didn’t dare to try it lightly. Who knows what would happen if he rolled great misfortune.

Then, his gaze fell on the last item.

"Mutual Destruction... Isn’t this fucking self-destruction!?"

Darian’s mouth twitched.

Guaranteed one death, and the one who dies is himself, right?

However, even though the cost is outrageous, the power is indeed astonishing.

Multiplying his current output limit by a hundred times, that explosion would probably be too much even for Clark to withstand.

Darian wasn’t afraid of death anyway; he still had resurrection coins. At worst, he would just resurrect after dying.

[Dungeon quest completed. Detected that the player has deployed a teleport anchor in the dungeon World, and can freely choose to leave at any time.]

Darian had deployed the teleport anchor in advance, so there was no 24-hour time limit.

From now on, he could freely travel back and forth between the Marvel Universe and the DC Universe.

[Congratulations, player, you have successfully leveled up!]

[Player: Darian]

[Level: 29 (9500 / 113000)]

[Attributes: Strength 118, Constitution 78, Speed 78, Spirit 101]

[Available Free Attribute Points: 25]

The free attribute points gained from two quests and leveling up totaled twenty-five points.

Ever since he started playing games, this was the first time Darian had fought such a wealthy battle.

He thought for a moment and began allocating the free attribute points.

Soon, his personal panel updated accordingly.

[Attributes: Strength 120, Constitution 80, Speed 80, Spirit 120]

Now, his Strength and Spirit attributes were completely leveled out.

Darian felt quite ashamed of this.

As a traditional mage, his Strength attribute wasn’t even his highest stat, which truly disgraced the mage profession.

At this moment, several beams of green light streaked down from the high sky.

It was Hal returning.

Not long ago, he had rushed to Oa with Abin Sur’s remains to fetch reinforcements.

Under his barrage of verbal persuasion, the Guardians of the Universe were extremely annoyed, and finally sent a Green Lantern squad led by Commander Thaal Sinestro to go with him to Earth to eliminate Parallax.

It was delayed quite a bit back and forth, which is why they only arrived just now.

Hal spotted Darian at a glance and immediately rushed over, asking in an urgent tone: "Omni-Man, I’ve brought back reinforcements, has Parallax appeared?"

Darian speechlessly said: "You’re late, it’s already over, Parallax has been sealed by me."

He raised his hand, showing Hal the yellow crystal in his palm.

"How is that possible!?"

It wasn’t Hal who spoke, but Sinestro, who had just landed from the sky.

He flew over, his gaze locked tightly onto that crystal, and an uncontainable shock appeared on his face.

"It really is Parallax... You actually defeated it?"

Sinestro knew very well just how terrifying Parallax was.

Back then, in order to maintain peace in the Universe, the Green Lantern Corps had dispatched a large number of elites to encircle and suppress Parallax.

In the end, they sacrificed numerous Green Lanterns and paid an extremely heavy price to barely seal Parallax away.

Yet the human in front of them actually defeated Parallax and sealed it away.

It was simply incredible!

Darian glanced at Sinestro, not unfamiliar with this red-faced alien.

In the comics, this man was the Green Lantern’s arch-nemesis, commonly nicknamed Uncle Sin.

Sinestro was originally a great Green Lantern as well. Later, due to ideological differences, he left the Green Lantern Corps, put on a yellow power ring, and single-handedly created the Sinestro Corps powered by fear, engaging in a love-hate relationship with Hal the Green Lantern.

It is worth mentioning that Sinestro thought quite highly of Batman, believing that Batman was skilled at creating fear, and even invited him to join the Sinestro Corps, only to be flatly refused by Batman.

He was the Dark Knight of Gotham; if he swaggered around in full yellow light at night, how could he scare criminals in the future?

However, right now Sinestro hasn’t dyed his whole body yellow yet, and remains a Commander of the Green Lantern Corps.

Darian said nonchalantly: "Mere embodiment of fear, how can it withstand my power."

As he spoke, the energy storage gem on his finger lit up with a layer of yellow light.

Sinestro’s pupils constricted: "This... This is the yellow power of fear?"

Darian wore a look of disdain: "How can fear represent yellow? This is a power even more powerful than fear, the yellow LSP power. The more lewd things one does, the stronger the power becomes."

Sinestro:....

"Is this power of yours legitimate?"

Darian carefully sized up Sinestro and said: "I see your bones are unusual, and you have great potential to be an LSP. Are you interested in joining my LSP Corps? With your aptitude, given time, you will definitely become an outstanding LSP."

"Bullshit, you’re the one with LSP potential!"

Sinestro felt insulted, his mouth twitching: "No need, I am a Green Lantern, and I have no thoughts of changing allegiance."

Hal, however, was very interested.

Doing lewd things makes one stronger; this power sounded very suitable for him.

He asked with an expectant face: "Omni-Man, is this LSP power really that powerful? Then do you think I have this potential?"

Darian turned his head, glanced at him, and decisively shook his head: "No, give up. In this life, you are destined to never be apart from green."

Hal: "....."

Sinestro calmed his emotions and said to Darian with a serious expression: "Earthling, may I ask if you can hand Parallax over to us, the Green Lantern Corps, to handle?"

"Parallax is extremely dangerous. Even though it is sealed now, its power still exists. Once it absorbs enough fear, it could break free from the seal at any time and plague the entire Universe once again."

"Hand it over to us, the Green Lantern Corps, and we will contain it in the Central Power Battery on Oa under strict surveillance, ensuring it will never escape again."

Darian refused very bluntly: "No need, Parallax is safer in my hands. I have the ability to prevent it from breaking free from the seal. Even if it really runs out, at worst I’ll just beat it up and seal it back in. What’s the big deal."

Parallax was his trophy after all; how could he possibly hand it over to the Green Lantern Corps.

And he wasn’t afraid of them snatching it; there were more than five Green Lanterns who came to Earth. One against five, the advantage was on his side.

Sinestro was momentarily speechless.

This was Parallax, the most dangerous fear entity in the entire Universe. Back then, the Green Lantern Corps lost a huge number of Green Lanterns to barely seal it.

Yet coming out of this Earthling’s mouth, how did it sound like a dog—if it doesn’t listen, just beat it and drive it back into its cage.

Yet Darian indeed had this strength; after all, Parallax was personally defeated by him.

After several rounds of persuasion yielded no results, Sinestro had no choice but to give up the idea of taking Parallax away. He led the other Green Lanterns to leave Earth and return to Oa to report to the Guardians of the Universe.

As for Hal, the Green Lantern intern, he was left behind on Earth.

To be precise, he was forgotten.

There was no help for it; Hal truly had very little presence.

Unlike his stepbrother from another mother, Wade, who was always the most eye-catching one on screen.

That dork also deeply understood the art of clout-chasing, constantly looking to share the frame with popular superheroes, and even binding himself with the most popular Spider-Man to form a ship, elevating his own status, and ultimately winding up as the Jesus of Marvel.

In contrast, Hal’s solo movie was delayed, and in the end, he didn’t even get a single shot, having a presence not even as good as Oliver’s.

This time, not only did The Seven turn out in full force, but Oliver the Green Arrow was also mixed in among them, saving those distressed ordinary people, gaining plenty of presence in front of the public, and winning the title of the greenest superhero.

As for Hal, a superhero whose name also carried green, hardly anyone knew him, and some even thought he and Oliver were the same person, since both were overwhelmingly green anyway.

"Let me introduce you all, this is Hal, codename Green Lantern, whose ability is being very green. Starting today, he is the new member of The Seven."

Darian brought Hal to the headquarters of The Seven and introduced him to the other members.

"H—Hello everyone, I am Hal."

Hal looked at these superheroes he had previously only seen on television screens, feeling somewhat nervous.

Bruce took the initiative to step forward and said in a gentle tone: "Don’t be nervous, from now on we are teammates."

Hal was very touched. He didn’t expect this seemingly cold-looking Batman to be so friendly, and his favorability instantly skyrocketed.

Yet he completely failed to notice the ghost-seeing expressions on the faces of the other members nearby.

Bruce pulled out a form and handed it over: "Right, fill out your information, the more truthful the better."

Hal took the form and asked curiously: "What is this?"

Bruce replied calmly: "Member personal data. I will evaluate based on your information. Every member fills this out."

"Oh."

Hal didn’t think much of it, picked up a pen, and started filling it out.

But after filling out only a few lines, he stopped, pointed at one of the columns, and asked doubtfully: "Why does it also ask to fill in one’s own weaknesses here?"

Bruce’s expression remained unchanged: "Team collaborative combat requires understanding each other’s capability boundaries and knowing where everyone’s shortcomings lie, so that we can cooperate with each other at critical moments."

"I see."

Hal felt that this made some sense, nodded, and continued writing downwards.

Yet after a few seconds, he stopped again: "What about things you’re afraid of? Does this need to be filled out too?"

Bruce explained: "Part of the psychological assessment. Fear directly affects battlefield judgment, especially for ability users who require a high degree of concentrated willpower. Knowing in advance is better than exposing flaws in actual combat."

"Uh... Alright."

Hal always felt that something wasn’t quite right.

But he figured a superhero like Batman couldn’t possibly screw him over, so he didn’t doubt it and continued filling out the form.

As a result, a few seconds later, he raised his head again: "Wait, does the method to remove the Green Lantern ring need to be filled out too?"

Bruce nodded heavily: "Of course, this is the most important one."

Hal:....

Poor Hal, thus thoroughly probed out in the open by Bruce.

Once Bruce obtained all the information he wanted, he directly withdrew his warmth, tossed Hal aside, and turned around to input the freshly acquired information into the system, leaving Hal completely dumbfounded.

This little interlude did not affect the subsequent atmosphere.

To celebrate Hal’s official joining, everyone threw a small party at the headquarters.

Hal was also quite outgoing; he quickly mingled with everyone, and even became bosom buddies with Barry, forming the Traffic Light Duo.

And Hal also learned about Darkseid from everyone’s mouths, finally understanding what the great war Darian mentioned was.

Hal cautiously asked: "You guys said Earth in ancient times also had a Green Lantern, who joined forces with other allies to fight against Darkseid. Did he survive in the end?"

Darian shook his head: "No."

Hal was shocked: "The battle was so tragic that even the Green Lantern didn’t survive."

"Ah no, only the Green Lantern died, everyone else survived, including the human leader."

Hal:...

"Even the ancient Green Lantern died, wouldn’t a newbie like me be even more useless."

Hal felt like crying without tears.

He was just a rookie who had just obtained a Green Lantern ring, and hadn’t even had time to grind mobs to level up. Yet as soon as he came up, it was either challenging this boss or that boss—this must be set to hell-level difficulty.

Before this, if Hal heard that Darkseid was so powerful, he definitely would have been scared to piss his pants.

But now that Hal had experienced so much, he could be considered to have grown quite a bit. At most he would leak a few drops, no big deal.

Darian said earnestly to Hal: "Don’t belittle yourself; you are very important to us."

Hearing this, Hal’s expression improved a lot: "Am I really that important?"

Darian nodded: "Of course, without you, how could we find the Green Lantern Corps to form an alliance?"

Hal:.....

So my only use is just fetching reinforcements!
