Chapter 775: Resurrection (3)
By: Great Demon Spirit
The Black Lantern Rings appeared. Under Nekron's influence, they finally began their revenge against the living.
In Nekron's perception, all the bastards in the current multiverse owed him.
If not for that damned White Light of Creation suddenly launching a sneak attack and severely injuring him, this world wouldn't have become such a mess. In Nekron's aesthetic view, darkness and tranquility were how the multiverse was supposed to be.
As for slaughter... it was just a trivial means to an end.
The moment William put on the ring, it was tantamount to sending a terrifying signal.
"I will embrace death..." William whispered, slowly raising his hand and plucking out one of his own eyeballs. Immediately after, a large amount of black blood gushed from the empty socket.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless Black Lantern Rings tumbled out from the black blood. At the signal of the crazed William, they began to scatter in all directions, crashing through houses and flying to every corner of the Earth.
The Blackest Night began on Earth, starting with an insignificant little character like William. Who would have thought that a worthless piece of trash like William would actually be the spokesperson chosen by Nekron?
Under the pitch-black night sky, these Black Lantern Rings began to streak rapidly through the air, searching for cemeteries in various places, seeking out the deceased who had died in this world.
Soon, after these rings found their targets, they once again caused the targets to spew out even more Black Lantern Rings, which then assailed more of the dead.
Their numbers increased exponentially. No one could stop them.
"From Earth, Dracula, arise!"
"From Earth, Hulk, arise!"
"From Earth, Arthur, arise!"
"From Earth, The Flash, arise!"
"Reverse-Flash..."
"Mera..."
"The Atom..."
"Mongul..."
"Cyborg Superman..."
"Iron Fist..."
"Ant-Man..."
"Hawkeye..."
"War Machine..."
"Stryker..."
Countless people who had ever existed in the prime universe and died here were awakened by the Black Lantern Rings.
These rings continuously replicated and multiplied. A massive number of the dead were awakened. Even those whose bodies had turned to dust, as long as they died in this world, would be tracked down by the omnipresent Black Lantern Rings. Their scattered remains would be pieced together by the power of the rings, re-forming into a humanoid shape.
The most terrifying thing was that these Black Lanterns were unkillable. You couldn't kill someone who was already dead a second time. Moreover, killing them was useless. The living were definitely outnumbered by the dead.
Since the formation of Earth, how many people have died in total?
Nobody knew.
And under the current circumstances, it was impossible for anyone to get an accurate count.
Countless dead people became puppets of the Black Lantern Rings and began to madly ravage the living.
Many people awoke from their dreams with a start, staring dumbfounded as their long-dead relatives and friends silently gathered around them. Their rotting bodies emitted a foul stench, and their hollow eyes stared straight at them.
Terrified screams rang out from every corner of the Earth. They were experiencing a process more agonizing than death itself.
The only comfort in their hearts was that these Black Lanterns didn't seem to intend to kill them immediately. Instead, they constantly tormented their minds with words and Fear.
Splat!
The first person was killed by a Black Lantern. The Black Lanterns frantically stimulated the emotional fluctuations of the living to obtain Energy. Once a person's emotions were fully drawn out, they lost their value and could be killed.
Then, their hearts were dug out.
The Black Lanterns weren't interested in brains; they were more obsessed with the hearts of the living. Dig them out, eat them, and replenish their energy.
Then, a Black Lantern Ring would fly onto the newly deceased, turning them into new Black Lanterns.
The superheroes and official organizations of the entire Earth began to take emergency action, fighting against the Black Lanterns all over the world. But they could only buy some time, because no one could kill these Black Lanterns.
Even the most vicious super-criminals, filled with a mixture of shock and anger, began to fight back against these Black Lanterns, using various methods to slow their pace of slaughter.
But they didn't know that the power of the Emotional Spectrum could only be destroyed by the Emotional Spectrum itself or a power of the same tier. Conventional methods were incapable of destroying these Black Lanterns.
Many discovered in despair that their efforts were destined to be in vain.
"Is this God's judgment upon the world?"
Countless people let out blood-curdling screams as they were swallowed by hordes of Black Lanterns.
Numerous superheroes struggled to resist the invasion of the Black Lanterns. But unfortunately, if they could barely hold them back at the beginning, everything was over when a certain big guy showed up.
A ring slowly and leisurely flew towards the core of the Earth, drilling through countless layers of soil and rock, and finally fitting itself onto the finger of a behemoth.
"From the prime universe, The Final Arbiter Lord, arise!"
This Celestial, who could be called the origin of life on Earth, suddenly opened his eyes after forty billion years. Six lightbulb-like eyes shot out a chilling black light.
He opened his mouth and let out a silent roar.
The cosmic locusts residing within his body were also awakened. They shrieked in anger and attacked The Final Arbiter Lord, but it was all in vain. Their parasite race was the natural enemy of the Celestials, but their abilities to parasitize and influence minds were completely ineffective at this moment.
Under the slaughter of The Final Arbiter Lord, these cosmic locusts were exterminated.
With a deafening crash, The Final Arbiter Lord broke through the obstruction of the earth's layers and finally, after forty billion years, set foot on the surface of this planet.
A Level Seven aura spread out madly. As the number one combat unit among the Celestials, The Final Arbiter Lord possessed the strength to easily suppress an ordinary Level Seven being. And now, controlled by a Black Lantern Ring, he possessed an immortal body, having been reduced to a terrifying Celestial zombie. This was a catastrophe for Earth.
"Quick! Go find Black Bolt!"
Stephen rushed over from Kamar-Taj. Seeing the two-thousand-foot-tall Final Arbiter Lord, his eyes looked ready to burst from their sockets. He roared at Mordo while continuously using spatial magic and the Mirror Dimension to obstruct the behemoth's advance.
A Level Seven being... its attack range could cover the entire Milky Way Galaxy. The tiny planet Earth couldn't possibly withstand this tier of devastation.
The entire Earth was plunged into a monstrous war. This time, it was a world-ending disaster. All life forms on Earth, regardless of good or evil, regardless of species, struggled to resist the invasion of the Black Lanterns, making a futile effort.
And this disaster happening on Earth was about to spread to the entire prime universe, and even the entire multiverse. The infinitely replicating and multiplying Black Lantern Rings, the countless unkillable Black Lanterns, were raising their slaughtering blades, launching a frenzied revenge against all living beings.
Cybertron.
Tony stood on the podium of the High Council. He opened his palm, and seven rings radiating different colored lights floated gently. Under the will of the One-Above-All, the mysteries of these Lantern Rings were being analyzed.
"I will give the living hope. These seven common lights will shine in all the darkness of the universe."
Tony flicked his fingers lightly. The seven rings suddenly moved, flying into the hands of seven people present.
At the same time, on Cybertron, countless multi-colored Lantern Rings began to erupt like geysers, flying densely into the sky. A portion was distributed to the residents and mercenaries of the Cybertronian galaxy, while the majority began to madly rush towards the entire universe, searching for their respective masters.
The brilliant radiance symbolized the Light that illuminates the Darkness. These Lantern Rings, empowered by Tony's power, carrying the hope of resisting the darkness under the will of the One-Above-All, shone brightly in the pitch-black universe!
