Chapter 776: The Radiance of Seven Lights!
Countless brilliant rainbows erupted from Cybertron. When the Black Lantern crisis erupted on Earth, Tony had completely lifted the seal on these Lantern Rings, releasing innumerable rings to seek out their own favored wielders.
In the pitch-black night, seven-colored lights stained the sky, painting the world in a myriad of hues. Streaks of light from the Lantern Rings, each representing the emotions of life, whistled through the air, intertwining with other colored rings to weave a web so beautiful it was breathtaking.
In an instant, Cybertron was bathed in seven-colored light, resembling paradise.
"The power of the Black Lanterns can only be countered by the power of the Emotional Spectrum. This is also the most direct and effective method."
Tony spread his arms. Bathed in the glow of countless lights, his towering figure cast a shadow over the entire planet. The mighty power of the One-Above-All frantically fueled the seven types of Power Batteries, continuously forging more and more Lantern Rings that went whistling into the sky.
This world had become a beautiful paradise.
A paradise to stand against the darkness!
At this critical juncture brought about by the Blackest Night, just as Earth became the first to suffer a large-scale attack, Tony activated his contingency plan—not one prepared for his own fight against Nekron, but one for the living beings of Earth, and indeed, the entire universe.
Just by using the power of the One-Above-All to forge more Lantern Rings, he brought the hope of survival to countless worlds ravaged by the darkness!
"I allowed the Blackest Night to arrive ahead of schedule, but I have also sent you the hope to fight back. Don't disappoint me."
Tony stood quietly, looking up at the multi-colored sky. The constantly shifting curtain of light was a kaleidoscope of seven colors, and every subtle change signified tens of thousands of Lantern Rings flying at incredible speeds.
This long stream of the Emotional Spectrum tore through the dense darkness, illuminating the world of the living!
Streak after streak of rainbow light whistled past, heading straight for Earth. The various colored lights began to flicker frequently, forming curtains of light that then scattered, turning into dense clusters of stars that flew to countless living beings.
"Tony Stark of Earth, you possess the great willpower to overcome fear. Welcome to the Green Lantern Corps!"
"Clark Kent of Earth, you possess a heart of immense compassion. Welcome to the Indigo Tribe!"
"...Diana, your heart holds a deep love. Welcome to the Star Sapphires!"
"...Peter Parker, you have the ability to instill great hope in others. Welcome to the Blue Lantern Corps!"
"...Bruce Wayne, you have the ability to instill great fear in others. Welcome to the Yellow Lantern Corps!"
"...Savitar, your avarice is a bottomless pit. Welcome to the Orange Lantern Corps!"
"...Stephen Strange, your heart is surging with immense rage. You belong to the Red Lantern Corps!"
Every Lantern Ring swiftly scanned all of Earth for emotional fluctuations, following its predetermined programming to find a suitable wielder.
For a time, countless lights covered the skies of Earth, illuminating this world that had fallen into darkness and bringing the most precious hope to the living.
Countless mechanical voices echoed in every corner of Earth. Whether it was the displaced people struggling to escape in the big cities or the living who were screaming and fighting for their lives in rural towns, at this moment, everything else became meaningless. Only one thing was eternal in this cruel Blackest Night.
The powerful emotions stirring in their hearts—that which is unique to every individual, yet also the most precious thing everyone is born with.
And what Tony was doing now was giving everyone the ability to wield this treasure!
He personally delivered the opportunity right to the living!
Every person who received a Lantern Ring had countless pieces of information poured into their minds, including information about the Blackest Night, and more importantly, Tony's words.
"I have given you a chance to fight back. But whether you summon what little courage you have left and choose to become a hero who could die at any moment, or become a useless waste who only knows how to wail and cry in the face of disaster—the power to choose is in your hands."
"The Blackest Night has arrived. I am powerless to dispel the darkness, but I choose to give you light. Light is the natural enemy of darkness, and darkness is the bane of light. And every single one of you holds deep within your hearts the ability to resist the darkness... This is your innate talent."
"In the Blackest Night, no one is safe, myself included. I wish you good luck. Good luck to all the living."
Every Lantern Ring faithfully relayed the message from Tony. His voice was calm, lacking any morale-boosting passion, containing only a profound serenity.
But it was this very composure, maintained even in the face of darkness, that became the spark that ignited a blazing fire in countless hearts.
Fire brings light.
A single spark is insignificant, but when more sparks gather, they will surely become a monstrous inferno—a world-shocking flame capable of burning the darkness to ash!
Countless people slipped the Lantern Rings onto their fingers. Facing the Black Lanterns before them, they clenched their fists, raised them high, and unleashed emotional fluctuations that belonged only to the light.
Rage, compassion, determination, terror, avarice, hope, love... No matter the emotion, regardless of good or bad, they all had one thing in common: only the living could possess them.
Beings with emotion held high the torch that symbolized light, while emotionless corpses coldly attempted to annihilate the living.
A kaleidoscope of colors whistled in from the depths of the vast universe, a ceaseless stream flying into the hands of every living being, awakening the formidable power deep within their hearts.
At every moment, newly deputized Lanterns were swarmed and killed by innumerable Black Lanterns. The masterless Lantern Rings were either destroyed by the black blood or immediately took flight, rapidly seeking their next wielder.
On Earth, the place where the Blackest Night first descended, an even grander and more unconventional Spectrum War had entered its most intense and brutal stage from the very beginning.
"The green light of Willpower, combined with any other emotion, can destroy a Black Lantern. This is all the help I can offer. Good luck."
Tony conveyed this final sentence to all the Lantern Rings and then severed the connection.
He continuously pushed for the creation of more Lantern Rings, his powerful willpower directly connecting to the countless turbulent emotions that permeated the entire universe, and even the whole multiverse.
Before Tony at this moment, the Emotional Spectrum was practically tangible. He was observing the boundless spectrum of different colors through countless dimensions.
"And this is just little Earth..."
Tony slowly turned his head, looking toward the distant Sector 666. There, on a planet called the Death Planet, Black Lantern rings numbering in the tens and hundreds of billions were frantically swarming in all directions, like a terrifying plague of locusts in the darkness, vast and endless, forming an eternal black river.
The Death Planet was precisely where the Black Lantern Corps' Central Power Battery was located.
