Chapter 794: Tony... from Earth.
Tony's clone forcibly pulled the seven Lantern Entities over from Cybertron.
The seven entities, each a different color and form, stared blankly at the new world.
"I've raised you for so long. It's time for you to repay me."
Tony knocked away the swarming Black Lanterns and walked step by step toward the Lantern Entities.
Since he couldn't find the Life Entity, he had to do this. It was not only to find a possibility of fighting back against Nekron, but also to put on a show for the Life Entity.
No one knew better than Tony that the Life Entity was right here. The moment Nekron awoke, the Life Entity had already been observing quietly, watching every living being in the Multiverse.
Including Tony.
Tony had no interest in passively waiting for the Life Entity to reveal itself, nor did he have the patience to wait until Nekron was about to kill everyone before the Life Entity appeared in the guise of a savior, distributing White Lantern Rings to besiege Nekron.
More importantly, Tony never intended to wear the White Lantern Ring from the very beginning. Compared to the White Lantern Ring, Tony was more willing to wear a Black Lantern Ring.
This was because he could resist the influence of the Black Lantern Ring. In the original story, Diana was able to resist its control for a short time, so there was no reason why Tony, a Singular God, couldn't. In fact, he was correct; the Black Lantern Ring could not control his main body.
But the White Lantern Ring was different. Anyone who wore it was equivalent to signing an unbreakable contract with the Life Entity. A White Lantern could use the power of the Life Entity, but they also had to work for it, completing its commands by any means necessary, whether the White Lantern was willing or not.
The White Lantern Ring was a more domineering item than the Black Lantern Ring. The only benefit was that the Life Entity protected the world of the living and wouldn't do something like killing everyone, as Nekron would.
Watching Tony approach step by step, the seven Lantern Entities grew restlessly agitated. As beings who could sense emotions, an ominous premonition rose in their hearts.
"What do you want to do?!" Parallax shrieked, shrinking into a ball in fear.
The seven Lantern Entities gathered together, watching Tony warily.
"To become a part of me, of course..."
Tony beckoned with his hand, and seven Lantern Rings of different colors flew over swiftly, floating obediently in his palm. "To fight against Nekron, I need you to contribute your power."
"You all survived because of the Life Entity, escaping death in the War of Light and Death long ago. Within your bodies, you all contain the White Light that counters the darkness. I need you to contribute that."
Tony drew closer, step by step.
"We don't know what you're talking about! Even if we have that thing, how do you plan to get it?" Adara said angrily.
"By devouring you and erasing your will, I'll naturally obtain it."
Tony finally revealed his vicious fangs. His entire figure abruptly vanished, reappearing before the seven Lantern Entities.
In Tony's eyes, these seven Lantern Entities were a backup plan now that he couldn't find the Life Entity. He would gather the full power of the seven Lantern Entities, and with the Allspark he had long prepared, he might be able to restore a sliver of the power of the White Light of Creation.
If that still wasn't enough, he could only flee the Main Universe and wait for the Life Entity, who was lying low for who knows how long, to make its move.
The powerful energy particles of the Singular God immediately surrounded the seven shocked and enraged Lantern Entities. Piercing roars echoed as the seven Lantern Entities began to rampage; some started attacking Tony, while others tried to flee for their lives.
But Tony, who had long been prepared, would never allow them to escape.
"Accept your fate. From the moment you Lantern Entities fell into my hands, your Fate was sealed."
A Tony exuding black light suddenly appeared. One in front and one behind, the two Tonys blocked the agitated Lantern Entities.
The Tony of the Seven Lights and the Black Lantern Tony began their assault, swiftly attacking the seven Lantern Entities. A dazzling Emotional Spectrum erupted as the two Tonys tightly sealed the space around the Lantern Entities, constantly compressing it and imprisoning the seven creatures.
No matter how much the seven creatures struggled and resisted, they were no match for the two Tonys.
Eight colored lights flickered ceaselessly. Even more terrifying, a semi-transparent, indistinct flame was weaving through this ocean of colors, faintly emitting two terrifying auras.
In the center of Tony's palm, that point of light appeared once more. It looked insignificant, but it contained terrifying power.
This was something he had obtained by analyzing the Seven Lanterns. Not long ago, Tony had used two of these points of light to instantly kill Galactus and Ego.
This was a power that mixed the creative force of the Allspark with the power of the Seven Lanterns.
This was what Tony had been planning all along.
The seven Lantern Entities originated from the grace of the White Light of Creation; it was the White Light of Creation that sheltered them, allowing them to escape the darkness. What Tony was doing was using the Allspark, this Source of Life, to merge the Seven Lanterns and restore the White Light of Creation, even if it was just a sliver.
Although he hadn't succeeded yet, he seemed to have achieved some decent results. Now, he just had to stuff the seven Lantern Entities into the Allspark. Even if it meant completely sacrificing them, Tony had to try and glimpse the White Light of Creation.
Originally, he wanted to contact the Life Entity directly, but it seemed to have sensed something and refused to show itself. Tony could only settle for the next best thing and strike ruthlessly at the seven Lantern Entities.
"You demon!"
Ion roared furiously, struggling with all its might. But it was pinned down by a giant hand, its efforts futile.
"You might not necessarily die. I might figure out what I'm looking for first, and then none of you will have to die."
Tony shrugged.
The seven Lantern Entities were restrained by a powerful force, dragged over bit by bit toward Tony.
After a moment of contemplation, Tony's main body opened one hand, and a cluster of illusory flames appeared in his palm. The clone Tony dragged the seven Lantern Entities over and threw them toward it.
The Allspark was his most crucial possession, and his greatest reliance for prying into the White Light of Creation.
The flame flickered suddenly. The roars of the seven Lantern Entities went silent. They roared without a sound, terror in their eyes. From the flame before them, they felt a power that could annihilate them, a flame that could strip them of their very lives.
The seven Lantern Entities were ultimately pulled before the Allspark. Controlling the Allspark while resisting the corruption of the Black Lanterns, Tony coldly drove the Allspark to devour these Lantern Entities.
This was the first time he had separated the Allspark from his body, all for the sake of scheming for something greater.
The instant the seven Lantern Entities were about to be touched by the suddenly expanding flame, a beam of light, shining from an unknown source, suddenly burst into this space.
This light lay between Tony and the seven Lantern Entities, emitting a pure and holy aura. A gentle yet majestic voice resounded in Tony's mind.
"Tony from Earth, stop."
