Chapter 525 Finding the Red Lantern
Although it took a relatively long time, Yang Le still completed the coverage of Earth. The next operation is to sense the emotions of all creatures on Earth.
This is a huge project. Fortunately, the Martian lifestyle, different from that of humans, makes this operation, which sounds very difficult, not so impossible to achieve.
Just like using a search engine to retrieve keywords, Yang Le first determined the first keyword - Anger, and then filtered out about half of the creatures.
After that, Yang Le added a level to the emotion of Anger. Low-level Anger is not enough to attract the Red Lantern Ring. Only the towering rage that wishes to devour flesh and blood can attract the Red Lantern Ring's attention.
For example, the clan-extermination disaster experienced by Atrocitus, the leader of the Red Lantern Corps, and Bleez, the second-in-command, is the most typical example.
However, the powerless anger hidden in the heart cannot attract the Red Lantern either. You can say that the Red Lantern Corps are simple-minded, but no one in the Red Lantern Corps is a coward.
After adding the Anger Rating, another large portion was filtered out. Although the remaining number is still decreasing, this data is still astonishing. Yang Le estimated that this might be related to the New York event that just happened.
So many people are displaced and their families are destroyed. There must be many angry people. And these people cannot find an outlet to vent, so they can only hold it in. Yang Le estimated that if no one comes forward to appease them, trouble will break out sooner or later.
In theory, Yang Le should go to those superheroes who have experienced the Day of Destiny, such as the Fantastic Four, but right now the threat of the Red Lantern Ring is even greater.
People who wear the Red Lantern Ring are like berserkers, unstable time bombs, and are very likely to cause large-scale casualty events.
Moreover, this Universe does not have a Lantern Battery that can recharge the Lantern Ring, nor a Lantern Entity that provides a continuous stream of Emotion Ability. If the person wearing the Lantern Ring abuses energy, they will easily exhaust the energy in the Lantern Ring.
You should know that once the Lantern Ring runs out of energy, it is basically ruined. Without knowing if he can get another Lantern Ring in the DC Universe, this Red Lantern Ring is Yang Le's only material. The reason for "rarity increases value" doesn't need explanation, right?
As time passed, the number of people in Anger continued to decrease. In the end, only a small group of creatures could maintain sufficient Anger, and among them, one creature was particularly conspicuous.
This creature's anger is not only very stable, but its moving speed is also very exaggerated. According to Yang Le's prediction, this creature is moving forward at a speed of over 400 kilometers per hour.
Yang Le wanted to explore its purpose, but was blocked by the rage that could materialize outside the creature's brain. He could only sense a weak but steady emotion of anger. This is very likely the reason why he didn't notice this creature immediately before.
If it weren't for this creature's very exaggerated moving speed, Yang Le might not have discovered him. Yang Le immediately changed his goal and explored forward in the direction he was moving, and finally found a place that seemed to be the target.
According to telepathic ability, Yang Le discovered a place where a large number of soldiers were stationed. It was an Air Force Base.
Although he couldn't guarantee 100%, Yang Le didn't think that McDonald's behind the Air Force Base would be the target.
But even if he guessed wrong, Yang Le was not afraid, because the Martian's moving speed is very fast. Martian Manhunter can fly at a speed of more than Mach 10 in the atmosphere. That creature could never surpass him.
As for why not directly go to that creature, it was because Yang Le could not accurately locate it. The Martian's weakness of being afraid of fire is too fatal. Even the rage in the spiritual world would make Yang Le feel fear even if he just watched from a distance in Martian state.
Now that he had found the goal, Yang Le immediately said goodbye to Gwenpool and flew towards that Air Force Base. Intangibility allowed Yang Le to ignore buildings, and invisibility made ordinary people unable to see him, so Yang Le could fly at high speed without any scruples.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Le had already flown to the sky above that Air Force Base. Because of the different direction, Yang Le didn't see the person chosen by the Lantern Ring when he came, but relying on vision that didn't belong to Superman, Yang Le saw the other party from hundreds of miles away.
It was hard not to notice. The other party was riding a Harley motorcycle, with flames all over his body, looking like Ghost Rider. If it weren't for the iconic Red Lantern uniform, Yang Le would have thought he had found the wrong person.
Moreover, Yang Le also noticed, isn't this person in front of him Frank Castle? Looking at his appearance, could it be that he has experienced the Day of Destiny? No wonder the Red Lantern Ring would find him.
Although he felt sorry for Frank Castle's family, it didn't mean that Yang Le would give the Red Lantern Ring to him. Even if he were to give it, it would have to wait until his research was completed.
Moreover, he was also helping him. You should know that the Red Lantern Ring is different from other Lantern Rings. Once you put on the Red Lantern Ring, it's basically like signing a death warrant.
There is basically no major loss in taking off other Lantern Rings, but the Red Lantern Ring will replace the wearer's original heart. Once the Power Ring is taken off, it is equivalent to removing the heart. Under normal circumstances, only the Blue Lantern Ring representing Hope can remove the Red Lantern Ring.
However, Yang Le obviously does not belong to normal circumstances. With the Omnitrix, he has many methods to remove the Red Lantern Ring without endangering Frank Castle's life, and then bring the Red Lantern back to him after the research is completed.
It's just that Frank Castle, whose brain is eroded by anger, may not agree.
Yang Le felt that he was very likely to fight Frank Castle, so he decided not to meet him in Martian state. Yang Le is not some master of reverse attributes, and the four times restraint damage still needs to be avoided.
If you want to talk to someone wearing a Red Lantern Ring, then you must be a person with enough strength, at least to be able to dodge when the other party attacks. So Yang Le chose an alien hero that he hadn't used for a long time.
…
Frank Castle sped along the highway, and behind him was a scorched trace constantly chasing him. The dry asphalt road was burned and melted, which can be said to be the nightmare of road administration office personnel.
He only had one idea at this time, which was to find General Ross, and then tear him into pieces. If possible, Frank Castle would also let him taste the pain of losing family, and kill his child in front of him.
But unfortunately, Frank Castle didn't know where General Ross was. He only remembered this problem after killing William. Rage not only gave him power but also clouded his brain.
But Frank Castle, who was once a soldier, knew the position of many bases of General Ross's base. As long as he found one of his confidants in one of them, he could know Ross's position.
Burning fire overflowed from the corner of Frank Castle's mouth. He couldn't wait to hear Ross's wails.
"Boom!"
A black shadow fell from the sky and smashed heavily in front of Frank Castle. The rubble and smoke picked up, and an unknown threat forced Frank Castle to stop. He wanted to see who was going to stop him.
