Chapter 828: Green Lantern Corps Established
Subsequently, Franklin showed Peter and the others the production factory of the Green Lantern Rings. Once this strong evidence was presented, the Green Lanterns naturally believed Franklin's words.
However, this did not mean Franklin had authority here. Compared to the mysterious Franklin, the Lantern Corps members preferred to listen to Peter's command.
This was because the five thousand people gathered here all had strong willpower and a moral standard above the passing line. Peter's example of taking the lead and his identity as Earth's first Green Lantern still carried significant weight in the eyes of these people.
Franklin was not annoyed. Just as Yang Le had said before, their attitude towards the Green Lantern Corps was not to subdue them, but merely to guide them.
Franklin liked to speak directly and was too lazy to waste time. So, he slightly modified the wording of the matter Yang Le had instructed him on and directly explained it to the Green Lanterns.
"Are you saying you want us to establish an organization?" Peter frowned. "May I ask what kind of organization?"
"An independent and unique organization that does not belong to any nation," Franklin then explained to everyone.
"You have also seen that the universe is far broader than humans imagine. In the vast and boundless universe, there is not only friendliness but also malice, just as you have witnessed today."
"There is Asgard helping Earth, and there are also those monsters invading Earth. I believe this will not be the first time Earth has been invaded, and it certainly won't be the last. We cannot pin our hopes on always having kind-hearted people to help us."
Franklin's words resonated with many Lantern Corps members. The Lantern Corps members present came from almost every nation on Earth. Among them, many had placed their national security hopes on the protection of other countries, and they deeply understood this feeling of apprehension.
Peter asked, "Is this your original intention for inventing the Lantern Rings?"
"More or less," Franklin nodded. "In short, the reason I created so many Lantern Rings is to prevent things like today from happening. What do you say? What are your thoughts?"
Regarding Franklin's suggestion, many Lantern Corps members were actually in favor of it. However, unexpectedly, the large troops of five thousand people present were surprisingly quiet. Not a single person voiced their opinion at this time.
4999 Lantern Corps members all cast their line of sight on Peter Parker, who was standing at the front. Clearly, they had decided to follow Peter's arrangements.
Facing thousands of trusts, Peter, who was taking on a major responsibility for the first time, felt pressure like a mountain. Just as he was hesitating, Amadeus Cho, who was beside him, placed his hand on Peter's shoulder.
"Don't worry, no matter what choice you make, all of us will support you."
Amadeus's hand seemed to possess some kind of power. This power flowed continuously into Peter's body through their contact. He looked behind him and realized that his pressure might not be as heavy as he thought.
So Peter turned back to look at Franklin. With a serious expression, he said, "Perhaps, we can give it a try."
"It would be better if you could say that with more confidence," Franklin joked, then he changed the subject. "Right now, there is a work that is perfect for you."
"Huh? What work?"
"Help Earth restore to its original state," Franklin pointed to the ruins behind him. "This place is now in need of restoration in every aspect. Some people need aid, some places need reconstruction, and some places need your help to maintain public security."
"The inherent flaws of humans, you understand."
When Franklin said this, a hint of embarrassment involuntarily appeared on his face. After all, although he possessed boundless mystic power, he was still a human physiologically, and he would still feel ashamed of these unsavory shortcomings of humans.
Peter and the others also showed a hint of unnatural expressions. There are always people who try to take advantage of chaos. For example, in Japan, some bastards even commit sexual harassment in earthquake shelters.
In the current situation where the government is paralyzed, Peter didn't even dare to imagine what kind of chaos would occur.
On a side note, this group of Green Lanterns in front of them was very likely the five thousand people with the highest moral standard on Earth. After all, they were directly selected by the Emotional Spectrum, which could not be faked. This was also the reason why Yang Le was reassured to let them be independent.
After all, once they went astray, Peter and the others wouldn't even need to find undercover agents. The Lantern Ring itself would abandon the wearer.
Maintaining the original intention is considered the most basic requirement of the Lantern Ring. However, in some comics of DC Universe, many writers selectively ignore this iron rule for the sake of gimmick.
The most typical example is the Purple Lantern of undying love, which is truly laughable, family.
After a brief moment of awkwardness, Peter, representing the Lantern Corps members, agreed to Franklin's request. Then, they dispatched manpower to various locations around the world to help local governments resume operation.
This was a very difficult business. Fortunately, among the Green Lanterns, there were many geniuses like Amadeus Cho. Yang Le had also discovered this wise person, who consistently ranked at the top of Marvel's intelligence rankings, under Franklin's reminder.
In addition to Amadeus, there were many familiar figures in the troops, all of whom were characters who originally appeared in comics. Some were heroes, and some were outstanding ordinary people.
These people were also capable individuals. It was believed that with their help, Earth would definitely recover quickly.
After all, it was not only the Green Lanterns who hoped for the restoration of order on Earth. Many major nations that had survived the war also did not want any more chaos at this time. They also dispatched manpower to support other countries under the condition of domestic safety.
For example, Zheng Xian's S.H.I.E.L.D., this secret organization that should have been hidden, was now exposed to the public in this war. Seeing this, the higher-ups simply dispatched all the manpower they could send out to accelerate the restoration of order.
In times of peace, there are always some bad guys who want to stir up trouble, but once chaos breaks out, the vast majority still hope for a quick restoration of peace.
In this way, with the tacit cooperation of various factions, the chaos that was just about to arise was suppressed in the bud. Even because of the intervention of the Green Lanterns, public security was even better than before the war.
Even the most ferocious criminals could not compare to the Green Lanterns swarming upon them. Those guys who wanted to take the opportunity to seek benefits were just finishing their fleeting dream when they were slapped awake.
After public security stabilized, reconstruction was immediately put on the agenda. According to the current situation, it was definitely impossible to perfectly restore everything. So, many nations had to abandon their original plans and first establish several temporary cities.
Only by managing the present well can there be a future. Everyone understands this reason. Although many people cannot forget the cities they originally lived in, the current situation does not allow them to demand too much. Rejuvenation can wait until vitality is restored.
As for whether those cities that have now disappeared will become memories that only exist in the minds of humans, we can only wait and see in the future.
