Chapter 413: Hal's Big Misfortune (Part 2)_1

The operation of the Green Lantern Corps is actually established based on a permissions system. All Green Lanterns who receive acceptance from the Corps are given a token of authorisation, which is the Green Lantern Ring.

But there's a threshold to use this token of authority, you must have a strong willpower to drive the Green Lantern Ring and the Green Lantern energy, that is to say, not just anyone who picks up a Green Lantern Ring can use it.

Generally speaking, even if the Green Lanterns lose their rings, it won't cause too much of a mess, because the person picking up the ring doesn't have the ability to use the ring, they don't possess enough willpower to harness the ring and the energy inside it.

But clearly, the current situation is an exception, and this starts from the working principle of the Green Lantern Ring.

If the Green Lantern wants to use the power of the ring and energy, he must use his own willpower to drive it. After sending a requisition command, the ring will judge whether this willpower is enough to drive it. If it is, then it will start to work, transmitting the energy to the Green Lantern.

The current situation is that, when Hal unleashed the Green Lantern energy, he wanted to use teleportation. He sent the command to the ring, and after examination, the ring found that he had the authority and could use the ring and the energy, so it started to work.

The energy had already been emitted, covering Hal's entire palm and half of his arm. But just then, Aisha bit onto him.

The reason the Green Lanterns fear the Yellow Lantern is because the original Parallax was stuffed in their Lantern Furnace. But now, not only has Parallax come out, it has also turned into a human girl. Logically speaking, Green Lantern energy should no longer fear the Yellow Lantern.

However, this doesn't mean that Green Lantern energy can pass through the body of another Lantern Beast. Aisha bit onto Hal's arm, and the Green Lantern energy surged to that part of his arm, but ran into Aisha's body. Regardless of whether she is now a pure human, at least part of her originates from Parallax. Green Lantern energy cannot coexist with the body of the Yellow Lantern Parallax Beast, so it was blocked.

The obstructed Green Lantern energy did not merge with the Green Lantern, naturally, it also didn't produce the effect Hal intended.

More ironically, Hal's action to get rid of Aisha caused the Green Lantern Ring to be flung out, then picked up by Dick.

Dick was not yet the future Nightwing. He wasn't even Robin, just an ordinary schoolboy, at most a bit more acrobatic than other children. He certainly didn't have the willpower to activate the Green Lantern Ring,

But as mentioned earlier, Hal had already sent the command and used his own willpower to unlock the authority to use the Green Lantern energy.

In other words, if you compare the Green Lantern Ring to a safe, Hal had unlocked it with his password but gave it away, and Dick was the lucky one to pick up the safe. Since the door had already been opened, he didn't need to unlock it, he could just take what was inside.

The only problem was that the last command Hal gave the ring before flicking it away was to teleport, and the first thing Dick did after putting on the Green Lantern Ring and receiving the Green Lantern energy inside was to teleport.

Thankfully, the Green Lantern Corps had reliable safety measures. The teleportation ability of the Green Lantern would not trap you inside a wall. If there was an obstruction in front, you would either pass through it or smack onto the wall with a "pap" sound.

Dick was unable to control this ability, so he ended up smacking directly onto the wall.

Luckily, Green Lantern energy provides an energy shield for its host. Dick didn't feel any pain or get hurt when he smacked into the wall, he just felt a bit dazed when he fell to the ground afterwards.

Alfred's face grew even grimmer.

But the one who had a bigger reaction than Alfred was Aisha. Not sure if she was hurt from Hal's previous arm flinging movement or startled by the sound of Dick teleporting into the wall, she paused for a moment, then opened her mouth.

Hal had a very bad premonition, and then, instantly, this premonition came true.

Under Gotham's pitch-black night, the unimaginably intense scream was like a thunderbolt in the peaceful winter, slashing across the night sky of Gotham —

"Dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

At this moment, Batman, who was looking for clues in the Gotham Cathedral, suddenly froze.

Also hearing this scream was Shiller, who had just fallen asleep.

It was already late at night, and even though Shiller was used to going to bed late, it was his bedtime. However, this familiar scream, just like when the last alien miscreant landed in Gotham, smoothly woke up the sleeping Shiller.

When he was woken up, he didn't feel angry. On the contrary, he felt the joy of harvest as if a seeder finally saw the yield.

The reason he wasn't called a farmer was that although he sowed the seed, he didn't care about plowing, watering, or fertilizing. In the end, he even planned to take a bite of the bread made from the crop.

Merkel was woken up by the ringing of Shiller's bell. When he woke up, his first reaction was a bit panicked. His biological clock told him it was night time.

This is what butlers fear the most, because once someone rings the bell in the middle of the night, it means there might be an urgent matter.
