Always watching you?
Damn it…
Just reading that sentence, I thought it was some stalker pervert who ran out of a hidden corner.
And the kind who tracks you from the internet to the coffee shop around the corner of your building.
Eek!
Thinking about it, it's really disgusting!
"Tsk, these Dimensional Devil Gods, they're all a bit perverted."
Li Chengfeng had just muttered when Ion Shark's weak voice immediately rang in his ears:
"Damn it! You damnable Guardian! Do you still have time to think nonsense? Did you forget that my tender body can only last for one minute!? Hurry up and use the remaining time to deal with these gems!"
Li Chengfeng almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard Ion Shark's extremely weak boyish voice.
The physique of a young Lantern Beast really isn't good enough.
But short and sweet is also very cute, hahahahaha.
Li Chengfeng scoffed inwardly, then reached out his hand towards the four Crimson Gems and Blood Slaughter Ox.
"Little Shark, you really need to be more careful."
And Blood Slaughter Ox, who had just been sleeping like a dead ox, finally jolted awake, half-dazed and half-stupid, when he felt the power exclusive to Ion Shark approaching him.
To his surprise, it was a soft and tender loli voice, though the lines had nothing to do with softness.
"Moo!? Snacks? Where are the snacks? Are there any snacks that I, as a Lantern Beast, can eat… Holy crap, Ion Shark!?"
"Little Ox, relax."
Li Chengfeng grinned, smiling in a way that was utterly harmless to humans and animals.
Of course, this was just his good self-perception, but in Blood Slaughter Ox's eyes, this was Ion Shark gathering a vicious, unscrupulous human to capture them, the carefree Lantern Beasts!
"Ion Shark! I, Niu Niu, haven't provoked you Will Green Light, have I? Why are you picking on me first! Help! They're killing an ox!"
"Alright, stop wailing!"
Li Chengfeng flicked Blood Slaughter Ox's head with his finger; he was still in Ion Man state, and this flick directly made Blood Slaughter Ox paralyzed.
The power of a native Lantern Beast is strong, but to unleash it, they must merge with a Lantern Ring wielder.
And what Li Chengfeng was preparing to forge, but hadn't yet, was the Ancestral Red Lantern.
In other words…
The current Blood Slaughter Ox was just a small figurine that looked intimidating.
"Fifteen seconds left! Hurry up!"
"Alright, alright, stop rushing me. Why don't you just change your name to Death-Rushing Shark?"
After agreeing, Li Chengfeng began to forge the Ancestral Red Lantern using the Crimson Gems as a base.
Using the extreme abilities that Ion Man could mobilize, he analyzed the four Crimson Gems and then condensed them into the shape of a Lantern Furnace.
While changing the shape, Li Chengfeng also began to alter the properties of the Crimson Gems using his partial reality-influencing abilities.
Question: How many steps does it take to create an Ancestral Red Lantern?
Answer: Three steps.
Step one: Erase its link to the Crimson Universe.
Step two: Rewrite the energy filtering mechanism, making it a common carrier for Crimson Energy and Rage Red Light.
Step three: Toss in the small figurine, Blood Slaughter Ox.
Done!
Although Li Chengfeng was using Ion Man's power for the first time, he used it with ease, completing the forging of the Ancestral Red Lantern Lantern Furnace just before the last second.
He even had time to casually package all the crimson mixed energy that enveloped the entire Fox River Prison and stuff it into the Red Lantern Corps.
…
Outside the Warden's Building, the Asgardian siblings were locked in a tug-of-war with "Setorak."
Although the energy level was higher than the current Hela, and it possessed a trace of consciousness brought by Setorak's gaze.
But a fake is a fake after all.
Although the three siblings, Hela, were quite cautious at first when they hadn't figured out "Setorak's" tactics.
But as they fought, they discovered that although this tall red giant possessed immense power, it…
Was too clumsy.
If Li Chengfeng were here at this moment, he would immediately see through the trick.
Because this so-called "Setorak" was still formed based on a Red Tank; although its energy level had been raised, its combat style and the essence of its power had not changed.
At most, because it was mixed with Rage Red Light, it could spew out terrifying blood flames from its mouth that clung like maggots to bone.
But the wind-up was simply too long!
Among the three Asgardian siblings, Hela and Loki were not only skilled in magic but also agile types, and even Thor, the brute, was fast and agile enough to cope.
But the problem was that this huge flaw of the opponent was exchanged for super thick defense and health.
By the end of the fight, Hela even began to wonder if she, even at her peak, would have a hard time dealing with this super punching bag.
However, after vaguely hearing a soft and sharp loli voice, the originally terrifying crimson energy suddenly receded from "Setorak" like a tide, and then all at once burrowed into the Warden's Building.
"Setorak" clenched his fists, seemingly not quite satisfied.
"Gods from Asgard, I am very satisfied with this massage, and I… will always watch you."
But the departure of power made that trace of Setorak's consciousness know that this entertainment was over.
…
The fifteenth second.
The Ion Man state ended, and the extremely weak, brittle shark emerged from Li Chengfeng's heart.
And the Red Lantern Corps, as if an altar ignited with divine fire, burned fiercely with red light, and a Red Lantern Corps completely different from the original appeared before Li Chengfeng.
Since the original crafting material was four of Setorak's Crimson Gems, the entire Lantern Furnace was scarlet and translucent.
Li Chengfeng unhesitatingly picked up the Red Lantern Corps with one hand.
He saw Blood Slaughter Ox circling wildly inside the Red Lantern Corps as if having a blast.
"Holy crap!? Woke up and the communal bunk was directly replaced with a big villa!? You human are surprisingly kind-hearted."
"Do you know how good Gege is now?" Li Chengfeng lifted the Lantern Furnace to his eye, "Then why don't you quickly give me the Ancestral Red Lantern Ring as a thank you gift?"
"Uh… Although you have unparalleled willpower, it doesn't seem to meet the Red Lantern standard…"
"Think again?"
Blood Slaughter Ox was about to say something, but then he noticed that the Red Lantern Corps was actually stirring. He could only kick his little ox hooves and run to the corner, watching the energy within the Lantern Furnace surge and swirl, finally condensing into a translucent Lantern Ring of the same material as the Lantern Furnace.
Then it transformed into a red light, rushed out of the Lantern Furnace, circled around Li Chengfeng for a long time, and finally stopped.
"Intelligent life locked.
Li Chengfeng from Earth.
Your heart churns with surging rage.
You belong to the Red Lantern Corps."
This scene made Blood Slaughter Ox, also a newborn Lantern Beast, unable to help but shout in his tender loli voice:
"Holy mother of all cows! How can a Green Lantern wielder, who is terrifyingly calm, possess such monstrous rage and hatred!? Are you playing with Niu Niu?"
"Little Niu Niu, Gege will teach you a principle." Li Chengfeng, however, was not surprised at all. Instead, he reached out a finger and rubbed the little ox of the loli voice, "Every Republic Person who has studied modern history will always have monstrous rage entrenched in their heart, never extinguishing."
As he spoke, he extended the hand wearing the Green Lantern Ring. The Red Lantern Ring seemed to have an automatic navigation function, actively avoiding the index finger where the Green Lantern Ring was, and then slipping onto the middle finger.
"Boiling hot blood, scarlet rage,
Taken from bones not yet cold.
Deep hatred cooks the heart and lungs,
Forging your path to the Yellow Springs!"
