Chapter 375 - Chapter 343: The Lantern Group for All

"We've already encountered the Static Force user, and we've killed him. Now we're trying to rely on Barry to close this door."

Diana said helplessly. She didn't blame Deathstroke; in such a situation, it's better to deal with the enemy thoroughly.

Now, talking about what ifs is unrealistic, all pointless. It's better to focus on solving the problem.

John scratched his head, looking over at Deathstroke leaning by the door, while Barry had just left.

"Alright, so it seems now we have to find a way to deal with the Eclipso entity."

"It's just outside the Solar System, but for safety, we need its trajectory and various parameters, which require triangulation to determine," Steel Bone immediately interjected.

"The Watchtower on the Moon." John nodded affirmatively. Although the Moon was blasted into fragments and the angle with Earth isn't much, it's indeed the easiest place to perform triangulation.

"Let's go."

Steel Bone didn't hesitate either. He and John left the medical room immediately, flying into space through the large hole John had made.

Su Ming had no intention of acting with them. The two planned to play computers on the Moon's fragments, which didn't interest him. He meticulously calculated the intelligence obtained so far, predicting Sinestro's next move.

Yes, as the Secret Keeper, given that the Eclipso had escaped, was it possible that Sinestro was completely unaware?

The only explanation is that he chose to let it be, or rather chose to be controlled by the Invisible Spectrum.

As a Lantern Group, it will inevitably expand its manpower and issue rings, so as long as he keeps recalling regretful things, the ring will undoubtedly find its way to him when the group grows.

He could obtain a Yellow Lantern Ring through Fear Venom, and if he released all the anger in his heart, surely he could obtain the Red Lantern, and his willpower is enough to meet the Green Lantern's requirements.

His level could obtain rings from three Lantern Groups, so getting rings from other groups wouldn't be a problem.

Su Ming wasn't worried about being controlled by energy; after all, he's a man with X Metal.

The only difficulty now was that he didn't seem to have anything to regret.

As a soul of the Celestial Dynasty, although his past life was ordinary, it was also peaceful, living a Buddhist life.

Life is like a chess game, no regrets for the moves made.

He strived to do his best at every turn, so there's nothing to regret.

"Mr. Zhuoyue, does the Justice League have any regret medicine? Give me a bottle; I want some regretful emotions."

Su Ming sighed. He wanted to see if he could use the method he got the Yellow Lantern last time, borrowing some external force.

"???"

Mr. Zhuoyue, a Black Man, who's tidying up his bedding, seemed to have a few question marks popping above his head.

Don't normal people know that regret medicine doesn't exist? And although it's called regret medicine, it's used to make people change their mind, not to make them feel regret after taking it!

Just seeing his expression, Su Ming knew it was no use, so he raised his head to look at the chandelier on the ceiling, recalling running under the sunset of bygone days, that was his youth.

His life was without regret.

Diana had already covered her face, unable to watch. She didn't know what Deathstroke was planning, but it always felt very subtle.

Sea King scratched his head, though he did have a suggestion: "Why don't you consider the Cyan Lantern? Their rings seem to make people regret."

Su Ming rolled his eyes at him. If he really wore a Cyan Lantern Ring, he'd truly be regretting it.

It would block all emotions, leaving only compassion in the heart, essentially transforming one into a super Saint Mother Syndrome. All its group members were once criminals, irredeemable scoundrels.

Yet after wearing the Cyan Lantern Ring, they wouldn't even swat mosquitoes drinking their blood...

It's simply bizarre. Truly the ultimate brainwashing tool, whoever wears it turns into a fool, but Su Ming quite likes these fools. Who doesn't like a Saint Mother?

But how can he get some regretful feelings...

Su Ming walked out of the medical room smoking a cigarette, flew out through the big hole, and sat on the roof of the Hall of Justice basking in the sun. At this time, the Magic Floating Cloak nudged him, flying down from his shoulder, signalling for him to watch it.

He saw it was still curled around a corner, holding the gemstone Su Ming had given it underwater, it lifted the gemstone up, and then it shone with a flash of light.

The gemstone gradually melted, disappearing into its fibers...

The Magic Floating Cloak shook its collar, making a gesture like a magician bowing at the end of a performance, bowing in all directions, as if saying: 'Look, I made the gemstone disappear!'

Regret.

Truly regretful, he shouldn't have let it rummage through his pocket earlier, the energy from that original gemstone should have been enough.

At that time, just to be safe, he took out another gemstone as backup, intending to retrieve it, but after being ambushed back at the Hall of Justice, he hadn't had a moment to care about it.

Resulting in it being 'eaten' by the cloak.

What to do now? Grab the cloak by the neck, shake it, and make it spit it out?

That's impossible now, all that's left is regret.

Just then, a purple light fell from the sky, landing directly on Su Ming's finger.

No oath, no welcome, the Unseen Light Legion's ring abruptly passed through his armor, appearing on his finger.

"Could it have worked?"

Not so indeed, as Su Ming looked up to the sky, countless purple lights fell like rain onto the ground, besides the few from the Justice League, street pedestrians, and tourists in the square were all selected by the Eclipso Star.

It chose 99% of Earth's population to join the Unseen Legion!

Soon after, Su Ming felt a powerful will invading his mind, but as it touched the skull made of X Metal, it dissipated instantly.

The ring was still there, but Su Ming wasn't under control, though ordinary people on the street at this moment all wore purple-black uniforms, expressionlessly flying towards the Hall of Justice.

"This doesn't look good..."

Su Ming was unsure of the Hall of Justice's defense capability, whether it could withstand the sequential attacks from billions of Lantern Heroes, but evidently, Steel Bone and John's mission in the cosmos had failed, presumably blocked by Sinestro.

"Mr. Zhuoyue, raise the Hall of Justice's shield!" Su Ming shouted loudly down the hole.

No response, Mr. Zhuoyue had fled....

"Tch... this guy's really frustrating."

Su Ming jumped down the hole, found Barry who was meditating, and brought him to the control panel, finally managing to open the shield.

Barry operated the cameras to observe the situation outside; at this point, thousands of Unseen Lantern Heroes were already using their rings to shoot flickering purple rays, attacking the Hall of Justice.

Meanwhile, the Female Hero and Sea King still needed to deal with those tourists who had previously been visiting the hall's interior; they couldn't spare any attention.

"What should we do? The shield won't hold for a few hours," Barry sought advice from Su Ming, just relying on him.

"A few hours? More than enough, inform the Suicide Squad to assist with coordinated defense, have Death Shooter go on the rooftop to take down those folks, I'll go handle the Eclipso Star."

He removed the cigarette butt from his mouth, handing it to Barry, who took it somewhat bewilderedly, not knowing what Deathstroke meant.

Su Ming smiled indifferently, donned his helmet, and let the Magic Floating Cloak return to his shoulders.

"Put down the smoke, I'll be back soon."

Barry was even more confused. Why was he suddenly speaking Chinese?
