I want to have a date with Superman

There are no traps in the black ball, just corpses all over the ground.

Hundreds of little blue men were lying on the ground in twisted postures, with expressions of pain and fear frozen on their faces.

They all suffered cruel torture and died miserably while struggling.

On the outside, it looks like it died from the star-absorbing technique. The muscles are shriveled and the skin sticks to the bones, like a rat that has been dried for many years.

Only the five little blue men in a circle in the center of the corpse were still breathing.

The one who used the power of his mind to cry out for help before was one of them.

"Palco, what's wrong with you?" Simon squatted next to a white-haired old lady wearing goggles and asked with an angry expression: "Is it a disaster? What did he do?"

"He played crazily with our lives, choosing countless angles from the timeline to distort our reality." The old lady Blue Man looked at the corpses of her compatriots around her and said sadly: "He needs emotional energy to restore his own strength, so he distorts us reality, stimulating our emotions to the greatest extent.

Our emotional energy is drained, and our vitality is quickly depleted. That devil, woo woo woo.”

Simon Baz looked at the old man with pity and asked puzzledly: "But how long have you been away? And, didn't you run away? How did the disaster find you so quickly?"

"The length of time has no meaning to Firong. He is above time, and all the secrets in the universe are in front of him like lines in the palm of his hand.

As long as we are still in the universe, it is useless no matter where we escape.

He was in front of us in the next moment, and in an instant, all of our lives were distorted by him. "The old lady with the little blue man closed her eyes in pain, not wanting to see the miserable scene in the field anymore.

Simon Baz subconsciously raised his head to look at Harley, "Firong seemed to have been in a stalemate with Admiral Galaxy for a long time just now."

Harley said calmly: "Deducting the time it takes for him to recover from his injuries, the battle actually lasts only a moment.

Reality distortion occurs on the timeline, no matter how much time has passed, in reality it is only a moment.

I held it, but he spurted blood the next moment. I couldn't hold it, and he killed me instantly.

The attack of modifying reality is so direct and cruel. "

"Harley, you resisted attacks that modified reality because of the power of Manhattan's ability to protect the timeline, right? In theory, your time protection will stabilize the timeline of the entire universe. Why are they? Do you know their situation? Kyle asked, pointing to the body of the little blue man.

Harley shook her head and said, "I only protect my own timeline.

The river of time that stabilizes the universe is a side effect.

Now I have twisted my timeline into a rope and separated myself from the river of time.

As long as they don't interfere with my history, Fu Rong can do whatever he wants.

For example, this group of little blue people used to stay in the black hole shelter and had almost no interaction with me. When Firong went back in time to kill them, it only changed their reality and their influence on me. I had a relationship with them and changed Their reality must have had some impact on me, but I can accept such minor modifications.

As long as I accept it, I can save a lot of effort and he will not encounter my counterattack. "

"Ah, so the absolute guarantee of the river of time in the main universe is gone now? Why don't you continue to protect the river of time in the universe because the disaster is too strong?" Kyle exclaimed.

"What is absolute guarantee?" The little blue man's old lady opened her eyes and asked in confusion.

Kyle pointed at Harley and said: "She once obtained the power of Manhattan and has the superpower to stabilize her personal timeline.

And because she is part of the main universe and has great influence, once anyone interferes with the timeline of the main universe, it will affect her personal timeline and she will fight back.

In this way, the stability of the river of time in the entire universe is passively guaranteed.

Did you see it just now?

Firong tried to modify her past and distort her present, but failed. "

"It was a spurt of blood! The nose was spurting blood, and the ears, eyes, and mouth were all squirting, and the screams were so painful that it was so painful to watch." Guy Gardner gloated.

"I didn't see it." The old lady of the little blue man turned to Harley, a look of regret appeared on her old and shriveled face, "I thought Harley Quinn would be cruelly played by him, just like he did to us 3 billion years ago. That way.”

"Since you know him so well and know that he has the ability to be almost omniscient, why do you still want to escape? Can you escape?

If you stay, more than a thousand guardians will use the power of the mind to cooperate with Harley to pull Firong out of the river of time, and the crisis will be over by now. " Kyle sighed.

"If he hides in the shadow space in time, where there is no time and no laws, he will not be able to play with our lives, and he may even be suppressed by us again.

It's a shame that evil has been targeting us for a long time. He has a time clone that has been guarding the edge of the super black hole in sector 0. We have fallen into the trap ourselves. "

The old lady with the little blue man said with regret in her voice, “I didn’t even know who Harley Quinn was before.

Even though I had a few chats with Simon and Becky, I thought she was just a once-in-a-century ‘contemporary hero’.

In our era, Chudeng Huirong was the strongest existence, and no one could compete with him head-on.

Gods and demons were no different from ants in front of him.

Never would I have thought that a mortal would be able to withstand his most powerful killing move now."

Having said this, she looked at Harry with complicated eyes, "You have been turning on the 'River of Time Stability Guarantee' before, why are you turning it off now?"

Harley said calmly: "Not today, it was closed long after the multi-dimensional restart.

There are countless parallel universes in the multiverse, and each universe has entities that can interfere with the river of time, such as prophecies and time travel.

If I continue to turn on the "River of Time Stability Guarantee", I may be interrupted thousands of times per minute, which is very annoying.

Now I only provide timeline stability guarantee for the earth.

My relationship with the earth is too close to be severed.

If it were an alien planet other than the Earth, what happened there would have little impact on me. I wouldn't care, and I don't need to care. "

The old lady with the little blue man looked bitter, but said nothing.

Kyle asked again: "Harry, you just said that your timeline was twisted into a rope and separated from the river of time.

Does this mean the same thing as giving up the stability guarantee of the universe’s timeline? "

He had previously thought that the timeline separation that Harley was talking about meant giving up stability, but now she said that she had given up security long ago. Apparently he had just understood it wrong.

"It makes no difference to you. I separated my timeline from the river of time in the main universe, just to prevent evil from touching my timeline.

In the past, he would fail and cause backlash.

Now let alone trying to distort my reality, he can't even see my timeline. "Harry said with a faint smile.

Kyle was confused, "What's the point? He can't distort your reality anyway, just so that you won't be disturbed?"

"If it were anyone else, and they suffered continuous backlash, they would never dare to distort my timeline again. If they were rational people, they would not try it at all after knowing that I have the ability to stabilize the timeline.

But Fu Rong is a freak.

He is not the strongest enemy I have ever encountered, but he is the controller of white light, has extremely strong recovery ability, is also psychopathic, and loves to play with other people's lives."

Harley glanced at the corpse of the little blue man on the ground, "Well, now I understand that distorting reality is not only a hobby, but he can also extract emotional roots from it.

You need to gather the Seven Lamp Rings as an energy source to condense the white light.

He is somewhat similar to the lampmon in that he can directly extract emotional power from the emotional activities of life.

Kyle, you have to be careful, his white light realm seems to be a higher level than yours. "

Kyle hesitated and said: "Don't talk about the realm, I don't know how long it will take to master the full set of seven lantern skills.

Alas, now that I have lost your protection, what should I do? "

Harley looked down at the little blue old woman and said with certainty: "The disaster did not distort their reality.

If their history is changed, they will not continue to stay in the black ball, they will not leave bodies behind, and they will not remember to come back to me for help. "

"Really?" Kyle squatted down and asked, "Palco, has your life been changed?"

Old Mrs. Palco hesitated for a while, then slowly shook her head and said, "It seems not."

"It seems?" Kyle frowned, "You can't remember clearly?"

Mrs. Palco smiled bitterly and said: "Judging from the results, it seems that he just pulled me into a time fragment, which contains my whole life, but my experiences and feelings in it are no different from the real ones."

"I can be 100% sure that his distorted reality has not replaced the real reality. As long as the reality is slightly distorted, I can at least detect it." Harley said.

"What does that mean?" Kyle asked.

Harley was unsure: "Perhaps due to cost considerations, perhaps he really lacks strength.

In short, he is currently just torturing people with the illusion of time to gain emotional energy.

If you keep this in mind, even if you are targeted by him in the future, you can use your firm will to fight against his reality distortion. "

Kyle was lost in thought.

Guy Gardner put on a flattering smile and said, "Harry, can you add me to the 'timeline insurance list'?

You see, the little blue man's spiritual power is so strong, he has defeated him.

I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to experience the humiliation of having my life played against me. "

"Well, let's do this." Harley thought for a while and said, "When you encounter disaster, just stick to your thoughts and recall the scene with me in your mind."

"Then you can sense something and help us stabilize the timeline?" Gagardner asked.

"As long as he distorts your past, the scene where you get along with me will change. The change of scene means that my timeline is also touched.

At that time, I will take action selectively and decide whether to help you stabilize the 'real reality'. " Harley nodded.

"Why do you have to take action selectively?" Gai asked doubtfully.

"If Firong plays with the Guardian's life, and the Guardian occupies a large proportion in your life, you must be implicated. Did you feel the fragmentation of reality when Firong distorted my timeline before?

Just like a mirror broken into millions of pieces, there is a different version of yourself in each piece. "Harry asked curiously.

Kyle nodded quickly and said, "Yes, my life has also been twisted into millions of pieces."

Gai Gardner said awkwardly: "I just felt uncomfortable and didn't see any broken glass."

"Me too." John said.

"I don't feel anything." Kilowog muttered as he scratched his head.

The expressions of the other old green lights became more relaxed.

Harley continued the previous topic and said: "If the evil had not taken action against you, your reality might have been slightly adjusted due to the distortion of other people's timelines.

I won't take action at this time, I wish those trouble-making little blue men would be unlucky.

If I try so hard and end up helping them indirectly, I will die.

By letting you recall your experiences with me in your mind, I can pinpoint the part of my distorted reality and determine who was the victim of the disaster.

For example, if you were bitten by the Black Lantern female corpse, I would help you find a demon nurse.

When you recall this memory, in the picture of my life, the picture of "when the black light comes at night, I will take you to cure the disease" will become blurry and very eye-catching.

Among the many blurry pictures, this picture stood out the most, and since there were only you and me in the picture, I immediately judged that something was wrong with you. "

"Oh, I understand." Guy Gardner suddenly realized.

"The Guardians of the Universe are dead, you don't have to hold grudges against them anymore." Old Mrs. Palco whispered.

Harley was stunned for a moment and sneered: "They have no emotions, are not afraid of death or pain, and with Fu Rong's happy-go-lucky personality, 80% will not kill them easily."

"Oh, it doesn't matter. After today, Maltus will be completely reduced to history." The old lady said painfully.

Harry endured it for a while, and then swallowed back the words "You deserve it, God is wise, and you will not be punished" that rushed to your throat.

"Is this black ball a black hole? What is its relationship with the previous lantern prison?" she asked.

The old lady said slowly: "Its technical principle is very different from that of a black hole. If you are not interested in scientific research, you can simply understand it as a black hole compressed from the planet Maltus.

We, the remnants of Maltus, form the 'Shadow Cabinet' together.

As our residence, you can also call it the 'Shadow Cabinet'.

The name comes from the space we live in - the Shadow Dimension, an 'extra-universe space' located within the universe. "

"Since it's outside the universe, how can it be inside the universe?" Gai said blankly.

"Using the analogy of your earthlings' painting art, on a piece of white paper, apart from the painting itself, there must be blank space. It is impossible for the entire paper to be filled with paintings."

Kyle Rayner, an artist, painter, and comic illustrator, immediately disagreed: "Many paintings have no blank space at all, such as oil paintings, which often require several layers of color."

The old lady said: "I'm just using a metaphor. Our multiverse is a picture, drawn on white paper. The meaningless blank space on the paper is the shadow cabinet.

Even the meaningless blank is part of the whole painting, so it is within the universe.

But it is also a blank white paper, with nothing in it, and it belongs to the outside of the universe, without laws or matter. "

After a pause, and after everyone had finished digesting this information, the old blue man continued: "In the 3 billion years of the shadow space, we have been living in the shadow cabinet, and the prison is placed inside the 'black ball'.

When the Guardians decide to create a third legion, they will put us in prison together with the ‘Black Ball’.

The black ball is a black hole, and the prison is an energy state structure. They are not the same, but they are both space structures and can accommodate each other. "

"It is indeed the technological crystallization of a super civilization. It can actually reach the 'foundation of the universe'. It's amazing." Harley praised it and asked: "What are your plans now?"

"What about you? Will you hunt down the troublemaker?" The old lady looked at her eagerly, her eyes full of expectation.

"I want to return to Earth. The disaster is not my responsibility, and I can't catch him. Or, is there any way you can force him to have a fight to the death with me?" Harley asked.

The old lady's face changed several times and she said, "Can we go to Earth with you?"

"Going to take refuge?" Harley asked strangely.

The old lady nodded with difficulty, "The evil is hunting us, there are only five of us left."

"Hey, Lord Guardian, you have gone to Earth to take refuge. Who will guide us to rebuild the Legion and fight against the evil? Stay, the Green Lantern Corps needs you, and we can't do without you." Chicken-headed Lantern Thomas Tuji said .

Harley glanced at him. The twenty-five-year-old boy who used to be disgusted with looked at him now, and now he looked particularly lovable!

"No, we are not the Guardians of the Universe." The old lady of the little blue man seemed to be particularly concerned about the title "Guardian". She waved her hands to clear the relationship and said: "Not all Martus people are 'Guardians of the Universe'. We belong to 'Shadow Cabinet', we didn't cut off the emotions, we still retained the humanity."

"We just need an emotional and humane sage like you to be our guardian." Tomato even had a pleading look on his face.

"Of more than 1,500 of our clansmen, only five of us were killed by the evil forces. What else do you expect us to do?" After scanning the circle of miserable-looking bones around her, the corners of the old lady's eyes became wet again.

John Stewart said: "Palco suffered a sudden change, and his mental and physical condition is very bad. We will talk about the Green Lantern Guardian later.

And what can we do if we stay in Oua? Let’s all go back to Earth to repair. "

Tomato thought for a while and did not object. He just asked, "What about the central energy battery?"

"The central battery has long been destroyed by the guardians." Legion Commander Sarak sighed.

Tomatu was surprised, "When? I don't feel it."

"You didn't feel it, but I did. After the central battery received the self-destruct command, I quickly used the authority of the legion commander to cut off the link between the light ring and the central battery."

Speaking of this, Sarak also looked at Harley and Kyle with a complicated look, "Fortunately, when the Green Lantern Corps was rebuilt, the Guardians were deprived of their absolute control over the central furnace.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t even be able to use the light ring and would be directly assimilated by the blue monster. "

Speaking of the blue monster, Kyle thought of the tens of thousands of Green Lantern teammates who died unjustly. He couldn't help but turn to Harley and asked: "Have you been here long ago? Long before the Lantern turned into the blue monster."

"That's right, I arrived in Oa more than half an hour earlier than you all." Harley guessed what he was thinking, and before he could ask why he didn't show up in time to turn the tide, she sneered: "But don't expect me to come out. Rescue.

You have personally experienced what happened at that time.

The Guardians had already planned it, and their rhetoric to smear the blue monster as the submojo virus was very logical and clear, and even had hundreds of Green Lanterns as witnesses.

To stop their conspiracy, they can only rely on one thing - the trust of the Green Lantern Corps.

It's a pity that they don't even believe you. What can I do if I come out? "

"Hey, why don't they believe us?" Kyle sighed and said in a low mood: "I didn't completely deny the Guardians. I just took the potion to the earth to test it. Am I not willing to wait for a few hours?"

Sarak patted him on the shoulder, "We always trust you and Hal. They have just joined the Legion not long ago and they lack understanding of you."

Natu lowered his head, blushing, feeling embarrassed and guilty.

She did not support Kyle at that time, but instead spoke for the Guardian as an "expert".
