Chapter 711: Chapter 486 Codename Jade (Lower) _2

"Do you know, Hal? Our current corps leader Tylenol is just a desperate appointment. He's not suitable for the position at all. But you, you are the best candidate for the corps leader."

Owen turned his head to look out of the window, where many Green Lanterns were flying. He said, "You will take over this powerful corps, and all civilizations in the cosmos will respect you. You will bring peace and justice to the entire cosmos, what a glory..."

"I refuse."

When Hal's voice fell, it was like a thunderbolt echoing in the clear sky. Owen turned around abruptly, coldly staring at Hal. Hal repeated once again: "I refuse."

"Are you crazy?" Owen's voice became even colder: "You could become the leader of the Green Lantern Corps, commanding the entire Green Lantern Corps, becoming the greatest Green Lantern!"

"I'll say it one last time. I refuse."

Hal raised the Green Lantern Ring he had been clutching in his hand. He said: "When it first chose me, the peace and justice it portrayed deeply moved me, giving me a direction in life. I thought that if I could devote my life to the cause of great justice, I would die without regret."

"But now, your words and your rhetoric make me feel deeply disgusted."

With that, he threw out the ring. When the metal ring hit Owen's metal armor, the collision sound was even more fierce than the thunder, almost deafening.

Hal wanted to turn and leave, but all of a sudden, a strong green shock wave knocked him aside. With a "pop", he hit the wall, and after falling to the ground, he crumbled there.

"Cough, cough..." Hal coughed hard a few times, feeling as if his ribs had broken. He saw Owen approaching with a distorted face, and Owen's voice had also become twisted.

"I have no idea why they chose you! A yokel from a remote area. You just got lucky and saved those wastes, so you were favored by them. They even want to make you a hero!"

"Who are they? Cough, cough... Who are they?" Hal bore the pain, breathed with difficulty and asked.

"You cannot understand them because you are just a lowly creature that can't even fly. Whereas they, they are a superior civilization born at the beginning of the cosmos, with advanced technologies that you can't imagine. The Green Lantern Corps is their creation. I call them, the Guardians of the Universe..."

Hal kept coughing uncontrollably and felt short of breath. The Green Lantern ring he had thrown away suddenly flew up, aiming to fly back to him, but Owen swatted it away with one hand.

"I really want to kill you, but I can't disobey their orders. So, it's best if you behave yourself..."

With a "boom", the door was pushed open. The leader of the Green Lantern Corps, Tylenol strode in. He said to Owen: "Stop it! You're going too far, Owen!"

"Tylenol, do you want to disobey their orders?"

"They didn't tell you to hurt him." Tylenol glanced at Hal lying on the ground and said: "No point in hurting him or forcing him to do something. If he can't voluntarily summon the Lantern ring, what kind of Green Lantern hero is he?"

"Stop lecturing me, Tylenol. You should understand that without your cunning schemes, this position should have been mine!"

Tylenol sighed and said: "Everything you have was given by them, so you worship them like gods. But have you ever wondered why they don't want you to become the corps leader? Because you are not a real Green Lantern at all. Your ring is specially made, you..."

"Boom!" A thick green beam hit Tylenol, throwing him aside. Tylenol's shield suddenly lit up, but Owen lifted the sword transformed from green light and rushed forward.

"Stop it!" Hal shouted.

But Owen showed no intention of stopping. He seemed to have been stimulated to the point of madness. Hal lay there, taking a deep breath.

Then, he slowly floated up. A more intense green light emanated from his body. The Ion Shark, which had not appeared since he took off the ring, once again emerged from his chest.

Wounds healing, energy recovering, powers surging. Hal stretched his body in the air. The green light in his body was like a solid emerald, like a thick forest, different from everyone else but even more beautiful.

In an instant, a giant green hand grabbed Owen and lifted him into the air. As Owen struggled, he turned his head and saw the still-floating ring in the distance, and Hal's empty fingers. He screamed,

"This is impossible!! You don't have the ring!! How could you..."

"Yes." Hal spoke as if sighing: "I don't have the ring, but I can still use the Green Lantern's energy. So, what's the use of the ring? Who made it? And who is controlling it?"

"Greater justice..." Hal took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He swallowed back everything he wanted to say, ultimately saying nothing.

"Put him down, Hal! You can't kill people in the headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps. You will trigger an alarm. Let him go quickly!"

Tylenol kept pleading, but he did not hold much hope. It was clear that Hal was extremely angry. Anyone who had been attacked in this way would probably not let the assailant go.

But to his surprise, the giant green hand did let go. As the green light dissipated, Hal slowly descended and came to Tylenol. He helped him up.

Tylenol sighed and said to Hal: "You should leave quickly. If they come, I'm afraid you will not be able to escape."

He looked into Hal's eyes and said: "I also come from a remote sector. My civilization still does not have its own nation as of today, but it doesn't matter. It will always be my home. One day, I will return there."

"Do not return after you get back to Earth." After he finished, Tylenol turned and walked towards Owen.

But at that moment, he saw Hal turn around, walk towards the ring, pick it up, put it back on his finger, and then ask:

"When is the awarding ceremony?"

Tylenol saw Hal standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his back against the light outside, his expression hidden in the dark.

Hal's eyes were half-closed, his face showed no anger or sorrow, only an unreadable calm.

In the mansion, the night had passed. As the light of dawn rose from the horizon, a ring radiating green light crossed the bright light and stopped in front of Shiller.

Shiller reached out a hand. The moment his fingertip touched the ring, countless pieces of information were transmitted to his brain, and at the end of these pieces of information, he heard a slightly sighing voice:

"Hal Jordan has logged on... Codename... Emerald."
