Chapter 4392: Far Star Project (17)

More Yellow Lantern energy poured into his body, followed by a new round of slaughter and conversion. Victor stored a large amount of Green Lantern energy in his body, then grabbed Hal's arm and poured all the Green Lantern energy into the ring in one go.

But this still wasn't enough. This could only allow Hal to master enough energy the moment he regained autonomous consciousness, but the key to bringing the dead back to life still lay with the Mother Box.

Victor began to try to use the Green Lantern energy in his body to communicate with the Green Lantern energy in Hal's body. He first controlled the Green Lantern energy in Hal's body to repair his body, restoring all previous injuries.

But even so, it was only obtaining an intact corpse. What exactly was the key to bringing the dead back to life?

Victor tried desperately to recall. Soon, some memory fragments began to surface from the depths of his mind—how could he have forgotten, he was also a person who had died once.

Only until this moment did Victor finally discover that his father hadn't actually cured him, but resurrected him.

Previously, because of his mother's death, Victor had never dared to think carefully about this memory, but now he needed to resurrect his teammate, so he could only endure the sadness and fear and look for clues from this memory.

Fortunately, he really found it. The key lay in the fact that before he regained consciousness—that is to say, before he came back to life—he had a hazy memory.

This memory didn't belong to him, but to the Mother Box. He felt that he was first placed on a table, then picked up by someone... and then? And then what happened???

Victor continued to try hard to recall. At that moment, his memory overlapped with the Mother Box's memory. Between the starting point of his memory and the end point of the Mother Box's memory, there was a burst of intense white light—thermal energy! Huge thermal energy was the key to activating the Mother Box!

His father had used this principle to completely activate the Mother Box and let the Mother Box fuse into his body. But now, where was he to find huge thermal energy?!

Victor looked around; this place was desolate, there was nothing, let alone volcanoes or anything. Just when he was extremely anxious, a voice suddenly rang out:

"Encountering difficulties? Poor little thing?"

Victor was startled; this voice was familiar amidst the strangeness. He recalled—wasn't this Lex Luthor?!

Wait a minute! Victor stood up suddenly. Luthor Corp had factories; they almost monopolized the energy industry in Metropolis; he must be able to get enough thermal energy there!

"Listen Luthor, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you," Victor said, "I need a large amount of thermal energy to activate the Mother Box to resurrect Hal; where is your energy center?!"

"Energy center? That place doesn't have anything useful; you follow my coordinates now; there is a Luthor Corp undersea thermal energy pipeline there; the output energy is enough for you to use."

Victor carried Hal and flew toward those coordinates. On the way, he also asked Luthor: "Have you been monitoring us?"

"How is that possible? I just finished cleaning up the previous mess; I originally wanted to see what you were doing, and ended up discovering that you motherfuckers made an even bigger mess! What's going on with so many monsters?!"

"I don't know either, but that's not the problem now." Victor judged the direction and discovered the location was right here, so he took Hal and sank into the seabed, and sure enough, discovered the undersea thermal energy pipeline Luthor mentioned.

"How to do it? How do I get the thermal energy inside here?"

"Of course, do what you vandals are best at—just cut it."

Victor didn't hesitate anymore, let out a low growl, shot lasers from his eyes, and cut the huge functional pipeline directly. A large amount of thermal energy diffused, and the surrounding seawater was almost boiled instantly. Victor didn't dodge or evade, but instead carried Hal and faced it. The huge thermal energy wash instantly burned away most of his skin.

Victor let out an intense scream, and immediately after, his muscles were also dissolved, revealing his skeleton. His whole person was almost burned into a skeleton. However, under this powerful thermal energy, the Mother Box emitted an increasingly powerful light, and this light not only preserved Victor but also, just like when it resurrected Victor, resurrected Hal directly.

The moment Hal woke up, he felt the peerless heat. He subconsciously drove the Green Lantern energy; fortunately, Victor had already filled his ring. The next second, Green Lantern energy dragged the two of them to the surface.

Victor's injuries hadn't been completely repaired; the remaining half of his flesh and skin had peeled off, most of his ribs were exposed, and one could even vaguely see his beating heart.

Hal's eyes turned red instantly, not because of sadness, but because of anger; damn Steppenwolf!!!!

Fortunately, the Mother Box had been repairing Victor's body. Hal had already discovered that this seemed to have given Victor and the Mother Box a deeper connection. But at this moment, he didn't have time to care about so much; he couldn't even go to avenge Victor, because he had to save Victor now.

Steppenwolf hadn't given up; even under the siege of several Green Lanterns, he still kept rushing toward this side. If Hal rushed up to fight him to the death, he might be caught in a gap and grab Victor again. So the best way now was to take Victor and leave.

Hal wrapped the two of them with Green Lantern energy and flew toward the city. He needed to find a safe place to put Victor down. And out of trust in Wayne, the first place he thought of was naturally the Justice League base.

And when he landed in the center of the base's courtyard and saw a Schiller on the left and a Doomsday on the right, the sky collapsed.

Doomsday had evolved back into a normal size, much smaller than before, just a bit bigger than a normal person, and was currently eating a huge donut with that group of police officers. Schiller was boiling coffee for them on the side.

Hal couldn't help but close his eyes; he must be dreaming! Otherwise, how could he see a group of people sitting in the Justice League base drinking coffee and eating donuts? More importantly, why the fuck was this donut so big?!!

If it wasn't a dream, then he must have overdosed on drugs; if he hadn't overdosed, then it must be poisonous mushrooms. All of this was too unreasonable.

But unexpectedly, the protagonist in the dream actually walked up to talk to him. Schiller looked them up and down, then said: "Are you guys okay?"

Hal's mood now was "I really don't have time to play with you guys." He bypassed Schiller directly, walked toward the base's basement, carried Victor and placed him on the experimental table; it shouldn't take long for Victor to recover.

Hal flew out again. He must kill Steppenwolf today!

Watching Hal's back, Schiller took out his phone and said: "The last wave of the team fight, aren't you coming yet?"

A low voice came from the other end of the phone: "Arriving immediately."

Hal, who flew back to the beach, didn't rush to wake the others first, because he knew his previous strategy was wrong—he shouldn't have fought Steppenwolf first, but should have repelled the Parallax entity first, so that everyone wouldn't be mentally interfered with, and then deal with Steppenwolf together.

And as for how to repel the Parallax entity, Hal didn't need to think much. After that conversion by Victor, the Green Lantern energy in his ring was now off the charts. He directly slammed into the Parallax entity's head like a green bullet.

The Parallax entity let out a cry of pain and immediately stretched out tentacles to grab at Hal. But Hal's figure was flexible; a kick on the left, a punch on the right, beating the Parallax entity until it retreated steadily.

Steppenwolf obviously also realized something was wrong; if Hal were allowed to repel the Parallax entity so smoothly, once the Justice League woke up, although they might still not be able to beat him, it would definitely delay his time greatly. What he feared wasn't the Justice League, but the deadline set by Darkseid.

So he also gritted his teeth, slammed into the leader of the Green Lantern squad who had pounced over with a headbutt, and flew toward the sky with a "whoosh".

Now Hal had learned to be smart. More importantly, Steppenwolf was anxious; that wave of fear disturbance earlier hadn't been in vain. In order to stop Hal, Steppenwolf was also muddled, blindly chasing Hal, but instead was led by Hal to continuously strike the Parallax entity.

Although he didn't restrain the Parallax entity, that brute force was painful enough when hitting people. The Parallax entity was beaten by him until it howled, continuously retracting tentacles wanting to run.

Hal saw the timing, drove the Parallax entity to fly outside Earth. The other Green Lanterns also discovered this was effective, directly surrounding the Parallax entity and releasing Green Lantern energy, dragging it out of the atmosphere.

"Leave it to you guys!" Hal shouted.

He flew back toward Earth rapidly, preparing to wake the others. Steppenwolf could only follow him back, because he knew he couldn't let Hal wake the other members of the Justice League.

The two had another round of punching and kicking in the air; there was really no technique to speak of, just you pulling me, I pulling you, neither wanting to let the other go back.

By this stage of the fight, both sides were exhausted. Although Hal had energy protection, fighting hand-to-hand with such a big guy, he was also beaten quite badly. Although Steppenwolf had superior physical skills, he had been fighting for several days, and by now he was also running out of steam.

But it was precisely this last breath that neither was willing to let go, both feeling that as long as they persisted for a bit, they would definitely be able to defeat the other, so they were extra ruthless, no longer holding anything back, and the battle entered the final sprint stage.

In the end, it was Hal who rushed to the beach a step earlier. He let out a roar, Green Lantern energy rippled instantly, the remaining Yellow Lantern power was cleared, and everyone woke up one after another.

They woke up, but clearly this experience had caused them no small mental damage. Everyone was pale, walking unsteadily. However, seeing Steppenwolf's ferocious face, they were instantly scared awake.

Arthur grabbed the Golden Trident, Diana picked up her sword and shield again, Martian Manhunter took a deep breath, and a laser blast blew the horn for the final decisive battle.

All the heroes swarmed up, attacking Steppenwolf. Steppenwolf didn't show weakness either; after blocking the laser with his arms, he punched Wonder Woman away, kicked away the Martian Manhunter who had closed in, dodged the incoming Green Lantern energy, and quickly raised his height, avoiding the suddenly rising sea level.

Martian Manhunter repeated his old trick, slamming into Steppenwolf again. But this time Steppenwolf was prepared, pretending not to notice, but the moment Martian Manhunter left his intangible state, he clawed at his chest.

"Urgh!!!!"

A blood-red hole appeared on Martian Manhunter's chest. Martian Manhunter gritted his teeth and entered the intangible state again, retreated, and took several breaths. Diana slashed toward Steppenwolf's arm; Steppenwolf couldn't withdraw in time, but the God-Killer sword only left a shallow cut on his arm.

However, Hal seized the opportunity; a blade made of Green Lantern energy slashed past rapidly, cooperating with Arthur to block his retreat. Steppenwolf's left arm was severed instantly, blood splashing all over the beach. ===== CHAPTER 4393 =====
