Chapter 458 Dr. Destruction Calls You to Sleep
As Joey traversed space and entered another increasingly closer atmosphere, he casually measured the distance between the two Earths with his eyes and found that they were indeed getting closer.
Every second, both worlds are moving closer to their doomsday.
"Extremely restless" is not even a sufficient description of Joey's current state.
Within a single day, people associated with green, yellow, and red lights have entered Joey's field of vision in different ways.
In addition, he had seen the Holy Walker through the Blue Lantern Ring, and the Green Lantern Ring also revealed his own existence.
If calculated according to the timeline of the Flashpoint Universe, within approximately three to four days, red, yellow, and... of the visible seven colors of the emotional spectrum...
Cyan, blue, and green have all been introduced, or rather, the prerequisites for their emergence have been met.
If there's one absolutely correct insight that Oa, the little blue man who bears the blame for most of the crises in the DC Universe, has, it's that using the energy of the emotional spectrum is not inherently safe.
Just as a living being's emotions can sometimes get out of control, so too can the energy of the emotional spectrum.
In some mythological descriptions of the end of the world, at the final moment of the world's destruction, the Four Horsemen will appear and gather to sound the final doomsday horn, followed by a series of super disasters powerful enough to tear the world apart.
The simultaneous emergence of all seven colors of the emotional spectrum, as if they had been meticulously prepared, made it hard for Joey not to think...
The talk about the Darkest Night that the giant Green Lantern planet Mogo once mentioned is probably not too far off.
As Joey floated among the clouds, deep in thought about the emotional spectrum, Batman appeared and interrupted his reverie: "A new development?"
Without a second thought, Joey casually replied, "Yes, Sinestro is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Joey remembered that this Batman was a "second-runner" and added, "Green Lantern Sinestro."
In a universe where history doesn't deviate too drastically, Seneca would always exist as the leader of the Yellow Lantern Legion.
"I know."
Batman nodded. The Spider-Lanterns had passed the message through him first, so he naturally knew what was going on.
The purpose of intercepting Superman in the sky was simply to create a private conversation between the two of them: "What are you planning to do next?"
"What should we do? We can only try to find the mother box first."
Joey covered his face. He felt that after going around in circles and facing the Flashpoint universe again, he had made no progress whatsoever, except for becoming slightly stronger.
Moreover, the current crisis of the two balls intersecting has made things even more complicated.
The safest and best way is to find the Mother Box first, find a way to unleash its power, and separate the Flashpoint universe from Tony's universe first.
With less than eight hours left, they had to find the Mother Box as quickly as possible. Even Joey was prepared to personally search every corner of the earth, even the trash cans.
"Have you considered what we'd do if the master box didn't work?"
Batman's question immediately silenced Joey.
If the Mother Box becomes unusable and the Infinity Stones cannot be collected, then the situation faced by both sides will be the same as that experienced by countless other universes—
It's either you die or I die.
"And we probably don't even have eight hours, you should understand what I mean."
In a team, some people are naturally responsible for being optimistic, while others always have to prepare for the worst.
Joey knew that Batman's words were not an exaggeration; this kind of thing had already been foreshadowed when Tony's universe collided with the universe of another cyborg Iron Man.
Before learning that possessing the six Infinity Stones could resolve the crisis, the cyborg Iron Man was genuinely prepared for a desperate fight.
The rationality displayed by both Tony and Flashpoint is based solely on Superman's own "Green Lantern" persona, and it is believed that Joey will be able to control the situation at the last moment.
But what if you can't control it?
The war between the Green Lantern Corps and the Kryptonians in the solar system has officially begun. No one knows how the war will unfold or whether it will spread to Earth, which is already in grave danger.
Seneca's unexpected arrival was both a harbinger and a warning.
The news that a collision between two Earths would lead to the destruction of both universes is likely impossible to keep from the Guardians of the Universe and the Kryptonians.
Once they find out about this, are they really going to just wait patiently for Joey to find the Mother Box first?
For those living in the Flashpoint universe, isn't it obvious that there's another, simpler, and faster way out?
If this happens, the peace that the two universes are currently maintaining will be shattered instantly.
Moreover, Joey is now afraid that Tony's side will overthink things, and even he himself can't help but have wild thoughts. The Flashpoint universe can be considered Joey's own home universe. If Tony's universe and Superman's own universe really have to be chosen, who can guarantee that Superman will not be biased on such an issue?
Coincidentally, on the other side of Earth, Reed, who was busy with his research, also asked the same question without any hesitation.
"Then we'd better pray that Superman's 'mother boxer' or something can actually handle this crisis!"
Tony, who had spent half a day calculating the time equation until he was dizzy, leaned back comfortably upon hearing this hypothesis: "Otherwise, at our current speed, we're definitely doomed!"
"Not a buddy."
Hearing this, Cyborg, who was stronger than four people combined and had eight arms outstretched from the side, was quite embarrassed: "Have you guys forgotten which side I'm on? Shouldn't you be discussing this kind of topic behind my back?"
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Reed, who is very intelligent but extremely dull in some ways, has basically reached the limit when it comes to emotional intelligence: "You're everywhere in the lab, making me forget that you're even a human being!"
Cyborg, who was subconsciously mistaken for an AI, quickly got into character: "Okay, Cyborg the smart butler is at your service~"
As for Reed, Steelbone also has a sense of crisis, but not as deep as Reed's.
After all, the Amazon-Atlantis war, which Cyborg had been struggling to resolve for years and had almost shortened his lifespan, was quelled by Superman in just two days.
Not to mention the later super evil versions of Superman, Kryptonian, Kryptonian, and Kryptonian, weren't they all defeated by Superman?
In his view, with Superman around, no matter what the situation, it can always be resolved—right?
Just believe, that's all! You don't need a reason to believe in Superman!
In the corner of the laboratory, Tony, who had just been leaning back in his chair, had only closed his eyes to rest for a short while, but somehow, he smoothly drifted off to sleep in this tense state.
The crystal ball in the next room was emitting a faint glow—"Tony—"
Having lost most of his means of interfering with the outside world after being sealed away by the Sorcerer Supreme Mordo, Doctor Doom began to rely on the mysterious connection that had somehow formed between the two, calling out to his sleeping past self: "Your world is in imminent danger—"
