"Black Death Emperor, I will kill You! Clear the last obstacle for him!"
Kara Zor-El raised her head, and the Black Death Sword in her hand erupted with a pillar of colorful energy. The colorful pillar tore through the earth, leaving smooth, semicircular marks, shooting straight towards the Black Death Emperor.
"What a crude and simple usage. You don't understand the power of the Emotional Spectrum at all."
The Black Death Emperor scoffed, his scythe glowing with the darkest light, also erupting with cold death energy.
The two collided!
A powerful Impact and energy aftershocks were released from the collision of their rays, completely engulfing the battlefield. The surrounding Black Lantern Corpses also turned into dust and disappeared in this Impact.
But after only a moment of stalemate, the Black Death Emperor's death ray, relying on its immense power, gradually overwhelmed Kara Zor-El's colorful pillar.
Seeing the critical situation, the others came to Kara Zor-El's side without hesitation to help.
The rings in their hands erupted with lights of various colors, and these lights intertwined, attempting to enhance Kara Zor-El's power.
Kara Zor-El gritted her teeth and persevered. Phantoms appeared behind Kara Zor-El, glaring ferociously at the Black Death Emperor, their hands clasped on the Black Death Sword.
These were the souls of the Black Lantern Corpses that Kara Zor-El had eliminated, absorbed by the Black Death Sword, and now brought out as fuel.
"Why am I dying? I'm still young, I don't want to die!" Fear.
"I hate! I hate so much! My family was killed in front of me!" Anger.
"Humanity will triumph. If needed, I will contribute my strength." Will.
"James, I can be with You again. I love You."
"Me too, Bill." Love.
"I hope this crisis ends soon. I hope for World peace." Hope.
"These Black Lantern Corpses were once living beings." Compassion.
"My ring, these rings, this sword are all mine. You are not allowed to touch them!" Greed.
A faint White light appeared in the very center of the light pillar, which was a fusion of countless colors. But the moment the White light appeared, the colorful pillar erupted again, pushing forward and rushing towards the Black Death Emperor.
"Interesting!"
The Black Death Emperor threw away the scythe in his hand, spread his arms, and gave up resistance. In the colorful pillar, the Black Death Emperor's body was directly vaporized.
The colorful pillar disappeared, and everyone collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
"Did we win?"
Flash was a bit confused.
"Probably?"
"But why can these Black Lantern Corpses still move?"
The Black Lantern Corpses in the sky continued to appear endlessly, as if there was no end.
A mummy picked up the dropped scythe, and a black light glowed on its surface.
"Black Death Emperor."
"Revive!"
"I am the embodiment of Death. Tell me, how will You kill Death!"
The Black Death Emperor floated into the air, raising his scythe high. A black orb of light continuously expanded above the scythe, and in a blink of an eye, it grew to hundreds of meters in size, like a giant black Sun, enough to wipe out the exhausted Superheroes below.
"Your existence is merely a fleeting phantom, and I will grant You Eternal tranquility—return to Death!"
Everyone looked at the sky in despair.
The two Flashes wanted to move people and were planning to restart.
Only Kara Zor-El looked at Qinuo in the distance with a lost and self-reproaching expression, apologizing, "I couldn't help again."
The Death directly caused by the Black Death Emperor is special because his Black Lantern power directly manipulates the essence of Death, binding the souls of those killed as puppets.
The White Lantern represents the ultimate power of the Life Equation, capable of truly resurrecting the dead and purifying the effects of the Black Lantern.
Qinuo dared to wear the black lantern ring because only Karl-El had died. However, Kara Zor-El had already died once; dying again would be Kara Zor-El.
However, Qinuo, currently in an emotionless state, had only one goal in his heart: to obtain the Anti-Life Equation. Everything else had to give way to this.
In his opinion, even if Kara Zor-El died, he could travel through time to resurrect her.
The outer shell of the black lantern furnace was about to melt. Although the Anti-Monitor inside should have been his primary concern, Qinuo's peripheral vision involuntarily turned towards Kara Zor-El, who was looking at him.
Several black spots also covered his face, and a deathly aura began to emanate from his body.
It's fine, it's just one Death.
It's fine, I can resurrect her.
It's fine, I will compensate her after resurrection.
It's fine...
"No, no. Even if You can resurrect her, You will regret it if You lose Your emotions, and haven't You forgotten, You are never alone."
Venom's voice echoed softly in his heart.
In an instant, those stripped emotions, like a bursting dam, surged back into Qinuo's heart.
"It's fine, my foot!"
Qinuo's angry curses filled the entire battlefield.
Qinuo grabbed the black lantern furnace in front of him, lifted it like a small mountain, and hurled it fiercely towards the Black Death Emperor.
The black lantern furnace flew through the air like a whistling cannonball, and along its path, the Black Lantern Corpses were all shattered into pieces upon Impact.
Facing the black energy orb about to explode in the sky, Qinuo calmly raised his finger.
"Snap!"
With that crisp snap, the black energy orb was instantly wiped away as if by an invisible hand, disappearing without a trace.
The deathly aura on the Superheroes also vanished.
But it also meant that Qinuo's disguise had disappeared. His stopped heart began to beat powerfully again, and the glacial indifference in his eyes instantly melted, transforming back into a warm river.
The memories of Superman, Wonder Woman, Dr. Fate, and others all revived.
"Qinuo?"
"It's You."
"You saved me again."
"My Lord."
The others looked at Superman and the Justice League, puzzled.
Was this guy an enemy or one of their own?
"It really is You. To escape from God's hand, I truly admire You."
The Black Death Emperor steadily caught his black lantern furnace that had been smashed back, his gaze fixed on Qinuo, whose disguise had vanished. There was a hint of admiration in his words, but more of arrogance and provocation.
"You know it's me and You're not running. What are You waiting for? To die?"
"Die? How can Death die again?"
Although the Black Death Emperor knew in his heart that he was no match for Qinuo in a one-on-one fight, he relied on being the embodiment of Death, possessing an innate arrogance and fearlessness, and was not afraid of Qinuo's threat.
Crack! Crack!
The black lantern furnace suddenly exploded without warning, emitting a deafening roar.
Amidst the scattering sparks and flying debris, Venom flew out of the explosion's light, carrying the Anti-Monitor, who had already become a Black Lantern Corpse.
"I'm sorry, Qinuo, I've become a burden to You again!"
Kara Zor-El couldn't help but shed tears, saved again and again, endlessly.
"It's fine, it's fine, don't cry, don't cry."
The Anti-Monitor, whom he had always wanted, was right at his feet, yet Qinuo only cared about comforting the crying Kara Zor-El in front of him.
Before, without emotions, he hadn't felt anything, but now that emotions had returned, the thought of Kara Zor-El dying made his heart ache.
