The Holy Walker did not back down because of Cindy's lie. He avoided everyone's sight, secretly came to Earth by himself, and put in so much effort to find Deathstroke; how could he just walk away as if he had gone to the wrong place?
The Blue Lantern Ring, although auxiliary, does not mean it is inferior to other lantern rings. On the contrary, it has more functions.
For example, amplifying or weakening other color lights, foreseeing certain levels of cosmic events, are functionalities that other lantern rings do not possess.
However, the Blue Lantern Ring is the most demanding ring; as long as the user has a momentary lapse of hope, the ring will abandon its master.
Just not long ago, the Blue Lantern Corps had a few members, but upon seeing the explosion of the Origin Wall, Ganser led the Green Lantern Corps to flee, and all Blue Lantern members except the Holy Walker were suddenly filled with despair.
And their Blue Lantern Rings abandoned them without hesitation.
Losing their lantern rings and uniforms in the cosmos means certain doom, as any Lantern Group warrior knows, with swift low temperatures and decompression making a person burst like a sausage and then turn into an ice stick.
The Holy Walker couldn't save them; with no Green Lantern members around, the Blue Lantern Ring lacked the ability to manifest tools, because 'hope that cannot fulfill will is destined to fall'.
He could only watch his corps members turn into mummies in the universe, then quickly turn away to evade the void sweeping through after the explosion of the Origin Wall.
But he did not despair; he had faced many storms and gales.
For the awakening of Papetua, the Blue Lantern had long foreseen it, just as it had foretold the Blackest Night.
"The blue light shines eternally, hope never fades, maybe the one I've been waiting for from the start is you."
The Holy Walker didn't leave but walked closer, with a curious expression on his white flowered face, sizing up Cindy multiple times.
So, other parallel universe's Deathstroke... indeed, not only has he met the one in this universe, which means it wasn't the Invisible Light choosing the wrong master but he misread the prophecy.
"It's you." The Holy Walker showed a smile akin to an aunt's.
"....What are you doing?"
Cindy changed the shape of the Godslayer behind her back. Which attack was this alien more resistant to? Piercing damage or blunt force?
Thomas frowned and thought for a moment. After arriving here, he naturally investigated the Justice League and knew there was a Green Lantern Hero among them.
Then this one, he must be a friend of Green Lantern Hero Hal, because he mentioned it during his monologue earlier.
And Cindy had told him that Earth -11 has no superheroes, only a feminized Batman barely maintaining things, so she wouldn't know the existence of the Lantern Group.
"Don't be hasty, Cindy; he's a friend, not a foe." Although he verbally stopped Cindy's actions, Thomas had already touched the gun handle.
Cindy didn't look back, still watching the alien cautiously: "Are you sure, old man?"
"Yes, I'm sure. On Earth 0, there is an organization called the Lantern Group, which is a force that maintains cosmic order." Thomas revealed his intelligence.
"Let others maintain order? Sounds like Fascism." Cindy put down her weapon and relaxed back into the chair: "Then you, alien, aren't you planning to say something we can understand?"
"Hm? I've always been speaking English; I heard this language is universal on Earth." The Holy Walker was puzzled, wasn't it clearly understandable?
Cindy sighed; she had never dealt with aliens, especially in situations where every word could be understood, but altogether seemed utterly perplexing.
"Just say what you came to find Deathstroke for; if you have money, provide photos of who you want killed."
"Kill? Why would anyone want to kill? Is it popular to kill one's kind on Earth?" The Holy Walker shook his head, expressing disappointment, and began reciting his Messiah True Scripture.
His homeland is the Astonia Star, close to Sena Gang, where their worshipped 'Messiah' is hope.
Seeing the scene before him, Thomas knew that they'd have much to talk about.
..............
Dimension Three.
Watching others busy at work, Su Ming and Bo Bo idly chatted as if they were supervisors. Su Ming was on guard for potential retaliation from the Xida People, as the moon's orbit was still within their sphere of influence, and their kind of gigantic hornets had been modified to transport people into the cosmos for short-distance flight.
Honestly, if not for the combined efforts of magic and technology, how could such winged creatures possibly fly in a vacuum environment?
Bo Bo, on the other hand, had a justified reason to slack off, since he's a harmless gorilla.
Deathstroke had the Divine Child calculate the stress points, while the Fallen Knight installed nuclear bombs at certain locations on the moon. These tasks weren't fit for a gorilla.
"Although Wanda Savage was killed by Luthor, he left us a valuable legacy by reducing the weight of the Moon and pushing it out of orbit, letting gravity change everything. Indeed, it's an excellent plan for destruction."
Su Ming lethargically commented, needing to choose to replicate Wanda's original Moon plan, except at the time the Wildman wanted Earth and the Totality to pass by each other. Su Ming, however, wished for Earth to disassemble automatically due to gravitational imbalance.
Bo Bo smacked his lips behind the glass face mask, "Are you sure such a physical means could destroy a dimension? I mean, isn't it a bit too simplistic?"
"A dimension can be seen as a part of a larger Multiverse, just at a different level. The Third Dimension hasn't really developed well, they haven't even created a Parallel Universe. Simply put, this is Papetua's insect jar, what do you think is sustaining the existence here?"
"If it's our world, what's maintaining its operation are rules and concepts." Detective Gorilla scratched his chin.
"Rules and concepts are templates for world creation, every world is made like this. Beyond our Multiverse, there are more Multiverses, altogether forming the Super Universe, and more Super Universes and infinite dimensions form the All-Powerful Universe. Every world depends on concepts and rules, like destiny, or death."
Su Ming softly shared some insight with Bo Bo, after all, as a secretary, it's not good for him to operate in ignorance.
Detective Gorilla pondered; that Deathstroke could say such things, does it not suggest he's seen them before?
In this light, what everyone views as a crisis event might not be seen as such by Deathstroke.
Seeing the gorilla's eyes change several times in a short period, his spacesuit mask with a yellow Earth projection couldn't conceal this gaze, Su Ming shook his head.
"Don't look at me like that. This time, Papetua's awakening is a super crisis because I still don't know what this so-called final judgment is, and what that eagle represents, I can't figure out either."
"How about you go out and take a look for us?" Bo Bo showed a smiling face, like a lackey inciting, "You see, I've been worried about the world's issues these days, and my fur's lost its luster."
"Are you possessed by Constantine? Do you need to screw me over like this? Going from the Third Dimension to outside the Multiverse, who knows what I'll encounter, if I meet the Skeleton King, there's no lightning to strike me into a transformation."
Su Ming sighed helplessly, although indeed it could be a solution, it's not the time to contact those monsters in the Super Universe now.
This Multiverse matter isn't resolved yet, why stir up trouble outside?
Regarding what other worlds DC owns, Su Ming knows clearly; there are worlds like 'Call of Duty', 'Uncharted', 'War Machine', which are relatively relaxing and suitable for vacation.
But also worlds like 'Cosmic Giant He-Man', where individual combat power is off the charts, or 'Mysterious Files', worlds filled with high-end mystical power.
'Mysterious Files' might not be well-known, but knowing its story is similar to 'Death Comes' is enough, where flying leads to death, eating and drinking leads to death, and being targeted by the invisible future Death God leads to death.
"Who is the Skeleton King?"
Bo Bo's eyes turned sharp. Deathstroke indeed knew what was beyond the Wall, and he saw it much clearer than Kael Renner.
Kael had once gone beyond the Origin Wall and returned successfully as the first. At the time, he said beyond the wall was the Light Storage Sea, nothing else.
It seems now that this statement was more like a deception under the directive of those Little Blue Men, the Guardians.
"Knowing too much can lead to death..." Su Ming's red monocular turned over, the icy tone brought Bo Bo back to reality.
Only then did he remember, the person beside him, looking like someone running around for the universe, wasn't Batman, but the ruthless killer, Deathstroke.
"I'm just a gorilla, nobody would believe what I say, your secrets are safe with me, I won't ask anymore, I know it's not the right time."
Bo Bo immediately hugged Su Ming's leg, speaking with utmost sincerity.
"Ah, I accidentally told you too many things. If I let you keep following me in the future, would it be too unfair to you?" Su Ming took off the Nightfall Greatsword from behind, lightly touching the blade with his fingers.
Bo Bo understood what Deathstroke meant; nothing was accidentally spoken, this was a trap! Moreover, about how to destroy a dimension, Deathstroke hadn't explained it clearly at all.
Yet, the detective's curiosity led him step by step into it. Indeed, seeking the truth always brings no good. It's the same for the world and oneself.
"Not at all unfair, how could it be? Haha..."
"Haha..."
One man and one gorilla exchanged smiles, reaching a certain consensus.
"Deathstroke, we're ready, the Moon's rotation takes 27.32 days, and the current revolution orbit and speed aren't sufficient to turn it into a missile. Although there are enough nuclear bombs, after altering the trajectory, precise calculations are still needed to crash it into Earth."
Charise's communication interrupted the deep gaze between pet and owner, Bo Bo quickly turned to breathe rapidly, as indeed, his pressure just now was huge, and Deathstroke remained just as terrifying.
Su Ming placed his hand on his head, and the spacesuit creaked. He just said, "This is just the first step. Next, I'll find you an asteroid to land on, and then show you the power of the Lantern Ring and magic."
