Chapter 4621 The Sun Shines Brightest (80)
After countless rounds of gossip from people across two multiverses, this multiverse crisis has finally gained some presence. Although Schiller's expression suggests that most people are still engrossed in their family drama and haven't snapped out of it, the most important ones—like Batman and Batman and Batman—have already turned their attention to the Origin Wall.
Schiller had no idea how to get the candied hawthorns off the skewer. He had brought his men to save the Dream Kingdom. But, to keep Lucifer's attention occupied, he said, "The Marvel wizards might have some insights into this, but I think the Justice League can come up with a better solution. After all, the locals know more."
Speaking of the Justice League, Lucifer has to go back to see Genie Number One, because he's the one who brought the Justice League here, which was exactly Schiller's goal. Take a good look at Genie Number One; doesn't he look a little familiar?
“We do have a plan,” said the first Lantern. “The power of the emotional spectrum can have a certain impact on the Origin Wall. Among them, the Black Lantern power controlled by the Black Death Emperor seems to be able to release the things on the Origin Wall, and we intend to use this.”
"Really? You don't mean you want to negotiate a cooperation with the Black Death Emperor?" Lucifer said with no small amount of sarcasm. "Are you going to beg him to put Earth down?"
Schiller was speechless. Compared to Lucifer, Schiller's arrogance was nothing. This guy was ridiculously arrogant. He clearly didn't even have the means to completely dismantle the Earth, yet he looked down on others.
"Using the power of the Black Death Emperor doesn't necessarily require his consent. After all, the Lantern Beasts are not the will of the Emotional Spectrum; they merely exist but cannot be controlled. The best vessel for the Emotional Spectrum is emotional life. Otherwise, the Guardians of the Universe wouldn't be recruiting Lanterns across the universe."
"My idea is that we need to find someone to absorb the power of the Black Lantern and make him a member of the Black Lanterns. After absorbing all the dissipated Black Lantern power, he will have a way to pry open the things on the Origin Wall."
"Since the Black Death Emperor is currently unable to move, he also cannot control the Black Lanterns. The person who absorbed the power is safe. Once we bring Earth down, we can use the power of his spirit to expel the Black Lantern power from his body without causing him any harm."
Schiller felt this plan was relatively safe. What was known was that the power of the Black Lantern could indeed affect the stickiness of the Origin Wall. And since the Black Emperor couldn't move, borrowing some of his power to pry the Earth off was both convenient and safe.
"So who do you want to be the Black Lantern Clan member? It can't be you, can it?"
“Mr. Satan, if you had even a little knowledge of the emotional spectrum, you would understand that not just anyone can use the power of the emotional spectrum; the requirements for each power are different. And the power of the Black Lantern can only be used by a corpse that has already died once.”
"Ha, that's exactly what I meant. Where are you going to find such a corpse? Are you going to kill it on the spot?"
Schiller was genuinely speechless. So Lucifer really treated Heaven like his home, just staying there and not working at all? If he paid even a little more attention to the dynamics of the multiverse, if he glanced at the monitors, he'd know what was happening in the cinematic universe. Cyborg and Green Lantern from Henry Cavill's universe both fit the criteria, even Superman could be included; it would be a piece of cake to create.
"I'm afraid the answer will disappoint you, Mr. Satan. To accomplish this, killing isn't necessary. In fact, we already have someone in mind. But I'd like to know, what brings you here? Are you waiting to harvest the souls of Earth?"
“What would I do with a soul?” Lucifer was even more dissatisfied. “You don’t think I’m the kind of savage demon who needs to devour human souls to gain power, do you? You’ve never even heard of Lucifer Morningstar?”
In that instant, Schiller saw a hint of reminiscence on Anatoly's face. Then he understood; perhaps when Anatoly and Lucifer first met, Lucifer was exactly like this.
But that's not surprising. A person won't change much in just two or three days. Even if those are the most eventful three days of their life, it's still not enough to completely transform them into another person.
"Thank you for telling me your name, Mr. Morning Star."
Lucifer was also taken aback for a moment, then frowned in disgust and said, "Don't call me that."
Schiller had never called Lucifer that, so it was unclear whether he simply disliked the surname or just didn't like the first Genie calling him that.
"Then what should I call you, Mr. Jehovah?"
Lucifer's wings have spread again. Schiller is now speechless at Anatoly again. He knows Anatoly has completely lost faith in God, but what the heck is "Mr. Jehovah"? Jehovah isn't a surname; even if Lucifer is his son, he couldn't possibly have that surname. This is truly a recurring theme of repeatedly hitting the boundaries of monotheism.
Lucifer was visibly enraged, but refrained from acting due to Schiller's presence. The other personality traits were indeed correctly predicted; with Schiller there, Lucifer wouldn't act rashly.
Just as Schiller was about to say something to appease Lucifer, there was a sudden commotion near the Origin Wall. Everyone turned to look, and saw a huge black shadow surge out of the dark passage. Due to its overwhelming force and speed, it didn't have time to stop and crashed headfirst into the Origin Wall.
Schiller slapped his forehead. He'd been so engrossed in watching the spectacle that he'd completely forgotten about Barbatos. The moment the dark power spread, the crowd that had been watching scattered like birds.
After all, Barbatos was a dark dragon. His impact didn't damage the Origin Wall, and he himself was unharmed except for being stuck. But the aftershocks alone were enough to trigger a massive dark matter tsunami.
Magneto reacted swiftly, stepping in front of everyone and using his shield to block most of the impact. Even the remaining shockwaves sent the Justice League sprawling, disrupting their formation.
The two groups, who had initially been watching the spectacle from the sidelines, had now gathered together. However, Schiller was not with them. Lucifer and the first Lantern Knight were standing quite far forward, and Schiller, standing beside them, was naturally also quite far forward, to the point that he was completely separated from the main force behind them.
The moment the impact struck, Lucifer flapped his wings, instinctively pushing Schiller backward, but the first Genie beside him also instinctively pulled Schiller behind him. Unfortunately, the two were standing in opposite directions, and the forces canceled each other out; neither could stop the attack, and Schiller was sent flying.
This time, the tower didn't just sway; it almost took off. The entire tower shook violently, knocking over all its special properties. Schiller cursed Reed inwardly; if it weren't for that damn crystal, how could he have been so unlucky?!
We were talking about Batman before, but look what happened, he's the unluckiest guy in the multiverse!
There are other traits as well. Actually, if they had all stayed in the room, and Superego had been watching them constantly, it wouldn't have gotten this bad. Even if the normal state had a problem, the pathological state could have emerged from the abyss and temporarily taken over the tower, and nothing would have gone wrong. But right now, the tower was in a frenzy, and all the traits, including the pathological state, were inside. With that sudden jolt, everyone was thrown into a daze and couldn't get up.
"Schiller!!!!!!!!!!"
Two angry roars rang out simultaneously. Lucifer and the First Genie rushed over at top speed. Lucifer reached out to help Schiller, only to find that the First Genie was about to do the same. Enraged, he flapped his wing, sending the First Genie flying: "Get out of my way!!!"
The first Lantern Knight's expression darkened, and a beam of white light struck Lucifer's wings. Lucifer was shocked; how dare he!
Lucifer was about to act immediately, but seeing that Schiller was already unconscious, he held back and shouted to the crowd beside him, "Charles, go check the tower!"
Charles was already on his way, but he wasn't the first to arrive. Anatoly was the first. As Schiller's attending physician, he knew that Schiller wouldn't normally fall into a coma, because even if he couldn't go into a normal state, he could still go into a pathological one. Unless both of them collapsed.
Sure enough, as soon as he reached the tower, he saw Schiller lying on the ground. Anatoly took a deep breath.
When Charles entered, he gave him a very unfriendly look. In the backstory Schiller gave them, most of his relationship with Anatoly was omitted, so much so that the whole scene seemed to make it seem as if Schiller was implicated because of Anatoly and Lucifer's dispute.
Strange, who arrived later, didn't even glance at him and went straight over to check on Schiller's condition.
Anatoly didn't have time to pay attention to them, because he discovered a more fundamental problem—the tower seemed to be cracked.
He looked up at the wall above. At the very top of the tower, close to the level of consciousness, a tiny crack had appeared. It wasn't very serious, and it didn't affect the overall structure. But considering the tower wasn't a real building, but represented Schiller's mental realm, it was a significant matter.
Of course, this wasn't the first time the tower had been bombed; it had been bombed before, especially the newly built sections, which hadn't stabilized over the years. But Anatoly had no idea.
When he flew up and saw the crack, he was completely stunned. At that moment, his professional instincts only led him to exaggerate the seriousness of the situation to the point of associating it with the collapse of a tower. What happened after Schiller's last tower collapsed?
Anatoly stared at the crack, his fingertips trembling slightly. At that moment, Charles flew up. He was more optimistic, carefully examining the crack before saying, "It shouldn't be a big problem. I'll try to plug it up first, and he can fix it himself later."
Just as Anatoly was calming down, Lucifer flew over. Although Lucifer didn't have much expertise in this area, he certainly had a terrible temper.
The instant he saw the crack, he spun around in mid-air, slammed Anatoli to the ground with a wing, and flashed in front of him, grabbing his neck with one hand.
Lucifer's eyes had turned completely crimson, and his body was engulfed in hellfire. The main universe's Batman, who rushed in later, quickly shouted, "Clark!"
The Superman from the main universe flew into the air, accelerated to his maximum speed, and then crashed headfirst into Lucifer's side, carrying him as they flew out and slammed into the tower's wall. Charles rushed forward and helped Anatoly up.
Lucifer swiftly broke free from the main universe's Superman's restraints and flapped his wings, charging towards them again. Charles suddenly opened his eyes wide and unleashed a full-force attack, a mental attack that felt almost tangible, striking Lucifer. Caught off guard by Charles's sudden attack, Lucifer screamed and fell to the ground.
Charles was about to press his advantage when Anatoly quickly shouted, "Stop!"
