Chapter 466 Kryptonians Under the Red Sun

Joey remembered that when they last met Planet Mogo, they said as they parted ways that they would probably meet again on the battlefield in the future.

Unexpectedly, the two not only met on the battlefield, but Mogo had even arrived a day earlier.

It seems that the existence of spirits on Earth has indeed greatly affected the guardians, prompting them to arrive in such a hurry.

Based on Solaris's previous performance, Joey was quite certain that this sun was not the fully evolved form he knew.

As a result, although the Solaris before them had a total energy reaction far greater than that of the planet Mogo, making it a true heavyweight, it lacked the complex and diverse attack methods and enemy strategies to match its supercomputing core.

The Guardians clearly used this sun as a red sunlight generator and a powerful field control device, and it was the giant green-light planet Mogo that brought it to an end.

Things are different now. If it were just the rays of the red sun combined with gravity, it wouldn't be able to do anything to Joey.

After the accident during the battle against Ultron, Doomsday's characteristics gradually became apparent. Now, the red and yellow sunlight no longer makes a significant difference to photosynthetic organisms like Joy, and they are all classified as "solar energy".

If Batman hadn't arrived in time to pull him away from Solaris, Joey would have wanted to personally experience what this binary system was all about.

Unfortunately, even without Batman, Joey's idea would be difficult to realize, because Planet Mogo had no intention of attacking at all.

"What are you waiting for?"

The roar of the Guardian Apasa came from the vacuum, and as he spoke, the Red Sun Light Gravity Trap of the Poison Sun Solaris locked onto Joey's direction once again.

Sensing the hostility emanating from Solaris, Joey turned around and threw Batman far away.

"you!"

Seeing Joey, the Kryptonian, moving freely in space under the red sun, Apasa, who had long been detached from worldly affairs and should have been cold and indifferent, immediately flew into a rage and ordered the planet Mogo in a domineering manner: "Quick, fully charge and kill that Kryptonian!"

The killing restrictions imposed on the Green Lantern Corps have now been completely lifted by the Guardians from the Book of Oa, allowing every Green Lantern to freely exercise the power of life and death anywhere, including the planet Mogo.

The Guardians lifted this restriction so that these Green Lantern Legion members could do things they wouldn't normally be able to do, and now is the time!

"No," Mogo replied decisively, "no hostilities have been initiated against this target."

These guardians, much older than Ganther, still held onto the old-fashioned ideas, believing that the Green Lantern was like their servants and private soldiers, and that they should obey his every word.

Perhaps the young Lantern Man would fall for his act, but Planet Mogo wouldn't tolerate it.

This guardian named Apasa thinks he's someone chosen by the Blue Lantern of Hope, someone who can kill whenever he wants.

"I knew you green light policies were unreliable!"

Boundless energy surged from the Guardian Apasa, illuminating his robes and eyes: "In the end, I still have to do it myself!"

Under the control of the Guardian Apasa's power, the binary system consisting of the Poison Sun and the planet Mogo began to rotate in reverse, while Solaris on the other end was getting closer and closer to Joey's location.

In that brief moment, from Joey's perspective, Solaris's external energy output surged dramatically, and its characteristics became completely different from before.

At the same time, Joey also sensed a tangible malice from the core of the sun, which was one of the abilities he knew Solaris should possess—telepathy.

This sun is evolving right now!

After orbiting the sun for half a revolution and finding a suitable angle, the energy of the outer corona of Solaris swirled around the sphere, then focused on a single point and shot out. The red energy ray passed over the obstructing planet Mogo and headed straight for Joy.

Given Joey's speed and reflexes, he could easily dodge the plasma radiation mixed with the red sun beam. However, besides Joey, the trajectory of this radiation also included two Earths that were about to intersect behind him, making it impossible for Joey to avoid it.

Without much thought, Joey raised his fist, accelerated at lightning speed, and charged straight at Solaris's focused energy beam.

In space, this red and blue trajectory intersected with the red beam of light. This focused energy projection, which illuminated the entire sky above both Earths, collided with the Kryptonians, and the energies of both sides merged and annihilated each other.

Even in this war of attrition, Joey's momentum remained undiminished. The ancient Kryptonian genes hidden in the other half of his body made him unafraid of the red sun's rays, and he could even turn them to his own advantage.

After a brief tug-of-war, Joey's entire body burst into flames, and the intensity of his bio-force field was unprecedented. It even forcefully cleaved the ray projected by Solaris in two while absorbing energy.

Even after breaking through, Joey didn't stop his sprint. Taking advantage of the fact that Solaris couldn't mount a second effective attack, he quickly advanced through the opponent's corona layer and went straight to the core.

Unlike the outer corona region, which is measured in astronomical units, and other energy layers inside, the core region of Solaris is not as large as one might imagine; it is merely a spherical blue structure with protruding spikes, tens of meters high.

Without a second thought, Joey raised his fist, which he had just fully charged, and launched the most ferocious attack on the core of the artificial star.

With a crisp crack, a large, spiderweb-like crack appeared on Solaris's indigo shell, centered on the point of impact with Joey's fist.

"impossible!"

Looking at the cracks, Joey was even a little incredulous.

His flying punch was intended to pierce through Solaris in one blow, but it only damaged the opponent's outer shell.

Fortunately, Joey had plenty of time to hesitate before his fists came crashing down at lightning speed.

But Joey soon discovered that starting from the fourth punch, the cracks in his fist not only did not continue to spread under such a super impact, but instead began to gradually heal.

Moreover, the outer shell of the Solaris core is changing its structure. After the first impact, the Solaris supercomputer has begun to evolve and develop corresponding countermeasures.

Meanwhile, Joey, who was in close contact with Solaris, began to sense the other's overflowing emotions, from surprise to fear, and then to the joy of discovering his new ability.

Just as Joey had realized before, this artificial sun was essentially a supercomputer, and it was still evolving.

"impossible!"

Apasar, the guardian who controls Solaris, was quite incredulous.

He initially thought that Superman, this Kryptonian, was able to move freely under the red sunlight of Solaris because he had equipped or implanted some yellow sunlight generators in his body.

This isn't unusual; after all, the Kryptonian legion soldiers under Jor-El did the same thing.

For Kryptonians, red and yellow sunlight are like discharging and charging. As long as the intensity of the red sunlight is greater than that of the yellow sunlight, this Kryptonian will eventually be reduced to his original form.

However, this understanding was completely shattered after Superman directly demonstrated how he used his physical body to cleave through the energy projection pulse of Solaris's focused red sun.

That leaves only one worst possible explanation—

This is a super Kryptonian who has never appeared before, and who can still maintain his superpowers even under the red sunlight!

This impossible creature was nothing short of a nightmare for the guardian Apasa.

At this moment, the guardian had only one thought in his mind: he had to kill him!
