Raven showed her stance with practical actions.
"This is my power. Do you think I can be defeated by the power I gave you?" Trigon sneered.
"That's not necessarily true."
Aaron spoke, grabbing Raven's hand and injecting a stream of Order Power to help her restrain the dark power within her body.
The black lines on Raven's face receded like a tide, and her pale complexion regained its luster.
Raven's heart stirred, and she activated the ruby again. This time, she unscrupulously unleashed Trigon's power, activating it all, and she did not lose control.
Raven suddenly understood.
Aaron was right.
His status was above Trigon's.
Raven unleashed Trigon's power, and that terrifying power, capable of disintegrating everything, surged towards Trigon.
Trigon praised, "Good, truly my daughter."
His body was rapidly disintegrated by the power of the same origin, but he did not roar. Instead, he was very pleased. This was indeed his daughter.
However, the more excellent Raven performed, the more furious his gaze became when he looked at Aaron. This bastard seduced his daughter.
Unbearable!
No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't swallow this insult.
Even if he was to be expelled by his daughter today, he had to kill Aaron before that, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
"I want you dead!"
Trigon abandoned his defense, gathered all his strength, and transformed into a dark shadow, flashing before Aaron.
He condensed this world-destroying power into a single point. As soon as it touched Aaron's body, this energy mass would explode and disintegrate him. Then he would extract the other party's soul, and as he said, torment him day and night.
However, under his disbelieving gaze, a familiar power surged from Aaron's body, that dark red power flashing by.
Trigon was so familiar with it—it was his power.
However...
Dark Seal!
Aaron made a strange hand gesture with both hands. The illusory handprint was tiny, but when it touched Trigon, it instantly sucked him and his energy into a black hole.
That was not the Primordial Furnace, but it could isolate energy and souls—even cosmic entities could not resist it.
Of course, Aaron did not forget to acquire Trigon's power.
He slightly enhanced Raven's version of the abilities, and then injected the black dot sealing Trigon into the ruby on Raven's forehead.
"Next, you need to properly digest his power and become the new Outer-Dimensional Demon King."
Aaron said, his voice not loud, yet it made the entire Metropolis hear him clearly.
The demons who had prostrated themselves because of Trigon's appearance now, with just a thought, decisively abandoned Trigon and knelt before Raven.
"Greetings, King."
Raven was stunned by this gift from Aaron, her lips pursed, unable to speak for a long time.
This was too precious, she could only repay his kindness.
Raven casually dismissed the demons, then eagerly wanted to pull Aaron away to celebrate properly but Aaron motioned for her to wait.
Then, he looked at Green Lantern Hal Jordan.
This Hal was completely different from the Hal in his memory.
Another cannon fodder, no doubt.
But the green lantern ring was real.
With a wave of his hand, Aaron forcibly took the green lantern ring from Hal's hand. This action caused the Justice League to be vigilant and hostile.
But Aaron merely toyed with it for a moment, then threw it back to Hal Jordan.
This left the latter puzzled.
Meanwhile, Aaron quietly gained a new ability.
[Willpower Fragment: You have mastered Willpower, capable of twisting reality with your will, creating and destroying everything. If your will is strong enough, it can twist all of time and space and endless rules!]
Aaron carefully experienced the new power, gaining a new understanding of willpower materialization.
Green light represents Willpower and Courage, one of the fundamental components of the seven emotional spectrums.
It represents the essence of DC.
Willpower can also be materialized through imagination, achieving omnipotence like God.
This is a very comprehensive power, similar to fantasy and dreams.
Ethereal and very idealistic.
Theoretically, Willpower has no upper limit. As long as the will is strong enough and the energy is abundant enough, anything can be achieved.
But humans have their limits, even the most resolute individuals have a willpower limit. And once a flaw appears in one's heart, the will will no longer be smooth, and the power will diminish.
This is a power with a considerable upper limit but also very obvious weaknesses.
However, for Aaron, so-called flaws are not flaws, because he truly controls willpower. In this regard, he is even stronger than Ion, the Entity of Will, the green light beast.
Aaron has absolute confidence—no one is enough to make him feel fear.
This also made him perfectly suited for Willpower, as if it was tailor-made for him.
Moreover...
It's also an idealistic power. If I use Confidence Empowerment to suggest to myself that I am invincible, would that further enhance the upper limit of Willpower, thereby surpassing Ion and reaching an unprecedented level?
The more Aaron thought about it, the more he felt this idea had potential.
The principle of Confidence Empowerment is that any confidence one has in oneself or that others have in oneself can strengthen one's abilities.
The best way is to spread legends about Aaron.
As long as Aaron himself is portrayed as an omnipotent deity, and those believers believe these legends and have absolute confidence in him, Aaron can transform this into his own strength.
Of course, doing so would require confronting Hell and Heaven first.
And it's too troublesome.
The flaws are also obvious, water can carry a boat or capsize it.
Once those believers doubt Aaron or no longer trust him, he will lose that part of the blessing.
Trusting someone is the hardest thing.
Sometimes, just a rumor can make people stop trusting or raise doubts.
Unless they are fanatics.
But how many fanatics can appear?
However, Aaron can use the Confidence Empowerment ability to inflate his will, thereby unleashing even greater power.
With the Primordial Furnace as his backing, he fears nothing.
Willpower may truly burst forth with even more brilliant light.
And just then, the green lantern ring, which had originally fallen into Hal Jordan's hand, had just been put back on his finger when it was attracted by a force.
Hal Jordan stared blankly as the green lantern ring, as if awakening, suddenly broke free from his finger and eagerly flew to Aaron's hand.
"What's going on?"
Hal was confused. He hadn't felt wrong—the green lantern ring was genuinely, actively fawning over him.
And the constantly flashing green afterglow wagged back and forth, vividly.
It really looked like a dog.
"Hal?"
Bruce tilted his head and glanced at him, his inquiring gaze self-evident.
Hal shook his head.
Although he was unwilling to accept this reality, the current situation was…
"The green lantern ring chose the other party. It believes that man is its true love." Hal said bitterly.
Hal suddenly looked up, only to see that the sky, which had just returned to normal, was suddenly streaked by one green meteor after another.
Those were one green lantern ring after another.
At the same time, another green light flew from Gotham.
Hal looked at Bruce.
The latter's face was calm. "That is indeed mine. It's normal for the green lantern ring to choose me, isn't it?"
Hal shook his head. "No, what I mean is, you were also cuckolded."
Bruce: "…"
"You're wrong. The green lantern ring wanted to choose me, but I didn't choose it, so I wasn't cuckolded, but you were."
Bruce emphasized the difference between them.
The moment he acquired the green lantern ring, he put it away in the collection room of the Batcave, where it gathered dust.
He wasn't cuckolded!
Barry looked at the sky and murmured, "Are you guys focusing on the wrong thing? It looks like… all the green lantern rings in the universe have come."
"Oh my god, there are five thousand seven hundred and eighty green lantern rings here."
Aquaman said faintly, "No, it should be five thousand seven hundred and eighty victims. Love is a light, a green light."
Bruce corrected, "It's five thousand seven hundred and seventy-nine."
Hal Jordan said weakly, "Wrong, love is purple."
"At least for now, it's green." Aquaman was firm.
Hal Jordan opened his mouth, then slumped his head back down in dejection.
Then he thought of a terrifying fact. "Wait, the Green Lantern Corps isn't gone, is it?"
At the same moment.
Green Lantern Corps headquarters, Oa.
After Hal sent back intel about Trigon's invasion of Earth, The Guardians of the Universe urgently recalled all Green Lanterns.
And then... they kept their doors shut and didn't go out.
They knew how terrifying Trigon was. Sacrifice the Green Lantern Corps for Earth? What about Oa? Did it still need protection?
The Guardians of the Universe were capable of fear.
They did not tell the Green Lantern Corps about this. Just as they were discussing whether to monitor Earth, beams of light suddenly shot up.
And then, they received terrible news.
"What?! All the green lantern rings flew away on their own? There isn't a single Green Lantern left on Oa?!"
"And the direction the green lantern rings flew was... Earth!"
The Guardians of the Universe looked at each other, on the verge of tears.
To preserve the Green Lantern Corps and Oa, they didn't want to get involved in Earth's war, but now, the Green Lantern Corps was completely wiped out without even leaving home.
What kind of situation was this?
However, the green lantern rings, which The Guardians of the Universe and the Green Lantern Corps were so proud of, one by one, tried their best to show off their beautiful forms in front of Aaron.
But Aaron didn't even spare a glance for these attention-seeking rings.
Simps don't die well.
The same goes for rings.
"Let's go."
Aaron led Raven and Sara away.
He didn't care for the green lantern rings. If they were Red Lanterns or Orange Lanterns, he might reluctantly accept them. However, these rings did not offer themselves to him.
Seeing Aaron about to leave with Raven, Hal Jordan quickly stepped forward. "Wait, sir!"
"Something wrong?"
Aaron paused, turning his head to look at the other party with cold eyes, which made the latter stumble, almost tripping over flat ground.
"Ahem, I wanted to ask... do you have any thoughts about joining the Green Lantern Corps?"
"No interest."
Aaron immediately lost interest upon hearing this.
"Wait, maybe you don't understand the Green Lantern Corps. In fact, we are a force tasked with safeguarding universal peace, maintaining order, and upholding justice."
"Every person chosen to join the Corps is granted supreme honor."
"We are messengers of justice, protectors of the world."
"You can be like us too."
Hal Jordan was confident that his words could move the other party.
Aaron was powerful, but also young, and such young people were the easiest to trick.
"Messengers of justice?" Aaron looked at the thousands of green lantern rings in front of him, his tone inexplicable.
"Then why, when Trigon was wreaking havoc, did I not see any other Green Lanterns?"
"Ah, this..."
Hal Jordan's confident expression stiffened. He couldn't very well say that the Green Lantern Corps chickened out.
"Ahem, you know, the universe is so vast, we've divided it into three thousand six hundred sectors, with only one or two people per sector."
"So the Green Lantern Corps is very busy. With so few people, how can they take care of such a vast universe?"
Hal Jordan was speaking against his true feelings.
Others might actually believe him.
But Aaron...
He would absolutely not join this unlucky organization that was destined to lose team fights.
He sneered, "Is that so? Then why can't such a large Green Lantern Corps find a single individual truly recognized by a green lantern ring?"
He pointed to the ocean of green lantern rings gathered before them. "Do you see? These rings come from all over the universe. You should be familiar with some of them. I can feel their dissatisfaction with their original owners."
Hal Jordan was speechless now.
To be honest, it was his first time seeing such a scene.
So many green lantern rings with owners actually abandoned their original masters and swarmed to Earth, revolving around Aaron.
Such a thing had never appeared even in Oa's historical records.
Could Aaron be the most courageous and strong-willed being in this universe?
Otherwise, why would even the green lantern rings turn into simps? What kind of justice did Aaron possess?
Thinking of this, Hal Jordan couldn't help but feel a profound respect for Aaron.
This also made him even more eager to invite him to join the Green Lantern Corps.
After all, if the most courageous warrior in the universe did not choose to join the Green Lantern Corps, then the Green Lantern Corps would be undeserving of its name.
