Chapter 464 The Poisonous Sun Solaris

Chapter 464 The Poisonous Sun Solaris

Despite still being injured, Sinestro mustered his willpower and activated the Green Lantern Ring, joining forces with Spider-Man and the others to create a protective barrier that blocked the rain of fire from the sky.

It wasn't until these meteorites, streaking through the atmosphere, crashed to Earth that Senesto discovered what these crashing objects actually were.

They are some small pieces of black meteorite iron.

To be precise, it was spaceship wreckage.

To be more specific, it's the wreckage of a Kryptonian spaceship.

The moment he recognized the origin of these meteorites, his pupils dilated in shock. The Green Lantern Corps, a group that frequently dealt with Kryptonians, was quite familiar with this type of metal.

This black metal, forged from unique atoms from Krypton, inherits the same properties as the Kryptonians, and under the red sunlight, it is simply a sturdy special alloy.

Once exposed to yellow sunlight, it transforms into a powerful metal whose hardness ranks among the highest in the entire universe.

If Green Lantern Sinestro and his former colleagues were to describe it, it would be almost as indestructible as N-metal, the N-metal of the Senagon Eagleman.

But now so much Kryptonian metal debris is falling from Earth. What kind of force could possibly destroy these Kryptonian spaceships?

Seneca soon had the answer.

He noticed that the meteor shower had stopped, but the entire sky remained crimson, just as it had been during the earlier anomaly.

The New York City below, which had been brightly lit because it had been night for a long time, was now completely dark, as it was dawn.

The crimson sunlight bathed the earth, bringing an unusual daytime to New York City, which was already past midnight.

"What the hell is going on?"

As Seneca soared into the sky, he looked up and finally saw the source of all this strange change at the end of the blood-red sky.

A red sun.

Unlike other stars in the universe, this sun is much smaller than normal, and in addition to its outer corona, it has jagged, solid spikes.

Sinestro was able to immediately discern that this unusual star was different in size from natural celestial bodies in the universe because there was a very conspicuous reference point next to it.

Around this sun is a planet that is much larger than itself. The two are gravitationally attracted to each other and revolve around each other, just like a binary star system.

"Mogo?"

Sinestro could tell at a glance that this emerald-colored planet was the outlier in the Green Lantern Corps, the giant Green Lantern, Planet Mogo.

"What's the deal with that sun?"

After contacting the planet Mogo using the Green Lantern Ring, Sinestro immediately asked, "Is it what I'm thinking of?!"

The Guardians of Oa harbor many secrets. Sinestro had recently overheard the Guardian Ganther muttering to himself several times that some of the Guardians were preparing a superweapon for the Kryptonians, which was presumably the red sun that had appeared alongside the planet Mogo.

"That's right." Even the usually taciturn Mogo gave an affirmative answer.

"This red sun" is a superweapon that the Guardians have been preparing ever since Krypton changed. Although it is not yet fully completed, it can only be activated now in order to protect the spirit of existence.

But how much impact can a single fusion variant that emits only a beam of red sunlight have on the overall war situation?

As Seneca questioned this, he found himself getting closer and closer to the sun.

It's not that he's moving; it's that the sun is hurtling towards Earth!

When he said the sun was "small," he was describing it from an astronomical perspective. In reality, the sun was so large that even though it was still several astronomical units away, it was no longer within Seneca's visual range.

In his vision, it was as if a sea of ​​fire was closing in on him. Even through the protection of the Green Lantern Ring, he could feel the scorching flames rushing towards his face.

Soon, Seneca understood why the sun was the Guardian's super weapon. In the boundless sea of ​​blazing red fire before him, a visible crack collapsed, the flames dissipated, the lava separated, and a huge eye opened.

The indigo eyes stared intently at Seneca across the vastness of space. The moment the gaze swept over him, the vivid scrutiny sent chills down Seneca's spine.

This sun is alive!

"Sinestro!"

From the eye of the sun emerged a short figure draped in a long robe; he was one of the nine guardians of Oa.

Unlike the Guardians Ganther and Seid, who frequently appeared in public and were familiar with the Green Lantern Corps over the past millennium, this Guardian rarely appeared in the sight of outsiders.

If Sinestro hadn't always been fascinated by these mysterious little blue creatures, he probably wouldn't have been able to pronounce the guardian of the universe's extremely long and difficult-to-pronounce name compared to Ganther: "Guardian Apa Ali Apsa!"

The guardian, known simply as Apasa, ignored Sinestro's greeting and impatiently waved him off: "Since you're still alive, hurry back to the ranks and prepare for ambush at the outer reaches of the solar system! Solaris has just warped in and has limited mobility; it needs the cover of you Green Lantern Legion!"

"Solaris" should be the name of this living sun, but what about the battle to blockade the outer reaches of the solar system?

That's it!

Seneca, who had been urged to return to the outer battlefield of the galaxy as soon as possible, now understood.

The Guardians Apala, Solaris, and Mogo did not break through from outside the solar system, but rather bypassed the Kryptonian outer defenses through some method and appeared directly near Earth.

Those little blue men had sent these Green Lanterns to forcefully attack the Kryptonian army on the outskirts of the Kuiper Belt, not because they really thought they could break into the solar system and storm Earth to retrieve the Spirit of Existence.

All of this was just a feint, a decoy attack to ensure that the Kryptonians' main force remained on the periphery, so that the real superweapon could penetrate directly into the rear.

Within the solar system, there were already many Kryptonian reconnaissance ships. Under the combined attack of the planet Mogo and this miniature red sun, these ships were almost no match for each other.

Those reconnaissance ships that were originally able to cruise at sub-light speed to evade the attack immediately became slowed down after being swept by the tangible red sun's flames. What followed was the massive green light beam impact from the planet Mogo, and the ships, along with any pilots they might have, were instantly reduced to dust.

A blur flashed across space, and in that critical moment, Joey pulled the pilot out of the spaceship, dodged the green light beam, and used the teleportation technology in the watchtower to return to a safe area.

Before the unknown pilot could say anything, Joey tossed him into the Red Sun Prison in Watchtower E.

In that short instant, the Red Sun Prison, which originally had only one resident, Lor Zod, was now overcrowded.

One of the threads controlled by Batman and Cyborg is urgently installing a red sunlight generator in order to build more temporary shelters.
