Chapter 456 Flashpoint
After dealing with the Kryptonians who had suddenly invaded Earth, Joey grabbed Lor Zod and threw him into Sector E prison in the Watchtower, letting the kid calm down under the red sun.
It has to be said that children have good physical fitness. He had just been knocked to sleep by a punch not long ago, and perhaps because he had been exposed to some sunlight during the teleportation in outer space, Lor Zod woke up immediately after being thrown like that.
The Kryptonian child opened his eyes, assessed his situation, and flipped off the bed. Pointing at Joey's nose, he tried to yell through the cell door, "You're despicable! How could you use the red solar ray just now?!"
What, this idiot is still not convinced that he used the Red Sun Ray Gun?
"So what?!"
Joey had no idea if the other guy's brain had been damaged by those two punches he'd just landed. What did this kid think he was doing? The neighbor's kids fighting each other?
Even if that's the case, there's no rule that says you can't bring props when you challenge someone to a fight.
Joey should be secretly pleased that he didn't use Kryptonite: "It's only because you're weak that I didn't use Kryptonite!"
Back when dealing with a crazy woman like Kara, Joey was willing to use a lethal dose of high-purity kryptonite to punch her.
Upon hearing the words "relatively weak," Lor Zod, who was already agitated, became even more furious.
He didn't even bother to think about why Kal'el, this Kryptonian psychopath, would carry Kryptonite, which is considered highly toxic to Kryptonians, but instead started spouting Kryptonian dialect that Joey couldn't understand:
"&；*——$%^￥%——！"
"Stay put!"
Still unable to understand, Joey had no time to pay attention to the child, and turned to leave after saying a few words.
At the same time, one can't help but wonder why the other party appeared on Earth.
Joey recognized the red-faced Green Lantern who was being chased by Lor Zod at a glance, even though they had never met before.
After all, besides the comic books, there is also the story told by Starfire—Thar Sinestro was Starfire's mentor when he joined the Green Lantern Corps, and he took great care of the last survivor of Starfire's race.
Surprisingly, Sinestro, the familiar "Yellow Lantern," didn't go astray in the Flashpoint universe and continued to act as Green Lantern, which was quite unexpected for Joey.
However, whether it was a green light or a yellow light Sinestro, his arrival brought Joey a whole host of problems.
Putting everything else aside, Lor Zod alone is a complete hot potato.
Just by the name, you can tell that this is definitely Drew Zod, the son of General Zod whom Joey has been thinking about ever since he realized he was a Kryptonian.
He had been anxious about General Zod for a long time, but unexpectedly, instead of encountering him at this time, he captured his son alive.
In the "normal" timeline, this son of Zod was once close to Clark Kent and operated on Earth under the names "Superboy" and even "Nightwing".
But in the Flashpoint universe, which is a bit wilder than a relatively normal universe, Lor Zod, like most of the other named Kryptonians that Joel knew, was still a junior officer under Jor-El.
But history is history, and there is no familiar history or future in the Flashpoint universe.
Joey had already exhausted himself trying to bring Kara, this super violent woman, to his side; he didn't think there was any chance he could reform this super kid.
The question now is, why would Jor-El's men appear on Earth at this point in time to hunt down Sinestro?
The best-case scenario, and the most likely one, is that the other party went off on their own, left the team, and came to Earth to hunt down Green Lantern.
This explains why he was the only one who came after him.
After all, the Kryptonian army outside the solar system numbers in the hundreds of thousands. If the Kryptonians really wanted Sinestro dead, they wouldn't have sent just one person.
The worst-case scenario is that Sinestro is really important, then Lor Zod is just a vanguard, and soon Krypton will definitely send more people.
I was just busy searching for the mother box, and now another thing has come up that could kill everyone.
Moreover, with Seneca mentioned, and Kara having just flashed through Joey's mind, an even more troublesome matter suddenly came to mind.
Abin Sue, who was previously closely associated with Cyborg but died mysteriously in the solar system.
There is no doubt that this was done by the white-haired Kara, and only she had the absolute power to launch a sneak attack and instantly kill a lone Green Lantern.
In the normal universe, Abin Sue has a sister named Arlene Sue, who has the same noble character as Abin Sue, and more importantly, she is Sinestro's wife.
In other words, Kara's previous sneak attack killed not only a great Green Lantern, but also Sinestro's brother-in-law.
What on earth is going on?
The more Joey thought about it, the more his head ached. He now fully understood what it meant to be the one who cuts down the tree and then suffer the scorching sun.
The war between Kryptonians and the Guardians, even the slightest spark that spills out, is a problem of immense difficulty for Joey.
At this point, we can only hope that Sinestro's interpersonal relationship in the normal universe did not continue into the Flashpoint universe, otherwise this will be another unresolved blood feud.
But based on experience, Joey didn't think Flashpoint, this ghostly home universe, would let him, the original "Superman," off so easily.
While muttering to himself, Joey looked up and greeted old Thomas, who was keeping watch. After confirming that the search for the Mother Box was still proceeding in an orderly manner, he teleported to Tony's universe.
He met Seneca, his home universe, for the first time in a formal sense.
"You're the friendly Kryptonian Squirrel Chip was talking about, Kal'El?"
Unlike Superman, who was frowning and unsure of where to begin, Sinestro, whose injuries had mostly healed with Spider-Lantern's help, greeted Joey with pleasantries before asking about his beloved student: "How is Coreyanda?"
Senesto's words reminded him of another troublesome matter: what exactly was the background of that fake Xinghuo who had disappeared after his identity was exposed?
Remembering that Starfire hadn't been exchanged from Joe El yet, Joey could only bite the bullet and answer, "Uh, yeah, right away."
"That's good." Senesto nodded.
He viewed Corey Anda as more than just a Green Lantern trainee; he poured extra affection into her.
This poor girl always reminded him of his non-existent daughter. Back when Abin Sue's sister, Arlene Sue, was still alive, they had already decided to name their daughter Solanik.
But an accident occurred, and Arlene Sue's death plunged Senesto into unbearable loneliness and pain, and also caused him to break off his relationship with Abin Sue.
"Before we have any further discussion, I need to confirm one thing."
But after that initial pleasantry, Sinestro got straight to the point. Addressing this Superman who, while not actually existing, still did, he uttered something truly astonishing, sending a chill down Joey's spine: "Do you know about 'Flashpoint'?"
