Let me show you a new way Chapter 025

It was an empty plaza, predominantly white, giving off a sense of oppression.

In the center of the plaza, a massive light orb slowly floated, its light appearing somewhat dim, and its rotation speed was sluggish.

But the next moment, a pillar of light emerged from the void, and a humanoid figure appeared diagonally below the Main God. He brought an invisible power of karma, injecting it into the Main God. The replenished Main God instantly shone with a dazzling light, illuminating the entire plaza as if it were daytime, and even the light orb’s rotation speed accelerated.

“I’m blind! Ahhh!” Lin Dong covered his eyes, tears streaming down his face. He never expected to be hit by a flashbang from the Main God the moment he arrived in the Main God Space. Unprepared, he only felt a burning pain in his eyes.

“I need to add a function to filter out excess light in my automatic defense magic.”

Lin Dong mumbled, rubbing his eyes, then pulled out a pair of sunglasses from his ring space. Only after putting them on did he dare to look directly at the Main God.

He looked up at the giant light orb. The Main God’s light slowly dimmed, gradually stabilizing at a level that wouldn’t blind people, and its rotation speed also became steady.

Lin Dong looked at the Main God Plaza, and a wave of emotion surged within him.

When he first activated the Main God, the Main God Space was completely dilapidated, the ground covered in dust, and the Main God’s light orb barely rotated, looking like it could fall at any moment. Its brightness was also minuscule.

Lin Dong spent a lot of time cleaning the plaza… The Main God had a self-cleaning function, but it consumed a tiny bit of karma points. At that time, Lin Dong was so frugal he wished he could split a penny in half, so how could he waste it on something like that?

He used the karma points he had accumulated during his more than twenty years of daily life for necessary exchanges, then began his first random world traversal. He was fortunate enough to choose a low-intensity fighting movie, Drunken Master II. After significantly altering the plot within it, he returned to the Main God Space.

From then on, he began to constantly traverse worlds, gradually refining his techniques: how to change the plot more efficiently, how not to trigger world alerts, how to determine the type of world consciousness, and so on.

The Main God was a very rigid intelligent system, so no intelligent sprite appeared to answer Lin Dong’s questions, offer advice, or even warm his bed. He could only test things little by little, formulating a general guideline based on his experiences in various worlds and the fragmented data in the Main God’s database.

“Main God, check karma point harvest,” Lin Dong said. A screen then appeared in the air, displaying a series of numbers before him.

Lin Dong took a deep breath, staring intently at the displayed numbers, trying to calm his excited heart and control himself from doing something impolite, like shouting, “I’m rich enough to drink porridge, drink one bowl and pour out another!”

[Karma Points Reserve: 307488]

Three hundred thousand karma points, three hundred thousand! Lin Dong felt like he was about to cheer loudly.

“Main God, activate the automatic cleaning function, activate the personal room function,” Lin Dong said to the Main God. After a buzzing sound, a brand new door appeared on the edge wall of the plaza.

[Automatic cleaning function activated. Consumes 0.1 karma points every 24 hours.]

[Personal space activated. One-time consumption of 10 karma points.]

Lin Dong eagerly gripped the doorknob, imagining a magical sanctuary brimming with aether behind the door.

[Personal space environment change template missing. Changing environment requires 7000 karma points.]

????

Lin Dong reluctantly lowered his hand, giving up on his unrealistic fantasy.

The Main God Space was a place of miracles, a place with infinite possibilities.

But the current Main God Space seemed to have undergone an unknown great war. Its functions were severely damaged, its energy depleted, and almost all of its modules were lost.

Only the most core function of absorbing and utilizing karma power remained.

For example, the world traversal function: the original Main God had a dedicated world traversal module that could directly send Reincarnators into other worlds, a process that didn’t require extra cost. But the Main God had lost this function, so traversal now required 500 karma points, using karma power to traverse worlds.

In addition, according to the information Lin Dong found in the database, the Main God had also lost the [Worldline Observer], which could view the progression of worldlines, essentially allowing one to read the script.

[Plane Search Module]: Could search for new worlds in the multiverse at all times, then dispatch Reincarnators to invade them, and send future information to the Reincarnators, allowing them to better conquer the world.

[Exchange Information List Missing]: This was arguably fatal. When Lin Dong first entered the Main God Space, the exchange list was almost empty. It was only after Lin Dong had reincarnated in various worlds many times that the Main God Space gradually enriched the exchange list.

But despite the Main God being shattered to such an extent, Lin Dong could still feel the past might and greatness of the Main God’s faction, that power spanning across the multiverse and countless timelines.

“Main God! Consume 1000 karma points, quickly search for the next world,” Lin Dong said. He was now spending heavily to find the world he had planned for.

[Unknown World 1 found.]

The Main God’s mechanical voice came. Due to the lack of a worldline observer, the Main God could not know what kind of world it was.

“Main God, consume 1000 karma points, inquire about key world information,” Lin Dong ordered again. This was the least karma point-consuming way to check that Lin Dong had figured out.

[Random World Information: cupboard, wand, Privet Drive.]

Lin Dong frowned, then thought of something. He added a parenthesis next to the name of Unknown World 1, with the words (Harry Potter) inside.

“Continue searching for the next world…” Lin Dong ordered again.

After repeated consumption of karma points, Lin Dong finally found a world that matched his idea.

[Random World Keywords: Guardians of the Universe, Parallax, ring] ①

“Found it!” Lin Dong cheered, clenching his fist. Then, using his mind, he communicated with the Main God, spending a large amount of karma points to exchange for something, which he held tightly in his right fist.

Then, from his ring space, he pulled out a small box.

The box was covered with runes carved by the previous Sorcerer Supreme, sealing the contents within, preventing its power from leaking out. ②

Lin Dong took a deep breath and opened the box again.

The colorful light was so dazzling, the mixed hues of different emotions illuminated the entire Main God Space.

Lin Dong closed his eyes, using his mind to communicate with this gem filled with endless emotions. He tried to block out other emotions, only sensing the most positive one, the emotion of will, of courage. Lin Dong patiently sensed it, not caring about the drain on his spirit, just slowly touching it, slowly creating a resonance.

According to Lin Dong’s speculation, this stone should also be one of the manifestations of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s fundamental power. It was only because the power of emotion was not emphasized in Marvel (for fear of infringement) that Lin Dong was able to take it away.

The power of this stone should be to connect with the emotions of living beings and materialize these emotional energies. The mental shock halo was merely a tiny bit of power leaking from this stone. So Lin Dong named this item the Emotion Gem, similar to the Infinity Stones.

Theoretically, this item would always be connected to the emotions of living beings. No matter how strong-willed a person was, it would be impossible to control it; they would only gradually lose all their emotions through repeated mental shocks, becoming like the little blue men in the DC world.

But Lin Dong was an exception. On one hand, he could use the Main God for mental protection. On the other hand, this was the Main God Space, and the Emotion Gem could not connect to the vast sea of emotions of all creatures; the only one it could connect to was Lin Dong, who stood before him.

Gradually, Lin Dong felt a slight loosening within the hard Emotion Gem. Lin Dong gathered his spirit, enveloped that loosened trace of substance, and slowly guided it to detach from the Emotion Gem.

As that trace of substance severed its final connection with the Emotion Gem, with a “boom—”, a massive green light orb began to expand, containing almost boundless willpower, even gradually tending to fill the entire Main God Plaza.

Lin Dong took a deep breath, opened his tightly clenched right fist, and put a green ring on his index finger, beginning to recite the oath.

In brightest day, In blackest night.

[In brightest day, in blackest night.]

No evil shall escape my sight.

[No evil shall escape my sight.]

Let those who worship evil’s might.

[Let those who worship evil’s might.]

Beware my power, Green Lantern’s light!

[Beware my power, Green Lantern’s light!] ③

As the oath was recited, the powerful light began to contract according to a certain pattern, finally transforming into points of light. Then, Lin Dong shaped it according to his will, gradually attaching it within the ring on his index finger. The green ring suddenly burned with fierce green flames, as if they would never extinguish.

Lin Dong looked at his right hand. His middle finger wore his magic ring, and his index finger wore the Green Lantern Ring. If he wanted to use teleportation magic, he would also need to wear the Sling Ring on his left hand. Lin Dong felt like he could create a Ten Rings gang.

Lin Dong shook his head, shaking off the unreliable fantasy. Then, he communicated with the ring mentally. The green light, representing will, gradually spread, eventually completely enveloping his body in a green light orb. Afterward, the light gradually dissipated…

Lin Dong did not get a completely green new outfit like in the animation. Instead, he basically kept his original clothing: a red top and dark green trousers. However, on the chest of his top, there was a green circle emitting powerful energy, and in the center of the circle was a burning green lantern symbol.

Behind him, the Cloak of Levitation given to him by Tony Stark fluttered in the wind. The Cloak of Levitation, according to his will, was shaped in black on the outside and green on the inside, with a high collar that obscured his face. ④

①: The next dungeon is the Green Lantern world. The movie Green Lantern is truly one of the worst movies. Honest Trailers even joked that they turned one of the most creative stories in comic book history into one of the least creative. So this plot will be relatively short; the protagonist will leave once he gets what he needs.

②: The item the Ancient One gave the protagonist in the previous chapters. This item is my own original creation. Since I plan to replicate the Lantern Ring in Marvel, it’s good to have a Marvel world item as a foundation.

③: I know copying a lot of oaths like this is a bit of a filler, but this is the first appearance of the Green Lantern Ring. It won’t be like this in the future. Plus, this chapter has quite a lot of words.

④: The protagonist’s appearance is based on the Golden Age Green Lantern, Alan Scott. This hero appeared in both the Golden and Silver Ages, but after the New 52 reboot, only a modified Earth- 2 Alan Scott remained, with altered powers, origin, age, identity, appearance, and even sexual orientation.
