Chapter 535: Fighting for Yourself, the Death of Hal Jordan
at the same time.

Fawcett, United States.

The voice of the President of the United States came from the TV.

“Our world is going through a violent transition period of great change, and I know that the number of lives lost in the battle between Wonder Woman and Aquaman is beyond imagination.”

“Like you, I have high hopes that the superhumans of this world can unite and stop the conflict between Atlantis and the Amazons.”

The president’s expression was extremely heavy. “But that hope was placed on the wrong person. Those people with super powers failed to organize in any meaningful way.”

In an ordinary apartment building, Shazam Billy Batson was curled up on the sofa watching the president’s TV speech.

Several of his brothers and sisters nearby asked him what they should do now.

Without transforming into Shazam, Billy, who is still a teenager at this point, shook his head and said, “What can we do? We can’t do anything, Mary. We’re just a bunch of kids.”

His sister Mary sat next to him. “Technically, yes, but we are a group of super-powered kids.”

Billy shared his supernatural powers with several of his brothers and sisters, and everyone began to analyze whether they should go and help.

Listening to his brothers and sisters’ discussion, Billy sighed, supported his chin with his hand, and said, “Remember what happened the last time we fought Wonder Woman? We almost died.”

Listening to Billy talking about the last time he almost died, everyone fell silent and stopped talking.

The only voice in the room was the president’s voice coming from the TV.

“Fellow countrymen, we cannot stand idly by.”

Gotham Central Hospital.

Bruce, Thomas and Barry stood in the hospital corridor.

Bruce felt a little heavy as he glanced at his mother lying in the ward.

He hadn’t expected his mother to become a clown.

The person closest to you becomes the criminal you hate the most. Fate really plays tricks on you.

“This isn’t your fault, Bruce.”

Thomas seemed to see Bruce’s pain. He put his hand on Bruce’s shoulder and said, “Let’s face it, we are all powerless.”

“Hey, come and take a look.”

Soon Barry’s voice interrupted the two.

Bruce and Thomas rushed to the public lounge area and saw the president’s speech being played on TV.

“We can no longer sit by and wait for others to save us, we must fight for ourselves”

Staring at the TV screen, Thomas fell into deep thought.

Barry, who was watching TV nearby, suddenly covered his head and groaned in pain.

Memories of the past came to his mind, and then began to blur.

Covering his head, Barry fell to the ground in pain.

“What’s wrong with you? Barry!”

Bruce asked in shock.

“They… They won’t stop. More memories begin to change, about my father and mother. The Reverse Flash stole my life.”

Barry gasped, “It’s worse than before. I don’t think there’s much time left before my memories are replaced, and once that happens, I won’t remember what the world was like before. Everything will be gone.”

Thomas immediately took out some medicine from his belt and said to him, “I have prepared some phenytoin, which is a sedative that should slow down the activity in your brain.”

Retrieving the syringe, Thomas used it to push the sedative into Barry’s veins.

“You must fight it. Don’t give up, Barry. Don’t forget my son. Don’t forget Bruce. Don’t forget what happened in the past. You need to redeem everything.”

Padraic Farm.

Raven, Tom, Mark and others also saw the president’s speech on TV.

As Mark listened, he cast his eyes toward the night outside.

“I don’t know how Dad and the others are doing.”

Mark whispered.

“If you’re worried, try making a phone call.”

Raven said to him, “Or you can ride on your broom to Europe to find your father.”

“No, the Ministry of Magic has rules against using magic in front of Muggles.”

Mark said seriously.

“You’re not in the Hogwarts world, so you don’t have to abide by this, Mark.”

Raven shrugged her shoulders, imitating Peter’s example, “Besides, you don’t always follow the rules, otherwise you wouldn’t have followed Harry and the others into the Chamber of Secrets.

Glancing at Tom who was silent beside her, she continued, “If you weren’t lucky, you might have really been bitten by a big snake in the secret room.”

Raven couldn’t help but complain about Tom again.

Mark glanced at Tom awkwardly and turned the subject back to the TV.

“Mr. President is right. The people here have to fight for themselves.”

Mark took a deep breath and said, “If I can, I would like to go to Europe to stop this war.”

Tom, leaning against the closet, with an expressionless face, said to him, “Your personal power won’t make any difference, Mark.”

“Besides, our main task now is to catch Reverse-Flash.”

“I know I’m weak, but my father said that what determines who you become is never determined by the strength of your power.”

“You’re just an ordinary pilot. You don’t have any super powers. Why do you want to go?”

At the airport in Seaside City, Hector Hammond asked Hal Jordan with a frown.

Hector Hammond, in the original world line, was the archenemy of Green Lantern Hal Jordan.

He was originally just an ordinary person, and once he found a meteor fragment in a forest.

This meteor fragment came from the same meteor fragment that caused the evolution of the gorilla Grodd and his race on the African continent.

Hector observed that the plants around the meteor fragment evolved very quickly, so he irradiated himself with the meteor fragment, and the radiation gave Hector powerful intelligence, psychic abilities, and immortality.

But that was in the original world line, and now everything in the world has changed. Hal Jordan did not become a Green Lantern, and Hector did not become a super villain.

Now Hal is an ordinary airplane pilot and Hector becomes a ground crew member working at the airport.

Although the two did not become enemies, Hector still hated Hal.

“Someone has to do it, right? We need to fight for ourselves.”

Hal replied to Hector.

He glanced at the F-35 fighter. “It looks like she’s ready to take off, Hector.”

Hector put down the inspection board in his hand. “She’s ready. You have me to thank. In less than twenty-four hours, I managed to redesign her and reduce her weight by 1,400 pounds so that she can carry this attack missile.”

Hal patted the plane with satisfaction, “You are a genius, Hector.”

Hector’s face was a little heavy.

He turned to Hal and said, “And you’re an idiot! Hal, the world is on the verge of self-destruction, and you plan to fly into enemy territory and drop a bomb.”

Hector found that he still hated Hal’s smiling face.

“And you still have that unchanging and self-righteous smile on your face. Do you know what that means? Why are you still smiling? Do you know that? I hate your smiling face the most. No matter how bad things happen, you still smile. I hate this inappropriate smile of yours!”

“I hate that everything about you is full of sunshine, even in the face of the threat of death.”

After listening to Hector’s words, Hal’s smiling face disappeared.

“You think I don’t know how high the stakes are, Hector?”

Hal’s voice turned serious. “You think I wasn’t worried about myself, or Carol, or the rest of the world before that happened? The truth is, I was terrified, but I couldn’t have gotten into the cockpit if I had kept thinking about that.”

“Just thinking about that makes me hide in the shadows like those so-called superheroes.”

As he spoke, Hal walked up the ladder to the fighter.

Hector watched the other person walk onto the plane.

Originally he hated the other person and wished him bad luck, but now, for some reason, he hoped that the other person would stay.

He looked at Hal with complicated eyes.

At this time, Hal had already put on his flight helmet and gave him a thumbs up.

Hector was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised his thumb in response to Hal.

“Good luck, Hal.”

Hector prayed silently as he watched the plane take off and fly into the night.

Hal, in the cockpit, looked down at the photo near the aircraft’s instrument panel.

That was a photo of himself and Carol.

“Operation: Nightlight, guys, there’s some kind of invisible shield around the island, so be careful.”

Hal spoke to his comrades via the radio.

The planes quickly entered the British Isles, and the fighter plane flying in the front was attacked before it entered the island.

The giantess, who was so tall that she transformed herself into a giant, grabbed a plane and crushed it.

“Boom!”

“Damn it!”

While shooting, Hal dealt with the female giant.

Hal, who was controlling the plane, pressed the bomb button towards the transparent barrier.

But the button doesn’t respond.

“It’s stuck! Shit!”

“boom!”

To make matters worse, the tail of his fighter was shot. After the explosion, the fighter fell downward at a high speed.

A comrade shouted from the side, “Hal, you have to parachute!”

“I have to drop the bomb first.”

“Don’t think about the missiles yet. Can you still eject them now?”

Hal glanced at the photo on the dashboard and said, “Okay.”

“OK, Hal, we’ll meet on the other side, and on the count of three you’ll begin ejecting.”

Teammates counted at him over the radio.

“three!”

Hal’s plane circled and fell.

“two!”

“one!”

“Now, start firing, Hal!”

Hal did not eject, but rushed towards the protective shield.

At the critical moment, he finally pressed the bomb switch.

Hal’s plane crashed straight into the protective shield.

Hal held the photo in his mobile phone and said his final farewell calmly.

“Goodbye, Carol.”

“boom!”

A deafening explosion sounded.

“He succeeded!”

“The stand is destroyed!”
