Chapter 2882: Jade Prince (Part )
By the time Pride came to his senses, Greed had basically solved the problem, but he still saw the message sent by Hal.
Arrogant shook his head and said, "The spokesperson of willpower in the universe is also known as a stubborn person. He is a rare person who can be more stubborn than Batman."
"How's Hal doing?"
"He is not a qualified king." Pride said, "He is not suitable to stand on the stage and command the people. This is very similar to Batman, but unlike Batman, he has the potential to seize power."
Greedy thought for a moment and said, "That doesn't sound like Hal Jordan. You also said he's a stubborn person. It's hard for such people to understand what tact and flexibility are. And he's a kind and stubborn person, so it's even harder for him to endure humiliation."
Arrogantly tapped the table with his fingertips and said, "It depends on whether he has explored true kindness instead of being deceived by hypocritical appearances. I think he did it. Although Oliver didn't hold on to the end, he set an example for many people."
"I just find this very interesting." Greedy took a sip of coffee and said, "Green Arrow Oliver is passionate by nature, with romantic feelings and full of pessimism. Such a person would not be a qualified revolutionary. It is surprising enough that he can get to where he is today."
"And what he wouldn't have thought of is," Pride continued, "that the work he accomplished was not just in Mexico. The people who were truly inspired by him were both very close to him and very far away, including Bruce, Clark, Hal, Arthur, and even Lex."
"They are very different from Oliver, and even different from each other, but they all spontaneously carry forward the unfinished work of Oliver to various fields and places to complete it, and spread the ideas that he failed to spread to places far away from that land."
Arrogance said with some regret: "Hal is a very upright person. All he lacks is the truth. Once he realizes what is truly right, his strong willpower, or stubborn spirit, will allow him to endure almost anything."
"That's exactly what I said. He has the potential to seize power. A qualified political machine needs to put aside all personal opinions. The more merits you put in, the more rewards you get. The more mistakes you make, the more punishments you get."
"It may sound a bit inhumane, but for the universe, this way of ruling is far better than the one set up by the Guardians of the Universe. It seems fair and democratic, but in fact it is all selfish."
"When an organization needs to rely on slogans like world peace to unite and control its members, it proves that most of the time they are unable to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments, and cannot even achieve basic fairness."
"Because only when institutional fairness cannot solve the complaints of the majority of people, do we need a greater goal to call on people to endure the current injustice, just like religion always talks about life after death."
"This is the system that the Guardians of the Universe built. Their stupidity and short-sightedness prevented them from actually establishing any real leadership system. They just shouted a slogan and asked everyone to repeat it, hoping that the same idiots would behave themselves and be good tools out of their kindness."
"But everyone knows that no organization is equivalent to no organization. The Green Lantern Corps or any Lantern Corps has a shockingly primitive organizational method. Most of the Green Lantern energy is wasted."
"In this case, it's understandable that Hal would want to collect and use them to build a better Green Lantern organization. I think he has the ability to do this better than anyone else."
Greed nodded and said, "Think about it carefully. There are really many hidden dangers on your side. Darkseid is a tyrant who is even more pure than Thanos. I can't even find a troublemaker organization that can correspond to the Guardians of the Universe."
"Your space administrators have sunk too low." Pride pointed out, "Although they are always used as stepping stones, they are indeed much more organized than mine."
When this was mentioned, Arrogant was somewhat helpless. He said, "My universe is like a company with only a manager. The status of the archangels is too high. Apart from the main universe, they don't care about the individual universes at all."
"In a sense, it's relatively relaxed." Greed said, "Eternity has caused me a lot of trouble. If he didn't keep such a close eye on me, I wouldn't have to bother them every few days."
"Not really." Arrogant expressed his denial. He said, "I feel that rather than not wanting to manage, they are more like incapable of managing. There are too many strange things in this universe, typical shitty codes, errors left over from the ancient times, no one except God can correct them. They may not want to waste their energy."
Greedy seemed to have suddenly thought of something happy. He laughed twice and said, "Although the Barbatos invasion is over, do you think the goddess of creation will just sit there and wait for death?"
Arrogance began to feel a little empty again. Greed did not bother him and drank his coffee silently. After a while, Arrogance came back to his senses and asked, "Where do you think her breakthrough point is?"
"The universe you are in doesn't have many weak points, but if she wants to find a spokesperson from another universe, you probably won't be able to do anything about it, so I think we should do the opposite and try to seduce her over here."
"You are better at dealing with this kind of existence." Arrogantly stroked the handle of the coffee cup and said, "Bruce is Barbatos's agent. Although it is not impossible to have multiple duties, I don't think the goddess is that stupid."
"Then find another one." Greedy said slowly, "Lex should be able to gain his trust, but he is not strong enough. If he is detained, it will be troublesome."
"It would be a wonderful scenario to have the Joker take the position of Pope and then fight with Batman, but it seems that you have other plans for Jack, and he should be too busy."
"It would be a bit too fake for a decent superhero to suddenly change his personality and want to destroy the universe, so Superman and the like are ruled out."
"But a ruthless official who deliberately stole the power of the emotional spectrum, perhaps..."
Without Greedy finishing his words, Pride understood what he meant. He thought for a while and said, "Hal is smarter than we thought. He has his own demands. It's too risky to lure a powerful foreign god here. Maybe he won't be happy about it."
"Then you should find a way to make him happy." Greedy stirred the coffee and said, "I know you are always soft-hearted and don't want to deceive your friends, but maybe many times they are also expecting you to make choices for them."
"You are the only one who thinks so." Arrogance said, "In your opinion, everyone expects you to make choices for them, or even make money for them, and then magnanimously and generously hand over the money you earn to you."
"So I just want a name." Greedy smiled and said, "Anyway, I'll be in charge of everything from planning to harvesting. They just give the name, so what's wrong with that?"
Arrogant still seemed a little hesitant. Obviously he didn't want to do this, but the room he had left to hesitate was not very big.
"I'll talk to Hal."
"No, you need to go talk to Oliver."
Pride frowned and showed resistance, so Greed said, "I can go talk to him, as long as you are not afraid of anything happening."
"Let me do it." Pride squeezed out these words almost through gritted teeth, and then said: "He can't pay off your bill even if he sells Mexico."
"He can't sell it now, after all, he has withdrawn." Greedy calculated clearly, and said: "He doesn't have much. I'll give him a friendly price and help me to start a peasant uprising in the three empires."
"No way." Prideful refused bluntly.
Greedy was still looking through the emails as he spoke, and he sighed as he read them, "You have so many things to do here, most of them are for you...ah, this one is for me, it really is Asgard."
When Greedy mentioned Asgard, Pride remembered that there was still a problem on Mount Olympus that had not been solved. When he thought of Wonder Woman and his big family, Pride had an urge to sleep forever.
The problems of these gods are even more difficult to solve than the problems of the universe, because the earth is also their hometown. They just refuse to leave, and there is nothing you can do about it. You cannot even stand on the moral high ground to accuse them.
What’s even more troublesome is that Odin is not a good father, but at least he is a good emperor, while Zeus is not quite like a human being.
But this place is Wonder Woman's hometown, and he can't solve the problem once and for all. Arrogantly thought, if it doesn't work, he could just cram more than a hundred Lokis in here first, and have each of them piss off his brother and father at an average level, to see if he can piss off Zeus and his wife to death.
Greed stood up and said, "Loki asked me to have an online meeting, probably to discuss Ragnarok. Do you want to come?"
Normally, Arrogant would definitely refuse, as the two of them basically did not interfere with each other. However, thinking that Asgard might be able to help solve the problems of Mount Olympus in the future, he nodded.
Greed turned on the camera, but Pride was not in the frame because no one knew yet that Schiller had been physically cracked. This was a big surprise they had prepared and could not be spoiled in advance.
Loki on the screen looked a little haggard, and the crocodile Loki in his arms even had a dull look in his eyes.
"No, no, Schiller, this is a dead end. You don't know how many arguments we've had these days..."
In another room, a masked teenager was looking through the copy options. He seemed to be determined to pick a suitable copy, but he had ruled out most of the options.
When the manipulator walked in, he immediately realized what he was doing. As he closed the door, he said, "You want to find a violent enough copy? How about the zombie universe?"
Moonlight shook his head, obviously not interested in zombies. He thought for a moment and said, "You don't like the unconscious? Let me think... How about this?"
Moonlight saw the cover of the copy that appeared on the screen in front of him. There were no fancy patterns on it, only a bloody mouth and four exceptionally sharp fangs.
"When night falls, the food that the hasty people pursue is no longer love, but... blood."
Received the mooncakes from Qidian!
