"Hal Jordan!"
Eric clutched his increasingly dizzy forehead, his eyes instantly bloodshot, a crimson hue rapidly spreading within them.
Enveloped in an aura of Death, Eric looked at the other party with cold eyes, "You've betrayed us again?"
"Perhaps you have a slight prejudice against me, Eric. I've always known what I'm doing. Do you know that?"
Green Lantern smiled faintly at Eric, "I have to tell you some truths about this world. Vampires do exist in this world, and those people you killed in the sorority house yesterday were also vampires. Recently, something big has happened in the vampire world."
"Blood Queen Mary, you might not know her, but her position is somewhat similar to the chairperson of the vampires. She is an elder of the vampires and the leader of the religious group known as the Blood Red Moon. For vampires, her will is law."
Watching the gradual changes in Eric's body, Hal shook his head and continued, "She determined the behavior patterns of the entire vampire race. Some say she's more like Charles Manson than George Washington. For hundreds of years, vampires have maintained a certain distance from humans, which was also in accordance with her will, but she was murdered, and the fragile peace between humans and vampires was shattered."
"Mmm-hmm."
Eric's eyes turned crimson like a blood moon, and fine beads of sweat slowly seeped from his forehead. "Hal Jordan, although I've always been quite skeptical of your abilities, I won't easily believe that you would be infected by a vampire and willingly work for them."
He had heard that there was a vampire universe in the DC world, where superheroes, once transformed into vampires, would have their minds controlled and become evil human traitors.
These two guys, did they get infected so quickly?
"Nothing is absolute."
Green Lantern shook his head and took a step closer to Eric, "I wasn't defeated, but chose to evolve."
Saying that, he opened his mouth, revealing sharp fangs inside, and glanced at Kara beside him.
Kara's lips curved into a playful smile, and she chuckled at Eric, "Yes, I must confess to you, Eric, I have also chosen to evolve now."
As she spoke, she opened her mouth towards Eric, letting him see the vampire fangs that had grown in her mouth.
"But…"
The module genes within Eric's body were constantly undergoing a process of destruction and reconstruction. To resist the so-called vampire genes' reshaping of his own genetic template, his body produced a strong rejection response.
His body endured pain like a branding iron searing his soul, and feelings of weakness and powerlessness eroded his body, making him unable to mount any counterattack.
And to resist this physical enhancement and transformation, his internal system had been constantly searching for new template genes to cope with this virus-like invasion and transformation.
"Since you two have been transformed into vampires, Kara, Hal Jordan, you can't possibly be unafraid of the sun."
Although waves of pain assailed him, Eric showed no signs of discomfort, merely continuing to question the other party with cold eyes.
"The light of the sun?"
Hal's lips curled into a slight smile, and he used his Green Lantern ring to conjure a model of the sun, rotating it in his hand.
"This thing is quite interesting. The sun produces different frequencies of light. For example, ultraviolet light provides humans with essential vitamins and nourishment, but for us, it's fatal—oops, I misspoke, I should say for ordinary vampires."
"The basis of all my abilities is light, including visible light, infrared, and ultraviolet light. I can control these lights as I please, even filtering light from my sight."
After a brief pause, Hal continued to Eric, "Of course, I can also create light for my own use. I've filtered out the sunlight on me and Supergirl, so now we are not afraid of sunlight, provided Supergirl doesn't stray too far from me."
"So…"
Eric's gaze shifted to Kara beside him, "You're trying to turn me into one of you in this way."
Eric snorted and said to Kara, "Don't tell me your goal is to rule the world. I've seen this unoriginal plan more than once."
"You are now gradually becoming one of us, so you will know these secrets sooner or later, but before that, I can provide you with some of our plans."
"Our goal is not to wage war with humans, but to block out the sun with a shield, and to build human farms and slaughterhouses. We have contacted allies, and many people share our ideas. Ruling the world sounds strangely similar to what I just said."
Green Lantern told Eric about his side's plan.
Hearing that the other party wanted to block out the sun, Eric inexplicably thought of Ultraman from another anti-world.
Earth-3, a world completely opposite to the main world, where everything was reversed.
Clark Kent's personality was completely reversed from the Clark he knew—brutal, selfish, greedy, rude, and bullying.
Of course, in that world, the Kent couple who adopted him were also two scoundrels.
He would fear sunlight, but conversely, he would not fear kryptonite. He had to rely on green kryptonite to maintain his superpowers.
When invading the main world, the first thing Ultraman did was to move the Moon to block the sunlight.
Eric even suspected that the purpose of these vampires transforming him was to use his Superman strength to push the Moon and block out the sun's rays.
"And you, Eric, you are now joining us, becoming one of us,"
Green Lantern said to Eric, "I must explain to you, Eric, when I first got the ring, I thought I understood what power was, but now I have a new realization."
Eric maintained a cold expression, shook his head, and said, "Sorry, Hal Jordan, I have no interest in your realizations. I just want to confirm one thing: has Batman become one of you?"
"It's us, not you."
Kara refuted Eric's words.
"Then not yet."
Eric nodded upon hearing this, "It seems the most important part of your plan hasn't been carried out yet. If you want to transform this world, then…"
As he spoke, Eric raised his head, his piercing gaze fixed on Kara, "He will generally be the last stubborn guy standing who refuses to fall. You can't bypass him."
At the same time, the system voice within Eric finally prompted him that it had found a template to counter the one currently destroying his internal genetic modules.
Doomsday?
Hearing the system prompt that a new template was online, Eric frowned.
After receiving the relevant knowledge from the Codex that Jor-El had transmitted to him, Eric already knew about Doomsday.
As a weapon created by ancient Kryptonians, it was always kept inside Krypton as a failed product, the strongest killing weapon. It was later released due to Krypton's destruction, its sole purpose being to represent slaughter and destruction.
From the moment Doomsday was created, it repeated Death and rebirth.
After numerous rebirths and Deaths, Death was already etched into his genes, eventually leading him to overcome Death and become an immortal being.
Doomsday's characteristics include unimaginable strength, flying leaps, infinite stamina that never tires, and super-fast healing and regeneration abilities.
Most importantly, his cells can regenerate rapidly after being torn and become even tougher than before, developing great resistance to the force that previously tore them.
For attacks of other energy types like toxins and viruses, he can quickly complete his body's evolution to become immune.
But the drawbacks are equally obvious: genes of tyranny and madness have been etched into his DNA. Doomsday's normal state is to lose reason and emotion.
If he loaded this template, would his reason and sanity also be affected?
Eric listened to the system voice in his mind, which prompted that the template had been bound, and the progress directly surged to 15%.
The Homelander Template within him had gradually stabilized, and after the "Doomsday Template" as a sub-template reached 15%, it began to suppress the virus's modification of his body.
The crimson color in his eyes gradually faded, and the waves of pain that had previously invaded his mind had gradually subsided.
There was no longer the faint discomfort he had felt before regarding solar radiation.
Was it the evolutionary power from the Doomsday Template, having reached 15% progress, that was clearing out this virus that caused his body to mutate?!
The gene repair of the main "Homelander" template, coupled with the bonus from the "Doomsday Template," filled him with a sense of power.
A powerful feeling of muscle and strength permeated his body.
His eyesight was further enhanced, his gaze penetrating through the park, across the university town, covering the entire Metropolis, and shooting into the distance.
The bonuses brought by the template were not only reflected in the comprehensive enhancement of strength, speed, and endurance, but more so in the advantage of evolution.
Having cleared the vampire's forced infection of his body, Eric could even faintly sense that if he were to have blood or even fluid contact and exchange with Kara again, he would not be easily infected, and his body would not even produce any fluctuations.
At the same time, a bloodthirsty, insane destructive consciousness emerged from within him, an uncontrollable urge to destroy everything in front of him, making his eyes turn blood red again.
The thought of easily destroying the two people in front of him, just by moving, spread from within his body.
A negative mental bonus?
Eric took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and quietly felt the surging conflict of power and spirit within him.
But…
This destructive mental conflict, which could almost completely annihilate one's rationality, could not possibly completely destroy his sanity.
Possessing a super brain, and with a mental world filled with obscure darkness and unsettling, unseeable anomalies, he was still capable of controlling this level of madness.
Staring at Eric, and sensing the boundless killing intent emanating from his body, Green Lantern looked at Kara with some surprise and uncertainty.
Kara returned a puzzled look; neither of them understood why Eric, after being infected, would exhibit such a strange state.
Whoosh!
Before the two could react, a gust of wind swept past.
Eric instantly moved in front of Green Lantern.
His fist pierced the air, striking directly at the other party.
The compressed air seemed to explode in the smallest space, letting out a "boom" sound.
The moment the air seemed to be cut open, Eric's figure moved in front of Green Lantern, and his fist slammed out.
Before Green Lantern could use his ring to raise a shield, he was blasted by Eric in his chest.
Bang!
Green Lantern's body immediately turned into a flying baseball, directly impacting the ground.
The hard marble floor instantly shattered under the impact of his body.
Broken pieces of the floor bounced into the air, and dust immediately billowed up.
Green Lantern, who had taken a direct punch from Eric, felt as if his body had been struck by a star, an immense pain.
His bones and muscles emitted an intense, excruciating pain that felt like they could collapse at any moment.
Sizzle!
The next second, before Green Lantern could recover from Eric's powerful attack, a blinding flash of lightning, bright enough to illuminate the sky, surged towards Green Lantern.
Supergirl, who had been in a daze beside them, finally reacted, her eyes showing a shocked expression as she shouted and charged towards Eric.
Thud!
Supergirl's body crashed heavily into Eric, attempting to knock him down.
Heat Vision grazed Green Lantern's body.
Although she didn't directly knock Eric down, she successfully affected his Heat Vision attack.
Supergirl flew through the air, facing Eric, and fiercely swung her fist.
Eric's body also turned, and their gazes met in mid-air.
Eric, radiating a chilling killing intent, threw his fist.
The fists of two superhumans collided in the air.
With a bang, the air exploded.
A deafening, powerful explosion echoed in the space where their fists met, sending out shockwaves.
Kara immediately flew backward uncontrollably, and to her disbelief, she fell heavily to the ground.
The ground instantly formed a large crater.
Shattered rocks and dirt were flung into the air as if by a massive bomb.
Kara lay on her back in the deep pit.
The sudden exertion of force, even with only a fifteen percent Doomsday Template enhancement, still made Eric's strength exceed Kara's expectations.
"Ugh!"
Lying in the deep pit, Kara opened her eyes, which were throbbing with pain.
What met her gaze was Eric, radiating a brutal aura.
Eric stood on the ground with an expressionless face, raised his fist, aimed it at Kara, and bent down sharply to strike downwards.
Bang!
The air exploded.
Eric's fist slammed heavily into the other party's chest.
Kara immediately spat out a mouthful of blood from the pain.
"Ugh ah!!!"
Roaring, Green Lantern created a beam of green laser and charged it towards Eric.
It was blocked by his single hand.
"Stop, you are one of us now!"
Green Lantern roared at Eric.
"No! I am not!"
A crimson light flashed in Eric's eyes.
"Hal, you'll never know what you've made me. I… I should thank you!"
