Stupid

Perhaps we were the lesser version of a Wizard, the Green Lantern muttered inward, as Peffy arrived to help, and even without the Power Ring and the Spear of Destiny took charge of the battle with Larfleeze with amazing ease.

Intangible, yet holding two magic swords in his hands, Peffy flew from side to side, slashing and stabbing Larfleeze while throwing innocent insults at him.

"Haha! The Orange Lantern is really this weak, huh? No wonder nobody in the universe even cared to join the Orange Corps! Why would they become the laughing stock of the universe, right?" Peffy asked with a mocking voice.

Larfleeze shouted in anger. "Greed is the strongest force in the universe! I just don't share my power with anyone!"

"You don't share, or you're simply a dumb lizard without friends and allies? I think is the second! Also, you're not only dumb, but poor! I took everything you stashed away, and left you with nothing. Nothing!" Peffy countered with a superior voice, then blocked and returned a gigantic Orange sword right at Larfleeze, chopping him in two with his own power, using the Angel Breaker sword's power to reflect attacks back.

Who can kill the Orange Lantern? Himself!

Left without an owner, the Orange Power Battery flew towards Peffy as the worthiest candidate remaining.

And while Peffy was quite strong even without my boosts, he wasn't fast enough.

I grabbed the Orange Lantern Battery and stored it in inventory, being 5 times faster than Peffy, and instantly bound it to us, the Seven Wizard Brothers. We had become similar to the Marvel family of Wizards, even without Shazam's blessings.

*Ding.

You have obtained and bound the Orange Power Battery. You have become the owner of the Orange Lantern Corps. You can distribute Orange Power Rings to anyone you wish, as long as their greed is strong enough to maintain a connection with the Orange Power Ring.

-Larfleeze defeated. +2000 to all attributes beside MAG. +20 Commerce. +10 Weapons. +5 Tech Use.

-Gamer has changed Fate again. Gain +1 Fate point.

-The Orange Power Ring bestows +2000 to all attributes beside MAG, +20 Lore and + 2000 HP, MP and SP/sec. Drawing upon greed, you can obtain up to +8000 to all atributes, beside MAG.

-Level up, Level up, level up! Level 48 Reached!

Peffy summoned his Orange Ring on his middle finger, then showed it to me as an insult. So I did the same, pairing the Orange ring with the Green Power Ring already on the next finger.

"We're a bunch of idiots. Now the Green Corps will take over Vega too." Peffy noted as a dozen Green Lanterns appeared in the Vega star system, certainly unrelated to the death of Larfleeze.

"You think they saw us?" I asked as we flew invisible towards Argo City.

"I think the entire universe saw that Larfleeze is dead. Why didn't you use the Spear on him?" Peffy asked in a curious voice.

"...I did, but it doesn't work that way. Larfleeze wasn't trying to attack Earth." I muttered with a guilty voice.

Peffy just sighed. "You know the Orange Lantern wanted me. Why did you rush in to take it?"

"It's the same thing, but also not. Without the Green Lantern, greed would worm its way into your heart and mind. At least I think so, if the Starheart entity is right..." I answered with a sigh of my own.

Talking to myself was strange, and not something I ever imagined myself doing. Sure, Peffy was merely an aspect of my personality, perhaps the bravest and craziest part of me.

I glanced inside the inventory, to find the Starheart had become a lot more interested after I obtained the Orange Power Battery. Its interest had spiked to 11 %, granting me +13000 attributes to my draw limit from the Green Lantern.

It was crazy how strong I had become, that my two Lantern Rings were only doubling my lowest base stats now.

"I want Alexa for myself..." Peffy demanded in a greedy voice.

"No. You said you wanted Maxima, and maybe Ultraa and the other women on Almerac. They will make a great base for our Orange Corps. Once they reach 100." I countered with a harsh voice.

"Ah, the betrayal limit. How do you plan to take on Argo City?" Peffy asked in a sad voice.

"You know it already. Steal the Harun El boulder, save the city by landing it on Venus." I explained with a wry grin.

Peffy nodded in silence. "Alexa can land the city easily. With one hand..." he added helpfully.

I had envisioned tractor beams and Lantern force fields, but Peffy was right. The Strength Force was strong enough. Far stronger actually. Once Alexa realized her true powers, she could punch the Moon into small pebbles.

Any of the seven of us could do it too, using the Adept Limit, but Fuerza didn't need a limit. And it would be a great way for her to self-actualize into a stronger mentality.

"I think I should marry Maxima. Maybe that Ultraa as well. There are perks they gain as wives. Summoning, for example. Portals too." Peffy added while deep in thought.

I nodded slowly. "Apple Wizard will decide, but I think it's okay. We all have our own lives now."

"And we're fucking rich! Richer than anyone in the universe. Our kids won't starve." Peffy gloated with a cheerful voice.

"Someone will have to take charge of Venus too. And millions of Kryptonians." I mused to myself, then decided it should be me.

I was the strongest of us, with two lantern rings.

"See? You already made the decision. A million sexy kryptonian babes from outer space, eager to climb your dick and get impregnated naturally." Peffy said with a wide grin, just as we reached the Argo City in the Proxima system.

Lanterns moved far faster than any ship in existence, because they flew by emotion not engine power.

Peffy vanished for 0.02 seconds, then re-appeared after storing the Harun El boulder in inventory. He also kept a fist-sized black rock in hand, and began to chew from it, like it was cake. It tasted like bitter rock and dark magic.

*Ding

-You have consumed 1001 grams of Harun El. Due to your All Resistance at 100%, no permanent damage.

-Your MAG increases by 1001.

-Due to your Pain Mastery, you withstand pain beyond pain without dying.

-You gain heat vision and increased gravity control. Heat vision scales with WILL, MAG and PER.

Of course, without the Harun EL as a power source, the defenses and force field protecting Argo City began to fail, and even with Kyptonian tech the city wouldn't last long while exposed to space, or alien invaders. I had to save it now, or leave the legacy of Krypton to die.

I covered the city with a giant Lantern field, then began to drag the entire asteroid after me, with the help of the Spear and the Lantern Battery powering my stats with extra 23000.

Peffy flew as escort and company, since his 9000 STR was far too low to be of use. Not compared to my 40000.

What he did do on the way to Sol system and Venus, was continue to chew Harun El meals. A hundred bits of them, in fact.

Even as we bordered the ranks of a Tier 1 entity now, we were still morons. Could have eaten the Harun El before we fought Larfleeze.
