After realizing that the 'Blackest Night' prophecy will come to pass, Ganthet and Sayd depart after creating a Blue Lantern Ring with the intention of creating their own Corps. In the aftermath of the war, the Guardians decide to bring the second of the new laws into effect. Ganthet also reveals that in the coming future, each color will have its own forces like the Lantern Corps, and these forces will fight against the others in a War of Light across the universe that will lead into the event known as 'The Blackest Night', the worst of the hidden prophecies of the Book of Oa. The further towards one end of the spectrum an energy color is, the more diffiuclt its power is to control, leading to a corruptive influence over the user. Ganthet and Sayd also explain to the four about the Emotional Spectrum created at the start of sentience that is separated into 7 colors: green (willpower), yellow (fear), violet (love), red (hate), indigo (compassion), orange (greed), and blue (hope), each representing different forms of emotion, with green being in the center and balancing the energies. The four men then take their lanterns and hearing the Sinestro Corps oath, recite the classic Green Lantern oath, and depart to confront the Sinestro Corps. He asks if Kyle is willing to downgrade himself to a normal Green Lantern, which Kyle quickly agrees too. Ganthet's final act as Guardian is to make Kyle a new power ring. As Ganthet explains, he and Sayd were kicked out of the Guardians of the Universe. Just as Parallax (now back in his monster form) attacks the Lanterns for freeing Kyle Rayner, Ganthet and Sayd arrive and draw Parallax into four separate lanterns ( Hal, Kyle, John, and Guy's, respectively). He also acknowledged, however, that even the Guardians themselves did not know exactly what the Blackest Night was.ĭuring the Sinestro Corps War, Ganthet and a female Guardian named Sayd are banished from the council for feeling emotion. Ganthet called the Sinestro Corps invasion of Earth the second verse of the hidden chapter, with the Blackest Night itself being the third and final verse.

Ībin Sur initially uncovered this prophecy and was forbidden to speak of it. The Guardians refer to this prophecy as the last and hidden chapter of the Book, describing their final fate and ultimate purpose because they did the forbidden - they felt fear. And a wave of light will unleash the truth behind the power of the ring.

The Book of Oa, a sacred text of the Guardians of the Universe, contains a prophecy called 'The Blackest Night', which states:Ī face of metal and flesh shall speak of the secrets of the 52.
