Now that Green Lantern has arrived, Tom glows an emerald hue, causing the branches in the cavern to disperse, revealing an Oan Power Battery hidden by the Green.

Levi appeared to die in the battle, but Green Lantern's light kicked Swamp Thing's regeneration into high gear and made him more powerful than before.
