It wasn't difficult for the experienced Guardians of the Universe to create the Yellow Lantern Ring, which utilizes the power of fear; it was forged in just one night.
Sinestro and the members of the Fear Squad saw the massive monster on the other side of the wormhole being propelled by lightning and crashing towards them at high speed.
They quickly activated their Green Lantern Rings, and yellow light condensed into a protective shield, but in the next instant, they were still heavily knocked back.
Bang!
Crack.
A terrifying force struck, and the shield cracked, barely holding on. Sinestro tumbled nearly a thousand meters, then regained his balance with a grim expression.
"Who is it? Which Lantern opened the wormhole, allowing Parallax to have a direct path to Oa?"
Why did this lightning attack feel so strangely familiar? Only the color was a bit off; this golden-yellow lightning contained even more terrifying power.
His expression suddenly changed.
On the other side of the wormhole.
Ron, with a slight smile, flew slowly from the other side with Catwoman and Superman, confirming Sinestro's suspicions.
"It's really you. You've come to Oa again!"
Sinestro's face was grim. He then looked at Parallax, his eyes flickering as he angrily said, "You actually brought a monster to Oa."
The Guardians of the Universe and his plan was to have Ron fight Parallax, and no matter who won, his Yellow Lantern Squad would clean up the aftermath.
But he didn't expect Ron to open a wormhole and bring Parallax to Oa.
Did he know Parallax's origin?
Coming to an alien Planet for the first time, Superman observed the situation on Oa with a hint of curiosity, then was startled when he heard that remark.
Why did it sound like the people of Oa had some kind of grudge against the god who saved his father?
"Don't pretend you don't know it. I didn't have to come."
In the starry sky, Ron sneered faintly.
"But your monster from Oa is destroying things all over the Universe and even came to Earth."
Whether it was the possessed Guardian or Parallax, the sentient embodiment of fear, both originated from Oa. If it weren't for the Guardians of the Universe, this wouldn't have happened.
Parallax, which absorbs the fear and life from living Planets everywhere, was another disaster created by the little blue men that threatened the Universe.
"Oa, I'm back."
Parallax looked at the familiar Oa, its eyes filled with ferocity. This place, which had imprisoned it for billions of years, it had returned to again.
And this time, it would destroy this Planet and kill everyone who had imprisoned it.
"Everything, all of it, turn into cosmic dust!"
Parallax roared, and the yellow light on its body surged, its power erupting without reservation. The entire starry sky was like a rising yellow sun, emitting light waves that pushed everyone away.
Under the blazing light of fear, all living beings felt unease and terror in their hearts.
"What is that?!"
On Oa, yellow light illuminated the sky, and a group of Lanterns stared wide-eyed, an inexplicable chill of fear rising in their hearts.
"It's here."
In the temple, a few Guardians of the Universe exchanged glances, their eyes showing a hint of solemnity.
The Green Lantern Corps received the warning and quickly flew into space. Led by the Guardians of the Universe, thousands of Lanterns stood ready, as if facing a formidable enemy.
"This monster has become stronger again?"
Blocking the dazzling light of fear with his hand, Superman's mouth was slightly agape in surprise.
Catwoman's pretty face turned pale, and she was uncontrollably afraid. This had nothing to do with her courage, but with Parallax's ability to instill fear in all living beings.
Her will was not strong enough to resist Parallax's light of fear.
Only Ron's expression remained unchanged, his cold, powerful will unshaken in the slightest.
He already knew that Parallax's previous state wasn't its limit. Even when it fought them later, Parallax had reserved some energy to destroy Oa.
Now that it had reached Oa and its long-hated enemies were before it, Parallax no longer held back its power.
"This power is indeed quite considerable."
Moreover, this was not Parallax's strongest power when possessing a living being. If it possessed Flash or Superman, it would be even more terrifying.
Recorded Template: Parallax, Sentient Embodiment of Fear: 7 Million
"Similar to the Ion Shark template's required power points for Willpower."
"Green Lantern Corps"
In space, Parallax, with its tentacles writhing, exuded a terrifying aura and glared at the Green Lantern Corps.
"Green Lantern Corps, attack."
They couldn't bother with Ron anymore. Facing Parallax, who seemed ready to devour them, Sinestro roared, leading the Yellow Lantern Squad to attack first, using the power of fear.
Thousands of Lanterns worked together, their willpower converging to form a giant, hard emerald chain, which they used to bind Parallax.
Parallax's eyes flashed with yellow light, and its entire body almost transformed into a yellow crystal. Each tentacle fired fear rays.
Cutting through the binding chains of willpower, it suddenly shot out, severely wounding and killing dozens of Lanterns.
"Guardians of the Universe, you imprisoned me for countless years. Now it's time for you to pay the price."
It laughed ferociously, not forgetting Ron and the others, and turned its head: "And you, you dared to offend the embodiment of cosmic fear."
Fear rays attacked, cutting through the air.
Parallax unleashed its power, attacking everywhere, intent on slaughtering everything in its sight.
Catwoman manipulated her Green Lantern Ring to create a shield, blocking herself and Ron, but it didn't last even a moment before shattering.
Ron calmly extended his hand, and emerald light condensed into a shield, easily blocking the attack. Then, his willpower transformed into a giant longbow, a hundred meters tall.
He mentally drew the bow and nocked an arrow, and the bowstring was pulled taut before suddenly firing. The giant arrow flew through space like a meteor, shooting towards Parallax's head.
Crack.
Before it could hit, Parallax caught it with a tentacle and brutally snapped the arrow. The willpower dissipated into space.
It turned its gaze fiercely, preparing to fire an energy blast at Ron.
"Monster, stop your resistance, surrender!"
Superman rushed forward, transforming into light and appearing before Parallax, delivering a heavy punch.
He hadn't forgotten that Ron and Catwoman had saved his father's life.
"And why doesn't this corps seem as strong as I thought?"
Clark noticed that while the members of this corps were individually powerful and possessed extraordinary abilities, they were still no match for Parallax, constantly suffering casualties.
Parallax fully displayed the might of its fear power. With every fear ray, more than one Lantern, who once had the ability to protect a sector of the Universe, was killed.
He couldn't help but feel anxious and stepped forward, unleashing Earth-shattering power, actively becoming the main force in the battle against Parallax.
"Kryptonian?"
The Guardians of the Universe saw Superman and frowned slightly.
Kryptonians had once brought them shame, and now seeing Superman on their side felt a bit unaccustomed.
Ron no longer urged his divine power to unleash lightning.
He manipulated his willpower to manifest a giant Sentinel robot, twenty to thirty meters tall, and stayed inside its chest armor with Catwoman.
"Energy Beam Cannon."
In the cockpit, on a soft sofa, Ron slowly sat down, picked up a controller, looked at the screen outside, and manipulated the Sentinel robot to raise its arm and attack.
"Plasma Railgun."
"Are you... are you playing a video game?"
Catwoman, beside him, was stunned.
Outside in space, the Green Lantern Corps and Parallax were locked in fierce combat, with the Lanterns suffering heavy casualties.
Meanwhile, Ron was leisurely playing a game, controlling a robot.
"Parallax is their doing; it has nothing to do with me. I'm already helping."
Pressing the controller to operate the Sentinel robot's attack, he said faintly.
"I'm not saying you should help. It just feels so disjointed."
Catwoman's expression was blank. She didn't think Ron had an obligation to help, but this was simply too bizarre.
Parallax sounded like a monster that threatened the entire Universe, and the Green Lantern Corps, which maintained cosmic peace, was fighting it.
It could be said that this was a brutal battle that would determine the safety and fate of the entire Universe, and Ron entered this battle by playing a video game.
"Want to join? You can control the head and fire lasers."
Another controller was manifested.
Ron glanced at her.
"Of course."
Catwoman paused, then thought it sounded good and quickly sat down to play the game as well.
In an epic battle that would be recorded in cosmic history, fighting a monster by playing a video game felt incredibly cool and exciting.
The two of them controlled the giant Sentinel to join the battle, though mostly just slacking off.
Parallax's power was still left for the Green Lantern Corps to wear down.
Of the three people from Earth, only the young Superman fought desperately, wanting to help Oa deal with Parallax.
The Green Lanterns seemed so weak at this moment. Even with their combined willpower, they were no match for Parallax and were being wantonly slaughtered by it.
Above Oa, bodies floated and blood splattered, a scene of utter carnage.
Whoosh!
A yellow ray shot from behind.
"You dare to steal my power to use against me?"
After being attacked by a Yellow Lantern, Parallax angrily turned around, bound that person with a tentacle, and squeezed hard. The Yellow Lantern was crushed into a pulp.
"You shameful thieves."
It flew forward ferociously, fear power radiating everywhere. No Lantern could resist where it passed, and it specifically targeted and killed Yellow Lanterns.
"Parallax, you are nothing but a sentient being born from the power of fear."
Protected by a group of Green Lanterns, one of the Guardians of the Universe said coldly, "You don't represent fear itself."
Parallax could be seen as the living embodiment of the Yellow Lantern's fear power, but it didn't represent the entirety of fear power and could still be harmed by it.
Just as everyone's will is unique, others have their own fears for different people.
"You will be placed back in the Forbidden Sanctuary."
Seeing that the Lanterns couldn't stop Parallax and it was almost upon them, a few Guardians of the Universe stood in a line and finally acted, using their powerful telekinesis.
With the power to move mountains and overturn seas, they collectively restrained Parallax in place.
The power of each Guardian was even stronger than that of the young Superman.
"Never, you will never. After countless years of imprisonment, I thought of destroying you every moment. I will never be locked back in that place."
Parallax roared, its power erupting as it violently broke free from the invisible restraints, and charged furiously at the Guardians of the Universe.
"It's stronger than we thought."
The Guardians of the Universe retreated rapidly, feeling a bit troublesome as they spoke to each other.
However, being emotionless, they didn't show much fear.
"Stop your steps, monster!"
The Green Lantern Corps reorganized their attack. Nearly two thousand Lanterns gritted their teeth and gathered their willpower like a river, forming a giant lasso that dragged Parallax back.
But unfortunately, it was only temporary.
"Annoying insects, all of you die."
Parallax turned and roared at the galaxy, its fear power transforming into an energy blast. Dozens more Lanterns were annihilated, their bodies disappearing in the brilliant yellow light.
It then moved the energy blast towards Ron's position on the battlefield.
The Guardians of the Universe were hated by Parallax due to years of imprisonment, but it hadn't forgotten Ron's humiliation of it either.
"Freeze Ray."
Ron manipulated the Sentinel robot to attack first.
An attack glowing with emerald light landed on Parallax, forming a green ice block that emitted terrifying low temperatures, freezing Parallax's two eyes.
Unable to see anything, it instinctively closed its mouth.
"The manifestation ability of the emotional spectrum is truly idealistic and wondrous."
The ice shattered. Facing Parallax's subsequent counterattack, he calmly controlled the robot's body to dodge, sighing slightly.
Not only shape and material, but even specific characteristics could be manifested. It could manifest low-temperature ice, high-temperature flames, and even stars, or create pocket Universes.
As long as the power was strong enough, anything could be manifested.
This was one of the reasons he wanted to collect and control the emotional spectrum.
"And another reason is the White Lantern power, the unification of the seven Lanterns."
"The White Lantern is the embodiment of life force. The White Lantern power can prevent people from being killed."
It wasn't just simple regeneration or immortality, but immortality on a conceptual level.
With his template system, he was confident that as long as he didn't die, he would eventually reach the peak of the Multiverse, and perhaps even an omniversal-level powerhouse might not be impossible.
So, life-saving abilities were very important.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Parallax saw the Guardians of the Universe flying into the distance. It abandoned Ron, broke free from the lasso, and, enduring the obstruction of the Lanterns and Superman, pursued them again.
"Green Lantern Corps, open a wormhole."
As they retreated through space using telekinesis, the Guardians of the Universe coldly commanded, "Send Parallax away."
They had underestimated Parallax's power after absorbing a large amount of fear.
It seemed they and the Green Lantern Corps were temporarily unable to deal with Parallax.
"If the corps members were entirely Yellow Lanterns, perhaps they could take down Parallax. The Green Lanterns require stronger willpower for greater power, relying entirely on themselves and unable to use external forces. The Yellow Lanterns become stronger the more fear they can create and the more they are feared."
Oa and the Green Lantern Corps had guarded the Universe for countless years, deterring countless villains and instilling fear in countless evildoers in the Universe. If they were to switch to Yellow Lantern power, perhaps every Lantern could have the strength of an ordinary Kryptonian.
"We need time." Another Guardian said loudly.
They needed time for the corps to change their power. In the short term, Sinestro and the others seemed unaffected.
"Guardians, where are you sending it?"
Forming a giant yellow fist, which slammed into Parallax's face, Sinestro shouted, his eyes secretly gleaming with excitement.
His chosen Yellow Lantern Squad had almost all died in Parallax's specific attack, except for him.
Sinestro was once called, along with Abin Sur, the most elite and powerful Green Lantern warrior in the Green Lantern Corps, but he felt his compatibility with the power of fear seemed even higher, much higher.
"My body is surging with unprecedented power."
Now he felt an unprecedented strength, his heart burning with fervor, but at this moment, with the Green Lantern Corps suffering heavy casualties, he couldn't show it.
"Earth, send it back to Earth."
The Guardians of the Universe spoke coldly.
Nearly a thousand Green Lanterns had died in this battle, plus the Lanterns killed by Ron, the Green Lantern Corps had almost lost half its members.
Moreover, almost all Lanterns were constantly affected by fear, and continuing the fight would undoubtedly lead to defeat.
"What?"
Superman, like a meteor, heavily crashed into Parallax's chest, making it stumble again, then was sent flying by the angry Parallax's whipping tentacles.
He had just regained his balance in space, enduring the pain and still wanting to fight, but the next second he couldn't believe what he heard, greatly astonished.
"Did I mishear? I heard you were the Police of the Universe, always maintaining the safety of the Universe. But are you going to throw a monster you can't deal with onto other fragile living Planets?!"
Although he was an alien, having grown up under his parents' care, he had come to consider Earth his home and himself an Earthling.
In the cockpit, Ron chuckled softly, shaking his head as he watched Superman, who couldn't believe the little blue men's command.
"How naive, Clark."
