Chapter 391 I Don’t Want to Be the Host of the Parallax Monster Ah Ah Ah Ah Help!
War World.
Many years ago.
"Hurry up, they are catching up with us!"
Mungo heard his mother's voice. They were running in the ruins, and behind them came the sound of energy guns exploding and the loud noise of explosive projectiles exploding.
Mungo grabbed his mother's neck with his bare hands, lifted her up with his thin body, and then jumped out to avoid the roaring flames.
But even so, the two of them were blown away by the explosion and fell to the ground, and the pursuers behind them soon caught up with them.
"The wasteland is not a place for weak Chakgaran people to survive."
A group of Calisengir people surrounded the mother and son with energy guns and cold weapons taken from the crashed alien spacecraft nearby.
The leader had two dead skulls on his shoulders as decoration, and his yellow skin was covered with patterns of iron chains.
He said:
"This place belongs to the Calisengir tribe."
"Come closer." Mungo's mother said.
She stepped over her son, stood in front of the enemy, and drew the dagger from her waist.
"Karisongil, you are facing the spouse and son of Mongo."
"I don't see any Mongo here." The leading Karisongil said:
"There are only two weaklings waiting for us to have a good meal."
He raised his axe to the two.
But at this moment, the roar of some beast interrupted his action.
"What's that sound?" The young Mongo asked his mother.
"Grab your weapons and run!"
But in response to Mongo, there was only his mother's scream and the fearful roar of the enemy who had just tried to turn them into a meal:
"Don't worry about the Hakka people, run to a higher place!"
Some huge creature rushed out from behind the sand dunes of the wasteland, and his green scales reflected the yellow face of everyone's fear.
The bull mammoth is a huge creature that is at least 30 times larger than the young Mongo, with sharp fangs, huge mouths and bone spurs all over its body, and looks similar to a bull with fangs on Earth.
The Calisengir people poured bullets and light waves from energy guns at the beast.
However, such attacks were not painful to the bull mammoth. It took only a few seconds for it to kill several little people who were shooting at it with guns, and then it set its sights on the last two little people who ran the farthest.
He must stop the prey from escaping, starting with the farthest ones.
After killing everyone, it will sit down and enjoy dinner in peace. In the chaos, Mongo's mother pulled Mongo desperately to escape.
"It's coming!" The young Mongo felt his heart pounding. He had never faced such a huge beast.
He told his mother: "Try to get into a..."
"...What are you doing?"
Mungo saw his mother lift a stone from the ground and rushed directly towards the bull mammoth. The next moment, before the young Mungo could stop her, she was pierced through the abdomen by the bone spurs on the bull mammoth.
"No!!!!"
Mungo roared, picked up a spear thrown by the previous pursuers from the ground, and rushed directly towards the bull mammoth. He deliberately let the bull mammoth open its mouth and swallow him into its mouth, and then pierced the bull mammoth's brain through the eye socket with a spear from the inside.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!"
"War World above..."
As the giant beast fell to the ground like a mountain, the surviving Calisengir people saw the young Mungo forcefully pry open the bull mammoth's jaw and step out from the tusks. He was covered in the blood of the bull mammoth and looked like a bloody man.
"Get out of the way."
He said to a dumbfounded Calisengir in front of him.
The other party fled away in a hurry.
He walked to his mother and knelt down.
Mong's mother was coughing softly. A lot of blood poured out of her mouth, blocking her respiratory organs.
"Look... cough cough cough... you can do it... strong. The Calisengir people saw it." She said.
This may be the most gentle words Mong's mother has ever heard in his life.
"I will force them to treat you."
He turned his head and looked at the group of surviving Calisengir people.
"If they don't save you, I will kill them all." Mong said: "They live in the wasteland, they must be able to treat..."
"It's useless." Mong's mother said: "The Calisengir people do know how to treat, but they don't know how to treat fatal injuries."
She held up her dagger with her still shaking hands and handed it to Mong:
"Kariski and the others will now accept you into their tribe. They will teach you how to survive, but first, you..."
Mungo's mother took a breath and said, "You have to show them that you are as hard-hearted and ruthless as they are. Take this dagger and use it." Mungo lowered his bloody head.
"You said... you said that the War Zone tribe does not protect the weak. But you tried to protect me from the bull mammoth."
He asked, "Why?"
But his mother did not answer his question.
The dying woman just said this:
"The current Mungo chose me and favored me. Then... he made a child for you to become my burden, and then threw us into the wasteland to fend for ourselves."
The surrounding Calisengir people gathered around. They looked at the young king in silence.
"Do it."
His mother said.
"You have to kill the current Mungo and avenge us both."
She said:
"So now, show others how cruel you are."
"Do it."
She repeated the order to her son.
"Yes. Mother." Mungo said.
He raised the dagger that his mother had just handed him: "And, about revenge..."
"I will."
Mungo's mother closed her eyes.
Then... there was the sound of the blade piercing the flesh.
"I swear to you. I will become the new Mungo, and the current Mungo will wait for death in a distant place where his gods are not blessed. His soul will be lost in nothingness forever."
"When death finds him, his soul will only merge with the world of war and be reborn as a worm that eats carrion on the wounds of the dead."
"When death finds him, he will not wake up in the Garden of the Dead with those brave warriors in the war zone. He will only become dead grass, maggots, or scavengers, and there will be no piece of metal with his name engraved on it."
In front of his mother's body, the young Mungo swore an oath.
He whispered...
"The dead... said so."
...

Chen Tao pushed the scarecrow out.
He was thinking about his plan in his heart.
Parallax is definitely the first of the seven lantern beasts to possess others, and it is also the lantern beast that possesses the most characters, with the highest ability and expression.
When Parallax first possessed Hal, it raised Parallax Hal to the level of a multiverse powerhouse.
But this does not mean that Parallax is invincible.
For lantern beasts, they are the physical embodiment of emotional energy in the universe, so the strength they show after possessing others often depends on the power of the host.
When Parallax possessed Green Lantern Hal Jordan, he could almost fight all the heroes in the entire DC universe on his own, and almost restarted reality.
(Note: The DC event "Zero Hour" is mentioned here. In the 50th episode of Green Lantern v3, the event "Emerald Twilight", Hal Jordan turned evil and turned on the Green Lantern Central Energy Battery and merged with Parallax. In "Zero Hour", he tried to restore Coast City by destroying the existing universe and building a new world.)
Even when the Ghost and Parallax fought for Hal's body, Parallax Hal was still invincible in the Justice League while fighting against the Ghost, and beat the Justice League to the ground. (Note: from "Green Lantern: Rebirth") Doctor Fate and Zatanna's magic were ineffective because of fear.
However, when Parallax possessed other people, this record was not so outrageous.
For example, Gunther, the parallax monster once possessed this little blue man who was expelled from the Guardians of the Universe because he still had emotions (Episode 5 of "Green Lantern: Rebirth"), but was defeated by Green Lantern Hal and the other four Green Lanterns, a total of five Lanterns, who separated the parallax monster from Gunther and locked him in the four Green Lantern furnaces. Although the parallax monster Gunther once suppressed the five Lanterns, in fact, he only blocked the first round of attacks from the five Green Lanterns, which can be said to be very embarrassing.
This is also one of the origins of the famous Green Lantern stalk "Green Lanterns must be wiped out after five".
Later, the parallax monster also possessed many characters, such as Kyle Rayner and the Flash Barry Allen, but in fact, they did not have any outstanding performances.
Only in "Rage of the First Lantern", Sinestro used his willpower to tame the Parallax Monster in a critical moment, and used his power to take out the heart of the First Lantern with one blow. You have to know that the First Lantern was completely out of trouble and almost in his prime. The attacks of other Lanterns were like tickling him.
But even so, Parallax Sinestro's record is far different from that of Parallax Hal, and it is simply incomparable.
Caronna once made a very sharp comment to Sinestro: "Your willpower is very strong, but you lack a strong heart."
(Note: This comment comes from the big event "Green Lantern War")
A Green Lantern with a strong willpower like Hal Jordan is unique in the entire universe.
Each of the seven giants of the Justice League has their own uniqueness that cannot be replicated and replaced.
Therefore, Chen Tao never thought that after the Scarecrow was possessed by the Parallax Monster, he would suddenly become so strong that he could not control it.
But from another perspective, the Scarecrow was the best candidate for the Parallax Monster to possess.
The Parallax Monster liked hosts that could project great fear to others, or hosts that had fear in their hearts, such as the Flash Barry Allen.
But most of the time, except for the Parallax Monster Ganser and the Parallax Monster Kyle, who were basically hosts that the Parallax Monster had no choice but to use to make up the numbers (Note: and these two hosts were also the worst after being possessed by the Parallax Monster), the Parallax Monster always favored those who were good at instilling fear.
For example, Hal, who slaughtered the entire OA star and took away the Green Lantern Central Energy Battery, was simply the most ideal host for the Parallax Monster.
So much so that many years later, when Hal hooked his finger to seduce him, he immediately defected on the battlefield, abandoned Kyle Rayner, and tried to return to Hal's arms.
Therefore, for Parallax Monster, the scarecrow who has the ability to instill fear in others is definitely an attractive object.
Of course, Chen Tao never thought about challenging Parallax Monster himself. Throughout the history of comics, only Sinestro, after years of leading the Yellow Lantern Corps, has been able to control Parallax Monster while still retaining his own will. Every other host controlled by Parallax Monster has been controlled by Parallax Monster and completely lost himself.
In other words, every lantern beast of the seven lantern groups, when they possess, uses their own will to replace the will of the host -
The previous possession of the Blood Slaughter Bull by the Supreme Little Superman does not count. As I said, the Supreme Little Superman is a perfect Superman, and it is very likely that he is the strongest Superman except for the main universe Superman in a special state. He can be exempted from the control of the Blood Slaughter Bull, which is purely a miracle. It does not mean that others can do it. At least Chen Tao thinks he can't.
People like Sinestro and Mongo are still thinking about manipulating Parallax Monster. Chen Tao's evaluation is that he has never been beaten by Parallax Monster. It's true. The Emerald Twilight event in this universe has never happened. Everyone knows that Parallax Monster is very strong, but no one has a specific idea of how strong it is. The understanding of the extent to which the lamp beast can control the host is also very superficial.
So, let others challenge Parallax Monster, Chen Tao thought, he only needs to teleport the scarecrow that has been possessed by Parallax Monster away, and the other party will not be here...
Chen Tao was still thinking about it, and he saw that Parallax Monster passed by the scarecrow that he pushed out and floated in the universe, and flew straight towards him.
"????"
"What do you mean?"
"Batman from Earth--"
"You have the ability to project great fear to others..."
"Become my host..."
"????"
Not far away, Mongo's eyes widened suddenly.
He had been scheming for so long, but the Parallax Monster didn't even look at him. Even if the other party chose Sinestro, he could accept it!
"Come back, Parallax Monster, obey my orders..."
He used some methods of attracting lantern beasts from Kalonna and Lantern No. 1, but the Parallax Monster didn't even look at him.
"Damn..." Sinestro tried to swing the chain to pull the Parallax Monster, but he couldn't control the huge yellow lantern beast at all, and rushed straight towards Batman.
Then, everyone heard Batman's scream: "Ahhhhhhh, don't come over, stay away from me! ! ! ! Help!"
Mongo's eyes were red.
The Parallax Monster I have been seeking so hard, you still hate it?
He asked Death Storm through the yellow lantern ring:
"Why don't you do it?"
