Chapter 394 Now Is the Time to Demonstrate Courage and Will

I am Sinestro.

My hometown, Koruga, is a beautiful planet with extremely developed civilization, including cultural industries. When I was young, I often saw many TV dramas and stories in which vicious villains would use such reasons to whitewash their actions.

"How do you define evil? What I do is just/really valuable/all the efforts I make for it are worthy of attention."

I used to think that these so-called self-justifications were ridiculous and boring, and I never thought that I would become such a person one day. For me, no matter what it is, as long as it is beneficial to Koruga and the civilization of the entire universe, no matter how shocking and unconventional it seems, it should be done-

Including but not limited to sacrificing innocent people, depriving personal freedom, and of course, creating the Yellow Lantern Corps and seizing the Green Lantern Corps' rule over the universe.

Whether it is beneficial to the universe and the planet is the only truth to judge whether an act is just, and I have always regarded it as my creed in life.

Although my beliefs are not accepted by my wife, the so-called belief is something that will be carried out to the end without hesitation regardless of whether anyone understands it or not.

But not now.

If I can bring Parallax back to Koruga, I have 10,000 ways to slowly cook this monster of fear.

No matter how powerful Parallax is, it still needs a host. After all, it is a beast, a collection of emotions, not an intelligent creature with all emotions.

I never doubted that I could win the final victory in this tug-of-war against Parallax. As long as I have time, I will be able to slowly and thoroughly control Parallax and turn his power of fear into the cornerstone of my establishment of a new order in the universe.

But now everything is ruined.

Sinestro looked at Batman's body floating in the universe with his peripheral vision.

Batman is dead.

It's terrible.

Sinestro didn't think about killing Batman, just as he trapped Hal Jordan and his former Green Lantern Corps colleagues in the Phantom Zone instead of designing to kill them all.

The reason is also very simple, because Sinestro knows that his Green Lantern colleagues are a group of good people.

And good people don't deserve to die, right? He is also a good person. He is doing the right thing.

Sinestro hopes that one day, the yellow lantern can bring greater order to the universe, and Hal and his fellow Green Lanterns will agree with what he has done from the bottom of their hearts. At that time...

He can travel in the universe with Hal Jordan again, just like when Abinsu took him with him many, many years ago.

They will bring hope, peace and order to countless universes and planets, and spread all the beauty of the world to the entire universe, and most importantly, they will be brothers.

It is strange that some people have been together for half a lifetime but still have different dreams, while some people can feel like old friends after getting along for a short time.

Even when Hal Jordan had a big fight with him and decided to join the rebellion of those he opposed, Sinestro never really regarded Hal Jordan as an enemy.

Even when the battle was the most intense, they still cherished each other.

And the saddest thing in the world is this: they will always be best friends, even though Hal played a role in all this.

Sinestro was in a trance again. Abinsu's hesitant face flashed before his eyes, followed by Alinsu's sobbing expression.

He had sworn before, he swore never to let the woman he loved cry.

But he broke his promise.

He had sworn before, he swore to Abinsu, he would be worthy of the ring on his hand and bring justice and order to the universe.

He might also break his promise...

Sinestro regained some of his sanity and focused more on the current problem. If the Parallax Monster possessed Mongo, Sinestro could imagine what would happen.

In order to absorb more fear, the Parallax Monster would actively create fear. For example, let a planet with intelligent life fall into a situation where it could be destroyed at any time, and then slowly harvest the fear of everyone on the entire planet, kill some people from time to time, and finally destroy that civilization... and then destroy the next one.

Unlike the Blood Slaughter Bull, the intense anger from the heart is not something that can be found everywhere. For the Blood Slaughter Bull, what he needs is the extreme anger that can make him full, not the ordinary anger that cannot meet the standard.

But for the fearful Parallax Monster, there are not so many requirements. He only needs fear, no matter how small the fear is, it is still fear.

For the Parallax Monster, the fear gained by creating order is far less than the fear that can be gained by creating chaos. Moreover, fear is just a tool in hand for Sinestro, not the ultimate goal. His goal is fundamentally different from that of the Parallax Monster, a monster that feeds on fear.

After destroying one planet after another, the Parallax Monster will become stronger and stronger, and the planets that can be threatened will increase. Without the suppression of the Green Lantern Corps, the entire universe and hundreds of sectors will collapse because of fear, which will strengthen the power of the Parallax Monster...

And all this was done by Sinestro.

"Abinsu... Tell me, what should I do."

Sinestro's head was covered with cold sweat. He kept building a large number of yellow light barriers to try to block the footsteps of the Parallax Monster, but it was useless. The beast rushed towards Mongo like crazy. Whether Mongo could control the Parallax Monster or not, it made no difference to Sinestro. What the Parallax Monster would do, Mongo would do. He liked to watch the slaves fight each other in the Colosseum and shed their last drop of blood. That was what Mongo would do. Mongo turning the entire universe into a huge Colosseum was no better than the Parallax Monster turning the universe into a farmland for harvesting fear.

It was too late.

Things were developing too fast, far beyond his control. His previous preparations for Mongo were a countermeasure to Mongo's plan to assassinate him. But now Mongo simply didn't assassinate himself.

Sinestro created another yellow barrier to separate Mongo and the Parallax Monster.

The Death Storm was now following Mongo, with Batman's blood on his hands. Sinestro was determined to kill him...

Batman was a good man anyway.

Although he was despicable, used dirty and evil means, had mental problems, and was crazy.

But he knew that Batman was a good man, and he protected his planet, just as Sinestro protected Koruga.

He shouldn't die, and Sinestro didn't think of killing Batman. He was ready for Mongo and Batman.

As long as Batman didn't appear here, everything would be in order, without any problems.

"Abinsu... What should I do."

Sinestro was whispering.

He had already removed Mongo's yellow lantern ring, and he could easily control every yellow lantern ring of the entire Yellow Lantern Corps.

However...

The majestic green energy gushed out from Mongo's palm.

At this time, he was wearing a green glove, and a green energy conduit connected the glove directly to the green backpack behind it.

Sinestro didn't know what it was. The only thing he realized was that it could use green energy more easily than any other green ring he had ever seen.

Although Mongo had lost his yellow ring, he was now like wearing a dozen green rings.

That was the Power Glove forged by Kalona. When Kalona had just defected, he made that thing to deal with the pursuit of other Guardians of the Universe.

The Power Glove can help Kalona use green will energy more easily. It is a weapon that culminates Kalona's understanding of the emotional spectrum. When he massacred Sector 666 and was eventually captured by the Guardians of the Universe, Kalona's Power Glove was also obtained by the Guardians of the Universe, and based on the technology of the Power Glove, they invented a method to forge a green ring.

Therefore, the Power Glove can be regarded as a large green ring, and it is an enhanced version. In the comics, Hal even used the Power Glove to forge a green ring with his willpower.

Boom!

The violent impact hit the barrier created by Sinestro with the yellow light ring. He knew very well that he could not hold on for long. If it were not for Aqilo who was not far away and did not want Mongo to get the Parallax Monster and become the master of the Parallax Monster, and was secretly tripping Mongo from behind, Sinestro might not have been able to hold on for so long.

But he must think of other ways, otherwise defeat is only a matter of time.

"You will be controlled by the Parallax Monster, Mongo."

He told the other party: "Neither you nor I, neither of us has strong enough willpower to conquer the Parallax Monster directly. We don't need to do this. We can take the Parallax Monster back and then slowly study how to control it."

Sinestro himself couldn't say anything more, because he knew that Mongo would never compromise.

Tell me, Abinsu...

What should I do?

Sinestro turned his head and looked at the Parallax Monster. At this time, he already had his own answer in his heart.

"Sinestro, you can't choose to give up a few people to ensure the interests of the majority." He remembered a conversation with Abinsu: "You said the minority obeys the majority? What if one faction happens to have more people than the other? You can sacrifice one person to save thousands of people, but can you sacrifice 100 people to save 101 people? This is not the way to do things."

"There is always a choice. You must think of ways to solve the problem besides sacrificing others. Human life is not a simple addition and subtraction problem. Even those evil races should not be..."

"What? Value? Do you think that kind races are more suitable to survive than evil and aggressive races by nature?"

"Come on, or let me ask you a more pointed question:"

"If sacrificing your planet Koruga can save the entire sector, will you do it?"

"You said you would, but when such a situation really occurs, you simply can't do it! Come on, Sinestro, your idea is problematic, you have to admit it."

"Value, you use value to measure, what if you sacrifice yourself?"

"... This will inevitably lead to selfishness, Sinestro, you will feel that your value is greater than the entire civilization, but in fact it is just an excuse you find for yourself."

"That's right, Sinestro, just give up. I don't deny utilitarianism, but absolute utilitarianism is as harmful as absolute duty theory! People are not numbers and cannot be put on the scale to weigh their value."

"We are Green Lanterns, we have no right to decide who lives and who dies."

"... Abinsu, look at the policies I implemented on Koruga, I have eliminated crime..."

"The fact is, I did it..."

"Do you still think what I did is wrong?"

"I have created happiness for more people, and I have cut off those evils like corrupt abscesses..."

Sinestro lowered his head.

Many years ago, Abinsu once accused him of putting his own value above many people. They had quarreled countless times between master and apprentice, but generally maintained a result of mutual understanding.

But this was the only thing that Sinestro had always been worried about.

Therefore...

"This moment is the moment to implement courage and will."

If the parallax monster merges with Mongo, it would be better to...

Let me do it.

Sinestro tightened his yellow light ring.

This is the best ending for everyone.

"I won't let you do this, Sinestro."

However, at this moment, Mongo's voice came to his ears, and the other party seemed to guess what he wanted to do:

"Have you forgotten? The device that exiles people to the Phantom Zone was provided by me. How could you be so stupid as to use what I provided to exile yourself?"

The hot green light surrounded Mongo's figure, and Sinestro always felt like laughing. He was so familiar with those greens, but in the end he stood on the opposite side of that color, and what was even more ridiculous was that the guy who manipulated that color now was an ambitious man like Mongo.

He said loudly: "You don't understand who you are dealing with, Sinestro, and Batman too."

"People's value is determined by strength." He heard Mongo say:

"You are too weak, you don't deserve the power of Parallax, and you don't understand how much I am willing to pay for all this."

The shadow of Kalonna's dark blue soul appeared on Mongo's face, like a dark blue mask covering it.

He looked down at Sinestro through the yellow light barrier: "I want you to remember this day, remember this time, remember now."

"Remember your wife and children, remember that you are vulnerable, remember that you may die here."

Mongo wanted to continue to say something:

"You didn't..."

However, at this moment, Mongo suddenly lowered his head, and he stared at a hand piercing his heart from behind.

"Too much nonsense."

He heard the person behind him say.
