In fact, the impact of Parallax's hateful blow on Zhent was much greater than imagined.
With the assistance of Rachel, Shane could clearly see that under the constant flow of fear energy, Zhent's body could not digest the energy quickly, so that part of its soul power that was supposed to be locked by Intelligent Atom was spit out.
Using fine stitches, Golden Apple and Magic Power as threads, the translucent soul body is embroidered with mottled gold threads.
Not willing to lose his body, Parallax roughly tore off more than half of those golden threads.
As the massive amount of energy was devoured, Zhent's physical and mental strength grew wildly and erratically. The consciousness that should have been integrated into one gradually split into three parts using the thoughts of fear as nourishment.
The division of the three spiritual thoughts caused Zhent's body to begin to undergo mutations.
The excess bones pierced the skin, and then quickly covered the flesh and blood meridians due to the infinitely blessed self-healing ability.
A pair of yellow vertical pupils unique to Parallax emerged from behind Zhent's left ear.
Parallax is no longer able to leave the body of Zhent, but its authority over fear has not weakened.
It blinked its terrifying eyes, and even began to actively extract hundreds of times the fear energy from the previous Negative Zone and pour it into Zhent's body.
A twisted face formed on the neck, limbs that were neither human nor insects protruded from under the ribs, and a yellow heart on the spine expanded like a balloon.
In a world of endless yellow light, an inhuman monster is gradually being born.
But Zhent kept his eyes tightly closed, as if he was completely unaware of anything outside.
Shane looked at all this with solemnity. He knew that it was not that Zhent was not alert enough, but that he knew how fascinating that feeling was.
"There is no need to exercise or fight, just like Superman greeting the sun, a massive amount of energy will surround you, and you can always feel that you are getting stronger. The happy feedback is as addictive as poison."
Shane murmured in a low voice, remembering the feeling when he wore five Yellow Lantern ring at once in order to fight against Doomsday.
Infinitely powerful illusions can make people fall into irresistible obsession.
Compared with himself at that time, Zhent at this moment is one step further, because he has been immersed in the base camp of Fear Corps, and it is exponentially more difficult to wake up from the sinking than Shane.
In the endless energy feeding, time passed quickly, until another face emerged from Zhent's cheek, finally surprising the original owner.
Shane is self-aware. When the soul is separated and calculated separately, the consciousness with the earth as the main body must be relatively the weakest.
But the energy in Negative Zone is so rich that even the weak who originally had difficulty competing against the other two consciousnesses have received rich nourishment.
As Zhent wakes up, the inspection monster that has been holding back for an unknown amount of time appears again, trying to obliterate Zhent's will.
But Zhent united with another relatively weak soul to resist the erosion of Parallax.
Since Parallax's body has been completely devoured, although the three of them have different wills, their authority over Light of Fear is exactly the same.
The three fell into a long-term confrontation.
It's like the feudal princes uniting to fight each other vertically and horizontally.
Shane discovered that the soul whose thinking was closer to the Shane mode was not completely sincere in helping Zhent.
When Parallax was at a disadvantage, the quietly growing idea of the earth unexpectedly attacked Monarch's consciousness.
He can probably understand why.
He also has his own selfish desires. He knows that Parallax can turn him into Parallax, and he thinks that with the power of Parallax, he may have the power to transcend time and space.
Most of my thoughts about the earth are about returning to my hometown.
It's just that the three consciousnesses are controlling one body. Under the constant supply of energy, the body also begins to grow completely deformed and wildly due to the competition among the three.
Earth Zhent wants to retain a complete human appearance, Emperor Zhent is trying to get a more powerful body suitable for fighting, and Parallax Zhent wants to grow back to that damn insect appearance.
With each holding his own thoughts, Intelligent Atom's operating mode has long been disordered, and eventually evolved into a twisted monster that would make ordinary people lose their sanity at just one glance.
Then another long time passed.
Monarch finally convinced his other self, and the two worked together to defeat Parallax. In order to avoid completely dissipating, the latter escaped into the depths of his consciousness and stopped acting like a monster.
The thought of the earth also gave up the fight, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Monarch began to integrate his own power, and cut off the excess bloat on his body with the help of a scalpel embodied by fear energy.
Those deformed flesh and bones that were cut off actually collapsed immediately after leaving Monarch's body, seamlessly transforming into the yellow light that filled Negative Zone.
Finally, the young man Monarch, who once again regained his human form, reached out and opened the crack that had long separated Negative Zone.
He came to earth for the first time.
After a long time, the Black-suit Superman that could easily suppress Monarch with one finger no longer exists.
Instead, there is a new Superman that has the memory of both Black-suit Superman and the ordinary Superman, but is only more powerful and limited than the ordinary Superman.
Even Justice League has many new faces that have not been seen before.
At first, Monarch did not want to alarm others, but used the power of fear that was already at his fingertips to disguise his appearance.
He found Rachel who was living in seclusion on earth.
Although it is not Metropolis, you can still see the deserted seaside scenery.
She even built a simple little house with her own hands.
Oh, now Rachel also has his own title. Although he has not joined any hero group, he occasionally helps Superhero who comes to ask for help.
Just like Madame Xanadu, in a semi-reclusive environment.
Raven.
She recognized Monarch with a more disgraceful appearance at a glance, and the two hugged each other tightly. Raven gently stroked Monarch's head and said bluntly that the other person must have suffered too much, otherwise his soul would not be so riddled with holes.
After a period of time, Monarch hid in Raven's retreat, and the latter helped the former use Magic to soothe the trauma in his soul.
But Monarch's whereabouts have not been hidden from everyone.
After the coma incident of Flash, a new Green Lantern appeared on the earth and detected the signal of Yellow Lantern.
The Green Lantern named Guy Gardner bluntly said that the Yellow Lantern energy in Monarch was too pure and was suspected to be related to Fear Corps and Parallax who had been missing for many years.
Any character associated with Yellow Lantern is a target that every member of Green Lantern Corps should attack and take into custody.
Ordinary verbal offenses cannot anger Zhent. When he was fighting with the triple spirit in Negative Zone, the ability of the earth spirit and Parallax to spit out fragrance was hundreds of times better than the violent Green Lantern.
But Guy Gardner broke into Raven's private property and destroyed Raven's cabin.
By the time the new Justice League arrived, Guy Gardner had become a shriveled corpse.
Zhent replaced Parallax's ecological niche in the universe. As the source of fear, as soon as he touched the opponent, Green Lantern ring's energy was instantly burned clean.
Along with the energy filled in Green Lantern's blood, part was evaporated and part was absorbed by Zhent's constitution.
The brand new Willpower Energy has stimulated new changes in Zhent's body, but the most significant one is the yellow Light of Fear that is constantly steaming around the body.
It is worth mentioning that among the new Justice League, there are three Green Lantern.
Guy Gardner's death stimulated the other three Green Lantern, and the new Superman also recognized the true identity of Monarch by virtue of the memory inherited from Black-suit Superman.
