That pale blue light was composed of extremely pure Green Lantern energy and a very dense yellow glow.

This was also the idea he proposed when he answered John's questions.

That was yellow light, representing fear.

In the common sense of Oa over millions of years.

When the green and Yellow Spectrum meet, the irrational fear they represent reacts like a strong acid.

It instantly corroded and disintegrated the green will structure, causing its concrete form to collapse.

But in John, the dark fear did not corrupt his will...

The only result that can be determined.

It means that the individual's will is strong enough to suppress the counterattack of the other "natural enemy".

Similarly.

The fear contained within this individual is so terrifying that it can perfectly control these unruly and perverse insects.

The image moved forward one frame.

The fist collided suddenly with the jade.

In the mimicry, the massive construct of "oneself" turned into countless flying green dust particles in less than half a second.

John then cut in, his fist striking the outside of John's chest.

The Green Lantern uniform, designed to withstand solar Stormfront, was pierced through by this simple, unadorned punch.

Is this the power of Kryptonian...?

Even seeing this scene again, Sinestro still found it unbelievable.

Thinking about it, he waved his hand.

The light and shadow in the sky dissipated instantly with a thought, returning to the monotonous lead-gray ice valley around them.

If the Parallax's fear is storms, floods, hysterical self-destruction, and the collapse of its will.

What John displays is more like a domineering and conquering force that exploits fear.

Fight fear with fear.

Sinestro closed his eyes, and the image of the curfew night in the Third District of Korugar gradually surfaced in his mind.

That was his fourth revolution cycle since he took over the regime on his home planet.

At that time, more than 60,000 mechanics in the southern industrial area went on strike, blocked the fusion fuel valves, and demanded the abolition of the wartime labor order.

However, Sinestro did not act as a mediator, nor did he make any statements to calm the situation.

He hovered alone above the assembly square, using his ring to represent a guillotine spanning three city blocks.

In front of 60,000 people, they directly cut off the oxygen supply system for the area.

Fifteen minutes.

Sixty thousand people knelt on the ground in a sorry state, their fingernails digging into the cracks in the earth due to lack of oxygen, and their throats uttering dry, suffocating sounds.

The mother tightly covered the baby's purple face, while the old man's eyes were bloodshot and bulging, and he was on the verge of fainting.

Twenty minutes later, the oxygen valve was reconnected by Sinestro, the switch disappeared silently, and then turned into green dust.

Sinestro didn't utter a single word from beginning to end.

The valves were restarted the next morning, and the factory resumed operations.

The overall productivity of the continent increased by a significant 12 percent.

Over the next seven orbital periods, the crime rate in the entire Korugar dropped to zero.

The streets were unusually quiet at night, as no one dared to step out of their homes after curfew.

From then on, the Guardians of Oa paid homage to him in the High Council Hall, referring to Korugar as --

" Sector 1417: The most perfect example of peace."

They believed that the peace enveloping Korugar came from "will and order".

How blindly reckless!

Sinestro knew perfectly well that what kept this civilization running was never a noble will, but fear.

It's the workers' heart palpitations when they look up and see a green light flashing past their windows, and the citizens' trembling when they hear patrolling police officers.

So-called "peace" is nothing more than a green veneer called "oath".

John embodies what he has always wanted.

Willpower forms the skeleton, fear fleshes out the flesh.

That is the scepter that can completely end all turmoil and bring all living beings under the ironclad laws of order...

With that in mind, Sinestro walked to the edge of the cliff and found a flat piece of ice rock.

Immediately afterward, with a thought, he forced out a wisp of green light with his fingertip, carving a beacon in the void.

The beacon's contents exclude all redundant descriptions.

Based on the data and slow-motion analysis, three distinct conclusions were drawn:

First:

Sector 2814 Defender Abin Sue has been confirmed dead.

Its Lantern Ring has been inherited by John Kent, a Krypton orphan who was stranded on Earth and raised by the native civilization.

The energy characterization of this individual breaks through the conventional Spectrum limits, exhibiting a deep green + yellow chimera state, with the Spectrum core shifted towards blue.

second:

This individual possesses the ability to suppress a standard legion commander through both willpower and strength.

Furthermore, the underlying code of Abin Suden Lantern Ring has been reverse-written, rendering the Central Power Battery Level 1 Recall Procedure completely ineffective.

The ring has formed an independent closed loop, and it appears to have broken free from the energy charging limitations of the lamp furnace.

third:

It is recommended that the Supreme Guardians Council immediately initiate a comprehensive risk assessment and raise its level to 'Legion'.

After the Burning was completed, Sinestro compressed the beacon into a thumb-sized green crystal using his will.

Then, the green light at his fingertips shone again, adding a line of text in neat Korugar ancient script:

Additional suggestions:

Given that the actual subjugation of will by fear may have been proven.

Could the Guardians consider breaking away from the singularity of the Spectrum and developing devices whose primary energy source is fear of yellow?

Having done all this, Sinestro bound the node to the beacon and launched the crystal into the void.

The next second, the blinding green streak tore through the force field and, following the shift of the node, went straight for the Oa.

Sinestro chose to lean against the ice wall and wait for a reply.

In the darkness, time seems to lose its measure.

Until the end of the seventh planet's rotation cycle, a faint ring of dark green ripples suddenly appeared in the extremely dark void.

Then, the ripples spread further and further until they formed an arrow condensed from pure green will energy.

Beyond the arrow was a large, dark green gate.

That was a directional teleportation coordinate from the Oa.

Sinestro didn't receive a written reply, but instead received a more decisive gift: an opened hyperspace portal.

Behind the arrow, the ever-burning emerald light of Oa faintly shone through the door.

"Call..."

Sinestro let out a long breath, straightened his uniform collar, let the ring hang at his side, and stepped into the portal of light.

Oa.

The entire planet has no naturally formed mountains or rivers.

The earth's surface is paved with hundreds of millions of emerald geometric shapes.

The anti-gravity stacks, like towering peaks piercing the sky from a deep forest, are connected by pure light trails.

The sky was still a deep emerald green.

The Supreme Council Hall floats at the highest point on the planet, with twelve "Chiefs" seated behind twelve circular tables.

They were short in stature, with hoods hanging low on their heads.

His skin had a bluish-gray tinge, like withered berries, and his wide white robe trailed on the ground.

Over the long years, they personally stripped away their emotions through sealing and rituals.

In their view, emotions are a pollutant to civilization and a detriment to procreation.

Therefore, when facing colleagues who still have feelings for them.

They will forcibly remove the corresponding brain regions from Him to prevent the development of emotions and distorted judgment.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the parliament hall was unexpectedly heavy.
