Chapter 437 - Chapter 436 : The Advancing Sinestro

Sinestro returned to this place once again. Now that he had everything he wanted, all that remained was to find a way to let the scattered Power Ring wielders know that a Supreme Power Ring was on Korugar.

Although he already had the Supreme Power Ring in hand, Sinestro still felt insecure because he understood these Power Rings too well. Revealing the existence of the Supreme Power Ring would only attract those with strong ambitions who were willing to take risks for it.

But there was also a group of people who had no interest in stronger power and authority, only wanting to lord over their own small domains. Even if news of the Supreme Power Ring's emergence appeared, they might not come to contend for this ring.

These types of Power Rings only wanted to survive until the end of the World, dying at home on the Planet they ruled.

Although it sounded harmless, one couldn't conclude that these people were always harmless. Once Korugar was destroyed, it was hard to guarantee that these timid individuals wouldn't seize the opportunity to stir up trouble.

Sinestro heard that there were also some Power Rings who liked to perform "miracles" on primitive Planets, making the natives believe in them and worship them as gods.

Then, when the natives firmly believed in this, they would suddenly disappear, enjoying the benefits they brought without wanting to fulfill their responsibilities.

When faith weakened, they would suddenly reappear to display "miracles," and then disappear again, acting like a manipulative scumbag.

After several such back-and-forths, over time, a unique belief system would form on this Planet, and devout believers would rack their brains to come up with various excuses for the "god's" actions, rationalizing them with all sorts of reasons.

When faced with unexplainable problems, they would even use phrases like "Do not test your God" to silence dissent.

Power Rings didn't need the power of faith, but the fervent belief of fanatics would give these Power Rings a golden aura. Even without divinity, they effectively controlled the thoughts and will of that civilization.

At this stage, a monotheistic religion, single-handedly supported by a Power Ring, would be established from scratch, and these Worlds would thus essentially lose their potential for civilizational advancement.

And the Power Ring could then take on various identities such as "prophet" or "holy messenger" on these Planets to interfere with the direction of civilization's progress, artificially guiding the civilizational process, transforming a civilization into what they desired.

It was like playing a real-life historical strategy game.

If these were the 05 types of Power Rings, they might not be moved at all by the emergence of the Supreme Power Ring, because Power Rings playing simulation games didn't need stronger power. Power Rings don't always incite the user's desire for power; there are also those who are content with the status quo.

But Sinestro didn't want to let them go, even if they seemed less aggressive now.

He thought carefully that if he wanted to attract such people to Korugar, he would have to use a more drastic method, forcing them to return to Korugar, leaving them with no choice.

So what could he do to make them return to Korugar at all costs?

After much deliberation, Sinestro came up with an idea: for the Power Ring wielders, what was the most important thing on Korugar?

Of course, it was the Lantern Furnace. That was the source of their "divine power." Without it, they were a bunch of losers. All their talk of "gods" and "divine power" would be exposed as fraudulent.

So, as long as the Lantern Furnace could be destroyed, those scattered Power Rings would be in chaos, and they would certainly need to return to Korugar to address this issue.

But even Sinestro would find it difficult to deal with the numerous Power Rings alone, unless... He looked down at the Power Ring in his hand, and a faint whisper came to his ears again.

"Accept me, accept me, I can bestow upon you the strongest power..."

"The strongest power..." Sinestro muttered to himself, "Strong enough to kill all the Power Rings?"

"I am the Supreme Power Ring!"

Sinestro didn't fully trust it, but he indeed needed the power of the Supreme Power Ring to increase the chances of success for this plan.

He looked at the yellow Power Ring on his hand: "I trust you, old friend, but you know how important this is to me."

But Sinestro did not take off the yellow ring; instead, he put the Supreme Power Ring on a finger of his other hand.

Instantly, a green energy flow invaded Sinestro's entire body, and the yellow energy retreated steadily. Before long, the yellow Power Ring became dim, while the green light of the Supreme Power Ring shone as brightly as a green Sun!

"Ah~ This captivating power~" Sinestro's expression changed dramatically, his face becoming wickedly imposing.

He gazed into the distance at Korugar: "This will be the first World I conquer!"

With that, he transformed into a green meteor and flew towards Korugar with incredible speed.

The Power Ring Corps guards discovered him and tried to intercept him, but they were directly cut in half by Sinestro's energy beam!

The Power Ring detached from the dead Power Ring wielder's finger and was about to fly away in a flash, but Sinestro used the Supreme Power Ring to fix the ring in place, then fired a green beam to destroy it.

"Enemy attack!"

The remaining Power Ring wielders sent an alarm to Korugar, then turned and fled without hesitation, actually running away from Korugar!

As for resistance? Are you kidding me?!

Did they look like those warriors who embraced Death?

It was already considerate enough that they gave a warning before running!

However, how could Sinestro allow them to escape?

He laughed and manifested a giant monster found only on Korugar, catching and biting to Death those who tried to escape on the spot!

The Power Ring is different from the Green Lantern ring; it is usually used to manifest living creatures, theoretically any creature, even intelligent beings!

As long as there was enough energy, it could even manifest Kryptonians, replicating their power!

But Sinestro did not do that. The hatred of his destroyed homeworld and murdered relatives still echoed in his chest; even the control of the Supreme Power Ring could not erase it.

He wanted to use creatures from Korugar to slaughter these arrogant wretches. Although Korugar had achieved technological modernization and developed to a relatively high degree before its destruction.

But at that time, many large animals and Plants still lived on this Planet. Sinestro kept all these creatures firmly in his mind, and now, under the Power Ring's power, they were vividly manifested.

Under the power of the Supreme Power Ring, a green army of creatures suddenly appeared in the Universe.

Sinestro used them to attack those Power Rings who were trying to escape and those who came to support, turning the battlefield into a one-sided Carnage.

Power Rings are not like Green Lanterns; they haven't experienced many tough battles. For most of the time, they have been using the Power Ring's power to bully indigenous residents who can't even fly.

And because of the reasons mentioned before, interstellar civilizations are very rare throughout the Universe, which also made it easier for those who possessed a bit of special power to commit evil deeds.

Therefore, when facing ruthless individuals, Power Rings actually lacked a bit of one-on-one courage and were extremely bad at fighting from a disadvantageous position.
