Once the number of Power Rings exceeded three, they would start to hinder each other, each trying to use those around them as shields or bait.
Just like a basket of crabs that can never climb out.
And once their number exceeded five, they were just a disorganized mob. In front of Sinestro, whose power had surged, they had no room to fight back at all.
Sinestro quickly killed every Power Ring wielder he saw. At this point, more Power Rings began to fly out of Korugar. They came in a dense swarm, like a green cloud.
Although they were a disorganized mob, when their numbers reached this level, Sinestro still had to avoid their immediate charge.
Some older Power Rings saw Sinestro and immediately shouted: "Sinestro!"
At his shout, many newly appointed Power Rings immediately felt their hearts pound.
Sinestro's deeds had already spread throughout Korugar. His actions of slaughtering the Little Blue People and Power Ring wielders had long been on their blacklist.
In the eyes of some newly joined Power Rings, this Korugar citizen was a legend!
Truth be told, no Power Ring wielder dared to face Sinestro alone, regardless of the Power Ring's color.
Even if the Emotional Spectrum changed from green to yellow, it only allowed Sinestro to control the ring by his own will instead of the other way around, but in terms of energy output and function, the difference between the two was not significant.
However, the power of the Emotional Spectrum is, after all, a power of emotion. The stronger the emotion, the more powerful the burst of energy.
Sinestro's hatred for the Power Ring wielders and Korugar always gave him the upper hand when facing a lone Power Ring wielder.
Coupled with the generally low willpower of Power Ring wielders, many arrogant Power Ring wielders were killed when facing Sinestro alone. This had even become an urban legend among new Power Ring wielders.
They feared Sinestro, terrified that they could be targeted and killed by him at any moment.
Therefore, even though Sinestro did not actively spread fear, many Power Rings were still "voluntarily" providing him with the power of fear.
Though better than nothing, in a one-on-one fight, it was like applying a debuff on his opponent, effectively increasing Sinestro's win rate.
It was the same now; as soon as they heard the arriving person was Sinestro, many Power Rings immediately prepared to retreat.
They hadn't yet experienced the feeling of being superior, so wouldn't it be a huge loss if they died at Sinestro's hands?
Especially after they saw the corpses of their comrades floating in space, these Power Rings were even less willing to fight Sinestro.
But what these people didn't expect was that Sinestro, upon seeing them, did not attack proactively; instead, he turned and flew towards OA Planet, seemingly with no intention of engaging them in battle.
However, when Kilowog, who was leading them, saw Sinestro's direction of advance, his face immediately changed dramatically: "No! He's heading to the Central Power Battery!"
With that, he immediately chased after Sinestro.
The others reacted immediately upon hearing this and quickly followed Kilowog. Although they feared death, they didn't want to lose their "divine power" because of it, and for that, they were willing to take certain risks.
But they were still a step too late. With the support of the Supreme Power Ring, Sinestro's speed was extremely fast, leaving his pursuers far behind.
"Who's there!"
Someone blocked his path ahead. Sinestro didn't even look, directly killing him, then flying through and shattering the Power Ring's body, incidentally destroying a Power Ring that had detached from the corpse.
During his time living on OA Planet, Sinestro had already figured out all the information about the place, so he quickly arrived at the Central Power Battery's location.
Without a word, he directly gathered energy to attack the Base of the energy room. It was connected to OA Planet's core, and if this connection was severed, the Battery would no longer be able to absorb energy.
"Stop at once!"
Kilowog arrived first. He unleashed a powerful green energy beam at Sinestro, but it was blocked by his shield.
"Be careful, Kilowog." Sinestro turned his head, revealing a sinister smile: "You don't have that much energy to replenish now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Central Power Battery suddenly erupted in a violent flash, a premonition that it was about to go out of control.
After the intense flashing, the Central Power Battery's green light, famously "eternal and indestructible," went out.
"Why would you do this!" Kilowog was furious, his massive body directly charging towards Sinestro, but Sinestro deftly dodged him.
"You're also using this energy, aren't you? What good does this do for you?"
Kilowog was about to attack again, but he was entangled by killer plants Sinestro had materialized.
"That's a truly foolish question, Kilowog." Sinestro sneered, "As long as it can destroy you all, I'll do anything. After all, I'm no longer a Power Ring, am I?"
At his words, Kilowog suddenly realized: "No! Haven't you stopped using the Power Ring for a long time?"
The Power Rings also knew about Sinestro becoming a Yellow Emotional Spectrum user, as he often clashed with the Power Rings after that and killed many of them.
But today, he was clearly using the Power Ring's power!
Moreover, Kilowog also noticed that Sinestro had two rings on his hand. One was his own former yellow Power Ring, but what was the deal with the other ring?
Power Rings cannot be stacked and used, because the essence of a Power Ring is that the ring controls the person, so the person is the ring's property, and Power Rings never share their property (slaves) with other Power Rings.
Therefore, Kilowog had never seen anyone wear two Power Rings.
Sinestro saw that he had noticed the ring and nodded with satisfaction in his heart. He had deliberately done this to expose the ring on his hand.
"Quite unbelievable, isn't it? After searching the entire Universe, I finally discovered this thing, the Supreme Power Ring!"
The Power Ring on Sinestro's hand glowed, and the killer plants entangling Kilowog suddenly grew much stronger, twisting him into their branches.
"With this ring, I don't need the Battery to get a continuous supply of energy. There are too many Power Rings, my old friend. Don't you think only one person deserves to be called a true God?"
Kilowog's body was squeezed by the plants, his muscles and bones groaning under the pressure. He couldn't help but show an expression of fear.
They didn't notice that tendrils of fear quietly seeped into Sinestro's yellow Power Ring.
"Yes, you should fear me. Destroying the Battery is just the first step, my friend."
Sinestro saw other Power Rings flying in from the horizon, rose high into the air, and looked down at Kilowog.
"Next, I will come to harvest your lives when all your divine power is exhausted. Until then, fear! Scream! Just like you did to my people in my World!"
At this point, Sinestro showed a ferocious expression.
Under his intense emotions, the plants materialized by the green light gained greater power, and Kilowog was almost strangled to death on the spot!
But he still needed this guy alive to tell others of his threat.
"Be thankful, Kilowog, you survived."
With that, Sinestro dispersed the energy enveloping Kilowog, allowing him to catch his breath.
Then Sinestro once again attacked the area around the Central Power Battery with green lasers, destroying it a second time, until he felt it was sufficient. Only then did he ascend into the sky and fly towards OA's outer space.
Kilowog was unable to stop him and could only watch him leave.
When the other Power Rings arrived, they were all dumbfounded to see the devastated Central Power Battery.
"WTF!"
"Sinestro destroyed the Battery?"
Immediately, a Power Ring went down to check. After a while, someone returned with a grim expression.
"No, it's completely destroyed. Even to build a new one would take at least three hundred years."
"But we don't have three hundred years!"
Even if they could learn to live like mortals and reduce energy consumption, the Power Rings couldn't sustain them for three hundred years.
Before they died of old age, the Power Rings would mercilessly abandon them!
