Hal Jordan was still trying. "As long as you join us, you will be the leader of the Green Lantern Corps."
Aaron said with a half-smile, "The Guardians of the Universe will also listen to me?"
Hal Jordan's words froze. "No, buddy, how do you even know about The Guardians of the Universe?"
"This... this really won't do!"
Hal Jordan really couldn't make that decision.
He stammered, "The Guardians of the Universe are gods among ancient species. They single-handedly created Oa and the Green Lantern Corps, they are the decision-makers of the Green Lantern Corps, providing us with endless information and wisdom."
Aaron interrupted him, "I don't think a group of cowards can possess any wisdom."
He pointedly said, "Even the strongest pride of lions, if led by weak sheep, will never defeat a flock of sheep led by a lion."
"The Green Lantern Corps succeeded because of The Guardians of the Universe, and it will fail because of The Guardians of the Universe. When you harbor fear and retreat, you are no longer recognized by will."
"Hal Jordan, do not try to invite me to join you again. That is an insult to me."
Hal Jordan was silent, not daring to speak.
He really wanted to object, but upon careful thought, he felt that Aaron's words actually made sense.
The Guardians of the Universe were indeed capable of fear, and their fear could even affect the Green Lantern Corps, causing this once invincible corps to repeatedly lose battles.
They were fine fighting alone, but once it involved multiple people, they would often lose miserably.
They were a pile of shit when gathered, and scattered stars when dispersed. That's what it meant.
Aaron originally intended to open a portal and leave,
But before leaving, he suddenly spoke, "Oh, by the way, Hal Jordan, do you know about other rings besides the green lantern ring?"
Hal Jordan was stunned. "Are you talking about... yellow lantern rings?"
Aaron nodded. "And Red Lanterns, Purple Lanterns, Orange Lanterns..."
Hal Jordan scratched his head, hesitating, "I've heard about other power rings from other people, but I haven't seen any trace of their activity for a long time. Only the Yellow Lanterns, we just defeated the Yellow Lantern Corps Parallax not long ago."
"Oh, right, and Sinestro, the previous leader of the Green Lantern Corps. After he left the Corps, he put on a yellow lantern ring, and no one knows where he is now."
Aaron frowned slightly, could he only harvest the power of fear?
Aaron was unsure whether a complete set of seven power rings existed in this universe. After all, the settings of different parallel universes also varied. Perhaps the power of other emotional spectrums had not visited this universe.
But Yellow Lanterns...
'Forget it, I'll get it first.' Aaron thought, his eyes glowing golden.
He obtained Sinestro's aura from Hal Jordan, and combined with his own power of fear, he used the All-Seeing Eye to search for the yellow lantern ring, like a grain of sand in the boundless universe. His gaze was so sharp that in just a few tens of seconds, he found the Yellow Lantern Corps led by Sinestro.
"Found it."
Aaron smiled, and with Raven and Sara, he crossed countless light-years to a distant alien planet.
Hal Jordan was slow to react. "What did he find? Sinestro? How is that possible?"
"The universe is so vast, how could he find such a tiny person so quickly?"
Clark's expression was solemn. "It's his eyes."
Bruce's face was incredibly grave, and he whispered, "Alfred, I need all the information on that man and the people around him today. Plus these few guys."
This day completely overturned Bruce's perception of this world.
He hadn't expected that, besides the Justice League and those villains, there were actually outliers like Aaron and Raven.
If he harbored ill will towards Earth... he couldn't imagine who could stop him.
Would they perhaps offer women to him?
At the same time.
On a barren planet in the vast universe.
Sinestro was with a few subordinates he had gathered, contemplating how to expand the Yellow Lantern Corps' scale.
Since the battle with Parallax, this former greatest Green Lantern had betrayed will for power, embracing the Yellow Lanterns.
Because the Yellow Lanterns were severely lacking in talent, after he defected, he immediately gained the Yellow Lantern's favor, granting him immense power. This made Sinestro believe his choice was incredibly correct.
Compared to the Yellow Lanterns, the green lanterns were simply too low.
How could will be stronger than fear?
Sinestro believed that after he obtained the yellow lantern ring, he would no longer fear anyone. He would become the strongest Yellow Lantern, surpassing Parallax.
However, today, Sinestro once again encountered trouble.
He looked at the man and two women who had suddenly appeared before him, his brows tightly furrowed.
"Who are you?"
"Who I am isn't important. Give me your ring."
Aaron gestured, once again forcibly taking the power ring from Sinestro's finger.
This greatly alarmed Sinestro.
Damn it! When!
Aaron snatched the power ring and instantly devoured it.
[Fragment of Fear (Phobos's Power + Fear Control + Yellow lantern ring): You have mastered the power of fear, capable of distorting reality with it, and can absorb the fear of all beings to strengthen yourself. Your power can trigger the deepest fears in the hearts of humans and gods, thereby weakening the target's strength.]
As expected, it's on the same level as Willpower.
Although its upper limit isn't as high as Willpower, it combines attack and a weakening aura.
It's not as subjective as Willpower, but it excels in stability.
Under normal circumstances, Fear is stronger than Willpower.
But for Aaron, Willpower far surpasses Fear.
Unless he creates fear without reservation throughout the infinite Multiverse and continuously absorbs the power of fear.
However...
Aaron suddenly thought of something.
Although he couldn't yet create fear without reservation in the real Multiverse, there was one place where there were no obstacles.
That was the cellular Multiverse within him!
Aaron had, up to this point, mastered the rules and powers of Soul, Time, Space, Mind, an incomplete Omniverse, Genesis, God's Power, Death, and so on.
He could very well use his mastery of rules, as well as the Primordial Furnace, to create life within the cellular universe.
Aaron felt that he still possessed humanity and wouldn't stoop to creating countless billions of humans, keeping them in eternal fear to strengthen himself.
But...
He might not create humans, but he could create demons.
Worst case, he could replicate those utterly evil demons.
Perfect!
Trillions of cellular universes were divided into normal Universes and dimensions.
Such as the Dark Dimension, the Purple Dimension, the Limbo Dimension, and so on.
He would create those inherently evil demons, making them fear-generating machines to provide him with the power of fear.
With this thought, Aaron suddenly felt enlightened.
Exploiting humans would bring guilt, but exploiting utterly evil demons wasn't a crime—it was an act of justice.
He could even specifically create some criminal universes.
Sending all those utterly evil criminals into them, then continuously inflicting fear, making them shine and contribute for Aaron, and at the same time atoning for their wicked past.
Aaron immediately began to target Raven's extradimensional demons. To be precise, the demons who had previously inflicted violence in Metropolis.
Therefore, Aaron communicated directly with Raven through a psychic link.
The latter nodded, and under Aaron's guidance, connected the extradimensional portal to the cellular Limbo Dimension within Aaron's body, sending all those previous demons in.
Of course, there were other equally evil demons. This group of demons originally thought they were going to obey the new demon king's orders to conquer a new world.
Each of them howled as they rushed out of the portal, wanting to perform well in front of their new master.
However, when they arrived in the unfamiliar Limbo Dimension, each of them was extremely confused.
Then, a boundless power of fear descended from the dark sky.
These bloodthirsty and brutal demons instantly became trembling stray dogs, each collapsing to the ground, dominated by fear, dominated by nightmares, continuously providing fuel for Aaron.
The same scene was simultaneously taking place in numerous dimensions.
Aaron, wielding [Lord of Myriad Dimensions], possessed the rules and characteristics of thousands of large and small dimensions in the Marvel world, and simultaneously replicated them into these universes.
Or he created those demons imprinted with the aura of dimensional power.
These demons were also enveloped by fear,
Then this portion of the power of Fear transformed into Aaron's power. His control over fear deepened even more, becoming more than ten times stronger than when he first acquired Fear.
"I'm truly a genius."
"Looking across the infinite Multiverse, who else is more righteous than me?" Aaron was very satisfied.
This was truly a demon slayer in every sense of the word.
Meanwhile, outside.
After Sinestro's yellow lantern ring was snatched away, feeling insecure, he immediately snatched a power ring from a nearby teammate and put it on. The familiar power of Fear surged into his body, and he immediately felt safe.
With his power returned, he was back in action.
"You three guys, what exactly... Hiss! You... who exactly are you?"
Suddenly, Sinestro sensed an ever-expanding power of fear emanating from Aaron.
What an exaggerated power of fear it was!
Just standing in front of Aaron, he felt how insignificant he was.
Fear involuntarily arose in his heart, and then was absorbed by Aaron.
Although both were masters of fear, Sinestro in front of Aaron was like a small boat in a vast ocean, about to capsize at any moment.
No, impossible!
Why was there such a terrifying existence in the world?
Even Parallax back then was not one-ten-thousandth of Aaron.
Sinestro's teeth chattered, and the other Yellow Lantern members were even worse, all of them kneeling down, as if prostrating before a great Lord of Fear, a King of Fear.
At the same time.
Because the fear born in their hearts was absorbed by Aaron, the yellow lantern rings, which were not nourished by fear, sensed the continuous power of Fear emanating from Aaron, and voluntarily detached from the Yellow Lantern members, circling around Aaron.
Including Sinestro's.
The same scene occurred again,
But Sinestro was even more pathetic than Hal Jordan. His mind and body were washed over by fear, his spirit was shattered, and he had completely become the embodiment of fear.
In front of Aaron, Hal Jordan could at least still speak normally.
But Sinestro couldn't utter a single word, he couldn't harbor any other thoughts towards Aaron.
It seemed even just lifting his eyelids to look was as heavy as a thousand pounds, utterly impossible.
Aaron did not answer Sinestro's question. He didn't even notice these guys, they were just tools for providing yellow lantern rings.
Silently, Aaron completed the enhancement of his power of fear. After fear had been elevated to a certain degree, he temporarily stopped its advancement.
This power had been strengthened by him to a Super-Cosmic level of existence.
If he continued to improve, he would truly become an avatar of Fear, the source of DC's Fear, surpassing the Fear Lantern beast Parallax but that would require too great a price.
Even if he desperately squeezed all the demons in his cellular universe, it wouldn't be enough.
The cellular universes were still too few and only about one-third of the universes were used to generate fear.
To elevate it to an Omniversal level was currently impossible.
Moreover, "Source of Fear" sounds like a villain.
Even if it were to be elevated, it would be the weakest Omniversal deity.
He had better options. For now, it was better to keep Fear and Willpower in balance.
He had an idea.
First, collect the power of the Emotional Spectrum, and then fuse it with the Phoenix Force.
If all of them were Super-Cosmic or even Omniversal, how much stronger would they be after fusion?
Just thinking about it was exciting.
Aaron then left with Raven and Sara.
It wasn't until they had been gone for a long time that Sinestro and the others, drenched in sweat, recovered.
"The Origin of Fear! He must be the Origin of Fear!" Someone shrieked and shouted.
Sinestro's heart sank.
The Origin of Fear? Yes, if Fear truly had an origin, it would definitely be him.
The great Origin of Fear!
