The great battle between Parallax Hal and Huo Rong had begun, and the extreme yellow of fear collided with the colorful emotional spectrum power, erupting with terrifying aftershocks.
Parallax in his complete form possessed strength comparable to the Multiversal Gods, and Huo Rong, who wielded the power of the seven emotional spectrums, was no different.
Under the bombardment of endless divine light, waves of emotional energy swept across countless living beings in the Universe, and affected by this tide of emotional energy, a series of inexplicable emotions arose in their hearts.
Fear and anger intertwined, giving rise to violence, and violence continued to breed new fear and despair.
And all of this became sustenance for Huo Rong and Parallax, making them stronger with each battle.
Gradually, the conflict between Huo Rong and Parallax was no longer limited to their original space-time.
Their figures began to shuttle through various nodes in the time of the Multiverse, and they were constantly moving upstream, as if to reach a certain extreme point in the past.
"Parallax, you damned bug, how dare you defy my will."
Huo Rong was exasperated at this moment; he never expected that the one obstructing his revenge would be the Yellow Lantern Beast, nor did he expect the opponent to possess such strength.
At this time, he still believed that Parallax was in control of Parallax's body, but he underestimated Hal's willpower.
"I am Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern's Avenger."
Therefore, when he heard Hal's reply, a hint of surprise arose in Huo Rong's heart.
He did not expect that a human could suppress Parallax, the Yellow Lantern Beast, and seize control of the body.
"Hmph! So it's a remnant of the Green Lantern, but you're not qualified to defeat me yet."
Huo Rong held nothing back this time, and the powers of various emotional spectrums began to complement each other in his hands.
This was not a simple one-plus-one-equals-two effect.
Instantly, Parallax Hal felt immense pressure.
"Human, if we continue to fight like this, we have no chance of winning; right now, there's only one way to defeat him."
Just as Hal was being beaten back by Huo Rong, Parallax in his consciousness spoke!
Now they were one; if one prospered, both prospered; if one suffered, both suffered.
Given Hal's current nature, giving up and escaping was clearly impossible; this battle would surely have a result; victory meant joy for all, defeat meant everything turning to naught.
If Hal was defeated, he did not believe that Huo Rong would kindly let him leave; perhaps endless sealing awaited him, and he had had enough of that kind of life.
"Do you still want me to hand over control of my body to you? That's impossible."
Hal thought Parallax's method was to let him take the lead, so he flatly refused!
"No, even if I control the body, there isn't much chance of winning."
Parallax directly denied it!
"Then what's the method? Hurry up and tell me!"
Hal grew impatient when he saw Parallax still beating around the bush.
"It's Oa's core, the Green Lantern Central Power Battery; as long as you take all its energy for yourself, you will be more than ten times stronger than you are now."
Parallax naturally had his own calculations; if he instructed Hal to acquire more, then when he eventually took over the body, he would also be stronger.
"But the central power battery is the absolute core of the Green Lantern Corps; if it is destroyed, the Green Lantern Corps will truly have no hope of rebuilding!"
Hal still hesitated; the Green Lantern was a spiritual anchor for him now, and he still hoped to defeat Huo Rong and rebuild the Green Lantern Corps with the Guardians.
But now, Parallax's words meant he would have to personally destroy the hope of the Green Lantern, so he began to hesitate.
However, in his moment of distraction, Huo Rong instantly found a weakness, and a seven-colored energy beam pierced through his body.
"Hmph! Is this your resolve as an Avenger? How dare you be distracted while fighting me, you truly deserve to die!"
Huo Rong felt that Hal was truly insulting him; he was clearly at a disadvantage, yet he dared to be distracted at such a critical moment. What utter contempt.
Immediately, Huo Rong's attacks became even more frenzied.
Hal resisted with extreme difficulty.
"Make a decision quickly, we don't have time. Even if you don't absorb the energy from the central power battery, after you're defeated, Huo Rong will still destroy it, kill the Guardians, annihilate all of Oa, and even affect the entire Universe, causing countless living beings to suffer."
Parallax spared no effort in describing to Hal the possible consequences of his defeat.
Finally, Hal was persuaded and made up his mind.
Once he had made a decision, Hal consciously guided Huo Rong back to their original point in time.
Meanwhile, on Oa, the Guardians watched the vanished Parallax and Huo Rong, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Indeed, letting Hal become Parallax was the correct choice; only he can stop that lunatic, Huo Rong."
"But what if Hal truly defeats Huo Rong and then loses control? What should we do?"
The crisis had not even been resolved, yet the Guardians' troublemaking hearts were already stirring again!
Just then, Sinestro had arrived on Oa with his Yellow Lantern Corps.
He looked around but could no longer see Parallax or Huo Rong.
So, he directed all his aggression towards the Guardians.
Instantly, the Guardians' expressions turned sour again!
"Sinestro, you traitor, what do you want to do?"
The Guardians shouted at Sinestro, their voices betraying their fear.
However, unfortunately, Sinestro was no longer the Green Lantern they could order around; now he was the leader of the Sinestro Corps.
"Hmph, without the protection of the Green Lantern Corps, do you still think you are the high and mighty Guardians of the Universe?"
Sinestro slowly descended from the sky with a disdainful look, once again stepping onto the place that had once brought him both glory and humiliation.
Just then, a crimson light streaked across the sky, crashing heavily before the Yellow Lanterns and the Guardians.
"Guardians, do you remember the unforgivable sins you committed in Sector 666? I have come to take my revenge!"
Atrocitus, engulfed in crimson energy, roared at the Guardians with immense, furious rage.
"This!"
The Guardians were truly panicked now; one Huo Rong had already given them a headache, and they didn't expect to turn around and find two more enemies with such deep hatred for them.
They also failed to consider how many ticking time bombs they had planted for themselves with their constant meddling over the years.
"No matter who you are, these guys are mine to deal with now."
Facing Atrocitus, Sinestro did not want to hand over the opportunity to eliminate the Guardians.
"Deal with them? I only know that today they must pay for all the lives slaughtered in Sector 666."
Atrocitus didn't care who was in front of him; he only knew that all the hatred must now be consumed by his blood-flame.
