At this moment, Atrocitus, who was hiding near a shattered star in the distance, suddenly heard Shen Mu mention him, and his heart was startled.
Everything that had happened in this short period had completely overturned his understanding of this World.
Before this, he had been preparing for revenge, thinking that he had obtained the Power of Destruction of the Red Lantern, and with Oa being plagued by internal and external troubles, he could seize the opportunity to avenge his dead relatives, friends, and the innocent lives in Sector 666.
However, he didn't expect to run into Sinestro, who was also looking for trouble, as soon as he arrived at Oa.
Then, that blue-skinned guy came out to mediate, but he didn't expect an even more terrifying guy to appear immediately.
The strength of Parallax and Huo Rong seemed insurmountable to him, and just when he thought his life might be coming to an end, Shen Mu's appearance made his heart unable to calm down.
With a casual strike, he defeated Parallax, and the Oa he hated was completely destroyed by the aftershock of that strike, forcing Huo Rong to swallow his pride and beg for mercy.
He had already made up his mind: if things ended this way, he would leave and then search the Universe for others who, like him, carried hatred, to rebuild the Red Lantern Corps.
However, what he didn't expect was the appearance of the Spectre, who swiftly eliminated Huo Rong and was now attacking Shen Mu.
Originally, this had nothing to do with him; he only needed to leave quietly when no one was paying attention, but at this moment, Shen Mu mentioned him, the Red Lantern Lord, to provoke the Spectre.
To his dismay, the Spectre actually glanced in his direction during the great battle, and the anger in his eyes made even him, a Red Lantern whose energy was anger, feel a chill.
After all, the Spectre represents the Wrath of God, a much higher rank than the mere anger of ordinary beings!
Hearing Shen Mu say he should wear a Lantern Ring at this moment, the Spectre's rage burned to its extreme.
He had been at a disadvantage from the very beginning in his fight with Shen Mu, and after Shen Mu got a little serious, he was constantly being beaten, unable to even find a chance to fight back.
Now, to be told to wear something like a Red Lantern Ring, for him, the dignified Wrath of God, was undoubtedly a blatant slap in the face in front of countless Gods.
"You will pay for that remark!"
The Spectre roared, and endless light erupted from his body, his Judgment Power growing stronger again.
However, this time, Shen Mu didn't even dodge, instead, he spread his arms and allowed the Judgment Power to directly hit him.
The dazzling light instantly swallowed Shen Mu's figure.
"This, could it be that the Kryptonian God wants to evolve immunity to the Spectre's judgment by relying on Doomsday's characteristics?"
"How mad, but I'm looking forward to seeing if the Spectre will fail this time."
When they saw Shen Mu willingly take on the Spectre's Judgment Power, countless Gods watching the judgment couldn't help but exclaim.
"You're dead! No one, no God, can remain unharmed under my Judgment Power; as long as there is sin on you, my Judgment Power is invincible."
"I know you have integrated the power of the Doomsday system, but even if your body can be immortal, your soul will be exiled, forever wandering on the edge of sin and redemption."
Seeing Shen Mu being so overconfident, the Spectre finally vented all his previous frustrations.
At the same time, all lives affected by this light of judgment, as long as they had sin on them, fell into endless repentance.
Time slowly passed, the light emanating from the Judgment Power gathered on Shen Mu still shone, and the Spectre thought he had once again upheld justice.
However, just as a victorious smile appeared on his face, a muffled sound, like a heartbeat, suddenly entered his ears.
The next moment, with a bang, ink-like blackness began to rapidly devour the light emanating from the Judgment Power, quickly dyeing the surrounding Universe void into an abyss without a trace of light.
Shen Mu's figure emerged from the spreading blackness.
"See, you fool, before you try to carry out your boring judgment, first figure out who you're dealing with. Your anger is nothing but a joke in front of me. Now, be a good boy and go back to being your little justice baby!"
After all the darkness retracted into Shen Mu's body, the unharmed Shen Mu continued to verbally assault the Spectre.
"This is impossible, this is impossible!"
The Spectre widened his eyes and roared at Shen Mu.
"Why is there such an illogical existence as you? You clearly carry endless sins, so why doesn't my judgment work on you? Not even Doomsday could do that."
This was the Spectre's first failure since his birth, and all the pride he had built over countless years was completely shattered at this moment.
He roared and once again launched an attack with his Judgment Power at Shen Mu.
However, when the light of judgment fell on Shen Mu again, it was directly shattered into countless specks of light.
Shen Mu merely patted his chest lightly, as if dusting himself off.
"Sorry, as you can see, your Judgment Power has no effect on me anymore!"
"In your eyes, I carry endless sins, but I never believe that anything I do is against my conscience. My soul remains as clear as ever. All the lives that died because of me and the Worlds that were destroyed, that is merely the sin of weakness!"
The Spectre's Judgment Power, to put it simply, is very subjective, because the meaning of the word 'sin' that maintains the Judgment Power is very vague.
The simplest example is killing one person to save ten thousand; is this merit or sin? Of course, it's both, and at this point, the crux of the judgment falls on the judged.
Because the Judgment Power wielded by the Spectre is like a pre-programmed system; when it detects that the judged believes they have indeed committed a sin, it signifies the execution of justice. But if the judged does not believe they are guilty, the program falls into a bug and cannot execute the judgment.
"Alright, I've talked enough with you; it's time to send you back to God!"
Pitch-black Destruction Rays condensed in Shen Mu's eyes.
Then, without any obstruction, they struck the Spectre. Of course, Shen Mu didn't expect this to completely erase the Spectre.
Unless one can become an existence like Death of the Endless Family, even Lucifer can only erase the host possessed by the Spectre, not the Spectre himself.
However, this was enough, because compared to killing him, completely dismantling all the confidence and pride he had built up over time was the greatest blow to such an immortal being.
Soon, the host possessed by the Spectre was annihilated, leaving only his original spirit form.
However, even so, he still yelled at Shen Mu: "You can't kill me! One day, I will find a way to judge you."
"Oh really? That reminds me. I was going to let you go to God like this, but now I've decided to seal you by my side, so you can clearly realize that without a host, you can't do anything."
After speaking, in the dumbfounded gaze of the Spectre, Shen Mu used the Power of Destruction to create a cage and sealed him within it.
