Chapter 168: Sneaky Sinestro

Thaal Sinestro is a Korugarian from Sector 1417 of the universe, with red skin and a pair of long, thin mustaches below his nose, giving him the generic deceitful and merchant-like appearance.

Presumably, he will become the main antagonist of the Green Lantern Hal due to his violation of the Corps' rules, leading to his exile and becoming the Corps' archenemy. Sinestro wields the power of fear within the emotional spectrum, forming the SInestro Corps.

All of this stemmed from his misuse of the authority to maintain order within his sector, leading to the enslavement of his planet, which the Green Lantern Corps discovered.

Currently, he still operates as a Green Lantern, responding to Hal's call for help in the solar system.

Sinestro doesn't wish to remain on the two continents of Mars to appease the remaining Martians. Instead, he takes on the task of hunting down the enemy and starts concealing his presence while searching in outer space.

The Green Lantern Ring possesses various unique search systems. When searching for life forms, it doesn't rely on the emissions of various pheromones or heat magnetic fields.

This is because in the universe, various strange and diverse life forms emit different kinds of information and some have no heat or weak magnetic fields. They inherently possess multiple abilities that can disrupt frequency bands. On top of ordinary technological search and reconnaissance, a unique willpower search system has been developed.

Every life form possesses a soul, even those without a soul still have the lowest level of willpower.

The Green Lantern Ring's most advanced mechanism for searching beings focuses on their willpower. It can penetrate almost any protective shield and directly pinpoint the location of a being's essence.

It's even challenging for magic to defend against.

The only drawback is that this search system is initiated by a Green Lantern wielding the Green Lantern Ring. The range of detection varies depending on the individual willpower of the Green Lantern.

Sinestro, concealed, noticed the radar-like search display in front of him showing no response. He headed towards the direction of the Moon.

Suddenly,

The Green Lantern Ring emitted a warning.

Sinestro snapped to attention and flew towards the Moon. Red dots representing individual life forms appeared on the radar in front of him.

"There are life forms on the far side of the Moon! At least more than five million. They're densely packed."

Sinestro glanced away from the Green Lantern radar towards the Moon. However, instead of seeing the pockmarked craters on the lunar surface, he saw the 'S' symbol on the chest of a black combat suit suddenly appear and move upward. His gaze followed the neck and witnessed H'el's veins bulging around his eyes.

H'el reached out his hand, aiming for Sinestro's face, and a colossal and unparalleled force burst forth from his fingertips, shattering the Green Lantern Ring's protective shield. He pressed firmly against Sinestro's temple, overwhelming him with his mind's power that surpassed his reactionary thoughts, penetrating deep into his mind, taking complete control.

Sinestro, concealed, fell into unconsciousness, controlled by H'el's mental power and unable to control the Green Lantern Ring, about to materialize in space.

In the next moment, H'el replaced his concealment with a biological magnetic field.

In this section of space, there was a slight distortion in the airwaves before it returned to normal.

H'el concealed himself and Sinestro in space. His other hand reached for Sinestro's Green Lantern Ring, depriving him of the ring.

The AllSpark stored within H'el's body ignited and began rotating within him. Controlling this, H'el constructed a transmission channel using a biological magnetic field. The energy of the AllSpark traversed the bloodstream channels in his body, emitting lightning-like arcs of transformed Spark information from his fingertips and transmitting them into the Green Lantern Ring.

The Green Lantern Ring started trembling, on the verge of shattering, unable to fully transform. The Green Lantern Ring wasn't purely technological; it was a unique willpower technology deeply intertwined with psychic abilities.

H'el squinted his eyes, blending the powerful psychic force with the transformed information of the AllSpark, both infiltrating the Green Lantern Ring. This action nullified Sinestro's willpower response, using his own psychic force to simulate and construct the information of the willpower technology.

The Green Lantern Ring began clicking and transformed into a green, thumb-sized mechanical entity. Its pupils flickered with a green light, and the chest was marked with the symbol of infinity.

"Tiny Green, at your service, Your Majesty," the mechanical entity of the Green Lantern Ring half-knelt on H'el's hand. It's voice resembling an echoish robotic voice, much like a certain alien from another universe where the protagonist is a kid with a watch.

H'el nodded.

"Can you freely control all the functions of the Green Lantern Ring yourself?" H'el inquired.

"Yes, Your Majesty. But to unleash the full power of the Green Lantern Ring, the will of the wielder is essential. The stronger the will, the more the power of the Green Lantern Ring can be realized. Because of my presence, the wielder can more easily fulfill the requirements than an average Green Lantern."

In other words, the bearer of Tiny Green would find it easier to imagine energy objects due to his assistance.

Suddenly, a communication came through.

"Sinestro, what's happening? Please report! You've severed the connection to the Green Lantern. Respond! Respond!" The voice of Green Lantern Hal echoed from within Little Green's body.

Tiny Green accessed Sinestro's recorded information and replied in his tone: "Hal, I've been a Green Lantern longer than you. I'm here to help, not to be under your command. Don't speak to me in a commanding tone."

"I just paused for a moment, admiring your planet."

"It's alright, sorry, Sinestro, I've been a bit tense," apologized Hal in return.

"Uh-huh," Tiny Green mimicked Sinestro's tone with a brief response before falling silent.

H'el paid them no heed and began using his psychic power to search through all of Sinestro's information.

Every memory, experience, behavior, and fleeting thought bursts of Sinestro were captured by H'el.

After finishing, a slight glint appeared in H'el's eyes.

Two cosmic guardians had arrived in the solar system, bearing eight million soldiers and possessing eight million temporary Green Lantern Rings.

Eight million Green Lanterns...

From Sinestro's memories, H'el learned that the two cosmic guardians had gone to Olympus to invite Gods to confront him.

H'el pondered, looking at Sinestro's before him.

Sinestro wasn't someone content with being under others. He had initiated dictatorship on his home planet, enslaved it, and his ambitions were swelling. He refused to be under the control of cosmic guardians, constantly eyeing Oa, seeking more power and influence.

"As for you, Tiny Green, go back and assist him."
