Chapter 161: So Much Charity!? I'm Blushing V
...........
His muscles tightened, brimming with such a force they threatened to break space around them. He switched from the Rose of magic to that of Kryptonian energy, Platinium energy, his newest find.
He can also keep control of the trident with the Kryptonian force, but it's controlled by strength alone while he can influence the Trident with his magic.
However, the Trident seemed to have heard him as it calmed down, allowing him to accumulate every bit of force he can.
Then he released it, or he threw the Trident with such force... The combination of lightning speed and Kryptonian force was unimaginable.
The Trident went straight to its target though it didn't fail to destroy all that it miles around it.
The most interesting thing was that its target was at the very heart of the planet Oa, and Ian was in outer space meaning the Trident had to force itself through one of the strongest planets in the universe.
Whatever was in its way was devastated, in fact, the Trident left nothing behind, creating a gap through the planet as it exited through the other way, and all it took was an instant.
As for its target? The agent of Avarice. The only true holder of an orange ring Larfleeze was left floating in the very middle of the planet, seemingly in shock.
How could he not? The light of greed is one of the strongest energies in the emotional spectrum, yet a shield constructed by the entity of greed itself to protect him was treated like air.
The Trident simply passed through him with barely any decrease in momentum, leaving him with half a body.
Indeed, what was left of Larfleeze was merely his upper body, so he wasn't supposed to stay alive anymore, yet he did.
Ophidian interfered, yet even with the entity of greed's interference, Larfleeze was still left in such a state.
He was however alive as a cluster of orange energy slowly formed into his lower body parts. Just a construct of energy that actually kept him alive, ignoring common sense.
A shrill hiss followed directly after as an orange snake manifested around Larfleeze, its narrow eyes staring at Ian directly through the newly created gap.
It took but an instant for an overwhelming brilliance to shine through the center of the planet, blinding almost everyone.
Some however saw something. They saw Ophidian running away. Well, it was more like Ophidian taking away Larfleeze from the battle, saving his life.
Ophidian, on the other hand, is almost impossible to kill if not downright impossible. It's after all the greed in everyone. it will exist as long as we do.
"Why?" Ian wondered with confusion. He knows exactly just how strong the entities of the emotional spectrum are, so powerful they'd definitely be able to defeat him if they work together.
Well, not all of them are required. Just the entity of rage, greed and fear will be capable of almost killing him. Who knows, even killing him if common sense allowed that.
Still, Ian acted quickly. He completely ignored Ophidian because the thing was escaping at light speed, beyond it even, so he had no way to catch up, but there was something else he could catch up to.
You see, Trident of Neptune wasn't so behaved. It listened to Ian at first and remained calm, but the moment it exited from the other side of the planet, it continued on its way, using all of that momentum to escape.
It's quite the naughty thing... As Ian expected, so he left something on it, a grand magical spell he constructed for many purposes.
The spell allowed for him to appear instantaneously right next to the Trident. It all comes back to the black Rose rings, a medium to his dimension which in turn allows movement through each ring.
It's just like how he can move directly to the earth despite being numerous light years away. All that is required is to go into his dimension through the rings on his person and exit through the rings on earth.
That's exactly what he just did. He went into his dimension through the ring on his staff and exited through a ring he left on the Trident.
This is where the spell came into play as it blinded the Trident from even sensing the ring, quite the impressive achievement considering how magical the Trident is.
It's a countermeasure he started working on after his battle against Etrigan. The demon was always able to sense where his ring was and sought to destroy it, a weakness Ian couldn't allow.
He took hold of the Trident in almost an instant, much to the artifact's dismay. In fact, Ian could swear he heard it crying, but he was busy, so he heard nothing.
'He escaped... How did it know of my goal? Or was it just scared?' Ian wondered while stroking his chin. He only dwelled on those thoughts for a second before he had to turn around.
"Who are you? I'm curious." Before him was Sinestro. The founder of the yellow lantern corps. Formerly a green lantern.
"Ian Rose, I'm from the earth. By the way, we're quite welcoming there, so free to visit anytime you want to do whatever you want." Ian smiled, showing a never seen before levels of kindness.
"Oh, Sector 2814 like Hal Jordan." Sinestro nodded, not seeming afraid at all despite what Ian had just done, "Earth seems like a breeding ground for trouble from all that I've seen before, so I'll take you up on that offer."
"Perfect. I'm also curious about something," Ian smiled as he sized Sinestro up, "Is Parallax within you at the moment?"
Strangely, Sinestro smiled as if he had expected that question, "Yes. In fact, he wants to give you a gift. Will you accept it?"
He illuded not to what kind of gift he was talking about, but this is Ian we're talking about, so his answer was obvious, "Gladly."
He had never refused a gift before, and he will never start. Refusing a gift in his mind is almost as bad as refusing charity, the greatest of sins.
Sinestro opened his mouth wide, glowing with a yellow brilliance. It soon became so wide it was horrific. His purpose soon became obvious as from within him, a head crawled out, a large abominable bald head.
Parallax didn't speak, but simply unleashed a torrent of yellow energy at Ian, so much energy it overwhelmed the space around them.
It seemed to change the laws of physics as sound suddenly existed in space without the need for magic or energy. They could clearly hear space cracking around them.
Ion, the entity of will released a steady and peaceful stream of energy at Ian until he fully assimilated it, but Parallax was different. His energy was overwhelming and dreadful.
Most of it was getting sucked into Ian's staff, but the rest was orbiting around Ian, slowly coming in contact with him.
The entity of fear's goal was obviously sinister, and if the staff of all things' devouring capabilities wasn't so overwhelming, Ian was sure every speck of yellow energy would've tried to take over him.
Nah, Parallax was actually trying to take over Ian because it knows more than the other entities about him.
How could it not? Parallax was jailed in the central power battery of green lanterns for a very long time by the guardians. The only reason it's free at the moment is because of Ian.
Hell, Parallax saw it happen. He saw how one contaminated lantern was able to shut off the entirety of the green lanterns. The central power battery even which meant regaining his freedom.
Parallax wanted him. he deeply desired Ian in a very pure way. Unfortunately, things didn't go quite as planned because he felt not a speck of fear in Ian. Not a trace, not now, no ever.
"Ahh, so fucking tasty and easy. Can the universe even be more kind to me?" Ian, on the other hand, was almost on the verge of orgasming with how much love he was getting from the universe. He was actually blushing...
