On OA, Sinestro was increasingly corroded by the Supreme Power Ring, but he still maintained his sanity.
After this period of observation and counting, Sinestro felt that the time was ripe. Basically, all the Power Rings that could come had arrived.
Even if there were stragglers, there wouldn't be many.
The number of Power Rings is fixed. Since the first Power Ring was created, the number of Power Rings has only decreased, never increased.
No Power Ring user wanted others to share such "divine power" with them. And after the Little Blue People who knew how Power Rings were made died, the method of creating Power Rings was lost forever.
Therefore, Sinestro didn't need to identify the Power Rings; he only needed to count how many Power Rings had arrived to roughly determine if everyone was present.
"The time is ripe!"
Sinestro muttered to himself. He placed the Quantum Ontology Bomb into his Power Ring, the yellow one.
Since the Lantern Furnace had been destroyed by him, Sinestro had no way to install the bomb on that giant energy source. He had to find another way.
And just then, in the little consciousness remaining after being corroded by the Supreme Power Ring, he thought of an idea.
When he broke through OA's now thin atmosphere, all Power Ring wielders sensed the situation from outer space.
"He's here!"
Kilowog roared up at the sky!
Without his reminder, the Power Rings in the hands of the various Power Ring wielders had already informed them of Sinestro's arrival.
As for the Power Rings, they obviously didn't want a Supreme Ring with dominating power above them; they were accustomed to being their own masters.
So, as soon as Sinestro entered OA, countless green light beams shot up from the ground, aiming directly at him!
But Sinestro deftly dodged some of the light attacks. Those he couldn't avoid, he withstood with the Power Ring's power until he landed on OA's surface.
The moment he landed, he saw countless green light constructs of animals, all with varied appearances, charging at him. Each was a highly aggressive monster, and there was even a Starro, a famous giant starfish-like creature in the Universe, among them.
But Sinestro responded calmly. He also used his Supreme Power Ring to manifest creatures to counter his enemies.
This time, however, he changed his strategy. He no longer manifested creatures from Korugar. His home Planet's creatures were still insufficient to face this endless army of monsters.
Therefore, he decided to go the elite route. He used the Power Ring's power to manifest a group of humanoid intelligent beings: the Justice League!
The Supreme Power Ring could manifest all creatures known to the user's mind, so superhumans could naturally be manifested.
Furthermore, the Supreme Power Ring also told Sinestro a very important piece of information: he could also manifest these superhumans' abilities. The deeper his understanding of these superpowers, the more realistic the manifested superpowers would be.
But this was not without cost. To manifest the superpowers of others, Sinestro had to pay a greater price—
His life!
Every second the "Justice League" appeared on the field, every bit of energy they unleashed, was fueled by Sinestro's life.
This caused Sinestro's appearance to age rapidly at a visible rate, but the effect was outstanding!
The vast monster army of the Power Rings was stopped by just a few individuals!
"Wonder Woman" was incredibly strong and skilled in combat, weaving through the beast horde, slaying countless monsters.
"Flash" moved swiftly; his super speed allowed him to pierce and kill all creatures before they could even react.
"Plastic Man" transformed his body, becoming a giant pouch that bagged a large group of monsters, then squeezed them to Death.
"Vixen" observed and learned the abilities of other monsters, then used those abilities to defeat countless opponents larger than herself.
"Dr. Light" used beam bombardments to eliminate entire swathes of beast hordes, without even shifting his position.
"Red Hood" wielded a large sniper rifle, hiding in a secret corner to precisely shoot down monsters, as if participating in a hunt.
As for Dane, Batman, and Zatanna, Sinestro didn't understand their abilities, so he didn't manifest them.
Sinestro knew the abilities of Justice League members because they had all used their powers in public, and he had observed and recorded them.
As he predicted, the moment the Justice League acted, the opposing Power Ring wielders immediately fell into disarray. The green monster hordes were temporarily unable to approach Sinestro, which gave him time to do his own thing.
Taking advantage of this hard-won time, Sinestro quickly retrieved the super bomb hidden in the yellow Power Ring and placed it on the ground.
Next, only the energy source remained. The Lantern Furnace had been destroyed by him, so he had to find another energy source to replace it, and conveniently, he had one in his hand.
The Supreme Power Ring, as a ring that didn't require the Lantern Furnace for power, stored an enormous amount of energy internally. All this energy was life force it had plundered from other hosts over long ages.
The Power Ring was an artifact created by Volthoom, the first green lantern, by combining parts of his soul and consciousness with Lantern travel technology, so it could think.
When Sinestro took out the super bomb and looked at it, the Power Ring knew what the Korugar citizen was up to. It certainly wouldn't surrender, so it began to resist violently.
Originally, it had been tightly clinging to Sinestro, preventing him from escaping, but now it intended to do the opposite: it wanted to break free from Sinestro and escape this Planet!
But Sinestro sensed the Supreme Power Ring's intention and clenched his fist.
With his fingers closed, the Supreme Power Ring couldn't escape; it was trapped!
"You wanted everything I have? Take it all, take it all! But in exchange, you will disappear from this World with me.
Everyone should pay the price for what they've done, even if you're not human!"
Sinestro adjusted the bomb with one hand and then took out the detonator device Dane had given him. This thing was completely foolproof; the only thing he needed to do was press the button.
The Supreme Power Ring trembled even more violently. Sinestro could even feel his fingers as if they were about to break. With the Power Ring's strength, it might actually be able to tear his fingers apart and fly away.
But at that very moment, the yellow Power Ring suddenly glowed, suppressing the green light in a short instant.
"Old friend…" Sinestro felt a pang of guilt seeing this, but he wouldn't abandon his decision.
"This time, we'll be together forever."
With that, he pressed the detonator button.
"No—!" A deafening roar suddenly erupted from the green Supreme Power Ring, but it was too late. Even if Volthoom, the first green lantern, had arrived in person, this explosion was unavoidable.
