American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

#288 - Infinity Series: Psychic Gloves

"Get out of the way!" Seeing the figure suddenly appearing in front of him, Sinestro, enraged by Parallax's loss of control, punched Thanos, who was within reach. Energy enveloped his fist, winding a smooth curve in the air, and the fist, expanded many times over, struck Thanos, who seemed unable to dodge in time.

Huh?

The extended energy was like another layer of his skin, and Sinestro could clearly feel all the information from the energy feedback. His fist did hit the opponent, but not the opponent's body as he had imagined.

Thanos opened one hand and blocked in front of him. The huge fist was blocked by his palm, which was covered with a metal gauntlet, and no matter how hard Sinestro tried, he couldn't move forward an inch.

Thanos's palm bent slightly, as if he was pinching an item in his palm. The sculpted fist became like a fragile item under Thanos's actions, covered with cracks. As Thanos's palm completely closed, Sinestro's huge fist collapsed, turning into glittering fragments, like swallows returning to their nest, absorbed by a gauntlet on Thanos's hand.

"You can actually absorb the power of fear?" Seeing this scene and feeling a section of energy missing from his body, Sinestro's face was shocked. Whether it was a Green Lantern or Yellow Lantern ring, the released energy was generally not completely exhausted, but the mysterious person opposite him was intercepting a portion of the energy from his Yellow Lantern ring with a higher priority.

Sinestro had never seen anything like this in all his years. And the prerequisite for the other party to do this seemed to be the ornate gauntlet he was wearing.

While Sinestro was surprised, he also felt curious and yearned for the gauntlet. It seemed that this gauntlet had a kind of magic that stirred up the greed in people's hearts, making them want to seize it unconsciously.

But this feeling was only for a moment and not difficult to restrain.

"..."

Parallax, who was being used as a stepping stone by the two, roared in dissatisfaction, feeling the two small bugs on its body. Soundless energy shockwaves that directly impacted people's mental consciousness raged around. The power of fear spread wildly again.

However, the two people on its body did not care about Parallax's little temper, and the raging shockwaves did not have any deterrent effect on them. Its actions instead seemed to expose itself, attracting Thanos's attention.

"A powerful energy source. A similar substitute for the mind energy." Thanos reached out and summoned the Tyrant Blade, which was as domineering and door-like as a door panel, appearing abruptly in his hand. According to the mission's settings, he decided to adjust the priority of things first.

For example, should he first capture this huge source of fear below?

The Tyrant Blade plunged down fiercely, and the heavy blade directly sank into Parallax's body. His behavior aroused Sinestro's shock and anger, as well as Parallax's frantic counterattack.

In mid-air, there were hundreds of death rolls in a row, trying to drive the two small bugs on its body away, but Thanos and Sinestro each used their own skills to firmly fix their bodies on it. It was as if its extremely dangerous body was a comfortable and indispensable paradise.

Failing in one plan, Parallax immediately changed to another method. Countless energy arms extended from its body surface, grabbing the feet of Thanos and Sinestro, and then, like vines, countless arms climbed up their bodies along their feet.

Sinestro didn't expect to be affected by Parallax's indiscriminate attack. Or rather, Parallax's chaotic brain, with its pitifully small capacity, had never thought that he was still on its back, or that it had ever considered him its master or considered his safety.

Thanos activated the Infinity Gauntlet, but the six Infinity Stones, filled with energy, dimmed. Breaking through the wall of the universe and accurately teleporting here caused the energy that Luke had sealed inside with technology to be almost completely consumed. And this universe could not provide the corresponding energy for the Infinity Stones, which made them now merely six peculiar gem-like objects that looked somewhat historical.

Fortunately, Luke had already thought of this flaw and made targeted compensation.

The Captain in the distance saw Thanos raise the familiar gauntlet and gently snapped his fingers. The six gems embedded in the gauntlet instantly shattered into a cloud-like powder and dissipated.

The gauntlet was reorganized in molecular form, and in the blink of an eye, a new gauntlet appeared on Thanos's hand. This also completely consumed the last bit of stored energy in the six gems.

Sinestro, who was struggling to break free from the arms and fly into the sky, suddenly seemed to sense something and abruptly looked at the gauntlet on Thanos's hand, which had changed its form. He actually felt a great fear from the gauntlet!

The person who controlled the power of fear was actually afraid of a gauntlet. This made Sinestro feel absurd, but also gave rise to the idea of running away. Because only those who have controlled fear are more sensitive to fear. His sense of crisis told him that if he didn't escape while the other party's attention was not on him, his end might be extremely miserable.

But should he really run away?

Sinestro was still somewhat hesitant in his heart. It was obvious that the other party's attention was now entirely on Parallax, the Yellow Lantern's creature. Although Parallax was very powerful, Sinestro instinctively felt that the other party could harm Parallax. And without Parallax, his long-planned Yellow Lantern Corps would be all in vain. And he would no longer be able to take revenge on those Guardians.

This was even more uncomfortable and unacceptable than letting Sinestro die directly.

Parallax's size had expanded to a rather terrifying degree because it had absorbed a huge amount of fear. And the larger the size, the more powerful it was at this moment, like a huge insect lying on top of a city, regarding the city as its nest. Any slight movement could bring huge disasters and casualties to the city below.

But the invincible Parallax was also in a strange state at this time. It seemed a little anxious and uneasy. On the one hand, there was a feeling that it hadn't experienced for a long time, but it was deeply remembered, and it had become its representative feeling that made it uneasy. On the other hand, it seemed that there was another energy around it that was competing with it for food, which made it even more annoyed.

And the next moment, the situation that deepened Parallax's fear suddenly came upon it. A huge suction force surged from the strange man on its body, who was covered by countless energy arms and about to be drowned by the endless power of fear. Any power of fear that came into contact with the other party would be absorbed into a gauntlet in a rude and unreasonable manner.

Feeling the rapid loss of energy in its body, Parallax was furious. It struggled and counterattacked frantically, and its violent struggles and counterattacks were simply a huge disaster like a natural disaster for Gotham City below. Bruce, with flames burning in his eyes, wanted to step forward, but Rogers and Hal grabbed his arm.

Rogers signaled Bruce to watch carefully.

Although Parallax's struggle was like the sky falling and the earth cracking, its size was still uncontrollably shrinking due to the loss of energy. Strictly speaking, Lantern creatures don't care about size, or rather, there is no concept of whether the size is huge or not. It's just that Parallax discovered that being huge could stimulate more fear here, so it deliberately expanded.

However, the other party's absorption was more like an absorption in concept.

A long-lost fear of death surged from the depths of memory into Parallax's head. Parallax, who first experienced fear from death at the beginning of the universe and represented this emotion, suddenly became inexplicably clear in its chaotic brain.

It could feel that the strange man who was devouring its power was too powerful. Not only was his gauntlet powerful, but his body was even more perverted than that Kryptonian. It couldn't see the other party's fear, so it couldn't maximize the use of its power of fear. Plus, the gauntlet was simply its nemesis. After looking left and right, Parallax wanted to get close to Sinestro for help, but Sinestro was too far away from it, and the other party was not strong enough. So in the next moment, Parallax tried its best to pounce on the area where Bruce and the others were.

Any one of them had a strong enough mind and possessed some unique and precious qualities. Once combined with its power, it would definitely allow its power to be elevated to a more powerful level. At that time, perhaps it could get rid of this terrible strange man, or even solve him.

It first chose Superman. The other party's physical fitness was extremely strong, and he also had surging energy in his body. It was also heading towards Superman, but it was blocked by someone it didn't expect halfway.

Hal Jordan.

This Green Lantern, who performed generally on the battlefield, carried out his courage. After sensitively discovering Parallax's actions, he reminded him too late and used himself as a shield to block in front of Superman and the others.

However, Parallax didn't launch an attack at all, but took the opportunity to cling to Hal's body, forcibly stuffing its body into his body.

Hal Jordan only felt that his spirit was severely polluted. The evil thoughts that he would never have had in the past emerged one after another at this moment. He even not only thought about it, but also had a strong urge to take action. The little bit of consciousness that remained ensured that he could still maintain some of his original thinking at this moment. His expression changed unpredictably, like a facial art, and the light on his body switched and changed constantly.

"Go away!"

Feeling that he was about to completely lose control, Hal turned around stiffly and opened his mouth to Superman and the others behind him with difficulty. Then his whole body, wrapped in energy, shot straight into the sky.

But he was cut in the waist by a war blade thrown like a javelin not far after flying out. The body fused with Parallax and the protection of Parallax's powerful energy, this attack did not kill Hal, but the power and strange energy attached to the blade directly sent the other party flying, causing Hal to suffer some damage.

"Hal!" Rogers hurriedly flew in the direction of Hal. Although they had already detected Hal's abnormality at this moment, he really couldn't give up on the other party if he wanted Rogers to. Bruce's eyes flickered, and after looking around the battlefield with pupils that seemed to be burning with flames, he also swept towards the direction where Hal was with the Captain.

"Wait, Hal is not a bad person." Superman stood in front of Thanos, wanting to stop Thanos from going to Hal. But what he got in return was a fierce blow from Thanos. The fist hit Superman's face, and even he, who was like steel and iron, felt an unprecedented pain.

Superman stopped his body from being knocked away in mid-air, made a turn in mid-air, and rushed towards Thanos like a javelin with one arm forward, fighting together.

Superman's fist landed on Thanos's armor, making a dull loud noise, but Thanos was like a reef, and his body didn't even shake. When Superman's fist came again, Thanos seemed to feel annoyed, and his thick palm directly wrapped Superman's fist. The huge force attached to the fist was easily eliminated and endured by Thanos, and then he raised one leg and kicked Superman in the chest. Superman only felt that this kick would even kick out his internal organs. He was powerless to resist and turned into a stream of light and flew out.

The Kryptonians, who were famous for their strong physical fitness, may not have thought that one day they would encounter the Titans from another universe who were also extremely strong.

"Can we talk? What exactly did Luke ask you to do!" Seeing Thanos chasing after him with murderous intent, the Captain stood up and blocked Bruce and Hal Jordan, whose consciousness was still fighting against Parallax.

Thanos, who had always been silent, flickered his eyes and pointed the Tyrant Blade at the Captain: "Collect energy, build beacons, and take you home."

"Does it need to be done to this extent?" The Captain felt that Thanos's state was a bit wrong, and there was a clear difference from the Thanos in his memory, but the current environment did not allow him to think too much.

"The priority of collecting energy is above other tasks." Thanos exerted a slight force on his limbs and jumped up high. The Captain wanted to stop him, but he was hit by a hammer that Thanos suddenly appeared in his hand and threw out. The hammer was flashing with electric light.

The hammer pressed down on the Captain and fell directly to the ground. The Captain wanted to get up, but he felt that no matter what, he couldn't move the familiar hammer that was pressing on him at all.

"Damn it, how is Thor's hammer here too!" The Captain's veins were throbbing from exertion.

"Don't be afraid, child. In a very short moment, you will be liberated." Thanos kicked Bruce and his battle suit away with one foot, came to Hal, who was shaking, and stroked his head gently with his gauntlet hand, comforting him.

Hal let out a painful roar, but Thanos remained unmoved. The psionic gauntlet forcibly pulled Parallax out of Hal's body, destroying the fusion between the two. Because the spirits of the two were being combined together, under Thanos's rude and tough methods, it was like severing Hal's spiritual consciousness. The unspeakable pain made people want to die.

After a while, Hal, who was in a coma because of the pain and whose spirit was on the verge of exhaustion, fell softly to the ground. Parallax had turned into a golden transparent amber, with the Yellow Lantern pattern inside, and appeared in the place where the Infinity Gauntlet used to be inlaid with gems.

[Fear Expression Parallax Capture Successful]

The violent energy fluctuations in the gauntlet flashed and disappeared, and then calmed down. Thanos looked at the messy battlefield and examined the memories extracted from Parallax's paste-like head.

[There are six more!]
