Chapter 416: Chapter 416 Dare to brandish weapons in front of me? Don’t you know I’m the Spear King?
"Roar——!!"
Parallax let out a shrill roar, the sound waves vibrating wildly across the sky above the entire city.
It was not because of pain.
The embodiment of fear had no flesh and blood; physical pain did not exist for it at all.
The reason it screamed so miserably was purely out of heartache.
At this moment, more than half of its body was covered by Hellfire.
The crimson flames wrapped around the black fog, devouring it frantically and burning with a sizzling sound.
The fire showed no sign of stopping at all, instead spreading continuously outward along the black fog.
It could feel that the fear energy inside its body was dropping at an alarming rate, and its current energy reserves were even a large chunk less than when it first arrived on Earth.
Parallax felt extremely aggrieved inside.
Having traveled far and wide to this Planet, it originally wanted to have a good, hearty meal.
But as it turned out, it hardly got to eat any food, and was even forced to spit out its leftover meals.
Seeing that the Hellfire was about to spread over its entire body, Parallax did not dare to hesitate.
It immediately peeled off large chunks of the burning black fog.
After detaching from the main body, the black fog wrapped by the Hellfire quickly burned out in mid-air and vanished.
Its originally gigantic size that blocked out the sky shrunk directly from a scale of several thousand meters to just a few hundred meters.
Although Parallax could puff its size back up at any time, it did not do so.
It discovered that the larger its size, the more at a disadvantage it was.
Such a massive mass of a body served no use at all, instead making itself a living target.
"You cannot stop me, human!"
Parallax locked its yellow eyes firmly onto Darian and roared ferociously: "And I will destroy everything you care about! Your family, your friends, your home, and this Planet, they will all cease to exist!"
It wanted to pressure Darian, thereby forcing out the fear in Darian’s heart so that it could draw nourishment.
But Darian did not feel pressured at all, and had not a shred of fear emotion.
At this moment, his eyes held only the desire to complete the mission.
"Hah——tui!"
Darian resorted to his old trick.
Another giant fireball spewed from his mouth, dragging a long flame tail as it whistled toward Parallax.
"Still coming!?"
Parallax was startled and angry, its voice carrying a trace of apprehension.
It had personally experienced the power of this flame just now and knew that once this thing stuck to you, you could not shake it off, and it would burn endlessly.
Naturally, it did not dare to stubbornly take it head-on.
The body composed of black fog instantly dispersed in all directions, splitting a huge hollow in the middle.
The giant fireball passed straight through the hollow and flew toward the distant sky behind it.
"Are you the only one who knows this trick?"
Not to be outdone, Parallax suddenly opened its large mouth, and a blinding yellow light lit up deep within its throat.
"Hah——tui!"
Following that, a giant yellow energy ball spat out, carrying fear energy so thick it almost condensed into substance, smashing straight toward Darian.
Feeling the rich energy fluctuation rushing towards his face and knowing that this thing was quite powerful, Darian similarly chose not to take it head-on.
He was not Clark, and had no hobby of catching skills with his face.
Darian quickly dodged aside.
The giant energy ball grazed past him and exploded with a bang behind him, the violent shockwave shattering large swathes of clouds.
Neither of them intended to stop.
After stabilizing his figure, Darian opened his mouth and greeted it with another fireball.
Parallax did not hesitate either, immediately returning the favor with an energy ball.
"Hah——tui!"
"Hah——tui!"
"Hah——tui!"
For a time, fireballs and energy balls flew back and forth high in the air, the exploding flames and yellow lights blooming one after another in the sky.
Looking up, crimson and golden alternately occupied the entire sky, and the battle seemed quite intense.
But if all those gorgeous special effects were removed, this scene would completely change flavor, being no different from two people spitting at each other, almost too painful to look at.
After spitting at each other for dozens of rounds, Parallax suddenly stopped.
On its ferocious head, hundreds of mouths instantly appeared, and a yellow light lit up in every single mouth.
"Hah——tui!" * 100
Over a hundred energy balls spewed out simultaneously, overwhelming the sky as they blasted toward Darian.
"Holy crap! You ambushed me! You cannot afford to play! You little trash!"
Taken by surprise, Darian only had time to curse out this single sentence before his entire person was engulfed by the energy balls filling the sky, and a dazzling yellow light exploded violently in mid-air.
Looking at that cluster of exploding yellow light, Parallax could not help but burst into loud laughter, its expression quite proud.
"This is called all is fair in war!"
"Hahaha hahahaha——Ptui ptui ptui!"
Before the laughter ended, a giant fireball shot out explosively from the yellow light, accurately landing inside its laughing mouth.
Parallax’s laughter was cut off on the spot, replaced by a fit of violent coughing, and it hurriedly spat out the cluster of black fog wrapped in flames.
Darian flew out from the yellow light, his body wrapped in a layer of translucent flowing water shield, with faint fear energy still lingering on the surface of the shield.
[Equipment: Water Ring (Generates a water-shaped shield that can resist or weaken external attacks)]
Looking at the disheveled Parallax, Darian chuckled: "This is what you call all is fair in war."
Realizing that this came out of Darian’s mouth, Parallax instantly burned with anger.
Not because it felt disgusted, but because it felt unprecedentedly insulted.
It was the embodiment of fear, an existence that even the entire Green Lantern Corps feared by three points.
When had it ever suffered such an insult?
To actually have someone spit into its mouth was simply a supreme humiliation!
"Unforgivable!"
Parallax’s voice suddenly rose sharply, and the entire sky shook along with it.
The black fog surged violently, and a giant hand covering the sky quickly condensed from within.
Its fingers spread wide, and thick yellow light flowed within its palm prints.
That giant hand carried a terrifying sense of oppression as it viciously grabbed toward Darian.
But the next moment, another huge palm steadily blocked it, their fingers interlocking to tightly clamp onto this giant hand.
Slap!
The two giant palms clasped together in mid-air, bursting out a muffled, deafening sound.
Yellow sand filled the sky, surging frantically by Darian’s side.
First condensing into a thick sand arm, it then gradually spread outward, with the shoulders, chest, neck, head, and other parts taking shape in succession.
In the blink of an eye, a hundreds-of-meters-tall Sand Giant appeared out of thin air, suspended above the city.
Its size was on par with Parallax, and its huge shadow covered several blocks below.
Darian stood on top of the Sand Giant’s head, his arms crossed over his chest, looking down condescendingly at Parallax.
At the same time, Hellfire quickly spread outward with him as the center, burning all the way along the body of the Sand Giant, leaving flowing flame patterns on its surface.
Those patterns flowed slowly on the giant’s body like magma, emitting a terrifying high temperature, and the surrounding air was baked into drastic distortion.
Viewed from afar, this Sand Giant had crimson flame patterns flowing all over its body, just like a fire Titan that had walked out of ancient myths.
A look of shock appeared on Parallax’s face, not expecting Darian to be able to achieve to this extent.
Facing the huge oppressive force brought by the Fire Titan, it immediately urged the black fog to surge frantically, similarly condensing a black fog giant to counter it.
Apart from some citizens who had not yet evacuated, there were also quite a few death-defying reporters pursuing big news, faithfully recording the high-altitude footage with cameras.
The audience in front of their televisions saw this scene and were all dumbfounded, frozen in place.
Is this still the World they were familiar with?
Did it have to be this exaggerated!
The members of The Seven were likewise full of surprise.
As teammates, they did not know Darian still hid so many backup plans, and every time they watched him fight, he could pull off different new tricks.
Bruce: (——)
Could this move also be left for me?
Fierce Hellfire erupted all over the Fire Titan’s body, spreading along its arm onto Parallax, which had transformed into a black fog giant.
Parallax had long been prepared for this, immediately severing its arm to cut off the erosion of the Hellfire, and then quickly retreating to widen the distance from the Fire Titan.
Following that, yellow light shone brightly in its hands, condensing a giant blade.
The ability of fear energy and the Green Lantern ring were identical, both capable of materializing imagination and transforming into anything.
As for why Parallax in the movie only knew how to spit water.
Still the same saying, the budget was all sucked away by Hal.
Speaking of which, why has not that kid Hal come back yet?
It was already the final battle, yet he, the protagonist of the movie, had not shown up.
He deserved to flop at the box office.
Darian thought to himself, sneering at Parallax: "Daring to brandish a weapon in front of me, do you not know I am the Gun King?"
As his voice fell, the Fire Titan raised its arm, condensing a long spear in its palm, with the spear tip pointing directly at Parallax.
Parallax showed no fear, striding toward the Fire Titan and raising its blade to hack down.
But before it could get close, the tip of the long spear suddenly opened up, revealing a pitch-black muzzle inside, aimed right at Parallax’s head.
Parallax: "???"
So you meant this kind of Gun King!
Darian pulled the trigger hidden inside the spear handle, and a giant fireball spewed out from the muzzle, slamming into Parallax’s head.
The firelight submerged the entire head inside, bursting open a mushroom cloud.
The black fog surged, and the head that had been blown apart condensed back into shape.
Parallax was furious beyond control: "You cunning human!"
Next, yellow light bloomed all over its body, and rich fear energy surged out.
The broadsword in its hand trembled violently under the infusion of energy, and then the blade shattered, transforming into thousands of blades, every single one wrapped in dazzling light as they swept toward Darian overwhelmingly.
Darian raised his hand, and the Fire Titan synchronously raised its giant palm, slapping forward forcefully.
The entire palm detached from the wrist, flying forward while spinning rapidly.
As it flew, it accelerated its rotation, spinning faster and faster, causing the surrounding air to be stirred into a sharp whistling sound.
In the blink of an eye, that palm turned into a massive sand tornado, wrapped in the Hellfire attached to it, as scorching heatwaves rippled out in all directions.
A giant sand-fire tornado formed with a roar, sweeping toward Parallax.
The sand-fire tornado collided head-on with those thousands of energy blades, and the fierce wind and heatwaves carried the leftover energy ripples as they swept outward in all directions.
Circles of visible shockwaves exploded high in the air, and the glass curtain walls of the city below were rattled into a loud clatter, with many people covering their ears.
Bathing in the noon scorching sun, Darian was in a fiery state and did not need to regulate his mana pool at all.
He controlled the Fire Titan to close in, its two giant fists burning with blazing flames held high, smashing down head-on toward Parallax.
Parallax hurriedly raised its arms to block.
Boom!!
The two giants collided fiercely high in the air, producing a muffled, deafening sound, as if two mountain bodies were colliding head-on above the clouds.
Flames and black fog intertwined frantically at the point of Impact, emitting a sizzling burning sound, and large clumps of black smoke rose between the two giants.
The Fire Titan’s double fists firmly pinned Parallax’s arms, and the Hellfire continuously spread onto the opponent along the contact surface.
Parallax gritted its teeth, and the black fog on its chest suddenly split open, revealing dozens of ferocious large mouths with blinding yellow light gathering inside them.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Several beams of energy pierced through, instantly turning the Fire Titan’s body into a honeycomb.
But this did not affect Darian’s operation.
Those holes healed rapidly, refilled with sand.
Its left hand pulled back, and with a backhand elbow strike, it heavily smashed into Parallax’s side face.
Titan Fist warning!
Parallax’s head tilted sideways from this elbow strike, and half of its cheek exploded into a cluster of scattered black fog.
Darian did not stop.
The fire giant clenched its double fists, opening and closing left and right against Parallax, beating it in the face punch after punch.
Pure physical damage from fists meant nothing to the embodiment of fear; hitting the black fog was pretty much like hitting cotton.
But the Hellfire attached to it was different.
Every punch frantically burned the already scarce fear energy inside its body, burning with a sizzling sound as the black fog continuously evaporated and dissipated.
If this went on, its fear energy would soon drop below the danger line.
Although it would not die because of this, its power would definitely be greatly discounted, and by then it would be even less of a match for Darian, only to be kicked around casually like a stray dog on the roadside.
If anyone else encountered this situation, most would think about tactical retreat at this time, claiming poor condition today and temporarily letting Darian off the hook, at worst finding a place to fill their stomachs before coming back to save face.
But Parallax was the embodiment of fear; how could the emotion of fear exist within it?
If it truly had fear and turned around to absorb its own fear, wouldn’t that make it a perpetual motion machine?
Even if it were willing to do so, the will of this Universe would not allow such bug-exploiting operations.
Parallax hardened its heart and simply gave up all defense.
Its body suddenly swelled, expanding once again to a scale of several thousand meters that blocked out the sky.
The black fog surged violently, like a black tsunami, pouncing head-on toward the Fire Titan, completely disregarding the Hellfire burning fiercely on the opponent’s body.
"Hmm?"
Seeing Parallax’s life-risking posture, Darian was taken aback.
Has this boss gone crazy from fighting or what?
He did not have time to think deeply either.
Since the opponent delivered itself proactively, he could not be blamed for being impolite.
Darian waved his hand, and the light around the Fire Titan burst forth brilliantly.
Large patches of fireballs spewed out from its palms, densely illuminating the entire sky as they whistled and blasted toward Parallax.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
The fireballs exploded one after another on Parallax’s massive body, blasting out rolling seas of fire one after another.
The crimson flames spread frantically across the black fog, burning the entire sky into a dark red.
But Parallax did not dodge or evade, just withstanding the dense bombardment of fireballs and charging straight in, the burned-away black fog constantly being replenished.
Its speed instead grew faster and faster, its entire body beginning to deform and rapidly spreading out, transforming into a sky-covering dark red curtain that walled the fire giant along with Darian inside.
"Is it trying to take me away in a bundle?"
Darian did not care what Parallax was thinking, controlling the Fire Titan to cross its arms as the flames all over its body suddenly erupted.
The Hellfire blasted and diffused in all directions with him as the center, forming a ring of scorching flame barrier, attempting to force back that dark red curtain.
The curtain was burned until it sizzled loudly, emitting large clumps of black smoke.
But Parallax had no intention of backing down at all, hard-carrying the incineration of the Hellfire as the curtain closed in toward the center from all directions.
Just as Darian was thinking of a way to break through this curtain, suddenly a tall body standing over three meters tall flew out from the curtain.
It was Parallax.
Its body shone brightly with yellow light, breaking through the barrier formed by the Hellfire as it grabbed toward Darian’s head.
Darian reacted quickly, grasping the spear of longinus in his hand and thrusting it at Parallax, directly piercing through the opponent’s body.
However, Parallax had no reaction, instead laughing loudly.
"Hahaha! Become my new vessel!"
"As long as the powers of the two of us combine, we will become the most powerful fear in the Universe!"
At this moment, Hal was still on his way back to Earth.
