Chapter 768: The Origin of Fear - Green Lantern Peter Parker

In the DC Universe, Lantern Rings are among the most powerful weapons in the cosmos. Don't let their unassuming appearance fool you; they are high-tech products.

Take the Green Lantern Rings, for example. Each ring, besides the miniature computer it carries, is also connected to Oa. This connectivity allows the Lanterns to stay closely linked, sharing knowledge and experiences, enabling almost every Lantern to handle most situations.

However, in the Marvel Universe, this Green Lantern Ring, crafted by the divine Twins, doesn't have as many convenient features. Nevertheless, Valeria diligently added a beginner's tutorial and a miniature computer to the ring.

So, the moment Peter put on the ring, he already knew how to use this powerful weapon.

Seeing Cindy charging towards him, Peter immediately raised his right hand, which bore the ring. His surging willpower flowed into the ring, and in the next second, a brilliant green light erupted, and a massive hand emerged from the ring.

The arm, formed from willpower, completely obeyed its master's commands. Peter, as if catching a butterfly, sent the willpower arm to envelop the charging Cindy.

On the other side, Cindy, who had shown some semblance of reason earlier, was now acting like a madwoman, ignoring the massive arm reaching for her. She swung the hammer in her hand, which was even larger than herself, with a fierce strike.

The sharp pickaxe erupted with incredible energy, piercing through the willpower arm with a single blow. The arm shattered into countless fragments of light.

Undeterred by the failed attempt, Peter didn't lose heart. Green energy gathered once more, and this time, four cylindrical objects appeared around him, each with a rope connecting its end to Peter's ring.

Finding the right moment, Peter yanked hard, and all the ropes snapped simultaneously. With a series of 'bang, bang, bang, bang!' four shots were fired, and four cannonballs hurtled towards the charging Cindy.

Seeing this, Cindy tried to shatter the cannonballs with her hammer, just as she had done with the arm earlier, but as soon as she raised her arm, the cannonballs changed.

'Bang!' ×4

Four more explosions rang out as the four cannonballs detonated around her, transforming into four massive green nets that threatened to completely engulf Cindy.

Seeing this, Cindy altered the energy output, changing the conical energy surrounding the pickaxe into a scythe that emphasized cutting performance. Using herself as the axis, Cindy began to rotate from top to bottom, turning herself into a blade wheel.

Unsurprisingly, the blade wheel sliced through the four large nets one after another. Cindy didn't stop after breaking the attacks; instead, she accelerated her spin and flung the hammer in her hand.

Peter's eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand to conjure four shields, one after another, each about two meters thick. Having just come into contact with the Lantern Ring, Peter could be considered exceptionally talented to achieve this level of control in such a short time.

However, Cindy's hammer was a pickaxe specializing in armor penetration, hitting right where it hurt.

"Crack!"

Like the sound of shattering glass, the hammer broke through three shields in the blink of an eye. The remaining shield was nothing special, and it soon followed in its brothers' footsteps.

However, after the hammer shattered the last shield, Peter, who should have been hiding behind the shields, had vanished without a trace. At the same time, Cindy's spider-sense, which hadn't gone off in a long time, suddenly blared.

The stinging sensation in her brain forced Cindy to dodge to the left. Sure enough, Peter's attack came right after, and the latter, who wanted to knock the former unconscious, missed with the bat in his hand and now had a look of annoyance on his face.

"Tsk, just a little bit more," Peter couldn't help but click his tongue, and then he perked up.

Because Peter knew that sometimes battles were like fighting games. When a person's attack missed, they would be met with a storm of attacks from their opponent.

Like a certain game where someone who uses a rising dragon punch alone in the air would die.

Sure enough, Cindy stretched her right hand back as far as she could, and her whole body was like a bowstring pulled taut. The next second, this fist that looked very bad landed on his face.

The shield that Peter had just conjured shattered instantly, and he flew out like an arrow, smashing through two tall buildings before barely stopping.

Struggling to climb out of the shattered bathtub, he was glad that the Green Lantern's protective shield had saved his life, otherwise, Peter thought he would either be dead or become a vegetable from that punch.

Looking around, Peter found that he had crashed into a residential building. Fortunately, the general public had been evacuated at this time, otherwise, he didn't know how many people would die because of his mistake.

That's how superhuman battles sometimes are. Just the exchange of fists and feet can pose a deadly threat to ordinary people. For example, right now, two buildings have become dangerous buildings under Peter's collision, and it looks like they can't be used anymore.

But now is not the time to think about these things. Based on Cindy's hatred for him, Peter was sure that unless she saw him die with her own eyes, she would never stop attacking.

"Boom!"

Peter turned his gaze in the direction of the sound and saw Cindy rushing towards him with a hammer, breaking through the wall. In such a small space, the kind of huge attack just now was not easy to use, Peter needed to change his thinking and change his fighting style.

Clenching his fists, green light filled the entire room, and in the next second, many electronic components appeared around Peter, and outside those electrical components were all kinds of armor.

In less than a second, a three-meter-tall mech was created by Peter. Under Peter's control, the mech raised its right hand, and the mechanical grapple shot out at the first moment, landing right on New's abdomen.

Relying on the special nature of the Lantern Ring, Peter applied incredible power to this mechanical claw, giving it the power to push away Spider-Man with the blessing of the Heavenly Hammer. In this way, Cindy came quickly and went even faster, flying backwards under the control of the claw.

"I know, Cindy!" Peter's voice was amplified a lot by the loudspeaker he had created, so even at such a distance Cindy could hear him clearly, but she, who had lost her mind, did not intend to pay attention to her brother.

"You are very strong. I always wanted to capture you alive without hurting you, but the facts prove that I can't do it, so I'm going to be serious next."

Peter jumped out of the building, and at the same time, a green light as tall as a building rose behind the armor he had created.

"This is definitely going to hurt, so after I rescue you, you can hit me however you want and I will explain, but you must remember that I am doing this for your own good!"
