Chapter 389: Mungo's Awakening, the Parallax Monster Released
War World.
Many, many years ago.
"No! Weak, fragile thing!"
Even to this day, Mungo can still recall his mother's roar at him that day.
"That guy was careless and had his back to you, why didn't you hit him?"
"Because... eh..."
The young Mungo was strangled by his mother's chained hands, and stammered:
"Because... because sneaking up on others is a cowardly act."
"Cowardly act? Are you kidding?"
"Strength should not be used to hurt people of the same tribe, this is..."
"Shut up! Today is your slaughter day, you must defeat your opponent! And the weakest among you will be exiled, along with his mother. You had the opportunity to choose the life of your enemy or your own life, and you Choosing him. That's a cowardly act!" The furious mother threw her son into the middle of a group of yellow-skinned young companions who were still fighting: "I will never allow your weakness to cause me to wander the wasteland! Hit! Go up and hit!" She shouted angrily: "Use your teeth! Use your fists! Tear them to pieces!" "No..." The young Mongo raised his head and saw only the hideous face of his former companion: "It's almost over, weakling. Soon you won't have to fight." Mongo hesitated to pick up the stone hammer on the ground. He easily lifted the heavy weapon, but did not swing it. Soon he was knocked to the ground by the opponent's stick. The heavy blow that was enough to burst a person's brain only caused a little redness and swelling at the corner of Mongo's mouth. "You will die in exile!" Mongo heard his opponent say. "Your son is too soft-hearted. Look at him, hesitating."
Mengge heard his opponent's mother say to his own mother: "Even if he survived by chance, both of you will be exiled today."
"My son's fate will never belong to the Gaoluogo Yangan Wasteland."
Mengge's mother said to the mother of Mengge's opponent: "He is Mengge's son."
"My son is Mengge's son. Mengge will never condescend to a vulgar person like you. He will not give birth to a weak little chain like your son."
On the field, Mengge was beaten by his opponent without any resistance. He was covered in dust and fell into the dust.
The voice of the opponent's mother rang in the ears of Monggo's mother:
"The current Monggo defeated a bull mammoth when he was the same age as your son, an adult."
"He climbed onto its back, killed it, and pulled out its stinger, then wore it on his arm. When the mammoth's tribe came to seek revenge on him, they were slaughtered until they recognized him as a member of the tribe."
She showed the situation on the field to Monggo's mother: "Look how my son subdued your son, he was merciless. He will be the only son of Monggo in this group, he will make the Chakgaleng tribe stronger and trample on all other tribes."
Monggo's mother did not speak, she just watched coldly as the mother of Monggo's opponent continued to chatter:
"When he grows up, he will kill his father, take away the title of Monggo, take me into Monggo's castle, and you and your soft-hearted little chain will become dry bones in the wasteland of Gaologo Yangan..."
The voice was full of pleasure.
Mother Mungo watched young Mungo fall to the ground, and she could no longer bear it. She rushed over and fought with the mother of Mungo's opponent:
"Weak little pig, you will never live in the castle!"
She cursed at the mother of Mungo's opponent and bit her face until the warriors of the tribe rushed over, picked her up and dragged her away.
Mungo's mother punched and kicked:
"But my son will not die in exile! He is the son of Mungo, he will find his own strength, and on that day, all the debts he owes to me... will be paid off!"
But private fights cannot change the final result.
In the square of the tribe, in the primitive tribe surrounded by a large number of alien spacecraft wreckage, young Mungo listened to the announcement of the tribe members:
"On the day of slaughter, you are judged as the weakest. In order to strengthen our tribe, you and your mother will spend the rest of your lives in the wasteland of Gaologzion. Say your last words, if you want."
Mungo couldn't say a word. He was not seriously injured, and his peers had no ability to hurt his strong body.
Many powerful people in the universe will show their extraordinaryness in childhood, such as Lady Styx and Mongo. Even at a young age, the physical fitness of the future cosmic tyrant is beyond ordinary people, but...
He just looked at everything happening in front of him blankly. He was too young and too young to understand why he was treated like this.
He could not adapt to the cruel law of survival of the fittest in the tribe. Even with his mother's forced intervention, his nature made him unable to do so.
He just heard his mother say:
"Our story does not end here." He heard his mother's voice with intense hatred:
"I follow the way of the war tribe more than any warrior here. My son will learn this way, and we will definitely take revenge on you!"
Mongo's mother said this with a solemn oath, and then she turned around and left decisively without waiting for the warriors of the tribe to take action.
So that day, the young Mongo and his mother... disappeared in the wind.
This is the story of Mongo, and it is also the beginning of the story of the legendary cosmic tyrant.
…
…
…
Mungo looked at Sinestro's back.
He had already decided to hurt someone from behind, and to be ruthless to his fellow Yellow Lanterns.
Many years ago, a lesson taught him that he should not have mercy on the weak. When the enemy has his back to him, the best thing to do is to swing the weapon in his hand with all his strength and hit him on the back.
Either become stronger or die and become a dry bone in the wilderness. There is no third option. Mungo has long been aware of this. For so many years, he has practiced his philosophy with his life and the fate of the entire planet.
In fact, Mungo also hesitated.
In the case that Batman and Sinestro seem to have reached an alliance, should he choose to go all out at this moment, or should he...
seek help from Caronna again.
When facing the Black Death Emperor before, the part of Caronna's immortal soul that escaped from his body proved that he was harboring evil intentions. He was definitely not a good collaborator like the first Lantern. Does he still need to seek help from the other party?
Although they are both exiles who have made great contributions to the development of the emotional spectrum, Kalonna, who was once a member of the Guardians of the Universe, has a deeper understanding of the Green Lantern Central Energy Battery than the First Lantern who only cooperates with the Guardians of the Universe.
Who captured the Ion Shark and the Parallax Monster, and then stuffed them into the Green Lantern Central Energy Battery, artificially creating yellow defects for the Green Lantern Corps to facilitate the Guardians of the Universe to control them steadily?
Who led all this?
Kalonna!
Some of the Guardians of the Universe are even his disciples. Do you really think that anyone who defected can kill the Machine Hunter in the pursuit of the Guardians of the Universe, or even hack into the entire Machine Hunter Corps through just one Machine Hunter, and then control them to create the 666 sector massacre?
Mongo knew that Kalonna could do this. As long as he called for the other party's help, he would be able to open the Green Lantern Central Energy Battery without Sinestro's consent, and he didn't even need to get close.
Kalonna participated in the manufacture of the Green Lantern Central Energy Battery. In his eyes, there was no secret in that thing, like paper.
But... is it really worth it?
Kalona has evil intentions, and Mongo knows that he has bad intentions - will he continue to try to occupy his body and manipulate himself to help him revive?
Kalona even escaped from the hands of the Black Death Emperor. He was a person who escaped death. Is it really worth it to fight with such a dangerous character?
Worth it.
Mongo lowered his eyelids.
This is a risk that must be taken. Sometimes in order to win, he must cooperate with the jackal.
Of course, of course...
Mongo thought.
He still made other preparations. The mechanical Superman with the Green Lantern Ring of Mercy and the two assassins beside Sinestro were ready.
If Mongo did not use Kalona's power and randomly activated any trump card hidden beside Sinestro, he could also distract Batman and Sinestro, so that he would have the opportunity to seize the Green Lantern Central Energy Battery. At that time, he could use the method Kalona gave him before to open the Green Lantern Central Energy Battery.
However...
Those were plans made to kill Sinestro!
Today, he has the opportunity to choose between his enemy's life or his own life. He will never choose Sinestro's, that would be a cowardly act.
He must ensure that Sinestro's death plan is foolproof. Once he is forced to reveal one of the gifts he prepared for Sinestro in advance, it is very likely to arouse Sinestro's vigilance.
Once the other party is prepared, the probability of a successful murder will be greatly reduced.
Mongo can never accept this. Only when Sinestro dies, he will have a chance to compete for the control of the Yellow Lantern Corps, just as Sinestro knows very well:
Since Mongo joined the Yellow Lantern Corps, his goal has been to become the master of the Yellow Lantern Corps... not like Batman.
Not far away, Batman patted Sinestro on the shoulder: "From now on, your relatives are my relatives, our common relatives. Let's start a business together, rectify the order of the universe, and bring the earth under management. All the criminals will be hanged to death, all of them will be hung on street lights. The Green Lantern Corps and the Yellow Lantern Corps will jointly enforce the law..."
Mongo looked at Sinestro's expression. The other party was a little noncommittal and a little suspicious. He knew that he couldn't wait any longer. No matter whether Batman really wanted to cooperate with Sinestro or it was another fraudulent lie, for him, waiting was a slow death.
"Karona..."
He called in a low voice: "I agree, turn on the green light central energy battery."
Then he heard Karona's voice, which appeared in his mind through the yellow light ring in his hand.
"Are you sure? You know I have evil intentions."
At this point, there was nothing to hide between the two of them. Karona attached his soul power to Mongo without Mongo's consent, which explained a lot of things. Karona understood, and Mongo also understood.
But even so...
"Are you still willing to let me attach to you?"
"Yes." Mongo said.
He looked at Sinestro and Batman who were talking happily.
"Once you release the Parallax Monster... I must fight for the Parallax Monster with all my strength. If I win, I can use the Parallax Monster to expel your influence."
Karona knew that the other party was right. If the other party could really tame the Parallax Monster with his willpower, then Karona really couldn't do anything to him--
After all, he is still trapped in the cosmic egg and is not in his prime.
"And if I lose..."
Mungo paused.
He recalled his childhood wanderings in the wasteland, and then said:
"I will become a dry skeleton in the wasteland of Gologzion."
"If you want to use this dry skeleton as a carrier of your body to do something, then it's up to you, that's the fate of a loser."
His words moved Caronna a little:
"It really surprises me, you are a freak who is crazy about power and authority. I really don't know which planet will breed a madman like you. But don't worry...if you don't die."
"Have you never thought that you will fail?"
He asked Mongo, and Mongo's eyes wandered on Batman, Sinestro and Archiro.
Archiro, the beast in the dense forest, is squinting his eyes, waiting for the next attack.
Sinestro, the deliberate dictator, is considering an evil alliance with Batman.
Batman, a crazy laugher, a scum with no bottom line.
Why do you think you can defeat them head-on and seize the parallax monster?
But Caronna didn't ask this question out loud. He believed that Mongo had already made up his mind, so he said, "You will find your own power."
Caronna said, "And because of this awareness, I am willing to give you a chance."
He said, "I will eventually come back, but I have never just planned to come back. Believe me, one day, I will take revenge on all those who caused this."
Through Mongo's eyes, he looked at the bodies of countless little blue men floating in the air:
"Batman doesn't think that he can kill a group of immortals by such means, right?"
He grinned, "My revenge has not yet begun."
He said to Mongo, "And you, because of your courage and achievements, I promise you that you will have a place in the new world I created."
"I need someone to replace the position of the guardians of the universe in the era I created, and you have earned this qualification. So now give me your hand and your heart."
"Let us implement your awareness."
Then he opened his hand.
The next second, in the green light central energy battery next to Sinestro, the roar of the parallax monster shook the world!
This is Mongo’s awakening and a new chapter in the story of the Cosmic Tyrant.
