Chapter 767 The Origin of Fear - The Willpower to Overcome Fear

What a grotesque scene it was. A thin girl was holding a huge hammer in one hand, which was a head taller than her. On the pointed side of the hammer was a corpse that looked exactly like the girl.

Even if Peter saw such a painting at an art exhibition with the theme of fantasy, he would definitely stay away from it, not to mention that this scene happened right in front of him in real life, and the protagonist was his sister.

"Cindy, what's with the hammer?"

Peter was not a fool. He could certainly see that all of Cindy's abnormalities came from the exaggeratedly large hammer. Obviously, if everything Cindy said was true, then the hammer was the key to her escape.

But was Cindy's anger and resentment really caused by the hammer? Seeing the scar on Cindy's face, he felt filled with guilt.

"Your Majesty needs fear. If you, burdened by self-blame, die in fear, it will be the best nourishment."

As Cindy said this, her free hand drew several tracks in the air, and then a scarlet halo rushed towards Peter's head. Peter, who was physically restricted, naturally could not dodge and could only allow the halo to hit him.

"This is the memory I've been having these days. Savor it, and then die with guilt and fear!"

After Cindy finished speaking, she leaned her body against the giant hammer. The next second, she flew into the sky, broke through the ceiling and flew into the night sky.

Faced with this building that holds her happy, sad, and fearful memories, Cindy feels complicated. She doesn't know if she can really bring herself to do it.

Soon, while Cindy was hesitating, someone made the decision for her.

The giant hammer that Cindy was leaning on emitted a scarlet light. After the light, the hesitation on Cindy's face disappeared, replaced by determination and indifference.

Cindy raised the hammer behind her high into the air with both hands as if drawing a sword. Scarlet energy immediately burst out, almost turning into substance. Cindy's body gradually leaned back in the process.

When the energy was accumulated, Cindy's eyes focused, and her body suddenly exerted force like a bow with a full string, and a stream of red energy immediately hit the Parker Building.

After swinging the hammer, Cindy remained where she was. She wanted to quietly watch the building disappear. It was because of this thought that she saw an inconspicuous green light streaking across the sky and rushing towards the Parker Building.

What it is?
As soon as Cindy had this thought, the energy ball she released hit the top of the building, and the next second everything began to turn to ashes.

Whatever it was, it didn't matter now. Nothing could survive that attack except His Majesty the Great Snake. Whatever it was, it didn't matter what he wanted to do.

Cindy raised the hammer, and the Cindy from another universe who was originally hanging on the pickaxe had disappeared. The energy she had just accumulated was so powerful that even Spider-Man's body was reduced to ashes in an instant.

Her fear, happiness, everything had disappeared in that blow. Perhaps it was for this reason that she was chosen by His Majesty the Great Snake.

Cindy looked at the crowd that was agitated by the explosion just now. The fear of these people would become nourishment for His Majesty the Great Snake and help him return to the top, but this was far from enough.

If she wants to fulfill His Majesty's long-cherished wish, she needs to cause more fear.

Cindy was about to turn around and leave when a green light caught her attention, and the light came from the direction of the building.

The next second, the green light turned into a pillar of light that shot up into the sky, followed by a majestic voice.

“The day is bright and the night is vast.

Demons and demons have no place to hide.

Heretics and rebels fear my divine light.

"The green light shines forever, its light shines for eternity!" The soaring green light even dispersed the dark clouds in the sky. At this moment, the bright moonlight finally fell on the earth. For a moment, the panic began to slowly dissipate, and courage and willpower once again appeared in people's hearts.

"Peter Parker!" Cindy pronounced her brother's name in the most vicious tone. Yes, the beacon that dispelled the dark clouds was...

Peter Parker.

...

Time goes back a few seconds.

Peter, lying on the ground unable to move, was in tears. He was not sad for his own impending death, but for his sister.

In just a short second, he saw everything his sister had experienced in the past week, and he intuitively felt Cindy's fear, hope and despair.

Peter felt that in that situation, he would grab any life-saving straw, even if it was a helping hand extended by the devil.

But Peter didn't want his sister to fall into the abyss, and he didn't want Cindy to live in that state for the rest of her life.

He wanted to save Cindy. He didn't want his sister to become a demon who inflicted fear on others and was afraid that someone would kill her one day. He wanted to be Cindy's brother again and dispel her fear.

As he thought of this, Peter noticed a faint green light hanging beside him. He found that it was a small and exquisite green ring, which looked as beautiful as an emerald.

"Intelligent life has been identified. Peter Parker from Earth, you possess a strong willpower to overcome fear and a noble desire to dispel fear for others. Welcome to join the Green Lantern Corps."

"Please recite the oath."

...

Franklin withdrew his gaze. He was wondering who had such a strong willpower to snatch the right to use the Green Lantern Ring from him. Now he understood. It turned out to be Uncle Peter.

Not surprising then.

...

"Why? Why?" Cindy's messy long hair fluttered in the wind. "Why are you still standing in front of me!"

"I'm Cindy, here to atone for my sins."

Peter had a sad look on his face. He had completely changed his appearance. His original science and engineering outfit had disappeared, replaced by a tight black and green uniform with a lamp-like logo printed on the chest.

"If you want to atone your sins, then die for me!" Cindy's eyes were bloodshot, and her crazy look was imprinted in Peter's eyes, which made him feel very distressed.

"I will." Peter slowly raised his right hand, and a ring emitting green light was placed on his middle finger.

"But that's after I pull you out of your fear. It won't be too late to blame me then!"

Cindy was almost crazy. She roared, picked up the sledgehammer and rushed towards Peter. The scarlet light illuminated the night sky for a moment, as if a sun appeared in the sky.

Peter clenched his fists and poured his surging willpower into the Green Lantern Ring. At this moment, he felt that he was omnipotent!
