It felt as if an insect had burrowed into his brain, not only attempting to pry into his mental world but also trying to control his actions.
"Kyle!"
Seeing Eric standing motionless in the air, Wonder Woman abandoned Aresa, who she was fighting, and rushed towards Eric.
But her movements were quickly blocked by Aresa.
"I am your enemy now!"
Aresa swung the venomous snakes she had created in her hands, attacking Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman had no choice but to temporarily focus her attention on the Green Lantern in front of her.
Wielding the Vulcan Sword, she shouted and slashed at the other party.
Her volatile personality returned to her body; holding a shield in one hand and the Vulcan Sword in the other, she charged at Aresa using Greek fighting tactics.
Aresa was immediately engulfed in a storm of attacks.
"Thud!"
In a moment of carelessness, she was struck by the enraged Wonder Woman and slammed to the ground with a bang.
But Aresa's venomous snakes also bound Wonder Woman's feet, pulling her closer.
"Whoosh!"
On the other side, Shazam also noticed Eric's abnormality, gritting his teeth and activating his speed, flying behind Thomas, raising his fist to swat away the chains the other party had thrown, grabbing the other party's clothes, and throwing him to the ground.
Although he subdued the bird-headed Thomas, more Green Lanterns rushed up, entangling Shazam, who was preparing to rescue Eric.
Shazam could only temporarily be surrounded by the overwhelming numbers.
Eric's mind was controlled at this moment, unable to move his entire body, and could only watch helplessly as Kilowog approached him.
But before Kilowog, a squirrel jumped onto Eric's shoulder.
"A squirrel?!"
Eric could still speak at this moment, staring at the squirrel Green Lantern with a surprised expression.
"That's right, he's a squirrel, but you always underestimate squirrels!"
Kilowog glanced at the squirrel on Eric's shoulder, a mocking expression on his face, and said to Eric.
Eric looked at the squirrel Green Lantern, recalling the information he had learned in his previous life.
The squirrel Green Lantern Chip, a resident of Sector 1014, the planet Vim, where society was similar to humans, but the residents were all squirrels.
Chip was originally an ordinary Vimian, but when the evil villain Doctor Ubex wanted to rule Vim, Chip bravely resisted the invasion, and was captured.
Doctor Ubex sentenced Chip to death, but while Chip was awaiting execution, a Green Lantern Corps Guardian appeared before him; it turned out that the original Green Lantern of Sector 1014 had also tried to stop Doctor Ubex, but failed and died, so the Guardians retrieved the Green Lantern Ring and gave it to Chip, recruiting him into the Corps.
The information that appeared in Eric's mind above was the other party's origin story.
The squirrel Green Lantern's abilities included various forms of mental power, such as telepathy, hypnotism (including projecting plans into the subject's mind onto blueprints), and radiating and producing certain types of radiation to affect the mind.
Although his experience seemed similar to hero stories in the human world, not all heroes have perfect endings.
This "little warrior," after experiencing the ups and downs of life, eventually died in a traffic accident.
Some also say it was an accident deliberately arranged by Sinestro.
The squirrel Green Lantern—Chip—standing on Eric's shoulder, his claws glowing with the emerald light of the Green Lantern Ring.
He rubbed his claws and said to the immobile Eric, "I am indeed small, but I believe small, generally speaking, is often as powerful as you, but you never consider it! Are you the strongest hero on this Earth? But it doesn't seem so now."
He floated in front of Eric, level with Eric's gaze.
Meeting Eric's gaze, Chip triumphantly extended the claw wearing the Green Lantern Ring, pointing at Eric, and said, "Now, I am thinking, I, who am so small, am firing at the synapses in your brain. What do you think now? Will you regret losing to such a small me? Or will you regret your arrogance?"
"No!"
Eric shook his head, "I'm thinking, if you go deeper, what will you see in my mind?"
"Hmm?!"
Chip looked at Eric with wide, confused eyes, not understanding what he meant.
But his curiosity was piqued, and he decided to continue exploring Eric's mental world.
His mental power was strong, and he liked to explore the enemy's mental domain in this way.
But the next second, his expression changed!
A look of terror appeared on his face, as if he had seen something that made him tremble with fear.
His body also began to shake rapidly.
"Pink Hippo" Kilowog didn't know what happened to Chip, and looked at the squirrel with surprised eyes.
Eric, however, in Kilowog's stunned gaze, reached out and grabbed the trembling squirrel.
Kilowog was completely bewildered by what happened in that instant.
He didn't know what happened, only that the squirrel suddenly "fell ill," and Eric had broken free from the squirrel's mental control.
Did Chip see something that terrified him greatly?!
Or was it that this cunning man in front of him wasn't controlled at all, but merely made the squirrel lower its guard?!
Eric ignored Kilowog, whose mind was racing with wild conjectures, and grabbed the squirrel's head, holding him in his hand.
He stared at the tiny squirrel with cold eyes.
"You like to use your tiny mental power to probe my consciousness?"
Eric looked at Chip, whose eyes were filled with terror, and said coldly, "Very well, since you like to pry so much, then I will send you to a world full of spirits and nightmares!"
Then Eric violently threw Chip to the ground.
With a thud, Chip's body slammed onto the ground, raising countless dust and causing severe cracks in the ground!
Fortunately, his body was protected by the Ring, so he didn't suffer severe injuries.
Even so, he was still thrown into a dizzying state.
His previous triumph had completely turned into fear.
Chip tried to get up from the ground, but the ground beneath him suddenly turned into a puddle of black mud.
Countless black tentacles emerged from it, wrapping around Chip's panicked feet, pulling him down into the ground.
Chip could feel the unknown horror below and immediately prepared to use his Green Lantern Ring to conjure energy to dissolve these tentacles!
Although his mind was severely damaged, his will to fight had not been completely lost.
But to his horror, he discovered something terrifying:
His Green Lantern Ring was gone!
