Did it succeed?
This question couldn't help but surface in Sinestro's mind.
To ensure Dane's Death in a single explosion, the super bomb Sinestro manifested was based on an antimatter annihilation bomb designed to destroy Planet Surfaces and cause widespread destruction.
Its power was even greater than that of a hydrogen bomb on Earth; Dane had never directly faced a bomb of this yield before.
At the center of the explosion, he was finally injured this time. His red battle suit was burned to a crisp, and his White wizard robe turned to ashes.
Dane covered his head with both hands, his legs curled up, and his entire body was shrunken into a ball.
Seeing his miserable state, Sinestro thought he had succeeded, or at least severely wounded him.
So he constructed a light sword and flew close, intending to deliver the final blow.
But just as the light sword was about to stab Dane, he, who had been motionless, suddenly extended his palm and squeezed the light sword.
Dane lifted his pitch-black head. Although his face was completely black, his hair was still there; he hadn't been blown into a bald state.
He now felt pain everywhere in his body. Since transforming into Shazam, this feeling had been long-forgotten.
Sinestro was shocked that he hadn't died and that his vitality still seemed strong.
He pressed the hilt with his other hand, and the light sword grew towards Dane's chest.
Dane shifted the light sword to the side, and it grazed past his shoulder.
He raised his other hand, instantly severing the light sword, and conveniently stabbed the piece he held into Sinestro's body.
This was something he had constructed, so it was naturally useless, but Dane's powerful strength still sent Sinestro flying.
Dane clenched his fists and performed a stretching motion.
Lightning generated from within, and charred marks fell off in pieces wherever the electric arc passed.
Once all the melanin faded, a brand new battle suit appeared underneath.
Lightning could heal Shazam's injuries, but this method was like using mana to restore health, making the lightning divine power weaker for a short period.
Although his other divine powers were still abundant, pure physical damage would be hard-pressed to kill Sinestro, who had the support of endless energy.
Moreover, from the situation just now, Sinestro was clearly intentionally guarding against the Kiss of Death.
"Alas, I can't be a warrior, nor an assassin, so I'll just have to return to my original profession."
With that, Dane pulled out the Wizard Scepter.
Stop him!!!
Parallax shrieked in Sinestro's mind, startling him.
The Scepter's pure White crystal suddenly turned Yellow, and in Sinestro's shocked gaze, Yellow light illuminated the Scepter.
Besides the yet-to-be-born Flash, no speedster in this Universe could evade the speed of light.
So when Sinestro saw the Yellow light, he had already been struck by the Yellow light.
The Yellow light connected Dane's Scepter and Sinestro, and then a giant phantom detached from Sinestro's body—that was Parallax.
"No—!"
Sinestro reached out, and Parallax also tried its best to respond.
But the Scepter's power was too overbearing, still tearing Parallax out of Sinestro's body and drawing it into the crystal.
A black aura emerged in the center of the crystal, swirling around a tiny Yellow insect.
The aura of Death could not kill Parallax, but it could continuously inflict pain upon it.
Having lost Parallax, Sinestro could no longer rely on his own power to incite Mogo's fear.
This finally gave the enormous Green Lantern a chance to counterattack.
Mogo once again lit up its green lantern ring symbol, and a green torrent swept through the Universe.
This time, it seemed to have made up its mind; the Yellow Impurity was no longer so difficult to break through.
Under the green energy flow, countless warships cracked open, and green light penetrated through the fissures.
Although the Korugar citizens utilized the Yellow Impurity of the green lantern ring, it was clear that the interior of the warships could not all be Yellow-painted.
Therefore, under the invasion of the green energy, the casualties among the crew were heavy.
Sinestro saw the situation once again take a sharp turn for the worse. He was about to order his subordinates to activate their final measures, but at this point, he was no longer the Parallax who could endlessly use Yellow light energy as he had been just moments ago.
So he didn't notice that Dane had arrived behind him at some unknown point.
By the time he reacted, the Kiss of Death in Dane's hand had already pierced his chest.
The power of Death injected into his body, and Sinestro felt his life force rapidly draining away.
Sinestro, who had brought fear to countless people, finally felt fear himself.
He desperately clutched Dane's hand: "No, it shouldn't be like this… I… I still have so many things unfinished… Order… ultimate order…"
In the last moments before his Death, his heart still yearned for his unfulfilled ideals.
Dane respected such an idealistic person, but as an enemy, no matter how much he admired him, he would never let him go.
Since Sinestro was killed by the Kiss of Death, his soul naturally belonged to Dane.
But as he collected his soul, Dane suddenly felt his thoughts seem to skip a beat.
It was as if, in that instant, he was in someone else's time-stop domain. This discovery made him immediately open all his senses.
But it was ineffective; he could vaguely perceive something, but couldn't clearly see it.
So Dane discarded his five senses as a "person" and used his intuition as a "God" to explore and perceive.
Then, in a void, he "saw" that "person."
You are truly greedy.
She said, her voice sounding like a woman.
Although you have gained the authority of the God of Death, this power is limited to Earth, you know~
Dane tried to speak here: As long as a person is killed by the Kiss of Death, their soul should belong to me. I haven't violated any rules.
He probably guessed who this "person" was.
Sly.
The woman seemed to smile, then turned to leave.

Wait! Dane suddenly called out to her.
In the blur, Dane seemed to see her turn back.
A very strange feeling lingered in his heart; he seemed to have some memory of this woman's appearance, but when was it?
What do you want to say by stopping me? she asked softly.
Dane tried hard to look at her face, but it was hidden in Shadow and unclear.
I want to see your face.
She seemed to be silent for a moment, then said with a hint of melancholy: People can only see me twice in their lives, Dane.
If I let you see clearly, you will die.
I am the God of Death! Dane did not agree with her statement.
But even the God of Death can die, aren't you well aware of that? Your authority was taken from a God of Death who had died.
Dane's will caused a tremor in space, and green light instantly illuminated the dark space.
It was a green lantern ring. In this void space, Dane's divine power could not function.
But his will could, so he accepted the lantern ring's call.
Thus, he lit the green lantern ring here, also illuminating the surprised face in front of him.
It was a very delicate face, but unnaturally pale.
Her attire was no different from a mortal's, with a touch of Gothic style.
There was no so-called divine aura or any other messy things about her.
But you just couldn't ignore her, ignore her beauty, ignore her eyes, ignore her every move.
Dane had already recognized her identity.
Death, the second of the Endless Family, the embodiment of the ultimate end of all things, and the highest Boss of the God of Death's divine office.
She also had a common name, Telet. Dane hadn't expected that killing a Sinestro would attract the attention of this one.
Dane looked closely at her face, then suddenly smiled: "You see, I'm seeing your face for the second time, but I haven't died."
Death said helplessly: "Do you know? According to the rules, I could actually take you away right now."
"Then why don't you do it?" Dane smiled: "Perhaps then I could stay and accompany you."
"Aren't you afraid of Death?" Death looked at him curiously.
Dane stared at her face; Death's face had a peculiar allure.
Seeing you, I suddenly feel that Death can actually be a good thing.
Death smiled again. Contrary to popular belief, Death was actually very amiable.
Dane could feel a hand brush across his face, and he felt as if something had been added to his body.
But upon closer inspection, he felt nothing.
You should leave, Dane.
Will we meet again?
Death stood there quietly, with a gentle expression.
Yes, everyone will... Dane's consciousness returned to reality..
