I think that even a full Paulphidian merge would find such a thing challenging.

I believe Grayven made very slow progress, but he did make progress.
That means that OL can annihilate it

Either the ring was rounding down, or the progress was so small as to be beyond its ability to measure.
At least he's having fun....
Welp.
And now he's fighting a bona fide invasion of alien mind controllers in the sky of a major American city.
That makes....the third mass incursion by non-human intelligences he's had to fight in the last year?
Looks like someone should be hitting the League button.
And call in Chubby and his brothers; the situation is serious enough that demons in the sky are the least of anyone's worries..
But it really does point at the irresponsibility of the Light that no one thought it was worth delivering a FedEx message to the Themysciran embassy asking Diana to have her friends look out for Star Hunters.
I would still love to find out how the Star Conquerors knew that delivery was to the Gotham office.
I would love to know how the Light knew.

Probably too busy planning into turning Star City into Starro City and their football to to the Starro City facehuggers.
Anyway, am I the only person wondering what would happen if Cornwall ate the magic out of a starrotech possessed person?

I think Savage is vulnerable to brainwashing and forgetting. So yes, mirroring.

well either parts of the hivemind can be sectioned off from each other and can be assimilated or they can't and the whole thing can be TPKed by the Sword of Second and Third, either one works for me but not having one of them is cheaty bullshit.

I wouldn't take it as a given that the Sword can kill an interstellar scale hive-mind. Especially since it works by magic and magic doesn't cross between worlds well.
Regardless of whether or not their advanced ring AI can block that sort of thing, they can't do it because it's clearly against the rules. They're not allowed to do that.I don't think there's any malware that would stop a Lantern from starting a rock collection and grabbing a small one any time they went off world.

Against most foes, the Sword is only as useful as a very sharp blade. Telepathy isn't magic, so it's unlikely that it would be particularly helpful here.

the Ring assimilates works via magic(magitek), the Sword kills via souls, souls are made out of magic, the assimilation speed was, we are assuming, watered down because the part that was being assimilated was conected to the rest of the Hivemind(Hivesoul?), the Sword kills by attacking all of whatever-it's-being-used-ons soul through its connection to whatever it's controling. or to put it another way
i would argue that if the Sword can't kill through the connection it shouldn't have stopped the assimilation, if not the telepathy itself then whatever being one mind in more then one body does to its soul, if anything it not being direct magic could make it worse for the poor bastard.
edit: though i would concede that it could come down to a matter of power levels.

Not so; it's simply different mechanisms. The Sword is useful against beings that exist primarily as magic and create corporeal avatars whose death would normally not harm the being itself, simply by making avatar death count as real. The Star Conquerors aren't such an entity, simply mundane telepaths, regardless of how assimilation affects them.
In short, it's not power levels, it's just two independent effects that happen to look kind of similar.

If it's this bad for "Easy Mode", I wonder how Blue Lantern is doing...
Starro is probably only thing stopping evil Green Lanterns from conquering all universe of course with the help of valiant reach scarrabs, "halping" people by facehugging and controling them.If it's this bad for "Easy Mode", I wonder how Blue Lantern is doing...
Time to go full lethal I think. Would Crumblers or a Maser work better against TK barriers?
Also Paul is really slipping if he didn't expect evil scientists to have a monster in the basement.

"I don't know. I've never tested them against anything like this before. M'gann has trouble blocking attacks with a minimal physical component, but the Green Lantern Corps' records show that Star Conquerors don't."
"In my defence, they're not actually evil scientists. They're just mind controlled. If we'd had a few minutes more we would have checked the building again."

You know that reminds me, I wonder how Alpha Centurion would fit in this story.
For those unfamiliar with the character- He's a 2d century roman who won the right to be Rome's representative to the alien Virmiru.
Given training and high tech equipment he was sent back to Earth, only to discover that millenia has passed and that his beloved Roman Empire ended a long long time ago.
In his original incarnation he was a Superman replacement- the hero of Metropolis who had a big statue of him from before he came back from the dead thanks to his pool of aqua vita (if memory serves that is what they called it), but he later showed up in regular New Earth continuity basically the same.
The guy had the worst luck, he found out that his alien patrons actually only pretend to be friendly and are actually interstellar conquerors that left a Virmiru on Earth for the last 19 centuries to figure out how to conquer it.
They have healing technology able to resurrect the dead at least under certain circumstances and can produce supersuits capable of going toe to toe with Superman as an equal, have had since the days of the Roman Empire to come up with a foolproof plan, and unlike the Reach perhaps no one knows about them.
The Reach might have superior tech if Zoat gives them their comic book levels, because in Young Justice their feats hardly screamed "I've got a gun to take out the Spectre" level of impressiveness.
Yes both of the main versions of it, undoubtedly blue lantern Paul ain't that lucky.

Does mainline OL even have that sword? I thought only renegade OL had it

Yes, the Paragon has it too. He diced up the First of the Fallen with it, remember?

I do not remember.
I remember grayven doing it, and IIRC mainline OL solved things too fast and too neatly so he didn't get a hold of that sword.

Half that episode was him grabbing the Sword and running to keep it away from Sabbac.
