Sinestro Ring continues to be Best Ring, and for once I don't mean it in the context of him being a hilariously snarky bastard.

As you are now, can you still hate?

I do not believe so, Corpsman. But perhaps I will tolerate you hating for me.

Well, he once seemed to react to the violet light on direct exposure to the Star Sapphire, although his response was in Yellow as always.

Transition, grab John around the neck with my left arm, grab the headdress with my right hand and rip.

I release John and gently set him down on the floor- This- -as his Star Sapphire uniform flakes away in motes of violet light, being replaced by his armour. -isn't- I dismiss the construct around Shayera. While I understand the need to protect those you love there aren't any threats here. -me!

Gah! I hurl the headdress down onto the floor as far away from anyone as I can!

How much of a fully-functioning intelligent being is Sinestro Ring? He's certainly more than the standard ring VI. Wonder how Sinestro 50 set it up?

Self=Null

I look around as the boom tube closes behind me. The brief image I saw when aiding Teth Adom doesn't do it justice. The flicker as the fug that makes up Apokolips' breathable atmosphere causes the lights of a distant industrial complexes to twist and dance. The disturbingly grey-brown sky made of industrial effluence and reflected light from the fire pits. Apokolips doesn't actually have a sun. If that… Vertigo comic about suns being sophonts was correct, I suppose… They've just got better taste.
Self=Null

Either that or Father killed it.
Self=Null

The ring is filtering out most of the stench, for which I am quite grateful. In most cities there's a graduation of squalor; the slums on the outskirts, then tenements, middle class housing before you reach the splendour of the central business district. On Apokolips, Father had the Tower of Rage build in the middle of the Armagetto so that he could be just a little closer to the misery.
Self=Null

I angle my head down slightly as I float down the main boulevard towards the Tower of Rage. It's… Reasonably well maintained, the workers not daring do anything less than everything they can when within line of sight of Darkseid. As I glance from side to side I catch a glimpse of a few of them; haggard and half-starved wretches who freeze or flee the moment they see me. I try to avoid giving any indication that I've seen them; not because an Apokoliptian Elite necessarily would behave like that, but because I don't want them doing anything-.
Self=Null

"I die for Darkseid."
Self=Null

Anything like that. I keep my face carefully blank as the man lands chest first on the stone slab in front of me, the fall smashing everything. Death must have been near-instantaneous, though given where we are I doubt that physical death marks the end of his suffering.
Self=Null

I hate this place so much. Revulsion From Contradiction.

Steady, Corpsman.

<SNIP>

"Get up. You are not Lowlies; you are soldiers of Apokolips." "Feel pride in your strength!"

The raise themselves very slightly from the ground. The aero-troopers are elite soldiers, not beasts like the Parademons or techno-organic perversions like the Suicide Jockeys. Technically they're New Gods as well. Just far weaker ones than me. And not likely to grow stronger in a place where I can feel the Anti-Life in the very air.

you could argue for variations ANYWHERE between a ROM Engram and a full self-modifying upload with its emotional range affected by its "hardware" being extremely biased towards a certain range of the spectra,from what we've seen of it/him so far, to the point of quibbling for hours >.>

..i...kinda wish we saw (JLverse) Sinestro before his death-he seems...i dunno. more likeable/potentially turn-aroundable then the snippets of his comic selves ive seen here and there.

He's not. Zoat is making him a lot better.

Fog, I believe.

I stop and smile pleasantly up at him. "I am Grayven, son of Darkseid." The signs of his fear are obvious. The slight widening of his eyes. The movement of their mouth as they suddenly find it entirely bereft of saliva. "I am here to visit my father. Would you be so good as to-?"

Assuming the change from singular to group isn't a deliberate bit of fhatgn, "his", "he", "finds".

That's all Grayven can stands, he can't stands no more!
"Let"; "walk".
 
Grayven need no entities for he has the nagging Mother Box whom we shall never know what the heck she said and best bro Sinestro AI.
 
Ah, an evil so stark that even the morally grey, like Grayven and Sinestro, unite to oppose it.

You'd think that Grayven would appreciate such a clear case of someone needing righteous face punching. But admittedly, Darkseid would take a lot of punching.

"Grovel" is intransitive; should there be another verb here, to refer to them indistinctly saying something?
 
I remember a ways back when Grayven said that Apokolips was not worth conquering, as it is a bleak, dead world. Now we get to see how true that is... worse it is a world seemingly kept in motion by the will of Darkseid.

I recently read the comic where Orion seemingly killed Darkseid and tried to rule Apokolips, make it a better world. That did not go well, as issue by issue Orion became more and more like his father no matter his good intentions.

It's probably why taking out Darkseid is such a risky idea. Even if one did take out Darkseid, big if, Apokolips requires a ruler suited for it and will have one, one way or another.

For now Apokolips is Darkseid, and as always... Darkseid IS.

Had he heard them clearly, the line would have been something like 'they grovel platitudes into the floor'.
 
Looking at this update, and the possible events leading from it, I have to wonder if this is where Zoat gives Grayven a form of Enlightenment. And whether it will be Fear or Death if he does. Or, quite possibly, Rage.
 
One thing to remember, if that particular Marvel vs DC crossover is canon then Hal Jordan briefly wielded the Power Cosmic. A power that's know to act on subconscious desires when wielded by mere mortals that weren't modified by Galactus. Considering Hal Paralax had the power to create life and planets when he had the Power Cosmic, undoing all the deaths he caused as he exterminated all but one Green Lantern is quite possible.

Then again, retcons, you can't live with them... DC can't live without them.
