American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 127: A-Zu's Psychological Shadow

As Xiao Xian crushed Pennywise's heart, three continuously rotating spots of light spiraled up and flew high into the sky.

These three spots of light are Pennywise's true body - the Death Ray. Crushing Pennywise's heart can only kill Pennywise possessed by the Death Ray. The Death Ray itself is a higher-level cosmic evil god and will not be harmed by Pennywise's death.

Just like when humans play computer games, if a character in the game is killed, it will not cause the death or injury of the person controlling the game character. Of course, whether there is psychological damage is another matter.

Seeing the three spots of light flying higher and higher, Xiao Xian had no intention of stopping them. As the saying goes, don't chase a desperate enemy. It's good enough to knock the death ray offline. It would be bad if he provoked the other party and caused the other party to create another account to fight with him.

Along with Pennywise's death, Xiao Xian also heard the prompt that the mission was completed, but Xiao Xian did not feel any changes in himself at all.

"This shouldn't be the case. It's impossible that no one is afraid of me. Could it be that the level of the death ray is too high or the system is not powerful enough?" Xiao Xian looked at his palm in confusion, then closed his eyes and felt it. There was no change at all. Even when Xiao Xian emitted thermal vision, it felt no different from before.

"What's going on?" Xiao Xianfei came out of the cave. The towers that had been floating just now also lost their strange floating properties with the death of Pennywise and fell down one after another. The stone man looked around in confusion and shouted uncertainly when he saw Xiao Xianfei coming out.
"Xiao Xian?"

"Stone man." Xiao Xian was about to say something when he suddenly felt a faint fear emanating from the stone man. As soon as Xiao Xian thought about it, the fear emanating from the stone man was absorbed into his body and stored. Xiao Xian felt that he could consume the power of fear to provide himself with energy.

It seems that unlike Tomie's absorption of hatred, Pennywise's absorption of fear has a distance requirement. In this respect, it feels not as good as Tomie's absorption of hatred, but Pennywise's fear absorption can be stored, which Xiao Xian thinks is very nice.

After absorbing the stone man's fear, Xiao Xian seemed to see a blurry picture. In the picture, Xiao Xian vaguely saw that he used thermal vision to break through the stone man's defense and kill him. It seemed that the stone man was afraid that he would break through his defense and burn him to death.

As expected, Pennywise's ability is more than just fear absorption as written on the surface. Xiao Xian also inherited Pennywise's ability to see other people's fear, but the picture is blurry. I don't know if it will improve after the other party's fear level increases, or after the total amount of fear Xiao Xian absorbs increases.

Of course, it may also need to be upgraded. Tomie's Super Regeneration and Super Charm can be upgraded, so there is no reason why Pennywise's abilities cannot be upgraded.

"Where's Pennywise? How did you find this place?" The stone man found a coat from a pile of garbage and put it on, then asked Xiao Xian in the sky.

"Dead, I killed him." Xiao Xian looked at the stone man and said, "I heard from Pennywise that you slept with many girls and even tried to steal Mr. Fantastic's girl? Are you brave?"

"No, you won't believe weird stories, right? I'm a superhero." The Stone Man quickly shook his head, but he was very panicked in his heart. If Pennywise was really framing him, he wouldn't be so panicked.

The Thing had been defeated by Pennywise a long time ago, and had no idea that Superman would be defeated by Pennywise later, so he didn't react much to Xiao Xian defeating Pennywise.

After all, in the Stone Man's opinion, Xiao Xian's ability can barely be considered a small superman, so it is reasonable for him to defeat the monster.

"Really~" Xiao Xian noticed that the pattern contained in the Stone Man's new fear changed from his laser eyes attacking the Stone Man to the scene of the Stone Man being thrown into prison and being chased by reporters. It seems that the Stone Man is now afraid that Xiao Xian will expose the matter. "Of course." The Stone Man said seriously. Although he was confident that he had done it perfectly and destroyed all the evidence, Pennywise was weird, and weirdness could not be judged by common sense.

"Okay then." Xiao showed a meaningful smile, which made the Stone Man feel uneasy.

"Latest news! This is amazing! Superhero Xiao Xian is not dead! He faked his death to trick Pennywise, and found an opportunity to seize the clown's weird weakness and kill him! He avenged himself and his good brother Superman!" The female reporter shouted at the camera.

"What?!" Superman was holding a bottle of milk and watching the news on TV with a puzzled expression. He originally thought that Xiao Xian was dead, so he didn't take the content of Xiao Xian killing him in the illusion seriously. But now Xiao Xian not only didn't die, but also killed Pennywise, which made Superman feel very bad.

Reason tells Superman that Xiao Xian is no match for him, but Xiao Xian can even kill Pennywise, so who knows? Right?
Moreover, Superman heard from Wayne Group's intelligence personnel that Xiao Xian demonstrated the ability of thermal vision in the SHIELD base.

"Ahhhhhh~!!! Xiao Xian, you are awesome! You are the strongest superhero! The protector of New York! Superman and the Hulk are not even worthy of carrying shoes for my idol. They are totally controlled by that weirdo. If Xiao Xian hadn't killed Pennywise, I dare not imagine what New York would become next. You are worthy of being my idol, woooo~~"

On the TV screen, a female fan was being interviewed with a happy smile on her face. Superman doubted that she might not be so happy even if her father came back to life.

Looking at the female fan on TV, Superman crushed the bottle in his hand! A red light flashed in his eyes, and then he destroyed the TV in front of him with a hot gaze.

On the other side, Xiao Xian, who was working on a puzzle on the balcony of his home, suddenly stopped and turned to look behind him. Superman was standing behind him, with his hands behind his back and a friendly smile on his face.

The reason why Xiao Xian sensed Superman's coming was very simple, that is, Xiao Xian sensed Superman's fear. Although it was very faint, it was of very high quality, far better than that stone man. Through Superman's fear, Xiao Xian vaguely saw a person killing Superman with thermal vision. If Xiao Xian was not mistaken, the person who killed Superman in that blurry picture seemed to be himself?

"I heard that you killed Pennywise?" Superman walked up to Xiao Xian like an old friend, looked at him kindly and said, "Everyone on the Internet has a very good opinion of you now."

"It's okay. Killing Pennywise wasn't all good. I got infected with some bad things too."

Xiao Xian pointed to the puzzle symbol in his hand and said, it just so happened that SHIELD had told Pennywise the name of Jigsaw, so Xiao Xian simply said that he had contracted Jigsaw's weirdness because he killed Pennywise, and used this to get information about Jigsaw's weirdness from SHIELD, as well as benefits. After all, this thing could be considered an industrial injury anyway.

"What is this? Your tattoo?" With a sneer, Superman followed Xiao Xian's gaze and said disdainfully when he saw the puzzle marks on Xiao Xian's body.

"A strange mark, a highly contagious strangeness. SHIELD used it to fight Pennywise, and I was infected when I was fighting Pennywise." Xiao Xian shrugged helplessly and said, "By the way, why did you come to see me?"

“???!!!!” Weird? And contagious? ? ! ! The smile on Superman’s face, who had a psychological trauma against weirdness caused by the two weirds Sadako and Pennywise, froze instantly.
