American comic book: My Father is Superman, am I just an NPC?

Chapter 225 The End of Darkseid?
The Ember form is definitely not a form that can be used easily.

Why use a dragon-slaying knife to kill a chicken?

Although today, thanks to the "selfless cooperation" of two "experienced babies," his total magical power has multiplied many times over with the blessings and prayers of so many people on Earth, making him an overnight millionaire, Ian Kent is a shrewd person who knows how to manage money and has had excellent economic management skills since childhood.

[Ember Form] is clearly a big spender who burns money (divine power) and lives. Using it to deal with these two "mere" single universe-level guys is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

It's a waste of talent, and a huge loss!
It's important to understand that Ian's transformation into the new generation Galactus using the "Body of the End" already involved "borrowing" the energy of the two supervillains, Belial and Ultron, to reach the maximum power he could withstand.

That is, the multiverse level. According to Ian, he is at the early stage of the multiverse and has reached the Great Perfection. This level of strength is already quite impressive in front of Trinity and Darkseid, who are not at their peak.

Therefore.

The two major villains fought him for so long, and he didn't even lose a single hair on his toenails. Now, he wants to transform, which is just because he's gained a new skill and is itching to try it out.

Of course, in order to fit the image of the God of Light that he has created, the Light Form passive skill brought by the new class can be considered a timely and powerful help to Ian.

"After all, the system is infatuated with me, even more so than with unrequited love." Ian was in a good mood, giving the system a friendly look and even encouraging it that it was just a slow starter.

Regardless of whether the system was shy and not responding, seeing Darkseid seemingly recover from its earlier shock, and with the world-destroying Omega Effect gathering again in its scarlet eyes, preparing to launch a new round of even more reckless attacks, Ian knew that the moment for the performance... no, the moment for the battle had arrived!
He instantly got into character, and the crooked smile on his face, reminiscent of the Dragon King, transformed into a complex expression that mixed pain, struggle, and final realization. Facing the non-existent yet omnipresent "live broadcast room," he used all his strength to let out an emotionally charged shout.

"Family members—!!!"

This shout, once again broadcast through the black box using live streaming technology that neither relied on magic nor science, reached every corner of the earth.

"I feel it! My Heart of Light... it has been reawakened!"

"It is you! It is your unwavering prayers and blessings! It is the light you lent me! It awakened the power that had been dormant deep within my soul!"

Ian remained silent about when he would repay the borrowed light, his face showing no emotion other than gratitude. His voice trembled, as if he were undergoing some kind of sacred baptism.

"Without you, there would be no miracle at this moment!"

Ian suddenly raised his massive arm, which exuded a devouring aura, but at that moment, a color that was completely out of place with his "star-devouring" posture began to emerge on that arm.

That was a pure and warm golden light!

"This punch embodies everyone's hopes! It embodies our love for our homeland!"

"It doesn't belong to me alone! It belongs to everyone who believes in the light!"

"You are with me!"

Ian is someone who knows how to provide emotional value. Although he took away everyone's faith and "light of hope," he also provided a sense of participation for all the Earthlings who watched his live stream.

Ian's powerful and emotional voice, like magical ripples, pierced through the barrier of the screen, precisely striking the heartstrings of every intelligent being watching the "live broadcast" around the world.

Monkeys, gorillas, any animal that looks somewhat like a human—Ian didn't spare any of them this time; they were all essentially forced to watch the live stream by him.

Well, what if, what if faith can be omnivorous?

"It doesn't belong to me alone! It belongs to everyone who believes in the light!" This statement, like the final catalyst, completely ignited the emotions that had been building up in the hearts of people around the world.

in Tokyo.

The high school girl who had been silently praying suddenly stood up, clenched her fists, and shouted at the top of her lungs at the screen, "Eun-sama! Go for it! Defeat them!"

"I'll sell my panties! To have a statue of you erected in Akihabara!"

Island nations certainly have plenty of seafood, and the flavors are indeed quite strong. The girl was deeply moved, tears welling up uncontrollably; she felt as if her heart was connected to the golden giant on the screen.

"Hero! With my light! Defeat the bad guys! You don't have to give it back to me!" On a farm in Kansas, the chubby little boy stopped crying. He wiped away his tears, and imitating the heroes on TV, he raised his little fist and waved it vigorously at the screen, little knowing that he might regret his boldness today when he grew up.

In the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, the children no longer just bared their teeth; they gathered together and, in their tender yet unified voices, chanted indistinct but powerful syllables over and over again—a small but pure expression of support for "Lord En-yi."

At the Arctic research station, researchers put down their data records and gathered around the screen, their expressions solemn, as if they too were holding their breath wondering if Ian would succeed.

"Don't lose!"

Even those traders on Wall Street, staring at the financial terminal screens, temporarily forgot about the fluctuating numbers, subconsciously clenching their fists and silently moving their lips.

"Kill those two aliens!"

Whether for reasons of financial stability or the possibility of getting home after get off work, this group of Wall Street elites also joined the ranks of those supporting Ian.

Faith isn't that pure.

But no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

They are the wolves of Wall Street, not the warriors of Wall Street, so they are also afraid that if Ian fails and the aliens successfully invade Earth, they will not only lose their lives but also their money.

The elderly, children, men, women, demons, and armed helicopter crews—perhaps for the first time today, they are united in spirit. No matter where they are or what they were doing, as long as they watch the golden figure on the screen, striving to "awaken" and fight for protection, they are deeply immersed in the moment.

Especially after Ian said that everyone was with him.

A wonderful sense of participation and empathy arises spontaneously.

Every ordinary person on Earth is either staring at a TV screen, a mobile phone screen, a computer screen, a Little Tyrant learning machine screen, or an electric airplane cup screen...

They seemed to have truly transcended space, standing shoulder to shoulder with the "God of Light, Eni T'Tken"! Their heartbeats were synchronized with the energy pulse of the golden giant on the screen!

Their breaths were held as the fists clenched together!
"We must win!"

Go for it, Giant of Light!

"He carries everyone's hopes, he's far ahead, he can do it! He can do it!" Countless shouts, countless thoughts, countless faint but pure beliefs, like trickling streams, rose from every corner of the earth, ignoring physical distance, penetrating dimensional barriers, and converging in the direction of Ian!

It is the most precious power of faith and spiritual light spontaneously provided by billions of living beings! This power is vast and pure, like a golden torrent surging towards Ian!
However, just as this immense power of faith was about to surge into Ian's body, adding to his imposing presence—Ian's enormous lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

"Again?!"

He cursed inwardly. Having learned from his previous experience of being "stealed by chiseling a hole in the wall," Ian was well-prepared this time! The moment he realized that Tiga and Golden Superman were hiding inside his "stomach" intercepting the power of faith!

He immediately took countermeasures!
In a flash, he made a difficult but necessary decision—under his mental control, the Earth, which he had protected with layers of energy like a miniature model, was instantly moved!

It was urgently relocated from a relatively "spacious" abdominal energy node to a more secretive, more unexpected, and theoretically absolutely safe place.

Inside Ian's invincible prostate.

It wasn't intentional; there was a reason for it. Every minute I spent thinking meant more light would be stolen, so Ian had to come up with this quick solution in a moment of inspiration.

This was a last resort, given the inherent biological limitations.

Although Ian is now enormous and highly energized, his basic life form template still leans towards human male. He has neither the uterus, which has the potential to be an "inner universe," nor any other extra organs, and he doesn't even have a "bag-man pocket" suitable for storing an entire planet.

After all, he wasn't born in Australia and can't share the same physiological structure as kangaroos and wombats.

The prostate was the most suitable "safe" he could find under limited conditions, with the greatest potential to "store things" and the most tightly sealed energy!

"I'm sorry to trouble you, my beloved Earth. Please make do there for now!" Ian silently expressed his apology to the Earth that was being relocated.

At least here, nerve endings are dense and energy circuits are complex, making it difficult for external perception and penetration!
Just as Ian had predicted, once Earth was moved to the "safe," the torrent of faith that would have been intercepted by the thief Tigalu finally flowed into Ian's body without any hindrance and completely!
[Absorbed a massive amount of pure faith power! Divine power limit increased!]

……

A series of notification sounds rang in Ian's mind. Although the new profession was upgraded to level seven in one go, Ian was not very happy about it.

His experience points came from the experience points gained from the [Ember of Darkness], which was completely contrary to Ian's imagination of obtaining the [Essence of Light] and gaining [Ember of Radiance] experience points.

"No way! System, are you kidding me? I'm clearly saving the Earth from evil villains right now!" Ian couldn't understand what was wrong with the system.

Is she trying to attract his attention in such an abstract way? That's too much! She's already using her high beams, how can she assume he's doing something inappropriate?
Ian was extremely dissatisfied and gritted his teeth, but he had already gathered the energy, and the die was cast. Before he mastered the "Global Oblivion" ability, there was absolutely no chance for retakes. Therefore, even though he was extremely dissatisfied with the system's judgment, he could only suppress his emotions.

I saw.

Ian, now glowing, assumed a classic and powerful starting stance, his fist clenched, and endless light energy converged on his fist like rivers flowing into the sea!
"Take this! Evil! This is—"

Ian took a deep breath.

He shouted out the name of a move he had casually played because he was in a bad mood.

"—Earth-wide Fist!!!"

It's not really such a heinous act of piracy. After all, it's Ian's father's technique, so his imitation can only be called early inheritance.

【Throne of Chaos】—Form Switch! Light Form!
Om-! ! !
An indescribable, vast, and pure divine power of light erupted from Ian's enormous "star-devouring" body like a supernova explosion! The dark stardust body that originally symbolized devouring and destruction was now rendered incomparably sacred and dazzling gold!

The warm yet terrifyingly powerful light could even blind everyone.

He still maintained the enormous size of a planet devourer, but the aura he exuded had undergone a complete transformation, as if he were a god of light descending upon the world!

This is precisely where Ian's multiple professions support and help each other, forming an incredibly powerful unity—different profession skills can perfectly enhance and override his original form abilities! The size and energy base of [Galactic Devourer], combined with the ultimate characteristics of [Light Form], produces a terrifying effect where one plus one is greater than two!
Ian's golden fist, which was as large as a small star and contained endless light energy, was thrown at Darkseid, who was charging at him head-on. It was a simple, direct and unpretentious punch!
There was no sound, for sound is meaningless in the dark dimension. But that fist intent, that pure and ultimate power of light representing "purification" and "protection," had transformed into a tangible torrent of energy, tearing through dimensional space and instantly engulfing Darkseid, whose body resembled an insect before Ian!
"what?!"

For the first time, Darkseid's eternally unchanging rocky face revealed an expression of utter horror!
Before the fist even arrived, his battle-hardened body, which was almost immune to most energy attacks, already felt an unprecedented stinging and dissolving sensation!
Yes, Darkseid's dark divine power, which he had always been proud of and which was enough to resist the backlash of the Omega Effect, was like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun in the face of this pure light!

It began to evaporate and dissolve rapidly!
The very foundation of his power is being fundamentally undermined!

"Damn!!!"

Darkseid roared in extreme resentment, desperately activating the Omega Effect to try to resist and distort the light, only to find that his power of rules was so pale and powerless in the face of this magnificent light!

"You've been hiding your strength all along!!! No! This isn't the power that Earthlings gave you!" These were Darkseid's last thoughts and roar.

The golden light completely engulfed Darkseid's figure. Those crimson eyes, representing darkness and destruction, were ultimately annihilated in the endless light.

What are truly the most nourishing foods?

Darkseid proved himself.

A frantic, continuous series of system notifications rang in Ian's ears.
