I became light in American comics

A powerful electric current coursed through his body, causing it to convulse violently, the shaking creating intense tremors. His eyes rolled back, and he mumbled incoherently, uttering words that were impossible to understand.

Norland and his Almeric warriors were shocked, their expressions seeming to say, "This is something I can see for free... no, these brutal Earthlings dare to torture our noble Almeric princess like this?"

Were they beating a princess? They were practically slapping the face of Almerík!

Norland's face immediately darkened, and he glared fiercely at Shen You.

"Stop." Norland tried to project the authority of his kingdom's representative. "No one in this galaxy has ever dared to provoke us Almeric."

You'd better stop right now, or else we...

"How are the preparations?"

Shen You looked directly at the other person.

Norland opened his mouth, and at this moment he had already clenched up at least seven standard tough words for the negotiating table, but when he met the bright, deep eyes opposite him and felt the invisible yet suffocating pressure, his mind went completely blank.

With an expression that looked like "the page is lost" on his face, he spent ages loading the page before finally managing to squeeze out a single sentence.

"Otherwise, we'll ask again."

Norland involuntarily shrank his head, suddenly feeling a head shorter than the other person.

A second later, he involuntarily added another sentence.

".Please."

Shen You waved his hand, and the transmission of the hostage's image was interrupted.

Meanwhile, far away on Earth, Maxima was still groaning in genuine pain, muttering, "Evil people, go ahead and do your thing. But the great princess will not yield."

Kara, standing next to her, looked at her with disdain: "Stop acting, we stopped filming a long time ago."

"Eh?"

Maxima's pained expression vanished instantly, and she sat up abruptly, looking around: "It's over already? So fast?"

"."

Noland asked helplessly, "What exactly do you want?"

"Nothing much, just a few questions. What agreement did you Almeric reach with the machine hunters? What are your plans for Earth?"

Norland said weakly, "We below don't know about these things. It's basically all being discussed by Minister Zazo and those machine-brained leaders. They call him 'Grandmaster,' but nobody knows his real name."

His name sounds impressive, but he's actually quite ugly. Honestly, I've never liked him; half his face looks like a skull, neither human nor ghost.

Shen You pondered. Half his face resembled a skull. A grandmaster, the leader of the machine hunters—was there such a person?

The quantum brain with its photographic memory started working, and old comic book pages from an incredibly distant place gradually appeared.

Wait a minute, could it be...?

A somber, cold voice rang out on the public communications channel.

"I don't know about Almericus, but on Earth, speaking ill of allies behind their backs is not a pleasant thing."

Everyone looked up and saw only the Machine Hunter.

A vast number of machine hunters, their countless red eyes gleaming against the dark backdrop of space, stood out starkly. They approached silently, surrounding the negotiation area from all sides.

"You...you're here!?"

Norland's expression changed drastically.

“But you’re not. I just spoke with headquarters,” Norland exclaimed. “They clearly said you were on Almeric a minute ago. Even a faster-than-light engine couldn’t move that fast.”

The cold voice rang out again, this time preceded by a burst of laughter.

"Faster than light speed? Spatial distance is no longer a limitation for me. Thanks to my allies in Apocalypse, I have broadened my horizons and learned a lot. Now, even Superman is no longer a threat to me."

You want to know who I am? Very well, then remember this name well. My name is…

Amidst countless machine hunters, a figure slowly descended. As it fell from the starry sky, only a majestic silhouette could be seen in the starlight, with a faintly visible dark blue uniform, a fiery red cloak, and even the classic red underwear worn on the outside, and the huge "S" on its chest was even faintly visible.

Only when he revealed his entire body could people see that it was something completely different.

He possessed a superhuman suit and even a superhuman physique, yet he wasn't entirely a living being. Only a small portion of his face remained human; the rest was cold metal, like a mechanical skeleton, its mechanical eyes flashing with a dangerous red light.

"Mechanical Superman".

"As expected." Shen You, who had already made the connection a second ago, was not surprised at all.

The story of the mechanical superhero is also a tragedy, and the origin of this tragedy seems somewhat familiar.

His real name is Hank Henshaw, a brilliant scientist on Earth and a member of the crew of the spacecraft Excalibur.

The story goes that he took his wife and two close friends to space in a spaceship, only to encounter unusual solar radiation. Excessive sun exposure caused genetic mutations, resulting in both physical and mental alterations.

Two best friends, one whose body was reconstructed by radiation into an energy being capable of flight and fire-breathing, and the other who absorbed spaceship wreckage and rocks to become an incredibly strong stone monster, while Hank's wife's body began to penetrate into other dimensions, sometimes becoming ethereal and invisible.

But as the saying goes, different people have different fates, and comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable. A Marvel scientist had the exact same experience, but after the mutation, nothing happened to him. His career took off, he had beautiful women, he had fame and status, and he even owned an entire building in New York City with their team's name printed on it.

Both Hank and his friend mutated after sunbathing, but neither of them survived; both died because the mutation went out of control.

After Hank's physical body perished, he developed an electronic consciousness, flew out of Earth, traveled through interstellar space, learned a great deal of knowledge, and used alien technology to rebuild himself into this half-human, half-machine superhuman body, claiming to be a mechanical superman returning to seek revenge on Superman.

The reason given is that when the four of them crashed back to Earth and mutated into monsters, Superman intervened to stop them from causing chaos in the streets while they were searching for rescue. Hank insists that Superman's interference robbed them of precious rescue time; otherwise, his wife and friend might have been saved at Star Labs.

“I knew it all along. I knew I couldn’t trust you Almeric cowards. Neither you nor that Zazo are people who can accomplish great things.”

The mechanical superhero slowly landed and gave Shen You a cold look.

"I've learned quite a bit about you lately. 'Ultraman,' I haven't actually gained any knowledge about your race during my travels through the stars, but that doesn't matter."

I have now found a powerful ally, possessing the ultimate power in the universe. No one can stop my revenge against Superman and against Earth. Anyone who stands in my way will meet a demise!

The moment the last word was uttered, a storm arose in the starry sky.

What appeared next was none other than the entity of fear, the Parallax Beast, the yellow-lighted creature on the emotional spectrum!

A body constructed of golden light was shrouded in swirling, dark yellow smoke, appearing and disappearing indistinctly. Golden eyes shone from the thick fog, bringing an indescribable sense of oppression to everyone present even before they appeared.

The godlike oppression left even the allied Almerik soldiers momentarily stunned. An overwhelming fear surged within them like an instinct, as if their souls were being gripped and sucked into a vortex of terror, growing colder and colder until their brains felt as if they were dead.

Parallax has been sealed in the antimatter universe since ancient times.

The Guardian's cage made it hungrier and hungrier, and over millions of years, its hatred for the little blue men and their minions, the Green Lantern Legion, grew stronger every day.

And now, it is finally free!

Parallax has sworn never to return to that damned antimatter universe again. It will sweep across the cosmos, annihilate those foolish guardians, extinguish the abominable green light forever, spread fear throughout the universe, savor the dying terror of every living being before devouring them all.

Ok?

As soon as the parallax monster emerged from its hundreds-of-meters-long body, it immediately and involuntarily locked its gaze on a strange creature with a red and silver body that emitted certain familiar fluctuations.

Parallax was puzzled.

Have I been gone for too long? When did such a strange species appear in the universe?

And this fluctuation, this smell... it feels like I've seen it somewhere before.

Parallax Monster: !?

Its tiny eyes suddenly narrowed, triggering some extremely unpleasant associations.

It's the only one on the emotional spectrum that's even more absurd for it than its restrained relationship with the green light.

A type of light that is extremely rare and has been extinct in the universe for billions of years.

hope.

If we were to use a relationship analogy to describe the relationship between the yellow light of fear and the blue light of hope on the emotional spectrum.

It's roughly like the relationship between the scissors and the rock in Rock-Paper-Scissors.

The mechanical superhero was completely oblivious to the fact that the giant he had shaken out was something amiss, and was still laughing loudly: "See this? This is the terrifying entity in the universe, one of the Seven Lantern Beasts."

Where are you going later?

In the blink of an eye, he watched in disbelief as the Parallax monster, which had just emerged and hadn't even gotten its footing, turned around at lightning speed and returned along the same path without looking back.

Excuse me, wrong place. Goodbye.

Chapter 221 Is this thing a lamp beast?

On the surface of Mars, at the negotiation site between Shen You and Almerek.

At this moment, everyone remained frozen in shock. However, their initial fear stemmed from the arrival of the Parallax Beast, which had sent shivers down their spines, naturally rendering them immobile.

What's truly astonishing is the sheer smoothness with which this self-proclaimed entity of fear executed its entire sequence of actions, from its arrival to its escape.

No, why are you so skilled at escaping?

Even the mechanical superhero that it summoned was stunned by the sight, his mouth agape and all his lines stuck in his throat, his emotions completely disjointed.

The mechanical superman began to have some doubts about the knowledge he had acquired during his interstellar travels.

Previously, he had always thought that the so-called Fear Entity should be the ultimate monster that feeds on the fear of all living beings in the universe and instills fear into the entire universe.

But now it seems that the so-called fear entity might be the most fearsome creature in the universe?

You're a cowardly lantern beast, right?

While they were still stunned and motionless, a sudden burst of intense light appeared in the environment. A whirlwind of lightning flashed past them, and azure light bloomed like a lotus flower. The afterimage it carried moved at high speed and rapidly expanded, instantly growing to the size of the Parallax monster.

Before the radiance had even faded, Parallax's tail was already in Shen You's hand. His feet were deep in the Martian surface, and with a burst of strength, he lifted Parallax upside down, swung it over his head, and slammed it hard into the ground!

The impact was so great that the ground sank.

The area around the parallax monster's landing point rapidly collapsed, creating a huge crater. Mountains crumbled and the earth split apart, smoke and dust billowed into the sky, the reddish-brown land was shattered, and the distant volcanoes became active as a result, with lava flowing and flames shooting into the sky.

With the parallax monster thrown like that, the sonic boom in mid-air was also shut down, and it seemed that its escape plan had been ruined.

But the Lamp Beast was tough and resilient, so the fall didn't affect it much. It turned around, its gaze fixed on the giant of light blocking its path, and roared furiously through telepathy.

The implication is that I was being lenient by not arguing with you earlier, so don't push your luck!

After all, although blue lanterns are a natural counter to yellow lanterns, Parallax is a lantern monster, not just an ordinary yellow lantern warrior.

The reason it ran away as soon as it sensed the presence of a Blue Lantern was that it had been imprisoned for too long and was now in a weak state, and it did not want to face a Blue Lantern member in this condition.

Secondly, it realized that it wasn't really that familiar with the Mechanical Superman. The Mechanical Superman had simply released it from its antimatter prison, and they had made an agreement to help each other eliminate their enemies.

What's the big deal about a life-saving favor? If our cheap ally dies, so be it. What does it have to do with parallax?
