I became light in American comics

How dare you?!

In its final moments, it felt as if it were filled with light.

Like a moth drawn into a raging fire, leaving no trace of even ashes.

Shen You felt as if he had been attacked.

But using the word "attack" seems like an overreaction.

It felt like being hit on the neck by something like a flying insect; I had a slight sensation but wasn't quite sure, almost like a hallucination.

In short, the intensity certainly does not meet the definition of an attack.

Then he instinctively turned around.

Immediately, I saw a homeless man behind me fall to the ground with a thud and lie motionless.

Shen You's pupils contracted immediately—

—A staged accident?

But then I thought about it again.

That’s not right either.

You're at least five meters away from me. Are all these people trying to scam me these days so unprofessional? Are you being this perfunctory?

Chapter 24 Normal Development

The person who collapsed behind Shen You was a homeless man. He had no relatives, no friends, and nobody knew him, just like most homeless people in Gotham.

Fortunately, he seemed to be alright and woke up after a while. He couldn't remember why he was there, but he felt extremely hungry.

It turns out it wasn't a staged accident.

Watching the bewildered homeless man leave, though it seemed as if nothing had happened, he had a dangerous intuition.

It's like a sixth sense, like "my Ultra Instinct is throbbing."

So, as a precaution, Shen You paused briefly, activated his Ultra Vision, and directly scanned the entire body of the suspicious homeless man.

Then I discovered that I didn't know until I scanned it, and there really was something fishy going on.

An ordinary homeless man, a genuine Earthling. That's how it should be, except that Ultraman's vision detected a few strange remnants between some of his organs.

Although Shen You is a three-thousand-year-old Ultraman otaku who basically stays in the Land of Light and never leaves the country, he has at least received systematic training and has a relatively broad perspective.

He recognized at a glance that the thing was not an Earth creature.

Some kind of parasite once infested this homeless man, but it's dead now. Only a few remnants remain, posing no real threat to the host.

The idea immediately popped into Shen You's mind.

Coming towards me.

Presumably, it wants to jump onto itself like a symbiote, take over its body, and strangle its spirit, or something like that?

What a vicious and cruel alien!

Fortunately, I am more skilled.

The fact that there is an alien hiding in the DC universe is not surprising in itself, but why would it target itself?

Random, indiscriminate attacks?

This possibility cannot be ruled out. But Shen You quickly recalled his recent experience of contact with extraterrestrials.

That mantis-like alien that seemed to be tracking Kara.

Could they be in cahoots?

In any case, this served as a wake-up call for Shen You.

I realized I wasn't vigilant enough and had let my guard down. In a world fraught with danger, you can never be too careful.

What if the attack wasn't on some weakling who got instantly killed by the anti-armor, but on some kind of symbiote with similar abilities but a thousand times stronger?

Wouldn't I have been tricked without even knowing it?

Shen You made a quick decision: he would start targeted training as soon as he got back today, and ideally, he would be able to maintain his mental power and achieve a precognitive effect similar to the "Spider-Sense" in Marvel.

Back at the store, the Kryptonian girl, who knew nothing about this, had only just woken up.

The girl was wearing a light-colored nightgown, her blonde hair was messy like a frizzy puff of hair, her face was sleepy, and she was yawning lazily as she walked, her eyes half-closed, looking just like someone practicing their nodding skills in advanced mathematics class.

The kitten Stryker was similar to her. The cat perched on her small shoulder, yawning listlessly. The two, master and servant, opened their mouths one after the other like racehorses, and casually entered the bathroom.

Kara stretched out her little hand and casually turned on the faucet.

bang.

With a sharp crack, the faucet snapped off her hand, and a jet of water gushed out, splattering her face.

The little girl didn't even realize she was being sprayed; she stood there in the water, still holding the broken faucet and blinking, until she was completely soaked.

"What's going on?" Shen You came running after the sound.

The little girl then realized she had made a mistake and was so frightened that she cried out "Ah!" and instinctively threw away the evidence in her hand.

Then, with another "snap," the metal faucet handle pierced the wall like some kind of hidden weapon, shattering the tiles and spreading the cracks like a spider web.

So Shen You peeked out from outside the door and saw a broken faucet spraying water, a cracked wall, a wet but innocent-looking blonde girl, and a Kryptonian orange cat that had jumped to the side and looked not very smart.

Kara lowered her head, looking like a docile girl accepting punishment for her mistake, tugging at her little hand and whispering, "I...I didn't mean to."

Shen You immediately understood what had happened.

The god-tier pet I rescued is starting to level up.

It's the same Kryptonian god-level pet as Superman in Batman's world. No need to spend money or level up, it can level up just by lying down and not moving, which makes the other hardcore players and big spenders on the DC server so angry that they die on the spot.

"It's alright, you're just developing," Shen You said gently.

"what?"

Kara's face was full of confusion as she looked at her soft, white hands with disbelief.

Does physical development cause this?

After all, Kryptonians are just ordinary people on their own planet. This is Kara's first time in a yellow solar radiation environment, and she has little experience with the drastic changes her body will undergo.

"It's normal, don't worry. I do have some experience with it," Shen You reassured him.

Superman's foster parents on the farm managed to train him to master superpowers—they were truly a remarkable couple. Shen You figured he could at least fly and shoot lasers, and he also had experience controlling forces of over 100,000 tons, so he should have a way of training a Kryptonian girl.

"well."

Kara nodded, feeling somewhat guilty, and stepped back to the door, reaching out to grasp the doorknob as she prepared to leave.

Click.

The handle was broken too.

Kara held the broken doorknob, her head bowed as if she were about to cry.

"I'm sorry."

Shen You: "."

So for the next few days, Shen You had to take some time out each day to help Kara adapt to her gradually awakening power.

His experience of systematic training in the Land of Light began to pay off in this regard. It proved that scientific methods were equally effective against outsiders; under his careful guidance, Kara was quickly able to control her abnormal physical development to some extent, at least to the point that it didn't interfere with her life.

At the same time, Shen You didn't neglect his own work.

The negative phase fluctuation radar is functioning reasonably well. His mech has been quite active outside lately, and it seems to be trending towards becoming an urban legend, much like Batman.

Furthermore, due to the armor's striking red and silver paint scheme and the light-attribute characteristics of its skills, some people quickly connected this mysterious armor with the giant known as "Ultraman" who had appeared once before. Some believe that the two are actually the same entity, while others think that it is backed by a large and mysterious organization, or even an entire alien race.

However, as his activities and popularity continue to rise, the light energy index of the bracelet is also steadily increasing.

"Drip drop~"

The radar reacted again, and this time the reaction was quite strong.

Shen You's mood lifted as he anticipated another wave of experience points. He swiped the screen to confirm his location information.

The location is... an abandoned amusement park?

Gotham, an amusement park, abandoned.

Shen You fell into deep thought.

I always feel that when these elements come together, nothing good comes of it.

Chapter 25 The Demon Spirit Turns into Light

Night always seems to fall earlier in Gotham than elsewhere. The abandoned amusement park seems to have been forgotten in a corner of the world, and the giant Ferris wheel floats silently in the air like a sleeping behemoth.

A thick fog hung in the air, obscuring the only road leading to the amusement park. The fluorescent lights in the distance barely illuminated the dim cobblestone pavement. A dull wind howled past, and a pale moon hung high in the night sky. The rustling wind sounded like the sigh of a demon.

Two afterimages broke the silence of the night.

A demonic spirit spread its wings like a fallen angel and charged at full speed through the boundless night sky. A magnificent trail of flame followed closely behind, and the red and silver steel armor closed the distance between them at a visible speed.

Below, in the darkness of the amusement park, a ghostly green light appeared, like a will-o'-the-wisp in the night.

"They're here," a demon chuckled softly.

The demon leader, Yusak, used an ancient telepathic technique to send a message to the demon in the air: "Pretend to be outmatched and lure that despicable Ultraman to the designated location. He'll discover we've prepared a surprise for him."

They quickly returned, following the telepathic message from the aerial spirit.

"Are you guys blind?! I'm genuinely no match for you!" the demon screamed. "Where are my teammates?! Help me?!"

But it's too late.

The mechanism on the shoulder of the red and silver armor opened, and a small launcher popped out from the shoulder.

With a piercing whistle, the miniature missile ignited and launched. The demon spirit in mid-air had no way to avoid it. After a heart-wrenching scream, it was hit by the missile and exploded into a dazzling display of fireworks in the night sky.

All the demons: "."

The Specium warhead, Shen You's latest weapon development, currently only has one prototype warhead that has been test-fired.
