I became light in American comics

Even the talk show hosts on TV fell asleep, snoring loudly into the microphone, their snoring echoing in every household.

Even Kara, the Kryptonian girl, wasn't spared. She was studying with a supplementary book called "English Textbook Partner," but she eventually fell asleep inside it, her golden hair tuft bobbing up and down.

Oh, that probably doesn't matter much. She usually dozes off while reading anyway.

"The magic of dreams—this field should be under the control of Morpheus of the Endless Family. I don't know how such a mishap occurred." The old wizard frowned. "But this will be very dangerous."

My dream-entering spell can help me enter the dream realm to find the culprit, but now I have only one-tenth of my magic power left, and I don't know if I can handle the dangers ahead.

"You stay here and watch over my body. If you notice anything amiss, wake me up immediately."

“Or I have a better idea,” Shen You said. “Perhaps you can take me with you.”

"you?"

The old wizard frowned.

“I know you are strong, alien. But dreams and reality are completely different dimensions, and dreams have their own laws. I understand the rules of dreams, so my magic works within them.”

And you? No matter how powerful you are in reality, you can't bring that power into your dreams.

"Don't worry, I do have some understanding of the laws of dreams," Shen You said confidently.

The Land of Light strives to help each Ultraman develop into a well-rounded, all-around warrior, and there are related courses in the Dream Realm as well.

Throughout the various TV series, multiple Ultraman predecessors have entered dreams to defeat monsters that control those dreams. This proves that the power of light can also be effective in the dream world.

Seeing his confidence, the old wizard was even more surprised.

Even the laws of the dream realm are dabbled in? Is your knowledge that extensive?

This made him even more curious about Shen You's background.

"Alright. But I must say this beforehand: if a crisis arises, I won't be able to spare the time to protect you right now."

The old wizard took a deep breath, waved his arm, and shouted in a loud voice.

"So now."

Let us drift into a dream!

Chapter 30 Invincible in Dreams

Shen You stood in the coffee shop, looking around.

"Nothing seems to have changed. Are you sure we're dreaming?"

"Of course. Who do you think I am? I am 'that wizard,' when has my spell ever gone wrong?"

The old wizard held his head high and puffed out his chest, then blew on his beard again.

Come to think of it, all the customers who were sleeping in the shop before have disappeared; there's not a single one left.

However, a girl screamed from the room behind.

"Kara?"

Shen You turned back and pushed open the door. He saw the little girl pitifully huddled in a corner of the room, squeezed into a dead end. Surrounded by a dark mass of villains, their sinister smiles and brutal gazes were blatantly fixed on Kara.

They each had green, wrinkled bodies, scarlet eyes, and ferocious mouths with cruel smiles, looking like...

Green pepper?

"?"

Looking at those green pepper monsters with big heads, short arms, and short legs, a question mark appeared above Shen You's head.

Has this green pepper come to life?

Kara huddled helplessly in the corner of the room, wearing the white dress she had arrived in, hugging her knees, her eyes brimming with tears, looking utterly pitiful: "You...you guys, don't come any closer!"

This bizarrely styled nightmare left Shen You completely bewildered.

For a moment, she couldn't tell if it was the influence of the nightmare or if she really hated green peppers that much.

At this moment, the old wizard stepped forward and patted Shen You on the shoulder: "Let's go. She's trapped in her own nightmare, there's nothing we can do to help her. All we can do is find the culprit as soon as possible and end all of this."

Shen You nodded and followed him outside.

The scene outside the Dream World Cafe was even more chaotic and disorderly.

Gotham City is in complete chaos. Cars are speeding through the streets, and disgusting creatures with huge eyes and a bunch of tentacles are climbing up buildings.

Old Wang next door and his wife were having a pleasant conversation when the male head of the household suddenly appeared; a group of black boys carrying baseball bats tried to take advantage of the chaos to buy something for free, but suddenly encountered a large, menacing bat that fell from the sky and beat them into a pulp in no time.

It really is a nightmare with Gotham characteristics.

"Lord of the Domain, Ruler of Nightmares, in the name of the Wizard Shazam, reveal your true form at once!"

The old wizard raised his arms high, his sleeves fluttering in the wind.

Shen You silently added a "Hurry, hurry, as the law commands" sound effect to his mind, and it felt perfectly natural.

A surge of darkness suddenly erupted in the middle of the city street, like pitch-black lava!

It tumbled and flowed, converging at one point, transforming into a gigantic humanoid figure over a hundred meters tall. Beneath the black hood was a faceless skull, its deep-set eye sockets glowing with a dark red light. Its entire body was shrouded in a wide cloak, standing tall amidst the jungle of reinforced concrete.

"How dare someone defy me in the world of dreams—my domain? Your destiny!?" the skull-faced man roared menacingly.

At first, Shen You only thought the skull face looked familiar, like Taskmaster from the Marvel studio next door. It wasn't until the guy uttered the word "destiny" that Shen You remembered who this person was.

Doctor Destiny, whose real name is John Dee, is a patient at Arkham Asylum. He possesses the ability to control dreams and once dragged most of the Justice League members into nightmares, almost wiping them out in his dream world.

The moment the giant shadow appeared, everyone in the city froze in their tracks.

Suddenly, he became the sole focus. All eyes were involuntarily drawn to him, fixed on his imposing figure as if captivated by a magnet.

Then fear.

Yes, fear. That's the only thing everyone in the nightmare can feel from that body.

It was as if the deep breathing of the demons echoed in everyone's ears, and an unparalleled fear invaded their souls. Their hands and feet were ice-cold, and their bodies felt as if they were submerged in icy water. The demons' whispers were like a biting wind, making even the air they breathed feel thinner than ever before, seeping into their bodies little by little, causing even the most indestructible will to crumble.

"That's right, be afraid! Then despair!"

Doctor Destiny clenched his fists, as if endless darkness was pouring into his body from all directions.

"The more you fear, the stronger I become! This is my world, and I am the only god!"

A sudden gust of wind arose. The old wizard looked up at the colossal figure before him, his brow furrowed with deep concern: "He is stronger than I imagined. With my current magic, he is somewhat difficult to deal with."

"Step back a bit, I'm about to use a forbidden spell. Perhaps it will..."

Before the words were even finished, a blinding light exploded behind him. A sacred white light bloomed like a thousand lotus flowers in full bloom, and a rapidly growing fist burst forth from the light, slamming into Doctor Destiny's face with a thunderous blow.

At that moment, Dr. Destiny was reveling in his inflated power, laughing heartily. His skull-like mouth, halfway through his laughter, was suddenly dislocated with a "crack." His hundred-meter-tall body crashed down, smashing through an entire row of buildings along the street, sending dust billowing everywhere.

The old wizard opened his mouth, but the forbidden spell he was casting froze in mid-air, and he swallowed the rest of his sentence.

Then it became: ".Or like you would work too."

Standing at the same height of 100 meters, towering between buildings, the slender red and silver giant had a faint golden light shining in his eyes.

Shen You's normal height is about fifty meters. It's not impossible for him to become taller, but the energy consumption would increase, which is generally not cost-effective.

However, in the dream world, there are no such strict restrictions.

The moment Ultraman appeared and his radiance erupted, even the dark clouds in the sky above this dream realm seemed to be dispersed by the beam of light. The despairing and oppressive fear instantly lessened considerably, as if a huge boulder had been kicked out of everyone's heart.

All the citizens of the city involuntarily raised their heads and cast astonished glances at the newly appeared giant.

The old wizard squinted his eyes.

He now realized that Shen You's claim of having some understanding of the laws of dreams was indeed not just empty boasting.

Looking directly at the red and silver giant that had appeared in his dream, even the old wizard felt as if he were looking directly at a scorching sun.

"I see. Since the essence of the body is the magic of light, by some means, the elements of the body are scattered and reassembled in the dimension of dreams to form a body that adapts to the laws of the dream world, exerting power no weaker than that in reality."

Although he recognized the principle behind the Ultra Clan's dream entry technique at a glance thanks to his rich experience, the old wizard had indeed never heard of such a technology before. He couldn't help but stroke his long beard, revealing an even more interested expression.

I think it's called Ultraman?

What a terrible race.

Even the experienced wizard Shazam was somewhat surprised, so you can only imagine how bewildered Doctor Destiny must have been.

Slammed to the ground by the punch, Dr. Destiny felt the burning pain coursing through his body, his skull filled with question marks.

Did I get punched?

In a nightmare that you control?

No, what happened to me being invincible in my dreams?

Could it be that I used a fake cheat?

Chapter 31 Then wouldn't I seem superfluous?

To this day, Dr. Destiny remains a loser.

He was just an ordinary, insignificant nobody in Gotham City, an ant that anyone could trample on. He grew up amidst the contempt of others, was locked up in Arkham Asylum, a place even in Gotham was known as the "cursed land," an abyss abandoned by society.

And now, he has returned from the abyss.

He possesses unparalleled power, able to freely dominate the world of dreams. Anyone who faces him must fear and submit to him.

Yeah, this is his home turf, isn't it?

He can be as strong or as fast as he wants. The only thing that can limit him is the limit of his imagination.

Here, he is the only god!

At this thought, a dangerous red light flashed again in the skull's eyes. A powerful aura erupted from his body, his purplish-black cloak billowed in the wind, and a terrifying domain swept over him.

boom.

Ultraman punched him in the face again.

With his skull face nearly shattered, the emotions he had just begun to build suddenly became disjointed.

It was as if the giant had silently commanded him, "Sit down." And he obediently plopped back down.

So fast!
