I became light in American comics

boom!

The thunderous crash of a heavy punch against steel created an exaggerated impact. The shockwave radiated outwards, sweeping away trees and sending leaves and branches swirling wildly in the gale.

The powerful punch overturned almost the entire ground from a distance, but the spot where Shen You stood remained unscathed. From the air, he looked like a stubborn rock in the water, with the turbulent current helplessly cutting him apart.

Sass's powerful punch felt like it had struck an iron plate. His pupils contracted slightly, and he looked up at the steel body in surprise.

"This power... a superhuman? Or... an alien?" Shen You frowned slightly behind the built-in monitor.

Sass didn't speak, but shouted again and threw a left hook that whistled through the air.

But the other side was faster!

Shen You's right palm suddenly shot out, his arm moving so fast it became a blur of red and silver. He struck first, and before Sass's hook could even reach its midpoint, his steel palm had already hit Sass's fleshy cheek.

Ultraman slap!

The dull thud and the impact spread like waves across Sass's face. The burly man's head lolled to the side, and he was sent flying backward, tumbling from the force of the slap.

The maids watching from the shadows had their mouths agape.

"How...how is this possible?" She looked completely bewildered. "Sass is the royal family's top-tier warrior, this...this..."

She turned to look at the red-haired woman beside her, only to see that the woman's eyes were shining with excitement.

“Exactly,” the red-haired woman said excitedly. “Not only did he completely overwhelm Sass in terms of strength, but he also had speed, and did you notice his technique? That move, those graceful movements, it was simply like art.”

maid:"?"

Wait a minute, Your Highness, isn't your focus a bit off?

The fight continued even as they spoke. Well, calling it a fight is hardly accurate anymore. Within two moves, Sass was basically caught in his opponent's rhythm, and afterwards he was mostly just taking hits while covering his head.

The red-haired woman's eyes grew brighter and brighter: "Did you see that joint lock? The move was absolutely perfect. That hook was beautiful! That poor guy's jaw should be dislocated now!"

The maid whispered a reminder: "Um... Your Highness, you realize that 'that unlucky fellow' is one of our people, right?"

“What? Oh, of course,” the red-haired woman said. “I was just letting him test the other’s strength. He looks strong, doesn’t he?”

“Yes, but if we keep 'testing' like this, Sass will die, won’t he?” The maid’s voice lowered even further. “Of course, I was just mentioning it casually.”

"."

When the two appeared in front of Shen You, Sass was already bruised and swollen, lying on the ground on the verge of death.

Shen You had intentionally held back. Although the other party had launched a sneak attack first, the Ultra race still had to be reasonable. At the very least, they needed to find out where this person came from, whether they had accomplices, and what their purpose was.

Shen You watched the two newcomers warily. The sensor quickly relayed the scan results to him.

Two more aliens.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," the red-haired woman said with a smile, moving closer. "You're a valiant warrior; your strength and skill are truly admirable. Especially that hook punch just now—it was absolutely beautiful."

Sass, lying on the ground: "?"

"Who are you people? What are you doing on Earth?" Shen You asked.

"We come from Almerik. My name is Maxima."

She had only given her name and background before she could even speak when Shen You instinctively jumped back, his gaze towards her becoming even more wary.

Good heavens, she's Maxima?

Shen You remembers that she appeared in the animated series "Superman TAS" that was shown on TV many times when she was a child.

Maxima, the eldest princess of the Almerik royal family, is a notorious troublemaker in the galaxy. The lore states she possesses superhuman strength, super speed, invulnerability, and even telepathy; her greatest weakness is her inability to find a husband.

That's not entirely accurate; it's mainly because her standards are too high, and she looks down on everyone. The princess has a fiery temper and is incredibly skilled in combat; it's said she once fought her way across the entire galaxy without finding a match. Yet, she insists on finding someone just as capable as herself in combat.

However, this "fighting across the entire galaxy" setting isn't very accurate, because she has obviously only challenged a limited number of places, certainly not including Earth. Ever since the princess's spies discovered that Earth exists in the galaxy, her record has changed from "unbeatable by anyone in the entire galaxy" to "unbeatable by anyone on Earth."

Well, it's not really that bad. After all, Princess Atom is quite powerful; it's just that there are too many overpowered characters on Earth. This character first set her sights on Superman, and after relentlessly pursuing him for a long time without success, she turned her attention to Captain Atom. She even flirted with the extreme Justice League member, Marvel.

Basically, he's a love-struck character who seduces superheroes all over the place and is also incredibly good at fighting. His values ​​are dictated by his fists, and he'll throw himself at whoever has the biggest fist.

This princess wouldn't exactly be considered a threat. After all, although her main motive was to hook up with rich men, she had joined the Justice League and done quite a bit of work.

However, once you get involved with her, the trouble will never end.

"Hello? Are you listening?" Maxima's voice pulled Shen You back to reality from his reverie.

Of course, Shen You stopped listening to her self-introduction from the moment she started with her name.

"Oh, sorry, please continue." Shen You snapped out of his reverie.

“I’ve heard of your name for a long time and know that you are one of the most powerful beings in the Milky Way. That’s why I traveled thousands of miles to seek your help in this time of crisis.” She blinked, her eyes flashing with a light that Shen You perceived as a danger signal.

Sass, lying on the ground, looked up blankly: "Huh? I thought the strongest guy in the galaxy we heard about was Super Buddy, waaaaah!"

Before he could finish speaking, the princess stomped on his head and shoved him back into the ground, stuffing a mouthful of mud into his mouth.

"So, what do you think?" She revealed a gentle and obedient expression.

However, this expression seems rather incongruous on a violent woman who is stepping on someone's head.

"I think... I have a suggestion," Shen You said dryly.

“What? You mean, anything I can do?” Maxima hurriedly leaned closer.

“Go back to your Almeric state.”

As Shen You spoke, he soared into the air, transforming into a shooting star and disappearing into the night.

Princess Maxima looked up and stared at the disappearing trail of flames in the sky for a long time, seemingly more and more satisfied, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons with a smile.

“He is much stronger than he looks, I can sense it,” Maxima said confidently. “My intuition about strong people is always very accurate.”

“Then His Majesty will surely be very satisfied with him,” the maid said.

“The people of Almeric will be very happy too,” Maxima said excitedly.

Finally freed from under the princess's boots, Sass lifted his head, lay on the ground catching his breath, frowned, and pondered for a moment, feeling that things might not be so simple.

"Something doesn't feel right. Look, His Majesty is satisfied, Her Highness the Princess is satisfied, and the people are satisfied. But doesn't it feel like something's missing?"

The three fell silent instantly.

Maxima glanced at him expressionlessly, then stomped his head back onto the ground.

Sass (again, a mouthful of mud): "Ughhhhhh!"

Since it will most likely be released at noon this Friday, the update time has been changed.

Also, barring any unforeseen circumstances, another major character should appear tomorrow. Can you guess who it is?

Continuing to request pre-orders and first-time bookings~

Chapter 92 Dimensional Anomaly

After their trip to the metropolis, Shen You and Kara returned to the coffee shop.

The two went empty-handed, but returned laden with souvenirs: a bunch of local specialties Kara had bought in the metropolis, and a large bag of gifts that her enthusiastic cousin had given them.

Carla skipped and hopped into the kitchen with a frying pan in her hand, looking for the old wizard.

"A gift for me?" The old wizard's eyes widened in surprise.

“Yes, because I know the old man really likes pots.” Kara grinned. “They’re made by the Lex Group in Metropolis. Although I’ve heard their president is a jerk, their pots are still highly praised. So I thought I’d bring one for the old man to try.”

The old wizard was overjoyed and couldn't put down the new pot. He immediately went to the kitchen to try it out.

Kara then ran downstairs to see Astra.

As an anti-Kryptonian prisoner, Astra actually lived a fairly comfortable life. She lacked nothing in terms of food and clothing, and there was even a projector TV hanging outside her cell to pass the time.

If I had to pinpoint the worst part, it would be that the old wizard always liked to use her to test his ingenious new recipes.

There's no way around it; every time the old man comes up with some new, incomprehensible dish that's instinctively repulsive, the two aliens in the shop, one big and one small, either remember they forgot to bring in the laundry or forgot to feed the cat, and they vanish in a flash at super speed.

So the old wizard naturally thought of the perfect candidate imprisoned underground.

There was nothing she could do; after all, she was a defeated general. She could only grit her teeth and silently endure this humiliation.

However, to her surprise, at first those bizarre and indescribable culinary creations were hard for her to swallow and made her feel nauseous, but after a while, she actually started to find them delicious.

It’s actually kind of delicious?

Sometimes, when the old man didn't come for two or three days in a row, she would even feel a little disappointed. Her stomach felt empty, as if something was missing.

"Auntie, I'm back!" Kara ran down excitedly. "Look what I brought you!"

A small, gold trophy. Aunt Atlas squinted at it and saw a line of small writing on it.

"The best grandma in the world?"

"Since this is all we have left in the shop, you'll have to make do with this. Okay, I'm going to the kitchen to help Grandpa Wizard now. I'll come see you again when I have time~"

As he spoke, he suddenly vanished down the stairs.

Under the red sun, Atlas looked at Kara, who had run away in less than a minute after coming down, and then at the "best grandma in the world" left aside, and couldn't help but sigh.

Suddenly, I felt nostalgic, remembering how close little Kara and I were. Every time she came, I would cling to her, wanting her to hold me and tell me stories.

Time has passed, and now she's turned into such a heartless little darling.

"That little magical princess is very nice, really very nice."

The old wizard stroked his long beard and said to Shen You. The "magical princess" naturally referred to Raven; he was very pleased with his youngest daughter, Sangu.

During Shen You and his group's trip to the Metropolis, Raven still came to the shop every day to learn from the old wizard. She was born with astonishingly powerful magic, but she needed an expert to teach her how to control it.

"San Gong may be a scoundrel, but his daughter is really good." The old wizard smiled as he mentioned this. "She's well-behaved, obedient, and sensible. She does whatever you ask her to do, and she has a strong ability to understand."

Most importantly, she has a kind heart. It's ironic that such a terrifying, multifaceted demonic being possesses a purer and kinder heart than over 90% of the humans in the world today.

"It sounds like someone's thinking about choosing an heir again?" Shen You said.

"Yes, of course I want to. It's a pity," the old wizard sighed. "I've spent countless years searching for a suitable successor, but the few I've truly chosen are either from other races or demon daughters."

"Be patient, give it some time." Shen You smiled and patted the old man on the shoulder. "You'll find it."

"I hope so," the old man said, pursing his lips.

After dinner, the old wizard waved his finger, like a conductor. Suddenly, all the dishes on the table rose into the air and floated towards the kitchen, following his direction.

The old wizard went inside to tidy up, and the enchanted rag diligently wiped the table. Kara played with Stryker for five minutes, then obediently went to study with her textbooks. Shen You returned to his laboratory, intending to spend the evening there.
