I became light in American comics

Shen You glanced around briefly; the threats in the bar seemed to have been eliminated. Now he just needed to grab someone and ask them a few questions, seeing which unfortunate soul around seemed to know more.

Just as he stood up and looked around for someone to question,

He felt a gust of wind.

A sharp blade surged from behind his neck, sounding as if the air itself were being sliced ​​apart. It appeared almost instantly, its edge seemingly inches from the back of his neck.

Shen You was slightly surprised.

He had clearly checked just a moment ago, and there wasn't a single capable target left in the bar. Where did this sneak attack come from?

Of course, doubts did not hinder his brain's operation or his hand movements.

The moment his pupils contracted, time seemed to freeze once more. But this time, in that seemingly still space and time, he could still feel the approaching gust of wind behind him.

It was noticeably slower, but it continued to cut and slash.

Shen You immediately understood that this meant the attacker also possessed super speed.

In the DC universe, super speed and super strength are almost a standard, bundled-together attribute; while not ubiquitous, there are certainly quite a few characters who possess them. Conversely, characters with these abilities are very likely not mere henchmen.

However, Shen You was faster than his opponent.

He sidestepped, his elbow knocking a glass off the bar, which flew in an arc into the air, spilling most of the golden liquid and freezing it in mid-air, like a still image from an art photograph.

A black blade narrowly missed Shen You's cheek, and behind it gripped the hilt was an arm covered in blue skin.

Shen You dodged the blade, seized the outstretched arm, and with a powerful thrust of his right shoulder, used the force of the opponent's high-speed thrust to execute a first-generation over-the-shoulder throw!

Using his immense strength and the force of the attacker's rapid movement, he slammed the assailant to the ground with a powerful, over-the-shoulder throw. The moment the man landed, it was as if the entire foundation of the bar sank; the floorboards shattered dramatically, and the man, propelled by the incredible speed, spun and rolled a great distance before crashing into a broken table corner and being crushed beneath it by the collapsing table.

Shen You frowned slightly when he saw the attacker's appearance clearly.

Wow, Mystic?

Aren't you from the Marvel Studios? You've come to the wrong place.

Of course, he immediately realized that it couldn't be Mystic. Even setting aside the possibility of a mistake on set, Mystic couldn't possibly be that fast, and a throw like that over the shoulder should have resulted in the person being completely obliterated.

Although the "demon-like woman" in front of me was also a bit dazed from the fall, she immediately swayed and crawled up from the rubble. Her physical strength was quite formidable.

Her name is Qinglan, an inmate in Rosburg Prison in the Phantom Zone, and one of the boss-level villains in the TV series "Supergirl". At first glance, she looks a bit like Mystique.

A flicker of surprise crossed her eyes as Shen You threw her. Seemingly realizing she was in trouble, Qinglan acted decisively, narrowing her eyes and turning to disappear in a flash.

I have to run away immediately!

The moment she turned and started running, she vaguely sensed that the person behind her seemed to be catching up.

But she felt nothing inside; in fact, she even felt a little amused.

Ha, chasing me?

Yes, he was fast; she had already tested him in that split second of their exchange. Although Qinglan also possessed extraordinary speed, she was clearly not as fast as him.

But she wasn't flustered at all, because she had a trump card up her sleeve.

Drill the network cable!

Suddenly, Qinglan's entire body disintegrated, and her graceful blue body transformed into a liquid-like substance that churned and surged before diving headfirst into a cell phone lying on the floor!

As Qinglan charged into the world of data, she sped off at breakneck speed, laughing inwardly.

She couldn't beat those Kryptonians who were practically cheating in a fight, but when it came to escaping, she was second to none.

Even when she was captured by the Kryptonians, it was because she was ambushed and tricked.

She wanted to run away; she had never failed in her life!

More than ten miles away, in an abandoned storeroom, the screen of a large, old-fashioned computer, which should have been discarded long ago, suddenly lit up.

A strange liquid substance churned and surged out of the screen, landed on the floor, and reassembled into a humanoid shape.

Qinglan landed on the floor in a half-squatting position, struck a pose, and even casually tossed her hair.

Ha, men. Trying to woo me? Dream on.

After striking a pose, she calmly stood up, but the moment she looked up, Qinglan nearly suffered a cardiac arrest.

She saw that man again.

The man in the bar who was moving incredibly fast.

He was leaning against the wall of the storeroom with his arms crossed, looking at her with a smile.

Qinglan: "!?!"

This scene dealt her a devastating blow, a hundred times more powerful than if a Kryptonian had used monstrous brute force to pin her to the ground and beat her to a pulp.

After all, it's normal to lose a fight, but if she can't escape, she'll break down.

No, I crawled out through the network cable. Where did this person come from?

Could it be a ghost?

On a whim, she turned and ran again without a word. Her blue form transformed back into data and dove back into the old-fashioned computer in front of her.

Entering the world of data gave her a sense of security again. Her body felt like a torrent, swept along in an endless ocean.

She ran at full speed, glancing back occasionally.

Then, upon glancing at the data, the entire data body was almost scared out of its wits.

She saw a hand.

A gigantic, silver hand, enveloped in endless, sacred golden light, caught up at an astonishing speed, following the endless stream of data.

Then, even more strangely, when the hand wrapped in golden light caught up with her, the five fingers of that hand suddenly clenched.

He actually managed to grab her!

Qinglan: "?????????"

She couldn't struggle, couldn't move, and felt as if her soul was being gripped in that enormous palm, being pulled back even faster than when she came in.

An endless stream of questions nearly overwhelmed her mind.

No, I'm digitized! I don't even have a physical form, so how can I be grabbed by someone?

Could this person be a GM?

Chapter 104 Weary Arrogance

"Commander Norn takes your disappearance very seriously and has immediately decided to send troops to Earth."

"This is one of our main purposes for coming to Earth. The core mission of our team is to find your whereabouts, and secondly, to study human samples to make targeted adjustments to the 'Great Cleansing' system so that we can take cleansing measures against Earth in the future."

“Commander Norn attaches great importance to this mission, which is why he sent me to lead the team personally. I am one of his right-hand men and one of the strongest forces in Rothsburg.”

Astra listened silently to Qinglan finish speaking before calmly replying.

"And then you got arrested too?"

“Yes, that’s it.” Qinglan nodded.

As she spoke, she had already been imprisoned, just like Astra.

In fact, she was lucky to be imprisoned. The only reason she was still breathing was that the Rozburg headquarters was still missing, and they still needed her to reveal information about the Great Purge and Norn's movements.

The other, most notorious Rozburg criminals weren't so lucky; every single one of them has been turned into experience points.

"It's not that I'm bad, I'm being targeted!" Qinglan shouted. "Have you seen that freak? He can enter the data world just like me, but that's not all. He's faster than me in the data world, and he even managed to catch me inside, can you believe it!?"

Even I couldn't do that! It's completely unscientific! Unreasonable! Inexplicable!

To her surprise, Astra remained unmoved upon hearing her tearful accusations, merely giving a faint "hmm" as if it were no big deal.

Qinglan asked in confusion, "Don't you think this is outrageous?"

“That’s outrageous,” Astra said expressionlessly, “but you get used to it after a while.”

Qinglan: "?"

Astra peered through the glass at the blue cell opposite and asked, "What about your abilities? You can't get out of here?"

Astra couldn't escape because the red sun's constant, 24-hour exposure drained her superpowers. But Qinglan also possesses superpowers. Even if the cell lacked electronic devices and she couldn't penetrate network cables, her own super strength should be enough to physically break through walls.

Of course, Astra knew that the cunning Starman wouldn't make such a basic mistake; since he had locked Qinglan in this cell, he must have a plan. She was just curious about what that plan was.

At this point, Qinglan's anger flared up immediately: "That shameless guy! He... he stuffed so many strange things into my body. I feel like I'm completely stuffed, but I can't get them out. I can barely breathe, let alone use any of my abilities!"

Astra: "?"

"It's a virus," Qinglan said angrily. "He wrote me a bunch of messy viruses that interfered with my abilities."

This is also the inspiration that the original work gave Shen You. It's even a bit funny. In "Super Girl", Qinglan boasts that "I have transcended time and space and am invincible". However, when she tries to sneak into the computer of the alien department "Super Investigation Department" to attack their headquarters, her superpowers crash after the IT guy stuffs a bunch of viruses and malware into her computer.

She would probably die with regrets over that humiliating defeat, even after she's buried.

Why would I have such a dream when my invincible time-space technique was defeated by 360 Antivirus?

Shen You's virus was naturally more effective than the one from the Super Investigation Department. His virus precisely paralyzed all of Qinglan's abilities and weakened her physique, achieving an effect similar to that of the Red Sun on the Kryptonians. This meant she couldn't easily leave this place.

Angrily, she kicked the glass in front of her, but the recoil made her foot hurt. Qinglan slumped to one side, feeling depressed, and asked in a low voice, "So, are they going to use torture to interrogate me later? Tell me what methods they have so I can be mentally prepared."

Astra glanced at her expressionlessly and uttered a few words softly.

"Dark cuisine".

Qinglan: "?"

During his trip to Brudhaven, Shen You raided an alien hideout, captured a high-ranking officer from Rozburg, and incidentally seized an alien spaceship in the basement of a bar. This was the vehicle that Qinglan and her investigation team used to fly to Earth.

Shen You now has more and more spaceships at his disposal. One Kara, one Astra, one Qinglan, and Old Bu's warship.

If things continue to develop like this, he feels he will be able to build an entire interstellar fleet all by himself in the future.

Anyway, the space beneath his coffee shop was originally a subspace he created using the same kind of dark room technology that Ultraman transforms into, and its capacity is sufficient for the time being.

After the prisoners and spoils were settled, Shen You went upstairs, intending to ask the old wizard for a spell to help with the interrogation, when suddenly Kara came running over.

"Kara?" Shen You asked curiously, "Where have you come from?"

"Hey, come with me from the Rock of Eternity!"

Kara's face was very tense.
