I became light in American comics

Barry's expression changed drastically. He cried out in alarm and instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning, disappearing from everyone's sight.

The survivors stared blankly for a long time before an old man waved in the direction he had disappeared.

"Thanks, young man."

Shen You had thought that after passing through this spacetime membrane, the next place might be a similar speed field as before.

But he soon discovered that wasn't the case.

He was in a barren mountain, with a city not far away.

The buildings stand in rows, but their style is completely different from human architecture in any other country or region. Soft and elastic vine-covered pavements, alloy buildings entwined with plants and vines, natural colors and organic lines are blended together.

The people walking through the city streets were all apes.

So this is Gorilla City in DC.

Why is the Speed ​​Force connected to this city?

“Bio-reaction detected within 700 meters,” Pal said.

"So close?"

Shen You turned his head to scan and quickly found the heat source behind the dense forest next to him.

They are a group of gorillas.

Several gorillas, their hands bound behind their backs, knelt on the ground. Behind them, a row of gorillas held some kind of gun, pointing it at the kneeling group of gorillas from behind.

It looks like some kind of execution scene.

Two updates today, and an extra update tomorrow.

Chapter 123 Just call him Xiao Mai

"Kneel down, you traitors!"

An executioner ape, holding a gun, kicked a prisoner ape in the back of the knee. The prisoner ape knelt down unwillingly, his eyes filled with rage.

"Traitor? How dare you use that word?"

"Stop talking nonsense."

The executioner gorilla pressed the muzzle of the gun against the back of its head, its face beaming with undisguised smugness.

"You've lost, it's all over. Now, Gorilla City will only accept one king, and that is the great King Gerud!" The executioner gorilla said triumphantly. "And you? You people may have had elders, nobles, before."

But now? That's all in the past. Now you are all traitors to Gorilla City, and not only will you be executed, but your crimes will also be forever recorded in the annals of Gorilla City.”

"This is ridiculous!"

A nearby gorilla cried out in defiance. It was blind, and had a striking scar above its left eye.

"Ignoring everything else, the shameless Gerud actually accused me of peeping at classified information? Accusing me, a blind ape, of peeping at classified information? Do you think all future historians are blind?"

"Uh"

The executioner gorilla paused for a moment, then turned to its companion: "I think it has a point. Perhaps we were a bit hasty in assigning this charge?"

"Enough with the nonsense," the leader gorilla behind said impatiently. "Why bother with all that? Who cares about such details?"

"Okay, sir."

A nearby, tied-up white gorilla was yelling, "You can't treat me like this! I know Minister Carlo of the administration department. If you dare touch me, you'll be in big trouble!"

"Save your breath, buddy," a gorilla next to it said dejectedly. "I'm Minister Carlo, and I'm tied up here too, aren't I?"

"Huh?" The white-haired gorilla went limp and almost peed himself.

The leader gorilla's gaze swept over the gorillas who had once held power, and he sneered, "Any last words?"

“Grud will regret this,” a bound ape said in a deep voice. “Our ancestors left us the instruction that we must always keep the power of lightning in awe!”

"Grud has already gone against the will of its ancestors, and if this continues, it will surely..."

"Stop, that's enough." The leader gorilla grinned. "Just kidding, I'm not that merciful as to give you time to say your last words. Now, Lord Igrid's decision is that you should be on your way."

As soon as it finished speaking, it instinctively realized something was wrong. It turned its head and saw a strange red and silver armor that had appeared behind it at some unknown time.

"What are you?! How did you get in here?" the leader gorilla exclaimed in shock.

Not only it, but all the gorillas present were taken aback.

This is Gorilla City, a realm isolated from the outside world since ancient times. They have developed a unique technological system, creating a protective force field that envelops the entire city like a giant eggshell. This shield not only blocks any external attacks but also provides additional shielding.

To humans, this city is invisible to the naked eye or any other equipment; it's practically nonexistent. This is precisely why it's the safest place for the apes. It has never been invaded in all these years.

That's why they were so shocked when they found an outsider inside the barrier.

“Excuse me for interrupting for a moment,” Shen You said politely, “but I just wanted to ask, where is that ‘King Gerudo’ you just mentioned? I have something I’d like to talk to him about. In a very friendly way.”

"Intruder!"

The leader gorilla shouted, and all the gorillas immediately turned their guns around.

“I don’t know who you are, but how dare you trespass into Gorilla City, especially in front of ‘Bloody Michael,’ the top henchman under King Gerudo? I’ll tear you to pieces and eat your brains!”

The gorilla, who called himself Michael, shouted loudly.

"Shoot! Kill him!"

"Okay, the negotiations have failed."

Negotiations broke down, so they went straight to cremation.

The moment before the gorillas pulled the trigger, Shen Youren had vanished. The energy of the laser guns intertwined into a network, and his agile steel body darted through the gaps in the beams, instantly closing in on the formation.

He swiftly moved his palms, unleashing palm strikes that knocked down two people in quick succession. The remaining gorillas roared in unison, accelerating and lunging forward.

Similar to the gorillas that attacked Midtown, they were also very fast.

However, there's nothing Shen You can't handle.

Shen You slapped away a punch with his left palm and kicked one of the gorillas to the ground. The gorilla on the left wing swung a stick that was crackling with electricity at him. Shen You casually deflected and redirected the stick, causing it to strike another gorilla on the top of its head instead.

They dealt a heavy blow to my teammates.

Shen You unleashed a barrage of palm strikes, knocking down two gorillas, and then sent one flying with a knee strike. Two gorillas then launched a flashy attack in two intersecting arcs, but he tripped one of them with his foot and intercepted the other with an elbow strike to the face.

In the blink of an eye, only the leader of the entire group of gorillas remained.

After Shen You charged into the center of the enemy formation, he remained essentially stationary. Even after the last gorilla fell, he remained rooted to the spot, seemingly without moving an inch.

The gorilla leader and the kneeling prisoners were all stunned.

"Now, you're saying your name is Bloody Michael?"

Shen You turned to the remaining arrogant leader gorilla.

"I have a question for you."

The gorilla glanced at the countless gorillas lying dead on the ground, and one whose body was half-buried in the rocks. It swallowed hard and forced a smile.

"Oh, Michael, you're being too polite. Just call me Little Michael."

"."

Shen You quickly grasped the general situation.

Actually, it's pretty much the same as the original. In the Flash stories, Gorilla City is more of an ally than a villain, except for that one troublesome gorilla, Groud, who dreams of being an emperor all the time.

The apes in this city have no ambitions; they are content to live peacefully in their enclosures. However, a traitor named Gerudo emerged, killing the old king, staging a coup, and seizing the throne. Now, with his ambitions swelled, he even dreams of invading the human world and unifying the earth.

Shen You guessed that this gorilla named Grud was either crazy or had been out of touch with the world for too long and couldn't figure things out.

If it were to conduct a site visit before attacking, and understand how many cheaters exist in the human world, it would immediately abandon its ridiculous idea within a day.

Furthermore, while Gorilla City claims to be technologically advanced, its overall feel is actually quite similar to those vibranium-using black guys next door. One second they're mocking how primitive their gun use is, and the next they're pulling out their ancestral 24K vibranium spear.

"You're looking for King Gerudo, right? He's in the palace, over there, in the biggest building."

Michael the gorilla suddenly became exceptionally enthusiastic.

"Do you need me to show you the way?"

Chapter 124 The Oracle of the Speed ​​Force

Shen You tried to find out the background of the place from the gorillas as quickly as possible.

Simply put, a long, long time ago, there was a group of gorillas who were adopted as sons by a godmother named "Speed ​​Force." A lightning bolt that fell from the sky accelerated their thinking; in the parlance of spiritual energy revival points, they were given sentience.

Then a group of intelligent apes worshipped lightning as a god, developed civilization, built cities, and developed a technological system entirely based on lightning. For many years, they carefully hid from the outside world, living peacefully in this idyllic paradise.

One day, the godmother gave a divine message, saying she suddenly wanted to find a blond, bookish nerd to be her godson, and she no longer wanted them. The apes were immediately thrown into panic. The conservatives believed that whatever the godmother did was her prerogative and that they should accept reality. But the radicals, led by Grud, insisted that they couldn't just sit idly by when faced with a crisis.

"Our foolish ancestors thought that lightning contained divine power—nonsense!" Grud roared, giving his speeches throughout Ape City. "What we call lightning is nothing but a natural phenomenon, just like wind and water—mere tools! If it doesn't acknowledge us, we'll make it submit!"

Of course, it didn't say that before the Speed ​​Force disappeared. The old Groud was one of the most fanatical believers and followers of the Speed ​​Force.

When you give them benefits, they call you "Mom" like you're their own mother, but when you don't, they instantly change their tune and call you a tool.

Then came the civil war in Gorilla City. Grud staged a coup, crushing the conservative ruling party, and immediately dispatched troops to Central City.

There is only one objective: the Son of Lightning must die!

Grud's idea was simple and brutal. If we kill our godmother's new son, she'll have no son to acknowledge, and surely she'll change her mind and come back to us, right?

Once they capture the Son of Lightning and reconnect with the endless Speed ​​Force, conquering the world will be a piece of cake for Ape City.

"The situation is extremely urgent."

The elder gorilla, now freed from his restraints, spoke with great nervousness.

"We must immediately seize power, stop the madness of the Gerudos, and recall the troops it has sent out. Ancestral teachings require us to live in peace with humanity and we cannot allow the Gerudos to undermine this."

And the Son of Lightning must not die under any circumstances. Gruud has lost his mind; if the Son of Lightning were truly killed, it might incite the wrath of the Lord of Lightning.”

“Uh, don’t worry about that for now. I don’t think he’ll be killed that easily,” Shen You interrupted. “But it’s true that we need to stop the invasion as soon as possible. Is Gerud in that hall? That means if we break in and take it, we can command the army in the central city to surrender?”

"Yes, but it won't be that simple, outsiders. That's the heart of Gorilla City, a military stronghold. Grud's subordinates have taken control of the entire central system, and now there are almost impregnable armies deployed there."

The elder then turned to the other gorillas.

"Now, we must gather the rest of us. All our remaining teams will first break into the prison and release the warriors imprisoned by Gerud. Then we'll raid the armory and take any weapons and equipment we can get our hands on."
