I became light in American comics

Is a major purge about to begin?

Astra and Qinglan were imprisoned on the floor below his laboratory. He thought for a moment, then with a thought, his whole body was enveloped in light, and he fell directly through the wall, landing in the lower-level detention cell through the ceiling in a burst of light.

After all, his human form was just a disguise; his body was essentially a bunch of light particles. If the Flash could squeeze through atomic gaps by vibrating his body's atoms to pass through walls, phase transition penetration would be basic stuff for Shen You.

Qinglan stared wide-eyed at the human figure that had fallen directly through the wall.

A few seconds later, he turned to Astra and said, "He can even walk through walls, you know that?"

“I don’t know,” Astra said calmly.

"You don't know, yet you're still so calm?"

Qinglan was still horrified by Shen You's seemingly bottomless skill list.

"I guess it's because I'm used to it, it's no big deal," Astra said calmly.

Qinglan: "?"

No, what do you mean by this "giving up" attitude? It smells like a salted fish that's given up the struggle.

"Excuse me, ladies, but I have some questions to ask."

Shen You stepped forward and glanced at Qinglan, who looked like she had seen a ghost.

"Don't get so excited, it's just passing through a wall. In our area, it's not even considered a proper course. I learned it literally three thousand years ago."

Qinglan fell silent. She suddenly didn't know where to begin her complaint—whether it was the concept of three thousand years or the idea of ​​attending classes.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally couldn't help but ask, "You mean all of your abilities, all of them, were taught in class?"

“What, didn’t I tell you before?” Atlas crossed his arms and glanced at her. “This guy came from a place with a whole planet of monsters.”

"An entire planet like this!?"

Qinglan felt as if the boundaries of her imagination had been pushed to their limits, and she couldn't imagine what a planet with overpowered characters everywhere would be like, no matter how hard she tried.

“Not necessarily. Not everyone on our planet is like me,” Shen You said.

This put Qinglan at ease.

That makes sense. This guy might just be one of the most outstanding individuals on their planet. If every person on the entire planet were like this, what would that be like? It would be a god-like realm!

Then Shen You continued, "Actually, don't look at me like this. In our area, I'm just a scientist. No, not even a scientist. I'm just an intern who just graduated from school."

Strictly speaking, I'm a clerk, not a soldier. We have a higher-ups called the 'Space Garrison,' and those combat-oriented units are the real big shots. Compared to them, I'm just trash.”

Qinglan: "???"

Astra: "???"

You're just a clerk? Say that again.

Is she a recent graduate, an intern, or a clerk?

Seriously, is your place a wholesale market for gods? How dare a pervert like that call himself a clerk?

The two aliens were silenced for a short while.

Then Astra couldn't help but ask, "By the way, are there many people on your planet?"

Although Astra felt that her mental tolerance for the incredible power of the Light Star race had greatly improved, she still felt that if the number was too big, she would still be a little overwhelmed.

"Oh, we're a small planet with a small population," Shen You shrugged.

Astra and Qinglan exchanged a glance, their faces showing a relieved "I knew it" expression.

But before they could relax for even two seconds, the next sentence almost made them both spit out blood.

"The last census count was 18 billion; it should be slightly more now. I wonder how much."

The two aliens: "??????"

How much?

No, do you have some misunderstanding about the concept of "sparse population"?

There are plenty of people like him with a net worth of 18 billion, and according to him, he's just an ordinary one among them.

But in all honesty, Shen You was telling the truth.

18 billion sounds like a lot, but the vast majority of them are not warriors. On the contrary, they have an entire universe to manage. Since the beginning of the new generation, they have been managing more than just one universe. The Space Garrison is now expanding its operations to the entire multiverse within their worldview.

Shen You could swear to the plasma spark tower that this was definitely not Versailles; the guards were truly short-handed.

Qinglan cast another glance at Astra, her eyes seeming to speak volumes.

Maybe we should just wash up and go to bed. Krypton is finished. With our few remaining members in Rozburg, going up against a civilization like this seems like we'd be better off going after Brainiac.

Astra remained expressionless and returned a glance.

I've thought so for a long time.

"So, I adjusted the radar based on the information you provided, and this is the identification signal that was just detected near the moon, which partially matches the characteristics of Rozburg."

Shen You swiped open the floating interface, which appeared in front of the two of them.

"Can someone tell me what's going on?"

The two exchanged a glance and then leaned closer to the glass to examine the readings on the floating screen.

"This is our signal, but not Rozburg."

Qinglan shook her head and said.

"But if you ask me, it should be an outpost."

"An outpost?"

“Rodsburg is divided into many parts, and different areas can be separated and operated independently,” Qinglan said.

Astra added, "Setting up outposts before taking action is a basic principle of operations, and it's quite reasonable. Perhaps Norn is finally ready to launch his operation."

"An outpost?"

In any case, now that he had a lead, Shen You felt it was worthwhile to go and see for himself.

In fact, supervillains are often killed on the first encounter. Sometimes it's not that the good guys can't beat them, but rather that their position is often that the enemy is in the dark while they are in the light. Being caught off guard and passively attacked makes them easy to suffer a defeat.

Now that we have a clue, we have an opportunity to gain the upper hand.

As Shen You left the basement, he was planning to check the coordinates of the suspected outpost near the moon when he bumped into Kara.

“There’s been a little problem at the store,” Kara said.

"what's up?"

“Oh, it’s nothing really,” Kara said. “A madman called Two-Face came with a bunch of armed thugs, saying he was going to kidnap us.”

Shen You: "?"

Chapter 132 Ultraman Knocks on the Door

Hijacking? Our store?

Shen You's first reaction was that he had misheard.

After confirming the authenticity of the information with Kara, Shen You couldn't help but feel speechless at the two-faced man's bad luck.

No, there are hundreds or thousands of restaurants and cafes in Gotham, what are the odds of you picking our place?

To paraphrase the Flash from the TV series: Dude, if the next Olympics were to create a "World's Number One Unlucky Person Award," you'd definitely be the Usain Bolt of the unluckiest world.

Following Kara upstairs, they indeed found that the coffee shop on the ground floor had been taken over by Two-Face and his subordinates. Two henchmen with blue dragon and white tiger tattoos on their bodies, who looked like they were good fighters but not very smart, stood guard at the door like two gatekeepers, holding submachine guns.

The somber man sat at the table by the window. At first glance, his profile suggested a handsome, brooding man with impeccable features. But the other half of his face was a grotesque sight, enough to make anyone vomit their dinner from the previous night: bulging, terrifying eyes, burned, blood-red flesh, and cracked lips revealing yellowed teeth—the kind of image from an old-fashioned horror movie that would suddenly appear and leave you sleepless all night.

Two-Face, Harvey Dent, is an important character in the early stages of Batman's story. Originally a lawyer pursuing justice, he was disfigured by acid thrown at him in the Sal Maroney case, which caused him to develop two personalities, one good and one evil, making him one of Batman's main adversaries.

The current situation is that Gordon is leading his men in pursuit of Two-Face, chasing him all the way to the nearby streets, where Two-Face has suddenly run into this store. Gordon, fearing for the safety of the hostages, doesn't dare to give chase rashly, and instead surrounds the store from the outside. Two-Face is patiently waiting for Batman to come and engage him in a real fight, and he won't make a move until Batman arrives.

However, it was already dark, and there were no customers left in the store. So, to summarize, the only hostages Two-Face had when he stormed in included an Ultraman, a Kryptonian, a 9,000-year-old Shazam, a super gorilla, and a cat that could carry an airplane.

Looking at this lineup, it's really hard to say who's hijacking whom.

Shen You glanced at the armed thugs deployed in the shop and the double agent by the window, somewhat puzzled: "You didn't take him down?"

He found it strange that Two-Face could still leisurely sit there drinking coffee amidst such a lineup. It's no exaggeration to say that even a cat in this room could easily overpower them all.

“I did think about it, but Grandpa Wizard wouldn’t allow it.” Kara shrugged.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already taken care of it.” The old wizard leaned closer and said in a low voice, “I find the two-faced man quite interesting. His mind is so split, yet each part can maintain a clear consciousness independently.”

I've seen people with dissociative identity disorder before, but I've never seen anything as novel as this.

Shen You wasn't surprised. Of course, you've never been to Gotham before. You think this place is just a bunch of tales about outstanding people and beautiful scenery?

The split personality of Two-Face is essentially the opposition between his good and evil personalities. His disfigurement and tragic experiences gave rise to his personality that hates evil, while the other half of his face represents Harvey's remaining good personality.

Often, when he faces a difficult choice and stubbornly decides to flip a coin to determine his actions and right or wrong, it is actually a process of struggle between his good and evil thoughts.

Of course, since the emergence of the dual personality, malice has often prevailed, and Harvey's personality is mostly offline.

“I secretly cast a spell on one of his personalities, strengthening the consciousness of his weaker one.” The old wizard stroked his beard. “I’m curious to know what the effects of such a personality conflict in such a peculiar mind will be.”

I have a feeling that this might give me a new perspective on some spiritual spells.

Shen You was somewhat surprised. Ever since the old wizard came to the shop, he had been engrossed in researching pots and stoves all day long. It was rare for him to suddenly remember that he was still a wizard and start doing magical research again.

Since he was in such a good mood, Shen You let him have his way.

Anyway, these robbers didn't seem like they could possibly hurt anyone in this store.

If they don't hurt themselves.

Sure enough, whether the spell worked or not, the two-faced man was now sitting in his seat arguing fiercely.

The left and right halves of their faces are arguing.

“I really think this is wrong.” Harvey’s normal half of his face was full of guilt. “You’ve dragged so many innocent people into this.”

"Shut up, you sissy!" the two-faced man said viciously, his half-burned face exposed.

“But what if someone gets hurt?” Harvey said.
