I became light in American comics.

Chapter 115 Want to try something new?

Shen You was increasingly grateful that he had paid attention in the fighting courses in the Land of Light.

This is yet another point of convergence between DC and the Ultraman universe, and the same principle applies even to the Marvel universe next door.

For superhumans in the early stages of these extraordinary systems within these worldviews, combat skills are crucial. Strong skills and rich experience can often help lower-level superhumans defeat monsters of higher levels.

As the superhuman strength tree continues to advance, these things seem to become irrelevant. At this stage, powerful superpowers appear to be far more important than melee combat abilities; things like rewriting matter, recombining molecules, and rewriting reality—fancy, conceptual abilities are what truly matter.

However, as the combat power system continues to expand to higher levels, there is a sense of returning to simplicity among some powerful beings. For example, multiverse-level gods like Darkseid, when facing opponents of the same level as themselves, and when all conceptual methods become ineffective, hand-to-hand combat once again becomes the mainstream method for determining victory.

Even the only appearance of Superman's strongest form, "Mind Machine Superman," which fans often use to assess combat power, in a final battle against the ultimate demon Mandraklach, who destroyed the multiverse, still involved a brutal hand-to-hand combat between two gods whose every move could destroy countless universes.

It carries a sense that "all royal blood must end with the sword." And in times like these, the value of the combat courses in the Land of Light's education system immediately becomes apparent.

For example, like right now.

Perhaps due to his overconfidence in his divine power, Apollo wasn't particularly skilled in combat techniques. Although he may have trained, in the original comics, when facing Diana, he often relied on his divine power to suppress her, and his skills were actually inferior to Wonder Woman's.

This is where Shen You's operational advantage comes into play.

Shen You easily deflected the Sun God's whip kick with a forearm punch, then interrupted Apollo's second consecutive kick with a slap, and used his hand to strike the leg joint that the old man couldn't stop in time.

The joint strike caused exponential damage, and Apollo grunted, taking a half-step back. But before he could regain his footing, a golden, powerful punch struck him squarely in the chest.

Like a sudden, dull blow, his breath caught in his throat, and before he could react, a barrage of punches and palm strikes rained down on him like a storm.

The barrage of attacks rained down on Apollo's chest, each strike accompanied by golden ripples of light energy, as if countless radiant lotuses were exploding before him. The relentless barrage forced Apollo to stumble backward, his mouth opening to spew forth golden flames like blood.

The warship that used star energy to bombard Shen You is now lying in his subspace as spoils of war. After Apollo's solar radiation hit, Shen You immediately felt his power surge again, pouring energy into every punch as if it were free, which is why each punch had a special effect.

Apollo's mind was foggy, his limbs felt as heavy as lead. The sun god swayed, struggling to raise his arm, instinctively trying to retaliate. But Shen You caught his wrist, twisted his body, and with a powerful thrust of his shoulder and hips, executed a classic first-generation over-the-shoulder throw. The sun god's massive body was instantly flung over his shoulder, slamming heavily to the ground. The entire hall trembled, and dust fell in a flurry.

Before he could react, Shen You turned around again, grabbed Apollo by the arm, and hoisted him up once more.

Two consecutive over-the-shoulder throws!

With three consecutive throws, Apollo was tossed and slammed on his shoulders like a lump of mud, leaving him completely disoriented and disoriented.

Hephaestus, standing nearby, was now silent and had nothing more to say.

Logically speaking, among the twelve main gods, the Sun God, while not the strongest, was certainly one of the more formidable war gods. Yet, in the hands of this strange alien visitor, he was practically nothing more than a tattered, glowing rag.

Of course, Shen You was also aware that the Olympian gods were not weak. It was just that Apollo, as the sun god, was unfortunately the one whose attributes countered his own. In addition, since he had crushed Old Bros. in Metropolis, his own level had been increasing at a breakneck pace. Furthermore, the other side might have been a bit arrogant and underestimated him, which is why it looked like he was beating his son.

Of course, for the uninformed general public, the shocking scene of beating up the sun god was absolutely stunning.

Moreover, this original over-the-shoulder throw, though seemingly ordinary, is actually a signature move. It's worth noting that in actual combat, Man often used this move without using any special effects, simply throwing monsters to their deaths.

The third slam came down, whether because he realized he seemed to be caught in some kind of infinite combo that he couldn't break, or because he was furious and couldn't bear the humiliation.

The sun god exploded.

This is not an exaggeration. Apollo roared as he landed, his body radiating golden light, as if he were burning!

Upon seeing this scene, Shen You's DNA stirred, and he was instinctively startled.

He's very familiar with this move!

Their number one terrorist in the Land of Light, the walking bomb prince, always looks like this whenever things go wrong in a fight.

Blow up!

Without a second thought, Shen You grabbed Apollo's arm and lifted him up again. At this moment, only a small portion of the energy the sun god had injected into his body had been utilized, and with the energy overflowing, he felt boundless power.

Powered by the light, he lifted the sun god and threw it upwards with all his might!

The mountain was blasted straight through, and the burning Apollo, trailing flames, soared into the sky with terrifying divine power, like a rocket being launched into the air.

boom!!!

The violent explosion resembled a supernova exploding high in the sky. A brilliant heatwave burst forth, causing the surrounding mountains to collapse and rocks to tumble down.

But looking at that dazzling ball of fire, I somehow felt it conveyed a sense of "I will definitely come back."

The mountain where Hephaestus was located seemed to be protected by a magical barrier and remained unharmed, but the roof had a large hole after being thrown like that.

Shen You looked up, and under Ultraman's scanning vision, he discovered that Apollo had disappeared from mid-air. A burst of light energy surrounded his entire body, and his body disintegrated into light particles, turning into a ball of photons and returning to the armor.

"He's dead?" He turned to look at Diana.

"God doesn't die easily," she said.

Shen You nodded. He had actually guessed it, because the comics described Ares, the God of War, in the same way. Ares was also Wonder Woman's classic villain, like a persistent pest, always popping up to cause trouble. He could be beheaded, impaled, or even blasted to smithereens, but he would always be alive and kicking again. Diana's explanation for this was that as long as war didn't end, Ares would not die.

Of course, this doesn't mean these gods are truly immortal. There are precedents for the fall of gods, but killing them is quite difficult.

"Where were we? Oh, right."

Shen You turned to Hephaestus and said with a serious expression.

"I'm so sorry for damaging your house."

"It's alright, it's alright. Like I said, I've been wanting to renovate for a while now." Hephaestus smiled and waved his hand magnanimously.

They seemed much more polite than when I first came in.

"And I'm sorry for killing your pet."

"Oh, it's no big deal."

Vulcan waved his hand, looking quite forthright.

"To be honest, I've been fed up with it for a while now. It keeps howling all night long, keeping everyone awake. I was ready to kill it anyway if you didn't do something about it. Oh, by the way, are you guys hungry? How about I just chop this fish up and we can all have a taste?"

Shen You: "."

Who just said it was irreplaceable, like their own child?
