Chapter 129 The New Family Brotherhood

Gorilla City.

"Thank you so much for everything, outsider."

The elder gorilla, who had regained power, thanked Shen You repeatedly.

"If it weren't for you, not only would we old bones be dead by now, but Ape City would probably already be at war with humans, and destruction would be inevitable."

"It's nothing, just a small favor," Shen You said with a smile.

Moreover, he had already gained a great deal from his trip to Gorilla City. Furthermore, after their exchange, the gorilla elders agreed to grant him access to the literature on the Speed ​​Force research contained in their library, which would help him to further understand the rules underlying the Speed ​​Force.

"Are you really not the messenger of lightning?" Elder Gorilla looked at him suspiciously.

"No, it's not."

"Okay. Anyway, thank you very much. You probably helped us through the biggest crisis in Gorilla City's history."

The elders have decided that we will erect a statue of you in Gorilla Plaza to express our gratitude, so that our descendants will always remember your helping hand in that crucial moment. What do you think of the effect?

It waved its hand as it spoke. A gorilla henchman brought over some kind of display device, showing a conceptual model of the statue.

With its pure white design and lifelike lines, it may be a bit abstract, but it has undeniably captured the essence of Ultraman.

"You really don't need to."

"Of course it's necessary. Gorilla City never forgets any ally who lends a helping hand in crucial moments."

The elder gorilla waved his hand, and his subordinates took the display equipment away.

"While we're talking, our most professional sculptor has already started working. We plan to name this piece 'Noah,' what do you think?"

"No, wait, change it." Shen You quickly made a gesture to stop him.

No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense. You can't just call someone by that name.

"Alright, alright." The elder gorilla looked a little disappointed, though he seemed to quite like the name. "Then let's change it."

At this moment, a nearby gorilla couldn't help but ask, "So what do we do now, Elder?"

"Yes, we've lost lightning."

"We have no future, do we?"

"No," said the elder gorilla. "For generations we have relied on lightning to guide our way and on the Lord to lead us forward. But a new era is about to begin, and it is time for us to forge our own path."

Each of us has the right to control our own destiny; we can decide the future of this city.

"But Gerud says we'll be destroyed because of this," one of the gorillas said uneasily, "just like the Mayans who were chosen by lightning in history."

"Don't worry, that won't happen again," Shen You said. "The Maya were destroyed because of the overflow of the Speed ​​Force's energy, but it will never happen again. The Speed ​​Force now has its pressure relief valve, and the chosen ones, the 'Children of Lightning' you speak of."

In fact, it's the opposite of what Gerudo said. If he were dead, the Speed ​​Force would continue to expand, potentially leading to your destruction, and possibly the entire world. Conversely, as long as he runs, you are safe, everyone is safe. There will be no more uncontrolled Speed ​​Force energy, no more civilizations will be swept into the spacetime rift.

After saying goodbye to the gorillas, Shen You went to the gorilla city library and downloaded all the Speed ​​Force-related literature that he thought might be useful, returning home with a full load.

Then we went back to Midtown first.

The Gorilla Wars ended, and the remaining gorillas under Gerudo's command in Midtown were all captured as prisoners of war. Gerudo was dead, and the only water pipe connecting them to the Speed ​​Force had been severed. Disarmed, they posed no threat to the human army.

The streets of Midtown are still a mess, and there seems to be a lot of cleanup work to be done. However, some noise has already started to emerge from the streets.

"His name is Ultraman, I've seen him online! He beat that alien robot to a pulp in Metropolis!"

"Did you see him fighting? So cool!"

"I'm sure there are other heroes here. One second I was almost crushed by a gorilla, the next I'm in the shelter. But I didn't see who it was."

"."

When Shen You found Barry, he had already gone home and was in his apartment, eating a large bucket of fried chicken and a box of pizza.

"Sorry," Barry mumbled between bites, "but I'm just so hungry. I never imagined I could get this hungry; I feel completely drained."

"That's how it is with rapid consumption; you'll get used to it," Shen You said. "On the bright side, you can eat pizza, fried chicken, and chocolate without gaining weight."

"That makes sense. By the way, I saw you subdue that gorilla, it was really cool, bro, you're amazing. Okay, now I'm 100% sure you're not an agent of the Sky Eye."

Are you an alien? Or human? I mean, like Superman said, someone who lives on Earth?

Shen You smiled.

"Both."

"Cool." Barry handed him a slice of pizza. "Want one?"

"No, I have things to take care of and need to go back. But before that," Shen You reminded him, "Are you sure you haven't forgotten anything?"

"What?"

Barry stopped eating and tilted his head, thinking for a while.

Then his eyes widened suddenly, and the pizza slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

"Ugh!" He smacked his lips twice. "Damn it, those deadbeats! Damn it, it's all those gorillas' fault, they completely forgot about this."

"."

A few minutes later, the two had returned to the rooftop where they had been sniping.

"I've been tied up here all day!"

Lawton was furious when he saw the two of them.

"I'm here watching a whole city of gorillas jumping around, and explosions everywhere."

And then there's that biggest gorilla! Do you know how close those two freaks were to me when they were fighting?! I almost got slapped to death!

"I'm sorry, I was so busy before that I completely forgot about you," Barry said apologetically.

"And what's with that stupid cat on your head?" Deadshot asked, his eyes glazed over.

"Hey, this is Hello Kitty, what's so stupid about it?" Barry straightened his headgear. "Superheroes always have some equipment issues when they first start out, so please understand."

"What's the point? I already know who you are," Lawton said coldly.

"That's true."

As the saying goes, "A hero dies before he can even begin," and the Flash is already facing an identity crisis before he's even made his debut. Barry was a little discouraged and turned to look at Shen You.

"What are the chances that we can get him to keep my secret?"

"He's an assassin, don't you think?" Shen You shrugged.

Barry counted on his fingers as if doing some calculation: "Hmm, rounding up or down, it's roughly equivalent to nothing."

"Ha, that's more like it." Lawton grinned maliciously. "I've memorized your face, kid. Nothing you do will shut me up."

Barry looked at Shen You: "Is it possible that we could drug him and make him lose his memory?"

Lawton: "!?"

"Or to put it more simply," Shen You suggested, "maybe you could punch him hard enough to cause him physical amnesia."

Lao Dun: "!"

Is it really okay for you to openly plot in front of the parties involved?

The person involved couldn't sit still any longer and threatened fiercely, "I swear, if you dare to do this, I..."

The two turned their heads at the same time, looking at Deadshot with blank expressions.

He swallowed the rest of his words, "I'm exhausted."

"Please don't do that," he said. "I promise I won't tell anyone."

His words were almost pleading.

Barry glanced at Shen You: "Do you think he's trustworthy?"

"That's not very believable. But I have an idea." Shen You shrugged. "I'll ask a sorcerer to cast an amnesia spell on him, and he'll forget everything when he wakes up from a nap."

"real!?"

Barry's eyes lit up, but then he seemed to remember something and hesitated, saying, "Such a powerful mage must charge a hefty fee, right? You might not know the situation, but I'm barely managing to pay my rent right now, so I probably can't afford to hire one."

"It's alright, he doesn't need much," Shen You smiled. "Just give him a pot."

"What should I send?"

Barry doubted he had heard correctly.

So Barry used a pot to invite "that wizard" who guards the Rock of Eternity, successfully making Deadshot forget his superpowers, and everyone was happy.

Shen You returned to the coffee shop, bringing a new friend with him.

"Go say hello to Titano."

Shen You put the little monkey down in the shop. The little guy clung tightly to its teddy bear, cautiously surveying its surroundings.

"So cute!"

Kara suddenly appeared as if she had teleported, and scooped up the little monkey.

Just then, Stryker the Kryptonian cat happened to be passing by, yawning.

"Stretch, come and meet your new friend."

Kara placed the baby monkey in front of Stryker.

"Meow?"

Stryker tilted his head.

Titano looked down at the tiny animal, which was even smaller than himself, and suddenly felt more confident.

After being shrunk by Ultraman, everything looked huge to it and it felt very uncomfortable. Now, it was finally able to see something smaller than itself again.

"grumble."

Titano greeted him in a friendly manner and thumped his chest, as if showing off his immense strength.

It basically means, don't be afraid, I'll protect you from now on.

"Meow?"

Stryker tilted his head; although he couldn't understand the language, he roughly understood that it seemed to be demonstrating power.

Then its eyes suddenly heated up, and with a whoosh, a burst of heat shot out with its heat vision.

"grumble!?"

Good heavens, this cat can shoot lasers!

Titano shuddered, then quickly realized a horrifying truth.

Could I be the weakest one here?

What family hierarchy?
