Chapter 131 I'm Just a Clerk

Rozburg, a super prison built by the Kryptonians in the Phantom Zone, is home to some of the most notorious criminals in Kryptonian history.

Its current leader is presumed to be Astra's husband, Kara's uncle Norn, a typical hawk who is suspected of preparing a "Great Purge" plan to brainwash all of humanity and plotting to conquer Earth.

Based on information obtained from Astra and Qinglan, Shen You adjusted the radar detection frequency previously used to counter Brainiac, switching it to scan for Rozburg's signals. This way, the radar should be able to react immediately should Rozburg approach Earth's vicinity.

Just like it is now.

Shen You quickly marked the location on the radar, glanced at it, and frowned slightly.

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: "He can even walk through walls, you know that?"

"I don't know," Astra said calmly.

"I didn't know you were so calm about that?"

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 worked up, 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 planet with monsters."

"An entire planet like this!?"

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

"It's not that bad. 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 more outstanding individuals on their planet. If every person on the entire planet were like this, what would happen? That would be a god-like realm, wouldn't it?

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 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?

No way, 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 Aoran 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 many."

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 big cats and little cats in Rozburg, going up against a civilization of gods 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, based on the information you provided, I adjusted the radar, 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's probably 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, huh?"

Regardless, now that there was a clue, 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 a chance to take the initiative.

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," Carla said.

"What is it?"

"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: "?"
