I became light in American comics.

Chapter 663 Fellow Inmates

"That's a really impressive guy. Of course, so are you."

Zero, still with his arms crossed and leaning back, smiled and said...

"But I must say, I'm very impressed. It seems you haven't wasted your time abroad all these years. You've improved to this extent in the blink of an eye."

He rested his chin on his hand and began to ponder.

"It seems we need to consider sending new recruits to another planet for training, in addition to sending them there for further development."

It seems like Shen You has been away from the Land of Light for many years, but in terms of their lifespan and perception of time, it's just a blink of an eye. Looking back, even Shen You himself finds the progress he's made in those few short years as astonishing; it's definitely far more effective than going to a place like Earth to battle monsters and aliens.

Of course, this mainly relies on learning, research, and thinking, rather than practice. After all, he is considered a half-entry-level scientist in the Land of Light, and researching new things is more his specialty than wielding knives and guns.

On the other hand, it also depends on opportunity. He happened to arrive in a universe like DC, where opportunities abound. The Light of Hope, the Lamp of Life, and the Speed ​​Force are not things you can just stumble upon in any random alternate world.

However, the Land of Light has a unique characteristic: scientists have their methods, and brutes have their specialties. Don't be fooled by the fact that Sai Rabbit is a special recruit from a juvenile detention center and knows nothing about scientific research; humans have the special talent of learning through practice.

He didn't understand the operating principles or laws involved, but sometimes his body could miraculously understand, absorb, and transform things just by touching them, just like when he came into contact with cosmic energy next door.

Sometimes he doesn't need to know the principles, but even with brand-new powers, he can figure out how to use them after just a little trial.

Perhaps this is what a combat-type genius is all about.

Shen You doesn't have that kind of talent; he can only use his brain, so he has to study and research more.

At this moment, a wisp of black mist rose up from the ground that had been blasted by his white light, surging restlessly, and it seemed to be gradually gathering energy back into a physical form.

"This thing is still alive!?" Zero exclaimed in surprise.

He had just witnessed the Black Death Emperor being struck head-on by Shen You's white light impact, his entire body shattering and being scattered into countless points of light at the molecular level.

Even something like this can regenerate. No, it's not even certain whether it can still be called "regeneration".

This is practically a concept of immortality.

Even for him, things with such tenacious vitality were truly rare.

"Oh, his name is Black Death Emperor, the embodiment of death. How to put it, he is one of the physical manifestations of the concept of 'death,' and he can never die no matter how you kill him," Shen You explained calmly.

"I see."

Zero seemed to be deep in thought.

"However, the way you calmly explained this to me, it seems like you planned this all along?"

"Of course. I didn't just blast him to smithereens for fun."

Shen You paused, tilted his head, and thought for a moment.

Not entirely.

"."

A black mist stirred, and the energy of the black lamp surged. The aura of death materialized into bones, followed by pale flesh that clung to them—arms and torso, a withered head, and empty eyes filled with ferocity.

"I told you, you cannot kill death!"

The Black Death Emperor roared indistinctly.

"No matter how many times, I will... Huh? What is this!?"

He looked around, only to find that after the loading bar restarted, all he was surrounded by was pitch blackness. An endless darkness churned around him, utterly empty.

He tried to move, but felt as if a million tons of weight were pressing down on him. The churning darkness contained endless pressure, making it almost impossible for him to move.

"What!?"

The Black Death Emperor was greatly alarmed.

"Where am I? What have you done?!"

"Don't get excited, this is your own battery, and it's your new home from today onwards," Shen You said with a smile. "Get used to it."

After adapting to his environment, he was able to see the outside world again.

Sure enough, it was his enormous black light battery.

Inside a subspace containment pod of a spaceship orbiting the Earth.

"You!" the Black Death Emperor roared in fury, "How dare you imprison death! You...you...you will be punished!"

"Yes, yes, I'm waiting."

As Shen You spoke, he retreated from the subspace. He was still chatting with Zero beside him before leaving.

"Are all the villains in every world equally unoriginal, always repeating the same few lines?"

"Ha, you're right."

Zero and he put their arms around each other's shoulders and walked away together.

The warp was sealed off, and the Black Death Emperor continued to hurl insults: "Dirty creatures of light! Abominable invaders! You wait, you cannot imprison death forever!"

One day I will emerge, I will return! The darkest night will inevitably fall, and even you cannot stop it.

He was cursing and spitting as he did so in his darkened cell when suddenly a voice rang out from the side.

"Hey, save your breath, newbie."

"Shut up! I am the invincible Black Death Emperor! How dare you call me 'Eh'?"

The enraged Black Death Emperor finally calmed down, turned his head and saw that there was actually a large light next to his dark room.

It was a golden lantern. Through the swirling golden light in the center of the lantern, one could vaguely see what looked like a ferocious worm inside.

She was lazily watching him, dozing off inside.

Parallax?

The Black Death Emperor was shocked.

Isn't this the parallax monster incarnate? It's gotten this bad after just a few days?

"You're imprisoned here too?" the Black Death Emperor asked curiously. "Have you been here all along?"

"Yeah, yeah, I've been here for ages. But let me tell you upfront, I was the first one here, you newbie."

Black Death Emperor: "."

No, if he understands correctly, this should be a fellow inmate, right?

Why do you sound so superior when you're the one who's been imprisoned?

You're supposed to be the embodiment of fear, don't you feel ashamed to have such a strong salty smell?

"Hmph, how ugly."

The Black Death Emperor sneered, making no attempt to hide his contempt for the strange creature.

"Don't lump me in with someone as lowly as you. I don't represent childish things like fear, but death! Sooner or later, everything will return to death!"

One day I will get out of here, and I will find the intruders and settle accounts with them all! No one can stop the Darkness.

"Alright, alright, I got it."

Parallax Monster impatiently waved its tentacles.

"All newcomers are like you, everyone thinks they're special, but after a while they realize they're all the same. Oh, by the way, actually, once you've been here long enough, you'll find it's not as bad as you thought. It's actually quite comfortable once you get used to it."

Black Death Emperor: "."
