I became light in American comics.

Chapter 686 Alliance

Apokolips, the place where the new gods of destruction reside.

"you!"

Darkseid rose from his throne, Omega flames igniting in the corners of his eyes.

"Yes, me."

Shen You landed lightly in front of him.

It still possesses a body in its light and dark form, but its shape has undergone further changes. The predominantly white torso is covered with black and gold stripes. The golden mark of the Speed ​​Force is imprinted on its body, forming a lightning bolt shape.

"You've changed quite a bit, you man of light," Darkseid said coldly. "I see you haven't wasted the time since we met."

Even so, coming to me alone like this is still not a wise choice.

"Why? So you don't get dragged across half the sector and executed again?"

Darkseid narrowed his eyes, a hint of anger appearing on his face, and the flames of Omega grew even brighter.

"You will regret this foolish behavior."

The crimson light was as intense as molten lava. Darkseid stood motionless with his hands behind his back, the crimson light bursting from his eyes.

The beam of light left strange trails the moment it was fired, as if defying the laws of physics, making several turns in mid-air, like a cunning swarm of snakes, each turn accompanied by a distortion of space.

Omega rays!

This wasn't the first time Shen You had faced this power, but it was undoubtedly the strongest he had ever encountered. Previously, he had faced either Darkseid's clones, or weapons, equipment, or metal golems utilizing the Omega effect. But none of those could compare to the power before him.

Now he has come to Apokolips in person to face Darkseid himself, the strongest wielder of Omega power, the new god of destruction.

Perhaps just a few days ago he couldn't have faced such power head-on, but things are different now.

In this universe—no, in this entire multiverse—Shen You can feel that there are very few things he cannot do.

Therefore, he calmly extended one finger.

So composed, so calm, as if everything was under his control. The raging Omega energy, upon contact, seemed to be drawn in by an invisible force, swept into an invisible vortex, and gathered towards his fingertips.

Those restless, arrogant, and terrifying energies suddenly became docile in front of him, condensing into a fiery red sphere along the direction of the vortex, quietly hovering at Shen You's raised fingertip.

With a slight flick of his finger, the Omega orb spun at his fingertip like a basketball.

Darkseid's eyes widened.

"Impossible," he said.

"As you can see."

Shen You flicked his finger lightly.

The docile sphere of Omega light suddenly became frenzied again under his fingertip movements, bursting back along the path it had come from. The powerful impact exploded in front of Darkseid's chest, causing the dark god to stagger backward, black smoke billowing from his chest.

"Omega's threat to me is a thing of the past, Darkseid."

Shen You gracefully landed in front of him, looking down at Darkseid who was kneeling on the ground.

Darkseid raised his head, his face grim, as if to say, "When have I, Darkseid, ever suffered such humiliation?"

He roared, and his body suddenly exploded with power. His enormous fist contained terrifying force, and the resulting wind pressure was like a hurricane sweeping across the world.

boom!!!

A tremendous explosion resounded, and the shockwave rippled outwards from the throne. The force was released into the air, blasting through the roof and soaring into the sky, as if to pierce through the entire Fourth World.

Missed.

Just as his punch was about to land, Shen You calmly flicked his wrist with his palm. The gentle and invisible force instantly deflected the direction of his attack, redirecting the destructive power of the punch into the air.

"I told you, this is..."

Shen You deflected Darkseid's punch with his left palm, then clenched his right fist and delivered a powerful swinging punch that struck Darkseid's cheek with a loud thud. The latter immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood and staggered back another step.

"A waste of time"

Shen You continued to advance, his right hand swiftly grabbing Darkseid's shoulder and pulling him back. At the same time, his right knee slammed down, almost shattering Darkseid's jaw.

"...and then there's the self-inflicted suffering."

Darkseid groaned and took a half step back, but still managed to regain his footing and throw a counter-punch. However, Shen You's body crackled with electricity, and he easily dodged the punch by sidestepping, followed by a counter-attack with an elbow strike that made Darkseid's head spin again.

It's not just about power; it's far more than just divine power that can't be described by numbers.

He could sense that, interspersed within those simple punches and kicks, something higher and more terrifying was invading his body.

It was a power that made Darkseid feel as if his body was about to disintegrate, his blood was surging, and his cells were trembling—a power that even his proud Omega could not withstand.

For a fleeting moment, he almost felt as if he were being disintegrated. He even experienced hallucinations, as if he had briefly transformed into someone else, someone else, in another time and space, becoming another being.

His entire existence as a god of destruction was almost completely overwritten.

"Ughhh!!!"

Darkseid coughed up blood and staggered back onto his throne. The entire palace shook violently, as if it were about to collapse along with the surrounding space.

Shen You remained floating in place, calmly watching him.

"Have you had enough?"

Darkseid squinted and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"The Equation of Life," he said coldly. "It's unbelievable that my brother was once the closest person to it in the multiverse. They studied it day and night for billions of years, but they could never make any further progress."

And in the end, it was you who first came into contact with this power, a being of light, a pure outsider.

Sometimes, fate's choices cannot be determined by human will.

A voice rang out from above.

The sonic tunnel opened in mid-air, and the Most High Father, with his hands behind his back and a scepter in one hand, slowly walked out.

"Sometimes even God can't help you," he said calmly. "It seems neither of us is ultimately chosen by fate, Darkseid."

Darkseid snorted heavily, glared at Shen You, and said nothing more.

"Looks like you've found a powerful enough ally," he said coldly. "The power of the Life Equation is enough to deal with the Anti-Monitors, so what are you doing here?"

"As I said, the Anti-Monitor is not the same as before. He has devoured countless worlds and become more powerful than ever before, and he has some unknown help that has given him new powers that we have never seen before."

Even if Apocalypse and New Genesis unite, they cannot stop him now, and there is only one way to stop him.

I know that, just as I have studied the Equation of Life for so many years, you also have something you have been pursuing, Darkseid. And although you have never been able to fully control that power, there is no denying that you are the person in the multiverse who is closest to it.

And now, we need that power.

Darkseid narrowed his eyes and gave a low hum.

"You want the anti-life equation."
