I became light in American comics

This is a good opportunity to test the performance of the second-generation battle armor.

Shen You flipped his hand, and a beam of golden light from his palm struck a demon spirit that thought it had sneaked up from his blind spot. The demon spirit's face was instantly blasted open, its wings flapping as it crashed to the ground, its chin plunging into the earth and carving a long, sharp crack in the floor.

The most fatal type of brake is the one that hits the chin.

Seeing that its opponent had taken the damage with his face, the demon spirit thought to itself, "An opportunity!" It immediately accelerated and charged towards Shen You with a loud shout, opening its mouth to reveal its sharp teeth and bite at Shen You.

But Shen You seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, easily dodging the pounce with a light dodge, and then followed up with an elbow strike that ripped open the demon's cheek. The demon screamed and fell to the ground, where Shen You stomped on it.

At the same time, the launcher on his shoulder popped open, and the Specium warhead ignited and flew out. The three demons passing by in mid-air were all caught in the explosion and flames. The destructive Specium energy contained in the huge fireball that exploded pulverized the three brothers on the spot, crushing them into nothingness.

In terms of performance alone, the Specium projectile is certainly inferior to the Specium Ray. It is slower and less powerful than a ray. However, Shen You continued to choose it as a conventional weapon because it has its own advantages.

First, it requires no charging or loading, and Shen You doesn't even need to focus on aiming and releasing. The armor's AI automatically aims and fires, and it fires automatically from the shoulder without interfering with other operations, and it consumes zero energy—in comparison, the Specium Ray is considered a powerful attack, and its energy consumption is relatively high compared to other weapons.

Two more demon spirits charged forward side by side, their shouts deafening. These two seemed to be brothers, and they were somewhat skilled. One attacked the top lane, and the other attacked the bottom, demonstrating a clear division of labor. They both targeted areas where the enemy had to defend, intending to keep him busy.

But Shen You didn't dodge or flinch at all. He opened his right palm, and light energy poured out. The energy instantly condensed into a ring of light with flashing electric arcs in his palm, spinning around with a terrifying crackling sound.

Eight points of light!

However, this time it was not thrown out like a traditional light wheel, but remained in the palm of the hand, spinning steadily without dissipating.

With a swift movement of his feet, he suddenly closed in on the two demonic spirits, maintaining the halo in his palm and swinging it horizontally like a chainsaw used in close combat!

A blinding light swept across, a clear path of light tracing across the two demonic spirits. The crimson and silver armor flashed past their sides, causing the spirits to freeze in place until a white line appeared on their bodies. A dazzling light pierced through the white line, and the two spirits, their expressions of shock, were severed, their upper halves falling to the ground with a thud. Even in death, their eyes remained wide open in disbelief.

After slicing the two apart, Shen You didn't stop. His propulsion engine suddenly shot out, and with his super speed, he accelerated, leaving afterimages as he swayed to the next demon spirit.

The Eight-Point Light Wheel slashed out once more!

This time, the blade fell from above, slicing through a demon spirit's brains and splitting it in two from the top of the head to the groin, a truly gruesome death.

The demons trembled and were terrified at the sight of their comrade's gruesome death.

Seeing the situation was dire, the leader, the owl demon, flapped its wings and took off, breaking through the magical barrier and crashing through the underground structure, flying straight into the night sky of Gotham.

This idea is tricky; we'd better get out of here!

As the saying goes, when the father dies, the mother remarries, and everyone looks after themselves. Anyway, every demon knows that brotherhood is a joke. Since ancient times, the demon race has perfected the tactic of "collapse, retreat, sell, and escape." The biggest role of teammates is to sell themselves to the enemy so that they can quickly run away while counting their money.

However, it is not possible.

Shen You immediately realized that, based on the strength of the dark fluctuations, this flying owl was the one with the most experience points among all the walking creatures on the ground.

The moment this thing burst out of the ground, the armor system had already locked onto it from afar.

Shen You looked up, the positive and negative terminals of his arm armor connected, and a magnificent blue light pierced through layers of obstacles, locking onto the owl demon spirit's escape route as it burst out of the ground.

Specium Rays!

The owl demon flapped its wings and flew rapidly into the air, secretly congratulating itself on having betrayed its teammates quickly enough to save its life. Halfway through its flight, it suddenly sensed something was wrong. Looking down, it was instantly terrified. A scorching light, as if chasing from the depths of hell, relentlessly engulfed it in an instant.

boom!

The owl spirit exploded into the most dazzling fireworks in the night sky.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Gotham.

"The riddle teller is plotting something big."

On the rooftop, Batman's figure slowly emerged from the shadows. James Gordon, Gotham Police Department's last remaining upright officer, dropped his cigarette in surprise, staring wide-eyed at him.

"My God, where did you come from? How come I didn't make a sound?"

However, Gordon was a man of the world, and he quickly and calmly accepted the fact that this bat-like transvestite madman had a built-in teleportation ability in the shadows.

“The Riddler hasn’t been active for two weeks,” Gordon said. “Are you sure it’s him this time?”

"At a crime scene earlier tonight, surveillance footage captured the presence of a veteran Gotham enforcer. His name is Crone Scott, and I fought with him last month. He works for the Riddler."

Gordon frowned: "Maybe the Riddler just disappeared and then went to find a new employer."

"No. My equipment detected residual signals in certain frequency bands on-site, which at first glance didn't seem to have any particular meaning. But upon further investigation, the pattern looked like a question mark shape."

Gordon exhaled a smoke ring.

"Is he issuing a challenge?"

“I’m afraid so,” Batman said coolly. “However, Scott left a handprint at the scene, from which I extracted some dust containing phosphates and calcium, some rare mixture.”

It likely originated from a catacombs, a historic tourist attraction in Gotham. Built in the 18th century to protect the city from disease-ridden cemeteries, the catacombs quickly became so popular that people could only preserve a single bone when burying their loved ones.

Gordon took the compiled documents from him, adjusted his glasses, and began to carefully peruse them.

"So that's likely where the Riddler is hiding. Your ability to track this place down in such a short time is astonishing as ever."

boom!

A blinding light suddenly shot into the sky from countless blocks away, illuminating the night in an instant. A fireball exploded briefly in the darkness before quickly returning to silence.

"What's going on?"

Gordon, who was reading documents, was suddenly drawn to the explosion.

As he turned his head, he saw Batman with one foot already on the edge of the building, stealthily raising his grappling hook, trying to sneak away while Gordon wasn't looking.

Gordon turned his head and caught him in that awkward pose, holding the grappling hook gun but not yet having a chance to fire it.

A gentle evening breeze blew by, lifting a corner of Batman's cape.

A slightly awkward atmosphere filled the air.

A few seconds later, Gordon exhaled a smoke ring and said softly.

"You know I can turn my head away now. Do it again, and I can pretend I didn't see anything."

Chapter 54 (Important!) Please continue reading!

The book's current readership is quite good; it would have had a chance to reach 10,000 subscribers last year. However, this year the requirements for recommended reading on the website for fanfiction are much higher, and then it coincided with the summer vacation when many established authors were also involved. What used to be enough for a book to get on the Sanjiang list with just over 2,000 subscribers now can't even get us past 4,000 subscribers.

But let's do our best and leave the rest to fate. The data is already very good, and I'm really grateful for everyone's support!

Then I heard that they're now comparing readership data for each chapter released every Monday, so I absolutely, positively want to read tomorrow night's chapter! Please!

Thank you in advance!!!

Chapter 55 Demon

Beneath Gotham, within the protective barrier.

Afterimages flew everywhere as beams of light and explosions erupted one after another. The demons scattered in panic, beams of light and missiles crisscrossing the area, creating chaos within the hall with continuous booming sounds.

"enough!"

A powerful voice suddenly rang out like a great bell, echoing dully in the sealed hall.

All the demons trembled upon hearing this voice, immediately stopping their movements and bowing respectfully. An invisible pressure swept over them like an overwhelming force.

At the far end of the main hall, a wisp of black mist appeared, swirling and transforming into a mirror-like shape. Within that mirror, a ghostly figure emerged, its appearance grotesque and blurry, its scarlet eyes looking down coldly at the outer hall through the mirror.

This appearance and presence were on a completely different level from the demons below.

Unsure of what was going on, Shen You refrained from making any rash moves and asked Pal, "What are we watching? Some kind of magic similar to video communication technology?"

“No, the Time-Space Bracelet detected a weakening of the spatial barrier,” Pal said. “That’s not an image, sir, but some kind of space-related magic. It might be connecting to a magical dimension.”

"Just like the one we saw in the Temple of Eternity?"

"almost."

The setting of Shazam! introduces the DC universe as having numerous magical dimensions, each harboring various magical threats. These include everything from demonic realms and hellish realms to Cthulhu mythos.

It seems that the "that person" these demons are talking about is also a powerful being from some other dimension.

The blurry outline, seen through the mirror, stared coldly at Shen You and spoke.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Belial."

Shen You: "!?"

What? Beria?

Upon hearing this name, Shen You instantly became alert, his first thought being that a notorious wanted criminal from the Land of Light had followed him to this world.

Belial, also known as Belial the Black, is a household name in the Land of Light. He is a rare problem child in the long history of the Land of Light. After turning evil, he wielded a stick and fought his way through the Land of Light, from the South Gate of Heaven all the way to Penglai East Road. In the end, it was Ultraman King, Deus Ex, who suppressed him with a single blow, imprisoning him under the Five Finger Mountain—no, he was imprisoned in the Space Prison.

However, Shen You quickly realized that it was probably just a coincidence of names.

The name Belial originates from the Jewish legend of the king of hell, and this image has been referenced by countless bosses in parallel universe fantasy works. The Belial that Shen You is familiar with is just one of them.

What he was facing at that moment was probably a demon from DC's own territory called "Belial".

“You are not human, I can sense that.”

"That Belial spoke from behind the mirror."

"You are powerful, but you don't belong here. This world, these humans, have nothing to do with you. No, or rather, beings with such great power as you and me are gods in this world."

Domination is our birthright, and those insignificant, ant-like individuals are destined to be ruled by us!

His tone gradually rose, and a seductive light flickered in his scarlet eyes.

"Join me! We will become the kings of the new world, and all humanity will submit! We will conquer more worlds and more dimensions, becoming the masters of countless worlds!"

"Hmm, that does sound quite appealing."

Shen You appeared to be deep in thought, as if he was indeed seriously considering the proposal.

"You could argue with that. Why don't you come out of that mirror, and then we can have a proper discussion about this idea?"

"Haha, I love a straightforward and strong person like you. Good!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a thick black mist billowed out from the mirror. A figure slowly stepped out from the swirling black smoke, passing directly through the mirror.

A humanoid figure exuding an aura of evil, with dark red eyes. He had jagged fangs, jet-black curly hair, and a tall, slender build. His hard skin, seemingly composed of extraterrestrial elements, was a pale gray color, and he possessed a pair of fallen angel-like wings, radiating a chilling aura.

Every demon present knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe, as if the invisible pressure had formed unseen chains.

Belial landed gently in front of Shen You and bowed gracefully and politely.

“It’s a pleasure to finally meet you. I’ve heard my subordinates’ spirits mention you. I’ve always respected the strong.” He said with a smile, “Now my spirits are fully prepared.”
