I became light in American comics

Follow me and lead a team to draw attention, while the rest of you will split into three groups to encircle and attack Gerud's fortress.

Although the chances are slim, we must give it a try.

"Uh, elder?" A gorilla weakly raised his hand.

"What's going on, Walter? This is a critical moment. Don't interrupt me while I'm explaining the plan," Elder Gorilla said, displeased.

"No, Elder, but I think it might not be necessary to go through all that trouble," the gorilla pointed behind the elder.

The elder turned around, took a closer look, and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Just as he was speaking and assigning tasks, the foreigner in the red and silver armor silently charged towards the central fortress.

Then came a series of loud explosions.

Flames soared into the sky, smoke filled the air, and all weapons, turrets, combat aircraft, and tanks were activated. The sheer scale and intensity of the scene made it seem as if two massive armies were engaged in battle.

Explosions raged, sending tanks and burning metal debris flying everywhere. Flames from the explosions spread from the outer perimeter towards the central fortress. The apes' aircraft burst open and crashed like punctured balloons.

In a mere minute, the red and silver afterimage charged through the "indestructible" armies described by the elders. A gap was blasted open on the outside of the fortress with a loud bang, and he burst through the smoke and disappeared into the opening.

An eerie silence fell over the gorillas on the hillside.

After a moment, one of the gorillas looked at the elder and asked, "Do we still need to gather more people?"

Elder: "."

For some reason, the wise elder suddenly felt that he looked a bit dull.

The central fortress and temple of Gorilla City.

A magnificent pillar, its surface shimmering with a pale golden light. Its surface is densely covered with ancient bas-reliefs, exquisite and rich. But the most striking feature is undoubtedly the symbol at its very center, surrounded by various patterns—a symbol with distinct outlines, mysterious and profound.

A flash of lightning.

This is no ordinary pillar. It is a pillar built by the gorilla Grud using the knowledge and technology passed down through generations in Gorilla City, and is called a "lightning rod" by the gorillas.

At that time, Grud had just completed a coup and ascended the throne. According to the rules of Gorilla City, only the king of the gorillas was qualified to receive the oracle of the Speed ​​Force.

So Gerud couldn't wait to try and accept the oracle.

Of course, it can't really be a direct dialogue, since the Speed ​​Force is an abstract concept rather than a concrete entity. So so-called oracles are often just fragments obtained in a way similar to a dream, or thoughts that suddenly pop into the mind like inspiration.

However, to put it abstractly, this is roughly what Gruud's first oracle was like.

Gruud: Speed ​​Force, Speed ​​Force, tell me, who is the fastest being in the world?

Speed ​​Force: Of course, it's my soon-to-be godson, my adorable Barry!

Grud (enraged): Impossible! I am the fastest being in the world! My Speed ​​Force is unmatched!

Speed ​​Force: We are very sorry, your Speed ​​Force membership expired on [Date]. All recharge and renewal channels are now closed. Goodbye.

Gerud: I'm so angry!

So it erected this pillar. It called it a "lightning rod," and kept saying it wanted to "take control of its own destiny." But in reality, it just meant that their network was blocked, and this pillar was stealing bandwidth from the Speed ​​Force.

At this moment, dark clouds filled the sky outside Gorilla City, and thunder roared incessantly, with lightning flashing like thunder dragons churning in the dark clouds.

The apes have revered lightning for generations; that fear is ingrained in their DNA. Even the apes who follow Gruud feel a sense of dread whenever they encounter such weather.

At this moment, a trusted aide beside Gerudo couldn't help but whisper, "King Gerudo, is what we're doing really a good thing? Won't we anger the Great Lightning?"

Gruud glared at it fiercely, and the gorilla quickly shrank back.

"That's just what I was saying."

"Ha, cowardice." Grud chuckled. "I've already said, the Speed ​​Force is just a natural phenomenon, a tool that can be controlled. If it really had a problem, why bother with this bluff? Why not just unleash a bolt of divine lightning and blast my palace through?"

Rumble!

Before the words were even finished, the roof was blown apart with a loud bang, and rubble rained down!

"Mom!"

The gorilla's confidant was terrified.

What kind of divine intervention is this? Has the god of lightning truly manifested himself?

Its instinct was to worship while simultaneously declaring that it was all Gruud's doing and had nothing to do with it, and then it discovered...

Wait, where is King Gerudo?

Turning my head, I realized that King Gerudo had vanished in the blink of an eye.

Chimpanzees:"."

how to say?

The king is at least quite fast at running away.

Chapter 125 The Laws of Space and Time

The roof was blasted through, and Shen You landed lightly in the main hall amidst countless falling rocks.

The trusted gorilla, who had collapsed to the ground, rubbed his eyes, looking somewhat bewildered: "Huh? Isn't this the punishment of the God of Lightning...?"

Shen You looked around and was quickly drawn to the brightest and most dazzling pillar in the main hall.

"Speed ​​Force energy readings, wow." He checked the readings on the Chronosphere bracelets using the armor's built-in system. "Is this the source of their Speed ​​Force?"

Before they could even check, a loud voice boomed from behind the main hall.

"Intruder!"

Turning my head, I saw a group of gorillas wearing crowns, golden armor, and cloaks appear out of nowhere. Their appearance practically screamed "I am Gerudo!"

"I don't know how you broke through the defenses and entered my inner sanctum, but daring to come here is courting death!" Gerud roared. "I am Gerud, King of Gorilla City! I fear not even lightning speed, do you think I'm afraid of you!?"

The subordinate beside him swallowed hard, thinking to himself, "Your Majesty, if you weren't afraid, why did you run so fast just now?"

"Roar!"

The gorilla roared and charged towards Shen You with lightning speed.

Shen You dodged and retaliated with a backhand strike to the face. But although Gruud was large, he was quite agile. He tilted his head back and dodged the attack as well, followed by another palm strike that came like lightning.

Clearly, King Grud possessed a different kind of Speed ​​Force, making him much faster than the gorillas who had invaded the central city.

In addition, it also possesses a certain level of super strength and defense, and in the original work, it was able to withstand the Flash's supersonic punches almost unscathed thanks to its physical abilities.

Shen You thrust out his left palm, unleashing a palm cannon attack. But Gerud, trailing a bolt of lightning, dodged to the side, the energy blast shooting out and blasting a small hole through the outer wall of the hall.

Shen You followed up with kicks and jabs, unleashing a barrage of punches and kicks, but Gerud relied on its speed to dodge them repeatedly. It seemed to have realized that its opponent was not weak, and instead of confronting him with strength, it relied on its speed to avoid his attacks.

Following up with a right straight punch, this one aimed straight for his face. Gerud glided backward as if on lightning, the punch losing its momentum just millimeters from his forehead.

"Not bad speed, intruder," Grud said smugly, "but not as fast as my divine speed."

boom.

Before it could finish speaking, the fist that was fixed in front of it suddenly flicked out its middle finger.

The Finger Flicking Divine Power.

Although it was only a finger, it was quite astonishing with Shen You's power. Just a moment ago, Gerud was still wearing a smug smile. He tilted his head back, and the whole ape flew out, crashing through countless layers of walls in the fortress and flying a long way.

The other gorillas in the hall were initially too slow to intervene because the two were moving too fast, but now they were somewhat stunned.

What kind of intruders are they using, going to such lengths?

They were well aware of King Gerudo's power. His strength, speed, and spirit were unprecedented in the history of Gorilla City, making him an invincible symbol in their eyes. This was why many gorillas were willing to risk their lives for him, even at the cost of abandoning their faith in lightning.

But this Gerud was taken down in a single move?

Combined with Gerud's arrogant and defiant declaration, the lightning in the sky, and the red and silver figure's speed, which was almost on par with Gerud's,

Could this person truly be a divine punishment brought down by lightning?

Despite landing a successful blow, Shen You, inside the armor, frowned slightly.

Gruud is indeed very fast. Even after being repelled by the Speed ​​Force, it still possesses this speed.

This made Shen You even more curious about the technology it used.

He walked to the pillar known as the "lightning rod" and extended his right hand. The armored parts on his hand clicked apart, and the armor dissipated. He touched the lightning rod directly with his bare hand.

Consciousness extended along with the light, tentatively exploring the principles and operation of the pillar. The quantum brain operated at full speed, rapidly analyzing the knowledge contained within.

Sure enough, I immediately sensed the presence of the Speed ​​Force, which was rapidly flowing through the lightning rod, drawn from another dimension.

He felt greatly inspired.

This is different from the energy he had previously directly encountered in the Speed ​​Force space. What he had encountered before was wild, unused Speed ​​Force, just pure energy. It was similar to what he had observed from Barry before. Although the novice Barry was very fast, it was all about brute force. The Speed ​​Force space was almost an unlimited supply of energy for Barry; he could get as much as he wanted, and there was no skill involved.

But this lightning rod is different. It's how the apes try to steal the Speed ​​Force after being rejected by it. If Barry's Speed ​​Force is likened to a vast ocean, this amount of energy is roughly equivalent to a household water pipe.

But this small pipe contains the culmination of generations of scientific research on the Speed ​​Force since the establishment of civilization, maximizing efficiency with minimal energy. The way energy is transported, the perspective on the Speed ​​Force, and even the understanding of the spacetime rules of the entire DC universe, all broadened Shen You's horizons considerably.

As described in the original work, in the DC Universe, speed and time are, to some extent, the same thing. The Speed ​​Force contains a set of laws that encompass both speed and time.

Shen You had already figured out some tricks for using his own light to simulate the speed force's driving method. Now, with these new perspectives and viewpoints, he felt he could go even further.

Time is not such a mysterious and unattainable law for Ultraman's light.

In the series most familiar to Ultraman fans, Tiga seemingly used a time-space ability to travel from the past back to the present at the end of the "Ultraman Planet" episode. Furthermore, if this episode's actions are controversial, there's a precedent in the Showa era TV series where Ace led the entire TAC team, trapped in ancient times, back to the present.

Not to mention Zero, a representative of time-manipulation techniques. In his Shining Form, he can reverse time and space, and he even created a special time dimension for Orb to train in "Ultraman Orb Fighting." Ten years passed in Shining Zero's timeline, but only ten seconds passed in the outside world.

It does have an effect somewhat similar to the Speed ​​Force.

In the official novel, it is described that Zero traveled to the "Waterfall of Time" in space to develop the potential of his Shining Form, and only through training and learning did he discover the knack for controlling the laws of time. Even so, he has not yet fully developed the potential of this form.

Time manipulation is a high-level skill, and Shen You, as an apprentice Ultraman, had never dabbled in it before. But now, having directly come into contact with the source of the spacetime laws of the DC universe, he suddenly felt a continuous flow of inspiration.

Slowing down time and accelerating oneself does not require linking to the Speed ​​Force; one's own light is sufficient to achieve this.

All he needs is knowledge, to adapt to and become familiar with the laws governing the universe itself.

"Roar!"

With his quantum brain operating at full speed, the outside world changed in an instant. With a roar, Shen You turned around and saw the cloaked gorilla trailing lightning rushing back at full speed.

The fact that the gorilla wasn't seriously injured despite being launched so far by a single blow is partly due to Gerudo's super endurance, and the high-speed protective effect of the Speed ​​Field must have also played a significant role.

But now.
