American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 67: Starlight vs. Electric Man

In the city streets, Starlight and Electric fought a thrilling battle.

Electro, an extremely dangerous super villain, has the ability to control and absorb electricity, threatening the safety of the entire city. Starlight, a newly-minted superhero, blocks Electro's way to the power station despite his injuries, and is determined not to let him take another step forward!
On the streets of the city, the duel between Starlight and Electric Man became more and more intense. Electric Man's power was extremely strong, and he exuded terrifying electrical energy. Every time he released it, it was like thunder, making the whole street tremble. The lightning was clearly visible even from a great distance.

Electro knocked down Starlight again, with a hint of indifference and contempt in his eyes.

"Little kid, do you think you can stop me? You are too naive! Your obstruction is useless. Once I absorb all the electricity from the power station, I will gain enough power to rule the entire New York!!! Hahahaha~~hahaha~"

Starlight faced Electro with a firm look in her eyes and said fearlessly: "Electro! Even if it costs my life, I will never let your conspiracy succeed. I will not allow you to harm the people of this city!"

"Who wrote this line? It's a bit awkward, isn't it?" In a room not far away, next to the photographer, Xiao Xian complained as he looked at the two people below.

Although Xiao Xian and Xingguang joined the company together, Xiao Xian's contract was revised again and again, and his status kept rising. The debut resources originally prepared were no longer in line with Xiao Xian's status, and had to be rearranged.

Xing Guang has been in training all the time, and with his experience and popularity as a child star, he could have made his debut a long time ago. It's just that the company has been busy planning Xiao Xian's debut, so it has been delayed again and again.

Now since Xiao Xian's debut resources and status do not match, he simply gave them to Xingguang, allowing Xingguang to debut earlier, and Xiao Xian's debut plan was rearranged. The current tentative debut boss is the popular villain, Professor Lizard of the Beast Style. The screenwriter is currently working on writing the script.

"The audience loves to watch this. The more earthy and awkward it is, the easier it is to become popular," Ike explained.

"Okay, you are professionals, so how long will it take for me to appear on stage?" Xiao Xian asked, holding the script in his hand. He was here to guest star today, and his purpose was to warm up for his debut and also to create some topics for Starlight.

"It's almost time. Wait until Starlight's clothes get torn a little more during the fight, and give the audience some fatal blows. Then when Electro is about to kill Starlight, you go on stage and block Electro's fatal blow for Starlight."

Ike looked at the watch and said, the uniform that Starlight wore today was relatively conservative and thick, with the intention of it being gradually damaged during the battle. Of course, even in its final state, it would not be too revealing, so as to meet the requirements of all ages.

"Then I'll take some painkillers first." Xiao Xian took out the medicine bottle and gave himself a few pills. According to the script, he would be struck by lightning later. Although he would not die with his regenerative ability, it would be very painful.

On the other side, Starlight stood in front of Electric Man with difficulty. Her injuries were very serious, her clothes were tattered, and of course all her key parts were blocked.

However, this kind of clothes is in a tattered state, and even though it actually exposes far less than a bikini and other clothing, it still looks a lot more reserved.

Knocking Starlight down again, Electro sneered as he prepared for a fatal blow.

"It seems that you have reached your limit, little kid." Electro taunted, "No one can stop me. I am Electro~~!!!"

Starlight struggled hard to stand up, but her strength was gone and she lay on the ground, unable to move.

At this moment, a figure suddenly broke into the battlefield. It was Xiao Xian, who rushed between Xingguang and the Electric Man without hesitation. Seeing Xiao Xian appear from the corner of his eye, the Electric Man stopped storing energy and timed it well, releasing a powerful electric energy that struck Xiao Xian like a bolt of lightning. The powerful electric current carried a destructive force, instantly tearing the air apart, and the dazzling light stung people's eyes.

Using his body to block the lightning, Xiao Xian felt the power of the electricity. His whole body seemed to be struck by lightning, and severe pain spread from his body. His body trembled involuntarily, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes went dark again when he returned to the body selection interface.

Xiao Xian chose the body that had just been electrocuted, and fell down. Xingguang caught Xiao Xian, looked at the blood on the corner of Xiao Xian's mouth and shouted:
"Why are you doing this!!!"

"I believe you can stop him!! Save New York. I still remember us running in the sunset. That was my lost youth." Holding Xingguang's hand, Xiao Xian finished his lines, then kicked his legs cleanly and pretended to be temporarily dead.

"No!!!!!"

Holding Xiao Xian and bursting into tears, Xingguang shouted with bright light in his eyes. The electric energy of the surrounding cars, houses, and electric people all rushed towards Xingguang frantically.

Starlight began to absorb the surrounding electrical energy, her body was surrounded by a layer of bright light, and her whole body slowly floated in the air.

Electric Man showed a look of horror. He tried to release more powerful electrical energy, but it was too late. The electrical energy he released was also absorbed by the starlight.

"impossible!!!"

Electric Man shouted in horror, his expression was so genuine, worthy of being a veteran actor.

"Nothing is impossible~ From the moment you decided to do evil, today's ending was doomed!"

Xingguang floated in the air and said calmly that her acting skills were much worse than Electric Man's, but it was not a big problem because she was beautiful and her acting was not a talent.

He pushed forward with both hands, and powerful light energy was released, knocking the Electric Man away. He fell to the ground and wanted to get up, but was unable to do so.

"You won, kill me now~" The electric man covered his wound (actually he broke the blood bag hidden in the corresponding position) and said very toughly while looking at the starlight walking towards him.
"No, I won't kill you. That would make me no different from you. I will send you to prison and let you face the punishment of the law!"

Starlight shook her head and rejected Electro. Ever since Batman from Wayne Superhero Agency creatively established the heroic principle of not killing villains and started the history of reusing super villains, many agencies would add a character setting for their superheroes that tries not to kill people.

This not only pleases the saints, but also allows the super villains to be used repeatedly, which has almost become the norm in the industry today. However, this has also led to the situation where old super villains have long occupied the ecological niche, making it difficult for newcomers to stand out.

Of course, when a super villain is ready to retire, he will still be killed. The pay for shooting such a plot is usually very high, and among super villain actors, it is called a retirement pension.
