I became light in American comics

The massive, exaggerated tree trunks, brimming with boundless green energy, burst forth from the earth's constraints. Countless high-speed vines, piercing like lightning, stretch and intertwine, resembling ferocious pythons, sealing off almost every inch of space in the forest.

Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World!

Okay, of course not, but this move just feels too familiar.

Almost any space to stand has been squeezed out.

almost.

Rays of light shot out from between the trees, their afterimages like nimble water snakes darting through the crevices and bursting out of the treetops.

A punch straight at him!

Its incredibly fast body left a winding path of light through the gaps in the treetops, like a glowing snake. A punch, almost invisible in its speed, struck, and a white ripple exploded on the swamp monster's forehead, blasting away half of its face.

The swamp monster tumbled backward, spinning and flying a long way. When it got up again, its head had already repaired itself, but it didn't angrily rush forward to attack again.

Instead, she touched his green forehead, looked up and gazed around blankly.

Then came the classic three-question set of questions.

"Who am I? Where am I? Who is hitting me?"

Shen You landed in front of him, his palm cannon still pointing at him warily, and asked, "Seems a bit more awake now?"

"Sure. Could you turn off the lights first?"

Facing the light from the palm cannon, the swamp monster raised an arm to shield itself, squinting its eyes.

"How annoying."

"Not until you answer the question," Shen You said. "The Gotham plant riots, were you behind them?"

"Plant uprising? Me? Of course not."

The swamp monster shook its head repeatedly.

"Why do you ask?"

Chapter 158 Restarting the Great Law is Good

The swamp monster insisted that none of these problems had anything to do with him. This actually aligned with Shen You's initial guess, but the current situation clearly didn't seem to confirm that.

"Uh, so if it wasn't you, then why did you attack me? And what about those hostages you kidnapped?" Shen You asked. "No offense intended, but have you noticed that you really do look like the villain here?"

There's another point. In Shen You's memory, while Poison Ivy could control plants, she was far from capable of triggering a city-wide plant rebellion under normal circumstances. But the Swamp Monster was definitely no problem.

"Uh, really?"

The swamp monster turned its head and looked around blankly, seemingly confused by the mess around it.

"I attacked you? I don't remember. Wait, what am I doing right now?"

The swamp monster looked around and began to try to remember.

"The last thing I remember. The very last thing. Some visitors came. Someone came, she came specifically to see me."

“Her?” Shen You noticed this word.

“Yes, a woman,” the swamp monster mused. “She came to me, and I revealed myself to her. I could sense something strange about her, like…like destiny, a subtle connection that bound us together.”

This statement essentially pinpoints Poison Ivy as the culprit. The strange feeling he described is likely the connection to the "Green of All Things." Swamp Thing and Poison Ivy are the most well-known Green of All Things Connectors on Earth, so it's only natural that they would feel this connection.

"Let me guess, 'she' has long, fiery red hair, and is incredibly hot with a great figure, right?"

"Yes. Because of that subtle connection, she made me feel close. I remember now, I remember everything, it's all that woman!"

The swamp monster's face darkened.

"I instinctively trusted her and was almost completely on guard. I never imagined that woman would... would do that kind of thing to me!"

"What did she do?"

Shen You asked, while his mind quickly flashed through various plausible possibilities for the current situation, such as backstabbing, stealing the power of the Green of All Things to strengthen himself.

Then the swamp monster angrily accused, "She...she actually took advantage of my momentary lapse in attention and suddenly kissed me!"

Shen You: "?"

What did she do to you?

"It was that kiss, wet and soft, fragrant, a bit like the scent of roses, that lingered and went into my mouth."

"Ahem, we can skip this part," Shen You interrupted. "What happened next?"

"Then I felt dizzy, the scenery before my eyes blurred, and then everything went black. When I woke up again, I was here, facing a human monster wearing armor."

"That's really impolite of you to say that, but I won't hold it against you," Shen You said.

Upon hearing the description of the swamp monster, Shen You recalled certain related events.

Poison Ivy's two main abilities are controlling men and controlling plants, and Swamp Thing unfortunately is half-human and half-plant. There was even an incident in the Justice League cartoon where Swamp Thing went berserk under her mind control.

The problem, as expected, still lies with the poison ivy.

“I remember now, it was all her doing.” The swamp monster’s eyes darkened, and he clenched his fists. “She has to pay for this. That despicable, filthy woman.”

Before he could finish speaking, the swamp monster suddenly froze, its eyes widening and glowing green.

And there seemed to be a heart-shaped glow in that green light?

"Beautiful, stunning, gentle, and adorable sweetheart. I'd do anything for you, starting with smashing this annoying metal shell in my way!"

As he spoke, his right fist transformed into a wooden hammer enveloped in vegetation, and with the support of the green of all things, he slammed it down on his head!

Shen You dodged to the side, and the wooden hammer shattered the enemy with a loud bang, sending up a wave of dust like a tsunami.

“It seems the Swamp Monster hasn’t completely escaped Miss Poison Ivy’s control, sir,” Pal said.

"Yes, I noticed that too."

The ground beneath their feet suddenly cracked open, revealing countless fissures that stretched out like giant dragons. The sudden rupture was accompanied by the earth's groans, and dangerous plants burst forth from the ground like madmen, their twisted branches resembling serpentine tendrils, covered with vicious barbs and sharp thorns.

Like thousands of black whips dancing wildly, demonic tentacles surrounded Shen You, covering everything at an extremely high speed.

Shen You darted out like lightning, instantly appearing before the swamp monster. The monster roared furiously, its left arm suddenly extending, its hand transforming into a sharp spike that shot out. Shen You sidestepped the attack, seizing the outstretched arm and pulling hard!

Shen You's figure rose into the air on lightning, his body spinning rapidly in mid-air, causing the swamp monster he was holding to spin like a green windmill.

After spinning countless times, it suddenly slipped from my grasp, and the swamp monster was instantly propelled at supersonic speed by centrifugal force. The impact was immense, causing a tremendous tremor that shook the heavens and earth. Towering dust and rubble spread outwards from the point of impact, sweeping away trees and bushes in its path.

Ultra Spin. One of the most favored techniques of the first generation of Ultraman, the most proficient wrestlers in the Land of Light. However, it's usually a throwing technique where you grab a monster's tail and spin around before throwing it. Shen You used the swamp monster's extended arm as a substitute, and the effect was almost the same.

But the next moment, the green afterimage pierced through the smoke screen and rushed up again.

As he burst forth, the swamp monster's wounds were still repairing themselves. In his left hand he held a shield wrapped in vines, and in his right hand he brandished a plant longsword, shouting as he went.

"For my beloved!"

His eyes seemed to be burning with green flames.

He arrived with great speed, though in Shen You's eyes it was as clear as a slow-motion scene.

Shen You deftly leaned back to dodge the blade's edge, then grabbed the hands wielding the sword and shield. He pulled the opponent's body backward, bracing his right foot against the opponent's chest and abdomen, using the opponent's super-fast sprinting power and speed to forcefully kick backward.

Ultraman's "Ultraman Throw" is a fighting technique that many Ultramen, including the original Ultraman, love to use. Shen You doesn't know why, but everyone in the Land of Light has a habit of adding the prefix "Ultraman" to any technique to make it seem more awesome.

Just like there's also the Ultraman head, Ultraman thumbs up.

In this respect, their habits are somewhat similar to Batman's. Batman likes to add "Bat" before all his equipment, and even has an obsessive-compulsive disorder about painting bat shapes on walls with gel.

This time, the ground shook violently as he fell, and this time he was certain the swamp monster landed face-first, its entire plant head nearly exploding into countless broken branches.

Shen You immediately spun around and locked onto the direction in which it was thrown, and the magazine on the shoulder of the armored vehicle popped open.

"Par, do you know what we usually do if the computers in the place I come from get infected with a virus and crash?"

"Try running an antivirus scan, sir?"

"No, let's bang on the computer case and then restart it."

As he spoke, a Specium bullet whistled out and struck the swamp monster that had just gotten up.

The next moment, the firelight illuminated the entire woodland.

Chapter 159 Light Saw Man

Swamp monsters are immortal.

As long as the Green of All Things remains, it can regenerate no matter how many times it is destroyed. Even after the Anti-Monitor annihilated the entire multiverse with a single shot, it was still able to regenerate from destruction.

Shen You understood this perfectly. Completely eliminating it was nearly impossible, but that didn't mean the attack was entirely meaningless. The Specium warhead was enough to destroy the swamp monster's current entire body. Although it would regenerate in a moment, the process was similar to a shutdown and restart, which might eliminate the mind control effect.

It's like what happens when you call the administrator at an internet cafe because your computer broke down.

However, this method doesn't seem to be very effective.

Countless roots coalesced amidst the destruction, and shattered limbs rapidly regenerated. Strands of green branches burrowed into the core of the regenerating body, and leaves formed dense layers upon its surface, entwining its deep green skin. Tree trunks seemed to form its skeleton, and roots continued to climb through its body.

His body grew larger and larger, his trunk grew rapidly, green leaves spread over his head, and dark green flames burned in his deep eyes.

A primal and powerful energy erupted from that body, and in an instant, the swamp monster had reformed into a body over twenty meters tall.

"The only thing that can stand in the way of my beloved is death!"

Shen You dodged the giant arm's swing again in mid-air: "Very good, it seems the Restart Technique won't work. Next, prepare psychological therapy."

This move is a bit more complicated. It involves using the Ultra race's telepathic talent to directly enter the mental world and fight Poison Ivy. This is also the most common method used in the Ultra series against mental opponents.

“In fact, judging from the scan results of the other party’s recent regeneration process, perhaps your ‘rebooting technique’ wasn’t entirely ineffective,” Pal said.

"Oh? What do you say?"

As Shen You spoke, he continued to maintain high speed, dodging left and right amidst the intertwined attacks.

"Deep scans revealed what appeared to be abnormal mental control fluctuations in the Swamp Monster, but these fluctuations decreased significantly during his body regeneration. The Swamp Monster's own mental activity waves, however, increased significantly during the regeneration process."

"Understood. The harder we fight, the greater our chances." Shen You understood.

It would be much easier to deal with him on a spiritual level after he is shattered to pieces.

"Take over the armor, and I'll reboot his brain. The physical kind."

"Okay, sir."
