I became light in American comics

Upon returning, Shen You's first task was to thoroughly study the Eye of Argonauts. However, just as he finished setting up the experimental platform and starting the new project, the shop received a customer.

Shen You slid open the security camera at the entrance from the basement and took a look.

Good guy.

A clumsy reporter in a suit and square-framed glasses, and a goddess who, despite wearing a scarf and glasses, still attracts a lot of attention.

Clark Kent and Diana Prince.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Shen home?"

Chapter 177 Her death is near

A few minutes later, in the basement of the coffee shop, Diana Prince, now dressed in a casual top and wearing boxing gloves, stood in front of Shen You.

He delivered a powerful side kick directly to Shen You's face.

Shen You lowered his center of gravity and used his arm to block WW's powerful kick.

"Good legwork." Shen You parried her long, shapely legs and took a step back.

“Thank you, but you’d better be careful,” Diana snapped, stepping forward to follow. “Because I promise I’m absolutely serious!”

The two exchanged blows in the cleared space in the subspace.

Shen You was somewhat surprised when the female warrior came to make this request, but upon reflection, he could understand. WW was the purest warrior in the Justice League, and like Batman, she was proficient in almost all known fighting techniques on Earth, but many of the combat skills Shen You displayed were beyond her comprehension, even by her standards.

Therefore, Diana naturally had the idea of ​​asking him for advice, and was eager to try out the combat system that even she had never seen before. Shen You thought about it and realized that since coming to DC, he had been so engrossed in scientific research that he had neglected his daily training—mainly because there were really no sparring partners here. Now that he had this opportunity to practice, it wouldn't be bad.

And coincidentally, WW is already considered a grandmaster among heavyweight fighters. Ninety-nine percent of the other fighting fighters in DC are ordinary people, and most of the fighters in the same weight class as Wonder Woman are like Superman, who seem to have trained in the story but are terrible in actual combat.

It wouldn't be bad to take this opportunity to test the heroine's abilities.

And so it turned out like this. Shen You and Diana exchanged blows, their punches and kicks creating a whistling sound in the subspace.

Meanwhile, the Kryptonian siblings Clark and Kara stood side by side, one drinking coffee and the other eating potato chips, watching from the front row.

Diana threw a punch with a whoosh, which Shen You deftly deflected with a palm strike. The force of the punch sent shockwaves through Kara's golden hair and the signature curl on Da Chao's forehead.

"That was a really powerful move," Clark nodded in admiration.

Kara pulled out a potato chip and handed it to him: "Want one?"

"No, thank you." Clark said, taking another sip of coffee, a satisfied expression appearing behind his glasses. "Wow, your coffee is really good. I'll definitely come here often."

“I told you so,” Kara said proudly, puffing out her chest.

In the blink of an eye, the two non-human beings had already gone supersonic and exchanged countless moves.

Diana threw a flurry of punches, but Shen You deflected most of them with a palm strike. He retreated two steps, and Diana followed up with a swift, hooking punch, but Shen You deftly changed direction, dodging along the outside. Diana turned and threw a whip punch, but again missed.

"Three consecutive moves, so smooth!" Shen You praised.

Diana did not pursue the matter further, but her brows were furrowed and her face clearly showed displeasure.

Shen You asked, "What?"

“Do you remember what we agreed on before we started?” Diana said. “No holding back, no mercy. But do you think I wouldn’t be able to tell you were going easy on me?”

Shen You raised his eyebrows.

“Don’t worry, I’ve seen you in action, and I know I’m no match for you right now,” Diana smiled. “But that’s precisely why I’m even more eager to know where the gap lies and what my own limits are.”

So please attack with all your might, don't hold back. I know what I'm doing.

"Well, okay. If you insist."

A flash of light appeared in Shen You's bracelet, and the red and silver armor suddenly materialized around him, quickly enveloping him completely.

The azure crystal on his chest lit up, and the eyes of his armor flashed with golden light. Electricity radiated outwards, and transparent waves erupted. Shen You instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning that pierced through the clouds and charged straight ahead.

coming!

Diana was already on high alert, her nerves were on edge like never before.

She knew she couldn't keep up with that speed, so she needed not only her reflexes but also her fighting instincts.

It had nothing to do with sight, hearing, or any other senses. Relying entirely on her instincts as a warrior and a demigod, she suddenly threw a punch at the empty space beside her.

A perfect anticipation; the red and silver afterimage rushed towards him precisely at that moment, delivering a punch straight to his face—the steel face.

Then it went straight through!

Diana's pupils contracted.

What she shattered was the afterimage left by high speed.

Almost simultaneously, a powerful shockwave approached from behind. She instinctively turned around, only to see a fist whistling through her face, like a silver meteor streaked with leaping lightning.

No, that was even just her imagination.

It was so fast that she didn't even have time to see it clearly, but the oppressive power contained within it made such an image appear in her mind.

The fist stopped.

Like a burst of lightning exploding outwards, the silver iron fist defied physics, abruptly slowing down and stopping less than a millimeter from her nose. A gust of wind from the punch swept out, whipping her jet-black hair wildly and causing the blonde and curly hair of the two spectators behind her to sway incessantly.

The next moment, a flash of light appeared on Shen You's body, his armor disintegrated, and he automatically flew back into his bracelet.

He withdrew his fist and smiled. "Tired of fighting? How about a drink of Ice and Fire? It's on me."

Diana remained silent.

She knew that the other party was still not giving it their all.

But they didn't bring it up again.

Because she had already realized that it really didn't make any sense.

The gap is too big.

This is no longer a matter of testing the waters. It's a matter of never being able to find the bottom, and the person might be killed.

After a moment's hesitation, she couldn't help but ask, "Is it just my imagination, or have you become stronger since the last time we met?"

"Maybe." Shen You shrugged.

"But... how did you do that?" Diana frowned.

She thought to herself that it hadn't been that long. Although she had sensed his strength before, it was completely different from the feeling she had in the past two days.

Shen You smiled and said, "Just like I said, it's scientific."

Diana: "."

This isn't just empty talk. Besides the chain reaction caused by his own activities and Superman's activities in various places, which led to his increased energy, his recent major research breakthroughs have all been in the Speed ​​Force.

The Speed ​​Force can do much more than just speed; its basic uses include the power amplification that comes with speed.

Or rather, it's not accurate to say it's about force; it should be said that it's about kinetic energy.

In the original comics, the Flash, even in his rookie stage, had already mastered the supersonic punch—achieving speeds of several Mach with a running start, allowing him to deliver superhuman-level damage with a single punch.

If you asked Mr. Bull to evaluate him, he'd probably be furious, because the mortal Flash could send someone flying across the street with a supersonic punch and be completely unharmed—clearly defiling on Mr. Bull's Third Law. But the Speed ​​Force solves all inconsistencies; when needed, it can offset all the side effects of extreme speed activities for the fastest person.

This is still in the early stages of application. In the lore, a fully powered Flash can deliver a punch that deals damage equivalent to the impact of a white dwarf. Even disregarding the lore and considering actual combat performance, the Flash once effortlessly defeated Wonder Woman in the Flashpoint world with a half-light speed spinning kick.

Shen You admitted that his understanding of the Speed ​​Force was still very basic, far from being as fast or as overpowered as the Flash. However, he could still manage to use the Speed ​​Force for explosive bursts of power, a basic technique. With his existing arm strength combined with the Speed ​​Force's enhancement, it was only natural that his punch would have this effect.

No wonder WW was a bit confused.

Is science really that incredible?

Diana stared at his retreating figure, momentarily lost in thought.

"Want it?"

Shen You pulled the dazed female warrior back to reality, holding a fresh cup of Ice and Fire Song in his hand.

".want."

Diana smiled and accepted the ice cream coffee.

The goddess licked the cream, feeling the cool sweetness spreading on her tongue.

Then he revealed a satisfied smile.

She instantly felt that it was perhaps a blessing for the world that such powerful beings, rather than the abstract gods of Olympus, possessed such immense strength.

“We can’t go on like this.”

Queen Hera stared coldly at Apollo with a somber expression.

The latter is in much better condition than when he first returned from the Fallen Realm. A few days ago, Apollo looked like a shriveled raisin, and although he still looks weak, he at least shows signs of recovery.

"I gave you a chance, I gave you resources. You also promised me you would complete the task. And this is the result!?"

Apollo's purplish-black face seemed to flush red.

"I was being targeted!" he said angrily. "That Amazonian, she was surrounded by things that could drain my magic, what could I do? I was desperate!"

“That’s exactly the problem,” Hera said in a deep voice. “She calls herself ‘Wonder Woman’ and has been active in the human world for so many years, always working alone.”

And now, she's suddenly starting to seek allies. And if what you say is true, they are all among the best in the mortal world capable of rivaling the Olympian gods.

Why now? Why precisely at this time, right after Zeus's disappearance?

Apollo was taken aback.

"Don't forget, every descendant who has Zeus's blood flowing through their veins has a chance to take that vacant position," Hera said coldly.

“You mean, Wonder Woman wants…” Apollo paused, then frowned, “But she doesn’t seem interested.”

Hera sneered.

"On this entire Mount Olympus, is there anyone you can understand just by looking at them?"

Apollo fell silent.

"Makes sense."

“No matter what, I absolutely cannot accept that lowly Amazon sitting on the throne and ruling Olympus,” Hera said through gritted teeth, “even at all costs.”

"don’t worry."

Apollo chuckled.
