I became light in American comics

Nello: "?"

The bewildered homeowner had no idea what was going on and instinctively looked toward the dark figure beside him.

Huh? Where's the shadow man?

The moment the light pierced through, the shadow transformed into a straight line of black mist, fleeing into the distance like an arrow.

While fleeing, it screamed in a voice only demons could hear.

"Help! Help! I've been attacked by Ultraman—"

Chapter 22 Ultraman Must Die

Gotham, downtown.

"Look, a shooting star!"

A girl in a backless halter top, holding a cup of milk tea, nestled in a boy's arms, pointing to a shooting star streaking across the night.

"Really? Make a wish now!"

The two closed their eyes and made a silent wish.

Boy: God bless me, I hope I get a young, beautiful, and rich woman this year.

Girl: I'm looking for a handsome, rich, and kind guy who treats me well, preferably someone like Bruce Wayne. Please!

The couple opened their eyes to each other and smiled.

"What did you wish for?" the girl asked.

"Of course!" The boy kissed her tenderly. "Back then, I hoped we could grow old together and never be apart."

The girl giggled sweetly: "Really? You don't want a rich woman or anything like that?"

The boy's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly swore, "I swear to God, if even half a word of my oath is false, may I be struck by a meteor!"

The girl blushed and lowered her head: "Then my wish will be the same."

"baby."

鈥滀汉鐖鐖搖殑鈥

As the two heads slowly moved closer as if they were magnetized, a whooshing sound suddenly approached—a burning meteor.

It came straight towards where the two of them were.

boom!

The massive crash created a huge crater in the ground, sending mud and debris flying everywhere.

The two of them collapsed to the ground, their faces ashen, staring blankly at the huge crater in front of them, too afraid to move, their minds filled with the same thought.

Good heavens, is making a stupid oath really that effective?!

Then a charred claw emerged from the giant pit.

The demon, covered in soot and charred like a burnt roast chicken, struggled to crawl out of the pit, its body billowing black smoke.

We must escape, escape immediately!

No doubt about it, it's Ultraman. Although he wasn't as big as before, he was wearing some kind of artificial armor.

But it could never mistake that light!

That extremely strange energy, like some kind of world-destroying light magic, has left an indelible mark on the minds of the demons, like a business card with Ultraman's signature, which is absolutely impossible to mistake.

The demons that stormed into the temple had all been annihilated, and even a high-ranking demon like Pittus was crushed like a mosquito.

The despairing images were transmitted back to the remaining demons through monitoring magic. Upon seeing the suffocating scene, all the demons fell silent.

It was as if you could feel the deep despair of the teammates in the temple even through the magical visuals.

Therefore, when the demon sensed the fluctuation of that light, it turned and ran away without even looking back.

Because it has absolute confidence.

He couldn't possibly beat this opponent.

As long as we can escape to that place

Unfortunately, it seems that running away is also difficult.

The mobile suit's aerial combat capabilities far surpassed his flying ability. After a fierce aerial battle that lasted for about ten seconds, the demon was directly blasted by a palm-sized cannon shot and crashed headfirst into the ground.

The boy was now ashen-faced with fear at the sight of the grotesque monster. He hurriedly said, "I was wrong! I confess, I was lying just now, but it's not my fault! The doctor said I have a weak stomach and can only eat soft food."

Before he could finish speaking, a whooshing sound of energy rang out in mid-air. A beam of blue light shot down from the night sky, like a sharp spear, piercing through the demon's chest and exploding into a cloud of dust.

The demon let out a miserable howl and collapsed to the ground. Its corpse quickly turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated in the wind.

Shen You, clad in an Ultraman mecha, hovered in mid-air, propelled by flames, the blue light from the energy cannon in his outstretched right palm just fading.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you. Please continue."

After saying that, it accelerated and shot into the night sky, creating a sonic boom before disappearing without a trace.

The young couple sat on the ground, staring blankly at the huge crater in front of them. They looked at each other and remained silent for a moment.

In the pitch-black space, an undercurrent surged in from the outside. It surged and gradually transformed into a bizarre shape, resembling a standing venomous scorpion with eerie green eyes.

It stood atop a stone pillar. Around this dark space stood several other similar pillars, each topped with a strangely shaped figure.

After the scorpions appeared, one of the humanoid figures with an owl's head spoke.

"Is everyone here?"

They are demons.

These are some of the leaders among the currently awakened demonic forces. This is a space they use for their gatherings, located in Gotham's underground facility, and it has been specially protected by a barrier.

It was a barrier created by several leaders working together. Each demon spirit within it had its own area of ​​expertise; some were skilled in illusions that eliminated traces, some in concealing their aura, and others in spatial shielding.

Furthermore, they discovered that Gotham was a natural magical treasure trove, with its sewers harboring a dense concentration of magic of unknown origin even to them. They specifically located such a magical node and enhanced the barrier's effect. This made it extremely difficult for both humans and weakened wizards to discover their hiding place.

“Another comrade has been wiped out,” the owl demon said gravely. “It’s that same guy again.”

All the demons fell silent.

Of course they knew who "that guy" was. The strange creature that suddenly appeared, called "Ultraman." His power was ridiculously strong; their carefully planned attack on the Rock of Eternity had also been foiled by him.

All the demons involved in the operation were wiped out, even their strongest member, Pittus, was instantly killed.

The Poisonous Scorpion Demon gritted its teeth: "After all these years, we've finally waited for this wizard's weakest moment, and here comes this monster from who-knows-where?"

"Too arrogant!" one of the demons cursed. "Does he really think we can't do anything about him?"

The demon next door glanced at him sideways: "Do we have any?"

The demon spirit immediately fell silent.

"This can't go on," a demon spirit said in a deep voice. "If we wait until that lord arrives and finds out we've failed in our duties and lost so many subordinates..."

All the demons nodded in agreement.

"Makes sense."

"What I said is true."

"Give him some color!"

"Let him experience what despair is!"

"Let him fall into the abyss!"

The demons quickly reached a consensus, all sharing a common hatred for the enemy, and seemed eager to immediately rush up and rub that hateful foe into the ground.

The owl demon nodded slightly: "Very good. The main reason I gathered everyone here this time is to organize an operation to wipe out that enemy, codenamed 'Ultraman Must Die' Plan."

So, which cadre is willing to take the lead and be the executor of this plan?

The demons all shut up and fell silent.

A moment later, a demon said, "I think Yusak is the strongest among us and the most skilled at this task."

The demon named Yusak immediately bristled: "You want to kill me?"

But immediately realizing his lapse in composure, he coughed and changed the subject, saying, "This opponent is extraordinary; their strength is evident to all. I think we need to outsmart them rather than confront them head-on, and I believe Yurik is very quick-witted; he's the strategist among us. I think Yurik is stronger than me."

"Nonsense! My skills are just cleverness, how could I possibly shoulder such a heavy responsibility? I think Pissas is better."

After a noisy argument, the demons looked at each other and fell into a stalemate once again.

The owl spirit pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "I sense that Amenhote seems to be here. Yusak, go open the door."

Amenhot is another high-ranking member of the demons, and he appears and disappears relatively rarely.

Their magical barrier, when activated, is like a locked door; it can only be opened from the inside, not the outside. Even if their own people come, someone has to temporarily unlock the entrance.

Yusak immediately objected: "Why should I go?"

The owl demon stared at him expressionlessly.

"Fine, I'll go."

Yusak gave a mumbled reply, his figure transforming into a cloud of black mist that surged into the darkness below, quickly disappearing from the stone pillar.

After only about a minute, the black mist quickly returned, and Yusak's figure re-formed on the stone pillar.

"I just went to check, there's no one outside."

"Hmm, maybe I made a mistake."

The owl spirit nodded slightly, then turned and said.

"However, the organization has just discussed and decided that you will lead the execution of the 'Ultraman Must Die' plan. It has been approved by a vote of all members."

Yusak: "I f***ing @#%&"

Hmm, it seems some readers feel that the protagonist, Oo, hasn't appeared in his new form as much. Actually, it's been about ten chapters since the last appearance... so it's not too bad, right? (Not sure)

I was thinking that if I had to transform to deal with every enemy I encountered, it would feel too frequent and make me look pathetic.

Of course, this is just my personal opinion; the book is still written for everyone to read. And I've definitely planned for the Ultra Form to appear quite a few times; I just want to make each transformation as logical as possible.

If readers disagree with my thinking, I can make adjustments within the scope allowed by the subsequent outline.
