Just as it took to the air, dragging its weak body churning with mist, preparing to run away, it suddenly turned around. As soon as its head turned, a blinding light dazzled its 24K titanium alloy eyes.

What followed was a fist trailing lightning, delivered from the bright light.

A heavy blast, a massive punch crackling with lightning, exploded in its face. The Parallax monster let out a miserable groan, its colossal body, hundreds of meters long, swerved and flew backward, rumbling and rolling across the desolate planet's surface. Bare rocks shattered beneath it.

The punch blasted off half of Parallax's face, and the yellow-black mist and yellow light energy spontaneously repaired the damage. It looked up in horror and was shocked to see the nightmare it had been haunting these past few days: the giant of light who had somehow mastered the power of the blue light suddenly appeared before it, slowly lowering his fist.

Oh my god, it's really here!

Just as I feared, this is exactly what happened. Parallax felt as if a thousand phoenixes were galloping through his heart.

Even when it was in better shape last time, it couldn't beat it, but now Parallax Monster's strength is only a fraction of what it used to be. What's worse, the opponent seems even more overpowered than last time.

Fighting is out of the question. As for escaping, we tried last time, but it seems hopeless.

After much deliberation, it seems there's only one way forward.

"Alright, alright, you've caught me." Parallax closed his eyes and squatted down on the ground. "If you're going to do it, then do it, hurry up."

He acted as if he were "just pretending to have been bitten by a dog."

It only hurts for a moment, and at worst, I can just go back to the spectrum and start reading again from the beginning.

Of course, the feeling of "death" at that moment was real for the Lantern Beast. So, to outsiders, the Lantern Beast seemed immortal, but it still felt fear.

This time, Shen You didn't make a move. Instead, he communicated telepathically, saying, "Not this time. It's not appropriate to use knives and guns. I'm here to talk."

Parallax Monster: "?"

It opened its eyes, as if wondering if it had misheard.

Defeating Parallax is pointless; it only delays its next attack. Moreover, fear is an important part of the overall balance of the universe and should not be easily erased.

However, it simply means that it cannot be killed.

Rather than killing the Parallax monster and letting it resurrect in some unknown corner, only to have it jump out again at some unknown time to stab you in the back, it's better to find a cage that you can see and lock it up, and you can even do some research on it.

The Lantern Beasts are creations of the emotional spectrum energy, somewhat similar in nature to Ultraman. The emotional spectrum is one of the fundamental elements of the DC universe, making it a valuable subject of study.

“You have to come with me,” Shen You said.

Parallax's eyes widened even more.

"You want me, the ultimate nightmare of all intelligent beings, the embodiment of fear, to obediently become your prisoner?" it sounded furious.

"Uh, yes, that's right." Shen You nodded generously. "Do you have any objections?"

He figured this wasn't the first time this had happened. Practice makes perfect, after all; wasn't it a Green Lantern Corps prisoner before?

Parallax snorted, straightened up from its prone position, and said heavily.

"Lead the way, I can walk by myself."

Chapter 303 The Young Master is Strange

"Initiating identity verification."

"Identification successful. Identity: Kara-Zo-El, codename: Supergirl. Welcome to Lab B-01."

The automatic doors of the second warship from Brainiac slid open, and Kara floated in lightly, her red cloak billowing behind her. She looked around curiously, her eyes constantly shifting between the layers of thick walls that blocked her X-ray vision.

After passing through another scan, Kara nimbly flew into the deepest part, exclaiming, "Another huge warship! What does Shen You need so many warships for? Is he planning some kind of space arms wholesaler?!"

Just then, Kara involuntarily swallowed the rest of her sentence, her entire body stiffening, and the last part of her words involuntarily turned into—

"I go!"

Her pupils contracted, and her beautiful eyes clearly reflected the scene in the room that was enough to drive anyone crazy with sanity.

A super prison that seems to exist in some kind of folded space, with a distorted visual appearance, and that seems to involve some kind of spatial dimension technology.

The prisoners held in that bizarre prison, who appeared to have been reduced to some kind of flat structure, were none other than that enormous, distorted entity of terror. However, the terrifying body, which once billowed with smoke like burning golden flames, now looked elongated and deformed, with one eye larger than the other, giving it a somewhat comical appearance.

Parallax monster.

Kara stared at the enormous creature for a few seconds, then looked at Shen You with some confusion.

"His pets are getting weirder and weirder," she muttered to herself.

Upon hearing this, Parallax immediately bristled, its image in the flat prison began to distort again, and it mumbled, "You brat, who are you calling weird!?"

Oh wait, who did you call a pet before this? I am the embodiment of fear. Once I regain my strength and break free of this cage, you will all see it, you will all see it.”

Parallax suddenly paused, his face, which resembled an abstract painting, instantly lengthening.

Then, his tone suddenly changed: "I see. I can better dedicate myself to my mission and become part of a greater puzzle!"

Kara: "?"

Just a second ago, she thought the other person was about to make some classic villainous arrogant declaration, but she never expected that the tone would change halfway through a sentence, and suddenly it turned into a declaration of loyalty.

Then, when she looked up and caught sight of Shen You floating down from mid-air, she immediately understood.

Oh, Mr. Shen has arrived.

"Is there something you need?" Shen You asked as he flew down.

"No, not really. I just happened to be having a meeting on the watchtower next door. I heard you got a new spaceship, so I came to take a look. By the way, this thing is so ugly. Where did you get such a thing?" She looked at the Parallax Monster curiously.

When Parallax mumbled something indistinctly, almost like a curse, upon hearing her say "ugly." But when their eyes met, Parallax snapped back to reality and immediately changed her tune: "You're right, she is a bit ugly. I've been thinking about getting a makeover for a while now."

Shen You chuckled to himself.

What, you want to get plastic surgery? Why does a One-Lantern Beast need to look so good?

To save the parallax monster of the yellow light spectrum, he wants to debut as an idol?

Shen You casually pressed a switch, and the prison was immediately sealed off, the image of the Parallax Monster disappearing behind a black barrier.

"Is this some kind of dimensional technology? A low-dimensional prison?"

Kara, who had long been influenced by his research atmosphere, began to feel a sense of novelty towards technology.

Shen You was pleased with her curiosity: "What do you think it looks like?"

"I can't quite put my finger on it. It reminds me a bit of the Phantom Zone?"

The Phantom Zone, discovered by Superman's father, is the technological foundation of Krypton's most advanced prison in history. Kara's ship ran aground there before arriving on Earth.

She had seen a Phantom Zone projector before. People directly hit by that thing did indeed appear to be reduced to two dimensions, trapped in a plane.

“Clever. We’re close, but it’s not the answer yet.” Shen You smiled. “I’m drawing inspiration from the principles of the Phantom Zone projector to develop a technology similar to dimensional reduction, suitable for sealing away some dangerous creatures. The Parallax Monster is just assisting me with initial testing.”

“Assistance,” Kara said with a half-smile. “I bet it wasn’t voluntary, was it?”

Shen You thought for a moment: "It's hard to say whether it's very cooperative."

Parallax Monster: Have you thought this through? Do you think I'm going to refuse to cooperate?

"But you made the meeting quite fast today," Shen You said. "Was there no 'Bat Time' today?"

“Ah, that’s what I was just about to tell you. It’s strange, all three of them are absent,” Kara said.

"Who?"

“Karl, Diana, and Batman. All three of them stood us up.” Kara thought for a moment. “Actually, the Flash also didn’t come today, but he asked for leave in advance, saying he was busy fighting a bad guy called Captain Cold.”

Green Lantern isn't there either. But he said yesterday he went to O'Ah and wouldn't be back for two days. It's strange, all three of them are absent, but none of them asked for leave in advance or gave a reason."

Shen You frowned slightly.

This isn't a big deal. The nature of the Justice League's work means that unexpected things can happen, and it wouldn't be surprising if any member went missing at any time. Usually, they'd be back online in three to five days, perhaps having already resolved some potential crisis somewhere unknown to anyone.

But all three giants have gone missing.

There's an inexplicable sense of impending doom.

"Shen You? What's wrong?" Kara asked cautiously.

She felt that Shen You's expression seemed a little off.

"No, it's nothing. Wait a moment, I need to take this call."

Just then, a phone call came in. Surprisingly, it was Alfred.

"What's wrong? Has the bat run away from home again?"

Shen You answered the phone.

Previously, when Batman was in Deherrean, he played around with role-playing for a while, leaving a little Bat-like shock on Gotham's criminals, and incidentally adding a touch of magic to Batman's urban legend.

Then, he also changed Alfred's contact information. He can even see the daily updates from Butler now.

"No, this time there isn't. The young master is still here."

Alfred's face appeared on the projection in front of him, but the old man looked tired and seemed a little hesitant.

"Perhaps I'm overthinking it, but as you know, anyone who works with the young master for a long time would easily become suspicious."

"What do you find abnormal?" Shen You asked.

“No, quite the opposite, my young master has become too normal,” Alfred said seriously. “He’s almost like a normal person.”

Shen You: "?"

Is this how you talk about your own young master?

But what he said isn't wrong, after all, everyone knows that bats are mentally unstable.

"It's strange, but he actually went to work yesterday!" Alfred said with a strange look on his face.

Shen You pondered for a moment.

Is it possible that normal people should go to work every day?

"Okay, I understand what you mean." Shen You nodded. "But even for him, it's not strange that he goes to work occasionally, is it?"

“Perhaps. But there’s something even stranger. Bruce Wayne was invited to a party last night, and he usually doesn’t attend, but he actually went this time.” Alfred’s expression was odd. “And he even brought a beautiful lady back to spend the night with him.”

"What's so strange about that?" Kara poked her little head out from behind. "Don't I spend the night at Mr. Shen's house every day too?"

"Uh, this is different, get out of the way."

“Go away then, don’t talk like I can’t hear you.” Kara puffed out her chest proudly. “Super hearing, remember?”
