I became light in American comics

It was terrifying just a minute ago.

It felt like I'd stumbled into some kind of horror movie set, and I was just a background character used to create atmosphere in a classic scene.

Just a minute later, the atmosphere changed drastically. Not only did the terror in my heart vanish instantly, but looking at the door-knocking ghost's awkward pose, I even found it somewhat comical.

Then she understood.

From horror movies to comedies

The only thing missing is Ultraman.

Chapter 43 Birdman in a Dream

The results proved that it wasn't ghosts that were pretending to be supernatural, but people.

They were just people who had been tricked.

After taking down the masked man wielding the axe and the two men who were knocking on the door, Shen You used the armor scanner and Ultra Vision to scan their bodies and quickly made a discovery.

A strange energy filled their bodies, circulating among their internal organs, briefly strengthening their physical bodies and granting them physical strength beyond that of humans.

But that's not all. With the help of Ultra Vision, Shen You could see that strange energy surged into their central nervous systems. Clearly, that force had affected their brains, interfering with their behavior and judgment.

Perhaps it's magic?

The current Shen You is nothing like when he first arrived, completely clueless about the magic side of DC. Not only has he gained experience fighting demons a few times, but he also has Shazam, a top-tier wizard on the magic side, by his side. Although the old man is now weakened, with his mana bar constantly running low and his strength significantly reduced, his insight remains.

By casually seeking advice from the old wizard during his daily life, Shen You gained a considerable amount of knowledge about magic and learned some basic ideas and perspectives for observation.

It seems that these two people were affected by some kind of magical energy.

He definitely didn't know how to break the curse. Shen You thought for a moment and decided to try throwing out a purifying ray first, and if that didn't work, he would consult the old wizard.

Purification is a branch of the light-based techniques in the Land of Light. Almost all Ultraman possess one or two purification techniques to some extent, which mainly have the effects of dispelling darkness, calming the mind, soothing the spirit, and restoring health and mana to a certain degree.

The most representative figure is naturally Gauss. This predecessor's mastery of purification techniques can be described as unprecedented and unparalleled throughout history.

After all, when faced with their respective TV drama bosses, some predecessors pulled humans into light and charged in, some called for help to gang up on them, and some rented a power bank to deal 999 damage in one hit. But the one who directly turned the boss into a woman and added her to his harem like Gauss is definitely unique.

This story is widely circulated in the Land of Light, and it even sparked a craze among young Ultramen to learn purification techniques.

Shen You wasn't very good at this; he could only say he knew a little about it. Fortunately, it seemed to work. His light quickly dispelled the magic, and the two men regained their senses. After sitting up, they were initially bewildered, but when they saw Shen You beside them, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

After calming down, and when Shen You asked them what had happened, the two looked at each other and fell into thought.

"Well, my last memory is of us walking together on the street."

Then I saw a woman.

"Yes, yes, very white, and especially big!"

"I've never seen anything this big in my life."

"One thing to say, one thing to say, indeed."

"."

Seeing that the two LSSPs were gradually going off-topic, Shen You had to cough to bring them back to the main point.

"Oh, and then I remember I was attacked by her."

"It felt like she grabbed us by the neck. I struggled desperately, and then my mind went completely blank."

"Yes, yes, me too. I woke up here."

A woman?

Shen You realized that must be the key. He continued questioning, and the two only said that the woman seemed to be wearing a very conspicuous large cloak, which looked like peacock feathers, and that otherwise it seemed like there was nothing underneath her.

Besides that, all they talk about is how long and how big it is, which is not very informative and provides no useful information.

After the two left, Zola, the girl who had been chased, frowned, as if she had thought of something.

"Not only that, it's impossible!"

She seemed startled by one of her own associations and began to shake her head.

"Impossible, that shouldn't be. It was just a dream."

Shen You turned around: "Is there anything you want to say?"

“Not really, kind of,” Zola scratched his head. “But that’s ridiculous. I don’t think so.”

"Do you think it's normal to be chased and killed by two brainwashed guys pretending to be gods and ghosts?" Shen You asked rhetorically.

Zola hesitated for a moment.

"really."

This whole thing is anything but normal. Nothing is surprising given what could have happened.

"Okay, first of all, thank you so much for saving me. I've seen you online. By the way, are you an alien?" The girl blinked, looking expectant.

"Tell me about your business first," Shen You said.

“Oh right, okay. It’s still a bit strange, actually. It was a dream I had,” Zola said.

"Dream?"

“Hmm. In my dream, I was also being chased, and it seemed to be in some kind of primeval tropical jungle.” Zola frowned, trying hard to recall the scene from the dream. “Some memories are blurry. But I remember there were monsters that were relentlessly pursuing me.”

Then I ran and ran, and suddenly I felt a gust of wind sweep past me. I looked back and saw that the monster was dead. It looked horribly gruesome; it had been ripped open, and its internal organs and intestines were scattered all over the ground. I immediately vomited.

"Is someone helping you?" Shen You asked.

“Yes,” Zola nodded. “Then I saw him. He looked like a birdman.”

Shen You raised an eyebrow under his helmet, somewhat puzzled by the description.

"It's all black, covered in feathers, and its feet look like bird webs. Oh, and it seems to have wings too," Zola gestured. "It looks like a birdman."

Shen You pondered deeply.

Is there such a person in DC?

“And then I remember he was really fast!” Zola slapped her forehead. “He mentioned his name. I remember now, he said his name was ‘Hermes.’ That’s weird, isn’t it? Why would someone name themselves after a luxury brand?”

Shen You was stunned for two seconds, then quickly realized what was happening.

"Hermes?"

Hermes, well-known to girls as a famous French fashion brand, actually derives its name from Hermes in Greek mythology, one of the sons of Zeus, also known as Mercury in Rome. In mythology, he is described as the god of merchants, travelers, thieves, and livestock.

“Yes, you know him?” Zola asked.

"If I don't know you, keep talking."

"Uh, and then the birdman, that is, Hermes, told me that I had to wake up quickly. After I woke up, there would still be people chasing me, and he told me that I had to run away quickly."

But when I woke up, I just thought it was a nonsensical dream. You know, what logic can a dream have? So I didn't think much of it.

As she spoke, a look of horror crossed her face, and she looked up at Shen You.

"So what he said is true? Someone is really chasing me? And maybe even monsters?"

"It seems so," Shen You said. "Did he say who was chasing you and why?"

"Who it was, but the reason."

Zola paused for a moment, a somewhat strange expression on his face.

He said it was because I was pregnant with Zeus's child.

Shen You: "?"

Chapter 44 City people really know how to play

"Zeus's child?"

Shen You even doubted that he had misheard.

Zola clutched her stomach: "I was quite surprised too. But that birdman told me so confidently, saying they were coming to kill us. There were assassins, monsters, all sorts of things beyond my imagination, all ordered to execute us."

At first glance, it seemed absurd, but after a little thought, Shen You felt that it might actually be possible.

Greek mythology is inherently a realm where human ethics are somewhat inaccessible, and at least nine out of ten myths contain content unsuitable for children. DC Comics, adhering to the principle of respecting the original work, perfectly preserved this tendency of the Greek gods in its adaptations, with Zeus, as the king of the gods, taking this to its extreme.

This thing is practically a fully automated, self-propelled pile driver, ramming wherever it goes, indiscriminately taking on mortals, gods, and aliens alike, and sometimes even non-humanoid beings. Its XP system, after tens of thousands of years of numerous updates and iterations, is enough to leave even the most bizarre modern LSPs in the dust, and psychologists would shun it.

If I remember correctly, Zeus did seem to have a habit of going out to have fun every now and then. He was skilled at using magic to transform himself into various appearances, approaching girls of different classes, personalities, and races under different identities, and then, after a whole night of stormy weather, he would often disappear into thin air the next day.

His procedures were so skillful that even Arthur would have to admit defeat on the spot, saying that he was the true king of the sea and that the throne should belong to him.

Thinking of this, Shen You asked, "Are you starting to think that birdman was right? So you really did see Zeus?"

“Maybe,” Zola said.

"So who do you think Zeus is? What does he look like?"

"Uh, he seems to be a truck driver."

Shen You was taken aback: "Truck driver?"

He had originally thought he would be a dashing, handsome, and extravagant playboy.

Could this be a high-level player who doesn't follow any set rules in terms of character?

"Yeah, but he looks really strong, and his marksmanship is really amazing."

Shen You: "?"

“But maybe it was that pool player,” Zola said, scratching his head thoughtfully. “He really does look very handsome. I bought him a whiskey, and then we chatted all the way to the hotel.”

Shen You: "??"

“Oh, it might be that guy from the band,” Zola mused. “He sings really well, I love his voice…” But wait, it doesn’t seem like it. Because his voice is a bit small, and too fast.

Shen You: "???"

He suddenly realized that it wasn't entirely unreasonable for this girl to meet Zeus.

City people really know how to play.

“Ah, I remember now.” Zola frowned. “That birdman also said that nowhere is safe for me. The assassin won’t let it go, that person will hunt me to the ends of the earth. Unless… unless there’s only one place.”
