American comics: Praising the sun, starting from Gotham!

As the sun first crowed, the pure sunlight that had not dissipated for tens of thousands of years above the clouds frantically converged on Xiu En's body, which was undergoing a qualitative change.

In the blink of an eye, a suit of armor, entirely composed of materialized Gengxin metal energy and true solar fire, had already covered Xiu En's body.

That shape could not be cast from ordinary iron.

The shoulder-swallowing creature is a three-legged golden crow roaring to the sky, with flowing crimson-gold flames resembling cloud patterns on its breastplate, and each armor plate radiating a high temperature sufficient to melt steel.

The long train trailed down like a phoenix tail at an altitude of two thousand meters.

"It's too dark here."

Golden combat boots lightly stomped through the air.

The Gotham Clouds, which were originally impenetrable even by missiles due to various contaminations and curses, began to dissipate in all directions.

The sky cracked as the 30 million citizens below stared in disbelief.

A huge cavity with a diameter of more than ten kilometers appeared out of thin air.

The long-awaited real sunlight overlapped with the radiance emanating from the humanoid deity high in the sky, whose entire body was engulfed in brilliant golden flames.

On this afternoon, Gotham was free of shadows.

"This place is too humid."

So, Xiu En generously unleashed light and heat directly above this rainy city.

One bunch, two bunches, millions of bunches.

It's not just the light of grace.

He let the real star, the sun, shine in without reservation.

On the ground, Gothamites, whether they were petty thugs robbing in the dirty alleys of the East Side or so-called elites sitting in skyscrapers in the Diamond District drinking champagne, all stopped what they were doing at that moment.

Everyone raised their heads in unison.

They witnessed a scene they would never forget.

Above that cloudless blue sky, apart from the sun, which was unfamiliar to most people.

Another, even more dazzling, crimson-golden sun hovered directly above this city of sin.

"I can actually see the sun, two of them? Have they drunk too much?"

A homeless man rubbed his eyes.

Inside the greenhouse of the orphanage, Ivy's plants, which had been somewhat withered from working under heavy loads, became visibly robust and lush under the special care of the sun. Even the cactus that never bloomed blossomed with a golden double flower in a second.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the construction site, Joestar and his followers were prostrating themselves on the cement.

"Lord! This is the purification you have given us!"

Every pore on these muscular men's bodies was expelling impurities from this intense sunbathing, and happiness radiated from every face.

As the team leader in charge of cleaning up the mess, Bruce, sitting in the Batmobile, simply turned off the shrill alarm sound of the car's radar without any expression.

"Ah Fu, contact Wayne Group's weather department."

He glanced at the figure on the screen that was shining like a star, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"Tell them that the weather forecast for Gotham for the next two days has been changed to scorching sun across the entire territory, with some areas experiencing 'golden showers,' and advise residents to apply anti-radiation cream."

"Yes, young master. Also, perhaps you should add a rule prohibiting direct eye contact with unidentified luminous objects in the sky, otherwise our ophthalmology hospital might be overflowing with patients."

Not long after, the crimson-gold sun that had been hovering over Gotham's sky left a large afterimage on everyone's retinas before vanishing into thin air.

The Golden Crow's divine power, which had been so violent that it threatened to ignite every inch of air, receded like a tide and retreated back into Xiu En's rebuilt dantian.

Reason regained its footing, and the indifference that had once viewed all living beings as mere ants dissipated. But the Gengxin metal energy within him was clearly not done playing around yet. Freed from the constraints of divinity, it once again began to expand and try to become stronger, like headless flies.

Xiu En made a hand seal in mid-air, took a deep breath, and the golden light on his body, which had not yet cooled, forcefully suppressed the restless golden energy as he circulated his cultivation technique.

With a swift movement, he landed in the passenger seat of the Batmobile and retrieved the sunflower potted plant.

"Thanks, Bat. Put the fare on your tab later."

Before Bruce's expression, as black as the bottom of a pot, could fully turn around, the figure with long, black hair that even the best shampoo guy would envy had already broken the sound barrier once again.

The greenhouse glass at Martha Wayne Homehouse is currently displaying a psychedelic color.

If this place was a botanical garden before, it is now like the primeval heart of the Amazon rainforest.

Having undergone the sacred baptism of high-purity sunlight, an ordinary tomato vine even grew thicker than an adult's arm.

Ivy was sitting in the middle of a pitcher plant that had grown to an extremely large size.

She seemed a little lost in thought.

Until the greenhouse door, which was blocked by vines, seemed to sense something, the vines made way.

She seemed a little lost in thought.

Until the greenhouse door, which was blocked by vines, seemed to sense something, the vines made way.

"Ta-da! Look here!"

That familiar voice carried a strong sense of smugness.

Xiu En stood at the doorway, facing the still somewhat dazzling sunlight behind him.

His golden crow armor, which had become somewhat indistinct due to the fading of his divinity, now only had a few flowing cloud-like golden patterns on the collar and cuffs, making him look rather plain.

He deliberately flicked his long, jet-black hair that reached his waist.

"How's it going, Ivy? You don't have to worry about my hair volume embarrassing you anymore, right?"

Xiu En pointed to his new look, his face completely devoid of the aloofness he had displayed as a deity just moments before.

"I think if I didn't become a hero, just making a shampoo movie would make me a strong contender for the title of Gotham's richest man."

As he spoke, he handed the sunflower clone, which was already dizzy from the high-speed flight, to Ivy.

His golden eyes were full of smiles.

Ivy narrowed her eyes slightly.

She did find Xiu En's current appearance quite pleasing to the eye.

But pleasing to the eye doesn't necessarily mean convenient.

Especially when a few strands of hair drifted into her enormous pitcher plant teacup along with the lingering heat in the air.

"This thing will definitely get you grabbed in a fight. Trust me, just pulling your hair could yank you down from the sky."

"Hmm, you're right, let's cut it then."

Xiu En agreed.

Ivy gently beckoned with her finger.

A clump of bushes in the corner stirred.

The black-gold carnivorous flower, which had just completed its second metallization mutation, came running over eagerly.

"Black Gold, give him a makeover. Just like I taught you."

Ivy pointed to Xiu En's back, her tone carrying a hint of blind confidence in her pet.

"This little guy has a very strong bite right now. It's perfect for dealing with these seemingly tough strands of hair of yours."

Xiu En enthusiastically tossed a lock of his long hair, which was slowly emitting a faint golden light, in front of him.

"Then it had better be careful. This isn't the kind of ordinary stuff you can buy in a department store."

The black-gold carnivorous plant seemed very excited.

It had never tried this kind of soft, shiny black exercise material before.

Its ring of gleaming alloy teeth opened instantly.

She took a full-force bite into the strand of hair that Xiu En was holding in her hand!

A string of blinding sparks exploded violently between Hugh's hair and the mouth of the man-eating flower.

Xiu En's beautiful hair didn't even break at the very end; in fact, it became even blacker, shinier, and smoother because of the impact.

"Awooo—wooo?!!"

A mournful howl, like that of a stray dog ​​that had just been kicked in the butt, echoed through the greenhouse.

Ivy and Xiu En watched as the Black Gold Carnivorous Flower's originally large and round alloy head suddenly tilted back.

Two sharp teeth, each as long as a dagger, flew to Ivy's feet.

A broken tooth fell to the ground.

The black-gold carnivorous plant was stunned.

It covered its large mouth, which was emitting blue smoke, with two huge leaves.

Those eyes, formed from plant stomata, seemed to reveal a despair called doubt about life.

It let out a whimper, didn't even glance at its owner, and tumbled and crawled straight through the side glass, rushing out and plunging headfirst into the moat plants outside the welfare home.
