American comics: Praising the sun, starting from Gotham!

"American Comics: Praise the Sun Starting in Gotham!" is currently being serialized and is not to be missed!

The bright red and green backdrops around him posed no obstacle to Xiu En's eyes.

Sunflower Ivy found the constantly shifting magical coordinates underground. The root network that had just taken root underground in the town ignored the false settings of changing scenes and eras and caught up with Agatha, who was trying to escape through the bottom of the tunnel.

Several tough vines pierced the drainpipe opening right in the middle of the street.

With a loud cracking sound as the concrete began to crumble, Agatha was forcibly pulled upside down from the ground and into the air by the plants.

"Damn plant, get it off my dress and let me down!"

Agatha swayed her body, her hands futilely trying to pry at the vines, and her crimson robe with its purplish-black trim was immediately torn with several charred rips.

Xiu En stopped and looked up at the disheveled, middle-aged woman in mid-air.

"I'm talking to you, ma'am."

Xiu En stretched out a finger and poked the thick root hanging on the side of his face.

"Having to play hide-and-seek to find a seat in a restaurant? That's not exactly polite hospitality. Didn't you even print out the menu on your trolley?"

The sunflower on his left shoulder swayed its flower head arrogantly a few times, its two emerald green leaves forking the base of its stem.

"Shuen, quickly remove this filth! She reeks of rotting sewers; it's a brutal exploitation of nature!"

Ivy protested, and the force of the binding around her roots instantly intensified.

"You talkative plastic potted plant!"

Agatha stared at the person and the flower below and angrily denounced them. Suddenly, a large area of ​​intense purple-black death curses leaped from the center of her palms.

"I'll crush your leaves, extract the juice, and then slowly gnaw you apart, you shiny, reflective creature!"

Purple light quickly enveloped Agatha's body, and the vines were forced to release the old hag under the influence of the magic.

Agatha pulled herself up in mid-air and flipped herself onto the base of the fog platform that had condensed in mid-air.

Her eyebrows and eyes were covered with terrifying, withered black energy patterns, and a book that reeked of death and decay floated in the air as she pulled with her interlaced hands.

Ominous crimson streaks flickered along the edges of the book.

This is the Dark Book that Shuen was looking for!

The oppressive atmosphere emanating from the Dark Book caused even the air in that dimension to gradually freeze.

Xiu En rubbed his fingertips together and shouted loudly to urge the witch opposite him.

"Yes, yes, it's finally here! Too many dry, short skits are bad for your taste buds. The main course has finally been served!"

Agatha sneered, raised her arm, and slowly opened the book halfway along the pages, splashing terrifying black flames toward Xiu En.

Xiu En felt a chaotic malice capable of twisting and obscuring reality strike his aura directly.

"This is the Shadow of Creation! The Immortal Lord has granted True Shamans the boundless power to strip away souls! And you, standing before it, are merely gaping and commenting on its taste? You ignorant bandit!"

The purplish-black magic sliced ​​through the outer edge of the five-meter-long pure-colored pillar of light protecting Xiu En.

Xiu En was excited by this chaotic energy that had no logical order and specifically designed to alter physical properties.

Xiu En refused to back down.

His body stepped out of that colored boundary and completely entered the core magic field, which was purple to black.

The surrounding space stretched into bizarre, fragmented, mirror-like light spots.

The people wandering the streets were scattered and boundless, as if the water had flowed backwards.

Agatha struck a seal mark on the top edge of the Dark Book, pointing it towards the opposite side to provide guidance.

"Strip him of his flesh!"

"Strip away the flesh and blood of light? You must be kidding!"

Xiu En reached out and grabbed the edge of the book, his palm probing into the chaotic vortex.

Those curse runes that could strip away the soul and corrode the body all turned into wisps of harmless blue smoke when they came into contact with the golden light at his fingertips.

"Don't touch it! That's forbidden!"

Agatha's voice had completely changed; she panicked after discovering that her curses and magic were ineffective against the man of light, her eyes filled with the fear of seeing something indescribable.

She desperately wanted to close the Dark Book, even at the cost of losing half an arm.

But it was too late.

Xiu's fingers were already gripping the pages of the book.

"Rip!"

The pages of the book, which recorded ancient black magic and was considered more precious than life itself by countless mages, were torn off by Xiu En as if they were just ordinary scraps of newspaper.

Agatha, suffering a backlash, coughed up a mouthful of purplish-black blood and flew backward, crashing into a black and white wall that had not yet completely disappeared.

She didn't bother wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, staring wide-eyed at the madman who was stuffing book pages into his mouth.

Xiu En held the page that kept twisting and screaming, trying to bite him with the runes on it, as if examining a piece of freshly baked seaweed.

"Click."

He bit off half of the spell page that contained chaotic magic and connected to the crimson universe.

An indescribable taste.

It's like eating a piece of expired preserved egg that's been overloaded with too much chili oil.

"Hmm...it's a bit strong."

Xiu En frowned, but instead quickened his chewing. With a thud of his Adam's apple, he swallowed the chaotic energy that was enough to drive an ordinary person mad and mutate instantly.

"And it gets stuck in your teeth a bit, like uncooked tree bark."

"You...you ate it?"

Agatha's voice trembled as she watched the golden light on Xiu En's body dim for a moment due to the absorption of chaotic energy, and then erupt even more violently.

"You absorbed the power of Sithon? That's impossible! How could a mortal body withstand that!"

"I already told you not to eat random things!"

The sunflower was covering its flower head with two leaves, looking at its troublesome partner with a look of disgust.

"This smells like rotten salted fish that's been buried for a hundred years! Aren't you afraid of getting diarrhea?!"

Although she was complaining, Ivy wasn't idle.

The golden-green vines had completely blocked all of Agatha's escape routes. One vine even thoughtfully rolled up the half-page that had fallen to the ground, as if it were helping Xiu En clean up the crumbs on the table.

"Stop talking nonsense, this is very nutritious."

Xiu En let out a burp that emitted a purple wisp of smoke. He felt the Golden Crow True Fire within his body, which had been somewhat restless, burn even more fiercely after being fueled by this high-purity negative energy.

Clearly, darkness is the best fuel for light.

"Although the taste wasn't great, the portion was huge and filling!"

Xiu En suddenly stopped moving. He seemed to sense something and looked up at the vortex in the sky that had turned blood red because of the activation of the Dark Book.

The torn dark book was now suspended in mid-air, trembling violently.

The demonic eye on the spine of the book opened, filled with rage.

An ancient, evil, and supremely majestic will, following the forcibly torn magical connection, crossed countless dimensional barriers and cast its gaze upon this small Earth plane.

That's Sithon.

God of Black Magic.

The Great Shadow, the source of chaotic power.

The entire space of Xijing Town began to groan under the strain, and the boundaries of reality were rapidly dissolving.

That oppressive aura was no longer a minor, borrowed act like Agatha Christie's, but a true harbinger of divine intervention.

"Who dares to desecrate my sacred relic!"

A voice rang out, filled with boundless rage and greed.

As Shuen looked at the ever-growing red eyeball in the sky, a dazzling smile appeared on his face that filled Agatha with despair.

He wiped the black residue from the corner of his mouth, his eyes burning with a hunger hotter than the sun.

"Oh, so this dish also offers chef delivery service?"

"The heat is a bit too high, head chef!"

Xiu En's voice was filled with excitement.

He took flight, going against the current to rush towards the colossal hand that emerged from the dimensional rift.

His trench coat billowed wildly, and the lining, which was originally as deep as the night sky, was stained with an ominous blood color by the extremely aggressive crimson magic from the outside world.

It seems that the power of the projected trench coat is ultimately limited.

"boom--!"

Xiu En's fist, wreathed in Golden Crow True Fire, slammed solidly into Xisone's enormous fingers.

Golden order burns and crimson chaos twists and collides! Exclusive! Soul Valley interview and behind-the-scenes look at the creation of "American Comics: Praising the Sun Starting from Gotham!", only available to those in need.

"The texture is a bit like biting into a piece of pig iron that has been sitting for ten thousand years."

Xiu En grimaced and shook his numb arm, which was now covered with cracks like those on porcelain, with golden shavings constantly oozing from the cracks.

"It's a little tough on the teeth, but it's incredibly chewy!"

"This is your power? A mortal thing that stole a sliver of the concept of stars?"

Sithon's voice became countless overlapping, nauseating echoes.

Agatha was already on the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices, and didn't even have the courage to look up.

The enormous red hand merely flicked its fingers slightly.

The next second, the space around Xiu En collapsed.

The physical rules that were originally used to maintain their existence were forcibly rewritten.

Xiu En discovered that his Golden Crow True Fire was no longer generating heat, but instead began to freeze.

His hard body became as soft as noodles.

Even the sunflowers behind him, whose once lush green leaves had instantly turned into a pile of rotting tentacles emitting a foul stench.

"Damn it! My photosynthesis has turned into scavenging?"

Ivy's clone screamed, desperately trying to sever its connection with this space.

"Shuen! The rules here are all gibberish! My roots can't get in!"

"Gibberish is better!"

Before Xiu En could finish speaking, he was slammed into the ground.

"Bang!"

The ground of Xijing Town was like a fragile piece of paper that could be easily punctured.

Xiu En's figure disappeared into the hundred-meter-high dust, leaving behind only a bottomless crater.

But it's not over yet.

The red eye in the sky blinked.

Countless chains made of pure chaos magic burrowed into the ground, tightly binding the stunned Xiu En, and then pulling him into the air like a radish.

The chains burned with black fire specifically targeting the soul, greedily devouring the golden light on Xiu'en's body.

"Your soul is very special!"

Sithon's will carried a hint of mockery.

"It is filled with a repulsive order and light. Perhaps offering it as my advent sacrifice will make this dinner a little more interesting."

Xiu En was in an extremely disheveled state at the moment.

His golden statue had become dull and lifeless, his limbs were being pulled by chains, and his trench coat had completely shattered.

But he was still smiling.

Even though golden energy was already spewing out of its mouth.

"Sacrificial offerings? Heh heh!"

Xiu En struggled to lift his head.

"Old man, don't you understand the situation? I'm inspecting the goods."

"Stubborn and obstinate."

Sithon lost his patience.

The enormous red hand, which blotted out the sky, suddenly clenched its fist.

This time, it's not a test.

That was an absolute power from a dimensional lord, enough to crush a planet.

"Snap!"

A cracking sound rang out.

The last layer of golden light protecting Xiu En shattered instantly, and he was held firmly in the palm of a terrifying grip, unable to move.

The brilliance of the golden crow appeared so insignificant for the first time in the shadow of the deep red universe.

The Sithonna seemed to be a giant hand formed from the malice of the entire universe, slowly and steadily closing.

Faced with this power, Xiu En's once dazzling clone was now like a light bulb about to go out, its golden radiance being gradually swallowed up by the chaotic black and red tide.

The sunflower let out one last scream.

Instead of trying to attack the unspeakable demon, she planted all her roots into Xiu En's shattered energy shell.

Through the power of grace.

A dazzling, almost blinding, emerald-green light burst forth in the chaotic darkness.

That was a life miracle created by Ivy's clone exhausting all her original power.

Countless thin but incredibly resilient golden-green vines held firm against Sithon's thumb, which was pressing down on them.

Even if it's just for a second.

Even if the price is that the sunflower's body withers rapidly under the licking of the chaotic black fire, turning into a pile of lifeless ashes.

"Tsk... How ugly, Ivy."

Xiu En looked at the little creature on his shoulder, now reduced to ashes, with a pang of heartache.

"This is your symbiote? As fragile as a wet tissue."

Sithon's voice was filled with the disdain of higher-dimensional beings for lower-dimensional life.

He increased the force by just a tiny bit, and the stubborn vines snapped instantly, making a heartbreaking cracking sound.

"Click"

Then it shattered.

It is the core of Xiu'en's energy.

Golden cracks covered his entire body.

High-purity Golden Crow Divine Power surged from each crack, but before it could erupt, it was completely absorbed by the surrounding greedy chaotic space.

Xiu En felt that he was probably going to die.

pain?

No, he was already used to pain, so it wouldn't be this unbearable.

Is this a form of negation?

Sithon is erasing the legitimacy of Shuen's existence from its very source.

"You should feel honored, you bug."

Sithon's giant eye drew close to the distorted sphere of light.

"You can become my first stepping stone back to the material world. By offering you as a sacrifice, I can obtain a decent body in the material world."

"Stepping stone?"

Shuen, whose head had been squeezed so tightly that only his head remained intact, suddenly burst out laughing.

"Didn't you understand what I just said?"

Shuen's eyes, which were beginning to crumble, stared at Xisorn's pupils, which were filled with a chaotic storm.

"I told you, I'm inspecting the goods."

"boom--!"

The next moment, Xiu En deliberately detonated all the remaining energy within this clone.

The golden dust exploded in Chaos's palm. Instead of dissipating, it acted like tiny black holes, adhering to Xisone's skin and forming golden coordinates.

"You've passed."

Xiu En's voice became ethereal as his clone dissipated.

"you are done."

Sisorn paused for a moment.

As a dimensional lord, he had seen countless curses and pleas for mercy before death in his long life, but he had never seen such strange last words.

"Playing tricks."

He snorted coldly, preparing to withdraw his hand and wipe away the remaining gold dust completely.

However, he couldn't pull it.

The dimensional giant hand, which should have been able to move freely through the void, now seemed to be welded to this space.

Those originally insignificant golden coordinates suddenly burst forth with a radiance billions of times stronger than before.

A crack.

A golden crack was forcibly torn open in the center of Xisorn's palm.

That was the channel created by the collision of two cosmic concepts.

A hand reached out from the crack.

It simply stretched out its hand and then slapped its massive thumb, as large as the Sithon Mountains.

"Sizzle!"

The chaotic laws that could easily crush the clones before retreated frantically when they came into contact with the skin of this palm.

A figure stepped out from the edge of the crack.

He was also wearing a long black trench coat that seemed to be flowing with the entire starry sky.

The dark gold buttons on the collar gleamed in the chaotic storm.

His black hair was casually tied back, and flames burned in his golden pupils.

Behind him, not only was the gray sky of the Marvel Universe visible, but another world was also faintly projected.

The reflection of Gotham, which had been shrouded in continuous rain, now seemed to have two suns shining brightly in the sky because of his presence.

Xiu En moved his neck slightly.

He glanced at the ashes of Ivy's clones at his feet that hadn't yet dissipated, then raised his head and gave the frozen demon a bright smile.

"Which hand did you squeeze it just now?"
