American comics: Praising the sun, starting from Gotham!

Not long after.

Xiu En stopped in his tracks, his golden eyes narrowing slightly.

Ize walked slowly ahead, his steps uneven, glancing back every now and then at the golden-glowing deity. He moved with extreme deliberation, as if afraid that the deity might crush him if it became displeased.

"Hurry up, little one."

Xiu En urged him on, but still gave him a small cookie that an ordinary person could eat to appease him.

"Are your legs made of noodles? Walking so slowly, by the time we get there, Nassorn might not even have any bones left."

"Yes...yes, Your Majesty."

Ize shuddered and quickened his pace.

"It's not far ahead. Just beyond this twisted forest lies the ancient ruins of Avalon."

The sunflower perched on Xiu En's shoulder, its vines listlessly entwining around a leaf.

"The air quality here is getting worse and worse."

The sunflower fanned its leaves in disdain.

"It smells like moldy blood. Don't get an upset stomach; I didn't bring any stomach medicine."

"You don't understand, only fermented food has the right flavor."

"This high concentration of chaotic magic is simply the best aperitif."

As they ventured deeper, the surrounding trees became increasingly twisted, with dark red growths even sprouting from their trunks, emanating a nauseating pulsation.

It felt as if countless invisible hands were pulling at them from the air.

Suddenly, Ize's legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground.

"God...Kami-sama..."

Ize pointed to his feet in horror.

"The ground is glowing!"

Xiu En looked down.

The muddy ground, which was originally covered with dead leaves, had somehow turned into a dark red curtain of light.

A huge and complex magic circle rapidly formed beneath their feet, and a scarlet light shot into the sky, instantly enveloping the forest within a radius of several hundred meters.

The raging spatial turbulence swept along the edge of the magic circle, forming an indestructible barrier that completely isolated them from the outside world.

"Hahaha! You really came! I can smell that nauseating golden light even from three dimensions away!"

A grand, malevolent voice echoed from the depths of the ruins, reverberating throughout the enclosed space. The voice seemed to be a mixture of countless screams and curses, causing Izzy to clutch his ears in agony and writhe on the ground in agony.

"Did you really think I'd let you track me here so easily without any preparation?"

Sisorn's voice was full of smugness.

"In that lower universe, I merely lost an insignificant projection. But here, on the edge of Avalon, I will use this sacrificial array to utterly drain your arrogant soul!"

The dark red magic circle began to operate violently, and countless chains formed from pure chaotic magic emerged from the ground and wrapped around Xiu En.

Faced with this sudden and desperate situation, Xiu En did not show even the slightest panic.

He didn't even look at the chaotic chains that were wrapping around him. Instead, he looked up at the blood-red barrier in the sky, and his smile grew wider and wider.

"A trap? That's all?"

"Have you been floating in the void for too long? Has your brain gotten waterlogged?"

The sunflower excitedly waved its vines on Xiu En's shoulder, its two leaves standing on its hips.

"Xiu En, he said he wants to smoke!"

The sunflower laughed loudly.

"That's the funniest joke I've heard all year! The fertilizer just packaged itself up and delivered itself to my door!"

Xiu En lowered his head, looking at the chaotic chains that were about to touch him. His clones dissipated, and his true body descended, his eyes burning with dazzling golden crow fire.

"You call this a trap?"

"I call this a buffet plate!"

A sky full of dark red chaotic chains, accompanied by soul-ripping shrieks, came from all directions to strangle Xiu En.

Each chain is afflicted with the most malevolent curse in the Crimson Universe; even a single glance at it can drive an ordinary person mad.

Ize curled up on the ground, clutching his head in pain, and Xiu En sent out a beam of golden light to protect him.

Xiu En stood in the center of the magic circle, facing this terrifying attack, and raised his chin and opened his mouth.

"Snap!"

Xiu En bit down on the chain.

The raging dark red energy raged wildly in his mouth, attempting to corrode his body, but was immediately suppressed by a layer of dazzling golden light.

Xiu En's cheeks puffed out, as if he were chewing a very chewy piece of beef jerky.

"The taste is alright, but there's a bit too much pepper, it's a little harsh on the throat."

Xiu En licked his lips.

Deep within the ruins, Sithon's previously arrogant laughter abruptly ceased.

"What...what are you doing?!"

A few seconds later, Sithon's voice rang out again.

"You actually devoured Crimson's primal magic? That's impossible! Your soul should have been completely corrupted!"

"corrosion?"

Xiu En chuckled and reached out with both hands, grabbing the other two chains that were wrapped around him.

The dazzling Golden Crow Divine Fire erupted from his palm, instantly igniting the dark red magic power.

The originally evil chains, scorched by the golden fire, emitted screams like living creatures and struggled violently.

"Sithon! You know nothing about digestion."

Xiu En pulled backward with both arms.

The massive sacrificial array was actually torn and deformed by Xiu En.

The magic array, originally intended to drain Xiu En's energy, has now become a giant straw, drawing energy from the Crimson Universe in reverse.

The raging chaotic magic surged into Xiu En's body like a flood bursting its banks. Inside his trench coat, the dark patterns representing the dreamlike starry sky began to shimmer with red and gold light after absorbing this power.

"Shuen, that's great!"

The sunflowers excitedly waved their leaves on Xiu En's shoulder.

It extended two thick roots, grabbed Ize who was about to roll his eyes on the ground, and flung him far away to the safe zone at the edge of the magic circle.

"This is a rare, high-grade compound fertilizer; I'm going to plant it on that empty shell!"

The sunflower stared at the red magic that was darting around, its leaves trembling with excitement.

The magic circle's barrier began to flicker violently, and cracks appeared in the originally indestructible spatial barrier under Xiu En's violent devouring.

"Stop! You madman! Monster!"

Sisorn's voice finally betrayed a hint of fear.

He could sense that the backup nodes he had set up in this universe were being forcibly erased.

"Now you want to call a halt? Too late!"

Xiu En let out a loud laugh.

No longer content with chewing each chain individually, he charged headlong into the deepest part of the ruins, facing the swirling chains.

"boom--!"

The entire Avalon ruins collapsed under the impact of Shuen.

Golden flames swept across everything around like a tsunami, instantly burning the twisted trees and dark red tumors to ashes.

In the center of the ruins, Shuen held a twisted humanoid figure made of dark red crystals high in the air, gripping it in one hand. The crystalline figure struggled violently, letting out a defiant roar, but no matter how much chaotic magic it released, it could not budge Shuen's hand, which was burning with golden fire.

"Found you, main course."

I highly recommend "American Comics: Praise the Sun Starting in Gotham!" Click to enter the story world.

Xiu En looked at the high-purity magic candy in his hand and smiled with satisfaction.

"Haha, what are you laughing at?!"

A furious and malicious voice came from the crystal.

"You think you've won? Foolish reptile! You've only grasped one of my tentacles! My true form has already descended upon your pathetic universe through the dimensional rift you tore open!"

Sithon's voice echoed through the ruins, carrying a frenzied madness of revenge.

"Your laughable planet should already be swallowed by the crimson chaos! Everything you cherish will turn to ashes before my true form! This is the price you pay for angering the Crimson Lord!"

Sunflower rolled its eyes.

"Is he not quite right in the head?"

The sunflower yawned.

"Why did he have to go to that place full of monsters?"

Shuen didn't bother to answer Sisorn. He simply tossed the crystal in his hand into the air like a coin and caught it steadily.

"Going to raid someone's base? That's quite courageous."

Xiu En chuckled, a wisp of golden crow fire igniting at his fingertips, and began to slowly roast the edge of the crystal.

"Hopefully your body is tough enough, or you'll get beaten to a pulp by those security guards."

Meanwhile, in the DC Universe, above Metropolis.

The once clear sky was replaced by a thick layer of dark red clouds.

The raging chaotic magic churned in the clouds, and enormous lightning bolts tore through the sky like giant red pythons.

Xisorn's true form, a twisted giant hundreds of meters tall formed from pure chaos magic and crimson resentment, hovered above the city.

On his face, countless red eyes looked down at the humans scurrying away like ants.

"Feel the crimson terror, fragile world!"

Xisorn let out a deafening roar, his enormous hand pressing down, attempting to wipe the bustling city outright.

However, his hand stopped in mid-air.

It wasn't that he wanted to stop, but that he couldn't press the button.

A blue and red afterimage shot into the sky from the streets of the metropolis at a speed many times faster than the sound barrier.

Clark hovered beneath Sisorn's palm.

He simply held up the giant hand with one hand.

Under the prolonged exposure to the polar day and the special care of Brewster, the solar radiation within Superman's cells has reached an unbelievable peak.

His skin even had a faint golden sheen.

You're blocking my sunlight.

Clark's voice reached Sisorn's ears.

Sithon's countless eyes were simultaneously focused on this tiny human being.

He felt resistance, a pure force.

"A flying insect?"

Xisorn sneered, and a high-concentration chaotic corrosive beam suddenly erupted from his palm, completely engulfing Clark.

"Turn into blood!"

The dark red beam of light lasted for a full ten seconds, burning the surrounding air into nothingness.

When the beam of light dissipated, Sithon thought the annoying obstacle had been cleared away, but he saw the man in the red cloak still hovering in the same spot.

The chaotic magic struck his steel body, but it didn't even leave a red mark.

"Your energy is full of malice and destruction."

Clark frowned slightly, a chilling crimson light flashing in his eyes.

"This city doesn't welcome you. The Earth doesn't welcome you either."

As soon as he finished speaking, Clark's eyes shot out two beams of heat.

These two beams of heat pierced right through Xisorn's palm, even evaporating the magic at the edge of the wound.

Sithon let out a painful roar.

But before he could retaliate, Clark had vanished from his spot in an instant.

"boom--!"

Clark appeared directly in front of Sithon's massive body and delivered a simple, unadorned right straight punch, slamming it hard into the demon god's chest.

Sithon's massive body was like a baseball hit to a home run in the face of this force, flying backward and carving a vacuum tunnel tens of thousands of meters long in the sky. The red chaotic clouds were instantly torn apart and shattered by the force of this punch.

Sunlight shines again on the streets of the metropolis.

Xisorn's body tumbled violently in mid-air, and dark red chaotic magic spread wildly in all directions.

He managed to steady himself tens of thousands of meters away, with countless scarlet eyes staring at the tiny figure in the distance.

As the ruler of the Crimson Universe, he could not accept that his chaos magic could not even penetrate the surface of his opponent.

"Since the body cannot be destroyed, then let your soul rot in the crimson!"

Sithon roared.

His massive body instantly disintegrated, transforming into a dark red torrent that blotted out the sky.

This torrent, following Clark's gaze and breath, forcefully entered his body.

This is the most primal chaotic possession of Xisorn. As long as the target has even the slightest bit of greed, fear, or anger in their heart, this power can amplify it infinitely, eventually completely assimilating the host into a crimson puppet.

Clark hovered in mid-air, his brow furrowed.

He could feel a malice trying to invade his brain, trying to rummage through the darkest corners of his memory.

But he did not panic.

Within Clark's body, a vast amount of light was flowing ceaselessly in sync with his heartbeat.

More importantly, the heart of the farm boy remained calm and undisturbed.

"Get out."

"Aaaaaahh ...

Less than three seconds later, the dark red torrent that had just entered Clark's body surged back out at an even faster speed than it had come in.

Xisorn's true form reformed in mid-air, but at this moment his body had shrunk by half, and the chaotic magic that had been churning on his surface had become sluggish.

Even more terrifying, large patches of golden scorch marks, as if burned by a raging fire, appeared on his body, which was made of pure energy.

"That's impossible!"

Xisorn's voice was filled with pain; he even began to doubt whether something had gone wrong with his long career as a demon god.

"What kind of monster are you?!"

Sithon pointed at Clark, his voice trembling with pain.

"There is no greed, no tyranny, not even the slightest selfishness or evil thought! Your soul, apart from that utterly disgusting sunlight, is filled entirely with those weak protective instincts!"

Sithon took two steps back, his red eyes filled with apprehension.

Even gods have desires! What exactly is inside this body of yours?!

Clark didn't want to respond. He slowly raised his right fist, and the chilling golden light shone on it again, ready to end this farce once and for all.

Just then, the sky above the metropolis began to distort.

A transdimensional rift, burning with pure gold flames, opened above Xisorn's head.

With one hand in his pocket and the other tossing the dark red core crystal, Xiu En slowly walked out of the crack.

The sunflower sat steadily on his shoulder, its two leaves flapping excitedly.

"Yo, isn't this the Crimson Lord, Sithon? We've finally caught your true form!"

Shuen hovered in mid-air, looking down at the disheveled Xisone below, and smiled brightly.

"What happened? Did my friend here have bad service and burn you?"
