American comics: Praising the sun, starting from Gotham!

When Xiu En returned to the Xi Mu Realm, the other two were already waiting there.

On the left, a man sat cross-legged on a glowing rock, sipping what looked like some kind of nebula beverage. That was Marvel Shum, who had just returned from a Marvel shopping trip and had dinner with the Avengers. His humanity was overflowing.

The one on the right, dressed in a simplified version of the Golden Crow Armor, hovered in mid-air with a serious expression, emanating a faint smell of sulfur and roasted meat. He seemed to possess even less humanity than White Lantern Shuen. That was Gotham Sun Shuen, who had just finished his daytime purification work and was resting during his shift.

"Oh, you're back so soon?"

Marvel Shun swirled the Nebula in his glass and greeted him casually, but he quickly noticed that this Shun, like the Gotham Shun next to him, didn't react much, and he frowned slightly.

"What's wrong? Why do you look like that guy next to me who works shifts in Gotham?"

Gotham Shuen also slowly descended from mid-air, sizing up White Lantern Shuen.

"Hmm, I remember your mission was to collect a few different colored lights, right? That can burn away humanity? You didn't go to Zamalun, you went to a crematorium!"

"Zamaren. It's definitely much scarier than a crematorium."

Ivy, the sunflower on her shoulder, nodded in agreement and tapped Xiu En with a leaf.

"Oh no, something's not right."

Marvel Shuen stood up, walked forward, circled White Lantern Shuen twice clockwise, and then twice counterclockwise.

"Something's really wrong with you. What happened to you? You can't have gone to Gotham to be the sun, can you?"

White Lantern Xiuen raised his hand, which was adorned with a pure white lantern ring.

He shook the ring.

next second.

The main body then shared Bai Deng Xiu En's experiences with the other two clones present.

All the images, all the memories, all the insights were poured into the minds of the other two clones in a mere second.

Marvel Shuen stared in disbelief at White Lantern Shuen.

"Wow!"

It took Marvel Shuen a while to find his voice. He rushed forward, grabbed White Lantern Shuen's shoulder, and shook him violently.

"I'm amazing! As expected of me! I tore the Black Death Emperor apart with my bare hands?! And you even turned Death into a specimen?!"

"Indeed, they deserve praise."

Gotham Shuen also came over. He looked at the pure white ring on White Lantern Shuen's finger and his eyes showed an approving look.

"To quell a cosmic catastrophe single-handedly. Such an achievement is indeed remarkable!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a scepter carved with a three-legged golden crow totem appeared in his hand.

"This is the Staff of the Sun, capable of commanding purifying light. I bestow it upon you to demonstrate divine power!"

He handed it over with a serious expression, as if he were holding some kind of award ceremony.

"Are you alright? What's so great about giving away a firewood stick? And to yourself no less? Have you gone mad from the sun?"

Marvel Shuen looked disdainful and pulled something out of his pocket.

"Come on, try this! It's a specialty roasted pork leg from Asgard! The authentic Thor's version! I saved it especially for you! I guarantee it'll make you feel incredibly human!"

As he spoke, the two clones, one holding a scepter and the other holding a pig's leg, forcefully stuffed them into Bai Deng Xiu En's arms.

"His achievements should be recognized with divine artifacts!"

"Damn it! Do you think the sun's made you stupid? I'm exhausted, of course I need to eat meat first! Can a magical artifact be eaten as food?!"

"Do you even know what a sense of ritual is?!"

"Do you even know what the pleasure of food is?!"

Then, in order to argue about which was more important, the divine artifact or the pig's leg, the two projected clones started pushing and shoving each other in the back garden.

Clearly, even Gotham's godlike Shun couldn't stand his overly human side.

Just as the two versions of themselves were about to fight each other over the ultimate cosmic question of whether something is salty or sweet.

A voice with a helpless smile rang out from behind them.

"Alright, stop arguing."

It is the entity itself.

After the main body appeared, Xiu En's thoughts were shared.

The original body shook its head helplessly.

The three Xiu En nodded.

Bai Jiexiu transformed into a soft white light.

The Marvel Shun and Gotham Shun next to them exchanged a smile and transformed into two streaks of light, one gold and one red.

Three beams of light of different colors merged into Xiu En's body.

Xiu En breathed a sigh of relief.

Although White Ring Shuen and Gotham Shuen have lost much of their humanity, Marvel Shuen is doing quite well.

Xiu En stretched.

The sunflower nuzzled his cheek with its leaves, as if celebrating his return.

Xiu En touched his belly and smiled.

I feel hungry.

"Hmph, finally turned back into that glutton who only knows how to eat."

Ivy's voice carried a hint of relief.

Xiu En looked at his outstretched hand, then at the distant Xi Mu Realm, which was growing vigorously.

"What kind of crazy idea are you hatching now?"

Sunflower asked warily, afraid that he might come up with some other trick.

"I'm thinking."

Xiu En said with a serious expression.

"Rest is necessary, but work cannot be neglected."

"Huh?"

"Gotham's purification must continue, otherwise those lunatics will cause trouble again. The food supply to Marvel can't be cut off either; Tony's reactors haven't even had a few uses yet. And, most importantly!"

Xiu En's expression became incredibly sacred and solemn.

"Afu's triple cookies must be delivered immediately!"

The sunflower, Ivy, silently covered its flower head with its leaves.

The voice just fell.

Xiu En's body once again emitted a soft light.

Three figures with black hair and golden eyes, identical to him, emerged.

It's as if there are four Shurns standing together, ready to start a game of mahjong.

"Oh ho." x4

"Sure enough people are all here." x4

"This is going to be interesting." x4

The four Xiuens looked at each other, then spoke in unison and in perfect sync.

Although the clones only retain their connection to the original body, the three newly created projections still think identically, so they can speak in unison.

This time, each of them had a ring on their hand that was shimmering with a soft white light.

That was a replica of the Sun Ring, incorporating the seven colors of the spectrum.

"Okay, I feel much better. My mind is clear, and I'm hungry. Perfect." x4

"Let's start assigning tasks." x4

"The Marvel Cinematic Universe's buffet journey isn't over yet; we'll continue to follow up with new Tony elements and S.H.I.E.L.D. specialties." x4

"The sun over Gotham can't be extinguished; those criminals get itchy if they don't get a day in the sun." x4

"As for the most important task, it's the arduous mission of defeating the heartless capitalist Bruce and demanding three times the amount in compensation for emotional distress." x4

Suddenly, all four Xiu'en fell silent.

The original body and the two Xiu En focused their attention on one of them, who had been rubbing his hands together ever since the projection appeared.

He knew his task was to collect cookies the moment he was projected onto the screen, and he couldn't wait any longer.

Shuen, who was being watched with rapt attention, straightened his back and accepted this sacred mission with a look of pride on his face.

"Then it's settled."

The original Xiu En clapped his hands.

He stayed where he was, found the most comfortable patch of grass, lay down, and decided to sunbathe first.

The sunflower on my shoulder also unfurled its leaves and began the purest form of photosynthesis.

I'm going to work.

Gotham Sun, with an expression that said "another day of nuclear peace," vanished into the sky as a golden light.

"I went socializing."

Marvel's Shuen also transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the void.

Only one remained, and the one with the clearest purpose: the foodie Xiu En.

After watching his two other versions of himself disappear, he wore an expression as if he were about to face the final battle.

He reached out and slashed open a golden portal that smelled of Afu brand cleaning products and afternoon tea snacks.

On the other side of the door is the gate to Wayne Manor in the DC universe.

His mission has begun.

Half an hour later.

The satisfied foodie clone of Hugh was finally ushered out of Wayne Manor's kitchen under Alfred's helpless yet doting gaze.

His pockets were stuffed full.

He even stole a small jar of coffee beans that Afu had just ground.

He patted his seemingly bottomless trench coat, his face radiating a blissful glow of abundance.

"Come on, Little Flower."

He spoke to the sunflower on his shoulder.

"We're alright now, let's go visit the orphanage and sort things out."

Sunflower Ivy disdainfully fanned away the overwhelming aroma of cookies with her leaves, but still agreed.

A golden light flashed.

Hugh appeared at the Martha Wayne Memorial Home.

He was about to go downstairs to say hello to Ivy, the other sunflower who was playing games with the children.

However, at that moment, a golden beam of light that he knew all too well descended from the sky!

That beam of light carried an aura of divine authority!

The beam of light was aimed at none other than the man who was shirtless, using his terrifying muscles, which were as thick as if they had been cast in bronze, to help the workers carry the last batch of building materials.

Joestar, the self-proclaimed High Priest of the Cult of the Sun!

"A compatible soul has been detected."

A grand, majestic, and sacred thought resounded directly in Joestar's mind!

"Josta. You, with your heart turned to the light, your will as strong as iron, and your soul as pure as gold, are worthy to be my companion on earth."

At the center of that pillar of light, a pure gold ring burning with the flames of the sun spun and floated in front of Joestar.

"Put me on."

That grand idea extended an invitation.

"You will gain the authority to walk above the great sun. You will become the earthly sun, punishing darkness and spreading light!"

That golden ring exuded endless allure.

What it promises is the ultimate dream that Joestar pursued throughout his life.

Xiu En, who was peeking over the garden, almost spat out the biscuit in his mouth.

"what?"

He exclaimed to Ivy on his shoulder through the mental link.

"Aren't these the messages in bottles I threw out before?! How did they end up in my own house?!"

"You deserve it."

Ivy's voice was full of schadenfreude.

"Who told you not to include a clause prohibiting internal poaching when you designed the system? Now look what's happened, your High Priest is going to do."

on the ground.

Joestar, who was carrying steel bars, was stunned by this sudden miracle.

The children and workers around them all stopped what they were doing and watched this incredible scene with awe and curiosity.

Joestar stared at the golden ring radiating boundless power before him, his face turning incredibly serious, even furious!

He put down the steel bar he was holding.

Then he took a step forward and knelt down on one knee in front of the ring that represented infinite power.

But what he knelt on was not the ring.

Rather, it was the true sun in his heart.

"I am very grateful for your recognition."

Joestar's voice was filled with a certain devotion!

"Your power is so great, your words so majestic! You are without a doubt a god worthy of universal reverence!"

He first showed the other party the highest respect.

Then, he raised his head, his eyes burning with a fanatical flame, staring directly at the golden ring, each word spoken with a powerful and resounding tone!

"But I refuse!"

The gold ring seemed to pause for a moment because of this unexpected answer.

"reason?"

That grand idea was tinged with a sense of bewilderment.

"reason?"

Joestar laughed.

His smile was full of pride.

He stood up from the ground.

He pointed to his chest, to his heart that was beating for the one true God, and roared at the sky!

"Because my body! My heart! My soul! Everything I am! Has long been, completely and utterly, dedicated to that one and only Lord of the Sun!!!"

"My life was saved by my Lord!"

"My strength is a gift from my Lord!"

"My sole purpose in existence is to serve as his humblest servant, spreading his glory to every corner of this world!"

"So, I'm very sorry!"

Joestar bowed to the ring.

"In this world, there is nothing but my Lord who is worthy of my loyalty!"

Xiu En was dumbfounded.

The sunflower stretched out its leaves and patted his face.

"Congratulations, he is very loyal."

Her voice sounded like she was trying to suppress a laugh.
