My name is Shen You, 5,300 years old, unmarried. I am an intern at the Science and Technology Bureau of the Land of Light and never work overtime. I always take a plasma bath before bed, never letting fatigue and stress carry over to the next day. The Silver Crusaders say I'm very normal.
Yes, Shen You is a transmigrator, a seemingly ordinary young Ultraman in the Land of Light, only over five thousand years old.
Of course, it wasn't always this way. At first, he was just an ordinary student in China. One day, he closed his eyes, opened them, and his whole life changed.
He transmigrated.
But that rebirth was quite lucky. Compared to the catastrophic starts of many web novel protagonists, his was a definite European emperor start. He landed directly in the renowned Land of Light, born as an Ultraman, a race at the pinnacle of the universe, a race god-like in fantasy.
When Shen You transmigrated and landed, he couldn't help but exclaim, "I've never had such a wonderful start." If it weren't for the fact that Ultramen are weak to milk, he might have popped open some champagne.
As the saying goes, "The end of the universe is being a civil servant." Being born into the ultimate civil servant team of the universe, Shen You thought he had secured a lifelong iron rice bowl and would comfortably live forever in the Land of Light.
He graduated from the Ultraman Academy with top honors and interned at the Science and Technology Bureau of the Land of Light, aiming for a permanent position. Despite having the chance to join the elite Space Guard, he chose the Science and Technology Bureau instead.
It wasn't that he was more interested in science than in honing his own skills. It was because joining the Space Guard meant risking his life on the front lines. Even the big shots with protagonist halos in TV shows have several near-death experiences. Shen You, though an excellent graduate, would just be a background character in an Ultraman TV series. Without a protagonist's halo, who knows when a mission might claim his life?
Longevity is the greatest advantage of the Ultraman race. Since he became a long-lived species, he naturally wanted to maximize this advantage. His goal was to train and research black technology in peace, occasionally taking on simple tasks on nearby planets to gain experience and then emerge when fully leveled.
Everything should have gone according to plan, but fate played a big joke on him. He transmigrated again.
This time it was a lab accident. Known for their perpetual need to court death, the new experimental bracelet developed by the blue-skinned senior scientist Hikari at the Science and Technology Bureau was supposed to allow Ultramen to freely travel through space.
The bracelet failed, the lab exploded, and an unlucky intern Ultraman was sucked into the vortex along with the bracelet, emerging dazed in the DC universe.
What kind of place is the DC universe? A place where gods walk, and beings capable of destroying planets with a punch are not uncommon. There are many destroyers who can annihilate countless worlds in the multiverse.
Just look at the staple superheroes on Earth, like Superman, whose power can defy logic.
Shen You is just an ordinary young Ultraman.
Even among Ultramen, individual power levels can vary greatly. The elite members of the Space Guard are like high school students compared to academic paper-collecting scholars. Top-tier Ultramen can casually destroy planets, but Shen You doesn't have that capability yet.
As their blue-skinned director often says, "We are just scientists; we don't have that kind of power."
Shen You disguised himself as a human, blending in quietly. Though he could transform into any appearance, he chose his pre-transmigration look, adjusted slightly to be a bit more handsome.
Whether it was luck or not, he still had the bracelet Hikari produced.
Who is Hikari? The chief scientist of the Land of Light, the ultimate source of 90% of Ultraman black technology. His hand-crafted world-destroying equipment is ubiquitous. You may not trust Hikari's security, but you can't doubt his cheat-like inventions.
Ultraman technology is based on the energy known as "light." This light is both a physical energy and something more, falling somewhere between material and ideal, leaning slightly towards the latter. Hikari incorporated this idealistic technology into the bracelet, allowing it to charge using the "light" in a large area, like borrowing someone's Wi-Fi hotspot.
Unfortunately, Shen You landed in the DC world, and at a time before the Justice League formed.
In this period, crime rates are skyrocketing, and it seems everyone is vying for the championship of decay. Given the current state of the world, even if Tiga himself came, he might just throw up his hands and say, "It's hopeless, I'm out."
But that's not what they taught in the Land of Light's schools. Shen You remembered his teachers saying, "Where there is no light, we become the light."
So for Shen You, the bracelet was like a built-in cheat system. Anything that generates positive emotions like joy or gratitude would feedback as experience points. Or he could gain similar results by defeating strong sources of darkness and evil.
In other words, he could level up by defeating monsters, with stronger monsters giving more experience.
Yesterday, he saw on the news a giant starfish descending from the sky. The footage showed the giant alien beast and an unknown organization engaging it in combat.
Shen You's long-dormant comic book memories were triggered.
That thing... isn't it Starro? Starro, the iconic DC villain, a giant starfish-shaped interstellar monster, was the first enemy the Justice League ever faced. In the movie "The Suicide Squad," Starro's origin and abilities were toned down to fit the protagonists' power levels, making it weaker than in the comics. The movie version was eventually brought down by a horde of rats.
The original Starro is stronger, but still not overwhelming. Its main threat lies in its mind-controlling facehugger parasites, while its direct combat ability is limited.
In any version, Starro posed no significant threat to Shen You now. It would probably only take one Spacium Beam.
That giant moving thing on the news was practically a starfish-shaped walking experience package! And Shen You knew that if not dealt with quickly, the consequences of Starro's facehuggers spreading would be dire.
But that didn't matter because he would take action.
So, there was the scene from yesterday.
The giant of light descended from the sky, obliterating the giant starfish with a single blow.
Yes, it was the iconic Ultraman move, the Spacium Beam.
The Spacium Beam is a mandatory course in the Academy's practical training. Shen You had specialized in it, and it was far more challenging than it looks on TV. It took him a hundred years to master it fluently.
A hundred years might sound exaggerated, but to a long-lived species, time is perceived differently. Shen You is still very young in the Land of Light, possibly just a student from a human perspective.
The official statement is still pending, but public opinion has exploded.
"Mysterious Giant Defeats Giant Beast."
"Is it a god? Or an alien?"
"It's definitely an alien!"
An excited young man in a leather jacket said to the camera.
"My house is nearby. I saw it with my own eyes! You can't imagine; there's nothing like this on Earth!"
"Alien invasion, the end of the world is near!"
Another more excited person grabbed the reporter's microphone, squeezing into the frame: "I've been saying, I've been warning you! This world is beyond saving, even God can't stand it anymore, so He's come Himself! This world, along with its greed and sin, will soon be wiped out like the flood in the Bible."
"Children in Gotham City are calling the giant 'Ultraman.'"
Ultraman, or Ultraman in Japanese, literally means Superman, similar to the still-unrevealed red-caped alien in this world.
This series of reactions brought visible benefits to Shen You.
The bracelet's energy level showed the most significant increase since his transmigration, and there was even a surprise.
"Energy reserve increased, new module unlocked, searching for the Science and Technology Bureau headquarters. Searching..."
When this prompt appeared, Shen You held his breath, hoping it would cross the multiverse and help him find his organization.
Unfortunately, the final result was, "Search failed, unable to locate the Science and Technology Bureau headquarters."
Shen You was a bit disappointed but not surprised.
Then the bracelet continued, "Technology Bureau Level 3 and below technical data unlocked."
Shen You: "!"
This was a pleasant surprise. Outsiders might find it hard to imagine the level of crazy technology that the top laboratory in the Land of Light, led by their blue-skinned director, constantly tinkered with.
For instance, a cannon equivalent to the Ultraman Belial's dimension-shattering bomb, capable of destroying a universe in one shot.
Or the ultimate life solidification technology mentioned by Zoffy in the original Ultraman finale, allowing the creation and storage of "life," effectively resurrecting the dead, and more outrageous than the eyes of certain ninja clans.
Of course, these high-end technologies are only accessible to top-level personnel. Shen You quickly reviewed his current tech list and found something relatively basic, easy to recreate, and practical for him.
The Spacium Energy Cannon.
Similar to the Spacium Beam guns designed by Earth's XIO defense team in the TV series, it couldn't compare to a genuine Ultraman Spacium Beam but shared the same principles and properties.
It's black tech for humans but not difficult for the Science and Technology Bureau of the Land of Light. With complete blueprints and instructions, it was easier for Shen
You to understand than basic addition and subtraction in primary school.
The energy reserve of the bracelet could support the creation of three such Spacium Energy Cannons.
Without hesitation, he assembled three Spacium Energy Cannons in one go. Unlike Earth's conventional assembly line or complex and precise manual operations, he just had to activate the bracelet and let the materials automatically bond and shape according to specific energy frequencies.
To hide his energy consumption from the world, Shen You also assembled a small concealed energy gathering device.
With these weapons hidden, he felt a bit more secure.
The only downside was that the assembly process consumed a significant portion of the bracelet's energy.
In today's news, Starro's incident was still the main topic.
"The mysterious giant has become the hottest topic in Gotham City. Witnesses say he eliminated the giant starfish-like beast with a single blow, displaying powers beyond human comprehension."
After completing the assembly, he put the cannon on in the private laboratory in his basement. Looking at its smooth lines and the gleaming metallic luster of the gun body, he felt more and more satisfied with his masterpiece.
After nightfall, Shen You was dressed in all black, including combat uniform and helmet, with almost no distinctive features. If anything, his image was probably closer to Snake Eyes in the special forces movie.
Regardless of whether he was Batman or not, it was still a matter of concern that there was a dangerous kidnapping addict hanging around outside his house. After finally talking things over with the gangs in the community and reaching an agreement, Shen You didn't like the new variables in the community environment.
When Shen You was in the Kingdom of Light, he took the elective course of Criminal Investigation. In one of his classes, he was lucky enough to hear the famous Taro from the Space Guard invited by the school to give a lecture. Oh, no, it was Senior Seven.
Different from the criminal investigation of the earthlings, the criminal investigation and tracking training of the Ultra Clan relies mainly on the eyes in addition to logical thinking ability.
The trained eyes of the Ultraman family can emit light waves of various spectra, and they also have functions such as long-range vision, perspective, and the ability to see through camouflage. They can even scan all kinds of traces left by actions many days ago from any scene, allowing them to "see" the course of the crime from the scene.
Shen You is not a professional investigator, but he was lucky enough to get full marks in this elective course, so he is quite confident in his eyes. If he goes to the scene and takes a look, he will probably find traces that ordinary people cannot find.
The original plan was to go to the address where Mr. Grimm mentioned his child was kidnapped, but he didn't expect that when he passed by the top of a street, he unconsciously glanced down, and with the help of his superhuman vision, he happened to catch a glimpse of a black vehicle parked in the shadows in a remote corner.
An all-black metal chariot with a strange shape, a long structure, and a jet propulsion engine at the tail.
This is definitely not a car that a normal person would drive on the street.
Batmobile?
Shen You stopped on the roof and looked at the chariot below from afar.
The overall design and structure are still somewhat different from the handsome sci-fi Batmobiles in Shen You's memory, but it already has the prototype of the future Batmobile.
A blue light flashed in his eyes, and the vehicle quickly approached in his field of vision. The penetrating rays emitted from his eyes went straight through the heavy metal body of the car and fed back the situation inside the car to his eyes.
Sure enough, he saw at a glance the legendary Dark Knight, the mysterious messenger of revenge, the greatest detective in the DC world, the embodiment of all criminals' fear
sitting in his Batmobile and eating a box lunch.
