Chapter 15 S

Shen You was very pleased that he had finally managed to reason with the Cross Gang.

A large group of people came in a huff and left looking disheveled and bruised. When they came out, they were all bruised and swollen, looking so pathetic and comical that they even looked a little pitiful.

Many neighbors, hearing the commotion, gathered outside to watch from a distance, gloating over the humiliation of these habitually domineering barbarians. At the same time, Shen You vaguely anticipated that another story about him, the coffee shop owner, would likely be added after today.

It doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, this is an internal brawl, a fight between their own people that turned into this mess. He, Shen, is just an honest and upright businessman, it's none of his business.

The community order was restored once again, and the neighbors could sleep peacefully at night. The bracelet's energy also maintained its slow but steady upward curve, all of which are good things.

For the next period of time, Shen You devoted most of his time to the development of the battle armor.

For the Land of Light's technology, a basic exoskeleton is as simple as assembling Lego bricks; the slightly more complex issue is energy. Just like the Iron Man armor next door, the core of all the advanced technology in the body is concentrated in the reactor in the chest that supplies power.

From the armor's output, mobility, and movement speed to its weapon power, temperature, and destructive force, the upper limits of all basic stats are determined by the power supply system.

This is also the biggest difference between the armor called "Mobile Ultraman" and ordinary exoskeletons. The name is not just because the design looks like Ultraman; its energy system is essentially based on Ultraman's light and can synthesize and release Specium energy as its strongest weapon.

Therefore, the armor is basically a smaller version of a life-sized Ultraman warrior, and it can be modified to focus on special uses such as strength, speed or infiltration according to the actual needs of the mission, which is very convenient.

Meanwhile, to assist the armor system, Shen You casually wrote a simple dedicated AI program. This was naturally a basic skill for him, an intern at the Land of Light's Science and Technology Bureau.

He named the AI ​​Pal, the same name as the fighter jet auxiliary AI written by Gaia's human form, Imu.

There's no other reason, it's just for good luck.

As is well known, the first two protagonists of the Heisei Three Heroes were both known as plane killers.

Daigo, of course, is a prime example. For him, the Flying Swallow No. 1 is basically a Tiga launcher, mainly used to facilitate his transformation after a crash. Asuka, on the other hand, is even more outrageous. His ride rarely even has a chance to crash smoothly; it usually explodes into fireworks in mid-air. Its main function, besides helping him practice his Dyna transformation speed, is probably just to make the TPC finance department's blood pressure skyrocket.

In contrast, Gaia, as Gaia, was active throughout the entire TV series while experiencing very few plane crashes, a stark contrast to his two spendthrift predecessors. His AI chauffeur, Pal, deserves immense credit for this.

All tests passed, and we finally entered the actual testing phase.

The robotic arm, remotely controlled by Pal, assembled the armor pieces onto Shen You's body. Gears meshed, wires intertwined, and the armor was assembled and combined, covering Shen You from head to toe in just a moment.

The deep blue core on its chest, which was designed in the same style as the color timer, was lit up. The helmet fell down and snapped shut with a click, and golden light shone from its eyes.

"Par, system self-check."

"In progress, please wait a moment, sir."

Once the progress bar finished loading, each part of the armor opened in turn, and after being checked and confirmed to be correct, it folded and deformed again, returning to the inside of the armor.

"Inspection progress 100%, system is functioning well."

"Great, let's go out and fly around for a bit."

"Yes, sir. Anti-radar system activated, entering stealth mode."

Like a shooting star, it shot into the sky, its armor trailing a blue flame as it flew into the heavens with two somersaults.

The armor incorporates N-metal materials, giving it the ability to hover and fly. However, the old wizard provided very little N-metal, resulting in low purity of the armor's materials. While it could fly, the speed wasn't satisfactory, so the design adopted a propulsion system similar to Iron Man's.

The combat boots are equipped with two main thrusters on the bottom, and multiple auxiliary thrusters on the waist and back for short-distance sprints and directional adjustments. The two energy output ports in the palms can be used to fire the main weapon or as thrusters for directional adjustment.

The thrusters are only for convenient acceleration and adjustment, but because of the effect of N metal, even if the propulsion power is lost, or even if the entire suit of armor loses power, it can still float and fly.

Following his trump card as a sure-kill move, he still used the most classic move: by connecting the positive and negative poles left on the wrists of his armor, he crossed his hands and instantly maximized the Specium energy and released it all at once.

It is an improved version of the Specium energy cannon that was developed earlier.

Shen You already knew how to fly, and his three thousand years of rich flying experience naturally allowed him to get started easily. However, after flying around for only a few laps, Pal soon sounded a warning in his ear.

"Sir, the bracelet is reacting."

"Um?"

His specific reaction was already displayed on the UI interface in front of him as he spoke. The bracelet's information was projected onto the helmet's built-in display.

"Anomaly in spatial fluctuations again?"

Last time, we detected the entrance to the Eternal Rock, a portal leading to a magical temple. So what's going on this time?

For a moment, he felt that the space in the DC universe was truly pitiful. Various big shots could come and go as they pleased, without even the right to refuse, forced to silently endure the humiliation.

Oh, now that I think about it, I guess I'm one of them too.

That's fine.

"Change course and mark the coordinates on my built-in monitor," Shen You said.

"No problem, sir."

The Ultra Armor changed direction in mid-air, drawing a magnificent arc of fire as it headed straight for the location of the anomaly coordinates.

After flying for a short while, he quickly found the source of the reaction in his field of vision.

In the desolate outskirts of Gotham, a long, deep crack was carved into the ground, a mark that immediately evoked memories.

This reminds me of the tracks left by the Hyuga No. 1 when its rear caught fire.

And at the end of this trail, there was indeed something that looked like an aircraft.

The white, streamlined hull, with its sharp, rounded front, resembles a sparkling diamond. The hull gradually narrows towards the rear, forming a slender oval, with slightly upturned wings, giving it a light and agile appearance.

The stern design is more sophisticated, featuring a conical nozzle and multiple propellers. The overall surface is composed of some kind of white metal, shimmering with a soft, silvery-white sheen, making it gentle and pleasing to the eye.

Neither the design nor the materials seem to be from Earth's technology.

The cockpit had been opened, and the single seat, which could only accommodate one person, was now empty.

However, what first caught Shen You's eye was the very front of the spaceship, with its incredibly conspicuous and iconic emblem that was almost impossible to ignore.

The badge has a large "S" drawn on it.
