was absolutely worth it.

Chapter 87 was absolutely worth it.

Metropolis is indeed a city plagued by disasters, and it seems unable to escape its curse in any multiverse.

On Monday, masked robbers in dump trucks carrying rocket launchers robbed a bank. On Wednesday, a supervillain who could either shoot lasers or lift a building with his bare hands engaged in an unrestricted fight with Superman in the street. On Friday, aliens invaded in spaceships pulling cannons. On Saturday, houses were rebuilt, and on Sunday, renovations were done. Before the paint was even dry, another house exploded again next week.

At this moment, the citizens of Metropolis are watching Superman's daily battle with the alien machine.

boom!

An alien cannonball exploded in mid-air, and Superman, who was hit head-on by the shell, spun and fell, crashing into the already ravaged ground and creating another deep crater.

Of course, even though it looks like a hard fall, at most it only deals "HP-1", which is basically no damage compared to Superman's endless health bar.

He shook his head, preparing to get up, when suddenly he heard a child by the roadside pointing to the sky and shouting, "Look! It's a big bird!"

Everyone looked in the direction the child was pointing.

A blurry shadow appeared, initially just a huge dot flying in from the other side of the sky, but its size rapidly increased in everyone's view.

"No, it looks like an airplane," someone said.

"Well, no matter what, it definitely can't be Superman," said a soldier with a gun nearby. "Because he's taking a nap here."

Superman, who had just crawled out of the rubble: "."

A massive afterimage descended enveloped in intense light, vaguely revealing its enormous red and silver body. Trailing a path of light and afterimages, it delivered a flying kick that struck the alien machine's head.

With a deafening explosion, Gontras crashed to the ground. As the light faded, the red-silver giant landed in the stance of a flying kick, sliding a considerable distance with the force of the impact in a classic pose that would send road maintenance workers' blood pressure soaring.

Shen You slowly stood up from the dust, turned his head, and locked his gaze on the alien machine.

A height of 110 meters.

His normal size is around fifty meters, but Ultraman's size is never fixed. He can be bigger when he wants to be bigger, and smaller than a toothpick when he wants to be smaller. The only difference is energy consumption.

Around fifty meters is the standard size for most Ultraman characters, achieving a perfect balance between combat power and energy consumption. Under normal circumstances, even when facing an opponent larger than themselves, there's no need to force themselves to grow even larger to match the opponent, as increased energy consumption makes it inefficient.

However, this applies to situations where the character suddenly gains power.

who cares.

Labor and management can decide how big they want it to be.

Moreover, this is not just a matter of visual appearance. Thanks to Lao Bu's rocket, Shen You's overall attributes have exploded, and he himself doesn't even know exactly how much.

However, it seems he will soon discover it for himself.

He pushed off with his foot, flashing forward in a streak of light. Gontras, who had just been kicked to the ground and had just sprang to his feet using his back thrusters, was met with a magnificent, sonic-speed giant fist that slammed into his face.

With a dull, metallic clang, the robot staggered back two steps, its steel feet leaving deep craters in the ground.

A barrage of hooks and uppercuts followed by a heavy elbow strike. The golden light effect transformed into a transparent wave that exploded from the point where Shen You's elbow struck, denting Gontras's face and sending shattered parts flying onto the roof of a building.

Shen You glided forward, nimbly dodging the muzzle of Gontras's left arm cannon, and grabbed the mechanical arm. Tesla's right arm then transformed into a blade and swept towards him, but Shen You also caught it firmly in his palm.

Shen You clamped his arms around the robot's arms, channeling his inner energy at full power, intending to use his divine strength to forcibly sever the two arms, when suddenly he felt a mechanism on the robot's chest click open, revealing two rows of hidden cannon barrels.

He reacted with lightning speed, instantly releasing his grip and leaping into the air in a fraction of a second. Two neat rows of laser cannons fired almost touching his feet, missing their target and flying into the distance.

Guntras maintained his lock, and various weapons popped out from his chest, hands, arms, and shoulders. A barrage of firepower, large and small, relentlessly poured into Shen You in mid-air.

Shen You dashed left and right, flashing in all directions, while his palms fired a barrage of light projectiles, dodging and striking simultaneously. A vast expanse of sky was instantly covered by various colored lights and continuous bursts of fire, creating a scene resembling an apocalyptic world—a breathtaking, awe-inspiring, and exquisitely beautiful spectacle that left everyone in awe.

Shen You huddled together and performed a series of supersonic somersaults, landing on Gontras's left flank. He made an obtuse-angle turn and attempted to accelerate towards Gontras. However, the robot's AI reacted extremely quickly, with a particle cannon on its left shoulder already locked on and ready to fire, its muzzle crackling with electric snakes.

However, just before it was able to fire, the energy suddenly dissipated, the flame went out, and the entire barrel was instantly frozen!

Seeing its movement, Kara accelerated and flew over, freezing the shoulder cannon into ice with a breath of freezing air. Then, she punched forward with both fists, using her body as a projectile. Red and blue afterimages pierced through, and with a bang, she blasted the frozen giant cannon into ice shards all over the sky.

But Gontras reacted extremely quickly, adjusting its strategy in the blink of an eye. A hidden steel tentacle shot out from its back, opening powerful metal pincers, and hurtled towards Shen You who was charging towards it.

However, it didn't work!

It was Superman. With lightning speed, he flew away, creating a sonic boom behind him. The metal pincer was only halfway out when he caught it in his arms.

Superman roared "Hah!" and an incredible force burst forth from his small body, tearing the thick metal tentacle off by the roots, sparks crackling and popping from the severed end.

In the blink of an eye, Shen You had already lunged in front of it. With its countermeasures repeatedly thwarted, Gontras had no more chances to respond and could only watch helplessly as the golden, heavy fist hurtled toward its face.

A lightning-fast piercing, a deafening bombardment. A silver-white rear fist slammed into the robot's face, exiting through the back of its head, accompanied by a burst of golden light.

The terrifying divine power, combined with the already imposing size and the dazzling golden light effects, creates a visual impact that is almost indescribable.

All the citizens were unable to help but look up at this battle of the gods, feeling their worldview from the first half of their lives shatter.

One particularly daring photojournalist pushed his way through the crowd and started snapping photos in a flurry.

Jimmy Olsen of the Daily Planet, Superman's photographer and best friend.

He captured this battle of the century with perfect lighting and angles, while also feeling the soul-stirring terror brought by this power far beyond human capabilities up close.

For a fleeting moment, such a thought did cross his mind.

"Do I really need to risk being crushed into mincemeat by them at any moment to take photos here?"

This question bothered Jimmy for about three seconds.

Three seconds later, he raised the camera again.

"Ha, what am I thinking? Of course it's absolutely worth it."

It should be released this Friday if all goes as planned, and there will definitely be a lot of new chapters scheduled for release then.

I also hope you guys will definitely place your first orders to support me! Thank you!
