#355 - Monsters attack, Yang Le turns into light (disordered)

"I wonder if these explosives will be enough to kill him." The Sportsmaster lowered his binoculars, the dust hindering his vision, making it impossible to see anything useful.

"Even if they don't kill him, it doesn't matter." Deathstroke reloaded a spare magazine. "This much explosive should be enough to bring out that thing underneath the gymnasium. It's been locked up for so long, it's bound to be fierce. That should keep him busy for a while. We should leave; the Justice League might arrive soon."

"Right." The Sportsmaster put away his binoculars and followed Deathstroke away from the scene.

...

Pushing aside the steel and concrete, Yang Le stood up from the collapsed building as if nothing had happened. This level of explosion couldn't possibly destroy Crystal Man. Due to the special nature of Crystal Man's body structure, Yang Le didn't even feel any pain.

Unfortunately, Deathstroke and the Sportsmaster got away, and half of Lex High School in Blue Valley was destroyed. The students of Blue Valley will have to suspend their studies. I wonder if Lex will pay to rebuild the school.

The sound of the building collapsing attracted many nearby residents. Such a big commotion would keep anyone from sleeping, so many of the bolder ones arrived at the scene to see what was happening.

Even in the real universe, people gather to watch gunfights. In the DC universe, it's common for ordinary people to come and watch explosions.

Among the adults watching the scene, there were probably many parents of students. After seeing their children's school collapse, one can only imagine what they were thinking.

Yang Le walked out of the rubble and summoned his beat-up car, preparing to contact the Justice League. Now that he was officially part of the team, he had to notify his superiors about such a big event.

As the old saying goes, when a building collapses, the rich will take care of it. This matter should be left to Batman to worry about.

Taking the communicator from his beat-up car, Yang Le was about to contact the Justice League when the ground began to shake, as if an earthquake had struck.

But Yang Le didn't think so, because the rubble he had just emerged from was the source of the shaking. Under the gaze of the crowd, a huge figure stood up from the ruins.

"A monster!"

"Run!"

"Quick! Quick! Go to Metropolis and get Superman!"

At the first sight of the huge figure, the crowd panicked. This was entirely because the true face of the shadow was too terrifying.

In the moonlight, Yang Le saw a tall, chimera-like monster. The left half of its upper body was a scarlet Tyrannosaurus Rex from ancient times, while the right half was a twisted structure combining humans and plants. Its lower body was composed of two unknown minerals.

The creature's appearance was enough to make even Yang Le, upon seeing it for the first time, feel a bit unnerved, let alone the ordinary people. This intertwined and mixed form of animal, plant, and mineral was like an indescribable ancient god.

"Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man." A figure interwoven with gold and red lightning appeared beside Yang Le, it was Flash, Barry Allen.

"Wally gave me a call saying you might be in trouble here. Is this your new form? Wally said on the phone that you turned into a birdman. If it weren't for the obvious symbol on your chest, I wouldn't have dared to talk to you."

This proves that Flash is not only fast with his legs, but also with his mouth. In Yang Le's mind, Barry's talkativeness was on par with Spider-Man.

"Okay, let's get down to business. This guy's name is Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man, and he's a very troublesome fellow. His ability is that he can turn into anything from the animal, vegetable, or mineral kingdoms. He can not only transform into one of them individually, but he can also mix them together like he is now."

Barry scratched his head and continued, "But I remember this guy disappeared for a while. Why would he suddenly appear in Blue Valley?"

Actually, Yang Le recognized this super weirdo even without Barry's explanation, thanks to one of Yang Le's favorite DC animations in his previous life, *Batman: The Brave and the Bold*, also known as *The Blue Beetle Adventures*. One episode featured this guy as the villain.

Such a distinctive character naturally piqued Yang Le's curiosity. After some searching, Yang Le had a preliminary understanding of this guy, whose real name was Sven, but was not Sven-like at all.

Okay, that Chinese pun was indeed terrible. Yang Le could only silently suppress it in his heart to prevent Flash from making fun of him. There was no doubt that many of the Justice League's heavyweights knew more than two languages. Yang Le wouldn't doubt whether Flash could understand his puns.

"Freedom!" Sven's mouth emitted a mixed roar, the distorted sound was just like his body. This showed that the other party might not have much reason at this time.

Yang Le made this guess based on Sven's human eye, which was as scarlet as a Tyrannosaurus Rex's eye. After roaring to the sky, Sven lowered his head and immediately locked his gaze on Flash, who was standing on the front line with Yang Le.

Flash also felt the gaze from the ancient predator. After glancing at Yang Le out of the corner of his eye, he said, "Okay, in front of meat and ore, even Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man will choose meat."

"I'll deal with him, Flash." Yang Le stopped the eager Barry. "You're responsible for evacuating the crowd. After all, your speed is best suited for that."

After hearing what Yang Le said, for a moment, Barry thought he was standing next to Batman. Even Batman always liked to arrange for him to evacuate the crowd. There was nothing he could do, who asked him to run fast?

"I haven't seen you be any slower than me." Barry muttered in a low voice. He had seen Yang Le's speed before, it was even a bit faster than his own. But now he was being asked to evacuate the crowd.

Although he muttered, Barry still honestly went to evacuate the crowd. After all, he only had speed, but Yang Le didn't only have speed. He still knew how to assess the situation.

Barry turned into a streak of light and disappeared without a trace, but Sven still rushed towards Yang Le's direction regardless. The desire to destroy in his mind made him unable to stop. He just wanted to tear everything he saw to pieces.

In the process of running, Sven's height continued to increase. By the time he was close to Yang Le, he was nearly thirty meters tall.

"Fighting monsters really requires Ultraman."

Faced with the approaching threat, Yang Le unhurriedly slapped the Omnitrix on his chest. Actually, Yang Le could have used brainwave control to transform like before, but for the alien hero he was about to transform into, the ritual of manual transformation was something Yang Le absolutely couldn't give up.

A dazzling white light flashed, causing Sven to stop his charge and close his eyes. When he reopened his eyes, a tall, red and white giant was looking down at him.
