Chapter 221: Shut Up! I’m Clearly The God Of Light!
Hold!
Really hold!
Ian felt that he was completely stuffed with the power of Belial and Ultron!
Belial and All-Father Ultron.
The power of both of them surpassed the scope of Single Universe Level, so, naturally, Ian couldn’t “borrow” too much from his Extra Dimension to apply to himself.
However, even so, a portion of the power was still high-quality power. As fuel for the End Phase Body, it was still enough to elevate Ian to an extraordinary height.
In fact.
If it weren’t for the new skills brought by the Cosmic Tapeworm being powerful enough, giving Ian a feeling of some Ultimate Skills, he wouldn’t have been able to bear the load of this power.
This reserve food, which he originally couldn’t digest and planned to use to expand his Extra Dimension, or perhaps digest later, now had a way to be applied in advance.
As everyone knows, the larger the Planet Eater’s physique, the more energy it proves to have, and indeed it is powerful. Now, Ian’s physique has reached a size where he can rub a planet like a toy in his hand.
It’s not that he can’t become larger, but this is already Ian’s limit. No matter how powerful the skill is, the base Panel will still determine the effect of that skill.
“Since you see this divine being, why do you not bow?”
Stealing lines is just basic operation for Ian.
In the Dark Dimension.
Ian, transformed into the Star Eater, looked down at Darkseid and Sangong Mo, who were like tiny specks below. His huge eyes flashed with hunger and “wisdom.”
“???????”
“!!!!!”
And Darkseid and Sangong Mo, these two evil titans who were originally about to fight to the death, now had to temporarily face this even more bizarre and incomprehensible planet protector?
If swallowing a planet into one’s so-called belly counts as protection.
“So this is Earth’s trump card.”
Darkseid seemed to realize something.
In the endless Dark Dimension.
Sangong Mo and Darkseid looked up at the towering “Planet Eater” avatar emanating a devouring aura, and both felt unprecedented pressure within their hearts.
It was not only the opponent’s suffocatingly large physique, but also the fact that the entire Dark Dimension was continuously suppressing and drawing out their power.
It was as if the space itself was a living, greedy predator.
“No… who is this guy?!” Sangong Mo’s giant demonic face showed an expression of almost “dumbfoundedness” for the first time. His mind, filled with chaos and evil knowledge, raced, trying to search for records matching the present existence from countless ancient memories and dimensional information.
However, he found nothing.
This situation was exceedingly bizarre.
One must know that in the Multiverse, the more powerful a life form is, the harder it is for its existence traces to be erased, and it will more or less leave fragments of information in the river of time, dimensional barriers, or certain ancient prophecies. Just like him and Darkseid, even if they hadn’t met, they would at least know each other’s names and general backgrounds.
But now, there was an exception.
This guy in front of him, exuding a devouring aura and able to wield such pure Dark Dimension power, was a completely unfamiliar character to him!
In the past, he had not heard the slightest bit about him.
It was as if he had popped out of a rock crevice out of nowhere!
This completely defied common sense!
“Heh.”
Compared to Sangong Mo’s surprise and uncertainty, Darkseid appeared much more silent.
His rocky face showed little emotion, only in the depths of his crimson eyes, a cold and rational light flickered, as if engaged in some kind of thought.
Seeing this scene.
Two of Sangong Mo’s six eyeballs rolled.
He glanced at Darkseid beside him.
The thought of this guy sneak-attacking him with Omega Rays without any warning, causing him to almost die before even starting, ignited a surge of anger.
Demons.
Are all super males.
A species with an extremely petty heart.
Although only a partial avatar of his true power had descended now, and even if it were lost, he would only be severely injured, not annihilated, he really couldn’t swallow this insult!
His demonic nature made him hardly think about the “bigger picture.” Taking advantage of Darkseid’s apparent focus on the giant figure, Sangong Mo secretly gathered his power. One of his six arms quietly lifted, and dark red magic power, containing soul corrosion, like a poisonous snake, silently pierced towards Darkseid’s back!
The attack was very stealthy.
Powerful and insidious.
However, before his sneak attack could touch Darkseid’s Armor, it was firmly blocked by a palm covered in black gauntlets—Darkseid didn’t even turn his head.
It was as if he had eyes in the back of his head.
“Hmph.” Darkseid let out a disdainful snort, finally turned his head, and cast a glance at Sangong Mo with his crimson eyes, his tone filled with undisguised mockery.
“Do you know why your demons can never achieve anything great? This is why. You can never distinguish primary from secondary, are dominated by chaotic Instincts, and your short-sightedness is the greatest flaw of your race.”
Darkseid unceremoniously belittled the other. His meaning was clear: now that they were both in this bizarre Dark Dimension, facing a common unknown and powerful “enemy,” they should temporarily unite to find a way out or defeat their opponent. But Sangong Mo’s actions were still internal conflict and sneak attacks.
From the perspective of strategic choice, it could be said to be utterly foolish.
“You! Darkseid! Who do you think you are! You think you’re worthy of talking about uniting with me?! I…” Sangong Mo’s face turned ashen with anger at Darkseid’s words.
“Shut up.” Darkseid was too lazy to listen to his nonsense and interrupted him directly, shifting his gaze back to the mountain-like Ian. He didn’t care what Sangong Mo thought.
In his eyes.
The value of this Demon God was far less important than understanding the origins of this unknown being before him.
“Let me see, what are you.”
Darkseid, with his own diminutive body, looked up at the terrifyingly sized Ian avatar. He stopped talking and, in his eyes, the Omega Effect, which struck fear into countless cosmic civilizations, operated at full power once more!
This time, it was no longer a probing attack. Two Omega Rays, thicker and more solid than before, containing even more terrifying causal erasure power, like two roaring rivers of blood, tore through the space of the Dark Dimension, carrying the will to destroy everything, and fiercely blasted towards the chest of Ian’s avatar!
“Rumble~”
These rays were exceptionally powerful.
Far more powerful than he had shown before.
No wonder Old Father was beaten so badly.
Of course.
For the current Ian, he not only did not fear but was even delighted.
“A petty trick, and you dare to show off before this divine being?”
Facing this terrifying attack, capable of easily piercing stars and rewriting reality, Ian’s “Planet Eater” avatar made a move that stunned both villains.
Behold, his giant hand, seemingly made of stardust and Dark Matter, moved with a seemingly slow but lightning-fast speed, not deviating at all, and directly grabbed the two surging Omega Rays!
This was not something that could be physically grasped, but some kind of “I don’t want you to think, I want me to think” power distorted reality. Thus, the Omega Rays, which could destroy everything, as soon as they came into contact with Ian’s giant hand, seemed to lose all their ferocity and become… docile?
Like two poisonous snakes whose seven inches had been pinched!
Ian’s massive fingers, with a dexterity unbefitting his size, wrapped the two rays around his fingertips a few times like twirling noodles before stuffing them into his mouth, which seemed capable of swallowing galaxies!
“Hic~”
Not only was it delicious.
Everyone could even hear a faint “hiccup” of satisfaction.

【 Contacted and absorbed high-dimensional energy, Entropy Annihilation Lord Experience Points +18888! 】
……
A line of prompts, visible only to Ian, flashed by cheerfully.
Ian smacked his lips, seemingly savoring the taste, then looked down at the minuscule Darkseid below, his huge eyes filled with pure curiosity and… encouragement? He pointed another finger at his still-open giant mouth and spoke in a grand but slightly familiar tone to encourage him.
“Your aim needs to be accurate, shoot them into my mouth, oh no, that phrasing isn’t very elegant… anyway, just shoot them into my mouth, with all your strength!”
“Believe me, I swear, I’m about to be stuffed to death!”
Although his outward appearance was the majestic Planet Eater, symbolizing cosmic disaster, as soon as he spoke, the scent was too strong; it was still the familiar Ian Kent.
As always, his earnest vows and sincerity did not earn trust.
Darkseid: “…”
Sangong Mo: “…”
The two evil titans were speechless for a moment.
If these words were told to their minions, they wouldn’t even be able to fool them; it was like trying to fool brainless zombies, and the stable form of the other party seemed to be on the verge of collapse?
They had eyes! They could observe and think independently!
“This guy is really weird.”
Although Darkseid’s expression remained as calm as ever, his inner state was far from calm. His previous attack was not intended to be a killing blow, but rather to verify his earlier speculation. Now, the facts were laid bare: this unknown being could indeed devour his Omega Rays and even convert them into some kind of “nutrients”!
This completely subverted his understanding of the cosmic power system!
No matter how much Darkseid was unwilling to believe it, he had to accept this absurd reality. His eyes flickered a few times, and he spoke his judgment in a low and grave tone.
“He is most likely an existence outside of the Rules.”
Darkseid’s tone was very certain.
“Outside of the Rules?” Sangong Mo next to him looked at Darkseid in surprise, “You mean… he’s one of those tumors that seeped in from the Outer Universe?”
“No!”
He immediately negated himself.
“I have also encountered tumors from the Outer Universe, they are strongly rejected and suppressed by the rules of the main universe, it’s impossible for him to have such a vast physique and power in the real world that is not rejected at all!”
Although Sangong Mo was chaotic, his knowledge was not shallow. He also realized the seriousness of the problem. This guy in front of him seemed to be completely unbound by conventional cosmic rules.
“The secrets on this guy might be something both you and I need.”
After this brief and bizarre exchange, Sangong Mo temporarily suppressed his anger towards Darkseid and the thought of a sneak attack. He understood that neither he nor Darkseid alone could easily escape this bizarre Dark Dimension, let alone deal with this monster that could “eat” Omega Rays.
Villains also know how to read the situation. Although no one spoke, they had implicitly reached a fragile temporary alliance.
Without any verbal communication, Darkseid and Sangong Mo moved almost simultaneously!
Darkseid unleashed the boundless power of the Dark New Gods around him. The Omega Effect no longer attacked in the form of rays but transformed into an invisible field of rules.
He attempted to interfere with and erode Ian from the level of existence!
“Such an evil existence, such a dark dimension, if I can integrate it into my power, it will surely allow me to advance further!” Sangong Mo, meanwhile, danced with his six arms.
He invoked his Authority as a Demon God.
Dark red Chaos Magic surged like a monstrous wave, mixed with various wicked effects such as soul shrieks, reality distortions, and causal chaos, sweeping towards Ian from all directions!
The two Single Universe Level villainous titans, joining forces for the first time, launched a full-power assault on Ian Kent, who had revealed his “Star Eater” form!
Within the Dark Dimension.
The torrent of energy surged and swelled.
As if the apocalypse had arrived!
“Such crude attacks, not like me, I only want to convert you with love.”
Facing Darkseid’s formless Omega Domain, which attempted to erode existence from the level of rules, and Sangong Mo’s all-encompassing tide of Chaos Magic, containing soul corrosion and reality distortion, Ian’s “Planet Eater” avatar displayed a despair-inducing absolute defense that matched his towering physique.
He didn’t even raise his hand.
The terrifying attacks, capable of annihilating galaxies and rewriting reality, were drawn in and decomposed and absorbed by an invisible, even more profound dark power when they approached a certain range of his body, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea!

【 Absorbed Chaos Dimensional Magic Power, Entropy Annihilation Lord Experience Points +18000! 】
【 Constitution adaptability increased! Resistance to rule-based attacks slightly enhanced! 】
While Ian comfortably absorbed the experience packets “sent” by the two big shots, he even had the leisure to speak, clearly indicating that these attacks were not of much strength to him. His grand voice echoed throughout the Dark Dimension, but the content almost made the two attacking villains lose control of their energy.
Ian first turned his attention to Sangong Mo, speaking in a tone of disdain and lecturing.
“Right, didn’t someone just say I was evil, that my brain was too big, that my nerve transmission speed was a bit slow—” After explaining, Ian immediately looked at Sangong Mo.
“You’re evil! You’re dark! Your whole family is evil and dark!” This delayed rebuttal was full of emotion and righteous indignation, showing no sign of being a three-minute delayed reaction.
“???????”
Sangong Mo really felt how numb he was.
His attack faltered, and he almost suffered a backlash from his own magic power. At the same time, Ian continued to babble, as if conducting a righteous judgment.
“If you don’t have any foresight, don’t come out and embarrass yourself! Open your six eyes and look carefully! Is this darkness? Do I look evil?”
He even adjusted his face, composed of stardust and Dark Matter, making an expression he thought was very “kind and bright.”
The effect was actually terrifying.
“I clearly wield this dark power with a heart of justice!” Ian’s voice suddenly rose, with a dramatic, operatic flair, “I am the God of Light—Ian Kent!”
After all, he was of an age where he had some wit. Ian knew he couldn’t use his real name when going out, so he reversed his name, making himself seem clever and the reading of it somewhat convoluted.
“I once fell into boundless darkness, wanting to struggle but unable to free myself…”
“I walked through the void, my heart in turmoil, lost, not knowing where to go…”
“I am lonely… like a child weighing two hundred trillion tons!” Ian’s tone was expressive and full of emotion, his creative talent once again producing great artistic effect.
“What is he doing?” Sangong Mo, listening to this inexplicably mismatched “confession” and “awakening history,” felt his demonic core tremble.
Not from fear.
But pure bewilderment, fear of the unknown.
While cooperating with Darkseid, constantly changing attack methods from energy impact to rule curses, trying to find Ian’s weakness, he couldn’t help but roar angrily.
“Who the hell asked you about this?! Shut up for me!” He was completely caught off guard by all of Ian’s reactions, which is precisely why he felt uneasy.
When it came to getting angry, Sangong Mo was supremely authoritative, yet Ian completely ignored him, his mouth like a perpetual motion machine, blabbering endlessly.
He continued to narrate with deep emotion.
“Until that day… I met the light of my life! My guide!”
“I became sworn brothers with Stocking Angel!”
“It was he! With his shining stockings… uh, shining holy light! That converted me!”
“He finally made me understand that I was originally a child of light, and it was only because I was framed by scoundrels that I ended up in this boundless darkness! Yes, some very, very bad super-capitalists set a trap for me.”
“Of course, even so, it still couldn’t stop me. Now! My heart of light has awakened!” Ian’s voice became incredibly “firm” and “passionate,” as if delivering an inaugural address; “I, Ian Kent, hereby swear! From this day forward, I will use this power to protect Earth, the land that nurtured me! To protect this beautiful planet! Any evil existence that seeks to destroy its peace and tranquility will have to step over my corpse first!”
“I have a dream! I want light to shine into every corner! Let hope be rekindled in people’s hearts! Let all humans bathe in my care.”
“For… love and peace! There will be no more poverty and hunger, no more disease and worry…” Ian continued to drone on, adding various details.
Sangong Mo’s head was buzzing, and he felt his sanity being dragged across the ground. He couldn’t help but slow his attack, looking at Darkseid, who was calmly searching for a weakness beside him, and asked with a breakdown in his voice, “No! Who is he even talking to?! What the hell is this all about?!”
Darkseid: “…”
Even this Dark Lord could not maintain absolute coldness at this moment. A flicker of incomprehensible confusion flashed in his crimson eyes.
Yes.
Even with a higher-dimensional brain and higher-dimensional wisdom, Darkseid had his limits for thinking. He also didn’t know why Ian wasn’t fighting back at all and was instead giving a speech.
This wasn’t an awards ceremony!
They were in a battle!
A life-and-death struggle!
To maintain his cool image, Darkseid decided not to think about it if he couldn’t figure it out. He didn’t answer Sangong Mo and instead focused more on continuing his attack on Ian.
【 Absorbing high-dimensional rule erosion energy, Entropy Annihilation Lord Experience Points +30200! 】
【 Absorbing high-dimensional rule erosion energy, Entropy Annihilation Lord Experience Points +24000! 】
【 Absorbing chaos dimension magic power, Entropy Annihilation Lord Experience Points +18000! 】

Sangong Mo was also cooperating, but neither of them knew that their attacks were completely beneficial to Ian, and each attack was bringing Ian experience packs.
How to put it, in the end, you couldn’t entirely blame the two dark big shots for their lack of insight and inability to grasp the truth, as there had never been a life form like Ian in the DC universe before.
The more he attacked.
The more excited Ian became.
The more he wanted to raise these two people.
When had he ever encountered such a high-level gain!
“Oh! I can’t take it anymore! I’m going to die! Please stop hitting me!” During a break in his speech, Ian “fearfully” encouraged the two of them.
Afterwards.
“But even so! I will not back down! You can’t force me to hand over Earth!” These two statements, as if his left and right brains were fighting, also groundlessly created his reason for holding firm.
“…”
Sangong Mo had realized that Ian was perhaps even more cunning than himself.
Did they want Earth?
This method of distortion was truly seamless!
Clearly not a novice!
“No, just tell me, tell me, what exactly do you want to do, can you be a little more normal?” Sangong Mo not only couldn’t understand Ian’s behavior.
He even found it difficult to analyze and understand the structure of Ian’s brain.
“I want to protect Earth!”
Ian responded firmly.
“…”
Sangong Mo was rendered speechless and completely silent, only covering his ears and attacking with all his might.
“This guy definitely has a weakness.”
His body circled the sky-obscuring Ian like a ghost.
Trying to find a flaw.
Darkseid was also a ruthless person. Hearing Sangong Mo’s words, this aloof Overlord became somewhat outrageous, actually aiming for Ian’s backside as if wanting to crawl inside from there and defeat Ian from within.
“Hiss! So this is the Darkseid you are!”
Ian finally moved.
He quickly covered his backside, which was comparable to a black hole.
His tone was panicked.
But it didn’t stop him from growing another mouth to continue speaking.
“Don’t think you can threaten me with my purity… You have no idea what Earth means to me; it’s not just salvation, but hope!”
“I have a dream…”
Meanwhile, outside the Dark Dimension, on Earth in the Real World.
The defeated Superman Clark Kent was carefully helped up from the ground of the ruins by the arriving Wonder Woman and Cyborg. He clutched his still aching chest.
Golden blood still lingered on the corner of his mouth.
However.
He could no longer tend to his injuries at this moment, his gaze fixed on a section of rubble. There sat a massive television with a cracked screen and sparks sizzling from its edges.
Despite severe damage.
Its core components seemed to be working tenaciously.
Wayne Enterprises technology is truly impressive.
At this very moment, the screen clearly displayed the scene within the Dark Dimension—the main subject being the colossal “Galactus” avatar.
“So! Incarnations of evil! Tremble before me, the God of Light, Ian Kent! Repent! And then… be completely purified by the light from this heart of protection!” There was also surround sound with background music, playing Ian’s ongoing, impassioned “speech.”
“…”
At this moment, Superman seemed to realize something. He stiffened, turning his head slowly towards the dark figure that had appeared behind him silently at some unknown time.
Batman.
“…”
Bruce Wayne was still wearing his battle suit, but his faceplate was retracted, revealing a face with sharp features that, at this moment, held an expression of extreme complexity.
He looked at Superman’s gaze, filled with questions and a plea of “Please tell me it’s not what I think.”
After a few seconds of silence.
“It is what you think. All the televisions, computers, playback devices, even mp4s… on the planet have fallen. I don’t know how he managed it. He even gave free upgrades to black and white televisions in Africa that couldn’t connect to the internet and weren’t even plugged in.”
Batman’s ultimate voice-over was as profound as ever.
Tragic.
Filled with a sense of helplessness and self-blame for the approaching disaster that he could not avert. Even he had to admit that when it came to adapting to circumstances.
Ian Kent.
Was not lacking!
