Batman's Owl Godfather

Chapter 174 I don't care about humans tonight, I only care about you

Katum and Ares were not very familiar with each other, they had only met a few times.

And it was in the main world at that time.

It was not impossible for the old gods to understand the situation of other universes.

But if it is said that Ares of DCEU would come to reminisce with Katum, it is absolutely impossible.

Ares's purpose is not that simple.

At this time, Diana's condition was very wrong, Bruce felt pity for her and helped her sit down.

"It's not my fault."

Ares shrugged, "She started it first, I was just defending myself."

"You can only tell yourself this excuse!"

Bruce did not take it lightly because of Ares's approachable appearance now.

He held Diana's hand tightly, and as long as the situation was a little wrong, he would immediately activate the speed force and run away.

"What do you want to do by coming to see Diana?" Bruce asked.

"Is it not okay for a brother to see his sister?" Ares asked back, "Don't you know that Diana and I are half-sisters?"

"Ah?"

This exclamation was not made by Bruce, but by Diana who was still in a trance just now.

"It seems that your mother didn't tell you anything."

Ares sighed, and he said softly, "You are the child born by Zeus and the Queen of Amazon. Zeus left you in the world as a weapon against me."

He looked at the remaining hilt in Diana's hand and the flying ashes on the ground.

"This sword is not a weapon for killing gods at all, but a rubbish counterfeit made by the Amazons.

"Only a god can really kill another god, Diana, you are the godslayer."

After Ares said this, Diana couldn't accept it for a while.

The sudden life experience made her fall into a brief confusion about her existence.

Even Katum was a little emotional.

"Bruce, you really lost miserably this time. "

The owl said, "You thought Diana was the same as you, but she has both parents, and you are the only one who is an orphan forever."

"You won't die if you say less." Bruce reminded with gritted teeth.

He didn't have time to care about Katum, and whispered to comfort Diana, hoping that she could remember the purpose of this trip.

"We'll talk about parents later!"

Bruce encouraged Diana, "This time you left the island, you didn't go out to find your own life experience, right?"

It's for Ares!

Don't forget your goal just because of your parents!

"Ares... Yes! It's for Ares!"

Diana's eyes lit up again, and she remembered her mission.

Ares picked his ears and listened to the two people discussing how to kill him in front of him.

"Ares!"

Diana looked at him firmly and read out the declaration before the battle, "You bewitched humans and provoked war..."

"I didn't provoke the war. "

Ares suddenly said, "It was humans who started it. I came to you this time for this matter."

He spoke slowly and calmly.

"I am not your enemy, Diana. I am the only one who truly understands you and real humans.

"Like you now, I once had hope for humans - creatures created by my father.

"But the result disappointed me. They are hard to change by nature. They are always fragile, cruel, selfish, and can do the most terrible things."

He spoke with great sincerity, as if he was really admonishing his naive sister who was not experienced in the world as a brother.

"I did add fuel to the flames behind the scenes and pushed humans to destroy themselves.

"But not long ago, a human memory appeared in my mind. From his mind, I learned some very interesting things.

"The destruction of humans does not require me to push behind the scenes. "

His hand swept across the table, and the table suddenly rippled like water, presenting the appearance of the ocean.

Two rows of model-like fleets were confronting each other on the sea, and the solemn atmosphere was visible to the naked eye.

Ares whispered: "World War I, World War II, Cold War... Do you know this scene, Bruce?"

Bruce looked at the national flags and warship models hung by the two opposing sides and recognized the picture Ares showed.

"Cuban Missile Crisis." He said.

"Yes, the closest event to human destruction."

Ares smiled with satisfaction and took back the picture displayed on the table.

"Although this crisis ended with both sides giving in, what about next time? What about the next time?

"I don't have to do anything anymore, humans will destroy themselves."

Ares saw a satisfying future from Lupin's memory.

Facts have proved that his point of view is correct. Humans are such irredeemable creatures, and their future has long been doomed.

The God of War is worthy of being the God of Truth!

"So, I stopped all the actions I had planned, and just wanted to quietly watch this society and watch humans fall into the endless abyss."

Ares finally told the purpose of his trip, "But, you two are determined to kill me, which gives me a headache.

"Diana is my sister, and you--"

He looked at Bruce, "I feel that it is not so easy to completely eliminate you."

Ares always has a premonition.

If Bruce and Katum cannot be completely eliminated in an instant, there will be endless troubles later.

Why bother yourself?

"So I came here to reconcile with you."

Ares waved his hand, and an ancient Greek-style bronze helmet appeared in front of Bruce.

"Bruce, it's not difficult for me to guess the purpose of your coming here. I guess my memory has created a monster that you can't solve.

"You need a way to deal with God."

"Don't you just want power? It doesn't matter, I'll give it to you!"

Ares said sincerely, "This helmet, as long as you wear it, you will have ten times the power of the God of War, which is more than enough to defeat that monster!"

This--

Bruce looked at the helmet and didn't speak for a while.

Diana said anxiously in his ear: "You can't wear it, Bruce! This is all Ares's trick. He lured mankind to fall, and now he wants to do it again!"

In fact, she didn't need to persuade him like this.

Bruce didn't want to wear it.

He motioned Diana to calm down and whispered: "Don't worry, I will never wear it when I'm with you."

There is no ambiguity in these words.

Ares sighed.

"Diana, I've made it so clear, you still think humans are kind by nature?"

"Humans are kind!"

Diana said without hesitation, "Although there are some ambitious people among humans, the vast majority of humans pursue a peaceful and beautiful life!

"It is my mission to help them realize this wish!"

Finally, Ares gave up the idea of persuading Diana.

"You are stubborn."

He said, "Since you want to realize the wishes of mankind, then I will satisfy your idea!"

As soon as the voice fell, a yellow crystal suddenly appeared in Ares's hand.

"This is--"

Katum instantly recognized what it was.

The mysterious yellow crystal that appeared in "Wonder Woman 1984" can realize any wish of mankind!

Where did Ares find it?!

"Diana, don't say that your brother didn't give you a chance. "

Ares suddenly clenched his fist, and the yellow crystal was crushed into countless fragments, which fell bit by bit, and the mysterious power in it rippled between the world.

Then, they gathered towards Diana, and in just a moment, everything was settled.

"Diana, you are now a real goddess."

Ares whispered, "You can fulfill any wish of mankind and become the most beautiful symbol in the world.

"Next, you will experience for yourself how "kind" humans are!

"By the way, I will help you publicize your ability to fulfill wishes for others!

"A goddess like you is enough for the whole world to start a war for you!"

After saying these words, Ares left a series of chuckles, and his figure disappeared from the tavern out of thin air.

As he said, he had no ill intentions this time, but brought gifts to Bruce and Diana.

A helmet with ten times the power of the god of war, and the ability to fulfill wishes.

"Is Ares sick?"

Katum was dumbfounded, "He also wants to bet on how dark human nature is? He wants to win too?"

"Stop talking about this!"

Bruce quickly signaled Katum to shut up. Diana's current state was very wrong!

She held her head, her expression horrified, and her whole body trembled.

"What's wrong with you, Diana!"

Bruce was at a loss for a moment, and could only see Diana curled up helplessly.

"Voice, I heard the sound!"

Diana murmured, "So many people's voices, they are praying! Making a wish!"

She could hear countless people's voices, noisy and chaotic, constantly drilling into her ears, and the sound was getting louder and louder every second.

Diana covered her ears with her hands, but it was useless.

She could hear everything.

"Diana, look at me, look at me!"

Bruce grabbed Diana's arm, trying to stop her from trembling, but Diana was much stronger than Bruce, and after several struggles, she almost threw him out.

He could only increase his volume to try to cover the voices in Diana's mouth.

"Listen to me, Diana!"

The words, which were like a roar, finally reached Diana's ears.

She raised her head helplessly and saw Bruce's eyes full of concern.

Tears wet Diana's eyes.

"Too many people." Diana said, "I heard so many voices, the world is too big!"

"Then make it smaller." Bruce said.

"I can't do it!"

"You can do it!"

Bruce promised, "Focus on my voice and pretend it is an island. Can you see it? It's in the sea?"

Diana closed her eyes and tried to do what Bruce said.

It was difficult, countless people whispered in her ears, but she forced herself to imagine an island, in the distant waters, Diana was floating alone in the water.

"I see..."

Bruce's voice encouraged her: "Swim to it."

She imagined herself swimming to that wonderful place, leaving all the discordant sounds and scenes in the world behind.

Diana's heart slowly settled down, and the irrepressible noise began to fade away.

Her breathing began to stabilize, and she was no longer in a state of panic.

Finally, she returned to her most normal state.

"I'm much better." Diana finally calmed down, "Those voices... they are much quieter."

"That's good!"

Bruce also breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he was very nervous just now and could only think of a way to make Diana concentrate.

What did Ares do?

Let Diana become like this!

Bruce asked Katum, and the owl thought for a moment and gave an explanation.

"I guess it was Ares who transferred the power of the mysterious citrine to Diana."

He said, "This citrine is not a good thing. Although it can fulfill human wishes, it will also take away that person's most precious things, and the so-called wish fulfillment is also completed in a form that is unacceptable to humans."

Citrine's ability is very similar to the setting in the horror novel "The Monkey's Paw".

In that novel, an old man is given a monkey's paw, which grants him all his wishes.

The old man made a wish and got two hundred dollars. Then his son died that day, and the old man got a pension of two hundred dollars.

"It's a bit like an equal exchange, but you can't choose the price yourself."

Katum said, "The current Diana may have acquired this ability."

Not only that, she can also hear other people's prayers and wishes. Ares, this guy, has evil intentions and may have amplified Diana's super hearing.

Maybe not to the same extent as Superman, but for Diana, it's still a huge amount of information.

Diana didn't have a super brain to process that much information.

At this time, Diana was sweating all over her body. She felt that her clothes were in the way, so she tore them to pieces, revealing the gladiator uniform underneath.

"My head hurts."

Diana covered her head and said, "Although those voices have become quieter, they are still uncomfortable when added together."

"It's okay, don't think about anything now and rest peacefully!"

Bruce couldn't think of any good solution for the time being, so he could only keep comforting Diana.

He helped Diana get up and wanted to take her back to the room to rest. Before leaving, he picked up the God of War helmet on the table.

"Do you still want this helmet?"

Diana suddenly said, "With power, you will leave, right, to save the people in your school?"

Bruce actually didn't understand the girl's heart, but at this moment, he suddenly realized that Diana was in an extremely sensitive and irritable state.

It was like the anxiety Hermione felt when she was about to take an exam.

The answer at this time is extremely critical. If you don't pay attention, Diana's condition will develop into a worse situation.

Fortunately, after spending so long with Hermione, Bruce has some experience and knows how to deal with this situation.

He suddenly went crazy and threw his helmet to the ground, then kicked him far away.

"What a rare thing, I don't want this useless thing!"

Bruce supported Diana, shook his head and said, "Don't think about it, I don't care about humans tonight, I only care about you.

"Don't say anything else. I'll take you back and have a good rest!"

He sent Diana back to her room.

"I'll be waiting outside the door. If you need anything, just call me by name."

After a while, he closed the door and left, leaving Katum waiting outside.

"You are simply sick."

The owl cursed, "If you drop your helmet, just drop it. Why don't you kick it? It will be troublesome to pick it up."

"I'm just a stopgap."

Bruce sighed and said, "I'm also worried about Diana's situation. Why is Ares so mean? We didn't even look for him, but he came to us on his own."

Now Diana is obviously in the stage of power fusion.

When you wake up tomorrow, you will truly have the power to make your wishes come true.

"Diana is new to the world and doesn't know how to reject others."

Bruce said, "If she finds out that she can fulfill other people's wishes, I'm afraid she won't think too much about it and will just agree."

Even if it is an unreasonable wish, she will agree to it.

"It's like Ares said, Diana has become a goddess."

Katum sighed, "Especially at this moment when a war is about to break out, Diana's appearance directly becomes a weight that affects the balance.

"To put it bluntly, whoever can get Diana can directly win the war."

I can't hide it even if I want to.

That bitch Ares said he would help them promote this.

I'm afraid that on this night, the heads of all countries will receive dreams from the God of War, saying that a goddess will come to the world and can fulfill everyone's wishes.

Maybe Ares would even tell her what Diana looked like.

"Greece and Troy fought a war for ten years because of a beautiful woman named Helen."

Katum looked at Diana's room, "Now Diana's value is much greater than Helen."

At this moment, the owl thought of many terrible things.

What is the current situation in the world?

The war is about to begin!

It is not difficult to imagine that there will be many people who want to win the war or even greater benefits.

With the strange way that citrine fulfills wishes, Katum has reason to suspect that it will directly summon some super powerful beings to directly reduce the dimensionality of the battlefield and kill the war.

For example, aliens, superpowers, people from the future, robots, undersea people, etc.

This kind of thing is the most lacking in the DC universe.

"What do we do next?"

Bruce said, "Our original goal was to find a way to kill God, but now the situation is even more out of control."

The one who will suffer the most next must be Diana.

She will watch helplessly, while she is clearly trying to satisfy everyone's wishes, but the world is getting worse and worse.

Maybe in the end, Ares will jump out and say, "I won again, Diana."

"We can only take one step at a time."

Bruce shook his head, and cursed Ares countless times in his heart.

Including his parents.

"No matter what happens, we will deal with it first."

Bruce shook his head and said with a firm look, "Ares, this beast, has already found a way to die!"
