Chapter 40: Alignment
In the original plot, Lars Gul-El had already been killed by Knell at this point in time, and the League of Assassins was succeeded by Damian's mother, Talia.
And in the changed timeline, Damian saved Lars' life, and he also has the capital to lead the remnants of the Assassin Alliance to continue to make trouble on Earth, as one of the important apostles of the Three Palaces Demon, how could he not participate in such an important event as releasing the Three Palaces Demon Seal?
Almost immediately, he received a message from the Demon Heir sent to the world by the Three Palaces Demon, asking him to cooperate with the Three Palaces Demon Heir's actions and gather elite assassins to raid the Young Titan base.
Damian left behind a well-hidden spy in the League of Assassins, and planted countless Trojan horses in the system, and soon became aware of the Assassin League's movements and learned of his grandfather's evil plans.
"Did you come here to reveal to us the secret evil plans of your grandfather, Lars El Gul?" Dick Grayson will be skeptical: "Why are you helping us?" ”
Damian was stunned for a moment, and said unexpectedly: "Isn't this nonsense?" How could a person who loves the earth so much tolerate a demon king descending on the earth and wreaking havoc? If I don't remind you, if my evil grandfather's plan succeeds and the Three Palaces Demon Body comes, let alone you, not even any superhero in the Justice League can stop it, not even Superman! After playing the earth, I won't play anymore, of course, I want to strangle this plan in the cradle! Do you think I have such a narrow vision as you turtles who only know how to guard the one-third of an acre of land in front of your home? I care about the safety of the whole world, and when you played with the Gotham Rascals, I was heartbroken for the sake of this earth! ”
Dick then remembered that the young man in front of him had invested a lot of real money in environmental protection and charity, and although his way of acting was quite deviant, it seemed that he really loved the earth as he said.
Recalling the words of the boy last night, "I will never allow any vulgar demon to defile this starry night sky...... Dick felt a little relieved in his heart, feeling that after all, he was the son of Batman, and he could inherit some of the noble qualities of that great man.
"Besides, my grandfather and I had a falling out a long time ago, and he ran away with a lot of money, and he wanted me to die immediately!"
Damian went on to explain: "His three views are seriously at odds with mine, and I really don't agree with his ruling philosophy of destroying the world and purifying the world. It seems to me too impractical to kill the vast majority of those who refuse to accept enslavement, and then use the power of terror to subdue the survivors. ”
The black-haired boy affirmed his position, showing that although he had a lower bottom line and acted a little more unscrupulously, he still stood on the side of the human camp and fought to protect the earth, and the atmosphere in the conference room eased a lot.
"Really, since you're here to help us, why didn't you make it clear in the first place?"
The Beastie Kid turned back into a human form, crossed his arms and muttered unhappily, "It's a bomb in the city again, and it's a threat to kill the parents of the blue beetle, acting like a super bully......"
Damian sneered: "This is because I want to take the lead in the conversation, but I don't want to put up with you pretending in front of me because I am a little younger, and I think you are smarter than me, you have more experience than me, and you want to teach me some life experience!" Just because you half-grown children, if you want to teach me a lesson, you must be mentally prepared to be taught by me! ”
As he spoke, the black-haired boy glanced at Dick Grayson defiantly, and the meaning expressed between his eyebrows was obvious: "Accept it or not!" Don't accept and practice again? ”
Dick was caught a glimpse of an evil fire rising in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat him, he really wanted to jump up and teach this stinky brother a good lesson!
The Ronai family had already identified themselves and made their intentions clear, and the other members of the Young Titan were much less hostile to him, and it was impossible for Dick to teach his brother a lesson because of the battle of will.
What's more, Damian's parents who are equipped with a bomb switch and threaten to kill the blue beetle are not empty words, they are simply exhausted, and all possibilities for the young Titan team to do it to him are extinguished.
Suppressing his anger, Dick calmed down, although he didn't like this younger brother very much, he couldn't impulsively destroy the relationship between the two, after all, he was the eldest brother, and he should be tolerant.
What's more, Damian has a bad personality, but his original intentions are good, and he can't always be kind to others, but he has always treated him with malice.
"Uh, okay......" Dick sighed, "I'll admit you're very good, I won't underestimate you anymore, it's all right?" ”
"It's not enough to just admit that I'm good."
The black-haired young man pursed his lips and shook his head dissatisfied, "The ideal situation is that you will regard me as a wise leader and obediently obey my orders, so that it will be easy to thwart the plans of my grandfather and the Three Palace Demons......"
The young Titans were almost stunned by the stinky imp who was about to be dragged to the sky in front of them, they had seen arrogant people, but they had never seen such arrogant guys!
"Of course, it's not realistic to achieve the ideal state overnight, after all, we have only known each other for less than twenty-four hours, and you are not enough to fully understand my strength."
Without waiting for the young titans to blow up their hair, Damian was the first to speak: "So, I can leave you with an impression that I am super powerful, and such a result is barely acceptable, at least so that you can value my words, instead of simply treating them as children's willful words." ”
"Did I mention to you that you're actually a super stinky fart?"
The rest of the Young Titans could bear it, only the Beast Kid pouted angrily.
The black-haired boy once again showed a look of confusion and recalled: "I vaguely remember that many people said that I spoke super nicely, like a spring breeze. ”
"The crisis is coming, so don't dwell on what you have and don't have."
After answering the Beast Boy's question, Damian said, "The spy report I received from the Assassin League is also very vague, I only know that my grandfather intends to launch a surprise attack on you, and I don't know if the Three Palaces Demon who is hiding behind the scenes has any other actions. I can only see the moves, protect the key people who unlock the Three Palaces Demon, and I can't let my grandfather succeed easily. ”
As he spoke, he looked at the hooded black-haired girl: "Miss Rachel Ross, I will be solely responsible for your safety in the future, I hope you can trust me." ”
Raven shook his head slightly, and said in a low mood: "Maybe I'm really an ominous person, no one can stop the Three Palace Demons, Azaras once tried his best to protect me with the power of the whole world, but it was destroyed by the hands of the Three Palace Demons, and only those of us can't resist my terrifying father at all." ”
