Chapter 161: 'Redemption' Appointment with the Transcendent (4k6)

"What happened?"

Steel-boned eyelids jumped.

I've never seen a transcendent like this, and although he has always been cold and decisive, it's the first time that he has been so ruthless.

The attack range directly covers several miles and is razed to the ground!

Bruce Wayne was silent, he vaguely guessed something.

can affect the minds of the people of the entire metropolis, but I am afraid that they also have the ability to spy on the mind, and for superheroes, their real identity is a very taboo thing.

Boom!

The bottom of the pit is more than ten meters deep.

The psionic pirate was knocked to his knees by the terrifying force, blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, and the Medusa mask emitted psychic energy, condensing the barrier and filling the cracks.

Gravity is a force related to time and space, which cannot be resisted by ordinary force fields or energy shields, but the same wonderful psychic power is not among them.

It's just that he resisted the majestic gravity that fell from the sky with all his might, so that he could no longer be distracted and continue to be invisible.

"Aren't you dead yet?"

David stared at the figure of the psionic pirate exposed to the sunlight and waved his hand to drop the thunderbolt.

Click!

"I'm willing to surrender ......"

The psionic pirate's psychic power barrier exploded like glass on the edge of shattering.

He hastily regrouped the barrier, wanting to surrender in exchange for a chance to live.

But David's face was cold and unmoved, and the gravity as heavy as a mountain still exerted itself.

It is no exaggeration to say that he rarely has such a strong killing intent towards people.

"You think you know so many things you shouldn't know, and I'm going to let you live?"

Click!

"No ......"

The heart's psychic shield cracked in the blink of an eye, and the psionic pirate listened to the sound of the barrier shattering, as if hearing a dying magic sound, his heart trembled, and the fear of death overwhelmed him like a tidal wave, suffocating for a while.

"Batman, Cyborg, do you want to watch the Beyonder violently kill me, do you Justice League have the privilege of being above the law!"

No one in the world has the right to kill untried criminals who are willing to surrender.

He expects Batman and Cyborg to stop Davy.

The young cyborg struggled silently.

The Justice League does not have the power to try prisoners, so it stands to reason that he should stop Davy.

But thinking that when David killed Kalibuck at that time, he didn't stop it, but was excited that the Transcendent would help him avenge his father, and he was not qualified to stop the Transcendent.

Batman frowned and didn't move.

"You are too dangerous to let you live in the world, maybe today's events will repeat themselves, and many people will be in danger because of it."

It started with an entire city, and millions of people were plunged into madness and chaos by heartbreak, and more people died today than on the day Broadiac struck.

The Coalition has no means to restrain this guy.

"I know who you are, Dai ......"

The psionic pirate had fierce eyes like a beast cornered, and yelled to reveal David's identity, but it was too late.

Boom!

The overwhelming force pressed him down, instantly crushing him into a puddle of flesh.

The tragic death made Cyborg look away.

"Hmm, what's going on?"

Clark woke up in mid-air and was startled to see what seemed to have been dug out of the ground below.

"David? I was controlled. ”

His face changed, and he suddenly realized that something might have happened.

"Don't worry, you didn't hurt anyone."

Seeing that Clarke, whose face was full of worry, knew what he was thinking, he reached out and took a look, and the face worn by the previous psionic pirate on the ground flew in front of him, and David looked twice.

The mask that used the ability before would glow every time he used it, and it could be intact in the hypergravity field, so this mask should be an artifact with special abilities, and it might be able to enter his collection.

"Put me on and I'll give you everything you want.

Eternal life, wealth, power, I will help you rule this world. ”

The mask shimmered, emitting bursts of demagogic thoughts, like a devil who led people to fall.

"It's a pity ......"

Taking off the mask in mid-air, David frowned.

"I don't need something conscious in my collection."

It's too dangerous to put this at home, what if your parents find out and are lured by the psychic protection of the Breaking Light Ring, you should throw it into the treasure house of Paradise Island and let the Amazons guard it, just like the previous mother box.

"You'll take care of the rest."

The culprit who caused millions of people in the metropolis to lose their minds has been ambushed, and David turned and flew away.

He had done the most difficult and had no interest in dealing with the rest of the chickens and dogs.

"This is what the Beyonder did?"

The Flash, who wanted to know what was going on, came quickly and saw David leave.

"He solved the crisis again, but threw this mess at us."

Steel Bones felt a slight headache as they looked at the neighborhoods that had disappeared within a radius of several miles, how could they explain this to the metropolitan city government, at least more than 100,000 people had lost their homes and property.

"I think they'll be grateful."

The Flash scratched his head.

Either way, the Transcendents saved Metropolis, and without him, maybe what would have happened, and even Superman would have been controlled.

Compared to millions, if not more, who died in the chaos, they should have accepted this outcome.

"Hopefully."

Batman said, obviously he was not optimistic about this result, and he looked at another figure in the sky.

"Are you feeling better? Superman. ”

Looking at the corpse at the bottom of the crater, Clark came back to his senses: "I'm fine. ”

He was just a little scared, his identity was known by the criminal, and his parents were exposed, and he was controlled again, but fortunately no one was injured.

"Thanks to David, otherwise...... Today will probably be the day I regret the most. ”

He covered his forehead with a complicated expression.

After David left, Clark and Batman, as well as the rest of the alliance who rushed back after hearing the news, worked together to resolve the riots in the city and prevent more people from getting hurt.

When the citizens of the metropolis recovered, they saw a devastated and devastated city.

Everyone was in a state of rejoicing for the rest of their lives, and it felt like a horrible nightmare to think back to what they had done when they lost their minds.

A series of family, family, economic, legal and other problems born during the riots plagued the next millions of citizens, but the Justice League could not help, and had to leave it to the city government and citizens to solve on their own.

The citizens of Metropolis have never hated a man as much as they do today, and the shadow left by the psionic pirates has even caught up with Brainac, who once turned Metropolis into a city in a bottle, causing even more damage and impact than him.

At the same time, they are grateful to the transcendent who saved them.

However, there were also some citizens who lost their homes and shops, and became homeless and homeless with their wives and children, and were dissatisfied with the transcendents, but this dissatisfaction did not last long.

When a piece of gold the size of a house fell from the sky and smashed into the square at the entrance of the city hall, with the words written on it for post-disaster repair and compensation work, the dissatisfaction of those citizens immediately disappeared and they shut up, and they were all generously compensated, far more than the losses they had had, and the red light began to sing the praises of the transcendent!

The transcendents who had no regard for the lives of the citizens before in their mouths immediately became decisive and benevolent heroes.

"David, how did you do that?"

Back home, Clark asked incredulously.

"Where did you get the money?

There's no way Bruce, the richest man in the league, could come up with a piece of gold. ”

That huge piece of gold is converted into tens of billions of dollars, almost equal to the accumulation of more than two hundred years and generations of the Wayne family, and when Batman saw that fantastic piece of gold, he was silent for a while.

"If you knew more about mineralogy, you wouldn't ask that question."

Under the stars at night, on the second floor of the warehouse, David leaned on the side with his arms crossed.

"More than 99 percent of the gold resources are in the earth's crust, and that piece of gold is extracted from the mantle and squeezed and kneaded.

If you want, I'll give you a block ten times bigger tomorrow. ”

In fact, as the king of a hyper-technological kingdom like Atlantis, he can mobilize more resources and wealth than the political head of any country on Earth, but he is too lazy to go to Atlantis, so he draws a piece of gold from the center of the earth.

"This time, it's not like your style of doing things." Clark was stunned for a moment, then asked.

I actually pay attention to some discordant voices on the Internet.

"That piece of gold is nothing worth mentioning to me."

David looked in the direction of the house.

"But it can make it a little less noisy against me.

Mom and Dad often follow the comments about us online, and sometimes being famous is not a good thing. ”

As parents, Jonathan and Martha feel somewhat uncomfortable when they see the comments blaming him.

Well, Clark scratched his head, knowing why his brother did it.

……

"Sure enough, that church released the news about 'salvation.'"

In the Hall of the Justice League, Steelbone waved his hand solemnly and threw dozens of different news from all over the country.

"I thought it would be sooner.

Half a month has passed since the chaos of the Metropolis to release this month-old news, and the other party seems to have no confidence to grab the headlines with our transcendent. ”

Hal Jordan sat in a chair with arms crossed, teasing David on his face.

A long time ago, Batman told the members who were not present at the time about the possible crisis of 'redemption'.

The Flash has a strange look on his face and is also suspicious of this.

The events in the nation of Asir had taken place long before the Black Adam incident, but it was not until long after the Metropolitan Riots that the organization called the First Redeeming Church made it public.

"The mask you sent back to Paradise Island, my mother has seen it, and she can't find out the origin of that mask, it should have nothing to do with the gods, it's just a simple powerful magic item, with a long history, I don't know who created it."

At the meeting, Diana whispered to David.

"The bewitching power on it was created and cannot be expelled."

David nodded in understanding.

It's a pity that the mask that amplifies the power of the mind has the ability to bewitch, and it is extremely strong, and I heard Clark say that the psionic pirate wants to create a new world, but I am afraid that his brain is affected by the mask, so he will have such a plan that he does not know what to do.

Although the mask is only a magical item, it should not be underestimated, and the DC world has never lacked magicians who are more powerful than the gods, such as the wizard who created the power of Shazam.

"The source of magic is even older and more powerful than the gods, and there was magic even before the birth of the multiverse, and the gods were born because of magic."

"Although it was released late, the news about 'redemption' occupied the headlines of various countries as soon as it was released."

Steelbone's eyes were suspicious.

"There's no doubt that there's a strong push behind this."

"It's no surprise that the First Redeem Church has long been funded by many wealthy people around the world."

Knowing that the power of capital can even affect Batman within the government.

The materials he used to create Fenrir's armor were originally the top secret materials of the military of the most powerful country on the planet, and not a single gram could be leaked.

"Now almost the whole world knows about him."

Arthur looked at the projected blue figure, his voice solemn.

"There are many devout Catholics among them, how much strength will that give him?"

Everyone present except for David had a thoughtful look on their faces, and Clark was the same.

After enduring Brainiac, Black Adam, and the psionic pirates, deep down he wasn't strong enough to deal with all the planet's dangers.

"The power of one person is small, but when the strength of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people gathers together, I am afraid that we will not be able to resist."

Clark looked at David worriedly.

Although he usually doesn't do anything, David is now almost the first choice of the alliance to deal with a huge crisis, and if 'Redemption' becomes a criminal who endangers the world, David will bear the brunt.

"He hasn't continued to do anything, why is he so nervous?"

David, who was specially called to the Hall of Justice, wondered.

I already discussed this matter last time, but this time it was just because of a move by the other party that an all-staff meeting was deliberately held, whether there was an overreaction.

He still believes that the ability of 'redemption' cannot be without limits, at most it is a DC-enhanced version of 'fighting swords'.

"In fact, their next move may have already been revealed."

Batman and Cyborg, who had been in charge of processing the Alliance's information and acting as a brain function, looked at each other, fell silent, and looked at David.

"Do you have that mask of the psionic pirates?"

"What do you mean?"

Davy raised an eyebrow.

"This is a statement just published on the website of the First Redeeming Church."

With a wave of his hand, a website message is projected in the middle of the round table.

"They claim that the psionic pirate's mask is a demon-made weapon that tempts people to fall and bring disaster, and they ask the Alliance to hand it over to the Church for safekeeping."

Everyone in the room looked at Davy because they knew he had taken the mask.

His gaze swept over the two lines, and David was a little surprised.

"Masks do tempt people to fall and bring disaster.

I've done experiments, and if it's not someone with strong enough mental power, the mask will not be ignored, and maybe only people with the potential to bring disaster will be tempted by it. ”

He looked at the crowd who seemed a little worried about the matter and raised an eyebrow.

"You mean I want to give them the mask?"

The Devil's Weapon?

He still believed in the eyesight of Zeus's former lover Hippolyta, that the mask was just a magical item and had nothing to do with gods and demons, and that the church's statement was not an excuse for him to hand over the mask.

After all, the opposite of God is the devil, and the others are extensions that happen to be blinded.

"No!"

Batman shook his head vigorously to veto.

"Never."

Clark and the others looked at Batman with some confusion and a somewhat fierce reaction.

"What do you think of a mask that strengthens the power of the mind and distorts the minds of others, and a church that has always tried to absorb its congregation?" He tapped his knuckles on the table.

Clark's faces changed.

For the churches that absorb their congregation, that mask is a godsend.

"With that mask, it will take a few years at the latest for the First Redeemer Church to dominate the world in faith."

"The First Redeeming Church and the Justice League are talking and making a plea, and what a striking piece of news.

But they have just finished high-profile in the world, but they have not grasped this news hot spot. ”

Cyborg, who knows the most about the Internet, thinks this is an extremely abnormal point, and in the words of the Internet, he could use this statement to rub off on the popularity of their Justice League, but he didn't do it.

Don't want too many people to know?

"If nothing else, the Church of the Redemption may be sending a message soon."

I didn't care much about it, but I didn't expect it to involve myself in the end, David thought about it and said with a smile.

The First Redeeming Church would not be so stupid as to think that a casual statement on its official website would make him hand over the mask of dangerous power, and it would inevitably be followed by substantive action.

Just as he finished speaking.

Bite!

A new message alert sounded in the hall, and everyone's faces were strange.

The steel bone homeopathic projection that has been responsible for handling the official affairs of the alliance.

The new official email is signed by the First Redeeming Church.

"Beyonder, 'Redemption' asks you to meet in a steppe near the land of Yasir, Africa."

Cyborg swallowed and looked nervously at David along with the rest of the room.
