The First Redeeming Church sent a message that the billions of Catholics on Earth regarded it as the "salvation" of God's messenger met with the "transcendent" who had saved the world several times to discuss the disposition of the psionic pirate mask.

"The grassland is endless, you don't have to worry about destroying anything, and there are no cameras.

If anything happens, it's simply the best place to fight. ”

Aquaman shook his head, and he faintly felt bad from the other party's choice of the place to meet.

"Maybe he just really wanted to ask for the mask just in case?"

The Flash shrunk his head and whispered a possibility.

But the others were clearly not as optimistic as he was, especially Batman, who had never believed in anyone, and he knocked on the table.

"The mask must never be handed over to him under any circumstances."

He knew that the mask had been sent back to the paradise island of the Diana clan by David, and as an Amazonian who had guarded the Apocalypse Star Mother Box for countless years, he was more at ease that the mask was placed there than the 'redemption' that suddenly appeared.

The First Redeeming Church, apart from 'redemption', is a Catholic sect funded by some plutocracy, and there is no power to protect the mask.

"I've found some clues about the pastor's name Hightower, who talked about his experience in a sermon about his experience on the meat grinder, and some of the details, combined with his age, are mostly about World War II."

Steel-boned eyebrows.

"Give me some more time, maybe I'll be able to find out where he came from."

A priest who fought in World War II.

David knew that the last time they had discussed, there was nothing to dig into 'salvation', and his life was easily traced, as evidenced by his neighbors, teachers, and classmates, that he was just an ordinary man with a heart toward God before joining the First Redemption Church.

"It was the mysterious 'Hirota' who found real gold in a pile of gravel, and turned Jarrod into a messenger of God's 'salvation', and this man who could not find any past was full of suspicions."

"The 'Redemption' appointment is tomorrow morning, is it too late?"

Hal Jordan coughed and asked.

Before, he didn't really care about the issue of 'redemption', he had always been a character who didn't worry about tomorrow's things that didn't happen yet, but 'redemption' showed a tendency that was not only likely to shake the world.

An inexplicable appointment, a special mask to make any religious fanatic think crazy.

"There was no Internet ...... at the time of World War II"

Steelbone's face was embarrassed.

To be honest, he had little confidence that in just one day, with a few vague clues, he could sift through the vast world of online information to find out Heitawt's true identity, not to mention that Hitaward's identity may not be recorded in the online world.

"It's okay."

David slowly got up.

"No matter who he is or what his purpose is, he will always do it with the help of the hand of 'redemption'.

In the end, it comes back to strength. ”

He wanted to see how far the power of 'salvation' could grow as his fame spread around the world.

Clark and the others knew that tomorrow if there was no accident, there might be a battle between the two, and no one would be able to help him in that battle, and tomorrow's battle might be a battle between the two strongest humans.

……

In the quiet of the night, the starlight shines into the church through a large fan of glass.

'Redemption' Jarod knelt in front of the pulpit in front of the pulpit, wearing a blue battle robe, and his tall body carved out of marble knelt in front of the pulpit, praying with a little confusion between his eyebrows and whispering devotion.

"I know that taking on the belief of too many people can put a lot of pressure on your heart."

An old, gentle voice floated as Hitanow, dressed in a dressing gown, slowly walked out of the brightly lit bedroom at the back of the church, carrying a cup of hot tea.

"Would you like some tea?

Tea calms the nerves. ”

"No, thank you, Father."

The tone of salvation is harsh.

"Not only the expectations of others, but also the faith in the Lord that the congregation has placed in me, my strength has been raised to an unimaginable level.

I don't even dare to speak out loud now for fear of shattering the houses and people in front of me.

This is more dangerous than the last time Yasir. ”

Last time, Yasir couldn't control the sudden surge of power, and let a military base disappear from this world with hundreds of lives.

And this time not only did his strength skyrocket, but compared to the increased strength, the energy he originally possessed in his body was simply insignificant, just like a rabbit suddenly having the power of an elephant.

"I'm sorry about Yasir.

We didn't want to. ”

Hightower took a leisurely sip of tea.

"But you have to be patient and have faith to control your power.

Child, you and I have relied on each other and have gone through the hardest part of the road.

Now that the dawn is suddenly a revelation from the Lord, are we going to be so weak that we ignore the Lord's help? ”

"We will have the opportunity to spread the glory of the Lord throughout the world by taking that mask.

Live up to the Lord's gaze on us, and the Lord is attentive to us. ”

Hearing this, 'Redemption' straightened up, and a trace of excitement gradually appeared on his face.

These powers are the gift of the Lord, and he came to earth with the will of the Lord, and he was, as Father Hightower said, the messenger chosen by the Lord to preach the gospel.

"What are these and the tests of the faith that Abraham and Isaac were subjected to by the Lord."

Hideva shook her head and chuckled.

Hearing this, a trace of pious fanaticism welled up in the eyes of 'Salvation', as if he was a defender who could be martyred at any time.

This is a biblical allusion to the fact that God tested Abraham's faith in him by taking himself and his wife's only son, Isaac, to a mountain where he and his wife's only son had traveled for three days and three nights, and to kill him with his own hands and sacrifice him.

When the young Isaac went to the mountain with his father, who was not carrying a sheep but was about to sacrifice to God, he saw his father raise his dagger and realized what was about to happen, but he did not resist in the slightest, and bowed his head in obedience and piety.

The loyalty of the two was put to the test, and when the tragedy was about to happen, the angel appeared to stop them, and the eyes of the Lord have been watching over them ever since.

"I have been involved in the most brutal war of mankind.

When my comrades and I were ordered to press forward on a German front line, we threw down tens of thousands of corpses and never broke through that line. ”

By the window, Hei Tuohua held black tea in one hand and wiped his fingers across the cold windowsill with the other, looking at the frosty ground where the moonlight poured down.

It was as if he had returned to that cruel and cold night, when more than 20,000 German soldiers launched a late-night raid with guns like demons, their defenses were about to collapse at the touch of a button, and everyone was going to die at the muzzle of the gun.

"Under the flames from the muzzle of the gun, in the trench, I fell to my knees, trembling and weeping bitterly, praying to God that I would survive and return to my hometown to see my parents again.

When I was desperate...... The Lord cast his gaze without hesitation, and a miracle happened! ”

A blue glow bloomed between his praying palms, brilliant and sacred, and then the light shone across the battlefield.

"Under the protection of the Lord, I survived the battle of the meat grinder.

Since then, I have vowed to spread the brightness of the Lord to every corner of the world! ”

His eyes shone blue, and in the reflection of the glass, he resembled an angel of power under God's seat, exuding divine majesty.

"Until the last moment of my death, I passed His test with unwavering faith in the Lord.

Tomorrow may be the Lord's test for you, Jarrod. ”

Hightower took a sip of tea and turned her gaze.

"You don't have to go through the same trials as Abraham, and you're luckier than I am, and you don't have to face death."

Redemption trembled and clenched his fists, as if he had seen a corner of heaven open to him, and his voice was deep and powerful.

"Father, I see, I'll get that mask back."

"You are the energy, I am the engine, we are the two people chosen by the Lord to change the world, no matter how many thorns, bumps and trials lie ahead, I will adhere to the faith of the Lord!"

"Very well, tomorrow morning after your departure.

As always, I will lead the congregation in prayer for you. ”

Hitanow's eyes shone brighter, as if echoing, and Jarrod's body also emitted a powerful blue glow, like a blue sun with infinite energy.

"—Help you to accomplish the Lord's will!"

……

In the heat, the cool wind blows through the grass half a man high, and from time to time you can see hyenas, cheetahs, lions and elephants passing by on the grassland.

Redemption Hug Arm suspended in the air, his eyes closed, the powerful life magnetic field emitted from his body, even the most ferocious predator on the grassland couldn't help but shudder and retreat, not far away, dozens of meters away, an elephant herd raised its nose and let out a frightened neigh, and suddenly retreated backwards.

Herds of elephants, which have never encountered natural predators in the African savannah, are expected to flee from the wind.

"You're late."

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked up into the sky.

"It's been half an hour since our agreed time."

The surface of his body emitted a rich purple light, slowly descending from the sky, Davy was wearing Shazam's purple-like battle suit, and the golden thunder and lightning symbol on his chest set off him like a majestic god, and he carried his hands behind his back.

"It's good that I'm here.

Did I say yes to your appointment? ”

A few hundred meters away, Clarke, Diana, and Batman Cyborg landed on the side, looking solemn and waiting for the battle.

"Beyonder left half an hour late to give me time, and I still haven't found any information about Hituohua."

Cyborg was a little annoyed and frustrated.

Both Batman and he have a hunch that the mysterious Father Hytawith might be the crux of the matter.

"Perhaps his identity information has long been secretly sealed by his country in the form of written materials."

Batman frowned, suggesting a possible way to comfort Cyborg.

They rummaged for clues about what Hideva had revealed during his sermon, and he had said that on the battlefield, the Lord's mercy had favored him like never before, and he had survived and made him realize that he had a mission.

What can be called the Lord's unprecedented mercy, but I am afraid that something very unusual has happened to Hitastar on the battlefield, and perhaps his country has blocked the information.

"Now it's just David's.

I don't know if we can help for a while. ”

Looking at the two people facing each other nearly half a mile away, Clark clenched his fists, the last time redemption appeared, the speed he showed was better than him, I don't know how far the power of redemption has climbed now, and whether David can deal with it.

"I hope that guy isn't too good." Hal Jordan didn't know what to say.

Have any other Lampmen encountered anything like him?

Not to mention dealing with interstellar affairs, he doesn't even have the ability to solve the problems on the planet itself, and relies on his team members to maintain the world.

"I think as long as that guy doesn't outpace me, I should be able to help the Beyonder in a fight."

The Flash twisted his wrist.

"Where's the mask of the man who attacked the Met?

Beyond. ”

Retracting the gaze that swept the few members of the Justice League in the distance, Redemption didn't care about putting down his arms and hands, as if he was about to prepare for a pounce, and his voice was cold.

"You have to hand it over, it's dangerous."

"It's dangerous or not, don't worry.

I'm curious why you're asking for it. ”

David didn't seem to see him in a posture of attacking, and his face was calm.

"Do you really seal it as if it were created by the devil, or do you use its power to accomplish your ulterior motives and those of the church behind you?"

"'Redemption' has become different from before."

In the distance, seeing Redemption's aggressive expression through the mecha's screen, Batman's brow immediately tightened.

The previous meeting, and some images of Jarrod, could tell the hesitation and kindness contained in the young man's eyebrows, and now he was like an instigated Templar, with nothing but a purpose to be achieved.

Swish!

In the face of the undisguised suspicion in David's words, a huge blue flame of light ignited on Redemption's body, and he exuded majestic energy, like a supervolcano on the verge of eruption, the scorching heat instantly scorched the earth, and the energy ripples spread away, setting off gusts of wind.

"Hand it over, don't force me to do it.

I can't control the power I have now! ”

A low roar of warning echoed far away in the grasslands.

"What do you mean.

Are you afraid that you will accidentally kill me? ”

The blades of grass turned to ashes, and the high temperature on his face was hundreds of degrees, and the energy fluctuations that made people palpitate, David just raised his eyebrows as if he was paved with a fresh breeze.

"He emits more energy than any human nuclear reactor."

A piercing warning came from the system, and Cyborg looked at the astronomical number after the scan in front of him with a shocked face.

"Even far beyond!"

"Stand back, we have to stand back!"

"What do you mean?" Hal Jordan in mid-air lowered his arms calmly.

"We don't even have the ability to stand here and watch."

Their teammates and people are about to fight, and if they are not ready to come forward to help, forget it, and retreat?

"If you think you can survive a nuclear explosion, you can ignore that."

Steelbone's deep warning voice dragged Arthur backwards.

"Ahem...... Ahem, I think I can support Beyonder remotely.

Come on, Barry. ”

Seeing that the two people in front of him didn't say a few words and then the sword rattling, the big battle was about to break out, Green Lantern raised his hand to condense a round platform to lift the Flash, and the two and the others retreated to the back together.

Only three remained.

Clark, Batman in Fenrir armor, and Diana with the Aegis on her back, the three stared into the distance.

David and Redemption needless to say, from each other's attitudes, you can feel the other's unsparing resoluteness, one does not intend to hand over the mask at all, the other is bound to get the mask, the situation is going to change, I am afraid that only one person will use strength to overwhelm the other.

Thundered!

"As I thought, you have a different plan on the other side."

The two confronted each other remotely, their eyes flashed with electric fire, David's face was full of coldness, the sky seemed to be moved by his emotions, the weather suddenly changed, dark clouds rolled, lightning and thunder.

The dazzling divine power thunder and lightning on his slender and powerful body were born around, and the wind blew low across the grassland.

"I'm not interested in what you have planned, but if you worry about the mask and get into trouble in the future, I'll deal with you here!"

The reason why he agreed to meet Redemption here is that David has no reason to back down, and second, if Redemption really harbors evil intentions, in order to get the mask, he may 'visit' the Justice League headquarters, which is very close to the Met.

And 'Redemption' is not a guy with ordinary powers, and if the two fight, the entire city and the nearby town will suffer.

"Beyonder, this is your choice?

You are disobeying the will of the Lord! ”

Redemption roared, the energy on his body exploded, like a dazzling sun rising on the ground, and the explosive power smashed the ground within a radius of hundreds of meters, his body was like a comet and the air rubbed flames, and he smashed his fist towards David!
