Chapter 160 ‘Redemption’ Meeting with the Beyonder (4k6)

"what happened?"

Cyborg's eyelids twitched.

I have never seen the Transcendent look like this. Although he has always been cold and decisive, this is the first time he has been so ruthless in his actions.

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

Bruce Wayne was silent, he vaguely guessed something.

It can influence the minds of people in the entire metropolis, and it may also have the ability to peer into the soul. For superheroes, their real identity is a very taboo thing.

Bang!

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

The psychic pirate was struck by the terrifying power and fell to his knees, with blood bleeding from the corners of his mouth. The Medusa mask radiated psychic energy and condensed the barrier into cracks.

Gravity is a force related to time and space. Ordinary force fields or energy shields cannot resist it, but the equally wonderful power of the mind is not among them.

He just tried his best to resist the majestic gravity falling from the sky, so that he could no longer be distracted and continue to be mentally invisible.

"Not dead yet!"

David stared at the psychic pirate figure exposed in the sun, and waved his hand to cast thunder and lightning.

Click!

"I am willing to surrender..."

The psychic pirate's psychic barrier exploded like glass on the verge of breaking.

He hurriedly gathered the barrier again, hoping to surrender in exchange for a chance to survive.

But David's face was indifferent, unmoved at all, and the gravity as heavy as a mountain continued to exert its force.

It is no exaggeration to say that he rarely has such a strong murderous intention towards others.

"You think you know so many things you shouldn't know that I will let you continue to live?"

Click, click, click!

"No……"

The psychic shield in his heart cracked in the blink of an eye, and the psychic pirate listened to the sound of the barrier shattering, as if he heard a demonic sound that urged death. His heart trembled, and the fear of death overwhelmed him like a tide, suffocating him for a while.

"Batman, Cyborg, do you want to watch the Beyonder violently kill me? Do you, the Justice League, have the privilege to be above the law?"

No one in the world is qualified to kill criminals who are willing to surrender without trial.

He expected Batman and Cyborg to stop David.

The young Cyborg showed struggle and remained silent.

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

But thinking about when David killed Kalibak, he didn't stop him. Instead, he was inspired by the Transcendent to help him avenge his father. He was not qualified to stop the Transcendent.

Batman frowned and made no move.

"You are too dangerous. If you are alive in the world, maybe what happened today will happen again, and many people will be in danger."

It started by affecting an entire city, and the madness plunged millions of people into madness and chaos. I am afraid that more people died today than the day Brainiac attacked.

The alliance has no means to restrain this guy.

"I know your identity, Dai..."

The psychic pirate's eyes were as fierce as that of a cornered beast. He roared and tried to reveal David's identity, but it was too late.

Bang!

The overwhelming force pressed down and instantly crushed him into a puddle of flesh.

The miserable sight of death made Cyborg look away.

"Um, what's going on?"

Clark woke up in mid-air and suddenly saw a piece of the ground below that seemed to have been dug out. He was startled.

"David? I'm being controlled."

His expression changed, and he suddenly realized what might have happened.

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

Seeing the worried face on Clark's face, he knew what he was thinking. He stretched out his hand to take a picture, and the mask previously worn by the psychic pirate flew to his eyes. David looked at it twice.

The mask before that guy would glow every time he used his ability, and it could survive the hypergravity field intact. This mask should be an artifact with special abilities, and it might be included in his collection.

“Put me on and I’ll give you everything you want.

Immortality, wealth, power, I will help you rule this world. "

The mask shimmers with light, emitting waves of bewitching thoughts, like a devil that leads people to corruption.

"pity……"

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

“I don’t need conscious things in my collection.”

It's too dangerous to have this at home. What if my parents find out that they were tempted by the psychic protection of the light ring? It's better to throw it away in the treasure house of Paradise Island and let the Amazons guard it, just like the previous Mother Box. .

"I'll leave the rest to you."

The culprit who caused millions of people in Metropolis to lose their minds has been found dead, and David turns and flies away.

He had done the hardest part and had no interest in dealing with the scraps that were left.

"Is this done by the Beyonder?"

Wondering what happened, the Flash quickly arrived just in time to see David leaving.

"Once again he solved the crisis but dumped this mess on us."

Cyborg looked at the blocks that had disappeared for miles around and felt a little headache. How were they going to explain this to the metropolitan city government? At least hundreds of thousands of people had lost their homes and property.

"I think they would be somewhat grateful."

Flash scratched his head.

In any case, the Beyonder saved Metropolis. Without him, who knows what would have happened, even Superman was controlled.

Compared to millions or more who died in the chaos, they should not be able to accept this result.

"I hope so."

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 huge pit, Clark came back to his senses and said, "I'm fine."

He was just a little scared. His identity was known to the criminals, and his parents were also exposed. He was also controlled. Fortunately, no one was injured.

"Thanks to David, otherwise... today might be the day I regret the most."

He covered his forehead with a complicated expression.

After David left, Clark, Batman, Cyborg, and other members of the alliance who came back after hearing the news worked together to resolve the riots in the city and prevent more people from being injured.

When the citizens of Metropolis recovered, they saw a city full of devastation and chaos.

Everyone was in a state of rejoicing, and looking back on what they had done when they lost their minds felt like a horrific nightmare.

A series of problems related to family, family, economy, law, etc. that emerged during the riots troubled millions of citizens in the following years. However, the Justice League could not help and could only leave it to the city government and citizens themselves. solved.

The citizens of Metropolis have never hated a person as much as they do today. The shadow left by the psychic pirates has almost caught up with Brainiac, who once turned Metropolis into a city in a bottle. The damage and influence caused by it are even greater. surpassed him.

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

However, some citizens lost their homes and shops, and became homeless with their wives and children, living on the streets. They were full of dissatisfaction 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 landed on the square in front of the city hall, with the words "for post-disaster repair and compensation work" written on it, the dissatisfaction of those citizens immediately disappeared and they shut up. They all received generous compensation, far more than before. Loss, his face glowed red and he began to sing praises to the transcendent!

The transcendent person who had previously ignored the lives of citizens in their mouths immediately became a decisive, wise, kind and kind-hearted hero.

"David, how did you do that?"

Clark asked in disbelief when he returned home.

"Where did you get the money?

It is impossible for Bruce, the richest man in the league, to come up with such a piece of gold. "

That huge piece of gold was converted into tens of billions of dollars, almost as much as the accumulation of several generations of the Wayne family over more than two hundred years. When Batman saw that dreamy piece of gold, he fell silent. For a while.

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

Under the stars at night, on the second floor of the warehouse, David was leaning on the side with his arms folded.

“More than ninety-nine percent of the gold resources are in the earth’s crust, and I extracted that piece of gold from the mantle and squeezed it into shape.

If you want, I can give you a piece ten times bigger than that tomorrow. "

In fact, as the king of a super-technical kingdom like Atlantis, he can mobilize more resources and wealth than any political leader of any country on earth. It's just that he is too lazy to go to Atlantis and just pick up materials from anywhere. The heart pulled out a piece of gold.

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

He actually paid attention to some discordant voices on the Internet.

"That piece of gold is nothing to me."

David looked toward the house.

“But it would make the noise about me less loud.

My parents often pay attention to the comments about us online. Sometimes being famous is not a good thing. "

As parents, Jonathan and Martha were somewhat distressed by the comments criticizing him.

Well, Clark scratched his head and knew why his brother did this.

…

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

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

“I thought it would be earlier.

Half a month has passed since the chaos in the Metropolis before the news was released a month ago. The other party seems to have no confidence in grabbing the headlines with our transcendent. "

Hal Jordan sat on the chair with his arms folded, a look of ridicule on David's face.

A long time ago, Batman had spoken to members who were not present at the time about the crisis that might arise from 'Redemption'.

Flash looked weird and suspected this too.

The incident in Yasir's country happened long before the Black Adam incident, but it was not until long after the Metropolis riots that the organization called the First Redemption Church announced the incident.

"My mother has seen the mask you sent back to Paradise Island. She can't find out the origin of the mask. It probably has 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. .”

During the meeting, Diana whispered to David.

"The bewitching ability on it was inherent when it was created and cannot be expelled."

David nodded in understanding.

It's a pity that the mask that increases the power of the mind has the ability to bewitch and is extremely powerful. I heard Clark said that the psychic pirate wanted to create a new world. I'm afraid that his brain was affected by the mask, so he was so ignorant. plan of.

Although the mask is just a magic item, it should not be underestimated. The DC world never lacks magicians who are more powerful than gods, such as the wizard who created the power of Shazam.

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

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

Cyborg looked suspicious.

"There is no doubt that there is a powerful force behind this."

“It’s not surprising that First Redemption Church has experienced early funding from many wealthy people from around the world.”

Batman knows that the power of capital can even influence the government.

The materials he used to build Fenrir's armor were originally top-secret military materials from the country with the strongest military strength on Earth, which could not leak even a gram.

"Now almost the whole world knows about him."

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

"There are already devout Catholics among them. How much strength will this provide him?"

Except for David, everyone present looked thoughtful, and Clark was the same.

After enduring Brainiac, Black Adam, and psychic pirates, he realizes that his strength is not enough to deal with all the crises on this planet.

"The power of one person is very small, but when the power of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people come together, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist."

Clark looked at David worriedly.

Although he usually doesn't do anything, David has now almost become the alliance's first choice to deal with huge crises. If 'Redemption' becomes a criminal who endangers the world, David will bear the brunt.

"He hasn't done anything yet, why is he so nervous?"

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

This matter has been discussed last time. This time, just because of the other party's action, an all-staff meeting was specially held. Is it a bit of an overreaction?

He still has the same view. The ability of 'redemption' cannot have no limit. It is at best a DC enhanced version of 'sword fighting'.

"In fact, their next move may already be revealed to us."

Batman and Cyborg, who have been responsible for processing alliance information and serving as brain functions, looked at each other, were silent for a moment, and looked at David.

"Do you have the mask of the psychic pirate in your hand?"

"What's the meaning?"

David raised his eyebrows.

"This is a statement just released on the official website of First Redemption Church."

Cyborg waved his hand, and a website message was projected in the middle of the round table.

"They claim that the psionic pirate's mask is a weapon made by the devil, tempting corruption and bringing disaster. They request the Alliance to hand it over to the church for safekeeping."

Everyone present turned their attention to David, because they all knew that he had taken away the mask.

David was a little surprised when he glanced at those two lines of words.

“Masks can indeed lead to corruption and disaster.

I have done experiments. If the person is not mentally strong enough, the mask will be ignored. Perhaps only people with the potential to bring disaster will be tempted by it. "

He looked at everyone who seemed a little worried about this matter and raised his eyebrows.

"You want me to give the mask to them?"

The devil's weapon?

He still believed in the vision of Zeus's former lover Hippolyta. The mask was just a magic item and had nothing to do with gods or demons. The church's statement was probably not an excuse for him to hand over the mask.

After all, the opposite of God is the devil, and the rest is a matter of extension and chance.

"No!"

Batman shook his head vigorously in denial.

"Absolutely not."

Clark and others looked at Batman with some confusion, who reacted a little fiercely.

"A mask that can strengthen the power of the mind and distort other people's minds, and a church that has been trying to absorb its followers, what did you think of?" He knocked on the table with his knuckles.

The expressions of Clark and others changed.

For the church that was attracting members, the mask was a godsend.

"With that mask, it will take the First Redemption Church a few years at the latest to unify the world in terms of faith."

“What remarkable news that First Redemption Church and the Justice League are having conversations and requests.

But they had just made a high-profile announcement all over the world, but they failed to grasp this hot news topic. "

Cyborg, who knows the Internet best, thinks this is an extremely abnormal point. In the words of the Internet, he could obviously use this statement to boost the popularity of their Justice League, but he did not do so.

Do you not want too many people to know?

“If nothing else happens, the Redemption Church may send a message soon.”

He didn't pay much attention to this matter at first, but he didn't expect that it would involve him in the end. David thought about it and smiled.

The First Redemption Church would not be stupid enough to think that just publishing a statement on its official website would allow him to hand over a mask that contained dangerous power. Substantial actions would immediately follow.

Just as he finished speaking.

Ding!

A new message alert sounded in the hall, and everyone looked strange.

Cyborg, who has been responsible for handling official affairs of the league, took advantage of the situation.

The new official email is signed to First Redemption Church.

"The Transcendent, 'Salvation' invites you to meet on a grassland next to the land of Yasir in Africa."

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