Chapter 343 God's Angry Spirit
Amanda Waller stood in her office with her hands behind her back. The strange thing was that Berelf Prison... was supposed to be Amanda Waller's own lair. She should have run this place as solid as a rock, but whether it was Maxwell Lord's invasion or the escape of Leopard Woman and Black Manta, Amanda Waller herself never showed up, and she didn't even take out the cards she had stored in the name of the government as a counterattack. From beginning to end, only her samurai sword appeared, and once tried to stop Maxwell Lord, but was unfortunately defeated by Rostam holding a flaming blade. And if someone asked the other party after waking up, it would be easy to know that the samurai sword's act of protecting the prison was entirely out of private action, not Amanda Waller's order. This is impossible. The leader of a large spy group usually loses control of the entire organization only when he dies. However, Amanda Waller is alive and well at this time, jumping around and full of energy. This situation is very strange, very strange. What's even more bizarre is the state of Amanda Waller's office at the moment: the windows of the entire house are covered by a layer of dark purple translucent shield, and a huge flower is placed in the corner of the room to produce oxygen for this almost completely sealed room.
"You're here." Amanda Waller looked out the window covered with a layer of purple film and said, "I thought you would come earlier."
She turned her head: "You're slack."
"... I'm sorry."
A voice suddenly came from the shadow in the backlight of the room, and then Amanda Waller saw that the shadow began to wriggle and deform as if it was alive.
It spread over the legs of the table, flowed onto the chair like a fluid, and then reshaped into a human figure...
It was Batman.
Huh? Shouldn't Batman be chasing Cheetah at this time, and then solve the problem of his son Damian?
Why is he here?
Amanda Waller pulled the chair over and sat opposite Batman with her fat butt.
She saw Batman's eyes narrowed, and then stretched out a finger and knocked on the table.
"Aren't you going to explain? Waller."
Amanda Waller's face was expressionless. No matter how many times she looked at this top agent with a middle-aged appearance, when she showed a serious expression, it would make people feel unreal and confused.
"Maxwell Lord thought his telepathic ability was unparalleled in the world."
Amanda Waller had already prepared a script. To elevate one's enemies is also to elevate oneself.
"And his ability is indeed like that." Batman said.
"His ability is very special." Amanda Waller said slowly:
"His ability is not like many telepaths we have seen. Brain Demon, Psychic Pirate, Blake, Dr. Neuro, Brainiac... Although their telepathic abilities are powerful, they are presented in the form of direct control of other people's bodies. They use their own will to cover the victim's mind, thereby manipulating them like puppets."
"But Maxwell Lord is different. His telepathic ability is more like a super persuasion technique. He can make people involuntarily agree with the ideas he says. He pretends to be the victim's friend and thinks about the victim wholeheartedly. Compared with simple and crude mental manipulation, this kind of control is more powerful and more terrifying."
Amanda Waller sighed: "So..."
"So...?" She heard Batman on the other side make a slight questioning sound. As an agent, her instinct made her keenly capture the other party's annoyance hidden under the calm question.
Amanda Waller lowered her head, and she tried her best to make her tone sound extremely helpless: "So I never thought that a telepath like him would also be controlled by others." "I don't think it was the telepath who controlled Lord." Batman interrupted her coldly: "Maxwell Lord is already a character in the first tier of telepathic power among telepaths. No telepath can affect his mind without him realizing it. Then there is only one possibility: the one who influenced Lord is not a human." He paused, then said: "In fact, there was a fallacy in my previous suspicion, which is why I showed up here a little later. Due to the previous intelligence, I wrongly guessed that the person who influenced Maxwell Lord's mind was the Space Star Conqueror Starro. Although the Space Star Conqueror Star's mental control ability is a typical type that turns others into puppets, but in terms of the strength and quantity of mental power, he is still far beyond Maxwell Lord. I thought Starro had used some method to sneak attack Lord, causing him to lose in the mental world and thus be played with by life and death, but I didn't expect..." "But I didn't expect it was something I did. I'm sorry, Batman." Amanda Waller said: "Everything originated from something collected by the Sky Eye Bureau: the Heart of Darkness, just like the God-killing Blade that turned Barbara Minerva into a leopard woman. With huge manpower, material resources and resources, the Sky Eye Bureau collected and sent many magic props. " "Although you don't actually understand what these magic props are used for. I am often amazed at your audacity. You are touching things that you don't understand enough, or even don't know what they are. "
Amanda Waller seemed not to hear Batman's sarcasm. She continued, "The Heart of Darkness is a magic item that can stimulate the evil side of human beings as long as it is close to them. Now it seems that this item may have its own consciousness, thus bewitching Maxwell——"
"It's not that the Heart of Darkness has its own consciousness."
Chen Tao interrupted Amanda Waller.
He held his head with a headache: "The Heart of Darkness is a sealed gem, which seals Eclipse, a dangerous person on the magic side."
"Eclipse? Who is that?" Amanda Waller had never heard of this name.
"He is the former executioner of God, the incarnation of God's Wrathful Spirit."
Then she heard Batman say:
"Initially, God created the Wrathful Spirit to punish the wicked and cleanse the world of evil and sin. The Wrathful Spirit is also known as the pseudo-angel Galid or LLadiz."
"In ancient times, in order to cleanse sin, the Wrathful Spirit once caused a flood.
"The Wrathful Spirit is driven by anger, but anger is not sharp enough, so God created the Spirit of Vengeance to replace the Wrathful Spirit. This Spirit of Vengeance is the Ghost."
"To this day, God's Spirit of Vengeance, the Ghost, is still the most powerful superhero on the magic side."
Amanda Waller listened to Batman's words silently. The other party seemed to be completely immersed in his own world. He looked a little frustrated and a little annoyed.
"Of course, the Ghost is also the most useless superhero."
"Oh, the invincible Ghost fell again!"
"Okay, just kidding. "Batman was babbling, and Amanda Waller couldn't fully understand what he was saying, but she wrote down every word. This was the information Batman enjoyed, and if it wasn't for the current opportunity, he would never share it with the Eye of Heaven. "In short, the Wrathful Spirit was deprived of his power and status by his successor, the Spectre, who sealed the Wrathful Spirit in a black diamond [Heart of Darkness] that was a specialty of Apocalypse and would only bring sadness and pain to people, and banished the embers of the Wrathful Spirit to the back of the moon. " "And the Wrathful Spirit is Eclipse. " "Later, the black diamond Heart of Darkness that sealed Eclipse was found by an American explorer on the African savannah. He cut the Heart of Darkness into 1,000 pieces and scattered them to every corner of the world. Each piece of the Heart of Darkness hides the evil essence of Eclipse. This allows Eclipse to extend its tentacles to the whole world, but it also weakens his power. Only when more fragments of the Heart of Darkness are gathered together can he be able to exert his powerful magic. "
Chen Tao said: "But even though he is sealed in the Heart of Darkness, Tianshi can still control and possess anyone who touches the Heart of Darkness. Even if it is just possession, he still has unparalleled magical power. ""
"What's worse is that the Sky Eye Society found a relatively large piece of it." Amanda Waller said calmly: "This gem made every staff member who was close to him crazy, so we had to keep it in a special area for safekeeping, but we didn't expect that the scope of his control over the human mind began to grow larger and larger. Every jailer was struggling whether to reach out and touch the Heart of Darkness. Even if they were repeatedly ordered, it had little effect. This was completely a control that humans could not resist, so we finally switched to robots."
Chen Tao said: "But Eclipse still used his magic to influence Maxwell Lord. He made Lord have the idea of obtaining the Heart of Darkness.
"Not only that,"
Amanda Waller said:
"He also radiated the entire Berelf Prison. Except for the few super villains who escaped before, the minds of everyone in the prison have been played by Eclipse. This is why I am hiding in this house now. "Amanda Waller said: "I am isolated and helpless. "
Chen Tao's face was not good.
The situation was now very clear. Amanda Waller and his Sky Eye Bureau were playing with something they didn't understand at all, the Heart of Darkness. They merged many small dark stars into a big one, and then made the one in their hands grow bigger and bigger, and then naturally restored the power of the Eclipse.
After playing too much, Amanda Waller was forced to shrink in her room and activate the magic protection barrier to prevent the Eclipse from invading her mind, but it also made her unable to contact anyone. She could only hope that Batman would find out about his situation through clues and come to help save her life.
"So in summary, you are on guard against me, afraid that I know what you are doing, and then you make a time bomb in your warehouse, and then the bomb is activated, and you tell me that now I have to deal with this bomb, because once it explodes, it will blow up the entire Justice League. "
Chen Tao said: "Can I understand it this way? "
"This time bomb was not made by us. When we discovered the Heart of Darkness, the Eclipse was already absorbing a lot of fragments of the Heart of Darkness. "
Amanda Waller corrected: "Without the Eye in the Sky, the Heart of Darkness will not be brought back. It will explode in some other corner that we don't know, and it will cause more serious damage at that time. Now we at least know who our enemy is. "
She said: "I think you must have a solution now. "
……
……
……
Maxwell Lord closed his eyes.
He could still hear an old man's voice echoing in his ears.
That was the voice of the high priest of Devil Island, a magician. Maxwell Lord found him and forced him to brand himself with the holy symbol.
"This world is already fragile."
He remembered the dying voice of the old priest with white beard and eyebrows.
Then his own voice sounded:
"That's right, the world is going to hell, isn't it? He has fallen into madness, and someone has to end him."
The high priest shook his head, and blood flowed from the wound on his face.
"Not you. You were born as a human, but I saw a person who chose darkness in your eyes."
He stared at Lord, and until now, Lord still remembered his eyes before he died.
"Why do this? You and I both know that Eclipse will eventually regain his freedom." Maxwell Lord said, "Wouldn't it be better if someone could control him?"
"Control? Stop kidding. Your ability is useless. You may be able to control a group of wild dogs, but you are not strong enough to control him."
Maxwell Lord narrowed his eyes. Blood flowed from his nose, and he used his ability on the high priest.
His voice began to become erratic and persuasive, making people sound as if he was thinking about himself.
"Well, then give me what I want, and then I can make the result good for everyone. I promise you that if you help me, I can save you from pain."
But he still got a rejection.
"I will never help you, Maxwell Lord."
"Is that so? Maybe you just need some motivation..."
Then there was a scream at the top of his lungs.
Maxwell Lord opened his eyes and saw Violent Wolf and the others standing in front of him. They had completely submitted to him, and what he was about to get would be far beyond the scope that the old man could understand.
A person who chose darkness? There is no way to control it?
Just wait and see... I will prove it to you with facts...
He walked towards the target with the wind under his feet. Violent Wolf and the others followed him silently, like his honor guard.
In the breeze blowing as the battle was about to begin, Maxwell Lord looked far away and saw that not far away from the swaying shadows of the trees, Belle Reve Prison stood there quietly, quietly waiting for his arrival.
And the center of this prison was their target:
Eclipse!
Boom!!!
A few dozen minutes later, Wonder Woman, who had just sent several villains such as shrapnel and steel beams back to Belle Reve Prison, dodged a concrete boulder with steel bars thrown by Dr. Polaris using magnetic force.
She leaned her long sword horizontally, half squatted on the ground, looked at the many enemies that suddenly appeared in front of her, turned her head and asked Flash:
"Can you contact Batman?"
Her hair was scattered and her face was covered with blood. This was not her blood, but the result of her sword slashing on Violent Wolf's chest. However, such wounds disappeared in a few seconds, and they couldn't even stop the opponent's footsteps.
This alien mercenary with black hair, red eyes and white skin is truly immortal. He can even recover from the injury of his head being blown up. Wonder Woman's piercing sword is just like a tickle to him.
Clang!
Before Wonder Woman could wait for the Flash's answer, she once again swung her sword to block the iron chain thrown by the violent wolf, and then kicked the opponent backwards.
"Is there any way to deal with this enemy?"
From just now to now, she has chopped the violent wolf at least seven or eight times, but as a meat shield in the opponent's team, the defensive power of the violent wolf makes Wonder Woman feel helpless. She turned her head, but before the Flash could speak, she read the "I don't know" in his pupils, and was immediately speechless.
The cosmic mercenary who had just been kicked away also came back soon. He jumped, raised his hands wrapped in chains high, and hammered the ground like a gorilla. With a loud bang, the ground that seemed solid was instantly broken into pieces, and the gravel flew everywhere. He and several other teammates fully cooperated to chase Wonder Woman and Flash all over the ground.
"I can't contact Batman." Flash Barry said: "Damn, I can't concentrate because this guy is in my mind..."
Across from the two of them, Maxwell Lord's nose was bleeding, which was a sign that he was activating his ability, and Flash kept using the speed force to speed up his thinking speed in an attempt to avoid Lord's mental ability. This is a common move for speedsters to deal with telepaths, but Flash is actually not proficient, so it is very difficult.
In Flash's original career, the strongest and longest telepath he faced was Gorilla Grodd. However, the gorilla Grodd in this universe had long been used as a rechargeable battery by Chen Tao. Without Grodd's training, Barry was naturally at a disadvantage in the fight against the telepathic person...
"Where are the other members of the Justice League?" Wonder Woman asked, "Can they make it back?"
As she spoke, the heroine rolled over and dodged Rostam, who was holding a flaming sword. His slash set the ground on fire, and then the green light energy from the Emerald Queen's green eyes hit her back. However, the heroine only groaned, and the long sword in her hand deflected the opponent's subsequent attack.
The Flash followed her at a very fast speed, constantly checking the information obtained from the communicator in his hand.
"Let me see... The news I got here is that the Martian Hunter was accidentally hit by a missile made of magnesium. A few minutes ago, he jumped into the river to heal his wounds with flames all over his body. He hasn't come out yet."
"The whole rogue gang is fighting a group of gangsters who are the masterminds of the train robbery. However, that group of guys actually caused a small earthquake... How did they do that?"
"Shazam was involved in a magic battle from another small plane. A magical continent is ruled by a man called the King of Children... Everyone seems to have encountered something. This can't be so coincidental."
"Someone is targeting the Justice League."
Wonder Woman gritted her teeth and said, "What about others?"
"I'm afraid they will be attacked as well." Flash said, he looked a little absent-minded, and then he whispered, "None of this matters. The most important thing is that I haven't contacted Batman for more than 10 minutes. Do you think it's possible..."
"Yes, it's just as you imagined. We have prepared a big gift for Batman."
Maxwell Lord said. His nose was bleeding, but he looked unaware.
He seemed to be in a good mood. Wonder Woman was fighting with the villains again. Johnny, who was just a mask on his face, summoned countless limbs of the King of Tears from the void, constantly attacking Wonder Woman, forcing her to defend with a shield, while the eyes of the Emerald Queen launched energy shocks at the right time to oppress.
"As long as you observe carefully, you can be prepared for the entire Justice League." Maxwell Lord was still gentle.
He said:
"People always have weaknesses, don't they? And Batman's weakness is his son. He can't give up on him, especially after he gave up his son and turned to deal with the league's problems first.
"... What did you do?"
The Flash asked.
Although he has always been confident in Batman, everything in front of him made him feel like he was facing Batman.
The same targeting, the same direct attack on the key points, and the interlocking plan to lead everyone by the nose. And Batman just happened to have a son, which is indeed a weakness.
Damn, Batman, you won't...
"And you know? Now the entire league is left with only you. "
Maxiwill Lord said: "The only two people who have not been targeted in time, please forgive me, it is not because I don't value you enough, on the contrary, maybe you will be more unfortunate than those who are targeted, because you will face all of us. "
"We need to wait for Batman to come to rescue now." Flash whispered to Wonder Woman: "I don't believe Batman is so easy..."
He gritted his teeth: "Batman is always able to prepare everything. He can target every enemy he sees, and this gang is the same." He said to Wonder Woman: "Batman must be able to prepare methods to target this gang in advance, I just need to persist long enough..."
"That's wrong."
But his voice was soon interrupted by Maxiwill Lord, who was even louder.
"Batman can target you because he lives with you day and night. This is just an expert in civil wars, but a layman in foreign wars."
He said: "He can only target his teammates, not facing truly dangerous enemies..."
"Admit it, Batman will not come again."
