Chapter 483 Diana's Gift, General Zod Resurrects Millions of Kryptonians?
Rumble rumble rumble!
Countless Parademons flew in from the sky. Chen Tao was somewhat surprised as Darkseid, with a sour face, flew out of the sonic tunnel in his classic pose with his hands behind his back.
The volcanic ash that blotted out the sky was quickly destroyed and evaporated by the Parademons driven by Darkseid using Apokolips' advanced weapons. Some of it was even sent directly into space by the massive sonic boom channel opened by Darkseid.
The Justice League members who rushed to the scene discovered that they had been robbed of their jobs by Darkseid. Darkseid quickly finished all his work in a huff.
Using Apokolips technology, he directly used the lava erupted from the volcano to create a large, barren piece of land out of thin air on the sea.
Before countless people living in Fiji could even react, their homes were smashed open by ferocious demons who broke in, kidnapped them from their warm homes, and then dumped alone on a newly built desert island thousands of miles away.
Many people were wearing pajamas or even nothing at all. Chen Tao saw a naked woman who had obviously changed half of her clothes but had been captured by the Parademons. She was clutching her chest and screaming loudly, and the entire artificial island was in chaos.
People were talking amongst themselves, asking each other questions, and some were even complaining about the itinerary.
However, when they saw Fiji, which was engulfed by volcanic ash in the distance, they all fell silent.
Wonder Woman used her Lasso of Truth to lift the entire building she had uprooted and flew over, then gently placed it on the large piece of land created by Apokolips.
She turned her head and saw Batman sitting on a large man-made rock, gazing at the city engulfed in volcanic ash in the distance. Centuries ago, the ancient Roman city of Pompeii was destroyed under volcanic ash, and today, Fiji, which Batman had longed for, had also been reduced to a permanent sculpture under volcanic ash.
Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced, and worse, the tourism industry, which the economy depended on, suffered a near-devastating blow. For Batman...
The Fiji he had been waiting for no longer existed.
The island was covered in gray volcanic ash, and the Parademon army retreated like ants through countless sonic booms.
At that moment, Wonder Woman watched as Batman and countless bewildered Fijian residents gazed into the distance.
Everyone's face showed confusion and fear, and Diana knew very well what this expression represented: fear of the future and confusion about fate.
Since Batman's back was to Superman, Diana couldn't see the expression on Batman's face, but she guessed that Batman must be just like the other Fijian residents.
She knew Batman had been waiting for the day he could retire in Fiji. During his busiest times, the place seemed to have become a kind of refuge for Batman's soul.
Although he was always too busy to have the opportunity or time, he would always know that there was a place in this world called Fiji.
Although Fiji may not be such a great place after all, and perhaps after Batman has spent enough time there he will realize he doesn't fit in, perhaps it's not particularly special compared to other parts of the world, and is only gilded by films like *The Truman Show* or others—
But it's always just a thought, right?
But now even Fiji is gone. Diana didn't know what to say, so she opened her mouth:
"Bruce..."
"You did a great job, Diana."
Batman's first sentence acknowledges Wonder Woman Diana's achievements.
Batman always does this; he's adept at and always considers his teammates' feelings before speaking. It's precisely because of this skill and habit that he can get his teammates to forgive his minor transgressions when he does something a little excessive.
"But……"
"As long as the person is still alive, that's all that matters."
Then, as if Batman had somehow guessed what she was thinking, Diana heard Batman say, "As long as everyone's alright. Fiji is just a place; as long as people are alive, it can be rebuilt."
"As long as everyone is alright, as long as everyone is alive, even if the world is rebuilt, there will be no sadness," she heard Batman say.
Then Batman turned to the side, turned his head, as if to say something to himself. But then a somewhat suppressed expression suddenly appeared on his face, and he slightly raised his eyebrows.
"Diana, could you keep Alfred company? He was slightly injured in the earthquake caused by the volcanic eruption, and he's also had quite a bit to drink."
Wonder Woman didn't understand what Batman meant at first.
But soon she heard Batman give her another order: "Help me reorganize the Justice League, Diana. The people need the Justice League's help."
Diana suddenly realized something was happening. She felt a little sad for Batman, but she also knew that Batman didn't need pity.
An impulse suddenly brewed in her heart, then burst forth, transforming into a warrior's encouragement as it left her lips: "May you triumph. I mean, may you, like the vibrant bloom of summer, never fade."
She spoke haltingly, then seemed to have made up her mind.
She said, "After everything is over, I will come to the Batcave to find you. I have a gift for you."
Diana's memories were reset when Chen Tao restarted the universe, so she has forgotten the history that the entire Justice League failed before the timeline was restarted.
Therefore, at this moment, her words did not express any concern about Batman's potential failure, but rather a sense of unease and some inexplicable embarrassment.
Chen Tao was slightly surprised.
He asked bluntly, "What gift?"
Diana breathed a sigh of relief, and the heroic figure of an Amazon warrior reappeared on her face, as if her earlier coyness was just Chen Tao's illusion.
You'll find out then!
As she shouted this, she quickly turned her head and fled as if she were escaping.
Superman, who had just settled a large group of refugees, flew over from a short distance away. Then, Diana came running like the wind, shouting, "Justice League, assemble! Everyone, heed my command!"
Superman: ?
Where's Batman?
Clark asked, "He..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wonder Woman, who was jumping around in a state of confusion, grabbed his cape and tossed him into the air: "I told you, now you'll obey my orders!"
Chen Tao watched all of this unfold. He saw the Martian hunter fly over from a distance and see Hal Jordan materialize one small elevator after another, then make a dinging sound to quickly find the refugees from the ruins and give them the same treatment as if they were riding an elevator, gently placing them on the ground.
He watched as Shazam clumsily used his lightning magic to put a dead cell phone back to work. The child, experiencing magical charging for the first time, let out a surprised scream and then eagerly used the phone to call his parents, telling them that he had met a powerful sorcerer.
Chen Tao watched all this silently from a distance...
All of this...all of this is so wonderful.
Then, at the same time, a sonic boom opened up beside him.
Darkseid, his face grim, poked his obsidian-like head out from behind the sonic boom tunnel and said:
"Batman, Night Owl sent me to see you. He needs you to come to him immediately to discuss something."
Darkseid said this while thinking to himself.
Damn it, you bastard! He is His Majesty Darkseid, Lord of Apokolips, Master of Darkness!
That damned Night Owl bastard, how dare he let him act as a mouthpiece?!
Darkseid was seething with rage inside, but he didn't show it on his face.
"What needs to be discussed?"
"I don't know. So let's go, Night Owl must have something to tell you."
Chen Tao nodded.
He lifted his foot, about to step behind the blast tunnel, intending to take a short rest before embarking on a new journey, but then suddenly remembered something, withdrew his foot, and turned to walk towards Wonder Woman.
"Batman?"
I'll be back in a bit.
He approached Diana and said, "There's one more thing I need to ask of you, Diana. Please apologize to Alfred for me."
He said, "I'm sorry I couldn't give him the Fiji trip he wanted and I wanted. I'm sorry this happened, and I'm sorry I have to go on my journey again."
He said, "I really want to say that I promised him I would make up for this trip again after everything is over. I feel like I've said that many times, but this time I've kept my word. I'm not putting it off. I told Alfred I would go, we would go."
"However, the destruction of Fiji was not something I could influence with my personal will... Anyway, that's all."
He said, "Could you help me get there safely, Diana?"
"Of course...".
"OK."
So Chen Tao had nothing left to worry about. He took a deep breath, and then Batman awakened within him.
He walked back to Daxide and said to him with an almost condescending and disdainful air, "Let's go."
The voice was so matter-of-fact, as if Darkseid were not a powerful dark lord, but merely his servant.
The dark, twisted, blood-soaked monster resurrected from his body in an instant. Exhaustion, weakness, and fear vanished from him. The volcanic ash that had blotted out the sky just minutes before dissipated in that moment. Darkseid turned to the side and saw Batman bathed in the blazing sun. Despite wearing black, he lived like a flame, a flame that illuminated the darkness.
I will rage... I will rage against the dissipation of light.
Angrily denounce, angrily denounce the passing of light.
Although wise people understand the rationale behind darkness when they are dying.
Because their words did not unleash lightning.
They did not go into that good night gently either.
……
……
……
Earth.
Some time ago.
A secret base in the Middle East.
This is a building constructed in the middle of a desert where yellow sand stretches as far as the eye can see. At the entrance to a basement deep inside the building, a faint green light shines from the doorway.
Countless black-clad warriors and assassins lay dead on the ground. They were highly trained killers and warriors of the League of Shadows. Even Batman—of course, the Batman during his apprenticeship with the League of Shadows—had to retreat when surrounded by them. But now, someone slaughtered them all as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. Those highly skilled warriors who were adept at using both cold and firearms were smashed to pieces like blocks of tofu.
"How dare you stand in front of me—ah!!!"
puff!
"Help! What kind of monster is this? Shoot! Shoot it!"
puff!
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!"
puff!
"Cut off his hand! Cut off his hand! Chop it off hard!"
"Help! Help! This guy is a Kryptonian! Quickly, go and get the Demon Lord!"
"Find Kryptonite, give me the Kryptonite, and then..."
"It's no use, why???"
puff!
Soon, the remaining resistance was completely wiped out, followed by the rustling sound of someone wiping their hands. He wiped away the brain matter and blood stuck to his palms, and carelessly stepped over the last remaining lines of resistance with his boots.
Glug! Glug!
Strange sounds emanated from the glowing doorway, like the bubbling of boiling water. The green light illuminating the entire basement didn't come from dozens of green light bulbs, but entirely from a pool of pale green spring water.
This is the Fountain of Youth, also known as the Pool of Lhasa Road. The pool contains inferior Dionysian factors, which is why the user is given the power to be resurrected.
Batman's mentor, the ninja master Raikou Augu, known as the leader of the demons, once used this pool to live for 600 years.
He considered this pool of water his private property, and for thousands of years, apart from his most prized disciple Bruce Wayne, he had never shared the power of the Lazarus Pool with anyone, not even his daughter, Talia Augu, who had once faced Batman head-on and then gave birth to Damian Wayne.
But today... an uninvited guest has entered his world.
"First of all, how dare you trespass into my meditation room, and then you dare to propose this absurd alliance?"
Glug glug glug glug glug glug glug...
The sound was like the rising tide, followed by the splashing sound of someone walking out of the spring.
Green bubbles rose to the surface of the pool, and another man's voice echoed alongside them:
"When I can easily get what I want, I will definitely come to you with good intentions."
"If you cannot act with reason, then war will break out."
"And when this war ends, the Demon King..."
"The Lhasa Road Pool will belong to—Agong City!"
