American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander

"Don, I admit that there are elements of inducement in my words, but I will never deceive myself.

If you knew my past, you would understand how much I hate this city.

Even though Wayne's surname has given me wealth and power that no other Gothamite can achieve, this city seems to have given me everything, but it has taken away all my happiness and memories.

Some of the words coming out of my mouth sounded really pretentious.

But wouldn’t those words be more pretentious when they fall on you? "

At this point, Bruce finally became more natural, and he continued.

"Look at you now, because you can't die and can't be controlled, you have completely lost the right to be afraid, and even emotions such as nervousness are difficult to touch you.

In some ways, our situations are similar in that we both have lost something completely.

I have wealth that is unmatched by anyone in the world, but I claim to have lost my happiness forever.

You have power that no one in the world can match, yet you claim that you miss the fear of the past.

If we were to perform on the Oprah Show, people all over the world would curse us.

But only we know that what we say is true, because only those who have truly lost will truly miss what they have lost. "

"indeed!"

After hearing this, Downton finally became a little more serious.

Unlike just now, he knew that Bruce was really speaking his mind now.

Bruce is admittedly one of the smartest people in the world, but his style is actually easier to grasp, especially now that he has not yet matured.

For Bruce, as long as his past is mentioned in the conversation, the words are basically not tactics and rhetoric.

Because everyone who knows Bruce knows how important his past is to him!

Thinking of this, Downton raised his right hand, pressed Bruce's shoulder heavily, and asked.

"Destiny is pretty fucked up, isn't he?"

"If there really is destiny in the world, then why wouldn't I want to give him a punch?"

While Bruce responded, he couldn't help but show a moment of loneliness. After being lonely, Bruce shook his head uncomfortably.

"Tang, let's not talk about that, let's go back to the constraints.

I was not joking with you just now. In my opinion, no matter how powerful and capable you are, you must have corresponding restrictions.

The point of conditioning is not to make people realize our weakness, but to make us realize who we really are.

All those who avoid weaknesses as disasters, not only do they not have a strong enough mind, they are more likely to make people laugh like clowns.

them……"

"What the hell, wait the fuck!"

Suddenly, Downton interrupted Bruce.

"Hearing the word clown in your mouth always makes me feel a little tingly.

Damn, I even got goosebumps, haha! "

"Well……"

Listening to Downton's words, Bruce shrugged his nose.

"Why is your reaction so exaggerated? Are you implying that I am also a clown? I..."

"OK, you better stop talking, I'm going to die laughing!

As for the constraints you mentioned, man, think about it carefully. Did I really leave no constraints on myself? "

Downton interrupted Bruce and pointed at Bruce's chest.

"Think about yourself, Bruce, and why you're still sitting here talking to me.

You and Lucius are studying things that are aimed at me. Guess why you can still study with peace of mind, and I can even sit here and chat with you about your research.

In a sense, you are the constraints I have left for myself. If I always go further and further into the same life, no one knows whether I will forget who I am.

So, you have to work harder!

Moreover, don’t keep thinking about using weird things to restrict me, you should think more about how to kill me! "

Speaking of this, Downton showed a mysterious smile to Bruce.

I saw him snickering as he continued.

“Think about the myths you’ve heard, like no one could hurt Achilles, but Achilles had a fragile heel.

Don't look at how happy I am now, but maybe I also have some sort of Achilles' heel weakness!

If you never try to find that weakness, you'll never succeed.

So you have to stand up, stop thinking about useless things all day long, but focus more and more seriously on trying to really kill me in various ways!

What if a certain approach happens to be my Achilles' heel? "

After finishing his words, Downton patted Bruce on the shoulder encouragingly!

Looking at Downton, whose eyes were full of encouragement, Bruce turned his head angrily.

"So, if I keep killing you, you will keep getting stronger. When you get stronger, I will have to find more new ways to keep killing you.

Downton, do you want to consume my entire life by yourself? "

"Holy crap, man, you can't think like that!

Who am I? I'm a fucking revenant. There hasn't been anyone as dangerous as me in Gotham in the past thirty years!

Even though you might spend your whole life dealing with me alone, if you think about it from my perspective, you might spend your whole life challenging the greatest evil in Gotham and even the world!

If you think this way, will you feel more comfortable? "

Donton continued to pat Bruce's shoulder with a smile, and Bruce rolled his eyes helplessly.

"It's impossible to feel comfortable!"

He said to Donton depressedly.

"Don, are you sure you really have an Achilles' heel? I originally thought you should have at least such a weakness, but now, I also feel a little unconfident!"

"What's unconfident?"

In the distance, Lucius, who was pushing the big meal back, heard Bruce's words and asked curiously.

"I'm almost sixty years old, don't talk about unconfidence in front of me.

But if the two of you have encountered unconfidence at your age, then you might as well talk more, because I feel comfortable listening to it.

When men reach my age, they are too sensitive psychologically, but listening to the embarrassing stories of young people can make them a lot better.

What is the so-called self-confidence? Isn't it just compared to compare, haha! "

Lucius brought the meal to everyone while laughing.

Donton took up the burger and started eating it first, while Bruce and Lucius looked at each other and started eating with a wry smile.

After eating and drinking, Donton stretched with a smile and stood up.

"Okay, guys, I just came to see you.

By the way, I plan to give you some materials from me.

Ah Fu picked up a few hairs last night. What use can that thing be to you? I have to send you some materials in person to give you more motivation.

If one day in the future, the two of you can develop a weapon that can kill me millions of times in one second, you will never imagine how much I will love you!

Believe me, I am telling the truth. Now I no longer hate those who kill me.

Because only those who are willing to kill me are my true mentors and friends! "

After the words fell, Downton stretched his right hand to his mouth, and then bit his little finger hard.

Accompanied by the sound of bones creaking and teeth constantly exerting force, Downton tore off his little finger!

Looking at Downton's crazy behavior, Bruce took a deep breath, and Lucius couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

And Downton, he bared his bloody teeth and laughed happily, and then threw the little finger into Bruce's arms.

After taking Downton's little finger with a sudden start, Bruce asked Downton with a sullen face.

"Don't you feel the pain?"

"Of course I feel pain, but the pain is far from enough to repel us. "

As Donton responded, he went to the side to find a thick tissue and pressed it on the broken root of his little finger.

Then, he pointed at the finger Bruce was holding and said.

"You'd better hurry up, because as long as I teleport once, all the flesh and genetic material I have left behind will completely disappear and return to my body.

In order to give you more motivation to deal with me, I will try not to teleport tonight, but at the latest tomorrow, you will not be able to save my finger.

So, you only have one night at best, but you don't need to be too anxious.

I'm always here. If you are short of materials one day, just call me directly. "

Speaking of this, Donton suddenly thought of something, so he rubbed his chin awkwardly.

Then, he smiled and approached Bruce and whispered.

"Well, I just remembered something.

In my case, things like clothes and mobile phones on my body are often easy to lose.

You all know that I am bombed by missiles at any time, and occasionally I am struck in the face by a damn thunder!

So, ahem... Bruce..."

Donton suddenly smiled and approached Bruce, and his movements and expressions made Bruce couldn't help but step back.

But Donton still grabbed Bruce's wrist and continued.

"Can I ask you a favor?

After all, you and Lucius are both very capable scientists, so can you help me make a set of clothes.

It should have more functions, can make phone calls, and won't be easily blown up by nuclear bombs.

It would be best if it was made of nano materials, so I can wear it as a shirt!"
