American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander

On the other hand, not long ago, when Doctor Fate put down the Gotham Skyrail.

He left the scene and flew in the direction where Diana left.

A moment later, in Diana's hotel.

After Doctor Fate flew in from the window, he saw Diana cleaning up the things Zatanna vomited with a bitter face.

Looking at the stains, Doctor Fate waved his hand weakly, and in the blink of an eye, the bed was restored to its original state.

Seeing this, Diana let out a long breath, then helped the confused Zatanna into her arms, and then said to Doctor Fate in disappointment.

"We are really a group of jokes. Even if we tried every possible way, we couldn't stop him from doing anything he wanted to do."

"Indeed!"

Doctor Fate nodded heavily.

"I even helped him destroy the Skyrail, which is simply... hey.

In front of him, both magic and divine power seem so powerless."

After the voice fell, Doctor Fate pondered for a moment, and then waved his hands.

After a moment, the fragments of fate enveloped the entire room, and Doctor Fate continued.

"However, Diana, through the actions of the dead today, I seem to have discovered some clues.

Or maybe I was wrong, anyway, let me tell you my thoughts."

At this point, Doctor Fate took off his helmet tiredly and sat on the sofa.

With a wave of his hand, he took a glass of sweet wine and continued to speak while drinking it.

"Before, we always considered him as a god, but we couldn't find any clues.

So, I had to wonder if there was something wrong with our starting point.

Until today, when I saw Downton constantly emphasizing his human identity and the difference between him and the gods on TV, I felt a different sense of familiarity.

But at that time, I was worried that it might be my preconceived notions, so I didn't talk to you about it.

Until today, after this ridiculous battle, when I heard the Gotham police talking about the dead, I seemed to have really grasped that flash of inspiration!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Diana's eyes lit up and she quickly asked Doctor Fate.

"Kent, who do you think he is?"

"I think he is Nimrod, a human in the Golden Age, the master of the Tower of Babel, and an absolute human supremacist.

That is, the King of Kings with the title of Hero King, the ancient legendary human who was called the first hero by later generations!"

After the voice fell, Doctor Fate exhaled heavily.

On the bed not far away, Diana sat up in surprise and asked Doctor Fate in disbelief.

"How is this possible? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?

I know the legend of that person, but he is just a human being after all, and he doesn't have the ability to come back to life!"

"But God has the ability to give him all the talents he has now, Ms. Diana!"

Doctor Fate interrupted Diana and reminded her sternly.

"Don't forget that he once had a conversation with God, so think about it carefully. Apart from legendary humans like Adam and Noah, who else is qualified to talk to God?"

"But..."

"I think there is no but in academic issues. Don't forget what the police said today, Diana.

The police clearly said that after the ghosts started to make trouble, the crime rate in the whole Gotham decreased, and it seemed that there was only one criminal left in Gotham, Downton.

Although this behavior is different from the story, think about it again. The hero king also tried to unite all mankind by building the Tower of Babel in the past, and let the gods see the wisdom and greatness of mankind by looking up at the Tower of Babel.

But in the end, the Tower of Babel was overthrown by God, and mankind was scattered, speaking different languages, having different cultures, and could no longer unite.

Now, the ghost no longer attempts to build the tallest tower in the world, but he also concentrates all the sins of Gotham on himself. His actions have indeed made Gotham enter the short-lived In unity!

Look at the streets now, gangs and citizens work together, super villains and super heroes have to sit together to eat pizza and drink beer.

In the face of his destructive power, the boundaries between good and evil are gradually blurring, and all that remains is the identity of human beings and the rapidly rising cohesion, and the disasters and fears he brings to the world seem to have become the Tower of Babel of the new era!

Although there are still countless contradictions in such a Gotham, all his actions are actually making Gotham gradually cohesive!

Then, even if Nimrod in the Bible never had the same ability as Downton, I have to associate them together, because what he is doing is obviously what the hero king wants to do most! "

"But how can the hero king take the initiative to destroy the city? In the myth, he is a lover of construction. Isn't the Tower of Babel the evidence? "

"So, after the Tower of Babel was overthrown by God, can the hero king not change his own code of conduct? "

Dr. Fate interrupted Diana and shook his head.

"Especially after he died as punishment by God for his failure in building the tower, if I were him, I would probably want to announce my return by overthrowing the tower!

Look, if I think about it this way, he seems to be getting closer and closer to my goal."

At this point, Doctor Fate shrugged at Diana, and Diana couldn't help but fall silent.

After a long time, Diana finally asked Kent in a low voice.

"So, we are preventing a hero king from uniting all mankind in his own way?"

"No, we are just stopping a madman from ancient times from using his power to bring about changes that may not be so good in the world that is already good enough today!"

Kent emphasized his words, and then clapped his hands.

"Ms. Diana, don't doubt your purpose no matter what. If you really can't control it, just think of the crying children in the empty rail.

Regardless of whether Downton thinks what he is doing is right or wrong, what he is about to do has already affected the normal operation of the entire Gotham and even half of the United States, and he is destined to affect the lives of more innocent people in the future.

Therefore, we must not shrink from Him! "

"But even if your guess about Downton's identity is correct, we can't find any possible weaknesses in Downton!

Why, do we also have to pray to God and ask him to give the hero king you guessed another dimensionality reduction blow? "

Diana shook her head and responded. She really couldn't think of any possible way to defeat Downton right now.

And Dr. Fate…

In response to Diana's question, he thoughtfully pointed his finger at the sleeping Zatanna.

“It’s true that we can’t stop Downton himself, but we…maybe we can destroy Downton’s destiny.

This is an inspiration that Zatanna brought to me. Remember what she said before, if there are no sky rails in Gotham, wouldn't Downton be able to destroy the rails?

This approach seems to have no actual harm to Downton, and even... we have even helped Downton in some ways.

But we might as well assume that what if the destruction of the empty track is really important to Downton?

In that case, what if we did it for Downton, and let the damage happen to us in the smallest possible way before he wanted to cause it?

Even if this kind of thing cannot bring additional harm to Downton, we can definitely change the fate of Downton itself through this kind of behavior! "

Having said this, Dr. Destiny slammed his palm heavily.

"Yes, it's like we go back to the time before the Tower of Babel and build our own Tower of Babel before the King of Heroes.

In that case, before the heroic king from ancient times had the idea of ​​building a tower, we could be punished by God on his behalf!

In this way, Nimrod's fate also changed with our early action.

Although this change may be a good thing for Downton, we are at least qualified to change him instead of being led by his nose like we are now, right? "

After finishing his words, Dr. Destiny looked at Diana expectantly.

Facing Kent's gaze, Diana took a deep breath, and then said with heavy eyes.

“I still don’t think Downton will be Nimrod, because I always feel that ability proves his identity more than purpose.

Nimrod doesn't have Downton's powers, so they should be two people, and we're far from figuring out all the myths.

But... Downton is destroying it every day, but there's nothing I can do about it.

Since you can come up with a solution at this time, no matter how absurd the solution is, I wouldn't mind trying it with you! "

Having said this, Diana united the front with Dr. Fate with firm eyes.

After receiving Diana's approval, Dr. Fate nodded with satisfaction and continued.

"That's great, Diana, then let me tell you my next plan.

I have seen from destiny that Downton will overthrow the Wayne Tower in Gotham City one day in the future, and this is also a destiny scene that the God of Naboo considers very important.

Then, let’s not wait until Downton takes action against Wayne Tower before we stand up and defend passively.

This time we will take the initiative to demolish Wayne Tower to change the fate of Downton!

If we take action, we can even guarantee that no one will die.

I can move everyone out of the collapse range, and even leave the dust to Zatanna to deal with.

In this way, we can test Downton to the greatest extent with minimal losses.

Regardless of whether he is the person I guessed, the changing fate will also allow him to reveal more of himself, giving us a better chance to glimpse his true identity.

So, Diana, if you have no other opinions, let's launch a raid on Wayne Tower after midnight tonight! "

"I have to admit, I'm convinced by you, Doctor!"

Diana nodded heavily.

"Anyway, I have no other choice, so let's set the target at Wayne Tower.

As long as we don't hurt others, it's just a building and the Wayne Group will not hurt our bones.

What's more, if the plan to demolish Wayne Tower really brings trouble to Downton, I'm afraid the Wayne Group will also take the initiative to destroy Wayne Tower. After all, they must be more afraid of Downton than us! "
