Chapter 59: Cosplaying Damian, having just escaped death, now faces another life-or-death situation...

Beyond the world, the coordinates left by Wen Yue on Damian echoed with alarms, indicating that Damian was facing a life-or-death crisis.

A damaged body cannot withstand a powerful soul; the gentle soul, beyond its control, leaves the body, transcending dimensional constraints to trace its origins. Coordinates become the seeds that fix the soul, allowing the wandering, rootless soul to find its home.

Wen Yue opened her eyes and found herself standing in the magnificent and imposing hall of the watchtower. Players who possessed detailed blueprints of the watchtower knew its interior design and structure well. The distinctive color scheme and the pristine white decor indicated that this watchtower was unique.

In front of Wen Yue, a faint red light flickered in the eyes of the Unjust Superman, a sign that he was about to use his heat vision.

"Damian, it really was you. You really betrayed me." Bu Yichao's face was cold and stern, his tone calm and indifferent as he stated his judgment. His deep gaze held a condescending scrutiny, and an invisible killing intent quietly permeated the stagnant atmosphere.

The heroes of the Injustice League stood in the hall, silent as can be. These heroes, known for their bravery and unwavering commitment to justice, dared not utter a word, casting silent gazes like empty, hollow statues.

"What did you say?" Wen Yue was confused. Had she become Damian?

I was trying to help remotely, but instead I ended up being sent to the guillotine by someone else's help?

This "God-like" cheat is so difficult to use and doesn't even come with an instruction manual. While the omniscient perspective is great, the side effects have caused several blunders. Wen Yue left Damian's coordinates before, and now she's directly put the player inside Damian's body. Where is the real Damian?

"Huh?" Bu Yichao was stunned. He felt that something was wrong.

"What do you mean by what I asked you? How did I betray you? Explain yourself clearly." Having just escaped the heat vision of Doomsday, now facing the heat vision of Injustice Superior, one act ends and the other begins. Is this heat vision thing going to continue? Having just escaped death, now entering a life-or-death situation, please let the player die knowing why.

"Didn't you just say that you did it?" Bu Yi Chao's mind was blank. Damian didn't play by the rules. He had just admitted to it, so why was he changing his mind now?

"What did I do? I don't admit it." Wen Yue denied all the facts in a nonchalant tone. Whether Damian did it or not, she didn't know, but it certainly wasn't the players, and the players wouldn't admit it.

"You tipped off Batman?" The player's self-righteous attitude made Bu Yi Chao a little insecure.

"I didn't tip off Batman, do you have any proof? Don't just make things up." If she got caught red-handed, Wen Yue would really be helpless. Otherwise, she could use the converter to escape with Damian, but the player secretly searched her entire body and couldn't even find a trace of the converter. Her escape plan was forced to collapse midway; it was better to honestly assess the situation and prioritize survival. She wasn't using a player's body now; she had to survive this life-or-death situation.

"No, but you just said you did it..." Seeing the player searching his body, Bu Yi was confused and hesitated to speak.

“Then I’ll say no now.” Wen Yue immediately changed her tune decisively. Her unreasonable attitude opened the eyes of Bu Yichao, who had never experienced the Fourth Calamity. Caught off guard, he was momentarily stunned.

Bu Yichao felt like his super brain had frozen a bit, falling into an eerie silence: "..." No, it can be like this?

Having bought herself some time, Wen Yue found Damian's true soul in the ocean of spirituality. However, the original owner of this body's soul fell into a deep sleep, just like Dick had been. Perhaps one body couldn't bear two souls, causing one soul to relinquish control of the body, allowing the body to forcibly accommodate both souls through a state of slumber.

Wen Yue's fingertips lightly touched Damian's soul, granting him access to Damian's recent memories, just as she had previously gained access to the fragments of the world within her clone.

Upon returning to the Injustice world, Damian and Nightwing Dick landed at Damian's residence within the Injustice League. Patrolling soldiers worked diligently day and night, and Dick, who had seemingly appeared out of nowhere, remained hidden away in Damian's luxurious home, unknown to anyone of his resurrection.

Coincidentally, the Injustice League's security was less stringent than usual today, so Damian took the opportunity to secretly send Nightwing Dick out of the Injustice League. During the operation, he received news from Injustice Super, who had discovered traces of a resistance base established by Batman.

Having learned of the situation while with Damian, Nightwing decides to contact Batman and evacuate the Rebel base with him before the Alliance forces arrive. Damian, however, chooses to stay behind.

So when Injustice assembled his army to besiege the Rebel Alliance, he discovered that Batman and the Rebels had already left. The Rebel base was empty, with only scattered discarded documents proving that they had hastily retreated. A timed self-destruct sequence then destroyed all traces, making further investigation impossible.

At the same time, Injustice received another message from his mole within the Resistance: there was a mole within the League, and the mysterious person who was informing Batman had two sticks strapped to his back and had a long-standing, close relationship with Batman.

Injustice turned his gaze to the only remaining member of the Bat Family present, his eyes landing on Damian's back, who had stopped carrying his Cali Stick at some point. Faced with Injustice's accusations, Damian jumped out and immediately admitted to the crime, thus creating the crisis that the player witnessed the moment they opened their eyes.

Once the player understands the cause and effect, their tension eases, and the breakthrough point arrives—

"Were you trying to kill me just now? I never expected that a simple basic attack would trick you into revealing your heat vision." At this moment, she absolutely could not show any weakness. Wen Yue's attitude was Damian's usual arrogance, her fists clenched tightly, her acting was spot on.

Faced with the facts, the injustice is beyond redemption, and the players will not give him a chance to speak.

"Having two sticks strapped to your back doesn't necessarily mean it's me; it could be Deathstroke, or even Dick. And you, hearing about the sticks, immediately suspect me—that's a clear indication of your suspicion. There's absolutely no trust between us. If you want to fire me, just say so. I won't pester you; I'll leave decisively." Wen Yue could actually leave on her own; there was no need for the Unjust Alliance to send the player away. The player had reasonable suspicions about the Unjust Alliance; instead of resigning, they chose to die.

At this point, it's necessary to explain why Damian readily admitted to being an undercover agent. This can be explained as Damian's impulsive and thoughtless words in the face of suspicion and injustice, packaging it as a manifestation of Damian's insecurity.

"Your doubt in my gaze just now truly broke my heart. All along, I thought I had met someone who truly understood and accepted me, but it turns out it was all just wishful thinking. I thought you supported and trusted me, but it turns out it was all support except for help, and all trust except for good deeds. So, in your eyes, there's nothing I wouldn't do, is there?" The player waved his hand resolutely, indignantly denouncing the unjust overlord.

"I broke with Batman when you were clearing out Arkham, just to tip you off. When Batman arranged for a fake Hawkgirl to infiltrate the Justice League, I saw through the truth and proactively reminded you, exposing the mole's identity and thwarting Batman's plot." The player spoke with facts, confirming that Damian had never betrayed Injustice before; on the contrary, he had helped Injustice a great deal.

"Yes, I'm a beast, but I've never wronged you." This line from the player is the decisive blow; it's truly heartbreaking.

Looking back at the past, the filial son betrayed the old bat without any mercy, and now, the unjustly abandoned by the unjustly.

The player's words were filled with bitterness: "I gave up inheriting the family business to fight alongside you all the way. You started from scratch, and I offered advice; you were betrayed, but I never abandoned you. And now, what did I do wrong? The only mistake I made was not seeing through your heart sooner. If you didn't like me, you should have said so earlier, instead of wasting my youth. The vows we made were just an act, and I've been acting all this way until now. Is it fun?"

As Wen Yue played Damian, she became more and more engrossed in the role, resolutely and with a sense of relief removing the domino mask from her face and throwing it heavily to the ground without hesitation, as if she were saying a complete goodbye to the past.

Some people took off their masks, while others returned to their true selves.

The player's performance has no limitations; even Damian's body cannot stop the acting beast from improvising.

Thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and broken disappointment and sorrow filled his emerald green eyes, which were like pool water. Player Damian's voice was choked with barely suppressed sobs: "I didn't get a single bit of the immense wealth, but all the blame was placed on me."

"As expected, things that are free and easily obtained are worthless and won't be cherished." The player gently turned their head away, tears streaming down their face like pearls. So broken, so sorrowful, so heartbreaking!

"..." Bu Yichao pursed his lips, his outstretched hand slowly falling back down, momentarily speechless. He suddenly felt utterly ashamed; how could he have been so blinded by greed, doubting Damian, who had steadfastly chosen his side from the beginning? He couldn't imagine how heartbroken Damian must have been to utter those hurtful words.

Green Lantern slowly withdrew his hand, which had been subtly urging Flash not to act impulsively. The two exchanged a glance, then stood silently to the side as if nothing had happened. At this point, it seemed there was no need for Flash to intervene.

Injustice's communicator rang, an emergency alert from one of his undercover agents who had infiltrated the resistance within Batman's ranks. Without bothering anyone around, Injustice answered the call immediately.

"Chairman, Nightwing has discovered my identity and is currently chasing me. It has been confirmed that Nightwing was the one who tipped off Batman... Ah!" A heavy thud came from the other end of the phone, followed by the scraping sound of the communicator rolling against the wall.

Then came the sound of footsteps approaching slowly. Someone walked to the communicator and picked it up, which was still connected.

"Listen up, you over there. I'm usually the friendly one, everyone says so, but if anyone dares to mess with Batman, I'll fight you to the death. I mean what I say." Nightwing's sexy yet cool voice came from the other end of the line, accompanied by the cracking sound of something being crushed, and the communication abruptly ended.

—The eldest brother of the Bat family crushed the communicator with his bare hands, and Robin, despite growing up, is still incredibly strong.

Someone else had tipped them off; the truth came out, and Damian was exonerated. An eerie silence fell, and the Alliance members' gazes lingered on Damian and Bu Yi Chao, the atmosphere suddenly becoming somewhat strange.

A player cosplaying Damian, clutching his aching heart, exclaimed, "I thought I was the male lead in a coming-of-age drama, but it turns out I'm the clown in a family drama."

Seizing the opportunity while Bu Yichao was momentarily stunned, the player preemptively struck, sneering and then turning the tables on him: "Dick, you resurrected him, didn't you? You've been keeping him by your side these past few days, which is why he knows so much about our plans. I've seen through you now, you're a heartless person! You're so high and mighty, you use me for diplomacy, and you flirt with Batman while I'm doing this, you probably can't help but laugh when you think about it at night."

"No..." Damian's name had been completely cleared, and Dick's resurrection had nothing to do with Injustice. Injustice now understood that the only one who could possibly and had the ability to resurrect Dick was Batman, and he realized he might have fallen for Batman's divisive tactics. Injustice was about to admit his mistake: "I'm sorry, Damian, I..."

"Damian, where's your Cali Stick?" Wonder Woman Diana suddenly spoke up, interrupting Injustice's bowed head.

Diana's words hit the nail on the head. Everyone knew that Damian had always kept Dick's Kalili Staff safe and carried it with him. If it was really Damian, he would be in real trouble here, because Damian had returned the Kalili Staff to Nightwing, and now Damian indeed did not have the Kalili Staff on him.
