Messiah tilted his head. "Talk...?"

Before he could respond to Batman, a large hand cupped Messiah's shoulders, and Superman's shadow was cast over Messiah, blocking out all light.

Superman protected Messiah behind him, and kept his right hand on Messiah's shoulder, as if protecting and controlling him.

"He doesn't need it, Bat." Superman's expression darkened a little, and he said firmly, "He is my assistant. I will protect him."

Batman's mouth was straight, and no one knew what this man who hid his true emotions behind the mask was thinking. All they could see was his tense jaw.

The next second, the red sun grenade exploded, and the strong red sunlight burst out, and the small space of the interrogation room was completely covered by the red sunlight.

Batman punched Superman in the face. Superman, who was caught off guard and weakened by the red sunlight, was knocked back a step. He looked at Batman in disbelief at his sudden attack.

Superman never expected that Batman would attack him, and he was not on guard against Batman from beginning to end.

Just as Batman did not expect Superman to refuse his conversation on behalf of the Messiah, he believed from the beginning to the end that Superman would not actively control the Messiah and believed that the Messiah would be given the freedom to choose.

"You actually attacked me..."

Batman seemed indifferent to Superman's reaction. After knocking Superman down with a skillful move, he looked down at the weak Superman lying on the ground and said in an inhuman and cold voice: "You need to calm down, Superman."

Then, without even looking at Superman, Batman walked towards the bewildered Messiah.

The interrogation room was dead silent, with the crisp sound of the bat armors colliding being particularly obvious. Superman supported his weak body and stared at Batman and Messiah.

Messiah tilted his head, looking at Batman who had suddenly defeated Superman, feeling a little confused. He had already dealt with Harley Quinn, so why did Batman still oppose Superman?

Batman's behavior is illogical and unreasonable in his eyes, and he cannot understand why Batman is hostile to Superman.

If it's still because of the so-called "no-killing principle", Messiah doesn't think it's worth Batman and Superman fighting.

Messiah does not believe in the "no-kill principle" that Batman is adhering to. He believes that the Son of Tomorrow will become the current Superman, and Batman will become the same one day.

The result is the same anyway. It is unnecessary for Batman to still insist on the "no killing principle". Why not just go straight to the point and start killing people?

Messiah looked at the approaching Batman. He wanted Batman to take fewer detours, so he took the initiative to speak before Batman opened his mouth, and sincerely suggested: "You too, come on."

Batman frowned silently, confused by the Messiah's incoherent speech. He carefully observed the expression on Messiah's face, trying to infer Messiah's intentions.

The white-blond boy was surprisingly easy to understand. His emotions were not disguised at all, and his joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness were all written on his face. You could see through him at a glance.

Batman saw sincerity on the Messiah's face, but he couldn't understand what this sincerity was directed at.

"you……"

Batman wanted to speak again, but Superman, who was staring at his back, could no longer bear it and shouted the name of the Messiah.

"Messiah!" Superman stared at the Messiah's face and said word by word, "Come to me."

Batman has always been able to fascinate children, especially teenage boys. Basically no one can resist Batman's charm, and one after another has become Batman's assistant.

Superman doesn't want to take that risk.

Messiah and he were both survivors of the metropolis, and Messiah was born to be on his side.

The red sunlight has weakened over time, and Superman has gradually adapted to his weak body. He can actually get up by himself, but he doesn't intend to do so.

Superman stared at the Messiah's face. Batman betrayed him and chose the Joker, and he would not allow the Messiah to betray him and choose Batman.

He was right and Batman was wrong, and he would prove it.

"Messiah," Superman repeated, "Come to me and take me away."

Messiah looked at Superman, then at Batman, and decided to talk to Batman first and then take Superman away.

"Kid, Messiah, I know you are a gifted child with great powers."

Batman turned off the voice changer of his Batsuit, and his low, hoarse voice turned into a gentle, magnetic male voice: "Perhaps you can see that Superman has temporarily lost his mind. He needs our help."

"Superman needs you, and I need you too. Together we can turn Superman back to his original form."

In front of the Messiah, Batman showed a soft side that was completely different from the cold and hard side he had just shown when facing Superman, and began to use his rhetoric to win back one wild bird after another.

——Batman’s talk level is a kind of Schrödinger’s phenomenon that decreases as the age of the person he is talking to increases.

Batman knew that he was a stranger to the Messiah, and Gotham and Gotham's Batman had never had a good reputation. If he wanted to convince the Messiah, he could only start with Superman.

Anyone who has seen the bright and brilliant God on earth will not be able to easily accept the current Superman.

...At least that's what he thought.

Batman stretched out his hand, and the black tactical glove stopped in front of Messiah, waiting for Messiah's response.

The Messiah tilted his head, looked at Batman's outstretched hand, then looked at Batman's face hidden behind the lead mask, and did not shake Batman's outstretched hand.

The face hidden by the bat mask belongs to Bruce Wayne, the richest man in Gotham, chairman of Wayne Group, and Gotham's playboy, Bruce Baby.

Messiah seemed to have not heard Batman's words at all, and once again sincerely advised Batman: "No, there is no point in insisting."

"Superman, rational, killing, good for you."

Batman frowned silently, his expression serious for a moment.

Messiah's words not only confirmed that there was indeed a problem with Messiah's language ability, but also made him finally understand what Messiah meant.

——The Messiah is urging him to kill.

Batman was silent for a moment. He thought that the Messiah still couldn't give up his worship of Superman, so he stood on Superman's side and tried to persuade him to join them.

Superman obviously understood the same thing. His expression relaxed a little, and he retracted the movement that was about to stand up, continuing to pretend to be weak.

However, Batman always felt that there was some inconsistency in the conclusion he came to. He seemed to have overlooked something, but he could not grasp the vague thread.

Messiah thought he had finished talking, and looking at Batman who was still unnecessarily insisting on the "no killing principle", he decided to respect the fate of others.

So he ended the conversation and turned to Superman.

After seeing the Messiah walking towards him, Superman's expression completely brightened.

He was very satisfied.

Messiah pulled Superman up from the ground and picked up the Superman princess without changing his expression.

Superman is more than 20 centimeters taller than Messiah and weighs twice as much as Messiah. The picture of the slender boy carrying the muscular man in his arms like a princess looks very funny, but Messiah does not think there is anything wrong with it.

"Messiah……"

Superman was forced to lean on Messiah's "broad" shoulders. His eyes became much clearer, and the gloomy and cold oppressive feeling just now disappeared. He lowered his voice and said, "Put me down..."

He resisted the urge to cover his face with his hands, not daring to look at Batman's expression as he witnessed this scene.

Messiah shook his head seriously and said solemnly, "I'll take you away."

Obviously, Messiah didn't think there was anything wrong with this action. Superman had caught him in this way before when he jumped from the building, and now he wanted to take Superman away, so he naturally imitated Superman's action at that time.

Princess Messiah held Superman in her arms and used the super speed she learned from Superman to fly out of the interrogation room like a gust of wind. Her superhuman speed made it impossible for Batman to stop her.

The dispute caused by the nuclear explosion in the metropolis ended in an unexpectedly embarrassing way.

Batman stood in front of the hole in the interrogation room, with two corpses still bleeding at his feet. He silently looked at the two figures disappearing in the sky, his lips opened and closed twice, but in the end he said nothing.

Once away from Gotham Prison, Superman tries to get the Messiah to let him go.

"Messiah, release..."

However, he had only said half of his words when a red, blue, and gold figure rapidly approached them in the clouds.

"Clark..." The beautiful and aggressive demigod stopped in front of them, looking at Superman leaning in the Messiah's arms with complicated eyes, and said hesitantly, "Are you... injured?"

The person who came was Wonder Woman, an Amazon warrior from Paradise Island, daughter of Zeus, the king of Olympus, and the Amazon Queen, a member of the Justice League, and a friend of Superman and Batman.

Superman didn't expect Wonder Woman to see this. He coughed awkwardly twice and quickly left the Messiah's arms. He folded his arms and hovered in the air, pretending nothing had happened and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, Diana."

"I was just temporarily affected by the red sunlight."

After confirming that Superman was not injured, Wonder Woman looked at the Messiah and asked hesitantly, "Are you...?"

A survivor of Metropolis?

She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not utter the name, as this word was an insult to both Superman and the Messiah.

Superman answered Wonder Woman's question directly for the Messiah: "Yes, he is."

Messiah pointed at himself in confusion: "I am?"

Superman reached out and ruffled Messiah's hair, forcing a gentle smile on his face: "You are my...family, Messiah."

"There's only you and me in Metropolis. From now on, you'll stay by my side and I'll protect you."

Messiah calmly looked at Superman who had made the decision for him, his eyes as clear as a mirror, reflecting Superman's distorted face.

Under Superman's expectant gaze, the Messiah did not give Superman the reaction he wanted.

Superman doesn't impress Messiah as much as he thought he would, and Messiah is unmoved by his talk of "family" and "protection."

...like a heartless monster.

Superman's expression darkened for a moment, but he quickly relaxed again. He smiled and said in an unquestionable tone, "You'll stay with me from now on, and I'll introduce you to Jonathan and Martha—my parents."

Without asking Messiah's opinion, Superman made the decision for Messiah. He muttered, "Shouldn't the adoption process be troublesome? I want to ask Jonathan and Martha how they went about it."

Messiah stared quietly at the Superman in front of him, as if he saw a twisting and spinning dark vortex.

He suddenly felt a little curious.

What will become of the Superman who once said, "No one can force you to do anything, not even me"?

Wonder Woman hesitated to speak, but ultimately said nothing.

"Clark, I'm sorry about what happened with Lois and Metropolis." Wonder Woman patted Superman on the shoulder, "But you need to cheer up. The world still needs you to save it."

Then, Wonder Woman flew close to Messiah. She looked into Messiah's confused face and whispered, "I'm sorry."

For choosing Superman for her, and for her indifference.

"If you need anything, I'll help you."

There was calmness in Messiah's golden eyes. He looked at Wonder Woman with clear eyes, as if he could see through her thoughts.

He shook his head slowly and uttered a few words slowly: "No need."

Wonder Woman didn't know whether the Messiah didn't need her apology or didn't need her help. She was silent for a moment and didn't ask any further questions.

The Lasso of Truth hanging around Wonder Woman's waist dimmed for a moment, barely perceptible.

"Let's go, Messiah." Superman seemed unaware of Messiah's indifference and Wonder Woman's remorse. He reached out and grabbed Messiah's arm. "I'll take you... to see Metropolis again."

【Author’s words】

The love line of Unrighteousness is really outrageous and OOC...
