Chapter 62
“What the fuck?!”
Seeing the Messiah on the screen suddenly say that he would rule the world, the pedestrians on the road almost fell down on the spot and couldn't help but scream in surprise.
"Is it April Fools' Day? World domination? Are you kidding me?"
"OMG...wasn't he the one who ripped out the heart of the UN ambassador?"
"Isn't the Messiah a superhero? I was saved by him before. Why is he suddenly trying to rule the world?"
"Wow, so we're getting a new leader? What he said about criminals getting their comeuppance seems pretty good."
"If peace can really be achieved, I support the Messiah ruling the world... The Messiah once saved me from a bomb, and I believe in him. It is better to be ruled by the Messiah than to be killed by a bomb."
Some people thought it was a joke, some were praying for it to come true, some were exclaiming, some were laughing, some were cursing, and some were praying to God.
All over the world, different people are discussing the same thing.
Many different voices came into the Messiah's ears, and the different opinions of the people were heard clearly by the Messiah who always had super hearing.
Support and opposition, hatred and joy, anger and laughter.
Messiah stared into the invisible camera, his snow-white eyelashes trembling slightly, blocking the emotions in his eyes.
It turns out that this is what the Superman of the previous world experienced.
Messiah thought that at this moment, perhaps he understood the Supreme Leader a little, but he would never be able to understand him.
Batman looked at the live broadcast on the Batcomputer. The Messiah's face was exposed to the camera, and his cold expression and murderous intent were clearly revealed.
Everyone knows that Messiah Todd Wayne is Bruce Wayne's adopted son and the third son of the Wayne family. After Messiah's true identity is revealed, Batman's true identity is also in jeopardy.
But Batman didn't care at all about his true identity being exposed at the moment, and only focused on looking at the Messiah.
The Messiah was his child, his responsibility, and he had to stop the Messiah before anything happened.
The door of the returning Batfighter slowly opened, revealing the Hellbat armor in front of Batman, and Batman's expression became extremely determined.
"…Oh my goodness, Master Bruce, I think you have to take a look at this."
Alfred exclaimed in surprise. He was always calm and composed, but in these few days he had expressed all the exclamations in his life.
Batman paused as he walked towards the Batfighter, frowned at Alfred, and then his pupils suddenly contracted as he stared in astonishment at the file that Alfred had retrieved from the Batcomputer.
In the Wayne family's family member information, the existence of the Messiah disappeared!
Batman swooped over to the Batcomputer, frowned, and called up a series of information, but whether it was the city government or the GCPD's internal archives, or even the information in the Batcave, the Wayne family only had two children.
Even searching Wikipedia and various news reports, there is no trace of Messiah being related to the Wayne family.
—as if he had never adopted the Messiah, had never had this child.
The Justice League's communications rang at the same moment.
"Hey, B, who is this Messiah? Why did he suddenly go crazy and kill the Joker, and suddenly want to rule the world?"
Green Lantern's complaint came from the communication: "Is he from Gotham? Your Gotham is really a place of talented people."
"Stop talking, genius." The Flash was surrounded by the sound of fierce wind as he ran quickly towards Gotham. "Bat must be very annoyed right now. If you keep talking, be careful that Bat will hang you in the Hall of Justice, hahahaha."
Superman's voice was very helpless: "The Messiah incident scared those people in Congress. They stopped me from leaving, as if they were afraid that the Justice League would also rule the world with the Messiah. But I haven't even seen the Messiah."
Listening to the voice in the communicator, how could Batman not realize the truth? The Messiah not only erased their relationship in the legal sense, but also erased other people's memories.
Batman's expression was tense, and he squeezed out a word almost through gritted teeth: "It's no one else, the Messiah is my child."
"What?!"
Exclamations rang out one after another in the communication channel.
Batman simply hung up the communication and spoke to the air: "Messiah, I know you can hear me."
"You can't erase the connection between us. I don't need you to keep my true identity a secret. The fact that you are my child will never change, and it has never been a concern for me."
"Restore it, Messiah," Batman said. "You are my child."
Messiah seemed not to hear Batman's voice. He looked up at the sky covered by a golden film and felt that it was time.
"Now, I will judge the sinners of Gotham." Messiah said coldly and calmly to the camera, "All those who dare to commit crimes, this is your future."
"After I judge Gotham, I will judge the entire Earth."
Messiah raised his palm upwards, and the golden code that had been floating in his palm was exposed in the center of the camera, attracting the attention of everyone watching the live broadcast.
The Golden Codex floated into the sky under the power of Messiah, flying higher and higher in the sky, and finally stopped in the center of Gotham, and then suddenly expanded.
A huge golden code with strange patterns on it floated above Gotham. The people of Gotham subconsciously stopped and looked up at the golden code.
The Messiah's voice broke through the live broadcast screen, spreading throughout Gotham, and echoed over Gotham:
"This is the time of judgment."
Lines of brilliant golden words lit up on the golden code - that was the standard of judgment created by the Messiah. The words floated out from the code and hovered in the sky of Gotham.
Numerous golden threads extended from the code, falling like rain.
A golden rain fell over Gotham. No matter whether they were indoors or outdoors, no one could escape the rain of golden threads and could only watch as the golden threads penetrated into their bodies.
Some people wanted to resist, but found that their bodies could not move. They could only stand there and allow their memories to be searched.
The power that Messiah used to manipulate the golden thread was no longer as brutal as it had been in Arkham. It gently flipped through the memories of the people of Gotham without causing them any pain.
The memory was transmitted back to the code along the golden thread. The code was judging their crimes. As long as someone committed a crime, the corresponding words floating above Gotham would light up.
Pale golden words lit up one after another, and there was not a single word that was not lit up. Even the judgment clauses for "robbery" and "theft" had lit up to a level brighter than the sun.
…This is very Gotham.
The gold in Messiah's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and countless criminal memories entered his brain through the code.
The trial provisions in the code are not perfect. He must absorb more real-life criminal cases to improve the trial standards.
Some people have done many evil things, but at the same time they have also done many good things. How can good and evil offset each other?
If someone violates the law and does evil in order to do good, how should he be judged?
What should be done with those who have done many evil things and now repent?
The Messiah was constantly thinking.
He continued to absorb these memories filled with blood and pain, and witnessed a lot of suffering and a lot of ugliness.
"How pathetic..." A golden tear fell from the corner of Messiah's eye. His words were filled with compassion, but his expression was extremely indifferent. "It's time to atone for this."
Tim was at the border of Gotham and Metropolis. Many people who wanted to escape from Gotham but were blocked by the golden film were blocked here. Only a few people were able to get out through the golden film.
Tim is one of those few people, but he doesn't want to leave Gotham just like that.
Tim was suddenly able to move. He subconsciously looked at the golden thread that had penetrated his arm. The golden thread dissipated under his gaze. After dissipating, the golden thread turned into a warm force that flowed into his body, silently dispelling his fatigue and negative emotions.
Feeling his body suddenly relaxed, Tim couldn't help but open his eyes wide, but when he looked around, he found that there were very few people like him, and most people were still controlled by the golden thread.
All over Gotham, the same scene kept happening. Some people's fatigue was dispelled by the disappearing golden thread, while others' bodies were controlled by the lingering golden thread.
"Everyone who can move, leave Gotham as soon as possible!"
Batgirl's shout was heard, and Tim subconsciously looked up and saw Batgirl and Batwoman trying to maintain order.
Many people who were able to move ran out of Gotham according to their instructions, but Tim gritted his teeth and ran in the completely opposite direction.
The Messiah floated above Gotham, looking at the miniature of Gotham below, and stretched out his hand towards the empty Gotham below.
In an instant, golden light became brighter.
Thousands of golden words flew down and entered the bodies of different people. Some people only received one, but some received hundreds.
It was an extremely spectacular and shocking sight. The falling golden stripes dyed all of Gotham golden.
"The defendant, Jonathan Crane, killed 113 people, caused 457 mental breakdowns, caused 78 suicides, and robbed property worth a total of $50 million.
You are now sentenced to death 191 times, to reincarnate 457 times in horrible things, and all your property shall be used to compensate those who suffer losses.
Execution.”
"The defendant, John Bogle, killed one person and robbed property totaling $300,000.
I hereby sentence you to use all your property to compensate the victims for the losses.
Execution.”
"The person on trial, Selina Kyle, killed one evil person to protect others, saving 361 lives and preventing 161 crimes. She stole property worth a total of $70 million, but someone compensated the owners for a total of $72 million. She also used $67 million of the stolen property to help others.
Good outweighs evil.
Cancel the trial and release the accused."
"The person on trial, Catherine Beatty, hired assassins to kill 14 people, causing the bankruptcy of two financial groups and the loss of 1,572 jobs.
You are now sentenced to death 14 times, the group under your name will be confiscated, and your property will be used to compensate 1,572 people for unemployment and build Gotham.
Erasing consciousness, maintaining the group's operations, and safeguarding rule."
The live camera was focused on the people being tried, and their crimes appeared on the screen one by one.
The trial began.
Some people screamed in pain and were killed again and again in the illusion, but their fixed bodies prevented them from even rolling on the ground.
Some people lost consciousness and stood there mechanically.
Some people raised their eyebrows in surprise, watching the golden thread dissipate and regain their freedom.
Some people exclaimed in surprise when they found that money had been deposited into their bank accounts.
Some people lay in hospital beds, watching the perpetrators screaming in pain on the screen and laughing heartily.
The golden rain kept falling without stopping.
The Messiah watches the different judgments taking place simultaneously, all of which are carried out based on his personal understanding and knowledge.
Is this all correct?
Will there be any errors in it?
Does he have the right to judge others?
The Messiah did not know.
But he could hear some people laughing heartily, some cheering, some fearing the judgment that would come upon them, and some stopping the evil deeds they were about to commit.
That's enough.
The Messiah stood under the golden sky, thinking calmly, whether he was right or wrong, whether the judgment was too heavy or too weak.
As long as there is peace on earth, everything is fine.
