Chapter 93
As soon as the words fell, before the Amazon Queen and Aquaman had time to react, the Messiah disappeared from their sight.
The Amazon Queen felt a chill on her back, and subconsciously thrust her Vulcan sword backwards, but it seemed as if it was stuck in a soft cloud and could not move forward an inch.
A hand gently placed on the back of the Amazon Queen's head, and then a golden light lit up in the palm of the hand. Warm and holy power flowed along the white palm into the Amazon Queen's brain.
In Messiah's vision, the Amazon Queen's brain was filled with thick black fog, but unlike the Ghost King and others, there was a dim golden halo in the Amazon Queen's brain that helped her dispel the black fog.
It's the Lasso of Truth.
The Lasso of Truth has been helping its owner regain consciousness, but...
Messiah's gaze lingered for a moment on the green smoke in the Amazon Queen's brain. The reason why the Lasso of Truth hadn't worked was because this green smoke had been helping the black fog to erode her brain.
“Ahhhhhhh!!!”
The Amazon Queen suddenly roared, and golden light flowed into her brain along Messiah's palm, purifying the black fog in her mind bit by bit.
Aquaman looked at this scene in horror, subconsciously clenched the trident of Poseidon in his hand, and then met a pair of bright golden eyes.
The owner of those eyes gently tapped his finger at Aquaman, and Aquaman seemed to have lost control of his body and walked to the Messiah on his own initiative.
Messiah looked into Aquaman's dark blue eyes, which should have been azure blue, and a trace of sadness crossed his face.
Like the Amazon Queen, Aquaman also has a green smoke in his brain that helps the black fog to continuously erode his brain.
Messiah gently raised his hand, and his left hand, which was shining with golden light, touched Aquaman's forehead. Golden energy like molten gold flowed into Aquaman's brain, forcing back the black fog in Aquaman's brain with an irresistible force.
The Amazon Queen stopped screaming at some point, cold sweat broke out on her forehead covered with helmet, and a trace of trance appeared in her blue eyes.
"I..." The Amazon Queen's expression alternated between distortion and determination. She turned around little by little, relying on her willpower to face the Messiah directly. A hint of longing appeared in her eyes as she looked at the Messiah. "I!"
Messiah looked at the look in the Amazon Queen's eyes and seemed to realize something.
He suppressed the sigh rising in his throat, pulled out his right hand that had been inputting power into the Amazon Queen's brain, leaned over slightly to hold the Amazon Queen's wrist, and placed her hand, which could not move due to pain, on the Lasso of Truth.
"You can do it, Diana." Messiah stared at the Amazon Queen's sweat-drenched face, a look of struggle evident on her disheveled yet heroic features. "You are Wonder Woman, the daughter of Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, and Zeus, the God King. You are a warrior for justice, truth, and love."
The back of the Amazon Queen's right hand was covered with blue veins. She gritted her teeth and tried to control her right hand to grasp the Lasso of Truth hanging at her waist, but there was another force controlling her to stay away from the Lasso of Truth.
Watching this scene, Messiah sighed softly, retracted his right hand and placed it back on the back of the Amazon Queen's hand.
Power flowed into the Amazon Queen's body along the back of her hand.
Messiah withdrew his right hand again, took a step back, and left space for the Amazon Queen, with trust in his eyes.
"Believe in yourself, Diana," Messiah whispered. "You can do this."
Messiah did not rely on his own strength to dispel the black fog in the Amazon Queen's brain as he had done in the past, but chose to inject power into the Amazon Queen's body.
There is no other reason.
Messiah stared intently at the Amazon Queen's face. If there had to be a reason, it was that she would be happier if Wonder Woman could regain her sanity on her own rather than relying on him to do it.
Under Messiah's gaze, a trace of determination appeared on that embarrassed face, and then his right hand suddenly exerted force.
The Amazon Queen staggered and half-knelt on the ground, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
In her palm, the Lasso of Truth was tightly grasped.
This was the first thing that made the Messiah happy in all those days.
The Messiah reached forward, grasped the other end of the Lasso of Truth, gazed calmly at the Amazon Queen, and asked his first question: "Who are you?"
The Amazon Queen gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words: "I am Diana! The Queen of the Amazons... No, I am the daughter of the Amazon Queen Hippolyta and the God King Zeus."
With every word she spoke, Messiah could see the black mist remaining in the Amazon Queen's mind dim a little.
Messiah continued to inquire, “Why do you fight?”
The Queen of the Amazons... no, Diana's forehead was covered in cold sweat again: "I... I fight for justice, for all women in the world, and for love and peace!"
Messiah's eyes gradually softened, and a pale golden light shone in his hands again. The golden light and the light of the Lasso of Truth complemented each other, illuminating his face and Diana's face.
He stared at Diana's face, activated the Lasso of Truth, and asked the question one last time: "Who are you?"
Diana gripped the Lasso of Truth tightly, and relying on her willpower, she straightened her knees little by little, standing up to face the Messiah.
"I am Diana, Queen Diana of the Amazons of Paradise Island, and Diana Prince of the human world."
She stared into Messiah's golden eyes and said word by word, "I am Wonder Woman!"
At this moment, the black fog in Wonder Woman's brain disappeared, and clarity and rationality returned to her brain again.
Messiah withdrew his hand, looked gently into Diana's blue eyes, and said gently, "Welcome back, lady."
Silence, only silence.
Wonder Woman held the Lasso of Truth and said nothing.
Messiah took a step back gently, leaving space for Wonder Woman, and turned his gaze back to Aquaman, who was barely stabilizing his body with the help of Poseidon's trident.
"You too." Messiah said gently, "Welcome back, Arthur."
Aquaman lowered his head and remained silent.
If the black fog in Aquaman's brain had not dissipated and Messiah had not made sure that he had not damaged Aquaman's brain, he might have thought that Aquaman had not yet regained his sanity.
but……
Messiah suppressed the urge to sigh, lowered his eyes to gaze at the silent Sea King, and asked softly, "Do you need me to send you back to the sea, Arthur?"
Aquaman didn't reply, but Messiah knew that was his tacit agreement.
Messiah waved his hand gently, and in a dazzling golden light, Aquaman disappeared on the spot.
In the palace of Atlantis, a heart-wrenching cry shattered the tranquility of the seabed. Messiah listened to the roar and wailing of the Sea King and silently withdrew his hearing.
"I'm sorry, Diana," Messiah whispered, looking at Wonder Woman, who remained silent. "For everything that happened, and for being late."
"No, you're not wrong."
Wonder Woman finally raised her head, a few strands of sweat-soaked hair still clinging to her pale face. She managed a tight curl of her lips towards Messiah, "This world shouldn't be shouldered by children."
Messiah didn't answer. He didn't say anything like "I'm not a child anymore," nor did he deny Wonder Woman's statement. He just looked at Wonder Woman with eyes that were so gentle that they were almost sad.
It's time for him to leave.
Messiah took a step back, looking at the Amazon warriors and Atlanteans still fighting on the coast, and whispered, "After I stop them, everything will be in your hands, Diana, Arthur."
Wonder Woman jerked her head up, but Messiah was faster than her.
In the city that was almost in ruins, people trembled and hid behind the broken walls of high-rise buildings, watching in fear as the Amazons and Atlanteans fought recklessly.
Artemis chopped off the Atlantean's head expressionlessly, glanced casually at the human child hiding in the corner, turned and left with the head, not caring at all that the crumbling steel bars above her head were about to hit the child.
Since the death of Jason Todd, a teammate of the Outlaws, Bizarro's death at the hands of the Supreme Leader, and Artemis' return to the Lost Amazon, the Outlaws have been completely disbanded.
To Artemis now, her life as an outlaw seemed like a vague dream, and her experience of allying with humans and Kryptonian clones seemed like a joke.
She is an Amazon.
However, Artemis suddenly stopped, frowned, looked at the sky that suddenly turned golden, and reached out to catch the golden raindrops that suddenly fell.
"Golden rain...?"
In the coastal cities and coastlines, whether they were Amazons, Atlanteans, or even humans, they all inexplicably stopped in their tracks, looking up at the white clouds in the sky that were raining golden rain.
Golden raindrops fell to the ground, soaking the armor of the Amazon warriors, wetting the hair of the Atlanteans, and turning the humans hiding around the city or fleeing in panic into a wet state.
The weapons in the hands of the fighting Amazons rolled to the ground, and the Atlanteans froze in place. The golden rain flowed through their hair and soaked their whole bodies, dispelling the black fog in their brains and healing their wounds.
The fleeing human opened his mouth wide, staring in amazement as the bloody wounds on his body gradually disappeared.
Artemis came back to her senses stiffly, her mind clearer than ever before, and the Atlantean head in her hand rolled to the ground.
She ignored the distorted expression on her face, but slowly lowered her head and looked at the child who was shivering in the corner and dared not look at her.
Artemis opened her mouth and realized for the first time how cowardly she was. She silently walked towards the shivering child and silently caught the steel bar falling from the sky.
The sound of weapons falling to the ground one after another could be heard from everywhere. Even after the Amazons and Atlanteans regained consciousness and the injured humans were healed, the golden rain did not stop.
It is still washing the earth.
The Messiah silently manipulated the golden rain to drive back the seawater that flooded the city, rebuilt the collapsed skyscrapers, and brought the collapsed city back to life.
While trying to heal the scars inflicted on the city by the Amazons and Atlanteans, Messiah found that he was not happy.
He was not happy at all.
Perhaps, it could even be considered annoying.
Messiah pursed his lips and did not give a speech like he did last time when he saved the vampire kingdom. Instead, he left in silence.
He did not talk to Wonder Woman and Aquaman, nor did he study how order should be restored in the cities damaged by the Amazons and Atlanteans.
He just left alone and silently, letting the golden rain wash over the coastline.
When Messiah saw the green smoke in Diana's head, he recognized what it was.
It was the Joker Virus, something he had seen in the last world when he killed the Joker.
Batman who killed the Joker, the Joker virus, and the sense of disharmony of a series of events...
...The Laughing Bat.
The Messiah was not happy.
