Chapter 95
Inside the regime's base, the head of state looked terrifyingly violent.
"Diana betrayed us." The Supreme Leader's eyes were extremely gloomy. He exerted force in his hands, crumpling the PDA into a ball of scrap metal. "She accepted the olive branch extended by the Messiah and betrayed the regime and the alliance with Paradise Island."
"They have to pay for this."
Batman nodded without comment, tacitly accepting the Supreme Leader's decision. The bat mask blocked the expression on his face, making it impossible to see his true emotions.
The Supreme Leader narrowed his eyes in amusement and continued, "The war between the Vampire Kingdom and the Regime has never stopped. Now that they have voluntarily withdrawn their troops, we should counterattack."
Shazam hesitated to speak. He didn't expect Batman to agree with the Supreme Leader's decision. He wanted to stand up and say something, but Cyborg held his shoulders.
Cyborg shook his head calmly, signaling Shazam not to act rashly.
The Supreme Leader raised his lips in satisfaction, glanced at the political leaders in the conference room, and said with his arms folded, "Very good. Since everyone agrees, the next plan is how to attack the Vampire Kingdom and make those who dare to oppose me... us pay the price."
But the vampire kingdom no longer exists.
Shazam bit his lip and whispered in his heart: Vampires have turned back into humans, they are no longer our enemies... Aren't we going to war against vampires to protect humans?
Moreover, the vampires who turned back into humans were imprisoned in Blüdhaven by Messiah. Now the people living in the former vampire kingdom are just ordinary people with scars.
If we invade them... then what's the difference between us and the vampires we once were.
Shazam took a deep breath, wanting to speak his mind. Batman raised his eyebrows seemingly unintentionally, his eyes passing lightly over Shazam.
A black mist invisible to the naked eye filled the conference room, and the members of the regime unknowingly inhaled the black mist wrapped in green smoke with their breath.
The moment Shazam took a breath, the black mist was sucked into his body. His movement to stand up was suddenly stuck, and hesitation and cowardice occupied his mind.
Shazam opened his mouth, but after meeting the Supreme Leader's gloomy gaze, he chose to retreat again. He... didn't have the courage to speak his mind.
Batman's mouth curled up slightly.
Bludhaven
After a day of prayer, the Messiah appeared in the city square of Blüdhaven as the night fell.
The former vampires who had been waiting for a long time had their eyes lit up and rushed forward with fanatical expressions.
Messiah looked at the believers rushing towards him, his eyes briefly met with the "Ghost King Nightwing" who seemed to be smiling at the outside of the crowd, and finally his eyes returned to the believers.
"It's okay, I'm listening." He reached out and held the hand of a former vampire who was in great pain. A ball of golden light lit up in his hand, and warm and holy power flowed through his palm into the former vampire's body, soothing the other's excited emotions.
Messiah turned his attention back to the former vampires, who were filled with pain and regret, and began his routine confession session tonight.
The smile on "Ghost King Nightwing"'s face disappeared unconsciously.
Stupid. He looked expressionlessly at the Messiah in the crowd. The white-blond boy lowered his eyebrows and looked gentle. When he leaned over and reached out to the kneeling vampire, his expression was like the mural in the church where the Messiah turned into a lamb and sacrificed himself for mankind.
"Ghost King Nightwing" suddenly walked through the crowd and came to Messiah, put his arm around Messiah's shoulders with a smile, and once again tried to disrupt Messiah's confession.
"Xiao Mi, we have an appointment to meet." The "Ghost King Nightwing" glanced at the former vampires kneeling on the ground, his eyes full of undisguised contempt. He dragged out his voice and complained in a low voice, "You can't break your appointment -"
"I think I've recalled some new memories. If you come with me, I'll tell you."
Ghost King Nightwing blinked at Messiah as if no one was around: "No more waiting."
Messiah was silent for a moment, his gaze lingering on the kneeling believers. Looking at those pairs of eager eyes, he paused and answered the question of "Ghost King Nightwing".
"No need." Messiah gently moved the arm of Ghost King Nightwing away and said calmly, "I already have the answer. As for other things, there is no need to know."
He took the initiative to ask "Ghost King Nightwing" to meet, but it was just an irrational decision made when he was distracted.
After learning that Batman was infected by the Joker virus and transformed into the Bat Who Laughs, and that he had designed a war between the Amazons and the Atlanteans, and that he might even have killed all of the Bat-family, and infected Nightwing into a memoryless and emotionless vampire king, indirectly leading to the birth of the vampire kingdom...
Messiah was sad even though he knew that the Batman of this world was not the Batman with whom he once had a father-son relationship.
And because of this... he became weak.
He subconsciously wanted to seek comfort from his relatives. He didn't want to face such a cruel thing alone, but he found that he was alone in the world.
At this time, the only person Messiah could think of was "Ghost King Nightwing", who had the same face as Dick and was also a victim of the Laughing Bat, so he took the initiative to ask "Ghost King Nightwing" to meet.
In Jason's words, this should be called a meal replacement?
Messiah's eyes softened slightly for a moment, but soon returned to their calm state.
But now, he no longer needed it. Messiah looked back at his followers, whose eyes were filled with fanatical longing, and suppressed all his emotions deep in his heart.
The Messiah lowered his eyes slightly, and with a gentle expression, he lowered his hands to the believer with longing eyes, and whispered softly, "I forgive you."
Saving the world and atonement for past sins are the most important things compared to meaningless personal emotions.
The eyes of "Ghost King Nightwing" turned cold.
You will regret this. Ghost King Nightwing recalled the memory fragments that emerged in his mind. He looked at Messiah expressionlessly and thought to himself, you will definitely regret this.
You can't predict what that person is thinking, and you can never imagine how he will hurt you.
Ghost King Nightwing clenched his palms, his nails digging deep into them. Alfred's pale, pained face surfaced in the fragmented memory. Even though he had lost all memory and emotion, his heart ached when he recalled the fragmented memory.
Watching the clueless Messiah still confessing for others, "Ghost King Nightwing" quietly disappeared into the shadows, waiting for the opportunity to appreciate Messiah's agony. When that time comes—
He would applaud that.
·Former Hall of Justice·Outside the current regime base·
The Supreme Leader patted Lex Luthor on the shoulder and looked at the assembled super-powered army below the platform with an arrogant and stern expression.
Messiah, Diana, you will pay for this.
Next to the Supreme Leader, the corners of Batman's mouth widened silently, looking forward to the good show that was about to begin.
In the face of absolute strength, most of his plans would be ineffective. The Laughing Bat laughed heartily in Batman's heart, but this could never faze him!
In the center of Blüdhaven City Square, the Messiah, seemingly oblivious to the regime's actions, was still patiently confessing to the grieving vampires.
The storm is coming.
