chapter 0355 part 2
"We help you get through this crisis. As a condition, when we ask for your help, I want to get the help of the entire Justice League, not just you alone!"
After hearing Tony Stark state his requirement, Bruce Wayne did not immediately agree.
"I need to consult with the others for their opinion!"
"Please do!" Tony Stark spread his hands.
"Also, I need to know how you want us to help you. Help you get the Mother Box back? Steppenwolf is one thing, but Darkseid behind him is an existence no less than Thanos!"
"John's plan will proceed as usual. I hope you can serve as a backup force. If the plan goes wrong, you can do your best to help us keep the Mother Box on Earth, at least not let the Mother Box fall into the hands of either Darkseid or that unknown Evil God!"
"You suspect Constantine will give the Mother Box to that Evil God?!" Tony Stark understood Bruce Wayne's concern upon hearing his words.
"John once suggested hiding the Mother Box in Hell. I'm worried that after the Hell Demons get the Mother Box, they will use its power to descend into the Reality World, so I rejected his suggestion!"
"So you're worried that Constantine will use this Sacrifice to sacrifice the Mother Box as well!?"
"Given John's madness, he is capable of doing such a thing! And I suspect that the Evil God John is sacrificing to is related to those magic weapons you brought with you!"
"Tang?" Tony Stark frowned.
"Tang?"
"He's a person from a Parallel Universe we passed through. He possesses a certain supernatural power."
While Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne were discussing the mysterious "Tang" from that Parallel Universe.
Wonder Woman Diana had already walked away from Wayne Manor, wandering around aimlessly along the road towards Gotham City to clear her mind.
She wasn't feeling down because of the argument with Constantine.
Diana's feelings towards the Olympian Pantheon and her Father, whom she had never met, were very subtle.
She had lived on Themyscira (Paradise Island) since she could remember. The Amazons on Themyscira were all female warriors. They would not die or grow old. For Diana, Themyscira was her home.
It wasn't until that man entered her world that her originally calm life was disrupted.
She also learned from her Mother that she had a Father, Zeus, King of the Gods of Olympus. As the daughter of Zeus, she bore the duty of crusading against Ares, God of War.
Because of the sudden responsibility placed upon her, bearing the so-called duty of Zeus's daughter, she followed him out of Themyscira, which she had never left for over twenty years.
Initially, Diana was excited to leave Themyscira. She had never seen the outside world. Compared to the unchanging Themyscira, the outside world was truly wonderful.
Modern humanity's cars, aircraft, she was truly like someone from the countryside entering the city back then. She didn't even know that she had to pay money to buy things.
Recalling the embarrassing moments from back then, Diana, walking along the road, felt as if her past memories were attacking her. Thinking of the awkward scene, Diana kicked a small stone far away with her foot.
"Hey, miss, need a ride? I'm heading back to the City District! It's on the way!"
A taxi drove up from behind Diana and stopped beside her. The middle-aged white person driving waved at Diana.
Diana was about to refuse, but then she thought that she had nothing to do right now and it would be a good opportunity to go to downtown Gotham City to buy some clothes.
Diana walked up, pulled open the car door, and noticed there was already someone sitting inside.
The man in the white suit saw Diana get in the car, nodded at her, and politely moved over.
Diana hesitated for two seconds, then told the driver the address she wanted to go to, got into the back seat, and closed the car door.
The taxi drove towards the direction of downtown Gotham City. Diana's eyes were fixed on the fleeting scenery outside the window, as if watching the friends she had lost in the past. Her life after leaving Themyscira was very exciting.
She participated in the World War, killed her half-brother Ares, God of War, and ended the war.
But when life returned to calm, as time passed, watching the familiar people around her grow old and perish.
Only then did she realize her difference from Ordinary Person. As a God, she would not grow old or die.
While the friends around her were Ordinary Person. Not long after the war, she said goodbye to the first man who had entered her heart.
Regarding Zeus, her Father whom she had never met, Diana researched everything about him after coming to the Human World. Well, at that time, after flipping through the book containing the Olympian Mythology in the library, her first reaction was to want to beat up that King of the Gods.
She never expected a person (god) to be so promiscuous, not sparing his own older sister, younger sister, younger brother's wife, niece, daughter, or even beautiful cows.
If these mythological stories were true, she would rather not have this embarrassing Father.
The chaotic, no, decadent life of the Olympian Pantheon once made Diana refuse to acknowledge her identity as the last Deity of Olympus.
After all, it was too embarrassing to say out loud.
However, as time passed, out of curiosity about Olympus, she had also visited Mount Olympus multiple times, searching for the marks left by the Gods.
But, as Ares said, the Gods had long since perished in successive god wars.
Even her Father, whom she had never met, Zeus, King of the Gods, had perished from Ares's backstab after expending most of his divine power to seal the second-generation God King Kronos who had broken free.
Decades passed in the blink of an eye. Diana sometimes felt a sense of loneliness in her heart, a feeling of loneliness without kindred.
In these decades, she tried to make fewer friends, because she found it difficult to accept the departure of friends. The people around her would eventually grow old. "Perhaps after this matter is over, I should go back to Themyscira and stay for a few years?"
"Miss, this kind of 'jinxing statement' behavior is not auspicious!"
"jinxing statement, what does that mean?" Diana turned her head to look at the fellow passenger.
The man's age seemed vague, with the handsome appearance of someone in their mid-twenties, but his demeanor carried an unusual steadiness.
Even though Diana was past the age of judging by looks, she still had to admit that this man possessed a unique Eastern aesthetic.
"In our East, this is called 'planting a flag,' which means saying something inauspicious before doing something!"
"You probably haven't watched some Eastern television programs. It's like before a battle, if a soldier says he's going home to get married after this fight, or celebrate his parents' birthday, or that someone is waiting for him at home, his fate is often very bad!"
The man explained the meaning of jinxing statement to Diana.
"So it's a kind of curse?" Diana turned sideways to look at the man.
"It's not quite a curse, just not very auspicious!" The man smiled gently.
"You can understand it as once you say something like that, your luck will often be bad afterwards!"
"Are you a wizard? Next, are you going to read my palm?" Diana looked at the man in front of her with amusement. She didn't sense any energy fluctuation on him.
In her opinion, this was just an excuse for the man to flirt with her. She was very confident in her appearance and had experienced countless attempts at flirting, with all sorts of reasons, but this reason was interesting.
"Haha, reading palms, I can't do that. I'm just a tourist. I heard that Gotham is a place renowned for its talented people and spiritual energy, so I came to take a look!"
Tourist! The middle-aged white person driving the taxi couldn't help but glance at him through the rearview mirror after hearing the man's words.
"We help you get through this crisis. As a condition, when we ask for your help, I want to get the help of the entire Justice League, not just you alone!"
