American Comics: Beginning with Luke the Maker

bat base.

The members stationed at the base finally waited for Stephen and the others to return. In addition to the three of them, there was also a tall and cold-looking man.The man's limbs were bound by black shackles, but just by standing there and with his strong muscles, one could see the danger of violence.

"Is this Darkseid? What are you going to do with him?" Wonder Woman Diana looked at the man, and she instinctively sensed a similar divine power from Steppenwolf.This confirms the man's identity.

"You should take it back and give it to Luke. He has a prison specifically responsible for holding such dangerous people. Whether they are vicious criminals or dimensional demons." Stephen said without hiding anything.Just as he spoke, his eyes stayed on the silent Bruce Wayne for a moment longer.

"That's fine. Where is Steppenwolf? Do you want to take him away too?" Diana felt inexplicably relieved.It's not that she refuses to assume the responsibility of guarding, but if there is a better, more appropriate, and safer method, she will naturally not forcefully ask for the right to guard these two dangerous people.

It seemed to Diana that no prisoner was safer than being left in the custody of his captors.For a moment she even wanted to throw Steppenwolf over too.Although Lex Luthor, who is studying Steppenwolf's body, may not be satisfied with this, there is always a choice.Diana was fed up with the ability of the smart people in her team to make trouble, and if something went wrong, it would be a major event that could subvert the planet and disrupt the balance of the universe.

"Of course." Stephen nodded again.

"Do you need me to bring him here now? Or?" Diana asked very straightforwardly, so straightforward that even Thor, who was rough-minded, could understand the meaning of her words.After all, he became the king of Asgard, and he has grown more or less in this aspect.

Now bring them here to ask them if they want to leave immediately?

still?This one is asking if you want to take a break, have a party or something.

"Don't worry, we still have some problems to solve. At least the data dimension lock will take time to be unlocked." Stephen replied.

"Do you want to have a party? This is my hobby! I can come and help with the barbecue." Thor placed his hammer on the ground, rubbed his hands, and couldn't help but want to show off his skills.

"Come on, let's go, I can make arrangements for you. It will take some time for them to come over." Diana was referring to other members of the alliance.

"You guys go over and let Bruce and I stay alone for a while." Facing Diana's invitation, Stephen waved his hand and said unexpectedly.

Diana and Thor immediately looked at Stephen, and the next moment their eyes glanced at the silent Bruce.After a moment, Diana seemed to have figured something out, and led Thor and Becky out of the room, leaving Bruce and Stephen space for private communication.

When there were only two people left in the surveillance room, Stephen waved his fingers gently like a baton, and a living chair ran up behind him and Bruce on its own legs.Stephen bent over and sat down, and moved his buttocks to adjust his posture to make him feel comfortable.Bruce on the opposite side was still standing, seemingly at a loss about the chair behind him, but his indifference angered the chair behind him. It pushed forward hard and hit the crook of Bruce's knee, and Bruce sat down. .As he took his seat, the chair behind him instantly became silent and became a dead object again.

"Very exciting, magic?" Bruce was not wearing his bat suit that never seemed to leave his body, but there were at least three bat suits hidden in the surveillance room waiting for his call at any time.He crossed his legs, folded his hands on his thighs, and looked at Stephen curiously.

"Of course you can think so. Let's talk about your situation." Stephen opened two more portals, reached in, took out a cup of hot coffee, and motioned to Bruce to choose for himself.

Bruce looked at the portal that appeared on his side. Inside the door were several cups, ranging from drinks to tea to wine.Bruce thought for a moment and took out a teacup.

"What do you want to know? Why should I crack and tap that power?" Bruce asked Stephen as he took a sip of the tea in the teacup.

"No, no, no, we can talk about this issue later. What I want to say is, talk about your physical condition, or better yet, let's talk about your mental problems." Stephen put the coffee cup on his right hand On the armrest of the chair, he supported his chin with his arm and shook his head.

"My mental problem?" Bruce was shocked, but his face remained expressionless, "I think I'm in a good state now, both physically and mentally."

"You know? You are a bit similar to a person I know. He is also extremely smart and a rich superhero. He is also stubborn. When encountering problems, he always thinks of relying on his own personal power or his smart heart. Use your brain to solve it. He also had serious mental problems, but his problems were not as serious as yours." Stephen smiled, not caring about Bruce's concealment.Even though there was nothing wrong with Bruce's tone or expression, there were some things that Stephen didn't need to use his eyes and other organs to see and judge.

He was sure that Bruce had serious mental problems now, and these problems also involved some hidden forces.If it were other people, he might not be aware of his own abnormalities, but he believed that Bruce, a person who was demanding and perverted, cautious and meticulous about things, would definitely be able to detect some abnormalities in himself.He was communicating with Bruce now to determine which stage he was in now.Only after confirming this, can Stephen take action and try to help the other party solve the problem.

"Tony Stark? I know something about him. He is different from me!" Bruce shook his head and said solemnly: "Completely different!"

"Then do you know that you are in a very dangerous situation now? There is a bottomless cliff in front of you. If you take one wrong step, you are about to face a disaster that you never want to see happen. And this The disaster was caused by you." Faced with Bruce's avoidance, Stephen seemed a little aggressive and pressed forward step by step. "What exactly did you see?" Bruce was silent and finally spread his hands.He was now sure that Stephen had seen something. He wanted to solve the trouble in his mind independently, but suddenly changed his mind and tried to solve it with Stephen.But he had to know what Stephen had seen.

"The power of the dark dimension! This power is so strong that it is impossible for me to ignore it. It is like an open herring can, and the smell is particularly pungent." Stephen said, making a fan with his hands and touching his nose The former fan slapped his face, "I have dealt with these dark forces too much, and I have even [eaten] a lot of them. So I am particularly sensitive to them."

Of course, the power of the dark dimension that I am familiar with is different from the power of the dark dimension that is parasitic on you, but the [smell] is the same pungent.If you can't fix it, then over time your entire soul will become tainted and taken over. "

"It sounds like you understand this power very well, and even know the consequences?" Bruce felt relieved. Considering his own situation, he was still willing to trust Stephen's judgment to some extent.At least it gave him some reference information.

"You should know where I come from? Which organization I work for." Stephen sighed softly.

"Energy bank?" Bruce had a rare smile in his eyes.

"Oh, you can't be wrong. But strictly speaking, I work for a mage organization called Kamathai. I inherited it from my teacher and also inherited the position of the energy bank. Kamatai What kind of mage organization is Ji?" Stephen asked and answered briskly: "It is a mage organization established in ancient times to protect our world from being invaded by dimensional demons.

The inside story is very complicated, and it would be too time-consuming to explain it in detail.If you are interested, I can leave you some historical records about Kama Taj later.But now, you just need what the organization's terms of reference are.

The power of mages at that time was borrowed from other demons and dimensional worlds, so there were always some mages who pursued power or wanted to make up for their inner shortcomings, chasing the more dangerous, powerful, and uncontrollable power of the dark dimension.Those powers are so chaotic and dark that few human mages can master them.Therefore, mages who try to follow the forbidden path often end badly.

The demons in the dark dimension will respond to them, but this response cannot fill the real shortcomings in their hearts, nor can they achieve their wishes.But the price has to be paid!And what those demon gods want is to invade and devour the world.All those believers can pay is their souls, their freedom, and an opening for their master who is ready to feast.

Fortunately, the Supreme Mage has the power to peer into the future and can choose the future he wants to minimize losses.But you know that even if you can glimpse the future, some things can only be reduced, but not prevented from happening.

I have seen too many fallen futures and darkness!He is also very aware of the signs and changes after his companions are succumbed to the power of darkness.Do you feel that you are very rational and calm, and that everything you think now is your own will, and there is no change from before? "

Bruce was startled, and a horrifying fear suddenly arose in his heart.

"It seems that you have realized that something is wrong, right?" Stephen smiled: "In the early stage when the power of the dark dimension has plans for you, it will only subtly affect your judgment and thinking. The simplest and most commonly used, It means to solidify a certain obsession of yours, let it take root, suppress all your other thoughts and emotions, and do one thing with concentration and seriousness like a fanatic. And you won't realize that there are Nothing is wrong. Even if you know that you are contaminated, even if you know that it betrays your bottom line and responsibility, you will move forward! Because your obsession will brainwash you, and he will give you a reason and excuse to convince yourself . You are awake and dazed. Until the moment comes that finally determines your value. This is the influence and erosion of the power of the dark dimension."

"Do you think I have been contaminated by the power of the dark dimension you mentioned?" Bruce suppressed his inner emotions and asked with a calm expression.

"The power of the dark dimension is also divided into many types. For example, spiritual energy? Its power of the dark dimension is divided into multiple layers. The deepest level is the abyss. Generally speaking, in the material universe, we will only use the [shadow of the abyss] ], not daring to let its true power come. But even the pollution and danger of a shadow are enough to solve all troubles. But this solution, if there are no countermeasures, is like a cut on your finger, To fix the wound, you cut off your injured finger.

The power of the dark dimension entangled in you has not reached the level of the abyss, although it is rich and dark enough.I'm sorry that the communication this time was hasty and direct, but I feel that if it took longer to find out, I would have to consider some radical measures against you.This may cause some conflicts and misunderstandings between our group and yours, leading to confrontation and hostility.This is not what I want to see. "Stephen replied seriously.

"When did you first discover my problem? Today? Or earlier?" Bruce suddenly became acutely aware of another problem.

"I knew you would realize this. Yes, I noticed the abnormality in your body last time, but it lurked so deep that I couldn't be sure, I just had suspicions. So in order to be sure , I did some tricks, which may have stimulated it." Stephen smiled implicitly, with an embarrassed look on his face.

"So, when it was suddenly exposed in the past few days, it felt the pressure you put on it?" Bruce was speechless.

"Don't care about this! This is just a small intimidation. If the judgment fails, you will not have any problems. But if the judgment is successful, it will have a sense of urgency. If you cannot prepare perfectly, you must expose it in advance. Although it is handled in this way It's still troublesome, but at least it buys time and hope for you to get back to normal.

I wanted to have a serious talk with you at that time, but things had to be resolved one by one.Darkseid, you, the data dimension.Believe me, we are professionals when it comes to dimension invasion and dark erosion! "Stephen said in a brisk and confident tone. This confidence even infected Bruce.

Of course, Bruce knew that things couldn't really be as simple as Stephen said. Most likely, he just wanted to appease him by saying this.Of course he will not give up on saving himself and put his life in the hands of others. This is not in line with his philosophy.But he did not resist Stephen's help.At least as he said, he is the professional in this kind of thing!Even if you don't succeed, it's good to have some intelligence and information.

Therefore, Bruce asked calmly: "How are you going to solve my trouble?" (End of Chapter)
