The rise of comics

"Human. I can feel the deepest obsession in your heart."

In a trance that seemed both real and illusory, a whisper like an abyss sounded.

"Accept my power and release my imprisonment. In exchange, I will let you live to see her for the last time."

I don't know who is talking.But in front of Freud's eyes, that familiar petite figure seemed to appear.

Those scenes of laughter and playfulness that were stored deepest in his heart were gradually losing color, turning yellow, becoming fragmented, being eroded by black and white, and then quickly moving away from him.

"No...Zoe!"

Floyd wanted to reach out and grab it, but he couldn't touch anything.

The space was distorted, and he came to an ordinary family apartment.

boom--!

The sound of the water glass and plate falling to the ground was so harsh. The figure that could not be erased in any case when he was young, his father, whose bearded face looked so hateful, roaring and spitting. The posture was so disgusting. Like a majestic orangutan, he raised his hands above his head. The wooden stool in his hands had been repeated countless times, and he ruthlessly smashed it down on his weak and weak mother.

"No, father, stop fighting!"

The younger brother Edward, whom he respected, had tears on his face, and he held the assailant's thigh in tears and begged for mercy, but what he got in return was a merciless kick.

.......

"It doesn't matter if you don't want such a father... For my mother, I must make him pay the price!"

On a heavy rainy night, in the dark room, as a thunder struck, the expression on his brother's face made Floyd fall into a daze, and it seemed to be imprinted in his mind forever.

The second night.

With a fateful gunshot, Floyd's arm dropped from the tree, and the rifle he had stolen fell straight down and landed on the lawn.

He originally wanted to stop his brother's behavior, but he just wanted to hit the dagger in his brother's hand that stabbed his father's back. However, because of his fear and panic when he was young, he accidentally killed his brother with his own hands.

The perpetrator survives, but the person who enforces justice dies forever.

From that day on, the heart of a child named Freud also died along with his brother.

He left home, left Gotham City, and never went back. After countless years of wandering and fighting outside, he practiced marksmanship hard, and even became a disciple of the Assassin's League. He teamed up with the most dangerous group of people in the world, and worked with wars and battlefields. , and finally achieved the title of [Death Shooter].

But he never thought that in an accident, a girl named Zoe would be born into this world.

At first he wasn't impressed.But gradually, as he watched this girl grow up, he began to notice that something different had changed in his heart.

Although he didn't spend much time with the girl, he could feel more and more that her smile, her trust and attachment to him, and her every move were like the most beautiful angel, affecting his heart. .

After so many years, his soul, which he originally thought had died that night, seems to have sprouted life again.

He began to worry about how to get along with an increasingly older girl, how to keep her away from danger, and did not want to see her get hurt in any way.

It's just...he is destined not to be able to stay with the girl all the time, because he is Floyd and he is the Deadshot.One of the world's most feared killers and criminals.

"Zoe..."

Whispering this name that is regarded as the most important in life, Freud's resolute and cold face remained unchanged for thousands of years. Although he seemed to have forgotten how to express laughter and sadness, his eyes were filled with emotion. A drop of hot tears burst out.

.........

boom--!

The moment Killer Frost Caitlin's slender cold fingertips were about to penetrate Floyd's head, an unspeakable terrifying force suddenly burst out from his body.

Caitlin Snow, who couldn't dodge or even change her surprised expression, flew backwards on the spot. Like a thrown cannonball, she was knocked into the stone wall of the cave on the other side with a huge noise. In the middle, countless rubbles cracked and fell, causing the huge iron chains in the air to buzz and tremble again.

"This is..."

Constantine felt something bad in his heart, Gaia's sealing array was touched again!

'Bruce', who was also watching, frowned unconsciously at the shocking scene in front of him.

"What's up with him?"

In my heart, I had strong doubts.

"It seems that I still underestimated the planetary consciousness of this world... Thousands of years of suppression, although it has curbed Gaia's activities, cannot stop its power from growing stronger."

'Bruce' narrowed his eyes and stared at Floyd, who had his feet off the ground and began to rise slowly into the air.

"His mind and body were invaded by Gaia."

'Bruce' said quickly, as if he knew what he wanted to say next.

"Don't get me wrong, this is different from you and me. Gaia's consciousness is injected into the body of this killer, which is equivalent to erasing the body's original personality and soul. You can think that the existence of 'Freud' is He was already dead at that moment."

"But isn't this sealing formation still intact? How could it be?"

"Although the Sunwell Seal is still suppressing Gaia's body, you don't understand what kind of existence planet consciousness is. Haha... When those self-proclaimed 'gods' came to this planet, They didn't really pay much attention to Gaia. By the time they realized it, Gaia was already strong enough to make them feel troublesome and dangerous. Later, they found that the situation was out of control, and they encountered God's appearance, which frightened them to death... .So we can only work together to seal it here and escape in despair. But the seal... this is just a delaying measure after all. These thousands of years have been enough for Gaia to grow to a very terrifying stage. It seems that , it was Death Shooter who finally burst out with some incredible spiritual obsession when he died, which allowed Gaia to get through the loophole and occupy its body."

"Don't forget, Gaia's body is right under our feet. Facing the Sunwell Seal at such a close range, it would be strange if these guys keep hitting us. If nothing happens, it will be strange."

"You know? Why didn't you stop it in advance?"

The deity's doubts became even stronger.

"Why should I stop it, am I familiar with these guys?"

'Bruce' asked rhetorically.

"I know you want to say that if Gaia is released, mankind will be in great misfortune. But in fact, the life and death of everyone on this planet has nothing to do with me."

His tone was calm, just like Batman's usual tone of neither sadness nor joy.

"You know very well that even if you just helped remove the bombs from these guys' heads, it was just for a small transaction between you and me."

"If these guys hadn't come here now, the Sunwell Seal should have been enough to last for another thousand years, but now... To use a famous saying that you know has been handed down to describe it, yes, 'Pandora's The box' was opened. And the hand that opened the box was none other than humanity itself."

"So, you are no longer human."

There was a hint of anger in my question.

"Since you are not a human being, then get out of my body!"

Bruce's eyes were in a trance for a moment, and the next second, he suddenly found that he had regained control of his body.

"...It's interesting. Although I don't know who turned you into what you are today, do you really think you are Bruce Wayne, the so-called Batman? You have forgotten your greatness and strength , I'm really sorry that you forgot all that...sigh."

The honest male voice gradually disappeared in Bruce's heart.

"Since you think you don't need me, I would like to see if you can stop Gaia's birth. I would like to remind you that now that we have developed to this step, the situation is irreversible. When you can't solve these problems Trouble, you will know that your mask and cloak that you claim to represent 'justice' is nothing more than a narrow-minded and absurd farce."

"Ugh!!"

Amidst the smoke and dust that blasted away large pieces of rubble, Caitlin Snow's disheveled figure rushed out. In her rage, she poured out all her strength wantonly, blowing out a terrifying ice and snow storm throughout the cave. , the intertwining of snow and fire, cold and heat, raged crazily throughout the cave, while the iron chains trembled, and the Gaia seal array overflowed with an extremely terrifying torrent of divine power, which not only swept towards Caitlin Snow like a wave, but also impacted towards Caitlin Snow. 'Floyd' and Cain rose into the air.

Fake!

Although he was not the main target of the sealing formation's explosion, Constantine could only watch the majestic power coming from him and secretly groan in his heart.

Jumping up, the only thing he could do was to pull the nearest living person, Harley Quinn, who was lying unconscious on the ground, to his side. The magic power all over her body rose like fireworks, and Constantine took photos with his eyes. Out of the red light, a phantom of a flame giant bent and appeared behind him, protecting him and Harley Quinn in his arms from the indiscriminate storm of divine power that suddenly came in the next second.

Bruce didn't have time to take any action. He could only roll on the spot and came to the side of the cave wall. He curled up and leaned against the stone wall.Then, he felt that he seemed to be trapped in a turbulent and furious sea. The infinite torrent of divine power blew in his ears like a twelve-level storm, knocking him down and flying, and his mind went blank. All may be reduced to nothingness.

But this feeling did not last long. The torrent of divine power was raging across the border and suddenly stopped. Bruce felt his body light up, and then was thrown towards the center of the sunwell by this remaining force. The world was spinning, and he saw that he was about to die. When he was about to be thrown into the sea of ​​fire, a strong hand followed his arm and pulled him.

Then, a bright red color floated before his eyes.

"Sorry Bruce, we're late."

The gentle but unusually calm voice seemed to come from a very far away place, and gradually became clear.

Bruce shook his dizzy head hard and raised his head. A strong figure with a unique S logo appeared in the reflection of his pupils.

"Clark?"

Bruce muttered to himself with a slightly skeptical tone.

"You seem to be in serious trouble."

Superman, Clark's expression was as resolute as ever but not cold and rigid. He smiled slightly, slowly fell down in mid-air, and let go of his hand. Bruce let out a slight gasp and bent his knees on the ground.

"You're finally here."

"Yes, but it seems that everyone and I are a step late."

Clark looked at Bruce and said.

"I thought you were in prison, but the distress signal was transmitted to the [?Watchtower] from an unrelated place."

"Who are those two guys?"

Clark turned to look at Cain and 'Floyd' in the air, and suddenly frowned.

"Deadshot? What's wrong with him?"

"That was no longer Freud. He was possessed body and mind by the most terrifying being on the planet."

Bruce's pale face finally regained a trace of color. Even he was a little confused. Although he felt very uncomfortable, he was not seriously injured. He didn't understand why he could survive such a terrifying tide of divine power. Could it be that Is this the fault of the voice in my heart again?

"I always thought that your name should be used on me."

Clark withdrew his gaze and turned back.

"...Congratulations then, not anymore."

Bruce sighed quietly.

Clark softened his expression a little, smiled again, and stretched out his hand to Bruce.

"Can you still stand up?"
