[Comprehensive] The painting style of time travel is wrong

Compared to the Council of Owls, the meeting with the other gang seemed more...

How to describe it?

Want a lot of sunshine?

The meeting place was chosen at the Kaliman Commercial Center in Queens, Gotham.

A few days ago, this place was just used by the clown to play a bloody game, but only a few days later, the residents of Gotham City have restored the place to its former appearance, leaving only bunches of flowers in the corner to remind people of the what happened.

When Tang Xuening arrived at the agreed open-air cafe 15 minutes earlier, the heroic and tall woman full of the demeanor of a royal sister was already waiting there.

"Hello, Miss Thalia Al Ghul (Note 1)."

"Hmm... yes, although she doesn't seem to have received professional training, she doesn't lack the temperament of a warrior at all."

After glancing at the black-haired girl with cold eyes, Thalia nodded and asked the girl to take a seat:

"Ms. Tang Xuening, right? Because of your warrior heart, I decided not to kill you, but to listen to your words."

"Miss Thalia, I want to know why Luthor asked me to communicate with you 'League of Assassins'—as far as I know, you have always wanted to destroy Gotham (Note 2)."

After taking her seat, Tang Xuening went straight to the topic of the meeting.

"Having said that, I have also heard from Luthor about your Assassin League's ideal of 'destroy and regenerate mankind', but I'm just curious, why do you have to start by destroying Gotham?"

"Do we have to start by destroying Gotham? No, we don't have any special interest in this city. It's just that as the biggest shame of our alliance, some things need to be covered up a little bit."

——Luther didn't tell you the answer directly. I really don't know whether it is showing kindness to us or putting you to death. "

Thalia shook her head while stirring the coffee in front of her with a small spoon:

"However, this is actually not an unspeakable secret. Our purpose of destroying Gotham first is mainly to destroy the traitors who are deeply rooted in it at the same time."

—Deep roots? ——

The image of a group of people appeared in the girl's mind:

"The Council of Owls?"

"It appears that you have met with them,"

Hearing that name, Thalia's eyes narrowed slightly, and a vaguely icy aura began to gather between the two of them. Feeling the familiar feeling, Tang Xuening couldn't help but secretly tense her whole body.

But soon, Thalia withdrew the killing intent that locked the girl, and smiled instead:

"Although I don't know why they met you, or what they said to you.

But Miss Tang, do you know their origins? "

"They mentioned it to me a little bit."

The girl responded cautiously. Judging from the reaction just now, the relationship between the Owl Council and the League of Assassins is definitely not harmonious.

"Things like the Invoker and the Chosen."

"Sure enough...then I can tell you a story for you to compare.

A story from a long, long time ago..."

Thalia relaxed her body, picked up her coffee and sat back on the chair. This gesture of giving up her defense made the girl opposite her secretly relieved.

Regardless of whether seeking help can be successful, judging from the performance just now, Thalia's strength should not be inferior to Batman's - and it seems that he has not won against Batman yet.

At this time, Thalia said slowly in an old man's unique tone:

"My father, the great ninja master Lars Al Ghul, once discovered in the far east...something with magical effects. (Note 3)

While the strange object brought him great power, it also gradually made him feel puzzled—in this vast world, is the strange object in his hands unique?

In order to answer this question, he sent an exploration team to explore the world after he established the Assassin's League. "

"A very ambitious act."

Tang Xuening's compliment was not false at all.

"Yes, even now it seems so. He persuaded the Chinese emperor at that time. Organized an unprecedented huge fleet..."

"Zheng He's voyages?"

the girl asked suspiciously.

"Every time the fleet arrives, our exploration team will set off to explore. Although due to various reasons, nearly half of them failed to return to the alliance alive, but the general appearance of the whole world is still displayed in front of our eyes. .”

But Thalia just smiled and didn't answer the girl's question. Her narration continued:

"It was not until a long time later that our people accidentally noticed the abnormality of this country in a remote corner of the world, and later realized that perhaps some of our missing exploration teams did not fail, and one of them seemed to succeed. .

——The undead who call themselves 'Condor' are manipulating the country's crazy expansion in the dark (Note 4). "

Speaking of this, Thalia stopped and took a sip of coffee.

But from her words, Tang Xuening suddenly understood why this world with extraordinary power has the same history as her own world

——Behind all the history of this world is no longer a political game, the rise and fall of national power or some illusory luck. Here, behind every major historical event is just a manifestation of the victory or defeat between extraordinary forces (Note 5) .

"At first, we thought that they could not reconnect with the alliance for some reason, so they had to start developing alone on this lonely land, but when the alliance got in touch with them again, we realized that it was not the case at all. "

After putting down the coffee, Thalia's expression became grim:

"They no longer recognize their father's leadership, and consider themselves the 'chosen ones' of treasures, the chosen ones who have been blessed by the gods to win the whole world!

The ignorant are always the most arrogant, so it is no surprise that the war has begun (Note 6).

Those fools who rely on their immortal bodies to look at everything else will soon see the horror of the alliance-their lives will be full of pain and mourning in the future. "

"But what about Gotham?"

Tang Xuening was a little confused, because according to Talia, the owl council should be finished.

"Because the war with the traitors involved too much of my father's energy, the stupid careerists couldn't help but scrambled to jump out behind my father."

Thalia's tone was also full of helplessness, presumably no matter who encountered this kind of thing, it would be as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

"When my father turned around and killed them one by one, the traitors who had gained respite had already hidden in the darkness. The alliance searched every city in this country but failed to find them again."

"Until the miraculous rise of the Wayne family?"

The girl somewhat understood the truth of this period of history.

"Yes. Did they think we couldn't find the 'condor' of the day to the 'owl' of the night?

I don’t even look at who are left of them—most of them are young people who don’t even know about the war, and because the core personnel lost too much back then, they even forgot the location of the treasure.

I heard that most of them now think that they are really the guardians of the treasures, and the lies they fabricated ended up deceiving only their own people. What a bunch of ridiculous idiots. "

Thalia let out a hearty laugh, which attracted the attention of many pedestrians around.

"In order to uproot them, we contacted the Wayne family and successfully pulled them into our camp—Waynes of all generations have had the training and inheritance of the alliance (Note 7)..."

"Like Batman?"

"...just like Batman."

After talking about Batman, Thalia's expression changed—it became very weird.

"But he and his father have always had some... small conflicts. Regarding his father's practice of completely destroying traitors, treasures, and Gotham City, he...doesn't agree. (Note 8)"

"Haven't you thought about infiltrating slowly?"

Tang Xuening was very puzzled, it can't be done in secret, as long as enough people come, if they disperse, does Batman still have the ability to separate?

"Tried, but the gang of traitors are hiding deeper than we thought. Gotham has their tentacles everywhere, but every time you dig deeper, you will find that it is just a severed stump. After launching several times After the attack, those cowards are afraid to show themselves directly in front of us now, and the half-dead Talon they sent out can't ask any questions."

Looking at Thalia's strange expressions from time to time, the girl privately thought that Batman must always appear during this process.

"Maybe we will succeed one day if this continues, but it is too slow. The living traitors are our shame and the scars of the alliance! Therefore, as a salute for the destruction and rebirth of mankind, the destruction of Gotham is the only choice for the alliance."

"By the way - Lex Luthor should know the specific situation of the Owl Council, why didn't you think of asking him for help?"

The girl suddenly asked suspiciously.

"Huh? Miss Tang, don't you know what kind of person Luther is?"

A surprised expression appeared on Talia's face for the first time, but after seeing the inexplicable expression of the girl's response, she continued:

"Even for my father and the League of Assassins, his favor is too hard to return—his enemies are too powerful.

For the whereabouts of a group of traitors, the entire alliance may be involved. We will not do this kind of transaction. "

"What if I could help?"

Tang Xuening asked with a smile.

"If you can help us find those traitors, you will gain the alliance's most sincere friendship."

Thalia responded with the same smile

"Understood……"

The girl nodded, and then asked Thalia rather roguely:

"So, can the friendship of the alliance be advanced a little bit in advance?"
