Chapter 176 This move was originally reserved for the clown
"Dont look at me."
Katoom said from Bruce's shoulder, "There are so many sea queens, I don't know which one this is."
There were four of them that he knew of.
Mera from Earth-2, the unnamed Sea Queen from Earth-11, and Lorena Malgus from the Titans of Tomorrow.
And the Sea Queen who was killed by the drowned ghost Brucey in Earth-11.
Who knows which one.
"We need more clues!"
After reading it, Bruce suddenly clenched the newspaper and said, "The report is too vague, there is no way to judge!"
At a time when war is about to break out, France's alliance with Atlantis is definitely not good news.
Moreover, there are so many other countries that may have secretly acquired extraordinary means.
World War I was a war among great powers for hegemony and there was no justice at all. Bruce did not want the war to escalate in intensity and cause more civilian casualties.
"We could have prevented this from happening."
Bruce said, "If I had made it clear to Diana before, even in a dream, don't easily agree to other people's wishes..."
"it's useless."
Katum suddenly said, "Let's not talk about whether Diana could listen to you at that time, let alone, if you really want to do this, I will stop you."
"Why?" Bruce was puzzled.
"Because our goal is not to prevent a war, this is what is bound to happen."
Katum said, "Our goal is to capture Diana!"
No matter how intense the First World War was, it would have implanted the shadow of war deeply in people's hearts and might have prevented the outbreak of the Second World War.
"You know Diana's personality now. She is a reckless girl. She is stubborn and will not turn back until she hits the wall. She will not listen to your advice."
Katum said, “Someone once said that when doing mass work, if the masses do not understand you and do not follow you, then you should follow the masses.
“When the masses fall into a pit, you jump in with them. When the masses realize their previous mistakes, they will naturally be willing to follow you.
"It's the same with Diana. She makes mistakes, and you don't have to act like a dad and keep nagging her. You have to make mistakes with her.
"Wait until she realizes her mistake, then work with her to correct it. This is the correct approach.
"Of course, Bruce, I know you're unwilling to do this because of your inexplicable sense of morality.
"So from the beginning, I decided to be the bad guy."
Bruce found it difficult to understand Katum's series of words for a moment.
He couldn't help but ask, "Who told you this?"
"I won't tell you." Katum shook his head. "Well, now you and Diana have more important things to do."
There is so much to figure out right now.
Which sea queen is allied with France?
Which countries are left to make wishes, and what kind of power will they gain?
such as--
Katum remembered that in Diana's story, someone made this wish in a dream:
"My country was founded on the ocean, and I hope to gain more favor from the land!"
This sounds very much like the UK.
Of course it could also be Venice, Spain or Italy.
But no matter what, the favor of the earth, what kind of power does this represent?
Bruce had returned to the hotel. He handed the newspaper to Diana. After reading it, she immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
"The Atlanteans joined the war? Why?"
She said in despair, "Is it because of me..."
Diana is no stranger to the underwater kingdom.
The Amazons and Atlanteans are both secret races living on Earth and have been in contact with each other for thousands of years.
They have had conflicts and cooperation, but without exception, they have kept their distance from humans.
Now, because of human war, the Kingdom of Atlantis has appeared, which is obviously contrary to common sense.
The only explanation is that Diana’s wish came true!
"They told me that it was to safeguard the peace and protect the people!"
Diana couldn't believe it. "But this newspaper said..."
However, it is said that France and Atlantis will work together to form an alliance and eliminate the evil countries that destroy the peace.
wipe out……
This declaration seemed to be for peace, but Diana sensed that it was a show of force.
She is just naive, not stupid. She knows the history of human wars over the past five thousand years very well.
Before, Diana just thought that human beings began to fall because they were bewitched by Ares.
But now, it was Diana who fulfilled their wishes.
"Am I the source of their further depravity?" When Diana thought of this reason, she fell into great panic.
"It's okay Diana!"
Bruce quickly said, "This ability was imposed on you by Ares. It has nothing to do with you!"
It's all Ares' fault!
"But--"
Diana was about to retort, but Bruce interrupted her and said, "Besides, even if such a mistake occurred, so what? Can't we just correct it?"
Isn’t it just a few more superheroes or supervillains?
After all, all of this was created or summoned by the mysterious Citrine, and Citrine was the creation of the God of Trickery.
Then its upper limit will never exceed that of the Old Gods!
Just like the reassurance Katoom had given before, it was impossible for Citrine to summon a new god like Darkseid.
It's beyond its capabilities.
In this case, Bruce is confident that he and Diana may not be unable to defeat these guys.
"Diana, let me tell you, it's not terrible to make mistakes!"
Bruce looked Wonder Woman firmly in the eyes, “I will work with you to eliminate these wrong wishes one by one!
"I'm not making a wish, I'm showing you the future!"
They can do it!
Diana stared at Bruce blankly, not understanding why a child less than fourteen years old was more confident than herself.
Just like never being defeated by difficulties.
"Bruce..."
She said, "What on earth have you been through that you remain so calm?"
Bruce smiled faintly: "You will understand when you reach my age!"
……
Diana's anxiety gradually subsided.
They have no time now and must act quickly.
"Let's start our investigation with the Sea Queen!"
Bruce said, "We need some high-level intelligence about France. How did they get in touch with Atlantis? And what is the exact identity of the Queen of the Sea?"
Diana asked in confusion, "How do we get high-level intelligence?"
"Then we need to use our connections."
Bruce said, "It just so happens that I know a senior British official who should be able to help us."
"Do you know any senior British officials?"
Diana didn't believe it at all. "Who is it? We haven't been apart since we left the island."
Bruce is not British. If he knows senior British officials, then she should know them too.
"Sir Patrick Morgan."
Bruce didn't keep anyone in suspense and just said the name directly.
Seeing that Diana was still confused, he further explained: "Of course, you know this person, he is Ares."
Ares?!
Diana is going crazy. What kind of bad idea is Bruce coming up with?
Ares had put them in this state, and now they were asking him for help?
"Don't be so nervous!"
Bruce shook his head, "Ares cares about you a lot, so we can use this method against him in return.
"Believe me, what villains can't stand the most is decent people asking them for help!"
……
Half a day later, two uninvited guests came to the gate of Morgan Manor on the outskirts of London.
Sir Morgan, or Ares, looked at the visitor outside the manor with a confused look on his face.
Diana looked embarrassed and was supported by Bruce to the door of his house.
Bruce smiled apologetically.
"sorry."
He said weakly, "But at this time, we really can't think of anyone who can help us."
After saying this, Bruce sighed in his heart.
pity.
He originally wanted to save this trick for Gotham and use it against the Joker.
