Chapter 179 Red Son
“How can we be so optimistic?”
Bruce shook his head and continued writing in his little notebook.
In contrast to his calmness, Diana was very anxious at this moment.
"What are we still waiting for here?"
She urged, "There are two Adventers right in front of us, why don't we deal with them?"
In Diana's opinion, since they were two against two, they had a chance of winning.
Black Adam is a wizard, and Bruce is also a wizard.
The Sea Queen was an Atlantean, while Diana was an Amazon.
The opponents have already been divided, can't we just go ahead and do it?
But Bruce kept stopping her and not letting her join the battle, which made Diana a little angry.
"I'm not stopping you from coming forward!"
Bruce said, "But are you sure there are only two Adventers on the battlefield now?"
"What do you mean?" Diana was stunned.
"See for yourself."
Bruce stretched out his finger and pointed, and the battlefield changed in an instant.
Surrounded by the seven deadly sins, Black Adam released all of his divine power.
Dark clouds covered the city, blocking out the sky and the sun, and the day turned into night.
On the other hand, the waters of the Meuse and Ourthe rivers were almost drained by the Sea Queen.
The water columns from the backflowing river danced wildly in the wind like countless twisted mad dragons.
The so-called end of the world is just like this.
The guards in the Liege Fortress had already taken refuge inside the fortress, and the German army had stopped crossing the river and was retreating to prevent themselves from being affected.
Black Adam and the Sea Queen seem to be about to start the final battle at this moment.
However, at this moment, a strange force began to intervene in their battle.
Green saplings began to grow from the low-lying grass on the ground. The growth rate was beyond human imagination. In the blink of an eye, the fortress was surrounded by a dense forest.
The forest is impenetrable and has become a new protection for the fortress.
This sense of security is just like the natural fortress of the Ardennes Forest in southeastern Belgium.
Then, a strange human figure covered in green emerged from the mud.
He was wrapped in green plants, like a tall tree man, with red eyes, as if he had joined the battlefield with boundless anger.
Swamp monster.
He didn't know how long he had been lurking here, just waiting for this critical moment to join the battlefield.
"You're going to ruin everything here!"
His voice was extremely deep and rich, as if the ancient will of the earth was speaking.
"You can fight, but you can't destroy the ecology here!"
Although the swamp monster said this, he knew very well who his opponent was now.
Black Adam.
He and the Queen of Atlantis represent Britain and France respectively and are open allies.
At this moment, the balance of the battlefield shifted, and even though Black Adam had the power of the seven deadly sins, he still felt the pressure.
The Atlantean army of the Sea Queen, the green will behind the swamp monster.
None of them are things he can solve easily.
"very good."
Black Adam suddenly retracted the divine power in his hand, "It seems that this time, we can't tell the result for the time being!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky and landed right on Black Adam.
When the lightning disappeared, Black Adam and the Seven Deadly Sins disappeared.
The Queen of the Sea frowned and began to slowly retract her power. The waters of the two rivers returned to their original positions.
but--
"The original ecology of the river has been completely destroyed by you!"
The swamp monster suddenly began to accuse the sea queen, "You can fight, but you must respect the life in the water!"
"I don't need you to teach me this!" The Queen of the Sea retorted, "We Atlanteans respect marine life the most!"
“How do you define life?”
The swamp monster asked back, "That move you made just now not only engulfed all the fish and shrimp in the river, but also destroyed the environment of the aquatic plants!"
"Shut up, monster!"
The Sea Queen was too lazy to talk nonsense with the swamp monster anymore. She hung the trident behind her and turned to leave.
The swamp monster stared at her back with its red eyes.
"You're going to pay!" he said.
"If you keep talking, I'll kill you too!"
After leaving these words, the Queen of the Sea left with the Atlantis army.
The first battle of Fortress Liege ended with the departure of Black Adam and the defeat of the German army.
No one knows whether Black Adam will make a comeback or change the battlefield.
The Swamp Monster and the Sea Queen can't stay here forever.
The war continues.
……
Bruce retracted his telescope and wrote down the abilities that the swamp monster displayed after it appeared.
Diana also frowned.
"How do you know there's someone hiding nearby?" she asked. "Did you see him?"
"No, I just took precautions."
Bruce shook his head and said, "While the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is unaware of the situation behind it. It's always a good idea to be more careful."
He is not in an optimistic mood now.
The abilities displayed by those adventers should not be underestimated. Even if he joins forces with Diana, it will be difficult for him to deal with two at the same time.
Moreover, the war had just begun, and these people were in the stage of testing each other. If something went wrong, they would stop immediately.
It is not realistic now to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between two tigers.
and--
"Diana, I don't know why, but I suddenly feel very unsure."
Bruce said, "We are hiding in the dark, looking for an opportunity to strike, but now there is another person in an even darker place." That is the seventh Adventer.
If Bruce fights with the other six, it will be easier for others to take advantage of him.
"So, Diana, I need you to cooperate with me now!"
Bruce plans to do something to Diana.
"How to cooperate?" Diana was a little confused.
"I want to extract your memory."
Bruce said, "If we can hear how the seventh person made his wish, it will be easier to determine his identity!"
"But I don't remember." Diana said regretfully, "Memories in dreams are fuzzy to begin with. I forget most of them when I wake up, let alone these details."
"I know, so I'm going to extract your memory."
Bruce said, "During this process, you cannot be on guard against me at all. After all, you have a special physique. If you resist even a little, my magic will fail."
"so……"
Diana understood what Bruce meant, "You need me to trust you completely?"
"Yes."
Bruce nodded and organized his words, "During my operation, you need to be completely defenseless. This is to make the magic succeed. I have no bad intentions..."
He kept thinking about what words would make Diana agree.
After all, opening your brain completely to another person is an extremely dangerous thing.
At least Bruce believed that he would never agree to such a request.
It would be normal if Diana refused.
However, to his surprise, Diana nodded directly after understanding what Bruce meant.
"What did I think?"
She said, "So how are you going to do it? Do you need me to close my eyes?"
Diana's unrestrained attitude was a little beyond Bruce's expectations.
"Do you trust me so much?" he said. "Aren't you afraid that I might take advantage of the situation to control your mind or something?"
"You won't do that."
Diana shook her head. "I don't know what you're always worried about. Anyway, I already believed in you."
This……
Bruce really didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Maybe he was a dark person himself, and when he suddenly met someone as free and easy as Diana, he actually felt healed.
"thank you for trusting me."
Bruce sighed, "Let's get started then."
Diana nodded, moved her face closer, closed her eyes, and really didn't take any precautions.
"Kiss her!" Katum suddenly said in Bruce's ear.
"Kiss her!" Zurna's voice also rang out in the Mind Hall.
"Ouch!" The little Sky Comet Dragon Halley suddenly poked his head out of the bag on the owl's chest.
These were all very pertinent suggestions, but Bruce didn't listen to any of them.
He literally just stretched out the Supreme Wand and pulled out a silver thread in Diana's brain, which contained the memory of the dream.
Nothing else was done.
"Ugh--"
Sighs came one after another, expressing regret for not being able to make the best use of one's talents.
Bruce pretended not to hear anything.
Diana opened her eyes and saw the little head popping out of the small leather bag on Katum's chest.
"Wow!"
She suddenly exclaimed, "What is this?"
"My little brother!" Katum said, "She has been living in this bag all her life. Do you want to hold her?"
Of course Diana had no objection. She reached out and held Harley in her palm.
The little Sky Comet Dragon was now only the size of her palm, and was also very silly. It spit out a sip of red dragon air into Diana's hand, and then began to grin foolishly.
"Is this your little brother?"
Diana wondered, "But she's a girl."
"It doesn't matter. I don't care about that." Owl said, "Girls can be my subordinates too. I'm very open-minded."
Just as Diana's attention was distracted by Harley, Bruce had already begun to analyze this memory.
It didn't require any special means. He had just taken a meditation basin from Professor Gale's office.
Putting his face into the Pensieve, Bruce saw the black stone throne in his dream, the black mud crawling out of the abyss, and Diana's white ankles.
Soon, he heard the wish in his dream.
Seven people indeed.
The first six wishes can all correspond to the six adventers today, only the last one is different from the others.
"I want the power to truly make the world equal, to resist all oppression, and to eliminate all hierarchies."
The man said, "If it is such a power, he will naturally be powerful and unbeatable."
Bruce abruptly pulled his face out of the Pensieve.
"I see!"
He murmured, "I know who the one who made the wish is!"
What Bruce saw could not be hidden from Katum.
Their souls were connected, and everything in the meditation basin was seen by the owl.
"Oh haha——"
The owl said, "Then I thought a little deeper than you might have. I even guessed who was summoned."
A red wish will only summon a red hero.
He is powerful, fair, and selfless, meeting all the requirements of the wisher.
"Red Son."
Katoom said the name.
