Volume 8: The Fourth Impact Chapter 6 Dachao: I have a son! Master: What a coincidence? I have one too.
In a defeated land filled with deadly radiation, the Octant transport ship was quietly parked among the ruins ravaged by war.
The bleak darkness became its best cover, and the occasional sound of the strings blocked out all eavesdropping and tracking, allowing the conversation between the "enemy" and the " stranger " to continue undisturbed.
The space in the troop transport ship was not large, not to mention that it had to accommodate a biological capsule used to interfere with the stability of the X gene and a group of Conqueror recruits who were hesitant and full of fear for the future. However, the remaining space was enough for several members of Team K to gather around the operating table and listen to the Queen of Justice, who was holding her child, tell her outrageous love story.
The queen, who has always been tough and strong, is now full of gentle maternal love. It is hard to imagine that such a gentle expression would appear on the face of such an outstanding female warrior.
But the fact is that she is now holding the child who does not belong to her husband in the most gentle manner ever in her life.
"It's complicated..."
Her Majesty the Queen opened with these classic words.
"We are not in a hurry. You can take your time and start from the beginning without missing any details."
Mason next to him said.
Like everyone else around him, he was filled with a certain gossipy interest in the matter, and he could feel his curiosity stirring for the first time in a long time.
Faced with a complex world where Batman and Wonder Woman come together, but Wonder Woman also marries Superman, it is worth spending as much time as possible to explore the relationship between the three giants.
What's more, the opportunity for contact that they wanted to get by infiltrating the lord's world was already within reach.
This child!
The birth of this baby, whose name is composed of various information about Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, will bring more changes to this world and even other worlds.
Compared to Mason's thoughts, Barbara and Catwoman didn't have so many ideas. They just wanted to listen to the love story of the mother in front of them.
As for Harley and Quinn, their thoughts at this time were even simpler.
boring!
I want to eat a huge melon mouth tooth!
"It all started with the sudden appearance of the conqueror."
The Queen of Justice could feel her own weakness. The divine power on which she relied was drained away . Although she was confident that she could defeat everyone in front of her with her bare hands, considering that her son was in her arms, she gave up the idea of armed confrontation.
Maybe it's to buy time.
Perhaps it was her innate sensitivity as the Queen of Justice that allowed her to detect the aura of Mason that was not that of an enemy, or perhaps it was simply because of the hormonal changes after giving birth.
Anyway, she leaned on the operating table, holding her child, and whispered her story.
“Before they arrived, this world had its own order running, and we once called ourselves the Justice League to work as a whole to maintain world stability and peace.
People love us.
We also believe that it is a lifelong career, but strength always brings challenges, challenges bring conflicts, and conflicts evolve into wars.
Humanity... has never been a concept of unity.
As much as they love us, they hate us, and we were foolish enough to think that it could all be reconciled until The Flash died at the hands of Lex Luthor.
But seeing the death of our comrades with our own eyes made us face the reality. On that day, the Justice League died along with Barry Allen. It was Luthor who killed it.
We killed it.”
The Queen of Justice spoke calmly, her eyes fixed on her children, as if she was telling a life story from the past that she no longer cared about.
She said:
"Clark killed Luthor. Bruce wanted to stop him, but I guess he was also filled with anger. Batman rarely failed, perhaps because he also wanted to see another possibility about order.
He didn't kill Luther, he just didn't save him.
Anyway, after that we decided to move forward with a more radical but more effective plan, and we called ourselves the Lords of Justice.
We divide the world but do not rule it, merely providing 'advice' to various political bodies as consultants, and 'neutralizing' the lives we identify as threats.
At first everything was going great, the world was having its most peaceful decade and we thought everything was going right, but then things took a turn for the worse.
Bruce saw the fundamental risks of an authoritarian world and wanted to adjust our style, but Clark wouldn't let that happen.
Especially after Louise Lane also died in a crisis, he, having lost his beloved, could no longer allow any evil and darkness to exist in this world.
His divinity finally completely overwhelmed his humanity.
He even began to manage us with the methods of managing order, which made me realize the risks, so I chose to cooperate with Bruce, and the Lords of Justice were divided into two camps.
We are each preparing for the conflict that is bound to come and that will determine the direction of the entire world.
But fate is so magical and absurd.
On the day we started fighting, just as Bruce and I were about to defeat Clark, the impact came ."
The Queen of Justice smiled, as if she was recalling the scene of that day.
She brushed her long white hair and said:
"We see each other as enemies that must be defeated, fighting for our own definition of 'justice', trying to convince each other with fists and weapons.
However, when the reflection of another world appeared in the sky above our world, everyone stopped fighting at the same time and returned to their previous close relationship in an instant.
Bruce commanded us, and Clark became our best pioneer.
Thanks to our timely intervention, the world filled with strange things that was about to collide with the Earth was destroyed in a short time.
It was a disaster that was prevented, and it reminded us of our original purpose, our differences began to heal, and best of all, after that shock came the conquerors.
Just like you, who appeared quietly and tried to enslave our world, you are like a catalyst, helping us to bridge the differences in our ideas as quickly as possible.
I guess they didn't expect that their conquest would bring a precarious team back to true unity.
But we both knew that the differences still existed and we had to find a way to completely eliminate them, so at Bruce's suggestion, Clark and I got married.
Although I was already pregnant with Bruce's child two months after that.
Yes, we are in love.
Under the tremendous pressure brought by Clark, we can only huddle together for warmth.
We have similar experiences, common ideals and common enemies, which are enough to bring together the world's strongest female warrior and the smartest brain."
"Oh my god, this is such a mess!"
Catwoman complained quietly, and Batgirl, who was eating a lot of watermelon beside her, asked:
"But does Dachao know about this? I mean, about your pregnancy."
"Do you think this kind of thing can be hidden from the perception of Kryptonians?"
The Queen of Justice asked back with a smile that said, "Are you stupid?" When she saw the strange expressions on everyone's faces, she shook her head and said:
"This marriage is just a formality. Clark is destined to never forget Lois. He is a passionate man, and my relationship with Bruce has never been affected by this formal marriage.
This may be a good outcome for everyone.
Most importantly, our marriage brings confidence to a world shrouded in the shadow of war! They believe that the reunited lords of justice can lead the world to ultimate victory."
“They believe it, but do you?”
Mason asked back:
“In order to prevent the war from further destroying the world, you even used forbidden items like the Black Lantern Ring to weaken the impact of the war by violating the laws of life and death. Although I can see that this world can still maintain order under the protection of the lords, in fact, its vitality is gradually being exhausted.
You are also well aware of this.
My Queen, I repeat.
Although I belong to the Conqueror's Brotherhood, I am not here with bad intentions. I just defeated them in my world. I have my own plans and ideas for the future, and my purpose here is to find like-minded allies. "
"impossible!"
Queen Justice said with absolute certainty:
"Clark will not cooperate with you. If you have listened carefully to my story just now, you should know that he has become a 'moral tyrant' in every sense of the word.
I respect him and trust him, but don't expect him to trust you. Alliances are impossible."
"I didn't expect to talk to Superman either. He's not the one who can make decisions in your team, even though he looks like a leader."
Mason grinned and said:
"I want to talk to the real mastermind, your lover, the father of your child, the one you truly love. I want to talk to Bruce Wayne!"
"Do you think it's possible?"
Diana scoffed and tied the cloak that wrapped the baby in her arms around herself .
She flexed her fists and fingers and said:
"Thank you for your curiosity about the story, and thank you for giving me so much time to recover. I don't know what your Wonder Woman looks like.
But for me, this little break is enough for me to play another game.”
As she spoke, the tough mother rubbed her neck, making a sound of bones colliding, and an aura of dominating the battlefield burst out, making her unique black and white hair fly.
She jumped off the operating table, stretched out her finger and swept forward, saying:
"You guys come together, my son and I are in a hurry."
"I've already guessed it. You Amazons are notorious for not taking any push or push."
Mason scoffed at this, reached out and took out a black remote control and pressed it lightly.
The Queen of Justice, who was full of fighting spirit, suddenly changed her expression and her entire momentum collapsed. She fell to the ground in a daze and weakness, and was pinned down on the shoulders by Catwoman and Barbara on the left and right.
Harley rushed forward and snatched the baby tied to her chest, hiding behind the little sweetheart while comforting her.
"I performed the surgery on you myself, Queen. Do you think that I, who was carefully taught by another Batman, would not have left behind some countermeasures?"
The captain stepped forward and squatted down, looking at the Lord of Justice who had a ferocious expression but was completely powerless, and said:
“I consider myself a good person, but past experiences have taught me to equip kindness with bayonets and to wear armor for mercy. I said I want to talk to Gray Bat.
I will definitely be able to have a good chat with him.”
As he spoke, he reached out and pulled off the earring on the left ear of the Queen of Justice, then signaled Barbara to reduce the operating power of the anti-monitoring module. He then took apart the earring and pinched out a gray device from it.
"Bruce Wayne, I know you're listening!"
Mason activated the device, and said to the other side amid the weak roar and struggle of the Queen of Justice:
“Clark might be with you too, so listen up, both of you!
The wife of one of you and the son of the other are in my hands. I know I shouldn't show friendliness and seek communication in this way, but unfortunately your overly unique behavior didn't give me much opportunity to express myself.
So, let's take this opportunity to make things clear."
"I'm listening."
The signature hoarse voice came from the communicator. Although it was calm, one could feel the anger in it.
It was the rage from the bottom of a man's heart when he learned that his lover and child were held hostage. It was a terrifying thing that could burn the world.
The Gray Master of this world did not make any threats. He would never do such useless things.
"Get ready and come to see me alone."
Mason said:
“Don’t bring anyone else. Let Clark Kent stay on the other side of the earth. I promise you that no matter what the result of our conversation is, I will return Lady Diana to you.
But if you are unwilling to follow our agreement , I can also promise you that you will never see your child again in your life."
"When? Where!"
The master asked briefly, and Mason looked at his watch and said:
"In an hour, the location is in the Batcave. You don't need to tell me how to get there. I'm very familiar with the place. Perhaps talking in your territory will make you feel more comfortable."
After saying that, Mason crushed the communicator in his hand.
"You are walking into a trap!"
The Queen of Justice, who was pinned to the ground, raised her head and said sarcastically:
"You thought of making a deal with Bruce on his territory. If this is suicide, I would applaud your brilliant idea if you dare to let them let me go."
"Ahem, before we set off, I want to clarify one thing with you, Your Majesty."
Mason was not angry. He leisurely took out the helmet of the Red Death, the eye mask of the Drowned Ghost and the tooth of the Dragon of Doom from his bag, as if he was showing off his trophies.
He said to Diana Prince, whose face changed slightly:
"Before this, three Batmen have died in my hands. I really don't mind breaking this record again. You see, I know Bruce Wayne very thoroughly, his thinking, his methods and his trump cards.
But he knew nothing about me.
I believe there is a similar tradition in your world, if you want to win, don't challenge Batman to a fight... Just now, Bruce Wayne challenged me to a fight.
Guess who would win if a conflict really happened?"
He put his hand on the head of the Queen of Justice, helped her comb her messy long hair, and whispered:
"So if you really love him, you should know not to expect a fight between us. That is the true way for you to protect your loved ones. What's more, I don't think he would risk losing his only bloodline to go to war with me.
You and I both know how deeply Bruce Wayne longs for a complete family, and he will not destroy what he has longed for his entire life."
Diana moved her lips as if she wanted to refute but in the end she chose to remain silent.
Mason is right.
She couldn't refute a single word.
"So we're leaving now?"
Barbara reached out and teased the baby in Harley's arms. After knowing that this was Bruce Wayne's child, Batgirl regarded the child as a member of the Bat Family.
This person is also theoretically her descendant.
"No, we stay here."
Mason took out a battle armor containment tank from his bag and activated it while saying:
"Clark and Bruce won't act rashly, but that doesn't mean they won't make rescue preparations. The guests are coming soon, and we also have our own mission on this trip.
So wait a little longer, the famous fast boy will never be late for such things. "
