Chapter 997: A Conversation That Could Not Be Called Enlightening
The Justice League’s secret adventure has come to an end for the time being.
They now need a long period of time to recover their respective states. After experiencing a double test of will and body, a short rest is the best choice.
Although there are no facilities for them to have fun on the Holy Mountain of Harrogas, there is no messy trivial matter in this place.
"Wayne, can I call back? I've been away from home for a long time, and I'm a little worried that they will be anxious." Shazam has transformed into Billy again. Although he still looks like a teenager, his temperament has become much more mature.
"Of course, Ancestor Kolik said we can rest for at least a week. Of course, it's possible that you have to rest for a week before you can return to normal." Wayne said to Billy.
For this young man, Wayne's admiration is increasing little by little.
At least Shazam is a very good hero now.
"Then can I go directly to New York? I mean I have to go there. After all, that guy Namor seems to need me to meet his friends." Arthur held a hand in his hand. A can of beer, with a bit of contentment on his face.
"I'll send you there in a minute, but I have to bring you back in a week. How about I help you contact Steve?" Wayne said.
Although Korik didn't tell him what happened to Shazam, Wayne knew from Korik's expression that it didn't seem to be a trivial matter that could be treated lightly.
"As long as I can see that Steve, it will be good, although I always feel that the impatient Namor has already taken the time to contact his comrades." Arthur behaved very indifferently.
He has a carefree temperament, although he does not lack a sense of responsibility.
"The Flash seems to be trying the practice of a monk? It's called a monk, right? That's the profession of Craig, who has a calm face but is full of vicissitudes of life." Arthur asked.
"Yes, he does not intend to become a Nephalem, and the Nephalem will not force others to make choices." Wayne said.
The Flash doesn't plan to become a monk, but he is learning boxing from Craig...
According to him, you can't just pull out a dagger when facing any enemy.
So he needed a method that could enhance his combat effectiveness, so he focused on the basic boxing skills of the monk.
Even if there is no way to activate the power in the blood like the Nephalem, this is still a good fighting skill.
Few nephalem combat techniques include acrobatics, as demons are often grotesque.
If Xuancheng had learned joint skills when he was in Sanctuary, then this guy might not be able to find friends...
After all, human joint skills are more effective on humans.
"I have to go and have a good sleep. It would be better if there was a lake on this mountain." Arthur waved his hand, then left with the beer.
No one cares where he goes. There is no place on the holy mountain of barbarians where people cannot be seen.
Even if you plan to visit the Temple of the Elders, as long as you can ignore Volusk's scrutinizing gaze.
Unless someone is using it, it won't be that troublesome.
“We are the weak side now, and it seems a little difficult to protect the security of the world.” Wayne said to himself.
"So your best choice is to become stronger as soon as possible. As long as you don't choose to become a demon, you can try any way to become stronger." Kolik walked to Wayne's side.
Kolic's eyes were somewhat kind, he had already been an old man.
Although the appearance of the nephalem has little to do with age, when the heart grows old, the appearance will also age.
But this will not affect their strength.
Wayne glanced at Korik, as if he wanted to say something.
“You don’t have to ask, I don’t know what changes will happen after becoming a demon, because I haven’t tried it. But all the nephalem that I have seen become demons are ultimately just demons. No one is immune."
Kolik shook his head.
He believes that Wayne will not choose to become a demon, because the world is not bad enough to require Wayne to give up everything to gain power.
There is no catastrophe in this world that will exterminate humanity, but the current situation is indeed a little worse.
But the human side still has the upper hand. As long as humans do not separate themselves from the Nephalem, then the Nephalem will always be the guardian of the human side.
"So why would someone choose to become a demon?" Wayne asked.
"Who knows? Maybe it's despair, or maybe it's just a simple desire to gain power. To be honest, it's normal to become stronger after becoming a demon, but it's almost only a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.< br>
If the demon wants to continue to become stronger, it needs to pay a lot more than Nephalem." Korik said.
For example, that guy Vidien has worked hard for countless years, and only after killing the Poison King Joriz and devouring Rakanos did he achieve his current strength.
But in the eyes of the three demon gods, he is actually nothing but a real demon king.
As for Bulkesso and Li Min, the time they spent to obtain this kind of power was not even a fraction of that of Vidien.
So Kolik can’t explain why someone would choose to become a demon.
"I understand, did Bulkaso leave the Holy Mountain to meet Rorschach?" Wayne asked.
"That should be the case. That boy Rorschach may be the one that Burqasso admires the most, although I think Sonya is the best candidate." Kolik nodded.
He didn’t want to say too much about Bulkaiso’s choice, just like Bulkaiso rarely restricted their actions, and was even extra tolerant of barbarians who violated his will.
No one among the barbarians on the holy mountain would question Bulkesso's choice.
I just won’t question it, but I’m not blindly obedient.
There is no way, who makes this guy Bulcaisuo be considered easy to talk to among the barbarians.
If it were that guy Warusk, he would have already taken action the moment someone questioned him.
"The previous secret realm was actually to make us all feel the pain in our souls like Shazam, right? It doesn't look like your handiwork." Wayne said.
He guessed it, although it didn’t take much effort to guess.
The guy from Hailab mentioned this matter more than once before.
It’s just that Wayne didn’t have a true understanding of Hailab’s words before.
"Yes, you should all thank that boy Shazam. Hailab should have made an agreement with Orec. I have experienced the poison of the choker. It happens to be the kind that corrodes the soul. I interrupted it. You get to experience that," Kolik said.
After finishing speaking, Kolik seemed to be a little apologetic.
"To feel the damage Baal has caused to our souls through a kind of soul damage? Is this the original plan of Hellab?" Wayne asked.
"That's right. I intervened because Shazam's soul seemed to be affected by something else. So I thought it was time to intervene." Korik didn't mean to hide it. , he directly expressed his thoughts.
Wayne nodded, but his face was visibly serious.
He remembered that Shazam's soul was affected by an unknown source.
Wayne will find a way to investigate this matter. After all, Shazam is a young hero he admires.
"I remember that the barbarian style of doing things is to do it right at the first time? So has Hailab prepared anything new for us?" Wayne asked. He knew that Hailab's purpose had not been achieved, and there must be new plans.
I asked at this time just out of curiosity.
"Of course, he prepared something, but we all tried to stop him before. You know, stubborn barbarians will not change their will even if they are tied up with ropes, so we compromised with each other." Sighed.
He was thinking about how to tell Wayne what Hailab planned to do. This matter was somewhat complicated.
Kelik felt that his lack of vocabulary made it difficult to explain this matter clearly.
"But don't worry, there is no risk this time." Kerik just said this after a long time.
This time the risk is entirely borne by Hailab himself.
Wayne and the others just need to see it for a long time and realize the seriousness of their situation.
As for whether Hailab will do some unnecessary things, Kolik is not worried.
Because he and several other ancestors will be watching at the scene. Once Hailab plans to do something high-risk, they will immediately intervene.
As for whether to stop or help, we have to see what changes will happen in time.
“I think sometimes we should also have the right to choose.” Wayne said hesitantly.
He cared about it very much, and he didn't like being played with like a toy.
Although Wayne would be very touched by being constantly protected like a child, he was not very willing to accept such kindness.
Until now, Wayne is thinking about how to target Bulcasso, because in his eyes Bulcaisso is also a huge threat.
Of course, after he became a barbarian, he became a threat himself.
He could only think of ways to target himself, but for Bulcasso, a guy who had not shown his full power within his sight, Wayne still could not think of any satisfactory solution.
Bulcaisel is alone most of the time. Even if he wants to use some dirty methods, Wayne can't find a suitable target...
This is quite frustrating for Wayne. matter.
"Indeed, I also think that every life should have the right to choose, but in the face of survival, the choice does not seem to be that difficult." Kolik sighed.
He was once an idealist, but he has long been unable to act recklessly.
Unless a person with responsibilities lives entirely for himself, he must make some changes more or less.
Korik understood this, so he no longer persisted in his naive ideas.
It’s just that he felt that Wayne seemed to have hope of being able to make choices according to his own wishes.
"By the way, how is the situation in your city? Do you need me to go over and help you clean up the demons?" Kolik changed the subject abruptly.
"Gotham? The situation there is not bad, at least the bad guys without brains have turned into demons. And the ones with brains are fighting demons." Wayne said.
He had never thought of this situation before.
According to his previous thoughts, most of the villains in Gotham should turn into demons and continue to wreak havoc.
It’s just that there are only a few villains who have turned into demons now. Among the more powerful and difficult villains, it is even rarer to turn into demons.
Within the scope of human beings, Wayne does not mind limited cooperation with villains.
"So don't bother me, ancestors, and I will take care of everything over there." Wayne said with a firm voice.
This is his decision, for Gotham City Wayne is reluctant to ask for help from others.
Although this somewhat treats Gotham City as his own private property, there is no problem with Wayne viewing Gotham City this way.
Gotham has the surname Wayne!
“You have mastered the rage of the berserker, and now it is almost time to try to master the summoning of the ancestors. I am not talking about summoning the shadow of instinct. But the accurate summoning of the will of a certain ancestor. "
Kolik said very seriously.
“If I were to make a recommendation, I suggest you choose to summon that somewhat lonely guy from Anda Korgas.”
Korik added, but did not intend to explain why in detail.
As a legendary barbarian, Andakulgas is certainly not bad at strength!
It’s just compared to one of the three ancestors, Kolik, or an ancient guy like Hyrab.
Anda Korgas' strength will appear to be somewhat insufficient.
"I will consider it." Wayne did not give a clear answer.
Korik didn't mean to force it, he just nodded to show that he understood.
"That guy from Hairab, if you have a chance, give him a hard punch in the face."
Kolik said these words, then turned around and walked directly left.
What he wanted to say has been said. Wayne is a smart man and will definitely understand what he means.
Kelik is very satisfied with this.
Next, Korik is going to see Luke. Madoc has disappeared, but there is still a little bit of Madoc in Luke.
As for what Warusk said about the secret realm that allowed him to communicate with Madoc's will, Kolik was not ready yet.
Although he believed that Volusk, as the immortal king of the previous generation, would not harm him, Kolik was also worried about what dangerous things Volusk planned to do.
Most of the barbarians are crazy in the eyes of ordinary people. This is something that Korik himself knows very well.
After all, with anger as the power of fighting, it would be a bit strange if the emotions were the same as ordinary people.
Barbarians actually want to be good at singing and dancing and don't need to worry about survival, but the damn world in Sanctuary makes all humans live without dignity!
At this time, Hailab was looking at Wayne from a distance, his expression also looked thoughtful.
Obviously, what Helab is about to do is not an easy job.
It’s just that most Nephalem are accustomed to the existence of pressure, and then learn to ignore those pressures.
This course has long been something that Nephalem must master, and most of those guys who did poorly in this course have turned into demons.
Life is not easy for humans, at least not as easy as imagined.
