On the watchtower, the atmosphere was stagnant. All the heroes of the Justice League had arrived!
Barry had a look of self-blame on his face. He could still remember when he arrived. He was just a split second away. That split second was enough for the Flash to circle the earth twice, but he couldn't make it in time. He could have saved everything … if he was fast enough, but this time, for some reason, he wasn't so fast.
He could only watch as Arthur died.
Namor let him take away Arthur and Amu's bodies. He also saw Mela's desperate and pained eyes. Siren even returned to the watchtower with Barry to send Arthur off.
Arthur lay among the flowers. His face was the same as when he was alive, but a little pale. Superman sat beside Arthur, looking at his comrade sadly. Steel Bones buried his head between his arms, unwilling to raise his head for a long time. Diana suppressed her emotions, afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold back and tear Batman apart!
"First Shazan, then the Eagle Man and Eagle Girl, and now Arthur … How long are we going to wait? How many comrades are going to die just like that?" Diana couldn't help but explode in the end. She said angrily to Batman, "You always look like you're hiding secrets in your heart … I know you have your own plans. Now you just need to tell me … How many more people will die? Will that be enough? "
Batman said hoarsely, "Diana … This isn't what I want to see either!"
"I know who you're afraid of. You're afraid of the Second Prophet, but we already know the enemy. Why don't we fight him head-on?"
Diana tied the Lasso of Truth, took the Godslayer and the shield, and was ready to fight to the death. She said to Batman, "Since we know where the enemy is, let's kill our way over! Kill our way to the World Security Council. I think you should have figured out where they are, right? "
Batman said in a low voice, "Diana … we can't do this."
"What are you waiting for? No matter how powerful the enemy is, don't you even have the courage to fight? "
"Because there's no hope in this world other than us!" Batman said. "It's not that I don't have the courage, but we carry this world on our backs. We have a huge responsibility, and this responsibility makes us cautious … even if we have to sacrifice ourselves. I'm about to solve the mystery, Diana, but we have to first deal with the enemy he created for us before we can come to him and fight one last time. "
"Our world is about to end!" Batman glanced at the report in his hand. "There are still three months …"
"I must find the last few pieces of the puzzle and solve that person's plan in the time that Arthur and the others have bought with their lives."
"How many more pieces of the puzzle do you need?" Diana asked softly.
"There aren't many pieces left …" Batman said sadly. "What I'm afraid of is … what if I can't find a way to save our world even after I solve all the puzzles?"
"You're Batman … Batman always has a way!" Superman appeared behind Batman and pressed on his shoulder as he spoke softly.
"Go check on Barry!" Superman sighed. "He is blaming himself …"
Only then did everyone turn their attention to Barry. Sure enough, Barry was sitting on a chair, hugging himself in a daze. At this moment, Steel Bones suddenly frowned. He said to the other members of the Alliance of Justice, "Guys, Quinn is contacting us … He doesn't seem to be in good condition." Steel Bones transferred Quinn's signal to the big screen in the watchtower.
Green Arrow, who was preparing to attend Arthur's funeral in Star City, didn't look too good.
Green Arrow was pierced in the chest by an arrow and nailed to the huge giant star sculpture on the famous Star Bridge in Star City. On the top of another suspension tower opposite him, an archer also holding a bow and arrow looked up at the satellite above his head. This was a photo taken by the satellite of the Sky Eye Association, and Steel Bones urgently mobilized the cameras in Star City.
All of Star City seemed to be in an uproar because of this battle, and there were even TV helicopters rushing over to broadcast it.
According to the pictures taken by the cameras scattered in various locations in Star City, this was a premeditated attack. The attacker nailed an arrow to the hood of Oliver's car when he was about to drive to the Star City Bridge and issued a warning. Then, the two men engaged in a confrontation on the Star City Bridge. In the end, Oliver was defeated by the mysterious enemy and was pierced through the chest by an arrow, nailing him to the highest point of the bridge.
The whole process took less than five minutes.
In the current surveillance footage of the bridge, Oliver seemed to still be breathing. He kept coughing and spitting out pink blood with bubbles. Any hero in the Justice Alliance with a little bit of medical knowledge could tell that this was a sign that his lungs had been pierced. But at least it wasn't a direct hit to the heart, and there was still a chance of saving him.
The Flash disappeared without a reminder!
Oliver's chest was rising and falling weaker. His own weight under the effect of gravity was constantly damaging his lungs … He couldn't hold on for much longer.
The mysterious person who hurt Green Arrow made a throat-slitting gesture at the camera and disappeared.
Everyone thought that the Flash would appear soon, but it took a long minute. In the end, Oliver stopped breathing for a full thirty seconds before a red bolt of lightning took him down. The next second, the Flash brought Oliver back to the Alliance of Justice's infirmary. The paramedics who had been waiting here hurried to perform CPR on Green Arrow.
But Barry still broke down!
He scratched his head and said, "I can't make it … I'm always late. I'm late every time. I could have saved them … I was too late when the Eagle Man died! When Arthur died, it was because I was too late! Oliver died because I was too late! "
All the members of the Alliance of Justice looked at the broken Barry … They didn't know how to comfort him.
Batman's reaction was cold. He knew that the enemy had not only killed Green Arrow, but also Barry. They had defeated two heroes at once. Shazam had died of naivety. He had been plotted against. His strongest power came from Wizard Shazam, so Wizard Shazam was also killed.
The Eagle Man and Eagle Girl died of cursed love. The Eagle Man's strongest power was his pride and will. The Eagle Man was the proudest superhero.
So he died of betrayal because of love. His pride and will were crushed. The arrogant Eagle was smashed into the mud!
Sea King Arthur died in the sea. His strongest power came from the sea, from Atlantis. However, his weakness was also Atlantis. He shouldered the responsibility of a country. So he died in the sea because of Atlantis. He died in the hands of another King of Atlantis.
Green Arrow's strongest point was his archery. His weakness … Fine! He was his weakness. He couldn't beat any slightly stronger enemy … So he was killed by an arrow.
The Flash's weakness was that he was too kind. His strength was in his speed. So the enemy made his speed useless. They made the fastest hero always a step too late. Then, they used the Flash's kind heart to make him blame himself and crush his spirit. The Flash was already dead. If they forced him to go on a mission, he would go crazy.
Moreover, Batman couldn't figure out why the Flash was always one step behind, and there was no way for him to save him.
The Flash's kindness and sense of responsibility made him save one friend after another. He was a hero, but he was too late again and again. This was where the mastermind wanted to defeat him. He wanted the Flash to blame himself again and again. He wanted everyone in the Justice Alliance to see how he tortured the conscience of the Justice Alliance of Justice Alliance.
Next, they would defeat the Heroes at their strongest point again and again, severely injuring the Heroes' weaknesses.
They tortured the conscience of the Justice Alliance, crushed the soul of the Justice Alliance of Justice Alliance, fooled the brains of the Justice Alliance of Justice Alliance, and destroyed everything that the Justice Alliance of Justice Alliance of Justice Alliance was proud of.
Batman told Superman and Wonder Woman his analysis. They might be the next target. As for the others, Batman believed that the mastermind would not bother to deal with other small fries. The only ones worthy of another attack were the three leaders of the Justice Alliance of Justice Alliance.
After everyone saw off Arthur …
