The roar of the Apocalypse Spaceship over New York lasted for a full three hours …
Saber used this method to announce his expulsion of malicious creatures. After emptying the last round of ammunition, Saber became the most terrible executioner of the century with hands stained with blood. In these three hours, 99.9% of the Hydra forces in North America were eliminated in the cruelest way, and the remaining two or three could not cause any trouble at all.
Secondly, there was the Ten Rings gang that had just entered North America, the Secret Order of Vampires entrenched here, the Werewolves who had appeared in the fall of Gotham, and the remnants of the Chitauri who had fled everywhere.
The air above New York was filled with the terrible smell of gunpowder due to the long period of bombardment. However, after this malicious smell, what greeted them was the cleanest land. Seiber didn't dare to say that he had cleansed all the evil with the Heavenly Fire, but the land under his feet was definitely cleaner than ever.
Of course, the accidental death of 17 members of the United States government and more than 300 officials was an unexpected grudge, but Saber did not care. There had never been real peace between him and the government, but if they really wanted revenge, then let them come.
Gotham, suspended in the sky, slowly flew in the direction of Mexico. The floating city that had been reinforced with preliminary reinforcement was still very unstable. Even if the people of the city desperately reinforced the city in order to survive, using various instruments to engrave complex runes, this could not change the reality that the city was falling apart. Looking from the sky, the cracks on the ground of the city were shocking. It was hard to believe that the 2.3 million people who survived in the end had survived until now in this place that could be destroyed at any time.
At this time, in the center of Gotham, in a clean area that had been urgently cleaned, the people who could still move in the city gathered here, and the surrounding ruins were also filled with some confused residents.
They were told that today, here, the future of the city would be determined, and everyone had the right to decide the future of Gotham.
They were at a loss.
In the crack of the Demonic Realm, 70% of the survivors in this city had accepted the power of the monsters in order to survive. They were fundamentally different from ordinary people, not to mention the 600,000 people who were later resurrected. Due to the cruel war, they could not be resurrected with human bodies. Instead, they were resurrected with the bones of the monsters.
This caused many resurrected people to have some characteristics of monsters. In the past, when they had to work hard every minute and second to survive, no one paid attention to these characteristics. But now, after returning to the real world, this became a problem that had to be considered.
That was, were they still considered humans? Would they still be able to integrate into human society?
The problem that the mutants once faced was now placed in front of the citizens of Gotham. Any rational person who thought about it would realize in despair that based on what normal people did to the mutants, they were destined to not be accepted by human society.
They had become the "monsters" that they used to despise or pity …
Most importantly, this change could not be blamed on anyone. This was their own choice. In order to survive, they had no choice but to do so. Many of them even enjoyed it, enjoying the joy of power. But now, they had to bear the price of power.
"If it were up to me, we should take this opportunity to join The Devil Gang!"
In the corner of the crowd, a bald man wearing an orange prison uniform said excitedly, "The Tyrant will definitely let us decide whether to stay or leave. This is a good opportunity. I heard that they want to build a country in Mexico! Only the Tyrant would do such a big thing! "
This guy's clamor made the other members of the Black Gate noisy, attracting the attention of others. Then, they distanced themselves from these lunatics.
The guy who was full of evil did not care about the important decision that was about to be made. He was even eager to try. The thought process of villains was always simple. They would instinctively submit to the stronger ones. In the current Gotham, who was stronger than the city's savior, The Devil Gang?
But to the others, things were not that simple.
"The Tyrant is here!"
Someone shouted, and the restless crowd immediately focused their attention on the platform in front of them. They saw Seiber, who was surrounded by people, striding up the platform. Batman, who usually didn't like to show his face, was beside him, and the hooded Green Arrow, Oliver. His appearance made everyone quiet down.
In the past month or so, Batman, as the leader of the city, used some violent methods to pacify the people. The one who carried out these methods was this sinister man wearing a green hood. It could be said that in this city that was lucky enough to escape, Oliver was the synonym of punishment. Everyone was afraid of him.
In fact, the survivors of Gotham did not realize that in the past month of struggle for survival, they had started to show signs of a violent organization. Perhaps some people had realized it, but they would definitely not expose it. Because in that kind of situation, the existence of this organization would obviously allow more people to survive.
"Silence!"
Sergues grabbed a makeshift microphone and shouted. The sound waves that spread out caused the densely packed square to quiet down. He passed the microphone to Saber. The latter looked at the crowd in front of him. From their eyes, he saw confusion, helplessness, and a trace of fear. Fear for the future.
"Citizens of Gotham, you may or may not know me. That is not important. Today is an insignificant and peaceful day for the rest of the world, but it is not the same for us …"
Saber looked at everyone in front of him calmly and said in a deep voice.
"Today is the first day that Gotham crawled out from hell and once again exists under the sun. It represents the end of suffering and the beginning of a new life. No matter what choice you make in the future, I believe that everyone, everyone who is still standing in this city, should not forget this day. Should not forget how our friends, family, and comrades have protected this city and our lives in the past month or so, and how they have bravely sacrificed themselves …"
This speech was not very impressive, but at this moment, it undoubtedly resonated with everyone. The demons of the Demonic Realm had attacked the survivors of Gotham day after day. Sometimes, they would even launch a surprise attack when everyone was asleep. This kind of questioning of life ensured that everyone who survived was a warrior whose hands were stained with the blood of the demons. Even the women and children were the same.
In that kind of situation, cowards could not survive, and the demons would not spare your life just because you had surrendered.
In the square, some of the naturally emotional women even shed tears as they bathed in the dusk of the modern world. Under this kind of peace, the blood of the sacrifices was buried. Even the noisy prisoners of the Black Gate had quietened down. They were ordered to guard the western part of the city to pay for their past sins. The demons would not let them go, and in the difficult battle, many of their brothers had also died.
Saber felt the rising emotions. He was also silent for a moment before he spoke again.
"We are fighting on the final battlefield of Gotham's war. This is a great place. Here, in this square, a monument will be erected. It will be the final resting place of those who sacrificed everything for the survival of this city. This place will become the holy land of Gotham. No one can ignore it, no one can look down on it!"
"What we are doing is necessary, and we do not need to sanctify or deify this land. Because of the heroes who have fought here, the living and the dead, every one of you, your actions have already sanctified this land. Everything that those heroes have done is not something that can be described with our meager commemoration."
Saber's voice became louder and louder.
"I know that this world, and those ordinary people who always have the most malicious guesses about the actions of the heroes, will not pay much attention to and will not remember what we have said here for a long time. However, this world, it should never forget what the heroes have done here!"
"If they forget, then everyone here will be responsible for it! Remind them to remember again! "
Saber waved his fist. His emotions slowly intertwined with the emotions of everyone present, causing everyone's spirits to become tragic and isolated.
Yes, everything that Saber said before only meant one thing … We are not the same as ordinary people!
He took out a letter and waved it in front of everyone.
"This is the letter I just received from the president in the White House. He requested us to return to the government's rule and promised to give us a 'proper' arrangement! It sounded so sincere that I almost believed it … but unfortunately, in the sky less than 2000 meters away from this city, 347 of the most advanced fighter jets carrying lethal weapons are cruising around us … "
Saber's lips curled into a mocking smile.
"They think that they can use this method to oppress us. I am very curious. When Gotham was thrown into the Demonic Realm Rift, where was our president? When our friends and family were being slaughtered by demons, where were our fighter jets? Also, if that old man can really 'protect' us, why did this city suffer such pain? "
"The safety of my family, I will protect myself! My freedom, I will fight for it! "
"This rotten country, those terrible bureaucrats, they can't give us these. This disaster has proven everything!"
Saber snorted and tore the letter to shreds.
"They are not worth relying on!"
"The dead are gone, and the living have to carry the burden forward. I know that on the first day of returning to the modern world, everyone is thinking about the same question: Now that we have become different in the battle with the demons, can we still be accepted by the world and our former comrades … "
"To be honest, I am not willing to think about this question because I know the final answer will be depressing … but I will not stop you from finding the answer to this question."
Saber spread out his hands and said sincerely.
"At this moment, I give the right to choose to everyone in the city … You can choose to stay in this hero's land that has been through so much and rebuild your home with us. You can also swear to protect it like you have for the past month … You can also leave with your loved ones and find somewhere else to settle down. You can choose any of these options!"
"This is your right to choose, and we will not interfere … I want to tell those who have made their choice, if you are ostracized by normal people, if you are persecuted by them, if you are despised by them, never forget that you are from Gotham, you are from a city of heroes. Stick out your chest and live on!"
"You have survived the most difficult hell, and nothing can crush your will!"
Saber finally made his own conclusion.
"Since we are still alive, we should dedicate ourselves to the great task in front of us: to draw more dedication from the glorious sacrifices to complete the cause that they have dedicated everything to. We have made the greatest determination to not let the sacrifice of the dead be in vain!"
"Let this city regain its freedom under the sun! Furthermore, we will not let anyone take away our precious freedom and dignity! "
"We will do what we have done for the past month, and use our own hands to protect this city! We will even give up everything for it! Even our lives … "
"Now, go home, citizens!"
"Gotham will reach Mexico in 14 hours, and a new country will be born there. There, a new world will welcome us! Those who do not wish to go with us can leave Gotham when we reach the next city … No one will stop you, and no one will blame you for your choice. This will always be your home, in the past, in the present, and in the future. "
"As for those who will interfere with your choice …"
The leader of The Devil Gang raised his left hand, and a blazing fire burned behind him like a flag. The Underworld Dragon Knight and Demon Bat Knight that only appeared in fantasy novels flapped their wings and flew into the sky. In the distant horizon, as space shattered, the majestic and intimidating Heaven Breaker broke through space and appeared in the sky above Gotham. 13 Bladed Assault Spaceships flew out from both sides of the Heaven Breaker, protecting Gotham.
"Here, I give an ultimatum to the fighter fleets that are cruising outside the city!"
Saber's voice rushed into the sky, and it resounded across the horizon that was like burning clouds. "Leave our airspace within 10 minutes, or it will be seen as an invasion. I don't know what those politicians said to you, and I don't know why you are here to die …"
"But what you have done is not heroic. Don't expect Gotham, who has been reborn in the flames of hell, to show mercy to you! Think about your wives and children, think about your loved ones … Get lost, no one will look down on your weakness. "
"Because you are facing an opponent that you can never defeat."
