Returning to the temple of Apollo, several people seemed a little silent. The news they had just received was too shocking, and everyone needed time to digest it.
They once imagined that the mastermind behind the scenes must have the ability to mentally control others and can control others to do certain things and then delete their memories.
But it wasn't until Hera revealed the power of Hecate, one of the three aspects of Mother, that they realized that the matter was not that simple. This was not manipulation, but a direct change of a person's personality.
In other words, Hecate does not need to control anyone, she only needs to re-gestate someone to get what she wants, someone who is sincerely loyal to her and willing to do things for her.
This is much scarier than manipulation.
When a person is controlled by another person, there will definitely be flaws. Even if all memories can be read, there will always be slight differences in behavior and speech. Especially when you need to manipulate him to do things, the flaws will be more obvious.
Even Professor
But if it is a reshaping like Hecate's, then this person is still the same person. His memory, habits, behavior and personality itself have not changed at all. It is difficult to see any problems through his external performance.
In other words, if you want to crack this kind of reshaping, you need to have mind reading skills, and even mind reading skills may not be easy to use, because no matter how you read, you can only read normal memories. Personality is an abstract thing and cannot be cracked by concrete mind reading.
Dick had a headache, but Jason said firmly: "I don't think this ability is completely flawless. Think about it, since it is pregnancy, it takes time. Although it may not really be as long as 10 months, it cannot be like a super power.
The mental manipulation is so simple, there must be some restrictions."
"That's right." Dick nodded and said, "If it could be reshaped in an instant, she would have conquered the universe long ago."
"But the question is, if Diana had a problem, how did she re-pregnant Ares and Poseidon? Their contact time was not long, otherwise they would not have attracted the attention of Hermes."
Dick thought for a while and then said: "I guess this kind of pregnancy does not actually put a person into the belly, but may be some abstract reference."
At this time, Raven said: "The birth of the spirit should not involve the physical body. Everything may be completed at the spiritual level and will not be externalized, just like pregnancy is also completed in the mother's body."
Dick seemed to understand a little, and he said: "In other words, maybe Diana only had contact with Ares and Poseidon, but she has captured them at the spiritual level and re-born their spirits, allowing them to
I think it’s worth giving everything for Hecate.”
"I seem to know why Hera is so sad." Aisha sighed and said: "A wise child is like a mother. Hera may have noticed that something was wrong with Ares, but she couldn't find any evidence, so she could only watch helplessly.
He goes to death."
"There is another question." Jason suddenly said: "Since contact can capture them, why wouldn't it be more convenient for Zeus and Hera to directly control the King and Queen of the Gods?"
"A medium may be needed." Raven said: "Although it is a capture on the spiritual level, a medium is also needed on the material level. Ares, Poseidon and Diana have a good relationship, and Diana is easier for the medium to access.
They, but Zeus, Hera, and Diana have a mediocre relationship, and if they contact them rashly, the secret may be exposed."
Jason nodded and felt that this statement made sense. Those who can be deceived are naturally trustworthy people, but it is not easy to rashly contact people who are not so close to him. If he behaves abnormally in order to attract the media, it will increase the risk.
Risk, there is no need.
"Hera just said that mother is only one aspect of Hecate, and there are also maidens and old women. Will they all be part of Diana?"
Elsa's question gets to the key point. Although Hecate used to be a three-faced person, that may not be the case now. If the three of them separate, then there will be three people behind the scenes instead of one.
Even if Diana is really one of them, just taking her down won't work. There are other two who are hiding somewhere, and even rashly attacking Diana may make the remaining two hide deeper and cause even greater trouble.
trouble.
"My head hurts so much." Dick rubbed his temples and said, "Let's talk about something less heavy. Do you think the Justice League will notice the abnormality, and what countermeasures do they have?"
Jason thought about it carefully and then said: "If the person with the problem is really Diana, then I don't think they can be completely unaware of it. Don't forget, who can't hide this so-called personality reshaping?"
Dick and Elsa were both stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Logically speaking, Tianke mentally manipulates people with mind-reading abilities, because as long as he reads the mind, he can find that the other party is being manipulated. However, Hecate's manipulation is invisible, and it is possible for people with mind-reading abilities to manipulate the other person's mind.
After searching through the spiritual world, I only felt that the other person was such a person.
But psychoanalysis is different.
Psychoanalysis is not simply mind-reading. It does not read the person's thoughts at this time. It analyzes a person's personality.
Although empaths can empathize with emotions, psychoanalysis is based on rational analysis of empathic emotions and uses professional knowledge to analyze the empathized emotions to analyze the other person's personality. This is a professional
Skills, not superpowers.
Although it does look a bit like a superpower, the fundamental difference from mind reading is that, like the known theories in other subjects of modern science, it is stable, reliable, and can continue to produce, and it does not depend on the receptor.
Or something has changed in it, making it unusable or inaccurate.
In other words, once you master this analysis method, you can use it at any time and under any circumstances. It does not work today but not tomorrow. You can analyze this person but not that person.
The power of Professor
But Lilith lacks professional analysis skills. She can read memories and thoughts just fine, but she can hardly analyze a person's personality, so she can't judge whether someone is normal or not.
Therefore, Schiller, the only person currently known to have mastered this skill to a very high level, is the real nemesis of this so-called personality reshaping, and it is a fake personality.
So if this is the case, Dick and the others can assume that Schiller actually saw Diana's problem early on and was prepared. Then their previous inference that it was likely that the Justice League sent someone to release the eldest son was correct.
Justice League has been preparing.
Starting from this idea, why do they appear here?
It does seem that they followed the clues all the way to find it, but the process was too smooth, there were no interference options, and it was almost a single-line search, which made people have to suspect that someone might have guided them here.
What do the people who guide them want them to do?
Several people discussed this issue, and Dick took the lead in proposing a more conservative assumption. He said: "Suppose that only Professor Schiller saw that something was wrong with Diana, but he could only feel it without any evidence, then
We followed clues and came here, and all we have to do is look for evidence."
"You think, if the Justice League has just been established and starts catching moles, it will really shake the morale. Without conclusive evidence, even with the endorsement of Professor Schiller, it will be difficult to convince people, so I guess one of our tasks should be
Find evidence among the gods to prove that Diana is indeed up to something."
Aisha nodded and said: "I also agree with this, because since the eldest son released by Schiller can kill Ares, there is no reason why he can't kill Poseidon. Why was Poseidon released?"
Everyone present was very smart. Jason immediately said: "Because Poseidon must actually commit a crime to form a complete chain of evidence, that is, Diana controlled or instigated Poseidon and made Poseidon defy God."
The king's decree came down to earth to injure the Atlantis King of the Sea."
"If Poseidon and Ares are both dead, both of them are guilty of attempted crimes. Even if evidence is found that Diana may have controlled the two of them, because the two of them did not really do anything, the guilt will not be
To Diana."
"That seems to be it, but I think it's more than that. Diana is on Mercury now. Mercury is near the sun, and we followed the clues to the vicinity of the sun and entered the portal. Don't you think this is a coincidence?
?" Dick said again.
Jason said while thinking: "The sun must be the key. If the Justice League really has a plan to deal with Diana controlled by Hecate, then finding evidence to convict her is the first step, and controlling her based on the evidence is the second step.
, the third step is to actually deal with her, the Justice League wants to use the power of the sun to deal with Hecate?"
"It's not impossible." The raven said, "Didn't Hera say that? Hecate is the goddess of the night and witchcraft. In mysticism, she should be restrained by the sun."
"It's not that simple, children." Apollo came out from behind the temple and said: "I can't deal with Hecate, and neither can Helios. As for the star called the sun that you know about,
I’m afraid it won’t be able to cause any harm to the goddess.”
Everyone looked at him, and Apollo came over, sat next to them and said: "If your mission here is to find a way to end Hecate, then maybe you are looking for Longi
Spear of Nuth."
"The Spear of Longinus, what is that?"
"The name comes from the myths and legends in the Bible. When Jesus was crucified, a soldier penetrated the side of Jesus with a gun in his hand. The blood flowed down the gun barrel to his hands, so he was crucified.
He was converted and became a saint, codenamed Saint Longinus."
"So what actually happens?"
"It's actually the code name of a powerful weapon stored in the field of light." Apollo's eyes flashed with inexplicable brilliance. He said: "The real name of this weapon should come from its founder. I would rather call it
