When they heard the word super weapon, Dick and Jason's eyes lit up.
In fact, they sometimes feel that the universe they live in is more logical than other universes. Many times, things develop in an upward spiral, one step at a time. Almost nothing jumps straight up like a rocket.
I don’t have any hope for the so-called pie in the sky.
Does it turn out that a super weapon that can completely reverse the situation really exists? Doesn't it mean that it can be hit anywhere?
But soon, Apollo's words broke their delusions. He shook his head and said: "It is not difficult to control this gun. The problem is that you must have the strength to throw this gun."
Dick and Jason hurriedly asked, and Apollo had no choice but to tell them that the so-called sunrise gun was actually made from the sun in the mystical sense.
How to define the magic side and the science side is always a problem. Many people may think that the fantasy of the magic side must also come from reality. For example, if there is a sun in the sky, people think there should be a god to manage the sun, so they created the sun god.
But this is not the case in the DC universe. From the beginning, the science side and the magic side are two completely different worlds.
The emergence of the sun is not a question of which came first, the chicken or the egg.
The sun god did not appear because there was a sun in the world, but it was not that the sun god came first and then the sun, but that after the fantasy about the sun similar to the sun god appeared, there was another sun in the world, this sun.
It is the sun in the mystical sense.
Most ordinary people can only see the hot star hanging above their heads, but they have endless romantic fantasies about the sun, and have made many efforts to explore the sun. All these fantasies, research, and literature and art about it
The myths, legends, and fictional characters involved in creations and works together constitute the sun of mysticism.
This sun is the raw material for making the Sunrise Spear.
This gun only exists in a mystical sense. It cannot be seen or touched, and has no entity. In other words, it cannot be fired by ordinary methods. It is not easy to use force to create miracles in this regard.
After hearing Apollo's mysterious explanation, the group was stunned. They were not good at this kind of thing at all.
Needless to say, there is no need to say more about Dick and Jason. They are still in the category of ordinary people and do not have any superpowers. Although Bruce, who teaches them, is an angel himself, he is more biased towards agnosticism and does not know much about mysticism.
.
Although Raven was born a natural magician due to the influence of her father, the teachers in her hometown were not good enough. They taught her how to suppress her power by controlling her emotions, and they didn't teach her anything else.
Aisha is a lampmon, and her memory of the lampmon period is very confusing. Even if she had some knowledge in this area before, she has almost forgotten it now.
None of them have a professional background, their theoretical knowledge is weak, and their inspiration and imagination in mysticism are not strong enough. There is still some hope for them to get a machine that can throw spears with great force, and let them control one.
The mysterious gun that can't be seen or touched is still a bit too overwhelming.
But they were not going to give up. Dick looked at Apollo and asked: "Since this gun was created and proved to be so powerful, someone must have used it. How did he use it?"
Apollo nodded and said: "Indeed, this gun has been used three times in total. I was only present for the first time. At that time, the gun had just been completed and was still in the testing stage. The owner of the gun chose a direction and turned it
It was thrown out..."
"How did you vote?"
"Which direction?"
Jason and Dick asked different questions, and Apollo had to answer them one by one. He said: "Part of the power he used is beyond the scope of my knowledge. I can only tell you what I can see."
"First of all, there wasn't any strong power fluctuation. I only saw a flash of light. Secondly, he didn't throw anything, but he was holding a book in his hand, and something seemed to be written in it. Finally, where is the destination?"
Not very clear, I only saw a patch of starlight."
This description was a bit too vague. Dick and Jason looked at each other. They felt that at this time, Apollo would not hide it secretly. He might really not see anything.
"Where is that gun? Can we go check it out?"
"Just at the top of the field of light, come with me."
Apollo led them back to the center of his temple. A beam of light hit a few people. Soon they floated up at the speed of light, all the way up until the scenery below became farther and farther away, and then they were merged into a piece of light.
They came to a place with only light. Under the leadership of Apollo, they walked towards the core of rich light. The further they went, the more strange they felt.
Their bodies did not feel the temperature, but psychologically they felt that it was getting hotter and hotter here. Jason believed that this might be the so-called occult concept, that is, it did not exist in the real world, but it was the human spirit and impression.
combination.
Apollo stopped and pointed forward. Several people looked in the direction he pointed and saw a strange-shaped shelf.
If they had to say it, they would think it was a missile rack, but the problem was that there was no warhead on it. Several people walked around this strange rack several times and saw nothing.
"I have a feeling like a light on my back." Raven said, she is the most inspired person here, and she has become very cautious since approaching here. She said: "There must be something here, but we can't see it.
"
"Can you feel it?"
"A little bit." Raven shook her head in confusion and said, "It's still a long way from actually touching it. I... don't know how to do it."
The clues were broken again. This thing was obviously beyond their understanding. It was simply not something they could control now. It was just a waste of time to forcefully study it here.
The dream of controlling super weapons to speed pass was shattered. Although a few people were a little disappointed, they were still used to it and immediately started thinking about other things.
"I knew it wasn't that simple. If we can't control lethal force, then the people who led us here should think that there are other ways to eliminate Hecate..." Dick thought for a while and said.
"I think we still think too much." Elsa said: "The main purpose of our coming here is to collect evidence of Diana's crime. As for finding a way to eliminate Hecate, it should just be incidental."
"I think we can make a compromise." Jason said: "With our ability, it is impossible to completely eliminate the Magic Goddess. Even if the Justice League controls her, they will not all point their fingers at us to kill her.
, do you think it’s an aspect of her that the Justice League wants us to kill?”
"A side?" Dick felt that what he said made sense. He thought about it carefully and then said: "If Diana was reshaped by her mother's side, she played the most important role in the whole plan. She
The one standing behind must be the mother, and it is the mother’s side that the Justice League must deal with.”
"Any news on the other two sides?"
"I guess not, but if mother is trapped, the girl and the old woman will show up," said Dick.
"Do you think the Justice League wants to trap the mother to reveal the other two aspects, or do they want to simply kill one of the aspects in one fell swoop and weaken the three goddesses?"
"Fishing or eating? That's a good question." Aisha thought for a while and said, "I think we should prefer the latter."
"How do you say that?" Dick asked curiously.
"The Justice League will not use the students to take risks." Elsa said very firmly: "If you want to use your mother to fish and attract the other two sides, then you can skip the steps of defeating them one by one and go directly to the decisive battle. Then on Mercury,
What should the students do?”
"Besides, Bruce has never believed in the theory of quick victory. Although he pretends to be young, he is not really a fool. He understands the consequences of asking for everything, that is, getting nothing. For the sake of safety, he will also choose to end it first.
It is not good for him to use a soft knife to cut off the opponent's flesh instead of forcing the opponent to fight with him."
Jason and Dick also recalled Bruce's attitude in dealing with things, and felt that Elsa's words were quite reasonable. Bruce did not need to take dangerous measures and deal with three of them at once.
"If he chooses to cut off Hecate's arm first, he will definitely kill his mother in one fell swoop and not give the other two sides a chance to rescue. I think this is another purpose of why he asked us to come here, but if that mysterious weapon
The gun doesn't work, what else can be used to kill my mother?"
The discussion reached a deadlock again, but everyone understood that since they were here, it proved that there must be answers here, and there must be some details that they had not discovered.
At this moment, Hermes appeared again. He saluted Apollo and then said to the others: "The Queen wants to summon you, please come with me."
Several people looked at each other and didn't understand why Hera wanted to find them again, but they still followed Hermes out of the temple of Apollo and walked towards the palace of the Queen of Gods.
When I saw Hera again, she was no longer dressed up, but only wore a Greek woman's regular clothes, with a bronze crown of branches on her head, standing on the windowsill halfway up the mountain.
Several people walked to the spacious terrace and saw the majestic and noble Queen of God, whose body was covered with exhaustion and whose brows were full of compassion.
"You are looking for a way to deal with Hecate." Hera used an affirmative sentence, while Dick and the others did not deny it and nodded.
Aisha understood what Hera meant, and she said, "Do you have any idea? Queen God?"
Seeing the lovely Aisha, Hera's tense expression finally relaxed a little. She waved to Aisha, and Aisha walked over. Hera bent down and touched her head and said, "Yes,
This is exactly what I came to you for."
"Please forgive me for not being able to summon you in the main hall, because the God King does not want Hecate to die. He needs Hecate to maintain a barrier against darkness." Hera straightened up and lowered her head, unable to hide the sadness in her eyes anymore, she said
: "I can't disobey him, but I can't sit back and watch my children die either."
"Please have your condolences." Apart from this, Jason didn't know what to say. He knew that no matter what kind of person the God of War was during his lifetime, he was a child of Hera. Standing in front of them was a heartbroken man who had lost his child.
's mother.
"I think you should have heard this legend. In ancient times, a group of mages imprisoned Hecate. Do you know how they did it?"
Elsa was stunned for a moment, but she suddenly realized that, yes, someone had successfully trapped the perfect three-phase goddess in ancient times. In other words, there was a way to defeat Hecate, but no one did it.
Before they could ask, Hera continued: "The ancient wizards who trapped Hecate are collectively called the Lords of Order, and the most powerful one among them is called the God Naboo."
