Chapter 3005: Mercury Record (2)

"Long, long ago, at that time, the Earth was very different from today. Humans were still in the primitive tribal period, and the gods people know today had not yet descended."

"One day, a goddess came to Earth. She generously distributed her divine power to those who craved power, letting them become the first batch of gods on Earth. They called themselves the Greek gods."

"The goddess felt the power of dark magic coming toward Earth, so she built a barrier, isolating the source of dark magic outside the wall, so that he could never invade Earth."

"A long time passed. The goddess thought the gods would use her power to guide humans, let the life on Earth be more prosperous, build great civilizations here, and she joined them, wanting to live here as one of the gods, witnessing the changes of this planet."

"But she didn't expect that the gods' pursuit of power was endless. The gods wanted to know where the source that gave them great power was, but they didn't want to thank her, but wanted to obtain the power she had left, becoming more powerful existences."

"Finally, they discovered the goddess's difference, discovered her power that was much stronger than theirs. Disaster came. They used the source power she had once bestowed upon them to imprison her, and her husband Hades also married someone else."

"The goddess's heart was broken. Besides the identities of maiden and mother, she added a face of hatred. This face controlled the goddess. She wanted to destroy all of this, letting this group of greedy villains pay the price."

"She opened the barrier that had once intercepted dark power, letting a trace of dark magic's source power come to Earth. Countless people learned and mastered this dark magic, starting to confront the gods."

"Later, the imprisoned goddess divided her power into five parts, sending them into the bodies of five women. She hoped these five women could become powerful warriors, uncovering the seal of the gods."

"And when she returns to Earth, she will erase all existing magical power, redefine the existence of magic, letting witchcraft replace magic, becoming the most powerful power in this world."

"These five parts of power are called the Witch's Hour, and the former witch Circe, that is, Circe, is the only one among the five who knows the truth of the Witch's Hour. She has always wanted to release the goddess."

"And you..."

Shiler's face gradually overlapped with Diana's, and the surrounding environment became colorful.

"And I..."

"Diana."

"Is another woman possessing the Witch's Hour. When the Witchcraft God Hecate returns, I will become the most powerful warrior under her command, letting Mount Olympus fall with her, completely subverting the existence of magic."

Diana's voice fell. Clark's eyes in front of her were full of worry. Bruce and Lex were thinking intently, seemingly comparing the difference between this legend and the mythological story.

Arthur held his wine glass and said somewhat heartlessly, "So it's just that your whole family betrayed a goddess named Hecate, and now she is coming back to settle accounts, right?"

Diana nodded helplessly, but added, "Professor Shiler told me that her purpose is to completely reverse the nature of magic. I'm not sure what the scope of this reversal is. If she wants to change the underlying energy structure of the universe, then human society will also be affected."

"Maybe I say this, you will feel that I am alarmist to save Mount Olympus, but in reality, I don't care if Olympus will fall. The era of gods has long passed. It's not bad for them to live like ordinary people."

"It's just that this kind of god who calls himself the source of some power has a kind of arrogance. He will feel that the whole universe owes them. They are now collecting debts as a matter of course, so no matter how big a mess they make, we must silently bear it. Daring to resist is being a traitor."

"They treat other living beings living on this planet as ants and simply won't care about them. Holding such a mentality, they will definitely make an unprecedented mess. Earth really cannot withstand more."

"We really need to study this matter carefully." Clark said, "That Hecate doesn't sound like a good person at all. Even if the gods really betrayed her back then, she can't make a big mess on Earth. I won't allow it."

"However, I don't know much about magic, and I don't know if I can beat her, and that so-called five parts of power, if this Witchcraft God dies, will it affect Diana?"

"Go to my place." Lex opened his mouth and said, "After the banquet ends, we can hold a temporary meeting..."

"Temporary? How temporary?" Bruce rolled his eyes. He didn't like Lex now. In the business negotiation just now, he didn't take advantage, and the two could only be said to be evenly matched, but Wayne Enterprises had been swallowed by LexCorp for quite a few industries. Counting it up, he still lost.

"Remember what we said before? We need an organization to defend Earth." Clark brought it up again and then said, "It was said to be established before, but as a result, everyone went to do their own things, and until now, there isn't even a charter."

"Better late than never." Diana said, "Let's establish the name and personnel today, and then find a place to build a base."

"Is it necessary to determine?" Arthur bit the straw and said, "The name is Justice League, there are seven founders, the Hall of Justice is built in Washington, and then launch a space station, that's it."

"No, we cannot mindlessly copy the Justice League." Clark raised an objection and said, "First of all, we can't gather those seven people. We don't have Cyborg, and we don't know Martian Manhunter."

"This is easy to handle, let him join." Arthur pointed to Lex, then thought about it and said, "There is one quota left. I naturally feel Professor Shiler is very suitable, but I guess he won't be willing. Those six people are actually..."

"No." Diana refused again, "Six represents the devil, too unlucky. Either five or seven."

"Lex, do you intend to join?"

Lex shook his head vigorously and said, "I won't get involved with you group of superpowered people. I am human. I want to represent all humanity to supervise you, to prevent you from abusing your abilities yourselves."

"Alright, that's fine too."

"That's five people." Clark counted, "Me, Bruce, Diana, Arthur, and Oliver."

"Isn't Hal coming?" Bruce asked.

"He's busy to death." Diana picked up the dessert on the plate and sent it into her mouth and said, "He pulled in a few elders inside the Lantern Corps. Now he has mixed into the boss of the Green Lanterns and is busy reorganizing the Green Lantern Corps. I guess he doesn't have that time."

"It's fine if he's not in place for the time being." Clark said, "The nature of the alliance isn't that tight. Everyone can do their own things normally, as long as they can gather together when there is something important."

Diana shook her head and said, "Don't forget, Hal still has a boss. Last time when Darkseid fought the Lantern Corps, Diana and Clark were a bit famous. If the Guardians of the Universe know that Hal is working for another organization we are in, he is very likely to be suspected."

Clark was still a bit confused, but Bruce and Lex had already figured it out. If Hal was just an ordinary Green Lantern, the Guardians of the Universe wouldn't bother to care about him, but now, he could be called the leader of the Green Lantern Corps. Such an identity joining another organization with some fame was a bit inappropriate, and it was also very likely to make his subordinates feel that he would sacrifice the interests of other civilizations to favor Earth, which could very likely create obstacles for his work.

"Then the personnel is determined." Diana said, "A total of five people, but I feel we can also absorb some other forces, hire people with other talents as consultants, such as Pamela, her plant power is very strong, Constantine and Zatanna have quite a bit of attainment in magic, Professor Shiler can see through people's hearts, and Professor Fries's freezing technology is also not bad."

"Then we have to establish a consultant system." Bruce said, "We will each write a list of consultants in our minds, list the personnel, and then vote. If it passes by half, we will try to invite them. Is there any problem?"

Everyone agreed with this statement. Bruce added, "We also have to get along well with official organizations. I think we can invite people from Amanda's Federal Shield and the FBI to station."

"Is it really necessary?" Clark was a bit disgusted and said, "This group of people won't want us to have a good time. They only want to use our abilities to help them conquer the world."

"I can guarantee that Amanda doesn't think so. As for the FBI, it's also for balance, and it's best to borrow their power to investigate some small things."

"However, we also have to establish our own talent training system." Arthur said, "Now there are many young talents who cannot get correct guidance, and we are short of manpower. Why not establish a youth reserve team? It can guide them to be positive and also solve the problem of our shortage of manpower."

"I also agree." Diana said, "Perhaps we can establish a Young Justice League."

"It sounds like we are very old." Bruce said quite dissatisfied, "Don't we just happen to be the Young Justice League?"

"Don't come with that. Only you are pretending to be young here." Lex mercilessly dismantled, "We are all at the age of being parents. Only you still feel that you are forever in your early 20s."

"That's because my parents are still alive, unlike some people..."

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Diana hurriedly knocked on the cup and said, "Don't quarrel. I am much older than you. Averaging with you can make your age multiply several times. Do you still want to call it the elderly version of the Justice League? It's just a name."

Bruce had to curl his lips, which was considered a compromise. Arthur said, "I suggest we look for it according to the list of young heroes in other universes, gather those young people with strong abilities and good character as early as possible for training, which can also be considered as taking precautions."

"And there is also the list of all those who participated in the Battleworld. Send an email to let them make suggestions." Diana proposed, "List the young heroes with abilities and kindness they encountered in the dungeons. We will try to find them. If they are too young, we will raise them first. Those of similar age can join the Young Justice League."

"And there is the base problem." Clark said, "I feel that there might be external universe invasions later, so it's best if we don't build it in the same place as other Justice Leagues. Otherwise, wouldn't those criminals find it one by one?"

"Then where to build it?" Diana asked.

"Anyway, everyone can fly, so don't pretend. Why not build it on an alien planet? Even if it's bombed, it won't affect Earth."

"Don't forget, Oliver can't fly."

"Then I'll take him to fly, won't I? Or open a portal. This shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"I feel it can be on Mercury." Bruce suddenly said.

Everyone's eyes looked at him. Bruce also swept them with his eyes and then said, "Tim got a whole set of Mercury base equipment from another universe. Not only can it be used as a solid base, but it can also extract endless clean energy from the sun."

"Yesterday this thing was already launched. Now it is landing and building. Let me check the time... it's almost built. Do you want to visit it?" ===== CHAPTER 3006 =====
