American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander.

Chapter 104 Can I trouble you with something?
"Don, I admit that there was some inducement in my words, but I would never deceive myself.

If you knew my past, you would understand how much I hate this city.

Even though the Wayne name has given me wealth and power that no one in Gotham can even dream of, this city seems to have given me everything, but it has also taken away all my happiness and memories.

Some words sound really hypocritical when they come out of my mouth.

But wouldn't it be more hypocritical if those words were said about you?"

Having said this, Bruce finally calmed down and continued speaking.

"Look at yourself now. Since you can't die and can't be controlled, you have completely lost the qualifications to be afraid. Even emotions like tension can hardly affect you.

In some ways, our situations are similar in that we have both experienced a complete loss.

I have wealth that is unattainable by anyone in the world, but I claim that I have lost happiness forever.

You have power that no one in the world can match, but you claim that you miss the fear of the past.

If we were to perform on the Oprah show, the whole world would curse us.

But only we ourselves know that what we say is true, because only those who have truly lost something will truly miss what they have lost. "

"indeed!"

Hearing this, Donton finally became a little serious.

Unlike just now, he knew that Bruce was truly speaking from his heart now.

Bruce is indeed one of the smartest people in the world, but his style is actually easier to grasp, especially now that he has not yet matured.

To Bruce, as long as he touched upon his past in conversation, those words would hardly be considered strategies or rhetoric.

Because everyone who knows Bruce knows how important his past is to him!
Thinking of this, Donton raised his right hand, pressed Bruce's shoulder hard, and asked.

"Destiny is a real jerk, isn't it?"

"If there really is destiny in the world, then I would like to give it a punch."

While Bruce responded, he couldn't help but look lonely for a moment, and after feeling lonely, Bruce shook his head uncomfortably.

“Tang, let’s not talk about that anymore, let’s get back to the issue of constraints.

I was not joking with you just now. In my opinion, no matter how strong your abilities are or how great your abilities are, you must have corresponding constraints.

The point of conditioning is not to make people realize our weakness, but to make us recognize our true selves.

All those who avoid weaknesses as if they were disasters, not only do they not have a strong enough mind, they are also like clowns who make people laugh.

them……"

"Fuck, wait a minute!"

Suddenly, Donton interrupted Bruce.

“It always makes me feel a little creepy when I hear the word clown from your mouth.

Damn, I even got goosebumps, haha!"

"Uh……"

Listening to what Downton said, Bruce shrugged his nose.

"Why are you reacting so exaggeratedly? Are you implying that I am also a clown? I..."

"OK, you better stop talking, I'm almost dying of laughter!
As for the constraints you mentioned, man, think about it carefully, have I really left no constraints on myself?"

While interrupting Bruce, Donton raised his finger and pointed at Bruce's chest.

"Think about yourself, Bruce, and why you're even sitting here talking to me.

You and Lucius are researching something targeting me. Guess why you can still do your research with peace of mind, and I can even sit here and chat with you about your research.

In a sense, you are the constraints I leave on myself. If I keep going further and further in the same life, no one knows whether I will forget who I am.

So, you have to work harder!
Also, don't keep thinking about using weird things to restrict me, you should think more about how to kill me!"

At this point, Downton gave Bruce a mysterious smile.

He just chuckled and continued talking.

“Think about the myths you’ve heard, like how no one could hurt Achilles, but Achilles had a weak heel.

Don't look at me showing off now, but maybe I have some weaknesses like Achilles' heel!
If you never try to find that weakness, you will never succeed.

So you guys have to stand up and stop thinking about useless things all day long. Instead, you have to be more focused and try more seriously to really kill me in various ways!

What if one of these approaches happens to be my Achilles' heel?"

After he finished speaking, Downton patted Bruce's shoulder encouragingly!

Looking at Downton, whose eyes were full of encouragement, Bruce turned his head away unhappily.

"So, if I keep killing you, you will become stronger. When you become stronger, I will have to find more new ways to kill you. Donton, do you want you to consume my entire life alone?"

"Fuck, man, you can't think like that!

Who am I? I’m a fucking revenant. There hasn’t been anyone as dangerous as me in Gotham in the past thirty years!
Even though you may be dealing with me your entire life, if you put yourself in my shoes, you may be challenging the greatest evil in Gotham and even the whole world throughout your entire life!

Would you feel better if you think this way?"

Donton continued to pat Bruce's shoulder in amusement, and Bruce rolled his eyes helplessly.

“It’s impossible to be comfortable!”

He said to Donton depressedly.

"Tang, are you sure you really have an Achilles' heel? I originally thought you should have at least such a weakness, but now, I also feel a little unconfident!"

"What are you not confident about?"

In the distance, Lucius, who was returning with a big meal, heard Bruce's words and asked curiously.

"I'm almost sixty, so don't talk about lack of confidence in front of me.

But if you two are experiencing a lack of confidence at your age, you might as well talk more about it, because it makes me feel comfortable listening to it.

Men my age are too sensitive psychologically, but listening to the embarrassing stories of young people can make things better.

What is so-called self-confidence? Isn't it just gained through comparison? Haha!"

While laughing, Lucius brought the meal to everyone.

Donton picked up the burger and started eating it first, while Bruce and Lucius looked at each other, smiled bitterly and started eating too.

After eating and drinking his fill, Donton stretched with a smile, then stood up.

"Okay, guys, I just came to check on you.

By the way, I plan to give you some of the materials I have.

Ah Fu picked up a few strands of hair last night. What use can that thing be to you? I have to personally deliver some materials to you so that I can give you more motivation.

If one day in the future, you two can develop a weapon that can kill me millions of times in one second, you will never imagine how much I will love you!
Believe me, what I said is true. Now I no longer hate the person who killed me.

Because only those who are willing to kill me are my true mentors and friends! "

As soon as he finished speaking, Donton put his right hand to his mouth and bit his little finger hard.

With the sound of bones crunching and teeth grinding, Donton tore off his little finger!
Looking at Downton's crazy behavior, Bruce took a deep breath, and Lucius couldn't help swallowing.

As for Downton, he laughed heartily with his bloody teeth bared, then threw his little finger into Bruce's arms.

After taking Downton's little finger with a sudden start, Bruce asked Downton with a serious face.

"Don't you feel any pain?"

"Of course I feel pain, but the pain is far from enough to repel us."

As Donton responded, he went to the side to find a thick tissue and pressed it on the broken base of his little finger.

He then pointed at the finger Bruce was holding.

"You'd better hurry up, because once I teleport, all the blood, flesh and genetic material I have left behind will completely disappear and return to my body.

In order to give you more motivation to deal with me, I will try not to teleport tonight, but by tomorrow at the latest, you will not be able to save my fingers.

So, you only have one night at best, but there is no need to rush.

I'm always here, if you need any materials, just give me a call."

At this point, Donton suddenly thought of something, so he rubbed his chin awkwardly.

Then he leaned closer to Bruce with a smirk and spoke softly.

"Well, I just remembered something.

In my case, I often lose control of things like my clothes and cell phone.

You all know that I am often bombed by missiles, and occasionally I am struck in the face by damn thunder!
So, ahem... Bruce..."

Donton suddenly approached Bruce with an apologetic smile, and his actions and expression made Bruce unable to help but step back repeatedly.

But Donton still grabbed Bruce's wrist and continued.

"Can I ask you a favor?

After all, you and Lucius are both very capable scientists, so can you help me make a set of clothes?

I want one with more functions, one that can make phone calls, and one that won’t be easily blown up by a nuclear bomb.

It would be best if it was made of nanomaterials so I could wear it as a shirt!"
