Chapter 111 I'm Not Your Toy
"Woohoo, exciting!"

Downton excitedly reappeared behind Diana and spoke to her, pointing at his eyes.

"Do you know what it's like to be cut in half vertically, Diana?

You will obviously feel that your horizons are being broadened!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Downton fell to the ground uncontrollably, and Diana turned around and chased after Downton.

Diana said as she stabbed Downton's heart with her sword.

"Then I will help you open your heart now!!!"

The moment her voice fell, the Sword of Vulcan completely pierced through Donton's heart and nailed him to the ground.

Feeling the pain in his heart, Donton spat out blood and raised his hand to grasp Diana's sword.

"Instead of opening my heart for me, you might as well help me open my mind.

You know, if my head gets smashed, I won't feel any pain.

And a broken heart...haha, that's fucking heartbreaking!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Donton supported himself on the ground and pushed himself up from the sword.

It was not until his chest was against the hilt of Diana's sword that Donton grabbed Diana's wrist with his bloody hand.

"But don't worry, no matter how deeply you hurt me, I will only regard it as love.

I sincerely hope that more people like you will appear in my life, so that my life won’t always be full of small fights, haha!”

After saying this, Downton gave Diana a warm smile, and then turned into flames again.

The next moment, Downton stood beside Diana and asked her.

"Do you feel the warmth I bring to you, Diana? That is the fire I ignited with my life. Don't you feel moved?"

"roll!"

Diana raised her elbow suddenly and hit Donton's chin hard.

It is better to take ten punches than one elbow. Donton rolled his eyes completely.

But before Diana could try to control the unconscious Downton, he disappeared again in the flames.

After a moment, Donton looked around and waved to the two women who were moving around on the bed in front of him.

"Can you tell me your room number? I think it's necessary for me to come over and straighten you two up after I'm done!"

After saying that, Downton disappeared with a smile, and then reappeared in front of Diana who was lost in thought.

Noticing the presence of Donton, Diana asked with a frown.

"So, you really have a trait that makes you absolutely uncatchable!"

"How can you say that, Diana? After all, you have already captured my heart, haven't you?"

Donton laughed and moved closer to Diana, then raised his hand to grab Diana's hand.

Looking at Downton's approaching hand, Diana kicked out rudely, breaking the bones of Downton's right hand!

Looking at his right hand that had turned limp into a ball of blood, Donton shook his head regretfully.

"Don't be so ungrateful. My right hand has at least been close to your heart."

"If you could just shut up, I might be more lenient with you!"

After Diana responded, she coldly walked away from Downton with her sword in hand.

When they were ten meters away from Downton, Diana looked at him deeply and continued to ask.

"Besides being uncapturable, you don't just seek power from death.

I didn’t kill you completely every time I attacked you, but every time you came back, you became stronger!"

"Of course."

Listening to Diana's question, Downton nodded with amusement.

"If I can only seek strength from death, then if you beat me half to death every time but leave me alive, then I will just be beaten for fun, right?
I am not your toy, on the contrary, you are all my toys!

I may as well tell you, my dear Diana, that the essence of all my power is nothing but absolute freedom.

But without sufficient power, freedom is just talk.

So I always have a way to get power, even if I don't want it, it will come to me.

I can choose not to use that power, but I can't be without power!
In short, what doesn't kill me can only make me stronger, and the same is true for what kills me.

Every setback and every moment of pain I experience will become my strength. Do you understand what I mean?"

Having said that, Downton smiled and shook his limp right hand, then raised his right arm to his chest and bowed meaningfully to Diana.

After bowing, Donton straightened up and continued speaking seriously. "As for now, it's a pity that I grew up in such a short time and am still far behind you.

I'm sorry I couldn't get you to your full potential, Diana.

But I believe that sooner or later I will return the failure to you, and that day will come sooner than you think. "

After saying that, Downton spontaneously combusted on the spot, and then reappeared in the original position without any trace of photoshop.

Looking at Downton whose right hand had recovered, Diana took a deep breath.

This is truly the most troublesome enemy he has ever encountered!
Diana is never afraid of powerful opponents. As an Amazon woman, she has always been keen on challenging strong enemies.

A true warrior always dares to roar at the stronger ones. Even if the opponent is countless times stronger than herself, she will willingly accept the fate of dying at the hands of the enemy.

But Downton...

It's impossible to kill him, and it's impossible to catch him. Even artifacts like the Lasso of Truth carrying Zeus' spells can't restrict Donton!

How should I deal with such an enemy?
He was as troublesome as a piece of taffy that had been chewed for a long time, and even more disgusting like a piece of chewing gum stuck in a clump of hair.

Diana had to admit that at least for now she had no way to deal with him!

Before tonight, Diana felt that Downton could still be saved, but that was because Diana thought that Downton was just an ignorant young man who suddenly gained magical powers from some adventure.

But it is impossible for such a young man to know his own identity and the gods behind him!
So even though Downton repeatedly emphasized that he was just a human, Diana was still very sure that Downton must be some antique from the mythological era!
And it is also very troublesome, at least a powerful god who can support a large epic section by himself!
Thinking of this, Diana snorted heavily, then turned around and jumped, rushing into the clouds.

Seeing that Diana was gone just like that, Downton raised his right hand reluctantly and shouted desperately to the sky.

"Honey, are you damn sure you don't want to be intimate with me for a while..."

Swish! ! !
The Sword of Vulcan fell from the sky in an instant, and its blade that could cut through subatomic particles pierced straight into Donton's heart.

Diana turned around and drew her sword, then rushed back into the clouds and said her last words to Downton.

“I will eventually find out your true identity, unknown god!

I even think I have a clue!
Donton, tell me, are you really not Loki?"

"I'm still in Los Angeles, haha!"

Downton laughed and gave Diana the middle finger, then disappeared in the flames.

After a brief silence, Diana rushed into the clouds without looking back and disappeared.

Although the two of them disappeared, Gotham, who was woken up by them, couldn't fall asleep easily!

Just now, almost one-third of Gotham’s population was forced to witness the first extraordinary battle in their lives.

Especially Bruce and Lucius, who were watching the surveillance at the moment, had already widened their eyes!

Lucius said in disbelief as he kept replaying the brief fight between Downton and Diana.

"Why do life forms like theirs exist on Earth?

It is simply hard for me to understand how they can unleash such terrifying power with the same body as mine!

I would feel better even if they appeared in a different image, whether they transformed into giants in mythology or simply turned into indescribable creatures like Cthulhu.

At least that kind of image would allow me to accept their strength calmly, instead of questioning their seemingly ordinary bodies like I do now!

Why can they do it but we can’t!!!”

Having said that, Lucius rubbed his gray curly hair heavily.

Beside him, Bruce held the table tightly, saying nothing.

Lucius asked with a wry smile, looking at Bruce's heavy eyes.

"Bruce, what are you thinking about?"

"I……"

Bruce took a deep breath and then closed his eyes sadly.

"Before I left Gotham, even though it was a rotten city, it at least felt familiar to me.

But now, I have only been back for a few days, and this city has become unfamiliar to me."

After he finished speaking, Bruce shook his head with difficulty.

"I really don't know how to deal with them, I really have no idea now.

If I want to deal with superhumans like them, I must at least perfect a super laboratory of my own that can iterate various technologies to a level that surpasses human civilization by at least several decades.

Whether it is seeking the derivative iteration of mechanical armor or the infinite evolution of biotechnology, it will take me at least a considerable amount of time.

To me, they are like enemies that shouldn't appear at my current stage, and I have to race against time to have a chance of getting close to them.

I think I know what I should do in the next few years!"
