American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander.

Chapter 96: Shattering His Kingdom
Gotham's clamor last night was ultimately defeated by the complete victory of the Dead Party, and Falcone's influence was completely wiped out in this war that affected the entire Gotham.

The names Downton and The Revenant also brought peace back to Gotham for the first time.

When the heavy rain that lingered in Gotham disappeared, it seemed that the evil in Gotham also disappeared with the disappearance of the rainy night.

Nathan Kane's plan to lead his troops into Gotham was stopped from both above and below by the stopped gang war and the Wayne Group convening a board meeting before he even began.

On the one hand, the gang war that had ended had deprived him of the legitimate reason to station troops in Gotham.

On the other hand, although Bruce did not convene the board meeting for him, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Nansen obviously regarded himself as the protagonist that the Wayne Group wanted to deal with.

There are always some people who think highly of themselves, aren't there?

When the time came to 10:20 in the morning in Gotham, Downton had already made the corresponding division of power within the Ghost Party.

At the same time, Bruce also walked off the plane tiredly.

After giving the blue flower to Lucius for analysis, Bruce convened the Wayne Group's board meeting on schedule.

At the same time, Gotham City seemed to have long been accustomed to scenes of killing. Even though tens of thousands of people died in the city last night, the citizens of Gotham still returned to their lives after a brief aftertaste.

Those who go to work go to work, those who work work, those who go to bed go to bed, and those who steal steal.

Even those who deliberately fled Gotham last night, when they figured out that everything that happened last night was caused by a power transition in the dark night of Gotham, and that this power had already been transferred.

They consciously returned to the city before noon.

Looking at the huge convoy pouring into Gotham, the homeless man fishing under the bridge spat in disdain.

Next to him, another half-dressed homeless woman who was fishing looked at his spit and sneered, saying.

“They left in a hurry yesterday, and came back in a hurry today. That’s the charm of Gotham.

Even if those who are destined to belong to Gotham leave to the ends of the earth, they will one day be eager to return here, haha!"

After she finished speaking, she opened her legs in boredom, used the fixing device between her legs that she had brought with her since her mother's womb to suck the fishing rod, then twisted her body and lay there to continue fishing.

But this time she was not fishing for fish, but for people.

In less than two minutes, the homeless man couldn't wait to climb on top of the woman.

Just when the whole Gotham seemed to be getting back on track, a passenger plane from London landed at Archie Goodwin International Airport on time.

Following the flow of people getting off the plane, Diana came to the pick-up area and immediately saw an elderly black man holding up a fluorescent Diana Prince sign.

After noticing the old man's appearance, Diana frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered something.

"Professor Fox?!!"

She called out to Lucius, then gracefully came to Lucius' side and greeted him.

"You are the Nobel Prize winner in Physics twenty-two years ago, a senior with seven degrees, the famous former professor at Gotham University, Mr. Lucius Fox, right?

But why did you come to pick me up? Is the Wayne Group so extravagant that it would use a professor like you to pick me up at the airport?"

After she finished speaking, Diana not only didn't have the heart to let Lucius help her carry the heavy suitcase, but she raised her hand and took the fluorescent plaque from Lucius's hand.

Looking at Diana with a cheerful face, Lucius smiled and shrugged and said.

"Of course the Wayne Group wouldn't be so extravagant, I volunteered to come here to greet you.

After all, not every historian is willing to participate in life-threatening research.

A super life form that actually appears in the world, is immortal and keeps growing stronger, is enough to make countless people choose to retreat.

But it is a young girl like you who is willing to be the first to face the crisis Gotham is facing and take a midnight flight to come here non-stop!
To thank you for your enthusiastic response to Gotham and the Wayne Group, of course I, the initiator of the Mythology and History Seminar, have to come and greet you in person.

Diana Prince, no matter how the situation develops, I will do my utmost to protect you on behalf of the Wayne Group.

At the same time, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you, Diana, on behalf of the Wayne Group."

After he finished speaking, Lucius first bowed to Diana, and then made a gesture of invitation to her.

Following Lucius' footsteps into the car, Diana asked Lucius softly as soon as she sat down, "Professor Fox, besides me, has anyone else responded to the invitation from Wayne Group?"

Hearing this, Lucius responded while driving.

“We sent out 147 invitations, but only 22 people have responded.

You are the first to arrive, and after you will be Dr. Kent Nelson of Massachusetts."

"So it's him. I've heard of his reputation. Dr. Kent is an absolute authority in the field of Sumerian civilization and Mesopotamian mythology."

Diana narrowed her eyes in appreciation. At the same time, Lucius smiled and added to Diana.

"And you, Miss Diana, are also an absolute authority in the field of Aegean civilization and Greek mythology, aren't you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lucius raised his hand, picked up the tablet on the passenger seat, and handed it to Diana in the back seat.

As Diana picked up the tablet and looked at it, Lucius continued.

"Last night was the night when the ghosts had the greatest impact.

Until now, the power that Falcone had spent his entire life to possess was transferred to the hands of a superhuman like Revenant in just two days.

Just before you get off the plane, the Revenant rips the police chief's head from his neck in front of a hovering police helicopter.

Facing such a vicious target, if you ask to leave in time, I will definitely support you unconditionally."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Diana opened the video that Downton sent out this morning and watched it carefully.

After confirming once again that the power of the dead soul was only this much, Diana frowned slightly.

"I'm not a person who backs down at the critical moment, and my interest in the dead goes beyond this. When it comes to knowledge, the more dangerous the project, the more attractive it is, isn't it?"

“In that case, I can only try my best to ensure your safety, Miss Diana.

Wayne Group is currently working hard to develop technologies that may be effective against the dead. During this period, other scholars who have been invited will arrive within a few days.

For your safety, I hope to arrange for you to stay in the hotel closest to the Gotham City Police Department. About three days later, when the other scholars are confirmed to arrive, the seminar will officially begin.

During this period, if you need any information, I will communicate with Gotham University to allow you to access all their ancient books and mythological contents.

If you have any other needs, please feel free to contact Wayne Group.

As the host of this seminar, Wayne Group will meet any of your requirements!"

"Thank you very much."

Hearing this, Diana bowed gracefully to Lucius and continued watching Downton's video.

She had already seen Selina hugging Donton and then following behind Donton to enjoy the cheers of the Gotham gangsters.

Listening to the cheers in the video, Diana couldn't help rubbing her brows.

Bad boys who have never enjoyed their rights can probably be educated by themselves.

But now, Diana certainly knows how tempting power is to a man. The feeling of being surrounded by people is far more exciting than anything a woman can give to a man.

Even the excitement that comes from suddenly possessing powerful strength may not be as strong as the excitement that comes from suddenly having the ability to control the fate of tens or even hundreds of thousands of people!

So, looking at the high-spirited Downton in the video, Diana vaguely made a decision.

If I still want to fix this crooked tree that has only been crooked for two days.

I must change the soil for this tree first!
If we say that Downton had just been crowned king in his middle school this morning.

Then I will use my strong shield and sharp sword to completely destroy the kingdom that he is so proud of!
