Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 394 The Seven Theological Virtues

"Human consciousness is God's self-knowledge,"

"The pure thought that defines the essence of God is the eternal essence before the creation of nature and finite spirits. The logical system shows the blueprint of God when he created the world."

Superman Clark walked between the gullies of the earth, looked up at the huge corpse of the red dragon, and spoke softly.

Around him are many superheroes from the Justice League.

Whether it is the Flash who has a high status in the league, the princess of Paradise Island, or the relatively ordinary Red Arrow Donna, they all passed through the Emerald Fortress of the Lantern, with the guidance and help of the beast, and landed on this celestial meteor that has entered the solar system and is not far from the earth.

Over the past few months, the speed of the movement of the broken celestial body planetary belt has been accelerating unprecedentedly. It is the will of the Seraph God that is forcing some people to make the final decision.

There have also been countless clashes between the Justice League and the Human Liberation Front and the Outsiders led by Batman.

Not only were there many injuries on both sides, but the new generation of superheroes and superhumans were also intimidated by the clash between the two major camps.

Those newly born super humans had no idea how ridiculous the powers they relied on were in front of the superheroes of the Golden Age.

Superhumans from several states in the United States were imprisoned in the Gulag, a super prison built by the Justice League, awaiting trial and transformation. This also prompted the remaining superhumans to temporarily turn to the other camp that has not yet revealed a clear attitude - the Human Liberation Front.

In order to fight against the increasingly powerful Superman and Justice League, the Human Liberation Front led by Lex Luthor and the Outsiders organization led by Batman absorbed a large number of super humans as peripheral personnel.

Perhaps Batman's distrust of Superman's inner nature also stems from Superman's overly powerful talent and strength. Once Superman goes in a different direction from Batman, Batman will be afraid of him.

However, although they failed in the battle for the power and treasures with the power of resurrection and life, the Justice League had a complete superhuman being who could use a super brain.

Therefore, the revival of the ancestral true dragons and the kings is about to come today.

The princess of Paradise Island holds a longbow, which is one of the magical artifacts left in the mortal world and collected one by one by the Eye of Heaven over the long years—the magic arrow once used by the ancient Greek god Artemis.

Artemis is the goddess of hunting, the moon, the wilderness, and archery in mythology. She represents the wild god who loves nature, but because she has always been chaste and hates chaotic relationships between men and women, she also represents the god of chastity.

And this chastity is closely related to the virtue of chastity among the seven theological virtues, as if they were one and the same.

"The self-consciousness of God is essentially the process by which the absolute spirit of God realizes the infinite self-awareness through the finite spirit of its own existence. The 'God' of religion and philosophy and the absolute are unified here!"

Diana took over the conversation and looked at Superman, who was wearing a red battle suit, revealing his iron-like body and smooth muscle lines, with approval and determination in her eyes.

The princess of Paradise Island was also chaste during her long years as a demigod, and she still retains the demeanor of an Amazon warrior.

The core spirit of the Amazon tribe is the true equality of men and women. Both men and women have the same noble potential and ability. Therefore, Amazon female warriors rarely have the same mentality as other ordinary women.

Once they recognize their partner, they generally will not change their minds. Diana, who is of immortal demigod blood, has only had one lover so far.

Therefore, Diana is in a huge seven-pointed star formation, which represents the chastity among the seven virtues, with the arrow of Artemis, the virgin goddess, as the ritual.

"Therefore, 'God' can influence the world with virtue, and the world's emotions and desires can also be placed in their own beliefs and passed on to the God they believe in."

The Flash went on to say that he was wearing red armor, holding a ritual representing diligence, and standing in a corner of a huge magic circle. It represented hope and diligence, which was the opposite of laziness.

Hawkman holds up the ritual, standing at the corner of the seven-pointed star formation, holding up the ritual of temperance, symbolizing the opposite of gluttony.

Lantern stands on the opposite side of Hawkman. Although he has not found any trace of White Lantern, he cannot erase his efforts of these days.

Tired, he held high the ritual of generosity, stood on the opposite side of greed, and responded loudly.

Aquaman upholds gentleness, represents bravery, and stands on the opposite side of rage.

Cyborg stands on the side that represents humility and justice, and turns his back on arrogance.

Red Arrow stands in the corner of tolerance, turning its back on jealousy and hatred.

These superheroes hope to use themselves as a symbol of the good qualities and emotions possessed by intelligent creatures to build a channel to call back the soul and spirituality of the seven-headed, ten-horned great red dragon.

The mind, spirit, and emotions of living beings possess incredible power, and spiritual matter influences each other. When it reaches a certain level, the perception and influence of living beings even transcend time and space, and can still exist in some form even after the physical death.

Punctuated by the psychic powers of superheroes like the Justice League, it has incredible power, almost capable of shortening the pace of the ancestral true dragons' return to the world to an unimaginable degree.

And for the believers who were about to fully identify the spiritual power of the ancestral red dragon, the Son of God on earth inserted the scepter in his hand into the center point of the seven-pointed star formation, which was below the lower jaw of the seven-headed, ten-horned red dragon.

This huge scepter is like a healing snake wrapped around the trunk of the Tree of Life. It is one of the most important magic artifacts in the Sky Eye Society's collection.

The symbolic meaning of the Rod of Asclepius makes it the most fundamental symbol of modern medicine on earth. The logo of the World Health Organization (WHO) is modeled after the Rod of Asclepius.

The torso in the Rod of Asclepius represents the spine in the body of a living being, and is also the fundamental vein in the body that represents evolution and spiritual advancement.

According to legend, the snake wrapped around the scepter is because snakes have the nature of shedding their skin, symbolizing the process of recovery and renewal of all things.

However, the Rod of Asclepius was named the Scepter of Archangel Raphael by the Eye of Heaven.

It is not only because Archangel Raphael gradually replaced Asclepius in the hearts and beliefs of the people, but also because of the ability of Archangel Raphael.

The nemesis of Lucifer, the head of the seven deadly sins, Archangel Raphael was the ruler of the second day and the monarch of the power angels during the seven days of creation by the Supreme God.

Raphael's ability is not known for his great strength and destructive power, nor is he the leader of a legion of angels, but rather for performing the miracle of healing everything.

Raphael was given the ability by the Supreme God to heal all injuries and defects. This healing not only includes the body of the living being, but also the faith of the living being!
At this moment, Superman tightly grasped the scepter which had double symbolism and the same meaning, and suddenly a boundless gale arose.

The roar of the Son of God echoed amidst countless dazzling rays and trailing flames.

"Where there is darkness, there is light. The existence of shadows must be due to the existence of light. Evil and good are one and the same. The road to the future will be opened by my own hands!"

His voice echoes, describing a concept of utopia that is impossible to exist in this world. Every creature that hears this voice will be infected by the peace and beauty deep in their hearts. It is the vivid blossoming of the desire for a better world.

All the heroes grasped the rituals in their hands at the same time, and an illusory and huge seven-pointed star magic circle began to light up one by one under the magic circle under the feet of these heroes. Those were the seven deadly sins corresponding to the seven virtues of theology.

All the heroes bloomed with the light of the rituals in their hands, and responded to the prayers of the Son of God. These voices echoed in the celestial bodies, like echoes that traveled through time and space.

"Through me enter the city of endless pain,"

"Through me into the pit of everlasting misery,"

"Through me, you will enter the mortal world of no return,"

"To move my great Creator,

"I am the fruit of divine power, divine consciousness, divine love,"

"Before me there was no eternal creation..."

Pious prayers are like echoes from heaven, attracting the attention of beings that are still infinitely far away.

The endless light of spiritual faith lit up in the huge magic circle, illuminating the huge dead red dragon and the kings in the distance.

The wind was roaring, and a kind of vast majesty came from the illusory passage that appeared in the starry sky, shaking the ten directions of the starry sky. The bodies of the kings and the red dragon's body trembled slightly at this moment, but the earth was also shaken.

Rumble, the huge vibration sound is like the movement of the entire continental plate. Not just like, but the entire land of the celestial body is splitting.

The lifelike giant body of the Seraph god lowered its head, and at this moment, it seemed to sense the coming of danger, and it took the initiative to break away from the ferocious dragon claw that pierced its body, but the price was its own huge heart flowing with divine blood.

The earth continued to shake with a repetitive roar like that of a church bell, but a thousand times more powerful.

"How strong are they!"

Red Arrow, who had weaker abilities, couldn't help but say in shock.

"How powerful are Emperor Gogmora and his companions? Even such powerful beings are still unable to match that angel?"

Cyborg's entire body seemed to be imprisoned by the ritual in his hand, unable to move, but he was actually free.

Even Diana, who had the blood of a demigod, was surprised, with shock in her pupils.

The edge of the broken land was covered with countless rough metal fragments. Metals of various colors coexisted on this land, as if this celestial body was made purely of metal.

Even if Diana used all her current strength, she probably wouldn't be able to shake this continent made entirely of metal, let alone easily tear apart the entire huge continental plate.

Rumble! In the shocked eyes of the crowd, accompanied by the thunderous sound of billions of tons, the entire huge celestial body completely broke apart.

……

Jordan sat beside the TV with a dejected look on his face, watching the news with boredom and clicking the remote control in his hand, but there was no program that could attract him.

As an ordinary unemployed citizen in Gotham City, the huge monthly expenses alone are enough to overwhelm the shoulders of this middle-aged man.

Not to mention other hobby activities, the most valuable thing in Jordan's house now is this old TV.

But the next piece of news, the one from the Gotham Daily News, caught Jordan's attention.

"The Gotham City government has approved a $2 billion rescue plan sponsored by many companies. In order to save the economy of Gotham City, several companies, led by the Wayne Group, have established a rescue charity foundation."

"Every unemployed Gotham citizen can apply for a $200 relief grant from the relevant agency. Citizens who are unable to apply for relief grants can also receive additional relief meal subsidies..."

Jordan sat up from the already tattered sofa. Although he knew that these charities donated relief meals mostly because they could enjoy tax exemption and low tax policies.

The city government also allocates funds to these charities due to legal requirements, but most of the food distributed by the charities is expired or about to expire.

But for a middle-aged man who has been unemployed for a long time, this is undoubtedly no different from a life-saving straw. Most importantly, this is an additional subsidy, which means that it can be received at the same time as the relief meals from the Gotham City Government.

Jordan hurried to another street where there was an old church, which was also a place where many charities often distributed relief meals.

But when Jordan arrived, the front of the church was already full of people.

Most of these people are unemployed and homeless, and many are illegal immigrants who are unable to find jobs through normal channels and live on relief meals from the government and charities.

Jordan looked forward in the line anxiously, fearing that today's share would be taken by these illegal immigrants and unemployed people. This made him curse the staff in front of him and people like himself in a low voice.

It was not until half an hour later that Jordan reached the church door.

To Jordan's surprise, this time he didn't need to provide any personal information or do any registration to apply for the relief meal. There was only one small requirement.

"Your relief meals come from the Wayne Group and many companies, and also from God's love for the world, so you need to complete your prayers."

A staff member handed Jordan the relief meal and then guided him into the church.

"Prayer, shit, I don't give a shit, but whatever,"

Jordan entered the church swearing.

Outside the church, Jordan could only vaguely hear some noises, but once he entered the church, those faint prayers sounded as loud as a bell.

"Arrogance, beware of arrogance, and bear heavy punishments,"

"Jealousy, beware of jealousy, sew your eyes to punish it,"

"Rage, beware of anger, black smoke will punish you..."

The gurgling black smoke that mortals cannot see rose from the top of the church and enveloped all around.
