The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics

“You mean for me to…”

Zatanna looked at Doctor Fate in shock. It wasn't that she was being presumptuous, but there were only two people here who understood magic: Doctor Fate, who wasn't in good health, and herself.

It wasn't that Robin wasn't suitable, but if you wanted to unleash the full power of the Helmet of Fate, it was obviously better to choose her, a current magician.

But Zatanna was wrong this time.

“No, not you, child.” Doctor Fate smiled weakly. “Admittedly, you would be stronger if you wore the helmet, but you are not the most suitable one.”

As Kent spoke, he beckoned, summoning the Helmet of Fate floating in mid-air into his hand.

“The one who should wear the helmet is this kid.” Kent pointed to Kid Flash in Robin's arms.

“Kid Flash?” Robin was a little surprised. “But he's still unconscious because of the curse…”

“Nabu will solve it.” Kent smiled slyly. “As long as he wears the helmet, Nabu will definitely help remove the curse on Kid Flash, and I'm confident that I can take back a body that isn't particularly suited to magic from Nabu.”

“Crack, crack, crack!”

While they were talking, the Wotan kept attacking the shield set up by Kent. Although supported by the Tower of Fate, the cracked shield was reaching its limit.

“No time.” Kent said, moving to Kid Flash's side. “We can only do it first and then talk about it.”

With that, Kent put the helmet in his hand on Kid Flash's head.

“Buzz!”

The moment the helmet was put on his head, Kid Flash's originally closed eyes suddenly opened, but the original quirkiness in those blue eyes was gone, leaving only indifference and divinity.

“Crack!”

At the same time, Kent's magic finally couldn't hold on any longer. Wotan's claws tore through the shield and grabbed towards Kid Flash.

“Ding!”

An Ankh symbol made of golden energy lay across the top of everyone's heads. Wotan's claws were unable to move an inch on the symbol. Instead, as Kid Flash raised his right hand, they were constantly pushed towards the sky.

As the attack was resolved, Wally, who had been lying down, gradually stood up, or rather, floated up.

During the floating process, the clothes on Wally's body were also changing little by little. The original crimson uniform was gradually wrapped in gold, eventually turning into a dark blue base with gold trim.

Golden energy was constantly flowing, gradually turning into boots, gloves, a belt, and a cape. This iconic outfit proved that the person was Doctor Fate, who had disappeared for decades.

“You've crossed the line, Klarion.”

Wally opened his mouth, but the voice coming from his mouth was not just one. In addition to Wally's original voice, there was a louder, more steady voice, which meant that he was no longer Wally, but Doctor Fate.

“We succeeded, Mr. Kent!”

The appearance of Doctor Fate relieved Zatanna. Her tense nerves could finally relax. The first thing she thought of was Mr. Kent, who had come up with the solution, but after a few seconds, she didn't hear a reply.

“Mr. Kent?”

Zatanna turned her head and happened to see Mr. Kent lying in Robin's arms. Meeting the former's unbelievable gaze, Robin slowly shook his head.

“He's gone.”

Zatanna opened her mouth several times. She wanted to say something, but whenever the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them.

…

“Uh, where am I?”

Wally rubbed his head. He clearly remembered that he was on a mission in the Tower of Fate. How could he suddenly appear in this dark space?

Wally looked around. Apart from a little light next to him, there wasn't even a glimmer of light in other places. Just looking at it, he had no idea where he was.

Wally looked up. The dazzling light made it impossible for him to see the source of the light. Looking down, he couldn't tell the material of the ground. What is this place?

“You are now in the Helmet of Fate.”

A strange and old voice suddenly sounded. Wally, who was unprepared, was naturally startled. He turned his head sharply and only saw a somewhat familiar stranger.

“You are…” Wally squinted and carefully identified him. “You're Doctor Kent!?”

“I'm glad you recognize me, child. That saves some pointless conversation.” Mr. Kent smiled.

“I'll make it short, child. We're now in the Helmet of Fate. It started when the Lord of Chaos Klarion attacked. In desperation, I could only let you wear the Helmet of Fate and become the new Doctor Fate.”

“The more you explain, the more confused my head gets.” Wally scratched his head. “What helmet? What new Doctor Fate? I'm sorry, I didn't understand.”

“I suppose so.” Kent wasn't annoyed. He pointed to the side. “Look at this and you'll understand.”

Wally looked in the direction Kent was pointing and found that a screen of light had appeared in that direction at some point. Something was being played in the light screen like a movie.

Wally took a closer look and found that the movie was in the first person, which was more like a game. Looking closely, it was not difficult to find that the protagonist was dealing with the enemy, but the enemy looked a little familiar.

“Isn't that Klarion?!” Wally belatedly realized. “Could it be…”

Not being stupid, he connected what Kent had just said and immediately understood what Kent meant by his previous words.

“That's the could be. Now Nabu is fighting with your body.” Kent walked to Wally's side. “I bet you want to know why I'm here. That's because I'm already dead.”

“Maybe it's because I was the previous Doctor Fate. Nabu accepted my soul, but now that the situation is urgent, He can only absorb me into the Helmet of Fate, which is in your body. Relax, I'll leave when the battle is over.”

Kent's words were too informative and too serious, which made Wally, who didn't like farewells, not know how to reply. Kent saw this and took the initiative to comfort Wally.

“Don't worry, child. Death is more like a relief to me. I finally don't have to suffer in the world of the living anymore. Now I can finally reunite with my beloved.”

Kent took out a pocket watch from his arms. After opening the back cover, one side was inlaid with a woman's photo. Seeing this photo, Kent's eyes were full of infinite tenderness.
