"Hello, sir. On behalf of the human world, I express our peaceful wishes to you. Of course, I would be very grateful if I could have a conversation with your queen."
In fact, at the United Nations, due to the sinking of the Western European continent, humans do not recognize Amazon as a legitimate country. However, as the first person to have friendly exchanges with Amazon representatives, Cyborg certainly cannot say anything that will lead to the deterioration of relations between the two sides.
"Personally, I don't mind coexisting peacefully with you humans, but our Queen might not agree." Dane shook his head. "Besides, she's currently fighting the Atlanteans, so I'm afraid she doesn't have time to meet with you for the time being."
Was Cyborg really just here to talk? Dane looked at the other side's men, almost all of whom were superhumans and armed. They just smiled and said nothing. I'm afraid they're going to use courtesy first and then force.
After hearing Dane's words, Cyborg and the other members exchanged glances and felt a sense of urgency. They didn't know when Aquaman would use that deadly weapon.
As a moderate in the human camp, Cyborg decided to share information with Dane. He believed that even if the Amazons did not care about human society, they would still take the safety of the entire world into consideration.
"gentlemen......"
"You can call me Dane, Mr. Stone."
Cyborg was stunned for a moment, he was a little confused as to how the other party knew his name.
However, the Flash was shocked and his eyes suddenly lit up.
It’s this familiar feeling!
So he blurted out, "Dane Davis?"
Everyone immediately stared at him. Those gazes were as tangible as if they were warm, and they made Barry shrink back.
The information Louise brought back did not include the other party's last name!
Dane glanced at him and said lightly, "In this world, I don't have that last name."
He in each world is both independent and unified, which is also part of the rules. The multiverse level can break the rules because they have the ability to do so. Things like descending into the world in real body are not impossible for them.
But the price is the collapse of the universe. Darkseid's death caused shock to the multiverse. Just one corpse caused such turmoil. His true body in his heyday may not have appeared yet, but his body mass is enough to crush a universe.
Therefore, most of the time, clones will try their best to avoid having too deep a connection with the original body in the material world, and only communicate with each other at the soul level. In other words, they can form a network, but physical entities are prohibited from gathering, unless they want to destroy the world.
Barry didn't understand what Dane meant, so he could only say uncertainly, "But you... are Dane, right?"
"Yes and no." This was the only answer Dane could give. The multiverse level was difficult for those who had not reached it to understand or explain.
"I'm not the person you know, but we are one. So, for the sake of my true self, if you have any questions, you can ask me for help. I will decide whether to help you based on the situation."
He smiled and said, "After all, I'm not a member of the Justice League now, but a divine weapon of the Amazon. I have to be worthy of my faction."
This is pure nonsense.
Their words were so confusing that there were now more people who couldn't understand them.
Cyborg now really doubts what the Flash said. Could it be that... he is not talking in his sleep?
Thomas was the only one present who could follow the two's train of thought. His eyes flashed. Compared to the Flash's surprise, he had more ideas. Why was Dane not surprised at what the Flash said?
He didn't really believe that someone could be born with knowledge, so the most reasonable guess was that he might be the one who prevented Barry from breaking through the time barrier.
But he kept this speculation in mind, and this matter needed to be verified.
"I think we should talk about something more important right now." Thomas stopped Barry before he could say anything more and winked at Cyborg.
The other party also understood. He was interrupted by the Flash and almost forgot what he was going to say.
"Dane...Sir, we have an important piece of information we want to share with your country." Cyborg then told Dane the information he got from Alexander Luthor.
However, Dane's attention was clearly diverted when it came to Cyborg's information.
He looked thoughtful. "So, the previous attack was actually launched by your people on Paradise Island?"
Cyborg was suddenly embarrassed. How should he answer this?
Dane actually knew what Cyborg was talking about. It was a super weapon made using Captain Atom's energy, and it had almost the same destructive power as the Mother Box's decomposition field.
Of course, it is only "almost". It cannot directly decompose the entire planet like the mother box, but it is more than enough to destroy the entire surface ecology and marine ecology.
However, this weapon is so powerful, but as long as Aquaman is not in desperate situation, he will not drag the whole world to his death.
In the original work, he did that because he was about to die. Only by activating the full power of the weapon could he absolutely kill Wonder Woman and complete his revenge.
But this kind of thing is actually quite easy to prevent as long as you know about it in advance, but there is no need for Dane to tell Cyborg and others about this.
This world war was actually started by the Olympian gods, and Dane wants to find out why they did this.
Although he created his own clone with the help of the gods, his method of going with the flow did not allow him to directly peek into the gods' true intentions.
Furthermore, since both Atlantis and the Amazons had the shadow of gods behind them, what about the human side? Is there a shadow of gods in the human camp? This is questionable.
Since it is a melee among three races, and humans are the largest and most populous party, there is no reason for them to be ignored by the gods.
Dane wasn't sure if there were any messengers of God among the people present, so he didn't want to reveal too much information to them.
Just when the conversation reached a stalemate, the sound of fighting was heard in the distance, and the aftermath of the battle was clearly transmitted to the ground beneath everyone's feet.
The lord is fighting, so Dane can't just sit here and slack off.
He glanced at everyone and asked, "Are you here to join the war?"
The Flash started by shaking his head like a rattle.
It was rare to find someone willing to talk to them calmly, and Cyborg didn't want to escalate the situation to the worst, so he shook his head.
Shazam was eager to try. Although it was unclear whose personality was most dominant, he clearly had the courage of a newborn calf. He was only restrained by Solomon's voice, and since he wasn't the one in charge here, he barely managed to hold himself back.
Chapter 531 Reasons for War
Batman Thomas was uncharacteristically quiet. Before coming, he had an agreement with Cyborg that he hoped the superhuman team assembled by Cyborg would follow his opinions and act in accordance with his will.
However, from beginning to end, he did not have any conversation with Dane, but just watched coldly like a bystander.
Cyborg had some doubts about this, but in a way, it was a good thing because he was afraid that Thomas would say something inappropriate.
Although the Dark Knight he invited was a master of tactics, he was not good at communicating with others, especially showing friendliness.
However, Dane knew that Batman was profiling him, trying to figure out what he was thinking. This was probably the instinct of every Batman.
After observing for a while, Thomas came to a preliminary conclusion that the man in front of him was most likely not in the same mind as those troublesome women in Amazon. This was good news, as it meant that Amazon was no longer flawless.
So he finally spoke: "I think you should know that if the scale of the war continues to escalate, this world will no longer have a future."
He rarely spoke in his usual sarcastic tone, but was very serious.
Unlike Captain Cold, he knows exactly what to say and when.
"You seem to know something." Dane said thoughtfully.
"This war is actually a bit abnormal. I've felt this way since the beginning, and even more so after Louise's intelligence report." Thomas's expression was serious. Even though he was wearing a mask, everyone could sense it. "A war driven solely by hatred shouldn't last this long."
There can be many causes of war, but a war caused solely by passion will eventually end in failure for various reasons and will be difficult to sustain.
After all, war is the final resort when conflicts of interest cannot be reconciled by other means, so its essence lies in the redistribution of interests.
No matter what the cause of a war is, its underlying trend should be driven by interest groups, and the reason why these behind-the-scenes pushers push for war is because it is profitable.
But Batman had analyzed that there was no obvious conflict of interest in the war between the Amazons and the Atlanteans. One lived on an isolated island, while the other owned the rich land of the seven seas. The two races would never come into contact with each other in their lifetimes. Thomas racked his brains but could not figure out how the two could fight.
Even if we take the factor of faith into consideration, although the two countries do not believe in the same main god, in terms of cultural origins, they all belong to the same civilization circle.
Poseidon and Zeus are both from the Olympian pantheon. They are not heretics, there is no religious purge, and there is no reason for a holy war.
There have been countless wars in the human world launched in the name of God, but fundamentally, they are all due to interests. Faith is a factor, but it is not the main reason at all. It is just an excuse.
Moreover, most polytheistic religions are relatively tolerant, so it is difficult for them to start such a wide-ranging war.
In this war, so many people were killed and wounded on both sides, but neither side gained any benefits from the other. This is obviously not in line with the general principles of war.
Cyborg and Barry want to resolve the dispute peacefully, which seems ridiculous in Thomas' eyes. He is not laughing at their naivety, but at the fact that they cannot even understand the fundamental interests of the warring parties and yet they speak nonsense. It is as ridiculous as a little kid who knows nothing trying to stop an adult from fighting.
Thomas felt that if he wanted to figure out the key to this, the breakthrough point should be Dane. As a member of Wonder Woman's camp, his attitude did not seem to be loyal to that woman.
Batman hit the nail on the head, but considering that the gods' eyes and ears might be hiding among them, Dane extended his hand.
Shazam was the first to react. Just as he was about to resist, his vision suddenly blurred and he didn't know where he was.
Suddenly a black shadow attacked, and Shazam quickly dodged. After a closer look, he found that it was a pterosaur with spread wings, exactly the same as the dinosaur he saw in biology class.
"WTF?"
Solomon immediately informed him that he had been transported to another world by the transfer magic...
On New Paradise Island, the only people left at this time are Batman, Cyborg and Flash. Dane thinks these three people should be cleared of suspicion.
Thomas realized that what he was going to say next would be a secret.
"You seem trustworthy. I'll be frank. The gods are behind this war."
A light bulb went off in Thomas's head: "They are the real planners of this war!" His tone was firm, leaving no room for maneuver.
Fortunately, Dane knew him well and nodded. "It's not just the Amazons and the underwater people. I suspect the gods are also manipulating the human world. However, faith in the gods is already very weak in the human world, and there's not much they can actually do. But I'm worried they have spies among your people."
"Is that why you're isolating the others?"
"That's right, especially Shazam. His power comes from the gods. It's hard to say whether they have set up a hidden trick on him. I heard that his true form is a few human cubs?"
The Flash and Cyborg stared at each other blankly. Shazam, as the strongest fighter on their side, had his weakness directly exposed by the other party.
Barry was fine, as he was well prepared for Dane's "prophecy", but Cyborg was very uncomfortable. The communication lasted only a few minutes, and there were only a few sentences in total, but it seemed that his side's cards and details had been figured out by the other side, which meant that their communication lacked a lot of chips that could have been used.
But the two people who were talking ignored Cyborg's feelings.
"If I remember correctly, you are a weapon created by the gods you mentioned. Is this okay? Your actions can be considered betrayal, right?"
Barry quietly pulled Thomas's hand, signaling him to speak less and not push his allies away.
He wanted to say something, but when he saw Dane's eyes, he always felt inexplicably guilty, just like a child who had made a mistake and suddenly saw his parents.
"In fact, what I am doing is to correct the mistakes of the gods. If we continue like this, not only humans but even the gods will be destroyed in this war." Dane shook his head. He didn't say more to Batman. He didn't care about the gods as much as he said. He just had other arrangements for those gods.
Thomas always liked to assume the worst of others. He had a hunch that Dane had something planned, but he didn't know what it was.
But he didn't want to find out now. Instead, he looked at Dane and said, "So our interests are aligned now, right?"
Although he was very interested in what Dane said, he was keenly aware that the man in front of him seemed to know many secrets. If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely torture him to get those secrets out.
Now, he just chose to cooperate honestly, because he was really afraid of the enemy's strength.
Dane glanced at him. Batman probably didn't know that Lois had reached some cooperation with him, and according to Dane's tracking of Lois's cell phone, the woman had not left New Paradise Island yet. This reporter was very brave and was not in a hurry to leave.
He thought about it and decided that since he had already placed his chess pieces, there was no harm in having one more. So he nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that at the moment, we do have the same interests."
Thomas quickly took action: "Then can you provide us with some help?"
That’s a nice thought, Dane was speechless.
"Excuse me for declining, but the trust between us has not yet reached that level."
"If I understand correctly, you should share our dissatisfaction with the war. I believe we can definitely reach some cooperation."
Cyborg and Flash looked at him as if they had seen a ghost, as if they were meeting him for the first time.
You look just like a damn politician now, especially your face!
But what Thomas said was not unreasonable. Although it was unlikely to get anything from him, it was still okay to share some information with him.
So Dane said to him, "I would like to offer you a friendly suggestion. Pay attention to whether there are any divine infiltrations among your high-ranking officials. I can provide you with another piece of information. The God of War is also involved in this war game. He is the god who enjoys war the most among all the gods, so..."
He gave Thomas a look that said you know what.
Among the upper echelons of humanity, the more reckless those who support war are, the more likely they are to be influenced by the God of War.
However, this gave Thomas a headache. Due to the events that took place in Western Europe, many people on the human side actually supported the war to the end, mainly the military and the military-industrial interest groups that supported them.
For them, fighting a war is good, because fighting a war is the only way to sell their weapons. Not only them, but most industries related to logistics also support the war.
War requires not only arms, but also logistics, which is a huge source of profit. Military uniforms, bedding, tents, canned food, wine, chocolate, chewing gum, cigarettes, condoms, etc. When a major war breaks out, while destroying some industries, more industries will come to the rescue and form new interest groups.
It is an incredibly difficult task to find the one who has been bewitched by the God of War from among so many people.
Even Cyborg and Flash felt that this was an impossible task.
Dane thought about it and decided to help him narrow down the scope: "When you are investigating, pay attention to those people whose behavior before and after the outbreak of the war is very different.
Ares's power has just been restored, so his methods of bewitching him are not very mature. The humans he influences usually feel out of place. I believe that these clues should be enough for the greatest detective in the world."
He guessed that, like in the movie "Wonder Woman", Ares would also interfere with the progress of the war, but he could not possess people or appear in person, so he would probably use bewitching methods to seduce humans.
But Ares, the god of war, wasn't very good at this sort of thing, though his lover Aphrodite was about the same.
