Chapter 3069 Mercury Record (Fifty-Five)
When they heard the word super weapon, Dick and Jason's eyes lit up.
In fact, they sometimes feel that the universe they live in is more logical than other universes. Many times, things develop in a spiral, step by step. Almost nothing goes up like a rocket, so they don't hold out much hope for the so-called pie in the sky.
So, does a super weapon that can completely reverse the situation really exist? Then, can we just attack wherever there is a problem?
But soon, Apollo's words broke their delusion. He shook his head and said, "It's not difficult to control this gun. The problem is that you have to have the strength to throw it out."
Dick and Jason hurriedly asked, and Apollo had to tell them that this so-called Sunrise Spear was actually forged from the sun in the mystical sense.
How to define the magic side and the science side is always a problem. Many people may think that the fantasy of the magic side must also come from reality. For example, there is a sun in the sky, so people think that there should be a god to manage the sun, so they created the sun god.
But this is not the case in the DC universe. From the very beginning, the science side and the magic side are two completely different worlds.
The appearance of the sun is not a question of whether the chicken or the egg came first.
The sun god did not appear because there was a sun in the world, but it was also not the case that the sun god appeared before the sun. Instead, after a fantasy about the sun similar to the sun god appeared, another sun appeared in the world. This sun is the sun in the mystical sense.
Most ordinary people can only see the hot star hanging above their heads, but they have endless romantic fantasies about the sun and have made many efforts to explore it. All these fantasies, research, and myths, legends, and fictional characters involved in literary and artistic creations and works together constitute the mystical sun.
This sun is the raw material for forging the Spear of the Rising Sun.
This gun only exists in the mystical sense. It cannot be seen or touched and has no entity. In other words, it cannot be fired by ordinary methods. The miracle of great force does not work in this regard.
After listening to Apollo's mysterious explanation, everyone in the group was confused. They were totally not good at this kind of thing.
There is no need to say much about Dick and Jason, they are still ordinary people and do not have any super powers. Bruce, who teaches them, is an angel himself, but he is more inclined to agnosticism and does not know much about mysticism.
Although Raven was born a natural magician under the influence of her father, the teachers in her hometown were not good enough. The only way they taught her to suppress her power was to control her emotions, and they didn't teach her anything else.
Aisha is a lamp-mon, and her memories of her time as a lamp-mon are very confused. Even if she had some knowledge in this area before, she has almost forgotten it now.
None of them are from professional backgrounds, their theoretical knowledge is weak, and their inspiration and imagination in mysticism are not strong enough. It is hopeful to ask them to make a machine that can throw spears with great force, but it is still too much to ask them to control a mysterious gun that cannot be seen or touched.
But they were not going to give up. Dick looked at Apollo and asked, "Since this gun has been built and proven to be so powerful, someone must have used it. How did he use it?"
Apollo nodded and said, "Indeed, this gun has been used three times in total. I was present only the first time. At that time, the gun had just been completed and was still in the testing phase. The owner of the gun chose a direction and threw it out..."
"How did you vote?"
"Which direction?"
Jason and Dick asked different questions, so Apollo had to answer them one by one. He said, "Some of the powers he used are beyond my knowledge. I can only tell you what I can see."
"First, there was no strong power fluctuation. I only saw a flash of light. Secondly, he didn't throw anything, but he was holding a notebook with something written in it. Finally, I'm not sure where the destination was. I only saw a starlight."
This description was a bit too vague. Dick and Jason looked at each other. They felt that at this point, Apollo would not keep it secret. He might really not have seen anything.
"Where is that gun? Can we go see it?"
"It's at the top of the bright realm. Follow me."
Apollo led them back to the center of his temple. A beam of light shone on them, and soon they floated up at the speed of light, all the way up, until the scenery below became farther and farther away, and then blended into a beam of light.
They came to a place where there was only light, and under the guidance of Apollo, they walked towards the core of the rich light. The further they went, the more weird they felt.
Their bodies did not feel the temperature, but psychologically they felt that it was getting hotter and hotter. Jason thought that this might be the so-called mystical concept, that is, it does not exist in the real world but is a combination of human spirit and impression.
Apollo stopped and pointed forward. Several people looked in the direction he pointed and saw a strangely shaped shelf.
If they had to say it, they would think it was a missile rack, but the problem was that there were no warheads on it. Several people walked around this strange rack several times but saw nothing.
"I feel like I'm on edge," said Raven. She was the most inspired person here and had become very cautious since approaching this place. She said, "There must be something here, but we can't see it."
“Can you feel it?”
"Just a little bit." Raven shook his head in confusion and said, "It's still a long way from actually touching it. I... don't know how to do it."
The clues were broken again. This thing was obviously beyond their understanding and was simply not something they could control now. Forcing themselves to study it here would only be a waste of time.
The dream of controlling super weapons to speed through was shattered. Although they were a little disappointed, they were used to it and immediately started thinking about other things.
"I knew it wouldn't be that simple. If lethal force can't be controlled, then the people who led us here should think there are other ways to eliminate Hecate..." Dick said after thinking for a while.
"I think we're overthinking it." Aisha said, "Our main purpose here is to collect evidence of Diana's crimes. Finding a way to eliminate Hecate should only be a side job."
"I think we can compromise." Jason said, "With our abilities, it is unlikely to completely destroy the Goddess of Magic. Even if the Justice League controls her, they won't expect us to kill her. Do you think this is one of the reasons why the Justice League hopes we can kill her?"
"One side?" Dick thought what he said made sense. He thought about it carefully and then said, "If Diana was reshaped by her mother's side, she played the most important role in this whole plan. The one standing behind her must be her mother, and the Justice League is also dealing with her mother's side."
"Any news from the other two sides?"
"I guess not, but if the mother is trapped, the maiden and the crone will definitely show up," Dick said.
"Do you think the Justice League wants to trap the Mother so that the other two sides can show up, or do they want to simply kill one of them in one fell swoop and weaken the three goddesses?"
"Fishing or eating? That's a good question." After a moment's thought, Aisha said, "I think we should lean towards the latter."
"What do you mean?" Dick asked curiously.
"The Justice League will not risk their students," Aisha said confidently. "If they want to use their mother as a bait to lure in the other two sides, then they will skip defeating them one by one and go straight to the final battle. What about the students on Mercury?"
"Besides, Bruce has never advocated a quick victory. Although he pretends to be young, he is not really a fool. He knows the consequence of wanting everything is that he will get nothing. To be safe, he will choose to cut off the opponent's arm first and cut the flesh with a soft knife instead of forcing the opponent to fight with him. That will not benefit him."
Jason and Dick also recalled Bruce's attitude towards things and felt that what Elsa said made sense. There was no need for Bruce to take risky measures and deal with three people at once.
"If he chooses to cut off Hecate's arm first, he will definitely kill my mother in one fell swoop, leaving no chance for the other two to rescue her. I think this is another reason why he asked us to come here. But if the mysterious spear can't be used, what else can be used to kill my mother?"
The discussion reached a deadlock here, but everyone understood that since they came here, it proved that there must be an answer here, and they must have some details that they have not discovered.
At this moment, Hermes appeared again. He saluted Apollo and said to the others: "The Queen of Gods wants to summon you. Please follow me."
Several people looked at each other, not understanding why Hera wanted to find them again, but they still followed Hermes out of Apollo's temple and walked towards the queen's bedroom.
When I saw Hera again, she was no longer dressed up, but only wearing a Greek woman's ordinary clothes, with a bronze branch crown on her head, standing on the windowsill halfway up the mountain.
A few people walked to the spacious terrace and saw that the majestic and noble Queen of God was exhausted all over and her eyes were full of compassion.
"You are looking for a way to deal with Hecate." Hera used an affirmative sentence, and Dick and the others did not deny it and nodded.
Elsa understood what Hera meant, and she said, "Do you have any solution, Queen of the Gods?"
Seeing the lovely Elsa, Hera's tense expression finally relaxed a little. She waved to Elsa, and Elsa walked over. Hera bent down and touched her head and said, "Yes, that's why I asked you to come here."
"Please forgive me for not being able to summon you in the main hall, because the God King does not want Hecate to die. He needs Hecate to maintain the barrier against darkness." Hera straightened up and lowered her head, unable to hide the sadness in her eyes. She said, "I can't disobey him, but I can't sit and watch my children die."
"Please accept my condolences." Jason didn't know what else to say other than this. He knew that no matter what kind of person the God of War was when he was alive, he was Hera's child, and standing in front of them was a heartbroken mother who had lost her child.
"I think you must have heard of this legend. In ancient times, a group of wizards imprisoned Hecate. Do you know how they did it?"
Aisha was slightly stunned, but suddenly realized, yes, in ancient times someone successfully trapped the complete three-phase goddess, which means that there has been a way to defeat Hecate, but no one has done it.
Before they could ask, Hera continued, "The ancient wizards who trapped Hecate are collectively called the Lords of Order, and the most powerful one among them is called the God Nabu."
