I, the younger brother of Superman, got the Thanos template

Chapter 161 Don't force me to be a transcendent! (4k3)

The First Redemption Church sent a message that Redemption, regarded as the messenger of God by billions of Catholics on the earth, met with the Transcendent who had saved the world several times to discuss the disposal of psychic pirate masks.

"The grassland is endless, so you don't have to worry about destroying anything, and there are no cameras.

If anything happens, it's simply the best place to fight. "

Aquaman shook his head, feeling vaguely uncomfortable from the location chosen by the other party to meet.

"Maybe he just really wanted to ask for the mask just in case?"

The Flash winced and whispered a possibility.

But others were obviously not as optimistic as he was, especially Batman, who never trusted anyone, and he knocked on the table.

"In any case, the mask must never be handed over to him."

He knew that the mask had been sent back to the paradise island of the Diana family by David. As an Amazon family who had guarded the Mother Box of Apocalypse for countless years, he was more assured of putting the mask there than the sudden "salvation" .

In addition to 'redemption', the First Redemption Church is a Catholic sect funded by some wealthy people. There is no power to protect the mask.

"I have found some clues about the past of the pastor named Hightower. He once talked about his experience in a sermon. He participated in a meat grinder-like battlefield. Some of the details, coupled with his age, Most of them are talking about World War II.”

Steel bone frowned.

"Give me some more time and maybe I can find out his detailed history."

A priest who served in World War II.

David knew the last time they discussed, there was nothing to dig deeper about 'salvation'. His life history was easily found, with evidence from neighbors, teachers, and classmates. Ordinary people of God.

"It was the mysterious 'Hightower' who discovered real gold in a pile of gravel, turning Jarrod into the God's messenger 'Salvation'. This man whose past has not been found is full of doubts."

"The appointment for 'salvation' is tomorrow morning, is it too late?"

Hal Jordan asked, coughing.

In fact, he didn't care about the issue of 'salvation' before. He has always been a character who would not worry about tomorrow's events that have not yet happened, but the trend shown by 'salvation' is not only the possibility of shaking the world.

An inexplicable appointment, a special mask designed to make any religious fanatic think mad.

"There was no Internet at the time of World War II..."

Steel Bones looked troubled.

To be honest, he didn't have much confidence that in just one day, with a few vague clues, he could sift through the vast world of online information to find Hightower's true identity, not to mention that it was possible that Hightower's identity might not be known in the online world. recorded.

"It's ok."

David stood up slowly.

"No matter what his identity is or what purpose he has, he will always use the hand of 'redemption' to complete it.

In the end, we have to return to strength. "

He wants to see how far the power of 'salvation' can grow after the fame spreads all over the world.

Clark and the others knew that if there were no accidents, there might be a battle between the two of them tomorrow, and no one would be able to help him in that battle. Tomorrow's battle might be the battle between the two strongest humans.

……

In the quiet late night, the starlight shines into the church through the large glass.

'Redemption' Jarrod was wearing a blue battle suit, with a tall body carved out of marble, kneeling in front of the pulpit, with a little confusion between his brows, praying in a low voice.

"I know that taking on too many people's beliefs puts a lot of pressure on your mind."

An old and gentle voice came, and Hightower, wearing a nightgown, walked out slowly from the lighted bedroom behind the church, holding a cup of hot tea.

"Would you like some tea?

Tea can soothe the nerves. "

"No, thank you, Father."

Redemption has a hard tone.

"It's not just other people's expectations of me, the believers place their faith in the Lord on me, and my current strength has been raised to an unimaginable level.

I don't even dare to speak loudly now, for fear of shattering the houses and people in front of me.

This is more dangerous than Yasir's situation last time. "

Last time Yasser, he couldn't control the sudden surge of power, causing a military base to evaporate in this world along with hundreds of lives.

But this time not only did his strength skyrocket, compared to the increased strength, the energy he originally possessed in his body was simply insignificant, like a rabbit suddenly having the strength of an elephant.

"I'm sorry about Yasser.

None of us wanted to. "

Hightower took a leisurely sip of tea.

"But you have to control your power with patience and faith.

My child, you and I rely on each other and have gone through the hardest part of the road.

Now the sudden appearance of the dawn is the Lord’s revelation to us. Are we going to be so weak that we ignore the Lord’s help? "

"We have an instant opportunity to spread the glory of the Lord throughout the world, just by taking that mask.

Live up to the gaze the Lord casts on us, the Lord pays attention to us. "

Hearing these words, 'Redemption' straightened his body, and a trace of excitement gradually appeared on his face.

These abilities of his are the gift of the Lord, and his coming to the world contains the will of the Lord. As Father Hightower said, he is the messenger chosen by the Lord to spread the gospel.

"What are these and Abraham and Isaac's test of faith by the Lord."

Hightower shook his head and chuckled.

Hearing this, a trace of devout fanaticism emerged from 'Redemption''s eyes, like a defender who could be martyred at any time.

This is an allusion in the Bible. God tested Abraham's faith in him and asked him to take himself and his wife's only son Isaac to a mountain with a journey of three days and three nights, and personally kill him as a sacrifice to him.

When the young Isaac went to the mountain with his father who did not bring any sheep but wanted to sacrifice to God, he saw his father raising a dagger and realized what was about to happen, but he did not resist at all and bowed his head in obedience.

The loyalty of the two has withstood the test. When the tragedy was about to happen, an angel appeared to stop them. Since then, the eyes of the Lord have been watching them.

"I have fought in the cruelest war of mankind.

When my comrades-in-arms and I were ordered to press down on a front line of the German army, we dropped tens of thousands of corpses and never broke through that line. "

Next to the window, Hightower was holding black tea in one hand, wiping the fingers of the other hand across the cold window sill, looking at the moonlight pouring down like frost on the ground.

He seems to have returned to that cruel and ruthless cold night when ammunition and food were exhausted. When more than 2 German soldiers launched a late-night raid with guns like ghosts, their defense collapsed at the touch of a button, and everyone would die at the gunpoint.

"Under the flames sprayed from the muzzle, in the ditch, I knelt on the ground trembling, crying bitterly and praying to God that I would survive and go back to my hometown to see my parents again.

When I was in despair...the Lord cast His gaze unsparingly, and a miracle happened! "

A blue light bloomed between his praying palms, gorgeous and sacred, and then the light illuminated the entire battlefield.

"Under the protection of the Lord, I survived the battlefield of the meat grinder.

After that, I vowed to spread the glory of the Lord to every corner of the world! "

His eyes glowed with blue light, and reflected in the glass, he looked like a powerful angel under the throne of God, exuding divine power.

"Until the last moment of my death, my faith in the Lord never wavered and I passed his test.

Tomorrow may be the Lord's test for you, Jarrod. "

Hightower took a sip of tea and turned his gaze back.

"You don't have to go through the trials of Abraham, and you're luckier than me, not to face death."

Redemption shuddered and clenched his fists. He seemed to see a corner of the kingdom of heaven and the door opened to him with a deep and powerful voice.

"Father, I understand, I will take back that mask."

"You are the energy source, and I am the engine. We are the two chosen by the Lord to change the world. No matter how many thorns, ups and downs, and trials lie ahead, I will stick to the Lord's faith!"

“Very well, after you set off tomorrow morning.

I will, as always, lead the congregation to pray for you. "

Hightower's eyes were more radiant, as if echoing, and Jarrod's body also exuded a powerful blue light, like a blue sun with infinite energy.

"——Help you fulfill the Lord's will!"

……

In the hot weather, the cool wind blows through the half-person-high grass, and hyenas, cheetahs, even lions and elephants can be seen passing by on the grassland from time to time.

Redemption was suspended in the air with his arms folded, his eyes closed. The powerful magnetic field of life emitted from his body made even the most ferocious predators on the grassland tremble and retreat. Not far away, dozens of meters away, an elephant group raised its trunk and screamed in terror. Neighing, he suddenly backed away.

Elephants, who have never encountered natural enemies on the African grasslands, will run away at the hope of wind.

"You are late."

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.

"Half an hour has passed since our appointed time."

The body surface exudes a strong purple light, which slowly descends from the sky. David is wearing Shazam's purple-like battle suit, and the golden thunder and lightning symbol on his chest sets him off like a majestic god, with his hands behind his back.

“It’s good that I can come.

Did I say that I would agree to your appointment? "

A few hundred meters away, Clark, Diana, and Batman Cyborg landed aside, with solemn expressions, ready to fight.

"The Beyonder set out half an hour late to give me time. I still haven't found any information about Hightower."

Cyborg was a little annoyed and frustrated.

Both Batman and he had a hunch that the mysterious Father Hightower might be the key to the matter.

"Perhaps his identity information has long been secretly sealed in written documents by his country."

Batman frowned, offering a possibility to comfort Cyborg.

They searched for clues that Hightower had revealed in his sermon that he had said that in the battlefield, the mercy of the Lord had favored him as never before, so that he survived and made him realize that he had a mission.

What can be called the Lord's unprecedented mercy? I'm afraid something unusual happened to Hightower on the battlefield, which may have caused his country to block the information.

"Now it's all about David.

I don't know if we can help for a while. "

Looking at the two people facing each other nearly half a mile away, Clark clenched his fists. When the redemption appeared last time, the speed he showed was faster than him. I don’t know how far the power of redemption has climbed, and whether David can deal with it. .

"I hope that guy isn't too powerful." Hal Jordan didn't know what to say.

Have other Lanterns been in a situation like this?
Not to mention dealing with interstellar affairs, he is incapable of solving even the problems in the planet itself, relying on his team members to maintain the world.

"I think as long as that guy doesn't surpass me, I should be able to help the surpasser in the battle."

The Flash twisted his wrist.

"Where's the mask of the man who attacked Metropolis?

transcendent. "

Withdrawing his gaze from the Justice League members in the distance, Salvation didn't care about putting down his folded arms, and the voice of the lion who seemed to be poised to pounce was cold and stern.

"You have to hand it over, it's dangerous."

"You don't have to worry about whether it's dangerous or not.

I'm curious why you asked for it. "

David didn't seem to see his posture of attacking, and his face was calm.

"Do you really seal it up as something created by the devil, or use its power to achieve the ulterior motives of you and the church behind you?"

"'Redemption' just isn't what it used to be."

In the distance, seeing Redemption's aggressive expression through the screen of the mecha, Batman frowned immediately.

The previous meeting, and some images of Jarrod, can all see the hesitation and kindness in the brows of this young man, but now he is like an instigated Templar, with no other purpose than to achieve.

Swish!
Faced with the undisguised suspicion in David's words, a huge blue flame ignited on Redemption's body, exuding majestic energy, like a super volcano on the verge of eruption, scorching the earth instantly with the scorching high temperature, the energy Ripples spread away, setting off gusts of wind.

"Hand it over, don't force me to do it.

I can't control the power I have now! "

The sharp and warning growl was heard far away on the grassland.

"What's the meaning.

Are you afraid that you will accidentally kill me? "

The blades of grass turned to ashes, the high temperature was hundreds of degrees, and the palpitating energy fluctuations made David feel as if a breeze paved the surface, but he just raised his eyebrows.

"The energy index he emits has surpassed any human nuclear reactor."

An ear-piercing warning came from the system, and Steel Bone stared at the scanned astronomical figures with horror on his face.

"Even far beyond!"

"Back, we must back!"

"What do you mean?" Hal Jordan in mid-air lowered his arms unsteadily.

"Don't we even have the ability to stand here and watch?"

Their teammates and people are about to fight, so it's fine if they're not ready to step forward to help, but retreat?

"If you think you can survive a nuclear explosion, you can ignore this."

Cyborg warned in a deep voice, pulling Arthur back quickly.

"Cough...cough, I think I can remotely support the transcendent.

Come on, Barry. "

Seeing that the two people in front were at war with each other without saying a few words, and the battle was imminent, Green Lantern raised his hand to form a round table and lifted Flash up, and the two retreated back together with the others.

Only three remained.

Clark, Batman wearing Fenrir's armor, and Diana wearing the Guardian Shield, the three of them stared into the distance.

David and Salvation don't need to say any more. From the attitudes of each other, you can feel the determination of the other side. One doesn't intend to hand over the mask at all, and the other is bound to get the mask. If the situation changes, I am afraid that only one person will use his strength. Overwhelm the other.

Rumble!
"As I thought, you have other plans for the other side."

The two confronted each other by remote control, and their eyes flashed electric fire. David's face was full of indifference, and the sky seemed to be aroused by his emotions. The weather suddenly changed, dark clouds rolled, and thunder and lightning flashed.

His slender and powerful body was surrounded by dazzling divine thunder and lightning, and strong winds blew low across the grassland.

"I'm not interested in what plans you have, but if you worry about masks in the future and cause trouble, I'm here to solve you!"

The reason why he agreed to meet Redemption here is because David has no reason to back down, and second, if Redemption really harbors evil intentions, he might 'visit' the Justice League headquarters in order to get the mask, which is very close to Metropolis.

And 'Redemption' is not a guy with ordinary power. If the two fight, maybe the whole city and nearby towns will suffer disaster.

"Transcendent, is this your choice?

You are rebelling against the will of the Lord! "

Redemption roared, and the energy in his body exploded, like a dazzling sun rising on the ground. The explosive force shattered the ground hundreds of meters in radius. His figure was like a comet and the air wiped out flames, and he punched David with a bang!
