Inside the luxurious medical bay of the spaceship gifted to Chen Tian by the Nova Corps, soft lighting illuminated the space.
Chen Tian scratched his head and looked at the three life support pods.
First image: Wonder Woman - Diana, her divine power drained by Bayonetta, is unconscious, and her tattered armor has been replaced with a white hospital gown.
Second image: Hal Jordan, his shoulder pierced by Kiana's space spear. Without the Lamp Ring, he is just a strong, ordinary person. If he didn't have a life support pod, he would be dead by now.
The third one: Superman – Clark Kent, or you could call him Kal-El.
His bare upper body was covered in scorch marks. Although he had been defeated by Goku and fainted, his powerful Kryptonian physique was allowing his wounds to heal at a visible speed. His eyelids were twitching, and he seemed to be about to wake up.
Chen Tian frowned. Three hot potatoes.
"How about we kill them all?" Chen Tian murmured.
"Hey! Chen Tian! This is not in the honor of a warrior!" Wukong squatted to the side, holding a roasted lamb leg in his hand, and mumbled indistinctly.
Chen Tian curled his lip. "Diana or Hal Jordan are fine, but the problem is Clark Kent. You just had a big fight with him, and you can see that he's not someone you can easily talk to."
As he spoke, he tapped his temple. "The deaths of his wife and his unborn child have driven him to extremes, to a tyrannical insistence on justice."
Upon hearing this, Wukong scratched his head and said, "Anyway, we can't kill him while he's asleep. We'll deal with it when he wakes up."
Wukong's persistence left Chen Tian speechless.
Chen Tian knew that even if he forcefully killed Superman, Wukong wouldn't say anything. However, given Wukong's simple-minded warrior nature, he would definitely feel resentful.
Even if Wukong continues to obey Chen Tian's commands in the future, there will definitely be a distance between them.
Chen Tian was unwilling. Although Dante, Goku, and the others were all summoned by him, Chen Tian treated them as his partners.
(Dante: No, I consider you my nephew.)
(Virgil: No, I treat you like a child.)
(2B: No, I consider you my Master.)
(Kiana: No, I consider you my commander. By the way, when can we get a warship? Calling you commander sounds so awkward, calling you captain sounds much better.)
(Bayonetta: Ha, men, you call me "Baby" when we sleep at night, and now you call me "partner"?)
(Diavolo: Hehe, your soul...hehe...smells so good, am I drooling?)
(Saitama: This is so boring.)
(Wukong: Partner? Hello, partner.)
(Uchiha Madara: My lord, although I am not as good as the above-mentioned ones, could you please let me make an appearance? I haven't been on the scene for a long time, so I can clear out some of the grunts.)
(Kratos: .......)
Chen Tian's thoughts were wandering wildly until Wukong reminded him, "Hey, Chen Tian, that guy is about to wake up, should I knock him out again?" As he spoke, he threw the sheep bone in his hand aside.
Chen Tian then noticed that Superman's eyelids were twitching even more violently, indicating that he was about to be awakened by his nightmare.
Chen Tian slapped his forehead and pulled out a green dot of light from his summoning space—a kryptonite that Batman had once given him.
He looked at Superman's body, considering how to insert the Kryptonite into that part of Superman's body. He first examined Superman's lower body, then quickly shook his head.
"Damn it, Wade corrupted us!"
At this moment, Superman's other wounds had basically healed, with only the wound on his chest remaining with a final crack. Chen Tian quickly flicked his finger, precisely inserting it into that crack.
Superman's body suddenly stiffened, and veins bulged on his forehead.
His eyelids trembled violently, his body twisted and contorted, and hoarse groans escaped his throat. Green lines spread from the wounds, crawling all over his body like vines.
Three seconds later, he fell heavily back into the life support capsule, and his breathing gradually stabilized.
Wukong swallowed the meat in his mouth: "You didn't kill him, did you?"
Chen Tian waved his hand, "That kryptonite is so small, at most it will only turn him into an ordinary person."
Upon hearing this, Wukong stood up, clapped his hands, and brushed away the food scraps in his hands.
"That's good, I'm going to the restaurant now! I'm not full yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished from the spot.
Chen Tian's lips twitched. "Is this how you use teleportation?"
Chen Tian glanced at the monitoring data in the life support pod and confirmed that all three were in a deep coma. He turned and disappeared from the medical pod, leaving only the rhythmic beeping of the instruments.
On Earth, the ruins of Washington are still smoking. The former political center of the United States has become the city that Little Boy bombed, perhaps even worse.
After all, the city that the little boy destroyed left behind a scene of ruins.
Because Zeus, Poseidon, and Ares all died there, the climate in Washington became extremely chaotic.
Rain continued to fall from the sky, and the rainwater was somewhat corrosive. It was fine for a while, but if you stayed for too long, you would find that the steel was covered in rust.
Large amounts of thunderclouds accumulated in the clouds, and lightning struck intermittently. These lightning bolts were completely different from normal lightning; they didn't prioritize striking high places or conductive objects. Instead, they fell without any pattern, sometimes exploding.
The ground was in a terrible state, with hardly any intact sections. There were craters everywhere, and even the subway station was destroyed. In several large craters, lava was churning inside. Fortunately, the lava was gradually cooling down.
The sea outside Washington was also turbulent with strong winds.
Tony was in the Arbitrators Building in Malibu, watching the news on TV, and he wasn't in a good mood either.
The news media split into two camps: one supporting the arbitrators and Batman for successfully preventing the Justice League from degenerating into the Injustice League.
Most of the supporters are people affected by the Justice League's so-called "purge operations," whose relatives and friends were killed or maimed in these operations.
The scene shifts to a middle-aged woman with red, swollen eyes from crying: "When Superman burned down the whole street with his heat vision, my daughter was doing her homework in a coffee shop..."
A middle-aged man with a full beard was wearing a black suit. His eyes were red and his suit looked worn, but it was obviously well-maintained. He was also holding a few white flowers in his hand.
"My child and I had just returned home from the amusement park when, to my surprise, my child was run over and killed by a truck thrown by Superman just because I rubbed my eyes."
He reached out and wiped away his tears, and the reporter then noticed that his right hand was a medical prosthetic from Stark Industries.
The casualty figures scrolled at the bottom of the screen: 23,418 civilians died in the Injustice League's "purge," and the numbers continued to scroll. (I made the numbers up.)
A CNN commentator pounded on the table: "When so-called 'justice' begins to slaughter civilians, Batman's intervention is not a civil war—it's humanitarian aid!"
On social media, the hashtag #ThankYouBatman# is flooded with testimonies from families whose lives have been destroyed. The hashtag #InjusticeLeague# is filled with angry curses from the public.
Where there is support, there is also opposition.
The opposition is largely composed of Washington district officials and Wall Street vampires who suffered heavy losses because of this major battle.
In opposition news reports, a senator roared at the ruins: "This is outright terrorism!" The camera panned across the collapsed Capitol Building, with captions indicating an estimated direct economic loss of $4.5 trillion.
A former Injustice League official gave an exclusive interview: "We maintained a crime rate of nearly 100%, and Batman and the Arbitrators' unauthorized war will reignite the flames of crime that were once suppressed!"
The expert opposite him sneered, "The criminals you're talking about include the father who had to steal a loaf of bread to feed his daughter? Or the ten-year-old boy who accidentally knocked down a Hakimi in his neighborhood because his bicycle brakes were broken, and was burned to death by Superman's heat vision? Oh, and I forgot to mention, the Hakimi was also burned to death for swearing?"
The expert's words caused the phone screen to instantly turn into a rainbow of stripes with the words "Live broadcast suspended due to technical issues" displayed in large letters.
All of the above is just what television news reports have shown; the situation online is even more chaotic.
Top five trending topics on the internet:
1. #SupermanIsTheMurderer
2. #ArrestBatman
3. The death of Zeus triggered a climate catastrophe.
4. #On what basis does Superman determine criminals?
00001. 5·#Who is the most handsome and beautiful among the arbitrators?
Tony stood in front of the holographic projection, surrounded by countless news images flashing around him.
He waved his hand, turning off all the screens, and the conference room fell into a brief silence.
"Friday," Tony rubbed his temples, "any news from Chen Tian?"
"Boss, Mr. Chen has set off on his return journey and is expected to arrive on Earth in 12 hours," Friday's voice rang out.
Tony tugged at his collar, a wry smile playing on his lips. "Very well, this mess..." He picked up the whiskey on the table and downed it in one gulp. "It should be left for that brat to deal with."
"Fraiday, how are the arbitrators' treatments going?" Tony asked Friday again.
"Boss, the situation is not good." Friday's holographic projection unfolded, displaying 3D scans of each arbitrator, with injuries marked in red.
Natasha
—Multiple soft tissue contusions throughout the body, right arm dislocation has been reduced, abrasions in the right thigh bone, muscle tears, and a mild concussion. Currently undergoing rehabilitation training in the training room and refusing to rest in bed.
Banner
—Seven ribs were broken, and there was minor internal bleeding. It is expected that he will need another 48 hours to wake up.
Pietro
—Comminuted fracture of the scapula, fractures of the ulna and radius in the left arm, and a fracture of the right femur. The medical pod is using nanotechnology to reconstruct the bones, but the high metabolic rate is slowing down the healing process.
Steve
"—Fractured L1-L3 vertebrae, 27 fractures in both hands. His serum-reinforced bones are showing signs of fatigue from the excessive combat. Even more serious..." Friday paused, "...his adrenaline has pushed his body to its limits."
Tony tapped his knuckles on the table: "Speak like a human being."
"Captain Rogers will lose at least ten years of his lifespan."
Tony was even more troubled. "Oh right, what about Thor? Didn't Asgard send anyone to pick him up?"
"I'm sorry, Boss, no one from Asgard has come yet," Friday replied.
"How is he?"
"Boss, Mr. Thor's situation is a bit unusual." Friday's holographic projection switched to Thor's 3D scan image. Golden energy veins flowed through his body, but his brain area was shrouded in a strange black shadow.
"External injuries have healed 98%, and internal injuries have recovered 80%." Friday zoomed in on the shadowy area, "But here—a high concentration of magical residue has been detected, preliminarily analyzed as a mental interference spell."
Tony frowned: "Who did this?"
"Possibly Hades, one of the Olympian gods, with an 85% probability." On Friday, a battle video was shown: Thor suddenly froze while fighting Zeus, and countless plumes of black smoke rose from his ankles and enveloped him. "This is the moment he was affected by magic."
Then the scene switches to a rapidly spinning black smoke, within which Hades' face slowly appears, only to be followed by a scene of snowflakes.
"Is that Hades? He looks like a bald vagrant." Tony looked at Hades, whose face was only partially visible in the image.
Tony leaned back heavily, the leather chair creaking under the weight. "So we're helpless with Thor's situation now?"
Friday's holographic projection flickered: "Based on Miss 2B's combat log analysis, the probability of the target using Netherworld power is 92.3%. However, conventional medical treatments are ineffective against magical wounds."
"Isn't there any other way?" Tony was exhausted. He was the only one who could handle things now, while Ethan was busy in the medical room.
"Boss, you can try contacting Kamar-Taj." Friday's voice paused for a moment before replying to Tony.
"Karmar-Taj? The Sorcerer Supreme?" Tony sighed. "We fought like that in Washington before, and the Sorcerer Supreme didn't show up. I'm a little unsure if she can come to help."
"Boss, please allow me to remind you, Miss Wanda Maximoff is studying at Kamar-Taj," Friday reminded Tony.
Tony sat bolt upright, his eyes lighting up. "Friday, you're truly my intelligent angel!" He snapped his fingers. "Contact Kamar-Taj immediately and tell them—"
Before Tony could finish speaking, a golden spark ring had already bloomed in the center of the conference room.
Wanda strode out of the portal, draped in the crimson robes of Kamar-Taj.
"Tony!" Wanda's voice was anxious, tinged with guilt. "I saw the news...everyone..."
Her gaze swept over the data on the wounded on the holographic projection, and her pupils suddenly contracted.
"Damn it, I... didn't know about this war. If I had known, I would have..." Wanda muttered guiltily to herself.
"Hey, little witch, it's not your fault," Tony patted Wanda on the shoulder. "If you have to blame someone, I think you should blame your little sweetheart. He and Batman orchestrated this war."
Tony grinned mischievously. "I have a little suggestion. You could make him sleep on the floor instead of in bed! But wait, the floor is a bit much. How about the sofa? Three days! I think three days will be enough to make him admit his mistake."
Wanda's feelings of guilt were dispelled by Tony's banter. She rolled her eyes at Tony, then remembered something, "Where's Chen Tian?"
"Him? He and his bunch of non-human teammates are fighting Superman." Tony shrugged.
"Superman?" Wanda tensed up again, her fingers twisting together. "Could Chen Tian… be his match?"
Just then, another foot wearing cloth shoes stepped out of the portal.
Wang's plump body emerged from the sparks, holding a steaming bowl of instant noodles in his hands.
"Don't worry about that kid," Wang mumbled, slurping his noodles. "The Sorcerer Supreme said that guy has more trump cards than the forbidden books in the Kamar-Taj Library."
He glanced at Wanda's tangled fingers. "Have you forgotten that kid is someone even the Ancient One fears?"
Wanda's tense shoulders relaxed slightly, and the scene of Chen Tian casually summoning two giant dragons on Mount Everest flashed through her mind. He certainly didn't seem like someone who would suffer a loss.
"However…" Wang suddenly put down his instant noodle bowl, wiping his greasy fingers on his robe, "this Mr. Thor's condition is not good."
He leaned closer to the holographic projection, his nose almost touching the black shadow. "Tsk tsk tsk, Hades is really bold, actually trying to devour his godhood. Speaking of which, why doesn't Odin do anything about it?"
Wanda then looked seriously at Saul's image, her expression becoming very serious, no longer as helpless as before.
She said in a deep voice, "No, Hades cannot devour it."
Wang and Tony looked at Wanda.
Wanda said seriously, "Thor is Odin's son, and his divine power and divine status should be comparable to Hades'. However, he has always relied on external objects to activate his divine power, which is why Hades was able to take advantage of his weakness."
Tony crossed his arms and smiled. "Hey, looks like our little witch has a solution?"
Wanda laughed. "Of course, we just need to draw out Thor's divine power, and his own divine power will be enough to dispel Hades' magic."
Wang frowned. "Wait! Are you sure this is safe? Thor is currently unconscious. Suddenly stimulating his divine power might cause it to go out of control."
As he spoke, he looked around and said, "If things get out of control, this beautiful building will be lost."
Tony frowned as well. "How about we go somewhere else?"
He didn't want the Arbitrators Building, which he had spent several sleepless nights designing, to be gone just like that.
Wanda confidently replied, "No need, I can control his divine power."
Wang Yi raised an eyebrow. "Then you mustn't use the power of chaos. You know, Xisone is also known as the God of the Underworld. If chaos magic collides with underworld magic, I wonder if it will cause uncontrollable consequences."
Wanda laughed. "Your Majesty, do you know why I went into seclusion for three months to cultivate?"
Wang scratched his head in surprise, "Wasn't it the Ancient One who requested it?"
Wanda held up one finger. "No, I've discovered something new inside me."
Wang's eyes widened, and Tony also looked at Wanda's fingers in disbelief.
On Wanda's finger, the crimson of chaotic power flowed, but it was quickly enveloped by a blue flame. The chaotic power, which should have been chaotic, suddenly became gentle.
"This...this is Chen Tian's Demonic Flame?" Tony was dumbfounded.
"Hmm~" Wanda said excitedly, "I don't know how Chen Tian's demonic flame ended up in my body, but it helps me control chaos magic very well."
Upon hearing Wanda's words, Tony suppressed his surprise and gave her a meaningful look.
"Wanda, I know you love Chen Tian very much, but you and Chen Tian are still young. Please make sure to take precautions. I don't want to be like Chen Tian, who's already causing trouble in my lab in just a few years."
As soon as Tony finished speaking, the conference room fell silent.
Wang suddenly burst out laughing, but he laughed so hard that he choked on his saliva. He coughed and slapped his thigh, "Hahaha..."
Wanda's face flushed red. "Tony! What...what nonsense are you talking about!"
Tony grinned mischievously and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Hey, I'm just an elder who cares about his juniors." He deliberately spoke in an elder's tone, "After all, Chen Tian went from a little nerd to the hero he is today, but it was me who nurtured him, Little Wanda."
"Friday," Tony suddenly turned to the ceiling, "make a note of this: request from Dulux Corporation to order their latest burp bag, the ultra-thin kind."
"Recorded, Boss." Friday's voice carried a hint of sarcasm. "Should we sync this to the Arbitrators' meeting minutes?"
"No!" Wanda screamed and jumped up.
Wiping away tears of laughter, Wang suddenly pulled a small booklet from his robes: "Speaking of which, page 3 of Kamar-Taj's *The Wizard's Guide to Marriage and Love* clearly states—"
"Your Majesty!" Wanda stamped her foot in embarrassment and anger, "If you continue like this, I won't help Saul anymore!"
Tony immediately raised his hands: "Okay, okay, we were wrong."
But he immediately added with a wink, "But seriously, if that kid dares to bully you, my Anti-Chen Tian Armor 3.0 is ready to go at any time."
Wang suddenly leaned close to Tony's ear and whispered in a way that everyone could hear, "I bet $100 that kid can't beat Wanda when she's furious."
"I bet 200," Tony said, pulling out a crumpled dagger from somewhere, "that he won't even be able to get into the bedroom."
Wanda was so angry her hair was practically flying. She gritted her teeth and turned to Thor's medical pod: "I! Am! Going! To! Be! Cast! Spells!"
Tony and Wong immediately sat down side by side like well-behaved students, but they were still exchanging glances. Tony even secretly gave Wong a 'you know' gesture.
"Ahem," Wanda took a deep breath to calm herself, and blue and red light once again shone from her fingertips. "Now, please remain quiet."
But just as she was about to cast the spell, Wang suddenly chuckled, "Sorry, sorry, I just suddenly thought of... uh..."
Under Wanda's murderous gaze, he swallowed back the question, "Will your children inherit the Chaos Flame?" and instead asked, "Will Thor's first words when he wakes up be, 'I want mead'?"
Tony immediately chimed in: "I bet 500 that his first words will be, 'Where is Odin?'"
"I don't have that much money, I'll owe you for now," Wang said, pulling out his wallet. "His first words were an insult to Hades."
Wanda's forehead veins bulged. She decided to pretend she hadn't heard the conversation between the two childish brats. As she waved her hands, dazzling magical light began to flow around the medical pod, enveloping Thor completely.
Tony and Wang, like two spectators at a ball game, pulled out popcorn from somewhere and ate it while whispering to each other as they continued their betting game.
This time, however, they wisely kept it from Wanda.
Wanda's fingertips emitted a dazzling blue-red light, which wrapped around Thor's body as if it were alive.
The light, like tiny snakes, burrowed into Thor's body through his seven orifices.
Thor's body immediately trembled violently, and blue lightning surged wildly across his body, but was firmly bound to his body by Wanda's magic.
"Hold on…" Fine beads of sweat appeared on Wanda's forehead, her hair moving even without wind. "I can feel Hades' magic resisting…"
Tony and Wong held their breath, watching the blue and red lights move through Thor's body.
Suddenly, wisps of black smoke began to seep from Thor's mouth and nostrils. The smoke twisted and turned, as if it were alive and trying to get back in.
But Wanda's magic clung to them tightly, dragging them out of her body little by little.
As the last wisp of black smoke was drawn out, Thor's body suddenly stiffened, and lightning exploded in his eyes.
He sat up abruptly and roared:
"Damn Hades!!"
The entire medical pod's glass shattered instantly, even the ceiling lights exploded. Tony silently pulled out five hundred dollars and handed it to Wang, who smugly stuffed the money into the sole of his shoe.
