" I hope your son is more serious than you."
Damian said with sarcasm, hoping to irritate him, but Arthur just messed with his head. He could easily see through his plot as an elder who walked beyond eons. He was too young for pulling tricks on him.
" I hope so. God, you are similar to Bruce. You are like his mirror image."
Arthur laughed, showing relaxation after meeting with him. Moreover, he saw all younger generation heroes and gauged their potential, believing they would reach even greater heights than the founding members of JL someday, but that only happens when they steadily go. Many fell or go back from heroic paths because life breaks them in many ways, so he prayed for their fortune.
" It is ready."
Cyborg and Mister Terrific started a giant hologram display to show Arthur's image all around the world through their website. People of the world saw the familiar and cheered up with happiness, believing a new era of heroes coming.
Due to the metahumans incident, many lost their trust in heroes and governments were hunting them like crazy dogs, giving them no choice but to become villains, mercenaries, or weapons.
" Citizens of Earth, I thank you for my comrades. You have supported them many years through my absence and showed me the unity of the humans."
Arthur looked at the new heroes with and camera with approval. His words were neither unique nor loud, but it was soothing and inspiring in some ways.
" You have become great by coping with new things. I know how hard to be a human in turbulence. In the face of greater threat, even the heroes die helplessly, however, if you survive, you will learn and adapt to the new."
His speech made everything quiet because there were many good people, contrary there were even more bad than good. The heroes who had fallen for others never blamed them or demanded rewards.
" But today I will bring a new era to the humans by announcing my arrival. I will promise you new peace and order, giving you chances that you would never refuse. I hope your leaders would agree with me and shake my hands for the new era."
Arthur looked at the camera seriously, showing an image of a futuristic city in his hand which puzzled many people, including heroes, villains, governments, and normal people.
Close*
Cyborg cut the network when others were whispering to each other. He knew many would question their decision, but he stood firmly with Arthur, believing in his vision.
Eden was a city that could bring them to the new era of dawn and he wouldn't have to worry about the heroes and people. The new technology of Eden was more than enough to start another revolution in the technology industry.
" Quiet, please. I know you are surprised by my husband's decision. Truthfully, we haven't told you about our new mission and goal, thinking there would be some reckless or loose people who would leak out our new project."
Diana said lightly while looking at the whispering heroes. She could see the emotions inside their eyes.
" Justice League and Arthur's city Eden which is located in another dimension will start cooperating as allies and we will build an interdimensional portal on the moon if the government refuses us."
Clark spoke loudly, showing a big hologram image of Eden which was bustling with various races. Heroes felt wonderful when they saw such a unique view and city. They never imagined one of their leaders was from another dimension and he had such a beautiful city.
" In Eden, you don't need to worry about your identity or looks. They welcome all kinds of people as long as they don't have an ill interest against the city."
Barry said with a smile, believing he would spend his retirement here. Among the heroes, he was the most attracted one to the city because he wanted his family to live here safe under Arthur's administration and he wanted the same to others who were chased because of their powers and abilities.
" So, I beg you. Please, help me to give these people new hope. I know some of you had experienced harsh lives due to your identities and abilities, so give these people a new chance to live."
Arthur said, looking at them earnestly. His voice ignited the passion inside the heroes as they raised their hands to approve his decision.
The new era of humans was dawning upon them.
