Kansas State, once again a leisurely morning, Bruce, sitting on the ridge, looked at the luggage thrown over by Clark and was quite unbelievingly startled.
"Bruce, I know this might be a little hard to accept for you, but the fact is, I'm afraid you have to return to Gotham."
In front of Bruce, Clark, Constantine, Diana, Hal, Oliver, Arthur, Harley, and Jason stood in line, all staring at Bruce's face, almost like the villagers of Novice Village staring at a hero.
"You'd better hurry back to write your thesis!" Hal said seriously: "I'm not joking with you, hurry back to write your thesis to prevent your professor from going mad and destroying the world!"
Constantine bent down to look at Bruce and said, "Shiller's madness of this magnitude cannot be solved by normal means anymore. You've seen it. Such a ferocious Joker has been driven mad by him. How long can the universe survive if you don't go back and bind him?"
Diana pulled him back a little and said to Bruce, "Of course, we're not morally kidnapping you. We're more worried about you getting hurt than you are because once something happens to you, no one would be able to restraint Shiller."
After that, everyone took a step back, leaving a clearing. Hal snapped his fingers and instantly, green light emerged.
Rich green light burst from Hal's body, then turned into a thin line, and then formed the shape of a battle armor in front of Bruce.
The color green gradually disappeared, revealing the main colors of red and black. This was a set of battle armor, but unlike the ordinary Bat Armor, it was lighter but sparkled with magic, looking as if it was from a dream.
"This is the armor we made together for you, the main purpose is to prevent you from getting hurt."
Hal was the first to speak, "As you know, I and Shiller got a lot of Green Lantern energy from the Green Lantern Corps. I compacted about half of it to form the foundation of the armor."
"Which means that this armor contains the energy of about 600 Green Lanterns' rings, and it's fully compatible with the Lantern Furnace. It can be recharged at any time, and once you have it on, no Green Lantern will ever find out you're a stranger."
"At the same time, it also carries many abilities of the Green Lantern energy. For example, it can fly, can teleport for short distances, can shape energy weapons, has a universal knowledge base, can translate most of the cosmic languages…"
"More importantly, it can change into different shapes according to your mind. This is also a molding ability of the Green Lantern energy. For instance, you can make it become heavy armor to intimidate the enemy, or make it so thin that it seems nonexistent and wear it under a shirt without attracting attention."
"I have enchanted it." Constantine sighed and said under the stare of everyone's piercing gaze: "Don't get me wrong. It's not the enchantment of magic. Morpheus left me with some of the authority of the dream god. So the ability of this armor remains effective in both dreams and the Psychic_Battlefield."
"Even in the Dreamworld, it has some special abilities. For example, I can make you turn into a plant or an animal, teleport for long distances, or even move between dreams."
"I originally wanted to use the traditional enchantment of the Olympus Gods to strengthen this armor, but after studying it, I found out that the Green Lantern energy is quite peculiar, it doesn't need an additional enchantment." Diana said.
"In order to add more functions to this armor, I had to have Clark accompany me on a trip to Mount Olympus to talk to those moody gods, each of them added an ability to this armor."
"The Moon God blessed this armor with the moonlight, giving it stronger power in the night. The Underworld God allowed this armor to blend completely into the night. At night, it can camouflage perfectly as a shadow with no substance to fear all physical attacks. The Wind God increased its flying speed, and even allow you to continue to speed up with the help of the airflow... "
"I blessed this armor with the grace of the sea." Arthur said in a monotone voice: "With it, you will become the warrior of the sea, having the ability to control water, moving faster in the water, and some sea creatures will heed your command."
"I have no special abilities." Oliver looked at Bruce, shrugged lightly, smiled, and said, "But the Mexican people and I are always on your side. In addition, I've cooperated with Hal to let this armor's chest condense an arrow of will, which hits its target accurately and inflicts damage every time."
After quietly listening to everything, Bruce cast his gaze on Clark. Clark averted his gaze and said, "I've already helped Diana."
"He gave you his blood." Jason sold out Clark. He went to Bruce's side and looked into his eyes, "Clark blended his blood into this armor, giving the armor the ability to recharge with solar energy. Under the sun, it never falls."
Bruce stared at Clark intensely. Clark sighed and said, "I apologize for putting you in danger. If I can't stand by your side, then I must shed blood for it."
"This is not about taking a risk." Bruce said with a hint of helplessness, "I always have to go back to Gotham. You guys are making a big deal out of nothing."
"Of course we know." Constantine took a deep breath and then sighed, "Actually, we all know, Shiller will not go mad in this universe. If he wanted to do that, he would've done it a long time ago."
"And the key to keeping him calm is you," Hal stared at Bruce's face, "So you must not have any accidents. If anything happens to you, Shiller will go insane. No one here can stop him. You have to ensure your own safety, and we will do our best to help you."
"I can see that." Bruce looked back at the armor. He stood up, stretched out a hand, and gently touched the surface of the armor with his fingertips.
The energy slowly spun from his fingertips to his arm. Bruce did not resist but just closed his eyes and felt a power that ordinary people never experienced, gradually wrapping his body.
It was not the Green Lantern energy nor the various abilities brought by his friends, but a more sublime feeling.
"We support you in your pursuit of justice, and know that you can uphold justice."
"We know you can do it and hope that you can do it better."
"Even if you can't do better, you don't have to be disappointed."
"If you feel disappointed, look at yourself and look at us."
"This is not the end; it's the beginning."
"Bruce."
"Bruce."
"Bruce."
The voices of everyone echoed in Bruce's ears, the words they left in the armor became an armor that was stronger than powerful abilities. They completely integrated into Bruce's body, and he had never felt as powerful as he did today.
Soon, the energy-constructed armor didn't take on an overly ferocious shape, but left some energy patterns on Bruce's body like a tattoo.
After Bruce opened his eyes, Clark approached and said, "Well, we were kidding before. Actually, after our discussion, we found it safer for you to stay with Shiller. The crazier he is, the stronger he is."
"The road to reforming Gotham is bound to be rough." Oliver stepped forward, patted Bruce on the shoulder, and said, "Instead of staying outside, it's better to stay with your teacher. There's no danger that can get near you through him."
Clark flew into the air and beckoned to Bruce, "Come on, try your new capability!"
Bruce slowly spread his arms and slowly lifted his feet off the ground. The feeling of flying was very wonderful, and he almost instantly fell in love with it.
Just as the two black spots were about to disappear in the sky, Constantine's yell came from the ground:
"Oh yes, don't forget to write your paper! Don't provoke Shiller anymore. I don't want to get treated by him again!"
Two days later, Constantine sat dejectedly in Shiller's office at Arkham Mental Hospital. Shiller put the cap on his pen, gently tapped on the table with the tip of the pen, and said, "So, now you and Thomas have become two separate personalities. I am very sure that your brother will never accept your smoking, drinking, and taking drugs…"
"Kill me!" Constantine covered his head with both hands and said in a hoarse voice, "Damn split personality, Thomas is long dead!"
"But you resurrected him with your own hands just to take revenge on me."
Constantine clenched his teeth, climbed up from the table, and stared at Shiller, "So what do I do when I'm in bed with a woman? Is he going to watch on the side?"
"If you don't mind, he can also watch when you are in bed with a man. After all, he is British too."
"You..."
"Alright, I carry out psychological treatments for free out of a sense of responsibility to patients. If you don't appreciate it, then pay now."
"Alright, alright, in order to be able to afford your consultation fee as a quack doctor, it's time to start running the Constantine family's book trading business properly. You've opened a bookstore, right? Where are the supply channels we talked about last time?"
"I won't be doing business with you." Shiller stood up mercilessly, turned around, and said, "Don't think about using the curse bookmark sandwiched in the book to burn my bookstore."
"How would I... wait, you're not Arrogant!" Constantine squinted at Shiller, "The phrase 'do business' would never come out of Arrogant's mouth... are you Greed?"
"Greed would make you pay the consultation fee first." Shiller shook his head, walked over to the pine tree beside his office desk and began trimming the leaves.
At this time, Constantine sneakily approached, leaned over to get close to Shiller, and said: "Could it be that you are a new personality? You seem quite affable. What kind of trait do you have? Speaking honestly, do you have the trait of lust? You must have it, right? Bring it out and let me have a look!"
Shiller first slowly turned his head. The moment he looked at Constantine, Constantine took a step back because he saw a pair of desolate gray eyes that seemed to see nothing.
But soon, the gaze slowly focused on Constantine's face. At that moment, Constantine's cold sweat drenched his shirt.
"Interesting." Shiller's deep voice rang out.
Then, he put away the pruning shears in his hand, touched his tie, and looked down at his dark suit. He frowned slightly, seeming unsatisfied.
"You want to meet Lust?"
While looking at Constantine, Shiller slowly pulled his tie from his suit and began to untie the knot.
Normally, this action would be interpreted as a frivolous and promiscuous hint, but all Constantine wanted to do right now was escape, the faster the better.
"No, I don't, sorry to disturb! Goodbye, and never see you again!"
"Bang!"
This was the sound of the door being closed.
"Alright, now, let's talk about whether your Dissociative Identity Disorder has caused your attention and curiosity to shift inappropriately..."
