I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 205 The Last Dark Knights Battle

After Thomas and others left through the sonic boom channel, Jacques lay quietly on the ground for more than two hours before recovering. However, he did not return to the Batcave immediately, but chose to go to the last secret place first to deal with the darkness. The last member of the order - the Ravager.

On the one hand, it is because the Devastator will spread the Doomsday virus, so he cannot be allowed to come to the ground. Otherwise, even if the battle is won, the Doomsday virus spread may cause more damage.

And the antidote is only a small bottle, only enough for one person, if you bring too many people, it will only hinder you.

On the other hand, Jacques still feels the burning sensation brought by the omega rays tormenting him repeatedly. This is not from physical damage, but from a spiritual impact, so he urgently needs a hearty experience. A dripping victory, to dilute the spiritual impact that Darkseid had on him.

And more importantly, he didn't want to go back to the Batcave to face his companions before he adjusted his mood - he didn't want others to know about the fact that the universe was about to be destroyed, but now in a state of upset, he I have no confidence that I can hide from those smart women.

But obviously, what left Jacques after the victory was only more and more anxious. After all, every second of fighting the Ravager, he could recall the terrifying coercion brought by Darkseid.

"Uh, hiss—"

Suddenly, Jacques pressed his chest and took a deep breath.The burning sensation all over his body when he was hit by Darkseid's omega rays seemed to be getting stronger - Jacques began to realize that this was not a simple injury, but some kind of psychological scar similar to PTSD.

"The damage to the spirit cannot be endured alone all the time, otherwise it will continue to ferment and form a psychological shadow. There is no need to be brave all the time, Jacques."

Hearing the sudden voice from behind, Jacques' expression changed, and he immediately raised the dagger and pointed it behind him like a conditioned reflex.

"who is it?!"

Seeing the figure standing behind him, Jacques immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately tightened his nerves again - after being backstabbed by Thomas Wayne, now he can't trust anyone for a while.

"Drown Resentful Soul, when were you here? Has the poison on your body been lifted?"

In front of Jacques was the drowned wraith holding a trident. Her gaze slowly moved from the tip of the dagger that Jacques had been pointing at her for a long time to Jacques' face.The moment he met her sharp eyes, Jacques felt as if he had been seen through.

"I took that compound poison for the second time, and my body more or less developed some resistance. After I regained my ability to move, when I came here following your trajectory, I happened to see you destroying with that ominous posture. What happened to the Ravager's body, Joaquin?"

That's it, it seems that there is another side effect after destroying the daily chemical, that is, the perception of the surroundings is not as sensitive as before.He didn't even notice that someone was coming, so it seems that we should pay attention to this point in the future.

"It's nothing, it's just that I accidentally let Thomas slip away, but I snatched the anti-destruction potion from him, and then I planned to take the opportunity to deal with the problem of the ravager. By the way, Brucey, you haven't taken the antidote yet, Better stay out of here-"

"It's not necessary."

The drowned wraith suddenly put down the trident, and then walked towards Jacques. She gently pushed Jacques' hand holding the dagger away, and then hugged him tightly.

"You are—uh!"

Jacques's brain, which had been in a tense state just now, went blank for a moment, and it didn't know how long it took until the drowned resentful soul separated from him before he came back to his senses.

"You took the antidote just now, right? In this case, I also took the antidote indirectly."

".Brucey, you are—"

"Is your pain better now?"

Jacques' pupils narrowed slightly, and he looked at the Drowned Wraith in disbelief, but as she said, after the moment just now, the burning sensation that had been lingering had weakened a lot.

"I don't know what happened, but I can see your pain, and it's psychological - after all, you obviously have no trauma."

"I'm not a psychiatrist, but I still know that it is a biological instinct to touch and lick each other's wounds. This way at least it can relieve your pain."

As soon as the words fell, the drowned resentful soul hugged Jacques tightly, and when he felt the warmth from Brucey, the burning sensation brought by the omega rays was weakened again.

"I don't want you to become a cripple because of the deteriorating mental damage. After all, you and I agreed to rule the oceans of this world together."

Did I really make such an agreement?Jacques couldn't remember that he had done such a thing, but it didn't matter anymore, because the warmth brought to him by the drowned resentful soul really comforted and healed him.

After closing his eyes for a moment, Jacques gently pushed the drowned wraith away when he opened them again.

"Bruce, I have something to tell you—"

"It's about the imminent destruction of this world, and the agreement between you and me may not be fulfilled—is it such a trivial matter?"

Jacques looked at Drowning Resentful Soul in surprise, and there seemed to be an imperceptible smile on the corner of the latter's mouth.

"Although I am a bit boastful, don't forget that I am also the greatest detective in my world, and I can more or less analyze it through the current intelligence."

"Then don't you think"

"Scared? Desperate? How could it be—this is not the first time I have seen the end of the world."

The hand of the drowned resentful soul reached out to Jacques' face, gently stroking his cheek.

"But the more important thing is that after you know all this, even though you feel uneasy and anxious, you are not yet desperate. If this is the case, I am willing to bet on you and believe that you have the ability to change your destiny."

The words of the drowned resentful soul were like a ray of sunlight penetrating the deep sea, instantly clearing up his mood that had been muddy due to a series of bad news.

Jacques took a deep breath, his tense nerves were relieved, and he returned to his previous state.

"Thank you, Bruce. Your words mean a lot to me. I know what I should do." Let's go back, the Dark Knight is sort of done, but we still have a lot to do—"

But just as Jacques was about to leave, he found that his arm was being pulled by the drowned resentful soul.

"I don't intend to go with you to save this universe. If I'm by your side now, I can't exert my full strength."

"How come, Bruce. And I can protect you—"

"It's because of this that I can't be by your side, and your other companions probably also have this idea, right?"

Jacques was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly understood the meaning of drowning the resentful soul.When facing Darkseid, if you still take into account the people around you, you will put yourself at a disadvantage from the very beginning.

"I'm planning to go to Atlantis, don't worry about me, no one is my opponent in the sea."

Having said that, Drowning Resentful Soul held Jacques's hand, her eyes were full of complex and tender emotions.

"Can you have one final 'battle' with me before you leave?"

Jacques understood Drowned Wraith's words—and in fact, he didn't intend to refuse.

And just like that, the final battle with the Dark Knights began.
