Chapter 3071 Mercury Record (Fifty-Seven)
"It's like this, we came here this time to..."
"Don't even think about it. No way. I won't help you." Nelson casually put the helmet on the table next to him.
Jason crossed his arms and asked curiously, "You seemed to know we were coming, and you seemed to be strangely hostile to us. Why?"
"This has nothing to do with you. I won't help you anyway. Please go out. I still have to work." Nelson turned around and sat behind the desk, as if he didn't intend to pay any more attention to them.
Seeing that he was refusing to cooperate, Jason had to bring up some old stories. He asked, "Professor Schiller once came to Metropolis before coming to Gotham. Did you meet him then?"
"What does it have to do with you?"
"Nothing, just asking." Master Dark Night said, "You strongly disagree with Professor Schiller going to Gotham."
"That big mouth!" Nelson's tone sounded a little bit bitten. He said, "I was drunk and talking nonsense. I have no connection with the Professor Schiller you know."
"Really? You look like a jilted woman."
Dick's eyes widened, and he quickly pulled Jason back to stop talking, but Nelson seemed to be detonated and said, "Yes, I told him not to go, but he insisted on going. I was abandoned, what's wrong?"
"You two are indeed very close." Jason narrowed his eyes and said, "Judging from the age difference between you two, rather than being your senior brother, he is more like your teacher or...father?"
Nelson was rare to be silent for a long time, and Jason could feel that he was not a hot-tempered person, and all his abnormal behavior had reasons.
"Not now." Nelson suddenly said this, then stood up and said, "I need to maintain my work, I don't have time to save the world with you..."
“We’re not asking you to help us save the world.” Jason sighed. “We just want to ask Nabu, who might be in your helmet, how he imprisoned the goddess of magic Hecate.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw something being thrown over. Jason instinctively reached out to grab it and found that it was the helmet. Nelson seemed to not want to pay any attention to them at all and let them communicate with Naboo themselves.
Jason and Dick had no choice but to start fiddling with the helmet, but they didn't dare to put it on their heads easily. In the end, Raven covered the helmet with magical power and heard Nab's low voice.
Nab seemed unable to perceive external information without the helmet, so Dick had to briefly explain the situation to him. Upon learning that Hecate had returned, he could only sigh.
"We did not use any special method at the time, but only relied on the power that could suppress Hecate," said Neb.
"What kind of power could suppress Hecate?"
“The power of God.”
Jason and Dick were silent.
"It's not that difficult actually." Nabu said, "In ancient times, many sacred objects containing the power of God were left on Earth. We found some of them and used them as the raw materials for the magic circle to trap Hecate."
"It's really not difficult." Dick said unhappily, "If I have the power of God, I can deal with the Magic Goddess. But now that I have the power of God, I don't need to deal with the Magic Goddess."
Jason still held out a glimmer of hope. He said, "So can we find something that contains the power of God now?"
Neb was silent for a moment, then said, "Everyone knows how powerful God's power is. If such a thing really exists, can it wait for you?"
Everyone was silent. What Nab said was true. In ancient times, they were able to obtain sacred objects containing the power of God because there were not so many people in ancient times. They also obtained the power of Hecate, so of course they were invincible on the earth. It was normal for them to obtain some relics of God.
But things are different now. After so long, the relics of God that could be excavated have long been taken away. Even if they can still be found from those people, it is hard to say how much power is left in them. What if it is too thin and cannot trap Hecate? Then all will be lost.
After returning empty-handed once again, Dick and his companions did not choose to go back to Gotham directly, but instead went to Luthor Manor again because they hoped that Luthor could persuade Nelson to join them.
It's not that we must rely on the power of Doctor Fate, but Naboo can be said to be an authority on the occult, and with a professional like him, the investigation can go more smoothly.
Lex said hesitantly after learning from them about their communication with Nelson and Nabu.
"You should know that it was the angel's halo that helped Gotham dispel the dark clouds, right?"
"what?"
"My university graduation project," Lex said, "helping Gotham dispel the dark clouds and restore the sun, with the help of the power of the angel halo. There shouldn't be a purer relic of God than that, right?"
"Oh, it can't be called a relic." Lex said, "Because it was not dropped by God, but given to Schiller by God. It is still fresh."
Dick and Jason were still young at that time. They only knew that this happened but didn't know the specific principles. After hearing what Lex said, they immediately became excited.
“If that’s the case, then can’t we use this thing to trap Hecate again? Wait, who did you say God gave it to?
"Professor Schiller."
They were confused again. This world was just a huge Möbius strip. How come all the clues would eventually lead back to the starting point?
"If it's Professor Schiller's aperture, why doesn't he come back to get it himself?" Dick asked in confusion, "Why did he go through such a big circle to lead us back..."
"I'm afraid Professor Schiller is in some trouble." Jason speculated, "Don't forget, Faust said that the witch Circe controlled him. Although the truth may be the opposite, at least she can use the power of witchcraft now, otherwise Faust would not have been turned into a toad. Maybe in his current state, contact with the angel halo may cause some problems, so someone else must take it."
"There is something in this world called a mobile phone." Aisha was a little fed up and said, "If he just wanted us to get the angel halo, he could just send us a text message!"
"Then how did the Young Avengers come together?" Jason understood Schiller very well. He said, "How did we unite to investigate and get along and train with each other just to deal with Hecate?"
Dick sighed and said, "Whatever the reason, the clues pointed to by this long series of puzzles are probably the angel halo. I guess Professor Schiller wrote the process with the answers in hand."
"But our gains are far more than just the angel halo. Not to mention the training we received, we sneaked into the Amazon with Deathstroke and met the queen of the Amazon. After arriving at Mount Olympus, we made friends with Apollo, Hermes, and Hera. Especially Hera, she has made it clear that she wants to cooperate with us to fight against Zeus. These are all valuable allies."
"Go find Nabu and let him know that we are dealing with Hecate. If they succeed, then they will owe us a favor. After all, Hecate is their biggest creditor. When the time comes, we can ask Doctor Fate for help, and he won't be able to refuse."
"You mean, Professor Schiller made us go through so much trouble just to win the power of the wizarding world?" Aisha said with a frown.
"Yes, you know, Professor Schiller and Bruce have plans to bring in foreign enemies. This is probably part of their preparation."
Aisha nodded and said, "Indeed, if we can get the help of the Olympian gods and the Lord of Order, then we won't have to worry about the combat power on the magic side. This is exactly what we lacked before."
"That's all for the future. Let's focus on what's in front of us. Do you know where the angel halo is?"
Dick looked at Lex next to him, and Lex spread his hands and said, "Those are teaching aids I borrowed. I will return them to Gotham University after graduation. Why don't you ask the current president?"
"Don't go back to the starting point!" Aisha yelled, "Go call Sivana. We're only going back once, grab the things and leave!"
Lex smiled and patted Aisha's head, but still picked up the phone. After a conversation with the other end, Lex said, "This thing is still somewhat dangerous. It is now stored in a safe in the basement of Gotham University. Professor Freese has the key, and he is waiting for you in his office now."
Finally seeing the light of the end of the long ring-running mission, they returned to Gotham University with their last breath. The moment they saw Victor's smile, they understood that everything was probably arranged by Schiller, because all the key figures in promoting the mission were more or less connected to Schiller.
But they couldn't care less about that now and just had to get the key props first.
Victor led them to the underground safe and got the Angel Halo very smoothly. This thing looked like an ordinary glowing circle. Although it was impossible to tell what material it was made of, it felt very hard. Even Elsa didn't dare to bite it.
It radiates a holy light, but just like the light they felt at the top of the realm of light, it does not act on the body but on the spirit, making people feel relaxed and uplifted.
After getting this thing, they did not go to Mercury immediately, because they knew that trapping Hecate's mother was the most difficult step, and now it should be at a critical moment, and they cannot act rashly.
They returned to Wayne Manor together, drank a cup of hot tea, and after relaxing, their topic still revolved around Professor Schiller.
"I think what you said makes some sense." Aisha said, "Professor Schiller may really be unable to touch the halo himself for some reason, but I don't think he is controlled by others, but he doesn't want to ruin the plan."
"It seems you have some guesses."
Aisha nodded and said, "Let's start from the beginning. It is known that the Mother Phase of the Three-Phase Goddess has the ability to regenerate the spiritual bodies of others. I say this is her most difficult ability to deal with. Does anyone have any objection?"
Everyone else shook their heads. They understood that the power of witchcraft and the power of the night were relatively easy to deal with. The most difficult thing to guess in this world was the human heart, and the most difficult thing to deal with was a human heart that had been changed inadvertently.
Hecate has the ability to change people's hearts almost flawlessly. In addition to making people turn to her unknowingly, she can also arouse internal suspicion among those who oppose her.
If you don't play Werewolf, there will always be a traitor. But if you play Werewolf, it will take up most of your energy, and in the end it will be the Father who kills the Brother who kills you, and you will end up attacking your own people.
"I guess Professor Schiller might be trying to limit Hecate's ability." Aisha made a bold guess. She said, "We have speculated before that conception requires a medium and also time. And I'm afraid it's impossible to conceive many babies at once."
"In other words, if Hecate has set her sights on Schiller and wants to re-incubate his spirit, then Schiller can find a way to hold her back so that she can't use this ability on others."
"That makes sense!" Dick snapped his fingers and said, "It's too difficult to deal with Professor Schiller in the spiritual world. As long as Hecate is determined to target Schiller, this ability will be useless."
"I understand." Jason said, "It's actually a tug-of-war. On the one hand, we have to make Hecate feel that she has hope of winning so that she won't let go and is determined to take down Schiller. On the other hand, we have to keep attacking Schiller so that we can't take him down and waste all our time on him, and won't be able to harm others."
"And he can't touch the aperture because he's probably worried that the power of God will alert Hecate. After all, Hecate has been imprisoned by this power before. If Hecate is scared away, he might target someone else again, and then there will be endless traitors to catch."
Several people agreed with this view, and Aisha said again: "It is only a matter of time before Hecate is restrained. Now it depends on how the Justice League controls Wonder Woman."
