Chapter 214: The Merciless!

On Mount Olympus, for the first time in countless years, no thunder rolled within the eternal black storm clouds!

And at that moment, it was not only Zeus!

Every god stared at the screen in disbelief!

They could not understand how a mortal had managed to wear the helmet.

It was outright blasphemy!!!

Themyscira!

Hippolyta could no longer suppress her shock and cried out:

“Impossible!”

“Absolutely impossible!”

“He is merely human! He possesses no divine bloodline!”

“And the Titans could not have left descendants in the mortal world…”

As the Amazon Queen continued speaking, her voice gradually weakened.

In the end, she appeared completely shaken and muttered with a trembling voice:

“But that pure divine power cannot be false.”

“Everything about this is as though… as though…”

Beside her, Diana stared blankly at the screen before suddenly finishing her sentence:

“As though the true God of War has returned…”

The Queen said nothing, but her expression betrayed her thoughts.

She believed the same thing!

Compared to Ares, who possessed the blood of a god, Bruce Wayne seemed far more like the God of War destined by fate!

Among the ruins, Ares was both shocked and furious!

He believed that the helmet had betrayed him and regarded Batman as a blasphemer!

He intended to crush the mortal into pieces!

Boom!

A bolt of lightning suddenly illuminated the gloomy sky, and the furious Ares froze in place!

He lowered his head, his eyes filled with disbelief!

A hand had pierced through the flesh of his chest and was gripping his still-beating heart!

Squelch!

Golden divine blood sprayed outward, and the light instantly faded from Ares’s eyes.

In the next second, his head was severed. It struck the dirt alongside his kneeling corpse!

On Gorr’s homeworld.

Kneeling before his daughter’s grave, Gorr suddenly released a miserable laugh.

So when the lofty gods died, they were no different from mortals.

In that case…

He would personally send them all to their graves!

Inside the Hall of the Gods.

Ares, the God of War, froze completely.

All the fury within his heart instantly transformed into fear!

Unlike Diana, who could only destroy his physical body but not his divine soul…

This was true death!

At that moment, he finally understood something.

Even a god…

Could be killed by a mortal!

Bruce defeated Ares!

He had firmly believed that he could protect his mind. With his powerful will, he could control his thoughts and would never surrender himself to war!

But from that moment onward, he never removed the helmet again.

Principles? Rules? Justice? Evil?

All of those things were childish, primitive, and utterly laughable!

There was no right or wrong in the world. In his eyes, the only things that possessed true meaning were war and victory!

The weak deserved to be devoured by the strong.

That was the law of survival!

Countless viewers outside the screen fell silent.

Had the helmet altered Batman’s will?

Or had it merely allowed the Dark Knight to discover his true self?

Perhaps only Bruce himself knew the answer.

At some point, the gloomy sky turned crimson, as though the flames of war were burning across the heavens!

Bruce’s shattered Batsuit gradually melted beneath the divine power and was reforged into an enormous, heavy suit of armor!

And this was only the beginning!

Holding the blade that had once belonged to Ares and carrying chains around his waist, Bruce forced his way from the mortal world into the divine realm and ascended Mount Olympus!

There was no suspense whatsoever!

The once-arrogant gods were slaughtered, and Bruce seated himself upon the throne that had belonged to Zeus!

From his position above all others, he forced everyone to slaughter one another, creating one magnificent war after another!

Outside the screen…

As Ares watched this scene, an indelible sense of defeat filled his heart!

He had no choice but to admit it!

Even without considering the difference in power, when it came purely to warfare, Bruce had surpassed him!

At that moment, all the pride Ares had once possessed disappeared completely!

The other gods, meanwhile, felt a chill unlike anything they had ever experienced!

No one knew how much time passed.

Amid a mountain of corpses, Wonder Woman’s withered body suddenly came back to life!

No!

Rather, she had never truly died!

Her demigod bloodline had preserved her soul, while her sleeping body continuously repaired itself!

At that moment, countless devoted lovers across worlds of pure romance revealed hopeful expressions!

They believed that perhaps Diana, as Bruce’s beloved, could still save him!

After all, he had become this way because of her!

A wind carrying the scent of blood and steel swept past. Diana finally regained consciousness and realized that everything before her was real!

But when she saw Superman’s broken corpse, she still found it difficult to believe that Bruce had done this!

In the next second, Diana forced herself back to her feet!

She refused to surrender. There was still hope for this world!

As long as she removed the helmet, the war would end!

She found Bruce before the divine throne and attempted to take away the source of all this evil!

However, in the next second, she was killed!

Bruce did not hesitate for even an instant when he swung his blade!

The confusion in Diana’s eyes was painfully clear.

And the blood was unbearably vivid!

Only a second earlier, countless devoted lovers had believed that love could overcome everything.

Now, their faith shattered simultaneously!

Reality was so cruel that it resembled a nightmare!

They could not accept it!

Within the enormous black armor, no flesh could be seen except for a pair of cold eyes, as though nothing but darkness remained inside!

Bruce silently stared at the corpse beneath his feet.

Because over all those years, he had learned only one absolute truth!

War shows no mercy!

Anything that stands in its path must die!
