Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 396: Ascendance of the Crown

At night, the fog is thick and the lights of thousands of houses are as hazy and unreal as drifting ghost lights in the night fog. This is every day in Gotham City.

Evil seems to be everywhere in the night fog. Even if you stand on the top of a tall building, you can still hear countless sounds of evil and resistance coming from hidden corners.

Those sins and evil consequences are invisible forces that are difficult for ordinary people to detect, but they linger in every place in Gotham City.

But now these invisible sins and evil consequences have transformed into tangible forces that are so powerful that even the raven can detect the strangeness hidden in this city.

That was not something that was created after the demons of the seven deadly sins were transferred to the city, but it was because the traces of the demons of the seven deadly sins were revealed after they arrived, allowing himself to be discovered.

The beautiful girl and the cold-faced young man Damian stood on the city skyline overlooking Gotham City, and couldn't help but miss the grand occasion when the heroes of the Justice League were still working together.

If the atmosphere was still the same as before, perhaps Superman would not have acted on his own and the League would not have fallen apart, but fate in the world is never as one wishes.

As one of the most powerful demons, the biological descendant of Sangong Demon, Raven inherited Sangong Demon's powerful power.

Even though he needs to suppress such evil forces on a daily basis, Raven still has the ability to suppress most people in the world.

Raven's eyes were not on this dark city. At night, her eyes turned gray and looked in the direction of the Bat Cave. There was a trace of worry and anxiety in her eyes that could not be concealed.

The Batcave is now filled with countless automated machines, which are the machine army created by Batman Bruce Wayne.

But this group of machine legions does not have combat capabilities, but is instead intended to fulfill an unprecedented idea in Batman's mind.

She saw Batman sitting on the Mobius Chair, an ancient artifact that claimed to be omniscient, moving between countless machines, connecting pipes and joints made of exotic metals to the rows of powerful armor that Batman had once carefully created.

There are also some extremely precious metals that Batman melted into liquid, flowing in the Batcave, and then painted on the walls of the huge Batcave by machines, turning into layers of paint.

Among these exotic metals, many are extremely rare magical metals in the mortal world.

Inetron metal is extremely rare and can hardly be destroyed by ordinary power. It is also one of the hardest and densest metals in this world.

This metal can reflect any rays, the forces of heat and cold have little effect on it, it is an electrical and thermal insulation, and can even turn any object placed on it into a state of weightlessness.

There is also super metal, which is so strong that it can be compared to Superman's body. The strongest part of the Gulag prison built by the Justice League to suppress the new generation of super humans is made of this metal.

There is also the ninth metal produced in Thanagar, the hometown of Hawkman and Hawkgirl, which can also be called N+ metal.

This metal has anti-gravity properties. Weapons and treasures made from it, with the size of only a belt, are enough to allow an ordinary person to gain the ability to fly freely against gravity.

In addition, this strong metal itself has a special magnetic field, which not only greatly improves the wearer's self-healing speed, but is also resistant to high temperatures, has anti-magic effects, and can enhance some of the wearer's power. It can be said to be the most versatile metal in the universe.

and another equally powerful metal, Prometheus Metal.

Prometheus Metal has two forms. The consumable Prometheus Metal is a mixture of titanium and vanadium metals, which makes it almost indestructible hardness and toughness. The metal structure in Cyborg Victor Stone's body is made of this material, allowing Cyborg to exert his greatest strength and maintain maximum flexibility.

The other type of mutable Prometheus metal is even rarer and has the ability to generate and absorb almost unlimited energy. When the ability of this metal is maximized, it can also cause a living organism to mutate.

As an ordinary person, although Deathstroke possesses close combat skills that are even better than Batman and an IQ that is not inferior to Batman, his greatest reliance is the Deathstroke Terminator armor and several weapons made of transformable Prometheus metal.

This was also the reason why Deathstroke had the confidence to confront Barry, the Flash, one of the giants of the Justice League.

And Amazon metal. The surrender bracelet worn by Wonder Woman Diana is made of Amazon metal.

Amazon metals are born with magical powers given by Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, and are derived from the power of obedience and humility.

Amazon metal is very effective in defense, and in theory it can withstand any weapon and magic energy attack as long as it is within its tolerance range. Moreover, when they collide with each other, they will release a large-scale shock wave.

Any one of these rare metals has quite magical effects and properties, but Batman melted them all and turned them into layer upon layer of paint.

In addition to the rare metals that the Justice League once collected, the bat armor looks even more terrifying than these metals.

The Hellbat Armor, a piece of armor so powerful that it can be called a divine artifact in the mortal world, is just one of them.

There are also anti-Superman armors, one of which is an exoskeleton armor. Ordinary people wearing this armor can have the strength to easily lift large steel objects such as a tank armor.

There is also an anti-Superman armor made entirely of green kryptonite and red kryptonite isotope constructs. Although these armors have gradually withdrawn from the stage, they can still be one of the core drivers of Batman's crazy idea.

Among them is even a set of armor that was once known as the most expensive, a powerful armor built with more than 60% of the world's countries' military investment funds - the Fenrir Armor.

The Fenrir Armor, also known as the Justice League Armor, was once known as the Destroyer Armor in the Justice League. It has extremely powerful combat and defensive capabilities and the means to restrain almost all heroes in the Justice League.

However, this armor was destroyed and torn into pieces in the battle with Darkseid, but now it has been repaired by Batman and reappeared in the world.

In Raven's eyes, the powerful automation system in the Batcave, under Batman's command, controls countless machines to link together powerful armors, becoming the driving core of the entire Batcave.

And this huge bat cave, a huge cave hidden under the ground, has become the interior space of an unprecedented armor in Raven's eyes.

That’s right, Batman Bruce Wayne turned the entire Batcave made of steel into an extremely huge armor of unprecedented size - the Batcave Armor!

The core power source and brain of the entire huge Batcave armor is Batman who controls the Mobius Chair!

Raven's mood at this moment was extremely complicated. In her opinion, Batman was the brain of the Justice League and the most trusted giant of the Justice League. Many of the armors in the Batcave were made by the heroes of the Justice League, including Superman, who actively cooperated with Batman's experiments.

Many of these powerful materials were also acquired by the collective power of the Justice League.

The Mobius Chair originated from the war between the Justice League and Darkseid, the dark lord of Apokolips, and was obtained by Batman. However, the trust of these superheroes has never been returned by Batman with the deepest trust. Raven even thinks that Batman trusts himself too much.

"Is the Batman today still the same Batman as before?"

Raven looked at Damian beside her, the young man who seemed not very loved by his father, and said, "I even think that the current Batman is not only against Superman and the Justice League because of conflicts of interests and ideas."

"Maybe it's Batman's self-obsession and his stubbornness to prove that he's right. Oh, he looks just like you when you were a kid, a naughty kid obsessed with proving himself, Damian!"

“Who knows?” Damian shrugged coldly and said nonchalantly, “There seem to be thousands of paths in life, but we always have to choose one and move forward, right?”

"He resolutely faced the Mobius Chair, which had almost backfired, because of the path he wanted to choose. Sitting on that chair requires the strongest willpower and wisdom. It seems that he really believes that his path is the right one."

"We 'little guys' have to obey our parents' decisions, right?"

Raven turned to look at Damian, who had a calm face, and felt that this man's growth seemed to be beyond his expectations.

“But if the path he’s on is the wrong one, is it worth it?”

"The seven deadly sins of the devil. From the knowledge my father left me, I clearly understand that this is an extremely terrifying power."

"Those seven demons are merely the physical embodiment of the most fundamental power in the universe, but their potential and future are enough to destroy the entire universe."

Raven said: "Once they grow to their limit, they can be said to be the embodiment of a certain aspect of the rules of the universe, and they are born with the ability to influence all living beings."

"Sharing the power of the seven deadly sins with that angel will certainly give Batman unprecedented power, but I am worried that even Batman's will will become a puppet of the seven deadly sins and become another person from then on."

"The power of the Seven Deadly Sins is beyond Batman's imagination."

"What can we do? You know how terrifying that red dragon is. With our limited talents, who can have the confidence to face it?"

Damian spread his hands and said, "The world of adults is so complicated. Sometimes outsiders cannot imagine why they would escalate into irreconcilable conflicts and disputes just because of a breath. Is it because of interests and positions? I don't think it's entirely because of that."

Raven shook his head, and after a brief moment of contemplation, he slowly spoke: "I have a feeling that becomes clearer as time goes by."

"Not only are the seven original sin demons gradually awakening to become sacrifices, the demon of arrogance among them is coveting my power of arrogance, but there is also a deeper influence calling me."

"This profound influence was not intentional on the part of the other party, but it affected me instinctively, from the very beginning of my consciousness,"

"This made me instinctively curious about him and feel a sense of identification with him!"

Raven had an anxious look on his face, and finally spoke out his worries.

"What power can affect you?"

Damian's face suddenly changed, not only because he admired this beautiful girl, but also because he knew deeply the potential of the girl in front of him.

Raven Rachel, this beautiful girl possesses the same powerful hidden power as her father, Sangong Mo. She inherited all the power of the source of all evil since birth. Although she cannot control this power, the essence of her existence is far higher than that of ordinary people.

But Raven not only possesses the powerful abilities of the Three Palaces Demon, its own innate talents allow it to have two additional forms of darkening and unlocking restraints.

One of them is the Arrogant Raven form, which possesses worldly power that almost surpasses that of the Three Palace Demons and is in charge of one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

But such powerful potential can be easily influenced by other beings in consciousness. What a terrifying existence that would be.

"I can feel it coming from the depths of the starry sky, from a very far away place,"

Raven looked up at the starry sky, which was particularly brilliant in her eyes, with a hint of indescribable admiration and longing in her eyes.

“Although I am infinitely far away from Him, I know this influence comes from Him,”

The prismatic red gem on Raven's forehead shone with a bright light, revealing the huge shadow that once descended behind Barry the Flash, a terrifying red dragon.

Damian's breath was choked. Even his father, Batman, who possessed extremely strong willpower and profound wisdom, had to face the risk of losing himself in order to fight against the potential threat of the red dragon. He had to cooperate with the angel of unknown origin. He had no way to deal with the opponent at all.

Damian said awkwardly: "Why would he affect you!"

"How can I use a metaphor to make it easier for you to understand?"

Raven rolled his eyes, tilted his head and thought for a while before saying, "It's like the relationship between a tree and a fruit. The other party's existence is like a big tree that is about to take shape, and the power of arrogance that I possess is about to become the fruit on the tree of rules."

"My power of arrogance is not the fruit that originally grew on the other party's big tree, but once the big tree grows, it will naturally have the ability to affect all fruits named as arrogance."

"He can even influence the shape, growth, maturity date and even the way of taking the fruit within the range of his ability."

"I can influence all living beings with the original sin of pride and lust within my ability, and extract this power for use, but when I face him, I will be the one whose power he extracts!"

"Because I am much more powerful than ordinary people, I will be more deeply affected."

Raven said softly: "He once told me that I would not use the power of arrogance, and he would teach me how to use this power. This sentence is becoming a reality."

"He is almost able to stipulate what form this power should take, how it should be used, and what kind of power it should exert!"

"To use a classic phrase, he is becoming the supreme arrogance, the true crown of the seven deadly sins!"
