Chapter 3075 Mercury Record (Sixty-one)
Greed and arrogance led Professor X to the abyss.
When Professor X saw the captured mother, it cannot be said that she was completely intact, but she had begun to take human form.
But what Professor X saw was obviously not what it seemed. When he saw the mass of unknown substance, his eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly took his mother out of Schiller's tower and returned to his own spiritual world.
Pride followed Greed to his room, slowly climbed onto the table, straightened his upper body and said, "Now that the inspection is complete, can we talk about the price?"
"Don't worry." Greedy picked up his medical record book and said, "I have given you a lot of ideas. I will deduct the planning fee first..."
"I'll kill you." Pride said, "What else have you given me besides some strategies to deal with Mount Olympus?"
"What do you mean by giving you some strategies? I gave you a complete plan, including how to release the eldest son to kill Hera's son Ares, so that she can completely turn away from Zeus and turn to us, and then arrange for the children to conduct a series of investigations to connect the various magical forces together..."
"Stop talking nonsense." Arrogant said impatiently, "If you want to calculate, calculate it quickly. I'll go back early. Maybe the body can be saved."
"I'm afraid it's difficult. After all, every aspect of the Three-phase Goddess must be fully utilized."
In the fake Mercury made of green light energy, Bruce recalled the conversation between the two in the ward before Schiller left Mercury for Earth.
At that time, Schiller went to Brand, and Lilith was almost scared by Brand, and then taken away by Clark. It was at this time that Schiller called Bruce, and the two finalized the next plan.
It is not difficult to face Hecate head-on, but the difficult part is how to make her appear. This series of events on Mercury clearly showed that this cunning goddess of magic was behind the scenes. The biggest difference between her and other villains they encountered was that she knew how to hide herself and would not act rashly.
Moreover, the Dark Justice League has not been established, and the magical power of Schiller's Universal Justice League is relatively weak. It is difficult to find Hecate's hiding place based on clues. Even if they find it, they may not be able to get in, and there is a possibility of alerting the enemy, causing her to hide again.
So the key point of this plan is how to force Hecate to show up.
Schiller sensed something was wrong with Diana when she came to his house to deliver vegetables.
In fact, if Schiller was in a normal state, he might not be able to feel it, but it happened that at that time Schiller was allowing Circe's curse to erode his body, and his condition became weaker and weaker, and his empathy and psychoanalytic abilities became stronger. He noticed the problem almost as soon as he met Diana.
Of course, even without psychoanalysis, Diana's appearance was very strange. In Schiller's understanding, Wonder Woman was also a person who valued efficiency.
Her diplomatic career, which is much longer than that of ordinary people, has taught her to judge the situation and always show up when others need her most, instead of causing trouble for others without reason. Her visit this time was a little abrupt, because she had no reason to visit Schiller. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was just trying to find something to talk about.
So even if Schiller didn't notice anything unusual at that time, after experiencing a series of chaos on Mercury, he would guess that there might be something wrong with Diana.
So the pressing question is, did Diana know that she had a problem?
This question is questionable, because although her behavior is abnormal, if she knows about it and feels guilty, the first person she will deal with is the mind reader Lilith, and Lilith should be able to read some of her malicious thoughts and tell Clark.
But no, Diana did not take any action against Lilith, and Lilith did not seem to read her malicious intent. Jenna, who was in front of everyone in the Justice League every day, did not feel that there was anything wrong with Diana.
This means that Diana may have been controlled, but she herself didn't know it. In this case, she naturally had no ill intentions and would not feel guilty, so there would be no way for the mind reader to find out her flaws.
In this case, the success rate of Diana drawing out the mother side of Hecate is not high.
Because Diana herself didn't know that she was being controlled, she would definitely not admit it if the Justice League suspected her. Bruce also didn't have any conclusive evidence, so he couldn't convince other members of the Justice League to take action against Diana, and he couldn't put pressure on the magic goddess behind her.
It is indeed difficult to convince other members of the Justice League to take action against Diana. Even photos and videos may not be useful. They must be caught in the act. However, it is easy to convince other members of the Justice League to trap Diana along with everyone else.
Oliver, Clark and even Hal are all reasonable people. As long as they know that their mother has the ability to control others without making a sound and that there is a high possibility that there is a mole in the Justice League, they can be convinced to trap everyone together and no one can leave until the real conclusion is reached.
Once Diana was trapped, this chess piece would be useless. Normally, the mastermind behind the scenes would not be able to touch Mercury. But as the saying goes, conspiracies are defeated by greed. Diana couldn't go this way, so she realized that she actually had another way, which was Schiller.
Schiller saw that something was wrong with Diana at the time, but he was not strong enough to directly see Hecate behind Diana. He just followed the principle of casting a wide net to catch more fish, so he kept Diana for a while longer, talked to her about Circe's curse, and let Diana have physical contact with him. Anyway, no matter what method the mastermind used to control Diana, such a long time and so many conditions were enough for her to shift her target to Schiller.
Hecate was fooled, and taking advantage of the physical contact, she also left her seed in Schile. After completing Diana's pregnancy, she immediately started to conceive Schile.
As for why she was so determined to use the opportunity of pregnancy on Schiller, there was actually nothing special. Hecate's target was Mercury, and there were only a few targets on Mercury that Diana could reach. Schiller looked like an ordinary person, and his willpower might not be very strong. After nurturing him, there might be a chance to get another one. The more the better.
But unexpectedly, Hecate ran into a tough opponent. She created so many illusions for Schiller, trying to destroy his spirit and will, but Schiller kept dragging it out until Diana's move was useless, and Hecate could only pin her hopes on him.
Everyone knows what happened next. Diana was restrained and could no longer create various accidents to force the Justice League to split up and let Hecate defeat them one by one.
But Hecate was reluctant to give up the progress she had made here, so she had to make a desperate attempt to complete Schiller's pregnancy as soon as possible, take over Diana's work, and continue to cause trouble on Mercury.
The result is that the sunk costs are too high and she is directly trapped by Schiller. The time she spent on Schiller was enough for her to give birth to three or four superheroes. Now if she extricates herself, all that time will be wasted. She can only go down this path and will not turn back even if she hits a wall.
But Schiller appeared to be very weak, which gave her a feeling that he was about to succeed. Combined with the final verbal stimulation, the mother, one of the three phases, seemed to have lost her mind, her mind full of thoughts of taking advantage of the victory, and she was completely defenseless against Schiller.
Schiller, who has been divided into different bodies, has a safety mechanism. Once either the physical body or the mental body hits rock bottom, he will be forcibly teleported back to the tower.
Hubris took advantage of this, and under Circe's curse and Hecate's pursuit, he successfully reached the critical point of triggering the insurance, and dragged the mother of one of the three phases back to the tower.
After formulating a plan with Bruce to trap Diana, Pride contacted Greed through the Fighting World System. Since they were going to use the tower to deal with Hecate anyway, they might as well make the most of it and sell her for a good price.
On the one hand, he can make a fortune from greed, and on the other hand, the Marvel world has Professor X, the strongest mind reader in almost all comic worlds. He should be able to figure out what is going on with the mother's mysterious fertility ability. After all, Diana and Edward and Jonathan who are suspected to be controlled also need to be rescued.
Greed was also interested in the mysterious goddess of magic. He gave Schiller more advice and asked him to take this opportunity to deal with the mess on Mount Olympus. This led to the Young Avengers' long series of ring-running missions.
The strategy against Olympus is completely different than against Asgard, because Odin and Zeus are completely different.
Odin was not a good father, but he was at least a good emperor. Young Thor was not a good monarch, but he was definitely a good brother. Young Loki was neither a good leader nor a good brother, but at least he had ambition and ability.
As the saying goes, there are so many talents in the world, you must have one, right?
Zeus basically has nothing. If you have to say something similar, it's that he is good at having children, and all the capable fighters on Mount Olympus are more or less related to him.
Just looking at the incident with the Goddess of Magic, you can see how incompetent Zeus is.
Since you need the power of Hecate to resist the invasion of darkness, you have to at least appear to be able to do so on the surface. Even if you are just making empty promises, you have to appease others. If you really intend to fight to the death, you must kill them with one blow and never give them any chance to recover.
Zeus, on the other hand, gave up because he thought the cost of saving Hecate was too high, causing her to fall into a deep sleep. However, he was reluctant to give up the power Hecate used to resist darkness, so he allowed her to revive. He was a typical fool who was unaware of his own mistakes and was short-sighted, yet he thought he was very smart.
It is said that garbage is a resource placed in the wrong place, but this kind of person will turn wherever you put him into a garbage dump.
Greedy believes that Zeus is of no use, but Mount Olympus is indeed still useful. These ancient gods live long and are more powerful than each other, which can make up for the lack of magical capabilities in the DC universe.
In this case, it is better to abandon Zeus and replace the actual leader of Mount Olympus. Whether in terms of ability or morality, Hera is the best candidate.
