Chapter 830 – Side Story 333 the Dark Knight Rises (15)
Gaiden 333) The Dark Knight Rises (15)
“Heh… Huh…”
“Keugh… You fucking bastards…”
The war between the Hero Association and the Ploen family has come to an end. Both sides breathed heavily from exhaustion.
It was the Ploen family who had the upper hand in the beginning, but the momentum eventually went over to the Hero Association as reinforcements continued to be added.
However, the Floen family was a powerful villain group with a reputation in the Dark City. There was even a motive called a revenge battle, so the Hero Association also suffered great damage.
The Ice Queen fighting Robert left scratch marks all over her body and the ice mask she was wearing on her face cracked. In the case of Aqua Girl who fought Illya, she allowed a blow to the abdomen and eventually retired. The dragon knight who fought Max, his companion monster, Argos, was almost half-baked, and Pierrot was also in a bad condition.
Of course, the damage was greater to the Floen family.
Except for the S-class and A-class villains representing the Ploen family, such as Robert, Max, and Illya, most of the villains were defeated.
In fact, it was safe to say that the war was over.
“Brothers, are you okay? Can you hold on?”
“Keuhehehe… Fuck! We can fight for another month!”
“Kuk!”
Robert burst into laughter at Max’s bravado-filled shout. Usually, Robert is famous for not showing his emotions, and that’s why he was nicknamed “Robot” Instead of “Robert”. When he is fighting a strong man like he is now, he becomes emotional like any other person.
“The baby is bluff. Isn’t your leg trembling? Why don’t you just fall?”
“Isn’t that hyung’s condition not a word? I thought the snowman was standing.”
Due to his battle with the Ice Queen, Robert’s condition was beyond words. His left arm was frozen to the point where it had no strength at all, and he had many wounds.
“Heheeng! Brother Robert, why don’t you step down from the second person position? I’ll be the second person in the future.”
Illya was the one who was in the best condition. Her opponent was an aqua girl, and because of the commonality of being a dark knight, the two fought more easily than the others. In the end, though, he defeated Aquagirl.
The three siblings of the godmother had their backs to each other and had a conversation.
They too were keenly aware that they had already been defeated. It is also true that if the battle ends like this and the heroes arrest us, we will never see each other again.
It wasn’t that he had committed any other crime, but that it was a direct attack on the Hero Association. Not only the Hero Association, but also political and business figures in the Dark City will deal with this issue heavily. There was a high possibility that he would not see the light of day for the rest of his life, locked in an alcove deep underground.
That’s why the three siblings were talking a lot now.
“Give up now, Robert. You guys lost.”
“You’re really strong. Maybe even stronger than your mother. I knew you were strong, but I didn’t expect you to be this strong.”
When the battle was over, the Ice Queen came forward and invited them to surrender once more. Robert couldn’t help but admire the appearance of such an ice queen.
Unlike herself, who was exhausted as if she would collapse if she made a mistake, the Ice Queen stood still. She, of course, was hurt a lot here and there, but compared to Robert, she was in pretty good shape.
Robert instinctively realized. He knows he’s not on the same level as the Ice Queen. That she is above herself.
‘… No, I broke down her wall.’
Clearly, even at the start of the battle, the Ice Queen was on the same level as Robert. However, she grew rapidly in a dense battle with him. As if her clogged blood had been pierced, the Ice Queen grew rapidly.
Thanks to this, he was injured far more than expected, and he was unable to defeat the Ice Queen.
“Surrender…”
In the absence of his mother, Robert was the head of the Floen family. He asked his brothers and sisters.
“Instead, there are conditions.”
“Conditions…?”
“Brother?”
“Brother?”
“… Mr. Robert?”
When he did not refuse at once and said that there were conditions, not only the Ice Queen who offered to surrender, but also Max, Illya, and the Floen Family executives who were still holding out all looked at Robert.
“This was all done by me. So I want you to finish it with one.”
The head of the household is responsible for the family.
Robert wanted to protect his younger brothers and his family.
Of course, it wouldn’t be easy because it was such a big case, but I didn’t know if it would be possible if it was the Ice Queen, one of the important figures in Dark City.
“Brother! What kind of crazy bullshit is that!”
“Brother! Are you crazy?! Fuck! Ice Queen! What if you hit your head so hard?!”
Of course, his family couldn’t accept that. Max and Ilya shouted on either side of Robert.
“Is it possible Ice Queen?”
“…”
Whether the two of them did it or not, Robert was only looking at the Ice Queen. After thinking for a while, the Ice Queen opened her mouth.
“If you really want to surrender…”
“Hey! Now the festival is heating up, but it’s no fun if it’s over already!”
Then, someone interrupted the Ice Queen and intervened.
“What, what are those guys?”
“Isn’t that guy… The Regent?”
The expressions of the heroes who looked in the direction of the sound darkened.
It was because the bike army appeared with a loud roar. The man at the forefront was S-class Villain Regent.
If the Regent had only led his subordinates, the heroes’ expressions wouldn’t have gotten so bad. Although they say they are very tired and injured, it is because there are still many S-class heroes left here.
“Finally, I can bring down the Hero Association with my own hands.”
“Floen family… I will not forget your noble sacrifice. Giggling!”
“But why isn’t this Death Rose coming?”
Next to Regent were the same S-class villains Destroyer, Dark Falcon, Black Mamba, and Leviathan.
“These ruined babies! I dare to keep me in such a fucking place!”
“Keu, keuheuhe… Let’s kill… Let’s kill all the heroes… Hehe!”
“Aquagirl! Aquagirl, where are you! Fuck bitch, let’s get together again! This time, I’ll fuck your ass!”
On the other side, people dressed in prison uniforms were walking with a ferocious spirit. The heroes who confirmed their faces were astonished.
“Boogeyman, Hero Killer, Silence… How are those guys!”
“… I can’t believe it! The Villain camp has been captured!”
Even the villains who should have been in the villain camp were with them. At that moment, the thought of having been attacked flashed in the minds of the heroes.
The Floen family’s attack on the Hero Association was a decoy. Bait for concentrating the Hero Association’s power here.
In the meantime, the villain camp where the heinous villains captured by the heroes shed blood and sweat are confined. What they are really aiming for is the villain camp, not the Hero Association.
“…Was it something like this, Robert? To focus our forces here… Um?”
“…”
The Ice Queen, speaking to Robert, noticed that his face was as stiff as her own, and he realized that something was wrong.
“What are those bastards?”
“Brother. Those bastards… Aren’t they the bastards who called their mother for a meeting?”
It wasn’t just Robert who was taken aback. Max, Illya, and even the executives of the Ploen family. Everyone was bewildered.
‘… No way?’
The Floen family… Was taken advantage of?
‘Come to think of it…’
Robert said it was revenge. What will they have to get revenge on the Hero Association? Of course, it was a revenge battle between Godmother and Speed Road, who had been attacked by unknown enemies a while ago.
Of course, the Hero Association did not attack the godmother and the speedlord. So the Ice Queen realized that Robert was seriously misunderstanding something. She tried to clear up the misunderstanding, but Robert hadn’t had time to clear it up because he was so savage.
‘Damn.’
The Ice Queen squeezed her eyes shut.
In the end, the Floen family was only used by them. In addition, the Hero Association’s power was consumed considerably while dealing with the Ploen family. Everyone is tired and injured.
The thought that perhaps the Hero Association might collapse here passed through the Ice Queen’s mind.
‘… No, that doesn’t happen.’
The Ice Queen made up her mind.
She is the proud president of the Hero Association.
He is a hero representing all heroes.
I will stop them no matter what, even if it means losing my life here. I will stop them and protect the Hero Association and the citizens of Dark City.
Because that’s what a hero is.
“… Ah.”
Suddenly she remembered her memories of her past. Before she fell in love with the Dark Knight, her memories of when she faced each other as heroes and villains.
‘There is a line divided into two branches. There are five people and one person tied to each track. You’re off the tracks and you’ve got a switch in your hand. And now the train is running at high speed. If we keep going like this, five people will be crushed to death by the train. Would you press the switch in that situation?’
Then she asked the Dark Knight about her justice, and he asked himself this question.
‘I couldn’t decide who to save in the end.’
She couldn’t decide who to save. She decided exactly who to save, but he kept adding new terms and conditions, resulting in no one to choose.
The Dark Knight said this to himself who couldn’t answer.
He said he would save everyone.
That’s your own definition.
In fact, there was no right answer to the problem.
What the Dark Knight wanted to say in that question and answer was not to entrust justice to others. Justice is what he establishes through constant agony over and over again.
The words he said then were still deeply embedded in the Ice Queen’s heart.
That’s how the ice queen gave justice.
‘I will save everyone.’
Like the Dark Knight, who said that saving everyone is her justice, the Ice Queen vowed to save her colleagues, the Ploen family who fell into a trap, and the citizens they had to protect.
That was the definition of Ice Queen.
“…”
“Tongue, president of the Association…”
“Ice Queen…”
The Ice Queen came forward.
She stood in front of everyone to save everyone.
