Chapter 190 Salvation Children Alliance
When the beast girl's eyes widened when she heard the words "Famous" and the rest of the young Titan members were quite moved. Even the ravens, who had always shown a cold image, could not help but show their expectant eyes.
The Teen Titans are a team of fringe superheroes with a very poor personality. They are not very popular in Tiaotiao City. Tiaotiao City people often complain about why their city's superhero team is composed of a group of children. Not to mention the orc rescue team that perfectly completes the rescue mission, these children are much worse than the adult superheroes of the Justice League.
Although the rescue of Justice League superheroes are flawed, they are at least more mature and steady, and they are more thoughtful in the rescue. The teenage superheroes of the Teen Titans really rely on their interest to save people. Because of impulsiveness or recklessness, they make mistakes very high, and occasionally make stupid in action and completely mess up the task.
Although their messed-up mission did not result in casualties among citizens, it caused tens of millions of dollars in property damage. If the Wayne Group had not helped compensate, the angry citizens would have driven this team of naughty kids superheroes out of Tiaotiao City.
When Damian began to deploy an orc rescue team in Quan Hope Country, the Justice League business was stolen, not to mention a third-rate fringe team like the Young Titan. Xinghuo said before that they could not even eat, which was not an exaggeration. Because without Wayne Group helping to compensate citizens for property losses, the team's account was almost lost and still owed a lot of damage repair fees.
Damian's business war against Wayne Group has greatly affected the daily lives of the superheroes in Hope Country. The most important thing is that the superheroes destroyed the people's property during the rescue mission. Without the Batman Fund to compensate, the heroes had to pay for it out of their own pockets.
Superheroes usually hide their identities and live a normal life. The Flash is a judicial appraiser and Superman is a reporter. Shazam is simply a poor student. Their salary and pocket money are only between one hundred and a few thousand dollars a month. When performing rescue missions, they randomly smash a car with a value ranging from tens of thousands to millions of dollars.
In the Hope Country, personal property is protected by law and is sacred and inviolable. Even if a superhero smashes it to save people, he can claim compensation through civil litigation. From the legal perspective of the Hope Country, the act of a violator is actually not encouraged at all. Even if an ordinary person who acts as a hero is regarded as killing a criminal and saving his life, he may be sued by the criminal's family to file a huge alimony for compensation.
The earth of the DC Universe has not issued a strange legal clause that "superheroes can easily smash citizens' finances without having to accompany them". If the Wayne Group had not paid for the superheroes, they would have been able to pay for them long ago that they could not even afford to wear red underwear.
Wayne Group's stock price fell sharply by the Bredro Group's golden bullet offensive. It was hovering on the brink of bankruptcy. It was still difficult to protect itself. Employees' salaries were almost impossible to pay, and there was no spare money to allocate to the superheroes. So the Justice League has fallen into a vicious cycle. Even if some superheroes walk on the street and see the crime scene, they must first consider whether this rescue will cause property damage and they will lose money and they will be unable to afford tomorrow's breakfast.
The heroes who do not have to do anything in the martial arts world but do not lack money at least have the way to "rob the rich and help the poor" and rob the black-hearted rich people. However, the superheroes in the DC universe dare not attack the black-hearted capitalists of the Hope Country, and it is inevitable that they will be poor.
The Young Titans team has been very embarrassed during this period, and their popularity has even dropped to the bottom. At that time, they wanted to line up to lick up to lick it, but now even if they want to lick it, no fans are willing to accept it.
Therefore, the word "Famous" is as attractive to them as catnip is as attractive to cats and cheese is as strong as mice.
"What kind of famous will it be like?" The beast girl held her hands together, leaned her head and asked with her eyes brightly: "Will we become famous all over the world? Being famous like Superman and Batman? Walking on the street, there will be many fans coming to sign and ask for photos?"
"Look at your ambition! What is a mere earth?"
Damian shook his finger disdainfully: "What I mean by making a name for a thousand people means that all intelligent lives in the universe will be admired by your achievements! It is not just an earth, but the entire universe, not just a parallel universe, but a multi-parallel universe, an infinite number of worlds, an infinite number of earths, and an infinite number of dimensions will praise your hero's name, because if you lack your bloody battle, darkness will cover everything, and the master of the evil universe will rule everything with infinite fear!"
"Really or not?" Blue Beetle said in disbelief: "But how could we, the young teenagers, defeat such a powerful existence?"
Xinghuo also tilted his head and said hesitantly: "Yes, Damian, if the devil you mentioned is really that powerful, why don't you go to Justice League Superman, Flash, Batman, Wonder Woman and others for help, and come to us teenage superheroes who are far less powerful and experienced than theirs?"
Damian said with a serious expression: "I came to you because you have excellent qualities that middle-aged and elderly superheroes do not have, and this quality is the weapon to restrain the devil."
The young Titans looked at each other, not understanding what excellent qualities Damian was talking about. In their opinion, they didn't seem to have any advantages that they could be better than the superheroes of the Justice League.
"Uh..." the beast girl asked in a low voice: "Damian, can you give me a hint, what do you like about us?"
"Courage!"
Damian said naturally: "A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Although you have shallow experience, inferior strength, and not safe enough, you have the unique spirit of young people, that is, the so-called "courage". Perhaps in the eyes of middle-aged and elderly superheroes, your courage is just impulsive and reckless, but in my opinion, it is extremely sharp, much better than those old-fashioned uncles and aunts who always look at each other!"
"Damian, don't you think that our youth and ignorance are easily inciting us, are you?" Raven frowned and said, "As a black magic expert, I have read all the devil's books and have never heard of any demon king who is afraid of the courage of young people."
"Oh?" Damian raised his eyebrows and turned his eyes, "Have you read the legend of Barbatos in the classics?"
When the Raven heard the name, he was stunned and said tremblingly: "Babatos, the god of darkness! Oh my God, is it the dimension he is about to invade us? If it is him, we have no chance of winning. Only by escaping from this dimension and hiding in the universe that he has not yet touched can we save our lives."
"The source of Barbatos's power is 'fear', and the one that fights fear is undoubtedly 'courage'. Fear comes from the unknown, and you are ignorant people fearless. When encountering mysterious things you don't understand, you will not be afraid but will charge. Wouldn't it be the nemesis of the Demon King of Fear?"
Damian said seriously: "Courage is the undestroyed quality of young superheroes compared to those middle-aged and elderly superheroes. Your courage is not mixed with any bleak past, no need to prove it with a miserable life or noble background, nor do you need to be tempered and alert yourself at all times to avoid being smoothed by a bad life. When encountering things, you will not think twice about the pros and cons and rely entirely on the impulse of youth. This is the purest essence of original courage. Only by gathering brave young people like you can we have the chance to defeat Barbatos!"
The young Titans members felt that Damian's words seemed to make some sense. Even the Raven, who knew Babatos' identity, was thinking about it. It was difficult to tell whether Damian was talking nonsense.
Of course Damian was talking nonsense, otherwise how could he fool these half-grown children into working hard for him?
He took advantage of the fact that several teenagers had not had time to think deeply, and quickly urged: "Don't hesitate. There are signs of dark multiverse invasion in our universe. If you are still at a loss, you will soon fall into panic. Your fear has become the energy to nourish and strengthen Babatos! Everyone, pick up your mobile phone, search through your friend's address book, and contact your teenage superhero friends. We teenagers must unite and form a saving children alliance with the power of "courage" as the fulcrum!"
