Recruiting (3/3)

{MC POV}

"Wow, he did a number on him," I said while looking at the former host of the Helmet Of Fate. Kent Nelson's corpse was before us, he died only 2 days ago. The guy was killed by Klarion who went on to entrap the Helment within the tower of Fate to ensure no one could put it on.

"Do you not show no honor to the dead?" Wonder Woman asked while throwing me a disapproval glare, she already had her impression of me dropping with how I was treating her.

"I see death differently from others. So, what do you need to leave this tower and join the Justice League?" I asked while looking at the helmet which floated above the corpse.

"Before that, I think you should explain to everyone what you're doing, or else the Justice League will break apart," Nabu said sensing how I didn't have the hearts of the others. At his words, everyone looked towards me, looking for answers.

"I'm Escanor Lionheart, I'm currently the leader of the Justice League and the man who currently stands above the law. Anyway, as for my job, it's to get you all ready to face the dangers that will be coming to Earth. Darkseid and Klarion are nothing compared to what I'm going to get you ready for." I said lightly,

"As for what the enemy is, I will tell you when it's time. Until then, all I can do is train you all, increase our numbers, and stand tall to face what would be coming." I said to which Batman frowned, wanting to know the information.

"You have to at least tell us something," Flash said trying to be the voice of reason here, at those words, I paused a moment before nodding.

"You speak the truth, the being is pretty much the embodiment of Darkness. So, we just have to be the light to fight it. Honestly, you guys have nothing to worry about. If we play smart, he would be easier to handle compared to Darkseid... but if we fail, he could erase the multiverse." I said making everyone's eyebrow raise in shock.

"How do we play smart?" Batman asked wanting to get as much as he could.

"We win, everything that comes, so long as we win, then we would defeat the darkness. So long as we don't lose, we win. We can't lose, be it against the likes of the Joker, Lex, Zoom, or whoever you guys would fight, then we would win. They would unite as he would draw them together, so we need to stay together. They would grow more ruthless and dark, so we would have to grow more righteous and bright" I said to which everyone went quiet as they looked at each other.

"You know more than I expected... no, you seem to know more than me," Nabu said in shock.

"I know a thing or two about the multiverse, and for this reason, I know who is needed to join the Justice League... for this reason, I know sooner or later, we would need to unite with your parallel version to fight the thing, for they can't lose as well, but we can't help others when we need help," I said calmly,

"... I will trust you for now, so how can we free you?" Batman asked turning his attention to the helmet

"Escanor should already have the means to do that." The helmet said to which I raised my eyebrow, wondering just what he knew about me.

"Bring him back to life... no, he doesn't even need to be alive, a soulless vessel would do." The helmet said to which I narrowed my eyes.

"How did you know I can bring back the dead?" I asked to which Nabu snorted lightly.

"You might not be the strongest sorcerer, but I know you have reached godly levels in martial arts, you also reached godly levels in magic, a rare known fact about you. How else could you easily find me?" Nabu asked with a mocking tone to his voice, and at his words, I scratched my chin for some time, before I just snapped my finger.

The corpse disappeared into dust, just to reform before everyone's shocked eyes to show the sight of a handsome teen in his 20s. Nabu was also shocked seeing the sight of Kent's younger body lying on the ground, with a nice pair of clothing.

"This doesn't seem right," Superman said with a frown,

"Nabu is the lord of Order, like how the Lord Of Chaos needs his cat to affect our world, Nabu needs someone to wear that helmet. The stronger the person's affinity towards magic, the more power Nabu could show within this world. Nabu also refuses to let the user of the helmet go, so they would have to sacrifice their life to become a puppet... and" I said while snapping my finger, summoning the soul of Kent Nelson.

"And you wouldn't mind right?" I asked to which Kent Nelson nodded while looking at all of us, 

"I have fought against chaos for the past 74 years. I don't mind at all allowing Nabu to have my soulless body while I move on to the afterlife to be with my wife. What you would all face would be nothing compared to what I faced... I wish you luck." Kent said before he was allowed to move on to the afterlife.

"You are as I expected, the rules of life and death are nothing before you," Nabu said while he went on to take over Nabu's body, and went on to stand before me, glaring at me, ready to fight me.

"You are an existence that goes against Order, I should kill you will you stand Escanor?" Nabu said while glaring at me. I smirked at Nabu.

"If killing was enough to end me... then, I wouldn't be overpowered," I said with a smile, before turning to look at everyone there while a circle grew from my feet, swallowing me in a light.

"I will begin training you all later, you are all too weak to face the dangers that are to come," I said before I teleported away, appearing before a lighthouse.

"... Are we going to overlook the fact he could bring back the dead with a snap of his finger?" Green Lantern said seeing how everyone seemingly overlooked that fact. That was a corpse of 2 days old, which made this even more impressive, since even for someone like Anos, bringing someone to life who has died long ago without tricks would have been troublesome... yet I did it with a snap of the finger.

"For now we should trust him, if what he says is true, the world needs the Justice League," Batman said while stepping out of the Tower Of Fate.

"Well, I will go join Escanor, he is going to recruit more members to the Justice League I think we should all join in," Cyborg said after finding where Escanor was, everyone looked at each other, before nodding wanting to see the next person.

A Boom Tube opened, and they arrived outside of a bar. They looked inside where they found me currently having drinks with a blonde hair man.

"What do you think?" I asked Arthur Carry who was currently looking at the beer on the table, trying to understand everything I said.

"You expect me to believe that I'm half Atlantean?" Arthur asked to which I laughed lightly,

"Is that hard to believe? Let's see, aliens attacked Earth, we have an alien protecting Earth, a demi-god, a guy capable of running faster than sound, and the fact you have shown superhuman capability all your life with unmatched levels of swimming capability... and you find it hard to think you might be half Atlantean?" I asked leaving Arthur speechless before he laughed as I had a point.

"Okay... so I'm the prince of Atlantis? Prove it." Arthur said to which I nodded lightly before having him finish his drink. Arthur did just that, and as soon as he was done, I hit him lightly in the back of his head, knocking him out. I picked him up, and under everyone's shocked eyes, walked towards the ocean.

"What are you going?" Flash asked in shock seeing me walking out of the bar, I looked at the group for some time, lost in thought.

"It would do you guys some good to stay together, at least while we get the core members of the Justice League. Anyways, this is the next in line to the throne of Atlantis. In some universe, when he and Wonder Woman don't join the Justice League, they get married, one of them cheats, they go to war, and the world is doomed or something. I don't remember the whole plot. But Wonder Woman and this guy is a must join to avoid their world going to war or something like that." I said calmly, leaving them speechless.

"Also, I got the news that the king of Atlantis is dead, so a new king would be needed. From my knowledge, Arthur's brother either hates the people above water or would be manipulated into attacking the surface world or something. There is a lot, but I will find that out once I meet him." I said with a bored look while walking towards the sea

"Since this is a Justice League matter, we should come," Batman said, not liking that there was such danger he didn't know of existing out there. At those words, I snapped my finger giving them all the ability to breathe underwater and protection from the deep underwater pressure.

So, with that, we left, although everyone couldn't help but start speaking out as Arthur began drowning, since I didn't help him at all.

"He hasn't awakened his Atlantean genetic, this will help him awaken them," I said and before their shocked gazes, Arthur began growing gills on his neck. With that, I woke up Arthur who was confused for a moment but was shocked to find himself breathing underwater. He touched his neck, where he felt himself breathing.

"Well, with that done let's just appear before the Queen," I said lightly, a huge circle of light covered all of us before we were teleported before a throne, which currently had a beautiful blonde-haired woman sitting on a throne, lost in thought. But she was shocked to see us just appearing, the guards all moved to stop us, along with the Queen's seemly guard. A beautiful red-haired woman.

"You all don't need to see this," I said while snapping my finger, pausing time on everyone but us, the redhead and the queen. The Redhead shot compressed water towards me, which I just teleported elsewhere, followed by me casting an anti-magic spell on her, leaving her unable to use magic at all, which left her horrified while looking at me. I smirked at her, but my attention was drawn over to the queen,

"What is the meaning of this!" The Queen said while floating into the air, her trident covered with lightning as she was ready for battle. Superman and the others went on guard, but I simply pointed toward Arthur, shocking the queen.

"Mother?" Arthur said causing the Queen's eyes to widen seeing her son...
