Damian's eyes widened, just about to cry out in terror, but Aisha strongly shook her head and pressed his shoulder, saying, "I can distinguish, I am consuming his energy, not yours."
Damian pondered and locked eyes with Aisha, both of them revealing a somewhat wicked smile. Damian made a 'wait' gesture to Aisha and continued in his mind.
"Alright, what do I need to do to merge with you?"
"Hold onto the container, I will enter your soul ..."
"Come on."
Damian held the container tightly in his palm, soon he felt his soul start to tremble. Just then, Aisha launched herself onto him, pinning down his shoulders.
In the next instant, the fleeting apparition of a yellow monster with countless sharp teeth appeared, and with a "crack," Damian heard something being crushed, followed by a scream.
"Crack, crack, crack," several times, Damian did not feel anything unusual, but Aisha licked her lips satisfied. Suddenly Damian found the black diamond in his hand shattered.
"You really can eat?" Damian said in surprise.
But suddenly Aisha's face changed, like she had a bad stomach, a grimace appeared, and she shouted while clutching her stomach, "No, I can't digest it ... I'm going to vomit! Urgh!"
In an instant, a stream of pure energy returned to Damian's body; Damian heard another terrified scream, but Aisha seemed to not admit defeat, she gritted her teeth and shouted, "Impossible, it's obviously so tasty, don't move, I want to try again!"
Damian sat still in place. After a few more "crack" noises, Aisha started yelling again, finally covering her stomach and vomiting out loud; the mysterious energy returned to Damian's body once more.
"Stop! Quickly stop that little girl!!" Just as Aisha was about to try for the third time, the voice screamed in terror.
"Alright, alright, Aisha, stop trying. You probably can't digest it. Put away the blocks and go to sleep." Damian patted Aisha's back as he spoke.
Aisha sighed as if she was imitating maturity, seemingly regretful of not being able to eat the object, but instead of going to sleep, she sat beside the block box staring at Damian.
In his heart, Damian said to the voice, "Didn't you say you would give me powerful abilities? Where are they?"
Suddenly, a surge of energy flowed from Damian's chest into his limbs. Before he had the chance to control them, he found that this energy had been injected into his muscles.
He stood up, rolled his neck a bit, and writhed his wrists, finding that his muscle strength had increased quite a bit. The devilish boy moved his eyes in satisfaction, saying, "Indeed not bad, bring on more."
Another surge of energy, this time it strengthened Damian's leg muscles, allowing him to jump higher and run faster.
Just as Damian was about to ask for more, the voice, sounding a little weary, spoke up, "According to the contract, you have to do something for me."
"What contract?"
"You agreed for me to enter your soul, I will give you power, and if you still want more, you have to listen to your inner rage, and then go ..."
"I refuse." Damian said quite decisively.
"You ..."
"Even when Batman speaks, I don't listen. Who do you think you are?"
The mysterious voice again was taken aback, and then it said, "If you do not abide by the agreement, I will reclaim my power, and also you have to pay your soul as interest ..."
"Aisha! Try again!"
"No! Don't come over!!!"
"Crack, crack, crack...Urgh!"
"You ..."
"Again!"
"Crack, crack, crack ... Urgh!"
"Stop..."
"Again..."
"Don't come any closer!!"
A roar of anger rang in Damian's heart, and Damian said to it with a playful smile, "You dare to threaten me, Mr. Vomit?"
"Dammit, you lunatic! I will control your mind and soul, then make you undergo torment!"
"Aisha!"
"Don't!!!" The mysterious voice inhaled deeply and said, "Put me back, then throw me out! I don't want to be with you anymore!"
Damian held up the already broken black diamond in his hand and said, "Ah, this thing is already broken, it seems you can only stay with me ... come on, let's talk more about powerful abilities."
About half an hour later, Damian arrived at Thomas's bedroom. Thomas was still awake, and seeing Damian leading Aisha standing outside his room, the serious expression on his face immediately softened.
"Come in." He said gently.
Damian led Aisha into Thomas's bedroom, then held out his hand to show him the shards of the black diamond in his hand, and explained to him what he and Aisha had just encountered.
"You mean, the power in this thing can enhance your physique?"
Damian nodded and said, "I suspect it may also extend life, but now it certainly makes me more powerful."
Thomas was about to express his disagreement, but Damian pointed to Aisha and said, "Aisha can swallow this power but she can't digest it, they seem to be incompatible, but this mysterious power seems to be very afraid of it, I think we can take advantage of this."
"Just now, that mysterious voice told me that this is not its main body, but a fragment of it. A dark crystal sealing it was cut into a thousand pieces and is now scattered all over the Earth."
Aisha started shouting in excitement, pulling at Thomas's pant leg and saying, "Find them, get their power, beat them if they refuse!"
Thomas's eyes widened, wondering who Aisha learned this behavior from, but then he thought about it, there seemed to be a possibility to operate.
Damian slammed his fist into his other palm and said, "Yes, this bunch tends to pay upfront when controlling others to do things; we can just take the money and not work. If it wants to control me, just let Aisha beat it!"
"Grandpa! Want this! Wah wah wah! Wah wah!" Aisha shouted with joy.
Thomas picked up Aisha, patted her on the back, and said, "Be good and go to bed, I have a method to think of."
With that, he walked out of the room with Aisha and Damian, intending to send them back to their bedrooms. But at this time, the phone downstairs rang, and Alfred brought the phone to Thomas.
With Aisha in one arm and the phone in the other, Thomas listened to the voice of Wayne Enterprises' chief financial officer on the other end.
"Chairman, I just found a large sum of money transferred out of Wayne Enterprises' account. The memo reads 'BBC millionaires Wayne Enterprises exclusive sponsorship - Global search for mysterious black diamonds, you could be the next millionaire!' The payee is Bruce Wayne."
"Thomas...Thomas, calm down!"
