American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander

"Uh..."

Listening to Valerie's familiar words, Donton couldn't help but narrow his eyes and smiled.

"The hovercraft is not a private plane, but you are lucky. The Holy Sword is indeed luxurious and it is automatic, so most of the cab space is vacated and a small bathtub is installed~

But..."

Speaking of this, Donton glanced at Valerie, whose belly was covered with blood, and continued.

"But you are quite familiar~"

"Haha!"

Hearing Donton's words, Valerie smiled generously, and then patted Donton's shoulder without hesitation.

"When a big shot like you suddenly comes to me, I can't resist no matter what you want to do.

Even if you take off my arms and legs and sell them on the black market, I might have to take them off myself!

So do whatever you want, I'll let you do whatever you want.

But if you really want me to die, I should at least take a bath before I die, right?

Damn, the water bill in New Orleans is damn high!"

At this point, Valerie also noticed Donton's gaze, so she rubbed her belly and rubbed the blood on it.

Then, she looked around, then looked up at the hovercraft and smiled.

"Anything else? If not, I'm going to take a shower and take a look at the holy sword!

How did you get that thing? Did you rob it? I remember there were only a few in Night City, right?"

"Ha, Rayfield Group rushed to deliver it."

"That's right, you're such a pervert, no one wants to mess with you.

As for the next step, we're going to take out Q to fight Arasaka, right? I haven't left America yet, tsk tsk~"

While smacking her lips, Valerie took off following Donton's movements and floated to the hovercraft.

After landing, she glanced at the group of people and then laughed.

"Haha, there are both men and women. I thought there would be a lot of slutty women in your car.

There are quite a few women, but is there something wrong with your aesthetics?

Forget about the white-haired one over there, she looks pretty good, but what's the situation with this pink dwarf and that old woman who looks like she's in her 40s?

Why, you just prefer this one, and you have to include old, middle-aged and young people..."

"Wait, what dwarf are you talking about? Are you talking about me?!!"

Hearing Valerie's words, Rebecca responded immediately.

"You actually called me short..."

"Rebecca!"

Before Rebecca could raise her gun, Lucy quickly stopped her and then advised her in her ear.

"There's no need to be angry. After all, she doesn't even know Roger, and you can tell she's not very knowledgeable!"

"Roger?"

Hearing this, Valerie glanced suspiciously at the unhappy old woman.

"You are Rogge, the queen of the next life?

Fuck, it's you. Before I left Night City, I thought about following you, but a big shot like you wouldn't notice me.

But now it seems that it would be better to find a way to stay in Night City. At least I can see the big event a while ago in person."

As Valerie said, she approached Rogge in a familiar way and put her arm around Rogge's shoulders.

Although she was very generous at first, she was not so familiar.

As for now, she has really let it go.

When she saw Downton, she even thought of the epitaph.

Although it is still unclear why she was found by a big shot like Downton, there are only a few results.

Either death or better than before, so whatever~

Looking at his shoulder being put around by Valerie, Rogge sneered and asked softly.

"Don't you want to take a shower? Go ahead. Don't bother me here. We are not familiar with each other."

"It's easy to get acquainted with each other, Sister Rogge. From the looks of things now, we will work together in the future.

But I'm still very curious, why did you find me? I'm just a nobody on the street?"

Valerie responded, looking at Donton in confusion.

Facing Valerie's eyes, Donton sat down in his seat and lit a cigarette, smoking and laughing.

"Because I want to!"

Donton flicked the ash and continued.

"Even if it's a pile of shit, I can paste it on the wall, not to mention you."

"Tsk~"

Valerie waved her hand in boredom, then ran to the cockpit, closed the door, and took a shower happily.

At the same time, in the Arasaka headquarters.

A spaceship heading to the lunar space station is waiting to take off, and the Arasaka family is now in a quarrel.

Arasaka Yorinobu looked at Arasaka Saburo who was being pushed in a wheelchair by Takemura, and threw the cigarette in his mouth next to Saburo's wheelchair with disdain.

With the splash of sparks, Arasaka Yorinobu sneered.

"Saburō, you always say you are a warrior!

What happened? Haha, after Downton appeared, you, a warrior, immediately decided to run away?

Fuck you, I knew you were a coward, even if your fate was already determined, you still didn't dare to die!

But do you think you can escape from Downton by running to the moon?

Don't think about it, haha, because he is not as easy to avoid as the god of death!

Believe me, he will bring you back, and then, as he said, throw your head into the toilet and use it as a fucking ornament!

It's a pity that I also have the despicable surname Arasaka, and I'm afraid I will die in his hands.

Otherwise, if I can survive by chance, I will definitely patronize you, you old immortal! "

"Yorinobu-sama!!!"

Just when Yorinobu said this, Takemura finally couldn't help it anymore. He looked at Arasaka Yorinobu with an angry face, but then he was stared at by Arasaka Yorinobu's bodyguard Naoto.

On the side, Oda, Arasaka Hanako's bodyguard, reached out and gently pulled Takemura's arm.

At the same time, Saburo Arasaka, who had already taken care of his legs in the wheelchair, shook his head with a deep look.

"Why……"

He sighed and then said to Zhucun.

"Takemura, that's enough, take me to the spaceship.

Even if a wise man encounters a sudden disaster, he will find a new path and hope.

The Arasaka family name will not end at this moment. I will lead a valuable future and rise again from the space station on the moon!

As for Yorinobu, since he is willing to stay and be a warrior who faces the dragon, let him stay.

Yori nobu, when you are swallowed up by the dragon's fire, be sure not to pray to me.

From now on, I no longer have a son like you. "

After finishing his words, Saburo Arasaka patted the armrest of the floating wheelchair calmly, and the wheelchair immediately led Takemura toward the spacecraft.

Takemura pursed his lips and held the back of the wheelchair tightly.

As a samurai, Lord Saburo is his master and honor, and he is willing to die for Lord Saburo unconditionally!

In the past, he was just a kid living in the slums.

Not enough to eat or warm to wear, even if my mother worked very hard to hang out among countless men, she could only earn Weibo's income to barely support him.

After his mother was beaten to death by a guest, the sky in Zhucun collapsed. At that time, he had already decided that if anyone could bring him hope, then he would give everything for that person!

Until he was sent to the nursery, and then the nursery was bought by the Arasaka Group.

That year, the Arasaka Group had just achieved its current status and became the largest leading company in the world.

It was also that year that Arasaka increased its investment at all levels, and nearly one-third of the time became Arasaka's property.

In this way, Takemura, who was only eight years old at the time, became a member of Arasaka Enterprises. However, at that time, Takemura was just a dead soldier and was at the bottom of Arasaka Group.

But even so, Takemura finally broke away from the carefree life of Arasaka because of Arasaka, and regarded Arasaka as the only beneficiary.

As for the future, Takemura grew up all the way, and finally relied on his own talent and hard work to become one of the top 100 beings in the Arasaka Group's armed system.

He is like an ancient ninja. Even if he does not have a prosthetic body like all the trained personnel, he can kill dozens of armed men with prosthetic bodies in a row.

When Takemura was at his peak, his personal strength could be ranked in the top ten in Arasaka's ninja system, probably around eighth to fifth.

It was also the year when he was at his peak. Saburo Arasaka chose personal bodyguards, so Takemura stood among the one hundred best people in the Arasaka armed group, allowing Saburo to choose.

At that time, there were only a dozen dead warrior ninjas standing with him, and the rest were all members of the martial arts family with big surnames.

Takemura didn't think he had any hope of being selected, but even if he wasn't selected, he would still devote his life to the Arasaka Group.

But, in those hundred pairs of bright eyes, Saburo Arasaka chose him at a glance!

In this way, Takemura became the number one personal bodyguard around Saburo Arasaka. He did not have a prosthetic body installed at that time, but he also installed Arasaka's top-notch armed and protective prosthetics, becoming a veritable killing machine.

Except for Adam Heavy Hammer and a few others, Takemura is one of the highest armed forces of the Arasaka Group!

And his status as a personal bodyguard also allowed him to obtain the highest-ranking super status besides Arasaka's direct members and many members of the big family on the board of directors!

From Takemura's perspective, Saburo Arasaka did give him everything.

So now, while pushing Saburo onto the spaceship with firm eyes, he desperately suppressed the anger in his heart towards Arasaka Yorinobu.

As if feeling the fire in Takemura's heart, Saburo Arasaka sighed softly, then raised his arm and patted Takemura's hand.

Takemura was stunned for a moment, then his heart warmed up, and he quickly said to Saburo.

"Sir Saburo, we will definitely rise again on the moon. Arasaka's honor will never be cut off by an inexplicable god, never!"

"Yes, I deeply believe that, Takemura."

Saburo Arasaka responded softly.

"It's because of the look in your eyes that I see the hope of the Arasaka Group, Takemura.

My safety will be completely left to you from now on! "

"It's a great honor for Takemura, Master Saburo!"

Takemura nodded heavily, then pushed Saburo up and walked into the spacecraft resolutely.

Looking at his father's back, Hanako Arasaka took a deep breath, and then looked at his personal bodyguard Oda.

Facing Hua Zi's eyes, Xiaotian lowered his head and spoke softly.

"Don't worry, Miss. While you are away, I will follow your and Saburo-sama's orders and work hard to maintain the position of the Arasaka Group!"

After the words fell, Oda looked at Arasaka Yorinobu angrily.

At the same time, Huazi sighed leisurely.

As the highest force on the lunar space station, his father thought that Takemura was enough, and that place was not a place for fighting.

So no matter himself, Michiko and others, they could not bring their own bodyguards, let alone weapons, and even dangerous prostheses were shut down before boarding the spacecraft.

In some ways, Saburo Arasaka was more conservative than the ancient emperors.

But so what, should I stay in the Q like Lai Xuan?

That was destined to be a dead end, because intelligence showed that Downton had already set off to live a happy life!

With regret in his heart, Huazi said goodbye to Oda, and Michiko also said goodbye to her bodyguard Shinji.

The bigwigs gradually walked into the spacecraft, and then, under the gaze of countless middle and high-level people and Lai Xuan, they rushed all the way to the clouds until they disappeared.

Lai Xuan carried the wine with boredom and sneered at the remaining people.

Looking at it, Lai Xuan suddenly brought the wine to his mouth, and then said to his men.

"The old guy just left, and he actually left a bunch of burdens behind.

If it weren't for this bunch of rubbish, I would have to blow up the damn Arasaka before Downton arrived!

As for now, you Saburo dogs can do whatever you want.

Attack my forces, kill my men, it's up to you, because I don't care about them anymore!

I will wait here, waiting for the gods who will sanction and end the corporate era to appear!

The world has been longing for the end of the enterprise for too long. The passionate music of Johnny Silverhand's generation is still in front of us, but the world has not changed even after fifty years. Change!

I thought I was the one who had the ability to change all that, but Saburo made me sick, I couldn't do it!

In that case, let someone who can do it do it!

Go away, all of you, I'm going to the rooftop!

I want to be the first to see that god, and I want to be the first to pray to him, just begging him to let me die a little later!

I want to see Arasaka being destroyed by God's wrath with my own eyes, and I want to see Saburo being brought back from the damn moon by God with my own eyes!

I want to see his despair, I want to witness his collapse, hahahaha!!!"

Amidst the laughter, Arasaka Yorinobu walked to the rooftop by himself, carrying a bottle of wine.

After he left the top floor room, Oda and a series of people immediately glared at Arasaka Yorinobu's security personnel, and those people glared back at Oda without courtesy.

Arasaka Yorinobu was a rebellious guy. Many years ago, he even escaped from the Arasaka Group, locked up his prosthetic body, ran to the streets to join the gang, and even became the third person in the gang.

Most of his current subordinates were his subordinates when he was in the gang.

In any case, Lai Xuan is also a charming person, and there are also many people willing to die for him.

But in the end, the battle did not start after all.

Because before the judgment comes, all internal struggles are unnecessary.

Just like that, three hours later.

Looking at the Holy Sword hovercraft floating in the sky, Lai Xuan, who was lying drunk on the rooftop, finally showed a bright smile.

His God has come!
