Chapter 121: Hercules’ Guide to Becoming a Disney Villain

"I am not in danger. I am the danger."

Walter White, (Breaking Bad)

<(Bruce Wayne POV)>

"Ah, it seems that the daughter is finally here to save her mother... I have to say, your mother has raised you quite well. Your beauty even exceeds hers... Are you sure she is not mine, Hippolyta? It would make a lot of sense if she were. Maybe, she got my godly charm and your... assets" Hercules mocked with a perverted grin as soon as he noticed Diana rushing in to save her mother.

"Silence villain. How dare you lay your hands on the Queen of Themyscira? You will suffer for this. I, the champion of Themyscira will make sure of it." The princess of the Amazons threatened as she brandished her sword against the demigod while quickly hugging her injured mother.

Hippolyta who was still conscious, gritted her teeth listening to Hercules' taunts but refrained from saying anything. There was pure disgust and hatred in her eyes for the Greek hero but the one emotion that was the most apparent was self-disgust. She looked like she was cursing herself for letting a situation like this even arise at all.

"Hmm? And who are you supposed to be? Some sort of dragon knight?" He curiously asked after noticing me landing behind Diana and her mother.

"At last, someone who actually understands the theme of this armor," I muttered to myself, almost happy that he had recognized my intent behind creating this design, but I remained serious on the outside as I looked at him straight in the eyes. "I am Vengeance."

"So, you are an agent of Nemesis, the God of Vengeance?" Hercules asked seriously while giving me another thorough look.

"... I thought you said your name is Bruce," Diana whispered while looking at me with an unhappy frown.

"So, you did lie after all. I knew that none of you men can be trusted." Even Hippolyta weakly added despite her critical state.

'Of course, they wouldn't understand the quote. What was I even thinking? Trying to act cool in front of a bunch of ancient Greeks. These are the same guys who thought that small cocks were better looking that bigger ones.' I sighed. "It means that I am the vengeance of these Amazons and everyone else who has suffered because of you, Hercules, and I have come to make you pay," I explained with an impassive face. "And yes, my name is Bruce. That is still very much my real name." I responded back to Diana.

"A prophecy? What type of prophecy? Can you say it? Maybe, we can get a clue from it or something." I curiously demanded to know.

Hearing my request, Hippolyta could not help but release a sigh as she nodded "Fine. Since we are going to die anyway, I might as well humor you. As much as I remember, it is supposed to go something like this,

In the ancient scrolls of Fate, it is writ,

That the traitor, the proud son of Zeus, shall meet

His end in battle, bathed in blood and sweat,

For only the avatar of war, a man-beast,

Who is born of the night, can end his earthly feat.

Thus, have spoken the gods, in whispers of the deep."

Hearing the prophecy, Diana could not help but click her tongue in annoyance. "A beast born of night and war; we don't have anyone like that on this island. We can't use the prophecy to our advantage. We will have to fight him directly. We have no other choice." She said while getting up from the ground.

"There is always a choice. And if we don't, then we have to make one... even if it is a very hard and very questionable choice to make." I muttered in response to Diana's words as I once again looked at Ares' helm quietly lying on the ground, almost like it was beckoning me to pick it up and try it on.

'Born of war... This is going to be a gamble but if it succeeds then this will change everything...'
