Chapter 6: A Calm Talk Part 2:

Watchtower

Earth Orbit

2 hours after the invasion

"5.390 million people dead, millions in public destruction, and world-wide panic and hysteria." Batman finishes his report as the members of the Justice League are sitting at their table discussing the aftermath of Darkseid. He then shifts his eyes towards Dante, who is happily enjoying a strawberry sundae.

"Yeah, that sucks" Dante shrugs while eating.

"Dick I-." Batman tries to say something but is interrupted as the cup Dante was holding breaks with his strength.

"DO NOT CALL ME THAT!" Dante speaks in a demonic and deep voice, making the heroes tense and expecting combat.

"That's not my name." Dante said, after taking a breath and holding his anger, that seeing the man that he once thought of as a father trying to talk to him, he may not be Dick Grayson anymore, but Dick is part of him, and Batman has hurt him in an unbelivable way.

"Can't we just skip to what really matters here?" Dante asks them, making Superman nod.

"What's happened to you?"" Superman asks Camly, trying to understand how Dick got such powers.

Dante sees that everybody in the Justice League is listening; Batman, who is the most interested, tries to hide it but is falling, and even the two magicians who are hiding in an invisibility spell are interesting.

"Ok, starting off, I am a Nephilm, scratch that I am more precisely a an Arch-Nephalem; I am half demon and half angel." Dante speaks to them like he is talking about the weather, shocking them, especially the ones who are Christians.

"My father is the legendary Dark Knight Sparda, who was an arch-demon, and my mother is Eva, was the Archangel of Mercy." Dante repeats what he already said with a bored look on his face and voice, ignoring the pained look Batman is sending to him as he calls another man father.

"Now many of you are thinking, 'Why didn't you see your powers before?' The answer to that is simple: they were bound, and because of that, I was nothing more than a human." Dante informs them that every hero is captured in his tale and is waiting for him to continue.

"Then how did you awaken your powers?" Wonder Woman asks curiously and cautiliously; she has experience dealing with magical and godly beings, and this man right over there dwarfs the power of her father Zeus, so she is a bit on edge.

Hearing her questions, Dante gave her a bit of a forced smile.

"Oh well, Batman over there slept with my girlfriend and impreganted her too." Dante said this while jerking his thumb in the direction of his ex-father.

Every single one of the leaguers had to do a double-take; they couldn't believe it. Some already knew this, but others who didn't know what the Batman has done was starting to connect the dots.

"And after I discovered that, my rage and sadness exploded, breaking my father's bindings and releasing my power." Dante ends his tale, making everybody shudder a little.

"So now you can ask your questions or whatever." Dante says he's not caring at all, summoning another strawberry sundae.

The leaguers have a sweat drop at this but steadie themselves.

"What are your intentions now?"" Superman asks warily.

"Go home and sleep," Dante says, shrugging.

Batman gets up from his seat, walks up to Dante, and stops right in front of him.

"Why did you break the code?" Batman asks, his voice pained and full of sorrow.

"huh." Dante is confused at what the man with breath-taking mommy and daddy issues is asking.

Batman grabs Dante by the shoulders roughly and slams him on the nearby wall.

"THE CODE!!." Batman screams like a madman, drawing a baffled look from his fellow heroes.

"YOU HAVE BECOME A KILLER! YOU HAVE THROWN EVERYTHING THAT I TAUGHT YOU ON THE MUD! YOU HA-." Whatever Batman was going to scream at Dante's face was interrupted by Dante punching him in the face, breaking Batman's cowl, and sending him flying away to the other side of the room.

Batman hits the wall before falling down and groaning in pain; his nose is broken and his mouth is full of blood.

"Shut the hell up!...Bitch" Dante says while giving Batman the middle finger.

The Justice League is at a loss; they just saw one of their own lose control, and then the same one was punched across the room.

Ok, Before any kind of bullshit can happen here, Constantine and Zatara come here." Dante calls out suprising the Justice League and the two magicians who were hiding under an invisibility spell.

Nothing happens

"Seriously, did you two think that a simple invisibility spell would work? I am really offended that you two think so little of me." Dante speaks with a fake, offended look.

And again, nothing happens.

irritating Dante

"Well, I did give them a chance to come out nicely." Dante says this while shrugging.

Dante then starts to glow red, and demonic energies engulf him and the whole room.

The Justice League felt the pressure and power crashing down on them, but no more than the magicians on the Watchtower, especially the two who were in the same room as him.

John Constantine and Zatanna Zatara suddenly appeared in the room, surprising some of them; others who were aware didn't show any surprise. They fall to their knees, clutching their stomachs, and then start to empty them on the floor.

Seeing that they happened, Dante powers down, and the red glow starts to dim, then stops completely.

"It's nice that you two finally decided to grace ours with your presence." Dante says this to them mockingly with an equally mocking smirk on his face, which they ignore as they are more occupied with vomiting.

"Calm down, everybody. I didn't come here to fight; I came to talk like the civilized people that we are." Dante says with a nonchalant tone that the Justice League is preparing to fight him.

The Justice League, who were on edge and were preparing to fight him, stopped for a second before calming themselves, but they were still on edge.

"Now that we are all here and all visible," Dante gives the two magicians a look as they start to compose themselves again.

"We can have a talk; I believe that the two magical experts can attest that I am not lying, am I right?"" Dante asks Zatanna, who is being helped by Constantine, who is glaring murderously at Dante.

"Yes, he speaks the truth. He is a Nephalem, and he is the son of Sparda and Eve." Zatanna confirms that she can still feel the sensations of Dante's power-light and Dark, Demonic and Angelic energy-as one.

"See, I am speaking the truth, so now that's out of the way, we can move on to the real important stuff." Dante sits back in his chair and kicks his feet up on the table, drawing looks from the leaguers, whom he kindly ignored.

"You guys can't control me, we all know that. I can take all of the heavy lifters in the league with one hand tight behind my back-". That draws some scoffs and disbelieving looks."-Just ask Darkseid." and that promptly shut up everyone.

"Speaking about Darkseid, I am aware that some of you want to give me to the police because I killed him and the others." Dante says that making the heroes tense is true; some wanted to bring him to justice, but seeing the power that he wielded made them think twice. "But I dare you all to find any court in the entire world who isn't corrupt to condem me because of his death, and if by some miracle you find one, I will just escape." Dante says, shrugging.

"But I am not a bad guy. Sure, my methods are different from yours, but I don't want to be your enemy. I think we all can accept that it is better to have me as an ally than an enemy." Dante says and some heroes agree in a way; he killed Darkseid and Kalibak, two gods with unbelievable powers and strength, and it will be good to have Dante on their side.

Some Heroes (cough Batman cough ), were completely opposed to Dante, some because he was unreliable, some because he was a killer, and others just because he was half demon.

"So in the spirit of friendliness, I give you this." Dante then summons from a red magical circle a black Bunisses card and throws it on the table.

The card flies around the room in a very cartoonistic way, stretching and turning in the air until it stops right in front of Superman. Superman picks up the card from the air and reads:

"𝔻𝕖𝕧𝕚𝕝 𝕄𝕒𝕪 C𝕣𝕪

𝕀𝕗 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕘𝕠𝕥 𝕒 𝕕𝕖𝕞𝕠𝕟 𝕡𝕣𝕠𝕓𝕝𝕖𝕞𝕤, 𝕘𝕚𝕧𝕖𝕤 𝕒 𝕔𝕒𝕝𝕝(𝕏𝕏𝕏)𝕏𝕏𝕏-𝕏𝕏𝕏𝕏

𝕎𝔼 𝔻𝕆N'𝕋 𝔻𝕆 P𝔸R𝕋𝕀𝔼𝕊"

The Leaguers are in shock at this

'Did he just do a merchant right now?'

"As you guys are the first ones, you guys have a 15% discount on any future job." Dante said while giving a thumbs up and a wolfish grin, again shocking the league at how he acted so carefree.

"I guess we are done here, so see y'all." Dante gives a two-finger salute and starts to walk away.

"Oh, mate, you stay right where you are!" Costanine said as he conjured a magical circle under Dante, trapping him.

"What now?!" Dante asks already done with the Alchoolic Magician.

"You think you have fooled ours; you might have fooled them, but not me; I know what your kind is capable of, demon." Constantine says angrily to Dante, who rolls his eyes at him.

"Ok, first of all, that's kind of rascist, and second, whatever you cooked in your elementary mind to think I am doing, I am not!" Dante says he is already tired of having to deal with the English jackass.

"You can't be trusted!" Constantine says this while glaring angrily at Dante, who returns with a bored look.

"John, stop it!" Zatanna screams at her boyfriend to stop the spell, but he doesn't listen.

"ZEE, HE IS TO DANGEROUS TO BE LEFT ALIVE!" Constantine screamed at her as the pressure and magic of the spell fell on everybody.

Constantine looked at the bored face of Dante with hate.

"I will send you back to where you came from, Demon!" Constantine screams at Dante, who looks absolutely bored and done with him.

Hearing that made Dante raise an eyebrow

"Gotham ?." Dante looks a bit confused at the Bum magician in why would he send him to Gotham, and that enrages Constantine as Dante just looks even more bored.

Constantine started to gather his magic and chant.

"Ab hoc plano te deleo, male creatura

mitto te ad gehennam

quo pertinent

Ab hoc plano te deleo, male creatura

mitto te ad gehennam

quo pertinent

Ab hoc plano te deleo, male creatura

mitto te ad gehennam

quo pertinent"

Translation:

(I banish you from this plane, you evil creature.

I send you back to hell

where you belong.)

A supernatural wind started going in the room; the heroes had to ground themselves to not go flying in the room; the whole watchtower was shaking.

The only two beings who were standing normally were Dante and Constantine.

"Ab hoc plano te deleo, male creatura

mitto te ad gehennam

QUO PERRINENT!!!!" Constanitine screamed, and a bright orange light engulfed Dante for a second, then he dissapeared.

Constantie fell to the ground in exasperation as the spell dissipated.

"JOHN, WHAT DID YOU DO?!?" Zatanna screams at her boyfriend (For now).

"What I had to Zee." Constantine told her, his tone with finality didn't do anything to calm the rage that his girlfriend was feeling.

"YOU INCONSQUENT ASSHOLE, YOU ALMOST KILLED US ALL!! What THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING OF DOING A SPELL LIKE THAT HERE?!"" Zatanna calls out her fallen boyfriend's stupidity.

Before Zatanna can continue tearing Constanitne a new one, they hear a sound that looks like wings flapping and thumping on the ground. They look and find Dante standing there unfazed and with a smirk on his face.

"Sup!" Every single hero, especially Constantine, has their jaws on the floor.

"HOW?!!" Ask a tired Constantine from the floor.

"Simple, As were you doing that spell that was going to destroy the watchtower so I used my powers to stabilize the tower and let you spell work like it should, Man you should really stop drinking." Dante explained to him, shocking everybody.

"then a I spent a couple of hours in hell. Time works differently there. I talked to some Demons and was exploring a bit. Then I discovered a very interesting thing about Hell. The throne of hell is empty since Lucifer had retired-." Dante says, shcoking the heroes, those who were Catholic felt the heart trying to go out from their throats. " Then I asked some demons why none of the dukes of hell had taken the throne, and they explained to me that only a celestial can be the King of Hell, aka an Angel. You guys can imagine their surprise when I revealed who I am." Dante tells them to enjoy the shocked looks, especially Constantine's.

"Yep, I am The new King of Hell." Dante says it with a smirk.

Every hero stops for a second, then turns their gaze at Constantine, who was glaring at Dante.

"Dude, I don't hate you for banishing me, but you almost killed everybody here, so you've got to pay !." Dante says before vanishing in a spectacular speed and appearing right in front of Constantine with The Yamato on his hands and thrusting right in the middle of Constantine chest.

Everybody is shocked by Dante's speed and action, and right when they are about to attack him, they see that Constantine is still alive but with a blue hue spreading on his skin.

The blue hue spread, covering all of Constantine's body, then dissipated. Dante took the sword out of Constantine's Chest and dissummoned it

Constantine fell to the ground, looking now even worse than he was.

"W-What have you d-done to me?" Constantine asked weakly, as he felt the weakest he had felt in his entire life.

"I Killed your magic." Dante tells him bluntly:

"W-WHAT?!" Zatanna asks in disbelief

"I killed your magic; you can't summon, use, or invoke it because it's gone." Dante informs Constantine

"You almost killed everybody here. You almost would have caused a tragedy if I hadn't stopped. This is your punishment!" Dante tells him, his tone cold.

"I believe that it's already enough bullshit for one day; I see you guys around." Dante then teleports, leaving The whole Justice League with their jaws on the ground

A spooked magician

And now an Ex-magician
