Chapter 584 Development
General Calvin was a bit surprised. He asked Andrew, "Mr. Wang, where did you find this magician? She seems very powerful."
"Found her on the street."
Andrew said, "General, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, she's different from that previous witch. She can be trusted. I'm not Amanda; I won't take risks."
"That's good."
General Calvin nodded. He trusted Andrew, after all, he was also a hidden Justice League member.
After a short while, Zatanna found a clue. She closed her book and said, "I need to check the person inside. Things might be a bit bad."
"No problem, General Calvin, inject Nick with anesthetic to put him to sleep."
Andrew said, and General Calvin didn't object. Soon, three burly men rushed into Nick's room. Before Nick could struggle, he was pressed onto the bed, and then something pierced his body.
Soon, Nick passed out. After the three burly men left, Zatanna walked into the ward and cast a reverse-speech magic. A complex magic array appeared above Nick.
As the magic array rotated, wisps of black energy emerged from Nick's body. Then, the black energy formed a ferocious human face and let out a low growl at Zatanna.
Zatanna quickly retreated. At the same time, the magic array collapsed. Everyone present, except Andrew, felt as if they had almost died.
"It's indeed Death Seth."
Zatanna didn't dare to probe further. She left the room with a grim expression, then said, "Mr. Wang, being a magic consultant for your Justice League is really not easy. The first thing I encounter is a true god. To be honest, I'm a bit regretful now."
"It's indeed not easy, especially when there's no salary."
Andrew nodded in agreement. Zatanna was speechless. Is he trying to drive away employees?
Andrew asked, "What exactly happened?"
"A long time ago, there was a princess in Egypt named Amunet. She was skilled in both literature and martial arts and was the Pharaoh's heir."
Zatanna explained, "Unfortunately, the Pharaoh later had another son, and Amunet's status as heir was stripped away. She was very unwilling, so she sacrificed to DeathSeth and gained Death magic.
Then, Amunet killed her father and brother and prepared a ritual, wanting to summon Death to descend. Fortunately, her actions were stopped in time by the guards and priests.
Ultimately, Amunet was mummified and sealed away. To prevent her from being discovered, the priests specifically sealed her in the Middle East.
The coffin that the Alien fugitive dug up earlier was her coffin. She's back, and Nick is the vessel for Death's descent. That's why he can resurrect.
When Amunet stabs the Dark Dagger into Nick's body, Death will descend upon Nick. What he will do then, I don't need to say more."
"He will destroy the world. Sure enough, it's another world-ending crisis."
General Calvin couldn't help but sigh. Is Earth really so full of disasters?
"Don't be so nervous."
Andrew smiled and said, "As long as we protect Nick and prevent Amunet from getting him, we can stop Deathfrom descending."
"While that's true, Amunet can interfere with and control Nick, and her magic is very powerful. Protecting Nick won't be easy at all."
Zatanna said, "Also, Nick's strength will continue to grow over time."
General Calvin asked, "How powerful is her magic specifically?"
"According to records, she can summon a sandstorm that covers an entire city."
Zatanna replied, "Besides that, she can also control corpses and turn them into puppets for her own use."
Everyone frowned slightly. This would be difficult to deal with. What was worse, Amunet also had a group of Alienfugitives with her.
At this moment, a Sky Eye Society senior executive next to General Calvin asked, "If we kill Nick, can we prevent Death from descending?
He was able to resurrect this time because his body was intact. If we throw him into molten iron or sulfuric acid, he shouldn't be able to resurrect."
Sacrificing one person to save the world, for the Sky Eye Society, was a very cost-effective solution.
Andrew looked at the other party speechlessly. Why were all people from the Sky Eye Society like this?
Zatanna was somewhat displeased. She snorted coldly and said, "In that case, Amunet will go find the next vessel."
The Sky Eye Society senior executive didn't care about Zatanna's attitude. He asked, "So, not only can we not kill Nick, but we also have to protect him?"
Zatanna nodded very affirmatively: "That's right, we must protect Nick."
"Although Nick isn't a good person, his crime isn't punishable by Death."
Andrew shook his head and said, "Amunet will definitely come for Nick. We'll set up traps in the base and wait for her and the others to come. They are strong, but our Justice League is not weak either."
General Calvin didn't object. He nodded and said, "For now, this is the only thing we can do. The military and the Sky Eye Society will help deal with Amunet and the Aliens together."
Andrew then asked, "Zatanna, do you have any way to keep Nick conscious and not controlled by Amunet?"
"I'll try my best."
Zatanna said, "However, don't have too high expectations. Amunet possesses divine power, and I'm just an ordinary magician."
"You're too modest; you're not an ordinary magician."
Andrew glanced at Zatanna's sinful chest, which was clearly heavyweight. He said, "Zatanna, thank you for your trouble this time."
Zatanna was delighted to hear this. She said, "Saving the world is also my responsibility. I can't always have you all saving me, can I?"
"I think the Superheroes would definitely be willing to save you."
Andrew smiled and said, "I'll immediately notify the Justice League and have them come over to help as soon as possible.
Also, General Calvin, after Nick wakes up, send someone to tell him the details so he can cooperate with us."
General Calvin nodded: "Okay, I'll transfer the Suicide Squad and Frege over to defend the base together."
Then, Andrew contacted the Justice League and explained the situation.
"Amunet must not get Nick."
Batman immediately said, "I'll rush over right away. Also, Mr. Wang, please introduce me to that magic consultant. I have many magic questions I want to ask her."
"Me too."
Tony said, "Oh, by the way, ask Nick if he's willing to be my test subject? A vessel for Death, this definitely needs thorough research. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"Wow, the crazy Scientist has appeared."
Andrew complained. He said, "We can't provoke Nick; we need his cooperation."
Tony said, "Don't worry, I won't provoke him. A million for me to study him once, I believe he'll agree, and even actively ask me to study him multiple times."
Batman added, "If he doesn't agree, I can add another million."
"Two rich dogs."
The rest of the Justice League complained simultaneously. Andrew shook his head and told everyone to come over.
Then, Andrew called Atom Ryan Choi: "You come to the base and ambush, as a trump card."
Atom immediately agreed: "No problem, I'll be right there. Speaking of which, I'm also very interested in someone who can resurrect endlessly."
"Nick is miserable, or rather, no, he's going to get rich. In the future, he can get rich just by being researched."
Andrew muttered to himself, then he called Flash, another person with a 'being researched' job.
"Barry, you come over too. The research can be paused for a few days."
Andrew said, "Also, you don't have to keep thinking about how to pay me back. I've already developed Speed Forcebullets; I can easily sell them for hundreds of millions."
"Indeed, Scientists are easier to make money."
Flash looked envious. Of course, Mr. Wang making money was his business; paying back money was his own business.
Flash hesitated for a moment and asked for help, "Mr. Wang, my father has been released from prison, but people around him still think he's a murderer and point fingers at him. He's very unhappy. Do you have any way to help him?"
"Small matter, just find a Super Hero to stand up for him."
Andrew said, "Of course, Flash definitely won't work; it might leak his identity.
I'll have Diana go over, do a few little tricks, and then use the Lasso of Truth in front of others to clear your father's name."
"That's great, Mr. Wang, thank you."
Flash was incredibly excited. Mr. Wang was amazing; he could solve problems that he couldn't figure out no matter how hard he thought about them, just by speaking casually.
After instructing Flash, Andrew put down the phone and stroked his chin in thought. One Death Seth was nothing, but if nothing unexpected happened, Constantine's storyline would very likely occur along with it.
After all, the cosmic consciousness had been pushing it all along.
"Death, Gabriel, Lucifer, Mammon, plus the Kryptonians eyeing us… "
Andrew thought to himself, "It seems like we're in for a tough battle. Good thing I'm always tough."
…
In an underground tomb in London, the Egyptian Princess Amunet opened a Crusader's coffin and took out a ruby from inside, placing it on the Dark Dagger she had found earlier.
"The Death artifact is complete."
Amunet was excited. When she first left the coffin, she was a mummy. After that, Axe Man found many living people for her to absorb, and now, she was no different from when she was alive.
Amunet's face and body were covered with many strange characters. They were divine script, and her magic power came from these characters.
Axe Man asked in confusion, "Why are your things in a Crusader's tomb?"
"I don't know, but I have a connection to them: the dagger used for sacrifice, and the ruby containing Death's will."
Amunet said, "As long as the Death artifact is plunged into the vessel's chest, Death will descend upon the human world, and then I will gain Eternity."
"The problem is, the Death vessel was taken by the Justice League."
Axe Man asked, "Can we switch to another vessel?"
"Not before he dies, no."
Amunet said, "Mere mortals cannot stop me. I know where the vessel is. You have your people take me there, and I will reclaim the vessel."
"Mere mortals? Princess, times have changed."
Axe Man took out a tablet and said, "Let's first popularize some common knowledge about this world, lest you walk right into a trap and be easily dealt with by the Justice League."
"No matter how times change, my God is invincible."
Amunet snorted coldly. At this moment, the screen showed Flash saving people. Looking at the constantly flickering figure, Amunet's expression became solemn.
"I didn't expect mortals of this era to be so powerful."
After a moment, Amunet said, "You're right, I should first understand the current common knowledge. How do I use this thing?"
Seeing that Amunet was not blindly arrogant, Axe Mannodded in satisfaction. He didn't want a pig teammate.
The Death vessel definitely had to be snatched back, that went without saying, but how to snatch it had to be carefully planned.
The Justice League was never easy to deal with.
…
At night, a rather shabby Constantine got out of the taxi driven by his half-apprentice Chas Chandler. Then, he said to Chas, "Don't wait for me, you go back first."
After speaking, Constantine closed the car door and strode towards the church ahead. Chas rolled his eyes. It seemed that today's taxi fare would not be collected again.
Chas shook his head and continued to drive his taxi to earn money. Learning magic was a very expensive endeavor.
Constantine pushed open the heavy church doors, preparing to walk inside. Just then, a voice came from behind: "Wait a moment, don't close the door."
Constantine ignored it. He let go of the door and walked towards the fireplace ahead.
A moment later, the door was pushed open again by a beautiful lady with a heroic air, a policewoman named Angela.
Angela glared at Constantine's back in dissatisfaction and walked towards the priest nearby.
Angela's twin sister had committed suicide in a mental hospital a few days ago, and according to doctrine, suicides cannot enter heaven. So, she came to beg the priest to allow her sister to have a Catholic funeral.
Constantine ignored the people behind him. He walked next to a blonde figure and said, "Gabriel."
The blonde figure turned around. It was a person of ambiguous gender, very heroic, none other than Archangel Gabriel.
Of course, it was not the true body, but a descent form. According to the agreement between God and Lucifer, the true bodies of angels and demons cannot enter the human world.
Constantine's purpose in seeking Gabriel was simple: to ask if he was qualified to go to heaven.
Earlier in the day, Constantine went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor immediately gave him a Deathsentence. Clearly, that very low-key Wonder Woman's boyfriend was not playing with him; he was truly dying soon.
"Constantine, you cannot go to heaven."
Gabriel shook his head. He said, "I told you a long time ago, expelling demons alone won't get you into heaven. The conditions for entering heaven are all written in the Bible."
A disappointed Constantine couldn't help but curse, "Gabriel, you're disgusting. I've done so much for heaven; I've long been qualified to go to heaven."
Gabriel was not angry. He said, "Constantine, everything you've done has been for yourself. People like you cannot go to heaven."
"I will go to heaven; I will never go to hell."
Constantine cursed and turned to leave, while on the other side, Angela also left disappointed; the priest had refused her.
Chapter 585 Constantine
Looking at Constantine and Angela's retreating figures, Gabriel's eyes flashed with a faint light.
For the Archdemon Mammon to enter the human world, two conditions needed to be met: one was an item filled with holy power, which they had already prepared and were sending to Los Angeles.
The other was a medium, namely Angela and her twin sister; their physiques were special, allowing Mammon to enter Angela's body through her sister in Hell.
Angela and her sister were both chosen ones, possessing powerful magic and 'Yin-Yang Eyes' from birth. However, unlike her sister, Angela chose to self-seal, turning herself into an ordinary person.
For Angela to be a medium, she must first return to her normal state.
"It's a pity that Angela's self-seal can only be opened by herself; otherwise, it wouldn't be so troublesome."
Gabriel shook his head. He planned to scheme against Constantine, making him help Angela investigate the truth behind her sister's suicide.
Then, step by step, he would push Angela to voluntarily unseal herself, becoming a qualified medium, or rather, a tool.
"First, send demons to attack Constantine to pique his curiosity, make him actively investigate this matter, and threaten him a bit. That man is very proud."
Gabriel smiled faintly, "God, I will punish humanity for you, so they may be worthy of believing in you."
"God, I am your most loyal one."
Outside the church, it had started raining heavily at some unknown point. Constantine and Angela leaned against the door to shelter from the rain, one bewildered, the other despairing.
Constantine sighed, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and coincidentally pulled out Andrew's business card as well.
"Wonder Woman's boyfriend, even if you've saved the world a few times, you can't save me."
Constantine looked at the business card, first shaking his head. Then, an idea sparked in his mind: "Huh, wait, Wonder Woman is a demigod, on the magic side. Maybe she has a way to help me."
Constantine hesitated for a moment, deciding to try anything. He took out his phone and called Andrew.
Soon, the call connected, and Constantine asked, "Wonder Woman's boyfriend, I'm Constantine, that unlucky guy with terminal lung cancer. Do you still remember me?"
"Wonder Woman's boyfriend?"
Angela looked at Constantine in surprise. This kind of guy actually knew such a big shot? Huh, wait, he has terminal lung cancer?
"Constantine, I remember you. Do you need my help with something?"
Andrew asked, images of Constantine and Angelaflashing in his eyes. He secretly snorted, "The two storylines really collided."
Constantine asked, "Yes, are you free? I'd like to pay you a visit."
"At this time? Alright, I'm at the Sky Eye Society's Los Angeles base. Come over, and I'll notify the gate guard."
Andrew told Constantine the address and said, "Don't trespass randomly. The Sky Eye Society's people will really shoot."
"Understood."
Constantine nodded, then he called Chas, telling him to come pick him up quickly.
Chas complained incessantly that he really was just a tool.
Angela looked at Constantine, wanting to ask something, but hesitated and still didn't speak. She was never such a gossipy person.
"Asking is useless. I can't exactly ask the Justice Leagueto investigate my sister's death, can I?"
Angela shook her head. At the same time, Gabriel in the church frowned slightly: "Wonder Woman's boyfriend, the Justice League?"
Although Gabriel didn't take the Justice League seriously, he didn't want them to interfere. After all, the Justice League wasn't that easy to deal with.
"Let's see the specific situation first. Constantine is the most suitable candidate. I've made many arrangements for him before. Changing people temporarily might lead to mistakes, and there's no time."
Gabriel thought to himself, then he notified the demon, telling it to hold back for now.
The weapon with holy power was being sent to Los Angeles. Changing people might cause timing issues and lead to others discovering it.
That weapon was no ordinary weapon; Gabriel had put a lot of effort into hiding it from others.
Not long after, Chas's taxi arrived. Constantine, in a much better mood, proactively asked Angela, "Do you want me to drop you off somewhere you can hail a taxi? This godforsaken place, you won't find a taxi in an hour."
Angela hesitated, then got into the car with Constantine. Constantine told Chas, "First, drop this lady off at the plaza ahead, then go to the Sky Eye Society's base in Los Angeles. I'll read you the address."
"The Sky Eye Society's base? What are you going there for? None of the Sky Eye Society's people are good."
Chas drove while grumbling, "They almost destroyed the world last time."
"Just drive your car. Why so much nonsense?"
Constantine didn't say much; he was never a talkative person.
Chas rolled his eyes unhappily and focused on driving. Soon, the taxi arrived at the plaza ahead. Angela got out and said, "Thank you, um, you are…"
"Call me Constantine. If you need an exorcism in the future, you can come find me."
Constantine nodded and had Chas drive away. Angelawas stunned, "Constantine?" She seemed to have heard that name in a dream.
...
At the Sky Eye Society base, Constantine got straight to the point: "Mr. Wang, it's like this… I heard Wonder Woman is a demigod. I wonder if she can prevent me from going to hell?"
"She can."
Andrew smiled. Constantine was overjoyed and was about to ask, when Andrew said, "Her Vulcan Sword can destroy souls. As long as your soul is destroyed, you won't have to go to hell."
"…"
Constantine was dumbfounded. What kind of solution was this? Solving the person with the problem instead of the problem itself?
Uh, come to think of it, in a desperate situation, this might actually be a way.
"Just kidding, don't be so serious."
Andrew waved his hand and said, "John Constantine, Heaven and Hell, even our Justice League cannot interfere."
Constantine was a little disappointed. Just then, Andrewcontinued, "However, there are other ways to solve this problem, for example, giving you a mechanical lung, allowing you to live for another thirty or forty years or so."
Constantine's eyes lit up: "Can current technology do something like that?"
"Current technology can't, but I can."
Andrew said, "With a mechanical lung, as long as it doesn't relapse, you can live for a very long time."
"That's great!"
Constantine was overjoyed at first, then he asked, "What do I need to pay?"
To get something, you have to pay something. Constantine knew this very well. Although the other party was a Super Hero, he certainly wouldn't help him for no reason.
"After leaving the meeting, I investigated your information."
Andrew said, "Your reputation is very bad. Others call you Zha Kang. Also, many people curse you every day, including your friends, your clients, your colleagues, your apprentices… Uh, it seems there's no one who doesn't curse you."
"That's all slander. They're jealous of me. There's a saying in the East: 'One who isn't envied is a mediocre talent.'"
Constantine said without changing his expression, and with his handsome face, it actually had quite a bit of credibility.
"Don't worry, I know those things are… true. However, you're also a good person, having helped many people."
Andrew said, "So, I'm willing to help you with this. However, the surgery fee can be waived completely, but you must pay for the material costs. I can't help people at a loss, can I?"
Constantine was beaming with joy. If it was just a matter of money, it would be easy. He asked, "No problem, how much are the materials? I'll pay you."
Andrew said, "Twenty million US dollars."
"Twenty million US dollars, no… Wait, how much? I suspect I'm hallucinating, since I'm in the late stages."
Constantine was nonchalant at first, then his eyes widened as he asked in disbelief.
"Twenty million US dollars. The biggest problem with cutting-edge technology is its lack of widespread availability, so the price won't come down. Both the mechanical lung and the tools used during the surgery are very expensive."
Andrew said, "Twenty million US dollars. You bring the money, and I'll replace your lung. Don't worry, I'm not extorting you. I make tens of millions of US dollars a minute; I don't have time to extort you, it's too unprofitable."
"You're really convincing."
Constantine grumbled, then he couldn't help but pull out a cigarette and light it.
Is twenty million US dollars expensive? Not really. If those rich people knew about this, they'd pay two hundred million, let alone twenty million.
The problem was, he didn't have the money. Twenty thousand, two hundred thousand, he could still figure out a way to raise it, or con a few friends.
Twenty million… He could only try to find Tony Stark and see if he found his handsome face appealing.
"Can I pay after the surgery?"
Constantine asked. Andrew looked at him and asked, "Are you trying to get it for free?"
"I'm not trying to get it for free, I just want to pay a few years later, well, a few decades later."
Constantine gave an awkward smile. He had conned too many people, and his reputation was ruined. If he had known this would happen, he would have… conned more people back then. Now he couldn't even con anyone.
"What is that if not getting it for free?"
Andrew grumbled. He said, "Constantine, it's fine if you want to have the surgery first and pay later, but you'll have to sell yourself to me nine times."
"Sell myself?"
Constantine was stunned. Wasn't Mr. Wang Wonder Woman's boyfriend? Why was he interested in men, just like Tony Stark?
"Being too handsome isn't good either. Boys must protect themselves when they're out."
Constantine immediately wanted to refuse. Andrew said, "Don't misunderstand. The so-called 'selling yourself' has two meanings. First, help me do things.
Second, I will tamper with your body. When needed, I will control your body to do things. It's up to you to decide whether to 'sell' or not."
As long as Constantine agreed to this condition, Andrewcould control the progress of the movie "Constantine" through him and take action at critical moments.
Disasters were not scary; the key was to control them. As long as they were controlled, Andrew didn't mind if disasters happened, because he needed prestige and the power of fear.
Chapter 586 Curse
"Is this a self-sacrifice?"
Constantine frowned, thought for a moment, then asked, "What do you plan to do with my body?"
"I can give you a guarantee: I will only use your body to save the world."
Andrew said, "Constantine, with your reputation, there's no need to worry about what I'll do with your body, right? It's already completely ruined anyway."
"Why are you speaking such blunt truths?"
Constantine grumbled, not answering immediately but smoking continuously. After the entire cigarette was finished, he said, "Alright, I agree."
"Constantine, I know you're still thinking about getting a free ride."
Andrew said, "You're thinking that after your lungs are replaced, you'll leave Los Angeles and try to remove the means I've placed inside your body, aren't you?
I don't mind you doing that, but let me state upfront, you'll never be able to remove what I've done."
"As expected of a Super Hero, speaking so clearly."
Constantine chuckled and said, "As for getting a free ride, it mainly depends on both parties' methods. If your methods are superior to mine, I'll gladly pay. But if my methods are superior, then you'll just have to let me get a free ride."
"Constantine, you're an interesting person. Though you're a scumbag, you're clearly and openly a scumbag."
Andrew laughed and said, "If you agree, we'll start immediately. Tonight, we'll do the preliminary preparatory work, which is injecting nano-solution into your body.
After that, we'll wait a month to observe if your body rejects it. If not, we can proceed to the next step."
Actually, Andrew could replace Constantine's lungs right now. The reason he didn't was that he was afraid the guy would flee Los Angeles the next second, and then all his efforts would be in vain.
"No problem. By the way, after the lung replacement, will it affect my smoking?"
Constantine asked. He could go without food, alcohol, or women, but he absolutely could not go without smoking.
"It won't affect it, but I won't enhance that function. Smoking is harmful to health."
Andrew said. Then, in the base laboratory, he performed the preliminary surgery for Constantine.
After the injection, whether it was psychological or genuinely effective, Constantine felt great. He decided to celebrate by smoking ten cigarettes tonight.
Andrew smiled and directly kicked Constantine out of the base to prevent him from polluting the base's air.
Constantine gave a middle finger, calling him a scumbag for not letting him stay overnight after getting what he wanted.
Finally, Constantine had no choice but to call his tool-man Chas again to drive him home.
Over the next two days, everything was calm. Gabriel, seeing that Constantine had no special connection with the Justice League, decided to continue with the plan.
Time waits for no one. At worst, after Angela's seal is broken, they would just kill Constantine directly to prevent him from 'reporting' them.
That night, Constantine was attacked by a demon composed of spiders, venomous snakes, and flies. Ultimately, he successfully killed the creature and escaped danger.
"Why would a demon appear in the human world? This is very wrong."
Constantine was very puzzled. The next day, Angelacame knocking. Constantine initially didn't want to bother, but he noticed that demons were tracking Angela.
Finally, under Gabriel's scheme, Constantine, along with Chas and two friends, began investigating the suicide of Angela's sister.
"Chief Director Gabriel, leading actors Constantine and Angela, and I am the behind-the-scenes director."
Andrew smiled slightly, continuing to observe the situation through Constantine, waiting for the right moment to act.
...
What do a group of Super Heroes do when they gather? Seriously discuss how to better protect the world?
The answer is: play games.
That's right, play games. Iron Man and Batman were playing a mental arithmetic poker game, competing to see whose mental arithmetic speed was faster.
Superman and Flash were playing a card-grabbing game. Simply put, they threw cards into the air to see who could grab cards with higher points.
Green Lantern and Aquaman were playing Texas Hold'em. Both were novices, playing with great enthusiasm.
As for Andrew, he was playing a game with Diana and Zatanna. Uh, don't misunderstand, it was a very proper game—Dou Dizhu (Fight the Landlord), which Andrewtaught them.
"Zatanna, it's just poker, you don't need to use x-ray Vision magic, do you?"
Andrew complained, "Also, Diana, don't think I didn't sense the magic fluctuations?"
Diana and Zatanna smiled, stopped using magic, and focused on playing cards. Andrew nodded in satisfaction, cheating with a nano-camera.
Cheating that is discovered is called cheating; cheating that isn't discovered is called masterful skill.
As for Atom, he was hiding in the shadows, watching everyone play cards. There was no other way; that was the assassin's fate.
"These Super Heroes, aside from their powerful abilities, are no different from ordinary people in other aspects."
Nick sat by the side, sighing. Jenny chuckled, "That's their most valuable quality. If they were high and mighty, they'd be gods, not Super Heroes.
I used to admire them a lot, and now I admire them even more."
Nick nodded, "That's true."
Jenny asked, "How are you doing? Are you still dreaming about Amunet every night?"
"I dream about her every night, and I often experience auditory and visual hallucinations. Fortunately, with the magic bracelet Ms. Zatanna gave me, I can distinguish what's real from what's fake."
Nick said, "I really hope this whole thing ends soon and everything returns to normal."
"Are you willing to give it up? You're making a million dollars a day now, just lying around, doing nothing."
Jenny scoffed, "I heard you were quite angry at first. How did you eventually give in?"
"Because they gave too much."
Nick complained. At first, when Iron Man and Batmansaid they wanted to study his body, he was indeed very angry.
"I, Nick, am a man who stands tall. Even if Amunettortures me to Death, I will never let you study my body."
A moment later, Nick expressed that Franklin was truly wonderful.
Nick looked up and asked, "Mr. Wang, when will Amunetarrive?"
Superman also asked, "I want to ask that question too. Taking too many days off isn't good, and more importantly, feeling like I'm wasting my life doing nothing all day."
"Probably soon. Amunet won't let us continue studying Nick's body indefinitely; after all, it's Death's future body, not to be desecrated."
Andrew said. Just then, Superman suddenly stood up and said, "There's a plane out of control in the sky, calling for help. I'm going to assist."
"Green Lantern, you go with Superman. Both of you be careful. The timing is a bit too coincidental; it might be a trap."
Andrew didn't stop them, nor could he. He said, "Everyone else, prepare for battle. Tony, Batman, you two are responsible for guarding the base.
Nick, remember to stay by my side at all times. Don't leave. My side is the safest place."
"Okay."
Everyone nodded. Unbeknownst to them, everyone had grown accustomed to Andrew's command. Of course, Batman hadn't, but as long as the orders were correct, he wouldn't object.
Aquaman covered his poker cards and said, "Hurry and prepare, the enemy is coming."
Green Lantern was speechless. "You scoundrel, you're too devious. I had a straight flush."
Then, Superman and Green Lantern flew out of the base together, soaring into the sky. Soon, they saw a passenger plane with its left engine smoking, rapidly falling.
"Superman, you hold up the plane, I'll keep watch."
Green Lantern shouted. Superman nodded, flew beneath the plane, and supported it with both hands, helping it decelerate.
Unlike Homelander in The Boys' world, Superman has a bio-field around him that prevents the plane from deforming. If Homelander were to do it, the plane would just break apart with one touch.
Superman and Green Lantern were both very careful, but nothing happened in between. Soon, Superman carried the plane to the airport and gently set it down.
"It seems Mr. Wang was overly cautious. This was just a very ordinary plane crash."
Green Lantern said. Superman nodded and flew out from under the plane.
At this point, the passengers who had narrowly escaped Death all crowded to the windows, shouting Superman's and Green Lantern's names, thanking the Super Heroes for saving them.
Green Lantern waved his hand and said, "This is what we should do. No need to thank us."
"I will continue to save you as always."
Superman also said. Just then, all the passengers inside the plane had their heads explode simultaneously. Superman and Green Lantern were both stunned. What was happening?
Superman was about to rush into the plane to investigate. At that moment, hundreds of souls flew out of the deceased passengers' bodies, transforming into gray light, and rapidly flew towards the two Super Heroes.
The two Super Heroes were startled and quickly dodged, but the gray light was incredibly fast. Even Superman couldn't evade it. Soon, most of the gray light entered Superman's body, and a small portion flew into Green Lantern's body.
As the gray light entered their bodies, Superman and Green Lantern both felt incredibly weak, fell from the sky, and landed on the ground, unable to move.
"How could this happen?"
Inside the base, everyone was greatly alarmed. Zatannashouted, "It's a curse! Earlier, Superman and Green Lantern promised to protect the passengers, but they failed to do so; all the passengers died.
Therefore, the passengers' souls turned into a curse, entering Superman's and Green Lantern's bodies, causing them to die along with them.
We must help them break the curse as soon as possible. Otherwise, Superman might be okay, but Green Lanternmight really die.
Flash, quickly bring them back."
"Okay."
Flash dared not waste time and immediately turned into an electric Flash, heading to the airport.
"How despicable, how cruel."
Wonder Woman cursed, "Using the lives of hundreds of passengers to set up a curse—everything was calculated by them."
"Amunet is Death's contractor. For power, she spares neither her own father nor brother, let alone the lives of others."
Andrew said, "Flash, be careful. Their setup will definitely not be just this little."
Before Andrew finished speaking, two Kryptonians flew to the airport with sonic booms. Then, their eyes glowed red, and four Heat Visions were ready to shoot at Superman and Green Lantern.
At the crucial moment, Fiora appeared out of thin air next to one of the Kryptonians, punching him away, sending him crashing heavily into the other Kryptonian.
Fiora had been following behind Superman, which was why she was able to provide timely rescue.
"Fiora."
Seeing the cold-faced Fiora, the two Kryptonians' eyes were filled with sadness and anger. Then, one Kryptonian restrained Fiora, while the other pounced towards Superman on the ground.
Chapter 587: Blocking
At the critical moment, with a Flash of electricity, Superman and Green Lantern both vanished.
"Flash."
The Kryptonian was about to pursue Flash, who was fleeing with Superman and Green Lantern, when two Heat Visions slammed into him, sending him flying and skidding across the ground.
By the time the Kryptonian got back up, Flash had already disappeared.
The two Kryptonians, helpless, could only hold Fioraback, preventing her from leaving.
Fiora's face was cold, and she acted without mercy, preparing to kill the two Kryptonians in the shortest possible time.
Inside the base, Flash returned with Superman and Green Lantern, and Zatanna rushed forward to check on their condition.
A moment later, Zatanna said, "Things are very bad, Mr. Wang.
Next, I need to help them expel the curse, and I might not be able to attend to other matters."
"No problem, you focus on expelling the curse."
Andrew nodded, and everyone's expressions were a bit grim.
Right at the start, they had lost Superman and Green Lantern, two main forces, and Fiora and Zatanna were also tied down.
This battle might not be as easy as they imagined.
At this moment, Cyborg shouted, "Indigo has appeared!
She's using the network to cause many electrical appliances to explode, starting fires, and quite a few civilians have been affected."
"Clearly, they want to scatter our forces."
General Calvin's holographic projection appeared, and he said, "Although it's a bit cruel, I suggest the Super Heroes not deploy.
Nick is more important."
"Your suggestion is a bit late.
Flash has already gone to save people."
Andrew spread his hands, and everyone chuckled.
That was very Flash-like.
"Cyborg, let's team up and stop that blue woman."
Tony shouted, and Cyborg nodded.
Then, the two of them began battling Indigo on the network, and Indigo's speed in detonating appliances immediately slowed significantly.
Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Alicereported, "BOSS, a large number of zombies have appeared in the City and are biting people everywhere."
As Alice reported, a large number of holographic projections popped up from Andrew's phone, showing withered zombies chasing fleeing civilians on the streets.
Civilians bitten by the zombies would quickly shrivel up and die on the spot.
What was worse, a moment later, their corpses would rise from the ground and join the pursuit of the civilians.
This was not a zombie virus; it was simply Amunetcontrolling corpses.
All the corpses in the City were under her control.
The civilians were terrified, screaming and fleeing frantically.
The bustling Los Angeles quickly turned into a hell.
"Amunet is controlling the zombies.
These zombies are like worker bees, helping her absorb life force.
The more civilians who die, the stronger her magic becomes."
Zatanna shouted, "Eventually, she might even be able to destroy the entire City with a sandstorm."
"This is troublesome now."
Everyone's expressions were solemn, unsure whether they should go into the City to save people.
Going into the City to save people would leave the base's defenses vulnerable, risking Nick's capture.
But not going to save people would allow Amunet to grow stronger over time.
Moreover, not saving people would weigh on their consciences.
"I've never wanted to kill someone so much.
She's gone too far."
Aquaman cursed, and Iron Man said, "I'll immediately take the Iron Man Suit legion to stop the zombies.
Aquaman, you come with me.
Cyborg, you continue dealing with Indigo; don't let her detonate all of Los Angeles.
Batman, Wonder Woman, you two stay and guard the base."
Andrew also said, "General Calvin, send most of the soldiers and Agents into the City to deal with the zombies.
Also, have the police cooperate fully.
Alice, search the entire City for Amunet's whereabouts; we must find her as soon as possible."
"Okay, all soldiers and Agents, follow Iron Man's arrangements."
General Calvin hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Then, Iron Man and Aquaman led a large number of soldiers and Agents into the City to eliminate the zombies.
With these people helping, the situation immediately improved significantly.
However, the number of zombies was simply too great, and new ones kept appearing.
It wouldn't be easy to eliminate them all.
Alice mobilized all the City's cameras to search for Amunet, but unfortunately, found nothing.
This was not surprising; with Indigo, the enemy would surely have taken precautions against this.
"Batman, Wonder Woman, get ready.
If nothing unexpected happens, Amunet and her allies will be here soon."
Andrew shouted to the others, "Nick, don't worry too much.
We will protect you well."
Nick didn't answer; his expression was blank, clearly indicating that Amunet was casting a spell on him.
Everyone exchanged glances, feeling a sense of gravity.
This opponent was truly difficult to deal with.
"The wind tonight is a bit noisy."
At the same time, inside the church, Gabriel sensed the commotion and used magic to survey the entire City.
Looking at the constantly appearing flames and black smoke, she was a bit surprised.
With Gabriel's abilities, she quickly understood what was happening in the City.
Her eyes lit up.
This seemed like a good opportunity; the Justice Leaguecurrently had no time to pay attention to them.
"Whether it's the arrival of Death or Mammon, it's all the same to me."
Gabriel thought for a moment and instructed, "Advance the plan.
Kill Constantine's two friends and his apprentice to force Angela to unseal, and then find The Mastermind.
Additionally, have all the half-demons gather at the mental hospital, preparing for Mammon's arrival."
"Yes, great Archangel."
A voice full of sarcasm responded.
Gabriel snorted coldly.
A bunch of filthy ants, how could they understand her greatness?
Then, Gabriel sensed outside the City, a blank-faced Mexican man holding a bronze spearhead slowly approaching Los Angeles.
"Take a car into the City.
When the Holy Spear pierces Angela's stomach, Mammon will descend upon the human world."
Gabriel commanded, and the puppet numbly nodded, got into the already prepared car, and quickly drove towards the mental hospital.
This bronze spearhead was called the Longinus Spear, famous in Catholicism—it was the spear that killed Jesus, stained with Jesus's holy blood, possessing vast divine power.
Following Gabriel's command, a group of half-demons ambushed Constantine's residence.
Although they were eventually repelled, Constantine's apprentice, Chas, and two good friends were killed by the half-demons.
"Demons, I want you dead!"
Constantine roared furiously, and Angela tightly clenched her fists.
These people had all sacrificed themselves for her.
"When I was little, like my sister, I could see all sorts of ghosts and monsters.
Later, I didn't want to be treated like a mental patient, so I told everyone else that I couldn't see anything, and gradually, I truly couldn't see anything."
Angela said to Constantine, "Constantine, help me restore my abilities.
Then, I should be able to find clues about those half-demons to avenge Chas and the others, and at the same time, uncover the truth behind all of this."
"Are you sure?
Once you take this step, you can't go back."
Constantine, though angry, had not lost his reason.
He said, "If you notice ghosts and monsters, they will also notice you."
"I've thought it through.
Actually, I should have done this a long time ago."
Angela said firmly, "I want those demons to pay the price, and I want to free my sister from hell."
"Okay, then I'll start right away."
Constantine nodded.
It wasn't difficult to help Angela restore her magic; she would awaken if pushed to the brink, provided she was willing to unseal herself.
If Angela herself was unwilling, she wouldn't recover her magic even if she were killed.
"Success."
Gabriel nodded with satisfaction.
Then, she raised her right hand, preparing to cast a spell: once Angela's magic was restored, she would immediately transfer Angela to the mental hospital, allowing Mammon to descend.
Just then, Gabriel looked ahead in astonishment.
What the hell was this?
Inside the residence, Constantine suddenly clenched his fist and delivered a powerful "Forever Alone Fist" to Angela's face.
Angela was knocked unconscious on the spot and fell to the ground.
Angela looked bewildered before passing out.
Why did John hit me?
Gabriel was also bewildered.
Why did Constantine suddenly knock Angela out?
What about restoring her magic?
Constantine himself was equally bewildered.
Why did I knock Angela out?
"No, it wasn't me."
Constantine suddenly realized.
He was about to speak when Andrew's voice echoed in his mind:
"Don't speak; just think it in your head.
Yes, I was controlling your body just now.
This is the first time."
It was Andrew who had knocked Angela out.
The arrangements he had made on Constantine earlier had successfully come into play.
"Why knock Angela out?
Angela must recover her magic; only then can we find those half-demons and avenge my friends."
Constantine asked discontentedly, "Also, those demons clearly have a big conspiracy, and we must stop them."
Andrew said, "Didn't you notice?
You've been set up."
Constantine said, "Yes, set up by you.
The 'operation' hadn't even begun, and you were already controlling my body.
And, clearly, you've been monitoring me all along."
"It was going to happen sooner or later, so what if it's a bit early?"
Andrew said, "Constantine, you're a smart person.
Now, calm down and think carefully: have you really been set up?"
Constantine was stunned by these words.
Then, he lowered his head and thought deeply.
A moment later, he said with a grim expression, "Everything that happened earlier was indeed a bit too coincidental.
Clearly, there's The Mastermind using me, but the question is, what does he want to do?"
"I don't know what The Mastermind wants to do, but it's definitely related to Angela."
Andrew said, "Amunet is currently rampaging across the City, and the Justice League doesn't have time to deal with this right now.
Constantine, you need to stall The Mastermind until we've dealt with Amunet."
"Amunet, rampaging across the City?"
Constantine was stunned.
He said, "No wonder The Mastermind launched his attack at this time.
At this moment, you, the Justice League, have no time to stop him."
"It's good that you understand."
Andrew said.
Just then, Angela suddenly flew backward uncontrollably, even crashing through the wall, as Gabriel was summoning Angela from afar.
The seal Angela had placed on herself was already broken.
Now, it wouldn't be difficult for her to recover her magic, which meant there was no longer a need to act or to keep this scoundrel Constantine around.
"Angela."
Constantine was about to chase after her when a large number of nanites suddenly emerged from his palm, forming a silver tentacle that grabbed Angela.
Unfortunately, Gabriel's magic was too strong, and Constantine and Angela were both dragged towards the window.
Andrew snorted coldly.
Three clusters of nanites emerged from behind Constantine, then the nanites pierced through his clothes, forming three silver tentacles embedded in the nearby wall, counteracting Gabriel's magic.
Constantine couldn't help but complain, "How much stuff did you put in my body?
Is my body a junkyard?"
Andrew said casually, "Not much, just an armory."
"An armory?
You call that 'not much'?
And you could at least tell me?"
Constantine was speechless.
Although his body did somewhat resemble a junkyard, putting an armory in it was a bit too much, wasn't it?
By the way, could his body really hold that much?
An entire armory?
Constantine was a swindler, but unfortunately, he met an even bigger swindler.
Seeing Angela stopped, Gabriel increased her magic output, and the walls around the tentacles quickly cracked and crumbled.
"What are you still standing there for?
Quickly cast a spell to break the magic on Angela."
Andrew shouted.
He couldn't personally intervene; Alice had controlled the nanites just now.
"Okay."
Constantine put his hands together and cast a dispel spell on Angela.
Constantine was a rogue magician; his advantage was knowing a little bit of every spell, but his disadvantage was that he truly only knew a little bit.
Thus, his spell failed, and Angela continued to fly backward.
"You really can't be relied on."
Andrew grumbled.
Then, a large number of nanites burst from Constantine's chest, forming two thrusters that spewed flames, bringing Constantine and Angela back to their original spot.
"What kind of look is this?"
Looking at the two thrusters on his chest, Constantine's entire face was mortified.
Also, was this still his body, with everything in it?
Seeing that it was futile, Gabriel reluctantly dispersed her magic.
She looked at the distant residence, her expression a bit grim.
Clearly, someone was helping Constantine, but the problem was, Gabriel couldn't personally intervene.
She wasn't the only big shot in Heaven.
If she personally intervened, the other big shots would be alerted.
However, Gabriel could appear at the mental hospital; there was a magic array there that could hide everything.
"I can only send the half-demons."
Gabriel thought for a moment and instructed, "Balthazar, take the half-demons and go kill Constantine and snatch Angela.
Be careful, Constantine is a bit strange."
"No problem, don't worry.
No matter how powerful he is, he's just one person; he can't fight us."
Balthazar didn't waste words and immediately led the half-demons out.
Uh, they didn't travel by flapping their wings but by riding cars, helicopters, and other means of transportation.
These half-demons had lived in human society for many years and were long accustomed to using human methods.
At the residence, Alice controlled the tentacles to gently set Angela down.
Then, Andrew said to Constantine, "The test has just begun.
If nothing unexpected happens, demons will soon come to snatch her.
Constantine, the Justice League doesn't have time to deal with this right now.
You need to protect Angela and prevent her from being taken by the demons."
Chapter 588 Appearance
Hearing Andrew, Constantine snorted, "No problem, you gave me a full body armory, blocking those demons is easy."
"Without this armory, you and Angela would have been finished."
Andrew said, "Constantine, next, I will return control of the body to you, and let the armory obey your command.
Delaying time is not only for this world, but also for yourself and Angela."
"Also for my friends."
Constantine took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, saying, "I will never let them have their way, Mr. Wang, give me back the body, and I'll take Angela to Father Midnight's Pub."
Father Midnight was a very powerful voodoo sorcerer who ran a neutral pub in Los Angeles, open to any race, and with him there, no one dared to cause trouble in the pub.
Of course, that was before; Gabriel and that group of half-blood demons certainly wouldn't abandon their plan because of a neutral party.
"No wonder your friends all curse you; you really don't hold back when it comes to screwing over your friends."
Andrew complained, saying, "In short, I'm leaving this to you. No matter what, you must stall until the Justice League deals with Amunet."
"Okay, you guys try to be as quick as possible. I don't know how long I can stall for."
Constantine said. He wasn't afraid of the half-blood demons, but The Mastermind was clearly not a simple character.
"The Justice League is definitely more anxious than you."
Andrew shook his head, his consciousness leaving Constantine's body, and Constantine completely regained control of his body.
Then, a mechanical voice sounded in Constantine's mind: "Hello, I am the Armory intelligent system, currently unnamed. I am connected to your brain, and you can give me commands through your consciousness."
"Connected to my brain? How many tricks did Mr. Wangplay on me during that small surgery? Is he really a good guy? He's even darker than me, isn't he?"
Constantine was speechless, then he asked the intelligent system about the specific functions of the armory.
A moment later, Constantine's mind moved, and a green flying skateboard appeared under his feet. Then, the skateboard activated, spraying flames as it soared into the sky.
"Cool."
Constantine was amazed. The nanobots in his body had multiple templates and could even form a temporary Iron Man Suit.
With the armory and his own magic, Constantine's confidence immediately surged. He should be able to stall until the Justice League arrived.
"This thing must cost a lot of money. Uh, it's none of my business, I can't afford it anyway."
Constantine thought to himself, completely unconcerned. Then, he picked up Angela and rushed towards Father Midnight's Pub.
Father Midnight could not only provide protection, but he also had a magical chair that could track the inside story of this matter.
"This direction is?"
Gabriel noticed the direction Constantine was heading and understood. He snorted, knowing that no one could stop Him from teaching humanity a lesson.
At the Sky Eye Society base, Jenny asked somewhat fearfully, "Now there are only a few of us left, and Nick has problems again. Can we really stop Amunet?"
At this moment, only Wonder Woman, Batman, and the always-hidden Atom remained capable of fighting within the base.
As for Cyborg, he was fully engaged in dealing with Indigo online and had no time for other matters, while Zatanna was treating Superman and Green Lantern.
Andrew comforted her, "Don't be so nervous, because it's useless to be nervous. You'll die anyway."
"You're really good at comforting people."
Jenny complained. Andrew smiled. At this moment, he thought of something, took out a gun from his arms, and threw it to Batman, saying:
"This is a Speed Force gun I developed using Flash, capable of firing bullets at 100 times the speed of sound, but there's only one. Keep it with you and use it at a critical moment."
Batman's eyes lit up, and he put the gun away. Then he asked, "Why is there only one?"
Andrew said, "It's too fast. The gun will be destroyed after firing. After all, it's just an experimental product. A perfect one will be released in the future."
Batman reminded him, "This thing cannot be leaked, otherwise it will be very troublesome."
"Don't worry, it's for internal Justice League use," Andrewsaid with a smile.
Speed Force bullets are just the lowest level application of Speed Force. In the future, he will develop more advanced products, and even directly replicate Speed Force.
Zatanna, who was dispelling the curse from Green Lantern, couldn't help but turn to look at Andrew. So you're the unscrupulous capitalist who exploited Flash?
Suddenly, I feel like the Justice League is so dark, what should I do?
"Zatanna."
While Zatanna was complaining, Andrew walked over and whispered, "The situation is not looking good. Can you help us deal with Amunet?"
"It's not that I don't want to help, but I'm no match for Amunet. Her divine power is stronger than mine, and she'll only get stronger as time passes."
Zatanna said helplessly, "Also, the curses on Superman and Green Lantern need my help to dispel."
Andrew said, "You can suppress the curses with magic for a while first, and then slowly help them dispel them after the battle is over."
"This method is certainly feasible."
Zatanna thought for a moment and said, "However, we must find a way to maintain their condition and prevent their situation from worsening."
"No problem, I will protect them with the life pod."
Andrew nodded. He continued, "As for strength, you don't have to worry, I have a way to compensate."
After speaking, Andrew took out a bracer and put it on Zatanna's arm. Zatanna sensed the divine power within the bracer and was greatly surprised: "This is… the divine power of Ares, the God of War?"
"Yes, this bracer contains the divine power of Ares, the God of War."
Andrew first nodded, then said with some regret, "Unfortunately, you have no talent for war, so you can only unleash about thirty percent of the bracer's power."
"I'm good at performing magic, but war, let's just forget about it."
Zatanna shook her head: "With this bracer, I'm confident I can hold Amunet in check."
If Zatanna had a talent for war, it wouldn't be as simple as just holding her back.
"That's enough. As long as we stall for a while, Fiora will be able to return."
Andrew nodded. With so many arrangements, plus the trump card placed on Nick, and Atom ambushing nearby, they should be able to stop Amunet, this princess who has been outdated for thousands of years.
"That's good then."
Zatanna nodded, then, thinking of something, she complained, "You said I was just a magic consultant, but now I not only have to help you dispel curses, but also fight for you. I feel like I've lost a lot."
Andrew smiled upon hearing this and said, "You may lose now, but you might gain in the future, Zatanna. Don't worry, I never let my own people down."
Zatanna felt a little embarrassed. She had been complaining, but in reality, she wanted Andrew to owe her a favor so that she could make a request in the future for Andrew to help save her father.
Obviously, Andrew saw this, but fortunately, he didn't mind.
At this moment, Batman, who had been monitoring the screen, said, "A large flock of crows is flying towards the base. Something feels off."
"Crows?"
Everyone was stunned. Zatanna shouted, "It must be Amunet's doing. Besides controlling zombies, she can also control animals and insects."
"Everyone, watch out for those crows."
Batman issued an alert while controlling the numerous machine guns he had set up to aim at the sky. At the same time, the energy cannons and sonic devices were rapidly activated.
Most of the soldiers and Agents had gone into the city to eliminate zombies, leaving only a few guards in the base. Upon hearing Batman's alert, they immediately took cover in safety facilities and aimed their guns at the sky.
Soon, the crow army descended. Batman, through his equipment, saw miniature explosives tied to the crows' feet. His expression immediately changed, and he urgently shouted, "Shoot immediately! The crows will explode!"
As Batman yelled, all machine guns activated, their bullets densely spraying towards the crow army in the sky. The guards also didn't fall behind, launching their attack at the first opportunity.
Unfortunately, the number of crows was simply too great. Even machine guns couldn't shoot them all down. Soon, a large number of crows crashed into the machine guns and safety facilities, exploding with a roar, and flames quickly spread throughout the base.
This wave of crow attacks directly caused most of the remaining guards to die tragically, unable to perform their duties any longer.
"Controlling crows isn't scary, but adding bombs makes it terrifying."
Andrew shook his head: "It must have been that Alienwho gave Amunet the idea."
"I don't see terrible, I only see cruel."
Wonder Woman said. Just then, a spatial light flashed, and three figures appeared inside the base: Amunet in tattered clothes, Axe Man, and Space Alien.
Amunet said condescendingly, "Humans, I know you've been waiting for me to come. Now I'm here. Are you ready to face Death?"
Andrew rubbed his nose and said with a look of disgust, "That's a bit of a big mouth. How long has it been since you brushed your teeth?"
Amunet's face stiffened, and she turned to glare at Andrew. Then, she shifted her gaze to Nick.
Amunet said, "Nick, why are you with them? As long as the ritual is completed, you will become Death!"
Nick regained consciousness and shook his head, saying, "Would I still be myself then?"
"Both you and Death."
Amunet said, "This is your glory, a glory countless people dream of."
As she spoke, Amunet strode towards Nick. Dianaimmediately blocked her path, then swung Vulcan Swordforcefully at her opponent.
Amunet let out a roar, and the sound waves vibrated, sending Diana flying backward, slamming hard into the wall, which completely caved in.
Andrew covered his nose and commented, "Thousands of years of bad breath, truly terrifying."
Nick and Jenny looked at Andrew speechlessly. Mr. Wangwas really asking for trouble, wasn't he? Was standing next to him really the safest place?
Jenny secretly complained, "His side is actually the most unsafe place, isn't it?"
"The Messenger of Death is indeed not simple."
Diana got down from the wall, just about to counterattack, when Axe Man's axe, as if tearing the heavens and earth, swung forcefully towards her.
Diana hastily raised her shield to block. With a clang, Diana crashed through three walls in a row before finally stopping.
Chapter 589: Fierce Battle
Diana rotated her slightly numb arm and asked Axe Man, who was chasing her, in surprise, "Your strength is much greater than it was during our last fight."
"I am not who I used to be," Axe Man said confidently.
He had merged with the Witch's brother, giving him double the strength, and without further ado, he swung his axe again and attacked.
Diana split into five, simultaneously striking at Axe Man, who, seeing this, controlled his axe to sprout numerous tentacles, sweeping the surroundings, and Diana's illusions quickly vanished.
Diana's gaze narrowed slightly, then a surge of fighting spirit flashed in her eyes; it seemed she had found a good opponent today.
In the hall, after Diana was drawn away, Amunetcontinued to walk towards Nick, and Batman, seeing this, raised his hand and threw several miniature bombs at Amunet.
Amunet waved her hand, and a large amount of yellow sand blasted towards the miniature bombs, which exploded one after another in the air, sending shockwaves across the area.
Just as Batman was about to continue his attack, an energy beam shot towards him; it was the Space Alienlaunching an offensive.
The Space Alien's physique was not strong, but he possessed various high-tech weapons.
Batman quickly dodged, then, with a backhand, threw a Batarang towards the Space Alien.
A defensive shield lit up on the Space Alien, and he said contemptuously, "Mortal..."
Just then, the Batarang hit the shield and exploded with a bang, causing the shield to shake, interrupting the Space Alien's words.
Batman did not stop, continuously throwing miniature bombs to bombard the defensive shield.
The Space Alien was a bit annoyed, teleporting to avoid the miniature bombs, then he raised his gun and continuously fired energy beams at Batman.
Batman quickly dodged, and if he couldn't dodge, he would raise his right hand and use his gauntlet to absorb the energy beams.
This gauntlet was a new product Batman had researched during this period; it could not only absorb energy beams but also the Heat Vision of Kryptonians.
Batman was always improving; Superheroes would not stand still.
While dodging, Batman led the Space Alien towards the courtyard outside; on one hand, he had prepared traps in the courtyard.
On the other hand, the further away he led the Space Alien, the better, to prevent him from teleporting Amunetaway again.
The Space Alien, relying on his ability to teleport and warp, wasted no time and immediately chased after him.
With Batman and Wonder Woman both tied up, Amunetwas unopposed and continued to walk towards Nick, who was so scared he kept retreating.
"Why retreat? Becoming a god is the dream of how many people?" Amunet said.
At the same time, a large amount of yellow sand flew from her body, turning into ropes that bound Nick.
Andrew complained, "Not only is her tone arrogant, but she hasn't bathed in thousands of years; her body is covered in dirt."
Jenny became even more speechless, thinking, 'Are you trying to make sure Amunet kills you? Oh, wait, could this be some kind of tactic, like sacrificing yourself to draw Amunet away?'
Jenny's gaze towards Andrew immediately became respectful, but unfortunately, Amunet ignored Andrew; she pulled out the Underworld Dagger from her waist and quickly walked towards the bound Nick.
Just as Nick was about to be in trouble, a voice rang out: "Firework."
Accompanying this voice, a fireball appeared out of thin air and slammed into Amunet, instantly sending her flying and crashing heavily into the wall.
Then, the flames in the air flew towards the ropes around Nick, and soon, Nick regained his freedom, nodding gratefully to Zatanna.
That's right, it was Zatanna who made the move, and what she just used was her signature skill, backward magic.
Backward magic, simply put, is reciting spells backward, allowing ordinary sentences to affect reality and cast magic.
Amunet got down from the wall, her face cold as she shouted, "Sorceress, you dare to stop the messenger of God?"
"Why wouldn't I dare? This is the world of humans."
Zatanna snorted coldly; meanwhile, Superman and Green Lantern were grabbed by two tentacles and placed into stasis pods.
Their curses were temporarily suppressed, and they were no longer in life-threatening danger.
It must be said that Amunet's curse was terrifying.
"You're asking for Death."
Amunet raised her hands, and a large amount of yellow sand surged forth, transforming into dozens of spears that densely shot towards Zatanna.
"Card Shield."
Zatanna chanted a spell, and three transparent shields appeared in front of her, blocking all the spears.
Then, Zatanna cast another spell, and numerous chains emerged from the void, clanging as they wrapped around Amunet.
Amunet snorted coldly, and the yellow sand, like sharp blades, shredded the chains.
Then, her eyes rolled back, and a large number of mosquitoes and insects flew into the hall, attacking Zatanna.
Zatanna quickly used a dispel magic to drive away all the mosquitoes and insects.
Amunet took the opportunity to press her hands down, and the ground beneath Zatanna turned into yellow sand, causing her to rapidly sink.
Zatanna was greatly alarmed and quickly cast a spell to try and fly up, but to her surprise, countless hands beneath the yellow sand firmly grabbed her, pulling her further and further down.
"You, too, want to fight with the messenger of God?" Amunet scoffed.
Just then, Zatanna raised her hand, and a bolt of lightning flew from her gauntlet, heavily striking Amunet.
Amunet screamed as she flew backward, crashing through several walls before stopping, with a charred crack appearing on her body.
Zatanna took the opportunity to break the magic and fly up; she patted her chest with lingering fear, grateful that Mr. Wang had given her the God of War Gauntlet, otherwise, she might have truly fallen.
Amunet got up, her wounds rapidly healing, and she asked incredulously, "Divine power, why do you also have divine power?"
"Guess?" Zatanna smiled slightly.
The ground began to churn, and numerous vines flew out from the earth, coiling towards Amunet.
Amunet roared, and the yellow sand transformed into a large number of insects that destroyed the vines.
Then, the insects, buzzing, swarmed densely towards Zatanna.
"Fire, fire, fire!" Zatanna continuously cast spells, and a large amount of flames appeared, burning all the sand insects to Death.
Amunet gave Zatanna a deep look; it seemed this opponent would not be so easy to deal with, and she needed to put in more effort.
Seeing Amunet stopped, Nick and Jenny both breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Jenny noticed Andrew holding his phone and filming, and asked in surprise, "Mr. Wang, are you live-streaming?"
"Yes, don't worry, I've blurred out your and Nick's faces," Andrew said.
"Viewers, you must be wondering what that magic battle was all about.
Well, here's the situation: A long, long time ago, there was a princess in Egypt... and now, she has come to complete a mission left unfinished thousands of years ago.
As long as she plunges the dagger into Nick's body, Nick will become Death, and then the entire world will be enveloped in Death.
Thousands of people have already died in Los Angelesbecause of this princess, and now there are still many zombies rampaging through the city."
"fuck, another world-ending disaster? Can't we have a city-ending one to ease up? World-ending ones are too much to handle."
"Counting the time, it's about due.
A world-ending disaster every few months, about as frequent as my wife cheating."
"Uh, brother, can you ask your wife to wait a few months before cheating again?"
The audience, hearing Andrew's words, was filled with shock and anger.
The matter of the Los Angeles zombies had actually spread online, but it wasn't until now that everyone truly understood what was going on.
It was all Amunet's doing.
"Go Superheroes, defeat that mummy!"
The audience frantically flooded the screen, and Andrewoccasionally provided updates on the Superheroes, increasing everyone's fear, and at the same time, making them respect the Superheroes even more.
Nick and Jenny were very puzzled; why was Mr. Wanginterested in live-streaming at this time? What was the point?
Andrew naturally wouldn't explain much.
At this moment, he frowned and looked towards Constantine: The situation there wasn't looking good, and he needed his help.
"Constantine, that guy, is completely unreliable."
At Papa Midnight's bar, Constantine was being surrounded by a group of demons.
He controlled three tentacles to continuously smash demons away while cursing, "Midnight, you actually betrayed me and joined the demons? Aren't you neutral?"
Black Midnight cursed, "You know I'm neutral, yet you bring trouble here?
The moment you thought of that, I couldn't possibly remain neutral anymore.
Either I fight the demons with you, or I fight you with the demons.
Tell me, which should I choose?"
Constantine shouted, "Of course, help me fight the demons; we're good brothers who've gone through thick and thin together!"
Papa Midnight looked disgusted: "I'm not familiar with you, and besides, the demons are paying too much."
"They have a big conspiracy, and once they succeed, everyone will die, including you."
Constantine used nano-particles to form a shield, blocking a fireball fired by a demon, then he shouted loudly, "Helping them now is no different from suicide."
"Perhaps." Papa Midnight shrugged.
He said, "Worst case, I'll escape to another dimension; capable people can survive anywhere.
Speaking of which, where did you get this high-tech equipment? It's worth at least hundreds of millions of dollars; no offense, but you can't afford it."
"Help me, and this set of equipment is yours!" Constantine shouted.
He didn't mind giving away the equipment at all, but he didn't know how to give it, so he'd just let Papa Midnight find that big scammer himself then.
"If it were anyone else, I might have agreed, but with you, forget it."
Papa Midnight sneered; how could he not know what kind of person Constantine was?
Constantine still wanted to speak when a group of demons broke through the tentacles' defense, swinging their weapons to hack at him.
At the same time, several demons pounced on the unconscious Angela, trying to snatch her away.
Constantine cursed and quickly controlled the nano-particles to form an energy cannon to deal with these guys.
This time, he was really screwed over by Papa Midnight.
Papa Midnight rolled his eyes, 'I'm the one who got screwed over by you; this neutral bar can't stay open anymore.'
Papa Midnight sensed the doorway with his mind, and seeing more and more half-demon hybrids getting out of cars and fiercely entering the bar, he immediately shook his head.
Constantine's equipment was indeed powerful, but with so many demons, unless he was willing to abandon the woman he had been protecting, he was dead this time.
Constantine was actually quite contradictory; normally, he was a scammer, known as Zha Kang, but at critical moments, he was very loyal, like now, he would never abandon Angela.
