Volume 9: Fate of Destiny Chapter 48: All-dimensional Mephisto network service suspension notice sent
In the top-floor corridor of the Star Castle, he was in pain all over after having just been mind-controlled and hit by Shazam's lightning.
While cursing, he cast healing magic on himself. He didn't want to think about anything else now. He just wanted to lie here until the end of the world.
Thinking back on his experiences since joining Team K, Zha Kang felt tired.
He used to be such a free, cool and handsome young man, but after getting on Mason's pirate ship, he started to learn from the superheroes and do the work of saving people.
If I could go back to that day!
Zha Kang swore that he would never again be attracted by the beauty of the annoying Catwoman, and be manipulated by his little brother to step into the career trap prepared for him by the cunning Mason.
real!
He vowed that he would no longer follow the guidance of his small head and choose to think with his big head.
"Bang"
The slight sound of breaking glass woke up Zha Kang, who was gasping for breath and swearing countless times in his heart. He opened his eyes blankly and looked around. The gorgeous chandelier above his head was not broken, and there were no stupid children playing with glass balls around.
So what was that sound just now?
"Um?"
The sudden cheers from outside the castle, as if thousands of people were screaming and wailing together, gave Sao Nan a sudden startle.
He jumped up madly and pulled open his left sleeve.
He saw the devil tattoo on his arm fading away little by little, just like washing a tattoo with soapy water. It seemed as if a pair of warm hands were soothing the back of his hand and relieving all the tension and dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Mason succeeded..."
Constantine muttered to himself, then rubbed his eyes vigorously. After confirming that he was not hallucinating due to his serious injuries, a feeling of ecstasy surged in his heart.
He laughed and rushed over, grabbed Franklin's left hand who was resting next to him, and pulled up his sleeve, so that the bad-tempered Franklin could also see the tattoo on his arm disappear.
The young man was equally stunned.
He stretched out his hand and slapped his arm repeatedly, as if he wanted to make the damn tattoo fade faster. He raised his head, blinked, and said to Zha Kang:
"Am I dreaming? Or is this just a stupid hallucination or something?"
"There is a way to prove it!"
Zha Kang grinned evilly and slapped Franklin in the face. The young man raised his head and was about to get angry.
But realize that the pain in your cheek represents reality.
So he laughed like a fool with the red slap mark on his face, and ran while laughing to find his sister and his last relatives to enjoy the moment of freedom.
He was so excited that he lost his shoes.
Zha Kang was not satisfied yet, he turned around to look at the mysterious girl Raven behind him, but when he was about to get closer, he was intimidated by the four eyes flashing red under Raven's hood.
"If you dare to touch me you're dead!"
Damian's ambiguous object said something to the scumbag Kang in a cold and gloomy voice, which made the male wizard come back to his senses immediately. He nodded and bowed to see Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Third Palace off and turned to leave.
He has a background and you can't afford to offend him.
With such regret, Constantine turned around and picked up the lightning staff left by old Shazam after his death in the corridor where he was the only one left. He held it and walked step by step into the entrance of the Shadow Land that he had guarded from beginning to end.
The castle forged by shadows is still there, and the light still shines within it.
Zha Kang looked at the candles that were still burning along the way. Their flickering postures were the same as before, but the contract was invalid. These candles could no longer represent every living life that was controlled.
They have gone from being deadly to being mere ornamental objects.
By the way, after there is no threat to life, it is indeed a pleasure to watch these quiet candles of various shapes burning in this castle shaped by shadows.
This makes you sigh that the popular trends in hell can sometimes match the brain waves of normal people.
“It’s so beautiful.”
In the shadow castle where he was the only one, Zha Kang sighed.
He flicked the last cigarette from his pack, held it between his teeth, tilted his head, and lit it over the nearest candle.
As the first wisp of smoke dissipated, Constantine raised his hand and threw the Wind of Watum forward. The invisible air wave swept across the entire Shadow Castle, extinguishing the flames of every candle along the way.
Let the light fade away and darkness fall.
This seemed to be a chain magic mechanism. The moment the last candle went out, the entire shadow land collapsed and dissipated rapidly.
Constantine, who was leaning on the lightning staff, chuckled and patted the staff with his hand.
He turned and walked towards the entrance to the Land of Shadows. At the last moment before leaving this place, the guy flicked the half-burned cigarette back and waved goodbye in a cool and flirty manner.
"Goodbye, Star Club."
The next moment, he walked out of the shadows and back into the sunlight.
Those scattered shadows have been reassembled into the reflection of the Star Castle in the sun. The warm light shines on Zha Kang, making Sao Nan stretch his body and breathe a sigh of relief.
He looked at the disarmed members of the Star Society who were surrounded by ronin and resistance forces from all walks of life. They were so sad just now but now they were almost going crazy with joy.
Everybody was yelling.
Some of the emotional guys were still crying with their faces covered, and some even hugged the ronin who wanted to kill them just now, but were kicked away by the latter in disgust.
But this still cannot change everyone's mood at this moment.
The devil's pact is gone, they are no longer hounds nor slaves.
Zha Kang squinted his eyes to look at the group of devils dancing in the happy zone in front of him, and then he noticed a few beautiful girls hugging each other to celebrate the end of their terrible career.
The man coughed immediately, pushed the K team logo on his chest, and walked forward with a lightning staff in a gentlemanly manner, and said to them:
"As you can see, girls, I am the chief mage of Team K, and we have just completed an impossible redemption and miracle, so can I take up a moment of your time and buy you a drink?
I know there is a very good bar near Star Castle, the drinks are great and there are very cozy private rooms..."
"That jerk Kang is flirting with girls again!"
On the wall of Star Castle, Blue Beetle used his armor to transform into a pair of telescopes and reported to Barbara, who was stroking her left arm, like a frontline reporter.
Batgirl watched the last bit of the devil tattoo on her prosthetic arm fade away. She recalled her experiences over the past few months and felt a mixture of emotions. Finally, she touched the old ring on her finger.
She said:
"Let him be. I won't tell on him since I'm so happy today. You guys stay here. I need to go back to Gotham."
"Hmm? There will surely be a big party soon. Aren't you going to attend?"
Blue Beetle asked in confusion. Barbara reached out and touched the cool blue helmet on his head and said:
"My sister is going to remove all the prosthetics on my body and replace them with cloned organs so that I can become flesh and blood again... My life of fighting has come to an end, and now it's time to enjoy life.
And I still owe a promise to a man.
Maybe I will get married in a few days, so remember to come and attend. I will introduce some cute girls to you."
"Hey, you can have a sister or something!"
Blue Beetle whistled and cheered as he watched Barbara walk gracefully back to the castle. Farther away, the kite flyer Charles was calling his son with tears streaming down his face.
The weakest member of Team K spoke incoherently, but no one laughed at him.
"Tsk, that's it, so boring!"
Damian, leaning on his sword, said to Xiao Qiao, who was grinning beside him, with an unhappy look on his face:
"I was planning to show my skills in the Star Club, but that bastard Mason's way of doing things is too gentle, soft and without any sense of strength. This is not the Star Club I want.
Hey, how about we two brothers form a stronger organization?"
"Go and kill yourself if you want."
Xiao Qiao crossed his arms and looked at the Star Castle Square, which had become a sea of joy under the sun. He pouted and said:
"I have no interest in this, but I think Mason might have a different opinion on your crazy plan. You'd better consult him first."
At the same time, on the outskirts of Gotham City, far away from Star Castle, on the castle terrace of Wayne Manor, Catwoman was lazily lying on a chair while enjoying afternoon tea.
Although her belly is still flat, she has already changed into maternity clothes in advance, as if she wants to adapt to the future.
The old butler Alfu was serving pastries and hot tea to Selina when he saw Catwoman stroking her slender left arm and crying silently in the sunlight.
"Hormonal changes during pregnancy are an issue that must be paid attention to."
Ah Fu said softly and handed over the handkerchief.
But Catwoman shook her head and said:
"No, Alfred, I am free, the devil's curse is gone, Mason and Bruce did what they promised me, my little brother and my husband snatched me back from the devil.
I just feel...
I feel very happy, can you understand this feeling? Even if I am waiting here alone, I can still feel the care and protection from others.
I don’t need to fight anymore.”
"So, are these tears of happiness?"
The old butler smiled with relief.
He stood beside the reserve Madam Wayne, looking at the sunny world in front of him, and said:
"You won't run away from the marriage again this time, will you? Master Wayne has made a lot of preparations for this wedding. He even plans to officially retire on the day of the wedding.
I have to say, I never thought his story would end this way.”
“There wasn’t one.”
Catwoman snorted, stroking her belly in the sun, and said:
"We should all be thankful for Mason, that magical little guy who always gives everyone surprises quietly. I wonder what he is doing now?
But I guess it must be a very just cause, right? "
…
What is Mason doing ?
It's simple, he is "slandering" in a very righteous way.
Floating on Galactus's shoulder, he suggested to the Great Spirit of the Universe:
“Mephisto has a mental network, Uncle Tun, and all Mephistos in countless planes are connected to it. The one you see before your eyes is just the most cunning and luckiest one among them.
But I am sure that the evil plan to use you was a decision made by all of Mephisto together, so simply strangling this daring devil is not enough to truly wash away your shame.
We should carry out a deeper and more thorough revenge, destroy this mental network, isolate all Mephistos, and force them into the dilemma of killing each other.
Use the Council's evil methods against them.
Scum like this doesn't deserve a happy ending.
And I have come up with a complete plan. I know you are very hungry now, and swallowing those dead planets is not enough to satisfy Galactus' appetite.
so……"
Mason opened his arms and said to Galactus in front of him:
"Before killing Mephisto, let him see the collapse of the Hell dimension that he used as the axis of evil. As a devil, he is bound to the concept of Hell. Only by devouring this scorched land can Mephisto be guaranteed not to revive from the concept of Hell again in the future.
Just like the next step after burying the coffin is to put the nails in.
Eat this burning, spicy dimension and resolve this long-standing feud by swallowing stars. This is the privilege of the victor!"
"You bastard! That's enough!"
The old devil, who was being strangled by Star Devourer and could barely breathe, could no longer bear to listen.
He knew that Mason would definitely not let him go, but when he heard how Mason planned to deal with him, even though the old devil was already a qualified cold-blooded villain, he was shocked at this moment.
What the hell is this hatred and grudge?
It's not enough to kill someone and destroy his heart, you also have to grind his bones and scatter his ashes, right?
However, this proposal was exactly what Uncle Tun wanted. In fact, when he entered this living dimension, he could no longer suppress his hunger for devouring.
The stars in the 2149 world have all died, and the vitality of those worlds has been converted into the energy of death. Although they taste different when eaten, the inability to absorb the life energy is not enough to make the Star Devourer feel full and satisfied.
After all, Uncle Tun eats planets along the way not just to satisfy his own appetite. Even the old devil knows that after Uncle Tun eats enough planets, he will transform into a golden spreader of life.
That is the transition from destruction to rebirth, the manifestation of cosmic laws in Galactus, and the way He uses to maintain the balance of the universe.
The reason why he has been able to hold back his appetite until now is because his hatred for Mephisto has overwhelmed his appetite.
And now, hearing his messenger linking swallowing with victory, urged by this perfect reason, the invincible Uncle Tun no longer concealed his desire.
He roared and expanded his body again, squeezing the entire hell dimension with the compression of his divine power.
Although he could also lie on the ground and gnaw on food in big mouthfuls, that way of eating was too ugly and totally inconsistent with Uncle Tun's temperament as a cosmic god.
He always ate elegantly.
The target world will be compressed into a delicious block of cosmic energy first, and then put into the mouth and slowly chewed and tasted. That is the demeanor that the cosmic gods of the Old Star God Flag should have.
"Mason! I'm just leaving first! You and everything you protect will be reduced to dust in no time. You withstood the impact, but you released something !
You defeat one monster, but you create another.
I'll watch you die miserably in the devil's hell, and I'll laugh at you! Do you hear me?
You are a loser."
Mephisto's resentful roar rang out in the sky. Not only was he roaring, but every devil's node member in the Mephisto network that was about to collapse was roaring.
The scene of thousands of demons roaring is a bit scary.
But at this moment, he was still being held in Tunxing's hands, which made this scene, which should have been full of deterrence, instead full of the sarcasm of "the neighing of a loser".
Mason enjoyed the irony.
As he said, this is the privilege of the victor.
"Mason!"
Professor McGonagall's voice sounded in the communicator, with a serious tone, she said:
"Lady Death's army has set out for the World Gate. Our previous assumption was correct. Galactus may have come only for revenge, but Death, who followed closely behind, obviously wants more.
She's allied with Galactus, and if you get in her way it means Galactus might...
Anyway, be prepared!"
"I'm prepared."
Mason looked down at the flashing signal on the communicator, then stared at the huge god standing tall in front of him. He narrowed his eyes and said:
"You guys hold off the army of death, I'll leave Uncle Tun to me."
