Chapter 47 Doomsday Scene

"Bruce, I think you should know this."

Zatanna, one of the members of the Justice League Dark, said to Batman solemnly.

"Mrs. Xanadu foresaw a bad future."

Batman knows who Lady Xanadu is.

That is an immortal prophet. Her eldest sister is the Lake Fairy Vivian who gave King Arthur the Sword of the Lake. Her second sister is King Arthur's biological sister Morgan le Fay. Her nephew betrayed King Arthur and triggered the Battle of Camlann.

of Mordred.

Unlike ordinary prophets, Mrs. Xanadu does not just half-interpret and half-guess the direction of the future, but can accurately "see" the occurrence of a certain future.

Understanding that it was no small matter for Zatanna to take the initiative to mention it, Bruce Wayne nodded gently: "What did she see?"

"She showed it to us. All I can say is, it was a disaster," Zatanna said. "A huge disaster."

The source of the disaster is two people.

A person is like a golden-red sun, making people afraid to face each other directly, so that they can't even see what the person in the light looks like. The other person has black skin, wearing a white robe, and holding a long bow.

, his whole body was shrouded in an ominous black mist, and his appearance could hardly be seen clearly.

They fought first on the ground and then in the air.

Just the aftermath of their attack shattered the buildings on the ground, and when they were shot down from mid-air, they were able to physically penetrate more than a dozen tall buildings in the metropolis before stopping. However, this man was like a superman with a body of steel.

, only to take a short rest before reviving the war drum and going to war again.

Then, the war came to an end.

"The sacred domain is expanded, the space is fixed, and the execution period of divine punishment is set...all approved. With the wrath of Shiva, I will cut off your life here - pashupata, the hand shadow of the God of Destruction!"

"Understand the mercy of the King of Gods. Watch well, O Indra. Destroy, with one stab here. Burn completely - O Sun, submit to death (vasavi shakti)!"

Their spells are supposed to be in a language that the listener has never learned, but somehow they can make people directly understand the meaning, and they can't even tell that the other person is not speaking English at the first time.

After that, the future scene fell into a deep darkness, followed by a gradually brightening to dazzling white light. When all the dust settled, only Metropolis and Gotham were left, almost mostly reduced to scorched earth.

Even the surrounding cities are so devastated that it’s hard to bear to look at them.

And the two people fighting had disappeared.

After listening to Zatanna's narration, Batman thought calmly and asked, "Where was Superman at that time?"

"I don't know why he didn't show up. Could it be that he was trapped by Luther's kryptonite again..." Zatanna pressed her eyebrows with a headache, "Aquaman is also busy controlling the tsunami from happening, and he also has to comfort him.

Citizens worried about rising sea temperatures near the battlefield..."

"Luthor..." Batman frowned, "Do you know the cause of the incident?"

Zatanna sighed: "I only know that an energy crystal opened the summoning channel from another world, and summoned the one with the bow named Arjuna... He seemed to be irrational. Although he could speak, he could not communicate. He was summoned

The purpose is to target another person."

Batman asked: "What did he say?"

"It's not like I can hear everything... But I remember saying, 'This time we must have a fair showdown, Karna'..." Zatanna had a headache, "The obsession is very deep."

In the Indian epic "Mahabharata", Karna and Arjuna are half-brothers, but in a twist of fate, one wanders away and becomes the son of a charioteer, while the other is a god-ordained hero from the beginning, and they also occupy separate

In the final battle, Arjuna, who has always been strict with himself, accidentally broke the rule of "not attacking those who are unable to fight". When Karna was cursed, his wheels were stuck in the ground and he was unable to move.

At that time, Arjuna shot Karna to death.

In fact, it would be fine just to win, but even after losing his mind, he still insists on fighting again in an fair and just manner. How grudged is this Arjuna about his behavior in that decisive battle...

Whether it was regret or some other reason, Zatanna, who didn't know either of them well, didn't know, but she did feel Arjuna's obsession.

"...I know." Batman already had a formed guess while listening, "I will go investigate."

"No, I'm telling you this, I just want you to prepare first, because the divination says it's best to tell you, but you'd better not get involved. This is a matter on our magic side... The Justice League Dark has already followed the divination's instructions.

Go investigate." Zatanna said, "Maybe Constantine will find clues now."

***

When Jason asked why he appeared in Blüdhaven, Constantine, who didn't expect to have met the target person, was a little bit pained, but he could only pretend as if nothing had happened.

"Ah? I was just passing by. I saw the magic traces left here. It was interesting. So I stood here and studied it. Then I became very interested in the things that caused the magic traces. Why, can't I?"

Although they are not sure of the cause, they all agree that the person named Karna cannot be allowed to get close to the energy crystal. It is obvious that the energy crystal is targeting Karna. If Karna stays away from it, he may not be able to get close to it.

Another person will be specially summoned to deal with Karna.

Constantine also didn't expect to meet one of the two people who destroyed the world so easily. While he speculated on the other person's character, he concealed his purpose and tried to mislead the other person not to find the person earlier than he did.

Energy crystallization.

Jason's mouth twitched when he heard Constantine telling lies sincerely. He didn't need Karna to know that this must be a lie, okay?

Qiye said nonchalantly: "It's okay even if your goal is that thing from the beginning. Everyone is free to do whatever they want."

Constantine: "…………"

"But why did you go out of your way to find traces of that thing? I'm very curious about it." Qiye turned the question into a statement.

Unexpectedly, in the foreseeable future, he turned Metropolis and Gotham upside down, attracting the serious attention of the Justice League Dark. Qiye really wondered why Constantine appeared here.

You must know that if he were not familiar with the Holy Grail fragments, he would not notice the weak magic power fluctuations here that would disappear in a day. In theory, Constantine should not care about it, so

The only possible explanation is that he came here in the first place.

Constantine changed the subject without changing his expression: "We've been ringing the doorbell for a long time, but no one has come to open the door. Could it be that something happened?"

As he spoke, Constantine directly unlocked the door and walked in, thus avoiding Qiye's too penetrating eyes.

"Hi, is anyone there?"

There was still no reply, and now Jason was a little worried: "I'll go upstairs and take a look first."

"Wait a minute!" Jason ran out before Constantine finished speaking. Constantine didn't know the true identity of the Bat family, so he didn't know the new Jason. He asked Qiye directly, "What happened to this kid?"

thing?"

Do you think you are Batman, and you are carrying a minor with you when you are doing something?! You have to know that in most cases this kind of brat will only cause trouble! Although the possibility is very low, what if there is some triggering magic on it?

Qiye didn't think there was any danger, but because Dick handed Jason over to him, he couldn't let anything happen to Jason, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain to Dick, so he had to catch up with Jason, leaving Constantine, who was ignored, standing there.

land.

"...what the hell!"

Constantine was afraid that Qiye would find some clues before him, which would lead to a recurrence of the tragic scene in the future, so he could only follow him with two legs.

On the second floor, Constantine saw Qiye and Jason standing motionless at the door of a room, and that room was the place with the most obvious magic aura. He approached cautiously and followed them into the room.

"……I see."

Constantine put out his cigarette butt: "The illusion that appeared in this city was the dream of this old man..."

Probably because this old man often suffers from insomnia and catches up on sleep during the day, those hallucinations also appear during the day.

Originally, Constantine was worried about whether there would be any magic traps in this house. Now that he saw that the owner of the house was an ordinary person, he was relieved... But everything was gone, and the remaining energy could make the old man's dreams come true.

The appearance of Bludhaven shows that that thing is really powerful, and it must be found as soon as possible.

The doorbell had rang for a long time without any response, but now he was surrounded by three people at close range. The old man's sixth sense finally woke him up.

As soon as he opened his eyes and saw a stranger standing at the head of his bed, he suddenly woke up: "Who is it!?"

"Excuse me, I don't mean any harm. I'm just a passing exorcist. I thought your house was a bit strange, so I came in to take a look." Constantine skillfully held down the excited old man, "I also mean well, so don't worry about it.

It’s the details.”

Jason came forward and asked with the advantage of being a child: "Grandpa, has anything strange happened at home recently?"

The old man was helped to sit up in shock. He originally wanted to call the police directly, but when he heard Constantine say that he was an exorcist, his eyes wandered again: "You...are you really an exorcist?"

As he spoke, the old man looked at Qiye, a handsome and cold-looking man, and the kid who was obviously underage.

"..."

I always feel like this combination is a bit fishy.

Constantine really wanted to pretend that he didn't know Qiye and the others, but at this time saying that they were not the same group would only complicate the situation, so he had to use his outstanding verbal charm that he had practiced for many years to convince the old man to believe him.

"Have you ever placed something in this room? Since that thing disappeared, your health has improved and there have been fewer strange things."

The evil old man who had already believed Constantine nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, the piece of oriental jade I bought is very beautiful, but since I bought it, I feel that my body has become very weak and haunted, so I

Give it to the auction house that sold it to me for re-auction."

As he said that, the old man took out a photo album from the bedside table, found the jade one and pointed it out to them.

Jason listened to the old man's words and looked at the color of the jade in this photo, and a familiar feeling came to his heart.

I always feel like...this is a bit like...kryptonite...

Thinking of this, Jason turned to look for Krypton, only to find that this Kryptonian dog with the same weakness as Superman had not entered the room at all, but was squatting outside the door to watch them because he was worried about them.

Jason: “…………”

Jason walked out and squatted down and asked softly: "Do you understand what I'm saying? Is there any kryptonite residue in this room?"

Xiao Krypton nodded.

"..." Jason held his forehead, "Thank you, I understand."

Damn it, your health can be healed. Kryptonite has radiation! It’s not only effective for supermen. Ordinary people will also have a short life if they stay with Kryptonite for a long time! But I haven’t heard that Kryptonite also has magical fluctuations?

What's going on?

Qiye, who saw the exchange between Jason and Xiao Krypton, understood.

It seems that the fragments of the Holy Grail this time are attached to kryptonite... But where does the pheasant auction house sell kryptonite as jade? Master, have you been deceived?

Constantine hadn't noticed the problem yet and continued to ask the old man: "Is this jade still in the auction house?"

The old man shook his head: "I just sold it yesterday. The buyer was anonymous and the price was quite high... I didn't expect it to be so fast, because I clearly said that this jadeite was a bit ominous..."

"Maybe he's a good person in this area. The more mysterious and ominous the more interested he is." Constantine asked for the name and location of the auction house and sent it to Zatanna, intending to ask his companions to find out who bought it.

Gone is Jade.

After asking what he wanted to know, Constantine relied on his last bit of conscience to reassure the old man that the matter had been solved and all the strange phenomena would disappear by tomorrow at the latest, allowing him to live in peace without worrying, and then left.

After leaving the door, Constantine lit a cigarette and said, "Okay, since the old man is fine, I'm leaving."

It was as if he had come specially to solve the old man's problem.

Jason hinted Qiye not to speak, and once Constantine left, he said: "Don't worry about him, let's go investigate Luther first."

It was related to kryptonite, anonymous, and the price was very high. Jason, who was sure that the inventory of kryptonite in the Batcave had not increased recently, said that anyone who did not investigate Luther first would be a fool.
