The Death Knell

In the more than two months since Death Knell disappeared, a lot has happened. The earth and mankind are now on the verge of self-destruction.

Thanks to the help of many Justice Leaguers in the multiverse, the main world is still holding on, but Luthor and the Laughing Black Hand always stretch out from unnoticed corners from time to time, leaving the heroes exhausted.

And while everyone is focused on dealing with more realistic, material threats, the witch Circe begins her plan.

Hecate, the goddess of magic, was devoured by the Upside Down, and the white-scaled monster took her place as the concept of magic in the multiverse, but that's not all, witchcraft is not dead.

At that time, Hecate did not fully regain the power she had stored in the Witch's Moment. Although the energies of Witchfire, Black Orchid, and the god Dawn were withdrawn by her, when she died at the hands of the Upside Down, Apart from a part of this energy being transformed by the Upside Down, the rest flowed to the remaining two mark holders.

There are still two people who bear the witch's moment.

One is Diana, the energy of witchcraft still exists in her body.

Because of the agreement with Deathstroke, the Upside Down couldn't do anything to Diana, and she was not a spell caster at all, so the Upside Down regarded her as some kind of special container, and as long as she was still under supervision, they would let it go. It's natural.

There is another owner of the Witch's Moment, the witch Circe. She carried out a series of plans and also benefited from the death of Hekate.

If the energy of witchcraft was divided into six parts before, then now Diana holds one part, the Upside Down has devoured two parts, and Circe, plus her own original power, now holds three parts.

She became the new god of witchcraft.

The Upside Down Man absorbed and transformed the two powers of Hecate, and coupled with his original strength, he should have completely crushed Circe, but when Pepatua behind Circe woke up, things were completely different. .

The multiverse that everyone sees so far, that is, the small system formed by plus or minus 104 earths, was actually created by Pepatua. It is not an exaggeration to call her the creator god.

Now the offense and defense have switched, and it has become a reverse. People are defending their own interests. It has been quite difficult recently to deal with the concept of witchcraft transformed into invaders. The invaders in the past have become today's kings. There are completely things that need to be thought about. It’s different.

Pepatua helped Circe master many strange abilities, and also created an army composed of concepts and witchcraft to attack everywhere.

The Upside Down can only find Diana and ask her to help find a way. While it is fighting against Circe and Pepatua, it is best to find a permanent solution.

What can Diana do? Although she nominally leads the Justice League Dark, she can't cast a single spell. Although she has some magic knowledge and good magic resistance, she is still essentially a warrior.

She had no choice but to find Constantine, who seemed to be doing nothing every day. Constantine gave the suggestion to recruit people and then divide the troops.

He went to find the swamp monster and the dead man himself, and then the three of them went to squat at the Miracle Tree where enemies frequently appeared recently. He also took the time to teach magic to the human bat.

It was the one that gave Man-Bat the quick instruction video he made back then, and he became a master of the dark arts in a few hours.

Most people had their souls taken away when they watched the video and tried to make a deal with the devil in hell. Before, of the hundreds of thousands of people who tried, only one Arabella survived.

But now there is one more, and Man-Bat has succeeded.

He was originally a very good biologist, but he didn't expect to have great potential in magic. He changed his profession and became a magician, gaining the ability to cast spells.

In fact, it was the devil opposite who was unlucky. He agreed to exchange the human soul for spellcasting ability, but the ability was given away. When the devil came to collect the bill, he discovered that the transaction object was not a human, but a big bat, and he was dumbfounded.

At this time, Constantine jumped out and said that he could use a supplementary agreement. Why not pay for it with the souls of passers-by?

The devil knew Constantine, so in order not to be deceived again, he got off the donkey and took away a human soul who was holding a sign in protest outside the Hall of Justice and returned to hell.

Constantine had long been accustomed to killing an innocent person. Faced with the confused look of the man-bat, he also said: "I know that all of you who are bats are dark enough. You are born to learn magic. You slipped away." , if you need sacrifices, just use the people protesting outside the Hall of Justice, it’s quite convenient.”

Then he left Man-Bat to guard the Dark Alliance headquarters located under the Hall of Justice, and escaped with Swamp Thing and the Dead Man.

Diana went to find Zatanna, who was recuperating at home after transforming from a fish-man. The two planned to go to Bobo to borrow the night blade, and they went to Maia's big library to look for clues.

Before Deathstroke left, he left a magic defense system to the world, transformed the pillar formation under the old Mount Olympus, and used the tree parliament of Central America, plus the Rock of Eternity itself, to form a new triangular structure.

At this time, Circe's witchcraft army is attacking these three nodes, and the Upside Down cannot hold out against Pepatua for long. It urgently needs more efficient means of using magic.

Constantine asked Diana to go to Maia to find records of goblin magic. After all, it was another magic system that existed in the world.

Diana couldn't let the magic world's defenses collapse, so that's why she and Zatanna showed up at the bar, only to find Bobo drinking heavily when they arrived.

............................

"I would also like to ask him what's going on." Diana clenched her fists, as if she wanted to strangle Su Ming to death from a distance: "But he's not here, so Bobo, hurry up and use the night blade to open the door to the door. For Asia’s passage, we need fairy magic.”

"Have you never thought about why Constantine doesn't let you go to hell to borrow help? Obviously the heaven and hell system is more mainstream than the system of goblin magic that requires blood." Bobo still didn't move, no matter what Diana said, He was still holding the coffee cup.

Diana rubbed the Vulcan Sword with the black hair on Bobo's head: "I don't care, I've been very upset in the past two months. If you don't obey, I will shave your hair."

"It's useless even if you kill me. Maia's situation is not as simple as you think. You don't know how much power it holds on a metaphorical level." Although Bobo said he would rather die than surrender, he still turned his head away from Diana. The sword moved away.

The Vulcan sword was so sharp that it would not be an exaggeration to say that it broke the hair of the orangutan. Maybe it was because of the breath she exhaled when she put the sword on the orangutan's head and spoke that the orangutan had a Mediterranean hairstyle in a few seconds.

Zatanna swayed back from the bar and raised a hand to rest on the counter: "Actually, she doesn't know, but I know."

"You still want to go if you know? You should leave and wait until Deathstroke comes back to see what he says. After all, he is the contractor of the Upside Down, isn't he?" Bobo put down the coffee cup, his eyes a little dodgey.

Zatanna, who had been looking sad just now, suddenly smiled. She took out a sword with glowing blue light from her windbreaker: "What do you think this is?"

The orangutan shrank his eyes and immediately touched his jacket pocket, only to find that the Night Blade that was inside had disappeared. Zatanna had stolen it at some point.

Bobo hates magicians who have been stage magicians. Zatanna, like her father Zatara, is a born thief.

When performing a show, they talk about teleportation, taking away the audience's watches or wallets, etc. In fact, it is all real theft. Unfortunately, Bobo is not a magician yet, so he is not aware of this method at all.

"You're a bad learner, Xiao Dai."

The orangutan's brain is still very useful, and he immediately realized how things happened.

Diana sharpening a knife on the ape's head is really just a distraction, like a scantily clad magic assistant on stage. And just as the orangutan dodged the blade, Zatanna took the opportunity to activate her magic and steal the Night Blade, the key to the passage.

The Queen of the Amazons put away the Vulcan Sword and picked up the shield from the bar. The sound of the metal scraping against the wood seemed so brisk. She smiled sheepishly at Bobo. There was nothing she could do about it.

Since Bobo didn't want to act with them, he wouldn't force it, but going to Maia was a plan that had been made long ago, and no one could stop him.

"Give me the sword back quickly!"

Bobo jumped up from the bar stool and tried to reach the sword in Zatanna's hand, but she raised her hand so high that the orangutan's height and jumping ability were completely out of reach.

"If you dare to crawl along my body, I will tell everyone in the magic world that you molested me, and your bar business will be completely over."

Not only did she hold up her sword to prevent the orangutan from snatching it back, Zatanna also showed off her beautiful legs in fishnet stockings and straightened her chest in a low-cut corset to intimidate him.

Bobo grinned suddenly. As an intelligent orangutan, he always regarded himself as an equal creature to humans. When facing a scantily clad witch like Zatanna, he really couldn't do anything.

He was bound by his own moral concepts, and for a moment he could only gasp and gasp: "This is a bad idea, Xiao Zha."

Zatanna didn't answer, and swung the sword behind her with her backhand.

The blue night blade opened a gap in the air, like cutting a gap in the space of the bar, and bright sunlight and the smell of earth flowed out of the gap. Under the invisible power, this gap The gap grew larger and larger, gradually turning into a hole and a door.

On the other side of the passage is the magical country of Maia, a magical country located in the single dimension closest to the main dimension.

Zatanna and Diana also high-fived in celebration. They walked into the white light with smiles on their faces while holding the night blade they snatched from Bobo.

"Can't they understand human speech?"

Bobo sighed and complained to Tracy, who came out of the wine cellar after noticing the movement. Diana had no brains, and Zatanna had no brains when it came to what Constantine said. It was really terrible.

Tracy shrugged, picked up the rag on the bar and dusted it symbolically: "I guess they don't want to hear the apes talk."

"It's true that women are crazy..." Bobo raised his hands and rubbed his face. The skin flakes between his black hairs were turned out, which fully showed how upset he was.

The Night Blade was stolen. He couldn't watch Jim's relics being taken away by two women. He had to get it back.

Tracy put her hand on her waist, put on the little detective hat on one side of Bobo, and smoothed his hair with a smile: "Does it seem like you only acted with them a few times before you were able to see through the true nature of a hero? Someone really gets to know you, huh?"

Bobo breathed a sigh of relief and motioned for her to hand over a bottle of wine. He put the bottle into the pocket of his plaid suit: "I can only say that your father is much gentler than you, even when he burned the infidels with fireballs... ....Hold your ground, kid, and I'll take care of some shit."

The transmission channel was not closed, and Zatanna didn't know how to use the night blade at all. Bobo followed in with a sigh.
