The Death Knell

Finally, with the tireless efforts of the Red Dragon Queen, a small hole was finally burned out of the door.

It's not big, about the same size as a baseball. Constantine frantically designed a one-meter-thick anti-magic gate, and also carved various protective runes and blessed various magics. It has been delayed for too long.

This was also thanks to the fact that there were young apprentices like Man-Bat and Khalid in the warehouse. If it were the Demon Governor or the wizard Sargon, she estimated that it would take her at least a month to open this door.

However, there is no if.

In the darkness, Circe raised her hand and threw the laughing golden pioneer out. The powerful magic directly pressed the opponent into the wall and merged into one, as easy as putting strawberries into yogurt.

She didn't pay attention to who else jumped at her next instead of the golden pioneer. A contemptuous smile appeared on her face and she raised a hand.

Black diamonds flew from the hole in the door, and the eclipse inside was still making curses and strange screams.

The special black fragments passed through the blazing dragon's breath and flew towards Circe's free hand with flecks of firelight.

The energy of witchcraft is chaotic and violent. The use of spells and handprints to cast spells is the rule imposed by order on witchcraft.

Primitive witchcraft and magic do not require rules. They still exist in disorder and have the essence of chaos.

Changing reality with thoughts is the core of magical energy.

For example, the gods do not need spells to exert their divine power. Electricity, water, fire and wind seem to be at their fingertips. That is the most primitive aspect of witchcraft, which only requires a thought.

And Circe has now touched the threshold of becoming a god. She no longer needs spells and hand seals. As long as she thinks boldly, witchcraft will be as she wishes.

This feeling was great. Seeing that the black diamond was about to fall into her hands, Circe became more confident about her next plan.

The previous teaming up with Luther was nothing more than taking advantage of each other. The bald team needed a mage, while the witch needed a target in front to attract attention.

Cooperation between the two parties is good for you and me.

But now that Perpetua has become a success, Circe needs to leave some backup for herself, and this backup is Eclipse.

She saw that the Legion of Destruction might be going down the old path of killing rabbits and dying dogs, so she didn't want to fall into the same fate, so she naturally wanted to show a power worthy of Perpetua's high gaze.

The Mother of the Multiverse always needs someone to do some chores for her, so... she shouldn't mind replacing the useless bald scientist with a powerful god of witchcraft, right?

Circe was born in the ancient Greek era, when wars between city-states were constant. She had long understood the cruelty of reality and the value of strength.

And that was also an era when philosophers and thinkers emerged in large numbers, as a philosopher once said.

'When you're being hunted by a bear, you don't need to outrun it, you just need to be able to outrun your friends...'

This is the reason now, she wants to be stronger than Luthor so as to survive the elimination purge that may come.

It is unrealistic to rely on cultivation to improve your strength again in a short period of time. It can be achieved by relying on external objects.

Becoming the host of Celestial Eclipse is a choice. Celestial Eclipse is the former wrath of God, and wrath is disordered and chaotic, and its attributes are very consistent with primitive witchcraft and magic.

She has also made various preparations so that she can maintain her mind and will and control her body and strength when she is parasitized.

Luther became a half-human, half-Martian monster, but it was just one of Perpetua's many creations. When the Mother of Diversity saw that she had become the God of Witchcraft, she would naturally turn the useless creations Abandoned.

This was Circe's plan. She had long seen that Perpetua only needed a god by her side.

Long ago the goddess created the three gods, the Monitor, the Anti-Monitor, and the Forger of Worlds, who later overthrew her. Perpetua would not make the same mistake again.

Seeing the black diamond in the sky flying closer and closer, Circe smiled and controlled it to slow down. She didn't want to be cut by its sharp edge now. After all, she had to prepare before she could accept the parasite.

However, at this moment, a black shadow suddenly flew out from the red dragon's flames and hit the black diamond in mid-air.

The thing relaxed, rolled up the black diamond, and disappeared in a swish. It was a very strange teleportation technique that even Circe had never seen before.

Her smile froze, and murderous intent and anger instantly ignited in her eyes.

"Who?! Who ruined my plan?! Come forward! Courageless rat!"

She was swaying her magic around like a madman, like a sprinkler system on a lawn. The purple magic beams were fired randomly like no money, sweeping away the smiling people one by one.

However, no one answered her, not to mention standing up and admitting that she had taken away the black diamond.

"The door is open, where is my reward Diana?"

The red dragon queen's huge head came closer at this time. The strong smell of sulfur in her big mouth made Circe want to vomit, and the witch's expression became even more gloomy.

How could she have the time to help Red Dragon capture Diana? It never occurred to her to be paid...

However, the magic resistance of dragons is extremely high, and the Red Dragon Queen is a rare dragon wizard. Only Grandi among himself and others can deal with it. However, when we fight together, Grandi completely disobeys orders. It is really troublesome. .

Circe has always been a loner and has never led a team. Her leadership ability can be said to be negative. Faced with this situation where she can't lose her strength, she can only quickly think of how to delay it.

However, at this time, the elevator came down again, and a large group of laughing weirdos still came out, swarming under the command of Laughing Gordon.

"You stop these madmen first, and I will help you catch Diana. I know where she is." Circe had an idea and ordered the Red Dragon Queen to resist the line, and then used a teleportation magic to take away all the members of the witchcraft team. , disappeared in place.

Yes, she still has to track down the whereabouts of the black diamond, so let’s just sell it to the Red Dragon Queen.

Gordon, who was resting and smoking against the wall next to the elevator door, blew out a smoke ring, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out. Circe and the sorcerers left. A red dragon couldn't stop so many superheroes.

Very well, many of the magic items that the Laughing Bat wanted were in the burned-through warehouse, and now they are all his.

"Kill me! Hahahaha!!!"

After calling on the others to come forward, Gordon also took out his small pistol from his windbreaker and kept shooting at the red dragon. Of course, even the scales couldn't make a mark, only a little spark could be seen and a sound could be heard. .

But it also made him very happy, even overjoyed.

However, just as the laughing madmen killed the Red Dragon Queen and were about to break into the warehouse, a figure suddenly appeared in the reception room, and the blue light representing the transmission gradually solidified, wearing a purple and green mecha. Luther appeared expressionless.

The battle between Circe and her group and Gordon's gang of lunatics destroyed the barrier in the living room of the Justice League Dark headquarters, allowing Luthor to enter easily.

"The experiment begins and the antidote type 1 is released."

He didn't even look at the laughing madmen, he just gave orders to the armor's computer, and the mecha's many muzzles emitted purple smoke like chimneys. The heroes around him who inhaled the smoke suddenly lost their minds. Smiling, slowly falling.

A few months ago, the Joker teamed up with Luther and defeated the Legion of Destruction with custom-made laughing gas in a gift box. After escaping, Luther collected the remaining laughing gas components in everyone's body and developed a Universal Adaptability Anti-Joker Serum'.

Not long ago, he obtained new samples from the defeated Laughing Family, studied the Laughing Bat virus, and successfully found the similarities between the two. He became the first person in the multiverse to crack the Laughing Virus. .

The Laughing Virus is very similar to the Joker Virus, except that it has a strange dark energy factor. Luther only needs to let the antidote neutralize these dark energies, and then use the method of dealing with the Joker's laughing gas to easily solve the problem.

Yes, the key issue lies in customization. If the Laughing Bat wants to control these heroes, the poison it inflicts on them must be customized, which means it will fit each person's genetic profile.

Luthor has a backup of the genetic samples of everyone in the Justice League. If the Laughing Bat were to infect ordinary people, Luthor might not be able to find a solution so quickly, but infecting registered superheroes? Baldhead can easily develop a targeted antidote.

What Batman couldn't do, Luthor did, because he is the smartest man among humans.

Laughing Gordon covered his mouth and nose when he saw this, turned around and slipped into the elevator to escape, but Luther had no intention of chasing him.

He only came here because the last time he invaded the surveillance system he secretly left in the Hall of Justice, he discovered the existence of a group of lunatics, so he came to experiment with the antidote.

Moreover, he needs someone to report to the Laughing Bat, letting him know that he has the antidote, so that he can avoid bothering him again.

This is a deterrent. It is hard to say whether it can neutralize the virus in the Laughing Bat, but the Laughing Bat will definitely be worried about it.

He has finally been happy for so long and has seen the true colors of the world. He will not be willing to change back to the expressionless Batman...

Luther stepped forward and even leaned over the hole in the warehouse door to take a look inside. Khalid and Man-Bat huddled together in the warehouse and shivered.

Luther left them with a ferocious smile and left slowly.

He has no interest in the magic items in the warehouse. He didn't want to kill any of the unconscious heroes on the ground.

Beating an actor takes place on the stage, not in the dressing room.

He was going to defeat Superman and the Justice League head-on in front of everyone, and now he was killing these people in a dark basement? Then who will witness his greatness then?

So he reduced his size, examined several unconscious people, and drew some blood to prepare for further research.

After all, the first type of antidote still needs to be inhaled by the infected person. If the other party's gas mask is not effective, he has to research the second type of antidote before Kuangxiao improves the virus. It is best to be colorless and odorless.

It's a pity that the Laughing Bat is too cautious. It would be great if we could get his blood sample...

"Brainiac, teleport."
