The Death Knell

Science tells everyone that the moon itself does not emit light. It is a cold, boring mirror that has nothing to do with romance. It simply reflects the sun.

But in human instinct, or in the concepts hidden beneath the darkness of the world, this is not the case.

There is a strange power in the dim silver light, which uses these to pull the thoughts of some special people, just like the wind pulling the branches, letting everything go as it should.

Just like the sun provides heat, the earth allows all things to grow, and death takes away the soul, these are the rules of the universe.

The same is true for the relationship between the Witching Moon and the sorcerers, at least in the past.

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

Circe was entangled by Wonder Woman and Cyborg from the moment she was attacked, and she didn't even have the chance to distract herself from observing her followers.

Amidst the continuous attacks, she swayed back and forth in the air like a rootless duck, using various witchcraft to ensure that she would not be injured.

Not Diana, her attacks were insignificant and swords could not defeat magic.

What poses a threat is precisely the thing that Circe knows nothing about and scorned in the past - technology. It was the large metal fly that was flying around, buzzing constantly.

In Circe's impression, Cyborg's role in the Zhenglian Alliance was similar to that of a logistics captain. He was either fiddling with computers in the Hall of Justice or cleaning up miscellaneous soldiers outside the battlefield. She had no idea that Cyborg was so strong.

Cyborg's hands and feet have now turned into cannons. There are six cannons protruding from his shoulders, armpits, and waist. When fired, ten beams of light are emitted.

He didn't fire a volley, but kept the fire going in a rhythmic manner.

The energy cannons were thrown around as if they were free, and the density of the beams was frighteningly high. However, Circe did not dare to take any direct hits, and was forced to dodge continuously.

She subconsciously realized that this was all the arrangement of Deathstroke from another world, otherwise Cyborg would never be so clumsy, flying in circles at a remote location and constantly harassing with cation cannons.

Like every talent wearing high-tech armor, Cyborg also has a heart for close combat. In the past, most of the battles were fought with fists. Even though his whole body is covered with energy cannons and micro missiles, and he has a super reactor on his chest, he still has to use his fists.

Circe knew that the intelligence she had collected before was useless, and she had to quickly think of a way to break the situation.

In fact, the fact that Cyborg has become so strong now is actually thanks to Darkseid. Although he controlled Cyborg before, he also upgraded Cyborg into 'Dr. Ping Ping', which greatly improved its software and hardware levels.

At this time, Victor represents the top technological level of Apokolips and has also accepted the transformation of the Alien Box Network. If he was a calculator before with the Mother Box, he is now a super calculator.

His energy is almost endless, the shooting angle and flight path are calculated with extremely precise accuracy, and all kinds of data automatically appear in his mind.

Although he has not hit Circe once so far, Victor is very confident now. He can see from Circe's expression that the other party is very uncomfortable.

That's right, he remembered what Deathstroke said, which was to suppress the opponent and create opportunities for Diana.

As for what the opportunity is, he doesn't know. Anyway, he just listens to the arrangement.

Everything in the battle is controlled by the machine half, so the human half of him can still have random thoughts. For example, at this time, he kept firing and lamented that he had never thought before that he could still hear. Deathstroke commanded a day of battle.

Even though he knew that Deathstroke in different worlds was not the same person, he still felt awkward when he saw the black and yellow armor.

What lunatic would modify someone else's microwave to turn it into EMP? Want to make some popcorn while you're resting at home, but your phone shuts down automatically? That old man Deathstroke can do such a thing.

It was a long time ago that Cyborg went home for a vacation. On the second night of the vacation, he lay on the sofa and watched TV boredly.

In the end, in order to deal with him, Deathstroke hired someone to shoot a popcorn commercial, spent his own money to broadcast it on the TV station, and chose the time period when Cyborg was on vacation. The content of the commercial was a group of football players eating together in the locker room after winning. Popcorn celebration.

This is very tempting for Cyborg, who can't walk when he sees football, let alone his favorite sports star in the cast.

However, the strategy was one after another. The old death knell hired several more salesmen. When Cyborg had just finished watching the advertisement, he came to sell the same popcorn on TV just now. The promotion was that it was delicious and convenient, and could be eaten with a microwave oven. Make a big pot quickly.

Just when he was excited, someone came to sell goods. Cyborg was a young man after all, so he couldn't resist the temptation and bought it.

There is no problem with advertising. After all, TV stations have credibility. There's no problem with popcorn, and he's not afraid of poisoning.

Cyborg didn't think there was any trap, and he didn't want to think about it so much during his vacation.

So he followed the instructions to make popcorn in the microwave. Although he couldn't digest food, he still had some sense of taste. He also wanted to try the popcorn praised by football stars.

As a result, the microwave oven exploded. Deathstroke had already sneaked into his house and modified the microwave oven. It was set to a certain temperature and a certain time to explode. He only targeted Cyborg and did not want to kill innocent people indiscriminately.

So after Cyborg fell to the ground due to EMP, Deathstroke easily climbed in through the window and tore him apart, then captured him and used him as bait to deal with the Titan team.

To be more precise, after Cyborg's residence was known to Deathstroke, he actually lost.

This is the tragic experience of Cyborg's encounter with Deathstroke. Similar situations have happened dozens of times in the past. Everyone in the Titans, except for Donna, who joined the team later, was tortured to the point of mental weakness by the old Deathstroke. Cast a shadow of childhood.

So now Cyborg is in an awkward state, just listen to the command, I feel weird in my heart. But I don’t want to listen, and I don’t dare.

Diana's eyes glanced at McGeeken, who was hiding behind the tree below. He still shook his head at her, saying that he couldn't do anything yet. The phase of March in the sky was still there, and Circe was now in this dimension itself. There was nothing that could be done about it. Sealed into the black diamond.

Using her shield to withstand Circe's counterattack, Diana panted and looked at Deathstroke again. At this time, the man was smoking a cigar and didn't know what he was talking to his cousin. They seemed to be playing with the corpse of the witch boy.

Wonder Woman turned her head and stopped looking. She disapproved of Deathstroke's behavior, but she would not stop it.

Mercenaries have a habit of always searching the body after killing a target. This is just like the Greeks who like to wear sheets and the Romans who like to take baths.

She still focused her attention on Circe, and at the same time tried to find a way to break the opponent's all-round protection.

However, thinking during battle was not her specialty. Facing the chattering Circe, she really didn't know what to do.

'It's better to wait for the death knell to come. ’

With this thought in mind, she once again clenched her sword and shield and rushed towards Circe, but she didn't notice that a light flashed in the witch's eyes...
