The Death Knell

The four of them chatted around the small table, and Doom recounted what had happened before and his thoughts in detail.

Su Ming just listened quietly, nodding or making a sound of agreement from time to time.

In fact, in comparison, he is much more assured about Doom than Reed, because the former has weaknesses and the latter has flaws.

Doom's greatest weakness is his mother, or rather, his mother's soul.

When he was a child, his mother unleashed an unaffordable amount of magic to protect the village from government forces, causing her soul to be taken to Hell by Mephisto.

In order to save her when he grew up, Doom not only went to the United States to learn high technology, but also learned high technology from the military and defected to Nepal, where he specialized in magic and tried to enter hell to negotiate with Lao Mo in exchange for his mother.

However, although his mother had wiped out more than a thousand government troops with one spell, which was very impressive for a gypsy who had not received systematic magic education, the price she paid was not only her own life, but also the entire village. 77 children besides her son.

Sacrificing so many pure souls in exchange for power instantly degraded this woman's soul to the extreme, making her a treasure even for the devil.

Lao Mo didn't want to let him go, and Doom had a bad temper and wouldn't say anything nice. As a result, the two naturally broke down.

After all, the contract was established at the beginning, and the woman's soul is already in the possession of the Lord of Hell. If you can't ask me to hand it over, I will give it to you. Does the Lord of Hell have no face?

There are more than a dozen hell lords who live off the souls of humans on Earth. The melee between hells continues, and anything that damages their prestige cannot be done.

What's more, resurrecting the dead is taboo. Any hell lord who possesses the soul of the dead can only be regarded as a 'holder'. The person who can really decide the final destination of the soul is 'death'. Mephisto's unwillingness to hand over the soul is understandable.

That hell is Lao Mo's territory, where many rules can be modified by him, and non-existent things can be shaped by his will.

So Lao Mo played a trick on Doom, kicked him out of hell, and then banned him from entering again.

Since then, Dr. Doom has been studying how to enter Lao Mo's hell and how to steal his mother's soul. The two sides battled with wits and courage, just like a farmer and a melon thief, fighting to cover up the water and the earth.

Lao Mo's defense on his own territory was airtight. Doom tried all the methods commonly used by sorcerers, and even made deals with other hell lords, trying to get through without success.

In the end, he had no choice but to think that since magic didn't work, he would try using technology.

However, scientific research requires ideas. Although he is the dictator of Latvinia, his accumulation is not as good as SHIELD that existed decades ago. He has never been able to find a reasonable and stable research direction.

Until not long ago, when he was habitually spying on his old enemy, he accidentally saw the new invention Reed was working on, and he immediately realized that this was an opportunity.

When Reed researches the dimensional equipment, he can copy it, go home and make a set himself and modify it a few times. Then he can save his mother, right?

However, giving Reed a chance was useless!

The experiment failed as expected, and the out-of-control rift seemed to kill many people. This was a typical Reed style, and he did not care about the consequences at all when conducting experiments.

But Doom couldn't let him die. After all, only Reed knew how to travel through dimensions through technology. At least until he figured out how to open a stable dimensional channel, he must not die.

So at the critical moment, he used magic to teleport to the test object that was about to explode, preparing to send this dangerous rift away. However, because Susan applied a protective transparent force field around it, the two collided.

By mistake, although the rift was thrown into the universe by Doom's space magic, he and Susan were also involved in the negative space.

When they arrived here, the 'welcome' they received was much warmer than the welcome received by Deadpool and Deathstroke.

Can you imagine what it would be like in a city where all the creatures have octopus faces and turn to look at outsiders with moist, dark eyes at the same time?

Susan had never seen such a thing before. Although she occasionally helped SHIELD with a little help and had a secret agent identity that her husband didn't know, she could only deal with some underground creatures, such as minotaurs and goblins. Lin or something.

Where has she seen such a thing as the Old Familia? I almost went crazy on the spot.

Although Dr. Doom had trouble with Reed, he had never been in the habit of taking advantage of other people's families. He immediately recognized those octopus faces as real fairies, and then simply eliminated them from a human standpoint.

Even though the magic he can use here is very limited, he is still wearing a technological suit, and he also has weapons such as micro-missiles and high-energy lasers.

It is not easy to deal with the real fairy who uses stone tools and bows and arrows as his main weapons. The biggest advantage is that he can fly.

After blowing the entire city into rubble, he found his way to the underground control room through magic and hid with Susan.

He originally planned to find a way out, but as long as he left the floating land for a certain distance, there would be endless carnivorous insects rushing over without thinking.

After Doom experimented several times and determined that the bugs would not approach the city, he decided to borrow a boat to sail.

He could make some robots to help with manual labor, but he had to rely on himself to reverse the technology tree that he was completely unfamiliar with, so the progress in trying to drive this land to move was not fast.

But he is very persistent and keeps working hard.

In fact, at first, Susan believed that her husband would come to save her. If Reed didn't come, Johnny would urge him to come.

But a year passed, and her family didn't come. Although Doom didn't say anything, she was still deciphering the city's secrets in an orderly manner, but when she saw the mocking eyes behind his iron mask, she couldn't say anything.

Two years have passed and no one has come. Even Doom no longer laughs at her, because she has also recognized the reality. It is impossible for her family to come.

In the third year, Susan and Doom have become good friends. Doom is busy doing research in various laboratories every day, looking for ways to escape the two of them. And she consciously took over the logistical tasks, such as growing some food, purifying some drinking water, cooking and cleaning, etc.

She was even ready to spend the rest of her life with Doom here.

But before the fourth year, the brothers Deathstroke and Deadpool appeared. While Susan breathed a sigh of relief, some strange feelings emerged in her heart. She thought that she might be able to leave soon, and thought of these and Vic. We spend many days together, and our hearts are full of mixed feelings.

"Brother, do you think we are ruining other people's good things by coming here?"

Deadpool covered his mouth and whispered in Deathstroke's ear. His instinct told him that the married woman in front of him was a little ambiguous with the man in the iron mask.

This was a skill he learned from wandering among flowers. He could tell at a glance which woman was interested in him. Even if wives are not in his hunting range, it does not mean that he is blind.

Su Ming gave him a look and asked him to sit still and watch his operation.
