The Death Knell

"Sheriff, they're all gone."

In Sepurk's control room, the adjutant reported this to the death knell who was staring at the strange boxes suspended in mid-air.

Everyone went to check the clues they claimed. Only Superboy-Prime wanted to go to play with his friends, while John Stewart flew to the Green Lantern headquarters.

Black-red light enveloped this spacious hall, and in the fire pit with only a small flame left, the sum ball containing the Upside Down was slowly rotating.

Today's Sepurk and Ghost Universe no longer use Omega energy. Just in case, the energy source has been replaced by witchcraft. The process is very simple. Say the wish you want to realize in reverse sentences, and then force it. Just turn people upside down and do it.

"I promised Harley that I would send her and her friends to race in the world of Mad Max. Let her prepare herself and take Bobo with her." Su Ming sighed while smoking a cigarette and looking at the ball. In one breath: "I have to go to another place to meet the most powerful physicist in the universe."

"Is it the 'Heaven Reed' from Earth X? Or the messy-haired Rick?" the adjutant asked as he prepared to teleport.

Obviously the Sheriff lied to everyone when he told them that he was going on vacation to rest. He was planning to go to some dangerous places by himself.

"Heaven Reed is no longer a scientist, he is a god on earth; as for Grandpa Rick, he lied to me before and said that he could not leave his multiverse, so I don't want to have any more contact with him. Besides, I It’s a physicist, to be specific, the strongest person in quantum physics.”

Deathstroke rejected the personnel proposed by the adjutant. He smiled and pinched out the cigarette, threw the cigarette butt into the fire pit, and watched it emit a wisp of smoke and then disappear instantly.

"Then Sheriff, it seems you have something you haven't told everyone." The deputy informed Harley and the others, and now the little madman is happily choosing a leather jacket.

When going to the world of Mad Max, you must wear a black leather jacket, the kind that lacks one forearm sleeve.

At the same time, there must be a modified car with things like rams, circular saws, and machine guns installed on it.

"Some things are easier to handle with more people, and some things are easier for me to handle alone." Su Ming made some preparations and readjusted the position of the comedian badge on his chest: "Darkseid's world is in a super-time flow. In the uncertain state, do you know what you can’t see after opening your eyes?”

The deputy smiled, and she raised her finger to point at her eyes: "I don't rely on vision to understand the outside world, Sheriff. I have hundreds of modules for interacting with the environment or collecting information."

"It's there when you close your eyes, but it's not there when you open your eyes. There are many answers, because this is obviously a statement linked to 'imagination', so the most likely answers are 'time', 'dream', and 'quantum', They exist, but they are invisible and intangible, which is interesting.”

"Conceptual level?" The adjutant nodded, her long white hair hanging down from her beautiful hat like silk, and rippled with the ups and downs of her head: "It is difficult for me to understand phenomena and concepts that cannot be digitized, but I believe You’re right, Sheriff, where should I send you?”

"North Africa, near Kandak. If I don't come back within three days, contact Wade and Shirley to get me."

With that said, Su Ming poured a bottle of blessing elixir into his mouth and nodded to the puppet to indicate the teleportation.

Khandak is still under reconstruction. Even with a strong leader like Black Adam, he is not a god. The destruction of a city always faces many problems during the reconstruction project.

When Brutus invaded Earth 0, the first place he attacked was here, and it was now afternoon in the United States. For Candak, a country geographically sandwiched between Egypt and Israel, the 14-hour difference was another predawn. The darkest hour.

Everything was completely silent, and the desert looked pure white under the moonlight. Some date palm trees could occasionally be seen at the water source in the distance, but the most eye-catching thing was the pile of ruins.

Statues, fountains, roads, and beautiful houses are essentially all stones. Humans use them to build symbols of civilization, but at this time they return to dust.

There was no electricity or light in the city, and some fires could be seen. People lying near the fires wrapped themselves tightly in blankets or sleeping bags, waiting for the dawn to come in a frowning dream.

Su Ming quietly walked into the ruins of the city and came to the remains of a huge statue.

The aftermath of the battle also destroyed it, and now only one calf is still fixed on the ground, tilted like a sundial.

Reaching out and patting the calf, feeling the cold touch of strangulation, Su Ming read a poem in a medium voice:

"In the sandy silence of Egypt, a huge leg stands, casting the only shadow in the desert. Please listen to this shadow's story. 'I am the great Ochmantis, King of kings, this great city. Record this great achievement of mine'. But where is the royal city now? It was a castle in the sky in the past, but it is an afterimage eroded by the wind today."

"We therefore imagine that one day in the future, a hunter, chasing a pack of wolves through the wilderness that was once London, will also be fascinated to imagine that, looking at the majestic ruins, he will stop and guess that the people who once lived there How prosperous and strong this nameless nation is in a barren land, hidden in history.”

This is a poem by the British poet Horace. He wrote this poem to compare with the famous poet Shelley to see who was more talented.

Both men wrote poems with the same name but different content, taking the remaining legs of a statue in the Egyptian desert as their title. The name of this poem is the name of the pharaoh, Ochmantis.

But this is not the end. Su Ming did not come to North Africa in the middle of the night to admire the moon and recite poems. He came to find people, people related to this poem.

"rustle"

There was the sound of footsteps behind him, and there was no cover. It was just the sound of sandals stepping on the desert. The strangling field of vision could see a 360-degree panoramic view. It was a man approaching from the darkness.

He was wearing golden armor, which shone even under the moonlight, and a purple cloth that served as a cape and cloak. There was not a single grain of sand on it due to the wind and sand.

With blond hair, a slightly smiling face, and a slightly raised chin, he looked very stylish. She wore a thin gold hoop on her forehead, and curved shadow shapes were drawn with charcoal on the corners of her eyes.

"How did you find me? Deathstroke."

"Although you are very good at hiding and seeking, you are not the best at hiding on Earth 0. I only need to guess what your retirement life will be like, and then I can conclude that you will definitely come to Kandak to watch the fun, or rather ,help."

Su Ming turned around, leaned on the remaining leg of the statue, and smiled at the man walking towards him:

"Do you like Egyptian culture, like raising cats, want to observe human suffering, and observe a road called Ochimantis, or do you prefer my code name for you, Pharaoh?"
