The Death Knell

"Huh... It's just in time for dinner. Just in time, we can start today's topic."

In the magnificent castle in the capital of Latvinia, Su Ming sat down on a chair and let out a long breath. He picked up the golden wine glass on the table and took a sip of the country's local wine.

This is really a huge cup. Of course, for the rulers here, this kind of capacity is designated as a ‘large cup’.

There were candles lit on the long table, but the person sitting opposite the death knell was not a beautiful woman, but a man wearing a green cloak and a mysterious iron mask.

"Dum has been waiting for you for a long time. It seems that your side is going well. Now we can talk about the afterbirth."

Doctor Doom waved his hand and signaled his butler to step back. What he was about to say next would not be heard by everyone.

The butler in green military uniform put down the wine bottle in his hand, bowed to the guests and left with a smile. He had severe hair loss, comparable to Colson.

Seeing him leave, Doctor Doom put his hands on the table, supported his chin, and continued:

"The preparation of Element Zero has been successful. Doom has taken it out of the interface between reality and illusion, allowing it to stay in 'that moment'. But next, Doom needs some ideas on how to apply it in actual combat. , to enhance our power and cosmic authority.”

"Well, I understand the truth, but do we need to talk from such a distance?"

Su Ming was silent for a moment, and then compared the distance between the two parties with his fingers. They were now at both ends of the long table. This was the kind of extra-long table used for castle banquets, and the distance between the two ends was more than fifty meters.

Unexpectedly, Doom stuttered when he said this. His expression was invisible under the mask, but his helplessness could be felt.

After standing up, the doctor flew to the seat next to Deathstroke and sat down. He repeated what he had just said and added:

"What do you think we should do next?"

"Our next goal is to surpass the Gods. Only when we gain their abilities will we have the capital to become chess players." Deathstroke also became serious, whispering his plan and tapping his fingers on the table. : "I have previously provoked the constructors to raid the beyond realm, but the result is unknown."

"Understood, Doom will use Element Zero next to create a portal that connects transcendental realms, but we need a strong team, many people who can not be 'deleted' by high-level permissions."

Under Doctor Doom's cold mask, his eyes were shining brightly. He knew that Deathstroke could travel to other multidimensional worlds, but he had never asked to travel.

Because his sight has always been on a higher level.

"I have been preparing for the manpower issue. You only need to be responsible for the hardware facilities." Su Ming smiled and patted Dumu on the shoulder, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "But this is an operation that cannot fail no matter what. Once we fail, none of us can come back.”

"Dum understands... but no matter what you do, there are risks, and Doom thinks it's worth it." Doctor Doom also picked up the wine glass, and he took a deep breath: "Hopefully, it's not too late, in other parallels With the universe being driven into collision by the Beyonders, Doom knew these potential threats had to be eradicated."

"Don't be nervous, you will make mistakes when you are nervous." Su Ming asked Hangsha to drag the roasted suckling pig over on the long table, he tore off one leg and gnawed it, and gave the other parts to the symbiote: "The constructor should have dragged Transcendence away. Dear friends, we actually still have time, so don’t spend all your time in the laboratory and spend more time with your wife and children.”

"Well, thank you, Slade." There was a little more warmth in Dr. Doom's tone, and his eyes softened. When he mentioned his family, he actually showed a happy expression.

"You're welcome, Victor, we are friends."

Deathstroke, who thought the roasted pig tasted good, wiped his mouth and stood up, asking Strangler to pick out a few more interesting dishes and take them away:

"That's it for now. I have to go to the vampires. Dracula is also an old friend of mine. I don't know if it will have any impact on their family after I kill Sithorn. I have to go and see. , I’ll bring some dishes to eat.”

"No problem, keep in touch." Doom was also a straightforward person. He nodded and directly raised his hand to help Deathstroke open the portal to Romania.

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

The Grand Duke's castle was a bit lively today. Many bats were flying over the castle. Some of them landed on the tower and turned into handsome men and beauties with a bang.

There was a vampire bride who was welcoming guests at the drawbridge at the main entrance of the castle. When she saw the Supreme Mage arriving, she immediately enthusiastically came over to perform a tutu ceremony. She held Su Ming's arm with her cold hands and invited him to join them in their big dance.

"We are extremely honored to have the Supreme Mage visit the master's castle. Please come in quickly. Where is the butler? Go and inform the master that a distinguished guest has arrived."

Under the moonlight, the bride, wearing a classical dress with her bulging chest, smiled and talked while leading the death knell towards the city.

Many vampires nearby were confused at first, and then whispered to the others around them, and then quickly became polite and respectful, and even some were so enthusiastic that they didn't look like dead people.

Just casually glancing at the crowd, Su Ming saw several counts. These people must have not listened to Dracula's orders for at least hundreds of years. Why are they here today?

Could it be that the vampires are celebrating the New Year today? Family reunion for Smoking Day? There should be no such festival...

As if noticing the guest's puzzled expression, the bride who was leading the way covered her mouth with a small fan and smiled. She whispered in his ear: "This is all thanks to you, the great Supreme Mage. The news that you defeated Sithorn has been lost." Everyone knows, so the master of our family, because of his close relationship with you..."

Understand, vampires are mysterious creatures after all, and they are well-informed about some things in the magical world. After Deathstroke killed the big demon, many vampires became afraid.

After knowing that Dracula has a good relationship with the Supreme Mage, today he came to get close to him, or to get information.

As the ancestor of vampires, Dracula naturally has no reason to drive guests out. Regardless of his aristocratic demeanor or blood connection, he will entertain these uninvited guests.

Therefore, it developed into what it is now, a grand ball with no temporary preparations but a large number of guests.

But it’s okay, Su Ming should support Dracula when encountering this kind of thing. After all, if he breaks into the realm of transcendence in the future, Dracula’s immortality beyond the Marvel concept level can help. On the list Count him in.
