The Death Knell

There was a piece of scorched earth in front of him, and the black dried substance was like a hard scab on a wound, sticking tightly to the ground. When you hit it with your fingers, it would make a hollow sound and a little dust would fall down.

The air was filled with a burnt smell, a bit like the smell of burning rubber or plastic. The pungent smell penetrated people's noses and into their eyes, but all that could be seen was the green smoke.

The place where Deathstroke and others landed was a place that might have been a small border town in the past. There were some low ruins remaining dozens of meters away, and the uneven charred ruins were slightly exposed from the ground, like a field that had been ravaged by wild boars.

No corpses have been seen yet, and no remains of burned human tissue can be discerned outside the ruins, but this is indeed a place where massacres occurred, and everything seen and heard can prove this.

But there is good news. Previously, the entire planet looked dark from the outside, just because the world was shrouded in dark clouds. At present, it seems that the area that has become scorched earth is not large.

"Is it a fusion weapon?"

Grodd wears a set of metal armor, wrapped like a robot, with a round energy reactor shining brightly on his chest.

Siluke

Even though he looks like a robot, the gorilla's bone structure means that when he walks upright, his big belly inevitably sticks out, almost touching the back of the person he is asking, Luther.

Upgrading a set of armor for the gorilla is also one of the rewards paid by Luther to the former. Of course, because it is his handiwork, the alloy composition of this armor is also mixed with kryptonite powder, so it looks a bit Green.

The bald man did not rush to answer His Majesty the King's question. Instead, he fiddled with his portable terminal for a while, and then he said after getting scientific evidence:

"No, there is no radiation left here, it's very clean."

In fact, he also knew that Darkseid looked down upon things like nuclear weapons at all. He conducted the investigation only because he knew nothing about Etania and did not know whether the indigenous people here would use such things.

The breeze brought the burning smell again, and he frowned uncomfortably, because this disgusting pungent smell almost affected his thinking.

In particular, Deathstroke had him disguised as a knight wearing full armor, which was very uncomfortable for him who had never worn a helmet in the past.

"It's not as complicated as you think. This wreckage is a field of fire." Deathstroke, who was squatting to examine the ground, stood up. At this time, he transformed into a shirtless barbarian warrior, with only a piece of mountain lion skin around his waist. A devilish muscular man with long black hair blowing in the wind.

"Is it the kind of fire we think of?" Sinestro was hidden under his hooded cloak. Someone gave him a long wooden stick before landing and asked him to pretend to be the mysterious mage.

This is talking about the kind of fire in the fire pit of Apokolips in the past, the fire ignited by omega energy.

In addition to this, the Yellow Lantern Demon is also a little curious about what is in Deathstroke's belt, as if he is prepared for any situation, even the disguise props are prepared for so many people.

"Not exactly. If it were the flames formed by that kind of energy, our feet would be burned into diamonds. But in the current situation, the heat here is a bit worse."

Deathstroke, whose face became full of muscles, walked towards the ruins of the town. He took out a red cloth belt and tied it on his forehead. He also took out a heavy machine gun like magic and carried it. As he walked, he hung the ammunition chain in the shape of an X letter. On shoulders and chest.

You thought that when he played Conan the Barbarian, he added elements of Rambo, but who said that barbarians can't use heavy machine guns?

The key is that Luther also brought an Amazo. That guy couldn't even speak a few words in English and could only play a barbarian. Su Ming had to distinguish his role from that guy.

There may be Darkseid's spies everywhere here, disguised as locals, this is necessary.

Everyone in the team was assigned a role, and Damian put on an octagonal hat and old makeup to disguise himself as a court dwarf clown.

Cyborg's metal body was covered with an iron shell, and he was also disguised as a robot. Well, he was almost a robot to begin with.

Sea Lord Orm is the simplest. He originally wore a full-body black chain armor with a fish-head helmet. Darkseid had never seen him before, so he only needed to change the weapon from a trident to a sword.

Leopard Girl's disguise is the most complicated, her appearance is so unique, but with the help of the Sandman and the mysterious side power of the big cat, she is now put in an illusory leather suit made of dream smoke and turned into a cat The cute girl has big eyes in a two-dimensional style.

As for Daniel and the cat, don't worry about them. They are dreams to begin with, and ever-changing is just one of the basic characteristics of dreams. Now they have become two thin wisps of smoke, following behind everyone.

"Omega... Alpha..." Luther just repeated these two words in a low voice. He raised his head and looked at the sky, which was full of black and red fish-scale clouds, without even a trace of sunlight passing through.

Human beings indeed still need light, and darkness alone is not enough.

Etania is a relatively balanced world, where technology and magic can be considered to go hand in hand. It has both complete intelligent robot technology and a curse that can destroy the world.

For the powerful local mages, moving mountains, filling seas, and calling for wind and rain are all trivial matters. The biggest feature is that the spellcasters here often have some precognitive abilities.

Whether it is an ordinary snake shaman or the famous parrot lady, spellcasters in this world often also hold the title of prophet.

How much of the future can be seen and whether it is accurate is not necessarily true, but the popularity of prophecy spells is high enough. Sometimes the two enemies predict the same thing and compete with each other in their mental power. It's like whoever wins can decide the future.

So, could anyone foresee the arrival of his group at this time?

Looking at the ruins in front of him, Su Ming's brain automatically restored its original appearance. It was supposed to be a medieval-style wooden city with city walls. There were shops and markets in the city, as well as many residential buildings.

In the calculation, more and more people appear. They are busy, working and shopping, living in this city, living a life that is not very good, but can be considered peaceful.

But when he opened his eyes again, these phantoms disappeared, leaving only a scorched blackness.

Some human ashes were found in the city. These white powders appeared densely in certain areas, probably in the corners of houses or behind big trees. They probably wanted to avoid the incoming danger, but this attack exceeded their expectations.

Without the ability to resist, they all turned into fly ash.

"There is nothing of value here. We'd better not stop in the wasteland for too long and choose a direction." Luther approached the death knell. He almost completed the investigation of the ruins of the town at the same time, but also found nothing. Something of value.

"I need to keep the communication with my hometown silent, but I remember the world map." The barbarian special soldier played by Su Ming licked his finger with his tongue, then raised it to feel the wind direction: "Let's go over there, to this world center, where survivors and answers may be found.” (To be continued)
