The Death Knell

"Go on."

Bliss walked out of the cabinet on the side. She had already changed into her pajamas, took off her Batgirl uniform, and began to check various information for this month in front of the huge computer.

Su Ming summarized what he could tell her: "At the beginning of the creation of the multiverse, two brothers were born from chaos. They were responsible for supervising the order of the universe..."

Barry clapped his hands and raised a finger with a smile: "Ah, monitors and counter-monitors, I know."

Su Ming nodded to him and indicated that he was right: "In addition, they actually have a brother, the World Forger. He always lives in the World Forge and uses the fire inside to forge a steady stream of new worlds. Placed in the multiverse.”

"I don't understand a little bit, but I think your news is credible for the time being." Bliss had some bruises on her body, and she was treating the wounds, spraying unknown chemicals on them.

"The brighter ones among these worlds are placed in the light universe, and the darker ones are placed in the dark universe. They are like two sides of a plate. This plate is called the blood realm." Su Ming did not look at her white thighs. Instead, he continued his topic.

"Is the Forger of the World Barbatos?" Barry rubbed his temples. He didn't know all this information, and he felt very nervous now.

"...He is not, he is actually the helper of the World Forger, responsible for picking up the garbage back to the World Forge."

"...."

Barry looked at Su Ming with an expression as if you were kidding me. Although Cindy and Bliss's expressions were not so dramatic, their eyes almost revealed the same meaning.

Where is the God of Darkness that was promised? Where is the promised destroyer of all worlds?

Su Ming glanced at Barry angrily and saw that you were stupid in school. Barbatos's job sounds ordinary. If you think about it carefully, you will realize that it is something that ordinary people can do?

Its work includes traveling through the multiverse, destroying and recycling single universes, and absorbing all dark energy and people's negative emotions. This is truly a multiverse-level boss.

"The casting process of the World Forger is a bit like blacksmithing, you know, the kind where sparks fly and molten iron flows." Su Ming rubbed his eyes and took Barry's towel to wipe the blood on his hands: "These splashes The sparks that came out turned into shapeless universes after cooling down. Barbatos' original mission was to turn these shapeless universes into pieces and bring them back to the world furnace for recasting. He could drag the entire single universe. Now We are even preparing to drag 52 universes into darkness. This is not as simple as picking up trash as you think."

"What about now?" Barry asked again.

"The World Forger was killed by Barbatos, who set up his own business. He wanted to extinguish the fire and bring all the worlds under his rule, because the worlds of the Light Multiverse are a little high, like the fruit on the front of the plate. , he couldn’t reach it, so he wanted to drill a hole in the bottom of the plate to let the fruit on top leak out.”

Su Ming wiped the white towel until there were traces of blood and mud, like an unknown pattern, and then threw the towel away.

Bliss squinted her eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Sounds like a madman."

"These 52 fruits cannot be put together with the other 52 stuck under the plate, otherwise everyone will disappear, even Barbatos will disappear, and the multiverse will become a place of silence." Su Ming responded to her words, Rubbing his temples, he didn't know if the multiverse would be restarted in this way. However, in the restart, he might not be an outsider. He was extra. By then, he might just pop to the ground like a soap bubble. not see.

Everyone was digesting this information, but Cindy had heard Su Ming's explanation before. She seemed a little idle. She knew that Su Ming already had a plan.

Bliss crossed her arms and thought quietly. After a moment, she slightly opened her lips covered with black lipstick and said in a low voice: "Originally, Barry and I got the Fountain of Lazarus from the Shadow Dancer Alliance. Use it on the Sea Queen. As long as she doesn't die and I don't participate in the war between the Amazon and the bottom of the sea, the world situation may ease a lot. But at present, it seems that if the Owl Court keeps tossing, this method will only delay the destruction."

"Originally, if it was just the two of you, there is nothing wrong with buying more time, but once this world attracts Barbatos' attention, it is basically difficult to escape. I have a plan, which is to cut off their ability to contact Barbatos. Get under your eyelids."

Su Ming told Bliss what he had said to Cindy as planned, except that he concealed the fact that Cindy was about to carry out an assassination in Gotham. As he expected, after learning that the owl might have been involved in the death of her parents, the suspicious Bliss couldn't let go of this possibility.

"The base camp of the Owl Priests is also in Egypt, because they are the descendants of the Bird Tribe, and that is their foundation." Su Ming finally threw these words and said no more. He knew what Bliss would do. choose.

"Do you know where they are?" Bliss clenched her fingers and made a clicking sound. She was not eager to avenge her parents. This hatred had already turned into something else during countless actions in the dark. thing.

She wanted to return a thousandfold the fear the murderer had inflicted on her.

"Well, they are in the temple of Set." Su Ming took the opportunity to make his suggestion.

"Yes, the Temple of Set, how could I forget this? What happened..." Barry kept patting his head. He suspected that the Speed ​​Force caused him to lose some memories. This This feeling is very bad.

The Speed ​​Force sometimes causes people to lose time, and sometimes they lose some memories. Almost all speedsters have experienced being trapped in the Speed ​​Force.

Bliss looked at Barry with inquiring eyes, and then at Su Ming. She knew that Deathstroke had another purpose, but Su Minghao looked at her without guilt, with only determination in his eyes.

"We'll set off after dinner."

In the end, Bliss gave up the investigation. She only needed to go to Egypt with Su Ming to understand everything. Su Ming smiled, and quietly made a gesture to Cindy with his hand behind his back that only the two of them could understand:

"Very good, I'm looking forward to Alfred's cooking skills."

"Thanks for the compliment, then I can serve it."

It turned out that Alfred came out of the elevator pushing the dining cart at this time. He had already prepared the second supper. It was not the leftovers from Bliss and Barry before, but a new table.

"Stop serving the dishes in order, put them all on the table." There was something to do next, but there was no time to enjoy an aristocratic dinner, so Bliss motioned to the butler to put all the dishes on the work table.

"Miss, if you eat in the Batcave from now on, our restaurant will lose its function." The butler served the food decisively, while not forgetting to say a few words to Bliss.

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

After eating, Su Ming's headache and pounding feeling in his temples temporarily disappeared. Slade's memory was neatly presented in his mind, completely accepted, or recalled, and he felt much more relaxed.

After drinking a few glasses of wine with the meal, he prepared for his next move.

He put on the armor again and asked Ah Fu to find him a broad sword. It was just a decorative sword for the medieval armor in the mansion, but fortunately it was edged. Bliss changed back into her Batsuit, and Barry changed into a red body suit.

Before Bliss could speak, Su Ming said to Barry first: "Barry, take Bliss and me to Egypt."

Barry glanced at Bliss, who agreed, so he hooked one person with one hand, activated the Speed ​​Force, and the three disappeared instantly. Cindy swayed in her seat, put out her cigarette in the ashtray, put on her helmet again, and began to check the ammunition and weapons: "Then Butler Pennyworth, it's time for me to go to work, you are here Lend me a car."

"I'll be with you and help you drive. I heard some of your conversation." Alfred took off his apron and said politely.

Cindy paused: "Su and I's plan is much more 'direct' than Bliss's plan."

Alfred quickly put the plates on the dining car, his tone still calm: "Yes, I think the lady had already thought of it when she hired you, but Mr. Allen recognized you very much, and he said you would fight for the world. "

"Haha, it's just self-protection. It's better if you can make money, not to mention that if you don't have money, someone has to do the job, unless we all want to become mud on the seabed."

Cindy laughed. Neither Su Ming nor she was a noble person, and their purpose was simple, just to survive.

"I used to be a government agent. I killed many people for the government. I understand that sometimes 'direct' means must be used." Alfred chuckled, not knowing that the gray-haired old man was once a government executioner. One member: "But I have resigned a long time ago. I am just driving for you this time. I don't care how your mercenaries do business, but I must ensure that the lady's money is worth it."

Cindy shrugged. She knew this was a kind of supervision. Bliss indeed noticed something... It was unrealistic for the housekeeper to keep an eye on her. Bliss probably just wanted to restrict herself a little. behavior, don’t overdo it.

It's easy to get rid of it, but if someone familiar with the road is willing to drive, you can test Batgirl's bottom line yourself...

"Then follow, but it's best not to get in the way."
