"Gentlemen! This is the private territory of the Wayne family. You are not allowed to trespass without permission."

Alfred rushed forward immediately and wanted to drive away all the uninvited guests.

Because at this moment in the house there are not only a group of superheroes such as The Flash, Cyborg, Aquaman, but also a Superman prisoner and two sons of the devil.

Especially Mailer, who had been standing not far away in a daze for almost two days. God knows what extreme actions he would take once he felt that he was disturbed.

So the old butler didn't even give the other party the slightest bit of a good look and directly issued an eviction order.

But unfortunately, this set of measures may scare off ordinary people and make law enforcement agencies and politicians restrain themselves, but it has no deterrent effect at all on the military, which controls the largest violent agency.

After all, when the military breaks the law it goes through military courts, not the ordinary civilian justice system.

This also means that the political resources and networks of wealthy people do not necessarily have an impact on the relatively closed military system.

Moreover, the style of the US military to minimize big issues and trivial matters at all levels has long been known to everyone.

That's why the military doesn't care about threats like bullshit private territories.

The bespectacled man in the lead said in a slightly arrogant tone: "Let Bruce Wayne come out to see me immediately! Because this involves state secrets and the fate of all mankind and even the earth. Or would you rather I call him by another name?"

moment!

Alfred's expression became extremely ugly.

Because he knew that the other party was referring to his master's other identity - Batman.

As we all know, although Batman is the guardian of the night in the minds of most ordinary people in Gotham, he is also the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of mafia families, gangs and criminals.

But he is still a criminal at the legal level.

Moreover, if one carefully counts the accumulated criminal records, they would definitely be enough to sentence him to hundreds or even thousands of years.

So almost every time the villain learns Batman's true identity, it will inevitably trigger a huge crisis.

After realizing that the other party was not here for good purpose, Alfred immediately put on a polite expression and responded without any emotion: "Please wait! I will go and inform Mr. Wayne right away. But before that, please tell me who you are."

"You can call me Adam. I am here on behalf of the United States government and the president."

The man with glasses was obviously satisfied with the old butler's reaction, and he pursed his lips to reveal his identity.

He did not continue to push his luck and break into the Wayne family mansion, but chose to quit while he was ahead.

After all, Bruce Wayne is not an ordinary rich man, but the undisputed ruler of Gotham City.

Whether in the open or in secret.

God knows if he is really annoyed, the bat will suddenly appear in front of him in the middle of the night, or reveal all the shady transactions in private.

In short, this man who calls himself Adam may dare to use moral kidnapping on the kind and noble Superman in the past, but he definitely dare not force Bruce Wayne too much.

On the one hand, the Wayne family is indeed one of the top ruling classes in the United States. On the other hand, Batman does not take the so-called laws seriously when doing things.

Just like that, after being persuaded by both soft and hard tactics, Alfred quickly told his master the identity of the uninvited guest outside.

A few minutes later, Bruce Wayne walked out of the house without his bat armor and asked straight to the point, "If I remember correctly, Amanda Waller promised that she would never harass me when we first started working together."

"I'm terribly sorry, Mr Wayne.

Under normal circumstances, we don't want to harass you.

But the problem is that the entire earth and humanity are facing a catastrophe.

I believe you have seen it too.

Whether it was the previous super nuclear explosion that razed the entire city to the ground in an instant, or the huge fortress built by the enemy on the nuclear explosion pit, it showed that the situation had reached the most critical moment.

Not long ago, the battle between the two Supermen almost completely destroyed Metropolis.

To put it bluntly, the military is simply unable to cope with this situation which is far beyond its capabilities.

So now more than ever we need some unconventional forces and means.”

Adam explained in a sincere tone.

He knew that it was this man who used the power of the Mother Box to resurrect the dead Superman in the biological chamber of the Kryptonian spacecraft that created Doomsday.

It is also known that Victor, the son of Silas Stone, who was in charge of researching the Mother Box and claimed to be missing, was not actually missing, but was influenced by the power of the Mother Box and turned into a half-human, half-mechanical life form.

Finally, there is Wonder Woman Diana, who came from Paradise Island and participated in World War I to defeat the god of war Ares.

It can be said that the most powerful unconventional force on the entire earth is now gathered under the command of Bruce Wayne.

If these people were not more difficult to deal with than the other, and their strength and destructive power were not so incredible, the U.S. government would have started poaching them long ago.

Because of his in-depth cooperation with Amanda Waller, Batman knew very well what kind of people these politicians and bureaucrats in the government were like. He calmly asked, "So what? You didn't come all the way here just to talk nonsense, did you? I believe you should know that we are doing our best to stop these terrible invaders."

"No, of course not.

The government is fully aware of the decisive role you played in this and would like to express its sincere gratitude for it.

Especially His Excellency the President.

They even said that they would hold a press conference for you afterwards and present you with medals and awards.

The main reason I came here was for the girl who easily defeated Superman.

Please do tell me her name, identity and background, and arrange a meeting.

I would like to speak to her alone on behalf of the United States government and the president.”

After going around in circles for a long time, Adam finally revealed his true identity.

Yes, he came for little Annie.

After all, although the girl used magic to teleport directly away from Metropolis, her previous public appearance in Gotham City was easily discovered by the intelligence department.

Besides, living in Wayne Manor was no secret, so they naturally found out.

After figuring out what the government and the White House representatives wanted to do, Bruce Wayne smiled mockingly and asked, "Are you trying to bribe or win her over? I advise you to give up this unrealistic idea."

"Oh? Why?" Adam asked quickly.

“Because her father is very difficult to deal with.

To be precise, it was the terrifying demon who dealt with Doomsday last time and restored the destroyed moon to its original state.

Anyone who tries to approach, influence and control this girl with bad intentions may be regarded as an enemy by him.

So please don't seek death.

Otherwise, I guarantee that you and the interest groups behind you will be killed without a burial place.

Even the soul after death cannot be liberated.”

Bruce Wayne issued a warning in an extremely serious tone.

You have to know that Darkseid from Apokolips has already made him feel tremendous pressure that is almost despair.

If we add Zuo Si and the unknown power behind him, we might as well just lie down and wait for the end of the world.

"What? You mean that girl is the daughter of the devil! She...she is not human at all?"

Adam's mouth opened in shock.

He thought that the other party was someone from the secret magical world on Earth.

Bruce Wayne nodded slightly: "Yes.

It's not just Annie. Did you see the boy standing motionless on the lawn not far away?

He is the same.

Moreover, the power he possesses is the abstract symbol of death, and can even permanently kill time and space.

So I pray that you will not add to the confusion.

Because according to the information I just got, in a certain timeline that is very likely in the future, the Earth has been completely occupied by Apocalypse.

Our home planet was drained of energy and turned into a dead planet.

If this happens, then wealth and power will be meaningless.”

"Damn it! So what's your plan?"

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Adam finally didn't dare to play tricks anymore.

After all, if even half of what the other party said was true, it would mean that the underground shelters built before were completely useless.

Because once the earth becomes a dead planet without energy and resources, it means that the closed ecological cycle system will not be able to work normally, and all the people living in it will die painfully in a very short time.

Even if some shelters have sufficient supplies and a very small population, they can survive for decades or even hundreds of years.

But human beings cannot avoid the fate of extinction.

After all, once the earth loses all its energy and resources, even if humans survive, they will not be able to get back on track and rebuild civilization to maintain the continuation of their own race.

The original intention of establishing a shelter was to send a small number of elites as seeds to hide in it when encountering a powerful enemy that could not be defeated.

Wait for decades or hundreds of years until the other party leaves and then come out and rebuild civilization.

"I do have a desperate plan, but I won't use it unless it's absolutely necessary. Because even I don't quite understand what price the entire earth and mankind will pay if I do so."

As he said this, Bruce Wayne turned around and glanced at Mel, who was still in a daze.

Adam, who had been working in the White House and political arena for many years and whose heart was filled with all kinds of filth and dirt, almost immediately understood what this sinister old bat wanted to do, and beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.

He couldn't believe that the other party had just warned the government and the White House about this issue, but he had such a crazy idea in his mind.

In an emergency, using two sons of the demon god to drag down the great demon god behind them, and then let them fight to the death with the new gods of Apocalypse? This is simply using a mortal body to plot against the gods!

How rebellious! How bold! No matter who wins or loses, Bruce Wayne will definitely feel the pain of being unable to live or die.

"call--"

Adam let out a long breath and handed the box in his hand to Batman: "Here, this is the gift the president asked me to bring to the daughter of the devil. Now I'm giving it to you. Be careful, this thing is very, very dangerous."

"What's in the box?"

Bruce Wayne subconsciously took over and asked in an uncertain tone.

“Sorry, we don’t know what it is.

But that mysterious black mass will kill all life that comes close to it. It is the most dangerous and deadly mysterious object Amanda Waller has ever found.

Finally, I wish you good luck.

Because I don’t want to see a future filled with destruction and despair.”

After saying that, Adam walked onto the helicopter without looking back and flew away with the soldiers escorting him.

Although he did not complete the task assigned by the president, he had obtained a lot of important information and would definitely be able to report back after returning.

As for the rest of the matters, those were things that the big shots needed to consider, and it was not the turn of the head of the intelligence department to worry about them.

Just as Bruce Wayne was watching the helicopter quickly climb to a higher altitude and finally turn into a black dot and disappear into the sky, he suddenly felt someone was staring at him.

Out of subconscious instinct, he immediately turned around and looked around, only to find that Mail, who had been motionless, was actually staring at the box in his hand with his eyes with black eyeballs and white pupils.

"Are you interested in this?"

Bruce Wayne held up the box and tested it in an uncertain tone.

Maier nodded very decisively: "Yes, I felt the death inside."

"You mean, the things in here are related to death?"

Bruce Wayne hurriedly continued to ask.

"No! It is death itself, the embodiment of the law of death in this universe. And what you hold in your hand is just a small part of the power split from it."

Maier explained it in the simplest terms possible.

"Then can I use this power of death to fight the enemy?"

Batman, who was worrying about how to strengthen himself to fight the New God of Apokolips, immediately had his eyes light up.

But Maier shook his head bluntly: "No.

The power of death can only act on the dead.

You are the living, so it will not choose you.

It will only lend you its power if you choose death yourself.

And this death force hates all life and emotional energy.

Once you use this power, it will continue to devour and kill people, otherwise it will abandon you."

"It sounds like this power is a bit...evil?"

Bruce Wayne was on high alert almost instantly.

Because he has come into contact with so many dangerous things in his life.

Including but not limited to Scarecrow's fear gas, Poison Ivy's deadly toxins and toxins that can affect the controlling nerves, etc.

"From the perspective of the living, death is indeed terrifying and evil. Because it is the opposite of life. Moreover, there is a powerful consciousness behind this power of death."

As he spoke, Maile raised his arm and inserted his hand directly into the special box, then took out a ball of pure black that was completely devoid of any light.

The moment the black mass appeared, Batman, who was closest to it, shuddered involuntarily and quickly retreated.

But just a few seconds later, he saw the opaque black mass begin to shrink, eventually revealing a completely black ring.

On the front of the ring, there is an inverted triangle engraved with five patterns spread out like petals on it.

Unlike the non-reflective black color of the ring, this pattern, which is mainly composed of an inverted triangle, emits a faint white light.

If Zuo Si was present, he would definitely recognize at a glance that it was the famous black lantern ring in this universe, symbolizing darkness and death.

The source of power behind it is the embodiment of the rule of death - the Black Death Emperor.

"A ring?!"

Bruce Wayne's eyes widened in surprise.

Just when he wanted to ask more, little Annie had obviously noticed something. She arrived at the scene directly through magic and stared at the black lantern ring with a slightly wary look.

After half a minute, the girl finally asked, "My dear brother, what is that in your hand?"

“This is a small clone that embodies the law of death in this universe.

Don't worry, it won't affect me in any way.

Just the opposite.

It just naturally fits in with me.”

As the last word came out of his mouth, Mail's face, which originally had no mouth, suddenly tore open to reveal a black hole leading to an unknown space, and then swallowed the black lantern ring whole.

Then, under the stunned gaze of others, a creepy thick mist mixed with black and blood red emanated from his body.

At the same time, the surrounding sky became completely dark, as if an indescribable powerful force enveloped the area.

A voice that clearly did not make any sound but continued to echo in the depths of all hearts began to murmur some vague verses.

Unfortunately, no one could hear it completely, not even little Annie, a powerful magician.

Just as the girl was curious about this strange situation, the black and red fog suddenly began to engulf Mailer's body and seemed to be pulling him out of the material universe.

"No! Don't go! Come back soon!"

Little Annie finally realized that something was wrong, and subconsciously activated the mysterious blessing, trying to use magic to isolate and lock the surrounding space.

But unfortunately it was too late.

Just as his entire body completely disappeared, Maile said, "I told you not to worry. I'm just going to see the embodiment of the death rules of this universe, and I'll be back soon."

Then he disappeared without a trace along with the darkness that enveloped the sky. Even the planeswalker's spark could not capture the fleeting spatial coordinates.

"asshole!"

Looking at the empty ground and the surrounding grass that had completely withered, died and died, little Annie couldn't help but curse under her breath.

She didn't even pay attention to Batman who didn't react at all, and immediately opened the portal to find her father.

After all, she couldn't dare hide such a big thing as her brother's disappearance.

As for the shrewd Bruce Wayne, he was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

You know, his trump card against Apokolips and Darkseid is these two sons of the devil, but now all of them have run away.

While Wayne Manor was in chaos, far outside the material universe, in a place filled with darkness, coldness, death and nothingness, Mailer, who had just arrived there, was looking up at a huge figure standing in front of him.

The other party looked like a rotten and dried corpse, with two eyes that flickered with a faint white light like black jade, and even large pieces of bones exposed in many places. However, in the open chest there was a huge black heart that did not beat, and in his hand he held a staff that continuously overflowed with black energy.

"Are you the embodiment of the death rule of this universe?"

Maier was the first to break the silence and ask.

Because he knew that as the incarnation of death, no matter how powerful the opponent was, he could not hurt him.

In other words, he is immune to attacks from all death-related forces.

“That’s right.

You can call me the Black Death Emperor.

I rule over this land of death that is separate from the material universe.

I have to say, you are the most interesting life form I have ever seen since I was born.

Because you are clearly a living being similar to a god, but you hold the most ultimate abstract power over death.

It can even be said that your power comes from the root of all forms of death.

This made me very curious.

How were you born? And who created you? "

The Black Death Emperor leaned down slightly and looked at the young man who looked very small.

He could sense that the other person was not very old and had not even fully understood the full meaning of life and death.

“我的母亲是一位强大神力的女神，曾经掌握着疾病、剧毒与瘟疫的力量。

而我的父亲则是一位强大的旅法师兼大魔神。

是他们的结合创造了我。

我并非来自这个宇宙，而是诞生自黑暗虚空之外更加遥远的另外一个宇宙。

非常荣幸能够认识你，走在死亡道路上的前辈。”

麦尔彬彬有礼的单手抚胸鞠了一躬。

“哦？你来自那无尽的黑暗与虚空？”

黑死帝那双墨玉般的眼睛开始微微放光。

很显然，与那些后来诞生的神祇和凡人相比，他对于宇宙之外的情况并非一无所知。

确切地说，凡是这个宇宙最顶级的存在，基本都可以追溯到这宇宙形成之前的黑暗与虚无。

所以他们其实就是从第一缕规则中分裂诞生的次等规则所形成的具象化，源头便来自于黑暗虚空的混乱无序的原始能量和物质。

麦尔不加思索的回应道：“是的，我和我的父亲还有其他兄弟姐妹，都拥有在那片黑暗虚空中穿梭的能力。”

听到这个回答，黑死帝瞬间将整个身体弯下来，语气激动的问：“那你能帮助我打开一道裂缝进入物质宇宙吗？”

“抱歉，不行。因为那会打破这个宇宙生与死之间的平衡，”

麦尔毫不犹豫拒绝了对方的请求。

“为什么？ 难道你不也是代表了抽象的死亡吗？ 那你应该跟我一样，痛恨所有的光、生命和他们所产生的强烈情感。

只有一片黑暗与死寂的世界才是最完美的。”

黑死帝显然无法理解眼前这个年轻人的想法。

但麦尔用不带一丝感情的声音解释道：“我虽然代表了死亡，但却并不像你一样敌视生命。

因为我的父亲不止一次说过，这世间所有的东西都需要有一个对比的参照物。

就好像邪恶与善良、混乱与秩序。

当没有了善良的衬托，那邪恶就会变得毫无意义。

同样的道理，当死亡没有了生命的衬托它又算得了什么呢？

凡人乃至神明之所以敬畏和恐惧死亡，就是因为他们有生命、有思想、有感情。

可你却想要一劳永逸的彻底消灭这一切。

那么我请问，当消灭了一切的神明，你存在的意义和价值又是什么？”

伴随着这发自灵魂的拷问，黑死帝瞬间陷入了沉思。

因为从宇宙诞生之初就存在的他，压根没有想过这样的问题。

或者说，他根本没有意识到，自己与生命之灵的诞生都是其实都是整个宇宙诞生不可或缺的前提条件，少了谁都不行。

所以身为规则一部分的他们其实谁也无法真正的击败对方。

哪怕其中一个杀死了另外一个，很快也会再次复活并继续履行自己的使命。

这就好像托瑞尔星球所在的宇宙永远都必须维持善良与邪恶、秩序与混乱的平衡一样。

不管是谁胆敢打破这个平衡，立马就会遭受突如其来的降维打击。

沉默了良久，黑死帝才缓缓开口说道：“那按照你的意思，我之前所做的的一切都是错的，应该放弃与生命之灵为敌？”

“不，我的意思是您应该学会适可而止。

毕竟杀死生命是您的职责，但却不应该妄图一劳永逸的杀死所有生命，而是要给他们繁衍生息的时间。

当整个宇宙的生命数量膨胀到某个临界点，您就可以出手进行毫不留情的收割。

唯有如此才不至于因为生命数量的不断增长彻底失去控制，最终导致资源匮乏走向大灭绝。

死亡应该是一种制约而非毁灭的力量。

它象征着一种循环，一种警示，一种让凡人乃至神祇保持敬谦卑敬畏的力量。”

麦尔直截了当说出了自己对于死亡的观点。

很显然，他如左思所期待的那样，在哥谭和蝙蝠侠的身边领悟到了生命的意义，所以并没有变成那种想要杀死一切、毁灭一切的恐怖类神力。

“哈哈哈哈！有趣！你居然试图给我灌输自己对于死亡的理念。”

黑死帝突然爆发出一阵瘆人的笑声。

很显然，他并不认可这种狗屁平衡理论。

因为在某种程度上，他其实跟夜之女神莎尔一样，都是受到与生俱来天性的影响根本不会做出哪怕一丝一毫的改变，更不会产生所谓的“反思”。

毕竟这就是他们的“出厂设置”和位于最底层的逻辑。

可麦尔对此却并不在意，面无表情的说道：“无论你是否认可，它就如同客观事实一样摆在那里。

你永远也不可能实现自己的愿望。

因为这就是你的命运。

无论你接受它还是反抗它都没有任何区别。

或者说，其实你现在的想法和所作所为就是你被创造出来的原因。

你和生命之灵的争斗在很大程度上就代表了生与死的循环，同时也维系了两者之间的平衡。

好了，说了这么多，我也开走了。

再见，黑死帝。

希望我们下次再见面的时候，你能跳出命运的束缚站在更高维度审视自己。”

话音未落！

麦尔胸口那颗巨大的旅法师火花开始闪烁明亮刺眼的光芒。

“我没有允许你休想离开！”

黑死帝显然不想就这么放走能够帮助自己打开裂隙进入物质宇宙的人，立刻释放出如同黑灯能量的大手想要抓住对方。

但遗憾的是他显然并不知道，旅法师火花的力量可不是随随便便就能束缚住的。

结果大手刚刚落下，麦尔整个人就已经钻入黑暗虚空离开了这片死亡之地。

“不！！！！回来！给我回来！”

眼见好不容易才找到的人就这么跑了，黑死帝顿时发出怒不可遏的咆哮，那骇人的力量瞬间席卷了整个死亡之地，同时还透过黑色灯戒向自己控制的黑灯军团下达命令，不惜一切代价找到麦尔并将他带回来。

……

与此同时，地球上的天启星要塞内，狄萨德刚刚完成了最后的准备，正站在一个外形诡异的装置前，张开双臂兴奋不已的宣布道：“完成了！我的这个杰作终于完成了！现在，是时候启动计划迎接伟大的达克赛德降临，同时给予那个魔神以重创。”

“你确定这玩意能重创索斯？”

荒原狼用不是很确定的语气问道。

尽管他在另外一条时间线上被神奇女侠戴安娜干掉了，可对于新神族来说复活从来都不是什么太困难的事情。

只要达克赛德点个头分分钟就能满血重生。

“当然！你这是在怀疑我技术吗？别忘了，包括莱克斯·卢瑟在内的很多人都帮了大忙。”

狄萨德抿起嘴角露出了意味深长的笑容。

作为天启星的首席科学家兼达克赛德的首席顾问，没有人比他更清楚这个地球人所拥有的恐怖潜力。

“所以你在利用他？”

荒原狼用不是很确定的语气反问。

狄萨德微微摇了摇头：“不，不，不，我们只是在各取所需。

毕竟在他贡献自己聪明才智的时候，也从我这里学习到了很多超越他认知上限的知识。

而且难道你没看出来吗？

他是乐在其中且心甘情愿。”

说着，狄萨德冲正在摆弄解剖一具变异尸体的光头大喊道：“莱克斯！过来一下！”

“来了！”

后者连一句废话都没有，立马丢下手头的工作快步走了过来。

他看上去是如此的愉悦，两只眼睛透露着毫不掩饰的兴奋与开心。

因为与天启星的科技水平相比，现如今的地球简直就是处在石器时代的原始部落。

同样的，他也对背叛人类投靠达克赛德选择感到庆幸。

否则可能一辈子都没有机会接触到这些知识。

想到这，莱克斯·卢瑟立马低下头向自己的引路人兼导师狄萨德深深的鞠了一躬：“请问您有什么吩咐吗？”

狄萨德毫不客气的吩咐道：“我有一个艰巨的任务交给你。”

“请说，我保证一定会出色的完成它。”

莱克斯·卢瑟连犹豫都没犹豫便给出承诺。

因为他知道，自己需要拼命表现来巩固现有的地位，否则那些同样被招募来的家伙就会争先恐后的取代自己。

“很简单！ 我需要你带上一批人去蝙蝠侠的秘密基地，把我们的超人营救出来，顺便带回最后一个母盒。

放松点，没必要那么紧张。

因为根据我观察到的情况，这条时间线上的超人正在与神奇女侠戴安娜在海边会面，那两个实力惊人的魔神之子同样也不知所踪。

眼下在那个基地里只剩下闪电侠、蝙蝠侠、海王和钢骨四个人。

我相信以你的头脑和现如今的装备，拿下他们应该不成问题。

哦，对了，鉴于这次行动的重要性，我会把类魔与那些招募来的人手指挥权交给你。

Do a good job! When the great dark lord comes, I will say a few good words for you."

After that, Desaad patted the other person on the shoulder to show encouragement.

Based on the principle of using him to the fullest, he obviously regarded Lex Luthor as a pawn to deal with the Justice League and lure Zuo Si into action.

As for whether this guy can survive this extremely dangerous mission, it depends on how strong his life is.

Anyway, it doesn't matter even if they die. After all, the purpose of these recruited Earthling traitors from the beginning was to be cannon fodder in the front line.

"Got it! I promise to come back with the Mother Box and Superman."

Lex Luthor obviously hasn't realized how dangerous this mission is, and thinks he can finally avenge Batman.

He has always been very vengeful and will never forget what the old bat did after locking him up in Arkham.

Without any hesitation!

This super genius with extremely high intelligence walked straight to a shelf placed in a prominent position and put on the super armor made for him.

In a flash!

He went from being a powerless scientist to a powerful fighter who could knock down superheroes with one punch.

"Are you going to do it?"

Deathstroke apparently noticed something and immediately grinned with a bloodthirsty and cruel expression.

The reason he joined was purely to seek revenge on Batman.

"Hahahaha! Yes! We are going to settle accounts with Bruce Wayne."

Lex Luthor laughed and answered in the affirmative.

Just like that, an army of human traitors and demon-like beings quickly left the impenetrable fortress and flew in the direction of Gotham.

Since this place has been monitored by satellites and various drones 24 hours a day, the team caused panic around the world as soon as they set out.

No one knows whether this is the prelude to Apokolips launching an all-out war, and no one knows which city they are going to attack.

For a moment, shrill air raid sirens were sounded in major cities throughout North America and even Central America.

The armies of various countries are also on high alert, ready to fight a desperate battle with the enemy at any time.

Just when the situation was becoming suffocatingly tense, on the top floor of the building where Zuo Si of the Metropolis was staying, little Annie was complaining to her father incessantly, almost calling her brother a wicked bastard.

It is not difficult to tell from her indignant tone and resentful eyes that her expression is almost without any technique and is simply the most sincere expression of her feelings.

After the girl finished her angry speech, Zuo Si asked with interest, "According to you, after swallowing the black lantern ring, Maile went to see the Black Death Emperor?"

"Lantern Ring? Black Death Emperor?"

Little Annie keenly grasped two key words.

And she immediately realized that her father's understanding of the universe was far beyond her imagination.

“Well, yes.

In this universe, there are many powerful primitive lives.

Although they are not gods, they possess power comparable to that of gods.

Several of them represent beings of emotional energy, which grant power to mortals through rings made with special craftsmanship.

This is the origin of the lantern ring.

The most well-known of these is the Green Lantern Corps, which defends the order of the universe.

The black lantern represents death, and the source of its power is the Black Death Emperor. It is also one of the manifestations of death in this universe."

Zuo Si used concise words to introduce the lamp ring and the source of the power behind it to his daughter.

Apart from the black lamp that symbolizes death, the power of the other lamp rings comes from emotional energy, the source of which is the lamp beast, or it would be more accurate to call it the physical projection of the corresponding energy.

Some say that these lamp beasts originated from the other side of the Wall of Origin, which is the source that Jinjitaxia wanted to steal.

Others describe the lamp beasts as something left over from the destruction of the previous universe, the first special life forms with thoughts and consciousness that were formed under the illumination of the light of creation.

But no matter which truth is, the power of the lamp beast is very strong, in no way inferior to the new and old gods.

"Why does Mail want to see the embodiment of the death of the universe?" Little Annie asked with a frown.

"You can think of your brother as a god who is trying to understand who he is and what he is going to do in the future.

He needs to observe, learn and think with his own eyes until he finds his own path.

And the Black Death Emperor is just such a perfect person to observe and talk to.

You don't have to worry about Mel being in danger.

Because they both hold the power of death, neither of them can really hurt the other.

I guess he will come back on his own after a while."

Zuo Si was obviously not worried about his son's safety.

Because as a planeswalker, even if you encounter a powerful enemy that you cannot defeat, you can always run away.
