Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

Thirty-two. Crazy Talk in the Stone

After the invasion of the frost giants and the dark elves, the earth, which was already in chaos, suddenly seemed to usher in a period of tranquility, for a full 4 months. Except for the actions of the Heavenly Sword Bureau against the Eastern Gods and Demons, the entire The world seems to have resumed its original trajectory suddenly. There are no alien invasions, no transgressors, no bastards who engage in wind and rain, and even those paws hiding in the dark seem to be well-treated by their owners. Converged.

For a while, Cyber ​​was a bit boring.

"Father, we are coming to see you again."

Catherine in a white dress leaned down and placed a bunch of flowers in front of her father’s tomb. She stretched out her hand and wiped the cold tombstone, her eyes completed an arc:

"Robin has no way to come this year. He is trained in a sacred place. It is estimated that he will be back in 8 years. But don’t worry, he will always take care of himself. Cyber ​​is also in Gotham, but he is going today. I’m busy, you know, he always doesn’t like to talk too much, he still has some mysterious things to do, but I know, he also misses you very much, and I also know that he often comes here alone to talk to you at night , There are many things, he will probably only tell you."

The eldest lady of the Devil Gang gently slid her fingers on the tombstone, as if stroking the old man’s face, even if several years have passed, the face of the old man who always defended her in front of Cyber ​​has never changed. , She still remembered the gentle smile that Dad gave her when she was taken back to the Old Gun Bar by Cyber.

Lying here will always be her dearest person. Even if he has left the world, he is still giving hope to the living and reducing the confidence to move forward.

"Kevin is back too, old man, although he doesn't remember you anymore."

Catherine was a bit bitter, but she didn't see Kevin, who was standing behind her who was eating an apple. At this moment, the face that was always grinning flashed a trace of dazedness and helplessness. Faint emotions surged in his mutilated soul, wanting to make him say something.

"This...who is this? Catherine..."

Kevin asked in a low voice, and Catherine turned her head and smiled at him: "This is daddy, one of your relatives."

"Who killed him?"

The apple in Kevin's hand was thrown aside. This imperfect man clenched his fists under a special emotion, and said seriously: "I'll avenge him."

"No one killed the old man."

Catherine felt a little lost. She shook her head, stood up, helped Kevin wipe the crumbs from the corners of her mouth, and said softly: "Daddy was peaceful when he left this world. He slept here, so we must protect This city, do you understand? Kevin?"

"Well, protect Gotham, I understand."

Kevin obediently allowed Catherine to hold his hand, and the little girl turned around and waved to the tombstone under her eyes:

"Father, see you again next month."

And just as they turned around, they met another person who came to visit an old friend. Catherine was so far away, she waved to the slightly crooked middle-aged man:

"Gordon, long time no see."

"Oh, it's you, little girl, Barbara called you yesterday."

Director Gordon saw Catherine, his mouth was smiling, he patted Catherine on the shoulder, and then put a piece of candy into Kevin’s hand: "If Christian is still there, seeing Kevin return safely, he I will be very happy."

"Yeah."

Catherine responded. After Gordon placed the two bunches of flowers in front of the grave of his father and his dead wife, they walked out of the cemetery together. The three people were talking along the way, and they looked more like a family.

"Right, Catherine."

At the time of the separation, Director Gordon, who was already full of gray hair, asked casually: "I heard before that there is a way to resurrect the dead in the Devil Gang? Is it true or false?"

"En? Why are you asking this? Gordon, do you want to join the Devil Gang too?"

Catherine asked with a smirk. Director Gordon shook her head and pushed her glasses seriously: "No, I'm just worried that this method will leak and be used by some caring people. Speaking of which, you really do, right?"

"Well, yes or no."

Gordon is considered an old friend of the Christian family, so Catherine didn't want to hide it, she whispered:

"But the conditions are very demanding. It is necessary to preserve the soul of the dead and the body that has not decayed, and the taboo between life and death is not so easy to cross. Even if it is resurrected, the body function will be damaged, basically Live like an individual who is weak and sick, but there is a problem with that ritual during this period. It may take a long time before it can continue."

After speaking, Catherine patted her chest, assuring:

"It will not leak, Gordon, no one except Cyber ​​can find the host of that ceremony."

"Well, that's good, I can rest assured that Cyber ​​is doing things."

Gordon nodded in satisfaction, pushed his glasses, and waved goodbye to Catherine, but the moment he turned his head, a deep disappointment flashed in Director Gordon's eyes.

"Soul...I don't have any, body...no more...how can I save you..."

On the other side, in the cave under the sea, Cyber ​​is performing his monthly monitoring mission. The seal left by Gu Yi is very stable. There has been no problem in the first three months. Cyber ​​is taking it for granted this time. It won't be a problem, but when he entered the cave, he accidentally discovered that the sealing runes on the stone had been silently extinguished, 13 of them.

Although 13 runes were not a big deal for the seal with tens of thousands of runes, this situation still made Saibo take it seriously.

But just when he took out the runestone and was about to contact Gu Yi, a hoarse voice rang in his mind, very suddenly, just like Professor Charles used his spiritual power to invade his spirit.

"You...yes, it's you, I order you to lift this seal and release the great goddess of death Hela!"

"Yep?!"

Saibo turned his head and looked at the seal stone behind him. He suddenly became interested. Putting down the golden rune stone in his hand, he approached the seal. In the light shining with flames, he could vaguely see that trace of darkness surge. move.

"Who are you? Hela? Who is that... Wait, I remember it was said in the myth book that you are Loki's daughter?"

"Who is Loki? I don't know!"

The hoarse voice was a bit impatient, but she seemed to have to be patient again, like a situation where she had to tell a lot of secrets to a guy who was very insignificant, she said in a deep voice:

"Release me, I will give you everything you want!"

"Wow, it's a big tone."

Saibo pursed his mouth. He thought for a while and said to the voice claiming to be the goddess of death: "I want world peace."

"simple!"

The voice seemed to be maddeningly mad. After Saibo asked, she promised:

"If you kill them all, there will be no wars or disputes. Listen, the silence of death is where the real peace lies. Let me go out and I will help you kill all the people on this planet! It's very simple, very simple!"

"Uh... this method is simple and rude enough."

Saibo rubbed his chin, his expression was weird. In this sealing stone, I am afraid that there is a neurosis sealed in it?

A few seconds later, he tentatively asked:

"You are held here by Odin? What is your relationship with Odin?"

"Odin! Yes! Odin! I remember this name, he is an enemy! He is an opponent that must be killed, I will kill him! I will kill him, and then rule Asgard, I will take me The army of the army fought to the end of the stars and engraved my name on the most shining star...I'm going to kill him! Have you seen Odin? Is he still alive?"

The voice seemed to be irritated, screaming madly. She seemed anxious to know about Odin. Saibo wanted to tell her directly, but his eyes rolled and he said:

"Do you know what place this is? You should be an Asgardian, so you will call this place Midgart. The people from Asgar left Midgart 1000 years ago and went from here. Asgard is almost a distance that mortals can't cross. My source of information is very expensive. Exchange is equivalent, do you understand?"

"Ah, greedy fellow!"

Hela cursed with disdain, but soon she couldn't bear her curiosity. A guy who had been detained for 1300 years was miserable enough. She wanted to know the news about the outside world urgently. To seduce the person in front of her to let her out, so she quickly changed her attitude.

"But I don’t hate greedy people. It only takes a little effort to drive you to do a lot of things... So what do you want? Wait... I feel that you have a devilish aura, you and the devil Making a deal? What a bold mortal, in my time, a fellow like you would be tied to a pillar and burned by your compatriots, hahahaha."

"Is it funny to make a deal with the devil?"

Saibo's expression became cold, and he was about to pick up the golden runestone. Sure enough, Hela's voice became hasty:

"Damn it, put that thing down! I just said, I know what I'm going to use to trade with you, demons have endless pursuit of souls, and I... I have a lot of souls in my hands... Heroic souls you can't imagine, come on, come on, make a deal, one soul, one answer!"

"Well, it sounds good."

Saber rubbed his chin, he said: "I want the best! Don't deceive me with defective products, you have to understand that in your situation, a mortal who is willing and able to deal with you is Very rare."

"Of course, I will give you the best!"

Hela said in a deep voice, "I will give you the soul of the Valkyrie! Have you heard of it? Odin's most powerful armed maid, I have 12 here! But these little cuties are very expensive, if you want them. .. 10 questions for one! Also, don’t try to deceive me with lies, just rely on you...you can't hide death!"

"Ahem, five for one, you can ask."

Saibo's fingers were beating, and his bargaining was not rejected by Hela. It seemed that she really didn't care about the outflow of these powerful souls. After a while, Hela's problem quickly reflected in his spiritual world.

"How are Odin and Asgard doing?"

"Half a year ago, in the sleep of God, he almost died in the rebellion set off by his second son Loki. Asgard was invaded by dark elves and frost giants, almost swallowed by Eternal Darkness, and then reversed by the Supreme Mage. Order is restored, at least on the surface."

Saibo answered truthfully, of course, he did not forget to add a sentence: "Also, these are two questions!"

"It doesn't matter! He is alive... only if he is alive, I can kill him with my own hands, and I can feel the revenge of the sword piercing his heart... Ah, it's wonderful, it makes people think about it. Shaking all over! Ah... third question!"

Hela groaned like a sick lunatic, and she quickly asked the third question:

"Do the people of Asgard remember me? Do they remember the undefeated commander, Hela, the goddess of death?"

Cyber ​​recalled what he had seen and heard in Asgard, and shook his head:

"No, no one knows your name, and I have never seen any murals about you. You know, there are many murals in Asgard. Almost every famous person has his own mural."

"Ah! Coward! Miscellaneous! Bastard! Thief! Mouse! He stole my glory! He concealed my existence! Damn! Damn! I want to kill him! I want to kill them all!"

Hela screamed frantically. The dark spiritual power made Saibo's mental space a little unstable. From this alone, we could see Hela's strength, but this crazy woman didn't seem to lose her reason:

"How on earth are you willing to let me out?"

"I won't let you out! No matter what!"

Saibo shook his head and rejected this proposal. At least while Gu Yi was still alive, he would never take this risk, but this answer seemed to be what Hela expected. At this moment, she went from madness to wiser again. Shen Sheng said:

"You need a soul, I can feel your desire, but how can a mortal soul compare to the gods of Asgard... My last question, or rather, the last request... Don’t let me be with you? Tell the truth of the conversation to that powerful mage, hide this thing..."

"You are so sure that I will agree?"

Cyber ​​squinted playfully. He played with the soul thrown by Hela from the 13 extinguished runes: "Are you so sure that I will eventually reach some agreement with you?"

"Hehe, believe me, when I was fighting against the stars, I saw a lot of people like you... Your name is Saibo, right? Well... a person with the name of a war knife, people like you won't be willing I have been under the control of others for a lifetime. If you have a need, I can help you, and with the current me, this step is already the limit. You see, you can call the mage to seal me again at any time. The initiative has always been in In your hands."

"If this is the case, what are you afraid of? The transaction between you and me will always be beneficial to you! Since it is a beneficial thing, why not do it?"

"well said!"

Saibo stood up and stretched, "But I refuse! I have never had the habit of being friends with a poisonous snake hiding in the dark."

He shook the sleeping soul in his hand: "Look, you can do such a dangerous deal once. Do you really think I am a lunatic who desperately cares for power?"

"boom"

The rune stone was crushed, but just before he crushed the rune stone, Gu Yi's figure walked out of the space next to him. She glanced at Saibo and then at the soul in Saibo's hand, the Supreme Mage With a wave of his hand, the 13 extinguished runes instantly lit up again, and there was a heavier layer of magic power wrapped around the surface of the seal stone, trapping it tightly.

"Only this time, not as an example!"
