Chapter 282: The Distortion of Human Nature, the Degradation of Morality, and the End of the World Has Arrived!
In the hotel room.
Su Sheng sat on the sofa watching TV, the Blonde Female Nazi sat silently to his left, Harley Quinn sat to his right fiddling with the Right Hand of Doom, and Liz Sherman sat quietly beside Harley Quinn, seemingly lost in thought. Outside, a cacophony of noise rose and fell, and every channel on the TV was broadcasting news about the arrival of the chaos seven gods and the military's deployment.
An hour ago, Su Sheng brought them back to the hotel, and since then, their sitting positions had barely changed.
"Darling, can they succeed?"
Harley Quinn put down the Right Hand of Doom, looked up at the TV, and leaned against Su Sheng, asking with interest.
"Hard to say!" Su Sheng shook his head slightly. If, like in the movie, the summoning ritual was disrupted and the chaos seven gods were forced to possess the wizard's body, perhaps there wouldn't be much danger, as it wasn't their true form directly descending, and Hellboy could resolve it with a high-explosive bomb.
But now that the ritual was successful and the true form of the chaos seven gods had appeared, it was a different story.
They were, after all, at the level of demon gods, and human weapons might not be effective.
"Oh." Harley Quinn responded, then stood up and walked to the window to look outside.
The streets were already in chaos. Such an unnatural phenomenon coupled with the appearance of the chaos seven gods made many people disregard so-called morals and laws. Just like Gotham when it was ruled by Bane, the darkness and evil within people's hearts had completely festered.
"It's so chaotic, but… I like it," Harley Quinn said, turning around. "Can I go out and have some fun?"
"As you wish," Su Sheng said with a light laugh.
Harley Quinn chuckled and jumped directly out the window. The next moment, a yellow light illuminated, and she quickly flew away.
Chaos was nothing to Harley Quinn; in fact, it was paradise.
Burning, killing, looting—even before it was confirmed whether the end of the world would truly come, chaos had slowly spread. An hour later, the military's firepower had arrived at the chaos seven gods' point of appearance and launched an attack. However, it had no effect; instead, it caused the chaos seven gods to release a special gaseous substance. Human soldiers, upon inhaling it, were instantly transformed into some kind of frog-like monsters. In almost no time, an entire army had become the chaos seven gods' frog-man army and began to wreak havoc everywhere.
The chaos seven gods, for their part, showed no mercy, wantonly destroying buildings and cities, as if intent on destroying the entire world.
As the reported situation worsened, chaos and uprisings broke out in various places.
The government had to suppress these uprisings on one hand and figure out how to deal with this monster on the other. The situation showed signs of spiraling out of control. Especially after Harley Quinn went out to have fun, she further fueled the chaos, making the situation even more disorderly. The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, as the department most knowledgeable and adept at handling this matter, naturally bore the brunt. They contacted Hellboy on one hand and thought of ways to save the world on the other.
However, Hellboy's 'father' was already dead, and others treated him as a monster, so Hellboy had no intention of contacting them, disappearing without a trace. After the chaos seven gods left their point of descent, they rushed there and didn't find Hellboy, but they did find the wizard's corpse!
As the chaos seven gods' most loyal worshiper, it was clear that in their eyes, he was no different from any other human!
"Snap!"
Su Sheng closed the virtual projection of his wristband and turned to look at the Blonde Female Nazi. The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense had discovered the wizard's Death, and the Blonde Female Nazi had seen it too.
Her mood was very complex now.
Or rather, she herself didn't understand what her current mood was.
"Is there anything you want to do?" Su Sheng suddenly asked her.
She looked up, Stunned for a moment, and shook her head.
Before, what she did was help the wizard summon the chaos seven gods, but now… she was very lost. The wizard's actions, coupled with his Death, made her suddenly feel as if she had no backbone, no faith, no direction! She looked at Su Sheng and inexplicably recalled bits and pieces from her dreams; her originally empty heart felt as if it had been refilled with something.
"What do you need me to do?" she asked in a deep voice.
Su Sheng smiled. "I want you to belong to me!"
I… I am yours now," she whispered.
"No!" Su Sheng reached out and poked her heart. "I want only me here!"
"When you can kill a wizard as indifferently as you kill others, only then will this place truly belong to me! I said, I want you to fall in love with me, not just possess you!" Su Sheng smiled and suddenly pulled her up. "Love develops over time, and I believe any amount of time can make it happen."
After speaking, Su Sheng directly pulled her to the bed.
… …
… …
One week, just one week.
The Frogman army of the chaos seven gods had expanded countless times, and countless cities and nations had fallen. The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense had unofficially collapsed on the third day; without Hellboy and Professor Broom, the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense was a disorganized mess, and the remaining Abe Sapien and the agents simply couldn't hold the line.
After countless agents died, Abe Sapien had no choice but to leave the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense and go to an environment more suitable for his survival: the ocean.
After that, he was never heard from again.
Human civilization seemed incredibly fragile in the face of powerful gods and demons, and the fallen humans accelerated the process of destruction.
Second week, third week.
A month later.
Under the consultation of various countries, nuclear weapons were used for destructive strikes, but aside from leaving barren environments and ecological damage, they did not eliminate the chaos seven gods. At this current rate, it is feared that the entire world will fall within half a year, and Earth will officially enter the apocalypse.
In this desperate environment, human civilization seemed to have regressed to a primitive world.
Money and valuables became worthless.
Supplies and population became hard currency, and armed factions emerged one after another.
The distortion of human nature and the degradation of morality.
With external gods, demonic monsters, and internal human malice, the arrival of the apocalypse was much faster than estimated.
Chapter 283: Darling, why don't you collect this world?
Although the apocalypse was triggered by Su Shengturning the key, its expansion speed caught him off guard.
During this time, the most common thing Su Sheng did was to understand the extent of the collapse around the world. Earth was not just inhabited by ordinary humans; various gods, demons, wizards, and the like began to emerge in an endless stream. Some carved out territories, treating both humans and Frogmen, or other Outliers, as enemies, while others stood with humanity and rose up in resistance.
New characters appeared every day, and new characters fell every day.
The city where Su Sheng's hotel was located was already deserted, the streets were a mess, and supplies had basically been scavenged clean, except for their hotel. Su Sheng didn't even need to act; Blonde Female Nazi and Liz Sherman were enough to keep those people from daring to approach. As for Harley Quinn? She collected protection fees.
She collected from faction after faction; if they didn't pay? ~ Then she would just destroy them.
The protection fees she collected, which were supplies, filled six rooms in the hotel, and there was still room for more.
"Why are you gathering so many supplies?" Seeing Harley Quinn return with large bags again, Su Sheng, lying on Blonde Female Nazi's lap, couldn't help but say with a chuckle. "If there's news, we might leave at any time. We can't possibly finish all this food."
"It's fun!" Harley Quinn giggled and threw herself into Su Sheng's arms, saying triumphantly, "The apocalypse is so much fun! One can, just one can, can make people betray and kill each other. When most of the supplies are used up, I'll take them out and let them entertain me. Whoever can make me happy, I'll give it to them!"
"What a twisted sense of humor," Su Sheng chuckled.
"This isn't a twisted sense of humor, darling. You don't know how valuable these things are now. For goods like this, a bottle of water, just a bottle of water, and you can play with them however you want." Harley Quinnpointed at Blonde Female Nazi.
Blonde Female Nazi snorted but said nothing.
"Snort what? If it weren't for my darling's interest in you, I would have thrown you out for water long ago," Harley Quinn pouted.
"You ask him, if he doesn't mind, I don't care either!" Blonde Female Nazi said, stroking Su Sheng's cheek.
Similar bickering had happened many times. Harley Quinn didn't mind Su Sheng having other 'pillows,' and even sleeping together at night was fine. She had seen so many 'pillows' before, as long as Su Sheng was happy. However, being together day and night, who got more or less attention would inevitably make her a little jealous, so she would often make sarcastic remarks. At first, Blonde Female Nazi didn't retort, but gradually, she started to fight back.
Back and forth, give and take.
It gradually became a habit.
In contrast, Harley Quinn found Liz Sherman much more agreeable. She had now basically mastered her abilities, was quiet, obedient, and didn't compete for favor. Occasionally, she would even go out with Harley Quinnto scavenge. Even if they couldn't be called best friends, it was definitely better than with Blonde Female Nazi. After all, Su Sheng hadn't done anything to Liz Sherman yet.
"Oh, darling, I just received news that the big red guy seems to have reappeared and found a few helpers to deal with the chaos seven gods. I haven't enjoyed myself enough yet, what if they succeed?" After a few exchanges, Harley Quinn turned to Su Sheng and said.
"Without the Right Hand of Doom, it's not that easy to defeat the chaos seven gods," Su Sheng chuckled.
Harley Quinn nodded, rubbing her chin against Su Sheng's chest. "Darling, can we discuss something?"
"What is it?"
"What if, I mean, what if Black Death Emperor suddenly appears and we have to go back immediately? It's been so long, Black Death Emperor should be appearing soon, right? You're so fickle, once you leave, you might not come back, right?" Harley Quinn said somewhat coquettishly.
Harley Quinn was right. After all, there were still so many unexperienced worlds and things, and he might truly not be interested in coming back after leaving. But Harley Quinn was different; this was the first world she had transmigrated to, and it was a world she was interested in. She definitely wouldn't want to leave and not return before she had had enough fun.
"What do you want to say?" Su Sheng asked with a smile.
"How about you collect this world?" Harley Quinn said with a giggle, "Anyway, you have a Krypton city and an amusement park, so one more world wouldn't hurt."
"Alright, as long as you can make me happy, I'll agree." Collecting a world wasn't possible, but collecting Earth should be. Since Harley Quinn was interested, satisfying her small request was no big deal.
"You said it!"
Harley Quinn cheered excitedly and suddenly turned to hug Blonde Female Nazi, directly kissing her under her astonished gaze.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, are you crazy? What are you doing!" Blonde Female Nazi was startled by Harley Quinn's actions and quickly tried to push her away, but Harley Quinn was even more proactive, pushing her onto the bed and quickly stripping her naked.
Su Sheng got up from Blonde Female Nazi's head and lay beside her, watching Harley Quinn's aggressive assault with interest. From Blonde Female Nazi's curses and resistance to her helplessness and passive acceptance under Harley Quinn's ministrations, it indeed had a unique feeling.
Although Su Sheng often 'drove two cars' at once, it was the first time the two cars were 'colliding' with each other, and the feeling was completely different.
Su Sheng knew very well that neither Harley Quinn nor Blonde Female Nazi were lesbians, and they were only doing this to please him. He had to admit, this move was very effective. After watching for a while, Su Shengfelt he couldn't hold back anymore and directly pounced on them, taking both of them at once. At this time, Liz Sherman had quietly left, apparently already accustomed to such sights.
Noon.
The sun was high, and Harley Quinn and Liz Shermanhad gone out to play again. With nothing else to do, Su Sheng took Blonde Female Nazi and prepared to go out for a stroll to see the apocalyptic scene.
There were no pedestrians to be seen on the broken and desolate roads.
At least for nearly an hour of walking, he hadn't seen any people, or even animals.
"What are you thinking about?" She had been very silent along the way, Su Sheng asked casually.
Blonde Female Nazi shook her head: "I just find it ridiculous. What I believed in and pursued before has turned out like this. If it weren't for you, I think I would have died like a wizard."
She suddenly stopped and said seriously.
"I feel it's time. Can you resurrect him? Resurrect the wizard!"
Chapter 284: The Elven Princess and The Golden Army
"Alright."
Seeing the serious expression of the Blonde Female Nazi, Su Sheng chuckled and suddenly activated the Speed Force.
A sapphire blue light enveloped him, leaving the Blonde Female Nazi wide-eyed with astonishment. Although Su Sheng hadn't displayed many astonishing abilities during this period, the fact that he didn't take Harley Quinn's manifestation power, which was comparable to a god's ability, seriously indicated that his strength was definitely greater than Harley Quinn's.
Moreover, their conversation didn't avoid her and Liz Sherman at all; she clearly heard things like Black Death Emperor, another world, and collecting this world.
They, like the chaos seven gods, were from another world!
Boom!
A gust of wind blew past, and the Blonde Female Nazisuddenly realized Su Sheng was gone. She blinked in confusion, then saw him reappear before her. If he hadn't brought the wizard with him, the Blonde Female Nazi would have thought she was hallucinating.
"This…"
Watching the wizard being thrown to the ground by Su Sheng, the Blonde Female Nazi looked shocked.
He's alive, he's really resurrected?
"How did you do that?" she couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"It's not important!" Su Sheng smiled without speaking, stepping back slightly to look at her.
He could have used the Black Lantern's power to resurrect the wizard, but it was too troublesome. So, he simply traveled through time and brought him back before the chaos seven gods summoned him to be killed.
"You, you…"
The wizard was still confused, but the Blonde Female Nazi decisively pulled out a dagger from her waist and slashed it across the wizard's neck.
It was swift and clean, without any hesitation or pause.
Pfft!
Blood splattered, and the wizard's eyes widened as he looked at the Blonde Female Nazi, then convulsed and slowly fell to the ground. Su Sheng's hand trembled slightly, and the Black Lantern's darkness instantly enveloped the wizard. The feeling of Death… seemed not bad either. A moment later, the darkness vanished, leaving only a skeleton of the wizard. The Blonde Female Nazi slowly put away her dagger, her face unperturbed, seemingly unchanged.
Su Sheng smiled and raised his hand, and in an instant, a purple crystal materialized in his palm.
"This crystal can show you the person your heart truly loves," Su Sheng said softly.
The Blonde Female Nazi subconsciously nodded; she had already seen the figure appearing in the crystal. It wasn't the wizard, but Su Sheng!
"It's you!" The Blonde Female Nazi looked at Su Sheng.
Su Sheng smiled!
The method of developing feelings over time truly worked. A series of experiences, plus getting the first blood, and spending time together, indeed made her fall in love with him. Su Sheng retracted the materialized amethyst and continued walking with the Blonde Female Nazi, smiling. As for the wizard's Death, neither of them discussed it, as if it had never happened.
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.
Faint, chaotic footsteps sounded from afar.
"Someone," Su Sheng said, stopping. He really wanted to see what people looked like after the apocalypse.
The Blonde Female Nazi didn't hear any sound, but seeing Su Sheng so certain, she also looked on curiously. About five or six minutes later, a figure appeared in their sight in the distance.
A woman!
A woman in a golden-white robe stumbled out. This woman wasn't just wearing golden-white; her entire being felt golden-white, like a vampire with a pale face and long platinum hair. She seemed somewhat flustered, as if hiding from something. Seeing Su Shengand the Blonde Female Nazi, she paused, then quickly changed direction.
Su Sheng's lips curved upward, and his body swayed instantly. The next moment, the woman had been caught and brought back.
"You…"
"Psychic ability?" Before the woman could finish speaking, Su Sheng felt a mental presence invading him, attempting to extract his memories.
Copy, Overlay.
Su Sheng directly countered.
"Mmph." The woman groaned in pain and collapsed to the ground.
"Interesting, an Elven Princess?" Su Sheng narrowed his eyes, examining the woman. She should be the Elven Princess from "Hellboy: The Golden Army," right?
Legend has it that long ago, humans, beasts, and magical races lived under the Father Tree, Allan. Human greed and savagery grew daily, and elves, ogres, and goblins suffered massacres. The Elven King, Balor, witnessed the human slaughter and felt deep fear and despair. At this time, a goblin blacksmith found the king and offered to help him forge the Golden Army: seventy units of seventy soldiers, tireless, unstoppable, indestructible monsters… Prince Nuada sought his father's permission, and so the magic crown was forged. Those with royal blood could command the Golden Army.
But the Golden Army was too brutal, indiscriminately attacking friend and foe, disobeying orders, and possessing no loyalty. So, the Elven King made an agreement with humans: he divided the crown into three pieces, giving one to humans and keeping the other two himself. In exchange, magical creatures would have the forests and human cities would not be encroached upon. Thus, the Golden Army fell into slumber, locked deep underground, silently waiting. But Prince Nuada, disbelieving human greed and promises, chose self-exile, leaving his home, vowing to return when most needed.
Apparently.
The prince had returned.
From the memory of this Elven Princess, Nuala, it was learned that after the apocalypse, Prince Nuada found one of the crown fragments kept by humans and successfully killed his father to obtain another. He intended to summon the Golden Army, but he was still missing the last piece, the crown fragment kept by Nuala.
"Elven Princess?" The Blonde Female Nazi looked at the woman in surprise.
"Take her back," Su Sheng said with a smile. The Blonde Female Nazi went up and grabbed the princess, then saw Su Sheng release a Shockwave Wormhole, leading directly to the hotel room. Just as they returned, Harley Quinn and Liz Sherman also came back.
"Where did you pick this one up? She's so ugly," Harley Quinn asked casually, examining the Elven Princess.
Elves, it sounded like they should be those with pointed ears and breathtaking beauty, but in reality, she wasn't beautiful at all, not even as good-looking as many vampire characters in movies and TV shows. Su Shengbriefly introduced her, and Harley Quinn became interested, touching the Elven Princess up and down, wanting to see what was special about elves, and then… she was somewhat disappointed.
There was really nothing special.
Su Sheng brought her back not out of lust, nor because he valued her special status as an Elven Princess, but because… of the Golden Army.
…

Chapter 285: Either Kill Me, or Be Killed by Her!
"Her brother is hunting her down; a monster will be here in a while." Su Sheng looked at Harley Quinn, who instantly understood, nodded with a playful smile, and went out.
A monster?
She loved fighting monsters the most.
"Take the item from her belt and give it to me," Su Sheng said, looking at the Elven Princess. The Blonde Female Nazi directly snatched it and handed it to Su Sheng.
A special golden disc, one-third of the magic crown.
"You can't…"
"Give me the item, human!"
Before the princess could finish speaking, a somewhat hoarse voice sounded.
Everyone turned to look and saw a man very similar to the Elven Princess appear at the door, holding a short blade.
"Brother." The Elven Princess subconsciously called out.
The person who came was indeed her brother, Nuada, the Prince of the Elves.
"You came quite fast, I was planning to look for you!" Su Sheng chuckled, shaking the shattered pieces of the Magic Crown. "Want it? I can give it to you, but I have conditions."
"You are not worthy to negotiate with me!"
Nuada snorted coldly, gripping the short blade in his hand and charging directly. His movements were very agile and precise, looking like he had practiced. The Blonde Female Nazi raised her hand and threw a dagger, which he deflected. In a few steps, he arrived in front of Su Sheng and swung his blade to stab. Su Sheng waved his hand, signaling the Blonde Female Nazi and Liz Sherman not to come over, then tilted his head and easily dodged the attack.
Anuda sneered, and the short blade suddenly extended, directly hooking Su Sheng's neck from behind and pulling hard.
He wanted to directly hook and slice Su Sheng's neck.
Clang!
A crisp sound rang out, and the blade tip shattered directly. Anuda retreated a few steps, looking at the shattered blade tip, then at Su Sheng, who was smiling at the corner of his mouth, and froze.
He was even harder than his own weapon!
Anuda snorted coldly, and the weapon in his hand automatically restored itself. He charged at Su Shengagain.
Su Sheng's eyes lit up. The moment Anuda moved, he moved with him, grabbing the silver spear with one hand and pushing out with the other.
Bang!
Nuada's body instantly flew out, crashing heavily against the wall. After landing, he let out a painful, distorted groan and convulsively spat out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, his sister, the Elven Princess, also collapsed to the ground, spitting blood. It seemed her injuries were identical to Nuada's.
"What is going on?"
"They, the siblings, have a special connection. It's not just telepathy; if one is injured, the other will suffer the same injury." Su Sheng explained, looking at the silver spear in his hand.
This spear is very good!
It can extend and retract, and most importantly, it can automatically restore itself.
This is also why he wanted the Golden Army. The Golden Army's indestructibility also refers to its ability to automatically restore itself. Su Sheng had always wanted his battle suit to also have an automatic repair function. Turning, he walked to the sofa and sat down. Su Sheng ignored the Elven siblings and began to study the Silver Spear.
It should be an enchanted weapon that can recover infinitely.
Unfortunately, Su Sheng does not understand this kind of magic. It was crafted by Goblins, using the same method as crafting the Golden Army!
"Search, he should have other Magic Crown fragments on him." Su Sheng said, and the Blonde Female Naziwalked over to search him and quickly found them.
"Give… give them back to me…" Nuada struggled, reaching out to snatch them back, but he was too severely injured to get up.
Although Su Sheng had only given a light push, the Elves' small bodies truly couldn't withstand it. Su Shengreleased his psychic ability and quickly found the location of the Golden Army in Nuada's memory.
"Harley, are you done yet?" Su Sheng called out loudly.
Outside the building, Harley Quinn's response was soon heard. "Almost, almost."
A dozen seconds later, Harley Quinn flew back, saying with a giggle, "This monster is very interesting! It's so big, and one of its fists is mechanical, even with a chain that can fly out." She gesticulated wildly as she described it.
"Let's go, let's go see something even more fun."
A Shockwave Wormhole was released, and Su Shengtook everyone directly to the location of the Golden Army.
As for the Elven siblings? Well, nobody cared about them.
The dim, gloomy palace was filled with mechanical designs. A long, floating bridge led to circular structures on both sides, which contained the Golden Army. Although this Magic Crown could only be opened by those with royal bloodline, Su Sheng had just Copied Anuda's ability, and bloodline was one of his primary abilities.
Combining the three fragments of the Magic Crown, Su Sheng slowly placed it on his head.
The next moment, a loud clanking sound was heard. The circular structures opened one by one, and mechanical bodies, emitting red light and Heat Wave, slowly emerged.
"It really is a hodgepodge world!"
Although this was the work of Goblins, and somewhat similar to myths and legends, seeing the Golden Army, full of countless precise parts and with bodies made of machinery, the sense of incongruity was still very strong. Su Sheng didn't even need to give a command; Harley Quinn had already excitedly materialized her weapon and charged towards the dense Golden Army.
The Golden Army seemed not to be sturdy, easily shattered, but… it quickly restored itself.
"Don't just focus on playing, try to destroy them completely!" Su Sheng shouted to Harley Quinn, then turned to the other two and said, "There's another Goblin here; you two go grab it."
A short while later, amidst Harley Quinn's fierce battle, the two returned, carrying a legless Goblin.
"How did its leg get lost?" Su Sheng asked casually.
"It was… burned while crafting the Golden Army," the Goblin said, trembling as it glanced at the Golden Armynot far away.
Su Sheng casually handed the Silver Spear to the Goblin, then stood in front of him.
"Kill me!"
"What?" The Goblin looked at the Silver Spear with some greed but was startled by Su Sheng.
"Liz." Su Sheng called out to Liz Sherman, and flames instantly shot out from Liz Sherman's hand.
"Either kill me, or be killed by her."
Su Sheng stared at the Goblin. The Goblin, watching the flames getting closer, closed its eyes and stabbed itself.
Clang!
The Silver Spear shattered. The Goblin stared wide-eyed as Su Sheng casually took the Silver Spear back and waved his hand. Immediately after, the Blonde Female Nazi threw the Goblin out!
Su Sheng's lips curved into a smile.
Although this Goblin's skill wasn't great, Su Sheng had already Copied its ability to forge enchantments.
Chapter 286: Blood Queen and the Collected Earth
"Boom!" A loud bang echoed, and a Yellow Lanternlight illuminated the dim space.
The light gradually faded. Harley Quinn, dressed in a Yellow Lantern uniform, floated in the air, looking at the struck Golden Army. After waiting for a while, the shattered Golden Army warrior did not restore itself. She pouted, then turned and flew to Su Sheng's side. "Done. It shouldn't be able to restore itself anymore!"
Su Sheng nodded.
The power level of this world is still far inferior to that of the DC World. When Harley Quinn gets serious and uses Yellow Lantern power, she can still destroy things. Taking off the Magic Crown from his head, Su Shengwalked over to examine the damaged golden warrior, inspecting its parts and structure, and began to work. In a short while, this golden warrior had transformed into a golden battle suit.
Su Sheng combined nanotechnology with battle suit technology to merge this golden battle suit with the Magic Crown, while also modifying and adding to the original enchantments, transforming it into an enchanted version of a Magic Crown-shaped battle suit. Turning around, Su Sheng walked towards the Blonde Female Nazi and placed the crown on her head. In an instant, the crown deformed and extended.
A set of golden battle armor covered the Blonde Female Nazi's body.
The mask retracted, and the Blonde Female Nazi stared blankly at the golden battle suit, somewhat astonished. "This battle suit can not only protect you and provide you with super combat power, but it can also allow you to command and control the remaining Golden Army."
"Thank you!"
Among the three women, Harley Quinn had a Yellow Lantern Ring, Liz Sherman had fire abilities, and Astra, besides her ability to maintain eternal youth, had no special powers.
But now, not only did she gain a Golden Armor, she also acquired the Golden Army!
Su Sheng waved his hand dismissively, turned around, and summoned his own armor to modify it.
Although this new function was just icing on the cake and not very practical for Su Sheng, he was still very satisfied; he might not need the armor, but the armor had to be high-end.
This place was large and very secluded, and moving the Golden Army would cause too much commotion, while leaving them here would be inconvenient for future use.
So, they simply moved everything from the hotel here and temporarily resided in this place.
As for the elven siblings? They were gone when Su Sheng returned, presumably having escaped, though whether they could survive such severe injuries was hard to say.
With a sufficiently large place and a Golden Army to practice with, Harley Quinn and Blonde Female Nazicouldn't stay quiet.
Although they both held back, their fighting was endless.
"Stop, stop, stop, stop!"
Harley Quinn, in the midst of their fierce battle, suddenly yelled.
Blonde Female Nazi signaled the Golden Army to stop and also retracted her mask, looking over in confusion.
"Did you hear that? Damn it… Liz Sherman is secretly eating!"
Harley Quinn cursed angrily and flew towards the palace.
Inside the palace, a room materialized, filled with a deep blue flame, radiating waves of heat.
As soon as the two arrived, they saw Liz Sherman in the room, pinned down by Su Sheng, groaning endlessly, her groans seemingly in sync with the deep blue flames, which waxed and waned in intensity.
They weren't surprised, as even Liz Sherman herself had a premonition that this was bound to happen sooner or later.
With the two of them fighting so intensely, Su Shengnaturally sought her out.
The flames gradually extinguished.
Su Sheng put on his clothes, shook them out, and emerged from the materialized room, laughing, "Are you two done fighting? I just received a message that the human population in this world has dwindled to only one-fifth, and it won't be long before this world is ruled by the chaos seven gods!"
"That won't do!"
Harley Quinn said anxiously.
"Its frogmen aren't fun, didn't Big Brother Red go to deal with the chaos seven gods?"
"He failed," Su Sheng said casually.
"The interesting thing is that they weren't defeated by the chaos seven gods, but by someone called the Blood Queen.
Now, Hellboy has truly returned to hell."
This information was gathered before he slept with Liz Sherman.
Hellboy, Abe Sapien, and a guy wearing armor but actually existing only as gas, teamed up to fight the chaos seven gods and save the world.
Unfortunately, midway they encountered a woman named the Blood Queen.
Su Sheng was not clear about this woman's identity; at least, he couldn't find any information about her in the existing network, but she was very strong.
All three of them were killed by the Blood Queen, and Hellboy, having lost his Right Hand of Doom, had his power greatly reduced and was no match.
Su Sheng was not surprised by this result, as Hellboywas not the type of person with overwhelming power; what surprised him was this Blood Queen!
She looked exactly like Alice, the protagonist from Resident Evil.
"Blood Queen?"
"Ning, Ning Wei?"
Blonde Female Nazi paused for a moment and explained in a low voice.
"I forgot where I saw records about the Blood Queen.
Legend says she was the one who seduced and betrayed humans, the new Queen of Witches, the Queen of Blood.
She proclaimed herself the Goddess of War, but she has been dead for many years."
"At the end of the world, it's not surprising for all sorts of strange demons to pop out," Su Sheng said with a smile.
"Anyway, whether it's the chaos seven gods or this Blood Queen Ning Wei, they both intend to destroy humanity, right?"
Harley Quinn pouted.
"What I want is the end of the world, not the destruction of humanity, darling, let's go kill them, shall we? And it's too boring playing with these robots every day."
"Alright."
Su Sheng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement; firstly, to satisfy Harley Quinn's request, and secondly, he was getting a bit tired of waiting.
Black Death Emperor still hadn't appeared, and Su Sheng didn't want to wait anymore!
"I'll go collect this world first, and then you can take your time playing!"
Su Sheng said, instantly teleporting into mid-air with magic, and then, with a boom, flew towards the sky.
Through the clouds, through the atmosphere.
Su Sheng arrived in space, outside Earth.
Looking at this massive blue planet, Su Sheng directly shot out a shrinking beam, which then multiplied its power by a hundredfold.
In an instant.
The shrinking beam began to expand exponentially, and as it struck the Earth, the planet rapidly changed.
In a flash.
The beam disappeared, and the Earth, shrunk countless times, floated in space.
Su Sheng went over, held the Earth in his hand, closed his eyes, and sensed Earth One, then released a Wave Transmission Wormhole and jumped directly into it.
Whoosh!
The next moment, Su Sheng was back on the Discipleon Earth One.
…
PS: The Hellboy world plot is not yet finished.
Chapter 287: To Them, We Are God!
The sky collapsed and the earth crumbled, with mountains shaking.
Not long after Su Sheng left, Harley Quinn and the others felt a violent tremor.
The ground began to crack, and the palace began to collapse.
Harley Quinn released Yellow Lantern energy, enveloping the tired Liz Sherman and the Blonde Female Nazi, who had put on her Golden Armor, and rushed out.
As soon as they rushed out, they were stunned.
The sky… it was black!
Utterly dark, with howling winds.
Tornadoes swept wildly, the ground cracked in various places, the ocean nearby seemed to generate tsunamis devouring the land, and volcanoes erupted in many parts of the world.
This… this was truly the scene of the end of the world.
Both the struggling humans and the rampant gods and demons were startled by this sudden anomaly.
"Oh God, are humans really not going to be given a way to live?"
The struggling humans gathered together, praying in despair.
"Who did this?!"
In one location, the Blood Queen, clad in a blood-red robe, had a solemn expression.
"I can feel the whole world withering.
Is it the chaos seven gods? No, it's not it; it can't do this!"
The enormous octopus, the chaos seven gods, which had been suspended in mid-air, had now landed on the ground, sensing the changes in this world with an unclear meaning.
The frogmen it had transformed trembled, not daring to move even as tsunamis swept and the earth cracked and mountains crumbled, only able to helplessly await Death.
What happened to this world?
This was the question all humans, all gods and demons, wanted to know.
"Darling, the world is about to be destroyed."
Harley Quinn contacted Su Sheng through her Yellow Lantern Ring.
Perhaps the people on Earth didn't feel the effect of the shrinking beam, didn't feel themselves shrinking.
But as soon as Su Sheng left, all sorts of doomsday signs appeared, and to say there was no connection, who would believe it?
"The world is going to be destroyed?"
Su Sheng was stunned, then opened his palm and looked into the Earth.
Stacked vision.
In an instant, he could clearly see all sorts of natural disasters occurring within the Earth.
"Don't worry, I'll handle it immediately!"
Su Sheng replied and went to the collection room.
Temporarily putting down the Earth, Su Sheng shrunk himself and went to the Krypton city, Argo City.
As soon as he entered, Su Sheng called over Alura, Astra, and Fiora.
I brought back Earth from another universe after shrinking it, and now various disasters have occurred. Can you stabilize its environment to make it suitable for life, just like this one?" Su Sheng said directly.
The three of them had different expressions upon hearing this.
Alura was thinking of a solution, while Astra and Fioraseemed thoughtful.
Clearly, a planet was better than a city. The thought of rebuilding Krypton, which they had believed extinguished, was instantly rekindled.
"Don't get any ideas, this planet isn't for you!" Su Shengsaid indifferently.
Both of them immediately showed disappointed expressions.
Simulating an ecological environment suitable for Earth was both difficult and simple. Perhaps Earth's technology couldn't do it, but Krypton's technology could. After all, Argo City, being just a city, could survive in the universe. Soon, Alura called for people and equipment. At the same time, Su Sheng had Fiora call the guard team, and then he brought them all out in one go. The guard team directly entered the shrunken Earth, while Alura and the others returned to normal size and began setting up from the outside.
It was chaos.
Inside Earth, it was complete chaos.
Su Sheng notified Harley Quinn to assist Fiora and the others in releasing equipment internally, with devices being placed in different corners of Earth.
Half an hour later, the equipment started.
A transparent energy shield covered the outside of Earth.
Su Sheng looked at Alura, and Alura nodded.
"Is it done?" Su Sheng asked Harley Quinn.
Harley Quinn flew around Earth, confirmed that all the landslides and ground fissures had stopped, the tsunamis and whirlwinds had ceased, and even the volcanoes had stopped erupting, before answering Su Sheng.
"It's done!" Su Sheng chuckled. He hadn't expected that bringing Earth from another world back would almost lead to a true apocalypse.
Under this series of natural disasters, Earth was probably already a wasteland.
Su Sheng turned to Alura and asked about the specific situation. As long as the equipment inside Earth wasn't destroyed, it would be no different from before. The only difference was that the original Earth was in another universe, and the current Earth was just on Su Sheng's display shelf in his collection room. Night, day, climate, and temperature could all be simulated and alternated according to the original conditions automatically. The only difference might be that Earth wouldn't need to rotate.
Su Sheng had Harley Quinn bring out Fiora and the Kryptonian guard team. Su Sheng thanked Alura for her hard work and sent them back to Argo City.
Rainbow-colored light glowed. Su Sheng materialized a stand similar to an orrery and placed Earth on it. After thinking for a moment, he also placed Argo City, the Kryptonian city, and the amusement park he had materialized on it.
"God!" Harley Quinn suddenly exclaimed.
Su Sheng turned to see Harley Quinn excitedly pointing at Earth, her arm linked with his, saying, "To the people inside Earth, we must be God, right? We control their lives and the life of this planet. With a gentle wave of our hand, this Earth would be destroyed, and all living creatures inside would be extinct. This… this must be God!"
Su Sheng nodded. From this perspective, they indeed were God.
He suddenly understood why Brainiac liked collecting cities. This feeling was really awesome! Su Sheng's gaze fell on the other blank spaces of the orrery. Perhaps… he could collect a few more interesting Earths? Then, he could install a teleportation device in each small world and small Earth. My goodness, for them, wouldn't the places they went to be considered parallel universes?
The more Su Sheng thought about it, the more interesting it seemed.
"Look, look, this little tentacle is so cute. Is this chaos seven gods? Is this guy trying to get out?" Harley Quinnsuddenly leaned excitedly towards Earth. Su Shengfollowed and took a look, seeing several tentacles extending from Earth through the transparent energy shield. A small octopus seemed to be trying to drill out of Earth.
"Get down!" Harley Quinn stretched out her finger, passed through the energy shield, and directly poked the small octopus that was trying to get out.
The small octopus was instantly pushed back down.
Inside Earth, the colossal chaos seven gods seemed to suffer a violent blow, falling directly from the sky.
With a loud boom.
The chaos seven gods crashed to the ground, instantly kicking up dust and strong winds.
…
PS: Although it's not entirely fitting, I inexplicably thought of The Truman Show. Your world, your life, might just be a play in someone else's eyes. Also, please continue to give flowers and rewards. We're only 10,000 flowers short of catching up to the total flowers of the Door-Door Fruit, and it seems we're only 10,000 rewards short of catching up to the total rewards of the Immortal Throne!
Chapter 288: Atlantis to wage war on the land?
"I want to go in, I want to go in." After a finger pushed the chaos seven gods back, Harley Quinn excitedly shook Su Sheng's arm, repeatedly shouting.
"Alright, alright." Su Sheng chuckled and nodded, shrinking Harley Quinn and reminding her, "I'll set up another layer of energy outside the energy shield later to prevent any small things from running out. Just let me know if you want to come out."
"Got it." Harley Quinn nodded and flew directly in. "Amusement park, here I come~."
For Harley Quinn, this world was pretty much an amusement park.
Nations and cities had already fallen before, and now, after experiencing a destructive natural disaster, it could be said to have completely turned into a wasteland. Although Kryptonian technology could simulate a normal ecological environment, many natural resources would inevitably become scarce. Harley Quinn wanted to deal with those miscellaneous gods and demons. This Earth should soon transform from a mythical magic world into a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Rainbow-colored light emanated from Su Sheng's hand, enveloping Earth on the orrery. The light circled once and then gradually transformed into a rainbow spanning both ends of Earth. Unless someone inside possessed power stronger than the rainbow-colored light, they couldn't get out. Having finished one, Su Sheng simply did the same for Argo City and the amusement park he had materialized, making it look much more symmetrical.
After finishing, Su Sheng turned to leave the collection room. Just as he reached the door, Su Sheng stopped.
He turned to look at the photos hanging on the wall and was surprised to find that Felicity, who should have been at the very front, had been moved to the back, and Harley Quinn's photo, bearing the number 15, was brazenly hanging in Felicity's spot.
"This Harley!"
Su Sheng smiled wryly, shaking his head and swapping them back. She must have secretly swapped them when she let Parallax in last time, right? He hadn't paid attention before and almost got fooled by her.
Coming out of the collection room, Su Sheng saw Qiong Mu'en and Indigo.
They already knew he was back, so they weren't too surprised, but nearly two months apart wasn't a short time.
"I really missed your coffee." Su Sheng walked over with a chuckle, patting Qiong Mu'en's shoulder. Qiong Mu'en quickly turned to make coffee.
"How was it? Did anything interesting happen?"
Su Sheng sat down and asked Indigo.
Indigo smiled charmingly, hooking her arms around Su Sheng's neck and sitting sideways on his lap, saying softly, "There were some interesting things, let's start here. Red Lantern Mera caused quite a stir. First, the Atlantean Queen Atlanna's half-human son went missing. Mera caused a lot of commotion trying to find him, even Batman and Superman got involved, but not only was it ineffective, Queen Atlanna died as a result. Now, Atlanna's son, Ohm, has taken over the throne and is teaming up with Mera to prepare an attack on the land."
"Superman, Batman, Flash, Wonder Woman, and Earth's Green Lantern are working together to resolve this, but the effect isn't great. Although the war hasn't started yet, it should be soon."
Su Sheng nodded. He already knew about Superman and the others targeting Mera, but he hadn't expected it to develop so quickly, almost escalating into a war between the sea and land.
"Continue."
"The rest are just scattered minor things, nothing special. Something also happened on Earth Thirty-Eight. Because of Electrical girl's attack, Loriette's gambling den couldn't continue, so she actually started selling slaves, selling humans to aliens. Supergirldiscovered and stopped this, also capturing Loriette, but the alien prince Mon-El escaped. Moreover, the Daxamites seem to want to conquer Earth and avenge their prince. This also seems to be one of Superman's backup plans, but the current situation is still very stable with no danger."
"What about the Cadmus Project?" Su Sheng asked.
Indigo shook her head. "No movement."
Su Sheng nodded, took the coffee from Qiong Mu'en's hand, took a sip, and nodded contentedly.
He had to admit, her coffee-making skills were truly excellent.
"What about Black Lantern?"
"I've monitored all Black Lantern situations, there's nothing unusual."
Su Sheng nodded, drained the rest of his coffee, and patted Indigo's back, signaling her to get up.
"I've brought that world's Earth over for my collection; you can go in and play sometime.
A post-apocalyptic wasteland should be a unique experience too."
"I'm going back to check on things; call me if anything happens." Su Sheng handed the cup to Qiong Mu'enand turned to return to the collection room.
Hellboy's world.
After Harley Quinn pressed down on the chaos seven gods with a single finger, she embraced the great spirit of 'strike while the iron is hot,' immediately activating her Yellow Lantern energy to relentlessly pursue the chaos seven gods upon entering.
Now, the entire world was permeated with fear, and Harley Quinn was the best at wielding Lantern Ring energy among the Rainbow Corps.
The chaos seven gods had just been thrown into disarray when Harley Quinn launched a fierce assault.
At the same time, Harley Quinn also contacted Blonde Female Nazi through her Lantern Ring, telling her to bring Liz Sherman and the Golden Army to join the fight.
The chaos seven gods' frogmen were numerous, making the Golden Army the most suitable for dealing with them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Missiles materialized from Yellow Lantern energy bombed the chaos seven gods, and smoke instantly filled the air as Harley Quinn materialized a Gatling gun in her hand and fired furiously.
Da da da, da da da.
Harley Quinn shouted excitedly while firing.
On the other side, Blonde Female Nazi and Liz Shermanled the Golden Army in slaughtering the frogmen and other unruly magical, evil creatures.
After Su Sheng entered, he confirmed the situation on both sides and, after some thought, decided to go see Blood Queen.
Swish!
A roar like that of an airplane sounded, and Su Shenginstantly flew out.
Not long after.
Su Sheng slowly decelerated and landed in front of an ancient castle.
This castle looked quite old and, fortunately, had not suffered too much damage during the previous turmoil, though it appeared somewhat dilapidated and silent.
"Blood Queen, come out and greet your guest."
Su Sheng stood in front of the ancient castle, chuckled, and called out loudly.
Silence, not a sound.
As if no one was there at all.
"Since I've come, you should know there's no hiding!" Su Sheng shook his head, his eyes suddenly turning crimson, and in an instant, heat rays directly blasted towards the ancient castle.
Bang!
A deafening crash echoed, and the ancient castle, which had previously been spared, finally collapsed.
…
PS: Blood Queen is the last part of the Hellboy plot, then we'll see if it's Justice League or Mad Max.
Chapter 289: Return to Gotham, Night Meeting with Batgirl
Rumble!
The ancient castle collapsed, and strange screams followed.
With a loud bang, the ruins and debris of the ancient castle instantly flew, and a blood-red figure slowly emerged from within.
The blood-red robe was exceptionally vibrant and eye-catching, like a blooming blood flower.
Beneath the robe, the tall Blood Queen stared at Su Sheng with anger and apprehension.
"Who are you?" Her voice was slightly hoarse but not grating, subtly alluring.
So similar, too similar!
Su Sheng narrowed his eyes, looking at Blood Queen.
Perhaps her attire and demeanor were somewhat different, but her appearance and figure were very similar, especially her figure… both were so flat!
"Follow me, and you live!"
"Don't follow me, and you'll suffer worse than death."
Su Sheng didn't want to waste time with Blood Queen; like Loriette, the only thing that interested him was her face.
"Arrogant!"
Blood Queen snorted coldly and suddenly waved her hand.
In an instant, strange cries sounded, and many hideous monsters swished out from around them, each glaring menacingly at Su Sheng.
At the same time, a flock of bird-like creatures, resembling crows with wings and pointed beaks but human-like legs and extremely sharp claws, flew out from behind Blood Queen.
"Kill him." Blood Queen snorted and waved her hand.
In an instant, both the ground and aerial creatures swarmed towards Su Sheng, baring their fangs.
Su Sheng pouted, slowly raised his palm, and gently clenched his fist, and a dazzling rainbow light instantly ignited.
The light seemed to envelop the earth, and the monsters illuminated by the rainbow light instantly screamed and turned into nothingness.
Blood Queen instinctively retreated, avoiding it; this power… this powerful, unheard-of power made her unwilling to take risks.
Bang!
A collision sound rang out.
The light dissipated, and the dense monsters around had already turned to dust with a single strike.
Blood Queen lay in the ruins, groaning, unable to get up.
Su Sheng's figure flashed, appearing before her, looking down at her surprised and angry expression with a slight chuckle.
"Sometimes, when an opportunity is before you, you should seize it; regret is always useless!" As his words fell, Su Sheng lightly tapped his finger, and Blood Queen, who was about to struggle, suddenly closed her eyes and became utterly limp, directly falling into the dream of the Black Mercy Flower.
Rainbow-colored light enveloped Blood Queen, slowly lifting her into the air, and in a blink, she flew away.
Collection Room!
Su Sheng materialized a dollhouse-like toy house and placed Blood Queen on the bed.
"Hell's dream, enjoy it well." Su Sheng's lips curved into a smile, and he turned to go back again.
Inside Earth!
Under Harley Quinn's crazy and forceful attacks, the chaos seven gods finally couldn't resist, and amidst angry wails and laments, they were smashed to smithereens.
The chaos seven gods were dead, but the frogman army didn't return to normal like the clichéd plots in those movies.
However, this was good; for Harley Quinn and the others, it was a kind of entertainment when they were bored!
The chaos seven gods were dead, and Blood Queenwas taken by Su Sheng, falling into the dream of hell.
Since Earth itself had been brought, even if someone wanted to summon some messy gods and demons again, they would have lost contact with the original world dimension.
As long as the existing miscellaneous things were eliminated, this world would become a true post-apocalyptic wasteland.
The palace where the Golden Army was originally located had collapsed and was no longer habitable.
The previous series of disasters had also caused urban civilization to almost completely disappear, and most parts of the world had become deserts.
Su Sheng found a relatively good spot and directly materialized a fifty-meter-high stone peak with rainbow-colored light.
At the top of the stone peak was a platform, with lush green grass and a magnificent palace, and a beautiful rainbow continuously hung in the air above it.
After notifying the three women, Su Sheng began to leisurely enjoy himself there.
Before long, Harley Quinn, Blonde Female Nazi, and Liz Sherman returned, naturally delighted to have such an environment in the post-apocalyptic wasteland.
What is happiness?
Happiness is when others sell their souls for a sip of water, but you can fully immerse yourself in the water, laughing and swimming freely.
Under the sun, water droplets slowly dripped from the bodies of the three women of varying figures.
Su Sheng lay beside them, drinking iced beer and sunbathing, which was… incredibly refreshing!
This made Su Sheng feel like he was back at the party from a while ago, and he pulled them out of the water one by one.
Time for some fun!
As the sun set, Su Sheng held Harley Quinn on his left and Blonde Female Nazi on his right, with Liz Shermanlying tiredly on his lap.
What an absurd yet enviable scene…
"I'll leave this world for you to play in; just tell me what resources you need.
You can play however you want, even rebuilding order and ruling the world in the wasteland."
To the people of this world, you… are gods."
"Are you going back?" Harley Quinn asked with a grin.
Su Sheng nodded.
Harley Quinn surprisingly didn't say she wanted to continue following Su Sheng. Perhaps she hadn't had enough fun in this world yet, or maybe it was because they were so close there was no need to worry about not seeing each other, or perhaps… she needed a cooling-off period. After all, although Su Sheng hadn't shown any signs of losing interest in her during this time, if he did, it would be problematic, so appropriate adjustments were necessary.
Three days of absurdity.
Su Sheng left there, left the Disciple, and went to Gotham.
Gotham.
A certain apartment.
Batgirl Barbara Gordon, wrapped in a pink bath towel and drying her hair, hummed an unknown tune on the living room sofa, feeling cheerful. Batman was busy dealing with matters between Atlantis and the land, so Gotham's affairs were temporarily left to her. Although she had once stood on her own when Bane ruled Gotham, that was different from now. Then, it was because Batman had disappeared and she was desperate, and ultimately it was Su Sheng who resolved the crisis. But now, it was a good opportunity to prove she had the qualifications to stand on her own!
Snap!
The lights in the room suddenly went out, plunging it into darkness. Barbara Gordon was slightly startled. Just as she was about to get up, she suddenly found a rope wrapped around her hands and feet in a very unscientific way. She was surprised and about to struggle and dodge when she felt the rope suddenly tighten and pull upwards. Then, she was involuntarily hung from the ceiling with her hands behind her back and her feet bent upwards.
"Who!" Barbara Gordon demanded in a low voice.
Snap!
The lights suddenly came on, and the living room was bright again. When Barbara Gordon saw Su Shengappear in her line of sight, she subconsciously let out a sigh of relief and relaxed.
...
PS: The Mad Max plot will have to wait a bit, as developing a post-apocalyptic wasteland into a movie plot requires some time. So, let's enter the Justice League storyline.
09 Justice League
Chapter 290: Just Teasing You and Solomon Grundy?
At first, she thought it was an enemy, but when she saw it was Su Sheng, she immediately relaxed.
She said with a hint of playful complaint, "It's you, you scared me! Hurry and let me down."
Su Sheng smiled and came to her side, gently pushing her. Barbara Gordon swung back and forth like a swing, which made Barbara Gordon both shy and angry, causing her to exclaim, "What are you doing? Let me down now!"
"This is quite good," Su Sheng said with a mischievous smile, sizing her up. In her current pose, everything that should and shouldn't be seen, was seen.
Barbara Gordon huffed in shy anger, "Good for what? You show up and immediately tease me like this. Let me down!"
"No. You can figure it out yourself. If you can't even break free from this, then you might as well not be Batgirl anymore, lest you get paralyzed again next time." Su Sheng turned and walked to a nearby sofa, sat down, and turned her to face him. "Where did Batmanput the Black Lantern Ring?"
"I don't know!" Barbara Gordon snorted and began to twist, trying to break free from the ropes.
Su Sheng shrugged indifferently. "If you don't know, I'll just have to find it myself. I imagine it's either in the Batcave or in some secret vault at Wayne Enterprises."
"Good luck, I'm leaving."
"By the way, since the first time I left Gotham, I don't think I've seen Miranda Tate. Sometimes I even pull out her photos to look at. Batman isn't in Gotham, so she must be quite lonely by herself." Su Sheng turned and said with a mischievous smile, then vanished in a puff of smoke with a whoosh.
"He… he wouldn't do anything to Miranda, would he?" Barbara Gordon grew anxious and sped up her efforts to break free.
After finally breaking free from the ropes and gaining her freedom, Barbara Gordon quickly changed into her Batgirl uniform and chased after him, while also calling Miranda to warn her about Su Sheng. But the phone was turned off… This made Barbara Gordon a little anxious. She had asked Alfred, and Miranda wasn't at Wayne Manor, so she immediately rushed to Wayne Enterprises.
Miranda already knew Bruce Wayne's identity as Batman, so many of Wayne Enterprises' operations were handled by Miranda.
Barbara Gordon truly didn't know where the Black Lantern Ring was, but Miranda Tate should know.
"What does he want to do? Is it for the Black Lantern Ring or for some other purpose?" Barbara Gordonthought for a long time but couldn't figure out Su Sheng's intentions. She hurriedly snuck into Wayne Enterprises, went to Miranda Tate's office, and pushed the door open.
As soon as she entered, Barbara Gordon froze.
Su Sheng was indeed there, but… it was not quite what she had imagined.
Su Sheng and Miranda Tate seemed to be discussing something, and they were talking very happily.
"You…"
"You came quite fast, didn't you?" Su Sheng said with a chuckle, shaking the Black Lantern Ring in his hand. "You didn't think I really didn't know where the Black Lantern Ring was and then came to threaten her, did you?"
Miranda Tate said somewhat helplessly, "I didn't tell him. He came right in and found the secret vault Bruceinstalled here and took the Black Lantern Ring." After speaking, she pointed to the wall nearby, and indeed there was an open vault.
"What do you want to do?"
Barbara Gordon was a bit confused. First, he tied her up and asked about the Black Lantern's whereabouts, then he used Miranda Tate to threaten and scare her. Yet, he found the Black Lantern himself, and there seemed to be no conflict with Miranda Tate.
"Just teasing you. It's not easy to take over Batman's role and protect Gotham." Su Sheng waved his hand with a smile. "Go back. I still have something to discuss with her. I'll come find you when I'm done."
"Can't I stay?" Barbara Gordon was still a bit uneasy.
Su Sheng said with a half-smile, "Your staying here is useless. If I really wanted to do something, even your master Batman wouldn't be able to stop me. Go back quickly and wait for me."
Barbara Gordon hesitated, looking at Miranda Tate, who nodded slightly.
"Alright then."
Barbara Gordon turned and left.
After leaving, she didn't take the elevator but jumped out of the corridor window, using her grappling gun to hang in the air next to Miranda Tate's window, listening to what was inside.
Clearly, she was still uneasy.
But after listening for a while, she realized Su Shengseemed to be discussing business with her? It sounded like it was about antique gold.
"Boring!" Barbara Gordon cursed under her breath, feeling that Su Sheng was really just deliberately teasing her, and then quietly left.
As soon as she left, Su Sheng in the office curled his lips.
"Eavesdropping? A little too naive." Su Sheng chuckled. Miranda Tate, or rather Talia, slowly stood up and walked to the window, lowering the casement. Turning around, her previously smiling expression was gone, her eyes sharp as if they could see directly into one's heart. She frowned slightly and asked, "What exactly do you want?"
"As expected of an actress who can fool Batmanaround, her acting is impeccable, and her ability to change expressions is even more astonishing!" Su Sheng said with an indifferent chuckle. "Don't worry, I don't plan to do anything. Who told Batman to put the Black Lantern Ring in your office? I could only come to get it and talk business with you. The business deal just now still stands. I'll contact you when I have the supply!"
"My purpose is very simple, but you! 113"
Su Sheng looked at Talia with interest. "So much time has passed, I thought you had fallen in love with Batman and didn't plan to continue your original plans. I didn't expect you to be brewing something big. Batmanthought he could trust you by giving you the Black Lantern Ring, little did he know you intend to use it to find Solomon Grundy and destroy Gotham. Just out of curiosity, are you two not harmonious in some way? After all, Batman has to go out every night, so the whole 'love develops over time' thing doesn't work for you?"
"What exactly do you want to do!" Talia's tone and meaning were completely different despite using the same words.
Rather than asking what Su Sheng wanted to do, it was more like negotiating terms.
"You…" Su Sheng looked at Talia playfully.
"Is that all?" Talia snorted coldly, walked to the desk, bent over, and lay down. "Leave the Black Lantern Ring, don't disrupt my plan, agree… and I am yours now."
