[Comprehensive British and American] The vest system of the son of hell

"I told you, I'm a demon."

Matthew gave the answer very directly.

"But this is not the final answer..." Zatanna said, "Your identity is not as simple as a demon."

"why?"

"I don't know, maybe it's the magician's intuition?"

Zatanna smiled sheepishly and said, "I always feel that demons alone can't describe your specialness."

"Why do you say that?"

"because--"

Zatanna took a breath: "I have seen demons, more than once and more than one. Among humans, I think I know more about demons than your biological father John Constantine.

So I can say with absolute certainty that your identity is more than demonic.Also, Batman told me that Gotham once had a Matthew, Matthew Pendor.

He was an orphan with Catholic adoptive parents, he killed almost everyone at a party in self-defense in high school... Batman thinks, Matthew he..."

"What does what Matthew Pender did have anything to do with me?" Matthew said calmly.

Zatanna: "I... I thought so too, but Batman said that after investigation, he thought that Matthew Pendor might have... a special relationship with you... He was used by you in Gotham Identity, please allow me to use such words to describe, after all..."

"Zatana, it's not for you to talk to your friends."

Matthew interrupted Zatana's hesitation with a smile: "If I were you, I would behave more naturally."

"All right……"

Zatana, who was seen through by Matthew, felt very relaxed and at ease.

She asked Matthew: "Matthew? Pender really has nothing to do with you?"

"Even if we had a relationship, it was a matter of his lifetime..." Matthew said, "He is dead, and a dead person cannot speak."

"But the soul can..." Zatanna said, "I have something to do with both heaven and hell, and maybe—"

"His soul is neither in heaven nor in hell..." said Matthew. "Your relationship is no good."

"All right……"

Zatanna breathed out, and asked Matthew with earnest eyes: "You really have no idea about the question of 'who am I'? As far as I know, life wants to know who it is and why it exists in the world. "

"Yes, I want to know 'who am I' and why I exist in this world, but now I am afraid of the answer to the question 'who am I'."

"why?"

Zatanna was puzzled.

Matthew looked up, looked at the gentle and beautiful female magician, and whispered: "I'm afraid that I will finally find an answer that I can't accept at all."

"what do you mean--"

"nothing……"

Matthew smiled wryly, picked up the magic book, pointed to a line of incantations mixed with strange symbols suspected to be ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, and said to Zatanna: "This magic seems to be related to the seal on the surface of the crystal plate."

"Let me see……"

Zatanna stepped forward and carefully recited the spell that was said to cause dust, and added a small amount of magic power - according to common sense, chanting a magic spell with a small amount of magic power will activate the magic in a small area.

However, what was expected did not happen.

After the mantra was recited, not a single grain of sand flew up around the tent.

"strangeness?"

Zatanna blurted out.

She asked Matthew, "Has this happened to you too?"

"Yes, that's why I pointed out this magic spell to you." Matthew said frankly, "I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with this spell."

"In that case, how do we read this spell?" Zatanna asked.

Complete magic usually consists of incantations and magic-infused readings, of which, crucially, the reader is the magician.

If the magician makes a mistake in reciting, such as pronouncing it incorrectly or missing a word or even a single letter, the magic may completely fail.

This is also the reason why archmages usually don't consider conquering the world—they spend almost all their time studying and reciting long and garrulous mantras. Even if they conquer the world, they don't have time to rule the world and suppress the rising and falling resistance teams.

Some magicians even spend too much time reciting incantations, causing the most basic necessities of life to be in a mess.

Like Doctor Strange.

Because of Zatanna's words, thinking of Strange's unlucky look of Strange owning the sanctuary that preserves the most precious magic props on earth but was so poor that he couldn't pay the rent for a time, a smile slipped from the corner of Matthew's lips: "Maybe we can ask Give Imerton a shot."

"Will he answer our questions?"

"So far, he's not refusing to answer."

Matthew said very firmly.

Afterwards, the two walked into the scorching desert with the magic book, and said to Imerton, who was sitting under the scorching sun, meditating: "We have a magic question to ask you."

"what is the problem?"

Imerton looked at Matthew with natural obedience.

"This spell."

Matthew pointed out the strange incantation in the magic book to Emerton: "According to the description, this is a magic that can cause sandstorms, but after a small-scale test, we found that this magic is..."

"There is nothing wrong with the magic itself, it is your chanting that is wrong."

Emerton's fingers are embedded in the mantra with strange symbols that resemble ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs: "This word means air."

"Words?"

Zatana froze for a moment: "Is this a word?"

"Yes, the word appeared only in the No.15 dynasty, representing the air bathed in spiritual sunshine..." Imerton said, "During the No.15 dynasty, the sun god Ra was understood as the only Ra in the imagination of believers. and the Tun surrounding Ra, a term often used to describe Tun's power."

"So that's the case... No wonder the chanting we just had no effect at all..."

Zatanna suddenly realized.

They did not understand the meaning of the mantra correctly, nor did they pronounce it correctly. Of course, they could not activate this sandstorm magic that originated in ancient Egypt.

"What's the correct pronunciation for the word?" Matthew asked directly.

"??"

Imerton uttered a very rambling syllable.

Matthew and Zatana recited it several times before they finally learned it, and after a long time of trying, they were finally able to read the magic spell fluently mixed with this rap syllable.

only--

As soon as the chanting was over, the surrounding air trembled strangely, and there was a rumbling sound like a galloping horse from the depths of the desert, and the dust on the ground trembled endlessly, as if——

"Congratulations, you successfully activated the magic after reading it for the first time."

Imerton told Matthew and Zatanna with a smile.

Matthew & Zatanna: "..."

They were astounded by the speed and scale of the ancient Egyptian dust storm magic.

"I thought it was a small-scale magic, and I really only injected a little magic power just now." Matthew said.

Zatanna was even more helpless: "Is the magic of ancient Egypt so exaggerated?"

"The scale and effects of ancient magic are usually very large, especially magic that affects the natural environment." Imerton said, "Because the number of humans was very small at that time, magicians did not need to consider control like modern magicians when studying magic."

"The land is vast and the population is sparsely populated, and you won't hit anyone if you hit it casually?" Matthew complained.

Emerton nodded seriously: "Yes, not only were there a small number of humans at that time, but most of them were slaves."

"Uh..." Zatana felt uncomfortable for a while.

It is unrealistic to talk about human rights with the high priest of the slave society, but——

"I think the life of a slave is also life, and you shouldn't use this kind of tone as if you're discussing items."

"maybe……"

Imerton smiled nonchalantly, and continued to teach the next magic incantation mixed with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.

Matthew listened carefully.

Although Zatana felt unwell, she finally couldn't resist her thirst for knowledge and joined the ranks of listening.

……

"Okay, you can go."

After giving Michael all the instructions that Matthew had given, Crowley returned to Aziraphale: "Can we continue the topic just now?"

"What topic?"

Aziraphale had no idea what Crowley wanted to talk about.

After all, the devil's mind is always erratic.

"A question about what Matthew is."

Crowley said, "He's definitely not human in the first place, and he's not a pure demon in the second place—"

"Hearing what you said, I suddenly remembered that when I sent Mrs. Anya's soul back to the City of Silver, Archangel Michael personally handed it over."

Aziraphale said, "Lady Anya is the mother of Magneto, but this status does not seem to be worthy of Archangel Michael's reception."

"Yes……"

Crowley said: "If it was Magneto himself, it might be worth Michael's appearance, but Anya..."

"So your conclusion is—"

"It's Matthew that Michael cares about." Crowley said, "He probably knows Matthew's true identity. It's a pity that with Michael's character, even if he knew, he wouldn't tell us unless—"

"Unless what?"

"There is a huge crisis on the earth, and the truth of Matthew's identity must be revealed to resolve the crisis! Wait a minute!"

Crowley exclaimed suddenly: "I may know what our enemy is thinking!"

"Crowley?"

Aziraphale looked at the devil's best friend with a confused face: "What are you talking about?"

"Yaz, is there such a possibility that the appearance of Matthew has not only attracted the attention of the hero team on Earth and us, but also some other team organizations are paying close attention to his every move, and in order to find out his true identity You can do whatever it takes."

Crowley became more and more excited as he talked, and even started dancing.

"Oh oh oh! I'm such a genius! As expected of me who ate up the wisdom fruit of the entire tree in the Garden of Eden! The existence of Matthew is very special. Not only we know this, but many other forces also know it!

But mastering the final answer means knowing Matthew's true identity, and maybe only Lucifer!That's why people with different ideas appeared beside Matthew!And those unbelievable things! "

"So you're now deciding that Matthew isn't human or a demon, and that he's the cause of all the weird stuff that's been going on lately?"

Aziraphale looked at Crowley speechlessly: "By the way, did you really steal the wisdom fruit from a tree in the Garden of Eden?"

"I……"

Crowley felt a little guilty.

After all, the excuse he and Aziraphale used when they first met was—in order to lure Eve and Adam to eat the fruit of wisdom, he ate a fruit of wisdom in front of them.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stingy, and I won't break ties with you because of what happened 6000 years ago."

Aziraphale promised with a smile.

Crowley: "I... well! I admit that I lied a little when I first met you. I ate several wisdom fruit! But I swear I didn't eat a whole tree of wisdom fruit. After all, the wisdom tree The wisdom fruit on the table is not all ripe, so I don't eat unripe sour fruit."

"It's really your style not to eat unripe fruit."

Aziraphale nodded, and continued to discuss Matthew with Crowley: "Do you have any clues about Matthew's true identity?"

……

"Wow! Is this the Interstellar Research Institute?"

As the number one peacock in the Avengers, Tony Stark took off his iron suit and immediately began to comment on the internal structure of the Interstellar Research Institute, sometimes praising the talents of female researchers, and sometimes saying that the equipment needs to be upgraded immediately.

His arrogant speech quickly attracted the attention of Damian, who was also absolutely confident in his IQ.

"Hello, Tin Can!"

Damian jumped in front of Tony and complained, "I heard that your Stark Group went bankrupt again? As an adult, your ability to control and operate the business under your name is really inferior!"

"Hey, Banner, whose son is this big-mouthed brat?"

Tony looked up and asked his friend Dr. Banner.

Banner: "He is the son of Batman. Although he is only in his early ten years old, he already has more than ten science degree certificates, which is well-deserved—"

"If my mother hadn't tied all my liberal arts teachers to stone and sunk in the sea, I could have obtained at least five more liberal arts degree certificates. By the way, I am now in charge of Wayne Group."

Damian puffed out his chest proudly.

As a top genius baby, he has never minded letting vulgar ordinary people know his IQ and ability.

However, Tony Stark is also a genius, and a genius with strange bones.

After listening to Damian's self-introduction, he asked seriously: "So you are a child genius who was squeezed out by Batman and Bruce Wayne?"

"I'm not a child laborer! I'm their—shit!"

"Children can't swear."

Tony criticizes Damian severely.

Batman on the side mentioned his noisy son even more speechlessly: "Damian, do you still remember our agreement?"

"Of course I remember! But he violated the agreement between you and me first! I counterattacked reasonably! I didn't—"

"Damian!"

Batman accentuated.

Realizing that his father had been irritated, Damian reluctantly shut his mouth, staring fiercely at Tony Stark with his big eyes.

Tony Stark: Why does it feel like I'm being held hostage by a brat?

At this time, Dr. Sisko came over and introduced Lex Luthor to him: "Mr. Tony, this is Lex Luthor, a partner of the Interstellar Laboratory, and also a member of the Lex Group—"

"We've always had business dealings."

Luther offered to shake Tony's hand.

Tony looked at Luthor's big bald head, and couldn't help complaining: "As one of the smartest people in the world, you don't care about your own hair at all."

"There is a word in the East called 'extremely clever', which is a symbol of cleverness."

"So in your eyes, I'm not as smart as Charles?"

Tony, who instantly thought of the bald-headed Professor X, asked back.

Lex Luthor: "Isn't that true?"

Tony Stark: "..."

The short-term unhappiness went with the wind, and several doctors, each with their own pride in the field of IQ, began to discuss the matter of the black box.

"We still don't know anything about these black boxes so far."

Dr. Sisko smiled helplessly and said, "I only know that the ones who made them probably weren't humans."

"Not human? What is that? Aliens or—gods? Or demons?"

Tony said jokingly: "Speaking of which, there is a real god in the Avengers team, but his daily IQ performance may... be very inconsistent with everyone's imagination of gods."

"The Justice League has confronted the gods more than once. If this thing is really made by the gods, then it must be a god that is more powerful than most of the gods that the Justice League has come into contact with..."

Batman said, "After all, the physical composition of the box is very close to that of the Wall of Origin."

"The wall of origin?"

/>

Tony's face became serious for a moment.

He knows what level the Origin Wall exists.

"Are you sure? The material structure of the box is really very close to the origin wall?"

"At least this is the case so far..." Luther said, "That's why we have to put aside the past, gather all the geniuses we can, and study the origin of the box and the correct way to use it together."

"That……"

Tony looked at Dr. Banner: "Banner, what do you think about this matter?"

"I can feel that the huge crisis of destroying the earth may come at any time, and we must be prepared for the worst." Banner said seriously.

Although he doesn't get along well with the Hulk in his body, he shares intuition with the Hulk and has an extraordinary sense of crisis.

"Is the situation really that bad?"

"Of course!"

Damian shouted unconvinced: "Our enemy is not some stupid false god!"

"A false god?"

Tony smiled contemptuously when he heard the words: "There are many forgotten gods living in New York. We made an agreement with them to protect the safety of New York together."

"Things are different now."

Sisko interrupted unexpectedly, and then unfolded a real-time space dynamic map: "The latest news, 5 minutes ago, an unknown asteroid that might pose a threat to the earth was flying towards the earth. It is currently about 30 kilometers away from the earth, and This asteroid may be over a hundred kilometers in diameter!"

One hundred kilometers is one hundred thousand meters.

Even if such a large asteroid is burned 90.00% after entering the atmosphere, the remaining part is enough to cause unimaginable damage to the earth!

You must know that when the asteroid that hit the earth that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs was rumored to touch the surface of the earth, its diameter was only ten kilometers, and the radius of the huge crater it produced was 145 kilometers. The surface destruction and gas effect caused not only killed the dinosaurs , also led to the extinction of at least 70.00% of five species in the Mesozoic.

"It's really—"

Several scientists present felt a chill run down their spines.

"Is there a way to stop it?"

"Trying to figure it out, but—"

Sisko paused, and said an even more astonishing fact: "This asteroid appeared out of thin air."

"Appeared out of thin air? What do you mean?"

"It means that no one knew of its existence until it was discovered by the Eye of Space a few days ago..." Sisko said, "According to common sense, it is impossible for such a large asteroid to be observed until it is 30 kilometers away from the earth. I found out that this is very abnormal.”

Generally speaking, such a large asteroid will be discovered by observation instruments when it is 3000 million kilometers away from the earth.

What's more, such a large asteroid is only 30 kilometers away from the earth, so it must have had a significant impact on the earth's tides.

"It's really suspicious..." Luther said, "Maybe the asteroid really appeared out of nowhere."

"what do you mean--"

Banner took a breath and said, "Is there a higher level force deliberately creating an asteroid impact event?"

"At least it seems to be the case for now..." Luther said, "otherwise it would be impossible to explain how such a large asteroid could approach the earth all the way until it was only 30 kilometers away from the earth before being discovered by observation!

With such a large volume and such a short distance, not to mention the eyes of space, even advanced astronomical telescopes can clearly observe it! "

"Then we-"

"I'm going to tell the Justice League about this right now," Batman said. "By brainstorming, we may be able to find a solution."

"I also want to inform the Justice League and the friends of the Illuminati immediately! This matter is related to the life and death of human beings on Earth, and there must be no delay!"

……

"What! An asteroid with a diameter of 30 kilometers! It is currently only [-] kilometers away from the earth!"

Wonder Woman, who urgently returned to the Justice League headquarters to participate in the seminar, was shocked when she heard the news.

Superman said without hesitation: "I will inform my cousin immediately, we will work together to push this asteroid out of orbit! We must not let it hit the earth!"

"Sorry, Clark, this time, the power of the Kryptonians may not work."

Batman regretfully told Superman: "Further observation data on the asteroid shows that it is a Kryptonian meteorite, and it is extremely radioactive. Not only the Kryptonians living on the earth cannot approach it, but our armor cannot approach the meteorite either. Missiles could blow up asteroids into smaller pieces and reduce the damage, but it would require the cooperation of governments around the world."

"The asteroid is currently only 30 kilometers away from the earth, leaving time for discussions among high-level governments—"

The Flash couldn't go on.

"If no solution to the problem can be discussed within 24 hours, the entire earth may... what's worse, even if countries with missiles all over the world work together to blow up the asteroid into countless small meteorites, so many meteorites fall into the atmosphere, It will still have an unpredictable impact on the earth! Especially these meteorites may all contain kryptonite!"

The more Wonder Woman spoke, the more excited she became, and she pressed her hands on the table: "Is it true that I can only ask the gods to solve this super trouble!"

"God?"

Zatana raised her eyebrows: "I want to invite Matthew to the meeting, is that okay?"
