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

After finally holding Barbara, Dick clicked on the email, and after reading it, he was relieved at first, and then became more confused.

This is an engagement email.

The engaged parties are Tim and Connor.

As Tim's adoptive brother and Connor's good friend, Dick is also happy for them seeing that their relationship has finally been approved by both parents and that they are going to hold an engagement ceremony for young couples in the metropolis. The problem is——

There are actually three names written in the parents position!

Batman...

Kal-El.

as well as--

Lex? Luthor!

Why does Lex Luthor's name appear in the place of the parent!

Although everyone knows that Connor Kent is a child created by Luthor using his own human genes to fuse Superman's Kryptonian genes, Luthor is theoretically and genetically one of Connor's fathers.

but--

"You also find it unacceptable that Lex Luthor will attend the engagement ceremony, don't you?" Barbara, who was also confused after reading the content of the wedding invitation, sent a message and asked.

"Yeah, kind of unacceptable."

Dick took a sip of coffee: "But since Bruce and the others don't mind being listed alongside Luther's name, as a junior, I can only accept the elders' decision."

"I think the same as you."

Subsequently, Dick and Barbara agreed on a specific time to meet tomorrow afternoon at the Metropolitan Airport exit.

……

At the end of the call, Dick put down his coffee cup, turned around, and saw Connor and the Beast Boy walking in from outside. He smiled and congratulated and said, "Connor, are you in a good mood now?"

"I've been in a good mood every day lately."

Connor spoke cheerfully and took a sip of Coke.

"Because you're getting engaged to Tim soon?" Dick said.

puff!

"what!"

Connor, who was overly shocked, spewed Coke on the spot: "What did you say? Dick! What did you just say? Engaged to Tim? Me?"

"You do not know?"

Dick looked at Connor in surprise: "Half an hour ago, Barbara and I received an email from our elders who decided to hold an engagement ceremony for you and told us to go to the Metropolis to attend."

"I didn't know about it."

Connor's expression is full of puzzlement and confusion, although he has always expected that his secret relationship with Tim will be recognized by the elders.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true..." Connor said, "I hope more than anyone that what you said about the engagement is true! But the problem is that I haven't received any relevant notice!"

"Then this is..."

Dick frowned, and called out the wedding email: "This is the wedding invitation that Barbara and I received, and it has the emblem of the Bat Family on it."

"what……"

Connor leaned forward, looked at the email, and gradually frowned: "There is a problem with this email."

"Why do you say that?"

"Even if Batman and Superman don't mind, Luthor will firmly oppose..." Connor said, "I mean things like putting their three names in the same row."

"This one……"

Connor's words made Dick realize that something was wrong.

He decided to contact Batman immediately to find out what the hell was going on with the engagement!

……

In the desolate Limbo Hell, the choking sulfur smell floated in the air as always, but Matthew, who was walking in it, was in a good mood.

The benefits obtained after absorbing Goddess Sheba as the "Feeted Serpent God" in the Battle of New York are being displayed on the transparent panel of the system in the form of text.

Goddess Sheba has a remaining part of her divinity.

A share of the priority right to mobilize the city's will within a [-]-kilometer area.

The Faith Power bonus obtained from the dissemination of relevant classics such as the "Bible" and the Queen of Sheba is 30.00%.

The self-created "Feathered Serpent God" vest is semi-permanently recorded and preserved by the system, and obtained the real Godhead skills of the Feathered Serpent God: 50.00% increase in production, and 80.00% reduction in famine release.

……

"This time it's really a bumper harvest."

Matthew, who has read the relevant benefits of "Feathered Serpent", feels more and more sunny.

What made him even happier was——

The Kespler system, which has always been unpredictable and hidden, did not disappoint Matthew's evaluation of it this time, and even secretly created a super vest option called "King Solomon" in the system.

what is this?

Matthew pretended to be angry and asked the system: You stole Belial's belongings, are you afraid that Belial will punish you if he finds out?

[Respected and great master, please rest assured that His Royal Highness Belial will never know that your humble, devout and loyal servant took advantage of your opportunity to control King Solomon's soul and secretly left a soul backup of 'Solomon' in the system, because It is just a copy imitation of the real King Solomon's soul, none of the particles that make up this copy are taken from the real King Solomon's soul, and it can only reproduce 30.00% of the real King Solomon's power...Of course, even if it is only 30.00 %, it is enough to deal with most of the troubles you encounter in this world, master. 】

I see……

Matthew nodded, and asked again: Why did my temporarily constructed 'Feathered Serpent' vest turn into a semi-permanent vest?Are all the other super vests that the system can provide come from this way?

【Respected and great master, it is the honor of servant Kespler to answer your questions. However, for questions like the origin of the super vest, which are far beyond Kespler's ability, please allow Kespler to keep today's silence. 】

The system cunningly rejected Matthew.

Matthew was speechless, accepted the rejection silently, pointed to the progress bar of the main task that had advanced a lot after the New York incident and asked: What's going on here?Why can't I remember that I have successfully recovered fragments of creation energy in New York City?

【Respected and great master, please allow your eternally devout and loyal servant Kespler to tell you a secret that even His Royal Highness Belial does not know. King Solomon's soul has fragments of creation energy.

The moment you used the soul spell to let King Solomon's soul enter your body, the fragments of creation energy hidden deep in his soul were recovered by your careful servants. 】

Well, you're such a clever little ghost.

Matthew complained about the system.

The system—

【Thank you, master, for the compliment... Kespler is very proud——】

Not only are the long and beautiful sentences crooked and crooked drawn on the transparent panel with cursive characters, but also a few emoji symbols are added at the end of the sentence.

Matthew: He confirmed once again that in the field of brazenness, the Kesipler system has a talent that even demons can't match.

……

After counting the spoils, Matthew decided to return to the present world.

At this time, the freed banshee Astra suddenly appeared in front of Matthew.

Compared to when she was a slave under the hands of the First Fallen, her mental state is much better now, and her face is even rosy.

【Thank you, Matthew. 】

Astra sincerely thanks Matthew.

Matthew stretched out his hand and smoothed Astra's hair, who was still in the form of a girl: "You don't have to thank me, I'm just paying off the debt for my genetic father, John Constantine."

[But I still want to thank you, Matthew, you set me free. 】

While speaking, Astra took out a gleaming golden dagger from behind with his remaining left hand, and handed it to Matthew.

"This is……"

[After Lucifer left hell, the First Fallen came back, but hell was so big that even the First Fallen could not immediately replace Lucifer as the ruler of hell, so he established a three-king alliance with two other monarch-level demons and became The most powerful of the many separatist forces in hell.

Later, the power of the First Fallen gradually consolidated, and he didn't want to share the ruling power with the two kings anymore. He designed to kill the two monarch-level demons who were allied with him, and tempered their souls into short swords, which were used as collections in the treasure house. I'm in charge of cleaning and maintenance. 】

Having said that, Astra showed a sly smile.

[According to the rules of hell, when the first fallen released me according to the agreement, not only did I get freedom, but the items stored on me at that moment also got freedom together with me, plus the established rule of holding them for more than three days after being free. In fact, the Sword of Two Kings has finally become completely mine. 】

"So that's why you got your freedom and ran away immediately because of the Shuangwangjian?"

【Um. 】

Astra raised her head and looked at Matthew sincerely: "From now on, it's yours."

"But--"

[Even if I am free, I am just an ordinary banshee in hell. Once the secret of holding the double king sword is revealed, I may be captured and torn to pieces by other great demons at any time.

But you are different, you are the son of the first fallen, and you are protected by Lucifer, the double king sword can play a greater role in your hands.And I, as the hero who dedicated the Double King Sword to you, will also be feared and respected by all the demons in hell. 】

"Anyway, thank you for giving me the Double King Sword."

Matthew could feel that the double king sword contained powerful magic power enough to kill a king-level demon.

【I go first. 】

Astra smiled shyly and disappeared into the air.

Matthew put the Shuangwangjian into the system warehouse, and under the guidance of the system, he came to the place where it is said that there may be the next fragment of creation energy-the metropolis.

……

Metropolis (Metropolis), the superhero from Krypton - Superman Clark Kent worked and lived as an adult.

Unlike Gotham, which is always dark and rainy and full of violent crimes, Metropolis is a sunny and vibrant city.

Moreover, the citizens of Metropolis are proud of Superman.

When Matthew asked the local old lady the address of the editorial department of the "Daily Planet" as a foreigner, the old lady showed a friendly smile: "Do you want to find out the address of Superman through the editorial department of the "Daily Planet"?"

"I--"

"I've seen many, many young people like you who yearn for Superman and come to the metropolis..." The old lady said with a smile, "It's a pity that until now, I still don't know Superman's real name and identity. When Metropolis falls into darkness, Superman will fall from the sky..."

Matthew: Ever since he was informed by the system that the Kryptonian’s daily identity is Clark Kent, a reporter from the Daily Planet, Matthew has a problem that he still can’t figure out.

Why did the people of the city—including the reporters in the same office as Clark—immediately fail to recognize Clark just by taking off his glasses to reveal the tights with the letter "S" printed on it?

What is the mystery?

So, after following the system prompts and coming to Metropolis, the first thing Matthew wanted to do was to go to the "Daily Planet" and meet Clark Kent with his own eyes.

result--

……

After pretending to be a Superman fanboy and getting the specific route map to the editorial office of "Daily Planet" from the local old lady, Matthew walked straight in the direction of the editorial office.

He was going to seek a temporary position in the editorial department of "Daily Planet", which was an easy task for him who possessed creation energy fragments and dream stone power.

In fact, it was exactly as he expected. After only one minute of talking with the supervisor in the personnel office, the other party was confused by Mengshi and took the initiative to shake hands with Matthew, welcoming him to join.

even--

"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce a new colleague to you, Matthew Fast Constantine." The supervisor said with a smile, "He will replace Jamie who had a car accident last week as Clark's photographer. I hope you can get along well at work."

"no problem……"

Clark Kent accepted the supervisor's arrangement, and showed Matthew a sunny and simple smile like a Kansas afternoon: "Hello, I'm Clark Kent, from Kansas."

"Hello, Clark, I'm Matthew Fast Constantine, from Gotham."

Matthew held Clark's hand, making no secret of his identity as a Gotham native.

"Gotham people?"

Clark frowned.

Matthew: "Do you feel unlucky?"

"I think you are very strong..." Clark said, "You spent your childhood and youth in a city full of crime and darkness, but you still have a confident and optimistic smile, and you also took the initiative to join the news circle, and worked hard to expose the injustice in the world." effort."

"Mr. Clark, I'm not as noble as you think. I applied to the "Daily Planet" just because I needed a job and it happened to meet the recruitment requirements of the "Daily Planet."

Matthew knew that it would be difficult for him to completely hide his secrets in front of the Kryptonian’s sincerity and simplicity, so he told half the truth and half the lie, in order to cover up that he applied for the “Daily Planet” to get in touch with the Kryptonians and investigate the creation energy by the way. The real purpose of the fragment.

"Mr. Matthew, you are one of the most honest people I have ever met."

Clark saw that Matthew was hiding something from himself, but because the Gotham person he knew the most was "Batman" Bruce Wayne, so even if he saw Matthew's concealment, he only thought that he grew up in Gotham Human beings have a natural tendency to protect themselves.

Just as the two were getting to know each other and greeting each other, the office suddenly received a call.

"Clark! There was a building fire in the fifth block! Two people were trapped on the fifteenth floor, including a child! Hurry up and grab the news!"

"Okay, Director."

Clark nodded, quickly packed up his belongings, and said to Matthew: "I'm sorry, you just started working today and you haven't gotten familiar with the equipment to catch up with such dangerous breaking news. You can—"

"I'd be more than happy to go with you."

……

The "Daily Planet" car quickly arrived at the scene of the incident where the smoke billowed.

As soon as the car door was opened, the choking smell immediately hit the face, mixed with the heart-piercing cries of the women and children trapped in the apartment building, and the helpless family members of the trapped people who heard the news and rushed for help.

"Who! Who will help us! Save my wife and children!"

The fire brigade was already in place, and the high-pressure water cannon roared to wash away the smoke-filled apartment where the incident occurred, but the source of the fire was between the [-]th and [-]th floors. The women and children trapped by the fire lived on the [-]th floor, and the fire ladder could not reach them. .

The firefighters could only pull up the cushion on the ground and call out to the trapped woman to bravely jump off with her child in her arms.

"No! I can't do it! The anti-theft window can't be opened!"

On the fifteenth floor, a woman shouted in panic while dodging the thick smoke with her child in her arms.

The fire severely deformed the anti-theft windows that originally protected the safety of property, and became so red that ordinary people could not touch them at all.

"What should I do?! What should I do now!"

The woman's husband was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot. Kneeling on the ground, he prayed and cried: "God! Send an angel to save them! If this continues, they will die inside!"

Looking at her husband crying in despair, Matthew frowned and said to Clark: "If Superman is here, he must have a way to save them."

"Yeah, yeah! If there's a Superman, they'll get away with it!"

The fellow drivers echoed again and again.

Matthew added: "It's a pity that I don't know who Superman is, and I can't contact him, let alone expect him to fall from the sky... Sigh...Tommy is such an unfortunate child..."

Tommy is the name of the baby in the trapped woman's arms. 1 minute ago, Matthew learned from their neighbors.

Because of this sentence, the driver was also depressed: "If I were Superman, I would definitely—Clark, why are you missing?"

"what?"

Matthew looked around, and Clark disappeared: "This guy—look! What is that!"

He saw a blue and red figure swooping down not far away. After arriving at the burning tall building, he rushed into the fire without hesitation, like a god descending.

People suddenly boiled up.

"Superman! Superman! Here comes Superman!"

"Tommy and Catherine are saved!"

"Great! Superman is coming! Great!"

……

With their cries of joy, Superman flew out of the smoky apartment building with the woman and child in his arms, and slowly landed on the ground.

Safe and sound!Everyone is safe and sound!

Tommy, who was only two years old, didn't know what kind of escape he had just experienced, and he giggled heartlessly from his pink mouth.

But adults know what's going on.

The mother of the children was in tears, and before Superman put them down, she hugged Superman, cried, and thanked over and over again: "Thank you! Thank you! You are my angel! My protector! Thank you! Thanks……"

"Ma'am, I just did what I had to do."

After speaking, Superman put down the woman and child, turned and flew into the sky.

The husband rushed forward, embraced the escaped wife and child, and wept with joy.

"We have to thank Superman! He's our Guardian Hero!"

"Yes! Superman is the patron saint of Metropolis!"

"Superman!"

……

Infected by the excitement, people shouted excitedly and applauded vigorously.

Matthew noticed that when Superman appeared in front of everyone, his face seemed to be shrouded in divine light, and pure human vision could not see his appearance clearly.

Moreover, after Superman leaves, the gratitude of the citizens of the metropolis will turn into a golden light that only a few people with special powers can see, and it will converge on Superman who reappears at the scene of the fire as reporter Clark.

Clark's glasses can seal the divine light on Superman.

No wonder...

After figuring out the reason, Matthew pretended to regret and said to Clark: "Hey! Clark, where did you go just now? Do you know what you missed?"

"what?"

"Superman!"

Matthew shouted excitedly: "Superman came just now! He saved Catherine and her child! Do you know, Superman is so handsome! I have never seen a man so...so close to the gods!"

"A man close to the gods?"

Clark's mouth curved shyly.

Matthew nodded again and again: "Clark, my mind is full of him now, I am fascinated by him! If I have his contact information, I must date him!"

"Even if Superman is straight?"

Real? Straight? Superman? The corners of Clark's mouth twitched.

Although several of his children showed obvious homosexuality.

Taking Clark's subtle expressions into his eyes, Matthew said mischievously: "Clark, you think too much, I regard Superman as an idol. Our date is purely a date between a fan and an idol, and has nothing to do with falling in love."

"Well, I'm too traditional..."

Clark sincerely apologized to Matthew.

Afterwards, the two began formal interview work.

……

Metropolitan Airport, Exit [-].

Dick and his party quickly found Barbara and her younger brother James Gordon Jr. in the crowd.

In order to suppress the urge to kill, little James tried his best to turn himself into a cowardly and ordinary person who achieved nothing, but when Dick and his party appeared in front of him, the instinct of a genius killer emerged again, and the nail clippers in his hand were all—

"Brother! Restrain yourself!"

Barbara hastily reminded.

Little James took a deep breath, suppressed the surging urge to kill, and greeted Dick and his party: "Hi! Dick!"

"Hi, James! And Barbara—"

Dick walked forward with the Titans members smiling, shook hands with James one by one, and hugged Barbara.

When it was Martian girl's turn, Barbara's expression was obviously subtle.

The Martian girl also embraced her rival with mixed emotions: "We meet again, Barbara."

"Are things going well in New York?"

"Everything is going well..." Rachel said, "Matthew is a very reliable companion."

"Matthew?"

Barbara's complexion changed again: "Didn't Matthew come to Metropolis with you?"

"You want to see Matthew?"

The Martian girl asked: "Do you want to know if Matthew Pender and Matthew Constantine are the same person?"

"If possible, I would like to find out the results of this problem immediately, but the problem is-"

Barbara let out a long breath. "Dick, Connor, Tim, I think we're in trouble."

"About the engagement?"

Dick, who had already talked to Batman, blurted out.

"Yes," said Barbara, "I suspect conspiracy behind the engagement."
