The Death Knell

"Ah! Karma Taj! Damn the Ancient One!"

Belasco cursed angrily. When he saw the familiar golden ring of fire, he knew whose handiwork it was and what it represented.

Develop a deputy?

This idea was the idea that Gu Yi pretended to be an ancient god and put it into his mind!

He personally created his biggest enemy, a person who also possessed blood stones and was also favored by the ancient gods.

But he was only clear for a moment, and then he was drowned by more whispers. The ancient gods seemed to have seen him trapped in the endless loop of space, and they were all trying to help him find a way out of the predicament.

It's just that hundreds of voices are speaking in his mind, each in a different language, and his mind is like a noisy downtown.

However, the fall did not last long, and soon he fell to the ground with a loud noise. Apart from his heart beating wildly, he did not suffer any injuries, as if the previous fall was an illusion.

He turned to look at the door of the cell, but he could see four people standing there, but the little girl tied to the corner of the cell was missing.

"Kill him and seize Limbo."

"Okay, teacher."

The young blond woman pulled out the sword from her chest with a smile. The door-like sword was all white, and the strong white light illuminated the cell.

This is exactly what the grown-up Mysterio will look like.

Su Ming asked Professor X and Phoenix to send the four people to ten years ago. Even though the Phoenix Power was controlled by Professor

Reversing ten years is equivalent to using facts to create an independent timeline outside the main time stream, which is to create a 'parallel universe' of the plane of Limbo.

Barry's method of correcting the Flashpoint incident was actually to abandon the timeline where Flashpoint occurred and return it to the original timeline. However, too many people were affected, and many stories were changed, restarting the universe in disguise.

Now Su Ming's tactics are actually inspired by the Comedian's Badge. Although it is not possible to directly cut a section from the time stream as a closed-circuit system that continuously backtracks like Dr. Manhattan did, it is enough for now.

Su Ming doesn't like to play with timelines because the effects are unpredictable.

But this doesn't mean that he can't play. On the contrary, as a bystander, he can play better than anyone else.

Loki wants to tell a story? Then Deathstroke will stir time into a pot of chaos. It is not just Loki in the future who can travel through time. Su Ming can find a lot of such people. If you include other parallel worlds in Marvel, they can't even form an army. question.

...........

Now, in that independent timeline, the three people raised Mysterio. As a half-demon raised by humans, she perfectly inherited the strengths of the three people.

Hamil's magical knowledge, Xili's swordsmanship and fighting skills, and Su Ming's style of conduct.

And in that timeline, because she was the only demon in the entire Limbo, she naturally became the Lord of Hell.

Returning to this timeline, she directly overwritten her young self who was seriously injured and collapsed on the throne, which meant that her childhood had completely changed.

She didn't grow up with the New X-Men, but spent her childhood in Limbo as a disciple of Deathstroke. I dare not say anything else, but Su Ming promises that this is at least much more pleasant than the 'story' where she fell into Belasco's hands.

The only problem left now is that the tributaries and the main trunk converge, resulting in two lords in Hell's Border at this time, and this also achieves the conditions for the change of Hell's kingship in disguise.

As long as Mysterio can kill Belasco, he is really finished. The struggle between the hell lords has always been so direct, occupying each other's hell and making the other party unable to resurrect.

Maybe the 'masters' behind Belasco will resurrect him somewhere, but Mysterio will not let him take Limbo back.

Xili's situation is slightly better. She can travel through time and space alone. She can even skip classes when she gets tired of teaching.

Su Ming and Hamil have actually passed ten years in another timeline. He has not changed much, but Hamil is obviously older.

Seeing the former little girl turn into the hell lord today, Hamil was also a little emotional. As he grew older, he became a little more talkative.

"Finally home."

"Yeah, it's almost over, and I need her to help me next."

Su Ming stroked his beard like an old man. To be honest, he used Mysterio as a tool before, but after living together for so long, it was difficult to use him as a chess piece anymore.

Xili is helpless. Every time she jumps out of the time tributary, the main world is at the end of 1945, and the time outside goes back again and again.

Even if she goes hunting with Geralt for a month, after returning to the branch of time, everything will seem to be reset the next time she comes out.

Geralt's month-long hunt had not yet begun, and it was the moment before they entered the tributary, and the wheelchair marks on the ground were still there.

The ten years in that tributary are not exhausted, and the external time is meaningless relative to them. Deathstroke explained the principle to her, but she couldn't understand the metaphor of eggshells within eggshells at all, and she didn't want to hear the theory of relativity at all.

So annoying...

There is also little Mysterio. She was relatively obedient at first, but when she was fourteen or fifteen years old, she became more and more like a death knell.

At that time, she had mastered basically all of Hamill's white magic, spiritual projection, soul shaping and other advanced skills.

The first thing she did was to use her soul to forge a sword, a sword of the same style as Deathstroke's Night Sword.

Although the final product is not very similar, after all, soul casting is not blacksmithing, and what is shaped by the essence of the soul is not affected by the will of the sorcerer himself.

But it was also a giant sword, two meters long and forty centimeters wide.

Xili said at that time that she couldn't teach her fighting class anymore. What was she doing? Demon hunters all use one-handed swords. Who has ever seen a demon hunter with a giant sword?

Slade teaches it himself.

But he couldn't teach them, for the same reason he couldn't teach Natasha and the others before. His training and fighting methods would teach the girls to become King Kong Barbies.

Can you imagine what the body of a steel man looks like with the small face of a young hairy girl?

So Ciri gave up on herself and taught Mysterio the only sword technique she knew with the giant sword, which was the 'New Year's Sword Technique' that Slade had shown to her and Geralt in Novigrad. .....

Su Ming knew. No wonder he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity when he saw Mysterio attacking German soldiers in Paris last time. It turned out that the root cause was him?

.............

Keep talking, while the conversation was going on, the four of them immediately surrounded Velasco who fell out of the portal. The black and white swords flew up and down, and magic of various colors was mixed in.

Velasco was almost powerless to fight back.

The various weapons are okay, but a black monster always turns out solid metal to fix it on the ground, and occasionally bites him suddenly. It doesn't look like a living thing, nor is it metal, so it makes him Hard to guard against.

Anyway, as long as the mysterious guest kills the Hell Lord with his own hands and obtains the location of the Demon King, it is not impossible for several other people to help beat Belasco to serious injuries.

I have to say that the Hell Lord died a heroic death. Su Ming had never seen anyone who could persist for such a long time under the siege of him and the symbiote.

He was slashed hundreds of times, and Su Ming alone cut him in half dozens of times.

But he still stood tall. The ancient gods continued to repair his body and restore his strength. At that time, Su Ming almost thought that the plan had failed.

But in the end it was the ancient god who killed him.

Belasco suddenly thought that maybe there was an ancient god who could help him understand what happened. There was something wrong with the timeline.

So he also prayed to the ancient gods to give him the power to travel through time and space.

But who are you? who are you? Who am I? Are you me? Who is that?

I am you.

The ancient gods didn't seem to understand Belasco's meaning, and they gave this power to the mysterious guest...

So Velasco ended with hatred, and his curses seemed to still be heard when the four of them rested in front of a puddle of meat sauce.

"Is this how you got the ability to teleport space and time? You can learn how to use it with Xiri first. We still have some time."

Mysterio flipped up her long blond hair, scraped the meat paste from her face with her fingers and threw it to the ground. Her red eyes stared at the dark sky. Sharp horns grew on her head, and even her voice became hoarse. .

"The limbo of hell is mine!"

"You have always been the lord of Limbo, do you deserve to be so happy?" Ciri immediately ruffled Mysterio's hair, grabbing her two horns and playing with them.

"No, it feels different." Mysterio regained his human form and escaped from Xili's clutches. He sighed helplessly. Xili still treated her as a child, but Xili herself was like a child: "The past is in the tributary of time. The ten years in the middle seemed fake.”

"I also have this feeling......"

Xili said sadly. Every time she came out, she found that time had returned to the original point. Who knew how desperate she was?

Her car was built and disappeared again and again. This was not ownership at all.

Fortunately, when she was in the main trunk, time still flowed in the tributaries. She had not lived there for ten years, otherwise she thought she would definitely go crazy.

"It's not false at all, it's just hard for you to understand. In short, Liana should be careful about Belasco's resurrection in the future and her daughter coming to seek revenge."

Su Ming turned the God Killer into a shovel, scooped up Belasco's meat, and threw it into the portal opened by Hamill, letting the minced meat continue to fall freely.

"He also has a daughter?"

Liana put away her sword. She didn't know that a monster like Belasco had relatives.

"He doesn't know it himself, but that will happen later. The first priority now is to solve the 'story'."

Mysterio immediately showed an obedient expression, moved his head close to Su Ming, and let him touch his head: "I can squeeze and mobilize the power of Hell's Border with white magic. We can go to any place on any timeline now, and I will Come back here, wait for the arrival of 1992, and rewrite the final story."

"That's almost fifty years. You should go to Karma Taj and learn some black magic." Su Ming touched her little head and looked at her and narrowed her eyes in comfort.

"I know, to make up for some time and space paradoxes... Anyway, it will take a long time. I will find you secretly. Where do we need to go now?"

She just enjoyed it for a little while, then she immediately became serious and asked Su Ming seriously about his next plan.

"We're going to 'The End of Time', in La Tovinia."

Su Ming has made all preparations. With the help of the mysterious guest, Su Ming is sure to get the last two helpers.
