The Death Knell

After hearing Valeria's inquiry, Doom touched his mask. This is one of his secret bases, the Doomsday Fortress under the land of Latvinia.

This looks like a huge library, with magic and technological props everywhere. But the little girl has no magical talent, her only toy is a supercomputer.

"You're hearing things, kid, and Doom is never afraid."

"Then why do you go to the future? Uncle Doom, the things in front of us are enough for us to deal with." Little Luoli watched curiously as Doom walked out of the time machine with a few people.

Is this a way to rescue from the end of time? However, this cannot avoid the collapse of the almighty universe. Is it necessary to cut off this week's time and form a time loop, using unlimited time to solve the current crisis in disguise?

In just a short moment, little Luoli thought of a lot of reasons, because she knew that Doom would not bring anyone here casually.

Doom approached the huge computer. Against the tall armored man, the girl looked as petite as a doll placed on the chair.

"I only go to the future to draw courage from it, and I have already seen it. The future has been trampled like dust by a group of crazy gods. I must destroy them..."

Little Luoli scratched his fluffy blond hair, and his cheeks bulged like a squirrel. As expected, Doom chose the method he preferred, which was to face the Transcendent Gods head-on.

"Okay, I'll help you, but who did you bring?"

"Some old antiques, people who always hide in the shadows of the world, are also Reed's enemies... Reed treats you as a child and will not tell you about his shameful history - such as his fanatical exploration of mysteries unknown, but was cut into pieces by its guardian..."

Doom didn't smile, but he could feel his pleasure through the mask, as if the pile of rubber blocks were placed in front of him.

"Wait, are you teaching this to your children? Hate education is popular in Latvinia?"

Su Ming raised objections to Doom's education methods. Although he also wanted to hear who killed Reed in the future, it was not good to be targeted by little Luoli.

"It doesn't matter, Val has a rational mind and can distinguish right from wrong. All I tell her is the truth." Doom looked at the display readings on the computer calmly, and the light spots reflected by the numbers kept changing on his mask: "Things in the magical world It's not something that Reed's curiosity should explore. He wants to use scientific instruments to control the ancient gods, and he treats the whole world as a child's play in fairy tales."

Little Luoli sat on the chair and swayed her legs. She thought for a while and nodded: "Since my parents are fine, it means that this gentleman is still measured. Invading other people's territory is like breaking into a house." It’s normal for someone to rob and be counterattacked by the master. On the contrary, it’s me who should feel ashamed. So, are you sorcerers?”

The corners of Su Ming's mouth twitched under his mask. He turned to look at Shiri and then at the mysterious guest.

Ciri was looking around curiously. There were many interesting things in Doom's place, such as the technological projector of the entire omnipotent universe, or the magic ears that eavesdropped on information from extra dimensions.

Her attention was all on these new things, as if she didn't even notice what they were saying.

Mysterious guest was standing behind Su Ming, with a perfect smile on her face. Her eyes fell on little Luoli's blond hair, as if she was planning to reach out and touch it, but she was holding back her desire.

Su Ming sighed, why are other people's children so rational, while his own are driven by emotions?

"Not a sorcerer, but a warrior."

He drew out the big sword behind him and glanced at little Luoli.

Valeria nodded. She supported her chin with her little hand and leaned on the armrest of the chair. She didn't ask any more questions. She just looked at Doom with her big eyes to see what his next arrangements would be.

Doom stretched out his hand, entered a series of commands directly on the console, and then began to debug some of his instruments and equipment, adding many strange things to the platform of the space-time gate just now.

"About time, space, reality, and everything else, everything is ready now, can we start?"

"You have a ready-made plan to deal with Loki." Su Ming took off his helmet. The air here was much better than at the end of time, only a week away.

Doom turned to look at him, but quickly continued working, his green cloak being blown up by the wind caused by his quick steps: "Isn't that why you came to see me specifically?"

Well, this is indeed the case. Doom, who has cooperated with Loki many times, and who has broken up with him countless times, will of course have a lot of back-up tools to deal with Loki.

There are many people who can deal with the God of Stories. Generally speaking, those with time abilities have hope, but Doom, who is approaching the end of time, is undoubtedly the most prepared.

Su Ming could come up with a plan to deal with Loki, but Doom had a plan that he had prepared for more than ten years to restrain Loki, and he could use it directly.

Some people's plans are untrustworthy. For example, Wade or Iron Man's plans often go wrong.

But Doctor Doom's plans are almost always good. These plans fail, often just because his character is too proud and fails in the details of execution.

As long as Su Ming pays more attention to this aspect, the entire plan will be flawless.

Except for the comic characters in Marvel who are invincible, the relationship between victory and defeat for other people is basically a game of tiger, stick, chicken, and there is often a chain of restraint or being restrained.

For example, Scarlet Witch's magic restrains Vision, Vision's physical immunity restrains Captain America, but Captain America's verbal abuse restrains Scarlet Witch. This is the smallest closed loop.

There are also those that come back in a big circle, and complex networks of restraint will be formed between different groups such as superpowers, mutants, aliens, strangers, sorcerers, etc.

Of course, there are also simpler relationships. For example, Steve and Bucky restrain each other, and Deadpool and Wolverine also restrain each other.

So does Doom.

As far as the current matter is concerned, Mephisto restrains Doom because he holds the soul of Doom's mother; Doom restrains Loki because of the combination of science, technology and magic; Loki restrains Doom because of his deception. Well, he restrained Mephisto.

The three people formed a closed loop. In order to prevent Loki from finding Mephisto to counter Doom, Su Ming had already prepared Mysterio, another hell lord, to deal with Mephisto who might appear.

Anyway, when Su Ming and Doom are dealing with Loki, if Mephisto dares to intervene, Mysterio will launch a hell invasion and use the Limbo to devour Mephisto's hell and force him to compromise.

If Mephisto asks a sorcerer to deal with the mysterious guest, Su Ming has Hamil to deal with it. The guardian clan represents the Supreme Mage. Who dares to provoke Kama Taj?

And if Loki plans to find other time users, we still have Ciri who can restrain them and carry out the fastest interception and response on the timeline. Ciri has the fastest time travel speed and the preparation time is shorter than anyone else. The flash ability is the most suitable skill for assassination.

This was a puzzle that had been planned for a long time. The details that Doom didn't notice were filled in by Deathstroke.

As a result, Loki's path is basically blocked, and he can only change his predicament by writing a new 'story'.

But could Su Ming not think of it? Why do we need to surround the city with three towers?

It is one of the eight principles for using troops in warfare listed by Sun Wu in "Sun Tzu's Art of War and Military Struggle". The word "que" in it means "gap", which means to emphasize the need to leave a virtual gap when encircling the enemy.

Encircling the enemy on all sides may make the enemy determined to fight to the death, but if a gap is deliberately left, it may make the enemy waver between fleeing or fighting to the death.

More importantly, leaving a gap is not to leave a gap alone, but to prepare an ambush at the place where the enemy must escape, so that the enemy will fall into an ambush during the hasty escape...

Su Ming came to the end of the world for two people, one was Doom, and the other was not Valeria, but her brother, Franklin.

Franklin is a mutant who exceeds the Omega level. He has a strong ability to modify reality and psychic abilities. His abilities include manipulation of matter and energy, energy projection, mind manipulation, telepathy, astral projection, foreseeing the future, and traveling through time and space. , immortality, creating parallel universes, etc.

The scope of his abilities can cover a universe, he can change the molecular structure of matter and energy, and replicate cosmic gods such as Galactus, Eternity, and Infinity in the created universe.

When he was young, he caused a lot of trouble because he couldn't control his abilities. For example, he turned the Fantastic Four into ordinary people during battle, just so that his parents could play with him and his sister.

Except for Doom, who beat up the Fantastic Four and was very happy, everyone else was not very happy.

After Reed returned home, he angrily scolded Franklin. If the enemy at that time was not a destruction robot, but Doom's true form, the four of them would have been there.

Even though it was finally resolved, the Human Torch was seriously injured due to falling from a high altitude.

As a result, Franklin was very aggrieved. As soon as he had an idea, he turned Reed into a large doll named "Dad", so that he would no longer nag...

In the end, Susan comforted him and changed Reed back.

As he grew older, Franklin also realized the dangers of his abilities. He sealed most of his abilities, retaining only the ability to shape a single universe.

Because this ability is more interesting, he can build the world for himself, just like other children build blocks.

At the time Doom is at now, at the end of the Secret War, Franklin should have unlocked most of his abilities. He will be persuaded by his sister and Doom to help Doom shape the 'Fighting World', and even more in the future. A completely new and different universe.

What Su Ming wants is the current Franklin, taking him to the past and using his ability to create and modify the world to target Loki's 'story' ability.

Loki can prevent others from changing himself through magic, but he cannot prevent others from changing the world.

This is the ultimate pit, and Loki is bound to fall into it, because the God of Story is in a contradiction between change and immutability, and this is why his stories end unfinished.

Why are there so many graffiti and garbled characters in storybooks? Because Loki didn't know how to write, or which path to take.

Don't know what to choose?

It's easy to handle. All Su Ming needs to do is arrange a way for him...
