The Death Knell

Fire and thick smoke appeared everywhere in the Eternal City, and almost as soon as the war started, extremely cruel street fighting broke out. Many people who were closest friends just a few minutes ago are now at war with each other and are on different sides.

The only purpose of the ferocious-looking soldiers at this time was to use their weapons to eliminate the traitors on the opposite side as quickly as possible.

That's right, Da Vinci declared Newton a traitor, Newton said Da Vinci was a traitor, and now both sides are traitors, and the situation is chaotic.

"It seems that your prestige is not very good. The number of troops on your side is too small and they are losing ground."

Su Ming looked down at several streets and found that Newton's side was all wearing silver armor, crushing Da Vinci's side wearing gold armor.

They were more numerous and more disciplined, and after Newton offered the elixir as bait, everyone rushed to get ahead.

Da Vinci had no other choice but to sigh, because the incident happened suddenly, and after he sent the signal, he didn't even have time to give a mobilization speech.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Leo with a resentful look.

Although I don't know what Leo did at that time, the god suddenly became stronger and bigger. It seems that it was caused by the origin of this human machine.

Da Vinci was depressed, but couldn't express it.

Su Ming, who had been paying attention to his expression, knew that this feeling was called 'cheating'. That is to say, Da Vinci's cultivation is good enough, otherwise he would definitely treat Leo to his favorite big ear scraper.

But even if Da Vinci really loses control and wants to beat Leo, Su Ming has to protect him. The original plan required Su Ming to secretly attack the alien species of the gods, but now it is no longer necessary. What a good boy... ..

Da Vinci, who was in his prime, opened and closed his mouth. After repeating this several times, he started with a sigh.

"The odds are stacked against us, not just for my brothers, but for the entire planet."

Su Ming nodded, and his deep voice clearly penetrated into the ears of several people amidst the fire and explosion: "You have made a plan, but you have not prepared a counter plan for this plan. From a strategic level, the outcome will not be the same." How good it is."

This is the fact. A human machine that requires nine people to operate cannot function without any one person, and its fault tolerance is too poor.

It’s not like just grabbing any cat or dog and stuffing it into a machine will make it useful. In Zheng Xian’s words, the candidate must ‘accomplish destiny’.

Michelangelo's ability in sculpture cannot be compared even if ten Su Ming are tied together. But when it comes to formulating strategies and tactics, artists are obviously not as good as experienced mercenaries.

This kind of plan of Holy Shield is more like a blind choice made without knowing any cosmic information, or it can be said that it is a cover-up.

You must know that the alien species of the gods should not exist in the first place. Even for the similar members of the god group, they want to get rid of them quickly. Leaving the alien species on the earth is definitely a big trouble.

Michelangelo left for a while and found a tattered corpse, which was that of Nostradamus.

He was obviously unlucky. He was already very fast when he was thrown from the platform, and he crashed directly into some debris. At this time, his whole body became like a rag doll.

Looking at his body, Leonardo da Vinci despaired, despairing of a world where he would die if he was not careful!

Without human machines, the Holy Shield is helpless, and now it can only be left to the Holy Spear and Karma Taj to set the price. As for the detailed terms of the transaction, Su Ming left it to Zheng Xian to negotiate. After all, when it came to understanding the Holy Shield, he was definitely far better than Su Ming.

There is a lot of hidden history, known only to those who were also lurking in the darkness at the time.

Su Ming walked to Leo's side. He was now calmer, but when he saw the mistakes he had made in the distance, his whole body turned pale.

When white people have a bad complexion, they appear gray, like a walking zombie.

"It was me who harmed them...it was me who harmed them..."

Su Ming squatted beside him and patted his shoulder: "Young man, don't think so. It was the Holy Shield's plan that harmed them and it has nothing to do with you."

"Are you...?" He turned his head numbly.

"My name is Deathstroke, and I am a good neighbor and good friend to people all over the world." Su Ming still covered his face, but Leo was completely numb and had no surprised reaction to the weirdo in front of him. Su Ming added, "If not Leonardo da Vinci, how did the alien species come into contact with you? If it wasn't Michelangelo's plan, how could everything develop like this?"

It is like a ray of light in a dark soul, and like a life-saving straw for a drowning person. After finding a channel to vent, the instinctive reaction of young people is to shirk responsibility.

Because Deathstroke's purposeful scapegoating was so tempting, Leo, who was not determined, immediately began to gasp.

That makes sense, it's all Holy Shield's fault, he just appeared where he shouldn't have.

Although Su Ming had a smile on his face, he actually shook his head secretly. Leo was indeed still young. In terms of mentality, he was still just an ordinary high school student.

Whether you are a superhero or a super villain, you need to have a sense of responsibility. Even if a terrorist commits a major crime, you must go on TV to report that you are responsible for the terrorist attack.

Not to mention superheroes, if they make a mistake, they will immediately admit it and try their best to correct it, even if they die as a result.

It's not safe to destroy a Nostradamus, so Su Ming chose to incite the dark side in Leo's heart, making him obey his instinct and retreat.

After all, he was still eating noodles and picking up girls in New York during the day. At night, someone suddenly told him, ‘The organization research has been decided, and it’s up to you to save the world’…

Who can withstand this?

Only one person in a million can become a hero. Leo has the ability, but his heart is not ready yet.

He lowered his voice and whispered in Leo's ear: "Da Vinci and the light man have hidden many secrets from you. If you don't believe me, just ask the minion who your biological father is. Then you can You will understand how sinister they are..."

Leo looked at the two people who were discussing business with Zheng Xian. They were very anxious because people were dying down there all the time. They probably didn't have time to pay attention to him, so he still asked the death knell.

"If you know, why not tell me?"

"Will you believe me? It's easier for you to believe some things when they come out of their mouths, right?" Su Ming played hard to get.

"No, you saved us, I believe you." Leo also lowered his voice and said firmly.

Su Ming pretended to be embarrassed and hesitated for a moment: "Okay, you must stay calm. I will tell you who your biological father is and why you are like this. That happened in the year 300." A story from before..."

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

The logic of the story is very simple. It tells the story of Newton, who was Galileo's apprentice and devoted himself to science.

As a scientist, no matter what aspect of research you are engaged in, you will always encounter research bottlenecks.

After Newton joined the Brotherhood, his research projects were completely different from those of his mentor Galileo. Galileo mainly studied extraterrestrial life and astronomy, while Newton studied physics and mathematics.

Although Galileo was able to make some modest suggestions in physics, Newton's knowledge soon surpassed his own.

And this is where the story begins.

For a period of time, Newton fell into a research bottleneck. Even if he pulled out his hair, there was no progress in his research. So Galileo suggested that he study chemistry and alchemy to see if he could draw parallels and gain some inspiration.

The conclusion is no, it is of no use at all.

The research at that time had already driven Newton crazy, and all the known paths were unavailable, so he planned to use the power of the mysterious side.

Pushing the world forward has always required someone to pay the price, and Newton was a man willing to pay for it.

What he pursues is more profound science, concepts that are even incomprehensible to lower races. He began to study forbidden knowledge, some higher knowledge beyond the limits of the earth.

Galileo discovered his research because Newton was trying to use mathematical formulas to calculate how the end of the world would come about and when it would come.

But he was a tolerant wise man, and he told Newton that there was no answer to this in the Eternal City.

Newton remembered that he had seen a vague record in the ancient books of alchemy. According to legend, in a certain pocket space, there was a city covered by ice and snow, where creatures created by the ancient gods lived. human knowledge.

In order to obtain this knowledge, Newton improved Leonardo da Vinci's space bridge technology in 1625, and successfully locked the ice and snow plane of Asomia and found the city of Deviant where the monsters lived.

He went there alone.

Before he reached the outer wall of the city, he was captured by the guards there, and as a rare species, he was escorted before the king.

The race living in the ice and snow is a green-skinned, toad-like monster that walks upright and has a foul-smelling mucus on its body that allows them to survive in low temperatures.

They have no technology, but use a weird ability similar to magic, and can even talk to Newton fluently in English within seconds of meeting.

The king, who looked like a giant toad, asked him who he was and why he came.

Newton told him that he was just a man who came to seek knowledge, to learn and to serve them.

The monsters just looked at him with their small eyes and instantly checked all his DNA sequences. They found human beings very interesting, so they selected an excellent female to breed with Newton.

If he could make a female pregnant, it would prove that his genes were good enough to understand advanced knowledge. If it doesn't work, then it's a beast. You can't even think about knowledge, and you have to give up your life.

For the sake of knowledge, Newton worked for many days on the monstrous green-skinned female.

He endured the female's big mouth that could swallow a human head, eyes bigger than fists, fangs that looked like gravel, and the stench of a beast.

Only through alchemical potions and self-hypnosis was Newton able to get into bed. Amidst the female monster's moans like a horse's braying, he finally got the monster pregnant.

He gained the right to live and work in the city. He endured the insult of being an alien and a debauched society with no ethics at all.

After living in that hell on earth for a year, he finally had the chance to find the wordless book, the knowledge passed down to the monsters by the rulers of the past.

He touched the Book of Heaven, and countless secret words crawled over his body like ants and entered his mind.

The knowledge is there, and it was hidden from the world until that day.

It is not science, but something different, something twisted, something alien and pious.

Scriptures that have been closely guarded for thousands of years, have never been copied, never shared, and henceforth the knowledge belongs to the Brotherhood!

Newton was not a warrior, but he was very clever. He poisoned the water supply of the entire city and caused a fire by destroying the energy source in the city, completely destroying everything.

Then he hurriedly escaped and escaped from the plane with his new abilities. After returning to the Eternal City, he used forbidden knowledge combined with the reality of the earth to develop the elixir.

Of course, this also has disadvantages, because after taking the elixir, his mentor Galileo also had eternal life.

This is not good. Newton has figured out why and when the end will happen. He must obtain the leadership of the Aegis Brotherhood in order to prepare according to his own ideas and change the world.

So one night not long after he returned to the Eternal City, he sneaked into Galileo's room, murdered the teacher while he slept, and pretended to have a heart attack.

Then he got his wish and became the Supreme Councilor, where he remains today.
