The Death Knell

An apprentice brought coffee. New York time was now several hours behind Rome time, and the night was dark.

The fireplace in the New York Temple is burning brightly, the room is warm and quiet, rows of tall bookshelves line the living room, and magical paintings appear from time to time. This is a fantasy world.

Su Ming won't be so idle that he can use the time gem to turn unlimited coffee. There are so many subordinates in the temple. Let them do their work. Isn't it good for him to be taken care of?

He took a sip of coffee and leaned back on the soft plush sofa, the fireplace letting the armor reflect a faint glow.

"Although I rescued you from the Holy Shield this time, you already know too many things. They will not let you go. If they plan to kill you and silence you, not even Tesla can stop them."

After hearing this, Leo's hand holding the coffee cup kept shaking. He really had not thought of this problem before.

Not only did he see these figures in the darkness, but he also saw the immortal city, giant robots, and all kinds of secrets.

There is a famous line in many movies - only the dead can keep secrets.

He didn't want to die at all, but what should he do? He saw the power of the Holy Shield Brotherhood. It was an army, and even his father couldn't protect him all the time.

"Then what does Master think I should do?"

"There are only two best ways. One is to join the relevant department, which is the former Brotherhood of the Holy Spear. You have also seen their leader, the middle-aged man with squinting eyes, although they are hidden deeper than the Holy Shield. , but your style of conduct is quite bottom-line, and your power is enough to protect you."

Su Ming finished his coffee and waved to his apprentice to bring him wine.

"Oh..." Leo rubbed his forehead hard.

"It's just that you have to become a Chinese citizen, move there, and complete all the registration and filing procedures to complete the tasks assigned to you by the country."

After hearing these conditions, Leo was of course unwilling. He was still thinking about Lily.

"What's another one?"

Su Ming was waiting for him to ask: "There is another way...are you willing to learn magic and join my Kama Taj?"

Leonid is a hybrid of human beings and creatures of ancient gods. That civilization is a magical civilization, and he should also be gifted with magic.

Moreover, in the comic story, he finally merged with the alien species of the gods and became a part of "eternity", and he was very powerful.

Although he is timid now and does not seem to have the potential to become a hero, Su Ming does not need a hero, just a thug.

Moreover, with Leo in hand, Tesla can be won over, and that is the world's number one Thunder King.

There are some things that it is not convenient for Howard to help research as Slade. In this case, you can use the identity of Supreme Mage Deathstroke to ask Tesla for help.

As long as Leo explains to Tesla what Su Ming told him, that mustache will definitely no longer be loyal to the Holy Shield, and will just become a double agent and stay inside the Holy Shield.

When he and Howard came back, they saw with their own eyes that Da Vinci's plan failed, and saw the power of God, and the subsequent plan went bankrupt...

I’m still looking forward to what the expressions of those three people will be like when the time comes.

"Can I learn magic?" Leo suddenly became energetic. Mysterious special powers are always very attractive.

Su Ming took the slowly flying wine bottle and glass. The brown-red wine looked particularly mellow against the firelight: "It should be possible, because of the blood."

"Then I'm willing to join Karma Taj." Leo blurted out the answer with almost no hesitation. It was great to not only find a backer but also learn mysterious magic.

Seeing the plan being implemented, Su Ming also nodded happily: "I will inform the guardian here, teach you the knowledge of magic, and send you to Karma Taj for further study when necessary. You can still live in New York, go to school or Just go to work and study whenever you have free time.”

After saying this, he asked the black mage to give Leo permission to enter and exit the New York Temple. Then Su Ming said that he was going to deal with the robot and let Leo go home by himself.

It's not far from Queens, you can walk back even on two legs.

Leo had no doubt that he was there and left gratefully. When Su Ming returned to Rome again, he took Hamil with him.

When he was talking to Leo, Zheng Xian's conditions should have been almost negotiated, because the previous conspiracy was hatched by Su Ming and him, and Zheng Xian must not dare to take advantage of him.

He is not that stupid. Both of them are not clean. They were on a thief's boat from the beginning.

Su Ming brought Hamil here just to be able to use the portal to transport benefits.

"How's it going, Lao Zheng?"

Zheng Xian first greeted Hamil with a smile. Although he did not see the portal, he saw the hanging ring on Hamil's hand and knew that he was from Kamal Taj.

He is Deathstroke's subordinate, and he must be a close confidant.

"It's all agreed, some technological creations, some Egyptian magic, and some money." As he said that, he rubbed his fingers together and made a gesture of counting money.

"What about anti-gravity technology?" Qian Suming is not lacking, but technology is indispensable.

"You know, alien black technology only has physical objects and no principles." Zheng Xian spread his hands. They all looked down on earth technology, but it takes a lot of time to reverse the black technology.

Su Ming knew that although Howard had been studying this topic, it still couldn't work from then to now.

He looked at Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo: "My share of money will be exchanged for a set of magic armor. I want a women's one. Is there a deal?"

Da Vinci looked at the city that was half demolished by the gods with distress, and nodded sadly.

The city can be rebuilt after it is gone, but the dead cannot be resurrected. Whether they support Newton or those who support him, they are all brothers of Holy Shield.

Under such circumstances, what other choice did he have when negotiating conditions? He almost accepted all the conditions proposed by Zheng Xian.

Zheng Xian is very measured. He has gained benefits without touching the bottom line of Holy Shield.

"Hamil, wait to hand over to the two masters. Lao Zheng, let's go do some activities and kill the gods first."

"Let's go and give it a try."

Zheng Xian took a breath, adjusted himself, and jumped off the roof with a spear in hand.

As if he suddenly remembered something, Su Ming turned around and asked:

"Is Newton going to live or die?"

"Please try to capture him alive. He must receive a fair trial." Leonardo Da Vinci replied disappointedly.

Su Ming curled his lips and jumped off the roof.

What is a fair trial? The Holy Shield Brotherhood has no laws, only rules. In the final analysis, this is still a lynching.

He fell next to Zheng Xian, and the two of them walked towards the gods. The streets in the distance were in chaos, and various building debris almost blocked the way.

Fortunately, the positions where the few people were standing have not been affected yet, and the god is still some distance away. It seems to have discovered that people are delicious, and its attention is on the army.

"What should we do?" Zheng Xian looked up at the huge machine. After devouring some people, the monster grew larger.

"No matter how strong the fortress is, it will be broken from the inside." Su Ming pulled out the Night Sword from the silk bag. At this time, X metal is more reliable: "We will find a way to enter its body and then destroy it. Core."

"We know almost nothing about the gods. We only know that they are advanced machines driven by numbers. Are you sure it will work?" Zheng Xian jumped onto the wreckage with a whoosh and looked at the giant in the distance.

"They need to constantly obtain energy, which means there must be an energy storage structure inside the body. As long as it can be destroyed there, it should stop functioning due to loss of energy. Does this logic make sense?"

Su Ming also held the giant sword and floated beside him, thinking about what weakness in the god could get into it.

They will devour energy and planets, but not through mouths, they have no mouths, but through some special kind of contact.

"The theory makes sense, but my teacher didn't teach me how to deal with the gods." Zheng Xian still smiled, but there was a cautious look in his eyes.

"The ability to kill gods... sounds like the story of dragon slaying. Even if you learn it, where can you find gods to kill?" Su Ming said calmly. He didn't need guidance when dealing with enemies: "By the way, Zhang Heng hasn't written any books like "Outline of Dragon Slaying", right?"

Zheng Xian is also impressed by Deathstroke's ability to think divergently. What does this have to do with dragon slaying? However, he still shook his head and answered the question: "There are dragons in heaven, but there is really no dragon-slaying skill."

"Are you talking about Fei Fei Long and Shou Lao? Brother, I have a suggestion for you. It's best to prepare early. Those things are not very reliable." Su Ming laughed, which made Zheng Xian feel a little flustered.

The prophecy of the Supreme Mage cannot be ignored, but Deathstroke only mentioned it without saying anything more, which was very uncomfortable.

Zheng Xian plans to keep in touch with Karma Taj in the future. Today's cooperation has laid a good foundation. It would be great if the wizards can help in some aspects in the future.

"Let's solve the immediate trouble first." He brought back the topic. The armor that almost covered the monster's body was like a city wall for a human's size.

Su Ming nodded: "There are weak and strong gods. Although this alien species has unlimited potential, it is actually only a little over 100 meters tall now, and it does not have any conceptual power. It is easy to deal with."

"Oh? It seems that you know a lot about the Celestial God Group." Zheng Xian looked at Deathstroke with admiration. As a young man, it is really amazing to be able to master so much knowledge.

But soon, Su Ming's answer exceeded his imagination, and he said it in a calm tone.

"There are a total of 1,256 gods known to exist in the universe. There are even more unknown gods. There are 12 gods who have arrived on the earth. One of them was tricked by your teacher into going to the sun. Now its child has returned, so the number remains unchanged. The god who originally stayed on earth was named Ziran the Observer, but he was killed by Odin and buried somewhere unknown."

"You...your intelligence ability is a bit scary." Zheng Xian's smile turned into a bitter smile. Is this something humans should know? Where did this information about the total number of gods come from?

Su Ming just looked at him quietly, smiling and saying nothing.

Zheng Xian also knew that Deathstroke would definitely not tell him the source of the information. Being able to tell him the general information about the Celestial Group was already a very friendly gesture.

"Forget it, let's do it." He moved his wrists, unbuttoned the collar, and pulled on the tie.

Su Ming observed the god a few more times, and then motioned to Lao Zheng to grab the magic floating cloak: "Let's go in from behind."
